If we were living in a samurai movie, this frame would be a fitting ending. As we say farewell to 2008, I wish you a steadfast new year ahead. With all the changes going on, I’m sure we’ll all need it. Happy New Year!

2008 and me
Wednesday, December 31st, 2008New look 2009
Wednesday, December 31st, 2008
Spent a day working up this new look on December 30th. New year 2009, new look. Pretty usual right? ^^. Now that I’ve been blogging for a little while, I accumulated bad blogging habits. And to accommodate those bad habits, I’ve rearranged things around. Hope you like it. ^^.
Free chicken
Wednesday, December 31st, 2008Off to have my last lunch in 2008! Going to have some chicken at KFC. Might as well use the coupons I’ve accumulated from buying royal milk tea. Fast food for my last lunch in 2008? I know what you’re thinking. Why don’t I have something more fitting like soba or the like. The sad thing is, I’ve only had KFC once in 2008! Today is the only day left to make it 2! They have some nice burger offerings here in Japan other than the “Zinger”. Do you have burgers at KFC? I usually skip their burgers for pieces of drumsticks, wings and breasts. One resolution for 2000, try KFC burgers.
What are you having for lunch today?
Fusion yakisoba sandwich
Tuesday, December 30th, 2008Just love yakisoba. Especially those from my local conbini. Cheap, tasty and full of carbs. Third last day of 2008. Thought I’ll try something different. Some fusion food. ^^. Have you tried a yakisoba sandwich?
Pentax K-m White
Monday, December 29th, 2008I’m a Nikon guy myself, but this limited-to-3000-pieces-worldwide white version of the Pentax K-m does look pretty good. Even the kit lens is white! Pretty cool for a limited edition don’t you think? ^^. Saw this at Sakuraya in Shibuya. Coming soon in January of 2009.
NHK red white singing battle royale
Sunday, December 28th, 2008My my, we are already at the 59th 紅白歌合戦 (こうはくうたがっせん) kouhaku uta gassen. 紅白歌合戦 is an annual event on new year’s eve. The program ends after the countdown to the new year. NHK brings popular singers together and segregate them into groups; girls in the red group and guys in the white group. They then battle it out by performing the hit songs of the year. One of the programs that most Japanese keep on the TV when at home on new year’s eve. Me too.
Just realised that the Japanese iTunes music store has created a page with links to all the songs that will be sung. Nifty eh.
Steve Ballmer and Windows 1.0
Sunday, December 28th, 2008Just an old ad I chanced upon on youtube. I can still remember the old days when ads were screamed into your face! Actually, the ads in Sydney were pretty much the same… although you might not always see who is doing the screaming.
Watching this video, one thing bugs me. Windows 1.0 was a long time ago right? Why does Steve Ballmer still look pretty much the same as he does now?
