Archive of my posts from my time in Japan
So, I haven’t really been living an interesting life lately. It’s been school and home and school and home and so on. I’m really looking forward to next week though. Anyway, I ate the weirdest ice-cream flavour EVER (at least, to date) and wanted to share it with you. Like the title says, the flavour… Read More Ice Cream that Tastes Like Chips?!
I mentioned my trip to Osaka/Kyoto in the last post. Now, I didn’t have time to do any sightseeing, but I did manage to eat at the Pom Pom Purin cafe! Luckily for me and my cousin, it was really close to Umeda Station (right next to Osaka station), so poor, starving me could eat… Read More Pom Pom Purin Cafe (in Osaka)
Hey everyone! How did your first day of June go? Can you believe half the year is over? I hope you do, because I can’t. Anyway, I spent the first of June in Kyoto. Unfortunately, I wasn’t there for leisure. (Also, I’ve realised that apart from that one time for the kimono show, every time… Read More Kyoto Smart City Expo
Screenshot from Straits Times I saw this article on Sunday, and my first thought was “this is wayyyy too simple. What’s the use?” But then, I consulted my cousins, who are the voices of reason, and they reminded me that everyone goes through this. Which is true, because I’ve made plenty of budgeting mistakes. So… Read More How to Live on a Student’s Budget
Guess what I did today? Well, you all probably read the title so…. DETECTIVE CONAN! I remembered that the pop up store/stamp rally was until tomorrow, so I figured that I better go there ASAP. Yay for stores!! And they had a huge poster of the movie (unsurprisingly) So my main purpose of the day… Read More Detective Conan Popup Store + Stamp Rally
This isn’t what I normally blog about, but this is too cool NOT to share. First, take a look at a screenshot of a paper: In plain English: they found a way to incubate baby chicks without the need of an eggshell. But what I thought was extremely cool was the fact that one of… Read More Now in Japan: Hatching Chickens without the Eggshell
Happy (or not so happy) Monday! I hope you had a good start to the week! Anyway, I went for my first baking class yesterday, and we made a grapefruit chiffon cake. And with this lesson, I’ve confirmed (not that I needed to), that I have no arm strength. I got so tired whipping the… Read More Chiffon Cake + Notes from Secret Witches Exhibition
I went to the Secret Witches Exhibition, and it was really fascinating. I’ve been wanting to go since I heard about it because: – lots of exhibits on loan from overseas– more knowledge is never bad– you never know when your next inspiration is coming from So I coughed up the 900 yen fee for… Read More Secret Witches Exhibition @ Fukuoka Museum
Hey everyone! So on Saturday, I watched my first local football match (‘soccer’ for all of you who speak American English). And, I watched it from possibly the best seats that I will ever get: the VIP room! By the way, before I post the photos, I just want to ask: has anyone gotten the… Read More Avispa Fukuoka vs Shonan Bellmare
I was thinking of doing a random food post (which I probably will do… sometime next week), but as I was looking through my photos, I realised that I haven’t blogged about this! The Singapore Sarong Kebaya and Style exhibit at the Fukuoka Art Museum! I actually saw the poster for it when I was… Read More Singapore Sarong Kebaya and Style @ Fukuoka Art Museum
