My 2nd day in Japan.

It was a long day as it was the actual day of the event and I was so excited.

First, they brought me to Divercity to have a walk around the Gundam Front place as Gundams are also part of their franchise.

Even though I'm here before already but I did not watch the 3D show the previous time so this time I was able to watch all 3 of the 3D shows.

After that they brought me around the place and there is a new gundam video game museum inside which shows all the gundam games for the consoles which there are like TONS of them !

Sorry for tons of photos here.

This time round I had alot more time to walk around as the previous time I came, I was in a rush so I only stayed in this place for like 30mins but this time I was able to stay here for like 2hrs so I can slowly walk around to see see look look.

Because now they are showing Gundam Origins which is the story of U.C 0079 and they are talking about the history of the mighty Red Comet, Char Aznable. There were a few things related to him being displayed.

And of course there are tons of gundam displays there. What's a Gundam Front without Gundam Display !

And of course, the history of the gundam series shown on TV. Too bad I do not understand Japanese, but luckily all these can be found on the internet.

I shall stop here for now coz I'm actually not really feeling that well today thats why I only uploaded tons of photos and little words here.

My previous post I mentioned that I won the lucky draw for the SRW 25th anniversary event.

It was a short 3D2N trip but I requested to extend one more day so that I can have abit of free time to walk around Japan.

We arrive on friday morning around 8am and we took the bus to our hotel so that we can leave our luggage there first and we can go and walk around.

We went around the Shibuya area for a short walk as we had like a few hours of spare time before we need to meet up with the organisers and so we went to have lunch.

After that we walked around Shibuya area just to like waste some time because its still not our meeting time yet and so we just casually walked around Shibuya with no target in mind.

After that we went to DiverCity to meet up the organisers but actually the people with me are from the organisers already just that they need to meetup with the higher ups to show that they are being a good host to bring me around as I'm the winner of the lucky draw.

Coz they are from the Bandai Namco Company, so they brought me to their VR-Zone section to experience the VR Games they are making.

It was not very crowded because its only by reservation only as they do not entertain walk in customers, strictly booking only so I felt quite lucky that I was able to go there.

There were some merchandise on sale but the price for them are all abit expensive though thats why I didn't buy any of them, but also I dun really like pac-man though.

There were alot of type of VR for us to try. Like walking on the plank, haunted hospitals and those like gundam style games.

Pardon for the lousy photos. All these VRs are actually quite interesting and fun just that you need to have a Bana Passport card with you and of course you need to pay for each of the games you want to play and of course queue for it.

After that we visited the Gundam and had our dinner there as after everything ended its already quite late.

Of course my facourite gundam is a must visit and must take photo place.

After that they brought me to a nice BBQ restaurant which the bbq food is quite nice but of course its quite costly also.

After all that it ended really kinda late and we all decided to go back to our hotel and have a good rest as we're gonna have a very long day the next day because the next day is the main day for the main event !

I shall leave the main day for the next post !

Half of the year 2016 have passed.

Things happens

Good things and bad things.

In the first half of the year, I cannot believe I went to Japan twice.

First time is a planned trip with 2 friends which we went for 8 days.

The 2nd trip is from a lucky draw which I participated when I preordered SRWOG Moon Dwellers. Its really kind of lucky because I was not the initial winner as the initial winner had some passport or travel visa issue which caused them to have to draw for a 2nd winner which is ME ! Although its a short trip like a 3D2N trip but its still quite enjoyable because I was able to attend the SRW 25th Anniversary event and the people that is bringing me around are people that I know so its quite comfortable to travel around with them.

Apink was here in April for their fanmeet and of course I went to the fanmeet mini concert. They are my favourites ok ! Although its kinda expensive and its just only 2 hours but I quite enjoyed the whole thing.

The long awaited Street Fighter 5 was released in February and it was so hype but to be honest I felt quite disappointed in the game because I feel it was a rushed product as alot of things is incomplete and there were tons of errors. And at the beginning stages the online is kinda unplayable as people tend to disconnect and rage quit when they are gonna lose which is kinda turn off to be honest. The game is kinda costly also as you need to buy the season pass in order to have all the upcoming new characters and play them which all adds up to over a hundred dollars which I find is not really very worth it. Hope they will slowly improve everything and make it as good as Street Fighter 4

Something BIG happened in the English Football History. Leicester City won the league title ! This is pure unbelievable as they were struggling with relegation the previous season and this season, BAM ! They won the league ! With a squad value of around 30mil, they proved to the world that you dun need to have millionaires in the squad to win the league. Such an inspiration to all the other smaller clubs.

