04-11-08 My short trip to Fort Canning

-
What a weather... The day started out looking so fine. With perfect sunlight and everything. Thus, I planned my trip to pay Fort Canning a visit. However, before I could take any decent pictures, I was freaked out by the dogs which barked fiercely at me (which at 1 point, they seemed like chasing me) Pardon me if I don't understand what they are trying to do (as in they are giving me the signal to play with them? or if they are simply guarding their lands)

The class consists of Yuya Takaki (of Hey! Say!

Synopsis Eps 1 The show started off with Kyoto Sensei being appointed to a new school, (and he was employed because he was credited for the successful graduation of the previous 2 school's notorious class. Which means, he was being given the credit of what Yankumi did, which explains why no one heard of Yankumi). Anyway, Kyoto Sensei did a good job in trying to mimic Yankumi(although with...
