Here I found an interesting article on the internet. This article is about history text in China. Sorry that this webpage is not written in English, but I thought its interesting and want you guys to read. http://cnn.co.jp/world/CNN200504180011.html

Hi. How are you doing?
I was very tired bcoz of the 2nd moth's attack lastnite. I stayed awake till 4 and went to bed and closed my eyes. Then....something rustled! and.... IT started humming and flying!! I could hear the yucky sound even I covered my ears with a branket, so IT must be big one. I couldnt slip out of my bed because of fear. So.... I was in my blanket suffering CO2 which I emitted. I got dizzy because of my CO2! How ridiculous!! Ugh!!! How long did I wait??.... finally morning came! It was around 6. I moved slowly.. slowly.. from the bed and grabbed my blanket, mobile and stuffed animals(its funny, isnt it? I understood why ppl who escape from disaster do some silly things!), then escaped from my room!! Why should I escape from my room!??? Its my room!! but I couldnt complain... I was just afraid of the moth. I decided to sleep in the living room. Needless to say, my housemates were surprised to see me sleeping in the living room!! haha.. I don know where IT is now. Maybe went out from my room, or still in my room?? My room is quiet now... jst like it was lastnite.. Im still scared of IT.

Hey hey heeeyyyy!!! Im back from the ball!! Let me tell ya guys bout tha ball!!! It was goooorgeous!!!! Everyone dressed up.... I wore a black one-piece dress with light blue shawl, and pearl earrings and necklace. I put lame and a pink flower on my hair. How does it sound?? Nice :)? or... :( The ball was like a dream...pretty gals(xcluding me!! haha) and cool guys, delicious dinner, Singaporean entertainers, luxurious hotel..... sooooo nice!!!! and guess wat!?? Tha dessert was chocolate cake******* ohhhhhh such a nice dinner.. I knew nothing about table manner, though! Somehow I could finish the dinner without any problems. My friend from KGU and I were only Japanese there coz tha ball was presented by Singaporean Student Assosiation. Fortunately most of my friends are the members of SSA, and we could go to the ball in reduced price (originally reduced for SSA members). After the dinner, we went a bar at the hotel. It was like clubbing...like we often do on almost every Friday nite. Drink and dance!! Soooo Im not sure if I will go clubbing tomorrow. I still have some assignments..
Thatz all for tonite! Talk to ya soon...hopefully!

Hi again.
I found that Chinese embassies in Japan were harassed by Japanese people. Same things have occured when Japanese people rose their hostility against North Korea. What on earth are they doing? Why did they do such things?? Thats not what we should do now. It only causes additional hostility against Japan.... Hostility cant solve problem. Hostility only causes another hostility. Don they know that!??? How stupid they are!!!! and how woeful.....It disgusts me a lot.

Hi.
Now I was so upset to find a news on Yahoo Japan...... It says that Korean people in fishery are trying to keep out Japanese words like sashimi or wasabi. Not only people in China but also in other countries like HK(can I distiguish HK as a country???) and Vietnam boycott Japan.... Japanese people dont hate these people, but they hate Japanese.. so sad.....
6o years ago, 2 atomic bombs were dropped on 2 cities of Japan. It was planned and dropped by the US, but Ive never had a grudge against American people.. even I know how beneficial for the then American exective people to drop atomic bombs. I learned many reasons why the bombs should be dropped on Japan in 'Peace, Conflict and Human rights' class in my home uni. They, I mean the reasons, were very self-centred... and the Dr. in the class said that not only the students in the US, but in other countries, were given little(not 'a little') education about peace. Japan still have some scars of war, but no hostility against former enemies...

Hello guys. I got my 1st journal back today. This journal is for tourism class. and...Yahoo! I got a 'High Distinction'! Im sooooo happy coz I thought Iwould get a 'Pass'. Anyway anyway, I have to study harder to get good marks! This result might be just luckey thing...

