all the wrong things are happening to me
This sem is a terrible one...
All the wrong things are happening..
I screwed up my last 3 papers..
mixed up dates..
took 3125 with 3h of study..
i dunno why bad luck came to me...
left my bottle on sat after 3122 paper..
found out onli after walking all the way to kent vale..
went back to src but hall was locked..
walked along the road and couldnt get onto any cab..
when i finally reached NUH taxi stand, all the cabs left the second i reached..
then i mixed up the exam dates of 3421 and 3125...
and i screwed up during exam..
it's realli bad... all these cocks up are costing me my grades..
i am gg crazy...
my frens empathize me..
but the most impt pple in my life arent realli there...
may be i expect too much..
anticipation kills..
may be it's just all wrong..
everything is going wrong...
it's just even more discouraging when i have to search for consolation..
how desperate i am...
a side nite to sth interesting i found during the study break:
nus students are very creative pple..
they have very interesting msn nicknames through out the year.
here's some of them:

This sem realli sucks...
been screwing up almost every mid term test..
dun think i'll do well this time since the mtt % are all so high..
sigh... it's laid back, slacking time...
my fight for 2nd upper is over..
success doesnt necessarily come with hard work and effort...
tt i noe.. n it's proven...
but well.. dun realli see the reason in fighting so hard anymore...
i am giving up for the first time in my life..
just do normal.. n stay within my league..
may be it's time for sth else in my life...
i wonder...
wad else can i do with my new self-given extra time?

Reflections
As the Mulan song goes...
"Who is that girl I see, staring straight back at me...
When will my relfections show.. who I am inside..."
For the past few weeks, I've been doing some soul searching..
trying to plan ahead... trying to have a feel of wad i might want to work as in future...
not sure if it's becoz i've finally hit 21~!
so old yet so young...
feeling a lil lost, a lil panicky and may be panaroid...
may be becoz some of my peers seem so motivated..
so sure of where they wan to go towards to...
i'm still a lil girl.. trapped in my own world of mere sch, family and bf..
sounds kiddish and too simple to be true.. compared to the reality tt i have to face in about 2 years time..
i am gg to grad.. time to polish myself..
time to learn sth.. n very importantly search for who i wan to become..
i mean career wise...
may be i shud talk to the career office pple.. wonder if they can realli help..
i went to the bp talk just yesterday..
trading actually sounds pretty interesting..
it's exciting although the simulation game was a total disaster for our grp..
but i am not a biz person..
so.. neah.... prob not my cup of tea..
been having lots of flash backs of my 1st 2 years in nus..
made a lot of frens.. or may be jus aquaintances..
had a lot of fun..
cried a lot..
made a lot of silly mistakes.. some very bad ones..
which prob led me to the best decision i have made so far in my 2 years of nus campus life..
tt's getting to noe my dearest mark..
n to be able to go thru so much ups n downs which made us mature so much together...
it's kinda unexpected tt we ended up together..
i guess no one saw it coming..
for all the times u stood by me when i needed you..
for all the times u were my voice when i couldnt speak..
for all the times u lifted me up when i was down..
for all the times u were my eyes when i couldnt see..
i thank you with all my heart..
n i want it to stay with you for as long as it can be..

UnProDUcTIVE 1sT 2 WEEKS
i felt like i have wasted my 1st 2 weeks in sch..
havent seem to learn much so far..
the onli so called productive days were my lab days..
it's a non examinable module aka "waste-time" module among the chem engineers..
just go in clock the hours, take readings like every hour interval..
and we all stone n watch the clock hand tick..
lab reports are awfullly long..
many regard it as a waste of their precious time to mug sth else..
the other mods r just mere revision..
MTO was scary becoz it seemed like a combi of ESS and kinetics..
i think i cant remember anything tt i have learnt in the past..
so familiar yet blur in my mind..
SHE is rubbish so far.... long grandma stories tt made me wonder if i am gg to have to write essays for my exams...
----------disconnected from internet-----------------------------
it's 4th sept today btw..
i finally have time to come in to blog again..
here''s just a msg to pple who surprisingly still read my boring blog...
"i cant remember wad i wanted to say tt day.. hee :P so this is all for this post"

it's a 5 day week.. with 6 core.. so xiong..
may be i can start giving tuition at weijin's tuition centre and start supporting myself..
lighten off the financial burden off my mum..
it's realli tough to maintain a 4.5 cap for 4 sems..
havent reach there.. how can i dream of keeping it for the next 4 sems..
do i wanna work as a chem engineer?
not sure..
wad do i wanna work as?
clueless...
i onli noe i wanna take care of the puppies n dogs as a career in future even if it doesnt pay as well as a chem engineer..
now to think of it, i kinda regretted being sensible then..
if not i might be pursuing my dream in US Washington Uni.
and i'll be back in 3 years time to be a vetinary surgeon.
didnt noe tt i wud still be thinking about it now..
didnt noe tt i realli wanted it so much then..
my parents were encouraging..

