よかったね！

とうとう昨日は日本語能力試験を受け終わりました！よかったね！
やっぱり，聴解より文字と読解ほど簡単じゃないだ。聴解の問題がぜんぜ答えられませんでした。もし、聴解に合格したら、試験に合格すると思っている。これから祈ろうしかない。
試験は二時間ぐらいがかかりました。でも、試験の準備が六ヶ月前に勉強しおきましたね！この六ヶ月は大変ですね。毎週に漢字を書いて、文法を覚えて、日本語が同僚と話し練習しました。ときどき、アニメ番組を見ました。しかし、まだ分かりませんでしたね！残念だ！
これからどうするの？休みなそうだ。このごろ、仕事がたくさんあるし、忙しくなった。それに、もう試験を勉強し続けでいる。あれ試験はもっと大切で、必ず合格しなきゃ。それで、勉強しなければならない！
試験の二級はどう？来年受けるにする？今、決めない、しばらく休んだほうがいいね。
じゃあ、皆さん、どうもありがとうございます！
Finally, the wait is over. I undertook the Japanese Language Proficiency Test Level 3 yesterday. So glad that its finally over! よかったね！
As expected, the Listening section was not as easy as the Writing/Vocabulary/Reading sections. As for the Listening section, I would be happy to scrape through. If I can pass the Listening section (which I [...]

终于成为一条好汉!

首次亲眼目睹长城壮观。生为华人的我也深感骄傲！

故宫。。。文武百官聚集的地方

お元気ですか。

今週は大変忙しいですけど、新しい上司が始めて働くから。それに、OM部は新しい同僚も始めて働きます。シンガポールのオフィスの様に国際会社です！
自分について、日本語能力試験を続けて勉強します。試験が着くので、毎晩は二時間に復習をして、漢字を書いて、文法を覚えてします。しかし、進歩がないのようです。
このごろ、僕は愁いですけど、原因が知らない。「どの様に幸せになる」と思います。
面白い生活が向かう。だから、一生懸命、頑張っていく！

I was rummaging through some old stuff when I chanced upon these pictures taken many moons ago. I still cannot believe it has been so many years ago that I once lived in the US of A. I reminisce the fond memories which I believe will grow old with me. Enjoy…
想不到时间过得真快，一瞬间已隔了许多年。
好怀念在美国的日子。虽然已经物逝人非，美好回忆依旧。
久々アメリカに住んだ。経験が楽しんだ。将来機会だたら、も一回を帰ろう。
綺麗写真を見て下さい。どうぞ。

Invest in Cash-Generating & Inflation-proof assets II

Is Volatile Income the New Normal?
Susanna Donato, a 37-year-old Denver-based writer and editor, has been working for herself for a decade.
She’s enjoyed flush times, when her income soared 60 percent year over year, and lean years — like this one, when it’s fallen 35 percent. Her husband Mark, a sculptor, went back to school part-time [...]

6 month result

Hi all, this is the final result after tracking for 6 months.
A 7.8% gain driven mainly by AUD & NZD. CNY was disappointing but I would DCA into CNY should it depreciate to 5 CNY to 1 SGD.
From now on, I will only post results whenever I have a spare 15 mins. By the way, this [...]
