Japan Trip #1- Hiccups

Tweet

Just came back from my japan trip few days ago...will get back to my gym routine tmr...

must work harder!!!  

I don't think i will be blogging my trip by day but in category...

will try to be as specific as possible with the directions...*fingers crossed* 

but first thing first..this post will be about hiccups...

why hiccups? keep reading...

if you've followed me on fb you would hv notice that i didn't make it on my original flight...

and it's not because I was late...

and you will know that 6 of us travelled to Tokyo in 3 different airlines..== 

confused? you bet...

While we were checking in at LCCT, we've only realized that 4 out of 6 passports need visas! 

FOL i know! 

Only the new passports with the weird chip logo on the front can go to Japan without a Visa...== 

when the newspaper came out with the news of revoking the need of visa to go to Japan they didn't state about this...only when you log in to the Japanese embassy website, you'll see them state about this...

but on the website it says "advised" not "obliged"...

even when the japan embassy ppl called airasia's officer regarding this matter saying that they will get us all arrival visas in tokyo, airasia still did not let us check in...DAMN YOU AIRASIA...

ok, i know it's partly our fault for not doing such in depth research but having to fork out so much money for another ticket is just mindfucking...

in the end, my mom and Macy took off first..but because of all the arguing and the hassles, they were late to check in their baggage and hence they went off without their baggage and the rest of us took their baggages with us on our " amazing race " ...

i can't disclose some details on my blog but we've eventually settled everything like walking on cables...phew 

what i can say is that something happened when we were buying our new air tickets...

we've initially wanted to buy in four but it turned out to be much more expensive than buying individually so we'd bought our tickets one by one...

after buying 3 tickets through Malaysia Airlines...they'd decided to sell out == 

end up we had to buy the fourth ticket through Japan Airlines...Thus, 6 person flying through 3 airlines == 

after that horrendous few hours, we've finally board on our flight and landed safely at Narita airport... 

From Narita airport to our hotel - Shinjuku Washington Hotel 

we've took the metro (Kesei Line)  then switched at Nippori to JR Yamanote Line until Shinjuku Station..This is the cheapest way to get from Narita to Shinjuku ( about 1200+ yen ) 

If you don't mind paying more for comfort, then you can always opt for the coach which is about 3000yen which stops at certain main hotels including Shinjuku Washington Hotel 

If you're getting to shinjuku from Haneda Airport ( where airasia lands) the coach only coast about 1200 yen per trip...

if you rather take the monorail then change to JR yamanote line at hamamatsucho station to Shinjuku 

 waiting for the train~ 

 damn clean ok? 

 at Nippori station waiting for our train to shinjuku 

finally at the hotel~ 

Hotel costs us about RM180 per person per night 

the size of the room is quite small but manageable and pretty reasonable since we're in the centre of tokyo... 

the only problem is that most of the staffs can't speak proper english and it's always a pain to communicate...but overall Japanese are really really well mannered~! 

Sorry for such a wordy post, the next one will be more picture oriented...i promise...

I will categorize it into - shopping, food, disneysea etc 

sort of happy day =)

I've found some good in today and i'm sort of happy =) 

finally got to see unbeatable with a bunch of friends and it was awesome~! 

super love Eddie Peng hahaha...

his abs,chest etc are to die for! 

if i could just touch it....*drool* 

i was spazzing so much inside while i was watching the movie...

i little of me died inside when he was dumped from the air and his neck was dislocated...=( 

nick cheung was really good too...without him the movie won't be as funny...

lee xin qiao is really a talented childstar ...hopefully she's going to grow up as a humble girl and not like a spoilt celeb like everybody-knows-who... 

Eddie Peng is definitely my inspiration and his perseverance has kept me going when i feel down during my weightloss journey...

if he can do it! I can do it! rawr!!!  

while watching the movie Jan whatsapped me saying that i got into dean's list... 

that's the 2nd happy thing of the day =) 

I'm glad that my hard work has paid off...i must keep going and work harder this coming final year..

hopefully i can maintain my results =D 

keep up!!  

Finally i've purchased the disneysea tickets~ 

my Japan itinerary is slowly forming and hopefully i won't let anybody down...

damn hard la..coz it's my first time going to japan and i know zero japanese...

but hopefully everything will go smoothly~ =)  

First impression review- Lancôme by Alber Elbaz Hypnôse Star

Tweet

It has been months since I last posted about make up...

for the past few months i didn't make any interesting purchase besides bioderma cleansing water which i was too lazy to blog about it...

The star today is a mascara by Lancôme..

I've been waiting for this to launch in Malaysia every since I saw it online..

