Poor Mr Orange
Original post from Dannychoo:
Take a good look at this picture below... (view from left to right, rows to rows). Can you tell from the pictures what is the story?
If you can't tell what the story is all about... highlight the below paragraph for the answer...
Highlight below here:
Mr Orange goes home to see "clothes" on the floor. He walks in on his wife, naked with Mr Banana... He gets depressed and starts smoking and drinking...
Google Streetview
Clicking the "Street View" button, you will find that all the streets that has the "Street View" function enabled with be outlined in blue.
Zooming in further into Flinders Street, did you notice a "yellow man" in the map?
You can drag the little yellow man and place him anywhere along the streets.
Upon placing him down, you will be shown a picture of the street view of where that yellow man is standing. This is along Flinders Street.
Here is the left view...
And here's the right view...
You can even scroll upwards and take a good look at the building!
Looking down again at the ground level, you can also "zoom in" and take a good look at the shops below the building.
Lets take a walk along Flinders Street... Notice there are yellow "ribbons" on the road with white arrows? Clicking on the white arrows will bring you further ahead down along the road.
Keep walking and walking... or you can lift the yellow-man and place him further down the streets. Here, we arrived at the junction where Elizabeth Street joins Flinders Street.
Lets rotate the map rightwards and walk down Elizabeth Street~!
This feature literally lets you "stroll the streets", as long as it has been chartered by Street View.
Just look at how detailed the images can go... amazing~
Curiosity got the better of me and I scrolled my way to Japan... wondering if Google has done chartering Japan or not... 
WOOHOOO~!!!
My EYES are in Japan! *Begins touring Japan for the next 72 hours*
Below: Ok, slightly tasteless picture. But it comes with post...

Strike Witches & Their Seiyuus
Original picture from Dannychoo:
A seiyū, seiyuu or seiyu (声優) is a Japanese vocal actor.
You are missing out a great deal of a title if you haven watched Strike Witches till now. The story plot and character-development were handled very well; makes you look forward to the next episode.
Then, with so many Strike Witches, which is your favourite character? Curious who is the Seiyuu behind your character?
My favourite character is Francesca Lucchini (3rd Row, 3rd Column), and her Seiyuu is Chiwa Saito.
But I am somehow attracted to the Seiyuu for Major Sakamoto... looking sweet~
Anyways, if you are interested in a short anime story between that of a Seiyuu-Tamago and a Marketing Exec, looking into their love story and understand the difficulties in their jobs, I'd recommend Rec [レック].
Painting Day
Spent some quality time at home helping my parents paint the kitchen ceiling. Years of cooking has had the ceiling paint start peeling off from all the steam and oil, etc.
First, its scraping off those portions of the ceiling paintworks that are peeling off. Then its off to the paint-shop to buy some emulsion paint, wall sealer, putty, turpentine and paintbrushes.
1000Yen for a Squeeze~?!
Original post from Dannychoo and TokyoReporter (Click to view)
Q: Wat the hell~?!! 1000Yen's like S$13.22...
TOKYO - It is a recent Sunday afternoon inside the offices of adult video broadcaster Paradise TV. Two enthusiastic female voices can be heard counting from behind a pair of covered booths: “Ichi, ni, san, shi, go!”
The entry flap of one booth is labeled with the kanji character pronounced ushiro (behind) and colored pink, the other is yellow and marked oppai (breast). Outside is a line of five men, each of whom is eagerly awaiting his turn to grab (with both hands) the bare buttocks and breasts of two adult video (AV) actresses five times for 1,000 yen - with all the proceeds being used for research to prevent the spread of the HIV virus and AIDS.
“I am so proud to have been selected for such a worthy cause,” says the curvy Aya Natsuki, 25, a veteran of roughly 50 AV films who ceded each of her buns for 100 yen per squeeze. “As well, this is an opportunity for me to communicate much more directly with my fans.”
Each year Paradise TV, a channel which specializes in wacky porn programming, holds its annual “24-Hour TV: Eroticism Saves the Earth” fund drive to raise money for the prevention of AIDS, a condition that continues to be a worsening problem in Japan.
Last year, donations totaled 2 million yen. Paradise expects this year to see a 50% increase in pledges, which have come from as far as away as North Carolina. Satellite provider SKY PerfecTV, which hosts Paradise broadcasts, and the Japan Foundation for AIDS Prevention are supporters.
This follows a trend in which the number of AIDS cases has slowly increased since 1996, making Japan one of the few industrialized nations in which the disease is on the rise. A reduction in condom use, an increase in the number of sex partners, and a stigma that associates HIV with homosexuals or foreigners, experts believe, are the reasons for the root of the problem.
Paradise president Tsuyoshi Shiba is concerned by the rise in the number of infections. “The adult entertainment business is easily misunderstood in our society,” says Shiba, who is wearing the yellow event t-shirt that features the famous manga character Machiko Sensei dangling a condom from her mouth while standing before a chalkboard. “As a corporate citizen in this business, we must take such a stance towards this problem.”
Paradise policy requires actors to wear condoms during regular filming. On this day, subscribers, too, are being given the opportunity to play it safe with a free 24-hour phone-sex service.
“Telephone sex is one way,” says actress Nana Aoyama, measuring in with her legendary 99-centimeter cups, “of avoiding stupid intercourse.” She is one of three ladies on hand to verbally aid callers in reaching orgasmic bliss.
To further help in this regard, masturbation aids are up for auction. Yuno Hoshino, whose resume includes incest and office lady roles, is assisting in the peddling of a synthetic “hole” and jelly from manufacturer Truth. With the minimum bid established at 500 yen, Hoshino then begins valiantly rubbing some of the lubricant over her bare chest to demonstrate the substance’s viscosity. By the time the hammer has fallen and her firm stars sufficiently cleaned with a moist towelette, a winning bid of 2,500 yen has been secured.
Earlier in the day, subscribers were invited to the Paradise rooftop to purchase a small restaurant dish - perhaps cubed tofu or boiled pork - that had been seasoned with the urine of an actress. The channel was hoping to provide a bit of protein as well for the half-dozen customers who arrived but there were challenges that could not be overcome. “We thought we could get both urinating and lactating girls,” explains Kenichiro Suzuki, manager of international sales, of the menu selection. “But the lactation just didn’t work out.”
Conspicuous by its absence is the “Tekoki Jinja,” or hand-job shrine, which debuted four years ago and allowed visitors to receive three minutes of intense stroking at the hands of an AV pro for 3,000 yen. In lieu of this form of worship, Suzuki explains, the buttocks squeeze debuted this year instead.
The fund drive’s “Eroticism Saves the Earth” moniker is a stab at major broadcaster Nippon Television’s simultaneous telethon “Love Saves the Earth,” which is transmitted live from Tokyo’s Budokan theater. The three-decade-old event enlists upwards of 10,000 people to raise 6 billion yen for environmental causes. Critics might call Paradise’s parody to be in poor taste but Shiba believes otherwise.
“It is not about whether it is a parody or not,” says the president. “We are proud to provide a forum where questions can be raised and discussions about HIV can take place.”
Q: Sheesh~, the Japanese society sure is open-minded. I wouldn't want to comment on whether the girls there are being exploited or what-say-you, or criticism of male-chuvanism, etc. But if I were to see if from the perspective of the Japanese, their culture are strongly inclined to musculinity.
Ahem... now if you'd excuse me, I need to go squeeze my pillow for a while...

