yesterday’s my today.

Today, yesterday, same thing to me. As long as I haven’t fallen asleep, the day hasn’t ended.

So, today, was a really long day.

Woke up at 7, got out of the house, after managing to eat breakfast too, at 755am. Jumped into the car with Nick, picked up Frederick, Sara & Ai, then went to pick Chisako up.

Got to Ebina Bethel around 945am, toured Bethel – it was very interesting. I liked the London one more though, I don’t know why, maybe because I was a young kid and old memories are hard to compare to, especially if I don’t get to see the same things.

Then we went to have lunch at a rest stop. Then on to Mt Fuji we went.

Went up Mt Fuji aka Fuji-san. Took the road that has musical asphalt. The roads hummed the song “Fuji-san” as we drove on it. It was really cool. I’ve only ever heard of it when I watched “Japan Hour” in Singapore, and I never thought I’ll have a chance to experience it. Check!

Saw snow for the first time! Yeah, ok, I’m pathetic. But I come from Singapore – SUMMER ALL YEAR ROUND. And, I travel during summer too! So its never wintry nor snowy! So I touched snow, it was well, cold, and it was soft! It was fluffy. I was definitely not dressed for the weather, I was freezing to death. No one said we were going to Fuji-san nor seeing or touching snow! I was decked out in a skirt, with simple black stockings and ballet flats. BALLET FLATS. My toes were crying out to me. Thankfully I had a hat & gloves. But it was awesome seeing snow, touching it for the first time. To the amazement and humor to my Japanese and Swedish counterparts.

After Mt Fuji, we went to Yokohama! Yokohama’s Chinatown. It was amazing to see a chinatown apart from the one in Singapore. The one in Singapore seems fake to me, but now I have a feeling that all Chinatowns have an artificial feeling to it. They tend to be too touristy and have too much touting. Its kind of annoying. But we got to eat amazing chinese food, I didn’t have any space for any dimsum though. ): Sad. I want to go for yumcha soon! Or maybe I’ll just tahan (“endure” in malay) till February when I go home for a visit.

After our walk around Chinatown and then our very satisfying dinner, we finally make our way back into Tokyo.

Good night, buona notte, oyasuminasai.

Ps. Photos will be uploaded soon.

Trailer for Angel-A

Looks like a really interesting film. I love listening to french.

Its Late. Im Lazy.

Quick update.. that will be filled up with details soon:

1. Michelle Ong is here! Whoohoo. Living in my little space. She’s one crazy, unpredictable girl. ♥
2. She brought goodies from home: CURRY. BAK KUT TEH. PANDAN FLAVOURING. TOMYAM. CHICKENRICE FLAVOURING. KAYA. She can live here forever, if she keeps bringing these for me. Heehee.
3. Oyasumi (Holidays) in 2 days !
4. Guns N Roses are FREAKING CRAZY AWESOME. Although they were about 5 cm tall from our seats – it was a greaaaaaattttt, LEGENDARY NIGHT!! (: LIVE & LET DIEEEEEE!!!
5. I am loving my GNR Tshirt. I’m going to wear it SOON.
6. There was a crazy long line to get souveniers after the concert – it was crazy long. Japanese do love their souveniers.
7. We met the craziest dude in the whole of Tokyo after GNR. I laughed so hard it hurt. Oh yeah, and he’s a metal rock singer in Japan, from Australia.
8. I love Harajuku. Went there with Nancy & Susan today. Love. It. & bumped into Perttu & Elina too. How random. And I took 30mins to find Nancy, but I spotted Pertty & Elina not once, but twice. How crazy is that?
9. Its insanely cold. I don’t do cold! Freaking hell. And, and, and, the sun is out so nice and bright, it makes me feel all paradoxical. Cos I do not feel the heat!!!! Although I am glad I am not feeling the humidity and melting away, like back home.
10. Ayaka is an awesome singer! I love that girl. She’s so cute & pretty and has an amazingggggggg voice!
11. We went to Ruby Room, it was an open mic bar night. It was awesome. Very cool.
12. Nights out with Ann, is always crazy. She’s been good (ie. mostly sober) for the last 3 nights we’ve been out. Very proud of her. (:
13. I cannot survive on 2 hours sleep, if the night before was spent partying. Although I did do really well in Japanese class. I got a “Subarashi!”. HAHAHA. I fell asleep 3 times on the train when I finally headed home… and I think I was standing up for 2 times out of those 3.
14. I finish my ceramics course on Tuesday. And I’ve seen most of the pieces I’ve finished – and I LOVE THEM. (: Its so Japanese. The way I learnt it here is soo different from what I did back home, and I can’t decide which I prefer. Although I think I learnt more skills from this sensei than I did the last time when I learnt it a few years ago.
15. I miss Mayjean Lim. WHY must you be in Australia?
16. I love Ann Soelberg.
17. I love Tokyo. I love Japan. I never want to leave.

Night world.

Oyasuminasai.
