"When all hope seems gone, sometimes help comes when you least expect it..."

Merry Christmas

Tomorrow #9

who is that light?

Tomorrow #8

go, walk towards it. get out from that darkness.

Tomorrow #7

do you see that faint light?

Smile

All things started here. And we brought them away, and ended them somewhere out of here.

when we were still young...

I guess right now, I know what I want, and I know what I've lost.

I laughed as I recall, how far we've brought ourselves into trouble something that, didn't turn out to be so bad after all. Infact, it was fun! And everything that happened, was only between us and some other related to us. It always made me smile, though most of them were stupid.

People thought it was just a story, something that never existed in real life, but they were wrong, and only we knew it. And even now, the smile hasn't fade a bit.

And all of these, started right here......

I am still questioning the sincerity, whether it is out of command, obligation, or pure honesty. Doesn't matter anymore, as long as our comical past continues to make me smile.

I had never feel so appreciated before, the treatment I've got, so much so I felt so comfortable with it, you know, the kind where you get special treatment from people whom you are not that close to? Now as I recall, it is just like watching yourself in a comedy sitcom, laughing at one another for our small cute gestures. And it feels great to have someone who manage to turn jealousy into appreciation and look up to you.

All that, has ended, but our smile still remains.

I still enjoy them, even now, but no thank you.

But come to think of it, we were almost there, almost, really really near... and then God put this huge rock that crushed everything. I suppose He wanted the best, for everyone.

So that's it.

I can still smile.

And all of them, started, here...... in that compound. =)

Tomorrow #6

you start questioning about your fate.

Tomorrow #5

when your life, and everything, is almost, upside down.....

Tokyo! (part 2)

Tokyo! (part 1)

Sumimasen sumimasen sumimasen sumimasen sumimasen sumimasen!!!
Sorry again for the long wait. The assignments workload almost took my life away.... and thank you God(i love you muaks) I am on holidays now! wwweeeee~~

Day 3(written about a month after the trip)
Had a really comfy sleep under the cosy futon blanket. The morning was slightly cold, we opened the window for the morning scenery and found out that the lake across us was frozen. =)

can you see the frozen water?

We had our first traditional Japanese breakfast(the kind where you sit on the floor, then the short in height table with loads of food). Again seaweed, miso, hotpot, RICE, SALMON, egg, green tea. *burp* Packed our bags and left Fuji-san to Yokohama!

bye errr..... aunty?

Our first destination was the Yokohama landmark tower. Had to pay to go up(forgot how much already). Anyway I went up along with some of my friends, its basically like KL tower, except wider and nicer and more people..

this is how Yokohama looks at night (picture taken from a poster....)

The tower is located next to some shopping mall, so after we came down from the tower some of those who didn't go up called us to have ice cream from one of the shops in the mall. (they find the shop very interesting because the girl waiters in the shop were super kawaii and they sing songs for you.) So ya, I went and spent RM24 on one cup icecream. It was SUPER NICE (don't convert don't convert don't convert).~~~

school trip???

ice cream in the making!

tadaa!

curved escalator

Next destination was Odaiba, the Fuji tv station. Before that we stopped at another mall for lunch. INDIAN CUISINE WTH??? Its like going to Europe searching for nasi lemak. =__='
But anyway, the food was good. I loved the dhal! SO NICE!

eeerrrrrr..............

aahhhhh~ the sauces.... rombe pasekede!

rombe nalareke!!! (very delicious)

Ok so after lunch we went to Fuji tv station! Well, if you watch Digimon season one this building was in one of the scenes, I think its nearing the end of the series, then they fought there or something, I don't really remember.... XD To go up, you have to take this LOOOOOOONG escalator. And then there is the dome of the building, again pay money go up see the city. Gnah, don't wanna see city, so we wondered about that area.



There were so many shops selling kawaii packaging biscuits of anime characters of Fuji tv anime productions etc, anime characters plushies, tshirts, stationaries. And the boys in the group were so excited about the kacang sakti (dragon ball), they actually sell it you know! LOL wonder what will happen once you eat it in real life. ahahhahaahhaha!!!

On the lower floor, was an exhibition of various Fuji tv programs set, like their reality shows, those studio setting you see on tv, now you can have a chance to be on the set and take pictures. So cool~ but unfortunately no pictures were taken. gomen! XD

After visiting Fuji tv station, we headed to Asakusa, Tokyo!!! Temple. They prayed, and it is believed by the old people that the smoke from the josstick can cure illness(due to the ingredients they use in making the jossticks). So if you have backache or headache, take the smoke and pat on the part of your body. And true enough when we went there, people actually stood around the josstick pot and "scoop" the smoke and pat on their heads, neck, back etc. LOL.

more like in china....

wash your hands and mouth before entering the temple

woman doing the josstick smoke therapy.LOL

inside the temple

Joining the temple was this whole streetfull of shops. So we did some shopping! Bought some souviners for friends(sorry to mention it was only upon request), and hunted for Calpis drink.

like in china right!!!

