these are Day 8's activities in time order (of course the time are approximate lah), starting from 05:30 until 04:00(+1), a continuous and tiring 22½ hours!! maybe i can say that my trip was 9 days instead of 8 huh?? :D 05:30 Wake up and last minute luggage packing 06:30 Beef rice for breakfast at Matsuya (松屋) [Photo] 07:21 Depart for New Chitose Airport (新千歲空港) by train 09:50 Flight GK180 take-off for Nagoya (名古屋) 11:35 Arrived at Chūbu Centrair (中部国際空港) Airport [Photo] 12:00 Lunch and last-minute souvenirs shopping in airport [Photo] 17:35 Flight D7543 take-off for Kuala Lumpur 23:45 Arrived at Kuala Lumpur International Airport 2 00:45 (+1) After immigration and baggage, left KLIA2 for KL 01:45 (+1) Arrived in KL city, supper as late dinner for the famined 03:00 (+1) Home sweet home after many days 04:00 (+1) Sweet dreams after a nice shower and a bit of unpacking |

This is so so so cool!!! I like your layout template today!! It's so processional
ReplyDeleteEh, accidentally click publish!!!
DeleteThe last day seems like so tired, reached around 4am then bet the time you go to bed is around 5am lo...(5am is the time for me to wake on weekdays) so later on you slept until what time?
Ya I agree, very high-end design, got time capsule somemore, just the word time capsule already attracts my attention! And it's simple and straight forward, haha, saya suka!
DeleteSalute SK's creativity!
Hello Sheta,
DeleteToday the interactive part like you said is really unique. It appears line by line without us needing to click them individually. hahaha, this SK is really creative, can think of so many different types of layouts and design UI to entertain us. He even uses the word time capsule to describe this unique UI.
Hello Hayley,
DeleteI agree with you, SK is so creative! He should be working in the advert industry. :)
Haha high 5 mun!
Deletei guess everyone is already bored with the rather standardized layout of the travelogue, so something new could probably excite a little huh?? hehehe.. but then i think same applies to too many interactive elements, though seems interesting in the beginning, but later sure people will get bored about it one day.. things are always impermanent i believe :p
DeleteGood morning dear bloggers, and happy Friday! Yay!
ReplyDeleteWait, did I read or click wrongly? Or maybe I miss out some words or instructions or points..
“Tit ngan keng” (eyeglass drop) wor, “yau kam tuin” meh? (so short?).. I must be dreaming..
Wait, let me read your post again.. *scrolls up and click again*
Ya wor, guess I'm right, your post is short, nice, straight to the point and very cool, I like!
DeleteI like your format this time wor.. Wah, macam-macam.. Now got "scriptease", I love it.. Sekali all come out, no need click and read..
Confession: If click, sometimes if the news not juicy, not syiok pulak.. But if no click, like very bad, coz nampak macam wana skip everything only, kan?
This scriptease is really good wor.. I very like wor.. Have you done it before? Coz you mention "... go back to my scripteasing, my favourite"... Means pernah buat? Maybe I forgotten kua.. But like Sheta said, this is so cool cool cool..
DeleteBut frankly, yeah, day8 has nothing much to write about, coz mostly is rushing to the airport (coz you got 2 flights to catch, yes?), then grabbing something fast to eat, and by the time you touched down, already soooooo late, takkan wana snap pictures at 4am in the morning meh, kan.. Sure wana zzzzz and hit the sack jor..
DeleteYou mentioned beef rice for breakfast, but you didn't mention what lunch and supper wor.. So what lunch you had jek? Lunch at the airport - must be some kinda fast food.. I thought there would be pictures button for me to click at the side there, but eh, no wor.. No pictures pun...
DeleteWah, SK, I wana puji you today..Wana puji you until "got sky no ground".. I love you so much today for this post.. It's really cool, something different, and I feel very "shue fok" (comfortable) to comment leh.. No need feel pressure or "dunno-wat-to-type" feeling *I'm very straightforward one ha*
DeleteYou really understand your readers, I love you..
