![]() Japan Trip (I)
Thursday, December 25, 2008, 5:15 AM
I heart* Japan!I really did not want to come back to Singapore. I did not take a lot of photos and i'm just too tired to upload. First Day~ I went to Disneyland upon arrival at the Narita Airport in tokyo. I didn't sleep a wink throughout the journey because the plane is so stuffy. It wasn't comfortable at all. It was the A380. I don't like it at all. I had to stand up and sit and the staircase to breathe. Throughout the 7hour journey, I just was not feeling comfortable at all.PLUS, the breakfast is HORRIBLE. So, imagine how grumpy i got when i arrived there. We went to Disneyland and it was just so loud everywhere. And I do not like stuffed toys and cartoons for god's sake. I was practically having a headache. The themed restaurant's food in Tokyo Disneyland sucks and it's expensive! We bought 4 person's share and it costs around $50! URGH. OH everything there is spoken in Japanese throughout the trip, no translation at all. I had no idea what they were saying and i just keep hearing "so desne, hik" and stuff. I had a terrible day there. Second Day~ Last Day We went to Tokyo Tower and I swear that it's better than the Eiffel Tower. Seriously. It's magnificent! Okay, i kind of forget what happened. Anyway, I went onto Mt. Fuji. I thought it was still active. haha. Hmm, I went to their shrines, and shopped a bit. I am lousy at buying souvenirs. So i got you all chopsticks. Hahaha, i think it's quite cute leh. The japanese guys are cute! Not girly at all. The girls there are seriously not afraid of the cold. They wore shorts and boots when i was wearing thick winter clothes. They're so pretty. But they put on quite a lot of makeup. All of the women, including senior citizens. I sat on the bullet train too. But it wasn't very exciting cos i experienced it before. But the interior of it is very cool. It resembles an airplane actually. Haha. I shopped at the factory outlet and bought some stuffs! We didn't get to go to shibuya tho :( I like their convenience store! OH, and try their Kobe beef! I like it! haha, the tour guide said the cow is massaged,they listen to classical music and drink beer too! But it's really nice lar. The puffer fish is nice also. I never like sashimi but the puffer fish is really worth the money. They don't export puffer fish out of the country cos it's not even enough for themselves. We then went to Osaka and shopped at the famous shinsabashi or something. Haha, and i bought a bag! Yay! Then we rushed all the way out for dinner-- shabu shabu. I don't think it's very nice though. They don't have the sauce that my father used to buy from Daimaru. Btw, there's Diva there. I didn't get to look at that though. The Daimaru departmental store is very big though. The one that used to exist here is quite small. It's like the Takashimaya there. Anyway, the food there is amazing. I just kept eating and eating non-stop. The maggi mee also. I love having miso and rice for breakfast. The way the cook their food is so different from ours. They DO NOT use oil at all. When i came back today, we went to the foodcourt for Meepok and our food is just ........ in comparison. Another thing, their toilets are SPARKLING CLEAN. They have soft toys and carpets in the highway's toilet for god's sake. And, it's so bloody high-tech. You know when you go to the carpark, they have the sensor to tell you how many seats are left? They have the same thing for toilet cubicles! You can just look and they show you which cubicle is available! I'm just so impressed by their cleanliness. All in all, i did not want to come back at all. I could stay there forever. Tuesday, December 23, 2008, 4:56 AM

