Studied @ NYP from 2006-2008. Going to join NTU from 2010-2014(?) after ORD.
A semi-hardcore otaku by heart, a nerd by brain. You tell me you've spent your whole life infront of computers. I'll ask you, do you know what's a "SATA" by mouth?
Tokyo to SingaporeWould like to attend AFA09, however, I'll be in australia until 28th. So I'll have no choice but to pass the opportunity to attend this year D:
Singaporean FoodSingapore do offer a huge variety of food, but looking at this simply makes me hungry.
After all, most singaporeans do go on food hunt every now and then, searching for great places to eat, and that's one of the many things that makes us unique. :X
File sharing in JapanWell, P2P services can be damaging to the business, however, if you look at it from a different perspective, it too can bring some cultural aspects across to the newer generations (e.g anime ^^;) and thus open a potential market for more customers/bu...
Hourly Wage in JapanSpeaking of part time jobs, the pay at KFC in singapore is roughly 4 dollars an hour, which is roughly 288 yen (McDonalds is worst @ 2.50~3 an hour). And although I used to have a job offering me 8~12 bucks an hour, I still gave it up after a while t...
Why JapanFrom what I know, I do love the japanese culture. However, there is always pro and anti-japanese people around so we can't really do much about it, I guess.
Its their own choice afterall.
Lost and Found in JapanWell, I had a friend who've went to hand up his assignment while he left behind his laptop charger in the school cafeteria, well, despite my warnings (I was about to head off for my part time job) to take everything with him, he simply left everythin...
Fortune Telling in JapanIts not that I'm particular about my future, but I do believe the future holds an endless amound of possibilities.
Maybe its me, but fortune telling is just one way of simply telling us about what may or may not happen in the future. But it does ser...
School MizugiI don't recall swimming classes (As a matter of fact, I never knew how to swim until recently) being a compulsory part in singapore's physical educational system, all I do recall was all the ball games that we have in our secondary and primary school...
Media CoverageHmm, Ragnarok 1 would be nice, other than that, I'll just recommend people to stick with stick with Mabinogi (Well, I've been playing Command and Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars quite frequently after I've decided quit Ragnarok 1).
Other than these two, not...
Japanese HomeworkMost singaporean students get more than 7 hours worth of homework every now and then, it would certainly be weird if some student gets less than 7 hours worth of homework in a week tho (Either they're lucky, or they're simply lying about it =__=).
Japanese PensionOurs is CPF (Central Provision Funds) deductions and it'll be accounted for so after you retire you'll be able to get either abit of it out every month or get 50% out first.
Education in JapanCaning (usually followed by a week of in house suspension from school) is the only for those who did a serious offense outside of school and usually it deals with things such as
-Getting into "gang" fights
or
-Destroying public property
For those...
Tokyo ApartmentsDepends on what you want in singapore though. Basic room rental costs varies from 200SGD(15,175Yen) to 600SGD(Around 37,000Yen), and an entire apartment/HDB flat rental ranges from 1600SGD(121,422Yen) to 3000SGD(227,624Yen) each month.
Its not too...
Otaku SkillsWell, I'm trying my best to polish up my drawing skills. Other than that, I'm onto engineering and programming (somewhat like a jack of all trades =_=!)
Nintendo Game CheatsWalkthroughs doesn't really hurt. But cheats, thats another story. It'll depend on why did you cheat in the first place.
Personally speaking, I do think that such things like Gameshark, Pro-Action Replay and CodeBreaker mainly spoils the fun out of...
FurikakeTried it sometime ago and I must admit, its pretty nice. Although I had to stick to non-seafood alternatives but its still good nevertheless.
Other than that, I'll usually have stash of instant noodles or cup noodles ready just in case.
Japanese ElectronicsIf I ever found a plasma TV lying on the streets in singapore, it'll usually be broken or faulty.
But if it's looking brand new and all, then I'll most probably hail a taxi and bring it home asap.
Cockroaches in JapanOne of the many things that scare the heck outta me, cockroaches... as a matter of fact every single bug causes me to shudder in fear.
Well, seeing such video will give me the creeps and may even cause me to skip a couple of meals now and then. Over...
Laptop VS DesktopBeing someone who uses computers just for the fun of torrents, anime, blogging, programming and occasional oldie games. I find laptop much more useful than desktops, but if its related to gaming, then desktops is still the better choice imo.
Bit TorrentuTorrent is better than any other torrent programs I had so far, perhaps the previous one I've tried left me with a bitter taste in my mouth (BitComet).
360 Beats PS3Well, Gundam modding's starting to provide alot of fun for me recently. Other than that I'd be willing to get a Wii or a PS3 instead (Nights for Wii, now thats a classic :D and MGS4 for PS3).
Japanese Sleeping HoursI used to sleep 5~6 hours only before hitting my 20th birthday, but after hitting my 20th mark, I'd usually sleep:
-5-8 hours weekdays
-10-12 hours weekends
Whether I'll be able live longer or not, well... thats another story.
Japanese Bunny GirlsSomehow I've lost my appetite for dinner after bumping into the bunny boy picture, however the bunny girl picture is a victory for everyone (Too... cute :P)
Japanese DolphinsSeeing myself, I too disagree in the slaughter of dolphins. As mammals of the ocean, they're considered kind and gentle plus some are considered an endangered species or functional extinct species.
Aside from that, having a phobia/allergy towards a...
Gundam Defends JapanWell, I'm sure many of us have different views (I told some of my friends about it, and they responded back in either harsh criticism or total ignorance) but imagine how it'll push the boundaries of engineering and information technology!
Being opt...
Japan Internet UsageI'd just spend my time staring at C++ codes all day long aside from PHP and C# coding. And because of that, I have to spent more than 15 hours online (Aside from designing my robot's circuitry boards) a day researching on robotics coding and ideas th...
Japanese BrowsersI've set mine on Hongfire (I tend to visit the forums on Hongfire and here pretty much everyday) for Firefox and Google on Opera, both is dependent on where I am actually. Opera when I'm in school and Firefox when I'm home.
Maid ComputerSeeing how I react to girls when it comes to body contact(I am somewhat clueless when it comes to cross gender communications, thus I tend to panic when it comes to that), I might even have trouble going near the cpu just to switch the computer on....
