Day Seven - The Beginning of Crazy Chiong-ing Ard Tokyo

it's time to say goodbye to the rest of the group. while they make their way back to singapore, we embark on our trip in tokyo. yes!

the tour leader who is just 3yrs older than me and this is his holiday job! i want this kind of holiday job too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! even though i'd probably spend more than i earn, but still!!!!!!!!!! it's travelling!!!!!!!!! argh.

for the remaining 4 nights in tokyo, our accomodation was hotel new otani. it's a wonderful hotel, wonderful service, wonderful location, wonderful everything. we were given the option to check in early but it was to a smoking room. so we left our luggage with the hotel and left for a very exciting trip :)

first up. satisfy our growling stomachs. off to shibuya for the rotating sushi place. it's reputed to be cheap and good. and they did not disappoint. each plate (like those in sakae sushi) cost only 105yen (S$1.25). and the seafood was SO fresh!!!!!!!!! the chef was really nice too. we were like two blur ppl, speaking a language foreign to him, not knowing what to take. so he'd make stuff specially for us. and all the things were SO nice!!!!!! totemo oishi desu!!!!!!! i think he got the sense of satisfaction to see us to happy with the food and we kept going like.. oishi!!!! yummy!!! etc... hahaha... think ppl at the other side weren't too happy that we were getting the extra attn cos they had to order what they wanted while he served us without us saying anything :p

shopping at shibuya was wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 109 building is a must go for the young crowd. bu bought clothes while i attacked the earrings. their earrings are SO nice!!! and it's not that ex too... about $15-$24 per pair of pretty, good quality earrings. totally shiok!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! saw a couple of tops but the no-trying-of-tops rule stopped me from buying. i need to know the cutting and see if it fits lah... one regret there, didn't buy THAT dress. it was very pretty, but what stopped me... the price (it was S$70. actually come to think about it, that wasn't expensive!!!!!!) and i had to wear it with tights cos it was very very short and i.. am too lazy to wear tights...

off to harajuku!!!!!! to go to the Burberry's Blue Label flagship store. bought a tee of my dad there. it's so nice!!!!!!!!! and not too ex considering that it's Burberry's. walked around a little. went to gap but decided it was stupid to go there and buy sth from gap even though their range is alot better than what we have in sg!

and then had an early dinner!!!!!! off to Apple Tree for omurice. it's supposedly a famours store. it's really small. we had to go down a narrow flight of stairs to get to the very very small shop. it's only had about 9 two-seater tables and barely any walking space. but it was really nice. not too ex too... only 870yen each (S$11). it's cheap by japan's standards. the quality of food was superb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! pity it's not demiglace sauce (like what was shown in lunch queen. heh) but the tomato and dunno what the other sauce is... was really good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

okonomiyaki-omurice. hahaha.. this was really good. and there were little treasures inside. with rice, octopus, veg..... wonderful. the sauce, yummy!

a very satisfied customer :)

off to roppongi hills to have a wonderful view of tokyo at night and of cos.. the tokyo tower. tallest structure in tokyo. the city view :)

and we had our most not-worth-the-money drink at a cafe on the top level. it was 1000yen per person just to enter and we both had drinks of about 700yen. so it was about S$21 just to sit there for non-alcoholic drinks. yeah.. we both had juice. we need to be sober to get back to the hotel in one piece.

and back to our hotel by their very confusing train system. actually it wasn't that bad. they just have many many lives that's all. the sign boards were very helpful!!!!!!!!! the wonderful-est thing happened. our luggage was already in our rooms by the time we got back to check in. their service, immaculate. oh yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the day passed too quickly. but we were all damn tired after walking around so much........ :p that's why japanese are so slim. they walk a lot.