it seems so selfish..
it was of coz scary too..

my aim for the next 2 years
I was so bored...
was gg thru pple's blog..
goodness.. n congrats to siyong..
he got his dean's list~!!!
still remember tt he once called himself "the least value added boy in nus"
because he stays back in sch frequently to mug with his frens..
but his cap was always ard 3.5...
i guess he has proven tt it's possible..
it's good news for me~!
went to take a look at the dean's list for chem engine..
saw quite a few familiar names again..
appearing for the 2nd time..
it makes me wonder why these pple can hit it so easily..
wad's the secret?
i've worked pretty hard this sem..
finally got above 4..
realli happy n proud of myself..
but still a lil uncontented becoz i knew i cud have done better..
if it's not for the careless mistakes i have made...
so my aim for my next 2 years is to hit dean's list once...
i;ve been trying hard for 3 sems.. finally made it to above 4 in sem4..
to make up for the very unlucky sem 1 where i was hospitalised..
n done terribly badly...
.3 every coming sem improvement.. n i shudnt be too far away from it ya?
gambatte shirley~!!!!
was gg thru pple's blog..
goodness.. n congrats to siyong..
he got his dean's list~!!!
still remember tt he once called himself "the least value added boy in nus"
because he stays back in sch frequently to mug with his frens..
but his cap was always ard 3.5...
i guess he has proven tt it's possible..
it's good news for me~!
went to take a look at the dean's list for chem engine..
saw quite a few familiar names again..
appearing for the 2nd time..
it makes me wonder why these pple can hit it so easily..
wad's the secret?
i've worked pretty hard this sem..
finally got above 4..
realli happy n proud of myself..
but still a lil uncontented becoz i knew i cud have done better..
if it's not for the careless mistakes i have made...
so my aim for my next 2 years is to hit dean's list once...
i;ve been trying hard for 3 sems.. finally made it to above 4 in sem4..
to make up for the very unlucky sem 1 where i was hospitalised..
n done terribly badly...
.3 every coming sem improvement.. n i shudnt be too far away from it ya?

Cruise to Nowhere...
yup.. it's super star virgo~!
went for a retreat on the sea with granny and her sisters and mother..
yes her sisters~!!
can u believe it?
I was on board with 6 other women, at least 2.5 time my age...
it was quite fun...
first day was happening..
i rushed to harbourfront right after my lessons..
no different to other kiasus singaporeans, all my grant aunt were eager to get to their rooms n get their butts on the seats in front of the dinning table as early as possible..
they were already waiting for me and my granny at the chi restaurant when we board the cruise..
well but i have to admit.. thanks to their kiasu-ism, we did not have to queue up for a table..
later, i went to visit my "grandpa"..
The lavish Las Vegas resembling sight was overwhelming...
the casino was so crowded....
one almost had to queue to gamble...
it's ridiculous~!
y i call the casino "grandpa"?
tt's becoz i always leave with some extra cash in my pocket...
it's 100% win so far...
my strategy is to look young n innocent in front of the camera spying on top of the table..
they'll give it to u..
once u got ur extra "pocket money", go buy candy n never come back~!
the evening performance was great..
much better than the previous ones tt i have watched..
it's called STREET LIFE... accompanied with lots of hip hop n jazz music..
realli my cup of tea..
i wondered if my granny realli liked it..
oh yeah... gotta highlight the magic show..
it was great!
they actually managed to invite Mike Myers from Las Vegas..
he incorprated the robotic dance moves to his performance..
he's realli entertaining...
it kinda made the cruise trip quite a bit more enjoyable than my previous times..
my 2nd day was much slower...
dim sum breakfast was ok...
then, i went to ktv with my granny n grandaunt..
luckily, i have been having some practices outside with my fren..
if not, it'll be quite embarassing to sing out loud at the central room where u get lotsa passbys..
lunch again at the chi restaurant was a total disaster...
the fish stink.. n the soup tasted weird...
we were presented a fish head twice...
twice for 5 pple.. when the others were getting the tails where there were much more meat...
we couldnt wait to head up to 12th floor for buffet..
where we routinely, go for coffee, desserts n fruits..
since lunch was bad n i didnt eat much..
i filled myself in during the buffet..
somehow the food there tasted so much more better than the chi restaurant..
after lunch... i spent most of my time alone..
with nth much to do... slept thru the afternoon...
waiting for the bbq dinner...
ha i was like a pig..
n i havent ben a pig for a long time ever since i strated wokring in STRIP..
missed being MS PIGGY~!!
this is where we had out bbq dinner..
beside the pool, i booked a table for the 7 of us...
tt's me n my granny at the table...
n tt's my great grandmother n 5th grant aunt...
my grand mother is a regular to cruise..
but she hasnt gone for 3 months due to her operation..
i am glad tt she;s still strong... n well again...
then we went to watch zhu mi mi sing..
haha surprisngly funny n entertaining..
after dinner, the grannies went on to try their luck in the casino..
while i wondered ard the ship..
it was a pleasant surprise to find tt they had a great live band..
i spend about an hour at the pub listening to great music n reading a lil bit of the book tt i brought along...
not bad at all....

