Extreme Weather

Early morning with so much cold temperature, unable to sleep anymore because the winter cold go through into my skin and feel uncomfortable on my bed.

Mr. Winter, how could you be so nice to me today? Huh? ⛄

Although the weather is not in minus degree, but still can kill me.

Today's Meal

After several day 'mengikat perut' (not cooking), today is the first time to cook back. This is just a simple cooking, beef soup + rice +potato+ keropok ikan. Yeah, not so healthy and unbalance because lack of vitamin from vegetables.

But, I cook this in a very large quantities. Maybe it can be last for 2~3 days. For rice, it is better to finish it in 2 days or otherwise, the rice will become so thigh to be chewed in our mouth.

Main dish: rice inside beef soup

Then, I should be more inspired to cook more, lively and energetic.

ps: urgh...

finishing my exam

Walaweyhhhhhhh...

At last, my last exam was finished officially on last Wednesday. I felt too tired, after giving too much pressure on brain, on body. Now, I have more times to return to my daily lifestyle, such as gaming, traveling and most important is cooking. Ex-xam was really taken me into a new mode, where my appetite was not function very well, as eating feel the same as not. Pressure during exam made you to forget enjoyment of a meal. Yeah, the effect also took out after exam, made me become lazy to cook for dinner, now I didn't eat a whole day.(-_-). Perhaps, my thin body become more thiner after this.

Official exam really don't mean you are already finished completely. There are still hidden exam there, such as repeat exam, if you failed certain subject and the teachers are too kind to help you by giving one more last chance. Yes, my prediction on several days after this, I am on the table doing the test. Difficult paper came most this time, but not to forget myself, after hell training  to answer hard questions, my brain was unable to extract and process an easy question. Sometimes I felt it is worthless to put more effort on certain things that we don't know the income. Yet, at the same times I felt so satisfied if I can achieve my target with a pleasure result, and the way to cross the cliff is only by own effort. What I want to paraphrase here is good result from good effort is better than null effort with good result (genius?). At least, only me think like that.

Here, some reflection from preparation for this time exam  :

1. How great your effort is not a key in answering all question smoothly.

2. Help always come without expected in many ways.

3. Confident is must, but confident also down your motivation if your confident answer was wrong.

4. Time is diamond, always running out quickly. If we are doomed (lost confident) for next subject , we  ll stuck inside room and over thinking we are done , without realizing time wasted for just thinking for something we don't need.

5. Friends are like shining star. They can always be there to comfort you, if you close enough to them.

6. Throw our bad habit of 'if I did this last time, I can...' . This words is completely lie to us. Even we get through a time machine to redo our action, what done is done. Maybe the things you do that time result you to more big mistakes in future. The best thing is to believe, to be positive and make our mistake a constructive weapon for future. Our next action will be critical, to correct back and achieve the 2nd phrase of if I did this last time, I can...' .

7. Cleanness don't forget. Make sure your cram place tight, and you ll be in a good mood to study.

Especially for no. 7, Hard for me to do during exam. ('～'). My place was just like a war zone, many death body (rubbish) on my floor. Or just like after Celebration in Key ell, where the gathering plaza must be unbelievably dirty. Thinking is priority until I throw all unused paper, food and plastic in one spot on my floor. Tadaaaa....

Exam mode

Even I don't believe, I could produce so much garbage like this for short period of time. If I'm alone can produce like this, how about 2000, 3000 people around me produce like this, is the dump site can still manage the capacity? Thats why importance of recycling. Here in Japan, the most important from reduce, reuse and recycle are recycle. They always use daily product so impossible to reduce. Reuse is still practical but not all people do it. However, recycle is mandatory for all the resident here. They need to separate the garbage into several category such as combustible, non combustible, plastic, bottle and others. For me, I need to clean up these mess and throw it by tomorrow. If I don't, they will not collect the garbage and I need to place it one more time next week. This is called as throwing day system. For instance, to throw combustible trash is on Tuesday and Friday, bottle on Wednesday and plastic on Monday. They will not collect your garbage if you don't throw on appointed time and days. Definitely, positive and negative effect is in here. Firstly, the system make people aware to be punctual to throw their garbage, Secondly, I m too lazy to throw in the early morning (*^-^*)

In conclusion, why I am telling garbage story right now is because I feel my life is like them. It is neither important nor needed in this world. Even trouble us by throwing them into dump site. But, one of their strength is to gather/accumulate and make a big group, to disturb the writer during study.

online shopping

have you felt step onto laziness, yourself didn't want to leave house to buy something outside? here is one of the best solution, which is 'Online Shopping'.

