Now for the 浅草 temple…
Sorry for the late update because I have been sick for the past 2 days and I am still sick…
Haha..

The temple is really worth going…
Because there are so many things to see..!!!

人力车anyone??
Haha…
They bring you to the 7 famous temples in the vicinity…




This temple is famous for this BIG lantern..



Haha…
My dad said the lantern was changed to a bigger one…
It was not so big when he went the other time…

This is not a normal temple..
Haha…
Because after the BIG lantern…
You do not reach the temple YET…

This is what you see after the big lantern…



A WHOLE stretch of shopping…
Haha…
They sell lots of things..!!!

Wooden clogs..!!



Damn expensive though…
Don’t buy so many things form here…
It’s a tourist spot…
Meant to cheat tourist’s money…
So things will be slightly more expensive…

The must eat Mochi…
Looks so real right??
These are only the displays…



Packaging is really important here…



It makes you feel giddy…
Haha…

After a whole stretch of road…
You will see this…



So pretty right???
It’s fake though…
Haha…
It’s there because it’s the Sakura season there now…



There are lots of lanterns outside the entrance to the temple…
My mum says it’s used to pray…



This is like their 签筒…
The girls there really believe in this…



The 香炉…
They don’t put joss sticks in like we do…
There are big big big joss sticks inside and people just go next to the 香炉 and like put the 烟to their faces…
Like asking for blessing ya??
Haha….



Guess what is this…



It’s the “Donation box”….



You throw the coins in and pray…
Haha…
Very different from the ones in local temples…

Now….
Look at this group of girls…
Look carefully at their hair…



Yup…
There are 2 girls with the most “Fashion” hairstyle in Tokyo now…
It’s all over the streets!!

Ok…
That’s all for today..

