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
Before I even begin, I want to apologise to whoever looked for me at the Study in Japan talk at RI on Friday. I really wanted to go, but I caught the stomach flu after I went to ACS(I) on Tuesday and ended up hibernating from Wednesday to Friday. On Saturday, I emerged from my… Read More Singapore Natsu Matsuri (シンガポールの夏祭り)
Like I mentioned in my previous post, one of the things I want to blog about this summer would be to review the different language sites and apps that I’m using. Not all of them will be Japanese-focused, but more of a language-based thing in general. Of course, if there are Japanese versions, I will… Read More Language Apps/Websites Review: Lang-8
A while back, one piece of news that went viral was about this cafe in Japan that placed stuff toys next to single diners. Well, I’m pretty sure that the cafe in question is the Moomin Cafe, and that you don’t have to eat alone to get the stuff toy (as seen by my nihonjijyou… Read More Moomin Cafe Review
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!
