Matrix - Japanese Ping Pong

My Korean friend sent this You Tube video to me today. What a genuis work I thought !. I used to see this show in the Japanese TV some times ago, but not this particular work.



I think there is a competition for such work every year and broadcasted in the TV. Some were really work of genius !

Pepsi Ice Cucumber VS Coca-cola Zero

Pepsi Japan with its eye-catching Listerine green color new drink - ICE CUCUMBER.



Coca-cola also has its new drink - COCA-COAL ZERO


I bought both today at the convinience store, both cost me 145 yen each (about RM 4.50 each bottle). Too expensive , not worth trying, both tasted NOT SO GOOD.

But PEPSI ICE CUCUMBER has very nice color, while COCA COLA ZERO looks like "soya souce".


Watch this funny Coca-cola Zero ad.


My friend posted a video on Pepsi Ice Cucumber too.

Japan Pension Problem - Used For Golf Resort ? !


Pension-records scandal is the hottest news in Japan this week. There has been incidents of lost records of pension accounts- causing panic among millions of aging pensioners.

Apparently, this very powerful group of people, most in their 50's, 60's and even 70's who were the work force behind Japan's economy boom, has lost their confidence on the ruling party, the Liberal Democrat Party (LDP).

The Prime Minister has even ordered 24-hr tele-service to account checking. But, some even complained that they couldn't get through the line at all. The very next morning, Pension branches across the country were in chaos. Things got worse when the computer server went down.

At the moment to writing this, Zero News (11pm news in japan), revealed another scandal involving how the ruling party has wasted the Pension money by building golf resorts across the country (Green-Pia Golf resort). The resort suffered heavy lost and were bought over by another company at a great lost.

Economist has an article on this issue too.
