is what the whole world needs.

Nah. Toilet post on demand. Reader Yan said  si = choy (shit = fortune) so it should be lucky to blog about it during CNY wor. 

There are two types of toilets in Japan. One is the Washiki (和式), traditional Japanese squat-toilet, and the other type is Youshiki (洋式)-modern toilet.

Today we will talk about the modern toilet. There are a few special features on their toilets. Some makes them one of the best things ever created for human and some are just plain bizarre. read more

This is like a semi private entry, a food log of all the nice things i have tried during my Japan trip. Because it’s pretty boring (i post it just for my own reference. It’s nice memories), and some of the pic not too great, and way too many pictures, so i’m breaking this entry into two parts. In case everyone gets tulan while waiting for the pix to load.

One day TK brought me this for breakfast and i was shocked. Yakisoba noodle in bun. Are you serious. But it was quite nice. Cuz their buns very nice one! read more

Who the hell created CNY? I’m so bored. T_T

All my friends are also bored to different levels of death but we cannot do anything because we are like, all in different kind of places. Some sien in KL. Some sien in JB. Some sien in Kuching. And i’m sien in Seremban.

I finished reading American Gods. Now i’m feeling very disturbed. I try to blog abit and i find myself writing like him. I try to not get angry watching some of the local crap shows. Seriously, how do these artists survive when they only sing a few tong tong chiang songs every Chinese New Year? Then i realized i cannot not get irritated. So i try not to watch them after all.  read more

I had to resist the temptation to type “Merry Christmas” into that title box. God knows I have been doing it for how many years already. But i reckoned i have to stop being so delusional!

And i’m listening to “It’s Snowing Slowly” by Starlite Chamber. Neh, the one in Oli’s video you all say very touching one. And i heard it snowed a lot a lot in Nara yesterday.

Talking about song, you know i listened to Eva Cassidy’s Songbird 37 times yesterday?  It’s a soundtrack from Love Actually. And i thought it sounded really familiar, but couldn’t make out which scene it is from. So i spent half an hour searching Youtube for it, and found out it is when Sarah and Karl’s intimate scene in the apartment! That’s my fav fav fav scene of Rodrigo Santorooooomgheissohot. You can watch it here.   read more

This is the USJ i’ve been talking about la! It’s in Osaka. Not the Subang one. 🙂

Standard picture

We went there on the 31st December 2008, because they had a 2009 New Year countdown party and would be open 24 hours!

The party were gonna start 7pm and we reached about 6pm. And the queue line was already super long!

Night illumination so pretty!

Funky Town. The dancers were great! So cold and they were wearing skimpy dresses :/

Went for the Jurassic Park ride OMG IT WAS SO SCARY I ALMOST DIED. read more

I know many of my readers are a little confused about my Japan trip. How come i get to travel to so many places and stay for so long? I feel the need to explain a little and also because many people have asked and i have not had the time to replied. Now once and for all.

It was like this. On the 16th December 2008, i went on a homestay program to Nagano for one week, and then joined the rest of the homestay students at Disneyland on the 23th, which is the last day of our Japan homestay. But i took a night bus from Disneyland all the way down to Nara, and stayed with TK for another 3 weeks, before my visa expired. read more

This year’s Valentine’s. Two different countries. 7 hours flight is impossible so it’s gonna be a virtual Valentine’s. I don’t go like all sappy about it la because we don’t just go mushy mushy only on Vday. Like i said so many times before, romantic dinners and cheesy movies and roses are so overrated, and what you haven’t taken into account is long queues and traffic jam and overly packed restaurants. Not romantic at all.

So i am going to send a virtual gift to him! Shhh! read more

Today we are going to Kaiyuukan in Osaka-One of the largest aquariums in the world. 😀

Standard picture.

There. Millions of fishes. Some of them might be eaten alive. HELP! I hope you can save them in time! 😀

Wa this fella must be damn yummy. Especially you know, since CNY is coming. This is enough for like your entire extended family for one week. Steam fish, Teow chew style pls.

Omg so cute.

I wonder how they taste like. Roasted penguin wing. Yum.

Colorful fish maybe cannot eat, later kena poison. Ok la i will let Nemo off this time. read more

TK and i share the most extreme taste of music one can ever imagine. He only goes for club music especially psychedelic which i absolutely cannot tahan (some house or chill is okay) and i adooooore peaceful songs which is very dangerous for his driving (he will end up falling asleep).

So we end up only listening the very rare few songs we both find plesant to the ears. For one it is Capsule. They are super duper cute!

This is the one song we love to bits. Tell me if you like it. 🙂

If you are thinking of sharing a song with someone, you can do so with DiGi Music Telegram. However now it isn’t as simple as just sending a song to your friend’s mobile phone to tell them how you feel, because Digi has taken song dedication to a whole new level. read more

On TK’s birthday (also my last day in Nara), we went to a nice Izakaya and had supper.

Very awesome food.

We had some egg thing.

And Gyu Tan. (Cow Tongue)

Ebi Fry

And the freshest sashimi in the world. I’m not kidding you.

So i was camwhoring with the fish.

And then. Something happened and scared the cheesecake out of me.

The fish wagged its tail at me.

At first i thought i was hallucinating. You know, last day, emo and all that crap (“oh i think i am able to communicate with fish”). Then. I realized the bloody fish was alive. read more

Mentaiko!!!

(lie.)

T_T

I blew a breath of air at the window and it didn’t mist up. -3°C and 30°C is a big change. It felt strange. 

I went and bought some grocery because my fridge was as empty as my brain when i board the plane. And i was slightly upset that they don’t sell mentaiko onigiri here. I developed an obsession towards mentaiko during my stay in Nagano. It’s not like i really love it like crazy la (come to think of it i don’t think i like it that much at all), but it’s more like, life is not complete without it. read more

Look! This is my plastic face on a plastic card. I’m Alliance Bank’s new face!

…not.

Because everyone can have their faces printed across their very own credit card!! Alliance’s latest You:nique picture card allows you to do just that.

So exciting! You know how people always like to show off their credit cards with some shimmery colors esp gold and glaring platinum! Once i was tempted to apply for a credit card just because i liked the design (but it’s not like i need anymore credit cards). But now, you can have just the card you want. The plastic you have been longing to own, all your life. read more
