Fated?

After waited for 2 weeks anticipating the new gadget, finally he got it on last Friday. It was an iphone. Very fun to play with. It’s elegant too. He had it hacked. Otherwise, the phone will not be a phone. So he had it as a real phone for ONE day. Then this morning, it dropped. The display went out and couldn’t be powered up. It’s a gone case. Sadly…..
It’s like you spill your coffee on your laptop OR have the car banged OR being robbed off few hundred bucks OR some other bad things. Mixed feeling of sad, anger, hopeful, praying for mercy.

But a friend of his also had it dropped and it was ok. A check in the internet also pointed out the phone will work well even after numerous rigorous drops. A new hope, perhaps. Alternative plan is to have it restored or send for repair. Otherwise, it’s a gone case.

What a great day to start with!!


Every event comes with a good thing in disguise too.

The gadget is good, everything touch screen, looks canggih.

He got it with RM1127. No warranty, as he has hacked it so that he can use it as a phone (for his SIM card).

Day 2: A visit to some of The Tokyo Toilet project

On the second day of my trip, I decided to visit some of the public toilets under The Tokyo Toilet project. The idea was inspired by the film  Perfect Days . Since the public toilets under this project are scattered around western side of Tokyo, I visited a few in Shibuya area, which are quite close to each other. One notable location is Yoyogi Park.  One of the highlights of these designer toilets is the transparent toilet. Its transparent glass walls will turn opaque when the door is locked. This feature is based on the electrochromic effect. However, this feature is unavailable during late autumn and winter, which coincided my visit. The key takeaway from this visit: an eye opening experience about toilet culture and social inclusivity.

Japan trip 2024

Just returned from a solo trip to Japan end of last month. The trip coincided with a conference in Sendai. It was an 8-day trip, including 2 days of travel. Took a direct flight from KL to Tokyo on the afternoon of October 23rd (Wednesday), arriving that night. By the time I cleared immigration, it was almost midnight. Then took a train to downtown Shimbashi. Without detailed research on the location of my booked capsule hotel, I ended up walking in the wrong direction and almost being harassed by roadside pimps (lol). After getting free Wi-Fi at a convenience store, finally able to find the hotel. Once checked in, took a hot bath (it was an open bath). That was the end of the day.  In-flight meal of ANA airline Male-only capsule hotel with open hot spring You can browse manga for free after soaking
