2011-08-08T12:43:00.000+08:00

You go into a food court, and you can find so many different kinds of food from the different ethnic groups, AND from

He claimed that he would guide them out using the car's headlights, but drove off after that. The

One Love - Lyrics

2008-09-25T09:28:00.003+08:00

Just saw the 'Hana Yori Dango Final' movie a week ago or so =)It was, honestly, extremely sappy... but I really like the song (it's catchy!) so I'm sharing it ^^One Love - ARASHIKanji lyrics伝えたくて　伝わらなくて　時には素直になれずに泣いた季節を　越えた僕らは　今とても輝いてるよそれぞれ描く　幸せのかたちは重なり今　大きな愛になるずっと二人で　生きてゆこう百年先も　愛を誓うよ　君は僕の全てさ信じている　ただ信じてる　同じ時間(とき)を刻む人へどんな君も　どんな僕でも　ひとつひとつが愛しい君がいれば　何もいらない　きっと幸せにするから雨の中で君を待ってた　優しさの意味さえ知らずすれ違いに傷ついた夜

20Q

2008-09-05T22:59:00.000+08:00

Photo taken from www.paramountzone.comI came across this A.I. game that's called '20Q', short for '20 Questions'. It's the name of the game, as well as the name of the object/application that's doing the guessing.The game works as such:You, the player, will think of an item, and 20Q will read your mind. If 20Q manages to guess it right within 20 Yes or No (and sometimes 'Unknown') questions, 20Q

Okaeri: English Translation

2008-08-26T10:46:00.000+08:00

This post is related to my previous post with the Japanese lyrics and song.I figured quite a few people would not understand the lyrics... So I decided to post the translation to the song =) Hope you guys like it-Some notes from me:I swear I hear "Sweetheart" at some places... But... -_-" Ah well. The part I (bracketed) is the part I'm not sure about... Cause I'm not even sure if the Japanese

Cute Lizard!

2008-07-11T14:46:00.003+08:00

My friend and I were heading back to office after lunch today when these small group of girls started screaming and shouting and backing away from something that we apparently could not see. The only guy that was with them starting kicking thin air, to scare whatever it was that was there.When we approached them, we noticed what all the commotion was about. There was this lizard, cleverly

Zettai Kareshi Ending Song: Okaeri

2008-06-24T09:59:00.006+08:00

I have recently been following a new Japanese Drama (the last episode will be airing in Japan tonight): Zettai Kareshi. It is based on the Japanese comic (manga) Zettai Kareshi by Watase Yuu.I will be covering the manga and drama sometime soon, but for now, I thought I would share the drama ending song with everyone.

Japanese Soba Recipe

While I am still trying to find a way to upload my photos, I thought I might as well post about something else first.A few months ago, I hosted a Japanese girl from Hiroshima. She spoke English, so there wasn't much chance for me to practice my Japanese (since I figured she would want to practice her English language).Singapore seemed most well known for food, so we (my dad, actually) stuffed her

As an early Mothers' Day present, I fed my mum to the fishes this morning.... No, seriously. And I'm proud to say she enjoyed it loads ;)... Alright, I'll come clean. I wasn't kidding about using my mum to feed the fish, but it was just her feet the fishes were were feeding on. Along with my dad's and mine. =x(That's my foot up there with the tiny fishes!)Yep, I went for a fish spa (for the feet)
