ive not updated in such a long time.

i just made an order for a Dell XPS 8000 computer today. i really need a new computer!! the sound for this computer has died last week. this computer is almost 6 years old!! it is dying a slow death. but it has managed to last so long haha. i will miss it!

well, but i really need sound!!!! so it has to go. my dad is subsidising my purchase by 800, i have to fork out the rest myself.

I AM SO BROKE!!!

BROKE!
BROKE!
BROKE!

seriously i don't think there's anyone more broke than me right now.

my hair looks like a light pinkish copper now. it's no longer pink, not exactly peach, it has a rustic dimension (this doesn't sound quite right but i can't find the right words) to it. it's like, a slightly metallic salmon colour, if that makes any sense.

anyway i hope to be able to earn lots of money in future, so that my dad can retire! i won't be able to reach his income level for at quite a number of years, probably many years, but i hope he can retire soon because i think his job as an engineer is not the safest :(

anyway ive been running over 2.8km twice a week for the past two weeks. im hoping to lose some weight, im a big blob of flabby fat!

anyway here are some of my pictures from japan! haha im copying sherlene, whatever! my face looks so fat in some of them!!!! X____X my face isn't so fat in real life as you can see in my videos, i think the picture is distorted X____X it looks especially fat in verticle pictures. will post some more another day. i like my pictures in my mom's camera! i don't have them with me now though.

this is at shirakawa go, the village featured in that weird anime where there are parallel time lines and weird murders. i dunno it's name.






here's hirayu. it's a beautiful onsen village, one of the five oku hida villages. more pictures another day.



the waterfall is its main attraction. people visit this place more for the onsen. and there's also a turtle research facility at the end of the village!! it was pretty surprising! visitors can walk in and enter the section where they keep the turtles. the turtles look pretty scary though! and there's warning signs not to put your hand into their enclosures cuz the turtles can bite.






they are freaky!!

and here's murodou, one of the peaks in the mt tateyama-kurobe dam alpine route. it's 2450m above sea level and very very very cold (around 5 degrees celcius in the day, i think it drops to below 0 at night) during bad weather in summer! and extremely foggy sometimes too! the moment we arrived there, you totally cannot see the lodge although it's only a few hundred metres away. you have to find your way by following the poles stuck into the ground, and you can only see a maximum of 2 poles in front of you, probably about 10 metres away. but the weather cleared up on the 3rd day there and it was very clear and not so cold anymore.








and at a train station in shinano omachi, just a transit point for us.


ok byebye!!
i really need to study and i cannot seem to concentrate! my mind is floating somewhere else.

my computer will arrive in a week hopefully! i can't watch any video till then.
