Characters Introduction

Firstly, it's our D.E.A.R.E.S.T planner cum organizer.


You could always see him checking routes and timetable on handphones, asking direction, carrying a stack of documents, making sure we catch all the train and busses on time.


He is also The Man who did all the booking on all the accomodation, bus tickets, ferry tickets.


Maybe because he has to do all the research and planning, leading the two slackers behind, he is always tired. His new nickname is Sleeping Beauty. He could fell asleep even with the sit-up position above.


His new found ambition is to photoshop his wife's into the pictures above.
Next is the pissed off guy from Turkey.


He is either pissed off or fed up all the time.


Even the pissed off chicken is not as pissed off as him.


Sometimes when he is not pissed off, he is with his flute. His new found tune.


He was with his flute E.V.E.R.Y.Where!! By the shore, in the McD. We purposely walked into CD shop just to refresh some of the common songs we knew.


When Ahmet is playing his flute, Kenny watched deeply.

Although it seems to be a trip of 3 fella. In fact, most of the time, I am left alone.


I wasnt with them when they crossed the lover bridge.

I was left behind in most of the journey.

I dunno what are they looking at.

The rain!!! I have to hold my own umbrella, and they share one. Super romantic!


They take pictures for each other, without inviting me. :(


I was always left behind.


and more behind.........


I am like the extra tripod they carrying around. Taking pictures for them.





And they made all the decision without consulting me. Well, no point I interfere too, I know nuts. :)

This shot could be listed in top 10 romantic shots.

They were having drinking session with me as their photographer and video recorder.



Lastly, it's the 3rd party of one fruitful, romantic relationship.



Me with my peach.. self-indulged happily! in the street of Hakodate.


P/S: I dedicate this post to my wonderful companions during this trip - Kenny and Ahmet, who was in fact kind enough to carry my heavy stuff, protect me from the rain & cold, stop me from crossing the road and hit by a truck, have enough supply of Panadol, have enough patience for my constant nuisance. They are indeed gay (fun-to-be-with) friends, definitely not gays! Gurls can still contact me for their numbers. ::wink::

Me Back

I have so many photos and so many awesome experience to tell. I also have so many favourite photos in Ahmet and Kenny's camera that are still with them.

I dunno where to start.

I love the dreamy experience in Nikko.


I love the 5000 yen steak lunch from Kenny's host mum, and the afternoon tea in a prestigious hotel.


I love the river by the youth hostel.


I love the puffy sunflower in Matsushima.


I love the night views from Sendai and Hakodate.


I love the capsule hotel in Aomori.


I love the chewing of the super juicy peach in Hakodate market.


I love the qiant squids and crabs crawling around in the market too.


I love all of the album covers that we shot.






I love all the friendly, chatty and helpful old ladies we met along the way, pointing the right direction for us.


I love everything about Hakodate! I love this the most. No doubt.


I love the cycling trip in Furano, with sunflowers and lavenders.



I love the wine tasting in Furano, beer tasting in Hakodate and Sapporo, cheese tasting, chocolate tasting, and the little Bailey session.




I love the ocean! The windy town, the adventurous rock climbing. I love my new Afro hair.


I love the bells in Nebuta festival. Remind me of nostalgic ice-cream bell.

I love the ferry trip.


I even love the countless night on trains and buses.





I found my religion, Ahmet found his god, his new tune and his meaning of life, Kenny found the meaning of bento.


One Most Unforgettable week I had.