By the way, I clicked "LOVE" liao for this post..
DeleteI'd click a million times if the system permits :)
Same with Princess Ribbon, i also clicked "LOVE", hehe...
DeleteGood Morning Happy Bloggers! I clicked "LIKE" so that 2 ladies could love him plenty. Anyway he is my smart Thambee. Anay so impressed with this post, always something to drop my jaw each morning. Good exercise for my jaws too.
DeleteThis HTML for today is so unique and the first of its kind in this universe. I have never seen any blogger having such a sophisticated blog like this one http://sk0617.blogspot.com/ !!!!
Now I also puji SK until "Got Sky No Ground" and sure his tail is wagging happily like cows. Wakakaka..!
DeletePrincess, why tit ngan keng? Haha! Yala don't doubt, that's all about today's post, I mean good also la, since it's Friday, no need to stress ourselves, something simple and straight forward for us~
DeleteAgreed with Hayley. Princess, post short good mah ... no need to stress. It's weekend, time to wind down. Give SK break too to spend time with FF aka Aden .... opps... hehehe
DeleteI agree with everyone here that SK is so creative here but I like his long, long posts also. Did SK just add the photo for the lunch at the Nagoya airport? How come Princess Ribbon says no photo for lunch?
DeleteChrisAu, LOL, wake up lo, FF is FF, Aden is Aden la! ;))
Deletesince everyone likes short posts, then i also don't need to write so much lor.. instead of spending couple of days to write one detailed travelogue, might as well just spend a couple of hours to write a post like this one.. haha!! :D
Delete22 1/2 hours!!!
ReplyDeleteWow!
Must've burnt a lot of calories. LOL
And also very very tired I am sure... All day just inside the plane...
DeleteI read and imagine his long journey home and I also feel very tired after visualizing it.
Deleteerrr, where got calories to burn while most of the time sitting?? muahahahaha.. maybe i should have dilly dally there for 1.5 hours more to make it up to 24 hours.. :D
DeleteHow long will the next post be, I wonder? Hehehe
ReplyDeletesince most of the readers actually appreciate short posts more, perhaps i should do Twitter or Weibo style blogging in the future.. 140 characters limit!!! muahahahaha~~ :D
DeleteGood morning SK
ReplyDeleteyikes....final post you want make us as tired as you when you cities hopping ah? so many things to click click leh......
No need click click click la, just a few only ma! Hehe~
DeleteMamarazzi sees the time capsules she terus pengsan because she thought need to click one by one, mana tahu no need to click, it will reveal itself capsule by capsule after just one click, right, Hayley?
DeleteHehe, may be Mamarazzi just woke up so din't read carefully yet! xD
Deletei am not so cruel that i need you all to click on each and every one of those lah.. just one click to show all~~ :D
Deletei am mistaken....no clicking ya....eh very pandai with the time thingy leh.....but hor....the strip tease can make it move slower or not? too fast la...tarak umph leh :p
ReplyDeleteAh, now Mamarazzi realized no need to click one by one but that the capsules will reveal themselves one by one, hour by hour. I also cannot read fast fast so have to replay a few times and click on the photos a few times because the photos also won't stay there for long, sekejap disappear, the photos are so shy, show a while then disappear and we gotta click on the photo link again.
Deletejust one click to show everything automatically lah.. and why Mun you need to replay?? that's no need to do so, the animation thing is just a presentation, you see everything once the animation finished running..
