Archive of my posts from my time in Japan
I can’t believe I’m already a third year student (and it’s the last day of Golden Week, where did the time go?). That means this is my fourth year in Japan, and that next year will be my last year… And yet, I still feel as though I just arrived :p Apparently, this is me.… Read More Kyushu University Year 3 Start of Semester 1
Hey everyone! We’re in Golden Week now (which means about one month of school has passed – yikes!), and I’ve got a bit of breathing room. So today, I’m here to share with you guys some photos and info about Kawachi Fuji Garden, which is a place I’ve been meaning to go for a really,… Read More Kawachi Fuji Garden (河内藤園)
Hey everyone. I know I haven’t been blogging regularly for quite some time. It’s not that I’ve forgotten about this blog, far from it, but that after the holidays where I had nothing to say, school turned out to have so many things going on that I’m barely treading water. Right now, I have 4… Read More Treading Water
Ok, I’m finally here with the second part of the Huis Ten Bosch update. This time, instead of a new attraction, I’ll be talking about one that is closing down soon. As you may know, Huis Ten Bosch has quite a few One Piece attractions. It’s quite strange, because Huis Ten Bosch is essentially a… Read More Huis Ten Bosch: Bye bye One Piece Boat
So recently, I had the opportunity to go to Huis Ten Bosch because I was showing a friend around. Apart from looking at the lawn of phlox flowers (aka lawn sakura), I also went to two attractions that I haven’t been before. The first is SM Town@Huis Ten Bosch. Are you a KPop fan? Then you’ll… Read More Huis Ten Bosch: SM Town Theatre
Because I came back to Japan relatively late, I thought I’d have missed the sakura. And I did, well, most of it. When I came back, the sakura were basically more-or-less fallen, although one or two trees were still in bloom. Like this. I’m just glad I made it back for any sakura, to be… Read More Sakura 2015: Fukuoka Castle and Huis Ten Bosch
Great news everyone! I got my internet back (The Internet guy came today and fixed it this morning)! Oh, and I may have a sibling staying with me in Japan soon 😀 You see, my youngest sister has been wanting to do two things: Study in an IB program, and study overseas someday. However, there’s… Read More My sister, studying in Japan
Unlike most ex-British colonies, Singapore’s independence did not come with shouts of joy or celebrations. Instead, Singapore was born amidst tears, and a very real fear that we would not be able to survive on our own. The year was 1965, and Singapore was kicked out of Malaysia. We were a tiny country, with no… Read More Tribute to Lee Kuan Yew
So, I actually have two ideas, but instead of combining them into one post and making things more confusing than usual, I’ll just talk about River Hongbao today because today’s the last day. I actually wanted to see the lanterns light up, but I forgot that the sunset in Singapore is pretty late. So I… Read More River Hongbao Singapore (2015)
Now that I’m back in Singapore, it seems like it’s time for the long-planned “what to pack when visiting home” post. (I was actually reminded of this by Devangi, thank you!) Ok, some of you might have seen this: This is but a small part of the things I normally bring home. And no, my… Read More What to Pack When You’re Going Home