Day Six - Back to Tokyo!

took the domestic flight back. but not before buying this famous cheesecake at chitose airport. recommended by monica, it did not disappoint!!!!!!! this makes fiesta cheesecake taste worse than crap. so we had nice cheesecake on board the plane! for three small cheesecakes like this, 1050yen. which is about S$12.50. totally worth it!

landed in tokyo and stupid narita airport is SO big!!!!!!!! had to walk damn far just to get to immigrations then walk again to collect baggage!!!!!!!!!! whoa, exercise man.

asahi beer building that we passed by. the gold thing in front is supposed to be the flame that keeps them going. the building is supposed to be like a glass of beer. gold color is the beer, the white part on top is the foam on top :p cool huh..

next up! asakusa! went to the famous sensoji. it's a very old temple and there were little shop houses there. there was even freshly-made wang4 wang4!!!!!!! the old man was making them. hahaha.... fresh ones leh! and there, bu and i bought the best ever red bean bun!!!! it's so soft, so fresh. yummy!!!!!!!! i must say, the bakeries there are wonderful. they are all so nice and soft, fresh from the oven! well, prayed for the well-being of family and left feeling peaceful at heart. realised that that's what you feel when you go to temples or places of worship. you tend to feel at peace no matter how crowded or noisy the surroundings are. and then...... SHOPPING!!!!!!!!! frst to ueno :) totally no time lah! no time to shop at all. i mean, more like.. not enough. there were so many shops. ABAB alone was filled with so many things, plus Burberry's Blue Label to plan what to buy in the next few days. oh my.......... ueno became a must come back to visit place during our F&E days.... :p

traffic was a killer there. but the ppl are strangely well mannered. you don't usually hear honks from cars. they just wait patiently. so unlike singapore. impatient bunch. (well, i must admit, i am a little impatient too. heh)
night out at shinjuku!!!!!!!!! underground mall. couldn't find anything that i particularly like.. but monica (the tour guide) busted about 40,000 yen there. that's about S$500. the amazing shopping power of females :p

last night with the group. dreaming about the wonderful tokyo that awaits me. all the shopping out there. yeah!

Day Five - Winery, Outlet Shopping!

the daily photo whoring :p i look so tired!!!!!!!!! but that was before i heard that today was outlet-shopping day. hahaha.. when i realised that, eyes sparkled, fatigue wore off immediately, preparation for lots of shopping began :p

went to the winery that was SO boring. it had nothing there. just trying the different wine, not many pictures to take too! and the thing about japan is.. they seem to love ferris wheels! they have ferris wheels everywhere, even at the winery!!! the outside of the winery looked like a very cold, uninviting castle :( and there were grape wines outside! but the grapes were not ripe yet. they were all still very small. pity pity.

and it was such a long bus ride to the outlet mall!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! well, prices weren't that cheap too. coach was still more expensive than the prices in us. adidas, nike were about the same price as that in sg. warcoal, triumph didn't have anything exceptionally nice, no pjs to get too!!! a number of random brands that were ok price.. didn't buy any clothes there and was very very grumpy until i bought my earrings and kipling bag. argh. disappointing outlet shoppng trip :(

and my luggage is full even before i got to tokyo!!!!!!!!! tragic!!!!!!!!! i foresee lots of squeezing and stuffing when packing the luggage!!!

that night, it was dreaming about tokyo, about my dear, about all things good... :)

Day Four - the day of many flowers

less stops today, more travelling. saw many many flowers. and amazingly, i saw sunflowers!!!!!! so happy :) think the sunflower is a very happy flower :) even though they are not in full bloom, but it's satisfying to see a whole field of yellow happy pretty flowers! oh for ppl who want to see sunflowers, go in august, they are in season then! played with my color accent too! heh. of cos on yellow color. it's damn cool! heh. i love my camera. pity the sky was a little gloomy then and there was a slight drizzle..

then on to the lavender farm! purple flowers now and you are surrounded by a light smell of lavender. heh. you feel all relaxed suddenly, instant aroma therapy. and thank goodness for clear blue skies, making the pictures so lovely. and luckily i saw another part of the farm from the bus, so we didn't miss out the prettiest part of the farm. there were quite a lot of aunties on board the bus who didn't catch it. ha! some were already cut off, going to be sold off..

