The missing refrigerator door

Monday, June 29th, 2009

Now that the mercury has risen and we’re nearing summer, the refrigerator doors seem to have upped and went for a holiday. No more opening doors to pick up your favorite drinks. All you have to do is to reach out and grab it! Seems like a good way to help keep the store cool too. Might even save the shop some ¥.

Balsamic vinegar and extra pepper! Which one would you drop ¥188 for?

Yakiniku in Roppongi

Yakiniku

Met up with a friend for dinner last night. He brought me to a famous yakiniku place in Roppongi. I believe the name was とうがらし (tougarashi), which is the Japanese word for red pepper. One of the things you’ll notice straightaway when you are seated is the lack of sauces on the table. It’s the store’s policy not to provide sauces for the meat. According to the boss, once you sauced everything, it all tastes the same. They serve good beef here and want you to appreciate the taste of the meat. The fat and oil that drip from it… ummmm.. So believe me when I say you don’t need sauces to go with the meat. ^^. There’s also something else about this place too.

3D advertisements

Spotted a 3D ad on the train for one of those goodness-packed drinks/jello (?). Haven’t really tried any myself though. You know what would be great? To be able to reach out and grab a drink from the ad and it’ll automagically replace itself!

MJ’s Liberian Girl

Saturday, June 27th, 2009

tokyotopia reminded me of another old favourite MJ song of mine. Liberian Girl. You remember the song? The MTV was one of a kind! I think it’s a great MTV. Michael’s surrounded by all his friends. He only appears smiling in the end with the words, “Ok everybody, that’s a wrap”. ‘

Ah man… 50?!? :’(

Don’t give up on the iPhone 3G just yet!

iPhone 3GS

With the iPhone 3GS out, I’ve been thinking of reasons why I should not upgrade and instead wait for the next iPhone 3GSS. ^^.

Michael has left the building

Friday, June 26th, 2009

WTF! Waking up in the morning, turning on the TV and what do I see/hear? Michael Jackson died from a heart attack?! He was 50.

Although my first MJ album wasn’t Thriller, but Bad, my all-time favourite is still Billie Jean from Thriller. What’s yours? Bought the cassette way back when I was 8.

Can’t believe he’s gone though. I always thought he’ll be around forever (in a way he is). Rest in peace MJ. My friend who got hold of a ticket is going to be really disappointed…
