Sakanaya surprise..

Salam ladies...

How come that I am able to post many entries in a day??

It's because I don't have work to do.

I was told to enjoy seeing around Japan in my first year??and only start working in my second year..when i show my worry face, they immediately said: "don't worry..nobody do phd more than 3 years here"

What can I do, just believe in what they said=( So, in the first year, my supervisor told me just enjoy Japan, get yourself used to the culture...go wandering around the clinic and attend lecture (just one lecture in a week;p) ehehe...

So, for now, I am occupied with lectures, nihongo class and training (which only start next week, once a week). Sounds easy rite??

Ok, this post is just to show you my experience of being amazed at sakanaya (kedai jual ikan-sakana=fish, ya=shop)

My husband and me always prefer to shop for groceries and wet stuff at a proper supermarket instead of pasar. I don't have a proper reason for this, but apparently we are;p

This is the first time we bought fishes that was put in longgok.haha..

So, we chose two longgok and the staff straight away clean the fish (like in 10 secs) and wrap it nicely in a paper.

Then, he didn't pass the nicely wrapped fishes to us through the counter, instead he came out through the door and hand the fishes properly..

Here's the packaging...I was so amazed..and immediately thinking of my friend who is the BIG FAN of TESCO..hihi..

p/s:Fifi...implement this system kt tesco fi....

I am one of those who's lack of discipline. But living in a country like this, I was sort of trained to be full of manner and to follow the rules for a better way of living;)

Oh garbage..oh garbage...

Salam lovelies...

Look at this table..

This is actually the garbage disposal schedule...T_T...

Japan is one of the country who sorts their garbage started from home.

I was so amazed how everyone is motivated to do this in every single day. I was trained to do this since being a housewife at the Toyohashi.

However, the sorting becoming more tedious in Hiroshima!!!

The sorting is more details and also u have to purchase this:

The paper bag specially designed for combustible garbage. I had once lived in Tokyo..their way of sorting the garbage are the same with Toyohashi's whereby plastic could be placed in the same bin with paper.

However, in Hiroshima...the combustible bin are only for papers and food remnants!!

and you are only allowed to locate them in this specially made paper bag!It it cost me about 40en for each!huh!

Another thing, since this is paper bag..and food remnants are usually...err..wet, so, there's another trouble that I have to go through..huhu

The garbage bag ready to be collected..

Oh, another thing, the bottle.

Before you can put the empty bottle into trash, you have to take off the label and tutup die and put into thrash for plastic materials. huhu...byk keje kan??

and, oh..u have to write your house number on your garbage bag T_T...no space for cheating isn't it??

Amazingly, the system are happily followed by all the citizens.. and now..me..

I guess Malaysia should start implement this system somewhere to see the effectiveness;)

At first I thought it's impossible that I could follow this schedule...tp bak kate org, alah bisa tegal biase (btol ke x ejaan nye ni T_T)..

This system really left the city clean and there garbages are hardly have odors;)

Will definitely implement this at my own house later;)

Kitchen tedious

Salam ladies...

hehe..Surprise2..so many updates in one morning;p All thank to SCR who has taught me on how to preserve your idea until you found the computer;p haha..

Yes, I am so miserable to live alone in a foreign country, especially in which they could not at all speak english T_T..

Oh yes, the miserableness will get doubled when you are a newly-happily-married woman that has to live separately from your husband which is also the same guy you had fallen for, for the past 10 years T_T

Now, I have two kitchens to manage. I find it fun cz I got two kitchens to be messing around;p ahaha...

The thing that I noticed that is a lil bit different from Malaysia and I found it brilliant is this thing:

The sieve paper pocket??

And this two small 'basket'?

I don't know how your mother at home managing their sink cleanliness. But, my mom spare a small basket at the side and also hang a small plastic bag on the window;p ahahha..

In Japan however, they have these 4 things in their kitchen. It's a must and is sold everywhere.

The two sieve pockets are actually the cover for the two 'baskets' and located as shown.

I found this idea was brilliant;) haha..I don't know if you guys have seen this in Malaysia..But I had never T_T..

By doing this, your sink will remain clean and the basket2 itu pon clean..no dirt are stuck in the tiny2 holes tu;) hihi..

Will definitely do this when I have my own house in Malaysia later;)

Oh, saje letak to share with you guys my new kitchen. Everything is already in place and I really enjoy my own cooking (since most of the food here is TAK HALAL T_T)

Will do share with you guys the other tips that I found 'sugoi!!!' in later post;)
