ok i hereby announce that today is the last day of my Tokyo Trip.
Though im filled with happiness and sadness.
Happiness cause i gain soem knowledge about the world.
Sadness is i dont get to hear those people speak in Japanese and all the sight seeing and stuffs.
Well all good things come to an end eh?
we have to look forward in life.
so its like ok bye tokyo! soon i guess? in like about 11 more hours from my time now!
so this is what i did today.
Saturday(Doyobi) Ni-ju-ni (22th) December 2007
Ok today woke up at around 7 am.
as usually brush teeth yadayada eat breakfast yadayada.
and I gachapon-ed!
haha.... gacha too much but i still got the full set of figurines i wanted!
hahaha.... I own that machine! or is that machine that owned me?(2000yen)
after that went back to room to get ready to go to the Meiji Shrine which i missed.
Meiji Shrine is located at Harajuju station.
its a 5 to 10 mins walk to the station depending on personal speed lol.
ok reached the shrine and it has what a shrine should have LOL!
i lazy to describe lah... ok lah maybe this one I describe ><
firstly the entrance is some like eh... i dont know!!! sheesh can i put pictures?
haha. oh ya something interesting!
there's like a R.O.M. in Meiji Shrine sia!
and today i witnessed like 2 to 3 weddings!
how cool is that!
i thought can only see those weddings in lecture notes!
cant believe my eyes!
but then the bride is pretty and ugly at the same time.
so she's pretty ugly! =x
ok lah im bad lah but then i supposed thats when all women look at their best!
yep thats what some people say!
yep next stop! Imperial Palace!
Imperial Palace is located at the Tokyo Station.
ok basically the Imperial Palace is out of bound.
cause the reason is simple.
would you want anybody come barging into your house?
if not you'll know why its out of bound =)
instead the Imperial East Garden is open for the public!
though its only the east their east garden is HUMONGOUS!
inside the garden there's a gallery displaying some of the stuffs that those Imperial people owned once.
Ok its some vases and some paintings.
the one i remembered particularly is some deer painting. yep deers!
further down there's one big yellow tree which looks majestic.
and some patches of "gold" lands cos its patches of yellow grass nice!
and some maple trees! yep maple trees!
oh ya there's some orange trees also but the fruits that are bore is the minture version of a normal sized ones.
spent around like an hour in the garden. too big! ><
after the garden street went to Ueno for Ameyoko street.
sounds so much like ame mei's street haha...
so i went there and shopped for many things but couldnt buy cos dont have my size ><
and i went to their arcade to drum Xp
their arcade's so big luh! 4 stories!
dont know put what inside sia lol.
after shopping went to some ramen shop to eat!

Hello people im back to blog!
ok today basically is hmmm lets see...
spending most of the time on train rides =.=
japan is too big! travelling time is too long!
ok today woke up at 7am.
then breakfast then around 9 am, my family headed for mount fuji
its far alright and confusing ~.~
practically change here change there (railway)
Mayoimashita....(i am lost)
sadded lor changed from yamanote line to chuo line then to some private line.
from Okachimachi to Shinjuku then to Takao to the mount fuji stop(forgot the station name)
ok then reach the mount fuji place.
apparently mount fuji is closed during the winter season.
ya thank you for that closure.
and its like sian. nothing to do.
Mount fuji is closed on October till the end of winter season cos
1.Floor Slippery
2.Mountainous areas with heavy snowing is far too dangerous
3.maybe im too weak for mount fuji(oops why am I adding this? lol)
ok apparently these are few reasons why.
so just tour around the place.
the stop which mount fuji is located has a lake
i didnt go to the lake just did some shopping around the station.
lol. then headed for lunch cos even though i went out early,
the train took way too long.. about 2 hours plus i think.
boring so after shopping went back to Tokyo station.
geez its like dont you have a train from Tokyo to the place?
instead of like having a return trip from that place to Tokyo?
man... going home is fast. 1 hour only =.= 50% discount the distance going to the place.
oh well. at least i got to know how to go Narita airport
though it seems easy but after checking it out its like
wth. got shortcut or not?
lugauge heavy lah. onegaishimasu? lol.
today short day.
after that went to shop at the streets.
walk walk walk in the end walked from one station to another station.
Okachimachi to Ueno. wow i found out im a good walker SUDDENLY lol.
then went to pepper lunch to eat again.
cos there's free drinks this time! YaTa! lol.
well im a shingaporujin haha...
so must be kiasu a bit haha...
after that went back to hotel and tadah! here i am!
blogging and blogging again!
its 1am JPT and im not sleeping cos i slept so much in the train today!

