Japan Part 5 - shopping and food

This trip, we managed to taste the freshest 'sea' creatures.. we had two of these boats....super super yummy... :)




more amazingly, we had the famous Kobe beef. Apparently the Kobe cows drink milk in the morning, drink beer in the afternoon, listen to classical music and need to be massaged everday.. Thus, that explains the extremely soft texture of the meat and of coz this correlate with the extremely expensive price.

We visited the Imperial Palace during the birthday of the Emperor of Japan. The bridge was where Japan has declared to surrender unconditionally for the World War 2.

Shopping in Ginza. You can imagine all the international brands have their own builidings of at least 6-8 storeys high i.e. Dior, Giorgio Armani, LV etc etc. Everyone in Japan loves their 'branded' bags and jewellery. You could see the shops were packed with people and i was tricked to believe there was a sale where in fact it was not. It is just the norm for young japanese to buy branded items as though they are buying groceries :P

white xmas in Japan - Part 4 - feel like a child again..

This trip to Japan, we visited the Universal Studio Theme Park and Tokyo Disneyland and it is also my first disneyland ever! definitely made me feel like a child again... :)

It was xmas eve and so the entire disneyland was packed with people!

The famous character in Japan now - Hello Kitty!

We waited for about an hour and half for the first show due to massive amount of crowd, everyone got frustrated, thus we left disneyland and we decided to go shopping instead :)

white xmas Japan - Part 3 - mount Fuji

This is probably the highlight of the trip for me.. a trip to Mount Fuji.. Unfortunately, as it was snowing, we could not make a trip up to the mountain.. but nonetheless, we stayed at the summit of the Mount Fuji and it was amazing to be able to admire and feel the fluffy snow on your body while you soaked naked in the hotspring...too wonderful to be true.. :) highly recommend this!

At the entry gate to Mount Fuji...yup! it was snowing! wooottsss!




On board of a pirate ship...



We ate the famous black egg.. apparently, after you eat one, you can extend your longevity for another 7 years... for those who are wondering how it looks like, the shell is all black in colour, but the inside is like our normal boiled egg.. could not tell the difference either..

The view from the balcony of our apartment.. breathtaking...

Lying on the snow.. so fluffy.. and it was freezinggggg .....

white xmas in Japan - Part 2 - Kyoto

Thankfully i read the book 'memoirs of geisha' and when i arrived in Kyoto, i could totally relate the story to the actual scene... it felt so real..

Kimono fashion show... apparently in the olden days, one must have a 'full' ass in order to bring out the flavor of kimono.. and when a man favors you, he will indicate so by pinching us ass :)

Those who are married will wear a shorter sleeves..so look out for the length of the sleeves before you start pinching :)

I think these are either shimasen or maimeko..not a true geisha.. too ugly to be a true geisha.. :)

one of the world heritage site under UNESCO.. the temple is built by staking 109 stilts.. not even one nail was used.. amazing.. also.. beautiful maples trees.. too bad, there was not much left.

white xmas in Japan - Part 1

I was in Japan for one week over the xmas break. It is a beautiful country. For me, it is not a love at first sight.. but strangely, its a country which you will grow to love upon exploring more about it.. I visited Osaka, Kyoto and Tokyo.... its amazing that every step you take, you can find pretty girls and hot guys on the street.. * i need a makeover*

All of us waiting anxiously at KLIA to depart for Kansai Airport, Osaka.

The japanese snacks! Yummy! Its like my dream came true to be surrounded with so many beautiful snacks.. :)

The famous Bullet train travelling at a speed of 270km/h bound for Kyoto.

mugged....

my biggest nightmare living in Malaysia happened last nite.. i was mugged..

it all happen in the train station somewhere near my house.. i was walking home on way back from work around 845pm.. it was raining outside and i was holding my umbrella.. i walk briskly hoping that i would reach home soon... suddenly, there is this indian man who appear out of nowhere and grab my neck and pull my necklace.. i tried hitting him wf the umbrella.. and i think he then ran and aborted his plans to take my bag... he only managed to get the pendant as half of the necklace was still hanging off my neck..however, there was ardy bruises all over my neck..his eyes were scary... as though he had visually raped me... it was scary and i could not sleep whole nite....i tried very hard not to think about it.. really tried...sob..sob..

