First Trip To Japan

Gong Xi!! Gong Xi!!! Yay!! Happy New (Niu) Year!!

Start of a brand new year! the lunar new year that is! hope this is a better one for all.

if not economically, at least a more peaceful one for the whole world ^^

Its funny this year we could use some puns like Niu Year and Ox-picious year etc...haha....looks like tat the cow/ox is indeed a simple and grounded animal.

Realised that this Japan photo taking contest is ending 31 Jan 09. while clearing room, came across an old photo taken from my very first trip to Japan! thot it would be perfect for that photo contest! its a beautiful and serene pic of Mt. Fuji. heh heh...quite amazed that i actually caught a photo like that.

after scanning and touch up a little....didnt feel like submitting over. just felt aiyo....the rules said photo will be their property!! no good. how can i give away something i took on this wonderous trip? still recalled, we couldnt go up to Mt Fuji due to heavy traffic!!! it was too dark. thus the next day or something, we watched it from afar. Tour guide console us, see from afar better. actually true leh! haha!!

its such a perfect looking mountain.....and this pic shows different tones in the sky and light. no better way to remember Japan......

Korean Hotel

The whole world is in a financial mess! but hey there are some benefits too.....the British Pound!! now 2.08!!! wah lau!!! hey everything in UK now is just times 2!!! now how often does that happen? Seriously this is a cheap time to visit London. the airfares are also cheap like $1198nett on BA or SQ...but you cant help but to also doubt yr decision to spend a few $K for a Europe trip at this time..... ah.......

Was also checking on Korea.....lots of Japanese have been flocking to Korea due to the devaluation of the Won.....so i went to check......i chance upon this hotel --- Best Western...they have a Ladies Floor!! and get this :

OXYGEN supply!! Wah HAHA!!! i was laughing at the thot that seems we gals are so weak tat we need special oxygen care!! also shows how beauty crazy these east asian countries can be!!! aiyo.... hmmmmm...... so there are oxygen tubes beside each bed?

but the room is sweet and cosy. perhaps hotels around the world can think about this and cater to the increasing independent female travellers!

Parapara - cheesy but fun leh..

yes its cheesy with the euro disco track and costumes but ah...if only i could dance with the disney characters....so cool!

Astro Comedy

Haha......i was clearing some old emails when i came across some writings about lousy Aquarius guys...how they are such losers. and there was actually a website dedicated to Hating Aquarius people!! haha!!!!

so i went to search for it......tried google.....i put in I Hate Aquarius....wah ...true enough! some hate sites!! hee hee....they cant commit lah, no dedicated, not expressive etc etc....

then i tried I Hate Pisces...my own starsign lah.....wah.....very funny!! seems a lot of Pisces guys dump lots of women!! and these women are sobbing why they dump me, why they dont like me....hee....pisces men quite cassanova huh? but true leh....their dreamy romantic nature. as for pisces gals, seems they have a charm to make pple fall in love with them....wow..... :P


then i tried Virgo......HAHA....true again!!! many people commented they are the most boring sign together with capricon and tarus!! hahahaha!!! then one virgo girl admitted....."yes...i am virgo and i do admit i am boring ...BUT.....cuz we are organised, worrier...." HAHA...why so true huh? most virgos are like that! neat freak.......cannot stray from plan one...a bit also cannot.

then i tried leo.....wah not much post...a few lah. as usual, i think leos dun really express much or maybe not so net ba qua type. one or 2 complained about why some pple dislike them but they defend themselves by saying "no dont believe these people, we are the BEST! the best sign of all. we are the king!" haha.........self centred? "Obama and CLinton are leos...we are the best" hahaha....one leo girl also said she is seem as rebellious etc etc...but she dun care...haha....sounds familiar....?

oh well, sometimes say dun believe also cannot ...ho ho ho
