A night of fun in our apartment singing to Westlife.... but first shopping in Sakae






Popping Shower

Apparently one of the most popular flavors in Baskin' Robbins. Its super yummy and have tiny little pop-tasic fun in between!



Some Random Fun

After a hard day of training and to mark the half way mark - I few of us hit the city for some food and randomness!!!

More Peppy!!

Here is some of the pics of my first peppy kids experience! So to psych up for the experience I went to Maccas for lunch haha.
My Frontline Teacher - Greg was super cool and British too so he had killer accent haha Also introduced to chips (sour plum flavoured) that I will never eat again *yuk*

He gave me heaps of hints and advice about how to succeed in the company... so great thanks to him!







Some More Photos






Unhealthy Dinner

So sometimes we come home late, tired and broke!

And to clarify - we had 2 noodles each, this picture is my share haha

Brand New Day!

The culture her in Japan is all about fake everything!!!

Naturally it will only be a matter of time before we dived into the hair colouring industry in Japan. Buying "do-it-at-home" colouring kits, I went for a honey brown and Maya went for a Ash Blonde!

Here we go...





Final results photo to come...~

Training with PKC

So on Monday I officially started my job with PKC. There is a compulsory 2 week training and I am currently in the third day. Its quite full on with the company information and curriculum but at the same time it was fun - partly cause Maya and I just joke and fool around!

The first 2 days was formal but today (the third day) was more casual - meaning t-shirt and jeans. Unfortunately I only got 1 shirt that was baggy and loose... damn!
I hoped off the train on the way home today and just purchased a new shirt - yay!!!!

Loving everyone back home!