DeleteYes, I see all the words when the animation finished running but for the photo links beside the words, after I click it, the photo will show for less than 1 minute and it will close again/disappear again and I will need to click the photo link again because 1 minute is not enough for me to study the photos leh. This comment is left in this old post so will SK be reading this? ;p
Deletebetul or not ah....you really perfectionist ah....record till the very minute of the activity...7.21am depart for New Chitose Airport? got record the seconds or not :p...hhaha...joking la
ReplyDeleteHaha, SK memang a detailed person ho? Very 'sai sam', who become his gf sure lucky la! ^^
Deleteaiyah, of course approximate time only lah.. :D
Deleteoh local flights over there also have to arrive at the airport 2 hours early ya. Not like here arrive an hour early
ReplyDeleteBetter be early than miss the flight. Mana tahu, got unforeseen things pop up and miss flight, then susah.
Deletei cannot remember already, but then better be there earlier lah when it comes to taking flight.. had many times experience just buffer enough time and then gotta rush like hell leh~~
Deletethat is a long wait leh...12pm to 5pm plus baru fly. cant do much shopping in the airport also, right? nanti luggage overload
ReplyDeleteNot that long lah. 5 hours ok lah. This must be the closest flight available or SK has factored in the time for possible delays for the flight from Hokkaido to Nagoya.
Deletehaha, really had a lot of time in the airport doing last minute shopping.. and then of course all hand carry already lah, if shopping inside airport they don't care that much one..
DeleteI dont understand the +1 part.
ReplyDeletehahaha one thing super good about KL is that the city never sleeps. 24 hours sure can fund things to eat one. Not scared of kebuluran
You mean the 04:00 (+1)? That means next day, am I right SK?
DeleteHaha ya wo, if can find those 24 hours mamak store sure no need to starve, or those 24 hours McD/KFC, hehe~
If not , instant noodles lor.. Furthermore, he had too much good food already in Hokkaido.
DeleteHayley is right, +1 means the next day. I wonder what SK ate for supper here and where did he eat it.
Deleteyeah, the (+1) means the next day already, next time if you see this in your flight tickets then you'd understand lor.. errr, we actually walked past the night before and know this shop opens 24 hours, so already planned to had our early breakfast there..
Deletesupper?? aiyoh normal KL hawker food lah, nothing to blog about also wat.. i am not a foodie, remember?? :D
Good morning bloggers ! Yeah that was a cool ending to the series. Yes , I am sure you did have a great time in your vacation. Even while reading your 13 posts , I felt like having a vacation there oo .... Hahah. ..... there's so much details and pixs there. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteGood evening/night to you too!
DeleteReally want to thank SK for sharing. After reading all his posts on this lovely Hokkaido trip, I felt like I have been there too. No need to spend money on flight and hotels but already know how the places are like already.
hahaha, i actually enjoyed writing the travelogue too because there were a lot of post-trip research i did and i gotta know more about the places i went.. hope you really are enjoying the posts and not being exhausted, haha~~ :D
DeleteSo, are you planning to go back there again in the future ? Or maybe you can try visiting other places in Japan like the honshu region. My friend got hooked after his maiden trip to Japan and he went again the following year. Haha....
ReplyDeleteChris. .. funny la you.
DeleteYou suggest he go to Honshu but you realised that he already visited Tokyo, Osaka & Kyoto already? Those cities are on the island of Honshu what.... lol
Adoi! Adoi! This sotong Chris banyak makan sashimi until grow ulat. SK has covered Honshu Island long ago before you were born lah. Wakakakaaka Muahahahaha Just kidding ok bradder...
DeleteIn case you dunno how Honshu Island looks like, can look here http://www.mykp.co.uk/overview-of-japan/honshu/
Alamak.... I didn't know mah ...hahaha...
DeleteOK, then go Korea ... Jeju Island!!!
Alamak. This high flier SK has never even been to Taiping yet. Faints!
DeleteSK never been to Taiping eh! Kesian-nya, if SK makes a trip to Taiping, just a phone call to Yannie, Yannie will cancel all other things, including gym and gather all 太平四大博客天后 to take SK to Casual Market, Port Weld Seafood, Antong Coffee, and etc, etc. Hehehe!
DeleteYannie, haha yea agree, sacrifice the gym session also nvm la ho? Cause SK VVIP is here ma!
