It's 2.30am right now (3.30am actually, after I finished), I have to work tomorrow but I can't sleep. Not until I type this out. This time, I want to talk about something I used to <strike>like</strike> love doing, but I stopped, then I picked up again. It evolved but the essence of it still remains in the evolved form. I'm glad that somehow, I stumbled upon this thing again. And it's called "writing". </p><p><span> I am currently reading a self-help book (I can see the face of a 20-year-old me, so shocked by this. Because I used to HATE self-help books. It's common sense. It's something everyone knows. Oh sweet girl. Young and stupid girl. You think you are wise, but you are not. The world will teach you a lesson. Many lessons in fact. Then you will be humbled and admit your defeat. I digress). A book regarding why I am the way I am right now. How one's childhood can shape the adult. Then, a homework came up. I had to think about what I used to like to do when I was a child. One of the thing that came up to my mind is that I really like writing. </span><br /></p><p><span> I used to read a lot of chick flicks when I was a teenager (as one should). All the "little black dress" series and of course Twilight series. We laugh about it right now but you wouldn't believe how people went crazy over a sparkling vampire and a young hunk that can transform into a giant wolf. I'm glad I read those book, cause it made my vocabulary flourished. I emulated the way the author writes and with that, I eventually created my own writing style. And I don't mean I write novels of my own, but I was mostly writing essays for English classes. And (I don't mean to brag but) I always get really high marks and the teacher(s) always praised me for it. I was really happy and was really proud of myself. But don't ask me write one of those today, I can't, for the life of me, write anything as pretty anymore unfortunately. *sad laugh*</span><br /></p><p><span><span> Fast forward to the end of my middle school years, I started to blog. Everyone started to blog. It was "the thing". This writing was different, because now, instead of writing essays of fiction, I'm writing about things happening around me or write something about me. I'm laughing right now because I remembered I was involved in "The Great Blog War: Which Girl is The Victim". We made quite a big scene in the all-girls school that I was in. It's so stupid but those were the times. Well, that episode gave me a few traumas of it's own but we were all tragic children with our own family problems. Nobody is to blame. It's just side effects. </span><br /></span></p><p><span> Anyway, I stopped blogging after a few years. I <b>blame</b> it on adulting but actually it is <b>thanks</b> to adulting. At some point, I guess we all figured it wasn't actually healthy to put everything online. I'm still trying to limit my social media and how much I share online but it's still all work in progress. I mean, nothing is wrong with posting whatever you want online. It's just, some things are better off not shared publicly because not everybody needs to know and even if they do, it's not guaranteed that others would understand you. I think what I meant to say is, the important factor of deciding about sharing things online, is the objective that you're trying to achieve with it.<br /></span></p><p><span> I used to share everything online because I wanted attention from the world. I want people to want to know me. I want people to see me. I want people to talk to me and like me. I realised later on, that these are all very shallow thoughts. The attention from strangers are nice but it's fleeting. There are no emotional connection just surface-level attention. I feel excited and flattered and it filled my ego <b>but</b> I also feel deflated and empty quickly. I always felt a void inside but I didn't know why. After 30 years of living, I think I finally figured out why. Social media is a double-edge sword. People are so woke nowadays but still, I think many things has to be taken with a grain of salt. On that note, I'm</span> glad that I have a few close friends who I can talk to and be open with today. Because they are the people who sees me as I am and know the deeper and real me. I feel more fulfilled with this kind of connection and I'm grateful for the relationships that I have stumbled upon and also worked on. </p><p> Today, instead of blogging, I have taken up journaling. I have been doing this for a few years, and it's been <b>so</b> therapeutic to me. At first, there wasn't much writing because I wanted to be more aesthetic with my "journals". I struggled honestly, but I still had fun. I get to draw, colour, paint and try new things. Subconsciously, I bought a lot of pens, fountain pens and inks even though I don't write that much. I think eventually whatever I was doing (or buying, hah) led me to the me now. Cause there was another turning point in my life. I started to write more again in the last two months. Like. A LOT. I manage to fill up 64 pages of my travelers notebook insert in less than 2 months. And boy, did i <b>write</b>. I'm going through a phase right now, that's why I turned to writing. It's therapy. I needed it. I needed it so bad. There's just so much going on in my head. I can't believe I did not do this sooner. This is salvation for me. Now, I sound like a mad woman who found her saviour in the form of paper. *snicker* <br /></p><p> Now. I just want to say something cliché. Everything happens for a reason. Even if you think you've lost something, you will find it back in time. <b>If</b> you really want it. You'll eventually find a way, or it <b>will</b> find a way to you. It can appear in another form and you will welcome the change. Or better, evolve with it. I love writing. I also write letters. I love writing letters. There's something about handwritten letters, like I mean, it feels like a person can actually pour their heart and soul through their fingers, a pen and a paper. It just hits different from a text message you know? <br /></p><p><span><span> Where am I going with this? I have no idea. I just wanted to write, is all. I've been in a blogger hiatus since a few years, and I'm still planning to be. But I might just pop up once in awhile to write these kind of random things here. Just for the heck of it. </span></span>It seems like people still come to my blog<strike>, which I am a bit surprised.</strike> I mean I know why they come, because of my free amigurumi patterns that I wrote. Thank you for using them by the way! I'm glad you like my design, I really do. I still do get some nice comments on Ravelry and Instagram for my patterns, and I can't appreciate how kind and nice you people can be. :) </p><p>As a closing, let me share this beautiful quote I saw today on my Instagram feed.</p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">There is nothing to writing.

I don't even recognised it anymore. I haven't been blogging for awhile. I wonder if people still blogs. I have moved on to journalling at some point but I guess that did not went well too cause I stopped again.. Yes, again. I have tried to start journalling twice. Honestly speaking, it did helped me when I was going through some bad times. And it's a little bit more personal, as I get older, I tend to appreciate privacy. Blogs are not private at all. Well, I could set it to private, but then again, it is on the internet. Somebody can still hack into a private blog and leak all the juicy stuff out. Right, as if I'm typing some top secret informations in here to and tempt a hacker to do that. </p><p><span> Why am I here? I don't know. I just felt like typing something. Recently, I felt so compelled to type. Well, XM recently just bought me a nifty keyboard and my fingers are in love. I even got motivated to work more on coding. *laughs*. I am currently not typing on the said keyboard but on our Macbook instead. It's not bad. Well, I just lifted the layer of keyboard protector and it feels so much better now. Ouuhhh.. This keyboard ain't half bad either, I love me a slim keyboard. </span><br /></p><p><span><span> I think my English is deteriorating. I mean I am not talking in English at home, heck even if I do, I'm not using perfect English grammar. And at work, I don't talk much either. I'm mostly dealing with codes and more technical stuffs so grammar are not really needed. I think my speaking is even worse. Honestly, I feel kinda bad. I used to be able to emulate how an American speak but now, I just sound more like a typical Chinese trying to speak good English. I wonder why, I mean I don't even speak a lot of English back in the days. Maybe it's because I'm rarely watching English shows nowadays. More to anime... So maybe my Japanese is better now? Hah, who am I kidding. </span><br /></span></p><p><span><span>Hah, I'm having so much fun here. It's like I'm talking to myself by typing all these down. It's so funny, sad and weird at the same time. I guess I'm starting to appreciate loneliness (which is not a bad thing to be honest).</span></span></p><p><span><span>Speaking of which... I think I'm going to get a bit more serious here on out since we're at that topic. I think back in the days of my "youth", I cared more about how people was treating me or getting really envious of people having really good time with their friends. How do I put it? Hmm.. Like a great sadness and envy envelopes me whenever I see somebody posting some photos showing that they are having a jolly good time with their friends. That's because I rarely have somebody who I can do that with (other than my boyfriend). Honestly, I do feel that way SOME times even now. But I don't let it take over my mind like it used to. I grew to accept how things are and learn to appreciate them. Truth to be told, I don't really like hanging out a lot either. That explains why I don't really have much friends to hang out with. I am very picky with the people I choose to hang out with too. It's tiring to socialise ya know. It takes effort to think of something to talk and to please the other person. And it's super rare to be able to find somebody who I can be totally myself and just speak nonsense. </span></span></p><p><span><span>Speaking of that, I think I have multiple personalities, like I behave differently when I am out with different people. I don't know how to explain it. It's like... my brain just automatically choose to behave in a certain way depending on who I am with. Most of the time, I think I just behave in a way that pleases the other person? And not like.. do something that can cause myself to be on their bad side.. At least I try to. It's so weird. I realised this at some point, but I couldn't stop myself from behaving that way. And some times I felt so embarrassed after I did something out of character then my brain would replay that scene again and again and I just feel really bad in the end (for myself). Some times, I talk like an airhead, but funny thing is, I realised that but I continued on anyway cause I know some people think I'm more approachable or likeable that way. Then some other times, I can be haughty and talk less, when I don't want to get close to the person. It's just weird when I think about it, but what's even weird is, doing it without realising it then AFTER that I began to analyse my own actions. Wow, this is becoming so creepy when I am typing this all down. Maybe it's just instinct to win brownie points with people. </span></span></p><p><span><span>I wonder how I am in other people's mind. Like how they interpret me. Since I myself felt like I behave differently. But at least I do know how the true me is like. Cause it is very tiring to be "not" me, it's like I am constantly acting when I am around people and it just tires me out. Maybe that's an introvert thing. Therefore, in my recent years, I prefer to be... alone or at home. Where I do not need to think how to act or what to say. I just.... do whatever and say whatever that comes to my mind. Like right now actually, in this random post of mine.</span></span></p><p>Covid is such a weird time. It sucks being stuck in this small country which is actually also a city. I yearn for my time with nature, but the closest thing I can get here is man-made hiking trails. Hah.. After this is all over, I want to have my time with mother nature. Recently I have been watching this anime about camping in Japan. It's called Yuru Camp. It's a chill anime, I need a chill anime once in awhile. Too much hardcore theme will break my brain. Oh, and about this anime, it kind of makes me want to try camping. Was thinking of maybe trying to camp here first in Singapore even though the weather is humid af here. But gotta start somewhere right? Before camping in the cold 🥶. </p><p>Okay, I think that's enough for today. If you're reading this, you're weird or creepy. Are you that interested about what I have to say?? Then again, the only main goal I am posting this to the public is to let other people read it. Is this like reverse psychology or something? Okay, enough of all this philosophical nonsense. </p>drunkwithcaffeinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15140783438627769124noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2136641266503367402.post-26412120290681150012019-08-27T14:02:00.001+08:002019-08-27T14:09:51.993+08:00Diving Trip Cebu March '19 | Thresher shark highlight<div style="text-align: center;">

Yes, I have officially stopped blogging. I feel like I shared too much about my life. Funny for me to say that, because I am still posting this thing right now. Just thought I would at least share the travel vlogs (which I did not make for this trip, but my friends did!) so that I can look back at it when I feel like it. I would like to share more details but 5 months have already passed and this trip was kind of a package diving plan trip + canyoneering tour in Cebu.<br />
<br />
Blah.</div>

I've been interested in clay art for awhile now, but I've only really done like a few items before. Mostly following some youtube videos. I still have a bunch of clay in my drawer from few years ago. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I saw this promotion for clay art class on Fav app at <a href="https://floraclayonline.com/">Flora Clay</a> I thought it was a good idea for a date. Sorta. Since we can do it together with proper guidance and more tools.</div>

And on the same day, we went to Nobuo Uematsu Sensei's concert! I've always wanted to attend one especially the orchestra version but since he is personally performing this time, I cannot pass this chance up. The performance was magical although most of the songs played are battle songs. </div>

Did a short weekend trip to Penang with friends! It's also been awhile since we went on a trip together. Thought it might be a good idea to spend some time for a food trip since we never been there together. I kept a <a href="http://drunkwithcaffeine.blogspot.com/2014/07/penang-food-list-2014.html">Penang Food List from 2014</a> but I am afraid it is a bit tad outdated. There's so many new cafes popping up and also many old places that are yet to be explored. But in those short 2 days, I can't possibly review much places.</div>

This picture was taken in a hidden cafe called <b>Whisk</b>. The only thing worth mentioning about in this cafe is that well... it's quite "instagrammable". It's good if you like taking ootd kind of picture. The deco was subtle and homey. Unfortunately, as for the desserts and drinks, it was really bad. They do look nice (even the illustrations on the menu), but it tasted borderline bad. </div>

Second snack/dessert place we visited was at 92 Armenian Street serving all kinds of food with bird's nest. If you like heritage kind of atmosphere, this is a good place to go. However, it can be quite pricey! Since the main star is "bird's nest". Again, food was also just mediocre but at least they are serving something different. The cafe can be very crowded too but they do have a lot of seats. </div>

I think the coolest place we've been to is this hidden bar called <b>Manchu</b>. I simply love how they partition and deco-ed this place. It reminded me a lot of the old chinese movies that I watched before. Even the waitress and waitresses are dressed in traditional outfits like Cheong Sam. There's also a live band here. It's quite difficult to get a good place there so I suggest people to go early. I didn't take too much pictures there as I didn't think it would do this place much justice. So, it's really a lot better if you go there and see for yourself!</div>

Okay, some short random notes in this section. Regarding the muscat that I found in Dondondonki. I was so excited when I saw them. Just looking at them reminded me of the sweet juicy and fragrant smell I once taste and experienced in Japan. It costed like around 30$ for one bunch. And you know what, that was a waste of money. These taste like grapes! It's not muscat at all. I've been conned. *cry* Never ever buying muscat again outside of Japan. </div>

So, Iceland trip happened in the month of October. And within those 2 weeks that we were there, we only manage to catch the Aurora on one night. Luckily we did, I would be so sad if we didn't at all. I just posted two vlogs so far. I am not sure if I will write a blog post for it. But let's see. Maybe I will just do a master post and put all the vlogs there. </div>

And this also happened on a random fine day. I have thought of cutting my hair short for quite a long time now. But didn't quite find a suitable time and place to do so. I don't know which saloon to go to. Then, I went along with my boyfriend to his usual saloon for his haircut. And there and then, I decided to chop it off. The hairdresser did made a fuss about it and didn't really want to cut it for me but I manage to persuade her to do it. Well, not persuade, basically just <i>made</i> her do it. The result were great. Even she said so, admiring her own work. </div>

I think I look really chic right now. Lol. The only downside is that I have to blow-dry my hair if I don't wait it to curl the wrong way. </div>

Today's cat special, only Grey's photos. Because he is the silly one. Although Bianca is also very cute but I couldn't manage to take photos of her being so adorable. Enjoy!</div>

Even though I have utilize all my leaves, I managed to take one unpaid leave for this trip. We didn't planned for a high-cost diving trip this year as we were going to Iceland soon this year end, therefore we just tagged along for a cheap and nice dive trip. I love Perhentian. I actually took my Open Water and Advanced there with Ethel Toloni, my then-instructor at Seahorse. This time, we didn't go back there. We were with Turtle Bay Divers since we got a cheap package at MIDE. </div>

If you're expecting pictures of sea creatures, sorry to disappoint, underwater photography is not my thing. I leave that to my boyfriend with his GoPro. I can't think of a memorable creature... just a lot of giant puffer fish in this trip and a lot of the common fishes. Oh, I'm so lazy I didn't bother to write into my dive log anymore. Unfortunately, I don't know the count of my dives too. That is kind of bad. I'm not inspiring anyone to do the same. I think having a log book is great. It just that I finished mine, and I don't want to buy a new one. I printed some myself but I never did bind them together, so it's kind of hard to bring along.</div>

I'm back to blonde again. This time, I bleached my hair myself. I figured it was way cheaper for me to do it at home but it <b>was</b> time-consuming. But anyway, even if I did went to the saloon, it's hard to make a last-min appointment in Malaysia.. for a good saloon I mean. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
These are the things I bought online mostly and the cost of each item. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>

</ol>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I bought 7 boxes for 3x bleach attempt. Used 2 boxes for my black hair part, twice. Then I used 3 boxes for the whole hair on the third time to get rid of the old hair-dye colour. I bleach once every 2-3 days, because I usually do it at night and it takes quite a long time to bleach every time. The bleach is good, but with 3x I didn't get the colour that I wanted. It was still a bit too dark for me. Some of my hair was becoming so brittle, it feels like thin noodles. Those easily came off when I brush them. I kind of panicked but luckily it didn't fall off in chunks and it was okay after a few days. Then I proceed to tone with La Riche and dyed pink. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
La Riche is <b>shit</b>. Don't buy them, the toner felt like it only lifted a bit of the yellow colour. It wasn't as strong as Wella's (T18). The hair dye? <b>WORST. </b>My hair wasn't pink at all, it gave an orange tint instead to my newly bleached hair, and just a tiny little itsy bitsy pink on my old bleached hair. It was so bad.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The last two items that I bought are mostly for maintenance. Olaplex did help, I felt my hair was stronger and smoother after a few times of using it. The purple shampoo was also working for me, my hair wasn't as yellow. I used this once a week for both. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then I actually bought a second batch of items... Because my roots were growing fast, and I want to dye my hair again. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ol>
<li><a href="https://www.otsstore.com.sg/">Matrix Light Master 500g bleach powder </a>- 21.90$ </li>
<li><a href="https://www.otsstore.com.sg/">Wella Charm Toners T18 (2 bottles)</a> - 25.80$</li>
<li><a href="https://www.otsstore.com.sg/">Wella Charm Creme Developer 20 volume 32oz</a> - 28.90$</li>
<li>LimeCrime Hair Dye - 26.90$ x2 - 53.80$</li>
</ol>
<div>
I think I was more hardcore the second time, I was not using any kit anymore. <strike>I was ready to open a saloon in my house.</strike> I figured it was cheaper to buy a big pack of bleach and developer if I want to maintain my blonde hair. But after doing a root touch-up and a 4th bleached on my previously black/bleached hair.. I already feel like giving up. It was really tricky especially doing the back of my hair (practically impossible without 2 mirrors or a person helping), and I kept touching my old bleached hair, so some of them melted and my whole head feels frizzy and noodle-like again. Not only that, my root is now super patchy. So I went over it again but only doing the black hairs. Then I didn't care anymore, I proceeded to tone it. </div>
<div>
Though I have to say I did like my present hair even though it's like touching dry grass. I think after a few tries of doing hair mask and Olaplex, it should be okay. I'm going to dye it again this coming weekend. Can't wait to try! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Anyway, the total damage was <b>69$</b> for my first bleach and dye attempt, maybe around <b>100$</b> for the touch-up and whole head dye attempt. Minus the leftover bleach powder and developer of course. I still have them on hand for future bleaching.. if I ever felt like it again. Lime crime is super expensive, maybe because it's only sold in the US. Not much resellers here yet, therefore it was a bit *kaching*. But I saw that it really gives very vibrant colour pay-off from a friend of my brother's so thought of using it.</div>
<div>
I think I'm very proud of meself now, I saved like half of my money by doing this at home. I remember paying RM550-600 (like around <b>200$</b>) for bleaching and dying my hair last time although the end-result is more even.. but I don't mind since I'm paying a lot less now. </div>

Went for a date at the zoo during Rainforest Lumina. Basically, you go into the zoo, without any animals and there's a lot of light installation. It felt sort of like Avatar or an elf town at night. It's not amazing but it's definitely interesting. We took like a whole hour to complete the walk. An hour is not too much because we were also stopping here and there to take pictures. </div>

Unfortunately, since this is me being me, I had to complain.. about this thing that the other visitors was doing. I do not understand why some people take these photos with flash. I mean, what's the point??? These installations are best seen in dark places not with flash. That defeats the purpose?? What was the aim here? A photo with your oily face and shitty background? Babe, you can do that anywhere, don't do it here. Cause these people are ruining it for everyone who wanted to enjoy the view without being bombarded by flashes here and there. Not only once or twice okay.. like 1243423x times. </div>

I was on Keto for 4 weeks (less actually, since I was practically half-assing it on week 4 and eating food that ain't low on carb some times because outside food). The ingredients was quite expensive because I'm mostly referring to western recipes... Meaning a lot of cheese, mayo, and some fancy spices. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Anyway, I'm mostly following this <a href="https://www.merakilane.com/ketogenic-diet-plan-weight-loss-7-day-keto-meal-plan-menu/">7-days meal plan</a> for the whole 4 weeks. </div>
Out of all these that I've tried, <a href="https://alldayidreamaboutfood.com/paleo-low-carb-thai-chicken-zoodle-soup/">Thai chicken zoodle soup</a> and the <a href="https://therecipecritic.com/creamy-tuscan-garlic-chicken/">creamy tuscan garlic chicken</a> were delicious! I don't mind going keto over these yummies.<br />

Anyway, I did lose <b>some</b> weight from keto, like around <b>1.1kg </b>in those 4 weeks. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then, I did a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/SmoothieSlimDetox/">12 days fruit detox</a>, which I lost another <b>1kg</b>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then, I ate like a madman for a week, and gained back <b>2 kgs </b>now. I don't know why I made myself go through this when I can just eat like normal and just stay the same weigh. LOL.</div>

Despite that, I did feel a lot more confident in my body in those short time when I was a lot lighter. At least I don't feel like sh*t that much like before. I still don't feel like one right now though. So, maybe it was good after all?? I don't know. But keto does work if you can resist carbs for a long time. I can't. I live for rice and bread. Even though I am avoiding them mostly. </div>

