i know this place from books and magazines
its very close to the time square
small but cozy
however
i am disappointed by its coffee

the monster, designed by mr mak
(i forced him to draw, see left)

the stamp is a gift i made him

my japanese 先生 (teacher) is always late for 15 mins leaving one hour left for the lesson while we dont have much practice during class.

i am pushing myself to learn japanese seriously.

spent an afternoon to browse online to see if there is any recommeneded japanese self learning kit or books.

and here is my findings:

1. a japanese-chinese/english dictionary

2. 日本漢字讀音詞典, by commerical press

it is all sold out everywhere but it is still available in amazon.cn. though its in simplified chinese but it is useful when you come across 漢字 in japanese.

3. 大家的日本語

I also ordered some other books which i found useful.

There are 2 good sites:

i spent some mornings and afternoons to get my closet all tidy up.

it is really tiring.

to get all the winter clothes and blanket all cleaned up and packed.

its been a long day for me.
today i got up very early and got prepared to go to my aunt's home as i had to be a good nurse - bring my aunt to the eye hospital.

she was so hyper today and glad that her eyes are more stable. i will be her nurse again next week.

its always nice to hang out with her. we can still act like a kid to chit chat and fool around.

though i cant see his mouth

haha

of not studying..
