We booked the air ticket just one week before the departure date. Hahas!
02mar2013 (Sat)
Day 1
Arrived Tokyo Narita Airport and we need to go over to Haneda International Airport to wait for our idol (N-TRAIN) arrival.
Rushed over to the immigration counter and we are kind of disappointed as we look at the queue is like so freaking looonggggg!!
But look carefully, woah! the long queue is actually belong to Japanese!! There's no queue at all for foreigner. Cool~~~
Took the airport bus to Haneda, meet up with our Japanese friends at the airport and also get to know a few more friends.
Finally after the waiting in airport, flight from Seoul Gimpo Airport landed:)
There comes our "oppa's" hahas.
One of the Jap fans was really damn 'hieong' that she just straight away dash up to my SW once he came out.
Ermm... i was like, okay, let you go, i got nothing to talk to him anyway. LoL.
So the whole walking journey to carpark, i totally just stand aside don't even bother to talk at all. But my boy was very understanding, we used eyesight to communicate. HAHA.
Took train over to our hotel near Tamachi Station, leave our luggages and need to rush over to the event venue near Koenji.
It was freezing cold outside where we waited for around an hour plus before entering to the event venue.
Today event was a fan-meeting and also to celebrate the belated birthday for SW & YJ.
Tickets are for the Japanese fanclub members and so we foreigner will be sitting at the back.
ㅋㅋ to me, if i'm not at the 1st row, then i'll would rather be at the last row. HAHA! And so, we was sitting at the last row but the managment told us to move infront. Awww we just die die want to sit at the last row. Hahas.
To be honest, the fan-meeting was somehow boring to us. LoL?
They do a lot of talking, but all in Japanese-.- It's only when they speak in Korean then we can understand =.=
Luckily i still can understand a bit, really A BIT of Japanese, unlike my dear friend down there, i need to translate to her. Hahas!
And our JM condition that day isn't very good. I know he is sick, but in some form, its too fake-.- 我看不下去!
I even took out my phone to play Candy Crush. HAHA!!!!!! Can you imagine how boring is that?
After the fan-meeting, there is a handprint session with them. But you need to purchase a towel in order to get their handprint together with you.
At the point of time, me and felicia totally just rolled our eyes until.................. i dont know where. HAHAHHAHAHA! Such a lame stupid thing to get their handprint on the towel, and you cant wash it and so you can use it-.-. LoL we don't even bother to purchase anything and left the venue.
Was waiting downstair for them to come down. Freezing again in the middle of the night-.-
Finally they came down and the 'hieong' jap fans chiongggggggg again-.-
My face turned black immediately, for the fucking one whole day i never even get to talk to my boy yet.
Ok my fault anyway, cause i just fucking stone aside don't even bother to walk towards him. But he still said 안녕(hello) to me in the middle of the mess.
Forget it, for the 1st day shall just let it be...
Set off to have our dinner nearby.
First meal of the day, RAMEN!! Okay, at least the tasty ramen cheer up my day a bit.
*Ordering ramen from vending machine!*
Bought this Rilakkuma ice cream and Curry flavour cup noodle at the convenient store nearby our hotel. The curry noodle really taste nice!!

Day 2
.JPG)
Arrived the venue, put down our bag and there come our shopping spirit! But we cant buy much thingy as we still need to go in for event later on.
Today event was some kind of Fashion Show event. There's many performers and N-TRAIN are their special guest from Korea:)
Last night i was still saying those fans who bought those merchandise especially badges are idiots! And ended up today event we need to purchase the badges in order to take pictures with them=.=
Was thinking if we go Korea, don't even need to pay a single cent to take pictures. But anyway, since we are here for events, shall just buy it. If not it doesn't even seems to be like we are here for their events. LOL!!
Suppose to be queueing up for the photograph session. But i was standing aside and my SW keep asking me to "come here come here" speaking in English. Omg was so awkward please, as people was in the queue and yet he ask me to go over. *cut queue* passed him my "SHIT" at the same time.
Took my 1st photo and hang around them, passing my phone for him to selca. HAHA and went to queue 2nd round for a group photo.
Once they saw i'm the next person in queue, everyone just stand very straight and tiptoe. HAHA! Stupid shorty YJ quickly told me to bend down hahahaahahs! Don't need you say, i will... And after taking pictures, i was laughing at SW and SH why are you two so tall today? 5cm of insole?? Kekekekeke~
They went over to take picture with the Japanese singer halfway. Fan servicing around at that time too. And there goes everyone start playing with my "shit"!
