Tokyo Disneyland

Mina san, I'm finally back. Wondering how's my Japan trip? ICHIBAN!! Breathtaking!! Definitely worth the money I would say.

It's like walking in the scenes we usually see in animes and Japanese movies. That kind of surreal feeling filled of endless astonishment and happiness. I just cannot describe it using words! That's why throughout the trip I kept snapping photos every minute like a pro devoted blogger. And guess what, there are almost 1500 photos under Japan trip in my camera!!!! The funny part is I forgot to bring along my usb cable for my camera to Japan. FML now I don't know how to sort out the trip photos. 

so I decided to split my Japan trip into a few blog posts according to places I went. That would be quite a number of posts though. Good thing! At least I have got enough things to blog for a month. HAHAHA

Okay guys, prepare your scrollbars as it's gonna be a heavy loaded posts with tons of pretty photos! ;)

 In the plane (MAS) :

Fasten your seatbelt, hug a pillow and you're ready to flyyyyyyy.

baby sis (not baby anymore) looking excited with her blanket and pillow.

;) When you're flying to Japan, you get to try Japanese cuisine during your flight.

and Häagen Dazs too. I think all MAS international flights include this. I remember having one on my last MAS flight to Aussie.

was too bored after watching a movie and playing lame trivia games. decided to select a few Japanese songs to prepare myself before landing. Japanese mood: ON ^____^



_______Landed at Narita International Airport. Checked-in hotel______________

Japanese hotels are just awesome. They give you Yukatas and Japanese slippers!

LOL. she's just too funneeeh and cuteee. Drinking Japanese green tea.

Typical Japanese toilet bowl. Fun to use :P

Ohaiyo! My breakfast :)

The view outside. ahhh :')
It's nearly the end of Autumn and the beginning of Winter there. So I could still see orange coloured maple leaves. Temperature during the day fluctuated between 5 to 9 ℃

Itadakimas!

Miso soup is ♥ Just look at the mini mushroom! It's buffet style so..being kiasu I put lots and lots of seaweed, tofu and mushrooms into my miso soup. heh.

Our tour guide bought tickets for us earlier because you don't want to queue outside Disneyland for hours I tell you. and yea, I am still a teenager so I get a Junior ticket :P

 Had to choose Disneyland because apparently they say it's better to visit land before you go for sea for first timers. Like a baby, you need to learn how to walk before you learn how to swim. lol. and yea I've never been to any Disneyland in the world. That's why. I know right!!! Disney Sea got Ariel and Atlantica! and her husband Prince Eric which I think is the hottest among all Disney Prince LOL. ohh and Duffy too!! arrrghhh opportunity cost. nvm save it for my next Japan trip la.

Oooh the Disneyland monorail ♥ didn't get to ride on it though : /

Christmas Decorations!

Boo! guess who?

It's Gepetto! Pinocchio's father.

Nutcrakers and a... Hidden Mickey! :)  @World Bazaar

Love the whole Christmas celebration in the park ♥

Window shopping. Literally. Everything's just overpriced there to a Malaysian. Imagine a tiny tiny tinyyyy (i have to stress on this lol )Mickey Mouse key chain for 600 yen. That's like..25 bucks?!

Just because there's a tiny tiny tinyyy 'Tokyo Disneyland' quote at the back which I could barely see it. Nuh-uh -.- 

However, if I put myself in the shoes of a Japanese. 600 yen for a Disney merchandise? That's cheap! An average sales girl in Tokyo earns about 900 yen per hour a day. That's like RM36 per hour. So you imagine, if there is a Disneyland in Malaysia and they sell a genuine Mickey keychain for RM6, will you buy or not? Of course, it's affordable isn't it? 

But I think this is too pretty that if I earn my own money now I would have bought one irrationally :P

Errr I think this prince charming looks kinda normal. But he sure has a very charming voice. I wanted to meet Prince Phillip and Sleeping beauty but didn't get to see them. It's so hard to search for all these characters. Plus we don't have much time due to our tight schedule. 

 Salute! Met the green soldier from Toy Story!  @Tomorrow land

oooooooooouuuuuuuuu...

