Day 6: Tokyo Disneyland

DAY 06

Not much pictures were taken that day..
I was sick!!
BOO!!
I felt so weak and COLD!!
And the wind was blowing like mad!!

Was boarding the steam train at Westernland..

Look at my sick-ish face.. :(

Mickey Mouse Shaped Pizza..
The taste was normal.
I picked out most of the corns to feed the birds around!!

The magical Cinderella's Castle..

It's like a dream to see this castle.
I've always wanted to see it since I was a little girl..

Though I was sick, I did walked around and went on a few rides.
How often can I come here right?

Christmas Tree lit up..

Entrance to Tokyo Disneyland..


Overall, I think Disneyland was kinda boring..
I preferred USJ.
Hmmm.. Maybe I am too old for this theme park?
I did think one of the ride was stupid..
The It's A Small World boat ride..
I do think it's the most annoying ride EVER!!
The whole entire ride (about 10 minutes), you can hear the It's A Small World song repeated over and over again, and all you can see are those dolls dancing.. =__=

Oh well.. I did had fun..
If I have a chance to go to Japan again, this time for vacation, I would wanna go to Disneysea instead. :)

Oh man.. I miss being at Japan!!

No More Being TOO Nice

If I don't blog about this, I am not Dora Yeow.
So, when David Archuleta's The Other Side of Down album was out, AAM organized the album pre-order.
Knowing that I am a huge fan of David, I updated my status on Facebook stating that I pre-ordered the album from AAM.
That status sparked an interest from this boy that I met before during DA's showcase last 2 years, M.
M stayed in KL but he was working part time at Penang.
He is also a huge fan of DA and wanted to pre-order the album too.

Since he was busy working and do not have time to pre-order the album, he text and asked me to help him out.

Okay. I was being too naive and nice and decided to help him out.
I ordered one more album for him and even paid for it first.

When I got the album,I contacted him, asking when I can pass the album to him.
And he said he is still in Penang and when he come back to KL, he will let me know.

Days passed and he never did let me know when he is free.
After two weeks, I contacted him again.
He then told me that he was busy enrolling for college and will plan a meet up with me soon to get the album.

And so I waited. He never contacted me again.
So, I left a message on his Facebook wall.

Another excuse..
He seems to be busy, but whenever I am on Facebook, his status will be on my newsfeed stating that he will go here & there.
But I was patient enough to just wait.

Until I saw his status stating that he'll be working at KLCC posted last night.

Forgot? You were desperate to pre-order the album and you forgot??
After my last comment, he wrote on my wall asking who I am going to find him with.
Then I told him I will drop by and pass the album before my Japanese class in the morning.
Guess what?
He said he might not have to time to come out look for me cuz he is working.. :S

Seeing that post, I was furious and deleted it before I could think of print screen it.
He was still online, I buzzed him on Facebook.
I asked him if he still wants the album so that I can know what to do with it.
And he just went offline without replying!!
I had enough of his shits and I replied as below:-

Now he said he "really" want the album and wanted to meet up to get it.
I was lazy to hear his shits again and said I have given it away!

And he told his mum about this incident?
Well, he deleted what I replied after this comment.
But I said this to him..
"You are most welcome"..You mummy boy just go tell your mum.Blame yourself for your ignorance.I did my best to help you ok.I even paid for you first.But each time you are giving excuses to meet up to get the cd.I didn't do anything wrong.Besides, I own that cd anyways cuz I paid for it..So,go and whine about it..
He still thinks that he is right??
I replied as below to him (Oh yes, he deleted the comment again before I can print screen).
Look.If someone did what you did,I think you will be angry too.I did all I can to help.If you really want the cd,you won't "forget" about it..You NEVER make any effort..If I didn't ask you to meet up to get the cd you will just act like nothing had happened.Ask yourself,how many times have I reminded you about the cd?And how many times you say you can't meet up?If I don't ask, you WON'T ask..Think about it..Who's fault is this..And yes I AM blaming you,openly..
He then insincerely apologized!

I had enough.
I unfriend him on Facebook!
It's really a shame that David has this kinda fan.

What happened to the album you asked?
I donated it for AAM TOSOD Gifting.
And I feel more satisfied and happy.

I rather lose RM 50.00 so that the album can land onto some better hands than M!
Just take it as I used this money to buy a lesson, a lesson of never be too nice to help out people you are not close with, especially when the help involves with money!

