[Tokyo] Shibuya & Ikebukuro

Posted on by Jamie Liew

THIS, shall be a post dedicated to girls. and in between, two pictures dedicated to my male readers.

both Shibuya and Ikebukuro are very famous spots for shopping (and Harajuku too, but it’s like our err, Petaling Street?) and if you want to see pretty girls? you can find tonnes here.

they wear mini skirts and shorts on such a cold weather which reminds me of the chinese saying “oi leng ng oi meng” which literally means “want beauty don’t want life” haha.

one of the famous Shibuya crossing. I read in the book it’s nice to stand aside and look at how many people there is o.0.. Continue reading “[Tokyo] Shibuya & Ikebukuro” →

[Tokyo: Meiji Jingu] Meiji Jingumae

Posted on by Jamie Liew

Konbanwa! long time no see blog. I had been working U_U. but NOW when my coll started, I am more free. why? because there’s only twoooo classes per week! and hopefully the time table wouldn’t change, so both the subjects fall on the same day = one coll day per week! YIPEE!

it was so HOT when we arrived in Tokyo. it’s always like that, whenever we land we wear thick clothes and when we get out, it’s so hot we’re literally sweating in winter. SO, the next day, I wore my mom’s thin sweater. but then it rained and I was almost froze to death. thank goodness we brought extra clothes. Continue reading “[Tokyo: Meiji Jingu] Meiji Jingumae” →

[Tokyo] Reaching Haneda Airport at Night.

Posted on by Jamie Liew

Hi. I am really thankful that I am back from Japan. first, it was the earthquake, then, the nuclear plant leaks.

my friends who’s still in Japan, I really hope they could make it home safe as soon as possible. I was one step late in knowing about my coll’s student exchange program to Tokyo and I thought I was unlucky. but now, I think the otherwise. my friends who are now there for the program had to cut short the program and come back a week earlier. and even so, much fear have been gained from their trip. now, the nuclear leaks, I wonder if it’s even safe to be outdoors even for a while.

people of all races and beliefs, please pray for Japan. it was such a peaceful and beautiful country, especially when the sakura season is so near. the homeless must be cold. let’s pray for those who are stranded to be found, that Japan will regain their strength.

back from Tokyo!

Posted on by Jamie Liew

oh gosh, I hadn’t been blogging for so long. but I am not dead. it is just that I have been working and preparing for my Tokyo trip. I was lucky enough to grab those really cheap tickets to Tokyo via AirAsia. I am always very thankful that there’s AirAsia because without it I don’t think I will ever dream of going to the most expensive city in the world. this is probably the longest flight I’ve been on. even though I tried sleeping on the plane, each time I doze off I knock myself on the wall and I’d wake up. causing myself to rest for two continuous days after I came back. and actually, I am still dog tired right now.

in this trip, I took a total of around 3k pictures. it was lesser compared to my Korea trip as it was raining throughout 50% of my trip. when it rains, taking pictures become very very tough.

for this post, I’d like to introduce you andriod or iphone users PUDDING CAMERA. just search for it on the market or google their website. it’s a korean application and is currently free for all! BANZAI TO THE CREATOR!

* all pictures in this post are taken through pudding camera with my htc desire hd.

[Korea] Noryangjin Fish Market

Posted on by Jamie Liew

it was a beautiful autumn day and the skies were so blue.

IMG_2055

the proof. so early in the morning at about 9am, we took the train to Noryangjin 노량진 station. we wanted to visit this place like about 7 in the morning and later on go to the 63 building. but the thing is, don’t try to be superman because you’d really need some sleep after walking so much everyday. I’ve done some research before and I happen to think I’d prefer looking at fishes rather than going up 63 floors for a nice view. Continue reading “[Korea] Noryangjin Fish Market” →

Painin Fever.

Posted on by Jamie Liew

painin is where you visit somebody’s home on the Chinese New Year period to gamble, chit chat and get angpows *if you’re single that is. I especially love this season — even if I don’t gamble and had to play angry birds at the corner of the house. okay, it’s not that bad, I actually love the fact that many people gather together after such a long time and actually have fun together. sometimes, it isn’t the angpow that matters, it’s how friends and family who had not meet for such a long time actually making an effort to gather together.

some busy people might think, ah.. it’s so troublesome, it is JUST another week anyway. but what’s different? you’d have to experience it to understand ba.

I just felt, everyone should at least get together on CNY. especially close friends and families. =).

barely even all the females on my mother’s side. we would need two school bus if we were to ever travel on a field trip together! Continue reading “Painin Fever.” →

the Yuna Inspired Press Conference

Posted on by Jamie Liew

Hello dear readers, I bet most of you know who Yuna is (she have over 600k fans on facebook!!). but of course, there’s a number who still don’t. but it is alright, you can start knowing her today. before losing hope on Malaysia’s entertainment industry, you’d definitely change your opinion. you must listen to Yuna’s songs.
