Were assigned to the Loans Department today. As there was some time left before work started, we were taught by Ms Nakamoto the methods of counting money. It was really interesting but difficult at the same time. What I liked most was that they have only-for-pratice-usage money. :D

Learned about many different types of loans at the Loans Department.

Lunch was tonkatsu with rice. I really love the set meals at the Shinkin Bank's staff canteen. Look at the amount of food!!! The best thing was that it only cost me 400 yen. Quality+Quantity+Cheap.

Returned to the Loans Department after lunch. Was actually a little sleepy though because we did not need to move much today. Just needed to sit down and listen to what the in-charge had to say.

Seriously tiring day.
Dinner was at Handaya again but I ate something different this time. Pork kimchi and gyoza. I've never eaten pork kimchi before in Singapore and it was really really delicious. :D

Next part of the Hiroshima Internship Programme~

2nd day of internship. Same as the day before, we were assigned to the HR department and our in-charges were Mr Nakamura and Ms Nakamoto. They treated us to Hiroshima's speciality, Okonomiyaki, for lunch. I seriously love okonomiyaki, especially the Hiroshima version. Then again, I've only eaten the try-to-imitate-Japan-but-fail-Singapore version so it's not really difficult to choose which version I like.

Ms Nakamoto, Me, Pei San, Mr Nakamura.

As the okonomiyaki was really too big for us to finish eating it (although both our in-charges managed to do so), we started to play with the thing that you are supposed to eat the okonomiyaki with. Whee~

Returned to the company's carpark after lunch and I was seriously amazed by how high-tech the carpark was. You just need to drive the car into the place as shown above and it will automatically get parked. To retrieve the car, simply key in the password or something and out it comes. So.freaking.cool.

Went to this place called Ougon San, which basically means...Golden Mountain(Huang Jin Shan)?

As Pei San's afraid of heights, she was like grabbing my hand the whole time we were up there. I, on the other hand, am afraid of walking down slopes so I was like the slowest one to descend the mountain.

Group photo~

Plus size cat. Look at it's hair/fur! So fluffy~ All the animals/pets that I saw in Japan had like damn pretty hair/fur, like as if they apply serum to them and get combed a million times per day.

Signboards in Japan are cute and sometimes funny, especially the English ones. Didnt take a photo of that though.

Pei San wanted to go to Fudoin so we got brought there.

Our in-charges were initally shocked when Pei San told them she wanted to go there because apparently, not many foreigners know about this place.

I really like how temples are really quiet and serene. :D

I've not been to Hiroshima Castle yet and really wanted to visit that place but because parking was a problem, we headed to the next destination instead.

So in the end, we went to Shukkeien.

Not many people were there that day(Of course la! It was still within working hours).

Shukkeien is a man-made garden.

I dont know how and why I went to climb onto this bridge. Although not really visible from this angle, the steps of the bridge were freaking smooth and tilted. Going up was a little difficult already...somemore had to come down. Since I'm afraid of slopes, I did the very unglam thing of removing my shoes and basically slid down the steps. If you see closely, those are my shoes at the foot of the bridge. I rock.

Dinner was at this family restaurant called Handaya. Basically, they display the different kinds of food on the shelves and in the fridge and you can pick whatever you want to eat. Like...mix-and-match? After selecting, you just need to proceed the cashier, pay up and enjoy your meal. Damn cool and not to mention...CHEAP. Really good for poor people like me.

As you can see from above, I've added links to names of shops and places of attractions so you can know more about that particular shop/place just by clicking on the link. All links are from this site. It's so freaking cool. Lots of information on Hiroshima.

Internship finally started today~!

We have to walk like 45mins(15mins for Japanese people) to the train station every day, take a train, get off and walk for like another 10mins(probably 3mins for Japanese people) to the company. As we were damn afraid that we would be late, we used to leave the training centre early in the morning. In fact, we were like always the earliest to leave and we'll reach the company like 30mins earlier. We will then kill time in the waiting room on the 5th floor.

Lunch on the first day of work! For 400 yen, you get like pork katsu curry, tea and 2 side dishes. Oh wait, there's fruit too! So worth it can! The food's really tasty too.

