bLaCkIcE's Conundrum

Tokyo!!! First nite...

10 September..... My first flight on an airplane!!! Finally, after 22 years...i have a chance to board an aeroplane!! sounds sua ku? Yeah.. i'm a sua ku guy who nvr sat on an airplane be4 and so wat? :P I guess i'm really lucky to be able to come to Tokyo... my first trip overseas(exclude Spore) and i'm already going for Tokyo... feel really blessed. I'll be the first in my family to travel so far...the furthest b4 this was my dad who went to China...My mom nvr even went for a tripp be4! I've wanted for them to have a chance to travel becoz i think they deserved it after so many years but now, i'm going for a trip be4 them.,.. oh well.. just have to compensate by 'subsidisng/sponsoring' their trip in the future.. hope i can :P

The flight was about 7 hours... departing from C hangi at 8.00am and arriving at Narita ard 4pm Japan time ie 3pm Singapore time. Was flying with Japan Airlines so i got to see Japanese air hostesses... haha but guys..dun start thinking stray. :P Just too bad the one serving my area was an auntie... the pretty wan was serving the other side!! argh!! wasted.. haha but then again..generally the air hostesses are very pretty(young ones i mean).... hehe

Uppon arrival in Narita airport, i went thru all the customs check etc... quite lost coz 1st time going thru an airport customs..not very sure how to fill in the embarkment/disembarkment card etc...(who know wat's "Alien registration certificate number"!!!) also... din know where to collect my lugagage until pointed out by my prof.. haha really felt like a sua ku guy.. :P After tat was a bus trip on the Airport Limousine from Narita to Shibuya...lasted for about 90 minutes and cost 3000 yen which is about 40+ sing dollar.....

After reaching shibuya.. the challenge begins... we had to find our way to the train stations... and it took almost 20+ minutes to find the place even though its just a few minutes away...and finding the correct train line entrance is another thing... this is where we were very lost... the station attendent apparently cant speak engl;ish and all he did was point n point .... in the end..had to make our own guesses.... but Shibuya is quite a busy place.. got to see lots of japanese in various dressings... haha...also got quite a few chio bu along the way la..kekek

So after some time, we found the rite station entrance... then comes the buying ticket part.. but surprisingly.. its not tat hard.. maybe its coz i'm smart? hahaha. After tat we boarded the train... only to find out after 3 stations.. that we've missed the station which we were supposed to alight and transfer to another train.... ow the hell am i suppose to know? the train map showed the stations are all in the same train line!! I nvr knew theres 2 type of trains, the express and the non-express!! Anyway, we finally managed to find our way and landed in the hotel....

But tat's not all... the 1st thing i do when i got ito my room was to set up my internet connection.... everything went fine.. iu got the connection, chatted with my family for sometime and then.. all of a sudden, everything went haywire..... the laptop hanged.. i switched it off and tried to restart it again....but!!!! the stupid darn laptop wont start! The power indicator lights were on..but the hard disk weren't operating..... i tried n tried... foir hours.... but to no avail... in the end, i gave up and went to have my early nite rest..(nth else toi doi...othing interesting on TV and was feeling abit tired...) so my first nite in tokyo was spent in sianness, frustration and fear(the laptop belongs to my fren!! how will i answer to her? ) ....

more to come for day 2 n on......
