Cute Akihabara Nurse
Went to Akihabara in the evening. Got myself a laptop computer cooling pad, a USB-operated mini vacuum and table fan from the awesome Yodobashi Camera shopping mall. (didn't know about the place until today)
Before that, right when I stepped out of the train station, I saw many people taking photos with a girl in a nurse outfit, so I did the same:

Simple Japanese Essays I Wrote (... Like A 3-Year-Old Child) About The Twin Towers and Beautiful Women
After more than a week of Japanese Language classes, I find myself enjoying the essay-writing most. Naturally, since I've always liked writing, but a bittersweet affair, since my Japanese language skills is of a toddler's, I was incapable of expressing myself as eloquently and fluently as I do in English or Chinese.
Seeing how I could only write in simple sentences, I can only comfort myself by saying that I write like a Dadaist, foregoing the contemporary academic and cultured values of art by writing entirely without aesthetics and style.
So, here's to share two essays with you all that I wrote in the past few days during classes.

CHICKEN RICE MYSTERY Chosen For BMW Shorties' Top 10
On the 21st of March last month, right after I returned from the Hong Kong Film Festival, I immediately submitted a rough cut version of CHICKEN RICE MYSTERY, my latest short film, to BMW Shorties. I needed to beat the deadline, so I didn't have the time to really fix the short film as much as I would've liked.

The Japanese Language vs My Legendary Ego
Sorry about the lack of updates. Parents were here for a visit in Tokyo.
Anyway, my Japanese classes started on Wednesday, and students were assigned to each class based on their results during the Japanese Placement Test on Monday.

Orlando Bloom's Japanese Uno (Hair Gel!) Commercial
I was at a shop yesterday accompanying a new friend from Hong Kong, Jason, to hunt for televisions. As he was doing that, something that was playing in all the snazzy flatscreen televisions in the shop caught my attention.

The Miyazaki Aoi poster in the Subway
Everyday, when I walk through the Edogawabashi Station to catch a train, I see this Miyazaki Aoi poster:
And always, I pause a little, struggling to resist this urge to tear the poster off the wall and run away with it.
I seriously need help. Anyone know where I can get these subway posters? Help anyone? People of Japan Probe?

As I was walking back from Waseda University this afternoon, I noticed that the river was filled up with more cherry blossom petals than yesterday.

This morning, I decided to visit Waseda University for the very first time. When I crossed the bridge to the university, I saw this:
My Last Day in Malaysia. My First Day in Japan.
I tried to compare the day I left for Perth in 2004 with the day I left for Japan and both days couldn't be any more different.
