I'm guilty. I'm a sinner. It has been vindicated.

Have you heard of the anime director's clock? Apparently The Daily Yomiuri announced that Hayao Miyazaka had designed a huge clock that is 12 meters high, 18 meters wide and projecting three meters forward of the building's facade, and it weight at 28 tons. Its exterior is made of 1,228 sheets of copper, each one shaped by hand. This clock is hung at the outer wall of Nippon Television Network in Shiodome, Tokyo.

This clock is being completed in 16 months(a year and four months), after the construction starts. It is preset with entertainment function. When the clock strikes, a three-minute show will be launched that features 32 different kinds of mechanically programmed motions at a time. The mechanical show is performed four times a day: at noon, 3pm, 6pm and 8pm on Saturdays and Sundays, it is also performed at 10am.

And do you know in China, singles tend to rent a lover during special occasions? According to China Daily, a psychic student at Peiking University posted an advertisement saying "A girlfriend during Spring Festival 1,000 yuan ($128) for 10 days". 20 girls had responded to this advert within 2 days. The media report said that those responded to the advert are either looking for fun or money and they warned that is could be dangerous.

While in Korea, the suicide rate has increased tremendously from 11.8 per 100,000 people in 1995 to 26.1 per 100,000 in 2005. Yuni was found hanged on Jan 21 which have shocked all of her fans who's awaiting for the release of her third album. Actress Jeong Da Bin committed suicide because of depression over shortage of work. So now you think Korea is cool? Nevertheless, I still like Korea - the nice traditional gown; its food; its culture; and the pretty girls. No doubt that there's hundreds of beautiful actress, but on my top list would be Song Hye-Kyo, Eugene, and Choi Ji Woo. Hehehe.
