BahhAaaa.. I m bored! Just went to the hotspring! I'm in this resort in hualien now which is really nice but its kinda ulu. The bedroom balcony faces a nice river and swimming pool and stuff but its ulu la..can't shop lol=p and internet access is only until 11pm..but yea its slow n scenic la I've never been on a tour w a tour grp tt is quite relaxing still got time for u to sip some spring water coffee at some cafe in the nature park.

The ppl in my tour group thot I jus completed NS. Hiakhiak. And there's this taiwanese couple i met at the hotspring thot tt I am a taiwanese even after I answered that I am from sg. They thot i jus returned back from sg for studies. lol.

baa i can't wait to go back to taipei actually. lol=P

To my parents, going abraod is like going to war la. I dun understand why they have to bring so much stuff. They keep passing me things to put in my hand carry but i jus dumped them into the luggauge or leave them at home. lol =P

Yay will be away in naruwan from 27th CI752 0805 to 3rdjan CI751 1940.. leaving my flight no. here in case any1 wans to send me off or pick me up. Or sth happens. lol.

LeeHowSun is really efficient. Wasted 10bucks n my travelling time n expenses. lol. Well i didn't vomit enuff for the finals i guess.

And i shopped again today. So many post xmas sale. OMG. wads wrong w me.

Merry Christmas to all =) Yup i've been enjoying myself and I think I have more or less recovered n ready to gorge myself in taiwan. Hohoho. The high dose 500mg vitC/day, danzenz, liangtehs, watercress soup plus watermelon seemed to have done the trick.

Timbre. The chilli in the pizza almost killed some of us. And i didn't get to drink cox i took loratadine. And somehow i think loratadine made me more drowsy than chlorphen. lol i m weird. met up w xt b4 tt. glad everything is fine now =) thanks alot really.


Xmas gathering at amara. Posing w the presents tt we got. haha. Exp dinner.. but yup once a year i guess its fine.


Ate taiwan porridge at tpy on xmas eve. No turkey but it was rather shiiok prob haven ate for a long time! then watched twlight which was cool. Think any movie w any element of fantasy would b nice to me. Then chilled n countdown at a cafe near chinatown =) yup had fun =)

Oh i forgot to mention abt results. Bleahz sux. My cap actually dropped by tiny bit. I think i really alr mug my ass off this time. but prob evryone also la. I should have known not to expect so much alr la actually its still alritey but yup i still couldn't believe my pharmaco din get A despite getting average of A for my CAs. Maybe i shld review my paper but the thot of going all the way down to NUS to submit the forms is dreadful. Haiz. I really need to learn to be contented.

I think my eat drink play n make merry lifestyle is taking a toil on my health and complexion lol. shyts. My complexion is cui due to my late nites and my throat is starting to feel sore. And later still going timbre for pizza and tues got xmas dinner buffet argh.. i need an instant miracle drug w high potency, fast response time, instant recovery and zero side effects. I still wan to eat the 豪大大鸡排 and all the yummy stuff in 士林!

Results out tmr =X crossing my fingers man.

Finally got to watch cape no.7 yesterday. Hmm it didn't had such a great impression on me leh, prob if someone who could understand japanese and hokkien much better can appreciate the show more.. tho the translation was alrite-ly done. Too much chim chim tho beautifully n heart wrenching-melting-ly written jap verses and phrases. But I still had a gd laugh. Quite a corny movie. The music was apt and nice tho. Overall still a not bad movie. Theatre was rather packed even tho its going to be off the screen soon..

Haha picked up 10 bucks from the floor at heeren. lol! Luckily my fren saw whlist I was happily,unknowingly stepped on it as i walked past.. we scared paiseh so we walked one whole big round b4 going back to pick it up.. while walking tt round so many passerby jus walked passed n stepped on it as well lol=P

Went to eat melben seafood yest.. Its jus a kopitiam selling tzechar n seafood n famous for its crabbie.. so we had the crab beehoon and chilli crabbie. Yum. Tho i think the chilli crabie wasn't as gd as the tiong bahru one but it was still quite shiok =) N its cheaper than the tiongbahru one actually..but still it was a 30 bucks dinner -_- and subsequently mahjong i lost 20 bucks and the supper later set me back by another 10 bucks. I need a money spitter machine.

