Hello, Everyone! I have been a long time since I last posted anything on here. I spent very busy days recently.

As you know, I moved to Matsumoto in Nagano and I started new life here :D What dramas do happen for me? I am very excited!

 

Well, I wanted to write my days from 30th Aug to 2nd Sep here but it's hard to write all so I'll write only 30th Aug :P

(It is a just diary but you might enjoy it :P) I'll write 31st to 2nd Sep later^^

 

Phoenix corrected my vocabs and grammers on this blog. Thank you very very much, Phoenix :D

 

30th/Aug - Moving day

 

I woke up at 6:30 a.m., checking my stuff again, and had a breakfast with my parents without talking. I felt that they were already missing me, especially my Mum!!

After breakfast my Dad took me to the train station by car. I couldn't go to my new house with the removalists because I had to arrive there by 1p.m. to meet the gas and telephone people. The remover would not arrive at the  the house until about 6 p.m. that night.
I took a suitcase with me. Inside it I had a telephone, a lap top, a boiler and some internet's tools.  Geez!
Once at the station, I took on an express train. But there were not enough space to put the suitcase! To make matters worse, the person in front of me was laying down on his seat so there was no space for my legs!  So, I had to open my legs and put the suitcase between my knees!!! It was so embarrassing !!!
 
While I was on the train I was thought about my schedule for the day.....(I like to plan ahead whenever I have something important to do)

'I would arrive at the station in Nagano at noon; I'll take the bus, put my suitcase there, then go to my new work place on foot; There, I needed to do some procedures. After that I would go to the market to buy lunch and then return home. That should take an hour. The gas and telephone people said that they would come around 1 p.m. to set up the gas and connect the phone. That should take until about 3pm. I will have 2 or 3 hours till the removalists come so in that time I can go to the market and buy groceries. The removalists will be at my place at about 6pm, they'll put my stuff in my room and should be finished by about 8 p.m. Then I can have dinner, a hot bath and just relax!'

I thought my plan was excellent!

Suddenly my mobile rang. I thought 'I'm on the train! How come I can receive a call now!!' (In Japan, we can't talk on a mobile on trains or buses) and I stepped over my suitcase and I went to a deck for talking. It was the man from the telephone company! He asked me whether he could start setting up the phone things an hour earlier than we had planned..... It was impossible to meet at noon and we decided to meet at 12:30 p.m. I would have to hurry so I decided to take a taxi... Gosh!
 
I arrived at the station at noon then I quickly took the taxi and headed to my new work place instead of my new house. I filled in some forms and arrived back at my new house at 12:20 p.m. While I unpacked my suitcase I was thinking 'I am hungry and thanks to the phone company I have missed my chance to buy food. Grrrrrrrrrr!'

At 12:30 p.m. my mobile phone rang again. I answered. It was the phone people again! He said that he couldn't come to my house by 12:30 because he had gone to another house and was taking long time fixing a phone line!!!! He apologised to me and he would be at my place at around 2 p.m....................
Hey! I TOOK A TAXI AND MISSED MY LUNCH BECAUSE OF THIS GUY!!!! I was a very, very poor Jinko!!!
I couldn't go to the shop either because the gas man might come soon.
1:30 p.m. the gas man came and checked the houses gas system, set the boiler and was finished by 2 p.m. At that time the phone man rang me. I thought he was calling to say that he would be here soon but instead he said that he was still fixing the phone line and he would not be at my house until around 3 p.m.!!!! I said 'No worries.' I was very, very polite and spoke with a nice voice, but in my mind I was saying 'What the hell is going on, mate!!!!'

Well, I now had 1 hour of free time so I went to the market to buy groceries (lunch, dinner, toilet rolls, cloth, detergent, a bottle of green tea. 20 packs of plastic bags for rubbish). We have to buy 3 different kinds of bags for rubbish in Nagano...one for combustible items, one for incombustible items, and one for plastic items. When I was having lunch (a roll of bread) my mum rang me to say that the removalists had left their house at 2:30 p.m. and would arrive at my place at around 6 p.m.

 

The phone man came to my house at around 3 p.m. and said sorry to me many times.
He set up my phone and internet connection and was finished by about 4 p.m. He said that because my apartment is old, the phone line was dodgy and it might disconnect a lot when I am using the internet. He said that if I get disconnected, I should ring the phone company to replace the main line.

After that I visited my neighbours to greet them but not everybody was home.
I started cleaning my room because there was still a lot of dust till. I connected internet and looked at some websites while I waited for the removalists to arrive they were supposed to be here at 6 p.m. but they didn't come till 8!!!
 
I checked my email and there was one from Phoenix! I was very happy. He cheered me up^^ then I signed into MSN but it didn't work! I tried a lot of times but MSN didn't work at all!!! Bloody hell!!!!

I had changed to new provider and it seemed that the provider's security influenced my MSN access. I wanted to read an instruction booklet, however it was dark in my room and I couldn't read it and find the solution .....I was getting sad.... It was dark and the remover hadn't come yet......I sent an email to Phoenix from my mobile instead of my PC....
 
I looked outside from my balcony, a brilliant night view spread out!!! I could see lights of cars which were twinkled, and lights of buildings, room's lights and street lamps also were sparkling! It was my first time to see the night view from here. I began to like my new house! When I am depressed, I think that surely this scenery will heal my heart.
 
At 8pm while I was having my dinner (a slice of bread) in the dark room, the removalists arrived. The 2 muscle bound guys brought my stuff up from the ground to 5(4)th floor very smoothly. I opened windows because my room was getting hot!
The cool breeze entered my room...But it brought with it a bat. A BAT !!!!
Waaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!  The bat flew around my room very, very quickly and it sometimes attacked me and the removalists. It was soooooooo scary and I screamed 'Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!' After 5 minutes though, the bat had gone. The bat was my first visitor to my new house^^ I hope that it never visits here again....
 
We finished moving stuff at 8:30 p.m. and the removalists went back Tokyo. I only had time to set up the kitchen and bath stuff because it was getting late.
 
After setting some stuff up I read the instruction booklet to fix my internet security. I couldn't find the solution so I decided to use Web Messenger instead.
I chatted with my friend but my connection was often disconnected because of the old phone line!!! I was very, very sorry to my friend..... I have to ring up the phone company!!
 
I was so exhausted and making my schedule today was a waste of time! Many people totally fu☆ked me up!

I think there will be a lot of nice things happening around me in the future!!!!
Anyway, that night, I slept very, very deeply.............
