yokata is like.. 'thank god', 'lucky'. ppl this when eg..u thought u lost your wallet but then suddenly found in your bag then u will say 'ahh yokata..'

yeah lor from odaiba it does is a bit too far
are u bringing yr child to go to any local playgroup?
wow , i can imagine your jap must be perapera now hor, how i wish i already attained this level;-)

I missed working life ;(

I tot they understand chinese words? Can write and show them if dunno how to speak.

January i went Japan with my ex-company then when we reach there firstly, Wah so cold, secondly, wah the train super messy, got too many lines already, thirdly, omg, most of us can't speak their language. Overall not very enjoyable trip cos my friend (the one i trust) stolen my money, can't rmb how much Yen but i only can rmb SGD amount $165. Somemore use my phone call back SG and never pay me money. The only part i enjoy when i'm at Japan is the Disneyland. Very nice but very packed cos i went on the 1st Jan 09.


annie, do you speak a little bit of jap to your baby girl?