I was held back by myself from buying it in Singapore and Hong Kong I dunno why but finally It's here~ =) 

There's a total of four mascaras in this collection...btw..it's limited edition and the packaging is so cute =) 

but I'd only managed to see these 3 at the counter...which are star,drama and doll 

The one i decided to buy after considering is the blue one which is hypnose star...

this mascara is supposed to be for volume and curl...since I have inverted eyelid and volume is not my main problem, i reckon that the curling effect will help better than adding too much volume which is what doll and drama does...

I looked at all the wand and star seems the easiest to work with since it's quite small and I think it can also be used for the lower lashes...haha 

pictures: 

the packaging and the mascara itself 

the wand..one side is straight and one side is curved for the ease of curling your roots 

the moment of truth:

the before and after picture 

the top picture is after two coats and the bottom picture is without any mascara...

you can see that my eye lashes are basically hidden inside my lids =( 

you can after two coats, my lashes are much more defined and visible LOL 

The best part of this mascara is that it's water proof...

My ysl mascara is really good too but it smudges on me like hell due to not being water proof... 

verdict: 

it does what it says but I hvnt wear it long enough to determine how well the staying power is...but if it doesn't smudge on me then it's definitely an awesome deal because up till today I have not found one that does not smudge on me because I have inverted lids that cause friction between my lashes and lid + plus my lids are oily...so if it works on me...then you definitely have to take a look on this mascara =) 

what say you?

瘋婆游香港Day 5- Last Day~

Tweet

2/8/2013 

今天是最后一天。。。

前一天还在纠结要去天坛大佛还是去铜锣湾逛街。。。

虽然到最后还是决定去逛街XD

结果一大早就刮起三号风球～ 

然后去到车站发现说去昂平的缆车因为风球停止运作。。。

所以还真的幸亏我们决定逛街。。不然心里一定会很失望 XD小窃喜了一下。。。

去的路途中威尼斯就说不懂香港有没有hollister..（伏笔） 

到了铜锣湾后我们就去找东西吃。。因为还没吃到香港的粥所以就找了一间粥店吃brunch 

我叫了艇仔粥。。还蛮不错的。。这间店刚好是推广养生的。。所以粥品都有药材在里面。。

感觉很健康。。实际就不知道啦XD 

天空就一直下起绵绵细雨。。。

我们就跑去hysan 广场里。。。

一上楼就看到hollister了。。LOLL！！！！  

然后果然还真的败了东西XD 

然后逛到不懂几楼给我看到有脚的袜子。。啊啊啊啊。。可爱死了。。。

威尼斯完全不能理解我对可爱袜子的爱。。。

不过真的很可爱啊啊啊。。。

逛到累了我们就到附近的义顺享用最后一次的双皮奶。。。

真的很赞！

过后我们回到酒店等一下。。。因为时间还早但是雨越下越大根本去不了哪里。。。

过后时间差不多，雨也停了我们才拖着我们沉重的行李去搭港铁到青衣然后再搭机场快线到机场。。。

在机场等了蛮久才登机。。

结果发生了冲上云霄II 发生的事。。。因为天气问题导致很多之前的飞机在前面排队。。。

要一个半小时才轮到我们。。。顶！！！ 

算算下，回到KL都凌晨2.30了咧。。。。

虽然过后没有delay那么久，不过也够久了。。。

我们也顺利到达KL也谢谢我父母那么夜还来接我们。。。 ＝）

香港之旅也就此结束啦～～～～    

碎碎念

香港记还剩一天但是我想写一下别的东西。。。

昨天和朋友去看了最近很夯的鬼戏－the conjuring...

不用说，大部分时间都是指缝中看荧幕 ＝＝ 

之前还好像很英勇的提议要去看。。。结果还是一个孬样。。。哈哈 

真的很恐怖。。。不是化妆，鬼的样子最恐怖。。。

最恐怖其实是气氛，看不清楚，听不清楚的东西。。。

拍手那边真的超级无敌诡异。。。

而且他们用的背景音乐超像老旧的鬼戏的那种音乐。。。

如果你想给钱自己吓自己的话，去看啦。。。XD

下一部就要去看男神的肌肉了XD － 激战！！！ 

期待惨了！ 

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

今天和孩儿时期的朋友一起聚会 ＝） 

每一年都一定会抽时间聚会一次。。。

我们4个要说几岁认识都要追随到我们还没有记忆的时候。。。

虽然现在都已经上大学，各有各的生活，但是这个传统都没有变 ＝） 

希望可以继续到未来的十年，二十年 等 

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

最近看冲上云霄2 

大家都很风靡captain cool。。。

但是这次不知道为什么我觉得sam超级有魅力。。。

上一辑我完全对他没兴趣的咯。。。

不过这次我觉得这个角色的情绪诠释到很有味道，反正就很有魅力啦。。。

我很少对大于50岁的人有兴趣的咯 哈哈哈 

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

庄言珊，加油！！！ 

向彭于晏的毅力看齐！！！ 

i can do it!!!!! 

