Eating lunch in Yokohama Arena. 
The Manga Page that Made My DayRemember to read from right to left (top to bottom first, of course).
Man, that was pretty satisfying. Wear cat ears somemore la.
Japanator had a call for contribution for inserting your own caption/editing a manga page. The results were pretty awesome. Including this strange but amusing panel:
Umineko is One Piece RipoffI knew it. It matches the narration, the music and even the sound effects of the original! The pirates look very rich though. I like how Battler is struggling with the boat, so uncool lol.

Yup, I’m reading One Piece Manga Now
Yes, your friendly neighbourhood slice-of-life loving friend took a new step into a long-running shounen manga. A bit late huh. More like 12 years too late!
Started a few days ago and I just finished Princess Vivi’s chapter, which is chapter 230+. IT WAS AWESOME! Love the scene above. And Robin has joined the crew too. Another 350 more to go before I get in par with the rest!
You see, I’m not the type of person who would commit himself to such a long series. But I’ve been interested in the universe for the longest time. Been watching its openings on YouTube for years!
For one thing, I love pirates, thanks to a certain Skies of Arcadia. Similar to the RPG, One Piece has this friends-looking-out-for-each-other feel without lovey-dovey bits getting in the way. And unlike Bleach and Naruto, it doesn’t take itself seriously: It’s all about adventure, overcoming odds and ugly manly-teary-eyed faces.
You could say it’s similar to my love for Gurren Lagann.
It’s no surprise that it is the highest selling manga in history. For years One Piece remains at the top of the manga sales chart and is still the top 10 most watched anime in Japan week after week. Bleach and Naruto are nowhere to be seen.
Can’t decide which one is my favourite opening. One is good for the action, one for introducing different characters, the other for nostalgia, all for music.
EJU Done, Onwards to JLPT! (Nah, WoW first…)

Yummy Gifts from Malaysia
Daniel and his lovely wife arrived in Tokyo last night and brought some nice gifts from Malaysia. Maggi Asam Laksa, Baba’s curry powder and Thai chilli sauce. Thanks dude!
Btw I’ll be busy showing the couple around and I have a national Japanese exam called EJU (Examination for Japanese University Admission) this Sunday, so I won’t update my blog till then. Wish me luck!

Touhou Vid – Bad Apple
Even if you have no idea what Touhou is, watch it for the visuals. This has gotta be the most stylized and tastefully designed Touhou-related video I have ever seen. Features most of the popular characters in the Touhou universe.
Again, the power of doujin culture shines with bewildering creativity. Thanks, Zun.
A YouTube Walk thru Tokyo and Kyoto
So hey, some of you are not as lucky as me and can’t enjoy life here in Tokyo :P Still, thanks to YouTube and a guy with a good camera, you can enjoy the sights and sounds of Tokyo in stunning clarity, as if you were really there!
Why stop at Tokyo when a bullet train away in real life is just a click away online!
Sure brings back memories of my Kyoto trip in 2006. After watching this, I suggest you browse through my Kyoto trip from the bottom of the sidebar on the right, you will see some familiar sights.
Enjoy your walk!

Malware Problem Solved
Man, this is what happens when you host your blog on your own server :S
Someone hacked into my index.php and inserted some stupid <script> tag thingy. It was recognized as Malware. For you Firefox users, Google Advisory gave a strong warning against coming here, the rest had their malware detection alarm come up.
Just wanna let you know how I solved it, in case you might run into the same problem in the future:
So sorry for the inconvenience, but ahbonk.net is genki again!