DeleteI also don't mind leaving my naughty boy to my mum in law and go 'yeng chau' SK geh, xD
Too bad la I think SK no plan coming to Taiping.....
hahaha, i have been to just Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto in Honshu only.. but Honshu is such a big piece of land i guess there are still a lot of places that i can explore..
Deletesame same lah.. this Twilight Man flew to so many places and countries, and yet he has not been to Taiping to meet up with the Taiping Blogging Queens!! if he goes there, all must roll red carpet to welcome the Tan Sri lah~~ :p
It really seems a long and tired day for you on the trip back. You have to transit from one flight to another before taking the proper flight back to kl. And it seems a 5 hour journey !! I am sure you have some withdrawal symptoms when back home. Heart still in sapporo though the body is back. Lol
ReplyDeleteHaha, usually this happens one after we come back from vacation, must take 1-2 days in order for the 'soul' to come back, but at least if no jetlag then ok la, else very headache lo! Imagine one suffers from jetlag and still need to drag the body to go to work... Hoho! >.<
DeleteYa lor...usually that's the case after a vacation. The mind still thinking of that place while the physical body is back. Its like the soul still drifting there.
Deletethe flight from Nagoya back to KL is about 7 hours, and yeah, i really hate flying actually, somemore AA without entertainment and food onboard, haiz.. but then okay lah, not really that tired, maybe our trip wasn't as rush..
Deleteso they say, you need more days to recover from your holidays than what you have spent on holidays :D
Usually i start packing the day before, as i'm always taking my own sweet time in packing...
ReplyDeleteHahaha, TM is even better, he packs his bags 2 days before leaving as mentioned in his comment below.
Deleteof course gotta start packing the day before, what i mean for the last minute packing is just those minor stuffs.. i won't dare to do a major packing the very last minute :p
DeleteI like this post! So easy and direct to comment without having to click so many buttons until my fingers all pendek!! Muahahaha
ReplyDeleteSK's posting always got more buttons than my office shirt ~ Remember?? I like buttons!
05:30 - I never dare to pack my luggage on the day of my departure as I would always have sleepless nights the day before so I must pack them all 2 days before I fly anywhere or return home. At least I put them all in order and right places so that I will not have stress.
Delete06:30 - That was an early breakfast!!! My tummy would still be asleep.
Delete07:21 - How come it was 21 minutes instead of 07:20?? So how did you guys head back to airport this time - train?? The word Chitose reminds me of Chitosan which is a popular ladies supplements for weight reduction.
Delete09:50 - What airlines was GK180? I assume it was JetStar lah.
Delete11:35 - So fast you arrived Chubu Centrair. I bet that saved your time instead of train hopping.
Delete12:00 - So my souvenirs came from this airport??? Just kidding! I love the shops at the train stations and airports in Japan. They don't tag them too expensive at all.
Delete17:35 - That was a long 5 hours wait! Goodness! I would have gone to soak at the airport onsen!
Delete23:45 - Welcum home Thambee & Fing Fing! Did you shop again at KLIA2? I bet you did.
Delete00:45 - You managed to hop onto the last train out before 01:00!!!!
Delete01:45 - Ate again some more!!! Adoi! You must have missed the Teh Tarek and Roti Tisu!!
Delete03:00 - Awwwww! Burung Hantu got to sleep finally at wee hours. I would have skipped the supper and headed to my bed.
Delete04:00 - Waaah! Some more do a bit of unpacking! You so auntie la!! Muahahaha I would have snored Zzzzz without changing into pyjamas!
DeleteThank you for sharing your private diary!
Haha, well, a bit of unpacking cannot be avoided la! I mean you need to take out those toiletries also ma, and may be dump out those smelly clothes first =)
DeleteYerrr....Anay likes buttons, Aany is talking about the sensation show on Cruise eh! Big big buttons. oh lala!
