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.. :)

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
