Hi my wonderful blog.

I'm back!

Japan was AWESOME. i did a "Xiaoyun's very cool ittenery, 9 days 8 nights, Japan and HongKong" specially for this trip. Hmm. i think only jiao and weiying saw it. But my ittenery is damn good i tellsing you.

anyway first day was travelling day. fly from sg to hk then hk to japan. cathay airline's service was mediocre. ANA and thai airways is still the best. Even SIA's one is just above average. Well. slept like a dog throughout the whole journey. Oh when we were transiting, i saw a dad carried her i suppose daughter onto a dustbin and she pee-ed into the dustbin. EWWW. bloody do it in the toilet! imagine if the cleaning auntie were to empty the bin and it just happen to broke all the pee will spill out! so fucking inconsiderate. China people. I suppose. They can even allow ther children to shit on the floor in public in a tourist attraction can. disgusting. Anyway, reached Japan aroun 9pm. Went to get our tickets and stuff, guards there dont freaking understand english, heng we were clever enough to know where to head to.


Cathay airlines


HK airport -oo-


Jiao


Jiao to the max.

Bus Limousine service to our hotel.




Hotel was nice, cosy, ULTRA CLEAN, but very very small. Bloody small bed. -oo- anyway they provided yukatas how sweet :D toiletries were shiseido and pola brand. LOL. nice~

Japanese instant coffee mix. crazy creative ideas manzzz

Next was was planned on going to Ginza and Makuhari at chiba. Japan's subway wasnt as hard as people described it as. Well if you are able to read a litle kanji or able to understand romaji (thats like english -oo- ) its quite easy. just follow the signs. the signs are really good. maps are everywhere all over the streets not like singapore no maps. And look at the map before exiting the exits or else you will be lost. super lost. Cos the station is so huge it feels like vivo. o.O There are tons of exit that leads you to far far places and alot alot of places. and must walk like 5 mins to another track so alot of walking. But quite easy. REALLY.

Anyway people there are really helpful, except for control station people. they are abit sulky. all like that one. like standard rule control station people must give the serious face. Walk over from Ginza to yurakucho to buy disneysea ticket from yurakucho station.


Yurakucho station

waited for shops to open. Very cute. i actually realise japanese queue to wait for departmental shops to open. WEIRD. really.

Bought Jill stuart at seibu. SEIBU makes me laugh cause it sound like sai bu. lol. amusing. Ate at a small shop in a back alley. Cheap food 6 bucks for a bowl of udon.



Then walked over to Gucci Cafe one pot of earl grey and a tiramisu with gucci logo on it cost me close to $70 SGD. bloody balls. my treat somemore. LOl. i paid for most of the food along the way for my mom and i OK. -oo-. AND the tea was ok. tiramisu was seriously disapointing. Was expecting much more from GUCCI since its GUCCI. like 4 storeys high GUCCI building all for itself. But it serves rubbish cakes. the coffee powder on top is too thick and i look like a bloody idiot keep choking onto it. -oo-. They dont even have like gucci monogram tissue papers. But the people have to kneel down to take orders. Super akward. Like people treat you like king or want to propose to you. LOL.

Makes me think if next time my boyfriend want propose must kneel down on the floor and give me a 10000000 carat diamond ring and propose to me at the beach in a middle of a heart shape thingy decorated with red roses and candles. NICE~! But i think again maybe i cnt get married. If i cnt get married by 25 i shall go matchmake or something. really sad.


Tiramisu cake

Then the toilet was ok only. Dont even have tissue paper or hand dryer only like toilet paper. Was expecting like Gucci engraved toilet bowls, with gucci monogram toilet paper and tissue.

Anyway the lifts have seats its like 4 levels and they still provide sofa seats inside for people to seat. HAHA. make me feel like a rich taitai. When you people are starving for that gucci bag i'm splurging my money on a cake and a pot of tea for $70. A top up of $30 can even get me a gucci ci mao lanyard. LOL. And my leg is so precious after all that branded shopping in high end boutiques in Ginza i must even have sofa to sit on while taking a lift. HAHA. i feel like a bitch -oo-

Then we went over to Makuhari. Jill stuart boutique the one that sells apparels was a huge dispointment. Nothing nice, at all. :( Coach factory outlet are selling past season handbags at 20 - 50% off most were like 40-50%. BUT after discount the prices were just few dollars cheaper than what you can get in US. Seriously not worth it. They marked up too high for Coach in Japan. Didn't get anything DUH. head back to ikebukuro instead. managed to get some mini deco stuffs. very cute ^^


Subway to makuhari




Techno garden. LOL




Ikebukuro

anyway taking subway in japan is like taking bus in Singapore totally reachable everywhere. But hell, taking subway there is equivilent to taking cab. cost like 17bucks for a person on 4 rides today

2nd day was at Tokyo disneysea!! BEST EVER MANZ. full of japanese people. Like macham not tourism spot. Seriously the people there dont bloody speak or understand english. Seriously not targetted for tourist. More for Japanese because if it was the case they would have understand and speak english.

