For some reason, I was coerced into helping to publicize for this event that is happening at the National University of Singapore (NUS) next week. All the really cool stuff takes place at NUS. Anyway, NUS Comics and Animation Society is having some kind of…bazaar or something from 5th to 7th September. It’s really kind [...]
UPDATE 2: I have reached the desired sample size. Thank you everyone for your help! I will publish the results here soon. Maybe tomorrow.
Good news for Odex. BayTSP’s chief executive officer Mark Ishikawa is flying all the way to Singapore to help them with their case. And he’s of Japanese descent too! (Well, actually that’s probably unrelated.) Apparently Odex did pay them after all, so I guess it was just a case of terrible paperwork caught in the [...]
Image taken from flash movie by NCH85 Mr. Siew Kum Hong, a Nominated Member of Parliament, posted the important parts of the written judgement by District Judge Earnest Lau, along with some of his own opinions on the matter. He was formerly a lawyer at Rajah & Tann, the laws firm which is representing Odex. [...]
Update: Apparently the response was overwhelming and they have already collected enough results. The survey is over! Yay! Thanks for you help.
Time to take a break from all the gloom and doom. Here’s a more cheerful news brought to you by Mr. Lim, a former teacher of mine. He’s a bona fide gaming enthusiast and frequently takes random trips to Japan for no particular reason other than spending money. He is also the only (former) teacher [...]
For no particular reason whatsoever, the lyrics section now has its own RSS 2.0 feed! Woohoo! The feed displays the ten latest translations and comes in either English or Japanese. Because the whole database and PHP interface for the lyrics section were thrown together haphazardly by me some time ago, I now have absolutely zero [...]
Sorry for the lack of updates. I’ve been reaching home quite late for the past week and only had time for anime and World of Warcraft (lvl 23 Draenei Hunter… yay!). But anyway, look what I found in the mailbox today! <3 Google. I feel totally motivated to blog now. Anyway, it’s not like I [...]
I have been featured as the 42th (ooo, lucky number!) “Overseas Otaku” in the April issue of Windows 100%, a Japanese IT magazine that also features otaku and internet pop culture related articles. Every month, the magazine asks 100 questions to a foreign otaku. Tsubaki (who is currently incommunicado in the world of Granada Espada) [...]
Spam is the worst thing ever invented by man. It is completely useless and wastes my time. Nobody wastes my time except me. At least thermonuclear weapons may someday be used to blow up a planet-annihilating meteor heading our way like in Armageddon. Before Akismet was added to WordPress as a default plugin, I manually [...]
The results for the 2006 Japanese Language Proficiency Test are out. It’s official: NO MORE JLPT FOR DM EVER AGAIN! YAY! I passed JLPT level 1! WOOHOO! I am now officially qualified to look down on lousy fansubbers and stir up intarweb doramas. The Victory Pose! I scored 335/400 overall with the breakdown as follows: [...]
Just one more hour left before Valentine’s is over, but it’s still not too late! Happy Valentine’s!!! I spent last night at a classmate’s house cutting thorns off roses and tying ribbons. Fun. I ate a lot of chocolates today, but all of them 義理 (giri). (One too many I should say. ＿|￣|O) But I [...]
