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!
