Potluck Party ポットラックパーティー

Went for potluck party yesterday at my friend's house in Toda Koen (戸田公園).. I cooked 'Nasi goreng Cina' or in English fried rice (Chinese style) for the party.. Since I didn't have any large container, carried my rice cooker all the way from Shiki to the party.. :)

Other than fried rice, there's salad with sesame oil, hash browns, fried chicken, Indonesian cuisine called Soto Ayam, sushi and takoyaki.. Green tea, apple and orang juice, some alcoholic drinks (just to name a few, didn't drink any alcoholic drink (of course! haha)) My rice cooker is the white one,

While eating, we watched TV (Japanese prank show).. Japanese prank is the best.. ^^V

Then, suddenly, someone turned off the light and everyone sang the birthday song.. I'm surprised.. Yeah, my friend said the party is some kind of party to celebrate my friend, Rima and my birthday but didn't expect any cake!

Thanks to my friend's mom for the home-made cake!:)

It's a Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) review book! and it's for the highest level, N1.. The title of the book reads 新完全マスター漢字:日本語能力試験N1 (Shinkanzen Masuta Kanji: Nihongo Nouryoku Shiken N1)..Thanks a lot to Lucian and Rima.. It's a great present.. To be honest, you guys just motivated me to study hard again..

My long term goal is to pass at least N2 level for JLPT this December and my short term goal is to be placed in at least J5 level for Rikkyo's Japanese Language Placement Test in April.. はい、これから頑張ります！^^