Bought this 'shit' from my Taiwan trip last December, thinking of it might be useful for being a lame gift for him. Ended up seems like the maknae and manager like it so much.
Event ended and we walked over to the another shopping mall and took neoprints! (Japanese love taking neoprints somehow)
Hang around the area for dinner and there goes my craving for Takoyaki!! Oishii~
The Japanese then start to took out stationaries after their meal, thinking of 'questions' to ask their oppa for the next day event.
Everyone was so hardworking writing down questions while me and Felicia totally rolled our eyes until don't know where.
It took them 2hours to complete writing and felicia and i just simply 'sian' down there. Wanted to tell them we'll go shop around the mall, at that point of time, they finished writing too-.-
Finally heading back to the hotel and the Japanese say lets go to noraebang(KTV). We agreeded but regretted. They was saying go noraebang at 12am, sing until 5am and lets go queue for the event!!! We went WHAT THE FUCK?! What to do? We need to stick to them no matter what.
Our mood for that moment was really like SHIT and i mean it!
Not say we gonna sacrifice our sleep this night, but thinking of queueing overnight under this freaking freezing temperature, i wanna bang wall and die on the spot!
04mar2013 (Mon)
Day 3
The KTV session came out to be quite fun though...
There's lots and lots and lots of Korean songs, really A LOT!
Trying to keep myself awake by just high-ing while felicia was about half dead. HAHA! At the same time, trying to protact my throat, not to anyhow scream and shout like mad women.
Stepped out of noraebang, i felt some water dropped on me. Thought was raining, but when i look up, heyyyyy it's SNOWING!!!!!!!!! But it wasn't snowing big, can't even see the snows on floor, sad :(
Within walking distance, we arrived the event venue. Freezing cold, and we went into the 24hr restaurant above to have our super early beef bowl breakfast.
There goes our life rotting at the staircase outside the event venue. Who the hell will reach there so early u tell me????
Felicia just felt asleep after sitting down while the japanese some was sleeping, some was half asleep too. The poor me just can't sleep no matter how, trying to play with my phone but it was so cold till i dont even want to take out my hand from my jacket :( And who the hell will entertain me at that timing? 5am is equal to our Singapore timing 4am+!
Until 7am+ the another batch of jap friends arrived with scarf, heat pack and hot drinks for us.
Woahh finally i feeling a little bit warmer but still cold. LOL!! At least i'm able to take out my phone to start using, playing games, watching dramas etc..
9am, we start to split group by group take turns to go starbucks oppsite for some hot coffee.
I don't feel cold anymore by that time, so let the others go first while im busying watching IRIS2 from my phone. HAHA!
Changed 'shift' our turn to go Starbucks. Was so warm downt there :D
There's a angmoh sitting next to us, totally can feel his curiousness of where we are from. Hahas!
As we communicate with our Japanese friends by using Korean. And talk to each other using our super Singaporean way. Mixture of English, Chinese, Hokkien etc... Hahahhas~
Was about 12pm, more and more fans came and we slowly drag our feets back to the staircase again-.-
Time passed slightly faster as everyone was awake and more and more people was here.
Take turns to go for lunch/dinner again. As me and felicia knew that we wont have the time to go to Tokyo Tower anymore, so we walk slightly near towards the tower to take a picture but somehow picture look damn far and small away. HAHA!
Anyhow walked into a restaurant without our Jap friends, totally don't know how to order our food, so just point here and there. Until when we want to made payment, the person asked us something but we just "question mark? question mark?? question mark???" there. Suddenly she speak a super fast sentence of words and after 3second then we realise she's speaking in Chinese=.=
Walk back to the staircase and saw something happened to my Mai unnie. She went freezing like mad even though everyone took our their jackets and scarfs, heat pack and hot drinks for herbut still useless.
Event was about to start.
After event today is their fansign event.. So we entered the venue and have to buy the folder=.= *another cheat money event*
After yesterday event, we learned a lesson, stand at the left side. HAHA!
Luckily both felicia and mine bias were always standing together.
There were 3 or 4 groups of japanese artist performing before N-Train.
The 1st guys who performed was so disgusting until........... we are so speechless. Maybe japanese like those kind of style? But his popularity was so sucks too.
There is also this Jrock band who went crazy on that small stage as well. Jrock went crazy is normal, but the whole band only the bass went crazy while guitar drummer and lead sing were normal. Ermmm........ okayyy... Because we were sososoooo near to the stage, felicia was so afraid that the bass might hit her head with the standard of his craziness. HAHA damn funny.
Also, finally a proper jpop group appeared. Not bad looking, but some just look too old.