Ahhhhhhh, so lazy to write again, shall stop here. Coz I gonna go get a rest and wake up for the Wales Vs Belgium match later.

Wow, its been a month since the last update. I always wanted to update but the laziness inside me is preventing me from doing anything. I'm just getting so so so lazy nowadays that I dun even feel like doing anything.

Ok back to updating on the Japan trip during March.

The 2nd day of our trip we went to Kyoto because I did not went to Kyoto for the past 2 trips so this time I told my frenz that I wanna go Kyoto and look at the Fushimi Inari Shrine.

And yup, this is the famous Fushimi Inari Shrine. This place is just directly at the train station so its quite impossible for u to miss the place.

The shopping area around the Shrine which u can buy amulets and souveniors for yourself or for friends.

And here is the entrance to the LONG WAY UP !

The way up to the top is actually not that high but because the stairs are in like a circular motion so the people walking it will find it very long.

The way up was fun as starting we chitchat and joke around walking up because we are so full of energy ! After like maybe 30mins, the speed is slowing down and the chatting reduces because we are all getting so tired already.

There are like so many of these kind of gates all around which all of them has wordings on it.

We're lucky that the weather is considered cooling thats why its not so tiring but still we are starting to sweat when we are getting higher and higher.

After every like few hundred steps there will be a resting area that we can buy drinks and rest our legs for awhile.

But when you get higher, the price of the drinks also gets higher ! A bottle of green tea at the entrance cost around 140yen but when u reach the top, one bottle becomes 350yen because my fren told us that those people who delivers the drinks and the shopholders all have to climb up the stairs everyday !

And after like one hour, we finally reached the top ! Tiring but full of achievement !

Ok, I'm lazy to blog already, till the next time.

02-04-16 is such a happy day !

Because my darlings came to SG for a fanmeet !

Went over to Jurong Megabox to attend Apink's mini concert and fanmeet !

Cannot believe it's their 5th year already and I support them for the 4th year and went to all 3 of their fanmeet and concerts !

They sang all my favourite songs like " No No No " , " Luv " , " Remember " , " My My " , " Mr Chu "

ALL ARE MY FAVOURITE SONGS !

And of course a fanmeet must have games with the fans rite, too bad I'm not chosen.

And of course their fanclub, Apinktown, made a video for the girls which really touched them and made them cry.

And of course at the end, a korean selfie with everybody !

So So Happy ! ~ ! ~ ! ~ !

Back here again ! 2nd April 2016, watching Apink later ! ~ ! ~ !

As I said earlier, I went to Japan early March for a holiday and yes, its a happy trip.

This is one of the most important item when u go overseas, its a portable wifi. You know why izzit important ? Because with this, you can surf net, upload photos to ur SNS accounts and the most important is you can use ur google map for navigation.

When we arrived at Haneda, we quickly travelled to Shinagawa station so that we can take the Shinkansen to Osaka. And Osaka, here we come !

Yes, you can buy food and drinks up the Shinkansen as travelling to Osaka from Tokyo needs 3hrs and you are allowed to eat and drink on the trains in Japan.

And so I bought a bento for myself for the trip to Osaka. This bento on picture may look big but actually its not very filling to me but maybe because I'm quite a big eater thats why.

The Shinkansen is actually a very comfortable train as you have quite a big leg space and the aircon is just nice. Not too hot and not too cold. It's definitely more comfortable den taking a plane.

After that we reached Osaka and we went to find our fren, Junshen, as we're staying at his place for our 4 days in Osaka.

After we settled down, we decide to go and look for dinner as we didn't really had any decent and proper meal for the whole day. We only had the flight meal and the bento which I dun really consider a proper meal which is hot and satisfying. As its quite late already, we decide to look for Yoshinoya to have our dinner.

Never underestimate their Yoshinoya and their Gyudons. I tell you they are SUPER DELICIOUS ! Singapore's Yoshinoya is nothing compared to their ones, and this bowl is like around $7 only and it looks so so much better den the ones we have.

After that we decided to go back and have a good rest because it's tiring to travel and the next day we're gonna have a long day at Kyoto !

Shall update Kyoto for the next post !