Back from shopping. I feel liberated and accomplished man. Its like all hell break loose. Shopped like from the shops open at 11 till they are closed at 10. And spent close to 200 bucks on 1 pair of jeans, 1 berms, 2 tops and a belt. Madness. And my fellow accomplice was raymond who spent only slightly lesser than me. I really din know i had so much shopping stamina. haz.

The itinerary: Raffles city>>Marina sq>>Bugis Jxn>>Bugis St>>Sim lim sq>>The Cathay>>Heeren. Phew.

And i can't help it but take a picture of the things i bought. prob the 1st time i bought so many things at 1 shot.

i finally mambo-ed! but the music was phuture was better(other than the sesame street song. wads w them man!)prob cox i m too young to appreciate all the songs. only knew some =X Went to dance at the podium for 1 min of cox when there weren't specific moves to be done =P Thanks feli for bringing us thus making u a chiongster*bleahs* n also sui who is now a new clubbing kaki lol. Bumped into yk n jh there too.







me n fel then cabbed to airport to send the cambodians CIPers off at 4+ am. Haha shag man but was fun =)







And went timbre today w raymond n gang. But decided not to drink tho. my liver needs a break. the pizza was gd. My 1st outing out with their gang almost froze and stunned me to death with their jokes. esp jas n raym. was too slow to catch la.
The service was timbre today was atrocious. waited for like 40 mins for the bill n realised that the waiter jus left jas's card n the bill on some other customer's table n totally forgotten abt it until i went to pick it up. like wtf? And he showed no sign of remorse until we demanded to see the manager. then the 3 of us jas raym n me jus fired our complains like a machine gun at him. lol. ok la free pizza nxt time.

Yay i had popeye's at T3 today. Luv the mash potato and bread-like-biscuit(all along i thot it is some bread until today) Nice catching up with my japan travel buddies. And i met fel again. such a coincidence. 2nd time this yr at T3. Then went to meet cp n xy for cakes at cartel at TM b4 heading back home.. I feel fat man. Plus last nite's fishball noodle supper at 3am. gosh.

I jus realized that there's season 5 for grey's anatomy. Woots. So I am abandoning last friends to watch grey 1st. lol.

The hols have been gd so far =) but at this rate tt i m spending prob will come a point where the cashier will say.. eh excuse me u seemed to have exceeded ur credit limit for ur card. or rather there's no more money in ur acct since its a debit card. dammit.


dbl-o with the usual ppl last nite. haha. yup i had fun =)

My tutee smsed to say that he has sth on and wans to cancel tuition, but then few hours later his mum called to ha-la with me and discovered that his son cancelled tuition today w/o her knowing and realises that she forgot to confiscate his modem today. tt explains why he has sth on. lol. And i m going over after lunch. Damn amusing la. He's like so poor thing.

A fren was telling me that a showger at IT fair earns avergae of $20-$50 per hour. WOA tts how gd money jus stand there n smile. thats like better than tuition. And its 7,8 hours kind. And he wonders if he can be a showboy lol. If they wan me i think i dun mind also. HAha. But IT show. wrong event.

JS paper was crap. I almost wanted to puke blood n pull hair while doing it. The english translation of those jap extracts was like alien englsh la, and the way they phrased their qns was damn weird also. All in the negative sense, "cannot be explained by... Least important contributing factor is" kaoz really put my linguistic and comprehension ability to the test. Forced myself to go thru the qns twice and ended my exam misery 30 mins b4 scheduled time lol.

Yes my friends are coming back.. time for more coffee, mahjong, buffets n supper.

