14th Dec - 21st Dec. What a blast. Japan and Hong Kong was just, amazing. One thing I enjoyed the most was the company I had the trip with - Lem, Sam and Sid. We had many laughs and crazy moments, which I'll never forget. Sid and I couldn't sleep til 2am because our stomachs were highly conjested by the raw fish we had in Japan. The sashimi there is fantastic. Everything in Japan is great. The people are so polite and patient, and I respect them for that. I wished for snow, and I was granted that wish when we went to the seaside, and it was hailing, then it snowed for a while. Japan is one of the places where I would love to visit again. The shopping, the food, the people, just the place itself, was so beautiful. We stayed in the Grand Hyatt in Fukuoka, where we had 5 star treatment and nice modern rooms. I can go on and on about the trip, but that would take hours for me to explain in words. We took *** photos for the whole trip, and many whacky videos. Hong Kong was our next destination. We started the trip with a nice dinner opposite our hotel. Ange and Wil joined us the next day and we had lunch at jade dynasty, where we ordered wonton noodles, fish porriage, beef brisket noodles, tau hui, dumplings, and the list goes on. Everyone shopped til they dropped, especially Sid. The mango dessert was my favourite, and smelly tofu is so good! Its good to have Sid around to carry stuff. haha. We would get back to the hotel, shower, eat mango dessert, and take turns to massage each other. Our backs ache so badly since we have hardly enough sleep and walking for more than 1o hours a day. We went to the hong kong peak. One word to describe it, breathtaking. The lights were so beautiful. Very romantic I would say. I met up with mandy, erika and jacq in disneyland the next day. I spent one day with them in Hong Kong and I felt like i was 5 again. Its so weird how we get so excited to take a picture with minnie and mickey mouse, mushu, goofy, donald and daisy. We walked around taking pictures, screamed in the star galaxy ride, and laughed at the weirdest things. I have never been to disneyland and that was definately an experience. Although it was not as big as the ones in Japan, LA and Europe, I had fun nevertheless. Another full day in Hong Kong, and our legs were aching big time. We tucked ourselves in bed, and this was nearing the end of my long holiday. I met Sid, Lem and Sam at the airport the following day, and we headed back to Singapore. We got back to Lem and Che's place, and they jammed for some time, which was fun. Hinson arrived in Singapore, and we picked him up and grabbed some dinner at holland Village. I am back home now, and I can't wait to show mom and dad the pictures I have taken througout the trip. Its 1.10am, 22nd of Dec, I'm heading to thailand at 9.15 today. I am shacked from Japan and Hong Kong, but the tiredness was totally worthwhile. I will miss those places, and the people I went with. This holiday has been etched in my memory, never to be forgotten.
