I finally found out where my previous Japanese language school got their material from. The material was straightforward. It explained the sentence structure and grammar rules and had example sentences to support them.
「耳から覚える日本語能力試験」はその本のタイトルです。
Loosely translated, I suppose the title would be "Learning by Ear, Japanese Language Proficiency Test".
Guess this will be what I'll use to study~~

The afternoon of a cold autumn day
But sometimes, it's so calm outside after the rain that you forget there was rain.

Waffles
The thing about being abroad isn't that you're exposed to the land overseas. It's also about how connected you are to the land you came from.
I keep getting news feeds on facebook from Malaysia and this link sticks out and rubs itself in my face knowing I can't go back just yet.
What would I do for a good waffle right about now...

Reading sessions
I would love it if I could get someone to help me read my Japanese book. I've been reading just fine because I can more or less tell what the words mean but I want to know how to actually read them.
It'd be nice if someone could read the words I don't know for me and help explain them to me as I read the book.
That's my new request for the day.

Looking for something to do
It isn't as easy as it sounds. For the very accomplished it may seem absurd to not be able to find something to do.
No. To not be able to find something to do is simply impossible.
There's always something to do. People to meet. Deadlines. Work. Chores. Hobbies.
There's always something that needs to be done.
What's your motivation? Why do you do them? What makes you do what you do?
Why do you need to do what you do? What are you accomplishing? What end result are you seeking? What is the goal?
There's always something to be done. But looking for something to do, isn't so easy.
I need a reason to take the next step but there's no motivation. No reason. No real reason. No risk or benefit involved.
I just need something to do.

Mendeley Collections
Mendeley is an awesome reference manager. It works across various platforms and is able to sync your library over different machines. Even if the machine you're using doesn't have Mendeley, you can still easily access your references through Mendeley web.
Adding references to Mendeley is easy and pain free. The problem with Mendeley though is if you want to bring your library with you everywhere.
I can't seem to get the software to load fast on my school's workstation because every time I load Mendeley, it's the "first time" it loads. That means it automatically starts importing all the pdf files I have uploaded to the web.
At first I thought I'd work around that by keeping my pdf collection on dropbox and manage them through Mendeley. That worked but the problem is, the program still tries to download the entire database of PDFs even when they are already in my computer.
That just sucks.
So, I've decided not to load any PDFs at all. I turned the function off. Now Mendeley works just fine for me.
I use it to manage references and when I need my PDFs I can simply click "add pdf" and it'll be where I expect it to be. No harm done. Would be nice if it's automatic but I guess nothing in this world is perfect.

Racism
People need to look up the term "racism" before they use it every time they hear the word "race". What most people consider racism nowadays is nothing more than the appreciation of one's own culture and ancestry. Just because you're uncomfortable hearing someone say "oh so you're Chinese" doesn't make it racism. It's demeaning to yourself to believe that you're being insulted when there was no injury. Are we really so weak and fragile that the "possibility of being injured" or that "because that could have been hurtful" we have to defend ourselves immediately and call the offending person names? Does that give us the right to judge them for merely stating a fact? If you're Chinese you're Chinese. If you're Asian you're Asian.
Racism happens when a person is prejudiced or discriminated or antagonized directly because of their race. When someone merely mentions that you're of Asian descent, it does not make that person racist. Replace "Chinese" or "Asian" with any other race you can think of.
I just get so annoyed when I read a perfectly wonderful article that gives me hope that humanity hasn't forgotten how to be humane and the first comment that appears right under it calls the author racist for mentioning the word "black" or "Hispanic" or "Asian", saying things like "there should be no such thing as race" or "I don't care about what race people are and this article shouldn't even have mentioned it". Come on people! Do you really have to feel offended for no reason? If the author or if the speaker is trying to appear superior or trying to antagonize the race, sure. If you are being denied of a benefit or classified for a different set of treatment, sure. Fine. But if it's mentioning a specific event for a very specific group of people that has named that said event after their own culture, how is describing all that racist?
Well. I enjoy being a Malaysian Chinese very much and a lot about me has to do with my identity as a Malaysian and as a Malaysian Chinese. I'm not China Chinese but we can have a good long conversation about that.
I guess what I really want to say is, you are who you are and no one can change that. Nothing anyone says can hurt you or change your entire being because no one on earth holds that much power over you.

Venturesome
The adjective venturesome describes someone who is willing to take risks, someone brave. If you have a venturesome child, you may worry because she's the one you find on top of the playhouse instead of inside it.
The root word of venturesome is venture, and venture is short for aventure, which is a form of adventure, which we understand to be an interesting or exciting experience. Some people are more venturesome than others. You may thrive on mountain climbing or going to the top of the Eiffel Tower, or your idea of adventure may be occasionally trying a strawberry jelly with your peanut butter instead of grape.
How can you not enjoy the company of a venturesome person? It's an awesome thing!

