BACK TO JAPAN.

Alright guys, seems like i haven't been keeping my promises lately. Am sooo sorry again! Well, i'm back with more for "now". Haha. My holidays will now be officially ending in a few minutes time. Life is good currently. Just got my car to bring me around few days ago, gotta thank my parents for this really! Was kinda shocked actually. No worries mommy and daddy, i'll be studying real hard this time. Hopefully i'll be able to pass my 1st year with flying colours! Haha. Sounds impossible, but i'll try. ;)


Can you spot the Fuji? Haha.

Anywaysss, back to my long time abandoned post on Japaann. Darn it, i'm missing Japan. Haha. Alright, sooo we were on the way to Mount Fuji. Next stop on the way there, we dropped by at Lake Kawaguchiko. One of the famous 5 lakes which surrounds the world famous Mount Fuji. Nice view but lunch do not really came up to our expectation. Or probably we're just not used to the japanese food.


Lake Kawaguchiko.


Some artistic shot i planned to do, but failed miserably. Hahaa. Nice old fashioned cam though.


View of the famous lake.


Another view. Don't you just like the snow?


Had lunch at this restaurant facing the lake, great view i'd say. Haha.


Forcefully smiled with my pathetic set of lunch. XD

Everyone was hoping it to snow on that day, but the tour guide insisted that snowing is a bad sign for tour groups as most of the expressways will be closed due to slipery roads and thus affecting the whole agenda. Stilll, as a jakun from Malaysia who has not seen snowing since birth, it's his dream to at least see it once in his life. It's me the jakun by the way. An guess whatt? Right after the lunch when we stepped out the restaurant, the sky started to turn cloudy andddd, foam-like pieces of whitish stuffs started to fell down from the sky! Darn it, i know i am lucky cos it's snowing! I shall now proudly say that this is one of the moment i wouldn't forget for the rest of my life. The experience of looking upon the snow dropping down onto your shoulder is seriously priceless.


Hey look, it's snowing!


The negative consequences of snowing. =(

Proceed our next destination after lunch, to the Fujiten Ski Resort. It took us up to 2 hours to reach that place compared with the normal 45 minutes. As i've said previously, the consequences of snowing. Hahaaa. It's worth it though.


Snow resort, cool.


Wanna go skiing?

Did not really tried out skiing on that day cos it was really crowded and the snow was really heavy. Pluss i do not even know how to stand on my own feet after falling down. Sad case man. Anyways, it was a good experience even to see people skiing around you. Hahaa.


Snowboard.

Managed to captured a few shots of the Japanese kids when i was wandering around the area. Kinda like their cute expression. Do i sound lifeless, to take pictures instead of skiing in the snow resort? Hahaaa.


Cute little kiddie couple. They seriously kissed in front of both deir parents. I was shocked. O.o


Don't you just feeling squeezing her? Haha.

We started our journey back to hotel for dinner at around 6 later on. Another unique experience as well. Find it out on my next post alright guys? Till thenn, have a nice day. And best of luck for my studies again. T.T Life sucks. Hahaa. Ciowz.

YOKOSO JAPAN - PT 2

Notice : Picture sizes from current (starting this post) and upcoming post will be slightly rescaled down to 600x400 from the previous 640x624 pixel. Reason is partly due my hostel's slow internet speed and upon receiving many complaints from readers saying that the pictures takes too long to get uploaded. Hopefully this will help a bit. =)


NRT Terminal 2 arrival hall. Look at the crowds!

Moving on from the precious Japan post, our flight departed at 11am sharp Malaysian time. FYI whole journey from KUL to Narita, Japan takes around 7 hours. Our plane landed safely at the Narita International Airport Terminal 2 at 5.30pm Japanese time (1 hour ahead of Malaysian time). Well, the flight wasn't really that enjoyable. Imagine sitting on de same place for a freaking 7 hours while watching lame movies like SumoLah! Sigh. Anyways, the feeling when u first seen the city of Japan from the plane before u land on their airport was fantastic. I mean like, it's so much more organized and lively compared to cities in Malaysia at night. Haha.


On our way to the bus. Temperature was 6 degree celcius.

Can't comment much on that since Japan is already a developed country while Malaysia is still "developing". Haha. Alright, back to the airport was seriously crowded. It seems that for every single minute, there will be either a flight departure or arrival. Narita has been rated as one of the busiest airport in the world. Probably this is the reason why we've gotta queue up sooo long just to go through the immigration.


Narita Excel Tokyu Hotel.

After passing through all the photoshoots and fingers reading (Japan is super strict in terms of immigration), we met up with our tour guide of the trip and proceed to Excel Tokyu Hotel for check in. Simple hotel for us to spend our first night on the land of the rising sun. Weather was pretty cold at only 5 degree celsius.




Admire the Japanese's honesty. Spotted this in a garden.

Woke up at 6 in the morning next day, had breakfast and there we go. Started our journey to our first ever destination in Japan, the Hakone-Izu National Park, where the famous Mt Fuji lies. Journey from Narita to Hakone takes another 2 hours and along the highway, i pretty managed to capture down few sights that never failed to make me go "woahhh!".


