I shall name you Bikey and you shall be mine

I shall name you Bikey and Bikey you shall be mine. *In love*

Bikey cost me 10800 yen (RM350), once again, cheapest in the shop. Bikey size 26, grey in colour. Do not know how to ride a bike?no fret, it comes with a super thick user guide...
It's no easy task to own a bicycle here in Japan. You have to register your bicycle to the police, which cost 500yen one time payment, and you get like car plate thingy sticker on your bike. and NO! Mr. See, they are not gonna summon you for speeding. But you might get the chance of police asking you to 'Turn off engine', 'Car license', 'Alien card'. Just to check bicycle thief.

There's also registeration for dorminatry parking, train station parking....... In Malaysia, WHO THE HELL CARES!

Bikey birthcert and parking ticket. Be warned that you have to keep these as precious as your Alien card.




I believe you havent see metal girrafe before, notice the background? Those are what I call metal girrafe. Biggers one, i call papa mama girrafe, smaller ones are baby girrafes... Happy Family!

Was loitering around Odaiba. Did i also tell you that i saw Fujisan from Odaiba? See red circle. Girrafe was pissed off an annoying Gaijin (Yeap, me!) keeps taking picture of him.

Anime Characters Fiesta

Came back from lunch and surprise to find anime characters invades underneath my block.

I was so excited to wanted to take pictures, but no photographing was allowed. I doubted, I went blank! It was such a Fiesta, such a rare occasions to see more than 300 400 cosplay gather together... No Photographing?!!! What the ....!!!

So, I on my camera, pretended that I was shooting the row of flags, or the n-shape building behind, and whoosp, i went dissapeared behind the tree.

Then i went to the other side of the block, walk pass quickly, snap! another shot. I SURVIVED!

I am sorry, this is the only 2 photos I could get. Try to imagine a place infested with all the anime characters, who knows what weapon or power that they might have. Who knows too they might make a circle, hold hands together, chant some curse and combine strength to turn me into a frog or mouse.... If only I could be transparent!! Sigh.

Shinjuku, Kamakura

Being a Tokodai Student is really not an easy deal especially for the first 2 months.

While picnic-ing on the grass, the birds were chirping, the flowers are blooming, the refreshing breeze... We argued. So fierce that we attracts onlooker attention. They are so afraid we might kill each other. Ya know. Scary stuff.

Ernest INSISTED that we should go to his house to play his newly bought Mario Kart Wheel for Wii.

I YELLED back, I will not waste more time hiding indoor on a super fine, not rainy weather.

In the end. I 'sort' of won. :D

Victory Products:
Shinjuku - Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building (45 Floors)
Spot Tokyo Tower.



Takashimaya


Krispy Kream Doughnuts - Look at the queue


KabukiCho (歌舞伎町) - Red Light District of Tokyo, Place where the Yakuza and all the pimps hang out.

Went to Kamakura (鎌倉) the next day. One hour train ride from Odaiba.

Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine (鶴岡八幡宮)

Wedding Ceremony on-going. One morning in this shrine, we witness at least 3 marriages. I do not understand the Japs. They like getting married, but when you see young couples pushing baby stroller, try peeping into the strollers, you will see furry animal nicely dressed instead. Yeap, dogs triumphs lil babies here in Japan.

In addition, please prepare at least 10000 yen (RM324) as 'Ang Pau' if you wanna attend a wedding dinner here. I heard 10000yen, you will still get those cheapskate stares from others. *sweat*

The miracle of this stone is, instead of being smaller resulted from wind erosion, this one grew bigger. Represent good luck, and longevity.
"You talking to me?!"

Nothing beats the happiness of seeing a flying pig


Compare to the train in Tokyo, which speeds like hell. This train is totally the contrast, slow, old....ZzzzZzz. 6 stations felt like 120 stations.
Kotokuin Temple (The Great Buddha) (高徳院)

Buddha miniature. I was doubting from which part I should start biting, the head, or the butt? In the end, to show respect, I shallow the whole thing at once.


Also tried the Omikuji (御神籤), where you pray pray and a stick drop, the stick represent your destiny. If you get bad luck, instead of waste it, you tie the paper on the rack above, hoping bad time will be over. I got to bring the paper home, although written inside that my bf is gonna run away.

Today, I ffk Yap and Kenny to go to Yokohama China town (横浜.中華街). I am sorry, I have to treat my swollen legs. I am not trying to fret here, but seriously too much walking. -_-" Next time k?

