Shall blogged about my Japan trip.
Thanks Cliffy for the lil sponsor for this trip. It's my birthday present from him!
01082015,
Happy birthday to me! Another year older, means more things to be aware of, more things to consider. Cliffy went out early for work, then came back to bring me out for a meal. A surprise meal that i did not expect to go to. A place that I wanted to treat him to during Valentine's day but was fully booked.
Blisshouse Cafe! The food was good! I totally love the ambiance there, and totally feel thankful that there wasn't a big crowd there. Thanks Boyfriend for bringing me there!!!
a photo taken w/ Jing's camera because my NXmini died on me.
head back to do last min packing before Terr pick us up to the airport. check in time about 9plus 10 pm. Went there early to chill w/ a starbucks. Treated the guys the starbucks and thankful that they sent me to the airport.
Peh came and off we go!
Was walking around the DFS and saw this camera shop. Wanted to go in see if they bring in any lens for NXmini, because my lens spoiled, so wanting to get another one different from the one I have now so that when my lens is repaired, I have two different lens to alternate w/. But I guess they really don't have much range for NXmini. End up buying a totally new camera (Panasonic G7) which I think it's a good deal. $655 for a cam, tripod stand, selfie stick, one extra battery, one extra memory card, and best, one fish eye lens! I totally put it to good use during the trip!
Here's the first pic w/ the cam!
While waiting to go in because the queue is so long.

Reached Narita Airport, took bullet train to tokyo, shibuya.
The weather there is darned hot, humid, whatever the words can describe. With luggage totally can't walk around. So went to chill at coffee place. Ordered ice choc!
This is our apartment for 5 nights.
Put our luggage already went out to walk around Shibuya. Our apartment is located at Shibuya. Roughly about 5 mins walk from the metro station.
Everywhere is so beautiful! The structure is totally different from Singapore. I always like their culture over at Japan. The people also dress in different ways. Everything that they wear on themselves always looks so beautiful. A lot of style really can't be seen in Singapore. The people there also don't wear SLIPPERS on streets, like seriously! Most of their ladies actually wore heels on the street!! Their roads are not that straight, instead, they are bumpy type.. But salute to the girls who are able to walk on the streets the whole day in HEELS! Killer heels i mean!
Ichiran for lunch/dinner
Their ramen stall are totally different! Theirs are ordered through vending machine! And it's unexpectedly cheaper than Singapore!
Pressed the tics out, fill up the form for the texture of the noodle, the richness of the soup base, the spiciness
Sit down one cabin by one cabin. The silver tap on the left is their free flow plain water!
Bought this cute lil thing @ 109 Men's. My love for My Melody
Guess what this is!!!
This cute Nihon guy is our host of our apartment.
He is very friendly and nice. Totally a SISTER to me. If you know what i mean... Haha! Thanks to him, brought us to a place to chill for the first night, and had an awesome night view of Japan. He told us where are the locations. It's really beautiful but we never get the window seat because it's fully occupied, so no pics of the night view.

Let's start the second day going!
Sight seeing for the day! Headed to the East side of Nihon,
A S A K U S A
3 years ago, I've been to Japan, and stayed there before. So roughly know about there. We are visiting the shrine there!
L'occitane Cafe
ロクシタンカフェ
Their food is so darned good it's totally worth the price! One main, 2 desserts, 2 drinks. Awesome! I'm loving my drink. Can't remember the name of it, but it's god darned refreshing!!!
The market street right at one of the exits.
There are really a lot of food and restaurants here. Didn't went in to have a meal because we are too full from the brunch earlier. Walking around taking pictures.
Their family mart reminds me of Taiwan's 7-11!
Their wide variety of "ice kachang"
Sensou-ji Shrine.
Don\t think this is darned small. It's bigger than you can expect in there ok! Because we don't know how to pray to the god there, so we just stand in front and pray.. Hope they heard my prayers. Hehe.
The weather is toooo hot to walk for too long, and without a water bottle prolly will get a heat stroke there man.
Good thing is that they actually provide a resting shelter corner over there!
There are fans around w/ mist, for people to rest there. A lot of tourists there to see around as well! I took a seat there while peh went to the toilet.
My fish eye lens come in handy for selfies like these! Totally can catch every place in the picture!
Their legit Matcha ice cream under the scotching hot sun!
Every side of Asakusa
walked a looooooooong way to this place.
Skytree tower is one of the tallest building in Asakusa. Tourists go there to have a good view of Asakusa.
Their houses there are not like Singapore. Ours are all tall HDB. But theirs are totally like a loaf of bread. Small and prolly catered only for one family.
"We are at the top of the world!"

Muji Cafe for brunch
Everyday is Cafe for brunch! haha! But really good food everyday over there in Nihon.
Their muji is even bigger than expected. And they sell bicycles! Prettz and Classic!
Spend the day at
G I N Z A
It's sort of like their town area, where all the branded stuff are there. Takashimaya they also have. They also have different types of brands that Singapore don't bring in. There are a lot of beautiful watches.
Managed to find Chrome Heartz there!!
Their shop's interior design.
CLASSIC
Of course, I did buy something for myself and Cliffy!
TA-DAAAA
In the fitting room after trying the tank top!
Very nice sales person we've met! Momoyo is her name!
and she's of my age. The chain around her neck is darned nice piece. The price is even O.O...
And she's really cute and pretty!
Chance upon DSM (Dover street market) there also! The whole building sell different types of street brands like BAPE, CDG. They didn't bring in polo for cdg because it's gonna be their winter season already. So all the items they brought in are long sleeves.

H A R A J U K U // S H I N J U K U
Wanted to go to Mei-ji Shrine, but the weather is stopping us for heading there. The weather is totally unbearable! So walked around Harajuku during the day. Didn't really catch any much wonderful pictures because we are not in the condition to take pictures. Sweaty and bad hair.
Calbee shop that sells all calbee potato chips and snacks!
" Harajuku St " as shown
Tried their legit Ramen
Of course Ichiran still taste the best! Hehe!
walked around and saw this craftoholic shop. The lighting there totally asked for a shot! And their craftoholic plushies are too cute to resist! Bought a liil pillow for Magvin's daughter. Can't wait for her to be born in December! Bought gifts for the poms from here as well!
Continue walking around and saw atmos shoe shop. Hop in to see if there are any nice airmax! And indeed, one caught my eye. Black and peach color. But it's of guy's cutting. But it's ok! slightly bigger doesn't harm. Rather choose bigger shoes than small ones. Peh also helped Kianjiat buy one Nike Lunar. Chance upon Streamer Coffee Cafe right below Atmos! Such coincidence. haha!
Their shops' interior design always surprise me seriously.
Stussy
Found new era shop there also. But no cap size for me for the nice ones i saw. And nothing special. Even for the Hello kitty cap also don't have. How i wish Gerald can sell me his!
Spend the last day at shinjuku, shibuya and ikkeburo. Bought our Kuru Chika Yoshida!
Spend the last night having this expensive fruit dessert that's worth it! Yums!
