  i never liked sakae sushi; i know can't expect much for "fast food" jappy but i find it really difficult to even pay that for jappy

  think the "fast food" jappy i go for are those from isetan

  sucky sushi used to be okay.. then it got really horrific...

  i think i'll stick to a few places occasionally... and go to the "fish market" places in Parkway and West Coast Plaza for good cuts of fish

  Not all Japanese imports come from the affected area, and if you think about it, they need our patronage even more now.

  Yes so end of the day it's a personal choice

  Isn't it time ppl excercised personal responsibility on their health?

  I find it really tragic that the Government hv to step in to ensure that people eat healthy to THAT extent.

  Potatoes a fair bit is from USA and also a lot from Holland

  This generation can be summed up in 3 phrases:

  "It's not my fault."

  "What are my rights?"

  "I'm a victim."

  To reference JFK, this generation is asking, "What can my government do for me?" and not "What can I do for myself/my country?"

  This is how a lot of people are conditioned to view the world, since they grew up not knowing what real hardship is. It's a truly scary thought.

  "so what, dun care, not my problem"

  "do for me"

  "gimme me more"

  Simply, they're trying the very best to reduce dependency from M'sia

  i'm home.. the Xperia Arc is pretty good but the battery life when using the apps is lousy... mostly because of the screen...

  the batt thing in there said that 70% of the power used is to power the Sony Bravia screen 

  also in other news, the thing is so new none of the ahbeng shops have accessories for it... i'll be going to the sony shop to look for a spare batt

  I believe that's a common problem with many new smartphones.... battery capacity just hasn't kept up with cellphone technology.

  I can still remember how I could bring a monochrome display handphone to camp and have it go for an entire week before it needed recharging.

  Now, I bought another USB cable for my HTC Desire just so that I can charge it up while I'm working.