New Year 2011 Resolutions

Wanted to blog about my last night at Japan but, my connection at home forbids me to do so.
I used up my 10gb quota and Digi has not reset my connection.
I am now surfing the net with the speed not over 128kbps!
Imagine uploading the photos, it will take a very long time.

I know it's a little late to blog about New Year Resolutions since it's already the 5th day of 2011, but I think it's better late than never? XD
Apparently, New Year Resolutions are supposed to be something personal, for you to keep for yourself, but I wanna make them public to make sure I will remember what I have set and try to achieve them!
To be frank, this will the first time for the first year I set resolutions.

So, here goes the Top 10 Resolutions..
  1. Learn to BELIEVE in myself.
  2. Learn to gain confidence in myself to decrease increase my low self esteem.
  3. Learn to think positive!!
  4. To decide what I really wanna be, what I really want in life.
  5. Get a driving license!!
  6. Get a better paid job which I WILL enjoy working.
  7. Save MORE money and LESS shopping!
  8. Excel in my Japanese language course.
  9. Learn to cook and eat healthy.
  10. To travel to Japan again end of this year!
Hopefully I can achieved something from the list of resolutions above by end of this year!!
Woot!!
New Year New Hope..
2011, please be good! :)

Lake Kawaguchi / Tokyo

Day 05

Got ready earlier this morning.

Went to walk around the garden at the hotel.
It was so cold and foggy that morning.
Despite the chill, I spent some time cam-whoring!


My eye bags.. =.="


The color of red autumn leaves were SCREAMING at me! So pretty!

Can you see the fog?

Off to TOKYO!

Beautiful ginkgo trees!!

View of Asakusa Temple from Nakamise Street



Can you spot the orange tree with oranges hanging on it??
It is a REAL orange tree!!
I have eaten a lot of oranges but never seen the tree before..
So it was really amusing for me!
LOL!

Spotted this cute little boy attempting to snap a photo of his parents..

My lunch!

After lunch, we proceeded to Ginza.
Nothing much there but just a street filled with high end brands.
So no photo.
Later in the evening, depart to Shinjuku for dinner.

Checked into Metropolitan Hotel earlier today and I managed to meet this mystery person.
This person brought me to Harajuku and we chilled at Starbucks! :D


Dreams do come true.. :)

Day 4: Nagoya / Mt. Fuji / Lake Kawaguchi

DAY 04


Started off today early as we will be departing to visit the symbol of Japan, Mt. Fuji.
It takes about 4 hours to Mt. Fuji by coach.
Along the way, we en-route for a short bullet train experience from Kakegawa Station to Shizuoka Station.

There are 3 types of bullet train in Japan, Nozomi, Hikari & Kodama.
The bullet train we were boarding was Kodama, the slowest among the 3 as it stops at every station.

Here we were at Shizuoka Station!
Hopped back into our coach and continued journey to Mt. Fuji.

We were lucky that day as we can viewed Mt. Fuji from far distance due to the clear weather!

We were getting nearer to the Queen!!

Amazing view of the mountain!

Before proceeding to the 5th Station, we stopped by for lunch at Lake Kawaguchi.


Part of my lunch..Freaking good!!

Off we go to the 5th Station!

Here we were!

The icy summit of Mt. Fuji.

The building here is where you can get some souvenirs and enjoy a cup of piping hot coffee at the cafe.

Really breathtaking panoramic view.


Frozen snow.

Off to Oshino Hakkai next.

Nothing much to here. But you can snapped nice shot of Mt. Fuji from here.

Called it a day and off to check in to the onsen resort, Fuji View Hotel.

Changed into yukata and proceeded to the dinner venue.

My dinner!!


After dinner, went back to the room and was contemplating if I should try the onsen.
Fyi, for onsen, which is PUBLIC, you need to be completely naked to dip into the hotspring!!
I was so freaking shy!
I don't feel like exposing myself in the public..
After an hour of deep thoughts, in the end I just plucked up the courage to go!

I went to the hotspring area nervously.
And guess what?
No one was there that time.
Basically the whole hotspring area was conquered by me!
Whee~~
No one saw me naked!! :D
I am glad that I tried the onsen..
Felt so freaking good dipping into the onsen..
