Japan Trip #1 {Tsutenkako Tower, Bicycle Museum }

Time to blog about my JAPAN TRIP ! ♥ Time passes so fast I've back to Malaysia one week plus already and I still couldn't believe I did went to Japan lol hahaha. For this post, I'm going to blog about my first day of Japan, like where I went to, what I ate, what I do and etc.  

Before that, the only impression I got from this trip is you need to queue for everything, no matter you're at the custom, restaurant, theme parks, lrt station you need to queue. Still remember we queue for almost 1 hour plus for both checking in and checking out at the airport! 

Except for that, Japan is still a very beautiful place to travel to. :) ♥

 Hello Osaka ♥ 

With the teachers who going along. 

showing off my window seat lol hahaha. 

with my roommates for these few days ♥

Breakfast provided by the flight - kimchi chicken

I swear I'll not boarding overnight flight again! It was a nightmare my god I couldn't sleep for the whole night the seat was too straight and everything was so uncomfortable :( . Our landing time was 6:40 and the air stewardess woke us up at 4 something and gave us our breakfast at 5 something. The breakfast not bad tho highly recommend you to try this  ! 

although I'm closing my eyes but I can't fall asleep at all

First Stop :Tsutenkako Tower

Tsutenkako Tower 

Vending Machines! so excited when I see vending machines in Japan lol 

 Lots and lots of vending machines 

 Restaurant 

 Kara's member's signatures ! 

View from the tower ♥ 

Photos with the friends ft the river behind ♥ 

Second Stop : Lunch 

Takoyaki making.

Honestly, it's not that good actually and the sauce that used to dip was very salty. It's just a normal egg with some ingredients inside. No taste at all but if you dip the sauce, it'll be super salty. 

                     

Third Stop: Bicycle Museum 

Bicycle museum is a museum which shows the transformation of bicycles, a lot of bicycle from the centuries are all at here. 

 Beautiful autumn creature 

Stupidity awards goes to Teoh Yee Chuen hahaha 

Fourth Stop: Host Family 

With my host family, Sakamoto family 

Remember I did said about the host family's program? We got to stay overnight in out host's family house. We will spent our night to the next day of afternoon with them. It's a very unique experience as you can stay in a local Japanese's house.  

Moreover, the only way we communicate is through electronic devices hahaha using the translator apps and luckily it works ! 

During, the host family event, there will be one family will be chosen to shoot by the local tv channel, which is NHK, ( Nippon Hōsō Kyōkai ), doesn't know it's lucky or unlucky, we have been chosen ! It was so AWKWARD AWKWARD AWKWARD because everything has been recorded, when we were eating , talking and etc. There were four person , one is the director , one is the camera man, one is the sound recorder and one is with the light. can you imagine these four person keep watching you no matter what you doing ? 

                                  

 a drink from the vending machine

This tastes so good my god it's actually a coffee but it has some flowers' smell inside so nice !　♥

Left one - normal coffee, Right one - IT'S MALAYSIA'S TEH TARIK 

But the teh tarik is actually taste like instant 3 in 1 one, not that nice, mamak's one nicer !

First day of my Japan's trip done! ♥

Leaving off soon !

A new buy from my mom. The signatures of the members of one direction ! <3

The perfume bottle is super pretty too ! 

It's 3:26 pm now, 21 of October. Few more hours later I'm going to KLIA 2 for a getaway. I've never thought that I'll be going to Japan with the school but not my family. It's a very good experience for me as I get to represent my school to have a school exchange program with the Japanese High School out there. I'm so excited ! 

Besides, I also get to have a chance to stay with a local Japanese family. We are going to universal studio japan too and it's their Halloween them I'm super excited to see all the zombies coming out hahaha. 

Another trip to look forward is I'm going to Taiwan too at the end of November. Always wanted to visit Taiwan and it's with my family ! My dad will pay for all the expenses hahaha. 

Alright, see you guys later when I back from my Japan's trip ! will blog about it soon ! :)

Once in a while

Hello sweethearts, I already forgot when was the last time I posted a post. Seldom use computer nowadays normally use iPad and iPhone for all my basic needs. I think the only reason I use computer is just to on my blog and stalk other's though.

School life has started, everything goes on well, extremely well. I never thought that a class can be so crazy in just a couple of weeks. We don't know each other before this. Anyway, one point I need to say is our class have total of 29 boys in a class and girls only have 15. It's so ... unique?

Everything comes so fast this year. For an example, the school's first term exam. It's like so fast omg. I started studying two days before the paper starts. This is just so late because I usually study one week before but now is just two days before? Form 4 this year, the exam's format all changed. But some teachers still didn't tell us how to do and just ask for us to take the exam. Gonna fail some  major subjects this time. I MISS OBJECTIVE QUESTIONS !

Haze and water shortage is killing me omg ! I would rather have electricity shortage than water. Another things is a flight from Malaysia Airlines MH370 got missing I hope everyone is okay. My thoughts and prayers are with those passengers on board MH370, I really hope that they were landed on an island and they don't have any way to communicate to tell the world they are safe. Let's pray for them.Just hate it when some people don't have any sympathy, just imagine if one of your family are on the plane, what's your feeling? 

" The internet reminds us how small the world is, but a missing Malaysia Airlines plane shows us how big this planet can be #PrayForMH370 " 

Final Finally.

Just got my result, 6A 2B not that good and not that bad I can say.

Photo which was the day I went to Gold Coast Morib still got lot of pictures but it is all in the ipad so lazy to transfer them to the computer I'm just so lazy. 

Offically last week countdown for 2013 and it's Christmas Eve yeah. Having mixed feeling towards 2014 because I'm going to science stream next year and everything will be very complicated and the most is ... stressful life stressful year. The only thing I'm looking forward to is those trips I'm going to have! Going to redang island with flight in the mid year, I'm so looking forward to it because of a movie which was filmed by Angelababy and PengYuYan omg I'm so in love ngaw. HK, shenzhen and Taiwan was still planning for the end of the year. 

Photo that taken on that taking result day.

So many reporters on that day and I found myself on 8TV. Kudos to my friend who saw me and tagged me in twitter. Many people cried on that day some of them cried for happiness and some of them cried for disappointment. I have no feeling towards my result cause I know I will never get 8'As 7'As will be the best for me cause I will never be confident enough for my Malay. And also, I've checked my result using the government's website in two days earlier before we take our result so.. okay then hahha all my friends so nervous and I was like sitting there dreaming and talking. 

Gonna have an Iphone 5s soon but still not decide what colour should I buy. But daddy wants to buy me a Samsung Note 3 instead of Iphone but at last he just said just choose what you like then. I'm so happy because this will be my first iphone yes I'm a Samsung user now and.. I don't really like my phone because the longer you use samsung there will gonna be a lot of problems but my aunt who use Iphone 4 until now it has been four years but everything still perform well so definitely Iphone then! 

Just a normal selfie with a strawberry kitkat all the way from JAPAN !
