Japan Updates

Althought it has been almost 3 mths since we have got back( and back to reality) i have been procrastinating to upload the pictures..since now im at my school camp...(no sleep for the last 15 hrs- my xin has it worse, he has to be on night like any other day-but oh well) i have decided to FINALLY upload the pictures - to remind us of our happy days and also xin can be PROUD of me :)

Day 1: At the Airport

Our flight was delayed not once but twice. And it was after check-in, then we found out that there were some technical issues-something to do with the hydraulic pump on the plane.

We had to wait for a total of 3 hours before we could go on flight. So we decided to take some pictures -before and after( to see if we grew fatter after pigging out in Japan).

The refreshments provided by SIA were terrible.


Look at the people rushing for food.
We had cold cheese sandwich and bland tea. (Would have expected SIA to have provided something better for us.)

Our breakfast on flight.

Western Breakfast (Not very memorable)

Oriental Breakfast (Not very memorable as well)

In Japan(Land of the Rising Sun)
We had booked the Limousine bus service when we purchase our air tickets and accomodation and i must say the japanese work like clock work!

We were waiting at the pick up point for the bus, sitting at some bench near it. As we were more anxious looking at the map, the bus came and went! it did not even stop for 2-3 minutes to see if anyone else would be getting on.

And we missed the bus. Thank goodness, we could make an exchange for the ticket and took a later one but we had to wait in the cold.Taking the limousine bus was very convenient - we managed to get to our hotel Shinjuku Washington without any fuss.

i went into a frenzy and bought clothes just to go JAPAN haha!
i don want to be or-bi there, i wanna be pretty too :)

Happy 26th Birthday to my Darling!!

Today is my beloved darling 26th birthday!! didnt get the chance to celebrate her birthday on sat night as i was working on night shift..

My darling anxious to open her birthday prezzie and busy complaining about the "quality" of the cards

Darling's Daddy and the two little kids!

We went to Rabbit brand resturant to have our dinner. We were to engrossed with the food that we forgotten to take a single pic of the food that we had..tsk tsk the food was not too bad but not fantastic also.. Didi with his ah ma

Darling posing with Didi!

Not forgetting mei mei!

Dear's blackforest cake from Hanis

Cutting cake time!!

With Ah Si!

Dear with his brother and family!!

Dear with me!!(and ah mei in all the pictures!!)

heheh didi looking anxiously, cant wait for the cake to be cut what a 贪吃 boy!!

I got a Postcard today!!

I recieved a postcard from my dearest today all the way from Macau..so sweet of him :) especially he remembered bringing my address overseas just to write to me. I will probably forgot his address already hehz!

But one thing i would like to complain about him- can you call me when you are in overseas? Don't wait for me to call you k :(

And darling, i really really miss you alot- im very upset over what my dentist had to tell me...and i really want to tell you and have you comfort me.when are you coming back? can you ask to captain to sail faster?

Money no enough

My 3rd floor neighbour is selling off his flat and i immediately told xin about it!

won't it be great living so near to my mummy :)

but the selling price is a little too steep and just making some simple calculations and comparing it to our savings we have, i guess we can barely afford it and not forgetting the other works like wedding banquet, wedding photos, ang baos, rings, renovations, electrical appliances...(getting depressed by the moment)

Going to take forever to save it just to get married!and on top of that, lazy xin seems unbothered by all these..humpf!must be his evil plot to get us stay in simei!

Sick ppl!

Both of us fell sick recently...

I had urine tract infection- another dose of antibiotics!yucks! and xin had some mysterious virus attack again!

I often contract urine tract infection probably due to my dislike of using public toilets, always find them filthy and also due to the lack of water...(and also my job nature-imagine not being able to go toilet for 3 hours..)

And xin hardly fall sick however when he does it becomes very very serious!he takes days or even weeks to get better!

Like now, he cant even hold a proper conversation with me..:(

Hope he does get well soon!so worried for him

Our Batam Trip (2nd to 3rd Aug 08)

Our Batam Trip (2nd to 3rd Aug 08)

Both darling and me have been stressed out by work therefore we decided to go nearby Batam for a short getaway before our year end Japan trip(cant wait for it to come sia). Kudos for darling for making all the arrangements sia! She's the best!Muaks muaks heheh :)

As Didi was sick and need to go and see Dr Gan, darling popped by my house (very rare) to go harbourfront together. We had to go slightly earlier as the ferry tickets were not confirmed.

Off we go!! Reached Seah Inn carpark around 11+ and we lugged our barang barang to get our ferry tickets. Once done, hehe, time for our favourtie pasttime!! Makan time!!

Darling decided to go and eat the Hongkong Kim Gary Resturant(endorosed by Bosco Wong).

What we ordered

My set lunch got soup ordered the cream soup not sure what is it though. Taste normal ..

Our YuanYang drinks: Me icecold and hottie darling!!



DArling ordered Korean spicy soup based witht minced pork. I tried abit of the soup which i tot was not too bad, but dear felt it was too spicy. Tink her level of tolerance for spicyness is getting lowerer, she used to eat more spicy stuff than me like Eng's Wanton mee.

My pork chop baked rice: i tot it was one of the better HK styled baked rice that i ever tried. Those like simi yellow signboard all quite tasteless.. yippe going hongkong soon end of the month but dear dear is not going with me sob sob..nvm next year we shall go for a short trip there!!

On the ferry towards Batam, saw alot of Ah tiongs, they must be bloody rich kids sia.. most of them quite fashionable wear sunglasses, carry branded bao bao tsktsk but the worst part is they are damn irritating, can make up there mind where to sit..

Upon reaching batam, we chop chopp put down our bags and went for our spa treatment.

Hmm not sure why they put us in two different rooms... however, the massage was not bad much better than the previous one we had at Harris.. Bintan was the best.!!!the soothing music the strength, the drinks.. chill out lounge..

As usual, felt asleep halfway, woke up only it was too hot, never switch on the fan for me arrgghhh..

oh ya the ginger tea was hot and yucky.. and we decided to hop on a cab and go to Batam centre--MegaMall!!

When we reached there, it was already past 7 (SIN time), we decided to go and eat again!! As we too lazy and calves and thighs aching from the massage(strange though), we went into this Ayam Penyet restarant to have our dinner. oh ya darling was pissed as she could not find her wallet. hehe she left it in the hotel room if not i'm in for some trouble!!

We ordered the same Ayam Penyet and the portion was extremely small... but the chicken was quite tender and the chilli was goood!! the best part?? it only cost less than SGD5 for the both of us!! the worst part?? i not full at all!!! off we went to hunt for more food!! actually is me lar!!!

decide to have A&W as we no longer can have it in singapore... i love the rootbeer float....we wanted tthe fries and float only.. but arrgghh might as well have the entire meal bhhahaa so piggy!!!

Hehe my kawaii darling did an masterpiece(Simily face) using the sauces and curly fries!!

after some shopping here and there, we went to J.Co to buy some donuts!! which much cheaper as compared to singapore.

We ordered half a dozen of donuts!!

Hehe caffeine addiction!! ordered a mochabella and a free plain donut too !! happy!!

My 1st serving of breakfast

Dear's breakfast!

Dear went to take a weird fruit!! which is very ugly when u open it up!
