Japan! (Day 2) -DisneyLand

The first thing we saw when we enter.. balloons! so cute! wanted to get one..but thinking of tagging it along when we're taking rides.... i didn't get it in the end.. there were lots more balloons.. mickey..donald.. pluto.. daisy...etc....
*Someone can't help staring at Japanese Girls! *hmph*
This is in the middle of DisneyLand.. after this statue, the road is divided into many many paths, leading to the many many lands in DisneyLand! Well, this is the meeting place (in case we lose each other)!
We took this on our way to the first land...Adventure Land! In DisneyLand, you can see these vehicles everywhere..just that we didn't have time to stop at every one to take pictures..

Our first ride at AdventureLand..is Pirates of the Caribbean.. basically,we just sat on a boat..and travel into a cave for 10 mins.. nothing much here.. just show you the treasures we found at the end... haha~
We saw a band on our way to the next ride.. there are many different kinds of parades throughout DisneyLand.. It's like a fantasy man..everyone's dressed up so well.. it's very cooling..so, i guess they're really comfortable wearing these costumes.. unlike Singapore..*sigh*
Next ride..Jungle Cruise... Here are some pictures we took at the jungle cruise..please look at the pictures carefully and after that, i'm gonna tell you something rather fascinating...hee~

The cruise guide is speaking is Japanese, so we dun understand a single thing he's talking! blah blah blah blah blah...





ok..the fascinating part is that.... all the animals are fake! it looked so real to me loh..and i almost believed they were all real!

For a moment we thought we found Stitch...but nah... it's just a theatre showing Lilo & Stitch.. didn't go in.. we need to explore the whole DisneyLand which is so damn big..

Bought myself a pair of Minnie ears on the way to WesternLand.. Minnie ears cost a freaking 980 yen ($14)..but everyone'e wearing something in the park, so i just went along with the crowd.. wanted to get a hairband..but i thought it was too childish..ha~ i dun think i'll wear this in Singapore, or anywhere.. til i go back to DisneyLand again.. *keke*

Taking a break.. walked through WesterLand and Critter Island.. nothing much... so we decided to go to Fantasy Land.. *nice right? my minnie ears!*
We just had a Turkey Drumstick for about $5... quite reasonable...considering we're at a tourist spot.. Here are some pictures of the Parade that just went past..


Ya...and we thought we found Stitch again..........argh.............
We're queueing up for a roller coaster ride in Fantasy Land..while in the queue, took some photos.. haha...the door is so small! DisneyLand is so fascinating.. even while queueing, there's stuff for you to do.. so you won't be bored..hee~
That's me peering into the tiny window...

We're at "It's A Small World".. it's a world of laughter, world of tears...It's a world of hope and a world of fears... there's so much, that we share, and it's time we're aware, it's a small world after all!
And my pink Adidas cap is missing! argh..flew away while i was on the roller coaster.. hmph.. luckily i still have my minnie ears with me...*phew* ya i know...it's silly of NOT to remove my cap during the ride... *sheesh* Some pictures taken in the "Small World"...





everything's so small right? that's why it's a "small world"..

We went for Pinochio's Daring Journey...then to Peter Pan's Flight....we're still in Fantasy Land!
Can you see Tinkle Bell flying? haha..she's so tiny....... she's flying around...

City View! We're Flying!~
And that's Captain hook..haha~
Yet another parade passing by....
Next, we head to Tomorrow Land..and we sae Buzz Lightyears! it a game...whereby you have a laser gun...and you have to shoot at all the "+" signs or shoot batteries...to gain points..i have 700000 over points! while dar only have 200000 over points..haha...

We went to Toon Town after that...it's dark already, so we didn't really take photos.. we walked around the whole DisneyLand...and we haven't actually visited all the rides.. We took quite a number of exciting rides, just that we can shoot photos while we're on it...right? haha..and also, we watch some shows & performances, but they don't allow photography...so..too bad..

Finally we've reached the highlights of the day..Dreamlights! Darling says it's like Chingay.. and after "Chinggay", there'll be firewoks! The firewoks are much much better than our National Day Parades' one..and they have it DAILY! to think we only have it once a year...Gee~


We took 80 over photos of the Dreamlights..and a short video of the firewoks...but i've decided not to post it online..be there to see it yourself... right...Lorraine? haha...
And finally..that's Stitch...we found him when we were about to leave DisneyLand *duh* He's with the 7 dwarfs... only Stitch is coloured... I guess Stitch is a new character that's about to be launched in DisneyLand.. maybe next year?... oh well..

That's all for now... Look for for Part 3 at DisneySea!