But first we went to tsukijishijo in like 7 in the morning to skip the peak hour. Its like their fish market. Ate sushi. One fatty tuna sushi. ONE. for like 7 bucks??? one chawanmushi for like 7 bucks??? ONE seaurchin sushi for like 7 bucks?? expensive to the max someore the 7 bucks chawanmushi is like half the size of sakae sushi. But its DAMN DAMN DAMN good.




Wasabi. Ugly things








candid.


Disneytram entrance (:





Disneysea was awesome with old houses and mini lakes and rivers. Look like venice. And once we went in. Its like another world. They were playing happy music, freaking fat sparrows you can see in singapore only that they are like the size of tennis balls. They practically look like fluffs of balls. So fat they remind me of my fat imaginary boyfriend. Then there were chip and dale, mickey, minnie and the normal charators and stitch dancing and jumping like a mad cow on the boat that goes around the lake and keep playing happy music. Makes me happy ^^




















I ask my mother to take this. Cute right the LGM! i want buy. but cannot find -oo-



played 7-8 rides? Journey to the center of the earth is fucking awesome. queued like 1 1/2 hour for that 5 minutes of excitment. should have get the fast past damnit -oo-. Anyway a japanese manage to understand my japanese!! cos i asked her whats the ride about then she say its like free fall. free falls like damn sick -oo-

Ate at this cafe kinda thing. 1 sandwich set and a sandwich for around 25? expensive SIOL.. and the fat sparrows are really dumb. we tried acting like we are throwing food at them. and they ALL came towards us. whenever we did the throwing action, they will look around like bloody idiots searching for the thrown food. amusing fat birds.




There's one more LGM in the pram. OMG. SO CUTE! the parents should dress up as buzz lighter and woody lor.



DIDNT FIND MY LGM!!!! SO SAD TO THE MAX!!! manage to get a lgm pencil. Got a genie pen for fat. the pen is damn jiao, click it and the mouth will close and open. SO JIAO look like fat. somemore got ear ring. Look more like fat. so ah beng -oo- i got one too :D actually bought a donald duck shorts for fat but like not boxers so i kept it for myself instead. aahah. so cute can still got duck tail :D



Anyway damn fun damn fun damn fun. Didnt stay for the fireworks though :( Left around 6plus to ikebukuro to shop shop walk walk. Japanese people are major slackers. They open their shop at 10am and close at 8am. SUPER SLACKERs. cannot stand.



3rd day was suppose to go ueno koen and ikeburuko to shop. STUPID snow. it started snowing all of the sudden in freaking SPRING. snow in SPRING. -oo- we stayed on the 37th floor and the snow looks like flakes of dandraffs. digusting. But came down as rain. -oo- apparantly the temperature was arounf 2 degrees? not enough to freeze it so it melt along the way.



Decided to head to Harajuku instead. Seriously. Ginza is way better than harajuku. TOTALLY. People who tell you Harajuku is good for shopping are big fat liars. Only thing nice there is the huge 4 storey Daiso which sells cheap stuffs for aroun $1.80 SGD 105Yen. They even have 100Yen and 200Yen neoprint machines, that are as good as singapore $12 neoprint machines. -oo- But overall it was plain BORING they sell like bugis street clothing. No, actually not. They sell clothing 10 times worse than bugis street. Because i can even find like 1 or 2 i feel nice pieces of clothing in bugis street. But NONE in harajuku. If not they are like vintage shops there. which really sells odd vintage wears like worse than arab street??



I was freezing like a dog. cause apparantly it was "snowing" and i'm only wearing a velvet maomao jacket and a long sleeve shirt and long john (wonder if its spelt like that) inside with high waist pants and leggings. GEI KIANG. want to wear nice nice but end up shivering like crazy. -oo- But seriously. I see Japanese wearing shorts and boots and NO leggings. Not cold meh?



Went back to ikebukuro. Saw tons of people carrying transparent umbrella. Bought one at daiso for fat. i damn nice can!! huge umbrella leh. Not the foldable kind. somemore raining. i hug the umbrella scared dirty also never use or touch on the floor. and its raining. I'm such a nice imaginary girlfriend. I bought a file back cos sg sell around 3 plus? there only 105Yen. aahhahaha. cos theresa spoilt my file when she threw it to me -oo-.