瘋婆游香港－Day 4 （澳门天）

Tweet

1／8／2013

今天起得特别早因为要去澳门啦～ 

跑去麦当当吃了简单的猪柳包就乘搭酒店免费的shuttle bus到中港城。。。

在turbojet的柜台要买票的时候被别人告知说要等到12点才有票。。。

所以我们就买了cotai的9点船票。。。

其实两个我都听过不过turbojet必叫多人搭因为它是直接在澳门本岛下船，而cotai是在沊仔下船的离旧城区比较远。。。

而且我们买票的时候还剩7分钟就开船了。。。我们完全就是用跑的跑上船。。。

赢了咯。。。现在还追船。。。哈哈哈 

船程大概一个小时。。。

到了过后我们就去柜台问下最方便去到澳门塔的方法。。。

结果怎样dok都要搭德士。。。

我们首先坐上了免费的赌场shuttle bus到金沙，然后再坐德士去到澳门塔。。。

不然直接在港口坐的话很贵。。。

otw to澳门塔～ 

路途上还看到了一个不像观音的观音像 LOL 

然后最奇怪的事情发生了。。。

我们一上车的时候和德士司机说广东话（我确定他听得懂我们的广东话），然后我们之间的对话是华语。。。

结果他问我们是不是韩国来的。。。huh?????

我们不是前一秒才说着广东话吗？ 

他就说很多韩国人也会说广东话。。。我就真的扎到了。。。

可能我们发音太过不标准瓜。。。不可思议 

其实我们去了香港那么多天应该把很多服务人员都搞死。。。

其实我们没有那个意思的咯。。。

我们其实都尽量说广东话。。。只不过我们两个之间的对话已经习惯用华语沟通。。所以就一直换channel...服务人员一听到又跟着换。。。我们又觉得他们很辛苦但是又不好意思换回去。。。sorry 

有时一开始说英文，然后我们两个自己私底下说华语，他们又跟着换。。。其实可以不用换的啊。。。我们的广东话还算OK的咯。。。 

到了澳门塔我们就跑去skywalk x的柜台给钱了 LOL

然后就上到了61楼准备～  

 钱是包括入塔费。。。

换上了skywalk x的衣服～ 

装上装备后我们也就踏出户外了。。。风还不是一般的大。。。

我真的是俗仔来的咯。。。很多动作都不敢。。。威尼斯很大胆啊。。。做什么都可以。。。><不过对于一个本身对于高度很恐惧的人算是及格吧。。。。 

绕了一圈后我们也进回室内了。。。

我们就下到58楼的观望台乱来。。。哈哈哈 

连蜡像都要去骚扰XD  

哇。。好高哦 XD 

玩了一下后我们便搭巴士到旧城区去～ 

感谢好心的巴士司机告诉我们哪里下车 ＝）  

 很欧洲hor? 

虽然已经来过一次，不过上次实在赶到。。。所以没什么印象。。。

毕竟这次完全是自己策划的所以印象一定特别深。。。＝）  

楼上那张照片就是很出名的大山巴牌坊～ 

宁愿没拥抱～～～ 有看澳门街的朋友一定很熟悉。。。

 虽然那时下起了绵绵细雨（才怪） ，一号风球都悬挂了。。。我们依然风雨无阻地继续拍照XD 

买了一颗矩记葡塔来share =)好吃啊。。。甜甜的酥酥的 ＝） 赞！ 

然后我们也买了大利来记的猪扒包 ＝） 好吃！ 

 好吃。。但是骨头有点大。。。哈哈 

过后我们就走来走去。。。也困难重重地搭上对的巴士到渔人码头。。。

有看running man的朋友们一定觉得很熟悉。。。

不过说实话，除非你时间很多不然没必要去。。。没东西看的。。。。

而且我们去到的时候刮大风。。。哈哈哈

这是什么状况？ LOL 

我们又搭免费的shuttle bus到威尼斯人，威尼斯的故乡LOL 

澳门之旅应该叫cheapskate之旅 XD 

威尼斯人离很happening 咯。。。很多小表演在各个角落进行。。。

还有，有看花样男子的朋友门也会很兴奋。。。哈哈哈 

 突然有人出现唱歌。。笑死我了 

 金丝草在这里很伤心嘛。。所以我也要假emo XD 

假恐龙XD 

威尼斯人很不错。。。来澳门的要去看看 ＝）  

过后我们又搭免费的shuttle bus去到码头。。。

搭船回去香港咯 ＝）  

回到去我们就回到酒店洗刷一下。。。准备去meet feli去兰桂坊 ＝） 

准备好了后我们就去酒店附近的烧腊店吃很迟的晚餐顺便看了一下冲上云霄2 XD 

不错吃下。。。＝） 

过后我们就搭港铁到中环等feli...