Working at Raffles
After all the speculation for the past few weeks, Marcus finally transferred me to Raffles..
2 staff has quit...
One of them worked for less than a month..
I wonder y the turn over rate is so high in STRIP...
Is it the people here? The cock up HQ?
Or is it just the demanding customers that we get to meet?
Now I am here to fill in those spaces till the end of the month..
heard that they employed new staff again.. wonder how long they can last..
It's quite boring here.. I dun understand why they need so many pple here..
it's so ulu.. many customers have troubles searching for the shop..
And compared to Paragon, all the staff here have much time to idle around..
Time inches away here in Raffles..
BORING~!!!!

it sucks... this company is quite cock up..
the salary payment date was continuously delayed...
on top of tt, almost all the therapists did not get the correct amount too..

i just brought my 2 dearest dogs out for a walk just now...
it's realli a wonder how dogs can control their pee pee and poo poo all the way until the end of the day when their owners bring them out for a walk..
boy boy was running from tree to tree, plant to plant, lamp posts to lamp posts, claiming his territory with his "useful waste"...
they can control it so well that they can ensure an almost even spread throughout their journey...
dunno how they manage tt..
haha...

the end....just like tt...
不必再说些故事和眼泪的废话
反正你就是不再爱我了
好聚好散应该是我的回答
可是我就是不能那么潇洒
你尽管放心,我会原谅你
虽然我开始越来越恨你
过去点滴难道都不值得珍惜
该怎么爱你你才会满意
既然爱情已经到了尽头
天啊我该做些什么才能让你多爱我一秒钟
其实我一直都在等 一直在等
等你爱我爱得多一些
既然爱情已经到了尽头
天啊我该做些什么
才能让你多爱我一秒钟
其实根本就不必等 等吧不必等

went to jog today..
managed to finish my 30min route without any cramps..
i need to find a new route.. it;s getting boring and mentally discouraging..
i sang the cheers we used to do in tk during training to encourage myself..
it kinda distracted me from the fact tt there's still a long way to go ahead..
here's one of them:
(echo after every line)
whello x6
everywhere we go
people wan to noe
who we are
where we come from
so we tell them
we are from tk!
strong and mighty tk!
blogskins.com template scripts are getting very user-unfriendly..
every line one after another w/o any paragraphing...
it sucks.. i cant chage my skin like tt

SCRAP IT!!!
i am very pissed off lately by someone..
it's so irritating when u keep getting leached by someone who doesnt put in any effort into his own business..
it's even more frustrating when he's so selfish tt he onli thinks for himself, for his own convenience, for his own comfort..
u feel this reserve to treat him as a true sincere fren..
u feel the reserve to share with him..
y help a person who doesnt wan to help himself?
the turn outs of the luna gatherings lately are getting from bad to worse..
it's quite sad tt we're no longer as close as before..
pple start to drift away... to their own cliques..
i happen to stay loyal to this disrupting grp..
i;ve reminding pple of bdaes n organizing bdae celebrations...
pple dun seem to understand tt it isnt as simple as they are..
it's a time for us to bond and gather again despite the diff schedule and commitments we have..
surely, we're just frens.. there's no commitment, no responsibilities like we have for our family and partners to discuss here..
but shud i stop?
prob no one has ever tot of how the organizers feel when the turn out is so low, not if they have done it before..
the usual participants get tired of the low turn out rates.. they feel tt it's meaningless to spare some time from their busy schedule to meet these "frens".. they are discouraged..
so the situation worsened..
everyone find it meaningless..
y am i still doing it..
i ask myself.. even though we're not super bonded, will luna still be able to maintain wad we are right now, if i stopped when i first got discouraged?
cant imagine how things wud be if tt happened..
is it my own wishful thinking tt luna will stay united?
it sure seems so...
when so many pple dun seem to care, shud i stop bothering about such silly things?
shud i let the same mistake happen again?
w/o me, we missed 2 bdae celebrations..
shud i?

