Point of view

Japan Day 2

Started the day bright and early and off we went to the Shinkansen (Bullet train).
This baby reaches up to 275km p/h. Kinda impressive.
It's really expensive to ride it though.
What would take days to travel in car takes only hours with the the Shinkansen. :)
But to me it was still just a train, didn't perk me up or anything. The conductor sticks his head out for no apparent reason when he arrived at our station. Remember those gerbil that pop up from the hole in the arcade and you hit it with a toy hammer?
Well I wanted to do it. :D
Then we went to visit temple in Kyoto,but we decided to shop instead.




Recycle !!! Jap ppl are really clean, notice they have high accuracy in aiming.
No rubbish on the floor near the bins.
In Malaysia you find rubbish everywhere around the bin instead of in it.

A Cake shop in the Train station!
Kyoto! Tell me this make Secret Recipe look bad.

These may look plastic to you but the real thing is exactly the same!

I have problem identifying some of these fruits

Cool eh? Cutting the cake would be a hassle though.


Belle was so proud!!! See her beaming from ear to ear.
Belle Jane must be too after reading this!

More cake! Those look like straws

Rasberries! Yummm

Ok this is weird i admit.
Imagine having a bite and having stems poking you

Jap Chick... This one didn't check me out. Thank goodness

Shopping area we went to.
We lingered around the area instead of walking up the temple.

See school kids everywhere!!!
I mean it's part of class studies. They visit the coolest places.
Themeparks, stay at hotels, visit mountains.. you name it.
All paid for by Goverment too!
Back here we get Zoo Negara. :(

It's some snack.
Closest I could think is our Apam Balik with toppings. Haha

400 Yen is Rm 12. Imagine that! And it's suppose to be cheap!

This was really nice. Mochi! Very tasty but only last 5 days

Jap chick! Haha no english again :(

Black Tea Ice Cream dunno la.. But kinda nice.

Did she or didn't she push the ice cream in my face? Guess :)

The rumored ultra short skirt school gals aren't all true.
Only some wants to make a fashion statement.

Wide screen vending machine.

Cream puff!!! Haha

Kimono Show. Kimono are really expensive.
Some is equivalent to a car!



Ancient wedding Kimono

Hime sama (Princess) Hehe looks like la

Parking is a killer. I think it says 20 min for 200 Yen.

Our hotel rooms. 4-5 stars so its kinda good dy!

We went to a Sega centre near or hotel to play games.
I mean in Msia we see these win a doll machines and are almost impossible.
But in Jap they have video tutorials in the place to show you how to win!
How cool is that? The tutorials are amazing. Makes me look stupid
So here is attempt 1

Nope no luck. Shant give up

Nope either. Closer though

This means WAR!

Yes!!! Wohoooo

Won two. So it's not impossible but really takes skills.
Will look for the videos in Youtube see can show you or not.
Blow your mind man.

Japan Day 1

Went to Japan for 7days. Had tons of fun there. Exposed to the culture and finally I get to go where Naruto and Bleach spawned from. Haha (Btw it's an anime)
So our day started early cause we flew in around midnight.
Planes don't feel safe as they use to.
I hate turbulence, I mean sure it feels like a roller coaster but what's the worse that can happen on a roller coaster rite? Puke, headaches, lost of appetite after it. But not on the plane, you can't puke cause there are always toilet trolls hogging the toilet entry. You can't have headaches cause it's so high up (Ok I am making this up) and you can't lose anymore appetite with plane food.
So you pray for dear life that the pilot driving the plane is still the same pilot driving it when you started the journey. Haha but seriously at 30 thousand feet the oxygen to my brain is thin and I panic at times. But what the heck atleast I get to watch Jumper before the worst! So anyway we touch down at kanasai.... I mean Kansai. I hate the Custom checks because it takes forever. The weather in Japan was cool but tad dry (Not humid at all!). Lips started cracking. Departed to see a Castle in Osaka.

Kansai Airport


Thats the castle. Cool eh? Look really carefully and you will see a ninja
In Japan their students go for field trips and get to visit castles, theme parks, etc.
So we saw a bunch of young ones and they were friendly. Ohio! Haha so cute.
In Malaysia our students go to cyber cafes for field trips. So we too have it here

This is a unique sign. If you let you imagination run wild, you will see
Crying face, Smiley face, Dead sideways face, Smiley, Smiley and Smiley face with leftover grains of rice. Talk about being creative with language

We were then off to Universal Studios!








Belle bought these. Rather cute

Churitos, sugar coated tree twigs. Tasted like that to me :D

Cool designed buildings in Universal. Wanna know something cool?

Enlarge this pic and read the sign. You will laugh

Told you it was unique. Hehe. Nothing inside!