Loquacious
A loquacious person talks a lot, often about stuff that only they think is interesting. You can also call them chatty or gabby, but either way, they're loquacious.
Whenever you see the Latin loqu-, you can be sure that the word has something to do with "talking." So a loquacious person is a person who talks a lot, and often too much. Sitting next to a loquacious person at a dinner party can make dinner a real drag. Of course, if you've got nothing to say, a loquacious person might make a good dinner companion, because they'll do all the talking. All you will have to do is smile and eat.
Loquacious people are awesome. I never have as much as they would to say so knowing that they exist makes me happy.

How to Split Tables in Google Docs
I recently made an attempt at video-making. If you'd like to see the video version of this very simple tutorial, click here.
(Edited April 23, 2016.)
*****
I have recently started to seriously use Google Drive for my job and was quite upset at first when I found out that making tables in Google Docs isn't as easy or straightforward as in Microsoft Word.
One of the problems I had was with splitting tables. Especially across pages. I finally found out how to do it.
All you have to do is to highlight the part of the table you want to split and drag it to an empty space above or below the original table. Drag and drop! By doing a simple drag and drop, you can finally split a table in Google Docs easily!
Step 1: Highlight all cells from the point you want to split. (I.e., if you want to split the bottom half of a table from the top half of a 2x4 table, highlight the bottom 4 cells.)
Step 2: Click and hold on the cells you have highlighted and drag to an empty space at the bottom of the table. (Use the "enter" key to create the empty space. A minimum space of 3 empty lines will result in an effective split.)
Step 3: Observe that your table has miraculously split!

Romans 13:9-10
“The commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not covet,” and whatever other command there may be, are summed up in this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.”
Sometimes...
... the truth slaps you in the face and you feel helpless in its wake.
Well, The Truth is waiting for you to wake up and realize that some things aren't what you think it is.
Get over it!
Part of My School Getting Destroyed
... For better things.
The school has been under renovation for awhile now and the new buildings look amazing!
I can't wait till they're ready and I can't wait till the school tells us we can move to a bigger laboratory to accommodate our growing numbers (both members and equipment).

Power Sleep App
Your phone probably has a good deal of processing power and when you're not awake, its idle state may be put to good use.
Read about the power sleep app here: Quartz on Now your phone can fight cancer!
It only applies to Android phones (not the iOS) and only works when your phone is plugged in and on WiFi. (So there's apparently nothing to worry about extra data transfer costs.) What you're doing with this app is to "donate" your phone's processing power to research programs while it's idle. Think of it as one part of a million processors that is working for a super computer.
Not a bad idea on the part of the researchers. I might be tempted to assist if android phones didn't require so much battery power during the day.
If you're interested, here's a link to the download site: Power Sleep App

Impecunious
If you are hard up, broke, penniless, or strapped for cash, you could describe yourself as impecunious. Then maybe you could make some money teaching vocabulary words.
Impecunious comes from the old Latin word for money, pecunia, combined with the prefix im, meaning not or without. But impecunious doesn’t just mean having no money. It means that you almost never have any money. If you go into the arts, you are most likely facing an impecunious future. If you gamble away your cash instead of saving it for rent, your landlord might throw you out for being impecunious.
A challenge by Vocabulary.com.
There are days when I feel that I am impecunious but I'd like to believe that I am nowhere near this dire state.

Pasquinade
A pasquinade is a satire, usually done in writing and posted in public. A skit, flyer, or cartoon can be a pasquinade — as long as its intent is to mock or ridicule something or someone.
You can find examples of modern pasquinades on late night television political sketches and in newspaper political cartoons that mercilessly make fun of public figures. Today, you’re probably more likely to use a synonym for pasquinade, such as lampoon or satire. But neither of those words can say they got their name from Pasquino, a 500 year-old statue in Rome where people posted lampoons and satirical poems.
A challenge from Vocabulary.com. I just started using this site. It has fascinating words that makes you wonder about what you truly know of the world around you.

