Recently I got to know a friend who came from Kobe, Japan!! Well, for some reason, I was ecstatic! Cos he's the very first Japanese that I got comfortable speaking to (in half Japanese and half English, either way broken :S) His name is Yasu Hiro (康弘) and he's a year 6 medicine student in Kobe University!
Last Saturday, a few of my medicine friends gave him a short tour in Singapore. Although my Microbiology and Pharmacology notes were "tempting" me not to since I have 2 CAs going on the following monday and wednesday, I went ahead!
We went trekking at this beautiful bridge that is actually built based on a mathematical equation called the at Mount Faber. I felt like a tourist once again after 8 years of stay in Singapore!
Along the way, I chatted with him. Oh man, I must say that the joy of speaking Japanese language that I have been studying for the past 1 and a half years to a native Japanese without the fear of being laughed at is simply wonderful! I can finally apply what I have studied! I feel so blessed!
After the trek we had lunch over at Vivocity. Then off we went to the Singapore Museum after much discussion.
At night we had Lerk Thai and I think we laughed more than we ate :S
Having been stuck in University for the past few months (except for Sunday to attend church), such outing is rare and with Yasu's presence, it made this trip possible. Thank God for his presence :D He really made my day!