And I was craving for afghan biscuit for quite awhile, I made them and finished most of them. No wonder I gained back my weight. And do you see that golden goodness on the right? Great butter chicken at Sim Lim Square. Thanks to my colleague who introduced it to me. I'm missing out so much during those diet. Why are good food unhealthy?!?!</div>

I decided to start back crocheting and teaching some tutorials online now. I'm mostly focusing on SkillShare right now, I thought of YouTube too but.. I don't know, it feels a bit too hard to get it known but maybe I shall upload it on both. SkillShare has a standard to follow for all the classes, so it might be good for me to really force myself to plan the videos in a better way. <strike>I got striked the other day for half-assing my class</strike>.</div>

I also went crazy over some new hobbies that I picked up. Journaling, watercolour, and stamping. Then I bought a lot of stuff.... Which I used like once or twice, and is now resting in my cupboard. HAHAHA. Even journaling, I have been very active in the first week, but now going to the 4th week, I don't know what to write in there anymore because nothing much is happening in my life. So, I don't have anything to write. I think it is not good for me to force myself. So I'll forgive myself for not scribbling in everyday. </div>

My first watercolor attempt. Learnt via Youtube tutorial. I don't know if it's my brush or the paper or the water colour brand that I bought. The quality of the colours looks so different from the one I usually see those pro water colour artist using. I am still not ready to splurge on expensive tools though. </div>

I wonder how I arrange my timing for all of these. I think mostly that is why I procrastinate my dreams and more pressing hobbies that I should focus on. But anyway, I'm going to do a quick.. review I guess. Not that many people come and read but I'm just doing this for fun. If you're not a gamer, you can skip this section. This is only for the nerds. </div>

Dissidia NT is utter bullcrap, there wasn't any "story mode".. Well, technically there is, but unfortunately, it really is, just stories. Like literally. You don't get any fighting stage in order to proceed. You <b>need</b> to play free tournament mode, to get this.. this.. key to unlock the story which only really tells you the story/plays a video. Do you get what I mean? Anyway, I played the old Dissidia before on PSP, and it was way way different. But this one, the graphic isn't even that great and then they decided to change how to play the game. You know what sorry, but after playing for like 3 rounds, I didn't feel like continuing anymore.</div>

Ni No Kuni II was something special for me. But #1, Studio Ghibli is involved in this project, therefore I already fell in love before I played the game. Luckily the game did not disappoint and they delivered. Easily clocked in 80+ for this (if you are also doing the side quest, and maybe more if you want to collect them all). I only finished the story but I did not aim to do all the extra side quest at the end. It's quite unique on it's own and it kind of gives me the nostalgic PS2 RPG game system which is nice. </div>

Another great game! God of War truly lives up to it's expectation. I've played the older one before on PS2, it's very different but yet they still retain some important stuff. I love the combat system, how you can unlock and upgrade the skills (it's using XP now instead of souls, not as menacing now). Most of all, I like the father and son interactions. Most of the dialogues are so funny even though Kratos is not.. but that's what makes it funny. I finished this game quite fast but again, I did not finish the extra side quest. Just didn't feel like it after I finished the main story. </div>

Yonder is like a survival game/harvest moon-ish with a very open world, no specific story line. You have to find out what to do yourself, and the world they have is SO big. Unfortunately, I find some of the objectives very.. directionless. Like the game itself. And the travel ruin is a bit confusing for me. It's a good game if you want to waste time on. But it doesn't have a storyline. </div>

Just Dance 2017 is fun! I think my mum and aunt enjoyed this more than me. It gives 60days of free access to online music but I find the Wi-Fi system on the switch so bad, that it always have error accessing the server. Therefore, always quitting in the middle of a song, which is very annoying. Not much music on the physical game itself but it is still a fun multiplayer game to have. </div>

Zelda... Ah, the most raved game on Switch. I think it still is. I could easily clock in 100+ on this game. Although the system is now very different from the one I knew. You know simple menu, simple items, simple fighting system.. Yeah, all of those are gone. You have now creatures you can catch, big and small monsters to kill, mini-bosses you can find loitering around the world, fruits to collect, food and elixir recipes to cook for different reasons, equipment to buy and upgrade and they all have different abilities, oh and weapons that constantly break so you have to find a new one. I mean I love everything but I just hope the weapon doesn't break easily. Because it's hard to find strong weapons in the game to help you survive. Even the puzzle stage is different now. Instead of knowing where to go, you have to find it yourself. A lot of side quest too which is also quite engaging. Open world is also <b>huge</b>. I have played the game for like 2 weeks, and I have only discovered maybe 40% of the map.</div>

Though I still have a few more games I haven't started, I got my hands on Nier. Because I just felt like it. It was selling for 35$ which I thought was cheap but recently I checked again, somebody was selling for 30$. Ugh.. Well, nvm. I'm still not planning to start yet. I feel like I should finish Zelda first before I get started. Good luck to me. </div>

My last musical that I went to was 3 years ago in London. Actually, I think The Lion King was actually showing in London that time, but my aunt couldn't get a seat for us so we went on to another musical instead. It was my first time and I find it to be brilliant (trying to sound posh here). And this year, they made their way to Singapore. </div>

Actually, at the beginning of the year, Isabelle did asked me if I wanted to go together then it went quiet for awhile. Then she came and ask me again in July. It was last minute, but let's be honest. Last minute plannings are the one that always works best. So, we bought tickets and met there! </div>

I had goosebumps and I did cry a bit. The Mufasa death scene always gets me. Anyway, they did tweak some conversations to suit Singaporean audience, I think that was clever of them. It was very nostalgic hearing some of the classic songs from the movie and also a few new songs but I still prefer the old ones. Maybe because of the familiarity. </div>

We only made it to the first hill, then the cloud was looking very ominous, so we went down after. It was raining a bit during the journey back down. The climb was okay but climbing down, man, that was another level. But I feel relieved that my foot was working well now. </div>

I don't know why I wanted to go to the Singapore Museum Maybe because it was something that we could do for a date without spending too much. It was free entry anyway. We went on a weekday night too. I didn't know Singapore Museum was closed, so we had to make out way to 8Q building which was just nearby. It's small compared to the original museum and I think we only spent like 30mins or so looking at all the galleries they have. There wasn't much to see. </div>

He is so busy these days I only see him for like half of the month since he is always travelling out of Singapore. And when he is in Singapore, both of us are out working and usually he comes back late in the evening. I think I am reacting to it better now, since I have my cats, my games, and my hobbies. It keeps me occupied and less time to overthink things. Maybe it is better this way... Okay, maybe a bit too personal. </div>

'Tis was my first time in Hong Kong this time. Honestly, I do not have a strong desire to explore Hong Kong because of it's notorious culture of being rude to tourists. Though I have to say, it was so much better than I have expected, maybe time has changed HK and it has mellow out? We didn't experience anything bad in our trip. No bad-mouth waiter or waitresses scolding us, but maybe just a friendly banter with one or two. The city itself, it has a certain character I have to say. Tough gangster-ish vibe that I often see in Cantonese movie. Other than that, it is quite similar to Singapore I feel. The bus and MTR.. and of course the crowd rush.</div>

I didn't take much photos on this trip, therefore I can squeeze my whole 5 days trip in one single post today. But I did take a lot of videos and I made vlogs out of it. Vlog is kind of like my new thing that I am doing right now whenever I am travelling but I don't talk in these videos. I still feel quite uncomfortable talking and explaining to air while holding my phone out. And I think I sound funny, not nice to hear. HAHAHA.</div>

On our first day there, we went to the Victoria Peak because it was a good day and we were afraid that it might rain the next few days as the weather report says. And you know what? It didn't rain until the last day of our trip. Lady luck was on our side!</div>

As you can see, the queue was quite crazy. It was crazier up there, because of the amount of people that needs to go home in the evening. We of course took the bus down instead of the tram. </div>

Witness real-life struggles that HK bus driver have to put up with everyday. There was this China lady that was asking some stupid touristy questions to the bus driver. Which I think it's plain stupid. And she was so persistent. The conversation happening in front of me was so funny because you know I manage to witness how Hongkie scold people. Unfortunately it was in Cantonese, so I don't think the China lady understood what he said. Then finally, the bus driver just ignored her all the way, no matter what the lady asked. She even asked me, but I just whatevered her. It was so entertaining. Hahahaha.</div>

I find it really odd that it's kind of a culture there that you can have pasta + ham + chicken stock for breakfast. I mean pasta is italian... and it's not even tasty! But perhaps it does fill you up since it is wheat after all. The egg was super fluffy though. We loved it!<br />

We went to Montane Mansion for some pictures. And unfortunately this is what we saw. Apparently, since Feb 2018 (or March?) there has been this notice warning tourist not to disturb the residents living in that area. Yes, Montane Mansion is actually not a tourist attraction (even though the internet thinks it is), it's actually a residential place where you can see many tourist posing for a photo in front of other people's home. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I feel bad for taking photos even after reading the notice. But since we are there anyway. What's the harm of taking a few photos? I mean I do that everywhere anyway. Of course, as long as we don't do something stupid like disturb the residents by climbing on their stuffs, blocking the pathway or shouting like an idiot. </div>

Experience a true dim sum experience at Lin Heung Tea House, although there wasn't much dim sum to be honest. But perhaps the one that I have experienced are the modified version of the original.

I think one of the most common thing to do in Hong Kong is to visit the Harbour at night. We missed the light shows but it wasn't really one of the thing we had in mind to do honestly. City attractions is not my thing, just saying. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I feel like there isn't much things to do in Hong Kong, but I would actually go there again just for the food. And yes, even though the food there are mostly bread, maggi noodle, or pasta. There aren't that bad. I really like the pudding though (which actually can be easily made at home but the exact texture and taste, I cannot replicate). There's just too much food that was recommended but we didn't try. But I am obliged to go on a diet after the trip.</div>

I think I don't even know how to blog anymore. It feels like I'm going to leave out a lot of stuff that has been happening for the past two months. Or maybe not..? There's only a few major interesting events to talk about anyway. I think I am mostly at home with my PS4 even when I am free or even in the weekend. Anyway, who is still reading my blog? Wait, the better question is, who still read blogs? I don't even read blogs anymore, to be honest. More or less, I will occasionally search for blog post if I needed some information for my travels. Other than that, I really do not care (mostly about how other bloggers live their lives). If you are reading this, I am not even sure why you care about how I am living mine??? Oh, funny thing it is, innit? And yet, here I am writing a public blog post that can be accessed by a million others on the internet (if they know how to find my blog). The irony. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I'm not sure what I am on right now. I always go off track and trying to sound like I have really deep thought, when the truth is, it's just random stuff flowing out of my brain that doesn't mean anything. Not really deep, maybe, just random, mostly.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
Right right, I digress.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I'll continue on with my... stuffs. I'm sure the total number of words in the paragraph above far exceeds the one that I am going to write in the sections below. I guess picture tells a thousand words, or so I've been told. </div>

I found this place solely because I saw one of my very good friends was sharing pictures or videos of some unique leaf dish on her igstory. (Yes, it's all about the igstory nowadays, if you don't have one, you do not matter <b>*heavy sarcasm</b>). She told me it was a seasonal dish and the experience of eating that leaf was so unique that it felt like eating somebody's tongue. It sounds so dirty..... yet it made me went there to celebrate mother's day. HAH. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And you know what, since it is seasonal, it wasn't served on the day that I went there. Oh tough luck. But it's fine, the other dishes were really good and it's really satisfying to look at too.</div>

I guess it's sort of like a Japanese fine dining experience? Since they decorate it so nicely but I think the price was not too expensive considering how it was presented. You can check the <a href="https://www.hisho-jap.com/promotion/">menu</a> out. The food are all great but what stands out to me was the garlic fried rice and the soft shelled crab. I know, I think I'm just a sucker for rice therefore I really liked their fried rice. </div>

I'm actually researching for how to cook a <b>good </b>fried rice. Hey if you guys think it is easy, well, I do urge you to try. I always make soggy fried rice which is the one thing I want to avoid but I don't know how to. I even tried the leftover chilled rice method. Still doesn't work. I think I'm going to under cook or use less water for my rice in the next attempt. </div>

Was in Thailand for a short weekend on the 19-20th May. Weekend trip sounds tiring, well it is, and you get zero rest in between two weeks of workdays. The sole reason I went there was because my flights were sponsored. My partner was there for a week or so for some exhibition, so he thought it was a good idea to treat me to a short trip. Now that I think about it, it was nice of him to do so. I didn't thought much about it until this moment, now that I am typing away the reason that I was there. He's so busy these days, I only see him maybe 1-2 days per week. But I think I am already accustomed to his absence. I am not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing to be honest. Even when he is back, I tend to do my own stuff and he, the same. I guess that is what happens when two has been together for quite awhile. Gosh, I think this is too personal for me to share to everyone. </div>

And yes, thank you to my boyfriend for sponsoring my flight tickets and accommodation for those 3 days and 2 nights. Flew over to Bangkok on Friday night and on Saturday, followed my bf and his partner to their exhibition lot and toured the place for awhile. The scale of the exhibition is quite impressive though. Then I went out on my own because my boyfriend and his partner has to mind the booth until the evening. </div>

I think this is my first trip overseas after my surgery. I've not been walking a lot since the beginning of the year. So, walking a lot in Bangkok was kind of taking a toll on me. The bright sun wasn't helping much either. I actually wanted to walk to The Commons but it was quite far away from Thong Lor. After a quick search on foursquare, I decided to go to this cafe called Mocking Tales. It's quite a find, I must say! I was in love with everything in there, the interior, the menu, the food, and also they have costumes so that customers can try them on and take pictures. I saw a group of 3 person who was actually there for some shooting I guess? </div>

All of the dessert looks simply magical but unfortunately I do not think I can finish them alone. So, I opt for something small. I asked the waiter to give some recommendation, and this is what I got. I forgot the name, sorry, there's photo reference so I think it's all good. It was a bit too much for me since I ate a whole lot before going there. Can't wait to go back there again to try out other stuff with le bf. </div>

Then, I visited House of Lucie, a group exhibition that showcases the works of top photographers in the world. Yes, that is the famous National Geographic photo that awed the whole world. It was near the cafe, and I had nothing to do, so I went there to take a look see. It wasn't easy to find. The entrance was pretty humble sliding door on a side of a building and also the exhibition is on the second/third floor.

It's so stupid now that I think about it, that we fight over picture taking. LOL. I was complaining to my bf that he did not take much picture of me whenever we go out. Unlike the photos what we often see people (mostly girls) post online, they always have picture perfect poses and scene.. and importantly a photographer, else the picture wouldn't even exist. So I started to complain, then my bf complained that I did not know how to pose. Great. This is just another never ending argument that we will have. Another one to the basket. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To my defense, I am perfectly awkward around cameras and I am thoroughly embarrassed when there are passersby looking at me while we are at it, but who wouldn't want a picturesque photo of themselves? I would prefer it to be candid though, since there isn't a need for awkward posing. It's all natural but only the pros (photographer) can do it nicely. Oh, what have society made us do. It is now the era of perfect travel photos with clever backgrounds. It's really is rather silly and even made me embarrassed after the fight. </div>

Then we went to visit the museum. We actually planned to go to Chatuchak market with his partner (and wife), but they were quite tired around noon so they went back to the hotel (they are quite elderly, therefore). It might sound really bad of me, but thank goodness, because I didn't want to go to Chatuchak, they were quite neutral to that place too but my bf kept telling them that they should visit it if they have never went there before. I think they are not fond of the idea of walking under the hot sun (well, me neither).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I mean Chatuchak is great, but... I ended up buying loads of useless things from my first visit. I bought too much tank tops and t-shirts which I only wore a few times, then they were untouched. The place is especially crowded in the weekend, which I am absolutely terrified of. So, thank gawd for that. </div>

I've been reading a few books (only a few) and buying <b>f load of games</b> recently. Mostly because of my newly acquired Nintendo switch that my bf bought for me (YAY, but he only sponsored bomberman which I'm not really a fan of.. but it was cheap, sold near the shop that we bought our Switch in HK). We got a second hand one but we found out that the console was originally bought in April, which is quite new and we only got it for 1680HKD (around 292SGD) which is a steal! Normally a new one cost like 420$!</div>

If you're interested in having a look at the store when you are in HK, I don't have the address but this is a <a href="https://www.google.com/maps/@22.3157241,114.1719449,3a,75y,5.18h,98.03t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sXIkopL-W5E6wPZega5nauA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656">street view from google maps</a>.

Total damage 349$ - 82.5$ (subsidized by my bro for some games) = 266.50$</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
With 8 games, I think<b> 266.50$ is not a bad figure.</b> Since I mostly buy second hand games too. The only new one I bought was Ni No Kuni II and Yonder because they were on sale and it was cheaper than second hand. With so little time on my hand, I wonder how I am going to play everything... Buy first think later mindset. Gah... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Anyway, Dissidia is really bad.. I was expecting more out of it. I am a diehard FF fan, but this is below my expectation. I think I'm going to sell it off soon. Ni No Kuni II is amazing! Love the Studio Ghibli style and the gameplay. It's very rare to find something this good anymore! I'm playing this everyday nowadays. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Yonder is also quite addictive, it's more like an open world/survival/harvest moon kind of game. Just Dance is...well, self explanatory. My mum loves it more than me. All other games that are not mentioned, I haven't played yet.</div>

// Castle in the Air</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
// House of Many Ways</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Basically I finished the whole trilogy of the Howl's Castle series by Diana Wynne Jones. I love Howl's Moving Castle and House of Many Ways. They are both very very entertaining and also quite humorous. Howl and Sophie are always here and there, it's so funny how they interact with each other. Castle in the Air however, was lacking a bit. But I still enjoyed it. </div>

<b>Currently reading</b> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
// Nothing to Envy by Barbara Demick </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Recommended by a friend. The book talks about real life story in North Korea. I just started this book few days ago, it's quite an interesting read. It's like a whole different era there. But I am thoroughly amazed by how the citizens are brain-washed and think that their dictator is simply a gift from god. It's a pity, since they have no exposure, they would believe everything that was being taught to them since young. But to control the masses by this method.. it's a bit horrifying. Anyway, I highly recommend this book to everyone too!</div>

Finally, I tried Luge! I never knew it existed until the beginning of this year. But unfortunately, when I found out, it was after my toe surgery. Therefore have to postpone the activity until I get much better. Now that it's already 6 months after, I went there with my mum and bf. Since she was visiting, thought we could go try together too. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It was 25$ per person for 4 rides and another 12$ extra for priority queue. <b>Please do not buy the priority queue pass, it is rubbish.</b> We didn't know about this until our 3rd ride. Apparently the priority queue is the same queue as second-or-more rider. Basically meaning, anyone who has taken luge ride, can queue in the same place as priority riders. Which means... <b>the priority pass doesn't do anything impressive</b> but maybe advantageous for the first ride, but I still do not understand the logic to this. Basically, it's cheating money from customers. The queue was long either way, with or without the priority pass. We only knew this too late. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After all that complaining, Luge is quite fun if you minus all the noobs on the track that rides with 5km/h speed who is also blocking the whole road. Tourists are the dumbest people on Earth. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Would I go again? Maybe... if there are no queue, then I shall consider. </div>

It's quite a rare chance for me to go back alone to my own home. Usually, I am far too lazy or I am always back with my bf. I know I have a choice of not following him, but since he is always not around at home, I thought it was a sound idea to follow him during the weekend when he is available. This time, it was convenient, because I was back for my doctor's appointment so I asked Ann and Aleena if they have free time. Luckily they were! </div>

It's so refreshing to go out with the girls. I miss this, and I think I rarely have chance to do this. Maybe because I don't have anyone that close in Singapore or perhaps I am far too shy (or don't want to, if I am honest) to ask them out. Hahahaha! I'm only comfortable with a small number of people. </div>

Will be writing another post for my HK trip! But not much I guess, because I didn't take a lot of photos, but mostly videos for my vlogs which consist of mostly food videos. Till then!</div>

Batam is just a short 45 mins away via ferry. I thought it would be an inexpensive trip, but I was so wrong. Most probably because it's more touristy than the other parts of the country.<br />
<br />
Okay, let me breakdown the main expenses.<br />
$ = SGD<br />
<br />
Turi Resort, Riani Deluxe Beachfront (Agoda) - 238.99$<br />
Ferry to Batam through agent - 85$ for 2 person round-trip<br />
Majesty Spa 3.5h package - 194.57$ (IDR 1, 980, 000) for 2 person<br />
<br />
I think overall, we spent like 74.25$ for food at Turi Resort and 100$+ cash also for food outside and snacks. So the total damage is around 750$ for two person for that one weekend. It's bloody expensive for a short weekend but, I did indeed booked a more luxurious resort for our stay, so by right, I shouldn't be whining at all. <strike>It's just a bit painful for my wallet.</strike><br />

We departed from Tanah Merah Terminal since we were going to Nongsa Terminal, which is where Turi Resort is located. It is advised that passengers should arrive an hour before the departure time, but really, I don't think it is necessary because we were also waiting for quite awhile. Boarding time only starts like 10-15 mins before departure. I think half an hour earlier would suffice. (But don't listen to me, I don't want to become a bad influence or something. </div>

