To hide museum
Took the Keikyu Express to Yokosuka-chuo - a rather long ride of 43 minutes from Shimbashi station. Yokosuka-chuo is something like a heartland, with a heartland mall right on top of the station ^^;; That’s how I very roughly related it to something I was familiar with. Alanna and I had to walk [...]

Wore a borrowed GL dress from Ivory to Harajuku. Unfortunately, in an attempt to keep the size of my luggage down, I didn’t procure a petticoat. Which meant that the skirt kept flapping about in the wind O.O
Togo Shrine
It’s a Shinto shrine with an antique flea market next to it selling crockery, coins, metal crafts [...]

The most packed day of the entire trip.
Tsukiji Fish Market
We got up at 4.30am so as to reach the market before all the fish were sold off. The market is huge and the fish are huge. I had no idea that tuna were such large animals; since they always come shredded in cans, I used [...]

The hotel gives us free breakfast at several restaurants, so we tried the Sandwich set at some French restaurant today. Big waste of money; no wonder the place was rather … deserted.
After breakfast we set out for the Japanese Sword Museum, situated in a sleepy little residential area. The nearest station was a quaint old [...]

I took a sleeping pill on the plane and zonked out totally, to the extent that the nice Japanese lady beside me had to clamber over me to get to the toilet. Oops. Took the airport limousine bus to Shinjuku Washington Hotel - cost me 3000 yen @*$#Y$* Tokyo has so many tiers of flyovers [...]

Am now at Tokyo Narita Airport using the internet in the lobby while waiting for the limousine bus. Quite fun so far. Alanna and I apparently look Japanese because everyone speaks to us in Japanese. Don’t know if that’s good or bad ^^;;
(both of us are not versed in Japanese AT ALL.)

Alright folks, I’ll be away from today onwards and returning at 11.35PM on 3rd June. DO NOT SMS OR CALL MY HANDPHONE IN THE MEANTIME, because Mother is using my phone. I’m using her account for roaming. And if you need to email me about something urgent, please don’t use plhu@mensa.org.sg because it’s the victim [...]

I am so sorry!
Really should have said ‘nine pm’ instead of just ‘nine’. This reminds me of all those bad alarm clock jokes that go ‘James set his alarm clock for 11 and went to bed at 8. How many hours did he sleep?’
p.s. high context conversation cannot be carried out via chat programmes…

I went with my sister to the paediatrician’s for a routine checkup. An interesting bit of information I gleaned from there:
The eldest is usually shortest, and the third child tallest. (taking the sex difference into account, of course) This is because the first child is the pioneer who stretches the mother’s womb, such that the [...]
