BACK for GOOD! (or at least till my NEXT trip..)

I miss Japan already!! DisneyLand, DisneySea and the Nagashima Spaland!!! 3 theme parks in all, 7 days of enjoyment and LOTS more friends, including seniors that I never knew could be SOO fun! Plus i learnt lots of stupid games.. hehe... like Black Magic and Bang Bang... and tricked Nicole and Dione with What's Next and Fuzzy Wuzzy.. lol! No one can believe the FUN i had... and i already feel like going back... Gek Teng told me on the plane that she wanted to go back, and we haven't ever reached S'pore yet...

Whoa... I'm SOO getting ahead of myself... i shall now give you a day by day EXCLUSIVE of what (I can remember) happened in japan..

1st Day (7th/8th Dec)

I went to the airport like almost one hour earlier.. so me, Kor, Mum n dad and Aunty Judy went to Burger King to eat... i ate chicken cheesesticks... After that we went to counter 7 and met the rest of the band and after checking-in our luggage and everything, i said bye to my family and went into the departure holding area..

In Nagoya, Japan

First thing I did when we got out of the plane was to check for signs of 'smoke'... u noe... the stuff that comes out of ur mouth when it's REALLY cold and you talk...or breathe.... anywaes there wasn't any.. meaning it wasn't cold enough... the weather was nice... gentle breeze... and the temperature was aircon-ish.. like i just stepped into a cold room...
We went sight-seeing to this garden place, then the Nagashima Spaland where i sat the 'White Cyclone' which was a friggin' scary rollar coaster that had SOO many sudden drops... i SCREAMED my lungs out.... i have a picture to prove it! Whee! For lunch, I ate rice and chicken with egg poured on it... simply Oishii!
Then we went to the hot springs place where we soaked our TIRED feet... ohh soo tired... haiz... the feeling was SOO SHIOKKsss...

We stayed at a resort.. 'Al Plaza Tsushima'... where there was 5-6 people in a room.. and ONE common bathroom which was supposed to be shared amongst 84 of us plus teachers...but the trombonists had a bathroom in our room!! Which means we needn't share with the rest!!! it was soo lucky!!

I think I'm really lucky, cuz firstly, I got the resort room with the bathroom, and then in Tokyo, Me and Dione (my roomie) got the bigger room then almost everyone else... hehe... im lucky...

9th Dec

Today was Kor Jerome's wedding (Which i missed la..) and instead, I had a concert exchange with Meridian Junior College (S'porean) and Aichi Meiden High School (Japanese)! We sang amazing grace and played Toccata, Rosa and Choo Choo... Including combination pieces of Pirates and Christmas Festival with MJ and then combining ALL 3 bands with Hands Across the Sea..

10th Dec

Today was my exchange with Aichi Meiden!!! It was SOOO funn!! I met this trombonist called 'Ayako' and she was SOO kawaii!! We ate this traditional Japanese food.. with rice balls and rice cakes.. it was alright.. 'aquired taste'... omg!!! that day was SUPER DUPER funness!!! And we talked about lots of things... and exchanged email addresses!!! Then we had combine with their conductor Mr. Yito (or Ito..not sure..) and the translator/assisstant conductor Mr. Kajiiyama (again.. not sure of spelling..) The conductor was SOO funny and interesting... while playing toccata, we have to imitate church organs...

on the 11th (Monday) We took a bullet train to Tokyo (bullet trains are SUPER fun!) where my second half of the trip commenced... and i shall continue later.. for now, I am feeling tired...

TBC...