Japan! (Day 1)

It seems like i only blog all the important events.. haha..once a month.. well, this month..i went to JAPAN! woah!~ damn nice loh.. well, shall post up some pictures... pictures speak louder than text! haha~ We were waiting for a cab... so long.. it's like only 4am, but we have to check in at 5am..flight is at 7am.. played mahjong whole night.. til 3am..then wash up...and off to the airport! our cab fare was like $20 over bucks! including the midnight charges of course! See my pink luggage?! well, wondering why we're dressed rather formally? haha.. coz we're going on the business class! dress code loh..
United Airlines! practically the whole business class are ang mohs! haha.. and everyone has a labtop! I sat beside this angmoh, who lives in california..going for japan for business trip.. i actually offered him sour plum..haha.. i told him it was for my motion sickness(in case), and he claims that he likes sour stuff..so.... during the long flight of 7 hours, dar and i were like..sleeping, eating, watching movies...all the other businessmen were using labtop, reading books, newspapers..haha.. so paiseh.. they seemed to be making full use of their time, and we're like...hmm... anyway, i didn't take any pictures at Changi Airport..too sleepy...besides, what's there to take anyway!
Ta da! Reached Narita Airport! Now waiting for a shuttle bus to pick us up, and fetch us to Narita Excel Hotel Tokyu. It's about 20 mins away from Narita Airport..very convenient hotel.. Japan is 1 hour ahead of Singapore.. Was on the phone, few missed calls when i switched off my hp (on the plane). I love the weather! when i stepped out of the airport, i was like...woah! cooling.. it was 19 degrees.. so cool! and..not humid..so fresh! nah..how to compare it with singapore's air? tsk tsk.. now i know why japanese girls have such flawless complexion!
This was what i saw at the hotel's entrance.. Umbrella stand with lock! there's a key to every lock..so you just have to lock your umbrella there, remove the keys.. and no one will steal your umbrella..it's a free service! oh man.. perfect! if this were to be done in singapore, all the keys and locks will be stolen, otherwise..vandalised... wat a babaric country.. sigh..
Waiting to check in.. dunno why this statue is in the middle of the lobby..haha.. a lady rowing boat...hmm....we stayed on 3rd floor..our room has a washlet! haha... a washlet is a toilet that has the "wash butt" function! Anyway, nothing much on the first day..reached the hotel at 5pm.. took a 150 bus, which cost us 150 yen($2) to AEON shopping centre..bought some food..shop around, then went back to hotel.. to sleep..coz tmr is a long day....
SHOCKED! I actually see sunlight at 3am! It'll be pitch black in Singapore, but in Japan, 3am and the sun's up! of course, sun sets earlier too..like 6pm..it's dark already.. anyway, we woke up at 6am..and we thot we overslept, coz the sun's shining so brightly! we woke 6am coz we need to leave the hotel at 7am, in order to reach the airport at 730am, in order to catch the 8:10 bus to DisneyLand! well..in Japan, PUNCTUALITY is NO.1 ! if the transport comes at 8:10, means 8:10...if you come at 8:11, too bad.. and i mean the trains, the buses...every means of transport! By the way, Japanese smoke at a certain area! See?! they stand there and smoke.. in singapore? smokers are everywhere.. you dun see a smoker standing beside a dustbin to smoke right? Japanese do!
We're waiting for Bus 14.. Each bus has a bus stop, and an attendant! this bus ride costs us 2400 Yen ($36)! we have to buy the ticket before hand.. it's a 1 hour ride.. means, we'll reach DisneyLand is 910am!

Took photo on the bus.. was looking out the window most of the time.. we actualy saw a lady wearing kimono,wanted to take a picture of her, but the bus is moving too fast.. and the houses in Japan look exactly like my Sylvanian doll house! well, 'Sylvanian Families' is a Japanese product, of course they'll look similar!...and we finally fell asleep.. long journey..HEY! we woke up very very early k! by the way, it's cold! but sunny...

We reached at 9:10 exactly! (see what i mean by PUNCTUALITY!) ..It opens at 10:00, and there's a big crowd already...it's a weekday my goodness! it's not even their school holiday.. so crowded! Darling went to queue for tickets, and I queued at the entrance.. we bought a 2-day pass, which costs at 9800 yen ($130) EACH! We're visiting DisneyLand today, and DisneySea tmr..we learned that only Tokyo has DisneySea! Can't be found in any other parts of the world!
This is the Main Entrance..There's a "Find Stitch" event going on today.. Stitch is hidden somewhere in DisneyLand, and we're supposed to find it..great.. DisneyLand is so damn big, can't even finish exploring in one day..how to find a tiny Stitch? anyway, we just went along...if we're able to find it, good...if not, fine! :)

We're about to embark on the most MAGICAL journey for the day! DisneyLand, here i come!

