This post is more then 1 month old....

Since I spent a long time uploading all these pics, I thought I should just still upload it. Don't waste the limited photo space I have in blogspot!

Here are my Tokyo Again photos! Enjoy!


Dulcy on board the A380!
My turn for a picture! Bunny is travelling with me!
There is a new side compartment at the window seats in the A380
and ours wasn't properly cleaned!
We found a piece of tissue inside!
Obviously the previous passengers mistook it for a dustbin...
(-_-)

Well I selfishly "choup" the 2 seater window seats,
the rest of them had to squeeze in the aisle seats....
Sorry lah, leg long, needs more space lah!

Dulcy packed her stuff nicely into the compartment, It's extremely handy,
hope all planes in future will have this and I will not dread sitting next to the window!
Our night snack!
Turkey ham and cheese Panini.
I asked for white wine to help me sleep but it didn't work at all!
I didn't manage to sleep much! The seats were soooo uncomfortable!
Ended up with a super sore back and legs!
The view at 430am....
What a beautiful sight!
Dulcy and I went to wash up before they start the breakfast.
It was 430am and we are already slapping on makeup.
Gosh....
My skincare and makeup!
The Paul & Joe makeup case (bday pressie from the girls)
are always very handy when I'm travelling!
Kim, doing her makeup at the airport while waiting for the airport transfer to arrive!
Her lovely Paul and Joe suitcase is so eye-catching!
This is one of the nice Ton Katsu place in Akabane station.

The only Japanese food my boss will eat is fried pork cutlet lor...


See my seto!
Golden brown pork strips with cheese is waiting for me to devour it!
Miso soup has mini clams in it!
When I showed Boo this pic, he say something that I didn't expect at all!
He said, "Mickey Mouse!"
Can you tell????
My boss got upgraded to a suite because all 10 of us was held for more then 30 mins waiting for the chambermaid to clean our rooms and this toilet in his suite is fully automated!
All of us are so intrigued with the seat cos it will automatically lift the cover when we open the door! Not only that, it will light up also!
Damn the japanese!!!
PC Girls!
My boss got us these huge grapes!
So sweet!!!!

Look!
The grape is almost as big as the cherry tomato!
My new toy!
Hanari Tofu in Halloween cat costume!
Cute right!!!
My blistered feet!
After 1 whole day of wearing the crocs mary-jane,

My feet were covered with blisters due to the constant rubbing against the rubber shoes!
I thought they were comfortable lor!
My feet were hurting so bad that I skipped the delicious Ramen session with the rest of time and limped back to the hotel room after grabbing some convenient food.
I got the Onigiri and tea from the convenience store and a mexican MOS burger for dinner!
Sigh.... I miss the delicious Ramen.....
I got a cake from Chocoholic too!!!!
I saw this bear cake from the poster from the previous trip and was dying to try it this time round!!! So I got the cake!!!! This cake not cheap lor... It's ¥588 (¥617.40 with tax) which is S$8.50!

Gonna sleep and not eat it 1st!


Cute right!
I couldn't "bear" to eat it!!!
(pun not intended! Haha)
I ♥ the cake!
Pass this Comme Ca store in Shinjuku and saw a collaboration with a certain character in the window and Dulcy immediately say that she is Lu Guang Zhong's girlfriend! WAHAHA!!!
Mobile Crepe van in Shinjuku!
Road's close on Sundays! It was damn crowded!

Me and Dulcy at the newly revamped "Girls" section on the basement 1 of Shinjuku's Famed Isetan. Here we are at the quietiest part of Isetan - outside the toilet.
Huhu...
Made Dulcy pose with the on-coming crowd at the Shinjuku station.
The ticket covering her mouth is her idea... Haha...
I looked like an idoit lor.....
I thought Dulcy was going to take a half body shot of me with the crowd at the back so I stood with my knees bent so she can capture the ppl at the back.
But when I got my camera back, the pic shows me standing like this!!!
Bloody hell! Haha...
On the way from Sunshine plaza walking back to our hotel.
And we saw these 4 people performing an "art"?
The 2 guys kneeling are actually doing something like a break dance.
The lady and the guy seated was stationary.
I wonder what message were they trying to put across???


Dinner time!

Angie wanna eat Phyllis's beef rice and noodle set!
I ordered a bowl of beef udon!
Look at the semi-cooked egg!

