I thought I woke up considerably early the next morning. Well, I was wrong. According to Candy, Alfred and Mummy... there was a mini (sort of? I'm not really sure) earthquake in the middle of the night. Being the piggy I am, I slept through the entire episode. Hahaha! But I wasn't the only one who slept through it, Alvin slept through it as well...
Anyway, time to get ready and move on with the schedule planned. We packed up and leave our one night apartment.

We looked like we coordinated our outfit. Look at how cute my mummy is. Hahaha. But before I continue.. Jie Jie, your wefie skills... not very good.
Alvin had to take his own luggage and my sister luggage. Jie Jie was helping Mummy with her luggage and Alvin had to help her with hers. Poor boy, throughout the whole trip as well. Hahaha.
We stop by our favourite family mart to get some breakfast. More onigiri!! Woohoo!

There was plenty of stairs when we were finding our way to our apartment the night before. This would means that... we have to go through all those stairs again to get to our next apartment.. Hooray?
So we travelled from Nishi-shinjuku-gochome all the way to Tokyo. However... our apartment is much further away from Tokyo.
Look at the time we are boarding the train in Tokyo.. 10:03am. We will only arrive at 12:47pm. So what are we going to do during that long 2 plus hour ride? Breakfast, read a book, and lots of time to fiddle with my sister camera.
As I was saying, I was fiddling with the camera my sister brought. This would means lots of selfies, wefies and famfies.
Time for some of the sceneries that was caught on the way to Kyoto. I like sitting next to the window when I am travelling. So more pictures of the journey~
The photos started out dark because I was still trying to figure out how to use the camera and eventually I did. Woohoo!

After 2 plus hours on the train, we finally arrive in Kyoto!!! Hooray! The second apartment for this trip was just 5 minute walk away from the station! The good news is that we are staying in this apartment for about 3 days, if I remember correctly.
It is a traditional wooden townhouse and it look so good.

We reached the apartment and decided that instead of sleeping on the second floor where the bedroom are, we shall bring the futon down to the two living area and camp there.
So Mummy and Jie Jie shared one of the room while Alvin and I share the other one. Alfred on the other hand insist on sleeping alone on the second story. Oh well, less bonding time. Hahaha.
Before we left the apartment to our next schedule, Alvin being the prankster he is wanted to scare me. He hid in the cabinet and told my mum to get me somewhere near that area so he could jump out and scare me. I was too busy downstair putting away my things and figuring out what is the internet wifi password.
Alfred, however, was exploring the house and doing a video vlog on it. He was caught in Alvin little prank. He jumped up and fell onto the floor causing witnesses (Candy and Mummy) to laugh their head out. I was packing my things when it happened, but I heard a really loud BANG and rush up to see my elder brother on the floor. Wahahaha. Lucky me.
After the incident, we took what we need and headed out for lunch!

Lunch time is over, on with our next activity! Heigh ho heigh ho, it off to Nara Park we go~ We took the JR Nara Line Rapid Service and arrived at Nara station in 44 minutes.
Nara Park is famous for it free roaming deers! On our way towards the park, our surrounding is preparing us for what is coming. It is so pretty and I was looking forward to coming into contact with the deers.

And finally we were at Nara Park! It is amazing to be in such close contact with such adorable animals.
Selfies or attempted selfies coming right up!
We tried looking for the stall that sells the crackers that we can feed the deers. However, even after walking around for 30 minutes and asking for direction twice we could not locate it... thankfully, we met this Caucasian boy who willing gave us one of his cracker.
Mummy didn't want to be near it, so the cracker was shared between the siblings. With this piece of cracker, the deer came! Look at the following video of Alvin negotiating with a deer!! Hahaha!
After which Alfred, Mummy and Jie Jie went to the nearby temples and pray. According to my sister, they might be praying for good health and I think they might be.
I am not a temple person but look at how magnificent the temple is.

We headed towards the shops that was along the streets and brought souvenirs for some of the important people in our life BUT before that famfie!! Look at how adorable we are! Hahahaha
Brought our gift and it is time for dinner!! Wee~ Walked around Nara and found a dinner place. Yum yum.
One of the thing that caught our attention was the arcade! However it has been a really long day and I was sleepy after having dinner... So I did not managed to capture any photograph of the arcade..
The arcade is four story high! The first floor consist of games we can find in Singapore. As we head towards the higher level, it sort of become a mini gambling area. There was people betting on virtual horse races and it was pretty entertaining to watch. There were two players at the coin dozer machine and it was intense.
We heading towards the stations and to Mummy's request we went into the supermarket.

It was a ride back to Kyoto and the world is so small that the group of youth (?) sitting next to us was from Singapore as well. With all our goodies, we headed back to our apartment.
Before we slept, Jie Jie suggested we should all put on some mask because of the dry weather. It sure was funny to see the boys putting on a mask for the first time.