Day 6 - She's On The Way Back

Yay, it's finally Christmas day today. Tomorrow is boxing day I wonder what will I be doing tomorrow. My gf still hasn't sms me or wat at all but i know she's coming back today. Can't wait to speak to her... I'm sure she'll sms me an tell me how much fun she had n how much she misses me and how she wish that i was there to be with her.

I can't wait to hear her voice.. miss her heaps... finally this blogging thing is going to end today. Oh yeah!

Day 5 - Kill The Evil Witch(Weed)!

5th day not hearing my gf's voice and 3rd day she didn't sms me. I'm still cool i know she'll be back by tomorrow. So fast christmas eve already. I hope she's enjoying herself and having a safe and peaceful night. I miss her heaps.

There was and infestation at our backyard. Today me and ben decided to take some action. Ben equiped himself with a pair of gloves, a rake and a pair of shears. We did our geographical research on how we should tackle the infestation. I started by cutting off the limbs vigorously, not giving any second thoughts, converting my loneliness to power. Ben then scrape through their dead bodies and limbs covered with soil with the rake. Piling it up, it gives out a final desperate retaliation stench hoping that we'd give up our onslaught.

Ben ripped and tear the limbs apart wearing his gloves. The battle went on for hours and finally they started to retaliate. The infestation brought in their allies. A measly fly tried to annoy us by landing on our face constantly. We were seriously annoyed but it'll take more than that to stop us from slaughtering the whole colony. As we dig deeper and deeper, we were surprised to see how complicated and strong the infrastructure of the roots. Retaliation gets stronger and stronger as we inch closer to their main base.

Within an hour we took over half of their territory, tearing apart and destroying all the infestation. None was left alive, not even the young or old. We brutally destroyed the whole colony. The battle went on for almost 2hours and finally we emerge victorious.

We finally have a clean and neat backyard ready for our BBQ tonight on xmas eve. We end up not using it because the weather is too cold. I really wonder why is it always so cold during xmas eve on summer. The government must be hiding some weather control machine or something similar sort like getting their aboriginals to do a cold weather dance to freeze up the whole country.

Dinner was awesome.. I was eating and eating nonstop since 845 til around 1100. Consuming the food like like a glutton.

I wish my gf was here... sigh...

I didn't check copy or grammar, make up the sentence urself. Matt was talking to me while i was writing this and I had a few drinks too.

Day 4 - I'm Not Heavy Enough!

Another holiday for my lazy phone today. No sms from my gf for the 2nd day I hope she's fine. I started drinking protein shake today. According to Matt, i have to eat 6 meals a day... whoah.. i'm goin to be so broke. Around 3 more weeks before I fly back. I doubt the thing would take effect but i sure hope it does! By that time, my gf's mum wont be saying things like I'm not "wen zhong" enough.. Wen zhong.. sounds like stiff and heavy. I can be stiff anytime i want! I just don't wanna show it to her mum, HAHA!

Christmas eve is just tomorrow, we're having BBQ at our place again. This year we'll have lesser people.. missing Siao Yin and Andy and maybe Cookie. My gf better be here wif us for christmas. I'm running out of nonsense to write today. I feel so full the whole day today.

Tomorrow will be a pretty unhealthy day, will have to do workout before they all come over. Else i'll just be lazy and skip another day. No i have to be presentable when i go home to meet my gf.

Baby where are you... how come you didn't sms me for 2 days... what have I done to deserve this? I know you miss me like crazy too, lets hope that you can contact me soon. Anyway you'll be back on christmas day so it'll be soon anyway.

