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 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）
Ok, before we start talking about food, let me take a few sentences to express my amazement at the Germany vs Brazil match. It was… unbelievable. And a bit sad for Brazil, since they were hoping for a win, but since I support Germany, I’m really happy with the outcome. The German Goalkeeper was amazing!… Read More Japan McDonald’s World Cup Menu (Part 2)
Ok, so every now and then, I post some random, non-Japan related book review on this blog. Why? Because I think it’ll be useful, especially to people living on their own. Well-heeled is a book targeted at girls to help them be more financially savvy. Although it’s for girls, I think the basics of financial… Read More Well-heeled by Lesley-Anne Scorgie
One of the things that I’ve joined this year is SCIKyu, or Student Group on Internationalisation of Kyushu University. It’s basically a group that researches the ways to make Kyushu University friendlier to foreign students and give the Japanese students a more international outlook. I joined because I think it’s a worthy goal, and if… Read More SCIkyu Overnight Meeting
