11.8.2010 Souvenir from Japan

You can get this in any international airports in Japan. Japanese pays attention to packaging their products and giving their customers their best. Look, the wrapper for the box of cake is attractive!

This is my second time getting it. The cake comes in the shape of chicks. They are too cute to be eaten!!! ^^

I wake at 4.30am feeling hungry, I make myself a hot cup of milk and try to get more sleep after that. Who says warm milk helps one to sleep?! I doesn't seem to work on me! I lay in bed for 3 hours before getting ready for work.

After resting for five hours, I am up and I couldn't sleep on. Hence, I go down for buffet breakfast.

At nine o'clock, I take a morning walk to the temple near the hotel.











The sign says the Shokufuji Temple is 200m away. Glad I manage to find it in five minutes. The heat is wavering my keenness.

Very shortly, I leave the temple as it's a disappoint, and I leave for Hakata station to shop. The heat deters me to find other nearby temple. By 12 noon, I am back to the hotel, feeling zombied-out!

I feel recharged after a six hour nap. After getting food, I am ready to do some last minute shopping.


Happy Hour at Pronto Cafe & Bar.


Deep fried burdock.


Sizzling black pork meat balls in hot pot. The meat balls are soooo soooo delicious. The onions at the bottom taste sweet. I love them all.


My grocery shopping.




Dinner an hour later, omu rice with hamburg steak. 1239 yen.







I got myself a travel bag, 2 sets of bedsheets, face powder and foundation.

8.8.2010

I am thrilled visiting Fukuoka this time as I have more time to do my favorite things at leisure pace.

To my horror, I wake at eight o'clock and I realize it's only a dream. This shows how anxious I am to get on with my activity here. Ha.

At four, I step out for Ten Jin to find lunch.


I enjoy this soya chicken with soba.


After filling my stomach, I am all set to start my shopping spree.


Shopping in Ten Jin.




I missed the Happy Hour special.


The wing has been cut up into two to make it bite-size. It's finger licking-good!! They are real tiny and it's the size of my finger.


My first time tasting cold spaghetti with tomatoes. I kinda like it.






Here's my shopping today.























My new ear piece which matches my phone. When I am shopping in Bic Camera, I am spoiled for choice as there's a wide selection of ear pieces! I also spend some time picking the color! Ha. This comes in brown, navy blue, black, orange, lime green, white, pink, purple and red. Look!! There are so many colors for you to suit your daily mood. I am deciding between purple and red and I am close to getting both.

I go to bed at six in the morning. I have the luxury to sleep as long as I wish today, as it's a non-working day. I like it when I don't have to set the alarm to wake me at a certain time. This is BLISS.

Lunch at Ippudo, with Maggie and Vivien.


After lunch, we head to Arteastiq for tea. This is Vivien's lavender earl grey tea.


I am walking to the bus stop to hop onto a bus which brings me to Clarke Quay.


Am 30 minutes early, so I rest along the riverside and take some photos of the river, before the sun sets.

I wake at 6.30pm in the evening and step out to hunt for food.

I am usually skeptical about Chinese food in Australia but I decided to give it a go this time, as I am kinda sick of the usual joints I go for meals.


In the past, I always give this eatery a pass.


A$9.50 Hokkein mee. The serving of ingredients is generous and it tastes surprisingly good.

My purchases in Taipei


$19.90 jacket.
The dark color has faded! :(


Grey jacket $12.40.


Navy blue pants $21.20.


Phone casing $43.50.

And I also bought a pair of cheap shoes ($8) in Tai Chung and a pair of denim berms ($17) in Taipei. But I didn't get a picture of them.

I am quite pleased for bringing home 6 items from the trip as I am trying to keep my spending to a minimum.
