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

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

R u ready for the Mid Autumn festival?

R u ready for the Mid Autumn festival (also known as moon cake festival) that is coming in 2 weeks time? Have you bought yourself a delicious box of moon cake? If you haven't, you probably want to get some help in getting a box of moon cake. And I just happen to know a place where you can try moon cakes made by more than 40 over moon cakes makers. And at the same time buy yourself a delicious box of moon cake and prepare yourself for the Mid Autumn festival. :)

This would be my recommendation.
You probably might want to visit the Mid Autumn festival fair that was
organised by Takashimaya shopping centre annually and give it a try. :)

Whao look at the crowd.
You probably want to go there earlier to avoid the crowd.
And if you are lucky or early enough, you might probably get to try and
buy all the yummy moon cakes before they were sold out for the day.

Besides selling moon cakes, some of the stores are selling tea leaves,
snacks, lanterns... etc. As long as it is something that can remind you
of Mid Autumn festival, you probably can get them here at the fair. :D

This is the floor plan for the Moon cake festival fair located at Takashimaya Basement 2.
Look, you probably can find all the famous brands of moon cakes under one roof, isn't it convenient? :D

Movie: Overheard 2 (窃听风云2)

This is my first Hong Kong movie after watching a series of movies produced in the America movie industry. I like the plot of the second movie especially how 'Daniel Woo' had sorted/planned out everything beforehand. But one would be disappointed with this movie as this movie wasn't as good as the first one, but one couldn't disagree with the fact that this was probably one of the better movies that Hong Kong had produce over the past few years. My question, is it really that difficult to produce a second movie to a movie sequel that can be as good as the first one?

Movie: Time to watch some comedies from the British Market.
