it's 7pm now in japan. using my host's computer to blog while she's bathing.
*their keyboard is different from ours so it takes me a while to type this thing.

wednesday - thursday (29/11 - 30/11)
the flight from singapore to tokyo, narita was horrible. it's a midnight flight and i'm only able to sleep for 45mins. the chair is so uncomfortable that's why. the breakfast they serve on the plane was the worst meal i've ever eaten. i end up only eating the bread and drinking the orange juice. the rest they clear away. on the way there, there was turbulence, which makes the planes pressure so weird. it was horrible. i was once practically lifted off my seat a little. reached there at 7am[japan time], 6am[singapore time].

a lot of things happened. went to take a coach from tokyo,narita to tokyo,haneda. experienced the winter cold for the first time. at first it felt like very cold air-con, but after walking in it for 5mins, it gets cold plus we are only wearing our sch-u plus blazer. luckily the bus is warm. they close all the windows. the ride was long long long. reached there still need to wait wait wait before we can check-in.

had lunch at haneda airport. shared sushi with amanda, cause there's alot plus also quite expensive but after we split it was ok. spent our 1hr of free time there sleeping on the chair. the flight there was horrible too. board like hell plus i have to sit next to an old lady. quite ok lah, but the flight was longer cause there was turbulence again, so they have to take a longer route to escape it. luckily the landing was fast. the previous 2 landings took ages. it was already 4pm[japan time] when we landed.

board the bus to the hotel. the bunking was messed up but got switched back. bunked with julia, my beloved junior. the welcome dinner was nice. went back to our room. explored abit. the toilet bowl is way cooler than i expected it to be. opened the window. was amazed by what i saw outside of it. beautiful place there. karmen and yvonne came and they decided that we climb out of the window. did it after the performance rehearsal. took pictures there. it was cold outside. run between yvonne and karmen's room to ours. slept at 12mn[japan time].

friday (1/12)
woke up freezing like hell. it was cold even though we on the heater to the maximum. thought it was air-con but end up not. it was cause of the window. got woken up by the morning call at 7am[japan time] 6am[singapore time]. it's freaking early. picked up the call when it rang the 2nd time. heard it said 'ohaiyou gozaimasu' (good morning), than i just put down the phone. changed and went down for breakfast.

the breakfast was nice. it looks more like lunch to me. checked out after that and off we go to do some sight-seeing.

*continued

it's sunday now. 9pm here in japan. last time i will update for now. tomorrow staying at hotel already. it was fun today. take care people.

-----------------------------

first stop, edo shrine. the ride was long and boring. feel tired as always. saw some beautiful scenery. the devil's washboard - a very nice big, blue ocean with rocks. the ride was long. always very long. that's why anyone who live there must have a car. reach that place. scenery is nice but cold. we are only wearing sch-u plus blazer lah. i wore jacket too but no help. took lots of photos. need julia to send them to me before i can upload them. bought ice-cream on the way out even though it's like so cold there. almost everyone bought. i bought the green tea flavour. tasted very green tea. walked the long way out but it's still ok. went off to the 2nd place. after this.
