Love Letter 1970-01-01 00:59:59 My favourite Japanese movie of all time is Love Letter
by Iwai Shunji.CastMiho NakayamaEtsushi ToyokawaBunjaku HanKatsuyuki ShinoharaMiki SakaiTakashi KashiwabaraMariko KagaSynopsisHiroko Watanabe's fiance, Itsuki Fujii, died in a mountaineering accident two years ago, yet she has been unable to forget him. She came across his high school year book and found his old address by chance, and wrote a letter, knowing that she would never receive a reply. However, to her surprise, she received a reply. It turned out that when Itsuki was in high school, there was a girl in his class with the exact same name, and it was her address that Hiroko has written to. She decided to pay a visit to this girl.When Hiroko arrived, she did not meet Itsuki as planned due to certain reasons. However, she did see how Itsuki looked like, which, to her shock, bore a strong resemblance to herself. In fact, they looked exactly alike. She began to be suspicious about (male) Itsuki's reasons for falling in love w Read more:Love Letter
All About Soap 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Speaking of hilarious email exchanges, one of my favourites was the fictitious email exchange between a hotel in London and one of its guests:The Saga of Hotel Soap The following letters were taken from an actual incident between a London hotel and one of it's guests. The Hotel submitted the letters to the London Sunday Times for their humor column.Dear Maid, Please do not leave any more of those little bars of soap in my bathroom since I have brought my own bath-sized Dial. Please remove the six unopened little bars from the shelf under the medicine chest and another three in the shower soap dish. They are in my way.Thank you,S. BermanDear Room 635, I am not your regular maid. She will be back tomorrow, Thursday, from her day off. I took the 3 hotel soaps out of the shower soap dish as you requested. The 6 bars on your shelf I took out of your way and put on top of your Kleenex dispenser in case you should change your mind. This leaves only the 3 bars I left today which my inst

How do you get your blogging mojo going? 1970-01-01 00:59:59 So when or how do you like to compose your blog posts? I'm sure everyone has their favourite way or time of day to do it. Maybe you like to do it during those long and boring daily office meetings with the boss or when you're spacing out in class. Me? I like to do it when I'm:in the showerThat's right. Others like to show off their powerfully hideous vocal abilities but I prefer to think about my next mind-shatteringly exciting blog post.on the pottyIt's certainly less disgusting than having a conversation on the phone at the same time and letting the other party hear all your pooping noises. I think it's a great time to think about my next blog post unless my utmost full concentration is required due to a particularly difficult bowel movement, i.e. stubborn piece of shit refuses to exit. I'm sure most of you do it too. Come on, don't be shy. Tell me about it. Heh.on the busTo work, that is. Provided I'm not busy fantasising about the cute guy at work. Or perhaps I can do that

Sex offender, 29, attends school as 12-year-old 1970-01-01 00:59:59 This is some bizarre stuff. First seen here.A 29-year-old convicted sex offender managed to pass himself off as a 12-year-old child, attending one school for several months before anybody realised.Not only did he convince school authorities that he was a young boy, but he also fooled two men he was living with at the time - both of whom had sexual relations with him, while under the impression that he was 12 years old.Source: MetroWHAA...T?Technorati: Bizarre, News
5 Reasons Why You Should Never Get Drunk at Office Parties 1970-01-01 00:59:59 You don't really want to wake up the next morning realising that you had:1) kissed the office loser (ya know, the one with bad breath and jokes that nobody laughs at).2) gobbled down the party decorations thinking they were dessert.3) thought table dancing with your top off was a swell idea... and you actually did it.4) pinched your boss's butt.OK, I lied. I only have 4 reasons. And nah, not speaking from personal experience. Thank goodness.Technorati: Humour Read more:Reasons
Zen Japanese Restaurant, Mah Boon Krong (MBK) Center, Bangkok, Thailand 1970-01-01 00:59:59 We had lunch at the ZenJapanese
restaurant at MBK Center
in Bangkok
over the weekend and it was fantastic. As you can see from the picture, we went a little salmon crazy. We highly recommend the salmon teriyaki and salmon sashimi. The beef shabu-shabu was only so-so though. All 4 of us ate to bursting and the bill came up to less than 3,000 baht. Well worth every baht, I say.So, any of you out there who's eaten at this restaurant?Technorati: Food, Japanese Food, Restaurants, Bangkok Read more:Thailand
12 ways to amuse yourself during boring meetings 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I spend half of my working hours at boring
meetings trying to look important and attentive, so I've come up with 12 ways to combat the boredom.1) See those pieces of paper with "Meeting Agenda" printed on them? Try making paper aeroplanes with them on your lap.2) Now imagine one of the paper aeroplanes whizzing over your boss's head.3) Then you realise you could be fired for doing that and attempts to pay attention to the meeting.4) As you have the attention span of an insect, your mind starts to wander again...5) ...and now you're imagining your boss naked.6) And he's doing the macarena.7) With pom-poms.8) And a feather boa.9) Snigger quietly to yourself and refuse to share the joke when your equally bored colleague asks you what's so funny.10) Then it hits you that a sight like this could possibly traumatise you for life.11) Decide to do something more constructive instead, such as...12) ...compose time-wasting lists like this in your head for your next blogging opportunity.Hey,

