PTA fans club member can ballot for 2 tickets of any concert, so I just tried my luck to ballot for the tickets in Tokyo, Yoyogi National Gymnasium and I got THEM!!!

2 years ago during the Summer transfer market, Manchester United announced they had sign Shinji Kagawa (香川真司) from BVB(link for the news). I was very excited to see that news because United finally signed a Japanese player!
Press conference to announce the new signing in 2012.
2 great seasons in BVB under manager Klopp had attract a lot of major clubs' attention, including Sir Alex Ferguson. During that moment I kept hoping that he will join United someday and in 2012 it really happened! The 3rd Asian players after Dong and Park to be an United player. He straight away become my favorite Japanese player.
In his first season with Manchester United, he got 26 appearance and scored 6 goals. Even though the statistics was not as great as his time in BVB, he got his first BPL title and helped United got the 20th league title. However his nightmare started after Ferguson announced his retirement after that season. He only got to work with Ferguson for one season.
After that "genius" took over United, he barely use Kagawa. He is such a talented player who often play quick passes and create chances for team mates. However he was always sitting on the bench, wasting his talent. I was so angry that the "genius" didn't use him. After he was being sacked and appointed LVG as the new manager, I thought this might be a new start for Kagawa. But in the end LVG also said Kagawa is not part of his plan. From that moment I truly hope Kagawa can leave United and join back his old club who really want to use him.
Then this morning Manchester United officially announced Kagawa joined back his old club (link). Even though I'm sad to see my favourite player left United, but at the same time I feel happy for him to join back his old club. I really hope he can find back his form there and reach another career peak! Thank you for the past 2 seasons!
BVB official website also say Welcome back home to Kagawa
Some great moments of Kagawa in Manchester United. (video credit to manutd.com)
4 years ago, I was still struggling whether I should come Singapore for my Degree. Fortunately, my parents supported me all the way, let me follow my dream to study in Singapore. And now I've successfully graduated from NTU!
If someone ask me what is my memory about my University life, except from those horrible memories of chiong-ing projects, mugging for exams, my best memory will be the moment when I decided to join the Japanese Appreciation Club! From that onward, I have a lot of great memories in NTU instead of the boring mugging life.
If everyone checked their facebook, or take note about big international news recently should saw a lot of this tag #prayforMH370. This is about a missing Malaysia Airline (MAS) plane MH370 on the midnight of 8th March 2014. There were 239 passengers on board and this would be the largest international crisis for Malaysia since these 57 years of Independence.
After these few days of investigation, not only that we don't have any clue what happen to the plane, the whole world can see how weak our Malaysia's leaders are when handling this International crisis. Announced to public that the plane was missing after 5 hours the plane went vanished from the radar, different statements from the Minister, Chief Police officer, CEO of MAS, and the most ridiculous thing is the Malaysia's "rescue" team!
After the plane went missing, Vietnam and Singapore already sent their submarines and ships to find the plane as they suspect the plane crashed into the sea. However, Malaysia never send out the submarine that they bought for billions ringgit. WHY??? Navy Chief explained "Submarines not designed for search-and-rescue ops". WTF!!!! Then they spent Malaysia citizens' money to buy this submarine for what??!! Really don't understand.
All these already starting to destroy Malaysia International image, but past few days happened some situation that really made us Malaysian throw face throw till left the bone. Some Minister hired a Bomoh (Malay witch doctor) to go KLIA to "sense" where is the plane.
\
Bomoh : "All I can see is just black image. The plane now is either on air or under the sea. Its definitely not on land." Are you kidding me? Are you talking nonsense?? If the plane is not flying, of course its under the water! If it is on land, the satellite should have found it already! Arrr!!! You think this is ridiculous? There was even more ridiculous stuff happened. After next 2 days, this happened....
When I looked at this photo, I only can sit there and laugh silly. They don't feel embarrass I also feel ashamed of myself. My country really asked them to do these in front of all the journalists from everywhere. They were just making fun of our country. Seriously! No wonder there are still people from other country thought Malaysian still live on a tree.
Sorry, don't have English version
This is still not the worst thing happened. After the plane went missing, the whole world are worried for them. However, the next day Malaysia PM still got the mood to go market and tell everyone you can buy 1 chicken with just RM1. Don't always complain price of goods raise.
OMG!!!! Why you have to choose this timing to say all these BULLSHIT! As a leader of the country, after happened such big crisis, shouldn't you come out and say something that would calm people and not do all these silly things!!
I really feel sorry for the victims' family. Sorry about our Government incompetence, they still can't give them an answer.
The above is just my personal opinion about this incident, is not that I want to criticize about my own country. But I really fed up with the way they handle this crisis. If you don't agree can just forget about it, I have the right to speak my opinion freely. Lastly, I sincerely pray they quickly found the plane and hope all the passengers are still fine.
