It’s like an itch I can’t reach. A couple of animation which I would like to watch, but haven’t had the opportunity to. “My Dog Tulip” is an animation feature scheduled to screen at ITFS’10 but didn’t. Imagine my excitement and disappointment. I have to look harder, having my eyes peeled for them in Tokyo and Singapore.

I had the opportunity to attend Internationale Trickfilm-Festival Stuttgart in Germany with ‘Hush Baby’. Upon Sophie’s suggestion to visit Paris as well, it turned out to be an amazing journey!

These pictures were taken along the Meguro river on my daily cycle to work. This year’s sakura trees started flowering around the last week of March and its best viewing period is around first two weeks of April. And it’s so nice to have sakura trees just right outside my house.

I am late in posting these pictures. The flowers are mostly gone now and the greens are out!

Some of you might have known, I am working in Tokyo for a year until December 2010. The weather right now is rather cold and it rained a couple of times. Language communication, so far, is bad but improving daily. If you would like to contact me, please email to tanweikeong@gmail.com or add me on skype: getweikeong. You will be greeted by my sister, aka my call operator who had agreed to help me take messages (thanks!), if you call my Singapore number. I also had a lovely photo gallery set up at www.Crushedpaper.com/photos which will be updated frequently in an attempt to keep track of my activities. Miss everyone, hugs and kisses!

I am looking for housing in Tokyo, Japan for a year starting 1 Dec ‘09. Please email tanweikeong@gmail.com if you have anywhere short or long term. Thank you so much!