thank god raj was lenient.. still got a A, along with at least 1/3 of the cohort for PDC..
kinetics was rather surprising..
haha loren seemed more excited than i am... "u got 9/10!" he shouted when i came into the lab..
i dunno if it's gd.. coz i still feel like i dunno much..
still glad tt i did the paper myself..
sense of achievement i gues..
let's hope my careless mistake wasnt too costly in hmt now..
anyway i checked out with OCC and Aranda..
sigh.. freakin ex!!
$25 per pax for a decent dinner.. it's madness!!
now i am considering, safra, aloha loyang and aranda...
i wan to have a chalet beside the pool if possible..
aranda isnt.. but it's a big place, fully air conditioned..
safra's big too.. but very ulu.. pple will have to take shuttle bus in n out..
not very convenient for pple who dun wanna stay over...
aloha's probably the one tt fits all my criteria best..
but yimin already had hers there.. wud it be boring to have it there again?
n it's not fully air conditioned.. so i dunno...
how how???

end of hell week... yippee~!!
hai... last week was wad all chem engineers called hell week..
we had 3 mid term tests and 3 assignments to hand in..
and the most disturbing thing is tt most of them were due on the same day we have our tests..
cny was totally ruined...
coinciding with the first 2 days of our study break, we had 2 lesser holiday days..
crap.. who could realli enjoy cny with 3 mtt n 3 assignments behind our head?
well, i still tried to enjoy it to the fullest...
not touching any webcasts or tutorials for the first 3 days.. hehehe...
but the rest of the week was hell... all the way till last sat...
we're up against real competition... prob worse than our senior batch...
some spoilers bring homework to parties..
yes.. it's tt bad...
i'm quite satisfied with my prep for most of the 3 tests..
pdc n hmt was easy... but i made careless mistakes.. darn..
quite costly i believe.. when the test is easy...
n i realised tt when chem engineers say "quite ok", they mean "i can get full marks" not a B+ onli..
o gosh... feel tt my efforts a lil wasted.. but sometimes such things happen.. cock ups.. well it always happen to me.. careless me...
my prep for kinetics was the worst... realli felt like i didnt noe much..
surprisingly, the test was not too bad.. prop got a few wrong..
but it didnt feel as bad as last year's mtt tt i attempted..
whu noes.. it might be my best paper so far...
sat was great... went to shop for yimin's present...
went to watch movie with dear.. n we went buffet cum kbox!!
hehehe... we havent met for 1 whole week!!!
everything was great!
sunday, we cleberated yimin;s bdae...
she was very busy the entire day..
getting very kanchiong like those aunties...
dunno wad to wear... n scamppering ard the entire day.. muahaha..
she brought her entire closet to chalet..
i helped her a lil with the food..
think it was not bad.. weijin they all said the beehoon is nice..
haha... learnt quite a bit on the dos n donts in such parties...
will be useful when i have my own in aug...
n pple.. it'll most prob be on 11th or 12th aug.. most prob 11th..
venue prob aranda country club (pasir ris) or orchid country club (yishun)...
aranda is 250 per night, with 2 rooms.. most of u shud have seen it.. coz i organise all my chalets there... it has bbq pit outside n we gotta order our own food..
occ is more ulu but there's a shuttle bus from 2 mrts i think.. about 110 per night inclusive of 2 breakfast n bbq dinner for 4, can add on if required. in fact, the have pple to help u bbq.. the value added thing is tt they have paint ball if we wanna play... haha... but the room is onli half of aranda..
if u get to read this, let me noe where u prefer..

