I love Jap food. I feel so much more at home here than I did in the States.. though of course, I still love the US of A...
Went to Shibuya and Harajuku, Sis and I actually managed to get FOOTWEAR. Bought a pair of pretty slippers...
Saw the Freak Show in Harajuku (aka all the uh, cosplayers in their jrock garb) and we actually walked to Meiji shrine to have a look.
ATE THE BEST KRISPY KREME EVER. *love, melts, love, melts again*
Yes, they have my favourite donuts here in Japan. Every brand in Singapore pales in comparison. (Even though j.co is my no-fish-prawn-also-good alternative in Sg, with Munchy's falling in behind and Donut Factory so totally lagging after.)
We were queueing (yes there was a queue for Krispy Kremes) for our yummilicious donuts when one of the shop assistants came out with a tray of piping hot, literally FRESH off the donut conveyor belt original glazed donuts and began handing them out to people in the queue. THE BEST FREE SAMPLES EVER. And the most orgasmic donut experience ever. :D It literally, melted in my mouth - icing, flour, and all. Warm and oh so good. As Sis said, we'll never get such a fresh experience ever again. I mean how often can and will you ever get donuts so obscenely fresh? And Krispy Kremes at that!
Uh okay and thats about the most exciting thing that happened today. Lol.
We exhausted ourselves with so much walking that we stumbled back to the hotel early today - we were back even before 7.30pm.
Gonna turn in early tonight 'cause we've to be up early tomorrow to take the train to Disney Sea. Train system here is like the London Tube. Aka, many, many lines. Many colours. But in Jap.

We're in Tokyo now, which means I'm (almost) back to our timezone. Tokyo's an hour ahead, as compared to LA being 15hours behind. So its time to readjust my body clock back. x_O
Love the service standards here totally. So much better than LAX airport. Bleh. LAX airport needs to behave like one worthy of a major American city.
But well, everything always seems watered down in comparison with Japan - the pinnacle of service standards practically anywhere in the world.
Hotels here are small, as usual. Sis says she feels like she's on a cruise ship (lawl). Cause Japanese toilets are really quite, quite tiny. And there isn't even really much space for me to use Lappy because we have to use the LAN point and I can only go as far as the wires go - which means I'm crouched at the edge of my bed typing this.
Lots and lots of pictures taken (mostly by Sis because she claims she's the better photographer). Proper vacation post sometime later.
Have missed both Mardi Gras and The Zone concert. And I misssssssssssssss church.
Well at least there's Arrow camp coming up in a couple of weeks. Yayness. :) And RT chalet!
I miss all the folks back home. :(
2 more days in Tokyo - will be flying back Tuesday morning. Tomorrow - Shinjuku and Harajuku. Monday - DisneySea!
Oh yes have I mentioned that the bulk of our purchases are probably from Disneyland?
Didn't manage to get many gifts for people cause we didn't really shop this time. So sorry if I didn't get you anything!

I love Disneyland. Although for a couple of moments today I started to feel just a teensy weensy bit too old for the place, the feeling soon dissipated. Well. It definitely is a different experience this time around. The last time I went to Disneyland was when I was 10 years old. And I still totally love being immersed in the atmosphere. It still brings out my inner child (which contrary to popular belief, never actually goes away), makes me highly excitable and causes me to buy loads of cute (and generally stuffed and fluffy) things.
Since I've arrived, my current plushie count is four. My favourite purchase of the trip so far so totally has to be my Reese's Peanut Butter Cups beanie pillow/cushion. Yes, you heard me right. It's rectangular and shaped like a packet of Peanut Butter Cups and its orange and lovely and squishy. :) The other 3 members of the crew are an Eeyore, Pooh and Shamu. I'm such a sucker for these things. So much for my resolution not to buy any more stuffed toys!
Anyway, not that I don't want to put up photos but I'm getting really lazy and sleepy.
Will do a full photolog, uhm, soon.. uhm, eventually.
I loved as much as you will [url=http://www.top-uggsboosuk.co.uk]cheap ugg boots uk[/url] obtain performed proper here. The caricature is attractive, your authored material stylish.

