This photoshoot is freaking awesommmeee just look at how inflexible Mr. Failboat is there haha

What an interesting year it was.

I did and saw way more than I ever thought I would.

Biggest accomplishment for me - exploring and experiencing Japan. Loving it. Hating it. Making wonderful friends. I experienced things that I'd never experienced or thought I would experience before in my life.

+ Lived through 3 earthquakes
+ Saw a solar eclipse
+ Wore a yukata
+ Rode the shinkansen (so freaking awesome )
+ Saw Tohoshinki
+ ARASHI CONCERT 5 FREAKING ROWS AWAY FROM THE FRONT
+ Went to a matsuri
+ Explored Nagoya
+ Ate crepes
+ Went to Tokyo Disney & Sea
+ Went to Tokyo!
+ Visited Johnny's Shop 6 times
+ Addiction to Book Off
+ Addiction to Kiatenzushi (curse you discount sushi!!)
+ Traveled and saw Ise Shrines, the ocean, Nara, many many many many other places
+ Climbed mountains, saw 1,500 year old trees and temples
+ Saw Mount Fuji
+ Went to Odaiba -- SAW VS ARASHI TENT AND VS ARASHI COIN TOWER PUCKS (I have pics I never shared them sorry ) and saw giant gundam
+ Stayed at a ryokan

....etc. etc. etc. etc. I don't think this list will ever end.

2009 was a rollercoaster, to say the least. I'm looking forward to 2010 although it's through some pretty terrified eyes. There's going to be a big change in my life, whether I like it or not.

I've also accepted a translators position at ao_no_michi. I'll still be posting up small little projects here possibly, and most definitely will be continuing to post magazine articles here, so if you have any requests please let me know

With all that aside... I'd like to share something amusing.

My friend daone_shh I met in Japan sent me a holiday card and I received it a few days ago. But, when I looked at where it was addressed to, I suddenly burst into laughter.


The United States of Singapore America

Tsemin, hun.. I couldn't tell if you did that on purpose or if it was a mistake. Either way, it made me laugh and sorry for making fun of you on my blog

Well -- HERE'S TO A WONDERFUL 2010 GUYS *clinks glasses*

haha you definitely DID sleep through earthquakes XD;

but poor Tsemin.. so tired you write US of Singapore XD it's okay I still ♥ you. But I will mention.. YOUR HANDWRITING IS LIKE SO CRAZY D: it's like a font, every letter is written the same x_X; how do you do it?? I was gonna mention it when you gave me the letter in Japan, but I think I forgot.

And the VS Arashi tent?? Umm, I dunno I guess I forgot about it!! I was so preoccupied with TJ coming to visit, and then the Arashi concert the week after.. I dunno! XD;;

i have no idea what i was thinking then. but it was definitely after work. messed up brain i have ;P

haa. crazy handwriting implies: illegible? it's deceptively neat i'm told.. but it's difficult to make out the letters. and i hope your eyes didnt get killed by the colour i was using (i used the light blue, didn't i?) had to make myself happy by shopping at muji :D