Spent the first half of the day learning about the history of the Shinkin Bank from Mr Nakamura. Went to the Hiroshima Peace Memorial after lunch with Mr Nakamura and Ms Nakamoto. That was like my 2nd time visiting the Peace Memorial.

This was where the bomb dropped on.

Went to a cafe in Hondoori to kill time after that because there was still lots of time left before the welcome party in the evening. Mr Nakamura and Ms Nakamoto returned to the company to prepare for the party whereas Pei San and I walked around Hondoori.

The welcome party was held at Rihga Royal Hotel.

Mr Saeki giving out nametags.

The chairman of the Hiroshima-Singapore Association(HSA), Mr Tamura, giving a speech.

Our representative, Liling then giving her speech.

Cheers~

The nine of us each received souveniers from Mr Tamura. The souveniers included a ballpoint pen and the HSA badge.

Vivien, Mr Tamura, Grace

Representatives from the Hiroshima ANA Hotel.

Representatives from JTB.

Representatives from Kinki Nippon Tourist.

Representatives from Rihga Royal Hotel

Representatives from Toppan Printing.

Representatives from Hiroshima Shinkin Bank.

2nd day of homestay. On the way to youme town, we dropped by Hiroshima University, the university where Airi's studying in. Coincidentally, Okaasan's also from there too!

Rubbish bins in the school. Throwing rubbish away in Japan is helluva troublesome because you have to throw rubbish away according to how they are categorised. Then again, it's good for the environment.

The canteen.

The campus was really spick-and-span and the buildings looked really clean on the outside...unlike the university that I study in now.

Proceeded to youme town after the short visit where we met up with Melody and her host family, Ms Oogata. As we were a little too early, we went shopping and bought the same top :D I also bought a yukata that I havent got a chance to wear yet.

After Melody and Ms Oogata arrived, we went to eat ice-cream. There were like so many different flavours to choose from la! Thanks to Ms Oogata for the treat!

After choosing for like ages, I finally decided on grape. Yummilicious~!

Me, Airi, Ms Oogata, Melody.

Poster of Aibu Saki.

Melody, Me.

Proceeded to Sakagura-dori. Apparently you can fill your water bottles up with this water. Ok, I'm not sure if it's allowed because I did not read the sign behind me but I saw some guy doing that. :D

Outside the gates of Kamotsuru.

Standing next to this thing that they steam the rice in. So freaking big.

Me, Airi.

I like the origami.

Things needed to make sake.

Sake galore~ Can drink for free somemore!

:D
It was at this place that I dropped my camera on the floor so...the lens got slanted or something. Luckily the floor was carpeted though. Went to Deo Deo to repair my camera. :(

Ate at Okonomimura for dinner and went to take neoprints after that. I've actually uploaded the neoprints in the gallery like months ago so if you want to see them, please proceed to the gallery.

Saturday was homestay day. As Melody's and my host family were busy in the day, their common friend, Ms Watanabe, took care of us for the day. We had to travel like 45 minutes by car to East Hiroshima.

Played with Ms Watanabe's 3 children, Shouta, Sakura and Momo, at her house. Sakura tied my hair for me :D

Momo, who's like 2 years old only.

Sakura, 5 years old.

Shouta, 7 years old.

Poor Sakura was 'stepped' onto by Momo.

Shouta doing a handstand.

Momo trying to play the piano. So cute~!

'How was it?'

While Melody was playing with Sakura and Momo, I drew maze puzzles with Shouta. This's Shouta's masterpiece.

My maze puzzle. As you can see, my drawing's really bad. :(

Momo gave up on playing the piano and went to ride her 'bicycle'.

Cute~

Had udon for lunch.

Had my first taste of lady's finger. I used to think that lady's finger's spicy because of it's shape. Looks like green chili to me. However, it wasnt spicy at all but kind of sticky~

Played around their house after lunch. Shiitake mushrooms grown by the Watanabes.

Their neighbour's onions.

Saw lots of rice fields there.

Somehow, the kids decided to go frog-catching.

