Tomoko's Blog

Originally I made this blog to communicate with with my friends I made with in London . I arrived in London at 14th April 2005 and this is my start studying here. I like computer staff and would like to develop knowledge in that field . I am getting some knowledge from my friends who are so much in that field. So I would like to try what I get and put them on this blog which is useful and understandable for non computer expert person besides my personal diary.

Smile

My face is now cross because I am not happy with retaking exams and preparation for it. When I was on the train today on my way home, my face was cross face.
One men knocked the window from outside. I was wondering what he wanted. He wanted to make me open the door or something??
No!! what he meant was not that. Something else. He pointed his mouth and said something.
I did not understand him immediately and stared him.
He said “Smile” and he made smile pointing his mouth.
After the train left the station, I made smile on my own.

family of "torment"

Theseday I am studying for retaking exams. It is so hard.
I know I am not a excellent sudent however I still studied thought.

Everyday I just go to Uni and study.
Of course sometimes I communicate with students who also retaking exams or the students who I asked to help me and check my sample answers.
However basically I am on my own.
It is a kind of torment, isn’t it.
I am screaming and crying in my mind.
I check the online thesaurus for the similer meaning of "torment".
There is the family of "torment" below
************************************************************
affliction, agony, anguish, annoyance, bane, bother, excruciation, harassment, hell, irritation, misery, nag, nagging, nuisance, pain, persecution, pest, plague, provocation, rack, scourge, suffering, torture, trouble, vexation, worry
************************************************************
There are many words I can express how I feel. So nice.
My favorite is “torture”.
I know some words within the list but not all. If I would have grown in England, I would be supposed to know most of them?
I will finish the retaking exams 25th august. What save me deep depress is ideas what I will do after.
I will go to the Carabbian Festival and Ceilidh dance and Pubs and "Suffolk"!!
I love Suffolk!
Hope I can survive this torture time and see my Suffolk family.

Avenue Q

I went to see the musical “Avenue Q” with my Japanese friends.
Well, “Avenue Q” is quite nice and in the theatre, it was like flood of laugh however I did not understand and I could not laugh sometimes. I like to be in the theatre, because it is so decorated and makes me feel rich.
Maybe sometimes people need to be dressed well and go out somewhere nice like musical.
Usually, I just wear something more modest and do not make up.
Sometimes I do not even comb.
If I have had more good listening skill, I could have enjoyed more.

“Do not just star, buy me a drink”

Today, I went to a pub with my landlady and her family.
Her family means her mother and her blind friend.
Her mother became great grand mother this year , but she still drive and dance at the pub. Actually her dance is cool.
Today I wore a T-shirt I got from my landlady. The T-shirt with the sentence “Do not just star, buy me a drink”. Cool joke isn't it?!
By the say, I did not get any free drink there although I did not expected.

Japanese man

Among my friend, I am famouse that I am mean to Japanese men.
Well, actually yes, I am.
To some extent I am elgible to be becasue I have
much much bad experience with them.
I try to pesuade me
that not all Japanese men are bad and just those I have met were
bad by accident.
However there is a small event which spoil my efforts.
I have a Japanese femal friends.
When she got home at nihgt, she found that the kitchen was messed up because of
a thief. Her flatmates were all out and she called a Japanese boy in London in Panic.
He suggested her call police.
She called police and until the police came she had to stay outide because a thief might be still in the house and it might be dangeous.Police man came morning 8 am accorning to her.
Some people talked to her when she standed outside, misunderstanding she was a prostitution.Poor gilr!
I feel really sorry for her and get the feeling of angry to the Japanese boy.
Why he did not come?
Unfortunately I live a bit too far north to help her.He lives quite close.
When I claimed about this the other day to him, he said that she seemed to be OK and that is why he did not come.
Japanese men, I just would like to trust you.
Or people are all over the world like that?
I relly relly would like to recover from my prejudice to them.
Otherwise after I go back to Japan, my life is so misarable isn't it?!

My landlady

I am living with an Englsih woman. Today I got a extremly cool T-shirt from her.
She said that she has too much clothes and would like to throw away some.
If I can find any good in the clothes she was to throw away, I can take, she said.
I found a really cool T-shirt.
It is a black no sleeve shirt with a comment, "Don't just star, buy me a drink".
This Friday, I am to go to a pub with her and her family because her son play there.
I will ware there

Horse race


I went to ASCOT!
It is my first time to go a horse race.
In Japana, I wanted to go but I am a bit scared.
Japanese horce race is different from Englsih.
Usually the place is occupied with men with smell of beer and tabaco while
English horse race is more elegant and have dress code.
I found out horse race is enjoyable.
After the race I saw horses closely and some of them have a sad face.
Do they understand they lost?
My friends said that they can understand.
I bet £2 for a Japanese horse, Hart's cry, but unfortunately he was third.
