  • Japan | Skits and Cooking

    My second to last day in Kyoto began at 6am. My morning went on like usual, and even went to school early. Ritsumeikan is really relaxing in the morning when there are hardly any students. We actually had lessons even though we already took our final…(I didn’t even bring my textbook…). For the third hour…

  • Japan | Final Exam and Strolling

    My day began at 6am. It was test day and I was super nervous. I studied for a bit before quickly getting ready and getting on a bus to school. I was at Ritsumeikan by 7ish and I studied once again with Elaine (she made me a quick study guide, because she is an angel…

  • Japan | Studying and Sushi

    My day began at 6am where I woke up to study and review. I got ready, ate breakfast and headed to Ritsumeikan where I studied some more before lessons began for the day. Nothing exciting happened to me today, nor in the class. Class came and went. We “reviewed”, it was more like “Know everything…

  • Japan | Honorary Singaporean

    Today my day began at 6am. Why did I wake up so early you ask? I asked myself the same thing when I couldn’t fall back asleep. I got up, and took extra long going through my morning routine. First I wash my teeth, sing the ABC’s in my head to count brushing time (don’t…

  • Japan | Monkeys and Gion

    My day began around 9. It was so nice to sleep in for so late. First time since I have arrived to Japan! I lazied around for a bit while I got ready to go on an adventure. For breakfast I ate blueberry creme oatmeal (yay not toast). Originally I was suppose to go to…

  • Japan | Temple Running

    I arrived to my room at around 3am last night and did not officially go to sleep till 4am. Saying that I slept in till 9:30 and lazied around in my room till 11. In that hour and a half I dozed off, spaced out, showered, semi-cleaned, talked to my parents and ate strawberry cream…

  • Japan | Karaoke and Fish

    Once again! I woke up on time! I am a freaking champ. But this morning was a bit different than my usual morning because….I ate oatmeal! That’s right, I did not eat toast and eggs. I also did not FaceTime my parents for so long either. This is because I had to study for a…

  • Japan | Rain and Kyoto Station

    Today I woke up on time. Two days in a row! (I am so proud). The morning went by pretty smoothly like it always has: breakfast, get ready, facetime, go catch the bus. Only thing about today is that it has been raining none stop…well drizzling…the stuff here is not real rain…it is cold baby…

  • Japan | Presentations and ShabuShabu

    Today, I woke up on time! It was a miracle sent from the heavens above. My dad tried to wake me up by sending me a bunch of texts, but I beat him to it. I was already awake (hah). I ate breakfast ( I bet you can guess) got ready and FaceTimed my folks.…

  • Japan | Tea Ceremony

    Once again, I over slept but twenty minutes. I wish I could stop myself from turning off my alarm in my sleep. I need those extra minutes. Other than the over sleeping. My morning was pretty smooth. I ate breakfast (the same thing as all ways), got ready and FaceTimed my family. And at 8…
