Ohaiyo~~! Azabu University 麻布大学

I have so many thing that I wish I could blog about it, and I don't know where to start.

Let's start with the great people that I met in Azabu University, Japan. (Because  the feeling is still strong that I wish I can write down about it. So that one day, when I read back, I know, how lucky and grateful I should be to have them with us during practicals.


When Sandy and I think of applying a 3 weeks long laboratory practical to Azabu University, I can't lie to you that we are not worried at all about the language barrier that we might facing. Yes, we were worried about that even though senior who had been there told us, the pathologist there can speak good English. But, this time is different, because we were planning to go for 3 weeks in 3 different labs. How about in other laboratory? How about the students over there? What if no one wants to talk to us. *the saddest story ever!*
T________________T  *siting on the floor, crying and throwing hands and legs*

So, we learnt a bit of japanese language before we went to Japan. (and obviously that's not enough, I wanna learn moooooooore~~ although the japan practical already finish. So, I already asked Robin to borrow some Japanese language learning book. *never stop learning hahahah* )     Shoutout to Robinn, ありがとうございます


On the night that we arrived in Yabe 矢部station, sandy and my host were there to pick us up and they held a welcoming party for us.

From the left, Misaki chan, me, my host (moe chan), sandy's host (Mutsumi san) and Sandy in blue singlet.
And the one at centre is the cake for us. written welcome to Japan sandy and Lin. 
The cake and dinner both are very tasty!

Misaki chan is very funny person, and she taught me a lot Nihongo, 日本語. and she reminds me so much of Zane Tam whom was one of my high school best friends.

Both of our hosts are studying in Azabu University. So, they are the 1st and 2nd friends that we make in Azabu University. =D

P.S: Japanese girls are so pretty and their skin is very smooth. 滑滑

This is Azabu University 麻布大学
 It's one of the oldest veterinary school in Japan that can accept 150 students per batch.

 To be honest with you, this was taken on the last day of us in Azabu University. *sob sob*

I cycle to Azabu University. Thanks to Kene-san and her friend who borrowed her bicycle to me. and I'm sucks in cycling. So, I only cycle at night, and in the morning when there is not much cars and walking passengers. God bless I didn't knock anyone down. hahaha. I blame my poor cycling skill on my pair of short legs and big ears that doesn't contribute much on my balancing.

 This is Sandy on her host's bicycle cycling in Azabu University compound area.


Hiroko chan, Sandy, me, and Kiriko chan

I was wearing Baju Kebaya on that day because we planned to go Asian Night held in Tokyo, but ended up not going. But I'm glad I wore it on that day, so, I can take a pretty picture with Kiriko chan. Unlike the picture below that we make funny face. hahahha

 Handprints that have bacteria on. Seriously. we look funny la, Sandy!

 Alex sensei brings us out for lunch. Sensei asked, what to eat..
we answered, japanese food would be good!!
 Meet Alex sensei! The one on the left without spec. He is a very friendly and humorous sensei. No matter how clumsy we were, he still teach us step by step very patiently. and he likes to explain. That include theory of the experiment to how's the food is cooked and the meaning of some nihongo words and everything.
Another cool thing about him is he can speak Portuguese!! oh man~~ English, portuguese and nihongo. cool.

Kotoyo chan is a very cool third grade student. Hip-Hop that kind of cool. It wouldn't be weird if we suddenly hear her rapping. (That's just sandy and my imagination.. sometime our imagination goes wild hahaha)
滑滑Hiroko chan, 篠原san and kene chan.
we always follow hiroko chan around for her project. One touching thing is they purposely made a english version of step by step of some procedure for us. We are really surprised that they would do this for us.
ありがとう ございます
In the public health lab, we talk to almost everyone and most of them talk to us, ask us about Malaysia. Everyday, the lab is full of laughter (not in the experiment room, but at the student corner. We are glad that shino san is with us during the practical week. He is like big brother over there, teaches and helps us a lot.
Kene san is the a member of JVSA (Japan Veterinary Student Association), she is the one working behind helping us to come to Azabu University. Thank you so much~~

They even celebrate Sandy's birthday. At first, I was planning to say it out during Asian night, then have everyone sing a birthday song to Sandy (since I have pass her her birthday present hahaha).

Surprisingly, they celebrate her birthday! (a day later, but still counts! What a touching moment.) to make it less romantic and less touching, I realised about it when I was heading to toilet and I saw them with a birthday cake. I was so blur that I thought, must be a birthday of some member in public health lab. hahahaha.



Taaadaaaa..
 actually the first day in lab, sandy wore contact lens but then because of we are so near to the flame, so Sandy very kiasi-ly (scared of dying) switched back to wearing spec.
WHAT IF THE CONTACT LENS MELT IN MY EYES 

so, she wears spec during this 3 weeks practical.

 I never noticed it until I want to blog about it... There are 2 big candles and 5 small candles.. so, Sandy is older than me!!!! hahahaha..  (FYI, sandy is 23 years old this year.)

Sandy felt touched, definitely...

That bunch of public health tomodachi..
 and that card that we did for them.
The badge they were holding is the badge that made under Zoologico Club in UPM. Really hope they like it. and we pin up a memo to make it even more special.

Pretty le~~~ my Yukata sensei..
I see her like a 小女人 (feminine girl) that I feel like I wanna protect her. (I said it like I'm very strong hahahaha)

The first time we wear Yukata, it took us 2 hours... and this time, with sensei and personal tuorial!!!!! it only takes half an hour!! sugoi!
And this ribbon is tied our own one!!!
 Cute not??
(you properly noticed the slippers... Just ignored it. hahaha. we wear this slippers when we are in the lab. No outside shoes allowed to prevent contamination and also for the sake of biosecurity)

 Sandy with her sensei.. Hiroko chan...  Sandy didn't take off her jeans, so it makes her look fatter in here.
 So pretty~~
The picture of us to end this public health post. I wish I can continue write about the friends we met in Azabu university, but my brain is telling me, time to off laptop. I think that's all first. Will continue blog about others.

Because I wish not forget.
