alive & kicking

it’s been like 2 days and i think i’m still jet-lagged.

Firstly, it was the night flight from SIN to NRT.

Then, the super duper tiring 13hr flight from NRT to JFK.

I still ask myself HOW DID I SURVIVED ALL THAT?

All in all, although i did not exactly performed perfectly for all flights, am glad that i met nice seniors who are willing to teach and are really kind and caring

Now, all i pray for is a smooth and successful future ahead of me!

- – - – -

Upon our arrival at NRT, Joey and I headed for the BED right away and only wake up 8hours later for dinner at AEON.

Lucky thing was that SOUP SPAGHETTI restaurant was having half price!

MINE

JOEY’S

Didn’t really shopped at AEON, got the necessities we needed and headed back to MARROAD for sleep and some studying for our flight to JFK.

- – - – -

ARRIVAL at NEW YORK!

Glad to say although the hotel was abit out of bounds, Marriott Long Island was certainly far better than MARROAD.

haha!

Look at those full and fluffy pillows!

The view outside my room:

The leaves on the trees turning orange

After about 10hrs of sleeping, we decided to head out to MANHATTAN!

Our senior Kai Ling was extremely nice to offer to bring us around

in Joey’s room

LAST WEEK. :D

gosh i can’t believe this is my LAST WEEKEND in JAPAN.

i still remember tearing non-stop at the airport just last month, 30th Oct.

Somehow i have a hinge that history would repeat itself the coming 15th Nov.

There are so much memories here in Tokyo Narita.

Really enjoyed myself with the group of girls from SIN 2.

Although we did had lil’ arguments and quarrels here and there, i believe it really moulded us into better people

No matter what, i believe the memories of our 6 weeks in JAPAN will forever stay in my heart.

I’m praying hard that all of us will have smooth sailing flights from now on, especially for OJT.

Ganbarimasho!

- – - – -

Had Japanese Tea Ceremony lesson few days back.

Other than the kneeling, it was really interesting and enjoyable.

How i wish i could be as graceful and sophisticated as the instructor present.

 After a short demonstration by the instructor, Jessica and I attempted to make some delicious matcha for Diane and Kim.

I could tell Diane wasn’t really keen on the one Jess prepared. teehee

judging from Kim’s expression, i think the one i prepared wasn’t that bad after all!

mochi to go with matcha

our turn.

delicious matcha

“yummy!”

see you in SINGAPORE!

can’t wait to have chili crab, hokkien mee, hao jian, pig organ soup, bbq chix wings, etc etc

hehe

tata!

most probably the last post before i arrive SINGAPORE :D

hello people.

although i have lots of upcoming tests and stimulations in the mock up plane after this fateful weekend, i simply can’t stop myself from smiling secretly as i type this. I see my FAMILY,my boyfriend, friends and the lovely SINGAPORE food awaiting my arrival with arms wide apart.

anyway i haven’t been visiting town for these two weeks as i’ve decided to save the transport expense (approx. sgd30 per trip by train) for shopping at AEON. Just to sidetrack abit, i realised that there are actually dozens of stores that we have yet to visit for the past few weeks. I saw one huge store that sells cheap perfume, cosmetics like etussais, etc, saw the Tommy Hilfiger store, Pinky and Diane store and many more. I guess all those would have to wait for my next trip…

Anyway, we visited the airport for some shopping last weekend. We found a section of TAKASHIMAYA and went crazy just buying pouches and hankerchiefs. An example would be these:

Private Label pouches-wrapped in TAKA’s giftwrap

Burberry’s handkerchiefs again. *sheepishly*

The rain didn’t stop for the whole of SATURDAY and SUNDAY last week.

It was freezing, especially when i didn’t had my stockings on.

Finally, some real hot food:

Katsu-don (930yen from WARAKU)

Bought this shiseido lip gloss from the airport for only about 16sgd

After that, we headed to AEON again, to purchase our weekly supply of cup noodles. HAHA!

Got some nail polish for myself too:

And some lingerie again, tee-hee :p

- – - – - -

Yesterday, we headed straight to AEON again right after dinner and bought some REAL JAPANESE FOOD:

what you see is what you get.

CHOPSTICKS-LICKIN’ GOOD.

CRABSTICKS (NOTE: Certainly not the ones you eat in BBQs)

OH MY GREAT GOD SCALLOPS

SASHIMI

MY PERSONAL FAVOURITE: AMAEBI

Can’t wait for next friday. I’m gonna have more of you very soon. 

Next, yesterday’s and today’s purchases from AEON (now you know why i can go broke even though i don’t go to town):

cup noodles again. for the 8 more working days. COUNTING DOWN with no. of cup noodles left.

Shiseido mascara and eyebrow pencil.

Baby Mickey and Minnie organizer. (haha, for myself if you’re curious)

MADE IN JAPAN coffee for MUMMY and DADDY

Ettusais blusher. LOVE IT

We also went into the ‘MINI’ Narita Hard Rock Cafe. Nothing special though.

oh ya, *zao cai mao* for daddy. hope he won’t finds it too cutesy.

 on my way back to the miserable hotel again.

- – - – - -

Tried Sheron’s hairclip:

Got Jess to get one for me.

Still wondering about what to do with it…

- – - – -

well, as mentioned,

probably the next post will be pictures of great singapore food! (i hope)

please pray that i pass my safety demo test on monday, liquor and meal test on weds and composite test on 14 nov and and wish me luck for my stimulations for flight duty.

love
