I was melting under the sweltering heat at a bus stop on campus, waiting for my bus, when i felt that the person beside me was asking me a question.It's not unusual to have members of the public asking students for directions, especially when it's their first time in nus.So i wasn't surprised when the young guy sitting beside me asked me where the arts faculty was.After …

I think i'm enjoying my current part-time job the most as compared to my previous ones over the past few years.I guess the people working around us may also play a part in our work enthusiasm.I think i'm fortunate this time because i have a really great boss to start with.And he's really cute and funny.Here are some pretty random but funny moments in the office.1) The …

I was inspired to write this due to 2 reasons: first, after reading arzhou's guide; and second, i almost tore all my hair out just by choosing the last module to bid.So, i was thinking to myself, why not help those poor nus fellows who are also fretting over what modules to choose?Since i'm going to start my 2nd year, i'm not as familiar with most of the nus modules, unlike …

When it comes to the exams, people are generally not bothered with what they wear to school. Because to them, saving extra precious time to read the lecture notes is more important than thinking of what to wear. Or they are simply just too tired to even care.I remembered having a conversation with yoshiko the other day, and we found out that both of us do put in a little more …

I have not watched a movie for a loooong loooong time, and today madagascar 2 really cracked me up.I had a lovely lunch before watching madagascar 2, followed by a short window shopping spree around plaza singapura.It must have been the funny movie and the great company that got me cracking up the whole time. Because when i looked myself into the mirror later, after i got …

It has been almost 5 months since i have conversed or written anything in business japanese, and my grasp of it has become a little rusty.I was drafting out a letter for my boss today, sin …

This is a long overdue post because i wanted to give myself a break from the computer.I have lots of people coming up and ask me of places that sell good Japanese food. And i never fail to recommend this place to them - kuishinbo at suntec city.Kuishinbo serves japanese-styled buffet, and it is pretty popular for its lunchtime buffet because of its reasonable price of $19.80 …

If you were wondering why i put a "hi" behind, it doesn't mean the english "Hi, how are you?" hi, but it is pronounced as "hee" in japanese. Kodomo no hi means Children's Day... and today …

I'll be heading back to japan from next saturday, 24th may, till 1st june, for a short break.So in the meantime, i'm trying my very best to contain my urges

I have come to realise that there is an extremely high percentage of nus students who learn the japanese language. Even 60% of my lab mates at my bench group take japanese. No wonder they were giving me this weird look during the first few lab sessions. You see, i rarely talk to them at all since i like to keep a low profile in school. They must have been trying to figure out …
