1st Date...

walking to car park, my building, on the left

Does it sound suspend? Is it about our first date..pernah bercita2 nak story mory but i just didnt have the time. This time is about my parent's date with Fukumura sensei. He wanted to meet with my parents and have a short chat and short tour at the lab. How nice of him. Sambil2 tu he wanted to ask about the education system in Malaysia. He propose a new program which will start next year October. Japanese government will give the scholarship (it's not monbukagakusho). It will be fully english course. It is only for undergraduate course in Faculty of Science. They wanted only asian student. He said if Asia dont help Asia, who will..wahh teharu plak. So he will go to Malaysia to promote about the programme. Of course la berderu yang nak. He is quite worried and kept askine me several time. If we do such program will any people from Malaysia interested. How many will come? More than 1? I told him u can get as many as you want. hehe..I think a lot of young people out there really want to study abroad. It's just the matter of money. Since Malaysian's scholarship is limited and only to critical courses so the will to further study abroad is sort of difficult. Since japanese government will support, i'm sure a lot is student will consider. SPM student this year who are interested to study in Japan are so lucky. You will have the chance.

My love and i had lunch at home (best tuu lunch at home eating mama's cooking). Around 1.20 pm we arrived at my lab. My love need to prepare for his presentation so just my parents and i . Straight away went to sensei's room. He's waiting. He welcome's my father..and firstly he says that he is very sorry about the history (masa zaman Japan invade Malaysia). He never wanted that to happen and explained that there are 2 main group in Japan One who wants to follow the footstep of British, America and so on. The other group are the one who doesnt want to fight with anybody and his ancestors belongs to this group. Abah said, it's ok that is already history. Kelakar la plak..but i'm really touched by that. Fukumura sensei also mention among other foreign students i am the best that he has..what? seriously? i'm not that knowledgeable like the rest. And he continued, "Even though her knowledge is not perfect but the attitude is important..same like the shape of the bowl, if the shape is beautiful, you can simply fill it in with many things and delicious food in it." Siap bermadah gitu..menambahkan lagi keterharuan di hati ini. Sweet rupanya my sensei ni. Yup he never scolded me even though i dont understand teeny weeny basic thing (sometimes when he asked i'm just like blurred and end up failed to answer it, he) but i will work it out from time to time. Dah chit chat, he showed around the lab after that i made coffee to my dad. And send them home. Sempat pusing area my building je, it's quite cold, and both of them wanna rest at home. Manage to snap some pics...

at laser room (not my project)
This is the instrument that i'm working with, Tatsumi-san took this picture, tapi masa tu i'm not ready huu..

Ada story di sebalik this picture hehe, when we entered the room Tatsumi-san was doing his experiment. Fukumura sensei asked Tatsumi-san to explain what he's doing and he said "i spray polymer onto HOPG, and scan under STM" suddenly Fukumura sensei cut in and said "maybe i should explain, what you explain just now is like u assume them as scientist like you, HOPG? STM?" kelakar..yerla mana la my parents nak tahu all those term. So Fukumura sensei explained it in a simpler way and really easy to understand.

coffee break..this is the room where i have my lunch everyday, from 12-1 pm and also STM meeting every Thursday evening while weekly seminar is in the other building
the same spot where i took picture with my love October 2008

Lots of foods, jeruk pauh form Mek...so yummy..and mini dodol plus others, terima kasih daun keladi to dearest mek and ayah di kg lating.

Tomorrow is another date..really eager for 2nd date, dinner..somewhere in suburb sendai. Thank you dearest sensei for this warmest welcome to my parents. I really appreciated it.
