Our First Day in Tokyo

Hello~

I am finally in Japan!! Banzai ＼（＠￣∇￣＠）／!!!

So here is a quick update on our first day of arrival...

As expected,  I didn't sleep at all on the plane and on our way to our hotel which took more than an hour and a half, so you can imagine how very exhausted I was by the time we reached @____@.

But my exhaustion was immediately lifted once we arrived at the hotel~

Hotel Niwa Tokyo~

It's located in Chiyoda-ku, a very quiet place that is near the Nihon University and JR Suidobashi Station which only takes one interchange to get to the Yamanote line - the main Tokyo line that links to major areas in Tokyo. 

The reason why I chose this hotel was not only because of its convenience to the station, but also its beautiful Japanese ambient, free wi-fi, and super friendly and helpful staffs (Yes, they can actually speak pretty fluent English!). When we failed to go Japan the last time, we phoned them requesting for a cancellation at the very last minute and explained our situation to them. The staffs there were so kind to waive off our one night penalty from their policy for not making a cancellation within 48 hours. So touched by their service( ╥﹏╥)! Then I told myself we got to stay in this hotel during our next Tokyo trip (Photo is taken from their official website)!  I think choosing Hotel Niwa is one of the best decisions I have made this year (~￣▽￣)~.

The hallway to our room.

They gave me a room on the higher floor with a nice scenery as requested ( ─ ‿‿ ─). 

Our room looks exactly like the photo that was featured on their official website as shown here. What a perfect place to be after a tiring long flight (▰˘◡˘▰). 

It comes with a big and deep bathtub....

...with shampoo and other daily wash which they will refill everyday.

And an advance washlet that is pretty common in Japan. I wonder why we don't have such advance toilets in Singapore, not even in those 5 stars hotels >.<.

This is my dear's corner and also his favorite place in our room ^-^.

As he will spend most of his time playing his laptop while enjoying the scenery and cool air  (▰˘◡˘▰). 

Then, we had our dinner in a small ramen store that was located near our hotel. 

And we made our order from this machine!! Cool huh (*≧▽≦)ﾉ~? But we realized, it's not that uncommon for restaurants in Japan to operate with the use of such machine. 

Here come our ramen~!! It's super delicious!!

おいしい!!

My dear likes it so much that he wants to eat there everyday ^0^!

After dinner, we went shopping in the convenience stores and were amazed by their products and their very pretty packaging.

Look at their variety of coffee displayed~! I could not resist and bought one.

 The latte tastes exactly like those from starbucks ^^. Not a disappointment. (Photo taken by my dear~ I am a fan of his photography already （*´▽｀*）).

We realized that Japanese love to carry umbrellas around and use them even though it isn't raining or just drizzling slightly. It seems like a common practice here during the rainy season. So, here's a picture of me trying to look like one of them before ending this post (/^▽^)/ .

See you on my next update (｡♥‿♥｡),

Sushi Treat

Hello~

Oops! I didn't manage to update a post yesterday ( ꒪Д꒪)ノ. It's not easy to blog everyday, and I salute to all bloggers that managed to do it because it takes so much dedication!!

Anyway, the other day my dear brought me out and treated me Sushi Tei as I was terribly upset for missing the opportunity to go Japan this april to try their authentic sushi ( ╥﹏╥). 

My first otoro sushi! It was really fresh and meaty! Loved it!

Can't wait to try those in Japan (~￣▽￣)~! 

My all time favorite amaebi sashimi~ 

I totally in love with the sweetness of this shrimps (▰˘◡˘▰)! 

And Sukiyaki!! 

I have forgotten to take a photo of our sukiyaki so took this from Sushi Tei's website hehe!

Though the food in Sushi Tei were good! But I still want to eat sushi in Japan!! 

Sooooo looking forward to going there in June (*≧▽≦)ﾉ!

See you tomorrow (probably),

My Affair with Otome Game Part 2

Hello~

I am back again to continue with my last post on the Otome games that I have recently played. This is going to be a short post as I'm heading out for dinner soon hehe (/‾▿‾)/. 

Tada~! I think it's the latest Otome game created by Voltage inc. 

Looks so dreamy huh （￣ー￣）?

Chose to play Lute's story line mainly because he somehow reminds me of my dear and like him, he's also a Libra (＾▽＾)❤. I must say that my bf obsession have reached another new height hurhur! Lucky I have many Leo sign girlfriends who are equally obsessed or devoted to their bfs (provided we considered them worthy and truly love them), so I am not the odd one out. Maybe that one traits of being a Leo -- An obsessive girlfriend Σ(゜д゜;). 

Back to the game, the story plot is pretty good (though rather typical) and so are the graphics. You will be playing as a princess with gorgeous knights protecting you which, I suppose, a lot of girls will enjoy it (◡‿◡✿). 

