Hello!!! Before I begin, I just wanted to point out a few minor details to this blog. As you can see there are three pages on this blog, out of the three pages, you will probably need to know two of them. Blush & Palette.
1) BLUSH - a blog page for my personal life and theatre experiences
2) PALETTE - a blog page for my makeup portfolio
So, that is about it for the minor detail, you can look up in Palette for my contact details for makeup. :)

So lets begin.
This is the third time travelling to Japan but the experiences was as good as the first. Woohoo! Even though, this time around the scheduling was a little too hectic for my liking that put me in a really bad mood. Well, I will explain more when the time come.
According to my sister, Candy, it has been 16 years since the whole family went on a vacation together. Initially, both me and my younger brother, Alvin, didn't want to go on this trip. Alvin had his own reason but mine was because I visited "the land of the rising sun" exactly a year ago. However, after much persuasion both of us hopped on board.
Being a little excited as I usually am, I went ahead and made passport covers for the whole family and they all come with a charm that is uniquely theirs.

Off we went, arrived at Changi Airport at 6am! The first family selfie of the trip!
It is a 7 hour flight to Japan. I forgot how uncomfortable a plane could be. Alfred [elder brother] and mummy was really lucky to have gotten seats near the emergency exits. The amount of leg space they had! Ugh... Being 1.72m does have its disadvantages. My legs are too long!! Can I have slightly shorter legs?
I watched a number of movies and some cartoons - Chappie, Cinderella & an episode of Phineas and Ferb.
The meals on flight was delicious. Plus plus, there is ICE CREAM after meals! Overall, it was a more than a pleasant flight, it was fabulous!!! At about 4.30pm we arrived in Japan!! WOOHOO!
First business at hand was to get to our apartment. Who knew it would take us so long to get there. But before we could leave the airport, we have some errands to run.

First order of business, was to get our JR passes. JR passes allow us to use the JR line as frequently as we want for the next 7 days. I heard that each ticket cost up to Sgd$300+, but it will be even worst if we do not take the pass. So Alvin and I helped to filled the particulars for the rest of the family.
However the pass is only activated the next day, we had to go and buy our ticket for the train ride to Nippori Station. We were fascinated with the chair, as they are able to turn and face the chairs at the back.
We arrived at Nippori Station and the first thing that caught our attention was...
We didn't realise how hungry we were until we started to munch on onigiri. For your info, almost on a daily basis we eat at least one onigiri. I actually super love to eat the onigiri, but I kept thinking about the amount of carps I am taking in.. Not like i am trying to lose weight, but i don't think it is a good idea for me to put on right? hahaha :p
Look at one of the photograph in the slideshow. I bet the Japanese are finding us a sore thumb because we stand out so much. One look and they know we are tourist. It is not just our luggage but everyone of us have an red item! Look at the picture carefully! hahaha.
It took us 4 freaking hours to get to our apartment!! From the short snack break at Nippori, we took another train to Shinjuku then to Nishi-shinjuku-gochome. Ugh... too much travelling. I am already tired. We only arrive at the apartment at 8.30pm when we alighted from the plane at 4.30pm!! Why did we take soooo long?

After a short half n hour break, we headed out to nearby food places for dinner. Nom nom nom!! We had some really yummy curry rice for dinner!
But before we head in for dinner, we need to take a look at the menu. Here is Alvin's way of looking at it.
This shop is seen everywhere. We may be too hungry or something but the food here is really much better than those in Singapore! The biggest difference is.... Their kitchen are open, we can see them preparing our meals for us! It is super awesome to know that our meals are being prepared with efforts. :) |
After dinner, we had thoughts of walking around the neighbourhood for a little while. However, it started to drizzle and we decided to head back to the apartment and rest. One of the best choice we made, I was really tired from all those travelling..
Ending this post, with some photos during dinner. Yums!
