This has got to be the best week so far! Had my Run on Wed and now our post peak bash at St James!!!

I managed to get home and changed before heading down to Harborfront. I've never been there but seriously the place is much more spacious than our Christmas Bash at Thumper :)

Everyone was super HIGH that night!! I dun remember me drinking alot although I downed 2 shots and drank 2 glasses of mixtures. Haha Enough for me :P

We went on stage to dance too!!! All 16 of us! Was pretty cramped but it was really super fun!! And we took super alot of pictures together! Some of us can't even remember who they took photos with :P

I was the 'self-appointed' photographer of the night, snapping away for the rest. I guessed Im gonna miss the Aussie ppl loads when they leave in June. Pictures are my best memories of them!


Had so much FUN hanging out with the peeps! I'm glad everyone enjoyed that night too!

I hadn't had much confidence completing the whole 5.6km route coz I haven't been jogging since peak started. I'm so amazed that I actually managed to run continuously from the start to the end! 3 cheers for me!!! *hiphip hurray!!*

Our t-shirt was red this time, kinda feels like it was National Day oreadi :P thanks to dear Andrea and Theresa for motivating me, I really felt like joining the 'walking clan' (clarice and the rest). Somehow, my 'mian zi/ego' was more impt so off I ran! :P

Although my timing was slightly slower, I din stop to rest at all and I actually felt great after the whole thing ended. :)

When we finally turned into the carpark of Tokyo Disneyland, I was so excited that I almost forgotten to breathe :D

It was really a childhood's dream come true! I've always wanted to visit Disneyland and after 24 years, I'm finally HERE!!! *skips around* hohohoho :D



Everything was so beautiful inside! The staff, the buildings, food, drinks and the rides!! I did homework with the Disneyland map that our tour guide gave us the night before and we waited no time to start!

It was only 9am in the morning, but there were already bus loads of high school kids and families.

We began in clockwise direction starting from World Bazaar. Gor reminded me umpteen times to get the Mickey cufflinks for him, so we headed on to Harrington Jewellery first.

I was completely lost inside, coz there were so many pretty accessories there! All the hair accessories, necklaces and earrings really dazzled me! In the end, all 3 of us spent almost S$300 there! And it's only the first shop! :P

Next up, Adventure Land. Recommended rides were the Pirates of The Caribbean (which was super duper cool!) and Jungle Cruise! I was obviously in trigger happy mood and began snapping away! :P


The Jungle Cruise was the first one we went on coz we saw a small queue forming. It was like a safari cruise on a boat and the tour guide was very good in engaging us with her animated introduction albeit was in Japanese and no one could understand :P The animals really looked real, esp the crocodiles!


Next was Western Land. This was more of the cowboys stuff and all the old Western films. We boarded the Big Thunder Mountain which was actually a mini rollercoaster (minus the crazy loops). Not bad at all :P (Basically everything is FUN to me! hahah)

I got to take photos with Woody's (From Toy Story) girlfriend too! (Forgot her name :P)

We went on to Critter Country which was much smaller scale than the previous two. But there was the wild and wet Splash Mountain, which luckily there was a family of 4 in front of us to block the splashes as we plunge down into the pool. :P

Fantasyland was much better because there were Peter Pan, Snow White, Mickey, Pinnochio, Dumbo and Pooh! All my favourite childhood cartoon characters! :P

We went onto Peter Pan's Flight. Nothing much except that we are flying inside the ride with Peter Pan and see his adventure with Wendy, Twinkle and Captain Hook. While we were waiting, I noticed that most Japanese families are very young! The mummys look like early to mid 20s and their babies/toddlers are super duper adorable! Marshmallow like cheeks and soft black/brown hair. Feel like squeezing them! :P


There is also the famous Disney Castle here!!! It's so magical even in the day.

After the good weather yesterday, the sky was overcast in the morning when we left our cozy hot spring hotel. I could breath with 'smoke' coming out from my mouth!!

Booo, which means we can't get onto the 5th station of Mt Fuji!!! *wails*

Was kinda disappointed because other than the cherry blossoms, theme parks, I want to go up the 5th station of Mt Fuji too!!!