Goodbye Narita.


Cool bikerider. My first ever panning shot.


Tomei Expressway toll.

On the way, the bus stopped by at the rest area before proceeding to the Mt Fuji area.


Rest area.


They've got deep fried food vending machine! Cool.


Haagen Dazz spotted.


The weather out there is freaking cold, probably cause we're already reaching the destination.


Random shot. A petrol station at the rest area.


Welcome to the home of Mount Fuji. Almost there. =)

Guess that's all for this update. More to come up soon, so stay tuned. Gotta get back and rush on my studies again. Sigh. In the meantime, happy Good Friday folks! Enjoy. =)

TRAPPED IN AIMST.

I'm backkkk, well at least for a while. =) Darn, i can't even believe the fact that i've abandoned my blog for the past 3 weeeks! Never in my history i haven't got any time to update for this long. Am soooo sorryy guys! Really. Well, i'll be temporary holding on to the Japan post and talk abit about my life over here. At least to update some of my friends back at home or those who're studying abroad.


Overlooking the scene from my room.

Lifeeee, is realllly hectic now. Have been busy with lectures, studies and some events over here. FYI i've just completed my task for being the emcees for the AIMST CNY Cultural Night not too long ago, and currently am busy-ing completing stuffs for the upcoming AIMST Vice Chancellor's Public Speaking Challenge Trophy organized by my entire batch, Batch 13. So guys, if you're from AIMST University, do drop by at our newly launched official blogsite and leave at least a word or two: http://www.aimstvccup.blogspot.com/ . Glad to have all your supports here.


The feeling of being trapped here at AIMST seriously suck. Hopefully i'll get a car here sooonnn. Sigh.

As for my studiess, one word says it all. KILLING. I'm serious about it, Biochemistry especially. The lecturers are good, it's just that there are too much to cover in such short period of time. Personally, i think metabolism is the killer for now. Well, i kind of admire Dr Ong for being able to finished his phD in Biochemistry! Tsk tsk tsk, i can't even manage one small part of it for now. Sigh.


The killer.


Study study study.


Histology is pretty interesting. A picture of the epithelial tissues. Lookin great eih?



Now i know, why people say medicine kills. And oh, my 1st CA(Continuous Accessment) is coming in less than 3 weeks time. Gotta buck up on my studies again. >.< Sigh. As for my blog updates, it'll be latest by end of this week i promise. Back to Japan! Keep visiting from time to time and have fun out there yo! Good day. =)

BUSYYYYYYY | YOKOSO JAPAN! - PT 1

Andd finnnaaaalllly, Shaun is back to the blogosphere after being lost to nowhere for 2 weeks! Man, it's not that i don't want to, was really really busy after i got back from Japan a week ago and am currently back at uni. Life has been kind of hectic since then, busy with my daily routine of studying and memorizing facts. Trust me, it kills. However, the course is pretty interesting till now, at least i haven't been falling asleep in class! That should be something amazing, right? Haha. (P/S: Take medic la, take medic! :P)

---

Okayyy, back to my Japan trip, it was truly a great one. Having to experience snowing for the first time in my life, walking in the streets full of Japanese chiqas, load myself with unlimited supply of King Crabs and Sashimis etc. I must say that Japan is a place that totally rocked my off. Osaka or Hokkaido will be my next destination if i have the ability to fund the trip myself! As usual, can't describe much with words, will let all the pictures do the talking. Nope, we're not going to Japan YET, not today. We're on the way! Hehe. Enjoy. =))



KLIA! My first stop to Japann. I can tell you that the feeling before boarding a flight to The Land of Rising Sun is like you're about to get an orgasm real soon. Darn it, haha. Japan really did not dissapoint me.



No money to book myself a Business Class, hence the usual Economy Class. T.T Wonder when do i get the chance of flying on a First/Business Class.



Check in counter. Met up with our tour leader, checked in, proceed to the immigration check ine counter, board the aerotrain to get our arses to the other site of the airport for International boarding and there we go, a step nearer to Tokyo!



Passport Malaysia, i wonder why red? Any significance? O.o



After going through all de custom check and everything, at lastt, i got my first glance of the plane that will be flying me across the ocean to Japan! I always thought that Malaysian Airlines a good choice for any form of flights. They've got a 5-Star cabin staffs rating guyss! Support the local!



That's me before boarding. How could this post be complete without my personal picture eh? Hahaa. It's my blog wert. Anyhow, looked kind of fat in this pic. But who cares laaa, we're going to Japaannn! XD



It's boarding timeeee, can't wait can't wait. We're now 7 hours away!



The planee with the internal flight entertainment system. Nothing muchh, i'd rather them to have a bed than this. Haha. Any MAS staffs will be reading this?



I only remembered that the captain pilot for my flight's an indian. There we go, up up and awayyy! Stay tuned for the next update! Moree of Japan coming up soon. Not really sure will it be soon but definitely i'll try my best to, if i've had the time, i surely will. Till then guys, have fun! And hopefully to me, i'll have the neurons in the brain kept on growing so that i could fit more stuffs into it. Byeeeeee!
