Photo Time Capsule January 8th to January 22nd, 2011
My latests time capsule.
Smudge
This is Smudge, she doesn’t get nearly as much love as she deserves. Shes a very special cat. She never meows, only squeaks. Every single time you touch her, she squeaks or makes some sort of grumpy hrumph noise.
She’s been a very lonely cat recently and cries all night every night. So during the day she’s extra affectionate. She’s started giving me hi-fives and insists on holding my hand all the time. Its adorable if a little painful sometimes!
Hatchi iPhone app
I have this habit of searching the app store every other week for certain keywords*. One of those keywords is ‘tamagotchi’. Today I won at app store!!
I’ve always loved tamagotchi’s in fact I got a little too excited when I recently bought a japanese magazine and saw an advert for the new colour screen tamagotchis!!
*the other keywords are ‘japanese’ and ‘pokemon’ !!
Christmas 2011
Better late than never!
The christmas tree 
Family Trivia cards that came with the crackers! I got all the family ones, my mum won at food and my dad won at general interest!
Dinner on christmas eve. The most amazing fillet of beef!
I traumatised the cat on christmas morning. This was my first christmas without Prin.
Christmas cards/presents. Mog the cat!! best christmas present ever!
Christmas dinner with the Family.
My new second cousin. Its much better when you can hand them to someone else when they start crying!
Not pictured is me in various unflattering positions playing xbox kinect! So unsexy.
Yasai Gyoza
I made my favourite yasai gyoza the other month. I had to take drastic measures because wagamama’s has changed the way they make them so their like the duck gyoza and deep fried and crispy and not crispy/chewy like these ones. 
Japanese Greetings
I’ve been learning Japanese. I’m not particularly good at it, I really need to do some for an hour every day but I’m just not that committed! I’ve just finished Hiragana but there are still a few annoying characters I get confused about! In particular ne (ね) re (れ) and wa (わ) not to mention sa (さ) and Chi (ち)!
A very nice Japanese friend of my mums has lent me some japanese books! Aimed at 7-12 year olds. They are hard! But I whenever I learn languages I always fall down on vocab so without further ado here is my first list of vocab to learn!
- おはよう ございます (ohayou gozaimasu) – Good Morning.
- Literally Means ‘It is early’, so best used before 10am else you’ll have people wondering what sort of time you get up at!
- Used in the daytime after 10 but before 6.
- Not sure why its pronounced wa and not ha, but i’m sure I’ll get onto that when i’ve learnt more!)
- Used after 6 until around 3-4 am when it starts to be おはよう ございます again!
- Kind of means “we start our relationship”.
- Kind of means “please be nice to me.” or “pleased to meet you”
Its all very exciting, i’m just about to start Katakana so I can write english words as japanese, like カレーライス which apparently means curry rice. (ku-re-i ra-i-su – it takes a lot of imagination!!