DeleteBack to the topic, I like today SK's interactive post. I love reading this type of post too, tell me precisely the time SK eats, plays, showers, packs, pees,poos and sleeps.
Hello everyone,
DeleteThe trip back is really so long after adding in the waiting time from flight 1 to flight 2. I am like TM, will not eat supper but go home directly to sleep, I don't think will have energy to unpack too, unlike Hayley.
Hahaha, now that Yannie mentioned it, what time did SK takes his toilet breaks I wonder, during the flight or in the airport while waiting or early early before checking out?
yeah, no long paragraphs and buttons to show and and that, surely everyone likes the straight forward posts.. but then i find it hard to strike a balance lah.. write too brief then everyone complains how come so short no details.. when put in more details then everyone starts to complain i am being so long-winded.. in that case, better just do short posts or nothing at all lah, hahahaha~~
Deletetoilet breaks?? who ever would be interested to know?? even myself won't be able to remember and won't bother to write about those lah, hahahahaha!! :D
Yeah, travel time usually counts as one day, sometimes two in a travel itinerary.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tour. Good to know you enjoyed your holiday.
Great scripting, as always. :D
Tour agencies will definitely count the travel time as part of the trip to make it sound as if the trip is very long so very worth it for the price paid.
Deletenow that i understand how they calculate those 9D6N kind of trips, i mean a big difference between the day and night, because i always thought day and night come in pair~~ :D
DeleteOh, I thought it would be a summary of all the traveling days and when I clicked, I wanted to gawk... wahhhh...this fella is really Canggih la! Made so easy for us by just clicking and we know your every move for the day... hahahaa... Really spent the whole day by flight back to home sweet home, ya... and I am sure you are happy to be back in Malaysia too.. tell me, were you really glad to be back in Malaysia? For me, no matter how many times I travel, when I landed or when I reach home, I feel kind of relief and happy to be back to our mother land again... :)
ReplyDeleteHaha this is for sure la Claire, for me also the same. When we are able to arrive back home safe and sound, it's a true blessing, we are back to our loved ones and most importantly, our only stinky pillow and bed, LOL!
DeleteFor me, sometimes during the end of the trip, I am already tired and wishing to be home again.
Deletesummary?? the first overall preview was already a summary lah.. furthermore, i better don't continue writing any more posts lah, else i'd be cursed more by most of the readers here.. i knew, i just knew, muahahaha!! :D
DeleteUsually the last day of a trip is very 'long' and boring one, I encountered that a lot of times, also kinda rush, usually have to wake up earlier, to double check the packing of the luggage, then rush to airports, if need to transfer one, lagi lah mafan. Like your case I see a few airports in your last day, LOL!
ReplyDeleteUsually that's it la. For me, last day means no shopping one, unless at the airport, but what can you buy at the airport right? Probably just chocolates and perfumes, the rest like souvenirs all not worth buying la, very expensive, unless if you have forgotten to buy something for someone then no choice, die die also have to buy a bit.
Last day usually is getting up early, rush to the airport, linger around and board the plane. And most significant thing is the mix of feeling, happy cause can go to our home sweet home and smell our bed/pillow! Sad cause we are bidding farewell to the trip, and have to go back to reality become 'ku lei' again >.<
So indeed a very long and tiring day for you all! But glad to know that it was a great trip, at least despite the tiredness, you guys came back safe and your mind are loaded with lots of wonderful memorable memories!
Yes I have to be very honest, I am truly happy your Japan travelogue has come to an end! Erm don't misunderstand ar, I love to read your travelogue! Just that lately I am being very busy and no time to read each post thoroughly, I am very far behind at commenting actually, I was thinking if SK's travelogue still got a few more posts to go then I will be even at the back! Homeworks seems like cannot finish already! Not that I am concern about spamming and the number of ranking, I just don't wanna miss any single post of your interesting travelogue.
Can get beef rice also ok la, since it was still so early, can find something to eat consider lucky liao. May be this kinda of restaurant is cater for tourists who needs to travel early like you all.
