On Kikuna

Visited Ayako's house again! :) her house is in kikuna「菊名」, which is about an hour's ride by train.

The last time i visited, i didn't manage to take a picture of ayako's father, so i made sure i took a pic of him this time.

Ayako and her parents [paiseh, a bit blurry]

Ayako has three pets, Kai-kun [dog], MI chan [cat] and Ron kun [love bird... i think...]

Forgot to take a pic of kai... he's very cute!!!! wasted hahaha

Anyway, here is mi-chan who does NOT like me very much... keeps biting me :( Mimi doesn't have much luck with cats ne....

This is Okaasan and Ron kun.

Ron kun and me [he likes hair... dunno why]

Ron kun gets comfy and falls asleep on me...

Ayako, with ron kun and mi chan.

we played card games! hee hee the japanese vesion of taiti is harder than the singapore version.

Ayako giving out cards while explaining how to play nana-bridge, which is the japanese version of gin rummy.

This is a game called shichi-narabe... All the cards in the pack are delt out, and those who have 7s will take them out and place them on the table. The person with the 7 of spades starts the game. From 7, you have to place one card from your hand at a time, and count either down or up from 7. you get to pass three times. The objective of the game is to use up all the cards in you hand.