In Tokyo Disneyland you will see lots of queueing going on everywhere in the park. One of the common queue is of course, the famous Disneyland Popcorns. In fact, there are 7 flavours of popcorns like chocolate,curry, salt etc. and they are all spread over the park. The one we chose to queue for was caramel but I guess the flavour doesn't matter actually. All we wanted was merely the cute Mickey container that comes along with our purchase.

OMG I was so excited when I see the pots of butter at the back. Kawaii!!!!! I remember when I was young, I especially love the scenes when chip and dale use the collected acorns to make their own acorn butter. and they always get bullied by Donald duck or vice versa! hahaha my childhood memory :')

You can even help Chip & Dale make some butter. Fun! I really love Chip and Dale. They are like my favourite! Too bad they're not at home. Guess they went out to collect acorns for winter. lol.

Donald's boat. spot his sailor uniform on the clothes line :D

Didn't get to visit Mickey & Minnie's house because you need to queue to get in there! wth no time to wait :( And you have no idea how long was the queue to just take a photo with Mickey or Winnie the Pooh. More than an hour!!

The worst fact is, it seemed like the locals had the patience to queue. And I don't. Which means that I can continue to dream on having afternoon tea with Minnie in her living room. *see the queue behind us! crazy.

Well, could at least see her from far.. haha

Of course, the iconic building in Tokyo Disneyland: Cinderella's castle ♥ 

There was even a Christmas wreath around the clock! you know, the clock which forces Cinderella to leave as it strikes at 12. lol.

Found something interesting. Is that the gate into the dungeon?

Sun's setting around 4 pm. They have shorter daytime over there. See the huge X'mas tree :) 

We didn't stay longer for the night electrical parade thingy. As I said we were on a tight schedule :( Had to go to other places straight after Disneyland. Guess what, out of all those awesome rides we only managed to go for 2 rides. TWO freaking rides sahaja!! fml again. My heart died straight away when I saw the standby board outside the Monster Inc. ride: 120 minutes from here. >.< and that's like for most of the rides. Can you imagine how many people were there in Disneyland?!

The only thing that was worth our money would be the 2 parades during daytime and also all the wonderful X'mas atmosphere. Oh well, it's not too bad though. I saved so much for my next trip! So by the next time I come again, I will be more pro but won't feel too boring I suppose.



Stay tuned for MORE photos on Disneyland parades during the day. They are just too beautiful that they deserve another post. Sayonara!

Flying off to Sushiland

Mood: Excited :DD


It still feels so surreal now because I've been craving to visit Japan since young. and now, it's like my dream come true. One of my many dreams. haha
 

The best part is that Christmas is just right around the corner! Can't wait to indulge myself in the whole festive atmosphere there :)

Tokyo Midtown Christmas Illuminations
Happy Holidays! 

Maths, wait for me. I'll come back to nail you!  x)

HoHoHoHoliday

, only for a month though.

Term 3 has ended and I am now back in my hometown, Penang.
I'm supposed to have lots of fun this year end but damn, I just can't forgo the fact that Edexcel Maths exams are coming real soon in January. It's super duper important because there are papers that will determine my fate, literally. lol

So i guess my companion for this Christmas would be tons of practice papers, solomon press papers, past year papers etc. whee, how exciting! -.-

'Bling-ed' my calculator with some cheap craft gems. Now that she's so pretty the owner's always feeling enthusiastic whenever she do maths :D

Received these cute X'mas cookies dedication from my dear KTJ friends before end-of-term.
Felt so guilty because I didn't order for them. Blame the character built up from being an economics student. but alas, I did bake some by myself for all my close friends on the last day of the term. Cost effective plus lots of love. Hah! :P

Loving the snowing effect on my blog! ☃
I'm so ready for Christmas :)) Coz I'm going to Tokyo next week!


Have a great holiday and stay tuned ♥

Quality time with family

I felt so grateful. While other people had to carry their own luggages down the stairs and take a cab to the airport, my parents came to fetch me during college's end-of-term. I didn't need to rush on my packing like I used to be and didn't need to worry much.

With parents around, you just feel like you are 10 years younger, ready to 'manja' and be daddy & mummy's little darling.

well, at least I do.

Stayed in KL for a few days before heading home with mum and dad plus youngest sister. (Poor Sherlyn couldn't follow because she was busy with her holiday camp) Sleeping together with my family made me feel so warm. It has been so long since we all squeeze together in a big room.