There was quite a number of people going to Batam. Mostly dressed up in <i>batik</i> or flowy dresses, I guess it's "holiday mode on". </div>

The boat ride was just 45 mins. Then there was a shuttle van waiting outside of the terminal for all Turi Resort customers. Waited for awhile since everyone needs time to get across the passport checking station. The resort is only 5-10 mins away from the terminal, it is quite close, but not advisable to walk all the way there with a whole loads of luggage. Not that we have a lot, since we were just staying for the weekend. But it's dang hot. </div>

Check-in time was at 2pm, we reached there earlier like around 1pm. So, we went to walk around the resort and also took lunch at one of the restaurant there. To be fair, there's not much choices. Only one restaurant was open, they serve buffet, but you can also order ala carte dishes. We opt for the ala carte since I don't feel like eating a lot, so buffet wasn't a good choice.<br />

When we finished, we went to the reception to check if our room was ready. Unfortunately, the cleaning service was slow, so they arranged another room for us temporarily. I think we were only showed to our real room around 4pm. I felt a bit downgraded, and also they did not compensate in anyway. I should have demanded for a late check out. </div>

They have this buffet dinner every Saturday night and also a live band performing, there's a lot of food selection which I am quite surprised with. There's also this ice crushing machine, and I found my new favourite dessert called Es Teler (crushed ice with jackfruit, coconut flesh, and avocado). Jackfruit is my new obsession, maybe that is why it was so appetizing to me. </div>

Short story. I dropped my favorite watch at the swimming pool when we went for a short swim. I only realized that an hour or two later. We went to the reception to make a report, and by dinner time, they said they have found it and returned back to me. I'm so relieved, luckily they found it! Thank you so much to the employees there for the help!</div>

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, Pussy Foot mocktail. I'm actually quite attracted by the name itself, not by the ingredients. As you can see, I was not afraid to try a drink with raw egg yolk in it. Mostly the fruit juices covered the smell I guess but I did tasted one string of raw and hard egg white piece in there (if you know what I mean), it's quite awful. Despite that, overall, it's not that bad actually, and quite refreshing.</div>

Checked out from the hotel after a short swim in the morning. The resort actually have 2 swimming pools! Although one of them is poorly maintained, but people still swim in it. I'm talking about dirt, sand and green moss growing kind of swimming pool. I feel disgusted when my feet touch the ground, because it felt a little slippery from the moss. Gross man.</div>

Last stop for dinner before heading back. We went to Golden Prawn which is recommended by a friend of the boyfriend. It is apparently a must to eat seafood in Batam because the price is cheaper than Singapore (yeap, I guess that's the only legit reason). The place has a lot of space for customers, but surprisingly empty. </div>

A bit too much for two person, but somehow we managed to finish them. Overall, the food is quite good and it costs us 500, 000 IDR (which is around 50SGD) for everything on the table. </div>

I thought we would have time to walk around the mall near Batam Terminal, but we didn't know that there was some special event going around town, so the traffic was so bad, the road to the terminal were closed off. So, we kind of get down at quite a distance from the terminal and walked there. Luckily for us, the ticket I had from BatamFast allowed us to use it on any of the other timing even if I had originally booked for an earlier one. But I already knew that when I bought mine from the agent (whom I found in Carousell). </div>

I know it's kind of here and there, and it's been awhile since I've done these food reviews. Heck, I don't even remember the price for half of the things I've eaten anymore. I guess this is not a formal one. I'm just doing it for the heck of it. For my own satisfaction. Well, here goes nothing</div>

It's been a long while since my last visit to Melaka! It was Good Friday, so I had Friday off from work, and decided to follow le bf to Melaka since he was there for work. So, it's like half of a food hunting trip for me. Decided to try some new places there. Tempted to go to the same places we went before but then decided that maybe it's time to try something new. </div>

Our first stop for lunch is Bulldog Cafe. Anyway, guys, can someone please explain to me why the menu is explained in Japanese? Are there a lot of Japanese tourists going to Melaka or if the owner of Bulldog cafe is actually a Japanese? Idk man, I felt so weird, yet oddly attracted to this menu. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The price I used below are based on <a href="https://www.offpeak.my/restaurant/1742/bulldog-melaka#menu">offpeak website</a>, as I did not take note on the menu. I don't know if the prices are still the same, but just to be clear about it. </div>
<br />
Location wise, it's a bit hard to find a parking spot near to this place. We had to make a very big turn after we missed the place once, as there were no parking allowed along the road.<br />

I know it's dessert, but it was a really hot day, and we were craving for some ice cold stuff. Our friend recommended the cendol so we had to try it. It was incredibly fragrant and the sweetness from gula melaka is on point. </div>

❤️ <b>Nyonya Popiah, RM5 </b>❤️</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The first thing I've noticed about the popiah is the skin. It has different texture from the normal popiah skin that I've had. You know how normal popiah skin is like, more dry-ish and sheet-like right? This is not it, the skin was fluffy and soft. Definitely a new take on popiah! I like it very much, but beware though, it can get quite spicy!</div>

Not a fan of "curry" laksa, so I just took a sip. Since this is preference based, I don't think I am qualified to give a comment on it. However, I do eat the nyonya laksa from Jonker 88. But this, I do not like. </div>

Selfie with the sick birthday bf. Just slotted this picture in here, just for the heck of it. I feel pity for him because it was his birthday that day, and he had to work for the day, and he was already half sick after lunch. It's just a bad day for him I think. </div>

Speaking of bad day, one of the stretchy band from my top decided to break off that day, leaving me with a weird exposed arm. Goodbye, fav top. I had to quickly find one in a wimp. Luckily there was a boutique nearby when that happened. </div>

Next stop, Miyakori Jonker for some sweet waffles. The shop is just located near the entrance of Jonker Street where the stage is stationed so it's very easy to find. Luckily, I did not have to enjoy the waffles alone. Else, it would look a bit pathetic if I were to sit there alone, eating the whole thing. The portion was just nice for two.</div>

❤️ <b>Chocolate Brownie Waffle, RM19.50 </b>❤️</div>
Is it just me, or is the food expenses in Malaysia is getting higher and higher? But well, looking at the presentation of the dish, I would think that the price is reasonable. There's ice cream, a lot of brownies, a pot of dark chocolate sauce and even topped with cream. It's really good.<br />

For dinner, it was Nyonya food again! Well, it <b>is</b> Melaka, where the best nyonya food is found. We went to SamFu which is located at the ground floor of Mimosa Hotel.There's parking in the hotel ground, so it was very convenient. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The restaurant looks very fancy on the inside, and quite colorful. The atmosphere was really good, so expect a higher range of price there. Okay, at this point, I need to confess, I don't remember the exact name of the food we ordered and also the price, but I'll try recalling what is was. If you see something you like, maybe you can show the picture to the waiter. *laughs at my own stupidity*. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It is also a good idea to make a reservation at this restaurant, as when we went in there, it seems like the whole place was reserved... but we did not really see all the tables being seated even until we were finished. I don't know what happened, but hey, just a quick call wouldn't hurt. Since there was just 3 of us, it was easier to slot in I guess.</div>

<b>Acar-acar</b></div>
Served as an appetizer while waiting for our food. The acar-acar has a very strong vinegar taste and it's very acidic. Too acidic I think. I normally can easily eat the whole bowl by myself but I find myself stopping at the second piece. Not for me.<br />

Lastly, of course, cendol as dessert. A bit lacking or maybe we ate a superb one in the afternoon and this kind of didn't hit the same standard. It's not as fragrant as the one we had and it's more "watery". A lot of room for improvement. </div>

I remember that I really liked the brioche. They definitely didn't have the chili sauce version like the one served in Genting. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Since I was there before, and I knew the size of the lobster already, I told them that it was better to order the bigger size lobsters since there's much more meat in them and there's 4 of us, so we could share. We end up ordering one that weighed 1.9kg. Half grilled, and half cooked with chili sauce. </div>

❤️ <b>The B&L Burger, RM138 </b>❤️</div>
It's weird ordering a beef burger, but dude, the beef was <b>so </b>good. The lobster meat inside was just "meh~" though. Beef patty was cooked to medium, and there was a hint of redness, it was perfect.<br />

<b>❤️ Grilled Lobster & Signature Chili Lobster ❤️</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Brioche is amazing as always. Ugh, look at how buttery and perfectly toasted it is. It's a fine piece of bread I tell ya. We asked if it was possible to refill the brioche, unfortunately it cost like a whopping <b>RM16</b> for 4 more pieces, We said no to that. Fortunately though, salad is refillable. I like the salad too, with the rocket and parmesan cheese powder. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Grilled lobster, the classic, it's a fail safe way to eat fresh lobster. We also discovered something really cool. We noticed that the meat from left and right claw tasted different. Even the shape is different, one claw having sharper "teeth", and the other one that looks more like a shield. The end of the claw tasted more fishy and jelly like, the middle part of the claw was juicy and sweet. Maybe it's more noticeable if you eat the jumbo sized ones but it was really intriguing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Signature Chili Lobster, I'm just in love with the sauce. It's sweet, it's tangy, and it goes really well with bread. Asian finger licking good. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Sorry guys, again, I don't remember the price. I honestly don't remember the range, I don't want to say something not accurate. I know my memory is failing me. Lol. If I would guess, I think it's around RM700-900 for everything....... I know, there's like RM200 in between for guessing. HAHAHAHA. Anyway, what's important is the taste and it's lobsters, it's not going to be cheap. </div>

My bf asked if I wanted to try this wagyu beef bowl in one of the food court nead CBD area. I was like... huh? Wagyu meat served in a food court? Are you kidding me? And it's only 10$. I had to try this. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We went during lunch on a weekday, and it was packed with people. It's very annoying to find a place to sit, as everyone "chop" places with their office tags and umbrella. Singapore. <strike>Although, I do that too at the market near to the office.</strike> Gyu nami only serve one and only one dish, that is this wagyu beef don. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Presentation was really nice, and they even serve miso soup together. Unfortunately, taste wise, it was just okay. I don't know. I think I build my expectation too high, and I was expecting something a bit.. like "woahhhh" factor. But it's a nice lunch, I guess? The meat was medium rare, but unfortunately, there's like... not much beef smell, like the good kind. There was just texture of meat. That's it. Overall, I tasted the mayo or black pepper sauce more than the beef. Miso soup was too salty. I didn't like it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Other than that, the service is a bit lacking. Despite serving only one dish, somehow the aunty can mix up my order. I ordered 3 bowls and paid for it. Yet she only served me 2 and said I only order 2. Luckily the other lady working there remembered me, and said I indeed ordered 3. People make mistakes, I know, that's fine but the way the aunty reacted, I felt like she didn't trust the customers much. But anyway, that's just my personal experience. Nothing to do with the food. </div>

Starting off my new year at Sunway Medical Centre. My surgery for my bunion was scheduled on 2nd January. Originally, doctor asked me to admin into the hospital the day before, but since my operation was booked in the afternoon, I can "check in" in the morning of the surgery day. </div>

If you are curious about my feet, this is how it looked like before. My left foot is a bit retarded as you can see. I have a condition called bunion, and my second toe on the left foot is abnormally longer than the rest my my toes. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpaCe4LIy0L5bCG8NcgE1CQyEqZmlsj7rpVkm6pYhGjNHjnBglWYci3pnwhVExiDgxIcjMZv0xkY4roeHDLfNwl4qAo_bKzuBfMQQmWEFn-BDWpNIDfv3PJHN6RXdy351ZdEVV_XaT3AjE/s1600/IMG_E2056.JPG" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="478" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpaCe4LIy0L5bCG8NcgE1CQyEqZmlsj7rpVkm6pYhGjNHjnBglWYci3pnwhVExiDgxIcjMZv0xkY4roeHDLfNwl4qAo_bKzuBfMQQmWEFn-BDWpNIDfv3PJHN6RXdy351ZdEVV_XaT3AjE/s640/IMG_E2056.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A closer look. I noticed my bunion was hurting me a lot during my Japan trip. It was causing me so much pain as we were walking a lot. It didn't used to bother me that much in the past, I guess because the bunion was not that serious yet. But come Japan, I need to wear snug shoes to walk since it is cold, I started to feel the pain. So, I decided to consult a specialist to get rid of it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I consulted Dr Chua Yeok Pin at Sunway Medical. Don't ask me who is the best in this field, because I don't know, and I didn't do any research beforehand. My mum suggested him to me and also Sunway is close to my home, so I guess it would be easier for me to travel to and fro for check up. Apparently, he has been interviewed by newspaper and was also invited for radio talk show. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Honestly for me, it was kind of.. rushed out. Originally, the Dr asked me to do 3 procedure in one go. My bunion, my second toe, and my flat foot. The last part is a more serious surgery, as they would need to screw a huge bolt into my foot and the recovery time would be longer. During my first visit, I blindly said okay okay okay because he told me it is also one of the causes for bunion. Then days passed, I was thinking.. I am born with 2 flat feet, it was kind of weird to only fix one of my foot, wouldn't I be unbalanced? So, I asked again regarding it. In the end, we didn't do the last procedure, because the Dr then said, my flat foot is not that serious, so there is no need to fix it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You know, at this point, I was doubting this Dr Chua a bit. I mean as a patient, we don't know much about the medical field, so of course it's natural for us to just believe what the doctors say. But then, it's regarding my body, I can't really be THAT ignorant about it. So, I guess my advice to you, if you are unsure about something, just ask as much question as possible to the doctor to understand. </div>

I was nervous the night before, but in the morning, I think I was calmer than I expected. I thought I would be pretty scared but I was feeling normal. One hour before my surgery, they pushed me to the OT (Operation Theater, I think). The room was filled with a lot of people with their surgical attires, and it was quite hectic.<br />

Then another doctor came and asked me how I was doing, and started to explain what he will be injecting me with. It was all okay, until he inject one drug which he said will knock me out during the surgery. It felt like the drug was stinging into my arm, then my whole body. The next thing I knew, some nurse was calling out my name and asked me to wake up. </div>

Then I realized, I had passed out for 4 hours. It's a new experience, I mean being super groggy and all because of the drug. (I had 2 puffs of marijuana before but that was nothing close to this)</div>

I was extremely dis-coordinated, I had problem keeping my eyes open, when it did, my vision was blurry, it felt so hard to speak, the words was in my mouth, but I cannot seem to spit it out. Damn, it's like being in a body you are not accustomed to.<br />

On the first night, my bf stayed with me since he was still in Malaysia. The next few days, my mum took over and helped me to shower and all. Staying in the bed is not that bad. The only thing I hate was going to the bathroom, it seems like a chore to me! I had to call the nurse in every time I had to go pee. And the nurse will bring me this special chair, whereby they can just slip above the toilet, so I don't have to move my butt here and there in the bathroom.<br />
Had some visitors over too. I'm so happy to see them and really grateful for their company! I had to stay for 4 days. I had already brought many materials to keep myself busy but it's a nice feeling to have visitors over and check how I was doing.<br />

Not being able to walk sucks, but being helpless, sucks even more. On the 4th day, I had to learn how to walk with the crutches. It was very very scary, especially when climbing up and down the stairs. And the pain was excruciating. It's like feeling my wound opening, closing, and grinding into each other. I practiced a few more times despite the pain, since I have to get out of the hospital sooner or later.</div>

Taken on 28th Jan, finally some new skin is growing after 4 weeks. Unfortunately, it was still very black. I think the bruises stayed for quite awhile. But my feet looks fine now, after 4 months. But it still hurts to walk though. I am not sure why. My big toe is fine, but I find my second toe becoming stiff and it hurts quite a lot when I try to put pressure on it. It's still too early for me to walk long distance. Which is bad, because I have my Hong Kong trip coming this May! I hope I can recover faster! </div>

Anyway, I was on hospitalization for 6 weeks, I stayed in Malaysia for 4 weeks, since somebody can take care of me there. Then I came back to Singapore to work at home, with special permission from my company. During my 4 weeks in Malaysia, these are the projects that I have worked on some times. But I think I spent most of my time playing games, since time flies. But it can get very boring and unproductive. </div>

Bought some miniature kit from Lazada, and get my hands dirty. It is very fun! I quite like it! I bought the most basic set I could find, because I just wanted to try it.

Healed in time for Chinese New Year, by that time, I didn't need crutches to walk anymore. But I still need to wear the special bunion shoes around. Indoor and also outdoor. I kind of feel bad when I step into friends' house though, because it's quite dirty. Didn't really go to much places this year. It's getting really quiet year after year. </div>

I didn't do much in these 4 months actually. But just occasionally found some activities to do that does not require any feet energy. Basically, not walking. </div>

I wanted to do pottery for a long time, but just to try it. Not to pursue it professionally of course, if I don't have a strong interest after trying I mean. So, I went on Fave to find something related to pottery class, and I found one. 32$ per person for one class at Taoz Ceramic. Little did I know, the class duration was just 10-15 mins. I thought it will be a whole hour. Well, to be fair, we only made one small bowl and one small cup, so it didn't take long. And mostly the guide did all the work, we just sat there and played with the clay. </div>

I wanted to go see the iLight Marina for quite some time, so we had to plan one night to go there before it ends. I said "we had to plan", because le partner is always on business trip or is busy, else, in the weekend, we would not be around in Singapore for it. I was getting quite upset because it seems like these days I am always alone and with my current feet condition, I couldn't last long outside. I never knew it would be so depressing to coop up at home, I used to love doing it as some times I am so lazy to go out. I guess too much of a good thing is a bad thing.<br />

That night I felt so ugly. My hair is a mess, my forehead is too big and it's showing too much, my clothes are not cute at all, and I am forever wearing those pair of Birkenstocks. Hah, I already feel I'm so shallow just by saying that. But idk, ladies, I think you know what I mean. It's just a sudden pang. The sudden realization that I am getting older, and getting less attractive. Yet, vanity doesn't die.</div>

Was invited (kinda) to have lunch with Ah Lok's family. The situation was so funny though, I just knew that we have this lunch just the day before. I mean knew they were going to Shin Nihon, but I don't know when, and if we are going back to Malaysia, we could join them. June and me kind of chat about it. I didn't tell le bf. Then Ah Lok told my bf to meet for lunch since me and June talked it over. Then le bf came home and reprimanded me for not telling him about the arrangement, but then I told him, I don't even know when it is (???), so I didn't tell him anything. I think my bf was the messenger in this case, because he was indeed, informed when it was, but wasn't the one who arranged it, while for me being the one knowing what's happening but didn't know when. HAHAHA. Anyway, it worked out in the end, that's what's important. </div>

On the same day, Eric's wedding happened. Finally, Cindy and Eric, it happened. Both of them are sweethearts since middle school (or earlier I think!?), and finally they are now tying the knot. Congratulations! </div>

It's so funny looking at these photos, because there's this one odd guy out, who we all just met on the same day. He just came along and decided that he would hang out with us <strike>and ditched his friends</strike>. I think because we are too cool. HAHAHAHA. He blended in so well though. Somehow, I felt like I've seen him before (and I was not the only one feeling that), but he said he did not went to Multimedia university, so it was impossible. Maybe somewhere, somehow, we did meet, and didn't remember, or maybe I saw his doppelganger. </div>

That's it for today. I thought I just wanted to update things since it's been awhile. It's already the end of April by the time I am done typing this. I've been really neglecting my timeline in all these. I just finished my Japan post not long ago. Well, at least I finished it in half a year, unlike my Europe trip which took me a year. This is why I can't be a full-time blogger. I am always out of schedule. Lol. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Anyway, I'll be writing a food review post and another one for my recent Batam trip/bf's birthday celebration. Toodles.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
What triggered me to write a post on this is because I, myself, don't know what to buy exactly from Japan. Well, I know some personal favs in general, like those Tokyo banana, Tokyo Milk Cheese Factory biscuits, Shiroi Koibito, Calbee, Ichiran Ramen instant noodle (which is not really good, the fresh one is definitely much better) so on and so forth. These are all very common snacks that people usually buy back (from what I have seen from colleagues and friends). So, I thought, maybe it' a good idea to introduce some other things that are not from the "popular" list which are worth buying or trying. </div>

1. Muscat</h3>
<div>
Okay, I know it's weird to start off with a fruit.. and it's not even a "thing to buy back" but yet it's on my list. At first glance, it looks like grapes, but it's not. It taste very very different from grapes and it's super sweet! This is a must try fruit when you are in Japan! There's also a hint of mango aroma in it (at least that is what my mum describes it). I'm not good with describing it but I reckon it's better to just try it yourself and judge. Hahaha.<br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div>
Normally, it would cost 1000yen (the cheapest one we saw) for this amount (picture above). There are also much higher grades one which can reach to 4000yen. We also tried the 3000yen ones, it is much sweeter definitely. I like the more exp one but it might not be value for money as you can see.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There are also dark purple ones, those also taste very different but I don't remember anymore the taste. All I know is that I didn't like it and it leans more to the sour side.<br />
<br /></div>

