Welcome back my Samsung GT N5100

Just a short update about what happened recently in my life .... before I'm continuing my Japan Trip Serial Post. If I would take a conclusion, it's truly like I'm on a Roller Coaster's Peak. After being up, and then you were thrown down very fast. Yeah, after experiencing the most fun and happy times in Medical Education Block, and then I found myself panicking and gone depressed because my tab is lost.

Okay, I know this is super weird, weird enough to make some of my brain cells dead and I had gone into paralysis state on Tuesday morning. About 4 hours after I wrote my frustration and sadness in previous post .......  I got this message when I was having a breakfast before going to uni.




I shouted out loud in the house ((((;゜Д゜)))

I hurried up finishing my meal and went straight to library. Well, after went to library on Saturday, and then 3 times a day on Monday, losing hope, and finally on Tuesday. I'm truly beyond blessed. Every people around me said that I'm very lucky since .... you know, every single person in here would know there is probably 0% chance of finding something when you have gone to that place more than once. I've been visited library like a mad person, asking the same librarian over and over again ... for 2 different days! Even I'm thinking that I'm being annoying, pushy, for something that is lost because of my fault.


Truly this is the work of God and my prayer to Mother Mary :)

Well, some of my close friends who are also my readers suggested me to delete the previous post. But I think I won't. It shall be a reminder of my stupidity and also the proof that how my 3rd week in September began with the peak, thrown to below, and now being raised up in quite flat track but not in a happy way. Well, for sure I knew that someone has do really take my tablet somewhere outside the library or do something inside. Because all the data has been lost and yep... someone broke through my password. Although I had locked it and make the displayed message to contact my number ........ But I won't question it further. All in all, I'm so thankful to this librarian who returned my tablet. Thankyou Babe :)

I'm now in Medical Emergency block, besides the hard material, the environment also make me stressed. We are being placed in K405-406 Room, not in the usual L101. It has 8 AC's but it felt like none of them are functioned. No kidding, it's veeeeeerrrryyyy HOT and by about 12 PM some people have sweated too much and there is this strong smell full of stench.






Sigh, I think it's gonna be another 2 or 3 weeks to continue my Japan Trip Post since I'm still haven't done editing photos on Day 5. Hope I will be able to post it soon after my Mid Block Exam at the next 2 weeks >_<


So, my dear Samsung GT N5100

I bid you my welcome greeting on September 15 :)

Farewell, my Samsung GT N5100

Last weekend is supposed to be a fun, productive weekend for me. I have just finished my first block in 7th term of pre-clinic phase, which is the most fun block I've ever participated in: Medical Education. So after last Friday, I plan to continue my travel diary post, preparing this and that for another long-term post arrangement, also editing zillion of photos to create a photo album of my last trip.

All will be done in my parent's hometown: Bangka. Oh yeay, it sounds good. It's the weekend after block, short getaway to Bangka, and nice ambience to be productive for blogging. Of course, I brought all the gadgets with me: laptop, handphone, my 8" tablet Samsung Note 2.

 But it turns out to be the WORST weekend I've ever had....


Well, here is the story...

Japan Trip Day 4: Shopping for Yukata at Sensoji Temple and Odaiba

PS: Useful links will be provided below

So, on the fourth day there is quite a big change in the itinerary!

Actually it's supposed to be Tokyo Tower - Zojoji Temple - Odaiba. But since we are preparing and putting tomorrow's itinerary which is Tanabata Festival as a priority ..... well it's decided that today will be dedicated for yukata hunting mission! This is why actually I chose this period of day for travelling to Japan (July 1-7), so it would be fit to attend a local festival which happened to be at July 4 and 5, and it's only 3 minutes walk from my apartment. Not just attending, but also blending in with locals by wearing yukata, complete with cute hair accessories, kinchaku (Japanese pouch), and geta (Japanese sandals).

Of course, I already planned this before that we will buy the yukata at Odaiba. To be more specific, at Shimamura Store in a shopping mall called Aqua City Odaiba. I've already read so many good reviews about it. Shimamura is a retail clothing store which sold almost everything, from formal office wears, casual outfits, sandals, shoes, hair accesories, and even yukata set! Yukata set means it already consists of yukata + geta + obi  with price ranged from 3000-6000 ¥.

It's indeed really pretty right?
Could you believe that it's only 3900 ¥ Σ(゜ロ゜;)



But the more it sounds promising, the more we are scared. We are scared that by the time we arrived there it's already closed. It's the last place to visit in our itinerary and Japanese shops closed really early (8 PM). We also feel insecure.

How if the price is already going up? 
What if we don't find the pattern and color that we like?

Yet, the deadlines are tomorrow!

So, we are searching for another alternatives. From many sourced in the internet, it is said that Sensoji Temple is one of many places in Tokyo to get a cheap yukata. Wow! Yeah, I know that we have been in Sensoji on day 1, and I know that I have seen some of yukata and kimono being displayed there but I don't know the price. So why not? Sensoji is only 7 minutes walk from my apartment, so .... let's go to there again!