Hello! Don't know how long my batt's going to last. The only 2 two-pin plugs we brought are currently being expended on my Mom's laptop and the camera battery.
The past two days have been awesome. Would've blogged yesterday but was wayyy too tired.
Sis and I went to San Diego Seaworld yesterday without Mom cause Mom was sick (there's something in the water, she claims. So now we've bought distilled water in these big galleons bottles...).
It was amazing. My 3rd Seaworld - after Florida and Aussie. And I still love it. Each Seaworld is unique in its own way even though they all have the same shows and rides.
Seeing these beautiful creatures still take my breath away. *in love*
And today was even more awesome 'cause we went on a Dolphin Safari - we took a boat out into the ocean to see pods of wild dolphins. And they were swimming around the boat and all, leaping out of the water, frolicking around, and there were like hundreds of 'em. Totally awesome.. We didn't get to see whales though they've been spotted in the vicinity the past couple of days. But it was still an amazing experience, riding up front in the hull of the boat while the waves brought us up and down and brought our hearts pumpin' the same way our hearts do on the coasters... getting our feet and board shorts wet and freeeeeeeeezing in the chill of the wind.
Was REALLY hard to get photos (which means we didn't get any) but Sis caught a video of them.
Am not uploading photos now cause I don't think Lappy's ridiculous battery can last long enough for me to blog a thorough entry. (As it is it's been switched on for 10 mins and the battery's already 56%.)
But while it lasts, here are some teasers. (And while it uploads, Lappy groans and moans in flat batt-ness.)
Okay too bad, no photos. *marvels at her laptop's battery life* 0%!!!!! Blog more tomorrow after Disneyland.

Hello, day three now. The most devastating news today is probably the fact that we won't be able to go shopping at our 2nd Factory Outlet destination (oh horrors!). :(
But everything else so far has been good. We were at Citadel Factory Outlet stores today and I bought loads of stuff and got Levi's at a steal...
But was saving up to shop at the 2nd place, so well, now that may not happen.
Sis and I went to Six Flags Magic Mountain yesterday - the first thing I must say about this part of the world towards the end of Spring is that it is SO. RIDICULOUSLY HOT. Its even hotter than Singapore and since its dessert land and there are no clouds - the sun literally just GLARES down at you in its full 28 to 30 degree heat.
Got mild heatstroke/dehydration there and was seriously nauseous and giddy for some time. Took about 5 rides - queues were SO long, but it was fun. :) (Thank God for flash passes!)
Just a couple of pictures - we didn't really take many. Our bags were in the locker most of the time and we were too busy taking rides.
Sis and I are quite conditioned to roller-coasters these days so it takes quite a lot to get us going. But a lot of it was satisfactorily fun. :]
Then we tried to cab back from Six Flags to meet Mom at Citadel Factory Outlet - but we got a bad driver who brought us to DOWNTOWN LA which isn't exactly the safest place to be, especially towards evening - so we got pretty anxious when we tried calling cabs and no one knew where on earth we were referring to and stuff. It was starting to get dark and we'd already been stranded there for over an hour (we paid $100USD for the stupid driver to take us there too. Grr.). Mom finally took a cab down and rescued us and we headed over to Universal Citywalk.
Which was a really nice, happening place to be. Somewhat like the one in Osaka which we didn't really get the opportunity to explore.
(Spoils in my hand: 2 new Starbucks tumblers, one for me and the other for Agnes. And a bunch of Roxy tshirts.)
Ate at a fantastic Mexican restaurant for dinner - forgot to take pictures of the food because we were so hungry. There was a Mexican band and all. The food was really quite orgasmic. And the margaritas were pretty solid too. Good choice. We nearly ate at Hard Rock (ubiquitous to the Universal landscape) but it was full so we ended up with Mexican (I don't even remember the name of the place) which turned out to be a better choice after all! Daddy's good to us. :)
But here's a shot of the band. And we had some lovely fried ice-cream dessert there too.
Today we shopped and came over to San Clemente - we're no longer in LA, technically. Just still somewhere in California. We're staying at a beach resort and it really looks like one of those places out of Baywatch or the OC or something - the kind you can imagine meeting some really hot surfer dude at. (And there are loads of surfers out there hitting the waves. Our resort is by the beach.)
So basically, yes today's shopping trip meant that we decided to forgo going to Universal Studios. We've all already been there at least twice or thrice anyway, though I haven't actually been to the LA one. There's going to be one in Singapore in a couple of years and I can't wait to take on some fun part-time job there. He he he.
And on a side note, I finally tried American Starbucks' idea of what Green Tea Frap is, and it tastes horrible. These people have no clue what Green Tea is. Its tastes like some sort of fruity Tazo tea and the only clue to its Green Tea-ness would be the fact that it was green. Other than that, there wasn't even a hint of green tea flavour to it at all.
Coming back to our resort - we get REALLY lovely sunsets here. We watched it set earlier and it was, wow. The colours were just amazing.
Sis took the shots below and just CHECK OUT THE COLOURS.
Setting sun. Purple, pink, orange.
Post sunset.
Lovely. :)
Well yes. I am enjoying myself very much. I'm not sorry if any of you are jealous because Daddy God wants us to enjoy this holiday - and like I've blogged about before, its so funny how human nature leads us to berate ourselves whenever we're having fun because the devil doesn't want us to think we can be happy by doing nothing. Or by not working.
Well God wants us to sit back, relax and enjoy this holiday. And thats precisely what I'm gonna do. :)