<h4 style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2. Kororo Gummy</h4>
Discovered this yummy gummy by chance. Actually bought this while we were queuing up to pay at the Mega Don Quijote. Never thought I would discover a real gem. The texture is not like the normal gummy (like Haribo), it's more like... hmm.. water placed into a very soft and thin... skin? Okay, this description is getting bizarre. But it's definitely very sweet and addictive!<br />
Actually they also sell this in 7-11 in Singapore but it cost like 2.50$, it's much cheaper to buy in Japan. I don't remember the exact price but I remember it was around 150yen. I also tried the strawberry flavoured one, it is also very nice.<br />

<h4 style="clear: both;">
3. Funwari Meijin Extremely Light Airy Snack Kinako Flavor</h4>
<div>
Yes, that is the full name of this snack, a mouthful (pun not intended). Again, this snack, we discovered by chance. Funny story regarding how we came to buy it. This item was placed outside of Don Quijote, and was labelled as one of those "hot items". Then we saw one thug-looking Korean guy grabbing like a full basket of this snack. All three of us was just looking at him, puzzled. And he noticed, so my mum asked him if the snack was good. Then he started to re-enact this funny motion (like the mind-blown gif) while saying "like snow in mouth". Honestly, I missed out on seeing this, apparently I was looking really hard on something else, my brother told me the story. My brother and mum was laughing and also was thoroughly convinced. So we bought a few packet to try. </div>
<div>
He is not kidding, it <b>melts</b>. If you also like peanut, you'll definitely love this. Definitely a <b>must</b> buy. </div>

<h4 style="clear: both;">
4. Mannan Life "Konnyaku Batake" Konjac Fruits Jelly</h4>
<div>
Also, another snack which we also saw the Korean guy was packing in another basket of his. Actually, I know this would be good because I really like Konnyaku jelly. Tried all three flavors, all of them are so good. I like the grape ones best, while my mum and brother voted for peach. </div>

5. Tansan Senbei (Arima Town)</h4>
<div>
A very well known snack sold in Arima Town. I think in every corner we walked through, we would definitely see some shop selling this. It's just thin, crispy and sweet biscuit but I find it very addictive. I really like it for some reason. They also have some variations of this snack that have cream or is in another flavor (like sesame or lavender flavor). </div>

<h4 style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
6. Dried / Preserved Scallop Snack</h4>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I think this snack is self-explanatory. Well-known as a classic Japan snack. I finished it rather quickly when my mum bought it from her previous Japan trip few years back. I thought it was delicious (but also, very unhealthy if ate too much). This time, we bought back around 9-10 packs. Some how, this killed the urge for me to snack on it. Great as souvenirs for friends and colleagues.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We bought most of these snacks in the Osaka market, be sure to walk around first before deciding to buy at a certain store. Some small stores might sell the same brand and amount for a lesser price. This is my lesson learnt from our last visit. We tried like 3 brands? Honestly I don't remember which one is the best, it's just a matter of preference. Some brand might be more salty than the other. But one particular one called "<b>Hokkaido preserved scallop</b>" taste different. It's more fishy and I didn't like it. It is also much more expensive. I <b>don't</b> recommend to buy this brand! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

7. Pickled Japanese Plum</h4>
<div style="text-align: left;">
If you are a fan of salty or pickled snack, I think you'll want to try this. I, myself, don't like the taste because it's <b>SUPER SALTY. </b>Even a tiny bite can last for like minutes in your mouth, and it will still be salty af. My brother and grandmother is crazy about this snack. </div>

8. Honeydukes Shock-O-Choc from Universal Studio Japan</h4>
<div>
Since I am a HUGE fan of Harry Potter, of course I have to introduce this. It's just chocolate with chili in it, and it's quite spicy but it's also quite good. You can also play prank on your friends with this snack. Hahaha.<br />

9. Don't-Know-What's-It-Called-Japanese-Sweets-Slash-Snack</h4>
</div>
<div>
I originally wanted to add this into my list before I publish this post, but I don't remember the name and I thought I didn't have any photo of it. I found one today when I was filtering photos for my new blog post. And here it is! I still don't know the name. It's a kind of sweet snack. I bought a few that is green tea flavoured from Yatshuhashi shop found along Ninnenzaka-Sannenzaka and it was really good. It's kind of like sweet biscuit coated with crispy sugar. Be sure to buy it if you see it in the souv shop.</div>

1. Amulet or Lucky Charm from Temple</h4>
Some of the temples sells amulets for different purposes. I think we came across like two or three temples that have these but we bought ours when we saw it for the first time in Kiyomizu-dera temple. They are very well-made and looks very cute. Perfect for giving to loved ones.<br />

Not only are these fun, the item inside is also very cute! Not your typical keychain souvs yo! There's so many type of Gachapon that you can find in Japan. I think I've used like 2500-3000yen alone in my total trip for these. HAHAHA. Let me show you some of my collections. </div>

I actually only wanted this otter. It's like love at first sight, it's my spirit animal. Look at it! It's so cute! It's just dying of boredom! It's currently on display on my office desk right now. My neighbor like it so much too, that it is now shared between our desks. LOL. Unfortunately, we had to try like 5 times at the gachapon machine to get this.</div>

3. Hanko Name Seal</h4>
<div>
</div>
or aka Hanko stamp! I first came across this machine at Don Quijote in Namba, Osaka. There's also another one in Mega Don Quijote but the seal box was sold out at this branch. It's fully automated, and it takes like 20 mins to get the item. I felt that it was quite special and I just have to have one! There are also shops which have this Hanko seal carving services but it usually takes few days for them to complete it.<br />
<div>
There's two languages to choose from on the machine, Japanese and English. However, if you do it in English, you have little control over your name. If you have an English name, it's fine IMO. But if you have a Chinese name (like me), then I think it would be better to choose the Japanese language so you can choose your Kanji name. BUT.. you would need:</div>
<div>
<ol>
<li>to know how to read hiragana. Yes, unfortunately, you would need some knowledge to read hiragana as you have to enter the hiragana character as an input.</li>
<li>google translator app or any translator you have, to translate your name from Chinese to Japanese</li>
<li>obviously, know your Chinese name. However, not all Chinese characters are in Kanji (like my boyfriend's). So, you have to try your luck. </li>
</ol>
<div>
There's actually another option, where you can choose your own "handwriting", so what ever you draw on the machines, it will be carved out. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Some advice though, when choosing the thickness of the name craving, it would be better if it is <b>thicker </b>if you buy the <b>small Hanko seal</b>, else, the stamping would not work, as the character might be missing some strokes. My brother got 2 name seals because of this error. </div>

4. Japanese Magazines for the ladies</h4>
<div>
It's only November, and they already have January's issue. Does Japan has a time travelling machine or what? LOL. Anyway, I bought it because I saw that they are giving away this cute selfie O-ring and also thought it would be great reading material during my flight back. Although it's very heavy and I have no space left in my luggage. </div>

5. Jump store / Anime / Manga store merchandise</h4>
If you are a fan of anime or manga, definitely check these stores out. There's one "Jump" Store near the entrance of Universal Studio Japan, which I really recommend. They have some pretty cool shirts for sale. Also, if you have time too, please walk around Nipponbashi's Den Den town. You can easily spent the whole day hunting for goods there (IF you are anime/manga fan).<br />

6. Deco items</h4>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Okay, maybe this item is not for everyone, it's for those people who likes to decorate. I bought two items to hang on the walls in my current rented house.<br />
The Kitsune mask I found in Animate store in Osaka. It's actually used for cosplay but I really like it and decided to buy it and it was the last one they have in the store!<br />
The very luxurious looking Hanya mask which I found in some random store at Nara. Which when I googled, it's also sold on <a href="http://www.kyofusa.com/hane.html">Kyofusa website</a>. I am not sure if it is from the same creator but mine looks similar except mine doesn't have that red tag name on it. It has a different name tag. I forgot how much I bought it, if I see something I really like, there's no stopping me. The Nara shop also have some other wall decos and katana for sale too. If you're into Japanese home decoration items, I think you should stop by at the shop if you are visiting Nara. I think it is around <a href="https://goo.gl/maps/H4Y3DQZgPn22">this area</a>.</div>

7. Drugstore products</h4>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Ladies, it's like a must for you to visit any drugstores and buy some skin care or make up product. However, you might be as lost as me if you go into one without anything in mind to buy. No worries, if you have time, you shall stroll around and make your choice. Some of the bestselling items will have this "#1" or "BEST" marked, so you kind of get the idea what tourists usually buy there. But if you are tight on time, I suggest you to find out beforehand before stepping into the store~! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
For starters, some recommendation from me, check this amazing product called <b>DUP Eyelid Tape</b>. They also sell it in Singapore, but whatever. Just buy them if you are in Japan. I have eyelids, just that with age, it droops more so it's getting more and more non-visible now. I tried other brands as well, but this double-sided tape just changed everything. It looks the most natural and the tape doesn't come out and says hi when you blink. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Second, my friend actually introduced this, it's called<b> Suisai powder cleanser</b>. I thought the packaging was really smart and it's definitely travel friendly. BUT, it's on the expensive side. They recommend to use the whole amount in one tiny box for one use, but I manage to split them to two usage because there's quite a fair amount in there. Also saw another brand selling powder cleanser but it's all in one bottle, you can check that out too (but I don't remember the brand name though, sorry). I myself don't use this daily, but only for when I am travelling, as the size is very convenient to bring around. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
That concludes my list of recommended item to buy in Japan based on my experience. Please also suggest to me what to buy in the comment so that I can maybe check them out also during my next Japan trip! </div>

<b>Day 9 // Osaka</b></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
/ Universal Studio Japan<br />
<br />
Finally, D-Day has come! Universal Studio Japan Osaka! I think this is one of the must go-to place if you are ever in Osaka. Well, at least once I must say. Especially if you are a Harry Potter fan (oh, me me me!)!<br />
<br />
I bought my ticket beforehand on <a href="https://www.klook.com/">Klook</a>, I also bought Express Pass 7 for the three of us so that we would save time, and it did save a lot of our time but unfortunately we did not really took all the rides that was included in the express pass because we were feeling quite nauseated after 2 rides.<br />
Out of all the rides, I would recommend:<br />
<ul>
<li>Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey™ in 4K3D </li>
<li>Flight of the Hippogriff™ </li>
<li>JAWS </li>
<li>Space Fantasy</li>
</ul>
<br />
There are also a few more hardcore ones which are the Hollywood Dream Backdraft and The Flying Dinosaur. I was hesitating to take them but since both my family members are not big fans of super scary ride like these, I gave them a quick pass also <strike>(easier than admitting that I don't like scary rides)</strike>.<br />
<br />
If you are planning to buy the Express Pass, I would advise you to <b>check your Express pass ticket </b>properly as there are a few rides that will <b>only let you use the Express Pass in a <span style="color: red;">certain timing </span></b>which is written on the fine print. Unfortunately, the ticket will be in Japanese, so you might need some help from Klook for the translation. It will look like this:<br />

<br />
As for me, I know how to read some Hiragana and Katakana, so I kind of guess the rides name. Learning a new language comes in handy from time to time.<br />

Our first ride was actually the Space Fantasy - Dream Come True ride since it was in our Express Pass list but there wasn't anyone queuing for the ride when we were there, so the Express Pass is not really needed for this particular ride. Maybe it was still early.</div>

Next is the Minion Ride. Honestly, I hate Minions. I will never understand why these yellow banana thing is loved by so many people. They are not cute and very annoying. There, I have said it. But I still went on the ride anyway, since it is included in our pass. I didn't like the ride. It made me very nauseated. Anything that requires me to wear 3D glasses, I may barf.</div>

Finally, the moment that we have been waiting for. I was so excited to finally get to visit The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. We actually spend like 4 hours solely at the Harry Potter ground. HAHAHA. Muggles will not understand this. We had to walk quite a long way though the "forest" entrance, then when I heard the familiar Harry Potter theme song, I got goosebumps. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I mean, walking through Hogsmeade with HP theme song playing in the background, I felt like I was immersing into another world. </div>

Bought this curious chocolate at Zonkos Joke Shop. I was tempted to buy a lot more stuff, but the candies are expensive af. So, I just bought one which I think we could eat and enjoy. These chocolates are actually made with chilis so it can get very spicy. </div>

Of course, if you don't know already, if you buy the interactive wand, you can play around at secret spots to trigger "magic" spells. The wand comes with a map that tells you where to find these spots. There will also be a mark imprinted on to the ground with the wand movement and enchantment for that particular spell.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Me and my brother were so excited to try it out. Unfortunately, it was so very awkward, because during the day time, there will be an attendant waiting at each and every spot. They will teach you how to use the spell and will ask you to read the spell out loud to make it work. Honestly, I think it is better to <b>not</b> have attendants standing around. It would be so much more fun and <b>not</b> awkward. Fortunately, when the sun sets, these attendants are seen no more. So, we went around once more to play with it. </div>

The interactive wand not only works at Universal Studios Japan, it also works on other Harry Potter world on the planet! </div>

There was this Jump Shop just outside of the USJ entrance, so we went to look around. If you are a fan of anime, I would highly recommend stopping by this shop to have a look see. They stock up mostly new and popular old animes items. The t-shirts are really cute, but unfortunately, they didn't have any from the anime I like.</div>

Honestly, I tested it for a bit, and then it is now stashed away in one of my cupboard. I am too shy to use it outside, it is too extreme for me. Hahahaha!</div>

I was so excited to go to the market. Because the one we went to in Kyoto was simply enjoyable. I was really looking forward to see the one in Osaka. Unfortunately, it was kind of disappointing because it is more tourist orientated and the prices of the food are so much higher, and not that great . </div>

My mum and brother spotted a store that sells fresh soya bean drink. I knew something was wrong when my brother keep asking me to drink it. The taste and texture was not what I expected at all. It was just pure soya bean without any sugar so it is not sweet. It was very creamy and thick. But we couldn't stomach it because we were not used to it. I tried my best to ask the kind shop lady for some sugar in Japanese, and I succeeded. So proud of myself. HAHAHA.</div>

I think Osaka is pretty famous for these crabs, so of course we did not pass the chance to order them. Again, just mediocre. I think I was expecting too much from the seafood and also the sashimi. I would advise people to skip this market if they are also going to the Kyoto one, because the seafood served in Kyoto is cheaper and also better in quality, I feel. </div>

We bought a lot of pickled scallop and from our experience, you are better off walking around the whole market first before deciding to buy from a certain shop. The prices might differ quite a lot. Lesson learnt there. </div>

If you spot a fruit monger, you simply have to try this muscat (which just looks like green grapes, but is it not!). It so sweet and very fragrant. It does not taste like grapes at all. It's tasted more like a hybrid of grape and mango. They are mostly priced around 1000 yen or more. We tried the 3000 yen one also, it is of higher grade and therefore, much sweeter. </div>

Visited quite a number of shops, but did not really found much things to buy. Most of the items sold are mangas and items used in cosplay. Animate is <b>huge</b>, and apparently, each floor is ran by different company, so you cannot pay one's floor item at another floor's counter.</div>

I bought a Kitsune mask at Animate and a cactuar carabiner at some random small shops along the journey. I'm mostly a square enix fan so yeah but there wasn't much items on display for those. Not nice ones anyway. </div>

At night, me and my brother went to this Mega Don Quijote branch in Shin-Imamiya, which is just one stop away from our dorm. My main objective was to get another name seal for le bf so here I was. Unfortunately, the Hanko box was sold out at this branch, so we just have to made do with just the Hanko. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Mega Don Quijote is a maze, and they sell <b>everything</b> here. From food, to electronics, to skincare and make up, and also some funky under 18 X wearable too HAHAHA. A good place to buy snacks and souvs. I would recommend coming here and expect to stay for 2-3 hours because there are so much to choose from!</div>

Anyway, yes, Mount Koya or AKA Koyasan. It’s 2 hours away from Osaka and it is in Wakayama. I decided to go for a one day trip to Koyasan because I wanted to visit Japan’s largest cemetary and Torodo (Lantern Hall). Funny how a girl from another country would like to visit the dead in Japan. Well, I can’t help it. The cemetary itself is a beauty and the Lantern Hall is just spectacular. Koyasan is actually famous for the temple overnight stays, where you can observe daily life of monks and experience their daily routine. Unfortunately, I didn’t really plan for that as I thought it doesn’t suit our family trip. Maybe the next trip, I will try it. There is also a night tour in the cemetary, which is exciting, me thinks! Unfortunately, the tour is held after 7pm so it was impossible unless we stayed there for a night. </div>

During the period we went there, the train to Wakayama stopped operation because of some natural disaster that happened (I forgot what about), so we had to take the bus at one of the stations along the way there. Luckily I kind of googled around before the trip and saw the announcement. The shuttle bus is provided for free because of the inconvenience caused. Japan, what a considerate country. </div>

Despite Koyasan being in a rural area, the map and the bus services are excellent. The guide we got from the station is easy to follow and is very helpful! And it’s in English! So, no problem for foreigners to find their way around. Actually we saw quite a few of Caucasians so no surprise there. But in general, not much tourist in Koyasan, which I really appreciate.</div>

We kind of woke up late so when we reached there it was already 11am. The first thing we did was to search for a restaurant there. There isn’t much of a choice as per se, the particular one we went is nearby a bus stop and it is located above a souvenirs shop. The specialty of Koyasan are Shojin-ryori (vegetarian meal) and Goma-tofu (Sesame Tofu). The sesame tofu is served chilled, it’s really smooth and also have the texture of melting snow which is unique in my opinion. Taste-wise, I don’t remember the aroma. Probably very weak, since there’s no recollection of the taste.</div>

If you saw my vlog, you would notice that there are a few visitors looking for something around this big pine tree. Apparently, there’s a legend surrounding it. If you found a fallen pine needle (not twig) which comes in a set of three, it will bring good luck. We also gave it a try too but unfortunately, we didn’t find any. Most probably it was already taken by the visitors before us. It was also raining when we were there so it’s a bit difficult to move around.</div>

Our last stop at Koyasan is the Okunoin Cemetary, I’m saving the best for the last. We started our journey from the Omotesando Ichinohashi (I marked it on my map as well) and walked all the way to the Torodo Hall. Even though we were walking through a cemetery, I felt oddly calm for some reason. There’s also a lot of small monk statues lying around, and some of them wore crocheted capes which I find amusing. I have no idea what it means though. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The Torodo Hall, house to more than 10, 000 lantern, looks absolutely amazing, but unfortunately, photos and videos are forbidden. I don’t want to be intrusive or disrespectful so I didn’t take any at all. Oddly, I found many pictures on Google, maybe I should have taken some for my personal storage. Hahaha. Anyway, there is also an interesting story behind Kobo Daishi’s Mausoleum. I forgot where I have read this, but I can’t find it anywhere now on the internet, so it might not be accurate! It seems like the believes are that Kobo Daishi is not dead but only meditating in his Mausoleum. So, meals are still sent to his room every single day. </div>

It was only 4pm when we were finished with the walks, there wasn’t any transportation back to the city in the evening, so we went back as soon as we were finished. It was also getting dark quickly. We went straight to hunt for food in Namba.</div>

We were craving for ramen, so when we saw this particular ramen shop, we went to try it. There are no seats in this ramen stall. Customers simply have to stand and eat at the counter. My mum remembered she came here before in the past and said it was good and it definitely was.<br />
Actually, the chef was kind of angry when someone took photos of his shop and food and waved a hand at her. Luckily when I was taking this photo, I was out of his sight. I think probably it's because the kitchen is quite dirty, but no matter. All the customers saw that, I don't understand why it isn't allowed.<br />

Next stop, Luke's Lobster. Actually I only get to know of this place from Jessica Chaw's blog. Apparently, it's a hype and there's a lot of people queuing. So, we went to try it out. Despite having quite a queue. It didn't take long to be served. </div>

Taste-wise, just <b><i>meh</i>... </b>I don't understand the hype. Well, I could say it's cheaper... than usual?? I guess? But worth it or not? For me, I don't think so. I rather spend it on other food. You're better off eating Burger and Lobsters at Genting. D:</div>

We decided to walk around Namba and discovered another hidden like ramen stall. It looked so cool! It kind of reminded me of the shop that Naruto always go to. I sound so nerdy when I say it like this. Lol. But seriously, it looks awesome. It felt very authentic. The food was also really good! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So, I made an effort to find the exact location from my iPhone photo and store name in Google Maps and I found it! <a href="https://goo.gl/maps/8EJ86ZNe4Tt">Osaka Bakufu Shinsaibashi</a>, this is it! Technology never ceases to amaze me. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I've also added it onto my Osaka map.</div>

<b>Day 8 // Kobe</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>***********</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
/ Arima town and Onsen</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
/ Kobe beef</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
For Arima/Kobe day trip, I actually planned quite a lot of places to visit in one day. But unfortunately, it became some sort of a beef hunt trip instead. Hahaha. For those who wish to visit Kobe or Arima, I would advice to focus on one city per day, and not make the same mistake I did. I was too greedy, and I thought we would make it. I think it took an hour or so to reach Arima from Osaka. We changed quite a few stations on the way there. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
If you're planning a trip there, I find <a href="http://visit.arima-onsen.com/plan-your-trip/transportation/">this website</a> very helpful. This particular link shows how to reach Arima town via any mean of transportation and the estimated time. The website also shows a directory of the whole Arima town. </div>

