Weibo

It's.... amusing to know how fast one of my new year's resolutions has already been fulfilled. Weibo. I think I've followed almost every major Arashi video/scans provider already, after spending some time on the site last night. All I did was search for a few weibo users whom I know to be Arashi sources (again, from the credits of another of my Arashi video source)... and from there Weibo did the rest by suggesting plenty of users for me to follow. Tada! All done. So all I need to do if I need any video source is to open up my weibo acct. Simple as that... On the other hand my hope of being active throughout the year on all the various social media platforms would be a bit harder to fulfil... well it's not too bad though... forces me to use my long forgotten Chinese a little... esp my hanyu pinyin. It's quite confusing I tell you. Sometimes I'm searching for a Japanese word, and I end up typing that Japanese pronunciation in hanyu pinyin before mentally face palming... other times I just can't recall the right hanyu pinyin for the word I have in mind. Yeah, I kinda suck at hanyu pinyin. In the time it takes for me to type like a 100 word essay, you would probably have starved to death.

I was reading bobblemon's end of the year meme a few weeks ago... I think that's a really good idea... gonna try and do that this year to see how many of my resolutions I've managed to keep...

But well, I was surprised to see that she had trouble with the kanji for N2. I assumed that she wouldn't, since she is living in Japan after all, and coming in contact with the language everyday. I'm just really glad to know Chinese. Even though it's so rusty now. All the more reason I should actually study Japanese right? And not just keep... bluffing my way through JLPT. Heck. I had a weiqi teacher (from China) last time, he passed JLPT w/o going for any Japanese lessons, and did better than the friend who asked him to sign up for the test. And he could read Japanese text w/o actually having learnt the language. I guess somehow he managed to pick up hiragana on his own or something...? But yeah... now I know how he did it. Passing JLPT with ease. Because I'm doing the exact same thing hahaha. You can say it's sort of like... abusing my knowledge of Chinese? Hahahaha!

Meh. A lot of my resolutions... like fanfic writing, updating lj etc... all depends on whether I'm busy in the lab. If I'm busy I won't have any time to sit around in the office and use the comp... and really, my LJ updates, fanfics, translations... Even reading all the ebooks... most of them are actually done during my work hours! Lol! I guess that's why I'm pretty satisfied with my work. Who wouldn't be when I have so much free time? Lol...

Okays... time to knock off! Till next time!