Can you see the camourflaged flog?

Shouta managed to catch the frog.

Momo following closely behind Sakura. So freaking cute!

While the kids walked/ran across the muddy grass patches, Melody and I walked like 2cm/hour or something. We fail :(

Shouta managed to catch 2 frogs in the end. Sakura wanted 1 frog from him but Shouta was unwilling to share them with her so she...started crying. While her mum was trying to make her stop crying, Momo, on the hand, ate jelly as if nothing was happening around her. :D

Had a party held by the HIPPO club at night. It was Shouta's birthday as well that day.

Sakura and Melody.

There was lots of food that day~ Yummy!!! Finally met my host family that day. She's Ito Airi, a university student who's like only 2 years older than me! :D

Split up and went to our respective companies.

Hui En, Me, Peisan. On our way to work. The only day where we got to take a car to work. Had to walk like mad and utilise the train for the rest of the days.

The place where Pei San and I were supposed to intern at.

We just had to go around the company to do greetings today so we ended relatively early. In fact, we ended work before lunch :D Ate at Yokocho Ramen which was located a short distance away from the company.

Hmmn, what to eat?

The chef of the shop we went into was from Shanghai, China. We knew that because he was eagerly showing us photos of his hometown when he realised that we could speak Chinese.

While waiting for the ramen to get cooked, we camwhored in the shop. Whee~

Dont ask me why I did that.

My miso ramen.

Walked around after lunch and Pei San discovered her favourite Mr Donut...so we went to buy donuts~The donuts there are seriously pretty and presentable, unlike Singapore's neighbourhood donuts shop. I really cant stand the donuts sold in Singapore. First of all, the size of the donut's damn small and the donuts never fail to look like as if they were done in a hurry or something. Slapping a teeny-weeny M&M on top of a plain donut does not make it a M&M donut okay!!!

Kamenashi Kazuya~

Went to take neoprints. Neoprints in Japan are like dirt cheap and the machine's functions are like really good. No wonder I took so many neoprints in the 3 weeks there. Like...6 times?

My favourite shop. Daiso~

Met Vivien, Grace and Melody at Hondoori.

Supposed to pose like as if we were very tired but...why is Hui En laughing?!

We took the wrong train back so we were like the latest to meet up with the rest at Yokogawa Station. :(

Dinner was donuts, bread and takoyaki.

Went to Hiroshima Shudo University today.

Before setting off, we had a short internship briefing by Mr Saeki in the cateen of the training centre. Following that, we set off for the university in a taxi~!

Weiying, Vivien, Me

All of us upon reaching Shudo University.

Had a really warm welcome by the students there.

We got split into smaller groups and had lunch with the students there. Look at the amount of food in the Maku-no-uchi bento.

My group.

Was brought to the library after lunch. My god! Their library is big, pretty and modern...Unlike NUS' lao kok one.

Pretty origami at the counter.

They have like plasma TVs in the library where students can watch movies there. This is so unfair!

What I like about the library most. They have well-equipped facilities for the wheelchair-bound.

Some prize they got.

In the library with the teacher and students.

At the entrance of Shudo University before leaving the campus. One of the guys was really comical and ran after our taxi for a short distance. :D

Had a lecture by Mr Hashimoto on workplace manners after we got back.

Since there was a 10pm curfew, we stayed in the computer room for the rest of the night.

Supposed to go to the various companies early the following day but we ended up talking till quite late...This is what happens when girls get together :D TALK.

Hiroshima Internship

Took the JR from Kansai Airport to Osaka station to take a highway bus to Hiroshima.

The 8 of us with all our luggages basically clogged up one carriage of the JR and resulted in many people being unable to get onto the train during rush hour. So sorry!!!

The highway bus terminal.

In the bus. Everyone was really excited at the start and were taking photos like there's no tomorrow but in a twinkling of an eye, everyone was in la la land.

Finally reached the Hiroshima Shinkin Bank training center. This was my room for the whole internship period. One person to two beds~ So shuang~ In the end, one bed became the place where I dumped everything on(clothes, plastic bags, receipts, bottles...) and the room was seriously cluttered up by the end of the internship.

