Japan Trip Pictures!





First day I arrived in Japan, we started on our bus trip and had a stop over at this place called Gotemba. Most of the shops here are on the high end and they're supposed to be factory outlets.
I stopped over at Hugo Boss to look at some slippers and a $300 price tag was hanging off its side. If $300 is considered "cheap" at a factory outlet, then I'm not sure what expensive is.




Traditional Japanese room that I stayed in when I was in the Hakone region.
It's simple yet elegant at the same time.



Ever imagined how I'd look in a dress? If any of you did... then I think you need help.
Well, this is the closest you'd ever get to seeing me in one.
It's called a Yukata, or Japanese traditional costume for men.
(It's easier to strip before going into the hot spring. Just slip everything off.)
And yes, I was wearing underwear.





The view from my room, gorgeous isn't it?
The colours of the leaves change ever so often, what you see today may not be seen tomorrow...





This looks a little like the trees in Hollywood!
But get this, this place is but a mere park in Japan.







Which is redder?
The leaves or my shoes?



Japanese kid who was playing in the park.
Japanese cutes are like super cute, especially when they open their mouths to speak...
It's like kawaii haven.



"We're sleeping!"
My cousin and a daughter from one of my uncle's friends playing on a bench.








Thsi is how traditional our stay was.
That's how we had our meals.
Cue "Da Chang Jin" music, please!





See the big glass bowl beside the set-up?
That's where the fish were swimming a few minutes ago.
The chef speared them through the mouths and out of their stomachs before cooking them as seen above.
Cruel, but true.



Interesting way to cook our beef!
It's a stone that has been heated to a super high temperature so we can grill our beef.



The mochi that I made when I was at a mochi factory!
That's a flower and an orange.
They're kawaii and oishii!
And I'm proud that I made such cute things!



This roller coaster owns Escape Theme Park's roller coaster 123534637467658 times over.
I sat on this coaster like 3 times till my face and hands felt frozen after that.





I like my branded water and chocolate!
Thanks Ritz-Carlton!



Disneyland Tokyo!

















The X'mas tree in Disneyland at night!


In front of a restaurant called "A-Bu-Cha" which served the most delicious food in the world. I was stuffed after that dinner. It was snowing rather heavily that night.
But hey, who's complaining? =)


If only every Singaporean male could just learn how to pee properly, our toilets would be so much cleaner and hygenic.
I miss the heated toilet seats and automated cleaning/washing device on the toilet seats.
I like the feeling when you sit on the toilet seat and not go "Ahh!" but "Ahhhhhhhhhh".

Ethan and I playing in the snow!
Isn't the snow gorgeous?

A giant crab that was served to us during one particular dinner.
We had dinner at this crab restaurant where almost every dish was a crab dish.
There was crab sashimi, grilled crab, chilled crab, crab porridge, crab fried rice and many more!
Thankfully, nothing was crap.



Why so shy, ladies?
These 2 pictures were taken at a glass shop which is modelled like the glass shops along the streets of Venice.

This dish was truly exotic.
The pinkish part at the top is fish.
The colourful parts at the bottom are the condiments which consisted of mayo, caviar, wasabi, biscuits and others.
You're supposed to mix everything together and dip it into the sauce in the pink dish at the side.
It tasted wonderful!
Pretty too!





A model Pokemon aeroplane owned by ANA.
I saw the real thing at the airport but I didn't manage to take a picture... Aww.
I even saw a Tamagotchi plane too!
Isn't this so cool?

Well, that's some of the highlights of the trip!
As you can see, there aren't many pictures of tourist attractions because we were free and easy during the trip. I feel it's more enjoyable too! I'm gonna miss Japan.

I think I left my heart in Japan when I left.
It's probably buried in the snow somewhere.
Hopefully I get another chance to go back there and retrieve it!

I Am Legend... right.

It was the 26th of December, a day after Christmas when we had a little class gathering. About the 11 of us 4H people got together to watch the movie I Am Legend. The movie was okay, I wouldn't say good.

I felt that it was really slow at some parts and there wasn't enough action. Maybe what the director was trying to convey was the human emotions involved between the main characters and less of the action. I'm not sure really but I sure thought the ending sucked... My heart did leapt out countless times because of the loud noises and "shocks".

It's like a premature heart attack or something when watching the movie.

Anyways, we headed over to VivoCity for dinner. This time, only about 8 of us were left because many went home for dinner. Walked around the area to look at the Christmas lights!





Did you notice that the three of us are wearing white?
That's because we're all pure and innocent! (:


Group photo!
Oh wait, there's someone else in the photo besides us!
Yupp, we met Miss Yeo at VivoCity having dinner with a special someone.
Hmm, can you guess who?
He was the one who took this picture by the way.
Haha! Well, it was nice meeting them.
It was more like meeting friends than teachers really, we had fun joking and teasing them while catching up on everything!

Hope to see them soon! =)
