Tokyo




















































Man, it has been ages since I last updated this thing. Life working in the Tokyo branch office has been good. Met loads of people whom I never would have thought I would meet.

Ronald arrived in Japan 21st Jan. It was a much anticipated trip of his for both of us, I actually didn't felt as though he left in the first place since we parted in September last year.

Since then, we spent the weekends making day trips out of the crazy city of Tokyo, went to Tsukuji fish market as well as early as we could wake up, trying to catch the fishermen's fish auction.

Yean from Auckland, NZ visited so we met up as well.

Ronald and I met a Malaysian dude, Zadli from Ampang, when we had dinner at a Malaysian restaurant called Mahathir, run by an Ipoh couple. Man, I miss Malaysian food!!! Food was absolutely fantastic with total original Malaysian taste to every single dish I tried there -- claypot rice, char keoy teow, nasi lemak, kari ayam mee, pak cham gai rice, roti canai, satay, teh tarik.... it was HEAVENLY...

The food in Mahathir was so great, and the Aunty and Uncle Wong are so friendly we went back there the day after.

Ronald and I met up with Zadli, Yuen and Cuscini for KTV session the weekend after (KTV in the afternoons in Japan cost near to nothing -- 79yen (95Cents NZD) PER HOUR! Trust a Malaysian to take us to places where there is a good deal.

We then stayed out until clubbing time in Alife.... As clubbing was not originally in our agenda, we were all underdressed...

Hey, I was in my jeans and Adidas shoes, and a hoodie!

..... Oh my god.. totally underdressed as I shrink tinier and tinier around those hot Japanese chicks (which are like.. errr.. 80% of those in the club). To compensate for that, only a handful of them can dance, unfortunately. Did not managed to take any photos of the Jap Chicks as after 2 shots in the club, the security threatened to take my camera away.. Darn!!!
