My First Post!!!
IntroductionGoal
I plan to research about Japan within 13 weeks.
Personal Background and Reasons for my goal
During my free time, I like to watch Japanese serials and movies as i find them interesting and is from another language that i never hear before. Furthermore, I find that places in Japan are beautiful when i saw those scenes in the serials and movie. Thus, i am interested and i want to find out more about it. In addition, I have been to Japan twice and found out that Japan is really an interesting and beautiful place. When I was there, I find that their cultures and lifestyles are different from ours. For example, Japanese people like to walk for long distance, everywhere on the streets, you will see people walking to work. Unlike Singaporeans, most people are unwilling to walk, they rather take a public transport. I also found out that they like to put in a lot of effort in designing their products and packages. Therefore, their products are usually expensive. With all these, I would like to research and found out more about Japan.
SMART Formula
Specific
I plan to find 2 information about Japan per week and by week 13, i would have know at least 20 information on Japan. I will research on stuffs like Japan’s culture, lifestyles, food, events, cartoon, etc...
Measurable
Finding 2 information about Japan per week is measurable. I can track my goal.
Achieveable
I hope to find realiable websites so that my informations are mostly accurate and I can rely on them. I would also return to the same websites if these websites are the ones which are updated regularly for example news websites.
Relevant
By doing this, it helps me to distress as I am doing something that I am interested to know in.
Time
13 weeks is the time given to achieve my goal. I hope to continue to research about Japan and know more about it even after the project.
Japanese Language and Painting
Hey! I am excited to blog today cause I have never blog before. So this will be my first time blogging and will be my first post! Today, I will start of with Japan’s culture. I have found two cultures. Firstly, is about the Japanese language. I didn’t know that Japanese language is created from different parts and is actually come from china! No wonder some of the words are in Chinese. And also, Japanese is written with a combination of three scripts: hiragana which were derived from the Chinese cursive script, katakana, which was derived as shorthand from Chinese characters, and kanji, imported from China. The second one is Japanese painting. Actually, I didn’t really take note about Japanese painting; thus, I am quite curious and want to know more about them. So here is what I have found out: Painting has been an art in Japan for a very long time and so is one of the oldest and most highly refined of Japanese arts and the artists use brush in a traditional way as a writing tool. There are also many different periods in Japanese painting. An example is the Nara period. Nara period is about painting of religious imagery that flourished to decorate the numerous temples erected by the ruling classes. Most of the Nara period art are preserved at the Shosoin storehouse, formerly owned by Todai-ji, and now under the control of the Imperial Household Agency.
Background of Japan
Hey! Here is some background of Japan: Japan is an island nation in East Asia and comprises over 3,000 islands.It has the world’s tenth largest population, with about 128 million people. Japan’s highest peak is the Mount Fuji which is a volcano. A major economic power, Japan has the world's second largest economy by nominal GDP and the third largest in purchasing power parity. This shows that Japan is quite a wealthy country!
I will end my post here today! Come back next week and check out for more interesting stuffs about Japan! See You :) Bye!
