Coincidental Miss
It's pretty interesting how people could just miss each other in a matter of minutes. This is an old-school technique used in movies, but when applied to real-life and you actually know it because it's timestamped, this scenario never loses its luster.

Japan Tokyo
As Nic requested, here're some pics from nippon. Heh~

Here's an skyview from my hotel from 35th floor!


And my workplace, some 20 storeys. heh~ can never go up to the 20th storey where the CEO sits.


And its interior







This is found in Ginza!


And the Sony Cafe, which is more heavily subsidized than the one in US, and with better food!



One good thing in the Sony Cafe is there's free cold barley (and tea of course)! :)


One thing that impresses me is the level of detail the Japanese could go.
This funny looking extension cord has a lock which prevents accidental disconnection.


A mirror which doesn't fog up so you can use it right away after a shower.


Anti-bacterial spray for busy business travelers who only have a pair of pants in the luggage. :)


RFID tagged plates in Sony Cafe, so that you only self-pay after you eat without the need of removing the bowls for scanning. Just place the tray there and pay with your card.


Japanese Fish market isn't really as interesting actually. But it is really super huge with fish and unagi everywhere!


Some food that I got in my short stay there.
Katsudon. Yummy!


Tonkichi (I still prefer the pork cutlet!)
Oh yes, I had both of these at the same meal, and the waitress asked me if I really can finish... heh~ nice of course can finish la! Not I paying anyway. heh~



Some special summer ramen


Interesting tiny grapes on vine. The vine is soft and edible. Heh~




And my fav jap b/f! Torogili with coffee :)



Tsukemen – damn nice and interesting pork noodles, which you can add water to make the gravy become soup for drinking after the meal. The hard boiled egg is really interesting cos only the white is hard and the yolk is all soft and not partially hard at all!


Sukiyaki – nice, but was disappointed that I cannot drink the soup cos no spoon. Grrrr!

Inspiration Quotes
Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift

When the door of happiness closes, another opens, but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one which has been opened for us.
The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.
It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.
Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they'll love you back! Don't expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in their heart but if it doesn't, be content it grew in yours. It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.
Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile.
There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real!
Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.
May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy.
Always put yourself in others' shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the other person, too.
The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.
Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched, and those who have tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives. Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss and ends with a tear. The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past, you can't go on well in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.
When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you're the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.