Miss you heaps dearest..

Day 3 - It's Not Ringing

The phone didn't ring today. An easy day for my phone today. Lying on the same spot infront of my keyboard collecting dust slowly consuming the battery on standby mode. Someone must've had lotsa fun, even forgotten to sms me. I'm cool its alright. I received my protein powder and my red shaker(I specifically requested PINK) today. The whole house smells like cookies and cream because of the protein powder.

Today is a very cold day. Raining and strong winds whole day. Matt invited himself over today for a healthy Saturday. He made some really healthy and yummy pan fried fish and even showed me his tummy or should i say six packs. Impressive! Looks like his 30 egg whites a day made their way into his stomach!

Dinner was good and after dinner we sit around the TV beside the fireplace to watch Dante's Peak. I was in my room when suddenly they turned on this training video. Andrew was forced to entertain everyone by doing some exercise. It ended when Andrew felt an urge to go toilet, almost like a self defence mechanism being activated. Something like how a lizard detach its tail when it is in danger kinda thing. I totally understand how he feels. I have that all the time when i go out shopping wif my gf. Trust me we're not faking it!

Everyone went home after deciding to have a BBQ on christmas, not sure if its on eve or not coz I wasn't there. Doesn't make any difference anyway I'm such an easy going person, everyone likes me! :P As long as there's food n drinks I'm happy. Easy to please person too!

I hope my gf is fine. I trust that she's fine and busy with something for not sms-ing me. I know she'll sms me when her phone is charged or if there's a line. I'll just wait and hope that she enjoys her holiday. She deserves it anyway, bloody workaholic!

Again i didn't do any grammar or spelling check. Sorry!

Day 2 - Invoked Reminiscence

Day 2 without my daily dosage of her voice. She's become an addiction to me. We chat every night, only after the chat we rest our tired minds and bodies. Received a sms from her yesterday evening saying something like this "so cold... super hot boys... wish to ride..." I totally understand how it feels to have a hot one on a cold day.

Today, I had dinner at this Korean restaurant that serves some pretty nice food. Only bad thing is that place is too small, I had to sit at a very obstructive position. Causing traffic jam through out my whole journey to savor the food. I've never had such a bad experience before. Because the place is so crowded, every few minutes someone would bump their groin, thigh, backside on my chair. I have to admit that it was the food that kept me from blowing up.

Back to my story... while i was eating, it reminded me on how I first dated my gf. She came look for me after eating some Korean BBQ with her god mother. I haven't had dinner yet that evening and she sure smells tasty, YUMMEH! I could still smell her BBQ beef she had for dinner and a hint of alcohol that's making her cheeks radiate.

We went out for my dinner. Things happened during dinner time. I'll save the details for interested ppl so i'm not going to write it here. But the fact is, everything I do, it somewhat ties in to her. Even when we visited Sexy Land after dinner, it totally reminds me of her. We've had so much memories together, I really bring myself to believe that she went Tokyo without me. I miss her.

Day 1 - My Girlfriend Left Me

The day has finally come. The day i dreaded so much. Ever since she told me the news that she will leave me I haven't had any good sleep. The negligence or should i say the cold war she gave me ever since she started working has been a very obvious hint. It's so obvious she's preparing me for something. Cunning like a fox she is, she didn't realize that her tricks will not work on me.

Few days ago on the 17th December, it was her birthday. I didn't do anything for her. She was really upset about it. Anger and hatred brought back memories of sorrow into her, clouding her ability to make a rational decision. She turned to her best friend, crying. In the end i made her a video to compensate her. Guess it was not enough.

