The Land of The Rising Sun part 2 - Tokyo

Made two separate posts just so it wouldn't be THAT long. Aish I have to finish this before midnight aka before next year aka before 2014. Here's the first part!

Day 5 - 15th Dec 2013
Ah it's so depressing to leave that warm place but sigh. Took pictures in front of our house.

(Budak2 Malaysia yang beria-ria buat sign peace apakah-)

We rode the car to the Kisarazu Community Center and talked. Wah Yuki wants to work in the airport someday and we told our dreams and ambitions. When we arrived, terus ambil sijil and Iman and I played around with Syifaq's foster sisters WHO ARE VERY SQUISHY. Syifaq was telling about how she met her 'destiny', the Tejime guy the day before at the mall she met. Turns out it's a place where the Kisarazu kids always go to. Took pictures again.

When everyone was there, we had to go to the bus station. Everyone else went by car while we walked there hahaha. Kinda sad when we waved goodbye to them from inside the bus.

Yuki's guide to the Japanese language-

Basically slept in the bus. Stopped somewhere we used the subway and went to Ikebubukuro and walked a long way to our hotel, Yaezakura-no-Yu Super Hotel Lohas Tokyo-eki Yaesu-chuoguchi (but we just called it Super Hotel). All those while carrying our very heavy luggage. We left our bags there and yeah, walked back to the subway station and took the subway to.. THE FAMOUS HARAJUKU! 

Wah sampai-sampai je can see already SOME people with .. different styles. NOW, LET ME GET SOMETHING CLEAR FIRST. DON'T BE TOO INFLUENCED BY TUMBLR. The number of people who do have unique styles there were less than I expected and.. well.. Harajuku is actually the name of a bridge there.. Uncle Zaba brought us to Yoyogi Park and he said that some time ago, the roads there were closed so that the youngsters can do whatever they want until morning, including lying on the road or whatever. This is the place for young people to relax. So he set a time when we should meet up again and yeah, we just walked around.

There were people playing musical instruments everywhere, dancing, and walking their dogs. Again, going to post the video of Yoyogi park here.

Yep. Right to the part where there are guys dancing to Elvis Presley and Grease Lightning hahaha. After that are videos taken in the Harajuku streets until before the the guy starts playing his guitar and sing.

We didn't have time to stop by any shops at all. H&M and Forever 21 don't come in stores, THEY COME IN FREAKING BUILDINGS OK.

H&M building.

Forever 21 building.

Guess who met Captain Jack Sparrow.

I wish I could live here to buy everything ermahgerd all the clothes are so so so pretty. Went on the subway again to (somewhere). It was already getting pretty dark. So uh we walked to Tokyo Tower and yes, we did went up. The view was amazing. There was even a look-down glass. As the windows were all foggy we traced nonsense with our fingers on it like 'EXO was here', 'GD Oppa saranghae' lol. There were also free performances by artists I don't.. recognize. SCROLL BACK UP AND WATCH THE VIDEO WHEN THE GUY PLAYS HIS GUITAR AND SINGS. Widad and I were lucky to be able to stand directly in front of him. His stage name is T.S.R.T.S. and his voice is wonderful. Makes me sad whenever I rewatch the video. Then this group called MARIA performed. They were all like 12-15 years old hahaha (they're in the video above too).

In the hotel, we get to choose 5 items from the assortment of.. things they have. I took a face mask, sunscreen, foot gel whatever, nail buffer and idk. Slept in the same room as Iman. Some of us went outside the hotel to walk to the Family Mart (like 7 Eleven) and bought Snickers.

Day 6 - 16th Dec 2013

Went on the (idk which ride it was that time) to Tokyo Disneyland! Well it was freezing there brr. All rides had pretty long lines so we only got to get on some. I have to say, the Haunted Mansion was the best! It wasn't really scary, it was kind of like a musical/play ride? Oh yeah this is in the video above too until the Disney Castle part.

Main masuk je gambar sekolah lain.

From left: Maryam, Eizka, Widad, Khalida, Azah Sensei, Cikgu Ain, Iman, me, Syifaq.

Dapat jumpa kedai jual halal turkey dan seafood pizza ok.

Me and ma crib.

That night we ate in Marhabaa, a Pakistan restaurant in front of our hotel. Dapat makan roti naan.

Day 7 - 17th Dec 2013

Here's where things get fuzzy in my head akibat dah lambat sangat baru nak blog. I think.. we rode the subway to.. somewhere. MY MEMORY SUCKS D: 

WHERE IS THIS PLACE.

I was walking with Widad and Eizka. Banyak kedai kebab halal hahaha. Went to a shop that sold clothes from the brand I was looking for (because a lot of K-Pop artists wear it). I asked the shopkeeper which was a black guy for a Boy London parka hanging on display. Talked to him and managed to buy the parka for 5000 yen when the original price was 12800 yen ohohoho. Met up with Iman and she's like, "Durrah!!! Durrah beli baju Boy London jugak?!" Turns out we bought the SAME thing but from different shops hahaha. She even bought two. Her shopkeeper which was also a black guy gave her a discount because she's a Muslim and to him, she's a 'sister'. 