In the story, Lute is portrayed as a gentleman, protective, sweet, and charming, like my libra boy (ღ˘⌣˘ღ). But on the down side, he can be hesitant as he tends to over think and considered too much of the circumstances (also like my libra boy ≧△≦) which can be quite irritating. 

JUST MAKE UP YOUR MIND ALREADY щ(゜ロ゜щ)!!

Like right now, he can't even answer me where he wants to eat because I have given him too many choice.

 Oh well, guess I will have to make the decision for him again  o(´^｀)o.

An old photo of us to end the post (-^〇^-). 

See you tomorrow (hopefully),

My Affair with Otome games

Hello~

For those who know me, I love playing games! I have played all types of games from famous mmorpg like WOW to competitive gaming like Dota, Dota 2, Hon, and LOL. Not only that, I even participated in WCG with my team many years back ( = w = )\. I also like to play console games as well. Recently, I started on my first Otome game -- a type of Japanese video game targeted towards female market, where the plot is mainly about the female romantic relationships with several male. 

Being an otaku, I always wanted to try playing Otome games but didn't had the chance to because I am constantly engaged in either a competitive or social game.... But finally, I downloaded my first Otome game into my Iphone! Banzai (/‾▿‾)/!!

Seduced in the sleepless city (///∇//) !!

Actually, the main reason why this game caught my attention is because of him...

Yeah! One of the male characters has my dear's name (｡♥‿♥｡)!! And he's a F1 racer!! How cool huh?

I can only imagine my real Noel cutting and dying his hair blonde because he commented it isn't professional to have blonde hair when he's working (¬､¬). But when I first met my dear in USA, he had freaking blonde hair!! And he will spend like hours styling it and making himself look like a model which drew a lot of attention (¬д¬。),  but don't know why now want act like a decent good boy when he's back in SG 

o(´^｀)o. 

Nevertheless, though he's not a famous F1 racer or has blonde hair now, I still love my real Noel very much (　ﾟзﾟ)!!

And I will inform him each time I am having affair with my Otome game's Noel hurhur =w=.

Anyway, back to the game...

The ending is based on the choices you choose throughout the game. So some girls might want to replay it again to see the different endings ~￣▽￣)~. 

For this game, there's a total of six stories to purchase, each covering a different male characters. Though I only bought the Noel's story, according to reviews, the other male's stories have very good plot too. I really love the game graphics too (  ≧ω≦) !!

While browsing through other Otome games, I came across another one that has a male character with my brother's name.

Hahhahaha (≧∇≦)!!!

And he's a prince in the story. Wth (/ﾟДﾟ)/! The real Keith I know is nothing like this man! 

Ok, it's time for my dinner now. I will continue writing a part 2 for this topic tomorrow when I have the time (☆▽☆) !

See you tomorrow (hopefully),

Lovely Choker from Kelly~

Hello~

As a few of you might have already know, I was forced to postpone by Japan trip to June due to a small, irresponsible travel agency that failed to inform us a very important matter which was required for us to board the plane

ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ ┻━┻.

 I was very upset and angry about the whole issue but I am not going to rant about it now since this is my first post after weeks of not having any update on this blog. I will probably do another post on it as, after explaining the cause to some of my friends, they encouraged me to do a post on it so they will be able to warn their friends from purchasing any travel tickets or plans from them. 

Anyway, back to my today's blog topic, Kellykonomi had invited me to join her blogger challenge -- to blog everyday, so my first post for her blogger challenge will need to be a happy one, and of course, since it is her challenge, she got to be inside right（⌒▽⌒）? 

(But, Kelly ar, I think I will fail your challenge in less than 4 days time hurhurヾ(´▽｀;)ゝ.... knowing me, I am not a blogging kind of person  I think it will be a miracle if I can last one week.)

Just a few days ago, Kelly experimented on doing her own DIY chokers (◕‿◕✿).

So chic and elegant right (｡♥‿♥｡)?? And there's more....

超かわいい~!!

By the way, the middle one is MINE!! She specially did it for me hehe (*≧▽≦)ﾉ~~! 

Closer look at my choker... So pretty!!!

(The 3 photos above were taken from her facebook page ... so convenient heeee ~( ─ ‿‿ ─))

Ok, before any of you think I am lazy to take photos (which I admit, I am  (▰˘◡˘▰)) , here's a photo of me wearing the beautiful choker.

Yes~! I am hoping Kelly's choker to give me some luck after not having any luck this month to visit Japan. Ashley is a sad girl ( ╥﹏╥). 

Still, thank you so much for making such a pretty choker for me, Kelly(｡♥‿♥｡).

どうもありがとうございました!!

More photos of me wearing the choker on the next few posts because I love it so much~

Blog again tomorrow (hopefully)~,

Ashley (◕‿◕✿)!