DeleteThose cat figurines at the Chubu Centrair are cute! From big to small, kawaii! If for me sure go and take photos with them, haha!
Opps, too bad the lunch at the airport is not good, you somemore use the word 'finally', haha! But thinking at the bright side, at least this was the only bad taste you guys had during the trip, while the rest were all nice!
But cannot demand for more la, usually food at the airport is no good one, and expensive some more leh!
But the time you arrived home is quite odd already, people almost wake up but you were just about to sleep, hehehe!
Hello Hayley,
DeleteI am surprised to see you here so early after this has been posted because I know that you have been very busy lately. Good that you found the time to relax a bit and drop by to comment but also no need to stress lah, if really busy just drop a one liner here and I believe SK will be very happy too.
Hi mun,
DeleteYea, I got some times on my own yesterday so I quickly came comment lo, plus this post is short and straight forward so I no need to think so much and can comment right away already.
yeah, indeed a very long day.. 22.5 hours, perhaps i should have dilly-dally for another 1.5 hours to make it up to a complete 24 hours, hahaha.. and that was why i wonder, if my trip is actually a 9-day of 8-day?? if travel agency, sure count it as 9 days already..
Deleteyeah yeah yeah.. i think it's a good news to everyone that this almost evergreen series of travelogue finally draws the curtain.. a two month long of torturing both myself and my readers, hahahaha!! maybe i should have split the posts across a 6 months period, then it won't turn out to be so bad, hehehehehehe~~ but the pro is of course, i do not have to scratch my head to think of what topic to write, straight away i just continue with my trip :p
I am sure know how SK felt at 23:46. He started to miss Hokkaido at 23:46, miss the trip, miss the fun, miss the place and miss the food. Right, SK? Usually when I went for a trip, I started to miss the place i visited the moment I reached home.
ReplyDeleteI am not sure whether SK and the rest think the same.
Hello Yannie,
DeleteI am really old already because I can't remember whether I miss the place I visited the moment I reached home for my last trip less than 6 months ago. All I remember is during the last few days overseas, I am too tired already and wish to be at home in my own bed.
errrr, i guess was too tired to miss my trip also, and furthermore i think still in a holiday mood and have not really adjusted myself yet, haha!! having that said, sometimes we started to miss the holiday, but sometimes towards to end of our holiday, we kind of miss home too~~ :D
DeleteExcellent travelogue posts and love them very much. Now Bananaz may have to hold on his traveling post for it may be too simple unless can learn scriptease at super speed haha. *giving lame excuse for not posting new entries* haha.
ReplyDeleteHahaha, I visit your blog now and then and keep seeing the flying post. No wonder, now I know why.
Deleteto each their own style wat, why need to compare dei?? put your bananas come, Bananaz~~ :D
DeleteSo when is your first scriptease class targeting to strip off? ;),
ReplyDeleteWah, you asking for free tutorial kah?
DeleteOne container of bananas for a year's tutorial OK kah?
DeleteToo little , too much or ngum ngum hoe? SK sure go bananas but then again FF will be so happy.
Deleteaiyoh, eat too much bananas later kena go to toilet more often and disrupt the class lah.. give cash will do lah, muahahahaha!! :D
DeleteGood evening SK and everyone here,
ReplyDeleteHave a good weekend! I read once and click the slow revealing one line by one line. Then click the photos. But need to replay to digest properly. I will be back. :)
Good morning mun!
DeleteYay, wishing everyone a happy weekend too!
Mun, you don't really have to replay because you won't see anything extra during the animation.. it's just a transition for the display of the contents you are seeing now.. :p
Delete咁多日嘅行程我最中意第八日！哈哈哈哈~~~~
ReplyDelete我都深知呢個係最受歡迎的一篇~~ :D
Delete開玩笑啫，其實北海道寫一世都唔會厭。
Delete既然講得出, 就表示有咁諗過啦, 哈哈!! 我明白嘅, 無所謂喎..
