Italian soldiers floored by 77-year-old Japanese woman

Don't believe it? Read this one.

 

Martial arts expert Keiko Wakabayshi, nicknamed the "Samurai Granny", has been hired by the country's military to train recruits in hand-to-hand combat.

 

Miss Wakabayshi, who stands exactly 5ft tall, looks tiny compared to her charges who are mostly over 6ft.

 

But the pensioner is a trained master in an array of martial arts disciplines including jujitsu, jojitso, kenjitso, judo, kendo and karate.

Have Your Say! Get Reject!

I’m pretty sure that everyone does visit Brudirect HYS to read people ranting over there. Some post are stupid and some doesn’t really make sense when they complained. That is what I hate about the website. Stupid posts are allowed to post on the website and mine got rejected today because I complained about QQ Morange cheating on prepaid user’s money which I blog before. The moderate are also somewhat stupid that can’t even manage to read properly and allowed double post the same topic again on the website. Not to mention they allowed the user posting a referral link to a rubbished online game site that earned real money which is not related to any sort of complain.

 

This is my third time same submission got rejected and I suspect QQ probably giving the Brudirect admin or moderate some pocket money to seal off the complainers about their dirty money charging service. How sweet. Looks to me like ‘Have no Fear’ slogans is just an advertise word for show only. It’s a useless place for me now to post the awareness complained about the services. I wanted to bring attention and help the locals and foreigners who are using prepaid to be more careful using Morange. But someone out there is trying to prevent my voice reaching the peoples in Brunei.

 

Anyway, one words enough for Brudirect HYS. Dissapointed!

My First Zoids Neoblox

 
I brought Zoids Neoblox - G2 Rex from Singapore last month. I always wanted to buy one back then, even when I was in capital shopping. Well, I guess I couldn’t hold myself this time. Maybe I will get more once I finished building my new PC system.

I finally got the time last Sunday to play around with it since I was so bored at home and instead of wasting my time sleeping. The box contains with three packs contain Gojulas - LBZ01, Stegoganzer – NBZ05 and Raptojauar – NBZ04. Damn, don’t you think that’s a really cool name for the toys? Anyway, first thing first, no spraying is done on the toys. I choose not to spray as it required lots of fix on the parts. I only do the lining using the Bandai maker. It does look good by the way without spraying. ^^

Singapore Day 2 – To Bugis, Celebrate my Birthday Dinner

This was after PC Show and we went straight to Bugis Junction for shopping and also at the same time meeting my brother. I didn’t know it was also one of the popular locations for shopping! Okay, I didn’t even know the Sim Lim Square is just ahead of me. ^^;;; I only know my brother kept on saying just there and there. My question is where? In the end I still look at the map in the MRT ground to look for SLS.

 

We first take a rest nearby the water fountain. I also feel very tired walking nonstop at PC Show and carried all the stuffs with me all days. After a few minute rests including enjoys watching Mei Mei around me. ^^ I decided to waste no time and walk around the building and snap some nice photos for memories. Of course, this includes some shops I visit.

 

I was warned actually that I can’t take photos inside the building by the security guard. I didn’t bother about the warning. I don’t think there are anything wrong taking photo inside the building as a tourist. I’m sure it must be the rules from the BHG Company. I got even chase away by them because I was resting and sitting near the front glass door. As if they think I look like a beggar or some sort eye sore. What to do?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here’s the inside photos taken in Bugis Junction and BHG. First one is The Design T-Shirts Store Graniph. They advertise one T-shirt for S$35.00 and two for S$60.00. I have to admit the T-shirts are not bad at all. If you are interested, you can check out the official website for more information on the designs and you can even buy directly from their online store (available shipping to Brunei).

 

 

Another great street clothes to introduced, the DCP (Delicious Clothing from Pavalon). One of the Singapore own clothing brand (according to the website). You can also buy it from online. But currently the store is in site maintenance. I did found another link, it’s Slurplife.com. I’m not sure if they are related.

 

 

 

Alright, I’m sure many of you don’t like to miss out any book stores in Singapore. At Bugis Junction, you can find Kinokuniya upper floor. The only things I went there to look are comics and Gundam magazines. I didn’t buy any single magazine from the store. I have to say it is really expensive comparing purchasing from HLJ.com. Nonetheless, you can find many of your favorite books and magazine.

 

 

 

Here’s another one, the Absolute Comics shop selling mostly American comics and toys. I did see some Japanese toys there. It’s worth to check out if you are superheroes reader and collectors.

 

 

 

If you happen wanted to look for Japanese accessories shop, you may want to check this shop out. Sorry, I do not know how to name of the shop. ^^; No worry, you can find many nice stuffs over, you just need enough money to get it.

 

 

To BHG toys section. I couldn’t really stop myself loving checking out toys no matter where I go. The first thing I check is Gundam models.

 

 

 

Once we joined up with my brother. We follow my brother and walk to Park Royal at Beach Road where we had our dinner at Si Chuan Dou Hua Resturant. You can order as a choice like buffet and foods is quite nice over there. We were actually surprise by the master doing a kung fu posed pouring the tea.

 

 

 

 

More photos taken when I was on the way back.

Singapore Day 2 – Before PC Show 2008

My first day waking up in Singapore doesn’t seem to refreshing for me. I can feel the heat at starting 7AM morning. The weather there is quite worst compare in Brunei. You can’t really feel the wind coming. I couldn’t really sleep that time and so my mom decided bring us walk around in Simei.

 

Honestly, I don’t really understand the place either. My mom told us that we are going too walked at least seven minute to Tampines market to have breakfast over there. My mind stop for few second and question myself, weren’t we suppose already in Simei? Strange, so we continue to walk across the sky bridge to the parks on the other side. At the same time, I took some nice photos.

 

It says you get fine for S$1k if you ride on Sky Bridge.

 

 

Hmmm….seems like he doesn’t care at all.

 

 

More...

 

 

 

The park is really nice over there. If you happen to do morning exercise over there, you will find some nice fitness equipments over there and can be used it for free.

 

 

Love the place build.

 

 

That building is called Tampines Changkat Community Club. You can see it when you walk to the market place. Never been had a dared chance going inside before. ^^;;; I thought I can played basketball. LOL

 

 

Morning dogs training. The dogs behave rather well and follow their master instructions.

 

 

There! Tampines market place. The breakfast is cheap over there and I pay as low as S$1.30 for the foods and the drinks should be around $1.00. But the foods are very salty. According to the cooks over there, the customers love salty foods. O_O That was surprising.

 

 

After finished our breakfast, we head back home and prepared heading to PC show. Of course, we didn’t just head over there. We instead go to East Point to stock up our own mobile phone number from M1. In case, everyone got lost with each other’s while shopping. I really have to say the calling rate is damn cheap.

 

 

Then we go to the ground floor to get some lunch at Hanis Café’s and Bakery.

 

 

Nice chicken chops with potatoes and soup. Nice!