Q: Before I proceed with the main topic... I can only say "Oh shiit~~~". Why? Because it would only mean that we (as NSMen) will sooner or later receive the instructions from "above", to have our current uniforms changed.
Here's the main article on Yahoo!Sg:
Q: Well, from the sound of it, it seems like it will be a "standard-issue". And here're some pictures I found off Yahoo!-Images. I think the grey-blueish-white combination is more suited to Urban-warfare in Singapore. Of course, the green-brown-black is probably "the color".
More funny is this article found off STOMP: Probably gonna be as long as Harry Porter series....

Hard Water: Part 2
Hard Water: Part 3
1st September 2008, at the Subordinate Courts...
Reported to the CRIME REGISTRY counter 6 first.
Well, as usual at all governmental places, its the take-a-queue-number-sit-down-and-wait-for-your-turn... Handed in my court summon/ letter and more waiting.
Until finally an Ah-Beng looking fella came out from the room and called out my name. Then he led us to the mediation centre before disappearing. The little girl (let's call her Jeslyn) and her family walked ahead of us. Her father and elder sister were present. My parents accompanied me.
"Dang~ not court-session eh?" I thought to myself. When it came to such a stage, my mindset is already blocked and I have no rooms for further negotiations...
I must say I have a very stubborn nature. If a person is wrong, he's wrong till the very end. No rooms for compromising. Lucky thing the 2 "Master Mediators (what they have 'levels'?!)" doesn't look gay. One chinese Mediator, another Ah-Neh Mediator. I was already very defensive and I showed them by crossing my arms and looking very stern.
And so, the room closed and the mediation session starts. . .
The mediators began by introducing themselves and telling what were we doing in the mediation-session room. I questioned them about their purpose and what they hope to achieve through this. (I can be a very hard-to-deal-with person when I am angry.) The mediator was good with his words and managed to convinced me to go through the session with them.
I had to relate my side of the story again, in the presense of the mediators, Jeslyn, and her father. And no one was supposed to interrupt until I complete. This is the countless amount of times I had re-told my story. I know the mediators would have read through my case and seen my statement. I reckon they just want to make sure my story coincides with my statement, perhaps putting check on my tone, clarity, and body-language.
Then its Jeslyn's turn. She stammer several times. Unprepared. Traumatized perhaps. At this stage, I couldn't care anymore.
And so, the mediator advised Jeslyn, sharing codes of conduct and society rules... that being mischievious and getting into trouble is part-and-parcel of growing up, and also ensuring her that nobody's gonna put her behind bars because she is still a minor.
"If you really did it, then its only right to own up... but if you really didn't do it, then you shouldn't own up" the mediator summed up.
Again, Jeslyn denied the action.
Ah-Neh mediator calls for a private session alone with Jeslyn and her father.
I left the room with my father. Waited outside for a good 5 mins. Mum's further outside, seated at the lobby.
Then its our turn for the private session. Went in, and the mediators told me that Jeslyn continues to deny the accusations. However, her father did agree to offer me an apology for the brother's rude actions if I were to let the matter rest.
I gave further accounts that I am a victim, that I have an eye witness, and I have every rights to believe the account of the eye witness. And that Jeslyn's statement hasn't been very consistent. That I had tried to settle the case aside with Jeslyn's brother, seeking compensation to my car and to really leave the little girl alone. Let her family lecture her for all I care. But her brother challenged me to further legal actions.
At this stage, I dun seek monetary compensation. I just want justice done - they admit and they apologise.
"I don't want to condone such behaviours".
Jeslyn and her father were called in again. They were reminded that there was a neutral-party eye witness pin-pointing her as the culprit, and were asked if they want to reconsider their answer.
Again, Jeslyn gave a negative answer.
So the mediators asked if I am agreeable with letting the matter rest, considering that she is still a child, and accept the apology from her father over the brother's rudeness.
"No, I shall bring the matter further", I replied sternly.
And so, the mediation session failed and wrapped up with Jeslyn's father and me signing on a piece of document, and the case was returned to the Magistrate Court for her further actions.
To be continue...
