.WEATHER IS REALLY GOOD around 19-25 degreeMy first time to Japan in such month, May-June..Official come firstFIRST, started with a site visit at Tsuchiura after after we arrived at Narita airporterr yes very ulu about 1.5 hours on coach to reach here. tired!


Time was so tight that we have to eat Bento while work / meeting.

But I really dun mind if most bento can look like this :)Tempura is alittle cold and not crispy thou ...Rice is too much... :(

Factory visit & it is better not to display everything clearly online in case i leak out some trade secret :p

I looked funny with the helmet....was it too big for me? ahhaaa

.SECOND SITE - SAITAMA areaSo happy to see my my ex boss below :)

blurrer is better :)

3RD SITE finally - NISSAN TANAKA also at SAITAMA area.what a long official day......


FINALLY FINALLYMy happy hours come......We finally can have a real decent meal and drinks @ one Izakaya! Yippie!

People who make me happier are my lovely coordinator in Japan & of cos the ex boss i miss...
Who doesnt look happy during happy hours?? :)

This scene is definately hard to come by!

Dreams will be sweeter tonight :.*********************************************************THE NEXT DAY (29/5) More cheerful look compared to the previous day cos......

It is a sightseeing day!LONG TIME NO SEEASAKUSA....!

While I think i havent come to Asakusa for like 10 years!!

The rows of shops that seems endless is the first place to suck our Yens!

Lunch to let us walk further and faster :)

Kyushu Ramen at Shinjuku area which tasted not bad :)But i still miss that kyushu ramen store at harajuku!......of cos Kansai ones are not bad too yummy yummy....

Oh yes the new Abercrombie shop in Ginza area....featuring a mystery theme..Did u notice they close the main doors & cover the windows?It is filled with darkness when you make your entrance.There are cutey Japanese hunks that goes topless and assist you around and search stuff that you are looking for with aid of torchlights and cute Japlish accent hahaaa...Its true!

Shopping at Ginza will take sometime. shops all big in area size is the trademark of Ginza.Happy hours swing pass so fast.....its bbq dinner for this night.so so.... :(

********************************************************THE NEXT DAY (30/5)Disneyland

Ok I think it should be also about 10 years since I last came here....

To me, Tokyo Disneyland always feel like a kiddo place OR a romantic place where the bf must bring the gf here haha. At least thats what japanese are thinking..So I tot I could get quite bored after a while in this kiddo place since no bf here too.Surprisingly I enjoyed! hahaaHeart of kiddy is in ME ... :) heee


See our excited face? We are all big kids hahaa...



The thing about Tokyo Disneyland...everything seems so well done (fm big to the smallest detail), so perfect here, even the assistants around are so cheerful, so eagar to help & so polite!

capable of finding fun in every little thing woooo.......

Age decrease in here....

Did mention about the frightening experience???.I was too happy and engrossed in shopping in disneyland, the careless me left my wallet in one of the cashier counter unknowingly! And I got this very bad habit of leaving my sling pouch bag open for my convenience..So when i realised the wallet is gone! It probably had been like 15-30mins since it was gone.I dropped my shopping basket with the squeeze of my heart....I almost cried cos it was only like the 2nd day of sightseeing...means i shld still have majority of travel fund in there :( Imagine all cards gone too ?? I will be penniless on the 3rd day!!.I went back to try my luck at the cashier counter where i last paid unless i dropped it somewhere :(.OMG!! The assistant seemed to response with an idea of my pink wallet! My Japanese came out in funny pieces when panic ahaha.. And she finally brought out MY WALLET after some search in their lost and found! I just need to fill up some forms & ans some of her questions to claim it! .This is one thing I like about Japan, most of them are honest and not greedy for such cases.....But i cant take for granted, i have to be really careful no matter where I am.++++++++++++++++++.After all the scares, i bought more things from Disneyland in case i really lost my wallet ahaa

Then its shabu shabu dinner....The beef was really fresh.... yum

.The guys were not hungry but they cant resist when they spotted this push cart ramen right at our hotel area, Ikebukuro... hahaa

So i joined in and tried....not so nice actually....but its like a must to try if you spot such old mobile store ya.

.We shared the big room at Sunshine Prince Ikebukuro. Its really big for a hotel in Tokyo..


++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++.THE NEXT DAYWent to my headquarter as an unplanned schedule :)The new building is really big and so much like those in Japanese drama office :p

GINZA again! Our group must be rich! But i bought a Paul Smith keypouch here which is worth and cool!



Its lunch time.Traditional Japanese food for the day.






Leave Ginza for Shibuya :)

Shibuya is always so young & crowded...

The dinner was hosted by a Japanese partner atEsquire Club, a pte club.Feel likes Izakaya type of food where there are many small dishes of snacks.Not so full to get you ready for endless drinks ;p

.*******************************************************************.THE NEXT DAY - BACK TO SIN
we are supposed to display a sad face but how come not synchronised at all ahhaa

.Oh ya our 2pit SQ flight got problem with their motherboard and got us stuck in the stationery plane for 2 hours!.Napss and movies to kill time........


.Finally flying, otherwise we have to stuck in Japan for 1 more night...I long to be back to have proper sleeps for at least a good week.


Bye Tokyo...Glad to be back home to my sunny island :).
