Konichiwa! I went to Waraku restaurant which is a Japanese restaurant, yesterday. I had macha soba & another flavoured soba.. + a hot Japanese green tea & a Hokkaido milk pudding. I had a great dinner with my mum & brother. =D After that we went to watch dance Subaru! [昴　スバル] It was a nice movie. I think you'v watched already right? here's some photo I have in the Japanese restaurant. Anyway, teach me some words okay? I want to improve on my Japanese anyway.

School holiday starts today!! Hooray!! but and extra one week of schooling but I still take it as holiday!! I got my report book.. unfortunately, I got a B for all my subject *(= . =)* 75 is an A.. I'm very close to it everytime but I'll try harder and get an A next time..anyway I am 2nd in class !! but I must score better so in future I can study in Japan. Half of my classmates from my maths class and me are transferred to a better class for maths.. sobs..I don't want to change!!
Here's my report book..

click on the photo for larger view.. click click !

Tomorrow is my last day of school for term 2 and I'm going to have a one month holiday! but there's an extra one week schooling for six graders because of the upcoming major examination..=.= but my cousin is coming this saturday for a one day stay at my house! I wanted to be green so I bought this pot of daisy while my mum was looking at the plants, my mum loves plants.. I had one daisy before but it died.. so I asked the flourist about some tips for taking care of daisies. He told me that I can only water it for 2 days a week.. but I watered it everyday for the previous flower.. no wonder the stem of the previous daisy was so soft.. www *(> . <)*
But I'm going to take good care of this daisy!!

one more thing, I'm quite depressed about..is my height & weight, I've find myself short because I'm only 150cm and 42.1 kg.. and that was one thing I'm quite sad about.. my friends are growing taller than me already..I've been jumping the skipping rope to gain height and to lose weight..I don't want to be short!!
I've been growing taller abit..www.. I've suddenly remembered.. another spring cleaning of classroom tomorrow because there is parent teacher meeting on friday.. *(= . =)* I enjoyed abit? haha..

I'm sorry I hadn't been blogging(:_;)


Today, I attended morning service.

I'm not a christian but my college is a missionaly school. Every student has to attend it at least 10 times per year.



This is a view from a train.

Hi! You hadn't been blogging..I think you must be busy with your homework..Never mind its okay, I have finished my examinations already so we don't have so much homeworks than usual. But there is a major examination coming up soon, as you know I'm a six grader in an elementary school (known as primary school in Singapore[SG])
i'm 12 but 13 is six grade in Japan right? haha.. I'm going to middle school(known as secondary school in SG)and I'll have to take a major examination named PSLE(Primary school leaving examination)
the examination will start on october, I'm preparing my studies now.. so.. I will not be posting so much okay? but you must post more okay? I'll read your posts too..
We'll start off with some things that happened in my family..
We are making dumplings but not me, the older ones do that.. but I don't know how to make dumplings.. they're delicious anyway.. here are some photos of my family doing the dumpling, traditionally..

This is my aunt making the dumpling, there are two types of dumplings.. one is meat one and one is plain one..they use, I don't know what leaf is that.. =p sorry..then they fold the leaf and put in the rice and ingredients.


Finished putting the ingredients, you tie it with a string and put into the boiling water..


Then here is the plain one where you put sugar and eat it.. it's my favourite one but I don't like the meat one..

Breakfast with my mum.


Lunch.
My friend came to my house to play and we had a nice lunch


A nice sunset outside my window.. the sunset is always nice.

Yes, I have a picture of sakura.

In Japan, there are lots of cheery blossoms and we love that. But it can make blooms only for a little while every year(5-10days.) It is important for Japanese that ideas which are mujou (=mutability) from immemorial antiquity. We think things are beautiful because of their finite life. I'm sorry I can't explain well in English. Anyway, Japanese may like not only their visible beauties but also that sakuras can't make blooms long time(*^。^*)




I have a lot of homework today..(:_;)

It was very surprised of you(゜o゜)Every students had to do cleaning because of some ink?(>_<)
Yes, in Japan students do cleaning in　school every after school about for 20 minutes. But college students don't. Junior & elementaly high& high school students only!(^^)!

↑This is a typically Japanese high school.（＾ｕ＾）

It's jealous that you can figure skate(*^。^*). I like to watch the figure skating show on TV. There isn't a figure skating place near here. I've never gone figure skating.

^ we made snowman out of ice.