Their fans was standing behind us and we exchanged our position while that jpop group is out. Quite high their song, we was waving and doing some "dance" together too. Haha! Entertaining!
Lastly, finally here comes our one and only kpop N-Train!!
Photography was prohibited but i hackcare, since im at the 1st row, no one will walk in front of me nor no one can see what am i doing from the back. I simply just videoed down the whole event!
But the stage is too near, i'm having difficultive in videoing especially when they were standing up and i have to lean back until i really having backache!!! And i can even put my hand over to the stage and took tissues left on the stage floor (for the artist to use) and use it ourself. HAHA!!! *SH dropped one of his button and i took it up without anyone noticing.. hahas!*
Throughout the whole event, my SW was always standing right in front of me. ohyeah! best fancam ever. Haha! but i'm not gonna upload it online everything. hehes~
Somewhere in the middle of the event, Mai unnie black-out.
Everyone was so shock and one of the staff carry her out.
And the guys on stage where all shocked until some guys at the back shout on them to carry on.
This day event was the best out of all days.. probably thanks to the fan service given.
The jap's were all shedding tears out of no where, where me and felicia just went what the hell???
Seriously, japanese too emotional already.... Your idols never do any service to you, u cry... Your idols do tooooo much service to you, you also cry... =.=
Here comes the fansign event.
If you have ever been to a fansign in Korea, most probably you will see fans going up one by one and kneeling down in front of the table in order to have eye level contact with the artists..
Event in Singapore, everyone go up and security will pull you away if you stay up on stage for too long. Or should say, you wont even have much chance to take to your idol.
In Japan, they don't practice this habit same as Korea, but not as worse as Singapore. No one will pull you out. HAHA!
We're trying to be the last few to go up, until my turn, i ignore and just knee down to talk. HAHA!! First person was my SW, so stucked there for quite some time before moving to the next member SH. Sorry SH oppa, i was still busy with SW while it's already at your turn. Followed by JK, asked him some stupid stupid really stupid question.. But whatever, i'm not his fans, but i'm KimHyungJun fans!! (because JK and hyungjun oppa are good friend, so i asked him something related to hyungjun. Bwahahahahah) Slowly slowly move towards the end. Ignored JM and moved to JY. Awwww YJ action was so cute! If i'm a fan of him i sure melt on the spot. But too bad, i'm not!
Stepped out of the fansign place to get some drink outside and event ended while i was still drinking.. kekekes... "cheers" through the glass door with him.
It was raining outside, waited for them to come out and............ i forgot what we did that night already. HAHA! Sorry pardon my old brain with poor memory as i didn't took anymore picture after that. Totally can't remember. :(
Back to hotel, like a finally..... we can have some sleep!
05mar2013 (Tue)
Day 4
Took train down to...................... Oshiage station? i can't remember the station, but it's near the Sky Tree Tower.
Luckily after the sun rise, temperature increased too, and luckily there's a plug down there for me to charge my phone. Busy watching the videos that i've recorded down yesterday, and so time passed...
While playing with my phone half way, saw their car pass by.. They isn't stopping, so i guess probably gonna go in by another entrance.
Some fans then start to move towards to the back alley to wait for them. But we choose not to. And dalalalalallaalla~~~ still manage to see them before they went into the building without other fans knowing... oops~
Acting blur and slowly walk to the back alley too, and back to the front door..
Broadcast starts at 2pm and we entered at around 1pm.
Leaving my led board on the floor without noticing until quite a moment later. Rushed out, luckily it's still there.. Piew~~
So it was a broadcasting programme today, photographing is strictly prohibited. Ok this one i can understand, although we are at 1st row again, but i wont take out my phone to video. LoL
Again, sitting on the left side, dear SW is right in front of me again. Hahas!
I guess probably see him too much already, today event i totally 'sian-ed' on him. HAHA! oops.
You do so much fan service also useless, i'm not recording down... hahahs!
There happen to be this aunties 'fans' sitting next to me. I don't know where did she came from, as in she's Japanese but not N-Train fans definitely!
She was so friendly until.......... a bit scary? Hahas!
She was talking to us in Jap, ofcause we don't understand, so we replied in Korean saying we are not Japanese. And so she used Korean to ask where are we from? Korea? Nope, we replied. We're from Singapore.. And there goes she start talking to us in English..
Not bad not bad, this auntie know so many language. Some her English is not quite bad, better than our friends. HAHAHA!!
Was putting the lightboard on my lap without turning on the switch, as it was so bright already, i don't need the lights. But the auntie keep asking me to turn in on, hold it up high.. And i keep turn it off, put it down LMAO!! (my SW saw it and was like laughing inside himself. arghh damn!)
