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. =)