你不是真正的快乐
词/曲:阿信 主唱：五月天

人群中哭着
你只想变成透明的颜色
你再也不会
梦或痛或心动了
你已经决定了
你已经决定了

你静静忍着
紧紧把昨天在拳心握着
而回忆越是甜
就是越伤人了
越是在手心留下
密密麻麻深深浅浅的刀割

你不是真正的快乐
你的笑只是
你穿的保护色
你决定不恨了
也决定不爱了
把你的灵魂
关在永远锁上的躯壳

这世界笑了
於是你合群的一起笑了
当生存是规则
不是你的选择
於是你含着眼泪
飘飘荡荡跌跌撞撞的走着

你不是真正的快乐
你的笑只是
你穿的保护色
你决定不恨了
也决定不爱了
把你的灵魂
关在永远锁上的躯壳

你不是真正的快乐
你的伤从不肯
完全的愈合
我站在你左侧
却像隔着银河
难道就真的抱着遗憾
一直到老了
然后才后悔着

你不是真正的快乐
你的笑只是
你穿的保护色
你决定不恨了
也决定不爱了
把你的灵魂
关在永远锁上的躯壳

你不是真正的快乐
你的伤从不肯
完全的愈合
我站在你左侧
却像隔着银河
难道就真的抱着遗憾
一直到老了

你值得真正的快乐
你应该脱下
你穿的保护色
为什麽失去了
还要被惩罚呢
能不能就让悲伤
全部结束在此刻
重新开始活着

一面听着歌，一面看着歌词，我的眼眶都湿了。

Oh yes its almost almost over. 1 more paper! N its mcq paper=P haha heck alr. Shyt man my DFD CA grades are cui. both below average. But o well. Dun care le hope can still pull thru a B+

I think i am addicted to the azuki red bean coffee weird combi at tcc. I ordered it again today but tried the cold version instead. I simply love azuki red beans. Mayb i shld get daryl to buy back 1 packet for me from japan n cook n put it in my own coffee rather than paying 9 bucks for a drink. And got to eat my fav marutama ramen at central!

And I am out of job for the hols. I think I shall go to my tutee's house everyday and earn some pocketmoney since his mum is like dying to pay me to go n babysit him. LOL.

My mum was saying that she din dare to talk to me too much for the past few days cox i haven speaking alot. She said i look as if that if I were to open my mouth some info will leak. dangs. damn funny la. it will still leak anyhow.

Argh pharmaco is mad. they shld combine pharmaco 1 and 2 and make it into 3 modules.

Argh i feel so cheated abt the stupid carcinogernic qns. All i rem abt tt slide was the simpsons picture with a 3-eyed gold fish on the pan! And i clearly rem the lecturer said no need to rem the examples jus know the categories and moreover all the types of cancers listed were covered by that blardy picture. kaoz!

Mon - AMK lib
Tue - Bugis Lib
Wed - Bugis Lib
Thu - Bishan Lib
Fri - Bishan Lib
Sat - shall it be home or lib again?

I am such a nerd. Visiting lib seems to be my newly accquired hobby. Studied from 10am to 8pm today. Madness. Almost can camp there liao. And for all my pharmer frens out there, demeclocycline inhibits the ACTION of ADH, it does not inihibit the PRODCUTION of ADH. Dammit. Now i owe feli a drink. LOL.

-Dreamanalyzer-

Do u have one? Isn't it a irony that even tho dreams are nonsensical most of the time but ppl are disturbed by it. Well at least I am. Crap. like 2 days in a row alr. Its a bad feeling to start the day with. U guys up there in my head better stoppit.

I need a superbrain or a doraemon. haha.