Delicious!!!!
The york is slightly darker in colour then what we have at home!
It's so rich and creamy!
Phyllis got the other Halloween edition Tofu for her kids!
Now my Tofu have a friend!

The next day we have Tonkatsu again!
This one is more expensive then the one we had the 1st day.
They gave us a bowl of sesame each table to grind!

There is an Ojisan behind us, smiling at us and asked where we're from and told us this 2 set is the most popular and the most delicious set!
Special sauce for dipping!


Halloween edition Crepe!
Must try!!!
It was Halloween-everything in Tokyo!

I've gotten the 1st one - Pumpkin pudding and vanilla ice-cream

with lots of whipped cream!

H&M Harajuku!!! It's a massive building!!! (@_@)
I think it has more then 12 storey of Fashion Haven!!
Lovely Gatcha machines outside a fashion store!
I tried my luck on the top right hand one and my boss was laughing at me...
Maybe he thinks I'm still a kid!

Shibuya at night....

Eh.... My shopping...*blush*
Huhuhu......
Yeah!
Huhuhu......

DAIKANYAMA!!!!

Aronzo shop at Daikanyama!

Miss E Vs Rhody!
Pretty cigarattes for da ladies!
Pretty lah but I still won't smoke!
hahaha....
Cute pig pig!
Love this store building lah!!!
So GOD DAMN COOL!!!!!
The Cath Kidston store in Daikanyama is so pretty!
It wasn't open yet and we were standing outside the store looking
at all the merchandise they are selling.

LayC and I had came across the Cath Kidston catalogue once inside a japanese magazine we bought and when we saw the price, it was like day robbery lor! Hahaha...
The double or more of what they are selling in England lor!
Can you imagine it's more??!! Anything else in sterling pounds is already like so expensive!
Entrance of a traditional Japanese house. Look! So low!
Traditonal Japanese Symbols!
We came across a Gallery and we went in to take a look!
Lovely cushion cases!
Lovely artworks on the wall!
I wasn't even sure If I can take photos so I sneak a quick pic!


Time was running out so we thought we better head back to the hotel to meet the rest of them to head to the hotel. But when we got to the small Daikanyama station, we heard the station manager announcing something and everyone just stood there. The ticketing outlets are all closed and we saw some chinese characters on the LED screen - "人事务....blah blah blah....". So we immediatly assumed someone jump on the tracks and commited suicide!!!

I freaked out lah! Cos that's the only way I know how to get to Daikanyama! We need to get back to the JR line from Shibuya station! But the only way I know is now closed for operations! Cabs are extremely expensive in Tokyo lor! Dulcy and Kim will kill me man! I was the one who suggested to go there!
So, I immediately asked the station manager for directions cos I overheard him telling some other commuters the next possible station to take which is the Ebisu station. I have never been to Ebisu lor! Panic man!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!
Someone commited suicide?!??!?!
How to go back?!?!?!
Walking to the Ebisu station with the direction,
"walk in front, turn left and blah blah blah (in japaneses), 10 mins walk"
And so we just walk.....
Some cool shops along the way so we assumed it's the right way.
Love this "Katie" store sign!
The brick wall just made the words stand out so much!
We got a bit lost and we asked some kind people along the way. All they can do is point and try to tell us as many landmarks as they can with their limited english and we were like playing a game of charade!!! There was a kind lady with her son. She was very helpful in helping us understand. We reached a small station and we thought we could link it back to the JR line but the young station duty officer wasn't of any help.

I asked him can we get back to the Ikebukuro station from here? He told us " JR line, go up turn left" then I asked again like can this station link? He repeats the same thing again lor!!!! For like 4 times!!! I gave up! So we went up the stairs and dunno turn where cos infront of us there is a "left" and behind us also another "left"!!! Piangz...
Time was running out and we panicked lor, cos we have been walking for close to 30 mins despite the station manager at Daikanyama saying was 10 mins! We were outside a Starbucks cafe and there was a lady giving out drinks so we try to ask her for the Ebisu station. She doesn't speak any english so from her actions we can guess it's where she pointed then we tried to ask her is it every far??? She couldn't understand and keep trying to direct us by gesturing. So we gave up and thank her for her kindness and headed towards the directed path.
And less then 1 min, we saw the bloody station in front of us lor! It's a big station as well, complete with malls and stuff! HIAYO!!!! What an adventure man!!!