Sylvanian Doll House!

WeEEeeEeeEEEeeEEEee!~ Finally i get my long awaited doll house! Been wanting to get it since I was a little girl...i mean, i did have a doll house, but wasn't that nice..(like i have alot of money when I'm 7 years old)! hehe.. I've been wanting to get it like many 2 months ago, but Dar kept nagging at me..saying it's a waste of money.. i'm not a little girl anymore...etc...blah blah blah...

But i really can't take it anymore! i went to Taka to get my house last week! Yipee! wanted to get the deluxe house... but, dun think there's any space to put it.. so , i got myself the 2nd biggest house.. the only house with lights!~Cost me $99.. but it's worth it... i wanted to put in the furnitures slowly...like buying a little by little each week, so i bought only the bedroom set for my teddy girl. Oh, they have lotsa character to chose from! rabbits...hamster.. dog...etc... i chose bear! looks more normal..i only bought one though, instead of the whole family.. coz i want my girl bear to live in the big house all by herself! hee~ Dar wanted to get a character to live with me girl... but i only bought a single bed...too bad..anyway, the character he wanted is a mole!!! can you imagine a bear living with a mole?! no way!

Ya, to think i wanna put in the furniture in slowly... i think bear need a toilet badly...then...kitchen...and living room...argh.... i bought all at one go! keke... can't control anymore! went Bugis Seiyu, they were having a 20% sale storewide...yeah! i spent about $240 in total for this house..and more to come!

Here's my girl at the top of the staircase! She just had a bath, and I changed a new set of clothes for her!

That's girl at her bedroom's balcony! I added on the hat for her..the weather's hot! Look so sweet ya? *smilez*

A fuller view of my house! Girl is still standing at the balcony. This house has 2 bedrooms, 1 toilet, a living room and kitchen...also an open space... There are 2 lights in the house.. the bedroom and living room.. the other rooms does not have lights.. such a pity.. and the lights run on batteries!
A fuller view of my house. Big right? :)

Let's take a closer look at the rooms! this is her bedroom..which has a balcony.. well, i haven't bought any stuff to put at the balcony yet...was thinking of buying some plants, or maybe a swing..well, shall see how it goes! Her bed and dressing table! The switch is just beside the bed, so when she wants to sleep, she can turn it off..easily..
This is her study room. There's a study table, a full length mirror, and a clothes hanger.. I'm thinking of buying a cupboard to put in her clothes, she has 4 sets of clothes now, including a bath robe! I hang 2 dresses on the clothes hanger, and the rest, i put it in the clothes basket.

Attached to the right side of the study room, is the bath room! I bought her a big porcelain bath tub. It comes with a shower head too!
The stairs is leading from the bathroom to the ground floor, right in front for the kitchen where i put the dining table. It can sit 4 pple. There is a cake on the table, as they just had a house warming party!
This is the living room! i love this room as i spent alot on it! There is a fireplace and it'll light up too! however, the weather is so warm these days...probably gotta wait til december, then i'll on it! And....did you see that? a white upright piano! You can actually depress the keys and pedals! also..the cover of the piano can be opened and closed! I bought a Telephone too..beside the piano..can you see it? and of course..wat's a living room without the television! the television lights up too, and it comes with 4 slides..you can actually insert the slides into the tv when it lights up! keke.. so cool ya? wanted to buy a full sofa set.. but, there's only girl living in the house..next time when she gets married, and have kids..then i'll get an extra sofa!
The procelain bathtub takes up so much space, i gotta put the toilet beside the kitchen..well, there's divider, so not too bad...some privacy... come to think of it, usually toilets are in the kitchen ya? isn't it the same in your own home? :) There's toilet bowl, toilet paper...and also detergent with toilet brush for you to clean your toilet! I doubt girl will clean it..haha
The kitchen! I hung up a picture of fruits! nice? oh.. and there is the stove.. the sink..the cabinets..the refrigerator... Nice? right? i pack the utensils and plates and cups..et.c... nicely...so it's not visible in here.. however, i need to buy another cabinet as i dun have enough space to store food! The fridge is full already! There a microwave under the stove toO!
Here's just a brief tour around my house! I'll take more details of each room next time! like..what is in my fride.. what's on my study table.. and i'll light up the fire place.. on the tv.... and also, i'm going to build another 2 more rooms for girl! she'll need a space to wash her clothes...so i'm getting her a waching machine! wait for the next update!

P/S: Dar is jealous,that i have a new found hobby of building up my doll house..so, he also have a new found hobby.. and that is to collect swarovski crystals! that's even more costly than my house! well, i'll probably take the picture of his collection the next time round!~
