Some nice movie posters:

Mr. A: We have a Malaysian went to space!
Mr. B: Wow! Congrates! Did you built the space shutter?
Mr. A: No…
Mr. B: Did you join in the building of the space shutter?
Mr. A: No…
Mr. B: Did you get to learn to build the space shutter?
Mr. A: No…
Mr. B: What is your man doing up there?
Mr. A: First we plan to have our proud teh tarik in space, to promote our Malaysia culture. Later we think Roti Canai would be fun too. How about a batik show? Hmm…last week we decided on doing more serious medical experiments in space, since the astronaut is a doctor…
Mr. B: What sort of experiments?
Mr. A: Medical scientific experiments…should be important and only can be done in space.
Mr. B: How much did you pay to go to space?
Mr. A: We got it FREE! We bought some fighter planes and the nice Russian gives us a FREE trip to space.
Mr. B: Ok…good luck.
Mr. A: Thanks. Malaysia Boleh!

It is 1.23am now…still got some work to do…communicating with a potential supplier…

Min na-san Konbanwa.

Megumi-chan no mama desu. Kyo hajimete kono burokku ni posuchingu, yoroshiku onegai shimasu.

Many might not know…as this has not been widely advertised or promoted by Nikon themselves.

See:

http://www.mitsubishi.com/php/users/category_search.php?lang=1

Yeah…Nikon is actually a subsidiary company under� Mitsubishi Group.

Megumi went for BCG Vacine injection yesterday. In Japan, their BCG injection “symbol” is very unique. There are MANY holes. Not just one…but many! I did not count…but I think is around 9 x 2 holes. Yes, it is like stamping. Two stamps with many needles (9 each I think). Doctor put “something” on the needles and then PRESS HARD onto Megumi’s left hand.

Very painful for sure, she was crying hard with tears wet all over her face… :’(

Here’s the photo of Day 1…

Here’s close-up:

Thank you, Jesus my Lord!

Today marks the exact two years I am in Japan. I arrived in Japan on 4th Oct 2005, together with my wife.

Today, God has blessed me with Megumi and my wife is still here by my side to take care of me and our whole family.

God’s grace has been overflowed…we have nothing less, more than enough than what we have ever imagine. God has blessed us in my study, my family, my business, my friends, my brothers and sisters.

Life in Japan is like a dream…soon I will be leaving…soon I might come back again…God’s grace and guidance is always the best. I just want to say…

Thank you, Lord!

This is really crazy…can you imagine?!!! If you did not use to a certain amount of electricity, you will be fined. Yeah…paying money as penalty because you did not meet TNB minimum usage requirement…

This is MONOPOLY! How can the government allow that?!!!

Is it a Nikon DSLR? Is it their secret Nikon DSLR? Is it D2Xs? Is it a Canon 1Ds MK II?

Nah…it is a medium format with Phase One P-45 back! (Ok, we don’t know what camera they are using with the P-45 digital back). Nikon forgot to delete the exif info in their D300 product shot. Click on the file/photo below and check out the exif. Guess what software they are still using nowadays to edit the photo?!

What do you need when renewing your student visa?

Before I came to Japan, I was given 2 years visa pass. Now…in Oct 4th, my visa will be due. I need to renew my visa two weeks before the due date.

Here’s what the required documents:

1. Scholarship/letter of scholarship from Hiroshima University
2. Letter of attendance (meaning that you do attend the classes or go to the university)
3. Letter of student’s results (showing what grade you got for your classes in the university)
4. Passport
5. Alien card (yeah…Japanese calls foreigner alien…)

1~3 just go to the administration office of your faculty and they will assist/prepare you with that. For 2 &3, you can actually print it out from the “machine” using your student card. Free of charge.

You will need to fill in some lengthy form at the foreign registration center in Hiroshima-shi. Just go to the country and ask for the form. Tell them you want to renew your visa and they will give you the form.

Update:

I just got my new renewed visa today. One year extension. Fee? Yeah…need to pay JPY4000 per person. Any other document needed? No, but I was actually supposed to wait for the foreign office to post me a card telling me my visa is ready before I went, thank God I manage to get the visa today too and the people there are very nice and efficient.