So tired and hungry, we bought riceballs to eat. We decided to spend the last bit of money on snacks for the family and last min gifts.
I ♥ Chocoholic!
Behind Chocoholic is the Swimmer store which I absolutely love too!!!!
3 of us,
eating happily outside the hotel
since there is no eating or drinking in the lobby!
We shared a Bento.
I was attracted to this bento set but it turned out to be rather disappointing...
It didn't really taste as good as it looks....
Maybeline, showing me the 2 plush she got for her kids!
She wasn't aware that I was taking her pic as well! Hehe....
Throughout the whole trip, she refused to let me take any photo of her!
OOPSY! huhu....
My pretty cake box!
I made a terrible mistake not to eat the mousse I got from Chocoholic!
But the time I reached the airport, the whole thing just turn to liquid!
Sian!
The Hello Kitty plane caught Maybel's attention and we went to take a closer look!
At 1st I thought it was Japan Airlines, who knows it was actually Taiwan's EVA Air!
Surprise surprise!
So now, after 1 month, I am finally done with this post! Gosh!!!
More photos of my trip can be found on the links below!

I am inspired to change the look of my blog abit. Unfortunately, I dunno how to do html and stuff so I am kinda stuck with the boring simple default look from blogger. Anyone wanna teach me??? Haha....

A380!

I'm going to fly in the Giant tonight!!!!
So excited!

Although I will be so darn scared but I'm excited! And of cus, I'll be at the economy class lah! Not the Private 1st class SUITES!(I wish!!!) Hahaha...
So I heard the economy class will be on the upper deck! I'm going to take pics later! See if there is any difference from the Boeing 777-300ER we took to Hong Kong last month. The pics from the Singapore Airlines website is the same! I am hoping and wishing for more space for my legs!!!
It's an overnight flight to Tokyo Narita! And straight after we leave our luggage at the Hotel, it's hit the streets time! Gosh.... tomorrow will be a LOOOOOONG Day!
My sis calls it the Mothership!
Wahaha!!!

R.I.P. beloved headphones....

I broke my 5 year-old Audio-Technica headphones this morning! I was talking to Angie and wanted to put on my headphones and when I couldn't make out what she was saying, I pulled the ear pieces apart and "SNAP!"!!!! The right ear piece is on my hand, separated with the body....

Split into 2 now....



I was quite upset! Boo hoo.....

I remember buying this headphone after Grace bought the white one and I like how it wraps your whole ear and it doesn't hurt like my ipod earphones.





NO choice.... time for a new headphones!

Good Bye, headphones! Thank you for shutting me off from the vicious world when times are bad! Wahahaha.....

So Drama.... wahahaha....

Hong Kong again!

Yes, my 2nd trip this year. This time round me, Dulcy and LayC were there to present our fall winter collections to the HK promoters. Boss, 沈太 and Angie were with us too for this trip. Was dreading this trip since the previous week... hate presentations.... english ones still ok but since I joined 8 years ago, I had only made 1 or 2 presentations in english!!!! Most of the time were in Mandarin lor!!! Speaking in Mandarin is no problem for me but presenting things like Brand philosophy in Mandarin can die! Wahaha.... Good thing for me that my Cantonese is not as good as it is... if not I probably have to give a full presentation in Cantonese lor!

So, last wednesday, prior to flying, Boss told us about the expensive dinner he had booked for dinner that night. At a chinese restaurant called Xin Tong Le (新同乐) at Happy Valley. When Mr. Sim told me the price per person, I nearly fainted! It's HK$2000 (S$400) per pax!!! Wah lau eh!!!! Very ex! My mum said that she had never ate such an expensive meal in her whole life before... So haven't I!!! Hahaha.... it was my 1st most expensive meal in my life!

Thank you Boss! Huhu...

My boss is a very generous person, always treating us to sumptuous meals! If I hadn't join SCH, I doubt I will have any chance to eat all the hor liao!

Hey LayC, what are you writing on the MTR???

It's actually a Motorola HP ad!
cute idea!

