HI FINALLY FOUND SOME TIME TO GET THIS OVER AND DONE WITH!!!!!!!!!!!! THE LAST JAPAN POST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOHOOOO. then i can move on and blog about other stuff! it's gonna be short and quick tho! so yeap!

spent the last few days there shopping so... not many pictures actually. started our last day at hakone posing like tourist at their beautiful long kang beside our hotel and did stupid jump shots. LOL pls excuse my face. cant seem to keep my composure while i'm in the air


i rly dk how my sis can still look so good and her poses are so much nicer... not fair LOL


spent our day at the premium factory outlet and then took a bullet train back to tokyo!! the feeling of being on one feel abit weird.. it actually feels like you're sitting in a plane thats about to take off.. but it never does LOL


went off for our dinner


and then moving on to the next day! we went to harajuku. where i bought.. nothing... japan's shopping is quite bad.. to me ah.


a robot cafe. and btw that dinosaur behind my sister can move its head and mouth. ok i know i sound damn lame now. but i found it quite cool.


best dinner in tokyo... *slurps*

and then.. moving on to the next day again. we visited ueno park to visit the zoo and the sakura trees. too bad we didn't complete the zoo trip cus there was just too many things to do


not gonna post animal photos tho. cus its the same shit. so in the next pic i just wanna show u smth interesting. we walked over to the gorilla enclosure and she was happily eating under her blanket. see?


okay so we were all like "haha so cute. gorilla under a blanket that's licking up her food." AND THEN...


she just puked everything out. LOL and everyone was like "ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww..." its okay that she puked it out. she licked it up again... and then... SHE PUKED IT OUT AGAIN............ LOLLLLLLLLLLL. everyone walked away after the third time. so gross


and thats the end of my tokyo trip. i know it's a little abrupt. but i dont take photos on the plane because i'm fugly without make up. and the last few days were shopping trips! so.. yay. these pretty tarts marks the end of my japan trip :)

JAPAN HAKONE DAY 3-4

hi all! so i'm finally able to upload my pictures onto my facebook. and i'll be doing a quick follow up on my japan trip. which was almost a month ago :l ... LOL but anyway.. in this post, i'll be blogging about a different part of Tokyo which i went to. its called Hakone, pronounced as ha-kon-neh. hahaha. honestly, hakone was the highlight of my trip. the place was beautiful... read on and you'll know why!


had our breakfast before taking a 2 hour train ride over to hakone! and we checked into our japanese style "hotel"? hahaha idk how to describe it! maybe it would be more appropriate if i called it our "japanese home" for those three days :)


the view behind our "home"! its actually a giant long kang. but still beats singapore's one hands down!


dinning room by day.. and.. bedroom by night


btw, those pillows. are freakin SAND BAGS. they were so uncomfortable.. i really had a hard time felling asleep. i'm not even exaggerating. its the kind that "if i threw it at your face, you'd black out" kind of hard. but anyway, we checked in and went off to grab some lunch. came across this little restaurant, and their tempura udon was da bomb.


returned back to our room and went to the "hotel's" private hot spring which my mom booked. it was truly.. an amazing experience. it was the highlight of my trip and i would definitely go back. the feeling of being there was almost breathtaking. we were definitely living the life.


and despite the fact that we're all looking glamorous, we were actually freezing like shit. it was like.. 6 degrees? and we were only wearing out swim suits. me trying to be a hero, took off my kimono and tried to jump into the tub. but the water was too damn hot. we were all just squating at each corner of the tub trying to get used to the hot water. and at the same time freezing like shit. LOL it was damn funny. if only i caught it on video. it was hilarious. but yes, we eventually got in after maybe 10 mins!

so after we were done with our hot spring, after like.. maybe 20 mins? because apparently soaking too long in hot water is really bad. we went for dinner. which was provided by the "hotel" as well. we had a idk-how-many-course-dinner in out own private banquet!


our night ended after dinner because hakone is a really chill town. no hustlin and bustlin. and we had to wake up early to do touristy stuff in the morning! which brings us to our breakfast the next day! in the banquet again! which i didn't really fancy :\


and on our way to the top of the mountain! it was reaaaally cold that day. hence the fur


me trying to capture the smoke coming out of my mouth cus it was really cold. LOL i act like a child sometimes. i'm really amused by that whole "smoke from mouth" thingy.


my parents and the boat we took to get the the cable car to get to the mountain. lol


my sister and i camwhoring infront of the window cus of the ultra good lighting = ultra good looking complexion.


so no pictures of the view on the cable car. because it was SO foggy. we could barely see anything ahead or behind us. LOL we were just surrounded by clouds. and when we reached the top, we went to try their famous "volcanic black egg". its really nothing tho. it tastes like any normal hard boiled egg.


and their volcanic noodles. just kidding. i don't even know why the noodles are black. i don't even remember seeing my family eating BLACK noodles. LOL


so we went outside to continue our journey on the volcano. and btw, the story behind the photo below is that every time my mom tries to take a picture for me and my sister, on 3, my sister and i would quickly change our pose into something stupid! haha


came across this at the bottom of the volcano, decided to try the black one! cus wasabi was just too exotic..


its really not that bad. it just tastes like.. vanilla. but it stains your mouth.. LOL


and then we took a cable car > train back to our hotel and that was the end of hakone day 3-4!! until next time guys! hope you enjoyed this post :)