One thing I notice. They have official lunch time from 12pm-1pm, but the staffs there never use the time till full. They will take their lunch quickly, and then come back to work. This is Japanese culture, their working style, which is the very main reason they can be such a develop and successful country/nation.

I found and discovered something interesting on ebay today.

It is a shame with this kind of title that makes UTM popular…

Below are the quote from The Star newspaper:

PETALING JAYA: Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) lost about RM900,000 worth of assets such as computers and LCD screens in six years � because just about anybody could borrow the items and not return them.

The Auditor-General’s report said that there was lax security and monitoring at the university, allowing people to steal easily.

Examples of this included no closed-circuit television cameras installed in strategic areas, no grilles on windows and doors, and too many people sharing the same key to a lab or office, the report said.

It was also reported that almost all offices and faculties did not maintain records on equipment usage.

The AG audited both campuses in Skudai, Johor, and Kuala Lumpur, and found that of the RM854,346 total loss of assets, RM605,761 (70.9%) worth were stolen from 2004 to August 2006.

It also said that the cases increased from three in 2001 to 22 in 2006. Read More

We often hear the term “grey product” when shopping online, especially in USA shops.

What is GREY PRODUCT? Why USA shops use the word GREY for their parallel import products? The reason is simple: because the origin of the product is unknown, hence making it a grey (not white not black) product with unknown origin. In USA, shops will not tell you where their grey products came from. It can be China, Japan, Hong Kong…etc., unknown.

ShaShinKi.com parallel import products are official from Japan, I stated it clearly. You know the origin, you will have the Japan warranty card (sometimes no), Japanese menu…etc. That is why it is not called as grey product. If you know the origin of a product, you can’t call it grey set anymore.

When you go shopping oversea and bought a DSLR from say Singapore shop, do you call it a grey product? NO, because it is an official product in Singapore and you have all the document and you know the origin of the product.

People nowadays like to use GREY PRODUCT name too simply without knowing what they are talking about…hope this post will clear the cloud and give GREY a clearer definition.

Martin, one of our brother in Megumi Church is leaving for Philippines today. Received his call this morning at around 8.45am, he was at Kansai Airport. He is going to Philippines for biblical school study for 3 years. He is an English, coming to Asia to preach the gospel to many.

May God bless him and continue be with him always. May God guide him and lead him throughout the high and low path in his life. In Jesus name I prayed, amen.

Amazing Grace

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That sav�d a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.

�Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears reliev�d;
How precious did that grace appear,
The hour I first believ�d!

Thro� many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
�Tis grace has brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.

The Lord has promis�d good to me,
His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.

Yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease;
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.

The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, who call�d me here below,
Will be forever mine.

John New�ton, Ol�ney Hymns (Lon�don: W. Ol�i�ver, 1779)

“Amazing Grace” Lyrics

Amazing Grace (How sweet the sound)
That sav’d a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.

‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears reliev’d;
How precious did that grace appear,
The hour I first believ’d!

Thro’ many dangers, toils and snare,
I have already come;
‘Tis grace has brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.

The Lord has promised good to me.
His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.

Yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease;
I shall profess, within the vail,
A life of joy and peace.

The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, who call’d me here below,
Will be for ever mine.

I first heard about this movie when I made my visit to UK in March. My sister told me about the movie, and I saw the poster of the movie on a bus in Glasgow.

The song is beautiful…and I am waiting for the DVD version to be released so that I can purchase it and watch together with my wife and friends.

Here’s the official site of the movie:

You judge.

Earth quake today at the place where I stay, Higashi-Hiroshima. I live at 9th floor, a 10th floor building, so I can feel the earth quake quite clearly. My wife felt it a few seconds before me, and the shaking last for around 10 seconds (I think). After checking Yahoo weather, my place is experiencing 3rd degree of earth quake. Not as strong as I felt before, as last time there were things falling in my kitchen.

Below is some summary from Yahoo, where you can get full report at:
