KIT-IJST '10 6th Week [Farewell Party]

Saturday, July 17, 2010

Another Saturday. But this is not a regular Saturday. There would be the farewell party for all KIT-IJST 2010 participants in the Platz. The host families should be coming to celebrate it with their ‘anak2 angkat’, unfortunately my host family couldn’t make it. Kidoguchi-san had an important matter to attend, leaving me and Diya alone during the party. Oh, not really alone since Tim’s and Taylor’s weren’t coming as well. But, theirs actually came during the 2nd half of the party.  Diya and I were definitely the unfortunate ones (T___T).
Earlier, I saw John, wearing a samue (a gift from his host family), cycled really fast towards Nishikawa Heights. I guessed he forgot to bring something important since he didn’t even notice me several feet away. It was really funny to see him like that; it’s difficult to have John in a messed up situation because he always appears calm and confident. Ugh, obnoxious John! (that’s what we teasingly called him – and he didn’t mind at all :p). Sam noticed my new belt bought at FashionShop, she really liked it and ‘marah2’ since I didn’t bring her along during the shopping trip. Of course lahhh, she left us first for Osaka (the long weekend)! It’s Osaka, babe! You won, girl~

During the party, Fudano-sensei gave a speech as the program director. Then, the SGE leader – oh, I forgot his name!! Never mind that.  A dedication video session from us participants to the host families was shown later. My clip was really embarrassing! Tim and SGE kids urged me to watch it, but I only dared to take a peep. Seriously, I should’ve made a new one! It’s kinda sad to see the host families chatted away with the students, knowing well that they won’t see each other again in the near future. I suddenly missed Obaa-chan, she’s such a nice old lady, trying to humor us with some Japanese jokes. Mama, a hardworking mother, did her best to please us. Kidoguchi-san, a very nice family guy, showed his best sides to his own family and us. The kids (Takeshi-kun, Atsushi-kun, Mami-chan), very active and joyous, dragged us along to play Wii, card games, and such, all the while trying to interact in broken English. Don’t worry kids, my Japanese is bad too!
Adorable senseis, SGE kids in the b/g
Since Diya and I didn’t have a host family that day, we got a table for ourselves – plus a full tray of sushi and cookies. Some SGE kids ‘stole’ the sushi from us, but it’s forgivable since they were the ones who bought them in the first place (^.^) I just found out that Natchan (a brand of orange juice) is really good! I never really tried it before – too occupied with Van Houten Cocoa – so I was really amazed. It made me wonder, what else did I forget to try? I only had several weeks left in Japan!! (@__@) Before the part ended, all of us received an orange T-shirt from SGE. They wrote our name on them using permanent marker! Yoshiyuki-kun gave mine to me, he’s such an adorable dimpled boy :p Fuji-sensei, Fudano-sensei, Suda-sensei, and Komori-san also wrote down on my T-shirt. I won't wear this T-shirt ever, in case the markers washed out.
looks so yummy, right?

After everything was over, Diya and I went to Nonoichi again. Diya really3x liked the FashionShop so we headed there first. I think she got a few of new apparels, while I got myself a new pair of pants. I spent too much on apparels already (T___T). Then, Maruei grocery store! A heaven of food for me. I got myself grilled octopus, buns, and all those 
good stuff!