My nose is killing me..!!
````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
躺在暖暖的被窝里
冷气“唧唧”响
空气顿时凝结
我的脑袋突然出现了一个问题
不断地重复问自己
“你快乐吗？”
我想了想。。。
我应该是快乐的吧？

=SmileX=
I love Tokyo….

Day 2…
Hmm….
Let me recall what I did first ah….

We went to Asakusa 浅草…
A very very famous “must go” spot for tourists…
We took a bus there…
Why???
Because my Dad say: “Can.! Can go one… Can see more things ma…”
And it took us 50 mins to reach there..!!!
When actually if you take the JR Train…
It will only take 20 mins…
But nevermind…
Because I really saw many things..
Haha…
Very interesting way to see the Japanese’s lifestyle….

A magazine stand…
See??
The guy is wearing a mask…


It’s very normal in Japan for people to wear masks…
Especially during this period of time…
The Sakura season…
Because many people has the problem known as 花粉症…
Which makes them sensitive to the pollen..
So you actually see MANY people wearing masks on the streets…



This shows how much Japanese look to drink right?
Haha…
They REALLY like to drink…
So don’t stay out too late in the night…
You see many drunkards…



You think they are fake?
They are REAL..!!!
Haha…
Because of the cool weather…
There are many pretty flowers everywhere…
And they are mostly real…
Very pretty…
I even saw tulips…
Haha…

See….


I told you they LOVE cycling…
Haha….
Seriously…
Bicycles are seen EVERYWHERE..!!!!

Before we went to the temple…
We went to 7-11 to buy something..

Look at the quality food 7-11 there has….

The dessert counter…


One of the many desserts…


They even have this..!!


I heard form my cousin that it’s nice…
But I didn’t try it…
Haha….

Along the way to the temple…
You will pass by a lot of restaurants…
They have beautiful displays…


But it’s also freaking expensive…



This few slices of fish cost almost 2000yen…
Which is about SGD26..!!!

But the irony is that I ate in this restaurant that afternoon…
Haha..
But of course I didn’t order that sashimi…
That shop is famous for it’s tempura 天ぷら
And it definitely is nice..
Haha….

Shall introduce the temple in the next entry…!!!

=SmileX=
I love Tokyo…

After we put down our luggage we took a train down to my auntie’s place for dinner…
Along the way…


Very pretty streets…
Haha…
Got “feel” right??
Haha…
We saw MANY bicycles…


They love cycling….
Bicycles are like seen everywhere….
Haha…
They even have places specially for people to park their bicycles…

Look at this….


This is how people buy cigarettes there…
It states that only people above the age of 20 can purchase it…
But seriously…
Who cares???
I think this is not such a good idea after all…
Haha…

This is part of the menu of the restaurant we went for dinner that night…



Look at the Xiao Long Baos on the top right hand corner..!!!
Haha….
And of course…
We ordered that too… =D


This is how the little restaurant looks like….
Really like those shown on Japan hour on CNA…
Haha…
Very traditional looking…

Trust me…
Vending machines are EVERYWHERE….


Along the streets…
In the corners…
No matter where you are…
Even if you are not thirsty…
A vending machine will still appear in front of you…



This is the display of a Bento shop…
It’s 24 hours..!!!
Can you believe it??
Haha…

Mister Donut…


You must be thinking why I took a picture of this place…
It’s nothing extraordinary…
BUT…
The donuts in Tokyo are SO nice…
They are not SO sweet like those in Singapore…
And the texture is different..
If anyone goes Tokyo…
MUST try the donuts..!!!!
(you must know I don’t like to eat the donuts in Singapore… but those in Tokyo are just…. Woo hoo….)

Haha…

We went Supermarket-shopping…
Haha…
This is what happens when you go holiday with my parents…
They LOVE convenience stores and supermarkets…
The seven eleven in Tokyo are SO big…

My biggest discovery….



Frozen Xiao Long Baos..!!!!!!
You just need to steam them…
OMG why are they not available in Singapore….
Argh…!!!

Guess what is this building??


It’s everywhere in Tokyo…
It’s like an arcade cum casino…
I don’t know how to explain…
The inside is totally different from the outside…
Haha…

Took a train back to Ikebukuro….

The inside of the train…



Haha…
This is just SO NICE….
And they are so cheap…
In Takashimaya in Singapore…
It’s selling 2 sticks for 3 dollars…
I bought 3 for only 105 yen…
About $1.30???
And it’s freaking nice…
Haha…
I bought it from 7-11 btw…
Haha…



An artistic shot of the apple we bought…


End of Day 1…

=SmileX=
Look out for handsome guys and pretty girls in the pictures…
Because they are all over Tokyo..!!!

Haha….
I am BACK..!!!!!
Haha…
I enojoyed myself A LOT….
Seen a lot of things…
A very different city…..
I have to split the trip into a few entries..
Haha…

Arrival at the airport….


Welcomed by 3 travellators…..
You may think this is nothing…
Read on…

We were at the immigration section…
LOTS of people…
Erm…
About 300 people in front of me???
Cannot take picture there…
So I didn’t take a picture…
Haha…

Met my Auntie and Cousin…
Went off to take the train to Ikebukuro 池袋　
Where our hotel Daichi Inn Hotel was…
On the train…


Look….
They have Priority Seats…
You cannot use handphones because if anyone with a peace maker for the heart is around you…
It will affect it…
But of course not everyone does it…
There are still inconsiderate people…
In all other parts of the train…
Handphones have to be put to silent mode and you have to refrain from speaking on the phone…
I think it’s troublesome though…
Haha..
Although you cannot talk on the phone…
Eating and drinking IS allowed on the train..!!!
But not many people do that though…
Haha…



The whole train journey to Ikebukuro took us 1 hour..!!!
I sat on the train and I was practically stoning…
But that was the time I realized that Japanese girls have good fashion sense…
(at least 90% of them does…)
Haha…

We all know Japan is a civilized country..
Look at how they wait for the train….


They have to Queue..!!!!
The lines are there for them to queue and wait for the train…
And yes…
EVERYONE queues…

This is a pretty view of a train station near my Aunite’s place…


Daichi Inn Hotel…
Went to put down the luggage in the hotel…
The toilet is FREAKING small…
How small is it??
See for yourself…

The basin outside the toilet…



FREAKING small right??
Haha…

End of first post..
Haha…

=SmileX=
I love Tokyo…

I am starting to have the "neglect the blog" feel...

Cannot let it be wasted like that....

Went to watch Music and Lyrics with Lynnette today...Very very nice show...

=SmileX=
Thanks for all the birthday wishes..!!

(was supposed to be posted yesterday)
``````````````````````````````````

It's my birthday...
Finally 18..!!

Below is what I have to say to everyone who has made up a part of my life...
(It's going to be freaking long...)

To sixters...

To Jana:
It's been 6 years...
Countless times of arguments, Countless times of 追星-ing...
It has only made us closer to each other...
Knowing your "nonsense", your laughter...
It has already become a part of my life...
你也是我的活党哦！
你对我来说也是独一无二的因为我想应该很难找到另一个像你一样“另类”的人吧！
哈哈哈
放心，我的耳朵没有那么容易满的！！！


To Pei Shan:
Haha... Art got improve wor~~~
Hahahahaha...
就像你说的，认识你好像是最近的事
可是我们已经认识六年了
当了六年的好朋友
如果没有你听我的废话，大家应该会把我当疯子
（自言自语）
谢谢你在这6年当中，做我的垃圾桶
希望你还没有厌烦，因为我们还有一辈子要当朋友哦！