It was very fun walking along the rows of shops, but somehow I didn't feel like I was in Japan, it was more like shopping in LiJiang(Yunnan), dunno why...

OMG KATANA!!! i had always wanted to have a collection of swords...!!!

boy boy stepping on puddles, so cute!

Anyway, then it was dinner time. BARBECUE DINNER! YAY! So we went to this place, all you can eat barbecue dinner. Yay we took all the different kinds of meat, chicken, beef, pork, and the best thing was YAY NO SALMON!(trust me you'll get sick of it when you have them in almost ALL your meals). Ate to our heart content~

can you smell it can you smell it can you smell it?!?!??!?!!

After dinner we checked into our hotel at Shinagawa, reminder on assignments by lecturers, dumped our stuffs in the room and headed out to explore Shinagawa. Some of them took the train to other places while we just walked about the streets, visiting convenient shops buying DBSK sweet for Fiona and Ruth and grape sweet for Rynn and Calpis sweet for myself.

End of Day 3.

Day 4
(Here onwards, it has been 2 months since I came back from the trip) ASSIGNMENT DAY...! So basically the whole huge group was divided into small groups of 5 people way before the trip and given a building and its product brand to research on. So when we were there, we were suppose to present about that brand's building. First up was Louis Vuitton.

After lunch we went to visit the 21-21 design sight at Minato-ku but sadly it was closed for renovation. Isyk... so we just walked about that grassy area, snap snap snap... =_=

some random installation/sculpture

families picnic on the grass area. very interesting that you MUST have a sitting mat in order to sit on the grass, if not the security will come and chase you away...

appreciating Tadao Ando's concrete.... almost everyone had a picture with the concrete walls.

recycling bins!!!!!

Then we got onto the bus to the GA Gallery(another architecture related building that sells architecture-related books and some displays).

And then we went to Shibuya!
The moment I got down the bus, for the first time in the trip, I saw SO MANY PEOPLE! And there was this huge tv promoting YUI!! YAY! *snap snap snap*

and over the other side, was another huge tv promoting DBSK *snap snap snap*(for Fiona, Wai Fong, Ruth and whoever crazy over DBSK)..

So we walked and walked and walked experiencing the crowded city, shopping...

do I even need to explain this? LOL

And went for dinner, chinese meal YEAH! I remember the sweet & sour chicken was super yummy. =P

Went back to hotel at Shinagawa, and it was free time for all of us.

Tokyo tower in purple

Finally, manage to meet up with my friend yang sedang belajar di Tokyo, and we took the train to Akihabara, the electronic/manga/anime land.

I was amazed by the number of train lines they have, omg super confusing! Dunno what blue line green line orange line @_@ My friend and I took some time finding the word '秋叶原'(Akihabara). And while I was waiting for him to buy my ticket, there was this lost Japanese guy who came up to me and asked me,

Man: sumimasen, *blablablabla i dunno what on earth he said*
Me: *shocked, stared eyes wide open at him didn't know how to respond*
Man: *knew i wans't Japanese* YOU DUNNO? OKKEH.
and he walked away... LOL!!!! Super awkward! ahahahahahhahahaha

So, we took the train and oh gosh inside the train I saw everybody in black and white with coat, all so reserved to themselves.... super quiet...

....................................*crow flying* arrk arrk arrk...

So we got down at Akihabara and *sigh* all shops closed already..................

lowyat plaza... LOL

so we walked and walked (aiyah as usual la, we always walk lidat punya), chat, and stopped by McD yay! I had McFlurry, some sponge cake flavour I don't remember the name. Super yummy!!!!!!!!!!!!! It looks quite disgusting in the picture, but hey it tasted good!

OMG SPOTTED KFC FOR THE FIRST TIME THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE TRIP!! well, KFC is really really hard to spot in Japan.

Then we jalan jalan again, I think we walked the whole street, and went to the 24 hours convenient store and he treated me to some snacks. POCKY!! ^^

Friend teman-ed me balik to Shinagawa. Kesian he got exams the next day.

End of Day 4.

Tomorrow #4

a friend

" um... nice to meet you. "

the world

so sick of these.

everything is about money. MONEY!

people without money, get eliminated....

and the world,

what has become of it?

knowledge

calling yourselves friends yet competing among one another, the more stingy and selfish you are in the inside, the more likely you will survive.

is that friendship?

life... in this era,

is all about,

survival.
