An interesting article about Anakin Skywalker and Winnie the Pooh.
The funny thing is these articles are published by experts in psychology and neurology. yeah, it's actually a serious diagnostics.
these are da articles:
"Anakin Skywalker: Borderline Personality, Bipolar or Narcissist?"
"Pathology in the Hundres Acre Wood: a neurodevelopmental perspective on A.A. Milne"
i love how they describe Pooh as having ADHD and OCD lol.

The Truth? Or A Scam?
everyone knows that global warming is causing a problem. read or watched "The Inconvenient Truth"?
well... what IF this is all a political scam?
I've recieved email from my dad. my dad and I both don't really have a opinion towards this. However, apparently this man is VERY highly regarded.
here's a link to a british documentary which supposedly exposes everything and shows what's really going on.
1. Global warming and cooling is something that has been going on for ever. The geological record shows constant changes.
2. This current warming started in the 19th century - long before mankind had significant industry and over 100 years before the automobile became widespread.
3. Industrial activity rose dramatically from 1940 to 1974. In this period, the temperature fell.
4. The oil crisis lead to large scale reduction in man-made CO2.
5. From 1975 the temperature began once again to rise.
6. The last two warm periods (both much warmer than now) were the Bronze Age and the early medieval period. Both times of greatly increased prosperity.
7. The "mathmatical difficulty" which Al Gore mentions in his portrayal of global warming statistics from the Greenland ice cores is that the CO2 rose each time 600 to 800 years after the temeprature rose. This is because almost all atmospheric CO2 comes from the oceans and they take a long time to warm up.
8. CO2 forms a tiny, tiny proportion of all atmospheric gases. The amount produced by humanity is almost unmeasurably small - the farts of animals produce many times more.
9. Human made global warming was latched on to as the justification for increasing nuclear power and by "Luddite" extremists to further their political aims. None of it has anything to do with reality.
no matter what's da truth, i think we still have to take responsibility about our environment. coz we only have one place to live, and that's earth. we're screwed without it.
so what do u think?

Fiesta! Transformers!
couple of days ago i saw this car with lots of... stuff on.
guaranteed to be da chick-pickup-car of da year.
****************************************************
went to a summer festival in Azabu-juban last friday. thought of wearing yukata (summer kimono) but too hot, too humid, too many ppl, so forget it!
this is how crowded this festival is
(this pic is provided by this site)
met up with Ai around 6pm (Sayo and Miki wasn't feeling well so they couldn't make it), n head to da fiesta! lots of food stands, woohoo!
there's da takoyaki (octopus balls). mmmm....
fruits coated in candy (starch syrup)... mmm...
we saw some hula dance performance. at first da students performed, and in da end their teacher performed. she was very beautiful indeed...
hula dance is popular among women in japan these days. heard u lose weight. i wish i can move my waist like hers...
it's interesting coz when u look at her dancing, it makes u feel like ur in a tropical island
aloooohaaaaaaaa!
while we waited for Teppei to meet us, we watched da popular summer festival dance, called Bon Odori (or Bon Dance).
love da drum. it's so cool when woman plays da drum
(this pic is provided by this site)
we moved to da park area where multicultural food stands are. there was at least 20 different countries' food stand. whoa... where to start lol
i tried some Swedish meatballs. did u kno they have them with fruit jam? think it was strawberry jam that i had with.
u know what?
it wasn't bad as i expected. actually, not bad at all!
then i had this so-called "Naan Burger". basically tandori chicken-ish thing rapped in naan bread like buritos. not bad. very filling...
after a while, we had this sudden feeling of "oh-i-really-want-to-watch-a-movie-syndrome".
so... we moved to Roppongi Hills (which is just up da hill), n i finally watched....
TRANSFORMERS!!!!!!!!!!!!
woot! woot!
OH MY GOD... this movie was soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo awesome!!!!!!
i love it. i just LOVE it.
cars changing in to robots, robots changing back to cars or whatever machine they wish to be.
i thought i was going to have a nose bleed. cool cool cool cool coooooool!!!
or as paris hilton would say "thats hot" times a million.
and da linkin park... gotta love that linkin park's song. aaaaaaaaaaaaa...
i want those robots. they were super cute indeed.
i remember watching da tv series when i was a little kid. never would have thought there would be a movie like this...
im definitely watching the 2nd one, if there is one, which im pretty sure there will be one.
true, some of da story plot was a bit... well, typical american-would-love-it plot but hey, gotta love that computer graphic.
who can possibly not like Bumblebee?
"Bumblebee, stop lubricating the human" LOL

