My Japanese Traditional Umbrella that was made in Kyoto, Japan

I have bought a Traditional Japanese Umbrella during my trip to Japan this year. Why did I bout a Traditional Japanese Umbrella? There tons and tons of reason behind it. Probably it's because of the fact that I was staying with in my grandmother's house when I was a child. There was this green colored Chinese Traditional Umbrella at her place and I was fascinated with it. Even up till today, I still can recall the look of the umbrella. It kinda brings back some good old memories of days back then. On top of that, I wanted to buy a Eco-friendly umbrella, hence I decided to buy a Traditional Japanese Umbrella.

This is a picture of my umbrella. Isn't it cool. XD

A remake of a fantastic Japanese Manga into a Movie

Have you seen a Japanese Manga before? As for myself, I love Japanese Manga and I have seen various genres of Japanese Mangas. For example: Dragon Ball, Slam Dunk, Full Metal Alchemists, etc... Therefore when I found out that they are going to remake the Japanese Manga 'Ashita No Joe' into a movie, I suddenly have a urge to fly to Japan immediately to catch the movie. However, due to my commitments at work, this have become an unfulfilled dream during that period of my life. (Which is like a few months ago ...)

After watching the movie recently, this was indeed a Warm Blooded Movie. In fact, the movie had once again proven that Boxing was a sports for guys. And after watching the movie, the story itself have given me the urge to learn and pick up Boxing.... :P

This image was taken from the website 「Tsubuyaki keibo
It was one of the famous scene from the Japanese Manga 'Ashita No Joe'.
And in fact, I had seen a lot of Japanese Manga trying to imitate
some of the famous scenes from this Japanese Manga, 'Ashita No Joe'.


This image was taken from the official website of the movie 'Ashita No Joe'.
Doesn't it looks interesting?

If you have the time, you probably want to try watching this movie.

Movie: A Laughing Bean - Johnny English Reborn

Since I am not a big fan of horror or scary movies, I turn to comedies most of the time. But probably people tend to watch movies that have a serious plot most of the time, movie makers tend not to produce comedies so frequently. In fact, I just watch a Comedy show today and I find it fantastically good. There's great roars of laughter throughout the whole movie and extra footage of the movie were shown with the credits after the movie had ended. I personally feel that Rowan Atkinson, most famously known for his role as Mr Bean in the Mr Bean TV series, still haven't lost his touch as a great comedian. :D I hope that he will produce more fantastic Comedy movie in the future.

After spending some time waiting, I am finally 'Fibre' ready

After waiting for a few weeks and spending 2 long hours for the OpenNet contractors to install all the cables for a 'Fibre' connection, my house is finally 'Fibre' ready. (And the installation is for free) :D

If your house isn't 'Fibre' ready yet, you can click here to check when the OpenNet contractors will be installing the 'Fibre' connection into your house in Singapore for FREE... Yahoo~~~~

Hmm... Probably I might be switching to 'Fibre' connection after my cable connection contract ends by end of next year... but who knows, probably there might be a internet connection that might be newer, faster and cheaper during the end of 2012. :D