Guess today's pharmaco was like WOW. MIND BLOWING. LOL. Prob one of the most challenging paper in our entire pharm course ever to date. I thot normally if the content is very hard to study the paper woun be too hard but i was very very wrong man. The power of antibiotics. Was practially guessing thru the whole paper. And after the test at 9.30pm pia-ed till 6pm to finish the JS project. Almost died with minimal sleep last nite. lUckily i slept abit during the lecture. See stars see moon see saturn alr. But oh well we're done n over with it. TT kinda sums up our sucky official last day of the sem.

Interview yesterday was like -_- Once again i was quite unprepared. The pdt manager was like so how will u market this pdt, how differently would u do it, And i can't even rem to say the 4Ps and stuff. lol. But then upon hearing the jobscope I had half the mind of whether i wan to take up the job. involves going ard child care centres to promote pdts. I am now half hoping they will not take me. I jus can't wait to get to taiwan and soak into the hotspring n shop n eat.

How come I am the only one who doesn't feel like mugging n still wan to go out. Mayb i really need to reflect. Maybe i'll do a better job in my bed. its so nice to sleep with this kind of weather.

OK thank you chek wun. I said everyone liao eh. Nvm just for u i type ur name out..

I have been eating like nobody's business. ha wads new. Had steamboat followed by dessert on friday, and today i had kway chup for lunch and went sun with moon for dinner. Yes. I adore jap food. haha. i have been fortunate to eat it 3 wks in a row. lol.

- Reflections of a Skyline -

Watch this. Really beautiful. You woun regret it. Def worth spending less time on med chem. Haz

The annual birthday post.

Okay I realise I should still have a blog post today.

Thank you everyone for all the well wishes and esp the pharmers namely, cheryl, van, vivian, xinyong, jiawei, yanting, jielin, kaihui, sean, bingxun, felicia, raymond, baxter, chernyih, jasmine, shane, kelvin, choonpei n xuena =) Its really a nice watch =) Its really heartening to have so many of u all sharing my present. 让你们颇费了=) Terimah Kasih, 谢谢、ありがとうございました！ok i dunno thai i lose liao. Ok i know Merci!

Last of all, my present for myself. Tada! I'm amazed by my squeezing skills.

I hope i can decipher this tmr.

The unusual blue.

I woke up with my heart racing like mad. its prob like 80 or 90/min. Mad.
And sleep quality was atrocious.

Think many ppl din have a gd monday to begin the week with. So do I. So hey there u're not alone. Mon is gonna b over soon. Maybe its the 1st mon of the month. So its more powerful.

Random ramblings.

Had the annual scorpio bday dinner last nite. Hopefully it can stay as an annual event. thankful tt all of us made it. nice catching up =) how come we din take any pictures?

Had this superb set at ichibanboshi with sashimi, wagyu beef hotplate, chawamushi, miso soup and rice. yum. And had azuki coffee WITHOUT whipped cream at tcc. I m such a jap food/ jap associated food fanatic. I think u can put me one mth or prob 1 yr in japan n i will nv get sick of the food there.

I m not competing seriously. like wad for after all tt has happened. I am jus making myself happier. Elv said tt no one will take me seriously with my kind of hair, but somehow mayb i've been too serious for the past 22 yrs of my life.

Are u hit by the quarter-life crisis?
which means u will prob live until 80+, which i think is gd enough for me)

- do u avoid whipped cream in coffeebean/starbuck even if u used to adore.
- go to facebook n do alot of bo liao things online
- constantly feeling low n need to do things to keep urself high

Haha my practising pharmacist fren was suggesting such a diagnosis of my condition. O well maybe. Haha.

Anw K-box was fun.. wheres the video of the 2 mad women filmed by me?

My head is just swirling now.

I din know the virus in the flu vaccine were cultivated from eggs until i asked the gp how come he asked abt egg allergy b4 giving the jab haha.

It feels gd to be able to talk to someone abt things more freely and some1 who can understds my predicament. thanks man.

Anyway fri at sushitei was fun and gd too. Jap food always rocks. N the rochor tauhuaY!