Had a briefing in the training centre.

Was made to do a self-introduction in front of the new employees of the Shinkin Bank who were there for training as well.

Had dinner at this family resturant called Gust.

First dinner in Hiroshima~

Photo taken outside Gusto with Mr Tani and Mr Saeki who treated us to dinner~ Thank you very much~!

Havent got the time to blog about my Taiwan trip so I've decided to blog about the internship programme that took place in Hiroshima...in May 2007. Yet another backdated entry~

Went with 8 other girls from school to Hiroshima in May for the internship programme.

Took a plane from Singapore, transited in Thailand before taking another plane to Osaka. The transit in Thailand was 5 whole freaking hours and we almost died walking around in the humongous Thailand airport. Since we spent so much time there, I think that I should dedicate one post solely on the aiport :D

The airport (duh).

Still in the airport.

Some Batte of the Milk Ocean or something like that. Old already, cant remember that well.

Really got milk one lo! It's not called Milk Ocean for nothing~

21/12/07: Day 3 - Lingzhi Place/Da Lu Shan/Beach/Hot Spring Hotel

Day 3

-First stop of the day was the lingzhi shop.

-Listened to a talk on Taiwan's lingzhi and deer fetus which is supposedly good for people with asthma. (eew! wtf?!)
-My sister bought so much stuff that I almost thought that she's going to open a lingzhi shop in Singapore or something. (kidding)
-Wanted to take a photo with the shifu there and somehow the salesladies there thought that I said that the shifu was handsome. -_-
-The shifu then asked me if I 'shui xing le ma' (Fully-awake or not) =D

-Next stop was this place called Da Lu Shan. Damn pretty and the water was crystal blue!

-Ok, doesnt look that pretty in the picture. Cant comment on the photography skills because I wasnt the one who took them.
-Got on the bus and they drove for a relatively short while before reaching the next place. Not sure if it's still Da Lu Shan though...the colour of the water looks the same to me.
-(Note to self) Stop sleeping immediately upon getting onto the bus and listen to the tour guide more!

-Was brought to the beach next but as I have an immense dislike for beaches and sand, I chose to wait...near the toilet... for the rest of the people while they frolicked on the beach.
-My sister was one of those people and she came back with sandy feet.
-Luckily she was wearing my father's Ronald MacDonald shoes. (Crocs)

-I dont see the attractiveness of beaches at all. I'm so totally unromantic :(

-Somewhere in between those places that we went to, we had lunch. Not really tasty I must say but the quantity made up for the quality.
-All of us were divided into groups of 10 for lunch.
-My group was the one that bonded really well I think. In fact, all of us talked so much that we were always the last one to leave the restaurant although we were the first ones to enter.

-Was brought to this seriously lousy hot spring hotel that smelt really bad.
-There were too many tourists from ******* that made me give up the idea of entering the hot spring.
-Aircon was seriously noisy because it kept leaking. How freaking old is the aircon?!

-Wanted to go shopping around that area in the night but there was nothing to see at all.
-While waiting outside 7-11, I saw lots of dead flies. WTF. There were seriously enough flies to make up a parliament.

-Tried mao xie(hairy crabs?) at this little restaurant that was quite a distance away from the hotel.
-Hate eating crabs because it's so troublesome. Have to crack open the shell, eat the meat and get your hands dirty.
-Reason why we chose to eat at this particular shop among all the others that were selling the same thing was because of this uncle who was singing and dancing at the same time. Damn cool!

-It was at that shop that I sang in front of a whole restaurant for the first time in my life! Damn scary.
-On the way back to the hotel, we saw this:

-Is he shitting or is he showing his...erm...yea, you get the idea?
-Reached the hotel at like 11.30pm so didnt enter the hot spring in the end.

Yup, end of Day 3.

20/12/07: Day 2 - Yehliu / Chiufen / Nantien Gong / Hualien

Day 2

-Ate breakfast and went down to the hotel lobby.
-Was told that we couldnt go up the bus.
-Imagine my horror when I realised that 99% of the tour group was already on the bus when we were finally allowed onto the bus.
-The horror got worse when I realised that my seat was just right in front of two little kids.

