Monday, January 26th, 2009This is really cool. Really impressed with the optimus prime costume. It moves too! Wonder if there’s a ultra magnus costume too somewhere out there. Not too optimistic about a transforming megatron costume though. ^^.
Malaysian public toilets
Sunday, January 25th, 2009Malaysia isn’t known for her clean public toilets. However, there has been much improvement in recent years. This is probably a pretty average looking public toilet. In the left cubicle, unlike its distant Japanese cousin, the “hole in the ground” does not come with a “missile defence shield”. The washlet comes in the form of a rubber hose attached to a tap in the wall. I don’t recommend using the hose. Washlet ok. Hose no. Like Taro Aso once said on eigo de syabera naito, “it isn’t nice getting sick from the ass”.
I get pissed whenever I have to use a shitty toilet. ^^. My body feels the same way too. One step into dirty toilets and all urges are gone; it’s like nature just hung up on me. You too?
It’s been a while since I last used one of these urinals. Do you suppose these still exist in Japan? I don’t remember ever using one in Tokyo.
Yummies late at night
Saturday, January 24th, 2009A quick look at what I’ve been having before bedtime for the past three nights. Lots of good and cheap food in Malaysia. And I love going out for supper. ^^. Always have a tendency to overeat when I’m back visiting.

Extended stay for foreign students
Saturday, January 24th, 2009
Read this from Japan Today. Me thinks pretty good move for the Japanese Government. ^^.
Just… when will it come into effect?
Foreign students will not have to renew their student status after studying for two years in Japan, the Justice Ministry said Friday. The step is part of a plan the Japanese government outlined last July to increase the number of students from abroad to 300,000 by 2020 from the current 124,000 as estimated by the Japan Student Services Organization.
At present, foreigners can stay in Japan as students for up to two years, requiring them to renew their status while studying if they attend a four-year college, for example. The ministry will also unify categories of study status, currently divided into one for high school students and another for college students, enabling high school students to continue to study without switching their status before entering college. In addition, foreigners will be able to remain in Japan for about one year after graduation to find jobs, up from about 180 days at present.
Four handed guitar play
Friday, January 23rd, 2009This is one rather interesting video. It does answer the million dollar question everyone has been asking. Can two people play one guitar? ^^. What do you think?
Fried whale
Thursday, January 22nd, 2009
鯨 (Kujira) is the Japanese word for whale. I asked on Twitter what others thought about eating whale. Got replies from neil, kaitensoshi and marisolita. Everyone had a slightly different opinion; a rainbow of answers from “no thanks, but might try to be polite” to “don’t think eating whale is wrong, just not in excess” to “no problem with it at all”. Actually, those were all the three answers I got.