After the whole broadcast, while they were leaving the stage, saying byebye to the fans, i was busy talking to Felicia, and i heard someone using microphone and said "byebye byebye YANLING byebye". Immediately turned my head and stare at him!! Rolling my eyes until don't know where. Do you have the need to use MIC?!!! You scare no one in the world know my name is it?! Shit you!
Before we leave, while the emcee was making some closing line, the auntie next to me start to shout out to the emcee saying there is fans from Singapore here. Omggggggg the MC even told us to stand up and turn around to say hii... FUCK! We just bend our head down shaking shaking and rejecting...!
But somehow someone else from Singapore sitting at the another end trying to grab the elegance, telling MC that there is another one from Singapore too.. Omg this is so embarrassing....
Quickly grab our bag and leave the venue ASAP!! So shameful.
Was waiting outside for them to come out.
As usual, i don't like to squeeze with the fans, so was standing at a side.
He went into the car and keep turning back to wave at me.
Hais~ As usual, i'm lazy to put my hand out to wave...
Crossed over the road to a restaurant to have our dinner there. Yea, that's the restaurant the guys went earlier in the noon.
Once again, i really seriously don't know why the hell Japanese like to stay up at a restaurant after their meal, sitting there and do nothing=.=
Finally we are leaving. Last farewell with those Japenese as we wont be seeing each other anymore in this trip.
Back to our hotel to get our luggage and move to the another hotel at Shinjuku area. Shinokubo Station.
One of our Jap friend got work the next day, so isn't joining us at the hotel for this night.
We went to the Korean Street which is just a directly next to our hotel.. Shop around and had dinner(again). But because it's korean food, we don't mind eating more. Hahahahaahs.
06mar2013 (Wed)
Day 5
See you again next time dear..
And finally back to the hotel room.
This was the time where i'm quite pissed off.
Was so tired wanted to sleep but yet i really don't know what are the Japanese doing/thinking. Asked them so what time is their flight? They don't know. Asked them should we go to their hotel or go airport wait? They dont know.. Saying Japanese don't wait at the hotel, and airport they will go by VIP, so no point going down to the airport.
Pissed off and i ignored everything, just SLEEP!!!
Woke up in the morning and then drag our feet down to their hotel. Now is we made the decision not the Japanese anymore!
It's our last chance of seeing them already, we don't want to miss it. U japanese want go or don't want go is your own problem.
But ended up there is still two jap fans come along.
Reached their hotel and saw one of the staff outside, knewing there would be movement soon, so quickly had my makeup done and SH oppa came out. Waaa luckily i just had my makeup done. Imaging he see me without makeup on-.- ohno scaryyyyyy~
Very soon, everyone came out.
One best thing is, there's only 4 of us here. 3 SH fans and me 1 SW fans. HAHA!
Take our time slowly talk talk talk and talk and take pictures... (shit me totally forgot to take out my polariod-.-)
There they leaving for lunch where me and Felicia decided to slowly train down to the airport.
From that moment onward, we were officially separate from the Japanese!!!!!!! *HURRAY!!*
Move anywhere everywhere freely as we want..
Ami & Moe, see you when i see you~ Kekeke~
Reached airport and i saw the news of my HyungJun baby is coming Singapore for the charity show!! OMG FML OMFG~!!!!!!!!
My whole mind is full of thinking of KimHyungJun KimHyungJun and KimHyungJun! Who cares about the KimSangWoo that i am waiting for at the airport. HAHAHA!!
I seriously can't concentrate as the charity show is just the NEXT weekend! Busy looking for ticket everywhere. Trying my luck for my friends connection as it's under Mediacorp. Hahas.
Anyway, the guys that we are waiting is here. Really go by VIP, so we left the drparture hall and go down to the carpark. Hahas. So smart of us, and amazingly no fans again-.- Quite awkward, only the two of us were there.
Me ain't paying attention to my SW but busying with my phone, looking for tickets. I'm so sorry KSW.
Anyway, bye guys~~~!!!!! See you when i see you okay.. Hahas!
Another round of HURRAY!!!
Here comes the freedom!!!
After being trapped with all their schedules in Tokyo, finally they left, finally it's our SHOPPING TIME!!!!!!!
Firstly, took train down to Shibuya!!
Woohoo~ I love the walking crowd on the streets. Thats the feel yo~
Had our brunch at Coco Ichibanya. I know Singapore do have this restaurant as well, but the taste in Japan is totally different compared to Singapore! Super oishii~!!!
Entered the famous shopping area Shibuya109.
