tuesday cd

Got up around8 and hopped in the shower. It was already 9 am when I left home. I was hoping that they were late but they were there sitting on the bench already. I said hi and asked if they want tea but there was no tea made. Mr S came 2 minutes after I got there. I was glad that I got there before him. He asked me if I showed them my work. I said that I didn’t bring my laptop. He said that I should go and get it cause they were looking forward to seeing it. I said that I’ll be back in 5 minutes but I knew it would take longer than that. went to 7 eleven to buy a bottle of tea. Then went back home to grab my computer
Went to the bakery to get some cake. They didn’t have the one I often buy so I bought two little ones. Rushed to get back there. Set up my laptop, cake and tea. I was while doing it. Cha came around 10am. He didn’t know that we were having a guest there. They knew each other and talking in Japanese and Chinese mixed. They stayed more than two hours. They asked me to have lunch with them but it was wonton? Which has meat only so I said I couldn’t. They were surprised that I don’t eat meat because it’s so unusual for Japanese.
Sue came a bit after they left. She started to cook. Cha was cooking too. There were too many to be if I was there so I decided to let them cook. I had noticed that everybody was writing their names on this fruit. I found one which didn’t have name on it so I thought that would be mine. Everybody used a pen but I wanted to have it like some expensive apples which has “ good luck” sort of writing. They use sticker while it’s still green and when it changes its color, the writing bit is still the color before. I found a tape to do it.
Sue left after lunch.
The guy came to paint. He is so keen. He is painting here almost everyday.
Old guy dropped in. he had hearing problem and hard to have a conversation. He sang this army song in Japanese. I said sorry to him although he couldn’t hear.
Went home before 3pm. Talked to students a bit. Their exam is coming up soon. I had to buy CD for my photos. Decided to go to a supermarket to get some ingredients for dinner first and find a shop for CD on the way back but I found CD rom in the supermarket. Wanted to buy some for dishwashing too. something I can contribute. Found potable chopsticks as well. This is very cool, they get longer when you need to use them ad you can make them short to carry them. Had some Japanese writing on it but I would be the only one who has them in Japan.
Went back to the camp and cooked. Cha came back from Japanese class. Sue came back in good timing but she said that she doesn’t eat anything with ketchup and she cooked her own dish. I made this called “omerice” it’s omelet on rice sort of. Very popular in Japan. I burned the source and rice was uncooked but still edible.
Sue left soon after the dinner.
Ah came. I offered the “Genji pai” I bought and he had one. He is getting used to me a bit.
I told cha that I would go home and pick up 100 photos. He told me to get to his house at 9pm. I wasn’t sure if I would get it done by that. had to call him to tell him that I was 30 minutes late.
It wasn’t as easy as he thought to make them square. He had to call Sil to find out the best way. He didn’t have credit on his mobile and had to ask her to call him using my mobile. She was laughing. He said that they can do it for me. I thought it’s a bit too much to ask.
We were talking long and it was already after 11pm. On the way home I didn’t see many people but some shops were still open. I thought it’s a bit funny. Going home after 11:30 was quite late since I came here but I would do that often in Melbourne.
