I might be too lazy to blog and post pictures about all my misadventures in ShenZhen and Hong Kong 8D;; So I’ll be posting a blurry panda picture now and I think the adorable-ness of them big, clumsy, utterly UTTERLY CUTE animal will be sufficient for now \8D/ I R GENIUS

 
By the way, guess where was my first stop as soon as I left the airport last evening at 7p.m.?

Summit @ Subang Jaya for the THX cinematic glory 8DDDD ( thank you people so much for putting up with my selfishness and fangirly-ness 8D Though I’m sure you all wanted to rewatch The Dark Knight ANYWAY XDD )

BATMANNNNNNNNN <3 <3 <33 And The Joker was completely AWESOMELY FREAKY. ( Oh Heath Ledger T__T ) I'm SO going to watch this again. On iMax 8D Most definitely. And now for all the other movies I missed in the silver screen the two weeks I was away D: And not to mention rewatching The Dark Knight for as much as I cannnnn

Morning flight tomorrow with Emily and Moona. I will be in HK for five days ( it seems far too short once we get down and start planning WHERE to visit ORZ ) and Macau for one day before we head back here next Tuesday.

L’Arc~en~Ciel’s concert on Saturday. OMG YES. Asialive @ Seoul was … three years ago? O_O; How time flies eek And somehow it sadden me to realise that I’m still the same stupid fangirl I was But HYDE! KEN! TETSU! YUKKIE! Mou sugu aeru youni ~~ machikerezuni nerarenai yo ;3;

Sooooo ~ if I can’t get online when I’m in Hong Kong. SEE YOU NEXT WEEK 8D

… and one of the best 8D

Basically the past weekend was a whirlwind of chaos and tight schedule since Thursday. I was sleep deprived since then.

Thursday : Work > Late movie > Packing up for the weekend

Friday : Work > Client’s event to attend to > Got drunk

Saturday : Woke up VERY early for my usual standard > Caught a taxi > Took a bus > Took the cable car to Genting Highlands > Checked into hotel > Sent on a wild goose chase for the Box Office > Rushed to the outdoor theme park > Got scared by the rides, got drenched by the rides > Rushed back to the hotel because we were kinda late and forgo dinner.

WHY ALL THE RUSH ON A SATURDAY?

It leads to this very thing I’d been waiting for NEARLY A YEAR 8D!

Yes yes I was there with Rachel and Emily for the concert!

五月天/Mayday’s JUMP! tour final leg in Malaysia ( 離開地球表面JUMP巡回演唱會)! The band tortured the local fans enough already with the massive delay of holding the concert here ;3; WHRYYYYYYY? And their new tour is starting already in Singapore next weekend! Evil EVIL 五月天 T___T But nevermind that. They are AWESOME as usual ♥

I’d written a OMG-verbal-diarrhea! account of the concert itself over here ( Please be warned, it’s uber long winded and with much tl;dr-ness *coughs* ) So proceed with caution XD But if it’s any console, there are several pictures from the concert taken ninja-style by Emily.

Currently I’m nursing horrible muscle cramps mainly on my legs ( from JUMP!ing waaaaaaaay too much being my fangirly self ) and various part of my unfit body. But was it worth all the pain for that three amazing hour of the concert? Hell, I’ll go through it all over again with this broken body 8D

MAYDAY ILU ♥ ♥ ♥

ETA : Oh yeah I forgot ..

Sunday : Was enjoying the last bit of Genting’s-not-so-cold air before heading back down to PJ around late afternoon. Ended up at Sunway Pyramid at night for the FREEZE! For World Earth Day. Why do I like to torture myself hrnhh?

I had a BLAST the previous weekend! I mean, I knew it’ll be massive exhaustion with the stuff I had to do lined up.. but it was worth every single moment of it <3

SATURDAY 01.03.08
I’d to miss the first day of GACC today. When I promised Rachel that I’ll go with her to see Mayday’s Fan Meet session; I did not realise that both the dates clashed ;3; Spent a good whole day wondering which events should I attend. Ended up deciding to go for broke and attend both XD

Emily came over to pick me up before heading to Rach’s place to have a quick lunch and many detours before driving off to KL’s Sg. Wang ) Loitered about the area window shopping until it was nearly 6:30p.m. before we headed to the area where the fan meet was to be held. Much to my dissapointment, there will be no performance by the band that day since it was just a ‘Fans Meet’ session ;3; Oh well, I’d got their ticket for the concert in April anyway :3

I think we stood there for a good full hour before the event started off. Luckily for someone as vertically challenged as me; we managed to get a rather good spot right in front X3

HEART OF ROCK @ NIPPON BUDOHKAN

Ahhhh D-DAY. And the very reason I’m in Japan to begin with. Since we were planning on nothing else but to haunt Budohkan the entire day ( concert starts at 5p.m. ) I decided that we can have the slack to sleep a bit more to recover from the crazy tiredness since the day we started traveling.

