Today we celebrated the big boss of the company’s birthday. Instead of a traditional birthday cake, my colleague bought dozens of Krispy Kreme and stacked them together.
When the boss saw this, he told everyone in the room, “Do you know eating one of those doughnuts is like consuming seven of MacDonald burgers?”
I ate two three. Gulp.
(1 Krispy [...]
Tokyo Tower is around Roppongi, so I took a stroll to Tokyo Tower. It was New Year’s eve that day so I thought we go and celebrate year 2008 there. Turned out the stroll became a 45 minutes walk. Ugh.
(The famous Paris Tower look-a-like)
I didn’t go to top of the Tokyo Tower. Initially I planned [...]
I didn’t explore much around Roppongi. It was pretty dull around so I only hanged around at a shopping mall.

The outside
Inside the ‘food court’
From left:
1. Biscuits/Pastries for 3900yen
2. Steamed rice with different flavours.
3. Cakes, cakes, cakes
4. More cakes!
From left:
1. These are real spring roll. I thought it was for display only.
2. More confectionaries. They really [...]
Killing machine girls on the prowl again. Loved the opening song, Tatta Hitotsu no Omoi by KOKIA.
(The missing corner credit card)
I used my credit card a couple of times when I travelled to Japan but this ordinary credit card returned back to me with unexpected yet an interesting feedback. This is what happened.
After some long thoughts, I have decided to purchase the Nikon DSLR at one of the biggest electronic store, [...]
I have been keeping in touch with Windows/DOS era since 1992 and not once I thought of straying away from it. But time and curiosity teams up as a deadly combo and slowly they crept onto me, I was thrown into Linux world briefly and by the late 2007, I’ve decided to hook up with a Mac. Reason? Hungry for more? No. I [...]
Another trip during the evening and this time it’s Shinjuku. It was livelier than in the day, the buildings there were dressed up to blind you with a rainbow rays of colourful neon lights and huge LCD TVs.
(The city that never sleeps)
The facets of Shinjuku:
From left:
1. A random shot using my new DSLR
2. Illumination ‘circus’ as they call it
3. Bunch of happy penguins
From left:
1. [...]
Rambo is back with his fourth mass killing sequel. This time it’s averagely 3 kills per minute.

Can’t get enough of IOSYS. Here’s a joke about Reisen Udongein Inaba from Touhou which her bullets look like suppositories
(As usual, the crowd is killing)
From left:
1. One of many cinemas in Ikebukuro. I went one (Toho Cinema) to watch “I am Legend“ and it cost me 1800 yen a ticket. That’s almost twice as much I have to pay in Australia!
2. Some politician trying to make her point
3. The streets in Ikebukuro
4. Some performance in a large [...]
(My life is confused now)
Now I’m contemplating which journey of life should I attempt to.
‘Shibuyaaaaaaa, Shibuyaaaaaa’. My mate liked the female-voiced auto-station-announcer while we were in the JR Train. O_o’
(Ayumi Hamasaki is everywhere!)
The aggresive promotion drive for Ayumi Hamasaki’s new album Guilty was really overkilling. Posters, mobile signboards and promo music via a mobile trucks/vans were seen at every corner of Shibuya (as well as other districts that we’ve visited).
From left:
1. The crowds in [...]
(Don’t ask. I do not know what it is.)
I took a brief walk around the popular fashion street, Harajuku. Nothing much to see unless you’re into fashion. I’m not. Probably I was way too late to be here and missed all the happening events during the day.
From left:
1. One of the streets in Harajuku.
2. Yoyogi National Stadium
3. [...]
