hey all just wanted to let you all know that i changed my weblog site for the greater good nah... joking anyway for more info check out my new weblog site
short post... went out to work for just a short while packing 700++ goody bags was quite tiring met up with some online friends played at plaza sing's arcade (why can't i ever improve in guitar freaks) and ate at carl's jr. later on (oh forgive my sins...) look what my friend ordered accidentally
Portobello Mushroom Burger with 5 patties costing 2 dollars each (came down to 20 dollars)
his mouth wasn't big enough to eat the burger (he couldn't finish it too)

Aqua Timez - シャボン玉Days couldn't find it on veoh I think it's kinda new (can't find it on their latest album) oh and i found their 風をあつめて album in some store at jurong point the store also has some of the less popular japanese bands in singapore like... abingdon boys school, kinki kids and some anime OSTs will post the name of the store if i can recall some other time
i blame school for being late again (an excuse is not a good excuse blardy blar blar) anyway this will be my last japan post (ohh... the agony...) until i get there again that is on with the post
to akiba i go...
fappy
the famous akiba... (a whole building of anime merchandise *drools again*)
would've taken more pictures inside of akiba but as always... not allowed
this is a mouse-pad *cough cough* (notice a certain part is dirtier? *cough cough*)
i think this is another day already anyway this is Shibuya 109 (think it's the busiest crossing in the world???) that and you see it in anime a lot
Pachinko! (for those who don't know it's kinda like are a cross between a pinball machine and a video slot machine) -referred to wiki anyway not supposed to take photos here too
guess what this place is... (sorry it's a little dark)
it's an authentic japanese manga cafe!!! (once again for those who don't know a manga cafe or manga kissa is a kind of café in Japan where people can read manga. People pay for the time they stay in the café.) -referred to wiki again oh and of course you have to pay to get into the manga cafe forgot how much they charged (it's an hourly thing btw)
i certianly can't finish reading all of these... (even if i could read japanese that is...)
oh and it comes with a nice cramp cozy room with a pc installed with all the applications you will ever need to use in your personal pc
can order some junk food too...
all in all this place redefined my meaning of the "simple life" we should really have more cafes like these in singapore
ok last day... (just when i learnt that the button on the traffic light is for the the blind (after pressing it, it plays some weird japanese folksong tune))
AV factories everywhere!!! literally...
my last proper meal in japan
and it's good bye to japan (for now that is >.>) i'll really miss this pudding drink (best pudding thingy out there imo)
yay... finished blogging about the japan trip the next post will be about more current stuff (uber long delay) oh and i may be giving out a figurine (brand new of course) so yea... stay tuned everyone...
“Focus on the journey, not the destination. Joy is found not in finishing an activity but in doing it.” --Greg Anderson
UVERworld - Roots UVERworld's Roots (from album PROGLUTION (16.01.2008)) still one of my favorite j-rock bands it's surely better then their "Ukiyo Crossing" imo at least this one has more feel to it (will probably lip syncing to it when i'm alone (i 'm still a total weirdo)) i really need to get this album anyone knows how?
first of all... happy new year (don't see much point in celebrating them though) and second of all... i decided to speed up this japan thing hopefully my blog can catch up with my current life soon these 3 days reminds me of the stuff you see in japan hour (hurray for exaggeration)
(Japan day 4) think this is the Shinkansen (bullet train)
it's really fast even though it's so stable inside can't help myself from falling asleep (same goes to my sister)
got off the Shinkansen (at Aomori) and saw snow for the first time in my life wasn't very enthusiastic about it though took a very long bus ride after that (quite bloody ex too, 2600yen per person) hurray for low blood pressure... zzz...
arrived at our destination (hotel Towadako)
fooooooooooooooooooooooooooooddddd.......... really looks like the food you see in japan hour huh (minus the exaggerated terms)
(Japan day 5) this was a pretty sucky day (traveled to Hakone) basically we spent the WHOLE day on transportation and got to the HOSTEL in the night so this picture shouldn't be surprising at all
got dragged out of my bed for dinner surprisingly... i really miss eating like this (hurray for the hikkikomori life)
(Japan Day 6) went around Hakone after buying the Hakone "free" pass (once again... expensive) the japanese cats seem friendlier in a way i squatted down from a distance and this cat walked around me by its own
stayed somewhere else this time round forgot its name but anyway it's a ryokan not sure but i think a ryokan is a traditional japanese inn "normal" japanese food again
the breakfast was kinda english this time
fashion really spreads huh
oh and sorry for the uberly late update (school and all that)
“Teach this triple truth to all: A generous heart, kind speech, and a life of service and compassion are the things which renew humanity.” --Hindu Prince Gautama Siddharta, the founder of Buddhism, 563-483 B.C.
Sambomaster - Hikari No Rock veoh doesn't seem to have this video anyway... it's the song in "Bleach: The diamond dust rebellion" it's not their best song but it's still good (think their getting better) i really must buy more sambomaster albums and singles (anyone knows where or how?)