Hi everyone.
I jus checked Scott's blog about China and lavor in sweatshops. Like him, I also feel some kind of guilty to lavors under bad working condition in many Asian countries. We tend to buy cheap stuffs from these countries, then business managers or employers expand their sweatshops or make their employees' working condition worse....to keep exporting cheap stuffs to Japan. Also he mentioned about recent Chinese resistance movement. We are too unlearned in this matter....I felt shamed when I noticed it. I didnt know why Chinese people got angry about visiting Yasukuni-shrine. We should have been given more education about modern and contemporary matter in this world.
I live in Student Village in Perth, you know, and there are many international students here. Of course there are students from so-colled 'poor' countries. You, i mean Scott's ex/present students, know where they are. I realized I had drawn a line between rich countries and poor countries, and thought people in poor countries were a sorry people.....what a shame!! It is important to know which country is developed or less developed(/rich or poor) when people learn global issues, but don misunderstand about poor countries. Scott's students who are studying global issues now, don be stereotyped about the word 'poor'.

Hey guys, how goezit?? Im jus back from the sports centre where I was watching indoor soccer games.
I went to Perth city to get some of my friends' BD presents today. I wanted to give them Japanese things, but Im in Perth and cant buy things in Japan now....so maybe nxt year!! Also my friend and I went to karaoke!! My first time to sing in Australia! My singing is not good but I love singing! Its friday tmr, but Im not sure if we are gonna go to da club..coz most of my friends and I have to finish assignments. Go to clubs is not special thing here...esp among Western ppl!! and I also enjoy going such places! Recently I like music played @ clubs. Anyway if my friends will go to the club, I have to study @ library till we leave...
Do you guys remember that I wrote about the ball?? Its on 21st. I have a dress but still have to buy shawl. Its getting cold esp at nite, so I need it! I will paint my nails and put 3D art on my nails on the day b4 the ball. My first (and perhaps last) ball!!
Okay Iwill stop here tonite to start studying.

Hello guys. I'm in my room and eating Oz sweets--Lamington. Its a small sponge cake coated with chocolate and coconut. One of my Aussie friends brought a package of lamington yesterday. We had them with caramel tea...hmmmm sooo nice.. then I thought I would share the rest pieces of lamington with my housemates, but I nearly finish them!! Theres only one piece of lamington left...!! Ohhh gosh whata greedy gal I am!!! I have 5 housemates, so I cant share the one.....all I can do is...to finish it by myself!!
I love barley tea, you know, but all kinds of tea sold here are sweet!! Even green tea is sweet.... I bought tea bags of barley tea @ Japanese grocery near my flat, and making barley tea for myself! I will do it later coz my barley tea will be out of stock tonite. Its troublesome but healthier than drinking coke, huh?? TimTam+coke=shortcut to becoming piggy. Of course not I can give up TimTam, so I drink barley tea. It is balanced! ....Maybe!!
Okay Iwill stop here today. I have to finish making barley tea till 8:40 coz my friend and I will go to the sports centre to cheer my friends who will play basketball @9:oo. Wednesday nite=basketball, Thursdaynite=indoor soocer! Hmmmm If I played in these teams, I could avoid being piggy.....
Anyway anyway! CU guys! Im happy coz you guys often left comments recently!! Really!!!

Hi again. Im back from my friends place. I cooked my dinner after I finished writing blog, but suddenly a huge moth came!!! He was so aggressive and tried to fly @ me!!! NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!(ToT) SOOOO HORRIBLE!!!!!! I nearly died!!!!!!!! What I hate the most about Aus is insects!!!! Oh I should say dats the only thing I hate about Aus!! Except for bugz, I love Aus!!!! I cant explain how disgusting they are....... Actually the one (huge moth) is still in the kitchen, near the sink, so I still leave my dish and folk in the sink. I cant approach, so I cant wash!! I will ask someone to let him out... I feel like crying now.......Help me.

Hi mate. Im in my room and have nothing to do but studying again...

