The day to leave in Japan finally came… It was sad to say good bye to my family, because I was with them almost for two months, hehehe.

I finally got some advantage from Finnair, because I have a lot of miles,hehehe.  First time, they did not complain about my luggage.

When I arrived in Finland, my luggage came first!  Andreas was there on time, hihihi. It was good to see him again Now, I have to be ready for my last semester!

Today, I met with my cousin, Noriko. She is one of the youngest cousin in my families.

Lately, she goes to art school in Shibuya where is close to my home. We decided to meet after she finished her class Last time, I met her was last December, hehehe.

We had a lunch first at pasta restaurant we stayed there almost for two hours My sister also came with me. Yeah, we just talked and laughed so much, hahaha. It was very fun time for us

Then, we took her to visit to our home. My mother was also happy to see her, because they did not see each other for a long time

myself, my mother, and cousin Noriko

“thank you for meeting with us! It was really fun”

The last day was quite busy.

First, we took a bus to go back to Singapore from KL in Malaysia. Since it was on Sunday, the immigration was a bit crowded…Everybody wanted to go first so cutting the ques and so on, hehehe. It was okay, because we did not have any problems

ready to get back

It was very comfortable

This bridge was border between Malaysia and Singapore

Then, we went back to our hotel, “PanPacific”. They kept our suits case. I just realized that ” Oh~~. Five Star hotels are different. So nice to have a good service abroad” I usually stayed at Hostels or low class of hotel, hihihi. People were so nice at that hotel. I loved it!!

We were supposed to meet with our friends at the airport around 6pm. We had a last dinner at Thai restaurant together. It was very nice and I will of course miss them and foods

Now, I am thinking about that if it is possible, I would like to do some internship ‘n Singapore! I hope I could go there again =)

Both guys wore the pastel color of T-shirt. Kawaii ne !

@ the airport. Honto ni Arigatou

We took a different bus tour, because I wanted to visit Batu Cave.

The tour was included with the same places which we already visited with the previous tour unfortunately. But it was alright.

we got so addicted with a coconuts juice, hehehehe. Everyday, we had a couple of these

This time, our tour was in the afternoon so we went to shopping mall to see something interesting. The prices were so good, hihihi. During this trip I bought several pairs of shoes. I like the shoes in Asia I couldn’t stop buying shoes, hehehe.

We both got the cute shoes in Malaysia.

Let’s start the tour in Malaysia!

They took us to the chocolate factory. I saw the Durian chocolate and tasted it. It was a funny taste.

do you like to taste the Durian chocolate?

Then, next stop was some history museum.

at the museum

Then, we visited to Matu Cave. When I saw the temple, I could only see the statue and a lot of steps To see the temple, we had to go up, hehehehe. It was a bit scared…

interesting sight

After we finished the tour, we went to see the movie, the Second Narnia! The place was called Berjaya Time Square and had the amusement park inside. That was so cool!

we took only an indoor roller coaster ride, hehehe. It was so fun, huu huu~~!

our dinner was Thai foods, it was yummy =) food memories

We took a short trip to Kualampur in Malaysia by bus. It took us to get there around 5 hours included with the immigration time.

This bus was much comfortable than Finnair, hihihi

First day, I was so tired ,so I just saw some shops in the mall. Then I took a rest in the hotel. Andreas went out by himself and had dinner

Shopping mall in Malaysia. The prices are one third of the Japanese price. The quality was okay, so very good deals!!!! I bought a couple of shoes and clothes

Second day, we took a bus tour.

Then, around 3m it was time to meet our friends. The meeting place was the entrance of hotel.

We met each other in Finland I was very happy to see them again in Singapore

normal and funny version

Andreas, myself, Hope(MeiQing), Yvonne, and Daryl

First, they took us to eat “Durian ” I was so curious about this fruit. Everyone was saying it smells like hell And the shape is so funny…We MUST try to taste this fruit, right

I was a little bit afraid of the smell and eating this…BUT it was actually okay taste. I didn’t like it,hihihi. Also, my friends gave us other funny fruits which I have never tasted in my life.

Durian market

Eating Durian, and Durian….

After we tasted many pieces of Durian, we walked around that area. There were many little shops and we tasted small snacks at each shop. Everything they chose was yummy, hahaha No wonder why they like to eat foods in Singapore

You can’t bring Durian to the train!!! There is fine for that

We ate quite much, but it was time to go shopping yay yay~~ They took us to the fashion mall where we didn’t go. Shopping is always fun for girls!

It was funny that we all bought the same sandalsgood memory

We were still full with our stomach, but it was time to have a dinner! The place they took was quite nice. It was outdoor and so many shops were gathering. And, more friends came to have dinner with us. It was very suprising We actuallly met in Finland as well. It was very very nice. Thank you for organizing such a nice dinner and time!! We were really appreciated with our friends!

all foods were very nice. They just cooked after we ordered it.

thank you, everyone!!

Actually, some foods were spicy for me, hihihi. We ordered fresh sugar cane juice, so it was helpful=)

It was amazing that we ate all of these dishes, hahaha. Even they ate so much, they were not fat at all I was sure to get some weighs, hihihihi

The main action was to take a bus tour! There were a couple of options for bus tour, but we did “Hip-on Hip-off tour“ 

To do this mission completely, we woke up early this day. First thing was always to search some breakfast, hihihi. The breakfast was Chinese dish this time. 

  our breakfast on May 13t

Let’s start tour now  

Here is a map we took: There were two route, City and Heritage Route.

 If you want to see the whole map, please click this

  Hello~~

We took first “City Route”, yay. It was around 9am, but it was already hot, hihihi. But our seats were very very front seat, hahaha. We could go to the shade…Andreas wanted to set there  There were many cool buildings We were just sitting to see the view for the first one, and switch to another root.

*****
By the way, the guide was so funny She was explaining with making a joke, hahaha. She spoke quite much, but we never got bored with her. We met same lady after several hours, that time she spoke less. I think if you want to listen to the explanation, you should try to take a tour in early morning. If you don’t care, just take whenever you are ready. That is just my opinion. I think it is nice to hear the explanation, then you can make some memories in Singapore
***** 

We got our around the china town to have lunch. Also we walked through Bugis street and Orchard street!

    ar china town! We love to drink a coconuts juice. It was cheap and tasty, yay!!

At Bugis street, there were many local people and so many markets! It was for us quite difficult to walk on this street. Too many street, hahaha.

At Orchard street, there were many many shopping malls! If you love to go shopping, it is very good place to find something good for you And I tried to get hair cut. But…It took two hours and half.

We missed itit was already paid, sorry….Anyway, next day we met our friends, so I was ready to meet them with better hair cut hihihihi.