walking past the pretty flowers, thinking abt my dear..

spent so much time sleeping in the bus cos we always had to be up early and i was tired. plus the bus ride was really long! oh, but monica (the tour guide) switched on the karaoke system in the bus and so there was a little singing session in the bus. hahaha.... but the songs were quite old. well, but we didn't expect to hear jay chou or wang lihom there.. :p but you know, wang lihom is supposedly very popular there!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ahh.. but it's understandable right, he's so talented and so good looking. it'll be a sin to not like him. but... well, i think guys would be jealous of him. i understand. hahaha..... if there's someone as good looking and talented as wang lihom in school, i'll go everyday. if he's in my class, better still, won't skip any lessons! hahahahaha..

Day Three - Sapporo Beer Brewery, Sake Brewery, Ice Pavilion, Onsen

the day started with a nice breakfast and i made myself udon! (ok, i just assembled the already cooked ingredients)

and then it was yet another long day.. lots of stops and some travelling.. first up, sapporo beer! just walk around to see how it was made, how it came about, etc. the beer museum was quite nicely put together. no trying though, not that it mattered cos i don't like beer! hahaha... but there was a beer vending machine there. haha... so interesting. i wonder what would happen if singapore had a vending machine like that. think there'd be many more drunkards roaming the streets!

there was a phone booth in a huge barrel! haha.. gimmick.. we got there early, so we had lots of time to take photos outside. and when we went in, we were 2min early and they refused to let us in till the clock reaches 9am sharp. they are really rigid. oh! there was this tree where ppl hang their dreams and wishes. of cos i wrote and hopefully it'll come true :p

it was a day of alcohol! went to sake brewery/museum. and... free sake testing for all! i drank a bit only cos i didn't want to test my limits. then bu bought a glass of sake that won the gold medal at the world wine and spirits competition 30 times in a row. drank a sip too. it's really smooth!!!!! you can finish it in one gulp, which bu did and ended up a little ditzy (luckily it was only for a short while.. hahaha)

the award winning sake!

water fountain! and if you drink the water here, you'd suppoesdly live a long long life! well, we all had a bottle of that water! :) so i guess it's a long long long long life for us!

ice pavilion where i experienced -20 degree c. it's craziness in there. i felt like my toes were going to fall off should i move them a little. yeah, me, try to act smart and not wear covered shoes (well, me sneakers didn't match my outfit!) there was this place that was -40 degree c. didn't dare to enter cos i felt that my toes would really drop off inside!!!!!! but thank goodness for the warm cup of tea after that. warmed up my insides that seemed to have frozen up

then to our hotel where there was an onsen which i couldn't try due to unforeseen circumstances.. but, we still wore the yukata, went for dinner in it, slept on tatami mats. and i tell you.. tatami beds are so comfy!!!!!!!! i was huddled up comfortably in it while waitin for bu to finish packing, quietly enjoying the comforts of the bed. hahaha..

and so, yet another comfortable night, konked out totally.. :) wishing that time would pass slowly so that i could spend more time in japan..

back from japan!!!!! :) oh i had so much so much fun.. i really didn't want to come back. i told bu.. all i need is a visit to the internet cafe and i'm all set to lengthen my stay in japan!!! it was fun-filled, relaxing (except on some days when we over estimated ourselves) and shopping was fun!!!!!!!!!! even tho i have some regrets that i didn't buy some stuff that i saw, i still got a whole new collection of earrings, bags, nail polish, nail art, etc. yeap as you can tell, i hit the accessories while bu hits the clothes.

