This is my second post today.

I almost collided with a TAXI today.

Was cruising along the small road, nearing my 3pm meeting destination. All of a sudden, this GREEN TAXI with obviously a moronic driver dashes out of the T Junction without any warning.

I braked real hard. My handbag flew out of the seat, my files fell off the seat, my magazines fell with a thud to the floor. I horrrrrneed like a maniac at the As*H*Le - too bad I don't have those lorry horns. The dumb F**K must have got a shock of his life and braked and stopped his vehicle in the middle of the two lane road, causing me to swerve to the left and almost hitting the lamp post. I managed to take a good look at the driver's face - wrinkly faced uncle with white hair..............I'm not sure he even noticed my killer stares but at least he lifted his hand and gave me that apolegetic wave.

I must have missed both the lamp post and the moron by inches.

WHAT A DAY..i am still a little shaken.

Monsterrrrrrrr

What is it??????

IT'S DOMO-KUN....a creature supposedly hatched from an egg and known to pass gas when nervous or upset. This is Calene's Otaku (obsession) and something I got for her burd-day. Those old school toys where you wind the screw and it starts to walk..and yes, that's what she, me and Sooyin did at the mamak in Paramount last night......

OK OK talk about lameness. That's cause I am waiting to go collect my passport. Renewed my passport over the kiosk in Pusat Bandar Damansara this morning, but it's a 2 hour wait to collect it.

Dandruff

I've got a HORRID case of dandruff lately ..u know those white flaky lil things on ur head and watch it gather on a dark surface when you scratch your head...I don't know why ....and I did some research and found you can actually get addicted to scratching the dandruff flakes from your head...... see http://www.steadyhealth.com/addicted_to_scratching_the_dandruff_flakes_from_my_head_t128926.html

This is soooooo depresssssiiinnnnnnggggggggggg :( Now nobody wanna come near me anymoreeeeeeee..

What causes dandruff?

Could it be the Nioxin or my Sunsilk shampoo........

Now I have started to use Head and Shoulders Anti Dandruff.....but apparently that doesn't really help..

My colleague, Mimi suggested using lemon and scrubing in on your scalp for a couple of days.......some traditional method

Haiya...Sigh..I am finally home...

Arrived home yesterday around 5.30pm. It is incredible how the check-in counter girl allowed me and mom's 50kg luggages for check in. On top of that we had at least 10kg of hand luggages each.

Took me more than 2 hours to unpack and sort out my b*tch*s and the boys' souvenirs last night. Crraaazzzy!!! And jimjim was the first to get his 'presento' this morning. He said the packing too nice wor..so he's not gonna open it until the end of the day perhaps. Leave it in his office first for ppl to see-see!

Mom think's I'm crazy to buy so many different types to 'kit kat'...

And Bert got a little jealous cause he has now got 5 new friends to share the house with. Elmo in so many different colours...I did not buy all the colours they were available in simply because I miscalculated the cost of each one...not that they were much cheaper with my initial calculation...

So just some pictures and a quick description of what I did since my last post...

A day trip to Yokohama....

Yokohama commercial port and the bridge from a distant on a rainy day..

A short tour of the Rose Garden..I bet the blooming roses during spring would be gorgeous...

Japanese people maybe like to have strange names in the medical profession...I wonder what doctors like to diagnose patients in the 'Bluff Clinic'..remember the ANAL SPECIALIST (below picture posted last week?)

Yokohama's Chinatown - the largest in Japan and one of the largest in the world...

......has really good dim sum, but it's super duper costly, for a table of 6 who did not eat excessively, the bill came up to about RM600.

After the Mandarin Oriental experience ended, I checked out to stay with the Omori's in a town called Onta-chyo. I was told that in Japan, vegetables are more expensive than meat, so it's more economical to grow your own vegetables. So, Omori-san and his wife rented a small plot of land to plant their own 'yasai' for Y40,000 a year.

During winter, they normally grow cauliflowers and brocolis. They taste so good, you can even eat it on its own (like Gardenia bread) and raw. No chemicals used!!!

After I had enough of shopping, shopping and shopping....I took a stroll in Shinjuku gyoen, a park in busy Shinjuku (entrance fee costs Y200), about 10 minutes walk from Takashimaya...

See the sign on the far right that says 'no alcohol'. Ha ha..so which means some of my friends (you know who you are), probably would not set foot in the park...