My main point of visiting Arima was to try out the Onsen. Unfortunately, I kind of mixed up the Kin-no-yu and Gin-no-yu Onsen place. I wanted to visit the Kin (Gold) onsen which the water has a kind of muddy yellow tint to it but I ended up at the Gin (Silver) onsen which has clear water. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I was also expecting for an outdoor like onsen place but unfortunately, it was indoor... and it sort of like a very small swimming pool where everybody went in to dip. Sooooooo disappointed and so <b>not</b> what I was expecting. <strike>*So much manga and anime influence*</strike> I am definitely going back to Japan to have a more authentic ryokan and outdoor onsen experience! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This was my first time in a public onsen place. As you all know, you have to take everything off at the locker room, then only you can enter the onsen. I will not deny it, it felt kind of awkward, being naked in front of strangers. But there wasn't much people when we went, so it was still okay. And mostly, old people were there.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We had to shower first before we get into the pool. The shower place was exactly how I imagined it. You sit down in a small chair, shampoo and rinse yourself there. The onsen was very warm, I think i stayed for like less than 10 mins then I came out as I was feeling a little dizzy already. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One very important thing, this public onsen is <b>tattoo friendly</b>. I know it is kind of a big deal in Japan, so I did some researched before hand since I have tattoos. </div>

And a must to drink Arima Cider after a good dip. I am not a fan of cider, heck, all of us wasn't, but we thought it was good to at least try it. In the end, we didn't manage to finish it. We went to buy milk to drink instead. XD </div>

If you just want to experience the onsen water but do not want to strip and pay for it, you can opt for a free feet dip outside of Gin-no-yu. Personally, I kind of felt uneasy about dipping my feet into a pool that was shared by a lot of people... and those feet are sweaty and not rinsed beforehand... So yeah........... I rather pay and go inside. Since people have to wash the dirt from themselves first before going into the onsen. #justsaying</div>

I find this very intriguing, so I decided to try it. When I asked my mum and brother, they didn't want any of it. So, I had to eat everything alone. I know I don't like mochi, but I just want to try the "aged" taste. Turns out, I quite like it. </div>

After buying some <a href="http://www.deepjapan.org/a/3613">Tansan Senbei</a>, which is the town's speciality, perfect as a souv me thinks, we went on over to Kobe town, it was already late afternoon when we reached there. Right after we walked on to the streets, we immediately smelled cooked beef. No kidding yo, everywhere we went we saw "STEAK"! Well, not exactly "everywhere", seeing we just walked like one street before succumbing to one of the restaurants. </div>

Me being me, I had to check the ratings on Google Maps first. Our first stop was Ikinari Steak. Which does not serve premium Kobe beef but the wagyu steak was very cheap and tasty! We thought it was a good idea to stuff ourselves with <i>lower</i> grade beef first beforehand since we were famished.</div>

Next stop! A fancy restaurant name "<a href="http://www.mouriya.co.jp/en/">Mouriya</a>" that serves Premium A5 Kobe beef! We didn't survey much around the area for the price. I think it would be almost the same since there were so many competitors there selling Kobe beef. So, we settled for this one as the rating on this place is very high. There were no seats left at the bar, so we had to just settle for the other seats. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If you can, I would suggest to make a reservation to sit at the bar, so that you can see how the chef cook that piece of ultra sexiness in front of you. I bet that will be a sight to see. </div>

The total bill amounted to 29 480 yen, which is around 360 SGD, which is around RM1000+. The price is mind-blowing, but it's okay. Because that first bite of that super premium cut had already done much damage to my brain. We were all high on beef that day. I'm not exaggerating guys, it's like we reached a whole new level of enlightenment.</div>

But, we all just felt like going back and retire early to get ready for tomorrow. Since we need to wake up early to go to Universal Studios.</div>

I know, it's a particularly short day cause we spent quite awhile in the Kaiyukan. I think if I were alone, I could have stayed longer, just to stare at the whale sharks as this does not get to happen everyday. We also got some shopping done at night at Don Quijote in Namba. </div>

I think this was the best OOTD I wore during my stay there. I got a new *fashionable* shoes (cause my sneakers were killing me, and it got my bunion worse, so bought a roomier one to lessen the pain). And my outfit matches my coat (which I wore every single damn day). </div>

We had our brunch at the Tempozan Market Place. Not a great place for brunch but we didn't really have much of a choice. There wasn't much restaurants or shops open along the way from the subway to the Kaiyukan. We stumbled upon a food court in the Tempozan Marketplace, and it was <b>crowded</b>, but we had to settle for food there since we were almost at the Kaiyukan already and we were hungry. We ordered ramen from one of the shop, and it's awful. Well, it's okay, but if compared to the normal food we ate, let's just say it's not the best. </div>

If you are visiting the Kaiyukan, I would highly recommend this whaleshark ice cream from the small cafe inside the Kaiyukan. We ordered just one to try, but then ordered another one again after we finished because it is quite addictive! I think it's just half vanilla and half ice cream soda ice cream. It's <b>really good</b>. </div>

Japan, the land of <i>Gashapon. </i>Saw the cute otter and thought of trying our luck to get it. Unfortunately of course, we didn't get it on our first try. So, we tried and tried again. I think we tried quite a few times, and it's not even cheap for one try. If I remember correctly, it was 300yen per try. </div>

After some shopping in Don quijote, we decided to walk back to the takoyaki store beside Ichiban Ramen. There's two Takoyaki store actually. The corner shop has a really long queue (most probably because it's famous I think? I am not really sure, didn't really researches). We ended up ordering from the takoyaki store next to the famous one called Takoyaku Kukuru, because 1) there is no queue 2) there are seats we can sit in if we order from them.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
While sitting there and eating, we dispatched my brother to buy another set of takoyaki at the famous stall, whose name I do not know. </div>

If you would like to know the difference, I honestly couldn't tell because we are not really fans of takoyaki. I think they were almost the same? Price-wise, I forgot how much it was, so I will not comment on that. </div>

On our way home, we stopped by some dessert shop as we go. There was this shop which only sells pudding for takeaway. If my Japanese is good enough, I think it is read as Mattari Purin and this is the <a href="https://goo.gl/maps/7btKry2LXTB2">google address</a>. The pudding is very creamy! I still think the one sold in Sukiya (the fast food chain) is the best that I have tasted there. But this one does take the second place in my list!</div>

Bought some food at Family Mart at some interchange for breakfast because we were starving and needed the energy, mostly for the luggage. Got myself a "meron bang"! aka melon bread. A must have <strike>for the main char of an anime</strike>. Contrary to the name, it does not have any melon filling or even taste. It's just a bun covered with a layer of sweet crisp cookie dough. I think usually I would refer it to as "polo bun" instead like the Hongkies. However, there is also a melon filling bread, placed just beside to melon bread. Tried that too, if you like melon then you'll definitely like it!</div>

I was at Sunway Medical in Subang not long ago, there is also a Family Mart there. You know what? They also sell melon breads there so, no need to go all the way to Japan to try these anymore. Hahaha. </div>

We arrived at Nara quite late, like around 10am. So, naturally, all the luggage lockers in the stations are occupied. I foresee this happening, so I was prepared. We found a place to safely stow our luggage thank you for <a href="https://www.narastation.com/lockers-luggage-storage-at-the-nara-stations/">this informative post</a> about luggage storage in Nara. </div>

Since we arrived at Kintetsu Nara Station, naturally, we went to the tourist information centre. As you can see, it cost us 800 yen per baggage and 500yen for smaller bags. Unfortunately the only downside to this is that the place closes at 6.30pm, so we had to come back to retrieve our stuff before they close. If you are using lockers, then you can put there as long as you want. </div>

We were going to Osaka anyway, that is why I figured it's better to go from Kyoto > Nara > Osaka. But stupid me, I forgot my specs and left it at our Kyoto Airbnb. I only thought about that in the evening. In the end, we had to check in at our Osaka Airbnb, then me and my brother had to go back to Kyoto in the evening just to retrieve my specs. Luckily the Kyoto host was really nice, I texted the host to inform him about my specs, they found it and helped to put it in a plastic bag and put it in the mailbox for my convenience.</div>

Figured we would take an early lunch first before starting our tour around Nara. There's quite a few Chinese restaurants there. We wanted to try something new so we decided on the Omurice. This was just a random restaurant we came across. Nothing special, and food are just mediocre. </div>

And now, it's time to feed the deers. We jumped when we saw this small stall selling deer biscuits. You know what? These stalls are just everywhere in Nara, you do not need to go find them because they will just pop up everywhere because there's deers <b>everywhere</b>. We had a lot of fun even though it's just feeding deers (and a lot of bowing going on). Some of the deers are very very cheeky. One even pull my coat and demanded to be fed! I've got video evidence in my vlog. </div>

Curiosity got the best of me, so I tried some deer biscuit. I was expecting it to be sweet because it looks like those sweet biscuits/cookies but it turns out to be extremely bitter. I am not sure what these are made of. </div>

Tried out this extremely premium-looking cremia ice cream. Which can be seen sold in a lot of places. I think we saw it quite a few times while we were exploring Japan and they are sold in random stalls. It's more expensive than the normal ones and it does taste a lot more "premium". </div>

I think I bought a lot of stuff in Nara. I got my "oppai" stress ball and my Hanya mask wall deco here. The Hanya mask ain't cheap but I was really entranced by it, so I <b>had</b> to buy it. I forgot to take a picture though. Will do that and post it in my "Things to buy" post after I am done with all my Japan trip entries. If you are really curious then check out this <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffGjnnkS5XQ">Youtube video</a>, it looks exactly like this. I think it's from the same supplier. I would prefer a Kitsune mask but couldn't find one that I could hang on the wall. </div>

Since we have the <b>Kansai Thru Pass</b>, we could use the coupons for Todaiji's entrance fee. If I remember correctly, they gave 100yen discount for each of us. Remember to bring the coupons out while you are out and about! We were lucky as by default, my mum or brother put the voucher in their bag all the time.<br />

Also, cannot miss this big wooden statue just outside Todaiji. This is Binzuru statue. According to the legend, he has great healing power and so is his statue. There was a saying (actually, it's written on some plate next to this statue), if you have an illness on your body part, e.g. bunion (in my case), you may rub the statue's foot and then rub on your own foot to fasten the healing process. </div>

We stumbled across a really creepy part of Nara and passed by some abandoned buildings. It reminded us a lot about Fatal Frame. And if you look carefully on the roof, you may see a peculiar thing...... Just kidding, it's not a kid on the roof, it's just some wood that looked like a child squatting there. On my first glance, I was thoroughly freaked out and I showed it to my brother as well. He was also creeped out. Made you look didn't I? Heh heh heh heh heh...</div>

This sweet shop is sooooo on my to-go list after I saw an online picture of it. It's so cute! Not only does this place looks super adorable, they also serve really good Japanese sweets and snacks. The place closes at 4.30pm so be sure to go there early!</div>

Was craving for amazake but unfortunately they don't have it when we went there. So I opted for the molasses and soybean drink. Also ordered two type of snacks to try out. My family didn't like it very much but I thought they were really good.</div>

Actually didn't plan to go to the monkey park from the beginning, but somehow I asked my brother and mother, and then they were like "whatever", so we just went up. It serves as a good and easy hiking trip up the mountains anyway. We also had the chance to look out at Kyoto from above.</div>

It's quite an easy hike up, there's also some warning signs (what not to do when encountering a wild monkey) and fun facts placed along the route up and down. I think at like 2/3 of the journey up the park, we could already see quite a few monkeys. We even saw some who were fighting and shouting. It's pretty scary guys, I was genuinely afraid. I mean, these are practically wild monkeys and there is no barrier to protect us or whatsoever. </div>

At the park, you can sit at the bench and observe the monkeys openly. Also, it was good to know that there are a few "monkey keepers" looking out and making sure the monkeys are not misbehaving around people. The visitors can only feed them while inside the "safe house". Strictly no feeding when you're out in the open area. There's also a shop inside selling monkey feeds like fruits and nuts.</div>

We only ate some sandwiches from family mart early in the morning so after the hike, we were quite hungry. Saw some road side stalls selling Fried Karaage, Yakisoba and some really thick bacon(?) meat. Then we started to find some nearby restaurants but most of them are crowded and quite expensive to dine in, so we just passed them by hoping we will pass by some other food stalls. </div>

Okay, end of owl photos. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If you're thinking why the owls are so obedient, it's because they are all chained so actually, if they wanted to fly, they couldn't. I could see some owls were quite irritated when we tried to pet them, but they couldn't really move much. It was a little cruel in my opinion, though we were really happy when we could pet them. But we did pay for this, and it's actually just encouraging this "business". Not going to be a keyboard warrior but that was what we saw and thoughts. At the moment of this realization, we also saw a sign explaining why they were chained, it's mainly because of "their safety, and at night, they are free to fly about". </div>

Oh wait, I actually do know. There was this other private route next to the public one. But you would need to rent a rickshaw to be able to access that part and then you'll get good photos there. But I don't know the price though, we didn't ask. </div>

I really really wanted to go to the garden because I read that they gave out Japanese green tea and sweets. Wanted to try them out while enjoying the Autumn Japanese garden view. It's so interesting and relaxing. The place is just so pretty! It's also not as crowded as the Bamboo Grove, I guess mostly because it has an entrance fee. BUT I really liked it there, because I hate crowds. Hahaha. </div>

My family doesn't really like the traditional Japanese green tea because it was too bitter, it's completely different than what we usually drink back at home. I'm neutral, I don't really like it, I don't particularly hate it either. It's really good with the sweets though. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It was actually raining a little in the evening. We were planning to take the bus to Eikan-do Zenrin-ji but somehow, the bus took a really long to arrive. And when it does, it was full. We thought it was quicker to take the taxi so we did. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We didn't really had a good experience with the taxi driver. It being our first time taking one in Japan anyway. We were <b>scolded </b>by the taxi driver. HAHA. Here's the story. So, apparently the doors on the taxis are automated. So, the passenger doesn't need to physically open or close the door. But of course, thanks to our muscle memory, we would always, <b>always</b> open and close it with our hands. Then this uncle scolded us to not touch the door at all. I don't know if it will destroy the auto-mechanism or what not if we did that but yeah. It's not very pleasant. We took another taxi after the visit, that taxi driver was so much better. What I wanted to say is, not all taxi drivers are mean.. just some particular ones.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Taxis in Japan are not cheap but since there were 3 of us, it was raining, the bus was not reliable, and it was almost the end of visiting hours, so we decided to do so. </div>

The pictures are not really that impressive. Actually in real life, it was also not that great but still worth visiting once (in my life). Maybe it's mainly because of the overwhelming crowd. Yes, it was damn crowded even if it was raining a little. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There's also a few other temples which offers night illumination visiting hours during autumn, would love to visit them in the future. </div>

We were back to city center area for a little shopping before going back to our AirBnb. We stumbled across this Pachinko place, was curious so decided to go in for awhile. I was stopped when I went in because I was recording and it was not allowed, I should have known better. Hahahaha. Anyway, we thought Pachinko was like an arcade game centre but it's actually a gambling centre. No fun. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Didn't really stumbled upon any arcade game centre though during the whole trip. What a shame. </div>

Felt like having gyudon in the morning, so we did. We went to dine at Sukiya in town when we were changing stations to get to Kibune. It's was very early in the morning, there's not that much places open too but luckily Sukiya is a 24 hours fast food restaurant chain. It's not the first time I ate in Sukiya, we also have it in Taipan (but they closed down already now). Love the gyudon there. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Sukiya in Japan is also very gooooood. Very satisfying meal even if it's considered as fast food. If you notice, I also ordered pudding. I <b>highly <span style="color: #e06666;">recommend </span>the pudding!</b>!! I tried a lot of different puddings during the trip, I still think that the ones they sell in Sukiya is the best one that I have tried. I know, this surprises me as well. </div>

The total time needed to travel from our place to Kibune is almost 2 hours because we were living in the south area and Kibune is all the way up north. But I think it is still worth it as a day trip! Kibune and Kurama are small towns. I was planning to go to both but there was some small complications, so we could only visit Kibune that day. </div>

This was the complication that I was saying. I was planning to take this small route to Kurama but unfortunately due to force of nature, we couldn't. We could still get to Kurama but we had to take the longer route. And most of the place we wanted to visit closes at 4pm, so we decided not to go anymore. Instead, we took our sweet time strolling around this quaint town. </div>

You can get a slip at the shop nearby for 200 yen. Simply dip the paper in water and you'll get your fortune! Actually I was just thinking, since they already have the QR code there, so you actually just can scan it without dipping it in the water to know the result. HAHAHAHA. But where's the fun in that? </div>

Actually it was an accident that we found this restaurant. I was actually finding for this particular shop that serves "flying noodles" on bamboo stream. But I only found out that they only serves the noodles in Summer so the period for "flying noodles" has ended. But anyway, thought we would just eat there even if it's not summer. But then we ended up in another restaurant by mistake. </div>

But it was a blessing in disguise, because the food they served there were <b>heavenly</b>! I think we had the best Japanese meal in Kibune. I really really like the food in this restaurant. Everything tasted so good. </div>

I also read somewhere online that you have to try the amazake in Kibune. There was a souvenir or snack shop near the bus stop and they were selling amazake in the afternoon. Lucky us! It was cold, so a cup of hot amazake was perfect for the weather. I really really like the amazake! At first I thought it was alcohol but after a quick search, amazake usually has low- or non-alcohol.</div>

I was so mesmerized by this fairy-tale scene that we saw while waiting for the train. It was raining a little but it made the scene much more hypnotizing. I only took a few photos, it's a shame I did not record a video! It was exceptionally beautiful. </div>

Walking around Iwakura is not planned. We decided to stop in Iwakura because the train was too crowded and was moving very slow. Our feet hurt so we thought it would be better to walk around instead of just standing for 30 mins in the train. I'm really glad we did because I enjoyed the walk more than the train ride. </div>

We went to the city for some shopping since it was our last day in Kyoto. Then we had teppanyaki pancake in some random restaurant. Actually we planned to go to a famous one but it was full and reservation was recommended. I don't remember the name because I just googled "pancake" and hope there was something nearby. But anyway, nothing great to introduce, the pancakes was just mediocre. <strike>It's seems like <i>I</i> <i>talk ady like no talk.</i></strike></div>

Believe it or not, this was my first trip to Japan. Yes, I am also kinda shocked myself. I mean I love anime and I have two Japanese-styled influenced tattoos on my body yet I have never stepped foot on the land of the rising sun. I don't know. I always have this impression that I need a lot of money to be able to have a vacation trip there. Well, after this trip, I guess it's kind of true but I bought a lot of stuff there, so I might be spending more than I need to.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b>
<br />
<h2>
<b>// Breakdown of expenses //</b></h2>
So before I start on pouring out the pictures. Here are some breakdown of my Japan trip expenses. I'll be referring to SGD as $ from here on out.<br />
<br />
<i><b>-- essentials --</b></i><br />
AirAsiaX return flight (KL - Kansai airport) // RM1369, ~456$ per person **including 20kg check in baggage<br />
Airbnb Kyoto 4 nights // 267.82$, ~22.32$ per person per night<br />
Airbnb Osaka 6 nights // 336.72$, ~18.71$ per person per night<br />
Japan Wireless PocketWifi // 6950yen, ~82$ for 10 days<br />
<br />
We also changed 1000$ per person to yen to be used there.<br />
So I could say that we roughly used around <b>2000$ per person in total for our Japan 11 days trip</b> that includes:<br />
<br />
<i><b>-- optional --</b></i><br />
Gion Nanba Kaiseki // 8000yen, ~ 96$ per person<br />
Universal Studios Japan // 7600yen, ~90$ per person<br />
USJ Express Pass // 11478yen, 138$ per person<br />
Kobe beef // 30000yen, 360$ for 3 person<br />
<br />
We <b><span style="color: #e06666;">did not</span> really held back with <span style="color: #e06666;">food or snacks</span></b>. We just went ahead with anything that tickles our fancy. So, you could say we weren't really frugal with our money. Cause we live to eat. Haha. But I did find some cheaper transportation alternatives by taking advantage of Japan's tourist tickets! Like for example, Kyoto Access Ticket, Osaka Kaiyukan ticket that includes one day transportation in Osaka, and also some other perks for foreign tourists! I'll talk about them more in details in my blog below when relevant.<br />