Day One - leaves on NH112 for Narita Airport

arrived at the airport freaking early - 6.30am - cos the flight was at 8.30am. yeap, morning flight. thank you zahid, josh, ws, zg who came to see me off :) it was nice seeing you crazy guys who were more concerned abt your breakfast. hahaha.. was so sleepy. the 7hrs was spent sleeping and eating.. heh. ANA serves ice-cream!!!! was pleased of cos.. who could say no to ice cream?!

bu and i waiting to board the plane

view from the plane, leaving singapore far far behind, embarking on the trip that i've been looking forward to since a long long time ago!

we arrived at narita and met out crazy ditzy tour guide. and then on to take the domestic flight to chitose, hokkaido :p it was so late and the domestic flight didn't serve any food. so we survived on soup served in the plane which was really good anyway. managed to have dinner only at 8.30pm.. note that lunch was at 10.30am... so yeah.. you can imagine why we were so hungry.

Day 2 - Otaru, Cherry-Picking, Ishiya Choc Factory, TV Tower

woke up bright and early. had our first breakfast in japan which wasn't very amazing aside from the fact that their melons are real sweet. the sweetness beats the sweetest of all honeydews/rock melons that you find here in singapore! yummy stuff! and well, it's also the beginning of lots of miso soups, miso based stuff, anything to do w miso food stuff..
went to otaru for the music box museum, glass museum, cream puffs and other pretty and yummy food stuff. the weather was nice and cool, no glaring sun and just a light breeze to keep you cool..

the over-hyped otaru canal. really, if you went, you'd know what i mean. it looks good on pictures but when you see it up close, it's like some long-gang.. heh.our first lunch in japan. kani-nabe. not anything vulgar lah.. it just means crab hotpot in japanese. hahaha... weird right? what is delicacy to them is actually some hokkien vulgarity to us. heh.

cherry picking time!!!!!!!!!! there were damn a lot of cherries! ripe and waiting to be picked. while some were a little too squishy for my liking, there were plenty that were so sweet!!!on to my little heaven at ishiya chocolate factory. from the moment you step in, you'd smell a faint hint of chocolate in the air, making you instantly hungry and craving for some chocolate. here, they are making the one biscuit that made them so famous - bai2 se4 lian4 ren2, which means white lover. it's a thin wafer biscuit with either white or milk chocolate inside. it was damn nice!!! yummy.little tiny paw prints show you where to go / huge ass wedding cake / chocolate figurines :p

the outside of the chocolate factory looked nothing like a typical japanese architecture. it's so colonial style! but it's pretty and interesting. a tourist trap and it captures the hearts of both kids and adults with mini houses and pretty flowers..next up.. tax-free shopping. singaporeans being singaporeans, rushed to buy souveniors for family and friends. some bought boxes of food!!!!! it's so amazing. the rate at which they shop was damn scary cos they just grab!!! the shop owner must have been very happy. it didn't help that the shop was so small and there was a long long queue waiting to be served. i just bought one box of wafer biscuit and i had to join in the disgustingly long queue and watch the others lug huge boxes filled with food out.last stop of the day before dinner. some underground shopping mall that was boring and the sapporo tv tower that looked like the rip-off of the tokyo tower.

dinner was bbq. the highlight was actually the kobe beef which is very very ex if you want to order it (more than $50 for one small slab of it). bu and i were contented with what we had... hahaha... but most of the cooking was done by her. even though i did try a little after we finished eating. bu said i passed. hahahahah... :) chef ginny in the making.

the end of the second day. dropped dead after packing. really konked out!!! i didn't know that touring could be so tiring. but i guess that's cos we had quite a number of stops that day :p

the guys. gordon sat between tat and kk and made them lean towards him so that he won't look so fat. hahaha...

the girls :)

and we moved on to lau pa sat for food!!!!!!!!!!!!!! gordon seemed to be deprived of food for a really long time, gg crazy ordering food!!! haha... but we had quite a lot of food. totally stuffed to the brim by the time we finished.

