This particular knife is a bit different. It has no thumb studs but it has a hole at the blade. That hole can be used to open the knife one handed too.

Here is a video on how to open it.

Knives for Dummies: How to open a knife with one hand

Feeling a bit moody after the result meeting. So today I want to teach you how to open a knife with one hand. Take note I have been practicing with knives since I was in form 3, so please be careful cause I am a professional :P

Most modern knives have thumb studs. This is not just for decorations.

You can use the thumb stud to open the knife by pushing it with your thumb, like the picture shown below.

Here's a video on how to open it.

If you flick your wrist, it will be more dramatic, but please hold the handle firmly. I will not be responsible if the knife fly and hit someone. But the first rule of knives, don't point at someone unless you intend to use it.

The "New York Drop" style of opening knives. Yup, they even have a name for it.

Hana to Hebi AKA Snake and Flower

Warning - If you are a kid, please go play with your Barbie doll, or inflatable doll :P

Snake and Flower is considered a cult film in Japan, but I managed to get my hand on a copy some years back. It is directed by Takashi Ishii. The film is based on an S&M novel written by Oniruku Dan which has reached a cult status in Japan.

While it isn't considered a "Torture Porn", like Hostel, Saw or the Butcher, it still contains some shocking scenes. I guess it started with Pasolini's Salo movie that is based on the "120 days of Sodom". Every movie fan have heard of it, but non of us have been able to locate the movie. The movie was considered so offensive that the directed was murdered shortly after that, which some speculate might be politically motivated.

But I am mumbling here, the movie review today is "Snake and Flower".

A businessman owes the yakuza some money, so they "kidnap" his wife as a replacement for the money.

The yakuza also have special show where rich people get to see girls get tortured or killed. What's up with that, that happens in Hostel too. Even in Hard Target, they organize human hunting for rich people. If I had that kind of money, I would not want to see that. Well, maybe one or two people, but I won't make it my hobby.

The rich audiences who paid a bundle just to watch

The creepy ringmaster

In another suit, don't you feel like you wanna kill him?

Some sort of water torture where the victim is forced to drink too much water..

Don't even ask. In the original DVD, there is a commentary on this scene "The Drawf with the big nose"..

Ahem, at this junction, I suddenly remembered what Chris Jericho wrote in his book (he used to wrestle in Japan), the japanese people are always courteous to each other, bowing when they meet each other. On the other hand, their magazines display young girls pissing on the beach. What contradiction..If you don't believe me, go read his book "A lion's tale" at borders.

Japanese shibari..Why do these people always wear sunglasses?

Candles

The yakuza boss, someone give him some viagra..

Make that a container of viagra

At least he died happy =.=

Fridays at TGI again...

Today I went to TGI again for dinner. Actually its not the food, but I have a lot of memories there, for example, Eda Tan's birthday, lunch with Elaine after she came back from Australia, Amy's farewell before she went to Japan and other stuff that I cannot write, otherwise I would have to kill you if you know..ha ha.

One time I went there with Ahmed and Felicia. So today's dinner, I ordered the exact same food that we had that day..

Onion soup, Ahmed loved this, but I find it too cheesy. There is a thick layer of cheese on top, plus some bread (I think) and slices of onion in the soup.

The super huge barbecue burger with onion rings and fries. Felicia cannot finish it that day, but I managed to finished mine. But I skipped the mustard, its not my taste.

If you have watched "The time traveler's wife", I am also a time traveler, but I travel back in time only through my memories....
