General

I attended the Japanese Language Proficiency Test last year December and now the result is finally out! And I’m very excited that I had pass both level 3 and 4! 😀 In Level 4, I scored 386 points out of 400 while in Level 3, I get 384 points out of 400. I’m quite surprise at the high scoring mark especially on the Level 3 paper, because I study Level 3 lessons by myself.

I’m also quite surprise that I actually get full score (100/100) for the Listening part for both paper. This is because previously I really don’t have confidence in listening. I think it must be I watched too much Japanese dramas and movies and listening to JapanesePod101 lessons everyday while riding train to work. I can say that listening to Jpod101 greatly improves my listening skill. Arigatou!

All the hard works been paid off. Well, I think it’s time for me to move on and challenge for the Level 2! 😀

Today is the Lunar New Year and here I wishes all the Chinese and people who celebrates this day a very Happy Chinese New Year! Gong Xi Fatt Chai! 😀 Well today is public holiday so me and family members took this opportunity to visit relatives and celebrate with them. Although I’m already 24 but I still receiving red packets like a small kid which makes me a little hesitate to receive them. When I will start giving instead of receiving?

As you can see, the cute idol I used in this post is the popular Sawajiri Erika in traditional Chinese dress named Cheongsam and normally people will refer this type of costume as “China Doll” (correct me if I’m wrong). She had too much scandals and negative news around her which I think is a little sad, and now she got married already. Congratulations to her.

I still like her and I miss her. She had been missing from movies and dramas for some time. Hope she can back to the Entertainment Industry and become a good girl (and wife) and show us the great acting talent. 😀 Below are some more of her pictures. Again, Happy Chinese New Year!

Well for many Chinese people, 24 is not a good number. However, 24 is my lucky number, and I also turned 24 this year too. Here I want to take opportunity to thank my friends and family for the wishes and little gift, thank you very much. It’s a memorable day for me.

What’s my birthday wishes? Actually I don’t have really having any wishes but hope that the World will become more peaceful and beautiful that everyone will always have smiling on their face and I to live every minute in a way that I don’t want to regret. And for this blog, things are getting slowed down but I will continue to publish posts so please continue to support my blog. 🙂

Today marks the brand new year of 2009. Here I take this opportunity to wish Happy New Year to all the readers and supporters of jay-han.com. Let’s wishes that 2009 will be a great year and everyone will be doing healthy and world in peace. Happy New Year! 😀

I was so surprised and happy, as my blog was honored one of the most beautiful websites of 2008 by CrazyLeaf Design Blog. Actually I found this article through delicious popular page, then I surf the site just to see which sites were in the lists, most of them are really nice and I visited some of the nominated sites before too.

Then when scrolling down, I saw my blog was in the list. What a big surprise! It’s hard to believe that my humble blog was together with other really great websites. Many thanks to CrazyLeaf Design Blog for such a great honor. Thank you! Arigatou! 😀

Hi everyone, it’s been a week plus since I posted up an article. Last week my time was fully occupied with works and I absolutely have no any spare time to think and prepare the material for my blog. Sorry for being absent for long time, well this post is written to say hello to all the readers! Hi there, I’m still here! 😀

Last week I been busy with creating the speech slides for company’s press conference. Luckily the work had finally over and received good feedback. Not to forget that last week I also won a copy of FlashEff via HongKiat.com which worth $149! What a surprise! I have been participating several comment-and-win competition thingy and this is the first time I won something, very thanks to Hong Kiat! FlashEff is truly awesome. While the Christmas Card design competition at Foldees, unfortunately I did not get any reward.

And, this Sunday I will going to have my Japanese Level Proficiency Test! I’m very nervous about it but I hope that with all the revisions and studies I did for past months, I can handle the test well. Besides that, Christmas also getting near soon, many shopping centers in Malaysia already set up the beautiful Christmas decorations. Although in here does not snow, but certainly the Christmas feeling is still very strong indeed. And there are quite some really nice Christmas J-Pop songs this year, notably CHEMISTRY’s “Winter of Love”, it’s a perfect winter album in my opinion. You can also listen to some J-pop Christmas Songs I posted a year ago. Hope I can create a 2008 version..

As the time I’m writing this blog entry, I already found my new company and working as Web Designer. As I am new to that company, I am still in learning on how the company works. But compare to the my ex-company, this company seems to have more tonnes of work to do. And, I’m having hard time to spare out free time to maintain this blog and add new entries. I will try my best.

Although life has changed, but I’m still the same ol’ Train Man. 😛
