Year 2014 Review~

Good morning~
This is the last day of 2014~
The 2014 had been a great year for me, although I had to overcome lots of ‘Red tape’ and some immigration issues, nonetheless all ends well. Thus, indeed 2014 are a good year for me ~

1st of all let’s get back to my 2014 resolution:
In the year of 2014, I want to…
1.     Survive in Japan for 75 days XD [Done with enjoyment]
2.     Finish my studies by June and graduate from the university on the September session. [Finished on December and graduate next year April instead]
3.     Find a decent job in Singapore and start a new life there, hopefully on April or May. [Got one and started to work at the beginning of October]
4.     Body toning XD shed few inches here and there~ [Failed! Gaining a few inches and kilos instead!!]
5.     Be more mature, independent and brave, in taking care of myself and when facing difficulties and the harsh cold society. [I guess so…]
6.     Be caring towards people around me, especially my family. [Maybe…]

So I guess I fulfill at lest 4/6, not so bad after all~ Oh well other than weight gaining =_= This is going to drag to 2015 resolution then XD

The year 2014 had been a transitional and traveling year for me.
Jan ~ March : Nagaoka, Japan. Was a good time to me, as I get to travel and stay in my favourite country, Japan. Not to mention be able to experience Winter and Spring in one time~
April~ May: Thesis time.
June~ July: Singapore – Job fair – facing the trouble of finding job…
August: Finished thesis 1st submission, travel around Penang.
September: Facing trouble of finding job again… Interviews-got a job but due to immigration problem had to go out from Singapore.
October: Started to work. Issue with work pass, but eventually solved it.
November: 1st Business trip to Myanmar. Different environment, different culture, but wonderful and interesting experience.
December: Passed Master Viva and come back to Penang to celebrate New Year with parents.

It seems that every month of my 2014 was full of surprises and interesting experience.
-To experience winter and spring in Japan.
-To travel along Japan and experience the student life there.
-To face trouble of getting home as my passport was less than 6 months before expiry.
-To experience the hardship to find job.
-To experience being escort into the immigration office of Singapore by custom officer.
-To experience different culture at Myanmar.

So many experiences~ Thank you 2014 and also thanks to those who accompany me throughout this year.
ありがとございます and see you guys at the year of 2015~
Last but not least, thank God for being with me~

The Best Drama of 2014

Don’t have much time to watch drama, but I did few rerun of my previous favourite. And so here goes my 2013 favourite: 最高の離婚
Luckily manage to watch the 2014 live in Japan~ Truly an epi series


Favourite Actor of the year 2014
To be honest 2014 is not the year of actor. I mean I don’t really obsess with any of it, probably due to the fact that I don’t have much time to watch drama. Since I can’t leave blank to this column, so I’ll choose:


1.     Kaneshiro Takeshi 金城武 from The Crossing 太平輪

2.     Nishijima Hidetoshi 西島秀俊from ANA Commercial XD (didn’t even manage to watch his movie/drama too)

Favourite Actress of the year 2014
2014 year of Actress~ I like quite a lot of actresses this year

1.     Takei Emi 武井咲 from 戰力外檢察官 I like the style in this drama

2.     Ariel Lin from 蘭陵王 and Kose Commercial

3.     葉星辰 from Kano although she doesn’t much consider as an actress but I quite fancy her fashion style.

4.     長澤まさみ from The Crossing 太平輪

5.     榮倉奈々 from メイちゃんと執事 probably due to the fact that her hairstyle was sort of similar with my current style.

Favourite couple of the year 2014

To be honest there’s nothing in the movie “The Crossing” other than this eye-catching couple~
金城武and長澤まさみ from The Crossing太平輪

Best book of the year 2014

I read quite a number of books this year, mostly were self-help non-fiction. Usually I’ll award to fiction book instead as it is more interesting and gave me a deeper impression. This year’s pick: Villain by Yoshida Shuichi
Everyone’s a villain yet every villain has its good side.


//Music Section//
Best Music Artist of the year 2014

一青窈from私重奏 and歌窈曲
She has an unique voice, but what I like the most is her songs’ genre and also the great arranger and composer 武部聡志さん
