Exotic fragrances & free honeymoon to curb divorce rate

Yein Jee — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 15:32:37 +0000

A Malaysian state is scrambling to find ways to improve sexual relations, as the divorce rate in the state is rising in an alarming rate. There’s at least three in every ten marriages registered in the Terengganu state that ended in divorce.

Boring sex and smelly body odour were said to be the main reasons behind the break up among young folks; thus the state is thinking of inviting cosmetic firms to introduce exotic and sensuous fragrances which can arouse sexual ardour.

Earlier last month there’s also suggestions that couples on the brink of divorce to be offered free honeymoon packages to rekindle their romance.

This is turning into an interesting series; note that Terengganu is one of the most conservative states in the country… wonder what is coming next lol.

Named Love-kun, the new puppy was also born in Odate, northern Japan. The pet owner must have done something good in her past-life; having a cute dog like this is quite a blessing, having two is just heaven [image via Petsugar]

Remember the Japanese comedy skit of “getting to work in 5-minutes?” Here’s another similar piece from the same show, of “getting your kid ready to school in five minutes,” featuring comedian Tomoko Murakami.

Not as brilliant imo, but quite funny nonetheless… [again, via Japanprobe]

Nakizumo – Japanese baby crying festival

Yein Jee — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 17:05:05 +0000

Nakizumo (lit. crying sumo) is a traditional Japanese festival with 400-years of history. The event, believed to bring good health to the babies, is held annually in temples across Japan where the kids would face-off each other to see who’s crying the soonest (and loudest)…

The above video [credits to garyjpn@youtube for the upload] is probably from Hiroshima in 2009; there are other slightly different format in other places, including in Tokyo where some real sumo wrestlers were involved.
