Happy New Year 2011 :)
At first, i thought that i would have the worst new year's eve.
Dec, 31th 2010
I didn't have any plan, no much food, and nothing to do. I didn't expect to go anywhere because i didn't have money also i would do pray in 00.00 am.
What I did just only studied, played computer, and also costumed my blog.
My friends had part time job, went to Tokyo, and some of them had trip.
My friends and family in Indonesia went to temple so i couldn't have a chat with them.
Bored! I was so bored yet little sad.
But, at 10.00 pm
Me, others three friends, otousan and family ate soba as Japanese usual
do in new year eve.
Finally, after I did my clean up turn, I prepared for New Year pray in room
Exactly at 00.00 am, I prayed to thanks what happened in 2010 and evaluated myself then prayed for 2011' s resolutions.
Jan, 1st 2011
After pray, 00.30 am,
Me, Otousan, and Hakuso went to the nearest 神社(Jinja; Shinto's temple) to prayed.
In there, i met Jose, then we made a line to pray.
At Jinja, a lot of people came to prayed (初詣: hatsumode). Also there was some of food stall.
Pull the bell, throw the coins, bow you body 2 times, then clapped your hand 2 times, then bow again 1 time. Interesting!~ :)
Then Otousan bought us "omamori" (amulet;jimat) for our luck in life.
Actually, Moe and SoYeon had part time there as 巫女さん( Miko-san;female shaman;shrine maiden) and both wore a cute special clothes :)
So, we als
o visited them. hehehe~
In the morning, I went to my Buddhist temple to have New Year's pray with other believers.
I was so excited because i felt like come back to home. After the pray done, we greet each others then ate dry mochi and sweet sake. It was so delicious! :)
I got some merchandise like calendar, mochi, also book pray.
After that, I took a look for a while in AEON (one of department store in Japan) to see super sale in New Year. It was so crowded!
Then, I walked to my friend house, Kak Deevy to have lunch.
Kak Deevy's husband is good in cooking.
After ate, we played monopoly, jenga, game of life also with kak Aji and kak Lenny until night.
Jan, 2nd and 3rd 2011
I went to Izu with Mom's friend (Aunty Mariana) and her daughter family (Jie Cindy). She came to Japan in Jan, 1st to visit her daughter. Ko Andre ( Jie Cindy's husband) rent a car and he took us to Izu and Atami. It was beautiful! Izu is famous with beach and mountain and i tried onsen (hot spring) in Atami. We didn't take a lot of pictures because it was jammed.
We just had a lunch, drove, then shopped a while in Atami also tried onsen.
I stayed out in Jie Cindy's house for a night and back to dorm in 3rd morning.
I got a lot of things from my mother, also i could eat Indonesian food which Aunty Mariana brought from Indonesia :)
Then around 01.00 pm, in dorm, we ate New Year's food together. It was delicious!
After that, we played Game of life also i got Monopoly game from hakuso. Yihaaa!
In additional: I also went to Aeon for shopped because they still have new year's sale.
My new year is not bad as i thought. hahaha~
Last but not least, semangat menjalankan tekad tahun baru! :)
