If you haven’t heard, this is the LINE scam that’s making its way around Singapore and Japan recently (click… Read More Beware the Line Scam!
Nokonoshima, that beautiful island near my place, had a Cosmos light up recently! Well, the last day was yesterday (and it was only on weekends). One of my classmates, who had actually gone there, told me it was beautiful, so yesterday, I went there in the evening with a new friend from Church. And woah.… Read More Nokonoshima Cosmos Flower Lightup
I’m going to be upfront with all those of you who’ve never met me in person – I am terrible at cleaning. I mean terrible. Even after I try my best to clean, my house still looks like a pigsty. It comes with having too many books and not enough space. (Hi Nic! Feel free… Read More My experience with house-cleaning services in Japan
In the past week, two major typhoons have hit Japan. What are the odds? Living in Fukuoka, I hardly ever experience a typhoon. It always seems to skip me, which is good. But today’s typhoon VongFong? Woah. I’m never underestimating typhoons again. As you can see, Fukuoka isn’t in the direct path, but is in… Read More It’s Typhoon Season in Japan!
School has finally started, and my life is settling down into a school-baito-sleep routine. Oh and golf.

This is part two, and you can read part one here (Part 1 is a guide on how I got the various Ghibli-themed elements to create… Read More My Studio Ghibli Themed 21st Birthday Party! (Part 2)
You may or may not have known this, but I had my 21st birthday recently! In Singapore, turning 21 is a big deal, because it means we get our ‘key’ to freedom, signifying adulthood. So obviously, I had to celebrate on that day itself. And when deciding with my party theme, I went with Studio… Read More My Studio Ghibli Themed 21st Birthday Party! (Part 1)
After a long, long delay, I’m finally here with the second review in this series! In this post, I’m going to be talking about Memrise, a site that uses Space Repetition System (SRS) to teach you. What is SRS? Simply put, the site tests you on the vocab that you’ve learn just when you’re about… Read More Language Apps/Websites Review: Memrise
According to the Chinese Calendar, today is 15th day of the 8th month. So, it’s Mid-Autumn festival! We used to have a huge celebration when I was younger and the extended family was living together, but now, with most of us grown up and living in separate houses, it’s a much smaller affair. All my… Read More Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!
The day before I came back to Singapore, I was in Huis Ten Bosch. Yes, again. Although in my defence, it was Yiyin’s first time there. So I was sort of acting like a tour guide (let’s not think about the fact that I invited her to come with me). My main reason for going… Read More Huis Ten Bosch Dinosaur Escape Game + Robot Ice Cream Boy