And now, for something completely different
place where i live at da moment, my home town, is a relatively quiet place. not much is happening. super local town.
HOWEVER
for some strange reason, few weeks ago a Tunisian restaurant opened.
yes, a TUNISIAN restaurant.
WHY Tunisian? why in this local town? i mean... where da hell is Tunisia anyway!? is it in Africa!?
so i decided to check it out
hmm... so it's this brown part... that's Tunisia eh?
i c... i c... right next to Libya. so it's more like Middle Eastern than African...
me n mum decided to try out this Tunisian food. had absolutely no idea what it's like.
checked da menu... yups, it's definitely Islamic food coz there's no pork and they don't serve alcohol. lots of lamb meat and tomato based dishes.
so we ordered whatever cought our eyes.
this is called Brik (pronounced breek), egg, potatoes, parsley covered in crepe and deep fried.
pretty yummy stuff. when u cut it in half, medium boiled egg came out. mmmmm....
this is Tagine (pronounced tajin), a form of quiche with meat and vegetables in it, cooked in tomato sauce.
da quiche was delicious n i love how da onions are still half raw, coz love da crunchiness!
this is Kefta (pronounced kifta), lamb meat balls cooked in tomato sauce with vegetables.
i've never tasted something like this before. i can't really explain it. i think it's da spice. very... strange taste. but after a while i got used to it, n start to love it! i guess it's one of those dishes that u either like it or hate it.
dishes came with complimentary bread (which contains cumin seeds), together with a paste called Harissa (made from red chili, caraway, coriander and salt). pretty hot stuff! but it goes well with da bread.
finally for dessert, we had Kadi, which contains sesame paste called Chamia (pronounced shamia) and almonds. it looks like samosa doesn't it?
it tasted quite similar to some of da Indian sweets. it was good but four was too much for me. aarrr... slight headache...
to tell u da truth, trying out something totally different was soooooooooooooo fun and exciting to me. but then again, i didn't have da will to even try da sheep brain stew that they had on menu lol.
to tell u da truth, da estate that this restaurant begin is i believe, cursed.
all these years since i grew up, lots of shops (mostly ramen restaurant) comes and goes. it's never steady. previously, it was a chinese restaurant but it closed down in about half a year.
so i hope this restaurant lasts! coz i kinda love it.
da only problem is they don't serve alcohol.
u want to start a restaurant in japan, u gotta serve alcohol. hmm... maybe i should suggest BYO (BYO is not common in japan)

Swimming? or just been soaked?
welcome...
i hope this address is going to be my permanent address.
so... last Tuesday i went to a theme park (called Yomiuri Land) which has couple of swimming pools. kinda like Adventure World in Perth.
went with my gfs (from left Sayo, Miki's sister Nayomi, Miki, Ai and moa).
we had a friend that works there so got a discount. banzaiiiii!!!!
there's three major swimming pool there: one where artificial current is produced, n da current takes u around n around da swimming pool. another one is where artificial wave is produced. n another one is ur usual big swimming pool. we all rushed to da wave swimming pool. it's not that deep was still pretty fun. da only problem is that it's summer holiday, so there's heaps of families and couples, so u can't really swim, but just soaking in da water i guess lol.
n da shocking truth is that there isn't any eye-candies around. sad isn't it? *sigh*
then we head to da waterslide, which we had to line-up for almost 40min!! can u believe it? it's pretty ridiculous. coz one of da reason is that they wont let u go until da previous person finished n got out of da pool. well how much fun is that? :(
fiiiinally after a long wait, we all slided down smoothly except for my gf Sayo lol. it's not like she does it on purpose but somehow she kinda stopped in da middle of da waterslide. wahahahaha. i dunno how she does it. we all were cracking out laughing down here while she tried to get her way through da slide. u gotta to love her...
next was the pool with da current. da water is so shallow that even if u folded ur legs n sit up straight, ur head will pop out from da water, so everytime im at a corner while my legs are folded, me n Ai pretended we were driving a car n drifting. yes, of course we made car sounds skitting out loud. i think my knees are relatively smooth than before from all that friction.
got really hungry so decided to head to a restaurant (more like cafeteria), but before we got in, there was a performance on da big swimming pool. three boys (either high school or uni students, age-wise) performing synchronised swimming (male-style). it's pretty darn different from female synchro swimming. pretty darn funny too lol. wish i can put da video clip of it, but dunno how :(
anyway, we had late lunch. i had what's called "taco rice". u kno da mexican taco sauce (minced meat with salsa sauce)? well instead of da taco sauce being in a corn tortilla, it's on rice. mmmmm...
here are some random pics Miki took. yups we all look tired n ridiculous lol
yups, i kno... i look dumb. no, im not posing im just trying to tie my hair goddamu!!
well all n all, it was fun touching each other's boobs.
we changed our clothes n went to ride few of da theme park rides. damn, da last time i came here was primary school n it sure did felt large, but this place is pretty small! so much for getting older! :p
we head home afterwards except for me. i followed Miki n her sister's home n got my body measure. well, Miki's getting married n she asked me to be her bridesmaid. her mother is going to make all da dresses including her wedding dress and all da bridesmaids' dresses. incredible isn't it? so anyway, she needed da measurement so she can make my one n only dress! woohoo!
