tokyo

went to tokyo for a short period of 5 days and i love the place! The weather was so cold, I wore 4 layers almost everyday and still felt cold! Especially in the night... there was some nights it got so cold my fingers literally froze and turned red and it didn't help that I wore super lousy gloves that my mum lent to me (she kept saying they were made of suede so I thought wa confirm good... in the night I ended up with icey fingers :( )

Anw tokyo is so clean, I love their toilets- with a simple press of a button, you can wash your ass, dry your ass and you know in winter the toilet bowls get damn cold but in tokyo the toilet bowls are heated! I especially like their flushing sound (so people can't hear when your shit drops into the toilet bowl!) I super need tt function to be implemented in Singapore prease!!!

That aside, food was great OISHI OISHI! everything is so yummy~ and Japan has really cute packaging for everything, I took so many pictures of their cakes and stuff... when it comes to packaging the Japanese win hands down man! But the downside of Tokyo is the cost of living... Everything was super duper expensive... the cheapest bowl of noodles is slightly over $10?

And clothes there are ridiculously priced! Like one sequinned cardi would be 100-200 sing? That's like their normal pricing... And I realised something damn irritating while I was there! I kept getting shoved around! The people there just push you when you block their way! And the older generation are really rude? Like the old man will just push you and stuff... Got damn pissed by them shoving me around :( Anw everyone dresses so stylishly there... If I ever go there again for a longer period of time, I will make sure I bring the prettiest clothes or else damn lao kui, all the girls dress damn nicely and most of them bother to wear makeup and style their hair? Who has that kind of time!

Ok, nuff of the trip! If you're planning to go Tokyo, pls save up loadsa $$$ cos the prices will make your jaw drop!

That aside, I ended 2011 on a sad note? The first few days of 2012 weren't exactly cheery. But through all this, I realised the importance of friends. I would never have made it through if you guys weren't there listening and telling me everything is okay :) Really felt happy to have you guys by my side. After today, I am a stronger person and life is never smooth sailing is it? The most important thing is to keep a positive outlook and life's too short to be sad! SMILE EVERYBODY!!! LOVE YOUR LIFE :)

love,
