Tokyo Trip 2014 // Day 3 - 5

HELLO, IT HAS BEEN AWHILE.

So after 7 friggin' months I finally decided to complete this blog post. I seriously thought nobody would give a fuck about my blog anyway, BUT I was surprised to hear from an anonymous person on ask.fm regarding about my blog (uh i told him/her that i can't be bothered to blog anymore). And I realised it's indeed quite stupid to stop halfway like there's 'no head no tail' to this blog post. Hence I'm here to complete it!!! Omg the DUMBEST part is that I actually finished writing 3/4 of this blog post as a draft and I totally ~~forgot~~ can't be bothered to finish it -_- /slaps self/

Alright. Will try to remember as much details as I could *coughs*

// Day 3 //

There isn't much to write about day 3 because IT WAS SHOPPING DAY! (*_*) Was too busy shopping from Harajuku, to Shibuya109 and to Akihabara. UH WHERE GOT TIME TO TAKE PHOTOS LOL ~ But nevertheless I still managed to take some pics here and there...

Look of the day on day 3!

Japanese Pasta for brunch.

And then BAMZ! We spotted this Calbee Plus shop along Takeshita Dori. They sell those different Calbee snacks & also FRESHLY COOKED CHIPS. I'm not a big fan of potato chips, but when I see the person poured melted Royce chocolate over it I couldn't resist. BECAUSE IT'Z ROYCE DAMNIT!!!!

Oh my, how sinful... yet so good.

Managed to catch some pokemons in the UFO machines at Akiba! ;) I can't believe I spend like only 100yen (S$1.20?!) for that Espeon WTFFFF. This will NEVER happen in Singapore please zzzz~

// Day 4 //

First thing in the morning...

"I need my Krispy Kreme & warm strawberry latte for breakfast."

Every time I visit Japan, I MUST have my original glazed donut & their kruller (wtf it's damn good like x89327924729 better than Singapore's one seriously) k please ignore my qian bian face.

Next stop was - The Pokemon Center!!!

Just a 2-3 mins walk from JR Hamamatsucho Station :)

No photography inside the shop but I managed to secretly snap some :x

The cup noodles are damn cheap like S$1.50 only? Yes, you can find them here in Singapore (Fairprice) too but nope I'm not gonna pay S$3.50+ for one SMALL cup noodles -_-

YEZ I CAN BE A POKEMON TRAINER TOO. HAHAHA eh don't laugh k, that's my biggest childhood wish hor. I even wrote about it in my RJ last time HAHAHA #fml #trollermag #iwasstillyoungthen

Happgirl_91 is done with her shopping!

Actually I didn't buy much, felt abit too old for pokemon *sigh*

Saw this quiet park in the middle of nowhere and I thought it was really cool!

Tryna look like some cool kid here but apparently failed.

From Hamamatsucho, we took a train down to Odaiba. It's my first time going there, so I didn't know what to expect actually haha! When we walked out of the train station, the whole place was sooooo quiet with just a handful of people walking around.

s e r e n i t y.

Visited Leisure Land, basically there's nothing much it's just like a mega huge arcade.

I tried like S$20 on those UFO machines and I only caught this pathetic small melody plush. M didn't manage to catch anything also, so actually we were both pretty pissed hahaha! He was like "AIYA FUCK LATER WE GO AKIHABARA CATCH MORE POKEMONS SUA!"

And yes, we really went back to Akiba to catch more pokemon!!! :D

WTF WE ALMOST CLEARED THE WHOLE UFO MACHINE K.

Laduree macarons in Japan are sooooo much cheaper than in Singapore!
(Best macarons i've ate so far)

// Day 5 //

It's a MUST to visit Tsukiji Fish Market when you're in Tokyo! I'm not into the tuna auction (which start at 5am, siao i'm not waking up at 4am zzz) so I'd usually visit the fish market for a meal (at about 10-11am) 'Cos they serve the freshest Sashimi (*_*) There are many different stalls and a huge variety of food to choose from. If you can't decide which stall to go, just use your true blue Singaporean instinct and join the longest queue, it's usually at the corner.

King Prawns!

