See this fat cat, sleeping so soundly along the road in Japan.........

東京都井の頭恩賜公園(Tokyo do Inogashira Onshi Kouen)


This is the swan that we peddle along the river, while peddling, you can enjoy the scenery ......
Nice scenery...
This is the duck that we saw while peddling....
Huge fish right?
See how the flowers bloom!
Walking along the park, you will see a lot of green....
I sat down somewhere along here having my rice ball for lunch, make me so enjoyed & I almost fall asleep!!
Nice colours!!!


One of the view in the park!
This is the park which I went with my family, very nice park, quiet & peaceful...... don't think you can find such a big park in SG.
See all the tortoise on top for sun tanning!!!
All those flowers that I took are bloom during this season, they call this raining season flowers.

My 2 boys & my nephew

The boy in stripes is my nephew.The one in blue is my 2nd son, the other boy is my elder son.




These 3 of them always play together,think my nephew enjoyed a lot coz he is the only kid in my mother in law house.There is no one play with him or fight toys with him,until my 2 boys come! My younger one likes to play his cars, trains, etc, but my nephew always snatch from him when he plays, then each of them will come to me & complain to me......That's why my nephew enjoy to play with my elder son coz he knows he will give in to him, hahaha!!!!

Okosama set (kids set meal)


How much do you all pay having Okosama set at Japanese restaurant?I think about $9+ or less then $10? This is the price I pay for the kids meal in Japan, 180 yen, with kids size ramen & juice & of course toys.

My mother in law house

This is the station name.
Train approaching!
This is the bicycle parking area near the train station.Ppl usually cycle to here, park their bicycle then take train to work. Not like Singapore, when u cycle on the pathway, ppl will scold you, but in Japan is different, cars got to give way to bicycle & you got to give way to them even they cycle on the pathway & is normal...They are so well manners, when u give way they will say thank you to you, but in SG.......... don't dare to think!!!!!
This is near my mother in law house supermarket, 2nd level is the 100 yen shop. 1st level got supermarket & bookshop, on the other side have optical shop and salon...very convenience, just out from the house , 5 mins walk .....
This is the way going to train station, station name is called Nishi Chofu,in fact this area very convenience, take local train to Chofu station which is just one stop, then change to express train to Shinjuku, to Shinjuku is abt 15 mins,very fast right!!!
This is my sisier in law room,this kind of space is enough for her but confirm not enough for me, haha!!!!
This is my mother & father in law sleeping room, can you see the space?What do you think?

This is the stairs which goes up to our room & down to the kitchen.( Narrow?)The house do not have any living hall, their kitchen is also their dining area.So usually after dinner, we will all go up to our room & watch TV. This is my mother in law house exterior view,looks big? In fact inside very small & narrow....but enough for them to stay. Small area easy to clean & maintain.


My favourite stuff from Japan

I get this shampoo & conditional sample while walking along Shinjuku.Gave it a try & it's make my hair very soft after washing, even without the conditional also can. Smooth & soft.......& nice smell..
This green tea I been drinking for 2 weeks, everytime I went out I will buy this green tea from vending machine, cost 150 yen. I myself feel that stay in Japan is so healhy, got nice mountains, fresh air, healthy tea & food........

This is for damage hair oil, just apply onto the hair ends . So far so good, make my hair soft & manageable
Saw this eye cream over the counter, is from shiseido.They stated eye treatment cream, this colour range is for sensitive skin. Brought it to give it a try.The texture is mild & light although is stated cream.
Yeah!!! My favourite snack, Ika somen. Once I am back in Japan, I will always buy this a lot come back, cheap & nice, per pkt only 100 yen.Usually I will buy abt 10 pkt or more,this time is lesser coz no more stock, all I brought finished.Last year I brought abt 20 packs came back, hahah!!!!
This is black sesame spread,I always eat this with toast bread in Japan. I just love the taste & both my boys also love it....cost abt $5.30, 399 yen.Have anyone find this in Singapore? Do let me know.I know last time Isetan have but very expensive but now I cannot find it over there....
This is one of my favourite ocha, but is use soba to make, so is called sobacha.
I cannot find it in Singapore, even in Isetan or mediya.They only have the normal green tea but not this sobacha.This taste more nicer then green tea, with flavour of green tea & soba...


This hoyu hair serum Singapore also got sell, but they don't sell refill .
This eye mask from Kose,5 pieces per box, cost abt $6.60, 500 yen.This eye mask very moisture & if your eye area very dry,this mask is good!
This face mask is from Puresa, per box 5 pieces,they free 1 piece, so total 6 piece, price almost the same with the eye mask, maybe a little bit more, cannot remember the price.The gel inside the mask a lot, after u put in on for 15 mins, the whole face very moisture.I like this mask a lot & it's contain Q10.
This pore care also very good, just put a little on your nose & forehead & rub for abt 3 mins, it's have warming effect.It's stated rub away the blackheads & whiteheads & it's make your nose like baby nose!!!! soft & clean......
This Q10 cream is very good, I apply at night before sleep coz the cream a bit thick. I myself feel that this cream might look thick but when u apply ,the feeling is different,especially when you wake up in the morning, the skin look radiant & soft.......The size is 20G & the cost is abt $10.60, 800 yen.







Talk about shopping, I sure will go crazy!!!! Too many things to see & buy, especially all the FEMALE stuff!!!! The latest cosmetics, skin products, food,etc...........Above the photo is the stuff which I always buy when I am there, coz Singapore don't have, if have , I think the price is higher then Japan. All the products are Made In Japan, that's why is cheaper over there.

Wii MarioKart


This game is rate No 1 in Japan now, I am not sure if Singapore have this game or not., but buy from Japan is cheaper.It comes with a game software & steering wheel. I brought another steering wheel which cost only 1000 yen, SG is about $13.Japan have a lot of games, sometimes don't know what to buy, actually I want to buy WiiFit, cost 8800 yen which is $117 in SG, in the end didn't buy coz it's big size.My neighbourhood game store have this WiiFit, they want to charge me $180 which they told me is discounted price!!!!!

高尾山口(Takaosanguchi From Japan)

















HI,finally I am back from my 2 weeks holiday from Japan.....very tired,been back for so many years to my mother in law house, still can't seem to get use to sleep on futon (which is their mattress only, no bed , no thick mattress.......)wake up confirm here pain there pain.........I know some futon very thick & nice to sleep, but mine is not so no choice.....This 高尾山口 which I went is very nice, been there for few times, every year is different feeling.Last 2 year I went is on winter time, this time is close to summer, which is also raining season,but luckily when I went there is sunny so managed to took nice view & flowers for you all to enjoy!!!!If anyone out there have chance, go on winter time, coz you will be climbing up to the mountain abt 599meters, weather cold cold then have their hot soba there, coz 高尾山口 is famous in their soba (SHIOK)!!!! We went up by chair lift, you can either choose by either cable car or chair lift, but we walked down when we go back, very very tired coz the road is all steep slope.......come to think of it, we should choose to go down by chair lift, but my hubby said we walked down & TRY!!!!!In the end all of us like CRAZY!!!!
