Japan Trip 2008 - 3rd Day

This was the 3rd day at Tokyo and today we had planned to spend one whole day at Odaiba.
Before heading off, we had breakfast at Sukiya, a restaurant that can be seen quite often.













We took the train to reach Shimbashi Station to transfer to another train to reach Odaiba. We spent quite a while searching for Shimbashi Station because it was located at the upper floor. ^^"















Along the way, in the train, we could see the famous Rainbow Bridge. (I had the journey from Shimbashi station to Odaiba recorded as video using my camera). Finally, we reached. And the picture above shown is the Fuji TV Station, our first destination for the start. There is an admission fee to explore the inside of Fuji TV Station. It was quite fun.













After that, we proceeded to the shopping mall beside Fuji TV Station. Min and I bought alot of things here. It was a wonderful place for shopping but of course, things were not cheap. ^^"
Once again, I need to praise the service in Japan was excellent. d(^.^)b It was raining heavily outside and the salegirl had our shopping paper bags wrapped up with plastic to prevent it from getting wet.

Above the picture is a very interesting window display of the Levi's shop.













Around late evening, we proceeded to Venus Fort. This place is beautiful and alot of shops to tempt you to shop. ^^" The ceiling was artificial and it kept changing, according to the time. Min bought a Burberry blue label wallet here. Unfortunately, I didn't get one which made me regret till now. Haiz...
As we were heading back, we decided to end our day after visiting the car exhibition held just next door.

Moving on

Despite it had been a very depressing and tiring last week, life still goes on. The same old saying " Pick yourself up when you fall down". If you don't help yourself, no one can help you.

I guess, I just have to re-organise my thoughts and move on, otherwise I will remain on the same spot, not going anywhere.

Life is all about moving on.

On Ice

For the past five years, I have been living in depression, remorseful and struggling to stay alive, in this world. A few friends told me to stay positive and things will be fine. Every time, when I feel that things have been going smoothly for me, unexpected thing will happen and 100% of it are all negative issues. How many times I have to fall and pick myself up after going through depression, sorrow, frustration and cursing for the past five years.

Happiness seems so distant to me. Even short term of happiness makes me afraid that it was a dream along but it is. All this time, I have been standing on a piece of ice.

A call from hospital came a few days ago. Finally, the ice that I have been walking on, gave way and I have fallen. Again.

I have heard people complaining money not enough for buying clothes, no money for travelling but for me, I have no money to stay alive, no money for lunch, no money to pay for hospital bills. Every thing that I have owned now, I have to save for months or years to get it. The money that I earned is not mine, is for my family, trying to stay alive, to make ends meet every month.

Now, I have to budget my expenses to the extent that I can only have breads for meals every day. Anyway, to eat is just to stay alive, doesn't matter what kind of food is it.

Living is so difficult, especially illness and poverty follow.

My thoughts

See Each Morning

As If It were The

Morning of The First Day;

Treasure Each Day

As If It were The

Evening of The Very Last Day.

Rotten Apple (s)

I just came back from lunch, fuming with anger and disbelief.

Earlier on, at the hawker centre, it was quite crowded despite that it was around one o'clock when I reached there. After ordering my food, I went to search for an empty table or a table to share. Finally, found one round table, with one lady. She was alone as well. I had found a table to share but no chair, so I started looking around to borrow empty chair.

I approached a group of ladies on the left when I saw a table with 3 ladies but 5 chairs.;3 of them were taken, one for putting the ladies' handbag and one was empty. However, when i asked to take that chair away, they said they were waiting for another one person. Normally, I will take it and leave but the empty chair was placed at the angle of the square table. How can one having meal with that arrangement. Well, since words were spoken, I just walked off to try my luck at other tables.

After about 5 minutes, I managed to get one empty chair. As I was just seated, I saw another group of ladies, which was opposite my table, stood up and left. Then I realised, this group of ladies had already finished their meals long ago because the hawker uncle was clearing away only cups and glasses. I always hate people like this, after finishing their meals (+ drinks), they refused to leave. If the hawker centre is empty, I don't care you take one hour or 24 hours, sitting there but during crowded period, when people are searching for seats, with grumbling stomach, these people should be more considerate.

After finishing my lunch, which took about 20 minutes, I stood up and ready to head back office. Then I decided to let my gaze drifted to the table on my left. It was still occupied by the 3 ladies who were talking away and there were 5 chairs; 3 were taken, one was occupied with handbag and one was empty. That empty chair that I asked for at the beginning.

investment

Haiz...my current wallet is about to be gone...T___T I just bought it early last year. I have been changing wallet and bags very often than any other accessories that I own. I like to carry alot of things in my bag...to be prepared for rainy day, I guess...^^" and I like to have alot of cards in my wallet, making it looks fat. :s

Now, come to think of it, maybe I shall get a branded wallet. Well, is expensive but you are paying for the quality. My brother bought a branded wallet years back and he is still using it now, for about 5 years and above!! He said it was a long-term investment when he first bought it and is true.

However, I still have my budget constraint, so I don't want to spend over like $300 plus for a wallet. Hey, that's my monthly expenses budget or even lesser. T______T

So, any recommendations?? (^^)

New haircut

Today, I came to work with my new hair style. Lala~lala~lala heehee.

Yesterday, I didn't go for the meeting BUT not because of this haircut appointment. It was due to the large amount of work that is piling up on my desk. (I even have problem finding my stationary now, hidden in between the papers :s)

Later, I am going to kinokuniya to get my Tsubasa vol 23 and Naruto vol 42. YEAH!! And most of all, my mushroom set of miniatures. Mushroom~~ah~~I love mushroom. (>.=)~*
