I'm back! ただいま! Tadaima!

Good morning from Malaysia!

Arrived here on Sunday, 20th March from Narita via Changi.. Everything was so last minute and I still can't believe I'm in my home.. There was no plan to go back but since my family insisted, I just had to go back..

Preparation to go back was so tiring that I'm still tired now.. Had to apply for the Re-entry permit (再入国許可 Sainyuukoku Kyoka) and queued for 8hours in the cold.. But I was made to come back the other day because of the planned blackouts..

Bought my flight ticket on Thursday and it was the cheapest (64,440 yen) using Singapore Airlines.. Arrived at Changi Airport at around 4.10am and boarded connecting flight to Kuala Lumpur at 8.35am..

I will tell more about it later.. That's it for now :D

Snowing 雪が降ってきた Yuki ga Futtekita

I'm still facing the internet connection problem in my room.. - - So, I will call the ISP again as soon as I can. Before this, I thought there was something wrong with my laptop but there's nothing wrong with it because now I'm using it in the Main Library in Ikebukuro and it works fine with the library's LAN..

Back to the main topic, I saw the weather forecast yesterday that there will be scattered flurries today but didn't have high expectation.. Well, just glad it snow again but I don't really like the cold.. Hehe..

Woke up early to go to Sunshine City with a friend to find a gift for my sensei.. Took us 2 hours to decide on what we want to buy and went to a convenience store and bought a bowl of instant soba (with tempura) for lunch,

Lately, the temperature difference is kind of too much for me because yesterday was not that cold (around 16'C during the day) but today, temperature suddenly drop to around 4'C.. Hmm.. I hope I will not be sick.. :)

Internet connection インターネット接続 Intaanetto Setsuzoku

It`s frustrating when one can`t have a smooth internet connection.. Yup.. That`s me.. The problem started from Sunday.. I can still access the internet but the connection will always cut off suddenly and the worst part for me is I can`t tweet! - -"

Been an active user of Tweeter since a few months back, the unability to tweet is kind of nerve wrecking.. You see, I can view Twitter and the tweets from other people is up-to-date but when I tried to tweet, it just went grey for a long time..

Called my ISP yesterday.. They said I`ve used too much bandwidth (they said the bandwidth limit is 100GB).. Yup, that`s right.. They said it will take some time to recover..

Since it`s spring holiday and I can`t afford to go anywhere, I just stay in my room and surf the net.. Well, of course, not all the time but when I did surf, I usually will watch some movies (online streaming).. I admit it`s my bad but I still find it unfair to punish me with a very unstable connection.. Unlike in Malaysia, where the bandwidth limit is just 20GB (for P1 Wimax) per month and after exceeding the limit, user will have to surf with a reduced connection speed.

Now I`m typing this entry in Niiza Campus Library.. I just hope the connection will be normal again.. :)