Bling H2o 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Would you pay 40 bucks for a bottle of water? If you answered in the affirmative, you need to get your head checked. Ok, just kidding. If you're into gourmet bottled water, then Bling
H2o may just be your cup of uh.. water. The bling factor comes from the bottles, which has handcrafted Swarovski crystals on them. Since I don't have 40 bucks to throw away, I don't know what the water taste like. Maybe it tastes like the elixir of life. Who knows?Anyway, if you're really loaded with money coming out of your ears, why not think about donating to the help-Lis-quit-her-boring-day-job fund? Or perhaps I can fund myself by starting my own line of bottled water. I'll call it B(Lis)s H2o.Technorati: Shopping
Life in a hole 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Apparently, the latest fashionable thing to do in London is to live in a janitor's storeroom, all for the low, low price of £170,000 (gawd, I can buy 8,000+ bottles of Bling H2o for that kind of money). The flat measures 11ft by 7ft which is about the size of a snooker table. Doesn't the place look depressing?Source: BBC NewsWhile we're still on the topic of tiny living spaces, if you check into the das Parkhotel, you'll be living in rooms made out of drainage pipes. I kid you not. At least you'll have a good view of the River Danube. They kinda remind me of those capsule hotels in Japan.Via Random Good Stuff here and here.Next up on the real estate market: flats the size of toilet cubicles! You get to sleep standing up!

To celebrate his web blog turning six, he has a birthday toy on his blog that is a serious instrument of divination. Needless to say, I just have to try it for myself.As per Neil's instructions, I imagined my question and framed it in my mind.Q: My bladder is currently full to bursting and I fear that even a slight cough may open the flood gates. Should I go and pee, like, now?A: My question is why you included these scenes in such a descriptive manner.And thus, Neil has spoken.

7 Ways to Reject that Unwanted Valentine's Day Invitation 1970-01-01 00:59:59 It's Valentine
's Day and the office creep decided to try his luck and asked me out. Eh, I was probably his 9829384th unlucky try. Anyway, I decided to compile a list of excuses for future reference. I'm sure they'll come in handy again some day.1) "Can I bring my mum along?"2) "Sure, meet ya at Nagrand?"3) "Sorry, not enough HP to last through dinner. Gotta level up tonight."4) "I think of you as a brother and I'm not into incest."5) "Nope, not into guys."6) "Whaa..t? Sorry, I can't hear you, you're breaking up." Make some static noises and hang up.7) "I'll love to go out with you, but first, I've gotta bury the last guy who tried to date me. He's stinking up my garage. Wanna help?"Happy Valentine's Day!

Firefox 2007-05-17 19:50:00 For all you neanderthals still using Internet Explorer, you might want to check out Jason's excellently informative post on Firefox
. Before discovering Firefox, I felt like a lost lamb wandering through the Dark Ages of Internet Explorer. And then, behold, there was Firefox and all was good. I've seen the light. I was lost but now am found. Yadda yadda.Maybe I exaggerated a little.Ok, I exaggerated a lot.I was having trouble with Internet Explorer before making the switch to Firefox a few years back, although I can't for the life of me, recall what sort of trouble. I do remember it's the sort that made me want to inflict grievous bodily harm on my computer and hurl it out the window (that's right, Internet Explorer killed my kitty and ate my baby). Anyway, Internet Explorer is so 1990s. Who the hell wants to live in the last decade?So the cool stuff about Firefox? Did you know you can have multiple home pages with Firefox? You did? Damn. I must not have been paying attention durin
