Yesterday, I went for the 2019 MEXT Scholarship Briefing session. But this time, I went as one of the scholars and I was there to help answer questions about the scholarship. My seniors asked me to go, and since I remember attending a scholarship briefing session like that a few years back (and that was… Read More MEXT Scholarship Briefing Session
I got back to Sasebo yesterday (almost typed Fukuoka out of habit) and finally have time to write this post. So as you probably know, I’ve graduated!!! And I managed to wear a hakama for my ceremony, something that I’ve been wanting to do. +Whitney Yee I went to go research about Hakama, like I promised.… Read More Graduation Post
Hey everyone! Just a quick post to say that after five years, my journey as a MEXT scholar has come to an end. Yesterday, I graduated from Kyudai, ending my university studies. 昨日、私は九州大学から卒業できました。あっという間に５年間が終わりました。たくさんの方々からお世話になりましたので、お礼を申し上げたいと思います。ありがとうございました。 I have wondered about what I should do after I graduate (I do have some travel posts which I plan to finish… Read More I’ve Graduated! 卒業しました！(Next steps?)
So last Saturday, my main zemi was gathered for a special class. Our teacher had called back four of the senpais who had graduated last year to come and talk to us about what it was like to enter the Japanese workforce. Luckily for me, it was in the afternoon so I managed to watch… Read More What My Senpais Say about Work
Much like last year, we had our inzemi (although it seems like I didn’t blog about it). Last year, the Industrie 4.0 team didn’t take part, but this year, the Pokemon Go team did (although the fourth years didn’t have to present). The Pokemon Go team made a lot of good progress and I’m very proud… Read More Inzemi 2016
This post is for +elvira yunitan, though it isn’t exactly what you wanted (sorry about that). Anyway, I was asked this two weeks ago: Unfortunately, I didn’t go to university (or business school) in Singapore, so I can’t compare. But I can write more about my school life! I was thinking about it, and this is… Read More More about My School Life
Finally, the third (and last) day of my ゼミ合宿 recap! The last day is always a “travelling back” sort of day, so we only went to two places. Well, one location and two places. Karato Market (唐戸市場) Karato Market is famous for its fugu (I think?). At any rate, it was decided that this would be… Read More ゼミ合宿 Day 3: Karato Market and Shimonoseki Aquarium
Time to continue with my gasshuku recap! The morning of Day 2 was spent studying, but shortly after eleven, we left for Hagi. Hagi is this really small, traditional-looking town, and it’s absolutely beautiful. Hagi (萩) First, we went to go see a furnace because: It’s part of the World Heritage Site. And it’s part… Read More ゼミ合宿 Day 2: Hagi (萩) and Akiyoshi Cave (秋芳洞)
Hey everyone! Sorry for being so absent this month – It’s been rather hectic. After I came back to Japan, I immediately left for my zemi camp and came back only yesterday. So I have quite a lot of things to tell you guys, which is another way of saying: RELEASE THE KRAKEN POSTS. Ok,… Read More ゼミ合宿 Day 1: Mojiko
Remember how I wrote about failing my first exam last year? Well, I retook the subject, and I got the results today and…. I PASSED!!! (Also, sorry for the weird editing. I tried to blur stuff out, but I may have overdone it :p I learnt from last year’s mistakes and studied my kanji this… Read More Good news!
