Watashi no Nihongo taihen hetana....
25th July 2005, Monday
25 more days to my Japan trip...
The final week of July and it definitely seemed to me as the longest month in a rapidly-moving year of 2005..
Dialled to the Mori household last evening at around 9 pm (supposedly to be 10pm in Iwate,Japan).
I assumed that it would be high time Hiroki would be around after no joy of contacting him via his home number earlier in the afternoon.
However little that I realise my "happening" former host would be partying till wee hours on a Sunday evening, the day preceding a new work week..
Oka-san picked up the call and after made known to her who I am, she urgently handed over to Oto-san who was by the side.
The latter supposedly a government clerk in a neighbourhood hospital tried to struck a conversation with me as I briefed him on my schedule from Tokyo to Morioka next month...
Generally he got down the important information about my arrival train and time as well as the date we would be lodging with them..
However as we delved further into the conversation, he told me something about "sharing a same room" but I don't know with who..so I just replied in a hush, "Hai, wakrimashita" or "daijyobu"...
I also wanted to let him know I had actually sent an e-mail to Hiroki last week but he had yet to reply me but that piece of information wasn;t relayed too well...
Nonetheless it would always be reassuring for the head of the household to welcome you over with hospitality...
But surely I would be in dire needs to brush up whatever Japanese conversational skill I had residing within me...
Back to work, a pretty sombre day to just do some usual Monday schedule and I had a few administrative stuffs to do for my trip as well...
Seems like BY had taken leave to attend a job interview she had informed me earlier in the month, and it's highly probable she would get it with her confidence and finesse in putting herself over (in which is sort of lacking in the other 2)..I think the most probable stumbling block would be the pay which I highly doubt they would actually raise the bar to 3K a month for a diploma-holding personel..well hope I'm wrong.
Back on the domestic front, Sis came back from her short Kuantan trip... she sure is having the time of her life with a few trips overseas this past year...
Meanwhile the crisis within my lass' household seems to escalate a little as I called her to bid good night yesterday, she lied that she was at home when it was apparent she was outside.
And it seemed she had followed her mom and brother to search for his father whom had not been home a while now.
I know she would mutilate me like what Hannibal Lector would do if she found out I'm disclosing this here but I am really concerned about her well-being as her family really meant the world to her...
Well it seemed fine when I called her a while ago, so at least my worries had been alleviated, but for the time being I guess.