-The horror worsened when I almost fell through the emergency exit. Who builds emergency exits that are so dangerous anyway?!

-Went to Yehliu, the place with pretty impressive rock formations like this one, the map of Taiwan.

-And this, Nv Wang Tou.

-I have a love-hate relationship with bridges. Bridges are nice because they are damn romantic and nice to look at but I hate them because once I ascend a bridge, I can take an eternity to get down. I was practically sliding down the bridge I climbed up in Japan. In a skirt somemore!

-The sexy peek-a-boo toilet. One can practically see through the door lo! Although it's a guys toilet but still, wtf?! The toilet at one petrol station was even worse. The guys toilet had no door at all! As in for the urinals portion. I was originally very sleepy when I walked to the toilet and was immediately shocked awake by the toilet.

-Ate this fried seaweed snack there. Salty but good. I love anything seaweed.

-Saw Ayase Haruka at Yehliu!!!! Okay, not exactly her in real person but rather her poster. Tried to find Hiraoka Yuta's poster but to no avail. :(

-Next stop was Chiufen which I didnt like very much.
-Too many tourists, too narrow roads and too many large vehicles on the road. I really hate the traffic in Taiwan.

-Everyone had to run into a shop when this vehicle passed by because it was just impossible for someone to walk on the street without getting killed with this vehicle on the street.

-Ate fishball, meatball, sharkball, and whatever balls they had in this shop which was opened by a seriously narcissistic lady. I mean, who practically plasters her shop's walls with her own pictures?! I've finally found someone who is more narcissistic than Tony Khoo. Hahaha.

-Loving this woman's outfit.

-Next stop was Nantien Gong.

-Had to take a 3-hour long bus ride to Hualien.
-What is a 3-hour long bus ride compared to the 4-hour long bumpy bus ride I took before in China?
-It was worse because of the fact that half the bus ride was on a winding road.
-Seriously felt like puking in the middle of the bus ride.
-Contemplated getting some medicated oil from my sister but she was asleep.
-Felt that someone up there likes me very much when the lady(Denise) in front of me used her medicated oil. So, although I wasnt directly using it, the smell alone was enough.

-Had a great dinner at the hotel. In fact, it was the best hotel I've stayed in during this whole trip...and it had nothing to do with the cute bellboys/waiters in the hotel.
-Ate spaghetti, salmon and mango ice-cream. My favourite food~
-Traumatised the sushi guy because I chose like 2 out of the 6 ingredients I think he was supposed to wrap in the temaki sushi.
-The sushi guy traumatised me even more when he handed me my temaki sushi...without rice.

-Wen dao-yu told us that there will be a 7-Eleven near every hotel that we will be staying in.
-Felt damn cheated by him because 7-Eleven was like miles away from the hotel that we stayed in.
-Didnt help that a dog tried to follow us back to the hotel.
-Traumatised the dog by screaming because it appeared all of a sudden in front of me. Paiseh, who asked you to traumatise me first.

-H Alien City. Sounds damn wrong can...in Japanese.

-Caught the hotel people laughing when I was taking this photo. What?! Cannot box reindeers arh?!

-Have a habit of leaving the electricity on when I leave the hotel room so we originally used this book to hold the key in place because it kept popping out of place. Our always helpful tour guide, Victor, had a more indigenous idea of using the toothbrush in place of the key. Eh...what am I going to use to brush my teeth?

Walked around the hotel and I saw men wrapped around in bathrobes coming out of the spa place. Normally men in bathrobes are sexy...if they look like Domoto Koichi...but it's just wrong when their bathrobes are not tied tightly enough.

So yup, end of day 2.