To Xiao Xian :
T-shirt 我很喜欢，谢谢你那么用心画！
我也相信我们会一直疯狂和挥霍下去
因为这样才符合我们的个性！！！
哈哈
我们就要各分东西，希望我们还可以保持联络。。。
做最好的朋友
就算成家立室，我们还是最最最最要好的朋友哦！

To Yi Xian:
（回送你一首诗）
喜欢你的好脾气
喜欢你的冷笑话
喜欢你的无厘头
喜欢你的大道理
谢谢你在我需要帮助的时候出现
虽然经常骂你，可是没有你，心里会莫名的空虚。
（因为没有人骂）
性格的不同，让我们能够很好地互补对方的缺点
无法预料的相遇，让我们找到真正的友谊
希望未来无论多忙，都要抽空出来哦！！

To Gina:
I know you don't like reading chinese...
I type yours in English ok??
Haha...
I know you have alot of things going in your mind...
Actually you can share them with us you know??
Don't forget wherever you go, you will still have 5 best friends with you...
Don't feel depressed on your own, because you are not alone..!!
Your appearance also made a difference to my life of course..!!
(but you still cannot hug me..!!!)
Wahahahaha

To all 5 of you...
Thanks for being there...
For the past 6 years, we shared laughter, tears, anger etc...
The 5 of you will always be my best friends..!!
Don't forget me, because I will never forget u guys..!!
要多多见面哦！！就算去了中国念书，我也还是会和你们保持联络的！！


To banana 4….

Thanks for all the laughter you have brought to me…
Thanks for all the times we spent together…
Hope we will stay as best friends forever ya??

To Maggie:
Don’t think too much ok??
Must stay positive..!!
Study hard and play hard..
Haha…
Wish you all the best and may all YOUR wishes come true..!!!
If you have any troubles, can tell us about it…
Don’t keep everything in your heart ok??
Stay pretty..!!

To Xiao Wei:
Things have happened and I can only say I’m sorry…
I still hope you will stay as my best friend ya??
I hope everything will be fine for you…
I know you have many troubles…
有时候，看开一点，往前看
会让自己开心一些。。。
Ya??
Stay happy everyday..!!
I wish that you will find your Mr right soon ok??
May all your wishes and dreams come true…
Hehe…!!

To Lynnette:
Knew you in the first week of school…
Never thought a conversation with you will be a start to a precious friendship…
I also don’t know which part of us looks alike…
Haha…
But never mind about that..
But girl…
感情的事，不要想太多
家里的事，不要想太多
知道吗？
有时候，有些事，要懂得放手，顺其自然
或许这样对你来说，很困难，但是相信我
有时候还是不要想太多啦！！

Your singing is good…
Stop thinking it’s not…
You face is pretty…
Stop thinking it’s not…
You are not fat…
Stop thinking you are…
Live happy, stay happy..!!!!

To T01-ers:
Dear classmates, it’s been a year since we first met…
Stay happy and cute ok??
Hope everyone will stay as friends even after we go separate ways ok???
Thanks for all your birthday greetings..!!!

To all my friends…
Even if you think you are just a nobody to me..
I want to let you know that everyone’s appearance to me is special
And I will treasure every part of our memories together…

Here,
I wish that everyone will stay happy and pretty/handsome..!!!!

=SmileX=
I told you the post will be freaking long…

4 days of work at the IT show ended...
This is my conclusion...
人性本恶
自私和贪心是人的自然心理

Why do I say so??
It's too long a story to say here anyway...

````````````````````````````````````````
I am starting to wonder if having a blog is a good thing...
Because there are many things I want to say...
But I consider many of the possibilities...
Arguements??
Misunderstandings??
Resolving the issue??
I don't know...
I don't want to think...
I am physically and mentally tired...
Don't think I should think about all this anymore...

我有很多话想说
可是
还是算了
说得多，错的多
少说，少错
对吧？

最近最大的目标就是每天都开开心心
不是没有心事
不是没有烦恼
只不过。。。
表现出来，对大家都没有好处
对于别人的看法
不是不理会
不是不在乎
只是，太多了
我管不着

=SmileX=
努力保持开心当中

I will be starting work at the IT Show tomorrow...
Until Sunday...

12-9 everyday...
Haha...
Guess it's going to be tiring...
But I want the money...
So never mind..

Will be selling Norton Softwares...
Will have new software launches...
Like the Nortong 360....
Great deal...
Can come down to take a look if your computer's Anitvirus is going to expire..!!
Haha...

Off to watch tv...

=SmileX=
When nothing I do helps to improve the situation, the best is not to think about it...

Inconsiderate people...



Renovation in progres.....



My brother's spelling corrections...



My idol.... Love her singing..



My favourite picture... taken by me...



=SmileX=
I don't know a better word to say to you other than sorry...
