On the flight from Fukuoka to Singapore, I was really, really looking forward to watching Maleficient. Unfortunately, they haven’t gotten it yet, so I ended up watching a couple of movies that I didn’t even know about. One of them was 白雪姫殺人事件 (Shirayuki hime satsujin jiken – Snow White Murder Case). Screenshot from the official site… Read More Movie Review: 白雪姫殺人事件 (Snow White Murder Case)
I’ve made it back to Singapore safe and sound, and in time for the National Day Parade (NDP) on August 9th! The NDP is one of my favourite celebrations, and this is my first time in 3 years that I’m in Singapore to celebrate it. We didn’t manage to get tickets to the parade on… Read More National Day Parade 2014
Exams are finally over, and I’m going back to Singapore tomorrow morning! So I figured I’ll quickly share about the Ohorikoen fireworks (大濠公園花火大会) and what I’m planning to do for this blog while I’m in Singapore. So, even though the fireworks were three days before my exam, I decided to go and take a look… Read More Ohorikoen Hanabi Taikai(大濠公園花火大会) + Summer Plans for the Blog!
Hari ini ujian Bahasa Indonesia! Today was my Bahasa Indonesia exam! So I figured that I’ll use today to talk about the class while it’s still fresh in my memory. So, why did I take Bahasa Indonesia? Well, I have a lot of Indonesian friends, so it’s always been one of the lessons that I… Read More Kyushu University Lessons: Bahasa Indonesia I (入門インドネシア語I)
So last Sunday, I was invited to wear Yukata and eat Kakikoori (Japanese shaved ice) by the Kimono shop. Since I don’t have a chance to wear my Yukatas very often (and I’m pretty terrible at putting them on myself), I jumped at the chance. “Dark” photo This time, I chose to wear the Yukata… Read More Yukata Time!
I was going to post about the Yukata thing today, but then I was looking through my photos and realised that I never blogged about the Rilakkuma chocolate! I bought (and made them) a while back, while they were on sale. Let me show you the box, which was way adorable. *high pitched squealing* While… Read More Rilakkuma Chocolate Making Set (Review. Sorta)
Last week, I posted this photo and asked you guys to guess what baito (part time job) I went to: And, +Whitney Yee got it right! Dingdingding *throws confetti* By the way, this is an excellent time to circle me on Google+. I share loads of things there, not just about Japan, but also about reading, writing,… Read More Kimono Baito
I can’t believe how many things happened this weekend! If I were to combine them all in one post, it would be way too long and then I won’t have anything left for the rest of the week. So let me go chronologically, with what happened on Friday. Social Business Forum Asia 2014 Friday was… Read More Social Business Forum Asia 2014
Anyone remember my nihonjijyou class? I talked about it before, even blogged about last year’s outing to Shiroito no Taki. This is the last year I can take the class, and for our final report outing, we decided to play an escape room game and then have dinner at the Moomin cafe at Canal City!… Read More Nihonjijyou Outing 2014: Escape Game and Moomin Cafe (脱出ゲームとムーミンカフェ)
This post is for +Whitney Yee, who requested that I write something about Yamakasa. So today marks the end of Hakata Gion Yamakasa. It actually has this really early sunrise march, but after yesterday’s match (YAY GERMANY WON), I really needed the sleep. But, I did go to one of the earlier events on Saturday –… Read More Yamakasa Oiyamanarashi （山笠追い山ならし）
