Winter in 2008: Part 2

Here's part 2

Day 1 in Japan: Our first step in JAPAN!

A series of unfortunate event: Flight to Japan delayed; stayed one night in Hong Kong and Nisa lost her baggage (It got left behind in Brunei)

Me and Kak Yati

We had to go to UniQlo for Nisa's clothes and then dinner at Rasa Malaysia in Ginza

The following morning: Mitsubishi corporation office

Before boarding the sky tour


Me and Kato-san, a lovely lady
We took the topmost deck of the Sky tour

Sightseeing around Marunoichi

The secretary general of Mitsubishi Corporation: Nikaido-san. Shared a lot of experiences with us and adviced us to change the perception of Japanese people towards Muslims as terrorists. A good chap he is!

Rikkyo university: The boy has been to Brunei for student exchange programme

They were really impressed with the 'baju cara melayu'

Presentation time:

Brunei: Introduction to Brunei- relationship with Japan

Japan: Impression of homestay in Brunei

We were bombarded with questions from the Japanese student. Some of the questions were really sensitive but we tried our best to answer.

E-mail exchange and dinner

They kept bringing us food and treated us like guests of honour

Tummy's full, last stop Hotel Asia Center and Zzzz.

I know, I know... Lack of updates... right? But I have good news for you readers out there (I think!) Recently, I learned that with a pang on my face that a year had passed after coming back from Nippon! So in order to fulfill these empty feelings, I would like to dedicate my FREE time (if I have) to share some experiences from these trips (2008 and 2009).

Flag of Japan: Land of rising sun

Fresh Look!

Today's a short one... Just finished refurbishing the old look for this blog... How does it look? I hope it's a fresh one ;)

ANYHOW, It was my birthday last Sunday... I spent the whole afternoon, answering greetings. Nothing eventful happened DURING my birthday. I have learned to expect that... (Aww, don't feel sorry for me. Things been like this since ages ago, hahaha). Nonetheless, my good friends (or should I say the 5 chicas) from UBD DID surprised me last thursday (3days before my birthday) and I was left speechless. I should say kudos to the actresses (mena and eyan; eyan's was particularly convincing)... So I would like to say thank you and I love you all for your thoughtfulness.

I would also like to take this opportunity to say Selamat Hari Raya to everyone; both to the muslims and the non-muslims; hope that we can co-exist in peace! What we have now is a blessing and cherish every, single bit of it. Don't forget that!
