Iwashi-gumo

This picture was taken a while ago, when Makii and I went home together. She noticed the cloud in the sky and told me that it was iwashi-gumo, a cloud that tell you it will be snowing the next day. The shape of the cloud is similar to the tail fin of sardine (iwashi), and that's where the name comes from. Anyway, it was snowing hard the next day... :-)

Boys in Game Center

It was the second time I played this drum game (I forget the name), and even though my rhythm still bad, it did improve a load (the first time I played it was so bad that Yanagita chose Doraemon song for me, hoping I can easily match the beat - and I still missed some hits :-) ).

This time I went with Shuu, Nina, and Dito (double date? :-) ) after we had dinner in Shibuya. And like 'standard date' in game center, it was closed with taking pics at purikura. There was time that Nina and Dito went to the restroom leaving Shuu and me near the purikura machine, made us felt uncomfortable 'cause purikura is identical with girls, and it's quite peculiar to see two boys only hanging out there... :-)

Cotton Candy Project

Rachma just bought a cotton candy maker (it's actually a toy for kids) and she asked me to help her making the candy from it. It was fun, however, since it intended for kids, it can't produce much. Ninin joined later and we had a small cotton candy party.
Anyway, I won't buy my kids (if I have :-) ) that toy, for it consumes lots of electricity. I think I can found less-energy-consuming-way (why do I sound so 'textbookish'?) to make cotton candy...

Transparent Body

This picture was taken by Eden when we went to Odaiba. If you watch it closely, you will notice that my body is transparent in the picture. Eden said that the picture was a fail shot, since her camera already caught some light before my body come into view. Anyway, it resulted in cool picture, and I can brag to anyone, "Can you make your body transparent like this?" :-)

Glowing

Taken and photoshoped by Eden. I would like to put it on my profile, but I still don't have the 'feel' to do it (and have plenty of 'feel' to write this entry? :-) ). Anyway, I still like the picture in my profile, so may be I'll change it later...

The picture was taken on the highest building in Ikebukuro... It was Saturday night and the view was so great (romantic, may be? :-) ) that a lot of couples came... a little bit embarrassed... Anyway, we could act as if we were couple if we wanted to... :-)

Sleeping Traveler

Rachma was about to return to Indonesia to do survey, and since she'd been busy around the day of departure, she ended up packing the night before the flight day. Rachma wanted me to reinstall her computer, so I stay at her place that night. She lived in girl dormitory, and that was the first time I sleep at girl dormitory :-). Lucky that Ninin lived next door, so we didn't have to spend the night together in one room :-). Rachma slept almost all the way to Narita, and thus it was left to Ninin and I to keep us not to miss the station...

100 yen Shoes

There was a flea market in Koudaisai (TITech festival), and I went there without any intention of buying something - just escorting Yoshirin and Aki who were in the mood to do shopping. Out of the blue on of the seller looked at my feet and asked, "what is your feet size?"
"28" (Japanese shoes are measured in cm)
He grabbed one pairs of shoes and hand it to me.
"Try it. If it fits you, you can get it for free."
I was quite puzzled, but I tried the shoes anyway. It was a little bit large, but it suited me well.
The guy looked happy. "You can have it then"
It was a good shoes and it felt not right if I just took it like that, specially remembering that the guy was there to sell thing.
"C'mon, I can't take it just like that. Let me buy it"
The guy paused for few seconds before replying, "Okay, here is the deal. Can you do rock-scissor-paper? Lets play it. If I win you have to pay the shoes for 100 yen. If you win, you can take it free"
Seems like a good deal, so we did it - and he won.
Anyway, it was indeed a good shoes, and it's still a good deal even if I had to pay for it.
(And come to realize it, there's good person and luck waiting for you almost everywhere...:-) )
