My long awaited dream trip to Tokyo...
Yay! One more week later and I'll be dragging my luggage to the airport and getting all set to board the JAL plane to Tokyo..
Much as this week has been a dreaded week with the endless OTs and uncalled stress levels, I'm still very much looking forward to my first ever OMD incentive trip. It'll be a short 5D3N trip, because in order to save my annual leave for Sweden, I'M NOT EXTENDING MY TOKYO STAY with the rest. Boo hoo. Bo Bianz, if I had 30 days of annual leave instead of 15, I will definitely extend lor. But, I must be contented with what I have and not ask for more than what I'm already blessed with.
Oh did you know I got an A for my Beginner's Jap? Wahaha. I was a fanatic for the Jap language back then, and I guess I still am now. Just dat I have given back all the learnings of Hiragana, Katakana and Kanji to my teacher (see I can't even rem her name, much less remember the jap alphabets!!~). But I still love reading my textbook once in awhile (oh yes when the moon is reallie blue ;p) and reading books on Japan esp those that teach you useful phrases. Funz!~ I noe I bought those Japanese for Beginners CD-rom that caused me near 100 bucks too. Hmmm. Now where is it when I need it most...
Oh yeah I just learnt these new words in my super limited Nihongo vocab. You should remember it too!~ Hehe.
Expensive - Takai
Cheap - Yasui
HELP - Tasukete
My favourite line would still be Wakarimasen (I don't understand sia) and Sumimasen (Excuse me/sorry is the safest thing to say).
Wonder if Japan will be how I imagine it to be. Below is my illustration of what I think I wanna see. Beautiful scenery, cutesy toys, kawaii girls, magnificent temples, tempting shopping streets. Wahaha. Of cos, the sakura that I crave to see will not come true. Boo. Next time I promise I will go back when they are in full bloom season! Woho. Para Para Sakura!!~
Shall post up more pics when I come back. Keke. I will take TONNES of pictures. =) Anyone wans any specific souvenirs/gifts from there drop me a msg worr.. I'll try my best to get for you.. Sayooooooonara!!