^ I'm Jumping

^Me spinning

I went ice-skating today and came back home late so I am posting it now and its 11:07 now in Singapore while Japan is 2 hours earlier..
== You are sleeping by then.. The authmn tint was nice its beautiful.. the season is one thing I like about Japan, every season is special and different.. but I like Sakura ( Cherry blossom ) better.. I like pink and the petals is pink in colour !! Its so beautiful.. Do you have a picture of sakura? Its very beautiful!! and thanks for sharing the authmn tint with me *(^ . ^)*. We did spring cleaning in school which is our first time doing spring cleaning but in Japan you do it right after school everyday right? ... we're doing spring cleaning because we accidentally spilled some ink on the classroom floor so the whole school is asked to clean..www.. its quite fun though.

This plants are called "momiji" in Japan. It's called "Autumn tint" in English, isn't it? I love this plants. It's so beautiful.


In Japan, many kinds of dramas series run every day. One drama series continue for almost 3 months. And if one is finished, new one starts. I don't watch TV too much. I only watch "婚カツ"(=activity to marrie)now.

This is a picture of 婚カツ(konkatsu)
Story is that a man who want to get married go to many place which people could meeting with a view to marriage.


I've never been to Singapore, but I hope to go. When you come to Japan, I"ll guide you(*^。^*)

Hi again!!
I went out with my friends a few days ago and I went to Esplanade.
Esplanade is a tourist spot in Singapore.
It looks like durians but its a art theatre where concerts and musical performance are performed. I went there and took a picture of it.. Its not bad right? By the way, have you been to Singapore? If not .. you can ask me for tourist spot when you're planning to come *(^ . ^)* I'll find you if I'm coming to Japan. *(^ . ^)*



This is a 70+ storey hotel in Singapore named Fullerton hotel.. its quite a high class one.. If you're finding a hotel in Singapore, this hotel is the best.

Mistakes-
- I took more pictures of Japanese foods next time -> I take...
Took is for sentence when you are trying to say it has passed already.
Take is now or not yet. =D

I took this picture when I went to Kyoto two years ago. This temple is not so famous, but very beautiful(*^。^*)

How cute pictures you drew they are!(^^)! You are a good artist.

Oh, you are pretty（＾ｕ＾）I think the photo machine you used is really alike as Japanese one. It's nice photo. And Jappanese letters on your photo are really well. I'm surprised! I suppose it means nothing other than Japnese.


Yesterday, I went to Japanese restaurant.

I took only this picture(;O;) I took more pictures of Japanese foods next time.


I went to school and studied German today.



I know asian kung-fu generation（＾ｕ＾）They are famous in Japan too!
But I have not listened their music. I don't hear music too much.
Next holiday I try to listen their music（＾ｕ＾）

These are mangas drawn by me.. but its not really good.


This is the photo of my friend and I (In the middle)

Reply to Haruka: There are some machines like the ones in Japan.. but this picture was taken by a machine.. its quite low quality.. but I took one on one of the high quality machines but I didn't sent it to my phone..By the way, have you heard of Uniqlo? Its a T-shirt company from Japan, I really love their clothes.. but recently I went there and bought 2 t-shirts there. I'm going this June holiday to get more clothes with my friends. My birthday is on the first of March and your birthday is on first of April.. wow such concidence.. Do you know asian kung-fu generation? Ajikan? I am a big fan of them!! Waiting for more posts =D
Mistakes:
1- light -> right =D

photo(purikura) with my friend. I'm right.


Well, that's all for today.


ByeBye:-)

Here is my school. This picture was taken in April.


I hope to see manga you draw(*^。^*)! Please let me see someday.

Your house looks so pretty!

In fact, there are still lots of countries in Japan.

For example...


There are many place like this even near the urban(Tokyo,Nagoya,etc..).

Reply to Haruka: Wow!! Your dinner is so awesome!! It must be nice haha... Okay.. now I need to correct your mistake.. don't think that I'm taking advantage on you.
Mistakes:
-Dinnar -> Dinner
-Mam -> Mum
-Fraied -> Fried
Learn from your mistakes okay? then I'll learn the Aijin properly haha.. thanks anyway.. That is Full metal alchemist right? oh my god!! my brother love that!! haha.. I don't really get to see quite a lot of Manga books.. I'm actually good at drawing mangas I'll draw one and show you someday.. =D

So this is how my neighbourhood and my house looked like..I envy all of you to have two level houses.. but it costs a bomb to buy a two level houses or more in Singapore so most of them live in apartments here..

This is how my house looked like.. It isn't like Japan, haha .. In Singapore most of us live in apartments as Singapore is small but only a few lives in houses like Japan's houses.



This is how my neighbourhood looked like from my window. Its high because I am living in a apartment.

today's dinner was katsu-don made by my mom. katsu-don is on the light in this photo. There's fried poeks wrapping by eggs over rice.

Thank you very much for telling my mistake.
Yes it's Fullmetal Alchemist. This is very popular in Japan. This is made by only one
woman. She makes all story alone and draw pictures with some assistants.