Dinner at Xin Tong Le

Nice napkin display!
The waitress told us that the chopsticks used in the restaurant are
at least 40 years old!!!
No wonder the bottom part of the chopsticks are a darker colour!
Yucks! I like vintage but not this kind lah!
I like the floral wallpaper at the back.


We had the whole of 2nd floor to ourselves!
Double-boiled Sharksfin?
The chicken stock soup base is rather thick and salty.


Must be at least double-boiled.


XO sauce looks real good right?!?!
Crystal prawn!
It has many properties that are good for diseases like Parkinson's disease
and also anti-aging etc. etc.
There is a write-up on this type of prawns too!
Telling us all the benefits for consuming this crystal prawn.
Prawn fritter.


Deliciously crispy!


Here's another Star of the menu -
"14-head" abalone!!!!
My 1st time devouring such an expensive abalone!
I was enjoying every bite of it!
Abalones are my favourite! Wahaha!



Scallops!!!
Big whole scallops cooked to perfection!!!
Pork Rib with Chai po!
Very fragrant~!
The skin of this chicken is so crispy and the meat is so tender!
There wasn't any "chicken smell" to it.
The waitress was so proud that chicken in HK are not frozen,she was so proud that she said she has been to Singapore and she nearly puke after eating our frozen chicken.
Such arrogance ar!
荷叶饭
Was really, really full when this lotus leaf rice came.
Managed to eat some and I couldn't stop after that!
The rice was so delicious! Every grain is so flavourful!

The award-winning dessert!
It's warm water-chestnut cake (马蹄糕)
sandwiched between pastries shells.

It's the best chinese pastry I have ever eaten!!!! Behold!
The finalé!
Bird nest in Almond cream!
Look! How fine it is!
The whole bowl is filled with so much bird nest!
More then what I usually eat in a year!
After the finalé, my stomach almost burst lor!
I had to hold my stomach and walk! So afraid that when I let go,
my whole stomach will fall to the floor!
Wahahaha!
Back at the new Novotel hotel at Nathan Road!
Loving the wall mural on the 6th floor lift lobby! LayC!
The new contemporary feel of the rooms are very comforting!
Lipstick-like containers that are so so modern!
Amazingly, I didn't take any of these home despite the lovely shape!
Near the shower!
Like the bathroom and mosaic tiles!
2 different types of pillows for us to choose from!
Honestly, feather pillows are just tooooooo soft lah!
LayC and I bought the same stuffs!
The collagen are so cheap!!!
2 for HK$389 - $60+, $30+ for one!!!
I saved more then $20 for 1 can!
Too bad I don't have more cash to spare if not I would have bought 2 more!
Lunch the next day!
Very famous char siew and roast goose at Tsuen Wan!
Boss found this shop by accident and is actually a very famous roast shop!
See how fat the Roast pork is!

♥Mini celebration at Hui Lau Shan!♥

It's my 8th year anniversary at SCH(18th Sept)!

I made Angie treat me at Hui Lau Shan but in the end she had to treat
Dulcy and LayC as well! Hahaha....

Angie and her Gui Ling Gao!
Always eat the same! Boring lei!
LayC's having a mango and jello drink!
Dulcy ordered a papaya and hashima dessert!
She took a few sips of the Hashima and complained that it tasted wierd

so when she took a bite at the papaya, it was sour!
I tried a tiny bite and it was indeed spoilt! Yucks!

A must-eat!
Mango mochi!
My 芒果神冰! ♥
Mango ice-cream, mango pudding, mango puree and mango bits!
SO SO MANGO!!!
Wahaha!

Me look so tired after 1 long day!
My hair is so messsssy too!

Day 3 - 2nd presentation and going back SG in the evening!

The red, red lantern at 糖朝!
Good thing that we were at the private rooms on level 2!
The lunch crowd are killing us with the noise they were creating!
The classic paper placemat!
Eventhough they had moved and renovated,
the paper is still the same!
Bird nest on the egg tarts!☻
Traditional 杨枝甘露!
Ok only lei... quite disappointing :(

So here you have it... my HK trip... 3 things I did - Eat, presentation and shopping in H&M. Didn't even go to Mongkok this time.... No cheap bags to buy.... Sian... Hahaha... anyway I was broke too!!!! Good thing I managed to sneak an uncensored version of Lust, Caution back... huhu... or am I not supposed to say this??? Oops!
