Japanese の あいうえお


Every Friday,每周五
8:00 - 10:00 pm,晚间八点至十点
Mage Cafe, Damansara Jaya/SS22 (Opposite of Atria)

相信蛮多认识我的都应该还记得我曾经在大学时期报读选修过日语吧,其实一直以来我都希望能再次好好地重温自己所学过的一切,不然要是只那么眼睁睁地看是往日还算不错的语言能力就这么地日渐退步的话实在是太可惜了。是担心并且不想被人冠上爱炫之类的缘故吧,我根本无法也不可能会有机会与任何人以日语交谈,人呐,顾虑可真不少啊

其实我也只是第三次参与这个日语夜课而已,昨晚终于回到家里时已实在是太晚了,真的累垮了,只是 MSN 和 Facebook 了一阵子后就倒头大睡,唯有将这么一长篇大论留给思维清晰的早晨咯。回想起来第一堂课应该是在六月二十六日当晚吧... 早在数个月前就从同事 Eliana 哪听说过啦,自己本身也蛮有兴趣并曾考虑报读的,不过当时的我因为某个人的关系还是决定不要在周五工作后安排任何活动... 现在一切已成为过去了,就别提啦

总的来说我们这一班包括我在内共有六位学生,分别为班长 Adrian ,Adisa ,Hafeez ,再加上 Aman 和 Eliana 这一对;当然也不可忘了我们那可爱的日语老师 Miki sensei 咯。学费还真的不是一般的便宜呃,每堂课的总额才需八十零吉而已,是由我们六个人平分的哦,能在两个小时之内以超低的价钱来获益超多,真的是太划算了。 嗯... 本来我是有打算要拍下些照片上传来这里的,不过又不太清楚他们是否会介意,还是下一趟问问看再说吧

号外:其实自从我打算从新开始写 blog 后我的相机就已随着我走到哪去到哪了

Some of you might still remember I took Japanese classes years ago back in MMU Melaka, well actually I would like to refresh my memory so that what I learnt would not gone to waste because I realized all the time that my Japanese vocabulary and usage is getting weaker and lousier since I got no one to practice with, and it's indeed impossible and would not make sense at all if I simply speak Japanese out of nowhere, afraid of being accused that someone’s showing off or something. Life, is really so hard and complicated.

Was already late when I finally got back home from my 3rd Japanese night classes so I purposely left the whole story aside and just relax and slept after some MSN chit-chat and Facebook activities. Actually I only started to join the study group as a new student 3 weeks ago on 26 June 2009. Heard from Eliana, my colleague, about this study group months ago and of course I was really interested but back then I was not available because I would like to keep my Friday nights free on purpose for certain reason... but now, everything's over.

Overall we got 6 students there including me myself, featuring Adrian the class representative, Adisa, Hafeez, and lastly Aman & Eliana the two couple; not to forget about our cute Miki sensei too of course. The tuition fee is cheap and really worth it for the two interesting and fruitful hours, with only a total amount of RM80 per session, divided equally by all the 6 students. Actually I thought of taking their pictures and post here but I was not sure whether they OK about it so... perhaps I should voice out and see how thing goes next time.

PS: The fact is, I got my camera ready with me all the time wherever i go after I decided to create this blog


This is where the Mage Cafe located
我们就是在这里上课咯


地图上那个位于 Atria 对面的写着 "Shops" 字眼的就是我们上课的 Mage Cafe,大多时候我和 Eliana 都会把车子停泊在那一排商店隔壁的最靠近的车位。话说 Mage 是一间能让你安心地点菜和享用美食,然后再看看是否有兴致和朋友们来一场棋盘游戏大决斗的所谓 board game cafe 。他们的 board game 还真的是多得很,我这个门外汉不单是没玩过,甚至从未在任何购物商场见到过。嗯... 其实如果你想要挑战店长的话他应该也不会拒绝吧,当然前提是他必须是闲着并还未加入任何其他的战局咯

As you can see, the Mage Cafe (marked with the wording "Shops") is located at the shop lots opposite of the Atria complex. Normally Eliana and I parked our cars there at the compound next to the shops. The venue is more like a board game cafe where you can order and enjoy the nice foods and drinks, and then decide whether you want to get an awesome duel with your friends there on any board game you are interested in. They really got lots of choices there where I never seen any of the title out there in any shopping complex or so. Am not too sure about this but I guess you can actually challenge the cafe owner too if he is available and free.


This is how to get there from NZX, the GPS suggested me to use
the lanes of Taman Emas housing area that lead me to Taman Mayang interchange instead, the shorter route indeed
若是从我家哪启程的话呢还是乖乖地跟着 GPS 的建议走比较好,
这是它为我指引的一段短程又快捷的模拟展示图


Since I always directly get there from office after work,
this is how the route looks like
反正我每每都是放工后直接从公司出发,路程就大概是这样子咯


本来我们应该是每周五都会准时上课的,因为 Adisa 需要出外公干的关系下周五(七月十七日)又得再缺席了,所以 Miki sensei 和 Adrian 就打算先公休一日咯,不然对 Adisa 也真的是太不公平了:原因其一,就算无法参与上课我们还是一样需要缴付自己当天的费用,这是当初他们大家一致通过的;原因其二,下一堂课开始我们将进入另 一本教科书,学习较深的课程了,如果就这么错过的话就太可惜了。接着在八月和九月间我们也会因为回教友族斋戒和庆祝开斋节的关系而分别停课数日。

应该就这么到此为止吧,待会儿我将会到 Fullhouse Cafe 去享用他们的套餐,当然也少不了把握机会多拍些美美的照片咯;可惜的是Ryan 老大现下正在前往马六甲的路程中,我还没有机会拿到周四他帮我从 Lowyat 买的 multicard reader 和 bluetooth 呢... 无所谓啦,大不了照片就留给下一次再传上来咯,谢谢你咯老大!

Normally we will have our night classes weekly but since Adisa couldn't make it again for next week's (17 July 2009) so Miki sensei and Adrian decided to call it a week off, or it would be unfair for Adisa already because we still need to pay even if we absent for that particular session. Guess this way is better too that Adisa would not be missing anything important since what's even worse we will be using another textbook and learning something deeper already right after this. We will also have off days in both August and September due to the Muslim's fasting season (the Puasa) and Hari Raya celebration, as discussed and agreed by all of us.

Guess that's for now, might be going over to Fullhouse Cafe NZX after this for their set lunch :p Of course I will surely take pictures of the cute cafe. Too bad Ryan is already on the way to Melaka so I can't get my gadgets from him just yet, gotten his help to buy me a brand new multicard reader and bluetooth devices from Lowyat on Thursday; but no big deal, I can still upload it when I finally get them someday. Thanks a lot bro, owe you big time!