Online Jobs for the International Student Living in Japan
As an international student with a college visa and a work permit, you can only work up to 8 hours a day during vacation or 28 hours a week at any other time (that's 4 hours a day). If you're like me, a graduate student who works from 9.30am to 7pm in a laboratory (usually interpreted as 9am to 7.30pm), you won't be able to take up normal part time jobs available to most people living in Japan. So, that sorts of narrows down your options to midnight jobs, online jobs, or tutoring jobs. Now, I can't work as a tutor in Japan since I have no knowledge of Japanese schools or their education system. (I can't teach English very well unless people don't mind me drilling the language into their heads.) Midnight jobs are quite acceptable actually but I have reached a point in life when I can't seem to go without sleep anymore. So! That leaves me with online jobs. I managed to snag one and I hope it'll pay well. I've also considered other jobs but have not started on them. (Perhaps the lack of motivation is what's driving me to the point of 'cashlessness'.)
These are some sites that may be of interest to you (whether you're living in or outside of Japan). They're online jobs so you can do them as long as you own a computer (and since you're reading this blog, I'm assuming you own one).
Translation jobs
The following sites are for translators. They're mostly Japanese-English jobs but there's quite a few other language pairs. (Chinese-English for starters, something I'm considering if there aren't enough Japanese-English jobs to do.)
+ Minna no Hon'yaku +
You start off as a Level 1 translator paid 0.9 yen per character translated but after 2500 characters you get evaluated to see if you're qualified to level up. Prices and bonuses paid increases with each level. The type of translations you will be doing are mainly product descriptions but as you level up and are more confident with your skills there are news articles, blog entries, and other more challenging texts.
+ Gengo +
Basic pay begins at USD0.03 per character so it pays rather well. But the tests you have to pass are quite difficult. The articles you have to translate on this site are usually of a certain level of difficulty so you need to be confident in your skills to work here.
+ Translator Base +
A paid, out-sourcing website for freelancing translators. Not exactly a steady source of income. You have to bid for jobs here and you actually pay for a subscription to this website to get better jobs.
Freelancers: Online Projects
Project based work paid hourly or per project for freelancers.
+ oDesk +
+ elance +
Tutoring
Yeah, I know I said I can't tutor but I decided to try anyway.
+ A Power Academy +
Long term teachers only.
Teacher-Student Matching Service
These sites are basically for teachers to advertise themselves and for students to look for teachers. They're mostly promoting language tutors so... who knows.

Mostly actual work but you can search for part-time jobs aimed at foreigners too.
+ Baito College +

+ Work in Japan +
A free site for employers to post jobs.
+ Craigslist: Tokyo Classifieds +
Not sure if this is a reliable source but like any other online site, just be careful and wary. Don't give out your personal information or anything compromising and you should be fine. This site doesn't just advertise jobs but it's basically for people to buy and sell stuff too.

Feature Request: Automatically Save Web Content
Maybe it already exists, maybe it's just a worthless dream, but I really hope that there's an app or software for this.
I'm an amateur translator who can only translate Japanese to English or Mandarin to English. Because I'm an amateur I often have to look up words in dictionaries to check if my translation was correct. While this isn't difficult, with many awesome online dictionaries available, I would like to actually be able to save the results I found. For future reference.
Why would that be important?
Well, I love learning new languages and increasing my vocabulary would be a lot easier if I can just remember the words I just learnt. The problem is, in order to do that, I have to constantly copy and paste words from the dictionary result into another document before I can process the words. (I create CSV and TXT files to import into flashcard programs such as AnyMemo or Mnemosyne.)
So I would love it if there's a program out there that would help me download the dictionary results I found into a text file or something.
That reminds me, if there's a software that can automatically insert the exact date and time when I open a file or start typing or start... something, that would be great! (Even if I have to click a button or list the actions to trigger this function I would still want it.)
Haven't found anything useful online but maybe I will. (I forgot I used to use this blog to track good websites.)

Japan in Autumn
In April this year, I'd have been to Japan twice now. Two vacations that resulted from unexpected events. My interest in anime and all things Japan were not exactly deep. But I did spend a fair amount of time gawking at 2D drawings and falling in love with 2D characters. In fact, it was only last year that I started liking dramas and such. When the opportunity came to visit a country where everything I've read about can be found, I had to take that chance. (Europe and America will have to wait, hahaha.)
What started as a mere pastime became a dream that turned into an obsession, and finally, a reality. I had always wanted to pursue a PhD but it wasn't an option at the time I graduated. Then, inspired by a Japanese TV show, I started looking up this university. Turns out there was a private scholarship open for application. The likelihood of me looking this up and watching that TV show was close to zero before last year. So I was convinced to some extent that something else was at work here.
I prayed about it and decided to apply for the scholarship and the university at the same time. I didn't get the scholarship but the university accepted me and nominated me for an even better scholarship! How could I not be convinced that this was something meant for me? And now... after months of waiting and filling of forms...
I'm going to Japan this September!
It'll be a different experience. Something very different for me. I'll be all on my own for the first time in my whole life. I don't know if I'll like it or if I can cope, but I know I'll enjoy every moment of it.
I've never been entirely on my own before. I've never gotten the opportunity and I regret never fighting for it. Now that I know I will be on my own, I can't say I'm not worried or anxious or scared out of my wits. But I know I want to do this. Perhaps this post is about me trying to convince myself I want to.
All I know though is that this is something I must do. I'll regret it if I don't.