Too bad the bad weather (no pun intended :P), we only managed to stop at the first station, which was practically nothing, cept twigs and fallen snow on the ground.

Owells, no fish prawn also ok lar *hurhur* :D We had fun posing with the bare little pile of snow there was :P


Then we went on to Oshino Hakai （忍野八海）where the people use the water flowing down from Mt Fuji to make their udon and other products. It was more of a shopping spree for tourists more so than an attraction, so I went back to the warm and cozy coach after awhile.


During our transit for toilet breaks, I noticed Japanese' innovation once again:


See that? It's actually an indicator board that says which toilet cubicle is occupied or vacant! How innovative is that! Hahaha :P It helps to avoid congestion and people can also roughly gauge the approx waiting time and if any toilet is available. Guess Singapore should have something like this for big malls or sth :P

Next up, we were brought to Ameyoko, apparently similar to Hong Kong's Ladies Market or Wang Jiao, where alot of foodstuffs, cosmetics, bags, apparels and accessories were sold. But then again, it was open air and raining, so it wasn't really nice to walk around with wet socks and shoe, carrying a brolly. Luckily I managed to get some stuff for the girls over there. :)

Last stop was to take the Odaiba Cruise, which passes by the famous Tokyo Bay and Rainbow Bridge. Again, the weather spoils any chance of a good shot of the bridge at night, nonetheless, it was quite a good experience. Kinda like sitting the ferry from Harborfront to Sentosa last time :P


Dinner was at one of the Jap restaurants having kamameshi (sth like steamed claypot rice) for dinner. Food was normal, prob coz i had too much of a bento-ish kind of meals for the past few days. Where's my sushi and sashimi??? :/

Check this out:


Almost real!!! I ALMOST want to knock into the display window when I see these salivating delicacies!!! Their food art was almost 100% real! *amazed* All the details were intricately modelled and the handrolls just make their patrons want to eat more of their sushi! :P:P

After a full dinner, we head back to our hotel: 5-star Sakura Tower at Tokyo! The room was huuuuuge, and has a jacuzzi bathtub!! I had a good 30-min soak and almost didn't want to leave the tub. hehehe :P Too bad it was still drizzling outside, else I'd have ventured onto the streets to see how the nightlife in Tokyo is like.

Next up, DISNEYLAND!!! *M-I-C-K-E-Y-M-O-U-S-E!!!!!* Check back for my final update on the last day!

Another bright and sunny day out!!!

Packed our bags and off we go to Owakudaini Valley!

This valley is also called "Boiling Valley", where the people cook boiled eggs with natural sulphur from the mountains and it'll become black! Supposedly, those who ate the 'black eggs' will extend their lifespan by a further 7 years! I wonder if it's true, but I ate 1 only. I'm no greedy girl :P

On our way climbing up, we can see Mt Fuji from afar!! *beams happily* The weather was superb so it was awesome to see the snow-capped mountain peeking out from the clouds and I was able to snap such a good shot of it! *woohoo* :D:D

Even before I reach the sulphur where all the eggs are boiling to become black, I already felt like puking. The smell was so overwhelming that I found myself in a shit pool or giant sewage. Luckily the smell din venture too far out so I was still able to swallow my 'black egg' in peace :P




Next up, we visited Hakone National Park, with MORE cherry blossoms! *yipeeeee* :D:D


Love it when I can wear my thick jackets and sweaters! heee :P:P

The cherry blossoms were sooo pretty!! So blessed and thankful that God made it possible for us to see them before they all wilt. Was abit worried that we weren't be able to see coz 2 weeks before we left for Japan, the sakura already blossomed in parts of Tokyo.

The wonderful scenery and natural fauna made all my pictures postcard perfect! We were busy snapping pictures away and Mum absolutely fell in love with all the cherry blossoms :P


And highlight of the day: Wearing yutaka and soaking in hotspring bath!!!

