Day 1:
Destination: Osaka nikko hotel, streets
reached osaka at 6am i think.. or was it 5? ah as long as it was real early in the morning. the airport was boring xD haha no offence. but the place we got off the plane was far from the airport so we had to take the "wings"(?) forgot what they are called. they are like mini trains. they move very quietly loh. saw red leaves! :O woah i didnt dream that i will see red leaves ever in my life xD AHHH. took subway (they call mrt subway. yep.) VERY COOL! it is exactly like in anime and jap movies loh. can put your bag on top and the sits are cushions one xD at around the 3rd stop, school students started to come in. omg their uniforms so cool. i remember they have summer and winter uniforms one so all they wore were long sleeves. (it is cold there :S) and they are all blue? why cant they be red D: like the uniforms in 11 eyes AWW that would be perfect xD sat the train all the way to the last stop. took almost 1h. we had a hard time getting to the hotel. i think we only found it at noon? cus couldnt get use to er, the ticket machine. heh (: blahblah.
walk down the streets and went to this cd shop. saw dbsk mirotic album and it is like $40?! O.o
ate spaghetti for lunch. yeah i know its weird to eat spaghetti in japan but their spaghetti tastes different and its nice! yummy~ we have to press this bell (more like a button) for the waitresses to come. so cool. went to yamaha.. the shop is damn big loh. have upstairs one leh. and and! saw dbsk scores!!!!! AHHHHHH!!!!! they have songs like bolero, stand by u, proud, etc. all the slow songs. but didnt buy it cus hardly play the piano anymore. sobs. saw trumpets and violins too, love them (; then there was a hello kitty shop. three stories of hello kitty things. im not a big fan of hello kitty though :X but the things there are nice.. and ex. super sleepy that day since i didnt sleep at all. went back hotel after dinner and watched ice skating and volleyball! the rest of the programmes are boring. rarely have anime loh D: oh also, the advertisements are very funny xDDD and almost every advertisements they will put the song name playing below. so good (: the shops opened from 11am-8pm (well most of them. singapore time: 10am-7pm) only eh. like.. so late open and so early close?

ALOT nicer than the other perfumes. i hate perfumes actually xD exept cherry blossoms!!!!! went to shitennoji temple next, just walking around only. enjoy the cold air~ and the temple (:
uh.. we went to the aquarium kaiyukan after that..but we had to buy the tickets first. we saw this really big ferris wheel and went to see the price. my parents say if it's cheap then we can go sit the ferris wheel. and yep, it was really cheap compared to singapore and afterall, that ferris wheel is considered one of the largest in the world. it's called "giant wheel" :D there was a package for adults, giant wheel + aquarium. haha, elaine and i are not adults yet. 16 and below :D went to the ferris wheel. there are all seven rainbow colours. very pretty :D sat on the last purple. damn wasted loh, the next is red already eh D: hmph. oh we saw this big winnie the pooh in the other cabin, i think it's for children that are scared of heights? i think. we saw the Osaka dome! where they hold all the sports competitions lah. like the volleyball match we watched the previous night ;D aquarium kaiyukan is 8 stories tall :O it's like a totally enlarged aquarium! AWW I LOVE THE SEE OTTERS! kawaii ne!!! erm saw whale shark, jellyfish(alot of species!), dolphins, penguins, porcupine fish (look like pufferfish), sea lion, etc. i was awed :D haha im gonna comment something very funny: the toilet there is very nice!

