staticxtreme when? I'm planning nozawa onsen 2-4 feb. I booked those refundable accommodation though so see how closer to time whether to go or not.

Both also I facepalm also.

In the first story, niaseng, go and do some part time job lar. Throughout my entire university days I do 20 hours a week part time during class season, and full time work during winter and summer breaks. But of course Malaysian student "kerja sambilan bukan budaya kita"

Second story also facepalm. If a university wants to make an international trip mandatory ... but only give rm5000 subsidy for 20 people (i.e. rm250/pax) ... seriously wtf?!?!?! also

Anyway I got to add some Japan info here, otherwise sure kena fucuk by daikor RC.
