Japan Trip 2008 - Part 5 / 2nd Day

After leaving Ueno Park, we dropped by this 6-storey anime building before we headed down to Akihabara. This building was stationed a few shops beside the stall that we had our breakfast earlier on and just opposite Ueno Train Station.

I will recommend this place for getting souvenirs. A lot of cute things inside and I spent a bomb, most of the souvenirs I got it from here, which I never expected that in the first place. =.=III












Then we went to Akihabara to visit the Tokyo Anime Centre. It was free admission.











Inside the Tokyo Anime Centre. All these figurines are human-size. I have taken quite a number of pictures but I only posted this. This was just the beginning of day 2. :s

Since we were at Akihabara, of course, we went to some of the electronic shops and beside, Min wanted to get a handphone, one of the latest design in Japan.

One highlighted point, beside electronics stuffs, there were alot of bookshops at Akihabara, most of them were multiple stories. (My eyes were opened wide and shining with anticipation) This was where I managed to clear most of the titles on my book list. Heehee~~~











In the late evening, we set off to Ropponggi Hills to look at the street arts and lookout for this big gigantic spider sculpture, specially requested by Min.

While taking a rest, I saw groups of office people coming out of the building and there were these people with camera, background lighting boards etc. Then these groups of office people would stand under the gigantic spider sculpture, like what we did when we were taking our class photos back in school days. Instead of class photos, they were taking office photos.

If you look at the background carefully, you can see the Tokyo Tower behind and that was our final stop. Seemed near but that's where our exhausted journey started. T______T

Forgive me

The time has come

for me to go

Forgive me

but I wish to soar higher in the sky

~

The time has come

for me to decide

Forgive me

but I have to make a choice

I have been going through a lot of things for this week. Deeply sunken into depression and yet trying to clear my work, that is already piling up.


I have been so temperamental that I don't even want to talk to anybody, especially those who are not keen to listen to me, except those who are seriously trying to help me get out of it.


For those who kept saying, they have the same problems as me and ask me to face it, now I am telling you, I am facing problems with family, work and most importantly financial. Should I be happy that I don't have a boyfriend to add on to my burden??


I know a lot of people around the world are even worse than me, that's what I kept telling myself but I forgot I am staying in SG, where everything is so unbalanced.


Well, I will try to get myself out of this slump asap and hope to add a new entry for my Japan Trip.

Feeling suffocated...I can't breathe...this is killing me...

I am getting desperate because I am trapped now. I see no light.

I am really getting desperate...I feel like dying now...

Where is my "angel"??

I need no one except you, just be my side.

Where is my "angel"?!!!!!!

I am really getting desperate...I feel like dying now...Death is much better than struggle to stay alive...

Japan Trip 2008 - Part 4 / 2nd Day

After visiting Asakusa temple, we took the train down to Ueno.














This stall is just right opposite Ueno Train Station and this was where we settled our breakfast.

Instead of ordering your food verbally, there was a vending machine just at the entrance when you pulled open the main door where you just selected the food you like and inserted coins or dollars.

(Coins are very handy in Japan although most of the vending machines accept dollar note. They do not round off the cents to the 2ND decimal, unlike SG.)

Back to the ordering of food, a ticket was issued from the machine after inserting coins. We went inside and the chief / boss would get the ticket from you and start to prepare.










This is what I ordered. Rice with beef toppings, a bowl of miso soup and a cup of green tea. The miso soup tasted good but different from the bean paste that I had elsewhere and there were two little pinkish "thing" which I had no idea what was it. Now, for the main dish, the beef was good, chewy, tender and not overcooked.

By the way, this set of meal cost me 590yen (S$8.26). I found the price okay because the food was very nice and most importantly, it was very, very filling for me.






















After that, we walked to Ueno Park to do some sakura viewing. Hehehe

This hot weather is driving me crazy every minute of the day. SO HOT!!!!!!!

Lack of sleep at night because of it. Even with two fans operating, it is so unbearable. At moment like this, I really wish to install aircon but too much aircon is bad for health and complexion :S

Yesterday, which was a Saturday, was such a busy day. The 2 angel-in-disguise "devils" came to our house. I went to the hospital with my brother and then went to Toa Payoh to run some errands, bringing along one little cute "devil" with me. After that, stayed at home, clearing my own stuffs etc...

In between, I was playing the PSP brought by the little cute "devil" and I was addicted to the game "7 Wonders". Too bad, the PSP was not mine. Now, I am considering getting one but still deciding on getting a Nintendo DS or a PSP. Both cost around $400 plus. Well, for sure, will not be getting it until end of the year. Time to start savings for it.

Haiz...I have been saving for life for the things I want. When will the day comes when I can just spend whenever and on whatever I want.

Touched by An angel

I feel peaceful now because I had been touched by an "angel" today~~

Thousands of "Thank you" cannot express my gratitude to you.

I pray that happiness will be with you forever.
