2nd experience in Tokyo

It has been quite long time I did not update my blog. Since ever I back from Tokyo, friends keep asking me about my Tokyo picture. Embarrassed to tell, I really very lazy to choose, upload, arrange it. So I decided not to do anything at that moment.

But today, after dinner, an hot shower, browsing around in my album, out of sudden, I feel like writing a blog on this trip.

Well, this year Tokyo trip was L’OREAL incentive trip, and it was my 2nd time to Tokyo too. It has been about 6 years since the last time I went to this busy, trendy, high tech and culturally city.

Busy, Tokyo the heart of Japan, with about 12 million population, I think I can call it busy. Imagine if half of the population is driving cars in the city, how serious of the pollution index would there be?

Fortunately, they have this call subway or JR line which I use commonly in Tokyo. Their subway really built in organized, systematic. I would say their urban planning is really good. With about 190 yen, you can take a train from Shinjuku to Shibuya. See , with about RM 6, I can travel to both popular city . Shinjuku, a place for those have higher purchasing power. There have a lot branded boutique, and well known shopping mall like Takashimaya, Isetan. While Shibuya is a place that I am afford to shop there. Moreover, the things there is more trend and youthful. It just like our Sg Wang. And I bought a pair of boot there :)

Shinjuku and Shibuya

I also went to Harajuku from Shibuya. It cost me about 130 yen (RM4). Unfortunately, that day is a raining day. I need to hold my umbrella to walk on the street with my wet Hush Puppies. But the bad weather seem like not a big issue for the Japanese youngster. I saw the girls wearing mini skirt, with full makeup and hair set walking on the street too with the transparent umbrella. Harajuku popular with all the costume dressed up especially during weekends. My day there was Thursday, I did not see any , but I saw the people there were wearing nicely with a lot of effort in the appearance too. And there also a lot of shop that offer nice and cheap dress/ shirt or even the cosplay accessories. It is quite interesting to walking there and looking those stuff which it hardly find in Malaysia where in Harajuku, you can find it easily :)

Harajuku Street

Another Place named Roppogi. A place that well known of its night clubs, bar, lounge. And it is near Tokyo Tower. Since in Tokyo, and this is my 2nd time to Tokyo Tower too, I went there again for a picture. It was a very cool night, raining quite heavily, some more I walk alone all by myself, it was tiring. At the end, I took a picture for full tower on the street, by the way, even I is just underneath the tower, the full tower picture still can’t captured. After that, I was loafing on the street and turn out sitting in a sushi restaurant to have my dinner. And there I bump into few Singaporean and so I have an companion for my dinner :)

Brother 31 yrs old Birthday

Without realization, my 3rd elder brother, Jin Hong is already 31 years old. As every year, my brother birthday is within the chinese new year period, so we celebrate for him as well.

I think is because dad crave for BBQ, so we take his birthday as excuse to make BBQ at home and playing mahjong, as a famiy gathering for us too :)

BBQ chicken, bread, corn.... and they are waiting for food while "mahjonging"

We also invited my uncle and aunt, my sister in law newphew to come over to our house to have BBQ and catching out each other.

Due to some reason, we totally forget about the birthday cake at all for the "birthday kid". so i have to ask Raja to buy a cake when on his way.

note: my text to Raja : "Can help me to buy a cake, 1kg one, a pandan cake, ok ?"

At about 11pm, when i was just finish my shower, my eldest brother, JK was looking for me about the cake. i thought everyone forget about the cake, so i thought no need to take out the cake, but, who know's , JK remember.

What to do already:( we took out the cake, and it was a surprise to everyone. as it is really a Pandan cake. a pandan cake for tea time or breakfast.
