First we have Berita Harian publishing this distasteful caricature by Zoy poking fun of the recent Natural Disaster that hit Japan.

Then our dear Rosmah Mansor, the “First Lady of Malaysia” decide to use her excellent knowledge to put the blame on the disaster that has befallen on Japan down to their rapid growth and the lack of green technology. Is she really serious in what she say on National TV? (more…)

Saw these photos on Flickr and just thought I’d share with any of you who doesn’t go into Flickr. The Awesome sight of Gundam standing tall in Obaida, Tokyo! It stands at 18meter (59-foot-tall). The Gundam when activated produces mist-emitting devices with sound effects and the head unit has the ability to rotate from left to right.

It’s official on display from July to August to mark the 30th anniversary of the first anime series in the Mobile Suit Gundam space war anime franchise. It’s truly a beauty to be hold, a must see if you’re a Gundam fan and is in Tokyo. (more…)

When a Lizard can, why can’t us?

This is a true story that happened in Japan .

In order to renovate the house, someone in Japan breaks open the wall.

Japanese houses normally have a hollow space between the wooden walls.

When tearing down the walls, he found that there was a lizard stuck there because a nail from outside hammered into one of its feet.

He sees this, feels pity, and at the same time curious, as when he checked the nail, it was nailed 10 years ago when the house was first built.. !

What happened?

The lizard has survived in such position for 10 years!!!!!!!!!!

In a dark wall partition for 10 years without moving, it is impossible and mind-boggling.

Then he wondered how this lizard survived for 10 years! Without moving a single step–since its foot was nailed!

So he stopped his work and observed the lizard, what it has been doing, and what and how it has been eating.

Later, not knowing from where it came appears another lizard, with food in its mouth.

Ah! He was stunned and touched deeply.

For the lizard that was stuck by nail; another lizard has been feeding it for the past 10 years…

Imagine? It has been doing that untiringly for 10 long years, without giving up hope on its partner.

Think, will u do that to your partner? (more…)
