Well so, this is not a very interesting day. ==> this is a boring post
what we did was just, traveling back to Tokyo from Osaka.
haha, yeah. but without my sister. she headed back to Tokyo earlier in the morning because she had to submit her lab report. she caught the 6am+ train. and yay, i can have 2 more hours good sleep without the blanket stealer. hahaha!
we then left the hotel around 10am, after having the snacks we bought last night as light breakfast. we were just taking our own sweet time.
We had to be the independent travelers this time. We took the local subway to Shin-Osaka and hmm, looking for the Shinkansen ticketing counter. We found one, it looks more like a tourist agency. so we were hesitating for a minute. then my dad and i were like, screw it, just go in.
We communicated in English, and the officer straightaway take out some papers and pen. He asked simple question like where to? we said tokyo, then he'll write 'Tokyo' on the paper to confirm with us. then he wrote "大，小" (literally means big and small.. means adult & children) it's so cute hahahah! after that he took out a few sheets of printed papers. there's a long list of phrases translated into English & Chinese. like 'Aisle', 'Window seat', 'Full', 'non-smoking' etc.
It obviously makes everyone's life easier. better than guessing what the other one is saying, and might get it wrong. 1 like. the officer himself is very cute and friendly although he looks fierce when we were queuing up. LOL
Brother grabbed a Densha-bento before boarding. i also went to the store to buy the Hojicha flavored kit-kat for Rou Zyn as she requested. haha. the hojicha one was nice. it's really has that Hojicha flavor and not as sweet as the matcha one.
yum yums. sorry, didn't know it was nice so we only bought a few bars for testing.
brother's bento.
the chicken tastes like Mcd's Nugger, and the mayonnaise makes it taste like Filet-O-Fish LOL
we traveled in a not-so-bullet-speed for about 2hours and arrived at Shinjuku 新宿 around 1pm.
1pm ? Lunch time¬!! Sister drew a map and sent to my hp. so we followed the map to located the most famous ramen restaurant in Japan -- Ichiran Ramen 一兰拉面
Shinjuku's branch is quite near to the station. but Shinjuku station is a very HUGE station. you have to get to the right Exit lol. Even if you dont, walk out of the station, look up for the huge branding/sign board of TOPSHOP. then walk along the streets and find it on your right.
Shinjuku is also a very good place to shop till you drop. Their top shop, Forever 21, H&M Zara etc are having their own single building of at least 3 floors. also those local brands..
it's their interesting design. because in Japan, it's very common to see solo eater. and the boards are to give the customers some privacy lol. (it can be folded as well)
You walk into the restaurant, you'll see a vending machine, press on the things you want. They only serve a few items so dont worry, Choose whether you want a large or regular bowl of noodle, any add on like the eggs etc, then pay the vending machine and collect your tickets.
The staffs will then hand you an 'ordering form' to fill in. You can customize your noodles!
Choose your preferred spiciness, softness of noodles, amount of onions, soup's thickness...
After filling up the sheet they will lead you to your seat, place your 'ordering form' in front and the kitchen human will collect it and prepare your noodles.
chose a medium thickness of soup + slightly hard noodles.
(thickness of soup almost equal to saltiness, so watch out!)
yummy, but i think i prefer a softer noodle :D hahahhaha! people who knows me will understand. why do i love taufu? because im lazy to chew :P
After eating we then take our own sweet time to travel back to my sister's apartment.
We reached her apartment around 4pm and she wasn't home. Just hanging around in her house.... mom washing the clothes, unpacking and packing up...
We got bored and thought maybe we can visit her university.
So she screenshot the map and yeah. we showered and got out of the house.
Finally we reached her university (Univerisity of Electro-Communication 電気通信大学) after a 20mins delay. ngiek =P
walked around in the campus and took a washroom selfie.
now i miss the long long fringe. Do you still call them a fringe when they are long? no? thne front hair?
the campus is so nice. So 'Campus-ish'. different blocks, and there's gardens, flowers..people cycling here and there. Haiz, I just never get to experience that kind of campus until now. TCSH was a office block, IMU is a shopping complex. both got no outdoor! yay! (main reason i hate this two campuses)
Chilled for a while sitting at the garden, and thinking what to eat. Sister was planning to bring us to have kaiten-sushi, but then we were late and she's kind of lazy too. So we just settled around her uni area. There's a shopping mall where my sister works part time and hypermarket nearby. just across the road.
Unagi rice as dinner~ so delicious and it's just ~RM25 for the big one.
yeah, my brother had the small bowl one.
i love unagi so i got the big one :D
but i gave my brother some rice. look back at his pic and you'll see his unagi was buried down there. hahahahha
good thing about eating unagi rice in japan, they have free flow sauce for ur unagi. but i think not all the restaurants have it.
Went to the Seiyu hypermarket after dinner. to stock in some food and mom wanted to buy japanese rice.
Their orange. SO BIG.
THIS BIG.
their apples are bigger too compared to those we normally see in msia. lol.
but why their people are smaller? hahaahha! =P
the ootd photo :
i didn't wear the inner heat-tech, just the long sleeve + shorts + outer jacket.
because i had a bet with my brother after we saw someone jogging in his shorts LOL
so i walked out just like that like a siao po. HAHAHA
Sister carrying a packet of rice. hahahaha this photo. so much love :P
So it's the end of the day liao.
boring lehhhhh
