Poi – Maori Performance Art

September 5, 2009 / Culture, Internet Finds

While doing one of my random YouTube surfing, when I stumbled upon poi, a traditional performance art from the New Zealand’s Maori people. Traditional poi is made of a string and a ball. But what really intrigues me is modern poi – the one with LED lights and glow sticks. There’s just something very entrancing…



Japanese Jazz: Informel 8

August 8, 2009 / Daily Life

There was this one guy I really, really admired in middle school. I have always wished be at least half as talented as he is. He’s extremely talented and dedicated to everything he does. Whenever he has a goal, he would relentlessly pursue it and is always confident of its success. In school, he had…



Maru the Japanese Cat

My boyfriend, my parents and my ex-housemates can all vouch for this: I am obsessed with cats. Before I go off to bed every night, I must get my fix of I Can Has Cheezburger and Cute Overload. And whoever is unlucky enough to be around me then would be coerced into sharing joys of…

So here’s a song I’ve been singing whilst in the shower instead. It’s called アイシテル (Aishiteru; I love you), originally sung by a Jpop newcomer 清水翔太 (Shimizu…



Christmas Cards

November 14, 2008 / Culture, Daily Life

Sorry for not blogging. I’ve had a beyond shitty week, from waking up at 4AM for work to even waging war with my Delifrance Egg Mayo Baguette (which I will leave for another entry). So shitty I was contemplating to gulp down a jug of Tiger Beer during dinner, which I later settled for a…