19th December. She emailed me and this was part of the context written in the mail by her ".... hate relationship with you..." We continued chatting through email. I tried my best to remind her of our sweet memories. I thought it worked, i was WRONG. The last email i got from her saying "... this is so irritating, I'm just going to pack up and go... "

Later that day she sms'd me that there's a limo waiting to pick her up. I was like what? Since when she knows someone who has a limo. By the time i reply she's already in the airport. She's going on a holiday, to Tokyo. With who? 3 other men.. I knew this day would come. I just didn't know it'll be so soon. My heart shattered. Neither banana nor porn would put a smile to my face. Before she board the plane. She sms'd me again saying "... I'll take care of myself... " and that's the last i heard from her.


The story above is purely fictional. I'm just practicing my writing fiction(more like writing nonsense) skill which i'll be taking next semester as an elective. I didn't do any spelling or grammar check. Hopefully i'll write better nonsense next sem :) Not very expressive with my words. Anyway the truth is, she went with her bro, uncle, dad, mum, sister-in-law. All the emails n sms is true as well, I just took bits n pieces of it out to make it sound more dramatic.

I miss u heaps darling...

Thumbelina the Giant Dog?

Saw this interesting picture few days ago. Check out the size of the dog! Its as big as the Horse! Oh wait... Thumbelina is the horse.. Right.. so now look who's big or should i say look who's small? A midget horse i call it, the size of a medium sized dog known to be the worlds smallest horse! Pretty good idea to get ur kids a horse for chrismas eh? Heard that this horse is going around US raising funds for kids or something. Do your own research if you wanna find out more :P

Happy Birthday!

A lovely girl was born on this date. A close friend of ours. Oh crap.. not very poetic here.. I'll let my gf do the posting. Anyway, Happy Birthday Jean! Hope you like what i made for you from some new tricks I've picked up recently. Gladys couldn't afford anything fancy and I can't afford anything at all.. Best wishes to you and may your wishes come true! xoxo

Japanese Robots

The Japanese has never failed to impress me with their robots. Famous robots such as Gundam Mobile Suit, AppleSeed, Chobits, Robotech(classic) and many many more which i can't remember on top of my head now... Too much wikipedia! Recently Asimo visited Melbourne. Everyone knows who is Asimo right? The Japanese robot by Honda that could walk down the stairs? I remember someone told me that the Asimo actually fell down during a showcase. You'll prolly get the video from wikipedia... OPS i mean youtube.. still thinking bout the wikipedia from the previous post, haha!



Below video showcase a competition of some sort that Japanese ppl have. It is so interesting. Everything they do there interests me so much. I think stuff like that would slowly become a culture to Japanese instead of just a hobby. Maybe the future generations would learn in their history about their grand parents culture. Dig up fosilized comic books and tiny robots. Maybe i'll talk abit more about Japanese culture that most people doesn't know on my next post.. Maybe :P

Yummy Wikipedia

As i was blog hopping today i stumbled on this really funny article. Its a restaurant in Beijing that offers wikipedia. Yup you're right WIKIPEDIA is edible now, maybe?! Chinese was known for eating almost everything from insects to vermins anything they see moving they eat.

I wonder how does wikipedia tastes like... Hmmm...

Defending champion retains her title :)

Last year i attended the KL Bar Annual D&D with the theme Retro and won myself RM 1000 travel voucher by winning the best dressed femaly category. This year, i attended the same event, and once again, i won the best dressed for female category, dressing as 'cowgirl' in accordance with the theme 'hollywood'. This year the price was only RM 500 shopping vouchers. But nonetheless, it is an early bday present for me :) happy :)

Burberry's store opening at Pavilion

I was lucky to be invited to the recent Burberry's store opening in Pavillion, a new spanking huge mall open right in the middle of Bukit Bintang.

I must say..the models are.. too adorable to be true :P i still prefer ang moh models (especially this one standing on my right) compare to asians..

Colleague's wedding

I attended another colleague's wedding sometime in late November. Been wanting to post it up since last month... and somehow time just flies...the wedding dinner was held in Prince Hotel, Kuala Lumpur and it was a very nice and romantic evening..We were greeted with a pair of dolphin ice sculpture at the entrance to the ballroom.. absolutely magnificient :)