Jaw dropped nonstop. Every higher level we went, the price of their clothes went higher as well...
Just took a walk one round at each level and we went off. Hahas!!
It's seriously toooooo expensive to me. And not my style though~ Kekekes~
Next destination, Shinjuku!
Went to their Takashimaya. I love departmental store supermarket forever!
Haven't even get to shop much, and we heard the announcement at 7.30pm saying the store will be closing at 8pm. WTH?! Taka in SG closed at 9.30pm and we already complain too early, yet they are closing at EIGHT PM!!!!
Ok fine.... Walk around the area and i saw this restaurant signboard seems so familiar!!
And dalaaaa it's GO GO CURRY!!!!
Saw this on TV, on one of the programme from my favorite Jpop artist KAT-TUN. They introduced this restaurant with gianantic portion of food served. hahas! (SG do have it at ION orchard basement 4 the food area. But it's totally taste sucks and small serving too compare to japan)
Closed closed closed, so sian.
Why do Japan close their shop so early???
Back to our hotel area and shopped one round of the korean streets again.
Finally had some sushi for this trip! Imagine we came Japan but never eat sushi? Hahas!
Also bought Ebi Burger from McDonalds back to try. As my friend who always went Jap highly recommend this to me. Hahas.
Time to have some sleep and charge ourself for the craziness shopping tomorrow!
07mar2013 (Thur)
Day 6
It's officially our LAST DAY!!!!We need to check out at 10am. And asked the receptionist are we allow to leave our luggage at the storage room? Yes they do, but the maximum they can keep is up till 3pm only...
Quickly rush down to Harajuku!
And there we start our madness for shopping at this area!
Can't stop buying stuff down here, feel like buying things from every single shop we entered. Not say cheap, but out of the whole Tokyo, this place consider cheap! HAHA!!
Went to their H&M as well. Awwww cheapcheap its really cheaper compare to SG.
Bought this two for SGD$19 each.. SG probably selling at $29.90 or $39.90??
Entered this building as 櫻桃小丸子 displayed outside caught my attention.
Woahh it's heaven inside!
Levels of different characters!
I can't really remember which floor is which and which, but basement is Snoopy, level 4 is Rillakkuma and Hello Kitty, level 3 is Disney??
Love this place so much, that i really spent a lot down here buying things for my sis, colleagues and classmates. Hehes. Wanted to get myself an Rillakuma but seems like my luggage wont give me any more space nor my hand can carry so much! :(
Daiso Daiso!!
How can you not enter their Daiso in Japan? Hahas!
This Daiso were 3 level high..(same as korea, they do have 3 level high Daisoas well) Everything is 100¥ which is SGD$1.30! Selling more interesting things that you can't find in SG Daiso. Hahas.
I walked out Daiso like a crazy women. one HUGE plastic bags of foods!! Yes, i'm there to spam foods!
Entered their Calbee shop.
Bought some Calbee products and had their chips with choco strawberry filling..
Ok i need to blog about this Jagabee look alike. It's scallop flavor!!!
Maybe i bias or what, i love scallop, and i love this limited edition scallop flavor! Shared it with my friends and everyone like it, really taste nice and it's different from Jagabee.!
Now really regretted why didn't i buy more packs back?! (probably because of my luggage space again)
Almost time and we need to rush back to our hotel to claim our baggages.
Drag our luggage down to Shinjuku area. Thanks to Japan metro station, they have great fantastic locker service!! You can see different sizes of lockers everywhere you walk within the metro station.
We just simply dump our whole luggage into the lockers and start shopping again!!
Went to Isetan looking for Fancl but they dont carry Fancl in Isetan-.- wth.
Walked over opposite to IOIO and once we step in, the very first shop is Fancl already. Woohoo~~
Spam and there goes all my money. I'm broke after entering this stupid Fancl that sucks all my money. HAHAHA
About 5pm+, we went collect our luggages from the lockers and went to buy ticket for airport limosine bus. Luckily we reached earlier, as the last bus the depart of the day is 6pm! If not we have to train all the way down to airport which is really troublesome!
Grabbed a box of fresh sashimi as my dinner from a supermart before boarding the bus.
Reached airport and do our last minute shopping before boarding.
Spent another hundrads over on the shops there buying my favourite dried scallops which cost around SGD$80+, Tokyo Bananas, and more on foods until my wallet really left with a few coins. Even borrowed some Yen from Felicia. Ooops~
Trying to imitate someone one the air plane...
There we go home sweet home~
And i have to cab home alone with all my luggages, put it down, have a bathe, and off to work :( how shag my life is :(
Tokyo trip is all about FOODs!!