An evEnTfUl 1 yEAR...
2 days ago, we celebrated our 2nd official valentine's day and also our 1st year anniversary..
it's a very important day for the both of us..
i was eager and excited...
much money and time was spent to prepare for this special day..
staying up till 4.30am to finish up the presents was definitely worth it...
it's the best gift i have ever made..
so proud of myself.. lol...
i made this photo album with a hand sewn furry blue cover..
it contained some of the best pictures we have taken for the past 1 year...
it's like some scrap book...
every page has its own theme, has its own look..
just like every other day in our lives...
but wad's important is tt this album captures our story for the past 1 year...
wad ever happens, the onli thing tt matters is tt we're together...
i feel tt it;s a very meaningful gift and i hope that we can fill up the remaining pages..
n complete many more albums together in the future...
it'll be great if we can go thru all of them in future when we're old..
hahaha....
i'll upload some of my fav pages later.. it's all with him..
o.. loren gave me a great idea...
anyone wan to make sth like tt for special ocassions in future?
just let me noe.. gimme the pics, i'll get the materials and help u compile everything together with a reward for the service of coz.. lol....
i enjoy making such stuff...
then, i tired to make truffles for him and lunatics...
once again, it;s proven tt we shud never follow the recipes...
onli my peanut truffles were successful..
they all taste great in my opinion..
but they all melted except for the peanut ones...
thank goodness tt everyone appreciated the effort and tried a few each..
think yimin ate quite a few, ya? lol...
the roses tt dear bought were the best looking ones ard i;ve seen in engine..
hehehehe...
he must have spent a lot this year...
he also bought me a pair of earings..
n how thoughtful he is to get me the driving theory tests books...
the best was saved to the last... he made these A4 cards with grafitti bkg of special messages he has sent me the past 1 year and pasted our pocket size pictures on top..
it;s realli sweet...
n the best part of it is the envelope... looks damn zai...
when i first got it, i though he bought it..
looks very professional with logos n all..
ahahaha...
shall post some pics up here soon...
the day itself was pretty simple and yet romantic..
dear's right.. we shudt rush....
it's a lot more comfortable i guess...
we went to marine parade n play some pool...
it seems like one of our fav common past time already...
then went to fish n co for seafood platter!!!!
wa very filling...
last but not least, we went to ecp - the place we first met and the place we first dated..
he tried to light up the candles he used to form "i luv u" and a heart at the bottom but the wind was just too strong...
so we went to somwhere near my place instead to try...
after many attempts, we finally succeed!!!
it's realli sweet of him....
i'm glad tt we are still together today...
n looking forward to the rest of our lives together..
i luv u dear...

5 days to Vday~!!!
ah! part tech test is finally over...
though it didnt go as well as i hoped it wud be, it's still a burden off my shoulder...
kinetics kinda drive me to nuts..
i kinda like it.. coz it's more of thinking questions..
but.. i think there are too many concepts n equations for me now..
still quite lost... gotta read up the text book again..
life as a uni student isnt very exciting actually..
i've got never ending webcasts to cast and pilling up tutorials to do..
i;ve just got so much to do everyday...
relali wonder how much different life wud be if i am studying overseas right now..
siang say tt it's a lot more slower in sydney..
ah i wish i wish i wish..
just wish tt i can slack one full day every week w/o feeling guilty the next day...
the books will never go away.. the tutorials will still be there whether u like or or not...
it's ironical to realise tt one of the most pleasant thing i cherish this sem so far are my so called "free days" when i get to sleep a few more hours.. even though i still have webcasts to watch, it's still a lot better compared to the normal sch days..
i msg him just 2 days ago to say thank you and bye...
feels great to be able to let go of everything.. even the hatred...
though i have left my feelings on the day i was melted by my dear, the same questions still linger ard my head n occasionally they will surface and i start wondering how it cud ended tt horribly...
it has past so long ago.. n i have finally been able to kick away the hatred too...
i feel lighter.. and may be i can see love in a much simpler way from now on again...
time will heal all wounds.. tt's right..
but some bonds can never be forged or fixed back again...
let bygones be bygones..
i am a much happier person right now...
cherished and loved by someone special...
i hope i will also be able to give my everything without any holding back like u one day..
thanks for being there my dear...
looking forward to 14th feb...

Welcome to my new blog skin
I met up with 7 other 03s44 classmates in ps swensons last saturday night for dinner... wasnt as bad as i tot... not the turn out.. but most of the 7 were my pool gang in vj.. so... not too bad.. caught up with one another.. n talked to dy a lil.. i'm just glad tt things arent as bad as i tot.. at least it seems so...
mum blew up last night..
i dunno how to make an autocratic person learn to relax and understand tt u dun always have to be in control of everything..
it's quite a sad to feel tt i dun like to be home.. especially in the day..
it;s like it;s supposed to be the safest place..
but peace was not for long ever since mum came back from the hospital..
i like to help..
but i have millions of things to do on my list.
i cant event finish my tuts in time..
it;s realli hard to just put everyhting aside n attend to the household chores before u complete them..
i am so troubled...
n there's no one tt i can talk to..
how sad...
no one to hold me up...
it;s just complicated...

