明けましておめでとうございます! (akemashite omedetō gozaimasu!)
Happy New Year to all and I’m back after a long hiatus from blogging. I was busy with my School and Club activities and somehow I was thinking whether to close this blog or continue from now on. Got my mobile broadband in September so I guess I will be surfing the net around cafes and stuff and hopefully to post something that interest you guys. I might post something related to my club so do come back to check on the updates!
But before that I lost all my data when I couldn’t boot up my Asus laptop which I sent for repair. Death of my cousin who passed away in a hospital bed after 2 years in coma. Got a warning letter from the Army about me leaving the country without telling em my whereabouts. Lost my 8gb Toshiba thumb-drive in a bus. And more news about club members quitting the subcommittee I’m in. And most of all, I’m 25 and still Single. orz
Life sucks but gonna live with it, now that another year has passed lets move on to better things in life.
On the bright side I’ve been to 2 of my camp mates wedding, both on November. Got Windows 7 Professional for free thanks to Microsoft Student Tech Club in my School. Got a certificate of Up Your Service by Ron Kaufman on Course 100: Achieving Superior Service, made new friends from Standard Charted Marathon 2009 and enjoying every moment of marshaling!
My new year resolution will be… BE MORE ACTIVE ON BLOGGING! XD

Yesterday, I went to Natsu Matsuri also known as the Summer Festival in Japan. It was held at the Japanese School at 11 Upper Changi Road. I did something really funny and dumb that is, I walk from Singapore Expo to the Japanese School because I thought I missed the last bus at 7.15pm. I realise there is another bus that is coming from the Japanese School too and SBS Bus no.2 & 5 will reach there too. Didn’t visit the game stalls and fortune telling stalls, also I miss the opening shows and dance performance by various dance groups.
Last year, it was local animation company Odex who started the mass sending of love letters demanding for compensation from Anime downloaders who download they listed as licensed. One year later, Japan Animation Company ‘Showgate Inc.‘(Former Toshiba Inc.) requested Rajah & Tann(law firm in Singapore) to send a legal letter to anime downloaders in Singapore on Aug 8th 2008. Toshiba Entertainment Inc. is one of the AVPAS(Anti-Video Piracy Association (Singapore)) partners. Other Anime Companies like Geneon Entertainment Inc. also sends similar letters earlier due to consent by Odex.
