Breakfast in JapanBreakfast for me most days are rolled oats sprinkled with raisins.
Sometimes, will eat kaya toast with eggs breakfast set or a plate of fried noodles/beehoon with some additional item.
Used to eat breakfast at 6am plus during my 2 year stint in the...
Tokyo EveningI like that! :-)
Continuous learning and improvement is the way to go.
But we tend to forget to appreciate what's already in front of us!

Japan Body InflationActually body inflation has all along been around, it's called plastic surgery and involves silicone implants for that "perfect" bust! :-P

Canon ElectronicsMakes me want to buy a Nikon! I wonder how Nikon treats their workers? I know in Singapore, Nikon does give their employees, *chairs*...!
Air GunIn Singapore, you can't buy airsoft guns that look like the real ones. Typically, toy-replicas of real guns that are allowed are coloured with bright plastic bits so that no-one will mistake them for real guns.
Firearms are only allowed by private c...

Japan Swine FluThe influenza A(H1N1) virus is spreading. That's why the World Health Organisation has raised its alert level to 5, meaning a pandemic is imminent.
Pandemic comes in waves, so while the initial infections and effect have been mild outside of Mexico...
A Week in Tokyo 37I like the idea of Pecha Kucha Night...It makes presentations more punchy and you have to be succinct (concise and precise) in presenting information.
Think will make use of this idea next time I get back onto toastmasters. :)
Tokyo Photo Walk 4Thanks for sharing your motivational photo walks. One of the best features of DC.com IMHO!
I'm fairly comfortable with my life and rated my happiness meter around 50-70%. I've come to realise during a recent career switch that my own happiness lies...
A Week in SingaporeHi Danny
Sad to see how our Straits Times treated you. For all it's worth, Reporters without Borders reports them to be lower ranked than North Korea for press freedom!
Glad you have a lovely time eating your way through Singapore. Sometimes Singa...
Hina MatsuriGirls are better in Singapore. They don't have to serve 2 years of compulsory military/police/civil defence service and be liable for 10 years of annual in-camp training until age 40.
DecodenI think the pieces will fall off after some time due to wear and tear?
Not very practical for guys who can be quite rough with their mobiles and gadgets? :-(
7pm in Tokyo - ShibuyaThat's a great idea to record the sounds of the dream place you want to be!
I think I should start recording more of my daughter's sounds that she makes... Pretty soon, I'll look back when she's all grown up to reminisce on how she was like as a bab...

Tokyo Photo Walk 3Dear Danny
I love your Photo Walk posts as they blend the philosophical and the beauty of the places you showcase. :)

Tokyo Photo Walk 3Rayk
Litany against fear from Dune? :)
But so very true, I'd suggest reading "How to Stop Worrying and to Start Living" by Dale Carnegie. It's a powerful book about how our fears can literally prevent us physically from doing anything.
Akiba Cow GirlsYour cousin should try being a Singapore Citizen as you get to serve in the military for 2 years and fire stuff like M16, SAR21, throw grenades.

Motivational Monetization SlideWhy don't you blog about Edmonton, Canada? Do you know that there are landbanking companies selling land in Canada in Singapore?
Motivational Monetization SlideSaw that slide during the Animax Blogging Workshop (19 Nov 2008) in Singapore.
My own experiences with blog monetisation is that there is no one best way to monetise your blog or website. AdSense is easy to set up and pays decently and is the market...

Anime ToysThis has to be one of your best posts I have ever read because it is so raw in its honesty.