In this ' Matahari terbit sebelah Timur' country, there are 2 common websites being used for online shopping. One is Rakuten, the biggest online shopping company based in Japan. Actually, I loved this websites most because more variety of goods and the point system used in the website. If we purchased one product with own account, we can get points, which can be used later to buy product with discount. For instance, If I bought a pen and got 2,300 points, I can used to buy a 3000 yen knife at 700 yen.(calculation is simple 3,000yen - 2,300 point). In conclusion, More I bought, more I get. If you are very smart, make other people buy things with your account and you can get point benefit here. Definitely, the person just need to pay you money, but his point is your point.(*^-^*)

Rakuten supply a ton of merchadise, from clothes, accessories  to food, you name it they got it. There was a time I bought a dozen of mineral water in the website(-_-). Not mention here I was lazy but you know, to lift a box of mineral water is impossible for me without car. So, the best things was to order online and they carry for you.

Rakuten Websites

Actually, there are more feature in the websites such as you can do history search, which you can get back information about your search before. Moreover, billing information, receipt and comment to a product can be done online. One of the beast in Rakuten service is in their carriage charge. Most of them is free, unless you buy items which is extremely cheap. Yet, if we add all cheap items, we can get free shipping after certain price. So, basically the price is same as you buy in the nearest store, at least we don't need to waste body energy, fuel and parking money. Shipping usually take 1~2 days from purchased day, unless they send your items with normal postage, which may take 1~4 days depend on distance of their shop and your house.  In addition, we can search our delivery items condition in website too, as easy as ABC. How to know our current delivery condition? 

The biggest carrier companies in Japan are Sagawa, Yamato and Japan post. Mostly, they will use Sagawa for the fastest and easy shipping online. After you purchase your products in Rakuten, you will be given an email from Rakuten (receipt) and shop which handle the item. The shop will email back with delivery information, when they send the products and with appointed carriage company and track number. Below is how you can track your purchased items.

This is your delivery condition with detailed date

So, this is basically how Rakuten works in Japan. The other online shopping website is Amazon, based in US. For malaysian people like us, we know this website is very popular among internet buyers but hey, there many type of amazon here. Amazon US, Amazon UK and Amazon JP is categorized in each country. For Japan, certainly they use Amazon JP with dual language, Japanese and English. 

So, How about payment to the purchased items?

basically, there are 4 ways to do payment: 

1.Credit card

2.Convenience store

3. Pay on delivery

4. Money transfer

Paying in convenience store is by inputting your payment information on the machine inside the store and after that there be printed out slip. Finally, bring the slip into counter and pay with appropriate amount of money. Famous convenience stores here are 7e, Lawson, Family mart, Mini stop and many more. Usually the store is almost near with your living place.

  Malaysia online shopping websites?

I am still remembered Mudah.com become the famous online shopping website in Malaysia. Yet, the system is totally different from here. Payment from the websites is being made hand to hand (cash), where the website only a platform for the buyer and seller to deal. After you purchased, the buyer or seller need to move to a specific location to pay or give the product. We can see here time is consumed a lot, but because you are dealing with seller directly, you can ask for discount, free gift and many more. Nowadays, seller can ship the product and buyer can pay through money transfer, debit card or credit. But I am still believe, we can't get item in 1 or 2 days. We need to deal with them a few times before they can send the product. 

Why we used debit card usually rather than credit card?

This is my personal opinion. Our people still don't have enough buying money so debit is a relevant choice right now. If we debt too much, we are not able to pay the credit and Malaysian salary is too low for many of them for having credit card. With the increase price of daily product with same amount of salary, I think we are too far away for having credit card right now. 

What do you things about online shopping? do we need to improve our online shopping system?easy for people living in area which limited mobility to buy thing,  or just buying in the store is a better option? there, you can see, feel and touch the real product.
