日本人の知らない日本語

毎週木曜の夜中12時は必ず「日本人の知らない日本語」というドラマを見ています。このドラマ、面白いのでけっこう好きです。仲里依紗のファンになった。日本語と日本の文化の勉強にもなる。

Thursday late nights are spent in front of the TV watching a sitcom called  日本人の知らない日本語, nihonjin no shiranai nihongo; Japanese that Japanese do not know. I like the show and the lead actress, Riisa Naka, is pretty cute too. The show is quite informative too. Something fun for learning Japanese and Japanese culture.

Enough laughing. Let’s move on. ^^.

This Hello Kitty ウィンナー (Wiener/Sausage) comes with Calcium for strong teeth and bones, and 15 different Hello Kitty prints! Sure to bring a smile to any young lady’s face.

Hope this is still around when she can chew. Need to prepare my bribes. ^^.

Driving in Malaysia

Been driving quite a bit when I went back to Malaysia. It’s pretty difficult to get around with public transport so most people have their own wheels. Petrol is cheap too. Being an oil producing country, the government subsidizes the cost of petrol. I remember it was RM2.10/litre. With the current exchange rate, it works out to be approximately ¥57. Crazy isn’t it.

I like driving. I also like being able to jump into the car and shoot off into the horizon somewhere. Getting a little tired from riding trains and buses all the time. Maybe I should start securing a parking spot…

Toy Story 3

Toy Story 3

There are bad movies, good movies and then there are great movies. Toy Story 3 is, in my books, among the greats. And it has been a long time since I last saw a great movie.

Now that Andy has grown up, the toys family has gotten smaller. Isn’t that’s how it’s like for all of us. Toy Story is amazing because it’s not just a movie for kids, but rather a movie for the kid in all of us. If you haven’t seen it yet, I highly recommend it. If you’re one to get emotional during movies, you might want to bring a hanky along. ^^. I heard a few runny noses during the show.

Just out of curiosity. What happened to your old toys?

Enoshima and other bits

enoshima  001

It’s nice to get away from the city once in a while. Having been in Tokyo for quite some time, I recently long to explore areas outside Tokyo.

So we rented a car and set our navi to Enoshima! (Navi or ナビ refers to the car navigation system in Japanese.)
