Watashi wa back from Japan on Wednesday evening. We had quite a rush iternary through out the 7 days there at Osaka, Kyoto and Tokyo. From upon reaching the first morning over there at Osaka, Kansai airport. Shagged is the word coz sleeping on the plane is juz disturbing wif stiff neck, back and shoulder and have to wake up to haf drinks and breakfast. Changing into our wollen clothings as well thus we had only 4 hrs of sleep only. lol. but even though we had such a tight iternary, we did enjoy ourselves. Particularly, i love Kyoto. bcoz the place displays much of their culture and tradition. Wld love to go tht part of Japan again. Osaka was mainly at the Universal Studios. Dont really like it there much as compared to Tokyo Disneyland. Tokyo Disneyland is wayyy better than the one we went at HK. bigger, more attractions, games and rides. They even sell Curry and Chocolate popcorns, aside frm the usual caramel ones. Taste fantastic ! The rides there are freaking awesome. Those deciding to go Tokyo shld never miss out Disneyland. Tried hot spring as well. and dont be fooled by tv as they always put a towel on. the actual one shld haf nth on. I tried coz we were the only ones occupying the hotel tht night. My sis was too freaked to try so i went alone in and she waited outside. Kinda having difficulty wif this Jap lady inside assisting me how to start coz of language barrier. I haf hell of a hard time getting her to understand what i wan and what shes trying to tell me. =.=" the hot spring bath is HOT like burning. but relaxing there. I dont mind going in there the next time now tht i know how its like =) Bullet train is freaking 3times faster than our mrt here. So damn cool! Temperatures at Japan ranging frm 3-18 degrees celsius depending on the day itself. Freezing cold but cooling ! tho i hate it when it rains coz it seems like its not going to stop. My skin is peeling abit now. probably not enuff moisturizers put on my face. "oh great"!Met a traumatizing incident over there at Tokyo. The tour grp brought us to a Shinjuku, known to be the red-light district at Tokyo. Was given some free time to walk ard by ourselves so me and sis walked along the pathway of the street until theres 3 tall and big Tokyo men wif black coats came and confronted us. First they kept bugging us wif ur Japanese language which we so dont understand what they were saying and showing us their so-called 'police officer cards'. Despite us shunning them, the more aggressive they reacted towards us until one of our tour grp members came and wanna help but cldnt really help much bcoz of the language prob again. Until at the point i told them in english i dont understand what they were saying and they asked where we came frm. They wanted us to show our passports to them. Of coz we wldnt wan to. My sis came up wif a terrific idea to 'scare' them off. Follow us to the bus and we'll show u. They left us alone. Phew. Scary. Wad a thing to happen over there ! So drama.
Still tryin to get used to the time here coz JP is one hr ahead of SG. it seems like i get sleepy at weird timing like 8plus pm. JP is always - sleep early and waking up early. As a result, my bio clock, screwed up. Its amazing how i can stay awake now to blog tis.
Will put up Japan photos when im free.
Will be presenting next week at pharmacy lunch time talk on antibiotics. I need some mental preparation what will be asked coz i chose the slides tht were done by one of my superiors. Wad luck man! Have to start my E-learning too but no motivation to start now. Crap.
Organic chem exam result shld be out anytime soon. *prays for gd news* oh pls.
