Patrick Quek — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 00:01:21 +0000

\\r\\n\\r\\nWhen it comes to the no-mouth kitty, we are biased.

This cam features a 2.6-inch TFT, 3X optical zoom, image stabilizer and red eye reduction capabilities, 41mb of internal storage and a SDHC card slot. The biggest draw is the pink, sparkling crystals around the lens.\\r\\n\\r\\nUsing this digital camera can make one feel like a princess, just like Hello Kitty. 47250 yen ($525) for one.\\r\\n\\r\\nImage: Sanrio | Via:Newlaunches

The Manga Guide to Databases, Teach Yourself The Basics Of SQL By Jap Comics

Patrick Quek — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 00:01:20 +0000

When we are thinking of saving a princess, we think in terms of rescuing her from a mean dragon, an arrogant stepmother or something like King Koopa aka Bowser. The word “databases” won’t even flash across our minds once.

However, in the Kingdom of Kod, you got to use databases to help Princess Ruruna in managing the country’s fruit selling empire. The Manga Guide to Databases is a guide to help you learn the basics of databases and SQL commands from Tico the fairy.

If you are not the technie type, then just drool over the manga. $17.99 for the book, published by Ohmsha, Ltd., of Tokyo, Japan.

Next Level By Ayumi Hamasaki, In Angelic USB Drive

Patrick Quek — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 00:01:41 +0000

In your course of seeking and appreciating Japanese pop (J-pop), you should have come across someone by the name of Ayumi Hamasaki. To me, she’s more than a someone, she’s an empress, a diva, a legend.

Her new album of 2009, Next Level, will be available on a 2GB USB memory stick that is bundled with 13 songs and 6 promotional videos. The design with her iconic logo and a wing of an angel is just heavenly. The price also deserves the same status at 6800 yen ($74).

Gloomy Bear & Hello Kitty, The Gloomy Kitty Phone Strap

Patrick Quek — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 00:01:56 +0000

Hello Kitty may not be so innocent and cute after all. When the mouthless feline meets the world’s most gloomy bear, hell breaks loose. We are not sure that the red traces on the kitty’s face is the ketchup she’s holding. It may be blood. It may be tomato sauce. But we all know Hello Kitty has really changed.

630 yen ($6.67) for the Strapya Gloomy Kitty cellphone strap, comes in 2 designs.

Japan Maid’s Legs As Pillow, Awww…That’s Nice

Patrick Quek — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 00:01:34 +0000

When we are not blogging, we take a rest on our boring pillows. We realized not pillows are created equal when we bumped into this comfy that takes the form of a pair of legs of an Akihabara maid or *cough* young wife. 2380 yen ($26) for some leggy comfort.

Frankly, we don’t think sleeping on it will do it justice.

Baby Mop, Your Toddler’s Best Friend

Patrick Quek — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 00:01:21 +0000

Parents should take full responsibility in keeping the house spanking clean but we know that a little help from the baby is appreciated. The Baby Mop can be used for the toddler to crawl and erm, clean the floor at the same time.

Is it good for the little treasure? You decide.