There is 1 vending machine to every 24 japanese in Japan
In malaysia we have 1 robber to every 24 malaysian.

Ranging from 120 to 150 Yen (100 Yen around Rm 3.10)

Don't be tricked Elmo smacked me really hard on da head

After Universal we headed of to Shin Sai Bashi. One of the longest shopping place.
It's like Rundall Street in Adelaide cept that it stretches 7km long!!!
About 1/10 million passersby a day on holiday, Osaka



The girl on the left was checking me out. Seriously!!!
Belle laughed and didn't believe me! Sigh... Do you?


Ah Lian... I mean hip happening clothings

In case of collision, you got someone to cushion your fall :D




StarBucks!!! The only English sign whole day besides Universal

Ok fine! Second english banner. English is like alien to them

Chick with LV bag

I am no marine biologist but this crab is HUGE! And 18000 Yen?

Chick in blue with pet... erm I mean fren



Night shots in Osaka!

Love this chocolate! nice nice

Remember this show?

Well I don't really like it.
Never did enjoy British production cept' for a certain few.
Felt like I was watching Free Willy all over again.
Willy was still adorable when he was big can't say the same for the Loch.


Compare them



Well maybe it's just my taste cause Belle enjoyed it. Haha
But enough of that. Watch it and you will see what I mean.
However this post is about a new breed of water horse.
It's the first I have seen but apparently it exist and there are sign boards warning ppl about it.


Check this out. Its a Water Horse mix Jelly Fish.
I call it the Jelly Horse or the Water Fish.
Some people come up with the weirdest drawings. Apparently the sign is also sexist, unless you are a man that loves to wear bikini. Oh yea mind you only bald people should be worried :D

Well we all know how healthy it is to ride a bicycle or walk.
We hear how it builds stamina, strengthens the heart and tones muscles.

How about a new bicycle that walks for you and leaves the riding to you?
Cool eh? Well it looks cool to me.
Practical? Maybe not la cause people can steal your shoes.

Also as a guy, I don't have that many pairs of shoes for it to wear.
Girls on the other hand have no problem. They most probably be able to dress up 10 bicycles.

But the concept is cool though. I mean think of it.
You are coming back from a mall and decide to go to gym.
No need to worry. Pop out the sneakers from your bike and you are ready to hit the irons.
It's also a grand idea to wind dry your smelly shoes :D


You can display your latest collections!

Isn't this so true? What causes us to see ourselves in a dimension only known to us?
Is it the reflection on the mirror or is it the mirage of the mind?

Why Women think they are fat?

Because they are! Hahahaha. Nar kidding. Just from observation, they like to compare alot and tend to be over calculative about portions of things. 1kg might sound like 1 tonne to the girls. This becomes serious as they lose their love for their own body and person. They tend to wonder who they are sometimes. The world say that slim and fit is the way to go, having these traits makes it worse cause they will succumb to what the world tells them is beauty or popular.

Why Men think they are hunks?

Because we are!!! Hahahaha. Kidding again. But I can say that it's cause of ego.
Guys are visual and most of us come from our own fantasy made worlds being superheroes and stuff. I mean what good would be a hero that looks like a spaghetti. Put it this way, have you seen a small kid in his imaginary world? Where he seems he can shoot laser beams out of his fingers and fly? Yup... So guys imagine and see things that are 4th dimensional and when they grow up they still do! Haha. Why do you think guys say stuff like "Aiya I can do better la" :D

Well be it the guys or gals we all need balance on what the world says and what God says

Some reminder :

Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward. For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.--Hebrews 10:35, 36

Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.(Romans 8:37)

Famous quotes:

Confidence is contagious. So is lack of confidence.--Vince Lombardi

You gain strength, experience and confidence by every experience where you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing you cannot do. --Eleanor Roosevelt

Confidence, like art, never comes from having all the answers; it comes from being open to all the questions --Earl Gray Stevens

Well I haven't been playing sports for more than 6 months hence the gain of weight.
Still yet to fully recover from a bad knee injury, but soon. :)
Can't wait to be kicking balls and breaking arms!
Some say that futsall is a guy's sport, I beg to differ.
Girls can play as well as most of us guys can and yea be rough at the same time.
All they need is get out of the herding mindset and they will do fine :D
What herding instinct do I mean?
Picture this with me, with girls it's 1 ball 10 girls.

Nope still dont get it? Ok let me try this
With the guys it's 1 ball and 2 guys fighting over it. :D :D :D
Ok ok I better stop making fun.

Just kidding girls but seriously it is just a sport and we do it for a good excersize and fun.

Think girls can't be rough?

I rest my case :)