Dad didn't want to wear at first coz he scared the robe will fell of midway during dinner! Wahahahah :D But I after I looked fab in it, he was tempted to try too! So the 3 of us trotted to dinner area in our yutaka and looking oh-so KAWAII! :P:P

The hot-spring (obviously u cannot take pics!) was fabulous! Actually I was abit apprehensive having to bare all and see everyone's "ahem", but we were lucky coz the rest of the aunties were scared too, so they didn't go down at the time when Mum and I were soaking, so the whole place was just the 2 of us!!! Shiok! The temperature was about 42 deg Celsius and my whole body felt so relaxed after that. If only SG has such weather and hot spring, I'll def go often! :)

Next up: We reached TOKYO!! Stay tune for more :)

2nd day of our trip was more of visiting the ancient temples in Japan.

Leaving Osaka, we travelled northwards to Kyoto, where we visited 2 temples: Todaiji Temple with the largest bronze statue in Japan and Kiyomizu Temple, where people often prayed for love and relationships.


Cherry blossoms were aplenty at Todaiji Temple, because of it's proximity to Osaka I guess. This is also where the Nara Deer Park is. It was believed that deers were the holy animals during the ancient times, so one can see deers roaming around freely, eating food handouts from tourists or the roadside vendors and occasionally, their poop pile. :P




Inside the temple, people can purchase wooden tablets and write their wishes on it and hanging it on the wall for blessings. I remembered seeing this in some travel documentary or drama shows, so I bought one and wrote wishes for me and MB. Mum bought one too and wrote wishes of good health and prosperity for the family.

Finally, I got time to sit down and recollect my wonderful Japan trip!!! :D:D

I'm still lavishing on the thoughts and pictures about Japan, it's AMAZING!!!!

We were so blessed to see fully blossomed sakura when we reached Osaka. Although the weather got abit chilly and eventually rained, we still had our fair shots of snapping happily away with the flood of pink flowers!!


If the weather could be sunnier and brighter, I'm sure it'll reflect the radiance of the cherry blossoms much better :) Nonetheless, I'm thankful they still hold on long enough for us to admire the breathtaking view. I love sakura 'showers' when the wind blew! :P

Oh, being overly excited, my parents and I got abit lost at the Osaka castle and ended up with getting quite drenched and almost FROZE under the single digit weather! Felt so paiseh that we we were late for almost 30min!! :/

Then, we realised that only the 3 of us had chosen to go to Universal Studios,while the rest of the uncles and aunties preferred shopping at the Chinatown in Osaka *dohs*

They sure regret!!! I had so much fun, posing with my favourite cartoon characters such as Ernie, Shrek, Popeye and Marilyn Monroe!! She's so HOT! :D

But bad weather beat her hands down again, as all the outdoor rides were suspended and I din even get the chance to sit on the 'infamous' Hollywood Dream!!! :(

But I did manage to catch the 4D Terminator Show which was awesome!!! hahah there were some points in time, my Mum taught the Terminator was coming for her! (Coz of the special effects glasses we wore, the images felt as if they 'popped' out of the screens!)

It's a REAL pity I din get to sit the rides, but I compensated myself by playing for 8 straight hours at Tokyo Disneyland! More on that in later entries ;)

PS: Check out my photo album for Day 1 on Facebook. :P

Before I update on my wonderful Japan trip, let me wish my dearest MB a HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! *pompoms* :D:D

Having slept at only 2+am this morning, I managed to lug myself out of bed to meet MB and family for his birthday lunch at a restaurant near my office (I'll be going back to work tom!! :/)

Then we hung out at City Hall where he FINALLY got my Coach bag *wheeeeees* I also lugged 2 BIG boxes of Gundam toys from Japan for him!! Look at his gleeful face!


MB has to go back to his lab for awhile so I followed him! It was really interesting seeing the place where he has been working for the past few months. He showed me the zebra fishes which he reared for his experiment purpose and the bacteria that he was cultivating. Pretty cool! Reminds me of my bio lab lessons back in sec school :P


Then I treated him to a sumptuous hot seafood platter at Greenwood Fish Market, highly recommended by my couz Tif. It's a huge spread with clams, mussels, oysters, lobster, prawns and calamari! But towards the end, I felt it was quite jelat and almost puked! :/ But the seafood was really fresh and tasty. :)


Check back here for more updates on my Japan trip during the week! :)

Back to work =_=