Hello! I'm in LA now. The flight here was 15hours on SQ Executive Economy (which means instead of the usual 3 4 3 economy class seating, its 2 3 2 instead).
Managed to catch like, 5 movies. o_O Or more. Lets see. Fast-forwarded through a lot of Jumper because it was boring. Watched 27 Dresses which OMG I actually liked so much and James Marsden was so totally adorable in with his bee-yoo-ti-ful eyes and cocky smile. Then came Charlie Wilson's War which, as a History student and connoisseur of Cold War history, I well and truly liked and appreciated. Decided to watch PS. I Love You after some deliberation and I CRIED like a wuss at regular intervals through the whole show. AHHHHHH I'm such a girl but I really loved it. Watched a bit of some SERIOUSLY dead boring Japanese show in between as well. And the opening bits of National Treasure 2.
Plane food was good this time around - of course, long haul flights with SQ tend to be more pleasurable. The past few SQ flights have given me disappointing food (ie. Osaka). But this time's was a lot better (double standards!). In fact, as far as I can recall, Thai Airline probably has better food, if not as good, as SQ.
But dinner on the plane was really awesome just because they gave us a Ben&Jerry's BAR ice-cream for dessert and it was FANTABULOUS. Cookie dough ice-cream sandwiched in a layer of chocolate on one side a brownie slab on the other. Sinful dessert bliss.
Well. Then we took ages to clear customs. Landed at 4.15pm - but with customs and waiting for the trasport service to the hotel - we only departed from the airport at 6.25pm.
Got to the hotel over an hour later at 7.50pm. And guess what, we're staying at the Hilton Universal City. Coolness. Was a bit O_O initially upon realization because my family usually gets service apartments or lower end hotels when we travel. Hilton isn't actually our usual travel fare. But it seems like Sis got points from her previous job so our stay here is actually free (leGASP!).
Thank you Jesus for these little luxuries. X)
So we had dinner downstairs. A buffet that could rival the very best Singapore could offer. Some pictures.
Very good sashimi. And Sis and I have tastebuds that have been particularly difficult to please later. And they were, quite pleased. In this shot - clam chower that was so thick it was literally paste. A very powerful chowder indeed. Potent wasabi in the background. A fun salad shot. And my sashimi and a very nicely done sushi wrap thing in very delicate, delicious skin.
The less happening food - which was the only one I managed to take because we finished off the very good lobster, steak, salmon and other misc seafood before I managed to sneak shots of it.
Glorious desserts (the most important part of any meal to me and sissy).
AMAZING Fondue - much tastier than many I've had in Singapore. PLUS white chocolate fondue which would've made Rene go mad. Too bad we aren't big on white choc ourselves.
Dark chocolate mousse which was so RICH it pwned me. Creme brulee, nice bread and butter pudding and decent tiramisu.
The less happening desserts. Decent carrot cake and chocolate mini-cake. The strawberry ones were disappointing.
Didn't manage to sample everything because the spread was LARRRGEEE.. But it was definitely a good meal. :)
We'll only be at Hilton for tonight (its past 1am here) and another night - then we're off to San Clemente for another coupla nights before we head to Tokyo.
Six Flags Magic Mountain theme park tomorrow!!! Roller coasters! Many many many roller coasters!!
