Cherating Getaway 2010

Another outdate post again....

This time is my Cherating getaway with my college mate during last year Dec.

Beach is much more cleaner compared to PD.

The chalet that we are staying is so-so only. Since this is a budget trip hence can't complain much. hahahahaha.

But if i can spend more $$$, definately I will go for Club Med instead. ;p

The trip is more like a relaxing cum makan trip.
Apart from those, we also when for Firefly cruise.
We also paln to visit the turtle scantuary, but too bad it was close due to public holiday.
No change to see those cute baby turtle jor. ;p

Taking about the Firefly Cruise, the hotel staff actually recon us to go for Hafiz.
Is just 5 mins walk from our chalet.
We gather at Hafiz's office cum house @ 8 pm plus.
Before we depart, he brief us on the do and don't,  fireflies and their ecosystem.
Luckily not a long lecture. If not ar sure die of boredom.
After half a hours, our cruise begin. U get to see those fireflies blinking here and there
like Christmas tree. Totally awesome.

Food wise not so much choice to choose from. Mostly Malay, Western  and seafood.
Can't find any Chinese food around.
In term of their service is super duper slowpoke especially the first restaurant that we when for dinner during the first nite. Almost mati kelaparan jor. T.T
Overall the food that we had during the whole trip is just so-so only. Not special to brag about.

Happy CNY

Me and my skull tatoo

Hakone

Our first destination after landed in Narita Airport is Hakone. Me and my colleagues are being transported to this beautful place for our lunch and sightseeing.

Oops, I know I'm not writing in sequence. But who cares, I wanna blog about my Nikko trip first.  :p .

Okie back to Hakone . . .divided between Mount Fuji and Izu Pennisula, Hakone is one of the most popular inland tourist resorts in Japan. It is accessable from Tokyo via JR & Odakyu line. Not to forget Express bus too.

Not sure how much it cost. Since I'm following tour bus hence I don't have to worries about transportation to Hakone. hehehe

It took us about 1 hours and 30 mins to reach Hakone.

View from the bus. Autumn is coming. 

Lake Ashi

Anyone wanna ride with me?

Lunch . . . .

The first thing we do in Hakone is makan (Eating time)

Lunch was nice, we had sakana (Fish), soba, rice and some other veg and fried stuffs together with plum wine.

Well the plum wine have this medicine taste. not really like it.

After eating is camwhore timing. . .hahaha

Self cleaning. MEOW~

Maple leaf changing colors

Autumn is the only season we can see tree is various colors.

Boat ride in Lake Ashi

After sightseeing and snapping photos around Lake Ashi, we are given a choice to either A) go to Gotemba for shopping or B) Owakudani a place where you can get a clear view of Mount Fuji on a clear days. It is also an active volcanic zone where sulfurous fumes, hot springs and hot rivers are also part of the ecosystem.

Well I choose the first option. TBC . . . .

Journey to Gotemba

The nature walk in Odashirogahara Plateau (Nikko)

Finally I'm back from Japan. LOVE it very much. 

Can't wait to go back again and again. lolz

Since this is a company trip, most of the place we are going I already been before. Except Ikebukuro and Tokyo Disneyland.

Hence, I decided to extended 2 more days in Tokyo and explore Kamakura and Nikko.

And there mark my journey to Nikko . . . . 

The train ride from Asakusa station to Tobu-Nikko

I decided to buy the All Nikko Pass so that I can explore all the tourist attraction in Nikko. 

I brought the ticket at Tobu sightseeing service center in Asakusa and it cost me about 4,400 yen and valid for 4 days.  

The pass included unlimited train ride from Asakusa to Tobu-Nikko and also unlimited bus ride to Yumoto-Onsen and Chuzenji-Onzen.

Took me about 2 hours to reach Tobu-Nikko.

In front of Tobu Nikko Station

When I step out from the station, I can feel the cold breeze.

Is super cold . . . . 

