Japan Trip Autumn 2008: Day 1 - 08.10.30 [木]

Jan 09, 2009 00:59

Marv and I reached Changi Airport very early like hours before the
check-in time as we were too excited and couldn't fall asleep

We sat down with some drinks and took a rest

After checking-in, we walked around and explored a bit

Me, haha. I didn't have any make-up on as I was gonna sleep in the plane.
Thus explains the shades. Hehe

After 6 hours plus..............

We finally reach our fave place.... JAPAN!!!!

There was still some time before the limousine bus arrives so we went over
to a newspaper kiosk to get us some drinks and snacks.

At the waiting area

The vending machines

It was about time to board the bus.

Yea, still having my shades on. I intended to put on make-up in the plane but
my liquid eyeliner's tip was dried up due to the dry atmosphere in the cabin.

I use Kanebo Kate's gel eyeliner usually but it was finished
and was thinking of getting it when I reach Japan. Aaaaaaa~
I was so troubled about it. (Pдq*)

あぁ〜！！SPY！！マジで困ってたな〜

＊SPY = すっぴんヤバイ

But I tried again in the limousine bus. Phew~ The liquid eyeliner works again.
I finished putting on make-up in the bus. Mission completed

よかったねん!!!!

After a journey of about 80 mins, we reached the hotel lobby.

It was already 4plus in the noon and we were able to check-in for our room right away.

Yeah!!! Back to Crowne Plaza Metropolitan Tokyo!!!
It is like our house in Tokyo. Hee..

We headed out after putting our luggage and refreshing ourselves.

First thing we did... Oh... My.. God...!!!

A MUST for Marv!! To grab some of his fave food, takoyaki. *faint*

I am still a bit sick of it but it still tastes good and how often do I get to eat the authentic ones.

東武(プラザ館)デパ地下にある銀だこたこ焼きです.

うちらからしが好きよん〜

We love karashi(Japanese mustard sauce).

Look at his HAPPY FACE!! Excited like a child. LOL!

いただきます〜☆

Main destination of the day....

渋谷！！

(Shibuya)

Cos I have made an appointment for acrylic nail sculpture with the previous nail salon I went.

As we arrived in Tokyo in the late noon, the 1st day of this Autumn trip was
rather a short one so I arranged to do my nails that day.

Another reason, I wanna have pretty nails when I shop!

I can guarantee you that the feeling when you shop will be even HAPPIER!!!

あゆ！！！

(AYU!!!)

三浦春馬クン．かっこいいよねん〜　＊てへ＊
秋’０８TBSドラマ、ブラッディマンデイ．

(Miura Haruma. Autumn'08 TBS Drama, Bloody Monday.)

またTBSの秋’０８ドラマです．

流星の絆

いいドラマですよ！是非見てください.

Another TBS Autumn'08 drama. Ryuusei no Kizuna.
It is a good drama!! Please watch it by all means.

The world's first L'occitane Cafe.
A lot of scenes from 流星の絆(Ryuusei no Kizuna) were shot at the cafe.
妄想係長〜　超ウケるな〜　アハハ、ハハハ！！

マルキュー！！♡

I went in to take a look at the shoes before heading to the nail salon.
I was overwhelmed by the number of pretty boots! I didn't know which to choose!
I needed to rush for the appointment so I decided to get a pair of pumps first.

NAIL SALON CARRY 渋谷店

バリエ豊富な前髪ウィッグ.

The bang wigs in a wide variety of colors.

Spotted the tv? They were playing Ayu's concert. They have many of Ayu's concert DVD.
They were playing different ones from the previous time I went.

Doing nails while watching Ayu's concert perfomance. Pure enjoyment!

My nailist showed me her nails which she just did. カワイイ！！

I chose another shape instead of square this time.
This kinda shape can be found on any female's hand in Shibuya109 easily

I wanted something glittery and shiny.. as always... Hehe. And something
which can match my clothes easily. So i chose to do this Silver Glittery French set.

Glitters x Pearls x Stones

洋服に合わせやすいシルバーをしたんだ

ラメ x パール x ストーンキラキラ〜ワイ〜！！

上の写真はサワさんに撮ってもらいました~ 優しいですね~

Before going back to Ikebukuro for dinner, we went to the drug store opposite Shibuya 109.

Halloween was around the corner!!

Flooded with VARIETY of COSMETICS and BEAUTY PRODUCTS!!

These sheet masks are VERY POPULAR in Japan now.
They even have their own anime and comic books. Haha.

うちも愛用してるねん〜

(Am lovin' it too!)

As I mentioned before, here's the picture of it.
Brands like Kose, Shiseido etc.. which can be found only at deparmental store
in Singapore can be easily found at the drug stores in Japan. Terrific isn't it?!

After getting some cosmetics, sheet masks and etc.., it's time to fill up our empty stomach!

秋吉やきとり　
池袋店

(Akiyoshi Yakitori - Ikebukuro Outelt)

Both of us miss the yakitori we had in Osaka so badly!! So we decided to try the
outlet in Ikebukuro as we did not include Osaka in our itinerary for this trip.

Hmmm... we think the chef is not as pro-looking as compared to the Osaka outlet

焼きとりを食べたり、冷酒を飲んだりしたよん~

(We ate yakitori and drank cold sake)

若どり　＊タレ＊
(wakadori - uses delicious part of spring chicken)

ねぎ串焼き　＊みそ＊
(yaki negi - grilled leek)

つくね　＊タレ焼き＊
(tsukune - chicken balls in tare sauce)

ネギマ　＊タレ焼き＊
(negima - chicken with leek in tare sauce)

We seriously think that the one in Osaka outlet tasted so much better!!!

We are so missing it!!

Craving for it!!!

We went to take purikura(photo stickers) after dinner.

On our way to take puri, something caught my attention.

リラックマ！！！

(Rilakkuma!!!)

We tried A LOT of times before catching one!!

やったねん〜　うぃっしゅー！

I wanted to get another design too. But it just woudn't drop despite umpteen times of tries. ＊ガーン＊

LOOK

That's how close we were.......

プリタイム！

(Puri Time!)

Some warm-up exercises in front of the mirror

Then... some cool-down exercises for me. Hehe

Nonetheless.. I love these still!
