Once again…

No matter how hard I try, I still can’t deny the sight in front of me. Hundreds. No, thousands. No, MILLIONS! This year’s participation of The Great Mitochondria Race has exceeded 400 million participants. Damn…more participants mean more competition. Nevertheless, I shall do my best! PEET!! “ ALL PARTICIPANTS PLEASE GET INTO LINE. THE RACE IS ABOUT TO START!” ( I am still wondering who said that). Anyway, into line we go. Get set, ready, GO!

I have been in this race for about three hours and I am still wondering what in the world was I thinking in joining this race! Every participant can be seen squeezing through every empty space available in this “delivery” canal. Luckily for us, we are racing in liquid and our specially designed tail helps us to propel forward at an unbelievable speed. Oops… there goes one participant. Although our speeds are constant and the same, it is our stamina and will power that will determine the victor of this race.

We have been racing for about twenty hours now and I am beginning to feel the stress around my tail. Hundreds or perhaps thousands have perished in this battlefield. Oh, no…here is where the real challenge begins, the last stage! We have to choose between either path on this forked-tunnel. All we know is that either or on rare occasions, both has the egg. Plus, we do not have enough stamina to return from the chosen path and enter the other path. Anyway, no time to think! I chose the right turn with about 1500 of us. I have lost track of time through this dark watery canal. The thought of choosing the wrong path crossed my mind just when I saw it. The mighty egg! Only one participant is allowed to penetrate it before it seals itself, killing anyone who tries to enter. However, on some occasions, double penetration at almost or at the same time can happen. The final stretch of this race has begun!

The supersonic speed almost everyone portrayed at this last stage made me worried of losing. I had not accelerated once in this whole race and lucky for me, I did not. If not, I would not be able to penetrate the egg this far. It was quite humorous though to see them speeding towards the egg and bouncing back, never getting up again. Some even started drilling as fast as they can trying to penetrate which in the end, remain motionless with their head half-way in the egg shell and its tail resting on its surface. I did my best throughout this race and my energy is almost out just as I am penetrating half-way through its shell. Just when my motor was about to stop, I decided to ram my way through! I reversed and with all my strength left, I propelled myself forward towards the hole I made. Fortunately I did not miss and perhaps it is my size or what but my momentum was great enough for my head to enter the egg. Yuck! More liquid! I felt the shield was being set up around the egg.

As the shield enclosed the egg, I saw I was the only one who had penetrated the egg and many were falling down as they touched that shield. Plus, my neck and tail were also being detached and everything went black. The funny thing is that I did not feel any pain at all losing my limbs. Yet, I somehow felt myself being fused with the surrounding liquid and my brain is being forced out! The last thing I remember is that I was being split over and over for God knows how many times.

P/S : This is a re-post of my last last last last time post. Enjoy.

On the first day, God created the dog and said:

‘Sit all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past. For this, I will give you a life span of twenty years.’

The dog said: ‘That’s a long time to be barking. How about only ten years and I’ll give you back th e other ten?’

So God agreed.

On the second day, God created the monkey and said:

‘Entertain people, do tricks, and make them laugh. For this, I’ll give you a twenty-year life span.’

The monkey said: ‘Monkey tricks for twenty years? That’s a pretty long time to perform. How about I give you back ten like the Dog did?’

And God agreed.

On the third day, God created the cow and said:

‘You must go into the field with the farmer all day long and suffer under the sun, have calves and give milk to support the farmer’s family. For this, I will give you a life span of sixty years.’

The cow said: ‘That’s kind of a tough life you want me to live for sixty years. How about twenty and I’ll give back the other forty?’

And God agreed again.

On the fourth day, God created man and said:

‘Eat, sleep, play, marry and enjoy your life. For this, I’ll give you twenty years.’

But man said: ‘Only twenty years? Could you possibly give me my twenty, the forty the cow gave back, the ten the monkey gave back, and the ten
the dog gave back; that makes eighty, okay?’

‘Okay,’ said God, ‘You asked for it.’

So that is why for our first twenty years we eat, sleep, play and enjoy ourselves. For the next forty years we slave in the sun to support our family. For the next ten years we do monkey tricks to entertain the grandchildren. And for the last ten years we sit on the front porch and bark at everyone.

Life has now been explained to you.

There is no need to thank me for this valuable information. I’m doing it as a public service.

Know who this pretty lady above is?

Too bad I forgot her real name but all I remembered is her nickname :

Tama

She was the one who was in charge of taking us (3 of us exchange students) to our host families.

Why 1 person in charge of 3?

Cause, our host families houses are near each other.

But before that, we had an arrival orientation.

Look! Thats my bed when I was staying at the orientation site.

First time sleeping in a real Japanese bed and guess what??

You have to put a bed sheet on top of the bed cover and a bed sheet below the futon.

You have to sleep in between bed sheets.

Why?

Cause its clean.

So that they do not have to change the bed covers and futon but just the bed sheets.

This is the view from my room. Nope, its not the sea. Its the river!

Such a comparison to Klang river!

The building you can see above is the place I went for my arrival orientation.

As I said in one of the earlier post, it is SOMEWHERE in Osaka. Ha ha

Those little people are all exchange students.

Don’t be tricked by the stale image cause the outside is damn cold!

I am shivering in my jeans and leather jacket.

Plus, the wind is so strong. although the trees are stronger.

What do you see in the picture above?

Hmm… So quiet isn’t it?

Heck! They even have a playground!

Even a garden…

Can you find such a place in Malaysia?

Hmm…