Most probably is approaching Winter soon.

Oh well nothing can stop me from explore Nikko. lolz

The hue of Autumn. Nice!!!!

You can see green, yellow, orange and red everywhere.

Bus Stop No 37 Akanuma

My first stop is at Akanuma. The way to Odashirogahara Plateau. 

The entrance to Odashirogahara Plateau

When you walk deeper and deeper into Odashirogahara Plateau, you will be mesmerise with the beauty of the plateau.

I will let the picture do the talking. . . :p

Yutaki Fall

The beautiful landscape of Odashirogahara Plateau 

The lone range

I'm amaze with the scenery

The RED maple leave with Mt Nantai as background

Maple leave here and there

The way to Chuzenjiko

So after exploring Odashirogahara plateau. My next stop is Chuzenjiko.

The fallen maple leave

The yellow leave

Didn't managed to explore much around Chuzenjiko, as is getting dark soon. 5 pm already as dark as 7 and 8pm in Malaysia. Sighz, didn't get to go to Kegon Waterfall, Ryuzu Waterfall, Shinkyo Bridge and all the Shrines in Nikko. 

Maybe I didn't research much before going to Nikko. Moreover, I got carry away with the scenery in Senjogahara plateau and spend quite sometime taking photos hence this affect my plan on visiting some other attraction in Nikko. T.T

1 day trip is definitely not enough for me. :p How I wish to extend my stay in Nikko but to bad need to catch the last train back to Minami Senju as I'll be flying back to Malaysia the following day. 

Really wish can go back to Nikko very soon. Wanna snap more nice pics. ;p

p/s: Remember to pee first before decided to conquer Odashirogahara Plateau because there is no toilet in between. :p

Me vs contact lens

I always have this phobia called EYEBALLTOUCHINGPHOBIA.
It always give me a goosebumps every time seeing a person putting on the contact lenses. The feeling of someone hand inserting something in the eye really scared me off.

That why all this while I never use contact lenses.

 I'm more like a specky guy. :p

But hor, I think I don't look good wearing spec. Therefore I tend to take off my glasses when taking photos.

Hum,Everytime do that also not a good solution cause once I took off my glasses my vision become very the blur. sighz. If only i got money to do laser. hahahaha

Anyway the cheapest ways now to look good without glasses is to wear a pair of cons. Hence in order for me to do that, I need to overcome my fear.   :P

So now I need to get myself a pair of cons first.

Luckily Acuvue is currently having this free trial thingy. wakakaka (evil grin)

Hope the process of putting on  and removing the cons is not that hard. Finger cross!!!

Tattoo, Wohoo!!!

I always wanted to have a tattoo.
But then right I'm afraid of the pain . . . I heard people fainted during the process of tattoo~ing.
Some more what happen if I already tattoo and after few years later I decided to remove it. Sure very troublesome and more pain again. hahahaha

Humm, I still want to have a tattoo . . .

Then one day when I was reading some blogger posting, I stumble across this website

http://tatt.ly/

Is a temporary tattoo store . . .

1 tattoo cost about $5 (set of 2) and if international shipping you need to add an additional $2.

Well I think is still affordable lah.









































SUPER COOL TO THE MAX!!!!

No need to worried about pain jor. hahaha.

So I faster go order lor. KAISU mah. ;p

I wait and wait and wait

After few weeks, my parcel arrived safe and sound. phew~
























They even give me one extra tattoo (the skull) for FOC
LOVE their service.
:) :)

Of course I also can wait to try it on.

Application also quite simple.

1. Remove the clear top sheet
2.Press the tattoo with design facing down and wet it thoroughly.
3. Use a wet cloth against the back of tattoo and after 30 mins peel off the paper backing.
4. Then rinse the tattoo with water

Check out the end result . . . .


















Too bad the tattoo can only last for a week.

Of course depending on how u take care of it. I bet if you don't bath or scratch the tattoo definitely it  can last longer. ;p
