The turn I have just taken
The turn that I was making
I might be just beginning
I might be near the end

Ever since the Naughty Nyukster said that he was told he resembled Suneo from Doraemon, it was as if he told us not to think about pink elephants - when we see him we could actually superimpose Suneo's features over his for a bit of a match. :P
Sorry yah. Cannot be helped. We actually can not think about pink elephants and the such, but Suneo over your face...
But it does make us think back to our experiences with Doraemon ourselves. :P We used to tolerate the forced falsetto Malay dubs and followed the Malay-translated mangaka for a long while (yes like said we be banana, don't understand Chinese in all its forms). Imagine our surprise when we watched a Cantonese episode for the first time: "Har? Xiao Ding Dang has such a low voice one ar?...actually, that sounds so much better." And we've never watched an original Japanese episode before so can't tell who was more faithful to the original (but think about it, would it be possible for the high pitched Malay-dubbed to be correct?).
The charm of the entire thing was, of course, in the many many different gadgets Doraemon introduced in each episode (asides from his mouse phobia and pulling out a heapful of garbage when he panics).
So here's the thing - among Doraemon's recurring objects, if you had a choice of owning one, which would it be? Ok, some limitations - the 4D pouch doesn't contain anything inside ok? Ok ok, let's say you also have a 4D pouch to keep said item of choice.
Ours would be the dokodemo-doa - the anywhere door, or the pintu suka hati. Heh.
No more worries about carrying passports around. Or missing a train/plane. Or transit times! Now imagine cross-country shopping. Bah, we don't have to rush from work to FF The Curve for the 6.20pm classes! Need some therapeutic time-off to laze? Hello, Lake Districts or Loch Lomond or Loch Ness. Scenic night view? Straight up the Eiffel Tower without needing to bloody pay to head up past third floor and for the top floor.Oh, the possibilities are endless. We feel slightly faint. And it's a step toward environmentally friendliness, since we don't need to travel by car or such.
Alternatively, if we can't get the dokodemo-doa, perhaps if we're allowed to set up a few waypoints a la Diablo 2?

Haven't come across Doraemon before. But an anywhere door sounds jolly useful to me. (You could come visit us to play Carcassonne, hee).
Doraemon and tech freak here :)
There was one particular Doraemon object that I liked: it let you put a piece of your soul? or something like that into a person - and you could control them. Sorta blow your soul / spirit / control into a mouthpiece attached to a gun aimed at the person and the next thing you know is that you can control that person. Highly useful when I want to manipulate somebody. Bwahahahaha!
But if you had Pintu Suka Hati , no more excuses to be late, yeah? Hahaha...But I agree the door is cool, very handy- can make cherry blossom trees blossom, or peaches appear on peach trees...
Oh... the "joy door"!
Japanese dubbed Doraemon has a freakingly feminine voice, I suspect female!
sam that's soooo Ino's "ninpo shintenshin no jutsu" from naruto. lol. i think i would like the ever so useful helicopter fan head gear thingymajiggy.
not only does it allow easy travelling, but you can also enjoy the journey! i suppose the only problem would be the wind messing up my hair. argh.
Naughty Nyukster!?
If I remember correctly, it was called "Pintu Ke Mana Saja" and it usually opened into Sizuka's bathroom while she's in it.
Would rather get the time traveling machine that was hidden in the drawer.
I want the door and buluh terbang.
I agree...
with the pintu sesuka hati, I can appear right infront of you, take a big bite off your food before u MMS it ot me.
bong that's evil. With the door, can appear inside his bathroom. Peep at him
Hrugaar: We could. Or you could come over and play with the board game group here.
Cyclohelix: Techie! Our Doraemon days are over tho'. :P
Sam: Interesting...although don't recall if that's a recurring item in their episodes...you should check out Code Geass?
NJAPF: We can still be fashionably late. :P What's this about trees?
Jason: Really? but then again there's been female dubbers voicing male parts like Naruto and Bart Simpson...
Adrien: The taketombo or take-copter. Haha not necessary to fix on the head, that. It's only problem may be that it can't travel too far - the battery always dies.
William: Yeah, that did happen a lot! Good thing she's in the tub most of the time. :P
Henry: Heh. Time travelling's complicated, mind. But that's your item of choice.
Chester: Just one, we said! And just what are you thinking? Greedy, naughty boys shall be punished. :P
Bong: But we MMS you long after we've finished eating, see...bwahahaha!
We could. We would love to. We probably will one day. But we're out of leave days for the rest of this year. :o\ And you need to come see our park too la.
Heh, we were meaning via the anywhere door. But for actual trips, first we'll have to morph into some skinflint fellow and mend our spendthrift ways first. :S
The rock you're on and your park is now on our 'to visit' list!
Chester: And both us and Bong's girlfriend might just kill Bong if he ever attempt to appear in our bathroom.
Ah... maybe I failed to mention that it was a combination of "pintu sesuka hati" and the time machine in the drawer.
So beware, I'll just mysteriously appear right before u take the 1st bite. Don't worry, I'll only take ONE big bite off your food, and spit on the rest.
Bwahahahahaha*cough choke*hahahahah!
