Gloomy days....

The weather these days are so gloomy.. at 11:39am the sky is filled with gray clouds and it's raining like hell.... such depressing weather!!

Quick update for the past weekend:
FUR came over by night bus on saturday so Billy and I met up with her in the morning and we did some shopping in the Shinjuku area. After that we headed over to Ryokoku to watch some SUMOs in action...!! It was actually quite entertaining... during the final match of the day where the Yokozuna lost to his opponent, all the audience threw their mats onto the stage. Can you believe that? Japanese people being unorderly? That is the first time I've ever seen chaos happening in Japan.. lol... anyway, they were throwing mats cuz when the Yokozuna pushed the other guy out of the ring, the guy jumped so the Yokozuna fell on the ground before the other guy landed outside the ring. There was also apparently some hair pulling involved... whoa.. hehe now that's not something you see every sumo match. XD






*Sumo shaped Omiyage... XD so cute!!

After sumo we met up with some more people and had AYCE beef and pork shabushabu!!! MMmm... I LOVE beef... haven't had so much beef in a looong while. The only thing they're missing is SATAY sauce! >< Oh well... still good!! After dinner, we went to get a few drinks and then we split up. Clem and Neil went to a club with their friend "Charles" lol... and Kevin, Billy, Jenn and I were originally gonna hit up some Karaoke place for the night, but those who have read my previous post will probably know that that didn't happen cuz K places were all too expensive! So we ended up in a manga cafe.... and spent 2.5 hours sleeping there...





So here the story continues, we wake up at 5am and headed towards Tsukiji Fish market, only to find that they're CLOSED on sundays!! >< Man..... I'm sooo sorry Jenn, Billy and Kevin.... =P Anyway... Kevin headed home after, while Fur and I took a nap, did a bit of shopping then headed to badminton!! XD that's right.. badminton after 2.5 hours of sleep... omg.... we ended up getting there fairly late but still got to play 3 games of doubles.. =) Feels different when we play togehter.. >< lost part of the "connection", but no worries we'll gain it back when we're both back in Vancouver!!!

After baddying... we headed back to Shinjuku to return the Nanospeed 9000 that we borrowed (it actually felt REALLY good.. the NS9000 S)... and then had Monjayaki for dinner. The waiter was kinda cute actually.. lol and we made him cook monjayaki for us cuz neither of us knew how to make it. Finally we met up with Billy and headed home... it was one looong weekend... felt more like one looooooooooooong day to me.

Will post pictures up in a bit....

==========================================

Looking forward to CRAZY Tokyo tour this weekend and WingSoul baddy!!
Tsukiji Fish Market attempt #2... keke and Sega Joypolis @ Odaiba!

Baddiholics: I got a request from WingSoul saying they wanna see how "Canadian training" is like, so they asked me to plan this weekend's training schedule... =P Basically I have 3 courts (only ><), 3 hours and 20 people. What kind of drills should I do??
Suggestions please... drills that would optimize court time and minimize waiting time. (I already got a few from Jyh.. thanks! ;) )

Also.. looking forward to Hokkaido trip NEXT weekend... XD

heh, yeah throwing mats onto the stage is a popular tradition in sumo apparently. When I came back from my sumo trip, the first thing my coworkers asked was if I got to throw mats at the sumos. lol

Can't wait till you return for some women's doubles! Hopefully you won't kick our butts too badly since you've been keeping pace even when you're half the globe away! : p
