JLPT3級合格!

I passed my JLPT3 exam with 92.25%! And it's better than my expectation of 90%!

*beams*

Featured!

Had dinner and caught Epic Movie with Huiru at Cineleisure Orchard yesterday. It's been a while since I saw her with her friends at Manhattan Fish Express the other day. At first it felt kinda weird cos we didn't really chat much when we were working at IRAS, cos I tot her as dao and we were in different offices that time too..

We had a great dinner at Xin Wang HK Cafe as we chatted almost about everything. Turned out that our Mandarin was buang. Haha~ Laughed ourselves silly from start to end of Epic Movie. To those who are going to catch it soon, stay all the way till the end of the credits. There's something funny at the end~ ;)

Everything was fine except I did not feel too well during work in the late afternoon and even out with Huiru to. I shrugged it off, thinking it as fatigue. Only to realise later that I was running a fever! Must have my sister who passed to me! *Roar* Took 2 panadols yesternite and went to see the doctor this morning. 2 days MC but if I can recover soon enough then I should be able to return to work on the morrow.

Until now, you guys must be thinking what's my title gotta do with this, right? Just take a look at the webby below to find out

That's me in the red oval!

I've joined the MCYS (former SDU) after graduation from university, never to expect this! And now I've received 2 messages from "Interested Members". Just replied to them only. Oh well, see how things go then... ;)

楽しかった!

Means enjoyable! Hosted a high school student from Joyo Senior High School in Kyoto over the weekend and had a blast of a time bringing them around on Friday and Satuday. Places included Night Safari, Orchard, Suntec, Bugis Street. Even brought them to Pitstop too to show them how a board game cafe looks like!

I travelled around with a few other hosts and hostees over the weekend. Surprised to see Karen from my YCK session. Turned out that one of her friends was hosting 2 girls as well. Double surprise to see Fengrong who also joined me bringing my Osaka friends around Singapore last year too.


A pic of us all!
Seated from L to R: Satomi, Yuuka, Fengrong, Karen and Alice
Standing from L to R: Alex, me, Tomoya, Taizan and Hidetoshi

It was a quite a tearful and emotional farewell at the airport on Sunday. After the sensei had briefed them at the boarding gate, cue in photo frenzy! I managed to take a lot of photos with most of the students. Their group was pretty huge compared to my last homestay, 31 ppl this time! And pretty young too! Only 17 years old!

Here are some of the pics~
Yuuka and me. I usually call her princess cos she looks like one!
Saori and me~ The official cutest girl in the whole group.
Lotsa guys queueing up to take photo with her but she asked to take photo with me instead. ;)

硫黄島からの手紙

For those who can guess the title, yes, it's letters from iwo jima.. had a hard time trying to write the title in japanese cos i tot the hiragana for iwo was just "iwo" and actually it's "iou".
haha~

Caught the sneak at Cineleisure Orchard with TF and JW after bai nian at my 姑妈's place at toa payoh. Weird that the sneak was at 4.40pm though...

The show was good! It lasted for about 2 1/2 hrs long. And TF, I upgraded the rating from 3 1/2 stars to 4 stars already. It's not your typical war film where it focuses on the action. Instead it tells the stories from different letters. From the typical Japanese soldier to the high ranking Colonel and even an American soldier! It also speaks about the extremist loyalty for one's country and the fragility of human life, I think.

For those who are going to catch the show, do enjoy it!

Later went to my aunt's place to play mahjong and I won about 16 bucks! Enough to cover my movie and dinner money sia, with some spare left!

Now going off to another aunt's place for gambling and steamboat (again)!

Happy Chinese New Year to all!

Pitstop again~

Went to Pitstop for a get together with YY, BZ and GY last night. Too bad Law couldn't join us... Good to see Eve again. She got married in Jan this year~. Hehe.

We played a total of 5 games that night. In order (I think), Pig Pile, Sequence, Ingenious, Hey! That's my Fish and Catagena. Here's a pic below we took, courtesy of Pitstop. Hopefully can organise an outing for A07/08 ppl as well as YCK ppl soon.



By the way, Happy Chinese New Year to everybody! Although it's only 除夕today.. LOLx

Babel~

Caught the show with peeps from YCK last night at Cineleisure Orchard. There were mixed reviews after the show from everyone but Weihao and I particularly liked it.

It revolves around events happening in 3 different regions around the World that are somehow related. These places are namely USA-Mexico, Morrocco and Japan. Showcases the different aspects of human life like love, hate, war, peace, racism, family, prejudice, politics, birth, death, unacceptance, trust, distrust and many more. (Maybe ppl who watched the movie can try to identify those aspects I said?) It was quite interesting to pick out each of these from the movie and enjoying it at the same time.

So people, if you're looking for a thought-provoking movie, catch Babel now~ But be warned, the show's 2 1/2 hrs long and it's not for those who prefer the usual blend of movies... =)

Peace~
