Things to look foward for Hokkaido

Wooo!
All my life I've always wanted to go to Japan and finally for the first time I'll be going full of anticipations and 10 year old excitement! Ok sure some of you said I've been to Yokohama, which means I've been to Japan. But seriously....being in Japan surrounded by rich expats kids and eating fish & chips is not what I have in mind when it comes to a "trip to Japan"
So anyways...at least this time I get to finally properly be a tourist and visit Japan like all tourist should. Cameras ready and everything. So what's there to look foward to being in Japan and whats getting me super excited about going to Hokkaido? well...lets wiki it and see.
Most anticipating things in Hokkaido!



"Hokkaido is home to some of Japan's finest sakes, the most famous of the bunch being Asahikawa's Otokoyama (男山). Beer is also big in Hokkaido, the most famous brand being Sapporo Beer (naturally from Sapporo), but the many microbrews found in nearly every town are also worth sampling."


Hell yea! nothing like a decent old warm sake in the middle of a chilly night. I'm sooo gonna get completely drunk and loving it!





"Much of Hokkaido's population lives by the sea, and consequently seafood figures heavily in Hokkaido fare. Check out the hairy crabs (毛蟹 kegani) and the delicious sushi. Akkeshi's oysters, Saroma's scallops, and the northwest coast's sea urchin (uni) are considered to be among Japan's very best seafood."


I'm like wiping my drool off my mouth right now as im blogging this. Whats better than having fresh Japanese food? super fresh tasty Japanese SEAFOOD of course!! give me all your raw fish!!


I'm the man of contrast, I think some of you might have picked that up by now for either being my friends and all that. I love technology and gadgets and in contrast im a huge fan of traditions, particularly Japanese traditional cultures because they are really good at maintaining them. So! when Old meets new you get either a freak of nature or probably one of the most beutiful things ever. I was struggling in searching for a really hot girl wearing a kimono in google to post so that will have to make do. Atleast it shows the traditional houses dress and all that.

So what more of a better Chrismast present one could have? If I have a company to come along for it. Sure parents is all nice and dandy and all but having friends there would be even better...atleast we can visit to some of the more..."wilder" side of Japan.

I'm sooo fluffing ticked off!

Perfect time for me to blog!
It's 3am in the morning when I got into office today and to find out there is nothing for me to do!
Usually thats the case when I'm working on this flopping project however, this project supposedly 24 hours round the clock non-stop progress isn't flocking progressing. Once my shift is over, someone else will be taking over to keep the process going and after their shifts is over, i take over in a cycle. Well guess what? from what im seeing these flubbering guys didnt even bother to funking show up. Which means I've been doing all this fluzzing shit myself. To my demise are positioned in the late night shift. You know, the late shift where everyone else in the country is either sound asleep or out raving, or flaunting having steamy hot sex, while I am bonding with my imaginary friend here.
His name is Abdul Anuar, he flipping died 40 years ago before this place was built. He keeps telling me how he scares the security guards by making noises coming within the hallways or computers makin strange humming sound as well as hearing baby footsteps to kill his boredem.
So! Abdul and I usually keeps each other company at this hour and were bonding O-so-well togather right now. He even showed me a picture of his first crush when he was still flapping alive. (he just made funny faces on the mirror across my table). Surprisingly it was a white chick with blonde hair. I think this is during the early post merdeka or something.
So where was I? oh yea! im so flabbing ticked off! now I'm all semi-wide awake and already spent my car fuel to get to office only to find out there is ZERO progress and ZERO things for me to do, I'm contemplating if i should go home. Well...usually i would however i have another project i need to be working at 7am later.
So this is where it gets on my major fluffin nerve. My imaginary ghost friend Abdul seemed to be too busy amusing himself with the guards right now and I'm stuck here till 7am...which is 4 hours away...and i can't fall asleep. What can i do????
What the Funk???
GAHHH!!!

Needs & Wants for Chrismast! and beyond!!! 2

Hello again and we are at my second batch of wishlist number 2! without further adoo lets get started!



iMac stuff
They got all the cool stuff where they can put the word 'i' in any product they come up with. iPod, iMac, iBook, iPhone, iTune, iTV, iCar, iBrowser, iWater Bottle.....even iRack & iRan.....yea thats gonna get some eyebrows going. (refer to MadTV iRack skit in youtube)

Anyways, everyone loves them i stuff. It's like a big phenomenan where whenever Steve Jobs decides to give a speech, everyone is like all halleluah about it. As if he's some kinda religious prophet. Everyone worships the 'i' and disses the 'Mi' (microsoft). But when i think about it, it's not that far off. You see them 'i' worshippers disses the 'Mi' because they seem to be the stereotypical richer party back in the olden days. Now the 'i' have such a large scale of worshippers and continues to dragged none believers into believing their OS system than the other party. And those who doesn't believe in them shall be shun away from it's cultural 'i ness'...........

