Remember me, guys?


I hope you guys didn't think this blog was dead. It's more like a zombie blog nao, so you best check back!! Anywayz for those faithful viewers, you MAY know that I've went to Japan, and back, infact for 3 days now. So I best start posting some of my experience before I start losing more faithful readers. Not like you guys wanna know anywayz.

All pics will be in Flickr as its ezier that way. Here's the link : HERE
And if you guys know how to use the Flickr Map thingo, you can get the better picture of my travels.

Alright.

Day1 :
Board plane. Talk. Sleep. Eat. Sleep.

Day2 :
Wake up. Arrive Japan. First stop, INSTANT RAMEN MUSEUM. Saw some ancient ramen, then modern ramen and lastly SPACE RAMEN. and how they make ramen and all that stuff. NEXT, Osaka Castle. Saw some really cool scenary and ate self-made takoyaki which mine burnt. [forgot to take pic] Next, went Kobe and visited this Disaster Reduction Museum, where they showed some earthquake pics and videos and teach us how to prevent and reduce earthquakes, all those stuff. NEXT, hotel. i cant quite remember what happened later.

Day3 :
Wake up. Go Kyoto. Went to Kiyomizu Temple. Forgot to take pics. Well I have some. But not the temple but rather around it. Ill give you a link instead. Then theres this 3 fountain thingo. Where u gotto walk up there and drink either one of the 3 fountain's water. I forgot which was which but one of them is Health, middle is Wisdom and the other is Love. The pics are in the Flickr site. Next, TERAMACHI. Forgot pics again. There was this giant crab sign. In other words, its some shopping district like Petaling Street. Next, went to our main objective Omi Brotherhood School. Got some welcoming there and we did our stupid performance. Met mah host which was also Khye Mun's host. We share host. His name was Tomoki. He's kinda ok. Had fun trying to guess our conversations. Night, ate his mom's homemade sukiyaki (i think). Bliss-ness. Oh right a lil background on his family, he has a father, a lil brother named Shion, and a dog named Choco (forgot pics of dog and father and mom, im a bad bad guest.)

Day4 :
Morning had this thing. I dont know what it is but we gotto do our stupid performance again. then we had YAKISOBA PARTY. where basically grill insanely huge amount of yakisoba and we feast. how cool is that. Then went shopping with host. Which mah host so happen's to be friends with Phin Jeck's and Russel's host. So we all went shopping together. Didnt buy anything.

Day5 :
Woke up. Went Kyoto using JR Train (i think thats what they call their local trains) then took the SHINKANSEN (Bullet Train) to Maibara. The ironic thing is, from Omihaciman(where i started) to Kyoto, it took 30 mins, and Kyoto to Maibara which has a furthur distance than Omihaciman to Kyoto, it took only 20 mins. How cool is that? srsly. If you guys know how to use the Flickr map thingo, then you can get a better picture. (Oh forgot to take the picture of the bullet train coming, was daydreaming, so i took a pic of some random train. Hope that will satisfy ya.) Then from Maibara we took the JR Train to Nagahama, where we met up with his parents. Some shopping district again. Shopped a lil. Ate a lil. Then was brought to this Glass Sanding place. Where we sand glass. or something. we can draw our own design and then sand it on the glass. i dont know how to say it. Posting pics another time. At night we went to see the Hikone Castle. It was closed. So we walked around the compound. There were lights shining on it. And its hard to take pics at night. Not the mention when the castle was lit up, my camera went out of battery. Sorry guys.

Day6 :
Says goodbyes to host family. Went USJ (Universal Studios JAPAN). Rode Spiderman first, then Back to the future, then Jurrasic Park, then JAWS, (this was the part where ga, jamin, jo and khye mun ditched me and tze), then back to the future, (this was the part where ga, jamin, jo and khye mun lied about sitting the Hollywood roller coaster), then Hollywood ride something (this was the part where me and tze found out they lied). The hollywood one is supposedly the top ride in USJ, cuz it seems like the only outdoor roller coaster with real plunges. Then took some pics. Then went back hotel. Ate buffet. Played with ice cream machine. Made Float. (pics taken.)

Day7 :
Took some shadow pics (guess who). Board plane. Sleep. Wake up. Eat. Sleep. Arrive Kota Kinabalu. Board plane. Talk. Arrive KL.

THAT IS ALL.

Alright, so over there, Ive bought a few things. Fraulein Revoltech Yoko Figurine, Figumate Yoko Figurine, Capsule Flashback album and Capsule MORE! MORE! MORE! album. FYI Its not that i love yoko so much, its that i cant find others. Other people bought gundams.

If you manage to read everything, congrats. If your too lazy too, its okay as well, JUST GO SEE THE PICS I TOOK. thank you for your cooperation :]

Here's the link for the pics, AGAIN.

Oh yea. Informing about typos are welcome. Just dont abuse and use constructive sentences. :]

Cheers.

Contributing to dead blog.

In contribution to this half-dead blog, I'm announcing that I would be off to Japan for an exchange student trip, like the one to singapore, only further. Which would take about a week or so. Thus I bid you all farewell. But not like you all care.. Will post pics when I get back. hopefully.

ALSO will be posting drawing when I get back, hopefully to find inspiration in jaPAN. Wanted to post one before I left. But too busy playing Fallout3. It's a good game.

so while I'm gone, go listen to some Daft Punk.



Till then, Cheers :]