My most expensive meal throughout this trip but it's soooo damn worth it.
TELL HOW TO SAY NO TO OTORO & IKURA.

We spent the whole afternoon shopping around Tokyo Station, then in the evening we decided to just find a place to chill. I remember Lady Iron Chef did recommend this Aoyama Flower Market Tea House hence I suggested to drop by and give it a try :)

Love the ambience.
Great place to just relax, drink tea and have some girly talk :p

Tokyo Trip 2014 // Day 1 & 2

After procrastinating for the longest time, I think it's about time for me to write about my 8D7N Tokyo Trip that I recently went in January. Anyway, it's my second trip to Tokyo! You may want to read about my first trip (here) or alternatively you can find all my travel posts on the bottom right hand of my blog under the labels part.

- - - - -

// Day 1 //

Here's my travel partner for this trip! So thankful to have someone who is really good at reading maps ('cos i seriously suck at it) without him around I'll probably be so super lost ;__;

Oh and I brought another travel buddy along! Say hello to inu-kun :)

We paid about $700/pax for the air tickets (inclusive of the taxes & everything). Actually SQ was offering the same promo price but by the time I wanted to book, it was all sold out *tmd* Luckily Delta Air was having promo at the same price as well! And the whole 6hr 45mins flight was pretty comfortable :)

By the time we landed, I realised I was the only idiot wearing shorts in Narita Airport. Yeah, I thought I'd be able to conquer that 7-10 degrees celsius weather but APPARENTLY I FAILED LOL (like what they say 'kiang tio hoh mai gey kiang'). So when I reached the hotel, I quickly wrap myself up before heading down again hahaha! Actually it's the cold wind that is the killer ugh x_x

Brightly lighted trees along Shinjuku.

Was wondering did they forget to take down their x'mas deco lol!

Dinner at some random ramen stall.

Yes, any random ramen stall is still NICE :)

- - - - -

// Day 2 //

Roads outside our hotel. Yep I stayed at the same hotel again because Sunroute Plaza Shinjuku is like one of the best with an affordable price & really good location. Try to book the hotel as early as possible 'cos it's always fully booked!

HOLYMOFO MEGA MUFFIN (*_*)

See how eggggcited M is...

Nope, no mega muffin for me.

McDee's itself is sinful enough for me, don't need extra calories :(

After breakfast, we took a 2 hours bus ride to Fuji-Q Highlands. Previously I passed by that place before, they really have some mad insane roller coaster rides there! So yep we were really looking forward to it :D

Oh hello Mt. Fuji, good to see you again :)

Entrance to the theme park looks pretty deserted, like those abandoned theme parks.

Admission tickets to the theme park is 1,300yen (adult) & 700yen (kids aged 3-11). That's only for admission ok! For the rides, you can choose to buy a one-day pass which cost 5,000yen. Meaning that you can play all the rides inside. But if you are not that adventurous/daring, you can choose to buy the individual rides tickets inside the theme park (from about 500-1,000yen).

Right, I look super happy here. But actually i'm freezing and forcing a smile HAHAHA! It's a pity that it wasn't snowing though :( I just see snow on the floor here there and everywhere.

That happy kid, first time seeing snow LOL!

We actually Q-ed about near to 2 hours for this ride called "Dodonpa!". I totally have no idea what this ride is about because I didn't manage to see the tracks so yeah, don't know what am I getting myself into LOL. Saw the Q was so long, so I thought it should be a good ride (that's always the case right?!)

I totally UNDERESTIMATED this damn ride.

It travels at 172km/h in about 1.8 seconds (O_O)

Okay this video I found on youtube is obviously not doing justice to the high speed but anyway, yes the front blast was I-N-S-A-N-E (and worst still, we sat at the front seat as well #fml much). It was so fucking fast and the cold wind feels like it's piercing on my skin gosh.

Then another awesome ride we took was this famous "Takabisha" roller coaster! (the one which I insta-video) Omg it's a MUST-RIDE in Fuji-Q Highlands!!!! There is even a Guinness World Records cert outside the ride. It may look friggin' scary but it's not that bad actually ;)