Oh let me tell you bout 'Big Issue'. I wrote about it in this season last year. Some of my friends bought the magazine and I thought it was kinda successful business.. Then I saw people selling 'Big Issue' in Aus too. It was A$4(≒¥360). But as long as I was watchin no one bought da magazine....I was shocked. I think i will buy it nxt time.
Also, havu ever thought bout animal rights? I tried to write a research paper about it in the end of my 1st year @KGU, but it was too hard for me to keep workin on such cruel issues...and I changed the topic. but if youre interested in, visit http://www.arcj.info/ (Japanese) or http://www.arcj.info/eg/arcindex.htm (English). I want as many ppl as possible to know da fact---This is what WE are doing.

Ohhhhhhhhhh my housemate is cooking dinner and smells soooooo nice!! It makes my stomac sing...!!! Birds outside are also singing....no, more like screaming! There are beautiful birds here, but strange ones too!!

I will finish blogging and go to da kitchen to cook. (Listen, I said 'cook' !! Even I cant cook, I have to cook!) I was given some slices of chocolate cake from my friend today---maybe for dessert!! Woooohoooooo!!!!

Hellow world! Im back from Freo. I stayed @da hostel for backpackers and it was fun!! fun fun!! The room in da hostel was for 8 people!! Doesnt it sound something exciting!?? It reminded me of my school trip when I was in school (I mean elementaly, juniorhigh and high, not uni). One of my friends and I were exchanging languages last nite. She was interested in Japanese, so I taught her some Japanese words and she taught me some Makedonian words instead. Naturally Japanese is difficult to pronounce for Non-Japanese people, but she was really good at copying my pronunciation!! She must be talented! Language is interesting!!

Im back from the city now. I had a tuna-don @the Japanese restaurant. I was @the shopping mall b4 I went to the city. I was looking for a wine @the woolies. I couldnt drink wine but recently I found a good one and am interested in wine now. But I can drink white ones only.. anyway I found new interest, so Im kinda excited! Hmm....I have a hospitality class tomorrow and its a morning class, so I should stop blogging here and start preparing for the lesson. I pretend to be a good student! haha.. Oh and I wil go to Freo (a harbor town named Fremantle) with my sharemates and some other friends on Fri. We will stay @hostel togrther! Sounds fun, doesnt it??
Bye fellow friends! Hope to have your comment on my blog.

Hey guys, how are you all?? I heard it was hot today, and also it was hot in Australia. Autumn has already come, but still we have hot days here.

Heeeey Saki-chan, its piggy-Uka!! I always eat TimTam here,excluding today!! Its bcoz I ate rest of my TimTam which had been stored in my fridge yesterday!! So.... I have to go to the shopping mall to get SOME packages of TimTam tomorrow! Hmmmm I think I should go on a diet till you cum back from the US. I cant stop eating TimTam anyway!! Woohoo!!^^

Hellow Scott! It was good to have a comment from you!! Yep I really enjoy my life here, but also have been losing my confidence since I came here. Its natural to speak and listen in english here, so I have a kinda difficulty. But still have fun and hope to recover my confidence as time goes by.... Also as you said, I have a thick texts for just one semester!! My text for tourism class is thicker than "Global Issues"!! No way!! Btw, how did you put pics on your blogs?? I wanna put some pics on my blog, but not sure how to do that.. I took a photo of kangaroo which was lying just behind of my flat. They are cute but look like big rabbit or deer.

And Bernat, thank you for you to read my blogs and made comments on them. It was enjoyable to read your comments.

I didnt have class today so I had a lazy day.......but I went to the uni gym to cheer some of my friends who were playing basketball. It was fun to watch sports!! But you know, I am not good at playing sports...Im not sporty. I wish i were sporty!!

Oops, I should say that I got a mobile here! I said i would not have it once, but I got it! However mobiles here are not so good like Japanese ones... My mobile in Japan was only ¥7000, but my mobile here was A$99=apx¥8900, more expencive than japanese one. In spite of the price, quality of Japanese mobile is much better than Oz one.... not fair!! I miss my Japanese mobile!!! But I dont depend on my mobile too much here, I depend on my PC instead!! So if some of you have MSN messenger, let me know! Lets have a chat!!

Hmm... I will stop here coz my friends and I will go to one of our friend's place to eat late huge Easter Egg which he got in reduced price. Heheee

Bye!