Wah this wk is a one hell of a emo week. Jus look at everybody's blog. With pharmaco test on mon, and the back to back release of 3 test results within sth like 18 hrs? Think its like a rollercoaster ride for everyone. I m glad that my endorphins from mon n tues workout helped a little. As memebers of the SADDIST emo club, since everyone is emoing, we shld rejoice! ahaha. kidding. At least the long wkend is near. Can't wait for fri to come. But then so wad if there's a LWE? haz.

My whole arm is so damn blardy sour after mon's gym session n today's virgin attempt at climbing. Last time in sec sch n jc just climb up as high as possible touch the top den ok le, now must swing here swing there like monkey la so i guess the prior exp is not counted. I can't even write properly now. Haha rock climbing is certainly not easy. I think it trains u not to think so much n not hesitate when executing ur moves cox once u stop u drop. lol.but then somehow u must know where to cling on n step on. or maybe my arms are jus too nua. my arms n legs are so wobbly la. lol cui man. but anw nice experience.

While talking cock today, someone said that our unhappiness and anger, eg how we complain that why ppl treat us this way or hurt us, somwhow stems from our own selfish gains and personal wants/desires. So if we are less selfish, we will emo less and be happier.
Well I agree only to a certain extent, and was unable to express my thots at tt pt in time. Ok sometimes I will also be more angry at myself raher than upset about y other ppl do this to me. Like i will question myself: why will I think this way and how come I have this kind of reaction. Mayb this self-expectation is also a form of selfishness? Or is this part of an ego and self confidence issue?

Went timbre yesterday again! think no one would b as mad as us to go when there's like pharmaco on mon lol=P but prob the rebelious inner monster in us had enuff of mugging. so actually all the more we need to chill! Mcvin came to 客串 for awhille too. Its great to have such sporty frens to rave up fri nites. Great company! lol=P Went lau pat sat to eat w cp b4 that too. another satisfying food therapy session!

Chinese Lesson Time

According to 时代高级汉语词典，炸is pronounced as 炸（2ndsound）when it comes to food stuff like 油炸(zha2)食物 or 炸（zha2)薯条 and it is pronounced as 炸(4th sound) when it comes to all other things with the word, like bomb炸弹。

So i'm not wrong ok!

Updates for the past wk

Mon: New haircut/hairstyle. fresher n younger=) quite well received too haha.

Wed: Car wash in NUS. its like my third yr washing n i was really wondering when will it b my turn to send my car for ppl to wash instead. luckily it was only 1 day as i was jus helping cp. but it was fun.

Thurs: Went settlers to celeb kaihui's birthday. How come all of a sudden bday celeb became sabo session. gasps.

Fri: SE club meeting =)=) I can't imagine fridays w/o u all alr. We have new member n guest chernyih n raymond. doubt the latter wans to b a member. lol. Really enjoyed the company, bitching n heart baring sessions.



Sat: Its a-ME-day

Sun: Dim sum buffet at Miramar hotel w tmc guys. Value for money $20.10 only. haha. Food therapy rox.

