Kidding lah. Lesbian forever ok maybe not forever!


I am back from the land of the rising sun, Japan.

Immigration forms

Honestly I am taking back most of my compliments for JAL. Okay the stewardess are okay, refreshing faces but with really old ones as well, like 50 years old or smth. Their seats are horribly squeezy (sorry i only have a little money, i have to make do with economy class) and really, SIA economy class are so much comfortable! On the departing flight, there isnt any feet rest and it was so uncomfortable and I have to tolerate watching Spiderman 3 staying put in the same space for 6 hours to only reach Narita International Airport.

Narita International Airport

From Narita, we took a bus to Haneda Airport for an hour to catch the domestic flight to Hokkaido for another hour.

Drizzling in Hokkaido

After long hour of flights, we started the tour and not checking into hotel yet. We went into this Ainu museum to understand how Japanese came about and believe me you dont really want me to tell the story....

He looks so poor thing!

One of the Ainu (traditional tribe Japanese) imposters. (Job scope)

Obviously picture not taken by me..

So we left and proceed on to some place which was rather chilling and perfect weather to just smoke and lie down on the grass, to make some ice cream ourselves. In fact everywhere in Japan every corner sells ice-cream! The weather makes it perfect for the ice-cream; chilling or sunny weather. Mostly at about 250yen ( S$4)

with mom's sweat and hardwork, she made a really good ice cream
i refused to help, i just wanna eat and snap.

So we are done with really juvenile stuffs (ISCREAM boring) and you can tell the weather is really cooling and mist are just everywhere. I felt like I am on top of a mountain.
Wait i think i was.
Look what i have found just right infront of this make-do house (where we did our icecream)

Looks like a fat cat.

i guess that makes it .. a mountain goat. (love the goatee)
sorry i had to do the pun

NEIGHHHH sorry that's a horse, BLEAHHHH sorry, sheep. ok I got the sound right, its MEHHHHHHzz goat (we do play snorta, you know snorta!!)


So we are in time for check in and the sun is setting at 430 in the afternoon?!? It looks pretty dark. So we are sleeping in this hotel which has maintain the originality of Japan, Tatami. It is pretty cool because it is so neat and just so accessible. The mattresses are so soft and everything is just so soft. I made a suggestion to momsie that my room should be like this. I had a glare in return. You are not allowed to step on the grass mat with your shoes. It is rude. Feets are mostly condemned in Japan.


No prize but this is view right outside my window. Can you see how dark it is when it was only 530 in the evening? (p/s: Japan is one hour ahead of Singapore. And I am talking about Japan hour lol I cant help the puns)


So momsie and I were clad in Yukata that looks like a kimono but not really a kimono but its like a homewear for most Japanese i think (Originally of course)

FYI, not wearing ANYTHING INSIDE.

Nope we did not go to sleep after this because we went for hot spring baths. In Hokkaido, actually Mount Showa/Lake Toya (where we were), each hotel has hot spring baths and they are not man made, they are like ground, earth mantle core hot springs!!

The catch is........... You have to be fully naked to be in the hot spring baths. Of course men aside, women aside. You wont believe it but I did. Momsie too.

Japanese girls are so hot and they dont shave. It was a real time porn show except I have to keep my hands to myself. But my eyes are roaming everywhere my god it was paradise.

IT WAS PARADISE!!!!!!

mom was like, DONT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT. (pouts mummy pouts!)

After hot spring bath, it was really good and really good... It was the best to fall asleep right after that.. So cosy I fell asleep in like 30 seconds.

Then I woke up to this :

Its magnificent. The beauty of nature has awaken me at 530 am. THIS IS 530AM YOU KIDDING ME SO BRIGHT YOU KNOW. I remembered struggling waking up at 530 in singapore to wake up to take mrt to school. And mind you, it is 430am in Singapore. What were you guys doing? Sleeping right? I woke up to this. (gives you a smug look)

Mount Showa/Lake Toya. Formed due to volcano activities

Roll eyes but it was said to be a romantic cruise (cruise my ass it was just a .. ship like to batam) and headed to Nakajima Island for a short nature walk.

glitters

which basically meant Nakajima Nature walk or smth

yup they are native deers( like they can have passports TO anywhere else)

Anyhow, fun facts! You can guess the age of this mother deer! How to guess? Every deer that grows their first horn means they are one years old and reaching two, the first horn will drop and another horn with 2 "branch" will grow out! You can see it. This deer is about 3 years old..

sunflowers are everywhere in Japan even by the roadside.

Next we are off to Sobertsu fruit farms, picking fruits. The tour guide (R0nnie) claims that all fruits and vegetables grown here are all organic. Mos Burger in Japan is different because in Singapore Mos Burger is in Red and Japan Mos Burger is in Green and it means only organic vegetables are used! 野菜

very original sweet tomatoes that can be eaten on the spot

The corn are so sweet too

So we went to the Bear Ranch as well. Ronnie told us that the bears are really smart so that stupid tourists like us will give them food and in return they will do all sorts.

They are so smart, cute and just so adorable! I wanna bring them home and cuddle them to sleep! Or like go japanese, Kawaiii des ne! *twist*

chants, food food food food

Obviously momsie wasnt pleased with the sights and not forgetting the smell but small claims of adoration for the bears. She refused to let me feed them with apples that we had from the previous destinations. They are so cute!! I really like bears, whatever bears. Polar bears (!!), Panda bears! Grizzly bears!

