Meetings are like constipation. Everything is an empty fart until the real shit comes out. Apologies for the slow updates. I'm finally recovering from my big illness and starting to draw again. I was thinking if I should replace the word "shit" because it sounds a bit vulgar but the phrase would simply have no impact if I replace it with a more polite word such as "faeces". I'm glad that after eating more vegetables and fruits, drinking more water and walking more distances, I'm no longer friends with mr. constipation. I wish I can say the same to meetings...    中文版請點（更多）→

First, I experienced the massive earthquake, then radiation fears. But no, heaven thinks that's not enough so it had to send a typhoon to Tokyo on 21st (Wed) and cast a spell on our professor to release his class at the peak of the storm. So half of us were trapped in the campus while the other half braved the winds to go home. I waited till the storm was over but with a sore throat that got worse the next day. 經過巨大地震，輻射恐懼之後，老天爺還覺得不夠殘，非要來個台風到東京才滿意。而偏偏我那天有課，老師卻在 暴風雨的巔峰 時刻才放我們下課。真是他X的...所以一半的人困在學校，一半的人冒著大雨，奮勇豁出去了。我雖然等到晚上台風過去後才回家，但是已經喉嚨痛到不行了。 I struggled back to the intensive course, with the thought that even if I die, I would die in the classroom. Luckily I eventually decided not to die in the classroom and went to see the school doctor. 39.2 degrees, everyone was shocked and the doctor asked why I delayed my treatment. At this level, its amazing that I could feel hot and cold at the same time. 隔天以死都要撐到教室的決心，好不容易到了學校。幸好臨時決定還是不要死在教室，所以去看了學校醫生。39.2度，在這高燒的境界，竟然可以同時感覺又冷又熱 =_= 。大...

I was able to save some money after noting my monthly cash flow...but unfortunately... I couldn't stop shopping! Maybe I need more time and will power... 中文版請點（更多）→

Remember my Shopping Strategy at Borders Clearance Sale ? Well, if you're going to those bargain sale, it's better to go with a friend and queue up rotationally to maximize your time. Too bad if I only have more money... 中文版請點（更多）→

After 1.5 months of lovely summer vacation back home, I'm now back in my crappy small Tokyo dorm that is slightly less than 9sqm, roughly the size of 3 super single beds. I tried to take a shot that shows everything, but it was too embarrassing to reveal all the ugly hooks and what not. What I can tell you is that besides those shown in the photo, there's a bookshelf, wardrobe, laundry basket, small TV, fridge, microwave oven and a shoe rack/shelf. I can't imagine that I'd managed to stay here for 18 months already! You can check out my old complains from the very moment I stepped in last year! 回家過了美麗的1個月半暑假後，又回到了爛東京宿舍。宿舍面積少過9平方米，大概有3張超級單人床那麼大吧？我試過把全部都拍下來，但是因為實在是太醜了，所以就透露一半就好了。除了照片中的物件以外，還有書櫃，衣櫃，洗衣籃，小電視，冰箱，微波爐和一個鞋櫃。真無法想像我已經在這簡陋小房間待了18個月了！要回顧我去年一搬進來就開始狂投訴的記錄， 請點這裡 XD   ...and great... while doing laundry I found these insect eggs sticking onto my net. ...正想晾乾衣服時，竟然發現有昆蟲蛋在我的網上！ Wonderful... guess which insect is this? 幹....到底是何方神聖？

I got the shock of my life after returning to Singapore for vacation. Houses were 30% more expensive than when I'd left less that 2 years ago! Looks like my dream of buying a small studio is popping into bubbles... Meanwhile, it looks like inflation in US and in China is not any better, only Japan is suffering from deflation. Oh heck, with Japan living costs getting cheaper and Singapore getting more expensive, I wonder if we'll end up the same eventually? Hmm... 中文版請點（更多）→
