A Little Shopping Spree

Finally I got my first bill for gas, electricity, and phone!

My gas bill. 913 yen.

The gas is cheap for sure, I rarely cook.

Electricity. 2.458 yen.

Not too bad. But surely by the next 3 months it will be more expensive cause no doubt I will use much more appliances such as heater or kotatsu to fight the winter.

My phone bill!! I am very nervous when opened my bill envelope at that time.

Surprisingly, it is cheaper than I thought. Remember the previous post about the forecast bill for my phone? I wonder why it is cheaper (still dont know until now). I thought it will be 8000 yen up above something. Only got 7300 yen for phone bill just makes my day!!

Still not getting my bill for water though. I wonder how much it will cost? *scared*

Recently, not much to do except to attend training in my company like as always. However around this week I’ve been buying going to several places such as Tokyo Midtown, Tokyo Sky Tree, Yoyogi Park, and several every day need shopping. However  I didn’t manage to take proper photos because most of them at that time I go unintentionally only for taking a little bit walk after church (on Sunday).

I bought several new things though! So exciting but feels a little bankrupt at the same time..

I bought a small humidifier from Muji. 

This is still in the middle of Fall but the air is very dry already. If I dont buy this thing, my skin will be ruined! It usually went very dry in the morning without humidifier. I have to buy this to prevent my skin not too get very dry or else it will be very itchy.

After that I buy a new eyeliner, lashes and colored contact lenses!!

• Heroine Make Liquid Eyeliner Jet Black : 924 yen.
• Candy Magic 1 Day Colored Contact Lens Miracle Brown : 1680 yen.
• Diamond Lash 5 pair : 1050 yen.

See that’s why I feel poor already (but happily poor!)

However however however finally this is my first time of buying colored contact lenses!! I never use lenses before but after a while here I am really really convinced to try colored contact lenses. I saw that almost 98% of Japanese girl wear contact lenses so why not try? Since I think the quality of colored contact lenses is better here rather in Indonesia, so I try this Candy Magic brand. Firstly I buy the daily usage one. Want to try whether I can use contact lenses or not.  One box consist of 5 pairs of contacts. So exciting to try all of these!

Maybe on the next post later I will try to review this brand, along with the lashes and eyeliner! So see ya then!

FINALLY JAPAN!

Finallyyy I have moved to Japan!! My blog is lacking progress simply is due to a hell lot of working to do before I got to Japan. Now finally I have the time to write and update my blog! Yaay thanks God for this time! There’s a lot of thing I’ve been doing for about this two months.

I think I will list it and make it simple:

1. For one and a half month, I’ve been studying intensively about Nihon Go because in early October I will go to Japan directly.
2. In this one month too I get my visa ready! It is said 5 years working visa wtf. So long??? I didn’t expect that!! (But still happy)

·       While in Japan, it’s been around 1 month I’ve stayed here. The whole month is so damn busy!! From apartment stuff until training stuff.  I’ve been doing so much this whole month until I cannot believe that a drastic routines movement sometimes it is exciting yet depressing.I’ve been doing these things so far:

• Surveying new apartment and decided which apartment to stay. I pick the cheapest one that I can get here hahah. 
• Preparing for my new work: Shopping for new uniform. Since my company require the staff to use their clothing for work, I buy a lot for at least 1 week stock. So happy I’ve never buy so much clothes in one time shopping for my whole life!! I buy some of the furnitures too.

• Moving to Apartment. I will talk more detail about this on the next post! How is my apartment look like and some details about it. Now just a sneak a whole-peek.

• Making my residence card, bank account and other boring official things and stuff.
• Buying new handphone (In Japan, they called it “Keitai Denwa” / “Keitai” only which means portable phone? Not really sure). Finally I can get rid of my BB and finally decided to buy HTC one as my replacement. I will try to make separate post about handphone in Japan since the system is quite unique. Not a proffessional discussion of course but only to try to make a simple explanation about it like dummy guide for something.

• Search for a church. Still struggling to get a comfortable one.
• Welcoming ceremony in my company, and start training. It has been two weeks now for the training. The training is so intensive!!  Not to mention about the “lost in translation” mode I’ve always have on the training due to language barrier thingy. But until now day by day I am getting more used to talk and speak in Japanese. I hope I will get better at least for the next two months.  And these is my friends from Singapore, China, and Hongkong consecutively.Yes they sometimes get “territorial” because they speak Chinese fluently while I only can speak English, Bahasa and Japanese a little bit. Sometimes I miss speaking Bahasa, a lot.

Why am I alone? Simply because I'm the only one from Indonesia. So proud yet so sad on the same time, confusing you are Yolanda.

Tons of activities for this past two months and I really don't have any time to do blogging (So sorry even for myself). After this I’m sure I can write so many interesting things about since I am in a new place and still a lot whole more to discover! See you on next post!

Just Another Weekend

I don't know what to post recently, nothing happened much.

I'm a little bit disappointed that recently all of my weekend plans are almost 90% ruined, or aborted. I'm planning on having a farewell party (which unfortunately postponed, or no farewell party after all in the end), and having some lunch with my small Christian group of my own. Apparently, my little disciples (yes, in this small group I'm the leader and have some little disciples, girls around or 1-2 years below my age actually. I love them!) doesn't prioritize much about this lunch while I'm counting days here to see them. A little disappointed, I guess.

So, here I am on my cloudy Monday posting some photos I've done last weekend:

Shoes shopping! I have no other flat shoes anymore! On the last post I told you all my final shoe is ruined thus I need to buy a new one. No. TWO. I've buy this 2 for only 199.000! I'd prefer classics models. It's been such a long time for shoes-shopping spree. For me.

Editing some designs for competition. I love fashion. I love design. I hate competition. But worth to try I guess :) I've made 2 designs with Tenun Ikat motives!

Working on my final assignments for good. I want to graduate as soon as possible. I thought making last assignment is easy but it's not. It took my one day to get only about 6-7 addition pages.

and finally, play The Sims 3. This game is so fuckingly addictive! Maybe next time I'll post my super sweet happy rich animal lover I dream (and made) of!

See ya on next post! :)