wad is forever?
"i will love you forever" tt's the phrase tt melts not only women, but many other men..
what does this phrase mean to u?
these simple 5 words convey sth so complicated and many a times undescribable, ur feelings to ur special one..
it means even more becoz of the last word, "forever"...
it is more than just a word...
it means commitment..
it makes it a promise...
a promise of a life time...
to me, it is all just empty words... until the day i die in peace with no regrets of meeting my man...
why do pple like to make such empty promises?
it is definitely not wrong... if u realli meant it when u say it..
does it mean tt i lied, if i said tt "i will be there for u forever" today, n i met someone better 10 years down the road n decide no end our relationship?
but i realli did loved u then...
did i lie?
or is it just tt sth unpredicted happened..
i didnt mean for such things to happen
i realli did love u... i loved u when i said it...
now... its just different...
i broke ur heart n i am guilty of tt..
but am i wrong to choose wad's best for me?
selfish i may be..
btw, tt's not wad's happening in my life....
just tot of this senario..
typically, pple will say tt they;re just not meant to be..
or may be she's not worth it.. he can find someone better..
but is anyone realli in position to blame her for breaking his heart or breaking her lifetime promise?
most of the time, couples decide to get married because they believe tt the other was their special one.. they look forward to a happy marriage on the day they walk down the aile.. but sometimes misfortune come knocking at their dooe and they just happen to find themselves struggling to keep the marriage alive. in the end, some divorced n ended their relationship bitterly.. was it anyone;s fault? did the 2 intended to break their promise on the day they said "i do"?
how sweet it wud be... how simple things can be..
if nth happens.. if couples cud just stay faithful to one another..
if couples cud just outlast n overcome every obstacle tt comes into their life..
isnt it all nice? isnt it a lil idealistic? am i pessimistic or practical enuff to leave 0.0001% for uncertainties in life... in life.. not relationship..
life's just so unpredictable.. instead of worrying wad will happen in future, y not treasure the present moment.. do wad u can to keep it as long as possible... stop worrying... stop asking... i will love u forever means i will love u forever NOW... i will love u FOR AS LONG AS I CAN, FOR AS LONG AS LIFE PERMITS ME TO.. FOR AS LONG AS FATE ALLOWS ME TO...
as convenient as it sounds... tt's how things are...
fate may be in ur hands.. i believe so too..
but some things happen for a reason..
a reason tt no one has found an answer to..
sometimes, no matter how hard u try, life just doesnt go ur way..
nth is constant in this present world.. the onli constant is change..
there's no forever in the real world..
we can onli treasure our present...

My Japan Trip 5
here's my last post on Japan.. then i can dump tt note book i brought along already... gosh... sooo long~!!!
Day 7 - Osaka - Last night in Japan
Wwe visited Osaka City University early in the morning with Keiko Aunty. She brought us to her working lab where Mom took a few pictures of Aunty Keiko's working environment. Here's one:
We also visited the library for medical students and also the hospital beside it.
After that, we went to Osaka Castle. It was surrounded with tall walls made of huge stones. The place was evry quiet unlike the castles that we've visted in China. It was great to have a chance to climb all the way up to the top of the main tower where we could have a good view of the surrondings. It is indeed a beautiful and peaceful place. We also got to learn more about the history of the king who built this castle in the museum at the 2 lower levels of the tower.
Then we also visited this long shopping street like the Ochard Road of Singapore. This place is called Harajuku. Harajuku is lined with shops selling the most trendy clothes in Japan. There, we could easily see the difference between the Japanese and Singaporean fashion sense. Their dressing were much more exaggerating and daring.
O ya.. I noticed that men are still more superior than women in Japan. There was this couple that caught my eye in the train. The guy was sitting down instead of his girlfriend. And the gal was realli sweet to offer to hold all the shopping bags while standing up so that her bf could take a nap comfortably. I guess I prefer to stay in Singapore. I dun like MCPs!!!
We came back to Tennoji for dinner at Keiko Aunty's house. Mom bought a lot of ingredients to cook from the supermart nearby. Yes!!! It was Singaporean style! Laksa, black pepper chicken, Curry and vegetables... Mum was complaining about the chicken she bought the entire night. Lol.. it cost us S$30.. about 6 times the price of one in Singapore... Keiko Aunty told us that it is probably a local breed from the moutains.. no wonder the meat was so tender...
After dinner, Keiko Aunty took us to an island where there were special xmas decor.. The entire event was called Osaka Hikari-Renaissance 2006. The trees were lighted with xmas lights that danced with the xams songs blasting from the big speakers around the place.. Though it wasn't as spectacular as what we have in Singapore, I must admit that it was still beautiful and romantic. I could have melted if I was with the right person.. Well and of coz.. I realized how much I missed my dear.. It was kinda tough for me to hold back those tears when there were so many couples cuddling together around me.. Realli hope that I'll be able to visit Orchard Road on xmas eve when I am back in Singapore with dear.. It'll be all that I need this holiday..
Then we headed to the bazaar across the highway where there were more xmas light displays and artistic structures put up my the local art students. Some of the structures were made of recycled materials like pastic bottles. It reminded me of rag in NUS. lol.. The place was charming but somehow it wasn;t all tt pleasant.. I felt very lonely walking past the busy lights. Wasn't in the mood to take any pictures.. this is my onli 1:
It was a great holiday.. just that something is missing...