稻香
曲:周杰伦词:周杰伦
对这个世界如果你有太多的抱怨
跌倒了就不敢继续往前走
为什么人要这么的脆弱堕落

请你打开电视看看
多少人为生命在努力勇敢的走下去
我们是不是该知足
珍惜一切就算没有拥有

还记得你说家是唯一的城堡
随着稻香河流继续奔跑
微微笑小时候的梦我知道

不要哭让萤火虫带着你逃跑
乡间的歌谣永远的依靠
回家吧回到最初的美好

不要这黱容易就想放弃
就像我说的
追不到的梦想换个梦不就得了
为自己的人生鲜艳上色
先把爱涂上喜欢的颜色

笑一个吧功成名就不是目的
让自己快乐快乐这才叫做意义
童年的纸飞机
现在终於飞回我手里

所谓的那快乐
赤脚在田里追蜻蜓追到累了
偷摘水果被蜜蜂给叮到怕了
谁在偷笑呢
我靠着稻草人吹着风唱着歌睡着了

哦哦午后吉它在虫鸣中更清脆
哦哦阳光洒在路上就不怕心碎
珍惜一切就算没有拥有

还记得你说家是唯一的城堡
随着稻香河流继续奔跑
微微笑小时候的梦我知道
不要哭让萤火虫带着你逃跑
乡间的歌谣永远的依靠
回家吧回到最初的美好

快乐是可以如此的简单，但有多少人能够真正的领悟。一层层的怨恨，抱怨，沮丧覆盖着那精疲力尽的身心，难道这就这是现今都市人盲目追求的“快乐”吗？

woots! i jus got back from timbre and tau huay supper =)=)

Thanks for the spontaneity of fel and moony! Fancy meeting up at 12 midnite. haha. Band at timbre was great =) and it was really hilarious when they read out our dedication "... ...from the saddist emo club"

Move Along - The All American Rejects

Go ahead as you waste your days with thinking
When you fall everyone stands
Another day and you've had your fill of sinking
With the life held in your
Hands are shaking cold
These hands are meant to hold

Speak to me, when all you got to keep is strong
Move along, move along like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Move along, move along just to make it through
Move along
Move along

So a day when you've lost yourself completely
Could be a night when your life ends
Such a heart that will lead you to deceiving
All the pain held in your
Hands are shaking cold
Your hands are mine to hold

Speak to me, when all you got to keep is strong
Move along, move along like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Move along, move along just to make it through
Move along
(Go on, go on, go on, go on)

When everything is wrong, we move along
(Go on, go on, go on, go on)
When everything is wrong, we move along
Along, along, along

When all you got to keep is strong
Move along, move along like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Move along, move along just to make it through
[x3]

(Move along)
(Go on, go on, go on, go on)
Right back what is wrong
We move along

Move it everyone! U've got to move it move it, MOve it! =P

Rantings after a crappy start of sch after the insignificant 1 wk hols.

The immunology chap in robins seems in-conquerable. So damn freaking thick. And they finished it in 1 hr slipshort n chopchop lect, plus 45 mins of tutorial conducted by an MO(he gave me the idea tt they found someone to stand in at last min) who seemed only abit older than us n basically jus did an ok-but-not-v enlightening summary. And they told us its going to be tested this thursday. LIke hello? immunology? in like 1 hr? Wonderful job of the patho dept. WOnderful NUS. Wonderful education I am receiving for 6000 bucks a year. not to forget the non-airconditioned sauna-ish lect this morning.

Collective Effervescence -
Suddenly realised that I'm not the only bubble in the hot soup. Its just scary. But come to think of it, we will all rise up to the top soon rite? Brace ourselves and be strong my dear friends =)

I'm really thankful for all the friends that I have. Really thank you all. You guys know who u are =)

默剧
作词:吴克群作曲:吴克群

我们怎么了失焦的相对
分隔的画面在你我之间
如果分开痛会少一些
谁该先发言又该谁先

倒转多快乐快转太伤悲
回想着原因都是黑画面
也许好人不擅说分别
喜剧也能悲喜也能悲

过去的爱情曾经多美
过去的爱情到底多美
如今像默剧无言静静相对
说穿了只剩回忆在多嘴

倒转的爱情曾经多美
快转的爱情能有多美
如今是谁拖着谁还不下片
难道谁还想赚谁的眼泪
省着点

我们怎么了谁都不发言
谁都没有错是输给时间
从前喜剧般古怪语言
如今少了些又少了些

过去的爱情曾经多美
过去的爱情到底多美
如今像默剧无言静静相对
说穿了只剩回忆在多嘴
倒转的爱情曾经多美
快转的爱情能有多美
如今是谁拖着谁还不下片
难道谁还想赚谁的眼泪

倒转的爱情曾经多美
快转的爱情能有多美
如今是谁拖着谁还不下片
难道谁还想赚谁的眼泪
省着点
省着点

终于还是下片了。也许是不够投入，也许不适合的角色，也许是未成熟的演技，一切的也许已不重要了, 只因为我已喊cut了

relax choya and durian chips(thx cp!) are great snacks after the 1st day of of a horrid sem. I think all i rem now is sterilize and shock n prob thyroid. Yea my brain feels sterilized after the hols, n is in a state of shock but my thyroid is normal. arh crap.

