5 September 2007 - ばんらい (part 2)

We returned to hotel, rested for a while and went to Santy (shopping centre) for shopping again. We shopped from 5 pm plus to 8 plus. Tried jeans, make-up, bought hat, earrings... I was so tired! I rushed to buy w-inds works volume 6 when the shop almost closed! Saw a big standing life sized poster of Hero movie and Perina hugged Abe Hiroshi to take the photo! (there is a cinema at Santy).

We went back to the same Izagaya - ばんらい for dinner. The same chief 梅林さん was so happy to see us again. Seems like our present caused a commotion in the ばんらい. The waitresses and clients know we 2 are from Spore! 梅林さん is the 二代目 ofばんらい. His dad was a chief and they just opened ばんらい4 months ago. Previously he worked in Osaka etc to learn cooking. He loves cooking so much. We started chatting while eating. 梅林さん is so frank. He told us that he was married 3 times and this current wife is 22 years old this year. Wow! He has a 7 year old kid but do not stay with him anymore. He said himself is a 馬鹿. He is now 34 years old and was surprised to know of Perina and my age. He though I am from Okinawa and Perina is a normal Japanese girl and though we are students (even his dad thinks so).

When I asked him the egg we ate, he said it is prawn eggs and even showed me the prawn with the eggs in it. 梅林さん also give us recommendations on which dishes to eat and invited us to come back next day for ramen during lunch if we have the time.

I took his photo and he looked so shy. Of course also showed his mischievious side and tried to act cool. haha. I like his backview when he worked, and his expression when grilling the food. It showed how determine and his love for cooking. One of the waitresses even asked me if I am a cameraman.

Perina drank one glass of beer and got abit drunk! Oh gosh, I was worried she cannot walked back to hotel. She walked the wrong direction back to hotel. Aiyo!

We went back to hotel around 11pm. I listened to Oguri Shun`s radio programme at 1pm. He sounded so different in the air. His starting sentence really sounded like Masha. Listeners wrote in and he wanted to repeat but cant have the same effect and kept on laughing. Anyway his voice sounded deeper and lower on radio.

I slept about 2.40am! Too tired to finished listening Shun`s programme. I drank 1 glass of beer at izagaya, 1 bottle of tottori beer and 1 bottle of sake at hotel. Arghhh, so sleepy!
