Sentosa Photo Shoot - Kwan Jun 1

Fren took these during our X'mas day photo shoot at Sentosa... Really shacked out that day.... Only went a few fountains... Siloso beach, Palawan Beach... and the southern most point of the Asian continent... Fren took 2 rolls of film... Hope the photos turn good enough for ah-ber... Hee...

Turned out that Kwan Jun's father sold some equipment to my fren before.... what a small small world.... :)

Bad weather in the US...

Jang Dong Gun Look-a-like competition

Kwan Jun , despite being only 3 yrs old, took part in the competition with 4 other adults. He had to wear a wig and say a dialogue from the movie. He did it very well! And he heard the script lines only a few times! He won the competition too!!! Prize is a JVC video cam! Click here for a video clip of the Look-a-like competition finals!

More coming up!

Kaneshiro Takeshi

My sis went to the press conference and the premiere for Takeshi's new movie... When she came back... all she said was "ta hen shuai... ta hen shuai... ta zhen de hen shuai..." Too bad she is not used to my camera.... only managed to take these stills from the movie clip that she took...

Clouds...

i like to watch clouds... i also like taking photos of clouds and the sky... they give me a very nice feeling... i like the big volumous ones.. they seem like to hold a lot of stories about the sky and the places they lie over... i also like the small ones... all scattered around an area... they look like little kids playing happily... sometimes got some clouds... with ripples in them... look like a gigantic ruffles potato chip... haha~

In Hong Kong

In Hong Kong for meeting...... lots of food to eat.... my efforts going down the drain soon.... Tonight went Nu3 Ren2 Jie1 for dinner with my colleagues... Bought 2 tees... Bargained from HKD59 to HKD45 each... Heehee~

Here's a pic of my colleagues Dennis and Ski at the Tsim Sha Tsui harbor...

看見歐得洋@Padang

Today went Padang to watch Ou DeYang concert... Guess what... There's a crowd!!!!.... 8000pple!... I was so afraid that we will be the only ones there.... Anyway... it was super hot and stuffy... like sardines... Me and JX gave up halfway and went to the back for a cold yummy coke.... leaving my sis and JY cheering for him and the project superstar pple...
Here's the guy... His mystery about his looks finally unravelled!Ou DeYang and the Project Superstar pple...Later they came to my place for some pizza... and 1 pizza's topping was all koyak... I called and complained 3x to the branch... The guy very poor thing too la... During the 3rd time i called...
he slip of the tongue "oh... u are the one who complained..."
And i was like "YAH!!!! I COMPLAINED AND AFTER 30 MORE MINS... MY PIZZA STILL NOT HERE!!!"

heeheee haaahaaa~... Enjoy man... I like being the customer for once!

Cho Kakkoii!

We took this off the vending machine near our hotel in Kyoto... Sanny just sent me the CM for this... Will upload it once I figure how to.... after my jap mock test this sat...


Here's the screen shots from the cm... i think it was very nicely done... jap cm are better than most that i have seen so far... each is about 10 to 15 sec... so its concise and the impact is there.... enough 'pow'...

Whale Meat Ramen...

While we were at Shionomisaki... the REAL southernmost tip of Honshu, we took lunch at the visitor centre abt 100m away from the exact southermost tip... Here the restaurant served WHALE MEAT ramen... which my fren bravely ordered... me.. being the more conservative one... ordered tonkatsu... again...

Here's the ramen... Dun think my fren enjoyed it.. Taste of seasoned chicken.... she says... the pickles and the rice ball are the local specialities... the rice ball is wrapped in persimmon leaves... i dun really like it... cold and taste bitter...

The Southernmost XXX of Honshu, Japan

The thing about Kushimoto is that... everything is being labelled as the southern-most XXX og Honshu... We got the...

southern-most town...

southern-most omiyage shop...

southern-most train station...

Words of Protest....

Okay okay... My fren Staci who went was my tour mate for Japan has protested.... OKay Okay... I will give her the credit.... Staci is the one who figured out how the bus system worked.... I just listened and wrote it down in the blog...

But...

Note my words... I didnt say "I found out...", I only say "I finally understand..."

Hee...

Finally understand how it works...

I finally understand how the bus fare system in Japan works... there's this huge electronic board in front of the bus and there are nos 1 to 50 written on it... under each of the number will the price of the ride... Have been wondering how the japanese know how to pay when they alight...

finally.... the mystery is resolved... the nos 1 to 50 refer to the stage that u board the bus... for eg, if u boarded the bus from the 1st stop, the current price is 1450yen... if u boarded the bus at the 24th stop, the current price is 630yen... So all u have to do remember where u board and just pay the amt stated when u alight the bus!


This is a better system than the one we had before our EZ-Link where they complain pple paid the wrong fares... Of course we will pay the wrong fare if no one told us the correct amt... See the Jap system... they are told how much to pay and they pay in cash... How to go wrong?

Hashikui-iwa Rocks

From the seashore of Kushimoto toward Oshima, various sizes of over 40 strangely shaped rocks rise up in a row of about 850m, as if only bridge piles have been left, Hashikui-iwa is one of the best place of scenic beauty in Nanki designated as a national natural treasure.

Seaside town... Kiitanabe

I like this town... Cool, quiet, breezy... You will automatically feel relaxed in this town...

Here's the view from my room...

Photo looks strange? Crooked? No... it's not an illusion. This photo is taken straight... Its the trees that are crooked... Blown too much by the wind...

45 degree angle tree...

Ramen..... yum yum....

Sigh.... Miss their ramen.... Stayed at a seaside town Kii-Tanabe for the night... Nearby our hotel got this small little ramen shop... Nice.... Yum Yum.... Their gyoza also very nice to eat....

Dolphins in Action

Sorry for the poor resolution... Took the pics from the movie clip... Havent figured out how to post movie clip... so only got stills..... think my dolphins look like a couple of tunas...

Dolphin Performance

We got to see a dolphin show near Taichi... The dolphins are training for the show at the nearby aquarium, so we got a short 5mins performance from them... to expose them to pple and get use to applause and sounds of "kawaii~~~!!" (The trainer handsome... heehee! Got another guy... not bad too... but never take photo of him...)

Kino-Matsushima Cruise

Next, we went for the Kino-Matsushima cruise... "Kino-Matsushima", scattered around 17km in the vicinity of Katsuura Port, shows a beauty of the seashore that nature has created. Among all-sized islands floating on the blue ocean, there is a camel rock, a lion island, "Tsurushima" of a cave, and "Yamanari-jima" where lieutenant general Taira no Koremori is said to have committed suicide into the water after his defeat by Genji in the fighting of Yashima. This place is famous for its scenic beauty of Kumano.

Tsurushima...
Camel rock...
Lion island...

Foot Onsen

While Kii-Katsuura is famous for its seafood, it is also an onsen town. Near the train station, there is a free foot onsen for pple to use... We soaked in it twice, water was about 39 degrees... and it was shiok!
