Japan trip 2 - day 2 - part 3

Hello!! I lost count of whether this is part 2 or 3, if it is wrong I'll correct it when I get back. :)

It's pretty late in japan and I'm a little tired but I really want to say how much I enjoyed this concert.  Kalafina was AWESOME.  They sounded great and I had a fantastic time.

The also sang their new yet to be released song "magia" which although didn't sound perfect was still great.  It sounds different from most of their previous songs which is cool.  It also is a rockier song and the song that started the 9 song set which got everyone high.

They also announced that they will sing the theme, or ending theme song, for the 3rd season of a nhk docu. At least I think that is what they said as my japanese is a little limited. Lots of new music. So happy. :)

K, going to sleep now. :)  maybe will talk more about kalafina another day. :)

This is a picture of the lemon cc hall in shibuya. The kalafina concert will be at this location later today at 430. Danielle and i came early to look for the place and then walked around a bit before we returned at 2 to buy t-shirts and the concert pamphlet. So exciting, my first concert in japan. :)

Japan trip 2 - day 2 - part 1

Good morning, :) it's lovely in japan today. Initially i thought i would update the blog last night but we got back really late so it was straight to bed for danielle and i. Last night we met manami for dinner and she took us to eat at yet another amazing sushi place. This place is in ebisu. We could not get into the one in Meguro as it was booked for a party. This is just one of the photos of the awesome sushi we ate. The chef was really funny too and we had a great time. As usual i took photos of virtually everything we ate except for maybe the pickles. :) After that we went to a nearby bar and drank and talked till 3am in the morning till we got back to sleep. I had a great time and i was very happy to meet manami again. :) :) :)

Japan trip 2 - day 1 - part 3

After we found our hotel in the Shinjuku area, we dumped our bags and headed out to explore the area. We could not check in till 2pm which was about 2 hours from the time we reached the hotel, so we left our bags under the care of the reception at the hotel and headed out to get some lunch.

Now I'm a HUGE fan of the onigiri in Japan, so naturally all I could think of getting after I left the hotel is onigiri and a hot can off coffee from the Family Mart near the hotel. Incidentally, I think this was one of the first things I ate during my first trip to japan.

After wandering around Shinjuku for a while and buying tons of Japanese snacks for lunch we headed back to check in at the hotel where both Danielle and I promptly fell asleep for a couple of hours cuz we were so tired.

We'll be heading out soon to meet 3 more friends from singapore and then the five of us will meet Manami for what we hope will be a super awesome sushi dinner. :)

I haven't been very active online lately because I unexpectedly and very quickly got a job soon after graduation.  About the only project I actually did manage to complete was cleaning my room.  That was a huge project on its own and took me an entire week to complete.  Even then, I still feel that there are one or two pockets of junk I need to work through. :)

I'm on the train right now to start at my new job and I am really excited and nervous.  I really wanted this job and really wanted to work for this company so I'm very happy about it too.

That said, I will still miss many things about being a student.  I will miss my flexible schedule, my occasion afternoon coffee indulgences at my favourite cafes, my morning table tennis game etc.  But I start to earn money again, yay! :)  The pass year wasn't too horrible financially because I received a government allowance every month but still, it is nice to be able to earn more now.

Okie dokes.  Almost time to switch trains. Wish me luck on my first day at work. :)
