Eat at Shinagawa, Drink at Neko Cafe 吃在品川喝在貓咖啡

Image
Facebook is amazing. I got to catch up with a high school friend whom we had never seen each other since graduation 14 years ago. The first place we reunited? Shinagawa station in Tokyo. The first restaurant we went? Wanofu, a traditional Japanese restaurant located right inside a shopping mall inside the station! She ordered the unagi-don set that cost 1500yen and I ordered the more expensive "flower" set that cost 3600yen, my most expensive splurge on meals on record in Japan! 臉書實在是太偉大了,我竟然能和闊別14年的高中同學敘舊,並約在東京的品川站見面。我們在站內的一間小型購物商場的日式餐廳Wanofu吃飯。她點了1500yen的鰻魚飯套餐,而我點了我在日本有史以來最貴的3600yen套餐!

[016] Spendthrift 亂花錢

Image
Blogger was having some problems last week and it seems okay now. I suspect that it could be the new location widget that they put on our new post function that caused data corruption. Anyway, a few comments were lost so please leave your comments again~ P.S. After showing my comic strips to a new classmate, he was apparently more attracted to colored ones than B&W versions. So I guess from now on I'll do my best to color every single strip. Do you all prefer color as well? If you like any of the strip, please click the "Like" button on the top left to help me advertise in your Facebook, thank you very much and have a nice Sunday! 中文版請點(更多)→

[015] Japanese Marketing 日本促銷方法

Image
I find that Japanese shops here (particularly skincare like Fancl and L'occitane) love to give out loads of promotion materials whenever I order something from their internet shops. It's interesting to go through all of them because I would found some interesting products that I'd missed out in their internet shop. But at the end of the day, all marketing material will end up in my recycle bin, all except for one piece of paper, that is the one with the discount code :P Would you A) Go ECO and insist that everything is delivered through email ...or prefer B) Receive hard copy promotional materials and magazines? 中文版請點(更多)→

[014] I hate Glossy 討厭光澤

Image
I dislike to see the reflection of my ceiling lights or myself on the monitor so I'd always wished that iMac-s have the matte screen option. Unfortunately, even the MacMatte online petition doesn't work with only 1474 responses so far. I guess you'll need like 100,000 to even get Steve Jobs to think about it. What about you? Do you prefer matte or glossy? 中文版請點(更多)→ 

Defenses Breached 5 (cockroaches) 小強入侵

Image
Ever since my neighbor opposite moved out, her cockroaches had  been forced to look for new havens, such as my room. When times were good, I could kill 12 a day, but when business was bad like yesterday, I could only kill 2 (all nymphs). Ever since their emergence, I'd wrapped up all leftover food and cleared my trash almost everyday, but still they came, hungry and looking for food and water. I complained to the dormitory office and was given 3 traps to lure them to their death. Unfortunately, most of the roaches were smart enough to not get their feet stuck onto the sticky tape and crawled out thinking "which dumbass could have laid this ancient trap". Hence, I returned to the most effective way of smashing them with papers. 自從對面的鄰居搬走以後,她的蟑螂只好轉移基地到附近的房間,也就是我的房間。生意好的時候,殺個12隻是絕對沒有問題的。但是生意淡的時候,像昨天那樣的話,只能殺個2隻而已。因此,自從被這些“強者”侵略以後,我便開始把所有的食物包好,也幾乎天天丟垃圾。但是,他們還是不斷的湧出,所以只好投訴給管理員。投訴後,她給了我3個陷阱。可是那些聰明的蟑螂爬進陷阱後,都不願把腳踩在膠帶上... 它們心理一定在想...會是哪兒一個笨蛋用那麼古老的方法啊...唉~所以,我只好用最有效的方法-用紙去狠狠地捏死它

[013] The Heat 熱

Image
It's getting a bit warm now in Japan but the election heat in Singapore is simmering down. I'd been listening to radio 100.3 online until the very last result from Potong Pasir was released. I'm happy that the opposition team is making history by winning a GRC but unfortunately we lost George Yeo and Mr. Chiam See Tong. However, a comforting phenomena is that finally, it feels as if the entire nation is concerned about the future of our country!!! Now, we just need to figure out on how to get rid of the infamous bimbo from parliament... Replace Tin Pei Ling with George Yeo in Marine Parade by-election? I do not want Tin Pei Ling in Parliament (Facebook, 43,359 likes currently ) Petition to remove Tin Pei Ling as a MP (Facebook, 36,784 likes currently) Disqualification of the PAP marine parade team (online petition, 4524 signatures currently)  中文版請點(更多)→ 

[012] Happy Mother's Day 母親節快樂

Image
Friday is cooling-off day, so I shall spare readers from my election rantings to something more heart-warming. Yes, it's time to thank our mothers "officially" again. Unfortunately, I am not with my mum this year to bring her out for a nice dinner, to sit together with her to watch TVB Hong Kong dramas, or to help her look after my nephew. 又到了母親節了。很遺憾的是今年我無法帶老媽出去吃飯,陪她看TVB港劇,或和她一起照顧外甥。(中文版漫畫在下面)

Golden Week groceries shopping 黃金週的購物

Taking a short break from election, I became lazy to cook and decided to buy bento and listen to online FM100.3 in my room. Above bento costs 498yen, beautifully decorated and tasted good. 呼~假期嘛~所以懶惰一下買了便當和在宿舍裡聽fm100.3。上面的漂亮便當賣498yen,味道不錯:P

[011] Tin Pei Ling (Singapore special)

Image
I had supported PAP, but did our government take our support for granted by pulling in any fancy parrot they can find? I'm very angry. Angry for myself to have missed the deadline for overseas voter application. Thanks to youtube and facebook, I now see the light. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMW0ZIroCOY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_6x_5J78Rs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adLC3AO-p90 A MP who will stamp her feet when she "don't know what to say" A MP who said that healthcare cost now is "already quite low and manageable in Singapore" A MP who "don't have any specific policies" that she felt "strongly against" A MP who walks a lot and then tells us how much she'd walked first thing in a rally A MP who will be getting $15,000/month for the next 5 years Are we treated like idiots that we have no choice but to choose her team? Guess what? I think she'll get her $15,000x12x5= $900,000 (excl. bonus) and we
