hey everyone!:D i'm back from the land of the sexy osaka man-JAPAN!:3 it was awesome! but i didn't get to meet nishikido ryo.:( but i did buy lots of his postcards, stickers and photos.:D and neither did i get to eat loads and loads of takoyaki.:( but we did at least buy a box of it to eat there.:D

anyways, anyways, anyways, lots of epic, funny and great stuff happened there. it was super duper cold when we first went there, cuz of the rain...:( but it wasn't so cold during normal temperature.:) AND GOSH WHEN THE WIND BLOWS YOUR TEETH WILL REALLY CLATTER LIKE CRAZY.T^T

okok, it's gonna be a long story, but i'm gonna post abt the main idea of the days we spent there, ok?:D

on the first day, we went to the airport, checked in, boarded, blablabla... A380!:D but actually, i find it a pretty normal plane...?0.0" oh well. and then it was night flight, so everyone wanted to sleep. but i couldn't.:( so i decided to watch a movie. GUESS WHAT. THERE WAS A NISHIKIDO RYO MOVIE AVAILABLE! KYA~!:3 the movie was: A Boy and His Samurai. japanese title(which is much nicer): ちょんまげぷりん (chonmage purin. something custard pudding.) it was a really nice(and quite epic) show!x) hehehehe. ahhh, and he even attended two months of cooking class just for the show. HE'S SO AWESOME MANZ!:3 ok anyways, back to the trip. i didn't sleep the whole night. idk why.:( so that was the so called 1st day of the trip. all spent on the plane. at least there was nishikido ryo.8D

ok, second day. when we finally reached narita, we collected baggage, blaaaaaah, went on a bus towards haneda(which through the journey, i STILL couldn't sleep. and saw disneyland:D), and then we had ramen for lunch there.:D it was nice!x) and after that, we boarded the domestic flight for hakodate airport in hokkaido. ahhh, it's alot colder there. so, we went sightseeing at some famous places... AND WE ATE HOKKAIDO ICE CREAM! OISHII~!:D or rather... oichi!XwX(hey wait, i'm not yamapi.) and the sky is alr dark at like, 4.30pm. and when it's 4.30pm there, it's 3.30pm in s'pore. in other words, when church started, it was already night for us.=.=" then we went to the onsen hotel! after dinner, we showered and went to the onsen. uwaaaa, it's great to soak in there during winter. so warm!:3 and it's soooo cool that me and sis got to experience the japanese life-- WE SLEPT ON TATAMI!8) it's nice, you know.:D AND WE WORE YUKATA!:3 I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO TRY ONE!^w^ though it was a little big and there wasn't the thingy to tie around and the design was kinda plain, i'm really happy.:D hmm, maybe i should have bought one home at the airport...( ;A;)

ok, third day, which seemed like the second day.0.0" had breakfast, and headed off to go out and sightsee again. we went to the fish market first... and there was this super cool thing. you can fish your own live squid, and then they'll cut it up and make sashimi for you right there!:O it looked super fun fishing it!:D but looking at it get cut up was kinda sad... and gross. they'll cut the body off first, and leave the tentacles later. AND WHEN THE LADY WAS CUTTING THE BODY, THE TENTACLES STOOD UP AND STARTED CRAWLING.:O eeeeks. but we bought some good food.:D hmm, i can't really rmb where the next stops were, but it was fun for the whole day, i guess.:D and we went to another onsen hotel that night!:D ahhh, this time we tried the open-air onsen. IT WAS SOOOO COOL.:D at first me and sis battled to cold like mad to get outside. while we were still walking down the stairs, we felt like freezing alr. needless to say how cold is was when we finally got outside naked...=.=" but once we got in it felt really awesome.^w^ and after we got out, it didn't feel cold anymore, thanks to the hot water.:D hmmm, but we slept on bed that night.

ok, fourth day. eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...............
OH MY GOSH MY MIND IS IN A COMPLETE BLANK.D:
hmm, but i think this was the day we had mutton for lunch...? or was it the third day...?
ahhh, i realised that i always have small memory lapses. and nosebleeds. and stumbling a little while walking. and problems with breathing. PLEASE DON'T TELL ME THIS IS A TYPE OF SCA.:'(
okok. stop scaring myself. i'm fine. i'm just bad at remembering some things. and clumsy. and a little problem with the nose. the end. okay. skip to next day.:P
HEY WAIT I JUST REMEMBERED SOMETHING. IT STARTED SNOWING THIS NIGHT! YESYESYES!:D i rmb toshie-san was worried abt having no snow and we can't go to the snow world the following day. but we were having some awesome sushi and a shop and having an awesome time talking with the chef there.:D it was raining before that. then we finally left the shop, and when we went out, we saw white stuff. then we were like, huh? then we looked up. and saw white powdery stuff that wasn't rain falling down. then we all jumped and screamed, "IT'S SNOWING!!!!!":D:D:D:D time for konayuki and white x'mas.:D i can't rmb abt the day, though.:(

ok, fifth day. we had a free and easy morning/early afternoon.:D the snow really piled quite abit, and it was still snowing pretty nicely.:D we went out to the canal and lunch.:D as the snowflakes landed on our gloves, we could see all the really pretty shapes of the snowflakes.:D:D:D kirei da na~! and we had ramen for lunch! oichi!^w^ and we bought ice ceam with choco! wheehee~!:D:D:D ooh, after lunch, we gathered back at the hotel and headed off for kiroro snow world!:D:D ahh, the snow was really beautiful.^^ we had lots of fun building a snowman that turned out to be a sick snowman...(shall not go into details. but sis it's your mess.:P), making angels on the snow, snowball fighting and sliding down the slope.^w^ ahhh, none of us wanted to leave. even the adults had fun in their snowball fights.xD ahhh. i think we went sightseeing at some other places before resting for the night.:D OOOOH YESYESYESYESYES!!! I REMEMBERED SOMETHING VERYVERYVERY IMPORTANT!!!:D:D:D:D when we went shopping in the streets, we suddenly saw this ARASHI poster!!:D:D:D then, there was a note saying there were kanjani 8 concert photos available!:D:D:D so we went up to the shop, and it was literally A PLACE FLOODED WITH ALL WE WANTED. NISHIKIDO RYO, YAMAPI, KAME, NEWS AND ALL THE JPOP MERCHANDISE!!:D:D:D:D WAHAHAHAHA. sis managed to get kame and taguchi keychains!:D as well as a kame postcard. i spammed with ryo's kanjani 8 concert photos, postcards and stickers. now i have something to do in class when i'm bored.