And then I was thinking...I will be flying off to UK next year (wheee). By the time I come back I will be working in KL and yea... growing up makes me feel nostalgic. Very much in fact. Which is why I kind of cherish every moment spent with my family. I mean, I am going to turn 20 soon!! FML i wanna stay young forever lol.

Nowadays like everyone else, we have this family mutual craving for frozen yogurt like anyone else so we stopped by our all time favourite stall--'Moo Cow'. Simply love the milky flavour! ♥ and somehow we all prefer moo cow way better than the fruity brand one.

Slurpsss :)

**lil sis added koala biscuits that she had in her bag as extra toppings for us. heh how cute!

I look fugly max here. argh.

oh well, never mind it's not my self portrait :P

Was so bored waiting for food and so I played with my camera and the lights.

Hohoho Merry Christmas! hahah :) lil sis is just as cute as always

and woo I think I look quite man here, haha only if I were a guy >:P

Authentic Thai food for dinner with grandparents, uncle and aunt.
It was mum's birthday and tomyam was her favourite so, yea.


Happy Birthday dear Mummy! Congratulations on being promoted and have a great year ahead. Don't worry you will be just fine. Your daughter also can, you sure boleh one! :) oh, hope you will look young forever too! heh


♥♥ lots of love.

Misa Amane for a night

Last Monday was a public holiday and our college's student council and prefectorial board organized a social night based on the theme 'Fright Night'. Some sort of belated halloween celebration in the school.

Have been thinking of what character to play since we prefects first came out with the idea of fright night. Well, many didn't take it seriously but I did. LOL. I mean, costume parties are always fun! Many people dressed up as vampires, devils etc. and as always, I wanted to be a bit different :P

I could have just face-painted myself into a scary zombie or some shit but yea, I wanted to look good. duh. So I thought of Misa Amane from Death Note. She's pretty cute and sexy which I sort of want myself to be like that. chey. A more important fact is that she's 19 years old. Bingo! done.

The problem is that Misa from the manga/anime has blonde hair and wears gothic lolita kinda of clothing. I didn't really want to spend money on getting clothes I won't wanna wear after this and I was not really willing to get a blonde wig. BUT>>>> Misa from the film series was not a blonde barbie! In fact, her outfit varies and is not too erm...extreme lol.

So, tada! This is the outcome. quite nice eh? :)

I guess it's almost zero cost to get this whole thing done. Black dress, stockings and heels were already mine and not newly bought. The only thing I bought was one metre of black ribbons for my hair? which was quite cheap. 

Toy apple was from my house and I made my own Death Note! Wheeeee how cool is that ;)

Let me explain briefly on how to make my own death note prop.

1) Get an exercise book. ( I got it free from the 'kolej shop' lol. can even do maths inside actually)

2) Wrap it with Black Sugar Paper. (again, I got sugar paper free from 'kolej shop'. lololol )

3) Print out the logo of the Death Note and cut out word by word. ( For my case, I was making the 2nd death note owned by Misa thus the wordings are different from Kira's death note)

4) Glue the cut-out wordings onto the exercise book. DONE!

smart leh lol. =)

Was trying to act cool :P  Sexy Hana behind me hehe.
P.S. did you notice that it's snowing? lol new X'mas effect from picnik. Go try!

The Charlie's angels (SS-ing) before the party. I think we all look good here :)

Entrance.
Let's party like there's no tomorrow! yeah ✌

Loving the awesome lightings.

See I so happy. lol.

Thinking of how the hell did I dance with an apple and a death note with me?
haha I just left them somewhere near a corner and went back to take them afterwards. simple as that.

Dancing with a camera was challenging, though. but who am I? Grace what :)

 

Despite my oh-so-sorry height, I think I look kind of chio here.

yeah :) ready for the battlefield.

Awesome KTJ peeps :)

THE END.



I was really proud of myself. Imagine that, dancing with high heels for 2 hours and then walk back to your house. I know,  because I'm cool like that :D  *slaps self*

The party was okay..it got pretty boring sometimes coz it's a school event inside the campus and thus no alcohol was allowed. Meh..........how to get high wor you tell me -.-  but yea, I enjoyed more on dolling-up and chillaxing with your classmates than squeezing with people with wet, smelly armpits.
