Quick jot on EPL
September 27, 2007

It’s bright and sunshiny days for Arsenal so far. Now we have money aplenty, $70 mil in the kitty. The club’s financial result was announced this week and whoa boy! Arsenal has the next highest (after Real Madrid) operating profit and high turnover. All that achieved without needing any injection from [...]

Tokoname-Yaki
September 26, 2007

Writin’ about Japanese stuff.
This Japanese teapot is called TOKONAME-YAKI originated from Tokoname city somewhere in Japan. It is made of a type of Japanese ceramics called tokonameyaki, I think. Heh!heh! It has a history dated as far back as 900 years.

There’s a coil of filter inside which is [...]

Pre-Test Anxiety
September 18, 2007

Sigh!! Again, I didn’t sleep soundly last night. I woke up at 3 ++ am and started to toss and turn. Bed was heavenly and the fresh air outside was very cool. Closed my eyes as best as I could to return to slumber but no go!
There was no [...]

Dream
September 18, 2007

I experienced a bad dream last night. I dreamt of helping bro’ to catch 2 ‘supernatural’ beings. They looked something like a mix of shadowy Sméagol of LOTR and spirits that were vaporising. Heh! heh!
Arghhh!! Couldn’t recall the details. But I wonder what it meant?! Maybe I looked [...]

Hoodwinked
September 14, 2007

Careful when you buy convenience goods at hypermarkets or supermarkets, that is if you’re particular about brands. These h- and m- markets offer packaging to generic goods. Normally, to compete with more established brands, the goods are sold cheaper and varying tactics are used to ‘attract’ customers; i.e. packaging, positioning, location. [...]

Mo-Chuisle tagged Dreamcatcher about a million dollar ‘if dream’. Much oblige, ma’am! … hmmm, did anyone of you ever thought of where you got the millions from???
Enjoy…!

‘Darn! What misbegotten malady!’ Dreamcatcher mused. Her gut had earlier warned her against robbing the bank, specifically George [...]

Speed
September 12, 2007

Do you know why the road maximum speed limit is at 110 kmph? It’s the maximum limit human body can take without breaking to bits, in a head on collision.
When it comes to driving, we, in general are idiots and a selfish lot. I drove recklessly too when I first obtained [...]

Monday Morning n it Rained
September 10, 2007

Today is a Monday that twiddled everyone to stay in bed and to say ‘sod off work!!’ At 4 am it rained. The raindrops were like shower sprays at mid setting, like a rinse mode from an auto car wash at a petrol kiosk. I could tell by just listening. Cool, [...]

One Year and Tinker time
September 7, 2007

Tomorrow marks 1 year of this blog’s creation… though admittedly, my 1st post came 4 months later. Wuahahaha!
A new look is in order. Added categories …and About page in a short while. Noticed that I have yet to write much about all the travellings I did.
Ooh! I [...]

Cheers to a good cause and a good start
September 5, 2007

Rovers nicked a draw from Arsenal. Sheesh!!! Halloa… that’s a different back drop from the normal Barclay’s. On further scrutiny and zoom ins, here’s the display. I was instantly gushed with warmth.

My team, Arsenal is participating in a fundraising that relates closely to my heart. My brother [...]

Homecoming
September 5, 2007

Ahh!!! Home Sweet Home! I knew I was in Malaysian airspace by the increased air turbulence occurrence during my flight back home. Seated at the window side, I could see fat clouds all around welcoming my arrival. Japan was still in the midst of summer; there were hardly clouds [...]
