ＮＤＰ

最近、週末はいつも学校のまわりの道路が渋滞しています。ＮDＰのリハーサルが原因です。
誰か、今年パレードを見に行く人はいますか？　いい写真があったら是非このブログにも送ってくださいね。

Recently, there have been lots of road congestion near our school. And the reason for that is the NDP rehearsal. Is there anyone going to the national day parade this year? If anyone manages to capture any good pictures, please send them in to this blog. :)

加藤ミリヤ Kato Miliyah

日本人。歌手。２２歳。女性。
この人、今、日本で若い子に注目されています。だれか、歌を聞いたことがありますか？
ちなみにAOBAのアイドル　Miss麗珊とは双子ではありません。似てるけど。

Japanese. Singer. 22 years. Female.
And this person, currently, has captured the attention of young people in Japan. Has anyone ever listened to her songs?
By the way, she is NOT the twin sister of AOBA's idol Miss Lishan. It's just that both of them look extremely similar.

シンガポールのおもしろい言葉 Interesting phrases found in Singapore

｢ヤヤ パパイヤ｣という言葉をきのう学生から教えてもらいました。
｢ケーポー｣とか、｢キアッシー｣とか、シンガポールの言葉ってかなりカワイイ響きです。
もっともっと知りたい♡

[YAYA PAPAYA]- (Referring to someone arrogant who likes to look down on other people), that was a certain phrase I learnt from my students.

And this is an illustration one of our students drew. Awesome isn't? Making an equation out of the phrase. Cool!

[KayPo]- (Referring to a busy body), [Kia Si]- (A coward). These are what I learnt from my students during class.
The pronunciations and sound effects of these words are very interesting & funny and I'm currently very interested in knowing more of them.

Anyone who has such words/phrases to share? Kindly tell me more about it! =D

旅行＊お土産 Japan Trip ＊Souvenirs

旅行に行って、お土産を買いまくるのは日本人だけだと思っていましたが・・・。
シンガポールの人も買い物がとても好きなんですね。

All along I thought that the ones who have the tendency to buy lots of omiyage (Souvenirs) from trips are always the Japanese. But...
Singaporeans proved to be huge omiyage fans too. They love to shop don't they?

-Content by Tsuchiya sensei

The following is a picture of the amount of omiyage ONE person brought back from the trip.