and the guys are getting old. they can't take it when a place is too noisy and gordon giang kept wanting to sleep at mind cafe. haha... but aiyah, the next table was really very very very noisy. think they went a little over board lah.. but it's fun meeting up with them again. even tho having gordon there mean kena suan like crazy! but oh well, i got my chance to get back at him. heh. they said i was fierce. siao!

and another highlight!!!! called glen! yay!!!!!! hahaha... havent talked to him in a long while thanks to the "ancient procedures" over in nz, internet is still not up. argh. yeah mandy, i finally know how slow nz can be.. hahaha...

oh yes! got the call from my tour leader!!! yipee! i'll be leaving on 19 July 2007 to far away japan!!!! yes! hokkaido! tokyo! yipee!!!!!! but i must be up freaking early. cos it's a morning flight. so i have to be there at 6.30am!!! nvm, for japan, i'll sacrifice some sleep! hahaha!!!

did some preparations for japan today. changing currency, getting my boring black luggage (bu don't worry. heh. mine not the kawaii kind even tho they had the same luggage in green and hot pink!!!!!! but na.. boring me went for black), then getting this call from the tour leader! oh yes! just 8 days away. soon soon.. 8 days later, at this time, i'll be in hokkaido!!! yes! and yah! ok i bought my luggage at tangs and my bro came to town to pick me so he parked the car at marriot hotel. damn! as we were making our way thru the lobby to get to the carpark, my bro kept poking fun at me, asking me to go check in and get someone to handle my luggage. shit. but i don't think the staff thought that way lah! there was this guy who kept walking behind us, i think he prob thought we were some terrorists or pranksters lah!!! shit.

anw sth scary happened today. i thought i lost my contact lens!!!!! cos i was trying to put them on and i rememebered picking it up and clumsy me "dropped" it. so i was searching all over the basin and floor of my bathroom and i couldn't find it!!!!! freaked out naturally cos i'm so not gg to town in spectacles(yeah vain, whatever you call it)!!!!! and in the end, i found it still in my contact lens case. i really wonder whether i'm really that blur or is it just tt it dropped back into my lens case without me knowing. hmmm..

today is generally a happy day. heh. got msges from glen. those have been the only thing that's keeping me going since he left on sat. the early morning msges. it just makes him seem a little closer. and i'm so happy when i got the msg that he's gg to finally get internet access tmr that i did an embarrassing little jump at tangs. argh!! reputation damaging!!!!!! :( happy for those little msges. i'm so easily satisfied right? but yah, i enjoy these little things that make my heart skip a beat and make each day seem so much brighter :)

ok, i'm not exactly in the best of moods now, which explains my msn nick. sorry guys. i just need some quiet time alone.

ok, so glen boarded qf6 at 7.50pm. ok, he went in at about 7.15pm, leaving me in a terribly embarrassing state :( it doesn't help that his mom, bro and friends saw it. bleah. i guess i just have to get used to life without seeing him almost everyday. sigh. really miss you a lot. you should have landed, probably at university hall now, settling in and stuff..

left for town to meet josh and becky.. thanks for coming to accompany me! even though you all were rushing from different places. thanks for the planning and all.. we waited at the 24hr coffee club for zahid and ws and i had iced mocha. it tasted like super gao chocolate milk shake with a hint of coffee. but i don't really mind considering that i'm such a fan of chocolate.

becky and josh at coffee club. josh was showing me all sorts of videos on youtube. some are really quite funny. the whatever baby was damn cute! and the sg aunties were just violent lah! i really hope i won't grow up to be like that in future! it's such embarrassing, gross behaviour. oh and becky got to watch superslut. darn. till this day, i still laugh at our ability to actually think of such a script and actually acting it out. maybe you all will catch it at eng wah cinemas some day. hee. for now, i'm glad that glen won't be able to see it. yet. hee.

becky and i! :) she was teaching me how to do highlights for our hair!!! i didn't know that there was a procedure to it! i always thought it was random. ahah.. anw, she suggested gg to play board games!!! so we called up mind, settlers and pitstop. ended up at pitstop cos the other two were fully booked till very late.. and yah.. she got me rather hooked on playing board games.. want to try more!