So we arrived at the beautiful Pacific Ocean 太平洋。Momsie wasnt very interested until I told her baywatch's at Pacific Ocean.

一望无际的太平洋
the endless pacific ocean

okay i have a crush on this guy whose name is Jeremy and he is really nice. I saved him from a huge bee that was resting on his shirt. Ya lah my tour one lah, so lame right. But he is really cute!!


So we left the beautiful pacific ocean, we arrived at the sulphurous boiling pond known as Jigokudani or Hell Valley.


The sulphur smell was rather strong, smells of a million of rotten eggs together. But it was bearable for me.. I think i kinda like it. There would be a point of really strong smell..

Really original hot spring from the volcano.

your cheebye will be so cooked and i can just eat it. (lol i cannot stop the puns)

FYI, we moved to different hotels every night. So in the morning we would pack and just go! Another tatami i love it!

guess whats next? :) hot spring LOVE BEING NUDE.
I will never ever see those Japanese again afterall.. They can check out my bulging tummy, my cellulites, my thunder thighs .
my everything....

Pachinkos! Japan slut, sorry slots machines.

No beautiful view. The sun still rise really early. After breakfast we head to Edo wonderland. Features of Edo period, trademen, warriors, a feudal lord, a princess, mill wheel houses and warrior mansions. Ninja shows and comical performances (WHICH I CANNOT UNDERSTAND)

So we headed to another town Furano to visit Furano farm and enjoy the view of flowers. ( like i havent had enough of my mother's flowers in the balcony) Japan is really famous for their lavenders.

for yuani, i love you, give you lavender.

wish i could just lie on these bed of flowers. life aint a bed of rose.

felicia would love this zero calories coke.

we tried the lavender ice cream it was so good, and totally orgasmic.

So we moved again. Hot spring too! Tatami and Yukata!


After breakfast, we were at the foot of Mount Daisetsu-zan (roof of Hokkaido). Watching water falls of Ryusei-no-taki.

难道是流星花园。。。

There are alot of dragonflies in Hokkaido! The funny thing is that most of them flying in pairs as though they were mating while flying. I scoffed at those dragonfly that is single. Cheryl suggested that they might be gay...


So we had some buffet (we are always eating but I am too lazy to snap food because this blog conserves diet) bbq thingy and their beef is so fattening. Kobe beef is so fatty! On our way to Asahi beer factory. (FREE BEER FREE BEER FREE BEER)

kidding me someone ask my momsie if i was her sister.

fyi, i wasnt allowed to call her ma, momsie, or whatever maternal names i have her.
she likes to pretend to be single, travelling.
women.

So we are back in Sapporo city. For some shopping. Love macdonalds still!

how can i not love japanese school girls. *dreamy eyes

subways

i really love billboards, like those in HK

everyone looks like ayumi hamasaki, they are like beautiful people.
they can make jimmy james fashionista their anthem.
"no one ugly allowed" - points at myself.

number 1 beer in Japan, Asahi 杀口。 Eunice like it too..

like tv, business suit men with bicyles. common transport in Japan.

she got her 'tonic'

hmm school girls! fantasy baby!

powerlines

best cheese cake in sapporo, level 2.

Had Hokkaido crab for lunch. Around S$200 for 1.2kg which is alot. And 1.2kg is the smallest and momsie insist that I finished it all by myself. But after consuming all of its legs I am so full. The meat is so juicy and so sweet. It was.... well, put it this way.. other crabs wont be better. Maybe.. but i havent tried Alaskan crabs! Succulent.

Hokkaido Crab

Back in Tokyo. To some shrine.

100yen to draw lots 抽签
had ronnie to translate it for me.
lost in directions.

innocence of twelve year old.

So we are back in Narita Internation Airport taking JAL again, back to Singapore. Horrible seats, and Spiderman again but I watched Fantastic 4 instead! Sigh in fact I didnt really enjoy this trip as I thought I would.. its too touristy for me and I didnt even manage to get anything for my friends except like something for Cheryl. Even like a small small doraemon cost 700yen (Which is like... SGD 8.50?!) I really hate tours and it is really boring.

I am planning another trip to Bali or Vietnam I think i am pushing it to after 3 weeks later for a short getaway. Horribly 7 earthquakes strucked Sumatra, Indonesia which conveniently my grandmother is at. Yes, limpei is indochinese but my bahasa cannot make it. My cussing is better than normal conversations.

Friends are all over the globe. Germany, Canada, New zealand, Thailand, Japan and lol, singapore. XY just told me she was robbed in Wellington, NZ!! OMG! So dangerous, she was robbed of a few hundred sing dollars, her phone, her dad's camera, NDS and the Guess bag! Nabei, damn sway. But her father print money so its fine. (LOVE YOU XY!)

Dad is in South africa. News rumoured that epidemic of Ebola is spreading in Congo and my dad is going there. My god this is not happening. We are currently contacting through emails. Hmmm... I guess south africa has internet and NOT that undeveloped i guess...

Finally, I am officially a year 3 student! Just a year more to graduate. Its time to discuss about post graduate plans.
