As you may have known, Singapore had its elections recently. And since I’m finally, 21, voting has become one of my duties as a Singaporean. So, straight after my zemi gasshuku (which was way fun, and I’ll share with everyone what went on tomorrow) ended, I headed to Fukuoka airport so I could fly to Tokyo to… Read More I voted!
This is another one of those “saw in the library and had to borrow it” sort of books. And after reading it, well, I want my own copy. Unlike the previous ninja-related book I read, The Kouga Ninja Scrolls, Samurai and Ninja is neither a novel, nor does it take an idealistic/unrealistic view of ninja/samurai.… Read More Book Review: Samurai and Ninja by Antony Cummins
Ok, this post is probably of no interest to the non-Singaporeans (and I’m guessing even the Singaporeans are already sick of reading these type of posts), but I’ve got to get some thoughts off my chest, since I’m not in Singapore and can’t ask the candidates directly. For the record, I’m in the Holland-Bukit Timah… Read More Thoughts on the Singapore General Election 2015
So when I was reading the Singapore papers the other day, I saw that Macdonald’s Singapore started selling sweet potato fries today. And you know me, I love sweet potato. So I excitedly rushed to Macdonald’s Japan website, reasoning that the land of yakiimo has got to have sweet potato fries. Right? Wrong. But, they… Read More Macdonald’s Japan Tsukimi Burger + Mochimochi Cheeseballs
Since I went home almost as soon as the holidays started last year, I missed out on youth camp. But this year, I managed to go! It was inconvenient and expensive, but hey, I got to eat sweets with Simone before that, then meet some old friends and make new ones. This year’s camp was… Read More Calvary Chapel Youth Camp 2015
Read Part 1 here Ok, so I’ve finished a trip to the Toyota factory today, and will have a relatively slow week next week. Well, I still have to prepare for the zemi gasshuku that’s coming up, and the Singapore General Elections are here, so I have to figure out voting, and oh wait, I… Read More Eustacia & Simone Go Around Tokyo (Eating) Part 2
So, I’ve had two interesting days of internship, well one and a half if you include the fact that half of yesterday’s internship got cancelled on account of typhoon. Tomorrow will be my last day. And just before that, I was in Tokyo, getting fat. And Church camp. Today, I’m going to be talking about… Read More Eustacia & Simone Go Around Tokyo (Eating) Part 1
Hey everyone! So, I came back from Tokyo on Sunday (it was an awesome Church camp and mini-food tour), and I started my 3 day internship today. So, while I really, really want to talk about the stuff I went around eating, I’m gonna wait till Wednesday to do that, because right now, there’s something… Read More This is for the people in Fukuoka・福岡にある方へのお願い
Alright, now we’re at part 3 of the Kagoshima trip recap. It’s also the last part, because it was a really short trip (I had to go back for a zemi dinner). Speaking of trips, I’ll be heading to Tokyo tomorrow for a Church Youth Camp! YAY. I didn’t get to go last year, so… Read More Kagoshima Trip Part 3: Sakurajima
So, this is the book that I read on the way to Chiran. Because I got this book on a whim, I didn’t know what to expect. I mean, I haven’t even watched Basilisk or Shinobi. All I knew, before I started reading, was that the body count of this book was pretty high. (Thanks… Read More Book Review: The Kouga Ninja Scrolls by Futaro Yamada
