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!

***

With you,
I feel like i can just be.

You and Me

what day is it
and in what month
this clock never seemed so alive
I can't keep up
and I can't back down
I've been losing so much time

cause it's you and me and all of the people
with nothing to do
nothing to lose
and it's you and me and all of the people
and I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of you

all of the things that I want to say
just aren't coming out right
I'm tripping inwards
you got my head spinning
I don't know where to go from here

cause it's you and me and all of the people
with nothing to do
nothing to prove
and it's you and me and all of the people
and I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of you

there's something about you now
I can't quite figure out
everything she does is beautiful
everything she does is right

you and me and all of the people
with nothing to do
nothing to lose
and it's you and me and all of the people
and I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of you

you and me and all of the people
with nothing to do
nothing to prove
and it's you and me and all of the people
and I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of you

what day is it
and in what month
this clock never seemed so alive