<b>// My experience with Japan Wireless //</b></h2>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Around 3 weeks before our trip to Japan, I made a booking for a mobile Pocket Wifi with <a href="http://japan-wireless.com/products.html" target="_blank">Japan Wireless</a>. I have researched a few company but I found that Japan Wireless gives the best offer. I think the winning point is that it offers <b>unlimited wi-fi usage!</b> I find most of the companies offers capped data usage but not Japan Wireless. You have to be extra careful and read all the fine prints here. Because I didn't, I suffered some consequences. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
That said consequences was that.. I did not receive my Pocket Wifi on time. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I'm gonna start my story now. So, I rented the mobile wifi with Japan Wireless and set the pick up point to the post office closest to my AirBnb place. I could have set it to Kansai Airport Post Office but unfortunately the Post Office only opens until 5pm. Our flight was scheduled to land at 3.25pm so I figured it was kind of rush and there was also chances that our flight might get delayed or so. Therefore, my decision. So, after we landed, prepared everything at the airport and went on to the post office. It was not an easy feat to navigate without google map, for some reason I can't save any offline maps of Japan. But luckily, I had Ulmon app which can be used offline. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Alright, anyway, yes.. to the post office. I passed my voucher to the very nice post office lady (some Japanese post office opens till late night, they have a counter called ゆうゆう window/Yuu-Yuu window) and she was searching for quite a long time. Few mins later, she came out without any parcel on her hand. My heart leapt out. It turns out they did not receive any parcel of such. Nobody in the post office knows how to speak English too so I had to whip out my google translator (which thank gawd, can be used offline). I asked if it is possible to call the company and asked about it for me. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
After trying for another few minutes, she told me nobody was picking up. Then I realize, they don't have any 24-hour hotline. Looking back at my e-mail containing the voucher, their office is only reachable from 10am-7pm. It was already 8pm by the time we were at the post office. Then, I saw this as well....</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxASn-wbDFfG9uuAynz2zWBAFfyuAZJE4ruA4s4462IF45U3ChFbOBz0PLfoIGwLK4q_Qb1V7EV5rGLqPfjcPcyLR0v8iQZmdXC6yDmOKPoqtVf0TilsQwXMJ6a5J-rSfWPpXpAjJ5f-L6/s1600/Capture.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="205" data-original-width="369" height="177" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxASn-wbDFfG9uuAynz2zWBAFfyuAZJE4ruA4s4462IF45U3ChFbOBz0PLfoIGwLK4q_Qb1V7EV5rGLqPfjcPcyLR0v8iQZmdXC6yDmOKPoqtVf0TilsQwXMJ6a5J-rSfWPpXpAjJ5f-L6/s320/Capture.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It was then that I realized, I did not receive any so called e-mail from them that has some tracking information. It was so frustrating because I depended a lot on the internet. I mean I had to use google map to find out where we were, where we are heading to, how to get there and also how to get back. Luckily, my brother is a DiGi subscriber and there was this very cheap RM25 3 days roaming + 2GB package we could use. Thank goodness for that. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
After my moment of hysteria, I e-mailed back to Japan Wireless to ask for a solution. In the end, we got a replacement the next day but we had to collect it at Kyoto Post Office instead. Got the tracking info, but it was actually for another customer, because the name of the recipient were not of mine but whatever. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Overall, the <b>pocket wifi works <span style="color: #e06666;">really well</span></b>. It comes with it's own bag, and extra battery bank. Battery life was good, we only had to connect once to the battery bank in the evening mostly. The coverage was very good too but limited connection when we were going to Koyasan but I guess that's normal because we have to go through some pretty rural areas. Other than that, we had really good internet speed. Customer service was good, despite not sending out my pocket wifi on time, they manage to give me a replacement in less than 24 hours and also they refunded some money since we did not get to use it from the date that I have set. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So yeah, I would still recommend Japan Wireless. If you are using their services, make sure that you <b>get the tracking info from them 1-2 days before your trip</b> to avoid any disappointments!</div>

It was a long 6 hours flight from Kuala Lumput to Kansai. Somehow I manage to faint throughout the whole flight. Like knocked out. I usually can't sleep that easily on budget airline, I wonder if they changed the air pressure or something. I seriously couldn't keep my eyes open during the first hour of the flight. When I woke up, miraculously, we were already in the last hour of the flight. It was the same when I was on the flight back. Hmmm, makes you wonder, doesn't it.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
After touched down, the<b> first thing</b> I did was to<b><span style="color: #e06666;"> queue up at the Tourist Information Center</span></b> on1st floor. I highly, <b>highly</b> recommend for people visiting Japan to do so too because they sell all the cheap tickets and packages to most of the attractions in Japan! But of course, it's better to research about them first before you buy them there. Even if you haven't, you could do that at the inquiry counter (not the purchase counter please) and ask the staff for more info but of course, you would need extra time for that. There were a few people in front of me who took their sweet time on talking and choosing the tickets which I think is not really cool.. I mean.. you know, it's kind of like making other people behind you wait for a long time too. So I prefer to know what I want beforehand and just buy them there. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I forgot to take a picture of the tickets I bought, but here is just the run down of what tickets I bought and how much they cost.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
-- <a href="http://www.surutto.com/tickets/kansai_thru_english.html" target="_blank">Kansai Thru Pass</a> 2 days, 4000yen **we used this for Arima onsen, Kobe, and Koyasan trip, it also comes with some coupons which you can use to get discount into some temples or attractions in Kansai area. </div>
<div>
-- <a href="http://www.kaiyukan.com/language/eng/kaiyu.html" target="_blank">Osaka Kaiyukan Ticket</a>, 2550yen **including 1-day unlimited travel in Osaka</div>
<div>
-- <a href="http://www.osaka-info.jp/en/plan/practical_information/travel_passes/osaka_visitors_ticket.html" target="_blank">Osaka 1 day pass</a>, 600-800yen **Sorry, I don't remember exactly how much this was. But according to the internet it seems like it cost 800yen for weekday and 600yen for weekend. Honestly, we kind of wasted this pass because we did not really travel as much as we intended to. </div>
<div>
<br />
There's honestly too much pass to choose from, I did not really read all the available passes. I think I would be very overwhelmed. But good to dive into if you are looking to save up some cash and also it's easier too. For example, for the <b>Kaiyukan ticket</b>, we did not need to queue up and buy the ticket again at the Aquarium, we could just go in. So it saves up time also.<br />
<br />
As for travelling in Japan, we got the ICOCA card at the ticketing machine and <a href="http://www.howto-osaka.com/en/ticket/ticket/kyoto.html" target="_blank"><b>Kyoto Access Ticket</b></a><b>, 1230yen</b> at Nankai Ticketing Office <a href="http://www.howto-osaka.com/en/traffic/informationcounter/NankaiTicketOffice.html" target="_blank">*how to locate in this link*</a>. A lot cheaper than the <a href="https://www.westjr.co.jp/global/en/ticket/icoca-haruka/" target="_blank">JR Haruka pass</a> and also the normal conventional way (1600yen).<br />
<br />
I've heard many people singing praises for the public transportation in Japan about how easy it is to travel around. Guys.. Yeah, it is easy, I do admit it but it's <b>so confusing</b>! Especially with the day passes. I wish I could explain it clearly but it's difficult!<br />
First of all, there's <b>different company managing different rails</b>, self explanatory if you look at the rail names on the Kansai Thru Pass website. Good new is that, you can <b>use ICOCA card on whichever</b>.<br />
HOWEVER, if you buy day passes like me, you'll most likely have a headache. The passes (listed above) we bought only covers the metros and subways, but not JR lines. So, we had to pay extra to use the JR route/Osaka Loop line. Keep that in mind yo! Second of all, there's <b>different type of trains</b> in Japan. E.g. local, semi-express, express, rapid, limited, limited express. I still have problem understanding this. I mean I know they are categorized by different speed but I also thought that we have to pay extra on limited express trains, but some times, I see that we could board without having to pay that extra fee.. ??? BUT <b>the most important thing </b>that I have to tell you is to <b><span style="color: #e06666;">check </span>if the train stops at the station you want to go to</b>! Some of the faster trains will skip some stations, so be sure to <b>check on the boards </b>while you're waiting for the trains.<br />
<br />
Anyway, here's <a href="https://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2016.html" target="_blank">a website explaining Japanese trains</a>, it helps me understand, maybe not all, but at least a little. Sorry for my long rant. I'm normally a quiet person but when I type, I tend to type every little details out.<br />

<a href="https://www.airbnb.com.sg/rooms/9140723" target="_blank">AirBnb</a><span style="color: #990000;"> in Kyoto, near Nagaokakyo</span></h2>
I booked a place in Nagaokakyo for 4 nights in Kyoto. Despite the <a href="https://www.airbnb.com.sg/rooms/9140723" target="_blank">listing name</a>, it isn't near to Gion at all. We need an hour mostly to go to the attractions in Kyoto, and it's 1.2km walk away to the nearest station. It's not <b>very </b>far from the station but when we have to walk the whole day... I mean I would probably appreciate more by shortening that walking distance as much as possible in my future trips. I am not sure why I booked this place in the first place. I'm sure there's better Airbnb in Kyoto that is also around that price range. Maybe there wasn't any availability during the period of my stay? I don't know, I don't remember honestly.<br />
Anyway, the place we stayed is a typical old Japanese house hosted by an Obasan that only speaks Japanese. I only realize this way too late. Obasan is really friendly and is quite talkative but unfortunately, <b>we do not understand</b>. Well, at least my brother and me understood a little. The only thing we could respond with is "daijobudesu". She is not around the house normally, she will only come over when there's people coming over or going away.<br />
Also another downside, the house could host 8 guests max at one time and there is only 1 bathroom and 1 shower room. So yeah, you could imagine the waiting time during peak hour. Despite all my complaint earlier, the house is really cute. Well, at least we had the experience of living in a typical Japanese house in Japan.<br />

Originally, I booked this place for 2 person but my mum said she wanted to join in the end, so I requested one more person. Obasan said the room is only meant for 2 people, so 1 person from our group can stay in another "room". But the original space was big enough for 3 of us, so we insisted that all 3 of us could stay together in the room. She was of course cool with that. Most of the rooms were not "rooms" exactly. It's just compartment-ed with curtains. Fortunately, the futons and blankets were very comfortable. We had no problem sleeping at night even though we could hear our next-room neighbor coughing and sneezing loud and clear. We weren't exactly very quiet either, so... *shrugs*.<br />

We made a new friend, Monzy from Mexico when we arrived, it turns out she was also checking in on the same day. At first we thought she was half Japanese because the Obasan was talking to her a lot in Japanese. It turns out that she was also on the same boat, she didn't know what Obasan was saying but Obasan still mumbles on. Hahaha. We asked the Obasan if there were any restaurants nearby that we could go to (with my limited Japanese vocab), she was nice enough to take us there even though it was already dark. We ordered ramen and burger steak with rice. Both were so yummeh. First meal in Japan was satisfying.<br />

Funny story regarding the first night there. There's actually some other guests on the other side of the sliding door. So at night, one of them wanted to go to the toilet. To do that, he/she had to go through our "room" first through the sliding door. Somehow, he/she manage to knock out one of the sliding door. Gave a shock to my brother because he was just sleeping next to the door. But they managed to popped it right back. *laugh*</div>

We actually took the wrong train when we went there. We were on the correct direction and correct rail. But we took the wrong type of train (rapid train) that skipped this particular station. And it was a looooooong detour this one. But we could see that we were not alone, there was also a few tourists that had the same problem as us. So, we then figured out how to get back, by riding the correct local train. We reached there at 9am, as you can see the crowd was already pouring in at the train station but it was still bearable at the shrine. It was much crowded later. If possible, it would be best to come much earlier like 8am to get good pictures of the thousand tori gates.<br />

It's really really hard to get a good photo without any photo bombing. Also, we are not the only ones there with the same mission. Just think about it, every section is occupied by tourists who wants to take photos. 5% chance of taking a good one. <b>UNLESS</b> we can reach there really early. Like really <b>really </b>early. OR we are extremely lucky. Or we could just camp out there for a really long time but we do not have the luxury of time in our hands. </div>

Definitely a first to eat cold tofu skin with soy sauce and wasabi. The texture is very interesting, I'm sorry I could not explain it in details. If you have not try this before, it's worth to try at least once! </div>

Apparently these are mini doughnut made with soy. I ordered the original one without any sauce or dipping. It is already a little sweet on it's own and it is very fragrant.<b><span style="color: #e06666;"> Recommended item!</span></b><br />

Naturally, fresh sashimi is a must! Everything was so fresh and quite cheap too! The winning sashimi for me would be the tuna toro. I love salmon but the tuna just <b>melts in my mouth.</b> I'm not even remotely joking. And it only cost 700yen! <b><span style="color: #e06666;">Recommended!</span></b></div>
You might want to try the soft cod roe too... which is actually fish sperms. Yes, fish sperms. We didn't buy it in the market because we didn't know what it was but we had the chance to try it during our kaiseki dinner. And found out what it was. It's creamy but the taste didn't really appeal to me. But recommend to try as I have never really seen soft cod roe sold anywhere else before.<br />

Grilled mochi. We didn't like either of the varieties. Well, maybe it's just not our thing. Basically the mochi is tasteless but the sauce surrounding it, is sweet. It's very chewy but they taste like nothing.. or... some.. weird.. thing.</div>

Last but not least, I saved the best for the last. This<b> super duper <span style="color: #cc0000;">delicious </span></b>black sesame soft serve with more roasted sesame sprinkle.

Well, not all the pictures below are taken at Ninenzaka & Sannenzaka. We were just walking from Gion to those streets by chance. Simply get lost there, and you'll find yourself surrounded with lots of wonderful sceneries. I don't remember the names of course, but thanks to my iPhone photo location, I can at least copy the "area" names. The first few pictures below are taken at Kamibentencho, Shimokawaracho, and 石塀小路.<br />

Ventured into the small streets, and the scenery is just lovely (and it's not that crowded. Bonus!). We had quite a few chance encounter with some models.. or maybe not models, just some tourists wearing kimono that hired some photographer to take pics of them(?) or the other way around. And you know what, most of them are not Japanese. They are either speaking Mandarin or Cantonese. Hahahahaha. What is this new culture thing that the social media made this time. I guess it's kinda nice to wear traditional Japanese clothing and walk around Kyoto. There's a lot of rental shops that rent out kimonos and also could do your hair-do for you for a fee. You can rent by the hour or by day I think. It's cute, but not worth our time this time around.</div>

Stepped into a souvenir shops along the streets and found this really cute fridge magnet of the Tori gate with a white fox. Also, some really cute postcards! There's just too many shops, we spent quite awhile window shopping there and tried a lot of snacks too. We spent like an hour along the streets but possible to spend longer there if you like to explore each and every shop. There's also this super cute Japanese Starbucks shop along the streets because it was using one of the traditional buildings as their shop. We didn't go in because we were short of time and also there were too many people in there. If I would go again to Kyoto, I would like to visit that Starbucks branch. </div>

And you know what... just our luck, the temple was under renovation when we were there. *Cry* I didn't know about that. But despite the renovations, a lot of people came. Especially students though! I don't understand. I mean anywhere we went, there seems to be a lot of kindergartners/middle-schooler/high-schoolers swarming in. It's not like there's 2 or 5 people in a group, it's literally a whole swarm. Like the whole class room or even more. Is there so many school trips happening? Or it's just the season for school trips? </div>

Since we had some time, we went to the love shrine aka Jishu Shrine. It's very popular apparently <strike>especially if you're still single</strike>. There's also two very interesting stones at the shrine that also have their own legend. I'm gonna get some reference again, this time from <a href="https://taiken.co/single/find-true-love-at-kiyomizu-dera-in-kyoto" target="_blank">this website</a>.</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "source sans pro" , "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 16.8px;">In front of the shrine you will find two love stones, which are 18 meters apart, and lots of couples looking to confirm their love. Legend says that if you can find your way from one stone to the other with your eyes closed (no cheating) you will find true love. If you unfortunately miss the stone then your desire for love will not be fulfilled. If you find the task too challenging, don’t despair, you can have help with someone guiding you to be successful in finding the stone. If you need help to find the stone, this means that you will find love, but a go-between will also be needed for you to find this love as well.</span> </blockquote>

Found out that Gion Corner was actually selling cheaper tickets to foreigners. It's a one hour performance that includes 7 different acts (more info below, I took pictures of the brochure they gave out). Mostly about Japanese cultures or traditional plays. It was very interesting for me (but not for everyone I am afraid). We actually went there early in the afternoon to buy the tickets, turns out that the ticket booth doesn't open until half an hour before the first performance starts. Unfortunately, there isn't any info about that in their website. But anyway, we went back there again in the evening. </div>

Normal price of an adult ticket costs 3150yen, but if you are a foreigner, you can get it for 2500yen by showing them your passport! </div>

Click on the pictures for larger images so you can read them. As you can see, there are 7 performances; tea ceremony, japanese harp, flower arrangement, court music, ancient comic play, kyoto style dance performed by a maiko (apprentice geiko), and puppet play (which needs 3 people to animate!).</div>

And lastly, my family sleeping. This is what happened when you bring somebody with not much interest to these kind of stuff. He is also very prone to falling asleep. He could literally fall asleep while walking. No shit. I witnessed that first hand. </div>

It was quite difficult to find the restaurant because the entrance is along a small alley. And there's a lot of small alleys in the area. We were on the wrong street at first. Most of the names are written in Japanese, and not English. Usually they are only displayed on a small lantern (like the above) or on a noren hanging at the doorway. </div>

I have researched for quite a few places for kaiseki dinner, unfortunately most of them only take phone reservation and you have to know how to speak Japanese in order to do that. If you are living at a hotel, it would be easier to make the booking by asking the receptionist to help out. Since our choice is limited, I just chose whichever restaurants that has an English website. I made the booking online through e-mail which I got from <a href="http://kyotonanba.com/" target="_blank">their website</a>. Their lunch kaiseki is very cheap but we got the dinner meal instead because we planned to go to the market for lunch. I got the 8000yen for all 3 of us. Our set is an 8 course meal, and I have no idea what they were going to serve beforehand. I am not even sure if I can ask for the menu actually. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There's 3 setting to choose from; bar, Japanese styled room, western styled room. I ended up with the western styled room because the others were fully booked on the date that I chose. I made the booking quite late actually, I think it's best to book at least one week before. Anyway, the restaurant itself is very very small. It can only fit a few people. So, it's very private. The western-styled room is placed on the second floor and we were the only ones in there. It's quite intimidating somehow, I felt. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There's also this very traditional Japanese lady serving our dishes. Unfortunately, she doesn't speak English so she couldn't explain what was being served. Only a little. Via google translator but it was quite a feat, so I gave up on that. Haha. </div>

If you are asking for my honest review. The food are all just mediocre. Most of them have yuzu, I have no problem with yuzu but my brother doesn't like them so he's not a fan of most of the food there. And then most of them uses the fish element. Some I couldn't stomach because it just smells weird and also they feel cold. We were very thankful for the grilled saba fish dish and rice.<br />
Most probably the food does not suit our taste. But I would really want to try another Kaiseki again in the future. Maybe in a ryokan! It's much more expensive but I would really like to try at least once in my life to stay in a ryokan.<br />

This is going to be my master post list for my Japan Kansai Autumn 2017 Itinerary (man, that is a mouthful). I still have not figure out how I am going to write them yet but I don't think I'm going to push them all in one post. Most probably will split them up according to the timeline. So, I'll be linking up the detailed ones in this master post. I am also planning to make a bonus post about what to buy in Japan (snacks and souvenirs ideas). Personally tried and tested by yours truly, and also might be biased because I'll be recommending the things that me or my family likes. I thought it would be useful because I have also no idea what to buy before I went there. Tried to google for "what to buy in Japan" and a whole load of drugstore items came up which is not what I had in mind.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I personally planned everything for our Japan trip. So, what I like to do is research about the city that I want to go then go in details about each point of interest and then only decide if I want to go or not. But no definite day on where to go because I wanted to make it flexible. I have also prepared some maps on google, marking interesting places, filling in details like opening hours or what to especially look out for at those area. I don't go to everything I marked of course, so I'll leave them for future trips.<br />

<b>// Breakdown of expenses //</b></h2>
$ = SGD<br />
<br />
<i><b>-- essentials --</b></i><br />
AirAsiaX return flight (KL - Kansai airport) // RM1369, ~456$ per person **including 20kg check in baggage<br />
Airbnb Kyoto 4 nights // 267.82$, ~22.32$ per person per night<br />
Airbnb Osaka 6 nights // 336.72$, ~18.71$ per person per night<br />
Japan Wireless PocketWifi // 6950yen, ~82$ for 10 days<br />
<br />
We also changed 1000$ per person to yen to be used there.<br />
<span style="color: #e06666;">So I could say that we roughly used around <b>2000$ per person in total for our Japan 11 days trip. </b>We mostly spent on food and buying snacks/souvenirs. </span>That includes:<br />
<br />
<i><b>-- optional --</b></i><br />
Gion Nanba Kaiseki // 8000yen, ~ 96$ per person<br />
Universal Studios Japan // 7600yen, ~90$ per person<br />
USJ Express Pass // 11478yen, 138$ per person<br />
Kobe beef // 30000yen, 360$ for 3 person<br />
<br />

So, this is the breakdown of my itinerary. I'll also link the blog post when they are up (please click on the "Day X" to go to individual post).<br />

Honestly, if you ask me. I think I have only covered like 20 percent of what I want to see. There's just too much to see but so little time. Actually in the beginning I was planning to see more places so I kind of rush everyone to be fast but in the end I just went with the flow. I don't want to stress myself or my family too much. I mean it's meant to be a vacation so might as well enjoy most of it rather than be upset about what we missed. There's always a next time! And now we also know better on where to get the good things with good prices too. Teehee. Alright, now to filter out and edit the photos!</div>