Kinda reminds you of real life anyone? (I'm soooooo gonna get in trouble for this one)

Hey, not in too distance future you have these well-dress men came knocking at your doorstep holding a big white book and be asking you, "Does your family belief in the 'i'? if you don't believe in the 'i' you will go to hell!"

Where was I? oh yea....I'd like to get myself one of those Envelop size laptops. (image below) and be a believer!

Plushies
Yea last post i did say i wanted Sackboy plushies but i dont mind having a collection of different types of plushies all stacked up on one side of my cupboard. Hey I have my soft sides too you know! at-least the plushies that I like isn't particularly girly or all pink in colors. They are just somewhat iconic characters, not super famous but famous for the niche market, besides they are simple in design, which makes it ideal for the kind of living space i like living in. Enjoy some of those I dont mind getting, some of you might even be like, "awww i know that character and I want one too!'




Martial Arts Items
All my life I always wanted to get myself some sturdy weapons to train in, even if i never trained in that particular art anymore I'd still like to have one. I'm not particularly a collector, but its one of those things i wanted to "play" with. The more authentic the better. For example, i don't want those fake swords that is being sold on ebay, they are just decorations and not trainable. So i want a well forged weapons as well as traditionally made especially the japanese sword. As for other items, i like them to be nice and sturdy. Below are the weapons and attire I've longing to get for a long time.




So yea! If i ever get any one of these this chrismast gonna be all cool and dandy. Or even the information to get these its good. Infact...when i moved to my new place im gonna atleast get that wooden dummy. Been needing that for years.

Needs & Wants for Chrismast! and beyond!!!

Hello everyone! it's that time of the year! The time where all i can do is dream about all the things I want and need and will eventually not get them simply because i don't officially celebrate the holiday. But thats not stopping me from celebrating for my friends tho! So it's perfectly A OK for me to dream about the stuff I wanted this year! So here goes!




Sackboy Doll (officially made by Media Molecule)
It's more of a wish-list, hopefully media molucule are smart enough to cash crop their iconic sackboy and rob me blind for this unforgetable mascot. Those who doesnt know what Sackboy is heres a Wiki link about it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LittleBigPlanet
But in a nutshell it's one of the most ingenious ideas Media Molecule have ever created for the user creation content in the gaming media. The game allows you to create your very own designs of games and concept and share it all across the world. So the sackboy is like Sony's new mascot just like Mario to Nintendo. (shut it Xbox fanboys you dont get any mascot and never will)

G2000 Blu (black jacket)
Ive been doing some browsing a few malls here and there for some form of casual/formal jacket so i can put it on and looked presentable to clients or look good outdoors and be a smug publically. I've been dragging alot of people along with me to give some suggestions and so far the G2000 Blu is the better choice thus far. Unfortunately i cant find any pictures to show but it should look similar to the one in this link. http://www.g2000.com.sg/fw08/#/blu/range?tafID=blu5 browse through the "Blu" section and check out the dead center picture. It should look like that. Pretty snazzy huh? Infact just looking at the picture made me wanna look for white tshirt and white pants just like the photo. This item is a semi want and a need.




SLR camera tripods/Unipods/monopods
I have an SLR camera which i havent been fully utilising it so i thought i need to brush up on my photography skills and start clicking away. Since this Chrismast holiday I'll be going to Hokkaido, (yes under 5, it's reconfirmed again so I'll be going yay!) I need to be able to take decent photos with a sturdy enough hands. So i have a few choices, either get a sturdy Tripod so i can keep using for future uses but weight and the time to setup would be a problem especailly if your following tours with other old people..(then again old people walks far too slow for me to worry about time). Orspend more money and get a Unipod, which is the one legged pod and be able to use it as a walking stick/weapon just incase i get attack by those Hokkaidan's Bear........or Ninjas.









Shades or sunglasses
I never wore glasses or never have the thought of wanting to wear sunglasses or shades. So usually I wouldn't want anything in particular, however if one day i do eventually needs one, the one in the picture should be pretty good, its cool looking, it protects my eyes and i get to listens to music. Im a fan of tech so i get anything that looks awesomely tech like. Ok maybe not very stylish...ill get back to you on that once i developed an interest to protect my eye stylishly.







Bluetooth Handsfree
There's been alot of deaths lately regarding car accidents, through observation theres tons of those who uses their phones while driving, worst case, is texting while driving. I've been getting phone calls here and there while driving as well so i think i need one of these sooner or later.
More to come, yes im a materialistic guy, hey it gives me a good reason to feel slightest happy about it.