My Japan Trip 4
Day 5 - Mt Fuji
We woke up at 6.30am this morning and headed for Mt Fuji after breakfast by JR line. Our journey there was a little rough since some of us havent had a good slenight sleep and were hence moody. It got a little frustrating when Mom was insisting her way and not listening to the rest. It's been ongoing since day 1..
Upon reaching Hawagouchiko station, we had lunch in one of the nearby restaurants. I had Tempura Udon. It costs about 750 yen which is about S$10.50. Quite expensive for some udon, a prawn and a green pepper. But it is the chepaest meal I had so far in Japan.
Then, we took a retro bus to our hotel. It's quite a neat place and I was realli surprised to find that we would be spending the night in a Japanese style hotel room. This is how it looks like.
tt's my dad.. his fav pic.. wahaha..
It is furnished with tatami and wooden floor, Japanese beds and a little tea table. It was the biggest room we've stayed in Japan so far. O ya, the furniture and all inspired my fmaily to make a short clip of "the ring" in the hotel room in the evening when we didnt have anything to do. Haha.. unfortuntely, I cant put it up here..
It was about 2.30pm by the time we settled down. Since the sky turns dark much ealier in winter and the bus service stops at about 6pm, we decided to go to Doggy Park, one of the top attractions in our list. Unfortunately, Doggy Park is out of the bus route. So we had to take a taxi up to the place. It took us only about 15min but the taxi fare was veyr expensive. The ride costs us 1730 yen which is more than 20 bucks sing. Our day became even more disappointing when we found out that it would be closing in an hour's time. Thank god the kind uncle at the ticket booth only charged us for half the entrance fee. Still, I feel that it wasnt worth our money. There wasnt much to see. It's probably an ideal place for the locals to bring their pet to since there were many play grounds for the dogs. The dog show has ended and the staff were starting to clear up some of the places. Well, we could only tried to make the best of what we have. I was quite happy that we got to the "communication square" before closing to play around with some very friendly dogs. Even mom had a great time.
The most whiny dog around with me
see how guai they are?
may be Mom wont mind me getting another dog :P
my new found 2nd best to Maltese - Schnauzer
We took the first bus of the day to another river in the west . The view of Mt Fuji is much better there. I managed to take a couple of close up pics of the mountain. Our schedule was tight since we have to check out of our hotel room by 11pm.
We visited a few attractions along our way. First was a garden and some sort building called the lifestyle building or something like tt. Unfortuntately, it was winter and the garden wasnt at it's best appearance. I'm sure the place will be a lot more beautiful in spring.
Next, it;s my fav spot of the day - The Lava Cave. Yes volcano lava! We were told that the temperature in the cave was 0 degree celsius and there is a natural fridge and storage place deep in the cave. Icicles lined along the walls of the cave as we explore deeper. It was realli dark and my brother almost knocked on the stone ceilings of the cave many times because he was too tall. Ha...
We then explored into a forest where the pathways and surroundings were covered with dried lava.
Lastly, we visted the perfume and herb centres where they grew many strong smelling plants in a glass house and dried plants upside down on the ceiling to retain their natural shape.
Overall, it was a pleasant experience to visit Mt Fuji where we got in touch with many sides of nature. I guess I prefer the beautiful scenery of nature in Japan to the bustling city in Tokyo.
The later half of the day was mpostly spent on trains and railway stations. It was a longjourney back to Osaka. We took Sinkansen, the fmaous bullet train where we had to change twice to local trains before we meet Keiko Aunty again. On the train, there was this Japanese school girl with blond rebonded dolly hair. I thought it was rather inviting for the men around. She was ignorant of her surroundings and was sitting with her legs wide apart. Dun blame me for comparing her to the Japanese pron stars. Coz the way she was sitting with her hand between those open legs of hers, she realli look like a Japanese porn star in action. I am not exactly comfortable with this "culture" in Japan. Young school girls with heavy make up in their uniform. Ridiculously short skirts in the cold winter. What are their parents busy with?
By the time we reached Osaka, it was 9pm. We were very sorry that Keiko Aunty and her husband had to wait an hour for us. Wwe had dinner in one of the subway sushi restaurant but was disappointed with the variety and quality. Well I guess they were closing.. wad can we expect.. Noticing that Dad havent had much, the generous couple took us to a bbq resturant 10min away from their place where he got to try cow's tongue and stomach for the very first time. Ew.... :P
Here's some pic that I have taken in Osaka:

I saw many Huskys, St Bernard, Boxton Terrier and other rare breeds that I am not sure of their names. I bet I'll be able to play with many other dogs if we came at the right time. I must visit the place again if I go to Japan again next time.
We settled our dinner in our hotel room. Cooked maggie mee and canned food.. coz it is very expensive to eat around that area and the hotel restaurant was closed.. Poor us..
O ya I forgot to comment about Mt Fuji.. I think it;s a magnificent product of nature. It is certainly magnificent. It almost looked unreal.. Like a printed wall paper placed behind the trees and houses.. And sometimes you'll get to see clouds around the moutain. It seemed like Mt Fuji was floating in the sky. I should take more picture of it tomorrow if I have a chance.

This is becomign a drag.. I didnt realise that I have written so much... well for memories...
Day 4 - Asakusa
Asakusa is an old town of Tokyo which is very popular among the tourists since it is said to be the best place for them to buy souvenirs.
On our way to Chitsan Hotel, we passed by the famous Japanese toy company Bandai building. Statues of the popular cartoon characters lined beside the building. How can we not take photos with the cute statues...
After unloading our luggages, we headed to the famous Sensoji temple. Along our way, we passed by a few shopping streets where anmany souvenirs and local delicacies were sold. Dad was intending to settle his lunch there. Lol... The busy streets were beautifully decorated with man made cherry blossoms. It kinda reminded my of Chinatown in singapore during our Chinese New Year. We were greeted by a huge paper latern in front of the gate of Senjosi temple. The temple was crowded with devotees praying for well being.
the beautiful shopping street
Freshly made Japanese rice biscuits~!!!
the biggest lantern I have ever seen
in the park around Senjosi temple
After that, we went to search for the museum that displayed traditional Japanese craftwork like lanterns, wooden decor and shelves. It was quite an interesting place even though we couldnt learn much since everything was in Japanese. Haha.. it was also a great place for us to rest our poor feets after walking so much.
We headed for the famous Asahi beer brewing building after that. It is one of the most unique buildings in Asakusa though the locals here don;t quite like it.I have to agree because the yellow structure on the top of building kinda resemble feaces.. wahaha.. Well it is suppose to resemble a beer mug. Not very nice I guess..
By chance, we came across a Tokyo Cruise Centre where we took a ship ride around the coastal areas and had a chance to see another side of Tokyo. The ride was unbearably slow and boring as it progresses. But dad loved it. He was busy taking pictures of the 13 bridges we went past. Every one of them have a distinct structure and colour. Well my dad's an engineering inspector.. wad can I say.. Here's one of the bridges:

the unique ship that we passed by. It's so much flatter than the ship we're taking
We alighted 3 railway stations away and it was time to explore Tokyo again. The blind leading the blind. With absolutely no clues of where we were, we searched for the closet JR station with the help of local maps on the streets. That's what I call adventure. Ha..
We stopped by 3 stations - Uneno, Akabashi and Okayamishi (I am not sure if I spelled them correctly.. pardon my memory)
Uneno was my favourite place in Tokyo. It was crowded with shopping streets which resembled Bugis street of Singapore. There were also shops selling fish and frozen seafood. I was very much satisified by the Oishi famous local street delicacy that I found there. It's like a pancake with vegetable, egg yolk that oozes out when you bite on it that complements the Japanese sauce and Mayo added on top. Ahhh it was just simply heavely! Well it was kinda late when dad wanted to take a picture of me eating.. wahaha.. it was all gone!