Waking up around 10a.m. ( for once! I don’t feel half as groggy waking up ) we took the usual simple bread and hot drink breakfast at Smile Khaosan Hostel before setting out. Almost forgetting the mounting board banner that we stowed under the bed, we set out with nervous strides crossing the all too familiar Sumida River heading towards the train station. Feeling a little light headed all I can think of was “We’re REALLY going to see Siam Shade! LIVE!”

Something funny happened when we were waiting at the traffic light heading towards the train station though 8D An old Japanese man smiled at us are asked what were we holding while we were all waiting for the green light because the wind flipped the board every now and then revealing bits of the wittings INSIDE the folded board. He asked whether were we doing calligraphy and very much embarrassed ( because the simple message inside that stated “マレーシアから!” [from Malaysia!] was penned by yours truly *coughs* ) The old man was surprised and smiled and said to us “Ganbatte ne~” just as the lights turned green and we headed our separate way XD;

We reached Kitamura Park station at 12 o’clock in the afternoon. Still nervous, my heart did several flips as soon as we alighted and saw people carrying cardboard/signs asking if anyone has extra tickets for sale! My heart goes out for those fans who came goodness knew what time and stood there holding the signs. I’m really really lucky that Sam and I got the tickets during the pre-sale. Thanks to the ever wonderful Akiko ( and her Mum! ) again! ♥

View before Budohkan’s entrance. A lot of senior citizens were painting by the river here.

I had been emo-ing about my stolen Playstation2 ( house got broken into. AGAIN ) since two months ago lamenting over my lost console ( old, but so much good and frustrating memories ;3; ) and above all, my lost youth *coughs* Memory Cards ( ALLLL MY GAWDDAMNED DATA!!! THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF PRECIOUS GAMING HOURS!!! *headdesk* )

AHEM.

Anyway, yeah. There’ll be many instances over the month when I’ll be happily talking about games with friends here and there and suddenly the black cloud of gloom will start to rain when I remembered ..

“I don’t have my PS2 anymore… ||| ORZ”

TSUKIJI FISH MARKET > TOKYO TOWER > AKIHABARA > ODAIBA

Once more I failed to wake up properly before 4a.m. ( which I’m supposed to ) for the early morning rush at Tsukiji Fish Market. I’m terribly sorry that Sam have to deal with a grumpy and narcoleptic me every morning before it hits lunchtime ( my solar alignment tends to settle down somewhat then ).

Anyway, once more we hit Asakusa Station for Tsukiji Fish Market. I probably will not manage anywhere on my own without Sam because she was the one that made notes prior of which station goes where and what lines goes where next XD; The so-called planning on my side are purely selfish because all I can think of before starting this trip was “I wanna go there! I wanna see that! I MUST get my ass to this place!” without actually studying the routes to do so XD;

TSUKIJI FISH MARKET [ 築地市場 ]

To tell the truth, all the books and guides I ran through just told me that Tsukiji market is extremely near the station’s exit. But we REALLY didn’t have the slightest idea of WHERE exactly it is XD We made our way through an ACTUAL wet market ( filled with vegetables and what not ) weaving in and out following other gaijin tourists we see ( especially the ones with cameras in their hands! They HAD to be tourists, no? Yay us for being totally clueless XDD ) We thought reaching the marketplace as late as 7a.m. then will have the entire marketplace dissapeared ( like the Floating Market in London Underground a.k.a. Neverwhere? XD ) but thankfully we were not ones to be detered so easily. We’d already got a whiff of the smelly fishy smell as soon as we hit the station .. so following our nose, we managed to make our way to the ACTUAL fish market! 8D

Once again; a hell lot of pictures under the cut 8D And a bunch of too long text-diarrhea too considering this was the day we visited the most places out of the few days we were in Tokyo. (more…)