I have no idea why the blogskin is not in the middle. But i like this! Even though, dear blair's face is very small! Gossip girl rocks! Haha.Today is the last day of school. So, Yay! I'm in urgent need of rest. I need a holiday. I'm going to visit my cousin tomorrow. She just gave birth. She's like 24. I'm going to be 24 soon! Crap. I hate to age. I remembered hoping that i was older when i was young. I loved to fantasize about what my life will be like when I'm 17 or 18. But now that I'm here, I hate it. I don't want to grow up! I like being a child. The stress about exams, thinking about the future.. That's just so annoying. I met koonlay today in vivocity. She passed me my souvenir! Thanks ar. Then we had dinner and i accidentally dropped a cup of pepsi. Cannot stand myself. Before that, we went to amk hub to buy en nian a meal for her birthday! Had Udon and chawanmushi. I loved it! I'm going to eat chawanmushi like crazy when i go to japan. But i think i'd feel weird when i have to drink or eat loudly. My brother's going to ENJOY pissing me off by eating loudly man. I can totally see his face. URGH. My keypad is spoilt! Crap. I accidentally spilled water into it and i cannot press anything now. So i have to attach another keyboard. Thank god it happened today, the last day of school. HENG AR.. Monday, December 8, 2008, 7:30 AM
I spent 12 hours outside today! I went to my mom's cousin's fish farm early in the morning, around 10 am till 1pm. They were talking hokkien all the time. I think i'm super good at hokkien now lar. My brother doesn't understand what they're saying most of the time. He thinks that i'm the older people of the young generation. Wah lao:(:( Nvm! At least i can survive in taiwan. After that, we went orchard to get bedsheets and eat lunch. We ate at some Teochew restaurant in Centrepoint which is actually quite nice. Then, we went to visit my mom's aunt all the way at around JP. After that, we had Japanese food for dinner with my father's clients at Upper Bukit Timah. I really don't like sashimi leh. I think i wasted quite a lot of food. The ramen was very nice! But, whatever. I have a presentation tmr:( I'm so tired leh! I'm just going to do it tmr. Urgh. My mom needs to fetch my grandma home so i think i have to wake up DAMN early. OMG. I don't know what to wear tomorrow lar! I shall just wear flats and some stupid office wear stuff. I'm going to go to bed now! YAY! Finally. Sunday, December 7, 2008, 2:03 AM
![]() This is my Christmas tree!I don't know why it looks like that. haha. It's somehow not very nice i know, but i'm not going to look at it also. The only reason i put it up is because my father's clients are coming to my house tomorrow and he made me put up a christmas tree. Whatever. Well,I'm quite pleased that i actually did it. It looks quite nice, from far. Like seriously 5 feet away:) I'm feeling like eating turkey now. And smoked ham and kfc's mash potato.We should have ordered that last year! Haha. The turkey was pretty good actually with mushroom sauce. My stomach is grumbling at the thought of it. Oh, and coke! Haha, no feast is complete without the seriously addictive coke! I just looked at the weather forecast for japan. Just when i thought i wouldn't need to wear longjohn, it said 0-6 degree celsius. *I'm like constantly rolling my eyes now* Urgh. Whatever. I am NOT going to look like a ball. Anyway, you all are welcome to squeeze inside my luaggage if you want to. Hahahahaha Saturday, December 6, 2008, 1:41 AM
Listening to Michael Buble, I'm reminiscing of my time in Europe last yearagain. I was listening to him repeatedly for 2 weeks. And my coach driver loves him too so his music was played over and over. I feel like I kind of wasted my time. I didn't enjoy myself as much as I would have if my family and I were there without the tour group. Guess that's just the downside of convenient traveling. I'm going to Japan soon. I've already took out the winter stuff to try and pack. I'm going to share a room with my mom. So yay! haha. At least i wouldn't be afraid and think of the stupid ghost stories that Ewen told me. I WILL NOT THINK ABOUT IT! I don't know what can i get there. But I'm going to go winter-shopping soon again! Haha. There's not enough clothes. I am defintely not going to bring my long-john. Hahahaa. Thursday, December 4, 2008, 6:11 PM

My throat hurts. I woke up at 8.30 with a stupid sore-throat :( I was supposed to do project with Sukjeet, Andrew and Gabriel. Then in the end, i received an sms from sukjeet saying we don't need to go because she haven't finish compiling. So, yay! I got more time at home. In the end, i didn't do much except play pet's society. I cannot find my "breakfast at tiffany's" disc again. Whatever, i have to get an extra disc. I love this picture. ![]() The holidays are coming soon! I'm leaving for Japan at 19th Dec! I don't know when exactly am i coming back. I'm going to go look at sakuras, and those harajuku ppl and i hope i'd buy somethings back! I'm kind of excited about it now. ![]() All I've been thinking about is my london trip and it's time i'm excited about Japan. But i'm going to look like some country pumpkin in my longjohn and thick coat. Haha. Not that i'd show my long john lar. But still, it'd be obvious when i look like a big fat ball. I don't have enough winter clothes. I haven't even buy enough of them yet. I want to watch Twilight before i leave! I'm going to look at Edward! ![]() Please wash your hair!

Anyway, KL, WELCOME BACK TO BORING OLD SINGAPORE! Hhahhaaa i hope I'd like my souvenir!I want to go London now or Maldives. The beach in Maldives just look so peaceful. I want to go there. It's sinking in 100 years. I hope i can go there at least once in my life. But i can't swim. I might drown! Whatever, if i die, i want to die somewhere nice. I'm trying to do my stats project now. I don't understand what I'm supposed to do but i think I'd try to analyze. There's the option day tomorrow. I don't know what to choose. I was watching some documentary about a black woman in South Africa and how the HIV virus affected her life. I'm kind of traumatized by it. Especially how they affect babies. It's so scary. HIV isn't going to go away. It's just going to keep spreading. It might be the number 1 killer other than cancer. Cancer is treatable if it's detected early. What about AIDS? People don't only contract AIDS from unprotected sex but also from unsterilized needles. Nobody's ever going to be safe! You wouldn't know whether the needles are clean where you donate blood. Not even in Singapore. You can never let your guard down. |
