Holiday~ 休み～ Yasumi~

Okay, in this entry, I just would like to share about how holiday system works here in Rikkyo.. Well, since I'm from a tropical country, there's no specific season that we, Malaysian, can refer to when determining our university or school holiday.. For example, for university in Malaysia, it's holiday is somewhere around November until late December and after the second semester, it will be from end of April to end of July..

In Rikkyo university, for now, I've enjoyed 2 holidays and about to enjoy one more long holiday (I'm still shocked though.. just found out a few weeks before).. As from September, there was Fall holiday (秋休み-aki yasumi), started from 28th October to 4th November, quite a short holiday for me.. Then comes Winter holiday (冬休み-fuyu yasumi), started from 22nd December until 10th January.. It was a very enjoyable holiday for me because I went for a tour with my Malaysian friend around Tokyo.. We bought JR ticket that can be used for the whole day.. So, we used Yamanote Line.. From Ikebukuro to Shinjuku, Shibuya, Tokyo Tower, Akihabara and then back to Ikebukuro~ 楽しかった！

After winter holiday, it was time to sit for exams, pass written report and do presentation. I did Japanese grammar and writing composition exams then went for an interview with my sensei. Then, comes the presentation for a seminar class. I presented about Kanji. My last exam will be on 26th January, then the Spring holiday (holiday again??) will start until April.. Huhu..

At first, I didn't realise the holiday system worked that way but when my Japanese friend confirmed it, it was quite hard to accept at first... Well, it's a holiday! I should enjoy it! Hehe.. but the negative side for me is I don't have any plans yet for the long holiday - -"

Baito! :D

But one thing for sure, I'm pretty certain now, I can 'survive' the winter because it's holiday! haha! Winter is not fun for me.. Looking forward to it at first because I never experienced it but later, I just wish I'm back in Malaysia.. Winter in Tokyo is very dry, so, had to apply lotion and lip balm constantly.. And you can imagine how difficult it is to wake up in the morning.. Just wish I can continue my sleep inside my warm fleece blanket.. Hehe..

That's about it for this time, oh, I almost forgot, would like say thank you for two of my blog readers, Farez Syinon and Halissa Hilmy for contacting me through e-mail.. Just feel free to ask me anything ya guys! ^^V