game of life. ws was the overall winner! he had 1.1million at the end!!!!! i was the miserable loser.. had half of what he had lah :( so sad. but i had fun. loads of fun. thanks to them, i forgot about my misery temporarily. i guess i'll be meeting up with them a lot more! yeah, i guess with them ard, i will be more or less well taken care of..

havent had much appetite these two days. yest, i had only half a plate of fried rice, half a plate of duck rice and some finger food. today, i couldn't finish my lunch again. maybe i'll be able to lose weight after all!!!!!!

cors is finally updated. i already know what i'm going to take and i have a rubbish sem ahead. with long breaks and late exams. bleah. complex analysis, ordinary differential eqn, non-linear prog, stochastic processes and regression analysis. 5 math and stats modules. i think i'm so dead. exams will be on 26/11, 27/11, 28/11 and then 4/12. darn. why cant they all be tog and i can end on 30/11??????????????

monday was meeting bu at raffles place to settle payment for our trip. i am so broke. i'm not gg to spend anymore until during my trip!!!!!!!! ok, i just got new contact lens today but that's a necessity. i don't plan to go ard japan with dry eyes. yap... and then down to ichiban boshi at wisma to satisfy some jap cravings. after that, we resolved not to have anymore jap food until our trip! hahaha... but the food at ichiban was good. hee. bu met glen for the first time :) hee. and then off to meet mary who came from TUAS! damn far. and guess what! we had ajisen. hahah.. but bu and i were so full after a filling lunch plus tea break, we ate only side dishes. heh.

bu and i at ichiban boshi :)

tuesday was meeting glen for lunch (sorry york, dunno why you pull out of it also. hahaha.. just lunch ma.. scared he punch you for being my drinking kaki?? hee) and then off to orchard AGAIN. shaped brows, walked ard, met bu for our movie.. "the girl who leapt through time" - a jap anime - was rather nice.. though draggy at some parts. we were famished aft the movie! and had to wait for mary who was caught in a jam.. so three hungry girls went to crystal jade for nice korean dinner!!!!!! this time, we tried the bbq stuff. interesting! bu was teaching us the correct way of eating it and wa lau! damn unglam lah!!!!!!!!!!!! :p but it was nice satisfying dinner.. hee

anyway, spot the similarities!!! hahaha.. bu and i turned up in the exact same mango skirt!!! well, bought at diff places.. i bought in sg, she bought in london and we didnt know that we had the same skirt and we wore the same skirt out on the same day! first time.. to make matters worse, we were both in black tops! we looked like we were working in some shop tog lah! like some uniform! hahaha....

bu and mary after the satisfying korean dinner

yeap and we just love taking pictures in toilets...

this picture was taken when i met mary just after she came back! hahaha.. couldnt put it up last time cos she was lied to her bf abt her arrival date.. hee. sneaky girl... hahaha..

and with my two favourite friends, we somehow love going for korean cuisine!!!!! went with mary to the korean place at suntec. heh. nice good food.. yummy stuff.. i think it was after the korea trip that the three of us enjoy going for korean food even though i must say we got rather sick of fish hotpots back then :p and also running away from that hum sup ah ken...... :(

and so it's just 2 days to departure. not my departure but glen's. mine's in.. 16 days. but anyway, feeling very excited for him, sad for myself. hahaha... i mean, i bet he's damn excited abt going to nz by himself for 5mths and all the travelling that he must be looking forward to.. oh man! exciting lah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i want to go too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but i'm looking forward to my japan trip too! first time gg f&e. excited but a little scared too! i'm not a risk taker but i trust my bu :p i'm sure she won't get lost in japan, even though she knows much more korean than jap!!! everytime i speak to her in jap, she replies in korean. hahahahaha.... it's gg to be FUN!!! but for now, i dunno how i'm gg to be like 2 days later.. sigh.............