Have some brain



WHEN WILL THESE PEOPLE REALISE THAT THE ONLY WAY TO DETER RAPE CASE IS TO CASTRATE THE RAPIST INSTEAD OF BLAMING ON THE GIRLS?!!?!?!?!???

FORCE EVERYONE TO WEAR HUNDRED LAYERS OF CLOTHES IN TROPICAL COUNTRY IS GOOD IDEA! ENFORCE GIRLS TO BE COVERED FROM HEAD TO TOES IN A 35++ DEGREE CELCIUS COUNTRY IS ALSO A MARVELOUS IDEA!

I HAVE AN IDEA!!!!! WHY NOT START EDUCATING YOUR MEN THAT RAPE IS ACTUALLY NOT LEGAL! *SHOCKED!!!*

PISSED OFF! DAMMIT!

Tea Ceremony, Welcome PartiesSs..

Last Saturday, was TIEC Spring Welcome Party. Among the stores are Malaysian food prepared by Monbusho government servent scholars with their whole families. Teh Tarik and Nasik Lemak.. Nothing compares to the authentic Mamak Teh Tarik.. Booooo....!!

They have calligraphy (書道), and tea ceremoney (茶道). Tea cereMONEY ceremony was interesting. It was so interesting I thought I saw Ghost broad day light!



Steps in Tea Ceremony:
1) Eat 1, eat sweet and then only drink bitter tea will be in good kimochi. *_*
2) Use 2 to stir 3 for 30 times.
3) By using right hand, hold the bowl onto your left hand.
4) Swirl the bowl 3 times. (Turn.. turn... turn..)
5) DO IT! DRINK THE TEA!



Of course, my main purpose was to take pictures and eat free sweets. The master of the tea ceremony is still the ghost-liking Zhen Zi.

You can click the video below to see how she prepare tea... which took ages. I am impress she could remember all the detailed steps.





The guru, The Lenglui and the Baby Phat

Last week too, our school welcomed us.

I hate this picture. I look like a dwarf!!
Now you get what i mean?

Nothing much, it was school day the next day. Party ends 8pm.

Long ago too, 5th floor welcome their residents. I stayed in 10th floor, so it was really none of my business. It was the food!

Aaron from Malaysia, and ..... forgot her name.

Sang Rasa Sayang to the crowd, later regret it. Becoz Indonesian claims Rasa Sayang is their songs and we used for Visit M'sia theme.. well.. I should had just sing Uncle Johnny who did cocaine! Yay..!

Odaiba お台場

'Kim-San, Where do you stay?'

'Odaiba, Tokyo International Exchange Center'
[EYES WIDE JUTTED]

'Must be costing you a fortune? 300k yen?'

'Not Exactly, 45k yen.'

By this time, his saliva already drool down the floor.

I nv understand at first, 45k yen is cheap? Now I do. Odaiba is a land reclamation initially built for defences purposes, later into seaports, and now a perfect spot for young couples for dating, shopping, and lepak.

Water Transportation

Block B my block front view and Side View

Spot my room

Everyday to and fro campus, from my corridor the view is Fuji Television (Represent Takuya Kimura), Rainbow Bridge, Replica of Satue of Liberty, Museum of Maritime Science, vaguely the Tokyo Tower, Palette Town Ferris Wheel. From my balcony, it's Miraikan musuem, Telekom Center Building. 3 shopping malls include Decks, Aquacity and Venus Fort.

(1) My personal Mailbox (2) Fuji Television (See the ball like thingy? That's observation deck)

(3) Musuem of Maritime Science (4) Ferris Wheel

(5) Night views from Corridor( spots Tokyo Tower on the Right pic)


(6) Venus Fort Shopping Center

Other Side of the island is Tokyo Big Sight, Tokyo International Exhibition Center

Routine life is to try to make it to the 816am train, or not, 822am, most late is 827am. By all means, these train arrive on time and door close right on the dot of the departure time. Leaving the pathetic me behind gasping for air, eyes wet, weeping while looking at the train whoops away. Being late is such a big deal here, problem is, I am still having problem waking up in the morning!



What is Men in black doing in the Tokyo Subway? Can he transports me every morning instead of taking the train? I am missing driving to a destination, missing taking for granted to park directly infront of shop, miss grumbling furiously while searching for a car park. So sick of walking! My legs are like lobak dy. Cook soup sure tasty. Yum Yum! X-D