Ok since my dad took away the adapter, i cant play games with the battery im having in the lappie so i guess i shall do some posting. well as promised.
ok today
Thursday 20th December 2007
ok today was a real bad day cause i slept at 2 and i woke up at 4.30 JPT.
and wow why did i actually take that nap? cos i have to go to some fish market in Tsukiji.
and why must it be so early? cos some tuna auctioning is going on! weeee
Ok the arrival of that place i was trembling cos its bloody cold lah! imagine 5 am! sun not up!
COLD COLD COLD!!!!
so i guess i have no choice cos i haven been wearing enough(serves me right eh?)
as usual lost in the railway.asking for directions and tadah!
the fish market!
Its totally crowded as there are so many fishermen driving around in some vechicle.
I dont know what that vechicle is so dont ask me please ><.
you can barely breathe as the air is clogged up with all those stinky air pollution.
well at least it was a good experience at the market as its so COOL.
SO MANY DIFFERENT TYPES OF SEAFOODDD!
and the tuna is as big as me(some) the rest are like errr a size of a 3 year old kid.
that big ya know! and the way they slice the tunas its like practically sawing them instead.
and the actually thing the auction!
some man shouting dont some stuff and dont know what he doing.
just imagine it as some other auction.
only that that sell their fishes like 5 secs one fish. madness...
and its like a tuna graveyard there cos there are like thousands of FROZEN tunas there.
i repeat FROZEN and it looks awkward.
oh ya i saw some fishermen cutting the tuna too.
i used cutting cos its like sawing wood in the DNT room.
i swear it looks like that!
dont worry i have photos as proof. just you wait people.
ya and i repeat the seafood is damn bloody big!!!!!
after that went back to hotel and had breakfast and slept for two more hours!
snore~~~~~~~
ok after that i went to Shinjuku!!!
another place which has so many shopping places!
went there to enquire about the Mount Fuji trip and book my tickets for shinkansen to go to narita airport for my flight.
after that its Isetan! cool!
i know its in Sg too but then different kind of feel.
Had lunch there which is practically like what it was when Ikea Tampines just opened.
had jap food again cos jap food is tasty errrm yummy errm colourful? lol
then after that went for some shopping!
and i came across a whole basement of desserts! nice!
their desserts was so colourful and like so much variety!
and there is also one brand of chocolate which is like for the rich.
people are practically in there choosing chocolates ranging from 500 yen to 5000 yen!
and after they pick the chocolates they sit down and have some tea? i think so
its like OMGWTFBBQ!
so rich! gimmi some cash will ya?! lol
after Shinjiku was the Meiji shrine.
but then it was closed booo.
never mind heading down TML!
so went to Shibuya! third stop of the day!!
went there to feel their fashion and look at some cool dog statues.
its cool cos its REALLY COLD!
lol...
and the human traffic is more than the vechicle traffic!
OMG!
the way they cross the road and never bump into each other.
Kudos to them.lol
and their fashion there is too overwhelming and i chose to do without them haha...
Final stop the Rainbow bridge!
ok its a bridge with total decorations! lighting etc etc.
railway-ed to Shimbashi
well all these are good experiences that are never in sg! or maybe?
oh ya there was also a mini statue of liberty. nice.
and its still freaking cold.
after that went to have some curry again for dinner! the same curry rice at my first post! haha.
its nice ok and considering to go for the third time! wooo!
ok im tired already so i think i'll stop! tml's mount fuji and i have to wake up at 7am!

woke up at like 8 am after sleeping at like 3 the previous night.
yawning all the way to the toilet.
oh ya speaking of toilet the toilet bowl is way fascinating.

you can adjust the temp. of your toilet bowl! sleek!
and also wash your butt with your toilet bowl! nice! haha.....
ok went down for breakfast at about 8.45am JPT.
breakfast is so boring cos i think the hotel's for business people so maybe thats the reason why.
had 3 eggs and loads of bread with 2 cups of tea (not lipton tea =( )
after that headed for errrm oh yes! Tokyo Tower!
kinda like the Paris's Tower but then it has its own unique features!
like the whole tower's red yep redddddddddddd.
took like a good thirty minutes walk from the station to like the actual tower itself
passed by a Shinto Temple before reaching.
oh yeah the temple actually had a place for people to drink water from!
nice~!
haha besides that then headed for the actual thing the Tokyo Tower!!! Roar!~~~
ok its very tall haha and very magnificant.
like how you see it on internet and stuffs.
wanted to climbed but then its a tad too expensive i guess =/
oh ya i had crepes when im there haha... nice banana and choco rice crepes yum lol.
ok after tokyo tower trip actually wanted to go to rainbow bridge but then due to some miscommunications in the end never go. instead we went to Ginzo, Japan's Orchard Road
went to Sony building to look for some high tech equip and saw their sleek MP3s
not out in SG i think well is it going to be even out?
went to have some belgian waffles and headed back to hotel.
after that for dinner wehad pepper lunch!

and its like cheaper! man! imba lol...
after that found a way to online and chatted.

well its cheap ok compared to sg. also saw Strike Freedom Lightning edition