Uh let's see where did we go next- Oh oh oh we went to Tokyo Skytree by shuttle bus. Everyone slept in the bus. Here's a funny story how I escaped from the police. Kan dah mengantuk, and then I went to the toilet. When I'm done, I was looking for the flush button but I couldn't find it at the usual spot. I searched for it and then I saw a red button on the left side so I pressed it. It suddenly lit up. I had the thought, did I just press the emergency button- and for some stupid reason I pressed it again. /facepalm. Then tiba2 ternampak OH THERE'S THE FLUSH BUTTON BESIDE IT! 

Knowing I did something wrong, I immediately went out and washed my hands while Iman and Widad just came in the toilet. On my way out, two policemen were were running in the toilet while shouting. I did my best pokerface while they passed me HAHAHHAHA. Later on, Iman and Widad told me, "Kitorang ingatkan kita dalam toilet lelaki tadi! Police tu bukak semua pintu!" When I told them the truth we all started laughing lulz. 

Magnificent Skytree.

Boleh pulak photoshoot camtu.

Went on the train(?) this time to Asakusa!

Waiting for our train tickets. Kami bukan hobo ya.

Asakusa is where I bought most of my souvenirs. In the video, it's after the Disney Castle part. Saw a lot of other Malaysians there coming for a holiday. Walked around with Syifaq and even went inside the Asakusa Temple.

I feel like I'm in Naruto.

Asakusa Don Quixote! (Always saw this store mentioned in Cheesie - one of my favorite bloggers- website).

That night we went to Akihabara aka The Largest Electronic Town In The World. I also saw the exact place where they filmed Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift ermahgerd. The large screens on buildings were basically showing animes and some unsuitable ones for kids hahahaha. 

That night, again, we ate at Marhabaa. We also packed for our flight the next day.

Day 8 - 18th Dec 2013

Brought out bags outside to weigh and luckily it didn't exceed the 20kg limit hehe. We left it at the hotel first as we took the subway to Shibuya, the famous shopping district. It was also the original and real place where the Hachiko story originated from. Some of the large screens were showing Korean videos (EVEN G-DRAGON'S ONE).

Hachiko's memorial statue.

At first I walked around with Syifaq and Maryam but then we went inside a Forever 21 building and they pergi shop till they drop there so I left them and walked alone in the streets of Shibuya. Plus my period cramps were killing me. 

They were showing T-ARA's Number 9 video in this large screen.

GIANT POSTER OF JUSTIN BIEBER.

I crossed the famous Shibuya crossing they always show in Japanese dramas, movies, mangas and animes lol. Plus this place was full of gyarus. Out of all the stores, one stood out. Shibuya 109. I went in hahahaha. It's an icon of the Shibuya district with more than one hundred boutiques on ten floors. TAPI BARANG-BARANG DIA GILA MAHAL KOT.

Was secretly hoping to bump into my favorite blogger here hahaha tapi tak dapat.

We went to eat after that and for the first time since we came here, it started raining. And we found out that the place we were before - Kisarazu - was already SNOWING. I MISSED IT. AHHHH. 

Highlight for K-Pop fans. Later on, we went to Shin-okubo aka Korean Town. CAN YOU IMAGINE A WHOLE STREET FILLED WITH K-POP STUFF? I was running along with my hood on because it was raining and Big Bang, G-Dragon and Taeyang's songs were playing EVERYWHERE. They also sold a lot of clothes (Boy London too) , caps and stuff K-Pop artists wear like wow. Even albums, autographed posters and magazines from Korea like High Cut and First Look. They're even selling their cosmetics everywhere like Etude House and Nature Republic and and and Glaceau Water.

LOOK AT THIS HUGE BIG BANG POSTER ON A BUILDING.

Gahhh pretty clothes!!!

EXO's poster with their signatures that Maryam bought.

ME AND MY HUSBAND FINALLY ADA GAMBAR TOGETHER AYY. The thing is the real GD was also in Tokyo lol.

High Cut magazine of EXO and First Look magazine of G-Dragon.

And then it was time for us to go back to our hotel and drag our luggage and bag to Haneda Airport. Bla bla bla in the airplane I sat between Iman and Syifaq. Our flight was at 11.50.

Day 9 - 19th Dec 2013

Reached LCCT Malaysia safely at 6.30 AM. You know what, because it was early in the morning we were like, "Oh mesti ada angin sikit, sejuk sikit ke." Keluar-keluar kapal terbang - nothing. ERMAHGERD WHERE IS THE WIND. 

Widad, Syifaq, me and Iman (both us wearing Anap shirts hahahaha).

3 hours later, I took my PMR results at school. But that shall have to wait for another post.
