Trying hard to stay alive
♥ 10:04 PM
SOOO,
School started and surprisingly,
I'm still
(barely) alive.
1st week and there are homework, projects and reports
AND
this is only the start.
Damn.
Travelling to school is killer.
By the time I reach school, I'm dead exhausted.
:(
Sigh, who knows, one day I might just drop dead when I reach the lecture hall.
How I spent my weekend?
Watching animes & or course, sleeping.
OHOHOH
3 new shows were added to my watch list! Really good!
They are: Nabari no Ou, Chiki, phantom thief and Blassreiter.
Nabari no Ou is mix fantasy and action. It's about Ninjas and blah blah (sry, lazy)
Phantom Thief is mystery and from its name, I think you can tell what its abt.
Blassreiter is mix action and supernatural. It's about strange creatures called Demoniacs which attacks people.
For more info, wiki them!
Alrighty, there's school
(SIGH) tomorrow so I'll stop here and continue nx week
(if I'm still alive)
OHOHOH 1 MORE THING
See this dog whose heart is made of ice here,
HE KILLED A BIRD TODAY. Happily galloping around the garden, head held high with the CORSPE in his mouth, refusing to let go. This dog will end up in hell I tell ya. This isn't his first time killing something. It's his 695648409909th time from lizards to fishes to birds. Bless his black heart.

Here it goes again
♥ 7:19 PM
Heya everyone!
Today, I bought my laptop.
Yea, its Fujitsu!
School is starting next monday!
WOOO T_T
Seeing the timetable, Monday is obviously the worst day.
School from 8am - 5pm, with 1hr break.
SIGH
The thought of studying again is really depressing.
I mean, I've not been using this brain of mine for 5months
and I'm afraid I'll get left behind :S
On a happier note, ALOT of new animes are premiering this month (or already premiered)
Animes like Code Geass 2, Vampire Knight, Itazura na Kiss, the melancholy of Haruhi 2 & more!
But then again, school is starting sooooo, unfortunately, I have to sweep these aside

Back to the Start
♥ 9:34 AM
I'm back from Japannn!
I'm not going to go into the details,
but I'll upload pictures.
The trip was fun since the people I went with were kinda hyper (Although they're kinda old)
Sigh~ I'm already missing Japan; the weather especially!
Day 1 - Narita, Arrival
Arrived at Narita at night, so there was nothing much.
Hotel lights
Church at Narita
Day 2 - Tokyo Disneyland
Disneyland was really really crowded since it was the school holidays.
It was so packed that I managed to get on 1 ride only.
For the rest of the rides, we have to queue for at least 2hrs.
Disney Train
Disney Shopping Area
Flowers shaped into Mickey Mouse
Disney Parade - Mickey Mouse
Disney Parade - Snow White, Sleeping Beauty & Beauty and the Beast
Tulips! The flowers there are beautiful!
Disney's trademark castle!
Peter Pan + Wendy + Random kid. Not bad looking isn't he? Girls were sceaming" KAWAII"
Day 3 - Ueno Park, Asakusa Kannon Temple, Ginza, Imperial Palace, Fuji HakoneWe went to Ueno Park to see Sakuras!
On that day, the Sakuras in Tokyo were in full bloom.
Here are the pictures!
As you can see, it's very crowded
One of my favorite shots! I love the sky.
There are more photos but I'm lazy :P
Next, we went to the oldest temple in Tokyo, the Asakusa Kannon Temple.
One of my favorite shots as well!
After that, we had Japanese BBQ.
The beef was good
Next stop, Ginza! One of the most expensive shopping area in Japan.
There are shops like Gucci, Prada, Burberry, Coach etc.
All I can do was to stare at the products and drool.
The roads are closed on weekends, so no vehicles allowed!
After Ginza, we set off to the Imperial Palace, where the royal family resides.
Unfortunately, we can only hang around
outside the palace, which is a park.
One Bonsai tree = price of one proton car
Statue of Samurai who served the emperor during the internal war.
Later in the evening, we went to Toyota City Showcase to look at the latest car model.
Since I'm not interested in cars, I didn't take any photos =\
At night, we head to Fuji Hakone Onsen Hotel, which is located at the foot of Mt. Fuji-san.
A very countryside-ish hotel
Japanese Boat
HOT SPRING BATH! I wanted to take a dip BUT you have to be naked in front of everyone. After hearing that, I dropped that idea.
Day 4 - Mt. Fuji, Peace Park, Ashi Lake, Owakudani Volcano ValleyMT. FUJI! We went up there (to level 4) and it was freezing. Temperature was 0 - -1+degrees.
Went to Peace Park after that to sight-see. Then, off to Lake Ashi for a boat ride.
Pirate ship
Lake Ashi. Weather was coooooold and together with the wind blowing...freezing!
Owakudani Volcano Valley, where people eat black eggs there. The smell of sulphur from the volcano was really strong! The temperature of the hot spring is ard 100 degrees, and the black water inside it was bubbling.
Day 5 - Kyoto, Heian Shrine, Nishijin Kimono Center, Kiyomizu Temple, Shinkasen Ride, Osaka, Shimsaibashi
Kyoto! Japan's ancient and cultural city. Unlike Tokyo, Kyoto is much more peaceful, slow-paced and fresh! Oh, and I saw some geishas!
After that, we went to Heian Shrine where we ate Takoyaki and Red bean pancakes!
After After that, we went to see the Kimono fashion show. Pictures~
Bad photo! Too many people blocking my view.
Below is Kiyomizu Temple which is built on a hill. Famous for its wooden veranda as well.
People have to "clean" themselves before entering the temple.
Next! We took the Shinkansen aka
Bullet train to Osaka! It's speed? 300km/hr!
The ride was ard 20mins! Travelling by bus would take ard an hour + traffic jam.
While waiting for the tickets, we saw cakes!
The decorations on these cakes are really artistic.
It's called "Cake Art" Fruits on it are made into shapes of roses.
Arrived at Osaka and it was cold + wind!
Look at the temperature. 10 Degrees and its spring...
Took the bus to Shimsaibashi, one of Osaka's longest shopping arcades. The teenager's fashion is more extreme in Osaka. There were flocks of teenagers with faces caked with makeup, high platform shoes and golden brown bird nest hair, loitering ard. I noticed that the girl's fashion are all the same. They like to wear black eyeshadow and their hair is always the same (its either big bird nest, straight bangs with curly golden brown hair or a bun on their head). As for the guys, anime hairstyle, skinny pants and lots of chains ard the pants.
Another one of my favorite shots! Actually, I wanted to take photos of their fashion but all of them were in groups. They had the "take-a-picture-of-me-and-i'll-beat-you-up" look
I like this too! The colors of the boards are vibrant!
Day 6 - Universal Studios, Osaka CastleUniversal studios was FUN! I bought the express booklet, which enables me to take rides without queuing up. Since my mum isn't fUn (she doesn't wanna ride on any rides, but wanna chit-chat instead), I went with the other aunties. LOL, they're so funny.
I didn't take much pictures here cause I was too busy trying out different rides.
Oh and we went to watch shows too!
<-Water world and Fantastic world!
The Hollywood Dream ride!
I wanted to ride this BUT
1) No time
2) It's gonna rain (see pic)
We left at 5pm and head to Osaka Castle and ate hot pot!
This is the castle. Looks small doesn't it?
AHH~I like this shot. Sunset @ Osaka Castle.
Day 7 - Kansai, DepartureOk, I don't like this day. Only thing fun was playing Gachapon(get rid of coins) where I got ALLEN WALKER phone strap! So here I am, blogging under this HOT, SIZZLING weather...