Watching fireworks at padang wasn't as nice as watching at marina sq. The smoke from the fireworks were blowing in our direction and it masked n blocked all the fireworks. kinda agree with dear that the aerial performance was prob the best thing that day.

We won Best presentation and OSA Most Creative award! OMG Really couldn't believe it. We prob were hysterical by the time they announced our 2nd award. Really felt damn proud of pharmacy! Really touched. We certainly have shown the school and everyone what we are capable of and can now hold our heads high and shout we love pharmacy! Our float was certainly huge and a head turner n wow-wah generator. Really an amazing feat. Thank you all pharmers for making this come true. Pharmacy Winners! pharmacy champions! pharmacy awesome!

Just can't believe that everything is over in a flash. Really no regrets in helping out with rag this year. Even tho the best overall chancellor shield went to bizad, its alr a remarkable achievement for us by winning 2 out of 6 fac/club awards.

School is starting after this wkend. holy crap.

Went to the NATAS travel fair yest with my parents.. There were so many Hokkaido banners everywhere la. And the 2 groups of ppl beside us were also booking japan tours. HAh but yea i am going to taiwan end of the year. No more hokkaido. haha sigh but ok la=)

Stayed over at rag on fri nite. Haha had a gd time fooling ard n crapping with the pharmers.

Cy:Watch me!!

Cp:Woah..

Some random rag photos..



Caught the last day of sg garden festival with dear. tho some of the flowers were apparently doing the jap bow liao but overall the designs and setup were stil quite pretty.

I'm back.. yea i shld get my ass back to rag but abit nua man. I miss japan!! Come to think of it, it wasn't exactly a impulsive decision. I've been wanting to visit daryl when i heard of his exchange but i din do anything abt it. It jus happens that i decide to grab this opportunity n tt it only took 1 afternoon to decide to go off the nxt morning=P Thanks cheow for dragging me to lucky plaza to check the flights availability n persistent persuasion n of course daryl for bringing us ard n planning the whole hokkaido thing. Its amazing how u can converse with the ppl there so well la.. prob would have been so lost without u. It was really a fantastic trip!!

In summary, I spent 2 nights in tokyo, then on to a 10 hr overnite bus ride up to amori, then 4 hr train ride to our 1st stop in hokkaido, hakodate(my fav place in the entire trip), spent 2 nites there, then took another 6 hr train up to Otaru, stayed for an afternn and took another 30 min train to finally reach Sapporo(capital of Hokkaido). Spent 2 nites in Sapporo and in btw we took a 3 hr bus to Furano(lavender farm) and finally flew back to tokyo on the last day on an amazingly fast 1.5 hr flight (consider the time spent on the buses n trains) But well the scenery thruout the rides were great, esp most parts of the railway were along the coast.

Really enjoyed the food, the ppl, the scenery and of cox the company. From the fast moving, vibrant city life, mad rush for squeezy trains and neon lights in tokyo to the romantic, slow-paced coastal sleepish coastal town of hakodate.

On our 1st day we met 2 Japanese who came to chit chat with us while eating ice cream. As one of the guy worked in sgpore b4, he could identify us with our le-la-lohs english. Most Japanese don not speak English anyway or somehow lack the confidence to speak. And later his other female fren treated us to drinks. Imgaine a stranger tresting 3 of us drinks after we barely knew each other n we jus chit chatted till late at nite. Haha how amazing rite.