19/12/07: Day 1 - Arrival / Raohe Street Night Market

Damn outdated but going to post bit by bit about my Taiwan trip...last year :D

-Was supposed to reach Changi Airport at 1.15pm but was late because the taxi driver was so slow. Ok, not exactly the taxi driver's fault. Dily-dallied too long at home was the real reason.
-Short briefing by Victor, the Singapore tour guide.
-Laughed because the first hotel that we would be staying in had a really mafia-ish sounding name 'Taiwan Brothers'. Result of watching too much 'Yi Nan Wang'.
-Proceeded to check-in.
-The guy who led us to the check-in counter was fierce and I was damn scared of him. He reminded me of my strict Korean teacher.
-Luckily he wasnt our tour guide.
-Proceeded to enter the gate. The guy checking passports at the gate was so freaking cute.
-Sister was chased out of the gate for eating ice-cream. Apparently ice-cream is considered a liquid because it can melt and it might contain dangerous liquids. Seriously, would anybody be eating it if it really contained dangerous liquids.
-Waited for sister on the other side of the gate and had to listen to the lady who chased her out rant about people eating ice-creams.
-The same lady kept calling 'Mei mei, mei mei' for no reason at all.
-Realised she was calling me to siam to one side when she patted me on my shoulder.
-Flight was delayed so we had to wait among noisy kids.
-Saw this Singaporean guy who looked very Korean. Saw him a few more times on the tour although he wasnt in my tour group.
-Was sceptical about China Airlines because of the not-so-nice rumours I've heard about them.
-Pleasantly surprised by the service and the spacious seats in the plane.
-It helped that the air stewardesses were damn pretty.
-Sucked that I didnt see any cute air steward.

-Reached Taipei at 8pm.
-First thought was 'Shit, why is it so fucking cold? I didnt bring enough warm clothes.'
-Was diao-ed the whole time by this Malaysian woman who was standing in front of me at the immigration counter.
-Realised that Taiwanese are actually quite kiasu too because when a new counter for Taiwan passport holders opened, people from the other queues dashed there straight away and in less than 2 seconds, the queue was snaking already.
-Never seen middle-aged men dash that fast before. Da Kai Yan Jie.
-Met the Taiwan tour guide, Wen dao-yu (dao-yu here meaning tour guide in Chinese and not that the guy's name was dao-yu).
-Sister made 2 new friends Naina and Jimmy while I was still staring into space at the hotel lobby.
-Realised that my sister makes friends damn fast along the whole trip, unlike me. I've never made friends on any other tours I went on before. Yes, I am anti-social/shy, something that my friends scoff at when I tell them so. They keep telling me that I cannot possibly be anti-social/shy because I am so 'bagua'.

-Went to Raohe Street Night Market with the two new friends.

-Taiwan is like filled with dogs or something. Somemore is that kind of large dogs that are not cute at all.

-Of course, there were also cute little dogs too la.

-My Korean class classmate from Taiwan kept telling me about the wonders of Taiwan's bubble tea so I decided to try it.
-I think I seriously traumatised the guy selling bubble tea with my weird questions like 'Which is the most delicious item here?'
-Couldnt read the Chinese words of the drink I wanted and tried to point it out to the guy and he probably thought that I was an idiot or something. How do you read konnyaku in Chinese anyway?!
-Bubble tea was damn delicious. The guy who made the bubble tea looked delicious too. Fu-fu-fu~ :D

-Ate taiyaki there and felt like as if I were in Japan like that. Reminded me of Toukasan.
-Ate 'cong zhua bing' (some onion pancake that tasted like roti prata).

-Saw people selling cannabis. Or rather cannabis incense...Can meh?! Isnt cannabis a drug?!

-And this is Rilakkuma meh?

-Saw Victor eating with that funny tour guide that I never got to know his name. The same guy who told us not to go to Raohe Street Night Market...Why was he there then? :D
-Tasted my first chou dou fu. Smell was horrible but the taste reminded me of Thai sweet-and-sour sauce. Yes, my tastebuds are weird.
-Back to hotel to sleep. Hate bathing in hotels because everytime I do so, I get reminded of the horrible things John Martin Scripps used to do in hotel bathrooms. I should really stop reading real-life murder stories for leisure. It was horrifying to know that I knew almost all the murder cases that they talked about in Forensic Science class. Is this normal? Anyway, this ends my first day in Taiwan.