So, I saw these really cute cat ninja hoodie from one of the vending machine while in Japan, so I thought I would get some for mine! Look at these super cute hoodie!!!!!!! kkkiiiiyyyyuuuuuuuttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt! Although Grey look amazingly pissed. HAHAHA. Now, anyone can tell who is who. Visitors always have problem recognizing Bianca and grey, so this kinda sort out the problem.<br />
<br />
Speaking of Japan, I think it'll take awhile for me to finish... or rather.. start writing my Japan post but I promise myself it will come to no matter how long I procrastinate!<br />

I'm back to trying out winged eyeliner look again. I've been avoiding this look because of hooded eyelid but not anymore. Because I'm soooooooo obsessed with double eyelid tape for some reason, so I could kinda pull off this look. I hope. Well, this is not the best try but hey.. A for effort right? </div>

Also, discovered this new kind of grapes while in Japan called Muscat. They taste like mango and grape hybrid (as described by my mum). Well, after that new discovery, I started to realize there's actually Muscat drink! I found this in Shine Korea mart in Singapore. It smells really good but of course, the real fruit is better. </div>

Also , had a date at Jamie's Italian restaurant at VivoCity. Prices are reasonable as the portion is quite big! Honestly I had much better experience dining here than Bread Street Kitchen at Sentosa (which is super overpriced IMO). We had the signature prawn linguine and truffle shuffle pizza. Both are great especially the linguine. I would really recommend to people to go there if you fancy some Italian cuisine. </div>

So, le partner decided to buy a whole packet (5 servings) of Samyang's korean spicy x2 noodles at Shine Korea the other day because it was on promotion. I forgot the price but I remember it was cheaper than buying 2 servings separately. So, here we are. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I cannot deny that it really is very delicious.. even though I dislike the overwhelming heat. By chance, I also found this <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCtnIoYnQTo" target="_blank">3 ways to cook korean spicy noodle video on youtube</a>, so we decided to try it out on the weekend. We tried all 3 recipes in one go. My favorite was the one cooked with milk. You gotta try it out when you have the chance! And if you cannot stand the heat like me, be sure to eat the noodle with a glass of milk beside you at all times. It really helps.</div>

Look who is here in Singapore! I haven't seen this girl in a very long while. We can't even remember the last time we saw each other. Probably more than 5 years ago. Since Mary now lives in Australia, it's very rare to get to see her. Lucky for me, she was around Singapore for 3 weeks. So, I decided to bring her to eat some good food around Singapore. </div>

Anyway, I brought her to Chong Qing and also Keisuke's Lobster King. Both I think worth to be introduced. Even though it's not really "local" cuisine. But good food is good food. Also, the main reason for our meeting to be in Clarke Quay because I promised that I would have a drink with her on a Friday night. Like a real drink. </div>

As y'all know (or don't know), I don't drink. Cocktail is an exception. We found this churros bar serving a whole different type of cocktail. It's an outdoor bar but the music they were playing on the radio was so good. Then I poured out to Mary.. Lol, sorry bout that Mary, it's just that it's been a long while since I have a chance to speak heart-to-heart with someone or maybe it's because of the alcohol. I'm alcohol-intolerant, haha. Thanks for listening and also sharing your thoughts. ❤ Love you to the moon and back.</div>

Tried out this brunch cafe in Ochard called Wild Honey. I rarely go out cafe hunting anymore so I think I am very lacking in recommending a good place to brunch at in Singapore. I think mainly because I don't have a car.. so I don't feel like going out much. Lol. And also I want to save money... for online shopping. *laughing hysterically* Well, unless it's a special occasion like this one. The food is not bad, though the portion can be a bit too much for a lady or maybe it's because of the amount of cheese the brioche has, so we couldn't finish it.</div>

It's so rare for us to be able to go to some getaway together like this. It's also quite a long time since I went to Genting Highlands. Not really a popular place anymore especially after they closed their theme park for renovation (which I do not know what has happened currently).<br />

Originally, planned to celebrate me and Isabelle's birthday together but unfortunately she had a wedding to go to and also flying to China soon again, so it was better for her to spend her limited time with the family. I also had my own plans on my birthday eve so we decided to gather much earlier. Even though it's not Christmas eve, the traffic jam is quite bad. It was also raining on our way back. So, kinda took quite long to drive up and down.</div>

We waited like 2 hours to get into Burgers and Lobsters. The queue was crazy and the waiting time was also quite long. Luckily the food is really good. I was expecting much less because... well.. double standard. I'm not gonna lie. Hah. But it's honestly very good, despite my doubt. Definitely has quality control. With this kind of price, they better. Be prepared to spend around RM150 per person up there. </div>

I think we were fooling around with our phone's camera most of the time up there. And also a lot of people watching going on. To our disappointment, there isn't any good looking guys to look at but a lot of good looking ladies there. Hahahaha. I guess Genting is not really one of the hipster place to be anymore. </div>

Was so tired on my birthday's eve. I was completely drained out. Luckily, me and the girls didn't talk until sunrise like we always do when we meet up, which I really appreciate. I am old already, I need my sleep. Else, I'll look like a zombie. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Breakfast with the girls before I drive them back to Ann's house, nap a little while, and woke up to doll myself up for a dinner date with my partner. Uncle Alvin was also throwing a Christmas dinner with his family. My whole family was invited too. So, we decided to drop by for awhile before we go to our dinner at Tower 360. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Little did I know.. they prepared a surprise birthday for me too. Completely took me by surprise. I did not even detect anything weird. Or maybe I was too dense or did not expect it happening in my life. HAHA. Yes, my life is very mediocre.. nothing special happens. So yeah, this was definitely a big surprise. </div>

Looking back at my recent years, I rarely celebrated my birthday with my family on my exact birthday. I was in Kuantan last year, and Sipadan the previous year. Well, I don't remember the years before. Probably a good idea to keep track on my blog. </div>

For my birthday/Christmas countdown, I was in for a treat. He brought me to Tower 360 for a buffet supper. Thank you love ❤. I think I have been up the KL tower before, but I don't really remember. Maybe it was another tower in another country. I am not sure. But seeing it at night, I think it would definitely be my first. Not only that, also a first eating at a revolving restaurant up in the air! </div>

Look at my face, I was so scared because it kept on wiggling.</div>
<br />
My first prawning experience ever! I was scrolling around Fave app for some interesting activities to do. So, I saw this promotion of 10$ for an hour prawning experience in D'Best Fishing in Pasir Ris. Usual price was 18$. I didn't know these kind of activities would be that expensive. But anyway, yeah, it was a lot of fun!<br />
Although, he kept on complaining about how smart the prawns are in avoiding the bait because at another fishing center, he got the prawn biting in almost an instant. Well, I have to say it <b>is</b> very challenging. Because the prawn nibs around the bait instead of taking in head on, so it takes some skill to flick the fishing pole. <i>Here I am, explaining like I am a pro but in reality I have only had less than an hour experience</i>.<br />

And this little shit can't even handle the unhooking of the prawns, so I had to do it for him. He kept on complaining how cruel this activity was almost at all the times. If you need a party pooper, I can introduce you to a really good one that likes to nag too.</div>

We fished like 3 in total. Yeah, that bad. I cooked them back home and ate them. They don't taste very good for some reason. I don't know why. I thought it might be sweeter but they were tasteless. Yuck. Should have just froze them and cook them with something else. </div>

I'm now looking for a chance to go to a short trip to Kukup! And maybe do some fishing there. Hehe. I have been thinking of going there since few years back, it's just that it was never realized mostly because I... I don't know. I guess it would need some planning and also the inviting people part.. probably is the most difficult task to tackle. Let's see about this year. </div>

Grey really likes to lay around his fat body on our face in the morning while we are sound asleep. I have no idea why he does that. But he would literally slam his fat ass to our faces and just lay there. The above shows how my boyfriend was getting revenge, by sleeping on him when he fell down from above his head. He looks adorable though. </div>

Well, I think this is a wrap then. Since it's the end of my Dec post, I guess it's appropriate to wish everyone (that still read my blog) a very Happy New Year 2018! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I don't have any resolutions this year. I know it's more "productive" to have one. But I think I can't be bothered. I'm so lazy. I think I'm just interested in having dreams but I am not committed to them (geddit?). Alright, here's to another great year! MORE MONEY!</div>

Mostly because I'm still reflecting on recent happenings. I wrote it in Japanese so that it's not that cheesy.... I mean, I'm not some fifth grader anymore but it's always an area that I do not excel in. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It's just that.. recently I realize.. I'm just focusing on really depressing area and ignoring the people that I should treat better. It just felt like shit, you know, when you treat somebody nice, just so you expect the same thing from them but they don't really care, they only think about their own interest. While on the other hand, there are people who cares and worries about me, and I shun from them. What kind of sick world is this? </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'm also really caught up with this one "drama" that happened recently. I realize I am always sharing this story when I got the chance just so I can justify my action and get really upset about it. Truth to be told, I am still kind of caught up with it. I'm writing this here on my blog, and I promise myself I will just let things go after this. I've been replaying the whole scenario in my head a lot. It's been bothering me so much. You can be friends for a long time but that does not mean that everything is going to stay the same for all times. People change, our environment changes, our thinking and even our characteristics change but it does not justify that people should befriend me just because "I'm just like the old me" or get angry at me because "I'm not like the old me". I have come to a conclusion to just lessen down the negative interactions. Why waste so much negative energy on somebody who doesn't even look at the current you as you are? Honestly, I can't brain myself some times. </div>
<div>
I only realize this much too late. I want to just say goodbye to those "friends" that only think of themselves and not other people. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I should learn to say no and let it be. I won't waste my energy making some silly reasons to justify my unavailability. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And I do not understand myself, to try so hard just so that somebody who doesn't even respect me to like me. Like I'm trying so hard to impress them or interact with them. But in the end, I get "I'll hang out with you just because I have nothing to do" vibe. When we're out, they just occupy themselves with their phone. This is the worst, I mean there isn't even any trace of respect. I'm not even sure what the other person is thinking. Man, I don't even understand what I AM thinking, to even waste my energy with these kind of people. I'm gonna treat myself better, and just return the favor. Please Joey, no more. Just use that time and energy some where else. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Then there's these neutral friends. They can be a fun bunch to hang out together but you can't really rely on them too much. I don't have any problems with that but I was so bothered last time too. But now I learnt to just accept that this is reality. Other people have their own circle of friends too that they rather be with. They don't owe me anything.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Lastly, those friends that I should have treat better because they should be. Not that they are much to begin with. If I keep up my ignorance, well, I'm gonna have none in the future. I know I am always focusing on the negative side of things, but I have not completely forgotten the good friends that I have met in my life. Just that, my brain pushes them aside. I'll learn to look at the better picture. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I am going to sound cheesy again, but there's always this saying, "you can't clap with just one hand", I think it applies in this case as well. </div>

Another short short recap. Damn, I'm getting really bad at this. It's even hard to finish my monthly blog post! I'm such a procrastinator. <strike>I have an iPad but I didn't like how I cannot blog it in blogspot with it. *reasons*.</strike> But anyway, November passed by like an arrow, mainly because half of it I spent it in Japan. I went to Japan for the first time in my life. Went to Kansai region, and did a lot of stuff. I feel like there's just to much to explore there. However, I will write my Japan trip in another post. And most of my pics, I have already posted on my Instagram so I can lessen down the number of photos, or maybe just reused. Will be focusing more on the details. I would like to vlog instead actually but I just didn't have the experience. I mean, having to constantly record everything and talk to the camera. Not my thing. But I know it saves a lot of time. Anyway, for now, I'll just stick to the old way of doing things, that is to procrastinate and type everything. HAH.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
So, I re-contracted my line and got a new iPhone. No, I did not get the iPhone X, I got the iPhone 8 plus. So many people asked me "why???"... Like I have to get the latest iPhone instead of the mediocre one. Here are my thoughts:<br />
1. I didn't like the design, especially the weird top part, which may or may not hinder my process of video watching on the screen.<br />
2. Instead of fingerprints, I need to use my face... I don't know. I don't need that.<br />
3. For 200$ difference, I get a better front camera and the animoji function.... Naw, no thanks.<br />
<br />
But this is my first "plus" phone. It is very bulky. But after awhile, I got used to it. The only down side is that I can't fit into my pocket so I have to bring a bag if I want it to be easier for me. Well, anyway... Now, I can play with the portrait camera mode. I know I am so "last season" but hey.. not a problem for me. I don't need to keep up with the trend.<br />

Unfortunately, I kept on forgetting my camera has that portrait function. I kept on using the normal camera.. Well, to my defense I always use it to take photo of sceneries, so I guess landscape mode is more fitting. </div>

Went for a quick shopping trip around the area.. I forgot where this is. I think it's Zara at Midvalley? Dude, memory loss.... Zara have a lot of flowery shirts which actually I like but for the man to wear it, he has to have some.... criteria. I mean not anybody can pull off that look but most probably gay men can. Because you know, gay men are so fashionable. I remember seeing my ex-colleague Muhammad wore one, surprisingly he looks very good in it. I remembered many people complimented him including me but he is straight (just for the record HAHA).<br />
Okay, back to the present. So, I asked my partner to wear it. Somehow, with a small tummy, he looks like a "Datuk" LOL. But it looks better with a blazer.<br />

On a quest to find new shoes. So, I have this one pair of sneakers I bought back in 2015 when I was in Europe. It was from Adidas Neo, I really liked it and it was super comfy. Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end. I was slipping here and there because the outsole (or aka direct trans from Chinese, the base "flower") is gone because of constant friction from wearing it. I have lazy legs so I always drag dem feet whenever I walk. But it survived for 2 years, it's not bad. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So I thought "time for another pair". I tried on so many shoes and I can't find a good one. The ones that I like, doesn't suit my feet, because I am flat footed, bunion on my left foot and Morton's toe on my left feet also. Yes, I am "blessed" with a unique foot. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Funny thing was, I banned Nike from the very beginning. I just thought it was too overrated. I tried to find Adidas Ultraboost (it's fucking expensive I know, but it was super comfy when I tried it out last time), but I couldn't find it this time in MidValley. I don't know why, maybe they stopped re-stocking that particular one. Then I got my eyes on the new EQT black and mint one, but the base was too small for my foot (Noooooooooooooooooooo, whyyyyyyyyyyy). I tried Puma, New Balance, some random ass shoe shops.. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In the end, I went to Nike to give it a try. I know I said I banned Nike but because I'm so desperate for shoes. Then, I bought 2 pairs there. Lol. Funny. Honestly I was planning to just buy 1 pair but since it's so hard for me to find shoes, I decided to just buy 2 pairs which I find pleasant and comfortable. Well, now I have to find a pair of flats or a dinner shoes. Because I've been wearing my Birkenstock to weddings, I'm feeling so ashamed each time I did that. HAH. </div>

Okay, now I'm going to talk about this recent clay mask that I tried. I'm sure y'all have been seeing all the ads on facebook. It's everywhere. They have paid a lot to facebook, I'm sure. So, after seeing the videos on the ads for so many times, I decided that I have to try it. I bought 2 at first and I think there was some 10% discount. It costed 118.83SGD for 2 jars, meaning one for 59$+. I know some of the people thinks it is very expensive but the price range is actually quite okay. Because for one jar, you can use for 15 times at least (that's what some reviewer said). But I think it lasted more than that, because I have been using this 3 times a week and for the past 8 weeks (minus the Japan trip hiatus). I am still left with 1/3 of the product in the jar. So, when you think about it, it's like (59/3*2)/(8*3) <i>*Trust me I am an engineer*</i> = <b>< 2$ for one use</b>. Hello, it's <b>effin cheap </b>okay. I think if you go Watson <i>cincai</i> buy one mask also need 3$ <i>lor</i>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Not only that, this product works miracle for me. I can see instant result in one use. My skin brightens up instantly. I also feel that I have less pimples now. I am not sure it's the effect of my clay mask or it's the new pimple cream that my doctor introduce to me because I started both at almost the same time. But I would like to believe it works too. HAH. Okay, not very convincing but I've tried clay mask before, and this clay mask is easy to use, it comes with a brush and also it washes off easily. It smells very nice too. The only downside is that it <b>will</b> sting your face. Actually, it didn't matter to me, I felt it was okay. At some point it does sting a lot but bearable. After it dries up, it's okay again. I've read some reviews too that their skin becomes red after washing it off but mine became brighter. Some times, a little redness but it goes away after a few minutes. So, I guess it depends on your skin type. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
They also have this crazy sale period in November and I got 2 jars for 88SGD which is like a super steal for me! The expiry date is still long way ahead. I think it's very worth it. </div>

I know durian pizza has been trending for quite awhile but as you know I am slow as always.. I'm always 10 steps away from the trend. I know I know. But anyway, just want to try this out. It seems like there's quite many pizza place that serves durian pizza. For this particular one, we had it at Tino's Which is a franchise of italian pizza & food in Singapore. We ordered the Mao Shan Wang. We figured we might as well go big or go home. </div>

Had this idea to make a gif because I saw this blog that has a cool gif instead of video on the blog post which is very creative. I liked the idea. Anyway, this footage is from one of the instastory video I had. I used Tumblr to make the GIF so there's some time limit for one gif file but I guess better than nothing. </div>

As for the pizza, it's just mediocre and it may be a little too much for 2 person. As it's all cream on top, it's very stuffy. I'll probably advice people to just buy the durian and eat the fruit. You can skip the dough. Okay, maybe once in a lifetime but once is enough. </div>

Also, my first time at a boardgame event in Singapore. I went there alone to play with strangers. Yes, that's how daunting it sounded. But actually it was pretty fun. Even made some new friends but.. more like hi bye friend because we only met once and we did not exchange any info. LOL. There's some that I instantly clicked with. But with board games, it's definitely easier because everyone is in such a jolly mood. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I played a total of 3 games. I think the one that I enjoyed the most was "Pi mal Pflaumen", a game about planting a fruit farm and making juices out of them, figuratively. Didn't have a good photo of it but I only have a very good looking photo of the last game I played called "Tokyo Highway", a 2 player board game or should I say, construction game. The concept is very unique and also the players need to have a very steady hand to play this game! Actually I planned to just play 2 games, but the last one was like.. "Hey, do you wanna play this game with this girl, it's only 15 mins, it won't take too long". But it lasted like 30-40 mins or so I think. LOL. I was killing time while waiting for my family to arrive to Singapore anyway. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I enjoyed it very much. And for like 5$ per session with one free drink, it's not half bad! I want to go play again but it seems like I hadn't have the time recently with all the holiday weekends. It's held every Friday near my house. Can't wait till I go there again!</div>

The main reason why my family came, it's because of Ed Sheeran's concert. Well, only my brother and me anyway. My mum came here together with him just for the heck of it.<br />
And Ed Sheeran.. Hoh mai... Best. Concert. Ever. Period.<br />
Now, my next concert to go The 1975's. I would love to go to Khalil Fong's but his recent music is not my type.. Sorry Khalil, I'm still a fan but only to your old songs.<br />
<br />
Anyway, back to Ed.<br />

I think I recorded almost all the songs that he performed. Because my brother was a super fan too. So, we kinda took turn to record. He even performed on of my favorite song "I See Fire", and I literally had goosebumps. That was so unexpected weh. Like he was singing a cover of "Feeling Good" then suddenly he broke off and sang "I See Fire" and I was hysterical. </div>

Okay, this is kinda random.. but when have I ever am normal with my post anyway. Anyway, if you really like the Korean flavored almonds, you can get it cheap at islandwide Choco Express stores in Singapore. I've already surveyed, it's the cheapest one I can find. Don't bother going to Shine Korea. Get it here. Heck, you don't even need to buy it in Korea. </div>

It was finally Thum's wedding. I think.. this is like.. the first ever wedding of a close friend that I have attended. <strike>Not like I have many of them anyway.</strike> I wasn't the "<i>heng dai</i>" or the "<i>ji mui</i>", but mainly as the photographer.. with my iPhone. HAHAHA. Anyway, it was a lot of fun, reminded me a lot about my university time when we always gather and go out <i>lepak</i>. Happy day! </div>

And we headed to second round after the dinner. Even without the bride and groom again. It was a lot of fun though. I think this is the second time I am out with these bunch of idiots for a drink. Cause you know, I don't drink. But dancing part and being silly with everyone was really fun. Look forward to the next wedding (that would be Eric's and Cindy's in March)! </div>

<b>// Short update of my life //</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Will be increasingly and incredibly busy from now on, since I went to a training in Germany, everyone thinks I am an expert now, therefore, more tasks to be done.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
With increasing work task, my need to find something else to do is also increasing. Currently on the look out for embroidery material. Yes, I was doing cross stitch before, but this embroidery is another stuff. Similar but different and looks super fun! Can't wait to get started. But I somehow tell myself to finish my cross stitch project first (that has been unfinished for 2 years or more). I don't like any pending projects but I have a lot of it some how and it's piling up. Not good.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm so broke starting from October. It seems like all I do is spend spend spend. I am not sure why, but everything seems to be happening at once. New shoes, new medicine, new skincare and vacation splurge.</div>

I know it's quite a task to find a good place to eat in Singapore. No offence to Singaporeans, but you know it's true or my tastebuds are just too used to too flavorful food. Anyway, this noodle shop is def noteworthy. </div>

