I'd like to share some of the innovative Japanese gadgets that could make very good and thoughtful gifts. Some of my favourites are shown here. We do not stock these goods currently. However, if there is sufficiently high demand and advanced orders, we might consider bringing them in. Meanwhile, have some laughs.


How wonderful would it be to dispense with butter knife and butter.
No mess, no fuss.

A comforter cum companion - new generation two in one pillow for swinging singles who don't want to be tied down by troublesome relationships.

That's cool! A ramen fan that cools the noodles as you slurp the noodle soup.

Can't get a seat on the metro home after a tiring day? No sweat! This chin supporting pole allows you to rest peacefully and safely while standing.

Interesting Sign boards, Instructions, Posts and Banners

Signs that will make you smile, laugh, cry or not know how to react.

A satirical signboard at the zoo which I believe is both effective and authoritative but not sure if it's convincing though. Everyone believes they are sweet.

Folks are clearly impatient with the poor service and have no restraint on making their unhappiness known to everyone. Red alert in making a point.

This would be a more philosophical way of looking at things.

Take it easy and don't get too worked up. Being happy will keep you looking young.

The sign says it all : if you don't have brains, don't use this machine, can't expect a machine to do the thinking for you. Tsk ... how condescending.

Don't you feel there's a slip in the statistical assumptions? No one in the right frame of mind would agree they are mentally unbalanced.

I love this one. But I'm not sure if it will put an end to office politics, slack work attitude and poor ethics.



Answering call of nature : hygiene issues

A multilingual signboard which hopefully dog owners and their pets could understand and adhere to. Paraphrase : Be responsible : pick up the dog poo.

We know this perennial problem. Hope you'd understand, do your part and the toilet cleaner would be grateful.

Health Concerns


Self explanatory - smokers should be more considerate and show their loving kindness to all living beings.

Last but not least, this is one of my favourites -- very insightful and thought provoking!

Don't panic - something to smile about swine flu?

Here's some comic relief to lighten up admist fears and panic of swine flu :

If you receive an email from the Department of Health telling you not to eat tinned pork because of swine flu -


Ignore it!


It's just spam.

True or false?
Fact : you can't get swine flu by eating pork that is well cooked.
However, you may not want to get too close to pig farms.

Warning :
There are so many claims about swine flu on the internet these days. People can make a potential pandemic worse by spreading misinformation and panic. Please do not assume that everything you read is truthful - emails, on unofficial websites, or via social networking sites. Some are just meant for humor, others are plain mischief.