Next say which was the last day we head to ueno koen first. we saw sakura!! pretty. suppose to see them around late march which is the sakura viewing season but we saw it! saw vultures, birds, monkeys, penguins super cute, and a huge elephant locked in a cage and smells like elephant dung. -oo-



went over to ameyoko. Bluff people one. all rubbish stuff. although cheaper than harajuku or any other places but not nice one the stuffs. Then head to Shinjuku. Didnt manage to go to Shibuya :( Got bloody lost in shinjuku. but manage to find Takashimaya. Since it was the last day. And i still have like alot alot of yen. like around 600 singapore dollars worth of yen. I bought a porter bag for the sake of buying. I think again. I really buy for the sake of buying. Anyway the sales girl was REALLY weird. she speaks english in a very high pitch and loud voice and keeps dragging her words. Its like..



Person: wheeerree yooooo froooom~~?

me: Singapore

Person: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~~~ SHINNGAPOREE~~~!!!



damn weird. but service there was damn good. they bow to you when you buy, they bow again when you walk away. The will like walk outside and stand at the shop and bow at you. FULL BOW. even when you aready walk away. Freaky. Like macham you king like that. Super akward.



Bought another burberry blue label. Considered half mine, cos my mother ran out of money. I paid like 5000 Yen for it. lol.

The next day we were in HK. o.O er ok.. Airport transport service was mediocre. Japan's still the best. went back to our hotel. And the hotel sucks. seriously.

next day we went to wong dai xin to bai bai. i hope i dont get sub paper for OB :( i got a feeling i will take sub paper. I'm not saying it like i dunoe how to do one question and i'm going to lose my A. losing my A is as traumatizing as taking sub paper. NO. I 'm bloody serious. I didnt study like around 3/4 that came out. so dead. i dont want sub paper pls :(

Then went to victoria peak. Boring place one again then head down to tsim sha tsui granville road. Shopping at Tsim sha tsui wasnt really what i had experienced 4 years back. 4 years back was not bad. Now it felt like bugis street and clothings there were around 30+ and seriously i feel for clothings like that. Not worth it. -oo-. Somehow my choice of clothing have changed -oo- Got a few cute stuffs, thats all.

The next day we went over to tung chung. 40 mins journey. Along the way we passed by disneyland station. there was NO people alighting and nobody there. Seriously. 100 times more people alighted at tung chung than disneyland station. Hongkong disneyland was a huge failure.

Tung chung is a huge shopping mall. maybe not that huge. er. the size of wisma perhaps? Shopping there is good. got like 2 tops? one chloe tank, dkny shirt and a burberry shawl my mom bought a burberry pouch. (y) The range of D&G clothing there was really very designerish. too over for me. leopard printed fur coats. LOl. YSL heels were going crazily low as 120bucks. almost got it. but not my size :( Then went over the canton road, silvercord building. Crazy place. They have this huge warehouse kinda shop with mountains and mountains of designer clothing, past season clothing. I see junya watanabe comme des garcon thrown everywhere. But didnt find anything nice, especially the orange jacket i saw 2 years back in vivi mag. no. cnt find -oo-. They have MCQ by alexander mcqueen ( all past season saw it b4 not nice one -oo-), tsumori chisato, just cavalli, and blah blah brand some never hear before one. d&g heels for like only 100 plus. crazzzzzyyy messy place. Oh there was fred perry too. o.0 but didnt find anything i wanted -oo-. Then went for dinner and continue shopping and i bought a marc jacobs blouse. chio shit (y) & MARC JACOBS IS MADE IN CHINA!!! -oo- and i finally found vivienne westwood. bought 2 handphone straps. got one for weiying. 30 -50% off. after discount only around 80+ for one handphone strap (y) Mega shopping for the day. But service there was really really bad. Went back got tons of stuffs to pack. Oh i bought a cute polar bear tank for 8 bucks. ahahha cos its cheap. & cute i buy. hahahha.

Next day, woke up early and walked to tsim sha tsui. see see walk walk then chiong back to hotel within 15 mins cos we were almost late for the airport transfer. Paid 20 tips to the lousy guide for airport transfer. we can seriously do it ourselves. dont need people to guide us -oo-

Overall. Japan was damn fun. Hk is ok. We are planning to go Osaka next year. Free and easy again. WOOHOO.





will upoad photos soon. damn lazy now -oo-
