30th Dec 2007 ~ Woke up early in the morning, XM & I head off to Tokyo Takarazuka Theater!! Hoshi Gumi having rehearsal today!! N I hope to see Aran san once again.. Haha.. So off we go and we were a bit early though.. N Im not going to join to squatting queue today coz here belongs to the Tokyo fan club n Im under Osaka fan club, so its ok.. :p
XM & I decided not to take photos of them today. We shall spend our time looking at them. We chose a good spot. A spot whr most of the stars stars will have to walk through. We were jus 3 steps away from the walkway and we could see them clearly. Maybe we did not have a camera in our hands, their head were not hang tt low when walked passed us.
All very pretty and style!! Oh ya, when Yo tatsuki walked passed us, XM told me in Chinese, "wow so pretty!" and we tik she heard it, we saw her looked at us a bit and smiled.. Maybe she understood the "美" word. Then she turned around n waved... Shes pretty!!!! Then Shio San came by too.. We still think she seems to be too stress, the glowing look on her face seems to have gone. But still pretty!!
Of Coz, Aran san came.. Her fans were waiting opposite us. I wanted to run cross the road to the back of the "squatting grp" to see her, but jus before I crossed the road I thought, hmm she has to pass by here to enter into the theater, I jus wait here then, dont care! Hehe.. Indeed, she did! She saw me, and maybe seeing Im harmless(w/o camera & only 1 there), looking at her with my eyes lightening up, she smiled at me!!! Me only!!!! Shiyawase!!! Then she walked in.. Ahhhhhh so cute!!! XM said maybe more or less she could remember me coz I'd intro to her b4 face to face n was told tt Im from SG... I still couldn't forget how she smiled at me(yuppie, me only)!! Hahaha..
Ok ok.. back to reality,tummy finally called for food after stars seeing. We went to the Starbucks besides it to have, Green Tea Fra & Sausage muffin and Bagel & hot choco for XM. While XM waiting for me to get the food, 1 star star sat beside her waiting for hers too.. I tik XM very happy too.. Hahaha.. After breakfast, we went to Takarazuka-an shop to buy more stuff. I bought 2 bks and 1 mag on taka.. XM bought a bk too..
We went back to Asakusa to visit the famous temple. So many local and foreign tourists. And of coz you could hear Singlish now n then. Haha.. many Singaporeans too. I'd been here once during my 1st trip. So this time round came with XM to visit and pray again.
We went back to hotel to put our shopping stuff b4 head out to Tokyo Dome. Kinki kids is having their annual(?) concert here today, so theres lots n lots of ppl.
Errr, well, we both not Kinki kids fans...So most impt for us then was, filling up our tummy.. So hungry, but everywhr was crowded!!! We decide to head to a Soba Shop located next building. XM had mushrooms with Soba and I had the duck soup sauce thgy wif Soba. OiShiiiiii!!!! I couldnt find this dish in Singapore!!!! So sad.. T_T
After lunch we went for shopping at Tokyo(but nothing to buy).. Before heading back to hotel to meet my family.
My parents and Sis went to Shibuya, Harajuku etc etc for shopping for the day. I tik my sis happily bought lots of stuff and my parents bought a Burberry blue label bag for me.. Its Pink in color but Im so afraid to use it coz scare dirty.. Haha!!! After going back, we went out to Takashimaya area for shopping.
We bought nothing but food for dinner at the supermart! I bought a bento set to try!! My sis missed the pumkim & sushi, XM n my parents wanted the chestnut rice and we bought a sweet n sour chicken and some veggies to try.
We also tried the black pepper chicken from KFC there and pork rice from Yoshinoya!! HAHAHAHA.. We need a lot of energy to pack our luggage...

YUMMY!!!! We ordered a special set meal(1 spring chicken, 5 pcs chicken, coleslaw, 6 buns,mashed potatoes) and wif additional Onion rings. I tik they taste better than K**...
We tried to take the photo, though not very clear, but still could be seen. Its in the middle of the photo.
Total 21 days of holiday. Its a long holiday away from Singapore, from work and from my laptop. Although this was my 5th time to Japan, but the feeling was very different. Though the feeling of every trip is different but this trip,really very different. I get to see many things I had not seen before(example, Kinkaku-ji )and get to experience thgs I had not done before(example, Salon de Takarazuka photo taking, Maiko photo taking, eating at the roadside). And especially, it had been a long time(many yrs) since my family went holiday together.
Some ppl asked me, 5th trip Jap in 7 yrs?? Aren't u sian of the place?? Well, I can say it straight out from my heart, NOPE! I still like Osaka alot, I still like Takarazuka alot, I still want to go there again!!!!
Some frens asked if they could go Japan with me? But I said sorry, its hard, coz my main motive is to watch Takarazuka and of coz other Musical tt Im keen in and you guys will be bored to death following me unless u r XM, MX, etc whom r fans of Taka too.
New yr's eve ~ Today got to go home.. SAD!!!!! My parents went to the Fish market to visit so only left 3 gals here to have breakfast and of coz, followed by last shopping at Isetan for bags and cosmetics. We kept looking at the time to make sure we back in time.
Checked out time is 12pm and our bus is at 1pm, so we 3 gals went to buy some burgers to eat.. We bought back for my parents too.. Since there isnt Pork burger in SG mac, I bought 1 there to try. My dad stole a bite before I knew it.. See the bite? By my daddy!!
We were very worried about our luggage total weight. Coz 5 of us, max 125KG, and we had 7 pc. Thank goodnees. Total was 125.8Kg!! We were safe!!! We went for lunch at this Narita Airport. Curry rice.. Hehe.. My sis chose one.. Shes hungry!!
After lunch, more shopping, I bought 2 more comics book and more chocolates... My dad kept telling me to stop buying, but when my mum bought I laughed, he shake his head...
Food on the flight weren't tt bad this time round for my family, coz I requested all veg meal for them.. But me? still remain as regular flight meal. Its chicken with veggies and of coz all veggies for them n XM. We had Ice cream for snacks!!