FREEZING COLD! we went to the longest shopping street in japan.. called suji shopping street. haha sorry, actually i dunno all the names one i just simply searched in the web xD hmm, it is 2.6km long :O we walked from morning to 4.30pm+ legs hurting loh ): oh when we talk there was mist coming out. so it was THAT cold. maybe the same as genting. maybe. we ate at a shop that was REALLY cheap and the udon was perfect! T_T it was superb loh. i want to eat again! D: that place is like a fast food restaurant kind of thing where you have to order your own food at the counter and sit down. muhahaha. went to nearby shops at night. saw a shop just for selling idols' stuff. have alot eh! japanese and korean. have dbsk (DUH!) and kim jeong hoon! mostly are jap people lah. they sell photos and posters.
Day 4 :
Destination: Universal studios (weird they have an 's' behind)
MUHAHAHA. went to universal studios osaka. it's a theme park (: that day was still cold from the rain caused the previous day. watched 4d shrek first. 20 mins long. didnt know what they were saying since it was in jap. but their actions are obvious lah.. the chair can move one loh xD also have water spraying when the donkey sneezed. gross. have wind coming out from behind me the chair too! haha. oh the creepiest thing was when shrek dropped a bunch of spiders on the floor, something touched my leg from below the chair. as though the spiders were there you know! ahh i hate hate hate hate bugs :X
the amazing adventures of spider man! elaine and i decided to take that ride. didnt want to take the super big ride cus it was VERY cold and if we took the outdoors' one i think i will freeze to death ;D (i think im just making excuses for not riding the big one xD) the queue was suuuper long. turn one point see another long path. aiyo.. the place is decorated like where spider man works. detective kind of thing. and they have story for you to watch when queueing.. so at least you get the point of the ride xD but i didnt understand what they are saying. HAHA. hmm there was this part of the place when queueing showing the "trophies" they are all fake lah.. just making the place more real. then there was a certificate with my cousin's name! "hiroki tanaka" for the best butt-kissing and boot-licking award. LOL! poor hiroki.. his name was exactly the same as the certificate. the ride was very fun! i screamed alot xD oh it's 3d too. basically, it was spider man trying to save us from 4 bad guys. when the bad guy with the fire came, there was fire :O! the ride kept turning around lah.. very fun! :D
all the food sold there are $$$. no choice, ate at an irish restaurant (or what the irish call them, bars) so happy, irish :DD i ate until cannot move. and the mango pudding was soo nice loh. didnt feel like eating it cus it's too nicely decorated! watched terminator 2 3d after that. i dont like it ): ooo took the "back to the future ride". same as spider man, it has a story. and this time it's about albert einstein! hee. more like a motion ride? i very scared i vomit out my food loh :S snoopy's great race! is more like a normal roller coaster. but it's so small and short D: still.. it was fascinating :D elaine scream very loud xD that's all the rides that we went. the rest are water rides. remember it was freezing cold? hah so we didnt go to anymore rides. the incredible thing was that every ride has their own souvenir shops. so cool :D there was this pink shop too. sell all pink things!
tiring day. went back to hotel watch tv again. haha.. watched volleyball. they holding world volleyball championship or smth like that in the osaka dome. and that night's one was different cus it's male! never see male volleyball before. very nice loh! jap vs poland. hmph, elaine support poland. there is a guy from japan called shimizu (reminded me of shimizu from la corda d'oro xD) i think he is the best player in the world or maybe just in japan lah. his smashes are stunning! :D and a guy from the poland side is 211cm?! super tall! my mother saw some of the volleyball people at the shops the other day. and one girl took picture with them she was way below his shoulder :O
Day 5:
Destination: korea town, hotel area
woah we almost got lost. asked about 4-5 people for directions. one place after another. going to korea town. when we finally reached there, there were ALOT of school students loh. scary :S they talk very loud -.- the food there smells so nice! for lunch, we ate some egg thing(look like carrot cake) and the thing that they eat in goong lah! ahh i dunno what they are called! who cares x) yummy~ many korean stars shops there! heh bought dbsk cd xD their asia tour mirotic concert in seoul AUDIO. thought it was real live concert but came back home found out is audio only D; ah wells. the girls there are jaejoong fans? haha.. could hear them scream. oo saw shinee cd too!!!!! :DDDD
went back to shop around hotel area again. bought crepe tiramisu flavour to eat. very nice! they have ice cream one too and it looks superb but the weather was too cold? tried melon bread too (shana!!!!!!!!!) i think it is lah, looks like it (: went back hotel to rest for a while. watched a jap music show. saw boa for 5s? they were introducing new songs and have boa's white wishes :DDDD went out for dinner. since it was the last meal there, we ate nicer food. found jap bbq like seoul garden lah. that place was underground, super scary loh. i felt like hansel and gretel going into a trap ><>SINGAPORE!
the next day woke up early in the morning for the flight. we saw the singaporeans again! we:
1) sat on the same plane to osaka
2) stayed at same hotel
3) leaving on the same date!
woah.. so cool loh. met them again. though i dont really care cus they were unfriendly x( that time met at the train station asked them how to use the ticket machine and where they going they said that they staying at nikko hotel and left in a hurry. maybe cus they gonna miss train? dunno. dont care. watched summer wars on the plane. VERY NICE!!!!!!!! even my mom who doesnt watch anime also say its nice!
Conclusion:
Japan is a place you can go eventhough you dunno jap xD
haha.. dunno how to go to a place just ask the station person, they know english. and the subway layout across japan is quite easy to follow. hmm, the people there are polite? yeah.. when going out, the ladies all put heavy make up one loh, esp eye liners :S then have alot shuai ges! lol xD spring can see sakura(cherry blossom) too :D i miss that place already ):

bridging programme - DAY 1
HEY ALL!! :D
sigh... it's great that most of your hols start this week... NO FAIR. D:
our school told all the sec 2 express and sec 3 and 4 NA to go back to school. for us sec 2, we only need to go back for one week. i dunno for the others who are gonna have their 'o' levels next year lah.
so anyways, this bridging programme is to get us ready for next year, when we get promoted to sec 3. mainly only focused on history, english and maths...
today's first lesson was maths, in the LT, where all the people taking express maths come together and learn together. ms tan mui mui was our lecturer for the day. just for maths. WAHSEH. we had to do like dunno how many questions of algebra? ytd, i was really excited and hoped there'll only be algebra questions. and well, i was happy for a moment there today, but soon, i got a bit fed up, all bcos of the low 'table'. it's those kind that is connected to the chair one lah. i had to dip my neck down like dunno wad seh... my neck almost broke. x.x 2h somemore!
after recess was history. HOORAY! the teacher who taught us history at the first half of the year came and taught us!!! :DD missed her so much... so anw, yeah. she revised with us the techniques used for SBQ. and she also said that even if we're not gonna take elective history next year, we'll still need to use them for social studies, which is compulsory subject for all of us.
after 1h, it was english time. taught by ms siti. eeeyer. dun like that teacher. she was the one who set the geog papers. but that's NOT the reason why i dun like her kays! she told us to do comprehension, and only gave us 45 min. leave out the summary, tmr then continue doing. cos anw, i dun think there'll be enough time. the dismissal time is at 1235. after that she told us that we have english as one of the subjects they are focusing on for this bridging programme is cos our seniors had lots of problems after they go up from sec 2 to sec 3, for english. and she said that... WE WILL FAIL. wth?!
it's only day 1... ah wells. there's still more to come. have to do hw leh. D: maths... and history... and the history assignment will be used next year, so i think, it's a must to do.
Elaine :D
P.S. tmr is mz's birthday!