等到后我们就开始走到去兰桂坊啦。。。

我承认我蒲的经验真的很少。。。。我也没特别喜欢夜生活。。因为我很懒XD

不过去到国外体验下也不错。。。

而且刚好是ladies night所以很多酒吧都有免费酒。。虽然我不太喝酒 ＝＝ 

对不起咯。。。照片都蒙到酱。。。太暗了嘛。。。

反正暗到全部人看起来都一样 LOL 

玩到一点多我们的脚也快死了。。我们就搭N巴士回到旺角再搭德士回酒店。。。。

今天就是那样过啦。。。＝）  

瘋婆游香港 Day 3

Tweet

31／7／2013

今天算是收获的一天。。。哈哈。。

因为终于买到东西了！！  

早上明明第一站是要去檀岛咖啡饼店吃早餐的。。。

结果一出港铁（中环站）。。。竟然看到abercrombie XD

本来去之前想说随缘看到就进去。。。结果一出来就看到。。。完全就是天意啊！ XD

所以我们就进去了 XD 

门口的那个混血儿帅哥也太帅了吧。。。XD

可惜我太害羞不敢问可不可以拍照 。。。>< 

结果我们两个还真的有买了东西出来。。。eeeee

然后本来的早餐弄到快变午餐了XD 

 这个位于stanley street 直直走下去就看到了。。。巷子还蛮deserted的。。。蛮靠近abercrombie& fitch的店的 XD 

去到檀岛必点的就是菠萝油＋蛋挞 

而且每个人都有最低消费 13HKD如果没记错，不叫也不行。。。

 菠萝油一口咬下去就有冰冰的奶油＋热热的菠萝包混在一起的口感。。。内心就纠结死了。。。一方面就很爽，一方面又超级无敌内疚。。。因为肥死了！ 

蛋挞就外酥内软。。。也很推荐！ 

威尼斯叫了它们的鸳鸯，她说还不错。。。＝）  

是很好吃没错，但是吃没几口就腻了。。。以上就是我的杰作。。。对不起啦 

吃饱喝足后我们就继续游走在中环。。。

走到了最长的手扶电梯。。。还真的有够长的。。。

 很香港的小巷 

最长的手扶梯。。。走回下来的时候还真的不是一般的想死。。。＝＝ 

过后在中环豆没有收获。。。因为真的都买不起 TT 

只有贵妇才能在中环疯狂血拼 

既然我们已经在中环混不下去了，所以就打算搭电车去铜锣湾。。。

我们基本上都把香港的交通工具搭遍了。。。港铁，小巴，城巴，电车，德士 

 电车里德情况。。。超级多外劳的。。。不过算是公共交通中便宜的了。。。

到了铜锣湾 百德胜街站－53E 我们便下车走到在隔壁的sogo去了。。。

这次就真的买了蛮多的。。。因为都在大减价。。而且都不是那种大名牌 XD 开心。。。

一层应该逛了快两个小时了吧XD 

然后在楼下看到了我的男神的海报。。。非得要拍一张XD

帅死了～！  

然后走了一下铜锣湾超级大的forever 21便回去酒店洗刷一下。。。

你没看错。。。我们吃了那个吃不完的菠萝包后就没进过食了。。。可见逛街的魅力。。。。

过后我们就在中环meet 了feli~!  

然后在迷路到餐厅的途中。。。我们又看到了A&F。。。然后feli就问我们有没有和model合照。。。

我们就说没有然后她就把我们拉进去了。。。。哈哈哈哈 

导致有了这张。。。哈哈哈

虽然不是那个很帅的混血儿不过有肌肉男也不错啦。。。胸部超级大。。。

然后经过了不断的迷路后。。。XD

我们终于到了莲香楼～ 

其实蛮好吃的。。不过有点贵而且要多点人去吃比较好。。。

我们那么少人完全就是吃不完！ 浪费了好食物 ><  

过后feli就把我们送到车站就离开去接她妈妈了 ～ TT

我们就搭城巴上山顶去～ 

 很美hor....XD 不过风超级大。。。没有一张头发是正常的 LOL 

瘋婆般的照片。。。。

我们也在那里一直做很奇怪的动作。。完全没有在理会旁人的白眼XD 

instavideo都不懂弄了多少次XD 

在上面不知道吹了多久风，在巴士站不知等了多久巴士。。我们终于下山了。。。

也回酒店打盹了。。。

这天就这样完毕啦～～～
