Day 5 - Tokyo

.Sario Puroland "Hello Kittyland".
Before heading to the Sanrio Puroland, we bought some sushi from a near by supermarket. It was so-so but cheaper than Singapore I must say. We also had Tako-balls wah those were hot and Superdelicious. That one, Singapore can't find. *Slurps*

If you are ever in loved with Hello Kitty when you were young and never were able to afford the merchandise? Then you should really buy a ticket to Japan and visit this girly land to relive your deprived childhood. Any merchandise can be bought there... you name it? They have it. From a sweet to sock to sweater ... everything.

This was a boat ride we took, not as scary as it seemed hahah it went up but eventually came to a Plateau actually. Soo Wei was just putting her drama skills to good use. :) Convincing?

My Melody was my favourite.

Actually the cutest and sweetest characters are SugarEstherbunny and My Sooweilody. :)



This was the biggest Hello Kitty we found there. :) But the two ladies beside it definitely look so much cuter.

.Gotenba Shopping Oulet.

This was taken around 5-ish pm in the evening.. nearly all dark. Loved the sunset.

I guess the only thing worth buying there is GAP. Cos the rest of the branded outlets still costs as much as its named? Well... not worth it. Bought a little dress for Sarah darling and I think she will look absolutely adorable in it. :)

.ShinJuKi.
This is a busy shopping trip and we went there that night for Shabu Shabu (A Japanese dish of thin slices of meat and vegetables cooked at table in a simmering pot of broth, then dipped into any of various sauces.)


This was one of my favourite dish in Japan actually cos its non salty. :) The pork had no small. But they gave us quite fatty pork though...

Esther enjoying her Shabu Shabu.

Day 6 - Tokyo Disneyland / Narita

I exclaimed when I heard that Hyatt Regency Tokyo (Hotel) serves western breakfast in the morning. I really miss having bread and butter. The best part of this 5 star hotel is that they serve cheese with crackers.. hahaha I absolutely love it.

This was Esther's breakfast for the day (round 1).

This house sparrow caught my eyes as we approached the Cinderella Castle in Tokyo Disneyland. Cos it was feeding on popcorns... found it so cute.

Esther with the Cinderella Castle. Its built right in the middle of the whole theme park - you can't missed it.

The first ride we took was at "Its a small world".

Li Chee and I in the boat. Esther was the photographer.

Esther then hopped on and we were all excited for our mini adventure..

The boat ride brought us through a fascinating world of the tiny. All the figurines were very well sculpted and the song "its a small world after all, its a small, small world..." was played throughout the ride. Totally enjoyable as you watch all those figurines moved with the music.

We were sitting on the floor in the open waiting for the 11am Parade to commence.

Next we enter Minnie's home and it was like my DREAM home hahahaha everything was of total CUTsie-ness.



























Too much of cutsie-ness will kill Esther hence, we decided to head on to Tomorrow Land to catch "Honey, I shrunk the kids" My eyes were shut when the dog animals were being magnified.. gosh! Another flooding experience.

This kiddy go-kart look-a-like thingy was cheap thrill...

Was hungry before finding the lunchie place and hence we made do with one of this. Forgot the name for it but it was DELICIOUS.

Took a pic with this UP monument display. They looked better than the picture actually.

Passed by barrels of wild flowers. They were so lovely.

Once again we were bored....

Esther in search of the Fried Chicken which we wanted to have for lunch.

Finally! Found. Steaming hot when we bite it but just slightly warm in out mouth... its too cc.old.

We ordered a set of Chicken Basket each.

While queuing to take picture with Belle, my contact lens dropped out. GOSH!

These ducks are everywhere...

After a long walk, coffee and tea would just be the next best thing to do. :) Esther and I had a good 90 mins chat before we ended our Disneyland tour. woo whoo fellowship!

Bye bye Disneyland. :)

This was dinner... BBQ..

But our food never get cook even after everyone else in the group has finished their dinner. Something was wrong with our stove. :( *Sigh* Empty stomach, heading back to Narita Ecxel Hotel.

Day 7 Narita to Singapore

Its our final shopping at Narita before boarding our 730pm flight. Kenny brought us to the nearest shopping mall near our Hotel. Made some last minute purchases and zoom... sayonara yo...sayonara yo... Singapore here we come.

Had a late breakfast that day, 9am.. Woo ! It's terrific just to be able to sleep in. Din really enjoy their traditional morning breakkie but thought since its the last day, I decided to savour every bit of it for the last time.

This was Esther's breakfast EVERY morning. This poor girl was so ill throughout the trip that she barely ate.

Miso soup was one of the best! Actually, at the end of breakkie, the tray on my table was left very much the same.. kekeke

Was a little hungry while shopping and hence bought a pack of IKA nuts from Diaiso which costs me 100 yen ($1.60). As the saying goes, good stuff not cheap, cheap stuff not good.. *sigh* it so describes the pack I was holding.




was waiting for our lunch to arrive and both of us were BORED...








Was still waiting... Soo Wei getting a little impatient...









FINALLY, after the chef had gone to the ocean to fish out the salmon and seafood and knead the dough from scratch to make the spaghetti... we get to have our lunch...

This was mine.

This was Esther's.

Headed back to Narita Ecxel Tokyu Hotel to wait for another 45 mins before the coach would arrive to bring us to Narita airport. So what do bored people do? hahah Take silly pics again... keke.






This is Cheng Yee, she loved Esther and I, gave us a letter each before we part. This 6 year old sweet little thing warms my heart each time she smiles at me in the cold.

If you ever fly out from Narita Airport,
never buy snacks outside of the airport
cos they have one TAX-FREE shop..
*Sigh.. Esther and I were like "MAN!"
What's great was Royce Chocx were slightly cheaper there and we had a taste of the latest flavour before boarding plane.
