Wow. It’s amazing how time flies, because now it’s already a little more than a year since I’ve came to Japan! And not counting the months I returned to Singapore to spend the holidays, I actually spent at least 9 solid in Japan (: Ever since entering the a cappella circle (they call it ‘circle’ [...]

I was in shocked the other day when my nihongo sensei (japanese language teacher) exclaimed “alamak!” when only 3 out of 4 of us turned up for class again.

Remember my post about the year end party? =P (if you missed it you can view it here) Following up from that post, while the hotel staff were laying our futons (japanese-style beds) nice and neatly in a row, my Japanese friend suddenly blurted out something to the ladies, who were shocked when they heard [...]

I have no idea why it is called that way, but they are chunks of deep-fried super-sweet sweet potatoes dipped in sugar coating, [...]