It's a type of wan tan mee, I know it looks different from the typical one. I think this is something like kolomee (the type of noodle I think?). I wasn't really expecting for much, but just wow.. When I have that first mouthful, I'm hooked! I am also in love with the fact that the "zhu you za" is refillable and it is in a self service corner! Meaning you can take as much as you like. *Fat alert* but it's just so darn goooooooooood. Craving for this ever since the first visit.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I am not really a fan of wan tan mee and I rarely ever order wan tan mee if there are other choices of food around. But this is definitely an exception because it doesn't taste like the normal ones I have had.</div>

This trip was planned to happen, but I didn't know when. Honestly, I thought it wasn't going to happen because there was a lack of discussion for this topic.. Until it was almost time for my "predecessor's" 3 weeks vacation at the end of October. Therefore, this rush business trip was made a reality. I only had like 2 weeks to finalize and process the request. Because of this last min planning, I had to book 3 different hotels during my stay cause apparently most of the nearby hotels are all booked out for some convention. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's not that bad though. It's a blessing in disguise actually. Meaning I get to explore different places and also to experience living in different places. I actually really liked it. </div>

My flight was bound to take off on a Saturday (late) night but it got delayed. 5 hours to be exact. I was dumbstruck cause I don't wanna spend 5 hours in the airport and it's in the middle of the night, what can I do there? Luckily during check-in, they offered a place to stay and also free buffet supper for us. Even though it's 30mins drive and we can only get like less than 3 hours of sleep there. At least they tried so no complains here.</div>

Truth to be told, I only know how to draw half of a face, and I don't usually finish drawing the face outline either, because once I do, it will look totally weird. Gone are the days I understand proportions, and now I am left with this awkward talent to draw right eyes.. I don't know how to draw the matching left eyes. HAHAHA. I don't know why. I want to learn drawing again, but somehow I don't know where to start and it's kind of frustrating.<br />

And fast forward to Friedrichshafen where I will be staying for the first week there. Miraculously, I fainted through most of the flight. Only manage to watch Baby Driver which is good enough I guess. Had to transit in Frankfurt but it didn't take very long. Settled down in the hotel around 4pm, showered, and went out for a walk. The bus come every hour so I didn't wait for it, I choose to walk to the lake instead. I think it took me like 45 mins. I thought it would do me good after sitting for more than half a day in the plane. Since it's a Sunday, nothing is open except for a few restaurants. </div>

First meal in Germany, kebab. Because it's satisfies the three -ngs from this one chinese saying. "Peng, leng, jeng", which translate to "Cheap, pretty, great". Doesn't really make that much sense when I do the literal translation, but I think you know what I mean. It's cheap, it's filling, and it's fucking tasty. And of course, gelato for dessert. I'm so pampered. </div>

Had strong wind when I was walking but at least it's not raining. Actually, I experienced a pretty great weather when I was there. It wasn't raining at all during my 2 weeks stay. It only started to rain when I was going off. I also witness like a 20 seconds hail when I was boarding my flight from Friedrichshafen to Franfurt. They say it was quite warm for October, and it's not common. Global warming.<br />

It's not as cheap as in Singapore but the network is good considering it's a small town. There was internet in the bus too which I appreciate because I didn't have any sim card at that time, since all the shops are closed, it wasn't possible for me to buy on that day. And the internet was super fast okay, not those laggy sort. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's quite funny actually. I mean consider this. Wi-Fi can be easily found in Germany, even in the bus but you won't see people preoccupied with their smartphones or gadgets as much as you see here in Asia. Like Singapore, wherever you go, you're bound to see people walking while looking at their phones not the road itself. Even when there isn't any free Wi-Fi or something. Culture?</div>

Managed to get an approval to rent a car because it's so much cheaper and easier since I am moving to 3 hotels anyway. Plus, it's the countryside, it's not easy to find food by foot. And I assure you, the company will only pay the taxi fee if and only if it's from and to the office. Had to have a workaround for that. </div>

It's my first time driving on the right side of the road and driving in the left part of the car. Plus, it's a big car... I mean <b>big.</b> My mum doesn't let me drive her car, or just shows lack of confidence for me to do so. It made me believe I really can't do it. Therefore, I avoid any chance of driving her Harrier. But lo and behold, you can anything once you are put in a situation whereby it is absolute necessary for you to do so. I drove it and *thank the heavens* nothing extraordinary happened. I even nailed all the parkings (both side and reverse, HAH!). I am feeling so proud right now. </div>

Bought a 10 days Visa for Austria. Need this to cross the Autobahn between Germany and Austria. We have tolls in Malaysia and ERP in Singapore. Basically, this is the same but you don't need to tap your card in and out every time you cross some place. You can just buy this sticker and stick it onto your windshield and cross as many times as you want for those designated days that you bought. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Austria has a choice of 10 days, 2 months and 12 months sticker. Whilst for Autobahn sticker for Switzerland, it's only possible to buy the 1 year pass. </div>

I was actually planning to go to Switzerland for the weekend as I went there before and I loved the alps. But it seems like it was very expensive to travel there by car. My colleagues recommended me to go to Austria instead, there's Alps there too but it's so much cheaper than Switzerland. Luckily for me, I listened to them. I asked Oli, one of the colleagues in Markdorf for some recommendations as according to them, he travels a lot to Austria and he should know a lot of good places to go. He recommended some few places, and I chose the Lünersee.</div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Bought a ticket to take the Lünerseebahn (cable car). Visitors can opt to hike to the top too, but I thought I could hike down later instead. BAD decision. You'll know why soon.</td></tr>

The place is just <b>so very absolutely and incredibly majestic</b>.<b> </b>I reached a little late on Saturday, around 12pm. Although it's October, it's a bit cold but not very as the sun was shining brightly that day. It's a great weekend to be outside. I actually went back up again to the lake on Sunday because I really really liked it there.<br />
There's a few "huts" there where you could book your bed and stay there. I contacted <a href="http://www.douglasshuette.at/" target="_blank">Douglass Hütte</a> but apparently the private rooms are all booked out and they are left with a few beds in the dorm. I'm not really keen on sharing rooms with strangers not to mention sleeping side by side with one. So, instead, I book a room at the nearest town called Brand. <span id="goog_1988930822"></span><br />
Then up there, I was ready to challenge the hike to Totalphütte! The estimated time to get there from the cable car station was 1hour 15min. At that time, I didn't know it was a "German" estimation. Strictly speaking, I wasn't in a shape whereby I am at the German standard of a normal hiker. If I would have to put it... Lv30 hiker can reach there in 1h 15m, but I am only at Lv 5. It took me like 1h and a half and I still have like 800m to go. To my defense, I was stopping frequently and I was taking pictures at every intervals. I couldn't reach the hut in the end because there was so much snow and my shoes are not right for the occasion. I would slip and fall to my death if I were to continue. No kidding. So, if you are interested in hiking in the alps, please come prepare with good hiking shoes. And not those made for jungle trekking, but the ones they have there in Europe. The solid and waterproof ones.<br />
Okay now, I'll just let these pictures do all the talking.<br />

And now the fun part... Let me show you the hike down the alps instead of taking the cable car down. I was muttering "Mamma Mia" all the time when I was going down. It took me like 1h of hiking to get down to the carpark. Oli did warn me about the "Devil's Step" part from the hiking route, it would be difficult but manageable. Well, I did survive, so I guess it <b>is</b> manageable but I would not want to go through that again.<br />

During the way back, instead of the highway, I decided to drive through the Alps instead. It was definitely a challenge because the roads are all so narrow and windy. Not to mention, I was driving a very big car. I think I can safely say that I have unlocked an achievement and I have driven in the Alps before! #LicenseToBrag</div>

I have so much new things to experience during that business trip. One of it was taking the ferry to get to work. I booked my hotel quite late so all the hotels (within my company's budget) were actually booked out within the nearby area. So, I only had the choice of sleeping at the neighboring town across the lake. So, every morning and evening, I had to drive to the port and get on the ferry. </div>

But it kind of sucks because once you press an add-on (like breakfast or parking), you cannot cancel it even if you have not paid. And when you do so, you have to pay for whatever you have chosen in order for you to get your card key. What a scam! I don't like it. I was actually playing around with the system because I want to know the total if I added breakfast into my package. In the end, I couldn't cancel it and it was even written explicitly there that I couldn't cancel it. Guh.. Should have read it carefully before. Okay, it was half my fault but what kind of rules is that??? </div>

Had a really nice boardgame session with a bunch of strangers. Heiko invited me for an evening out. It seems like it is a ritual for him to bring colleagues from oversea to the usual routine of kebab dinner and board game night. It was really fun and I am hooked! I am even joining some board games session back in Singapore too (well, so far, only one gathering but it sure is fun too!).<br />

Bought a new eyeliner there and was so inspired by Lauren Tsai to try the winged eyeliner look. Truth to be told, the look doesn't suit my eye shape because of my hooded eyelid. *sad*</div>

I got a free day on Friday so I thought I would drive to somewhere else for some walkies. I was thinking of going to Austria again but I didn't really have a lot of time on hand, I only have like half a day for it. So, I drove to Immenstadt im Allgäu. There is a huge lake there so I thought I would walk around it. </div>

Little did I know, it was a really really big lake, and I think I walked like 3-4 hours to complete the whole circle around the lake. I was actually regretting it halfway. But since I had walked half way through, it didn't really matter if I make a U-turn or walk the whole way round. In the end, I managed to walk a complete circle but walking beside the road was so dangerous. There wasn't much space for pedestrian to walk. But thank goodness that was like 35% of the route... which actually is not much but also not little. Thank goodness I survived. </div>

Manage to meet up with my ex-housemate, Sevda. I met this kindred soul when I first went to Germany and started my 5 month journey abroad alone. She was my housemate and we definitely clicked. So glad to be able to see her again after more than 2 years!</div>

I was so excited when I saw Sam Rui posting that she will be performing at Noise Invasion Festival at Haw Par Villa. I have never heard of such a place before I went there for the first time. According to my GrabHitch driver, the place was a really popular place among older generations when they were teenagers. That was the most hip place to hang out actually before the other fancier place was built. There is also a history about that place regarding the Tigerbalm brothers here but I don't remember much. Well, I just knew they have a heck load of statues there.<br />

But this is the main attraction (in my point of view). I'm glad I got like a free front row seat view of her performance before she got so very famous that she starts charging 200$ for a seat at her concert. LOL. Young and talented Sam Rui, and she is just 20 years old. Looking forward for her future works. </div>

HAHA! I am always having this eyebrow dilemma because I was told off that my straight eyebrows look that I have been drawing looks super weird. If you are a guy, I think this topic is going to be very boring for you, so just scroll along. Ladies, you know what I am saying right? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I thought straight brows was the "in-thing" because of the Korean trend?? Eh?? I guess I was wrong?? I then tried to grow my brow out and try the arch look. Well, okay I have to give credit to my friend that told me off because I think I like my eyebrow better when it's with an arch and not straight. But you know what? There is no wrong or right way of doing your brows so just experiment with it. You can shave all of it if you want to if you are into those things. What I want to say is, just do what you like.....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here I am, preaching but yet cannot make up my own mind. But currently, I have been letting my brows grow out as much as they want. I have not plucked or shave for awhile now. No maintenance at all. Then when I have to go out, I just draw the shape that I want. So, now, it actually looks very different every day when I try to draw them in since now I do not have a definite frame to follow. HAHAHA. <span style="font-size: xx-small;">*so proud of my laziness, Idk why*</span></div>

Finally, I have finished writing all these down after a month delay. Was suppose to write this in November but I was busy with Japan trip. So, had to do this in December instead. I can't imagine how long it will take for me to blog about my Japan trip. If I manage to post most of the pictures on Facebook/Instagram then I think I do not need to post as much things. Just more words I guess? That actually takes up most of the time. I don't talk much but when I write, I am like a different person with too much things to talk about.</div>

Obviously I was caught by surprised and my mind was blank. How the flying duck would I know? I don't really think about buying things everyday, although I did have this idea of keeping a "want list" but I was just to lazy to even open a new note in my phone and jot it down when I have a good inkling of what I want.<br />
<br />
But hey, today I'll just try really hard and write down this list. Maybe I'll just keep updating this list for the next few days (because I am fickle minded like that).<br />
<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li><strike><b>Mini Instax Films</b>. Because I need them for my Mini 8 camera (which I rarely use anymore, because it's kind of forgotten and it's kind of bulky to bring around BUT it takes really good photos. So, I try to use it as much as I can. And I have only 5 films left right now. Any amount of donation is fine. Thank you.)</strike> <span style="color: #ef5350;">I think Uncle Alvin is getting me this since he was asking me about it through my mum. Muahaha</span></li>
<li><strike><b>Kingdom Hearts 1.5 + 2.5 Remix</b> and <b>Kingdom Hearts 2.8 Remix </b>for <b>PS4</b>. I love my games.</strike> <span style="color: #ef5350;">I bought these two for myself recently</span></li>
<li><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">Since I like games, would like<b> Okami HD </b>for PS4. I even got a tattoo of it because I like the wolf a lot.</span></li>
<li><b>Time</b>. I need time. Somebody please find a way to slow down time or just give me something that could make me travel back in time</li>
<li><b>Catnips</b>... for my cats</li>
<li><b>Cash donations for my bunion surgery</b> because it's giving me a lot of problems when I go travelling</li>
<li>A <b>camcorder </b>so I can start vlogging and stuff, upload it on Youtube, gain a million followers and then quit my job. </li>
<li>A <b>Macbook</b>, so that I can edit my vlogs in it and play Final Fantasy XIV all day long</li>
<li>Since I said about playing <b>Final Fantasy XIV</b>, then I would also need the <b>one year fee</b> for playing it. </li>
<li>A <b>yoga mat</b>. Mine have some minor scratches on it (no thanks to my cats) and it's flaking off</li>
<li>A <b>clothes/bag hanger </b>so that I can put my bags, currently my room is a mess because I don't know where to hang my bags. </li>
<li><b>A house</b>, my own house. Which probably is not good as a gift, I will have to buy that for myself. I have too much shits, I need somewhere so that I can put my stuff and deco in it. </li>
</ol>
<div>
I have a feeling this list is going to grow.. </div>

Clever and impulsive me decided to go to the Yayoi Kusama's exhibition on the last weekend in Singapore. I must be crazy to do that because the queue was 2 hours long, just to get the ticket and that is not the end of the queue yet. You still have to queue up to ENTER the exhibition, which is another 1-2 hours. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Knowing it was a hellavu wait, I gave up. Since we were there, it was a bit dumb to actually go back home empty handed. So, we went on ahead into the museum for the other free exhibitions. </div>

Got a free entrance to the Flower Dome in Gardens By The Bay, all thanks to June's brother. *Thanks again! I doubt he'll be reading this but I just felt it's more polite to at least type it down* It was my first time in the Flower Dome and it was pretty impressive. I've been to Gardens by the Bay but just the free admission part of the place. Never paid to go in to some other special section. Now, I know the difference.</div>

There was a humongous pumpkin uncle in the middle and some special pumpkin fest going on but we didn't take his picture because we thought it was kind of creepy. So yeah. I'm not gonna give you nightmares. However, you could see his back from the picture above. That's about it. </div>

We also went to do some roller blading at East Coast Park before we went to Night Safari Zoo. After that we went on a mini food hunt at Udders and Ming Fa Fishball noodles (awesome bak chor mee) at Upper Thomson Rd. It was a long long day but a productive one. </div>

On a quest to find a new sneakers.

Unfortunately EQT cutting is not a good fit to my feet and the whole black New Balance seems a bit odd on my feet. The quest to find the perfect sneakers has not ended yet. I'm also aiming for ultraboost (because it's effin comfortable but also it will burn a hole into my wallet), but I'll have to think about it. </div>

And here are some random selfies when I have nothing better to do on my weekend. I was playing around with make up again and Snow app. All the imperfections gone with one camera app. Lol. I'm just in denial of all my imperfections that comes with aging. I still can't believe I'm 25 this year. I mean... I feel like I've just left university not long ago. <strike>I want to be a young adult forever!</strike> </div>

Anyway, I've been studying Japanese recently. I even bought two exercise books *dedication*. I have downloaded the pdf for Japanese for Busy People I, but for the life of me, I cannot find the audio file anywhere online. So, I ended up buying Japanese from Zero! since it was recommended by PewDiePie or Marzia in one of their videos. Actually I bought 2 books, vol. I and II.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I was hoping for an audio CD but unfortunately, there's none. Though the books are quite thick with 250++ pages. Vol. I progressively teaches hiragana and there's a lot of romaji too. Vol II teaches katakana. I already know hiragana, so it's not really helping much. I am also learning katakana but it's still a bit hard for me to read them. I'm already half way through the first book. The writing hiragana part is not that much of a help for me but the grammar part is very good. It's easy to understand but I guess it's super beginner level. It's good to learn them as a basic I guess. </div>

We had a steak party the other night before Jason flies off to Malaysia for his long business trip. This is the second time we cooked that much steak in our place. We thought the result would be better on the second try, unfortunately, all the beef steak was over-seasoned. Too much salt. I felt like I've been drinking 3L of water in under one hour. HAHA. Super satisfied with the sauteed mushroom and onion though.</div>

Went out for a dinner with a friend and discovered maybe the best pork knuckle vinegar in Singapore. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/MunCheeKee/" target="_blank"> Authentic Mun Chee Kee King of Pig's Organ Soup</a>, try it out if you can. Although the pig organ soup is still okay. I prefer the one at another branch. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My friend took be to throw dart after. I can't remember how long was it that I have threw my last dart. Probably around 5 years maybe. I don't remember but I guess it was during my university years. I have no idea how to aim, I only know how to throw. Anyone would. </div>

Some miracle happened. Yes, I threw all 3 darts in the picture above. No, only two actually hit bulls eye. One of it was a bit out. Believe it. I was shocked, my friend was even amazed by it. It's just pure luck. Or maybe I was possessed by some pro dart thrower idk. But it only happened for that one round. I didn't manage to hit bulls eye anymore I think after that. HAHAHA. Gosh, I surprised myself some times. </div>

Took an evening bus back to Malaysia on a Friday. Went straight for dinner and pool with some friends that I have long seen. It does bring back memories. I miss those times where I have more friends to hang out with whenever. *Sad*. Went home late and slept around 4am and had to wake up early the next day for renewing my license. It was expired last year, I didn't realize that until a few months ago. But I was rarely driving in Malaysia anyway.. but still.</div>

We didn't know where to go actually for dessert. So, we were just spending time at Aleena's home before lunch to think about where to go and so. Since KL and Selangor is so big but also we don't want to drive so far. We ended up going to HarajuCube for dessert because the post on Instagram looks amazing. Then went to MidValley to do some shopping before going to our AirBnB.</div>

Thanks for the weekend babes. Although I only got like 2 hours of sleep, we talked a lot, maybe learn a little more about myself which I didn't know, and also made me think about the future. I know I am hopeless but I hope I can sort my shit out as best as I can. </div>

If you've watch Terrace House Aloha State, you'll know who this is. If you don't, well, you're missing out. Lauren Tsai! My crush of the moment. HAH. She's very interesting, she's only 19 but is already making a name for herself in the model and art industry. <strike>What am I doing with my life.</strike> </div>

I finished my Muay Thai trial classes last month, and I got myself some "souvenirs". This is what you get for not kicking with the correct part of your leg. It is hard to aim, I have to say and it's damn painful hitting the sand bag. It's fun though when I nailed all those moves that the instructor call out. It feels like an achievement. Bought another trial promo at another gym, will try it out by the end of the month when I'm back. </div>

I found a drunk guy sleeping in front of our house the other day when I was going out for a hike on a Saturday morning. Actually he woke us up the night before at like 3 am, he was shouting and banging on our neighbour's door. Since I am in the room next to the corridor, I can hear everything. Our HDB has thin walls and I am a light sleeper which makes everything worse. The first round of noise last quite long, then he fell asleep, then woke up again at 4am and made some ruckus and again an hour later. I couldn't sleep at all. I think I only slept like 1 hour plus before I had to wake up for my morning hike. No thanks to this drunkarse. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We did thought of calling the police on the first round, but since he quieted down, we didn't. Never knew he would wake up and do it again. Next time I'll call for the police straight. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's scary but at the same time funny though. I had to tip-toed out of the house. Not only is the guy on the floor, his phone, wallet, keys and fake teeth was all over the floor. Yes, a fake set of teeth. I will never forget that. Hahaha. </div>

Rainy season came early this year. Normally we only get this kind of weather in November or December. It seems like this year we have in early in September. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I like it, honestly. I much prefer rainy and cloudy days than sunny ones. I don't know, it just make me feel elevated. Like I can do anything. I'm in the high part of a roller coaster (if you know what I mean). I don't think so much depressing thoughts, I just feel like exploring and trying new things. It's weird I know. Also, it made me appreciate the daily scenery that I can see. Like these...</div>

Had a nice evening jog at Toa Payoh park too and discovered this Japanese styled garden in there.<br />
<br />
That's it for September.<br />

Hope October will treat me good.<br />