DeleteLOL showing off your HTML and Javascript skills again :D
ReplyDeleteYeah, I've experienced the pain of having nothing to eat for breakfast at early hours. Even Starbucks only open at 7AM..
You mean in Japan? Last time I was there, we live near 24 hours eatery that serves this kind of beef rice too. Choose which meal and pay and get a ticket from the kiosk and the food will be served after that.
Deletenot showing off, but if i still do like what i have been doing for the past 13 posts, everyone will just close the window within 2 seconds, haha!! but it's normal and i understand that people always started very excited and enthusiastic, but that won't last long.. :D
DeleteI usually pack last minute and that makes me excited too.
ReplyDeleteAfter the trip, I usually do unpacking before I go to sleep.
You are always so diligent to unpack before you go to sleep.
Deleteyes, once i reached home, i just cannot stand my smelly clothes still being kept inside the luggage :D
DeleteHello SK,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing in details for your Hokkaido trip. I like your long, long posts because I read them in order to know how to plan for my trip if ever I decide to go to visit Hokkaido so I feel no pressure wanting to faster finish reading the posts so that I can start to comment. I just read at my leisure and I am sure I will reread them again when the time is here for me to plan my trip.
thank you so much for your support Mun, truly appreciate your appreciation of my travelogue posts!! yeah, Hokkaido is actually a beautiful place.. i didn't have thought of going to Hokkaido before this, now i think it's a place worth going.. :)
DeleteYour time capsule says Beef noodles but the caption of the photo says beef rice. No worries, I guess some of you ate noodles and some ate rice. Is the beef rice like those served by Yoshinoya (used to be here but no more now).
ReplyDeleteooopss!! thanks for pointing that out, it was actually beef rice (gyudon), no idea why i typed noodles.. already corrected, haha!!
DeleteI also like to go to the airport early and when planning, I will also leave a large window before flight 1 arrival and flight 2 departure for connecting flights. So 5 hours of waiting is not an issue for me, in fact I like it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting us know about the city that produces the most cat figurines. Can go there if like to buy and see different cat figurines - Fortune Cat beckoning Wealth figurines must be the most popular ones.
What mode of transport - train (still running at that time?), bus or taxi or own car from klia2 to kl city? What supper did you eat and where? Guess must unpack those dirty clothes from the luggage before going to sleep or else molds may grow on them, hehehe.
Ya those cat figurines are indeed popular! Now every shops here also can see those cat figurines, big or small ;) My Aden even mimic the waving hands, haha xD
Deleteyeah, it better to buffer more time if you are taking a flight.. i've had a few time experience that i buffered just enough time, and end up rushing like hell.. not nice.. oh yeah.. the Fortune Cat, didn't knew the fact until i saw the signboard while waiting for our luggage at the carousel..
Deleteback to KL already and i'll skip all the details.. my focus is on Japan only, and i've learned from comments and feedback that i should keep things short and sweet, haha!! :)
Yes, let's celebrate for a very good and nice trip and all the posts that we have enjoyed reading. Not celebrate because the posts ended lah. Ok, good night.
ReplyDeletei celebrate this because i don't have to spend couple of days to write just one travelogue post anymore!! hahahaha~~ it's a relief to me actually :D
Deletewah, i come to visit you at midnight leh~
ReplyDeletestill awake so late in the wee hours, later got "those things" looking for you :p
DeleteAll good things must come to an end, eh? I find the trip coming back (though it is home sweet home) a bit draggy and not like the excitement of going there. But that is just me. Anyway, you had a great trip and I enjoyed reading your travels and adventures. Hopefully I get to go to Japan someday....
ReplyDeleteof course it would be exciting when you were leaving home for the holidays, and then coming back missing the place and thinking that "ah, gotta go back to work again".. i guess we all totally understand this kind of feeling~~ :D
DeleteI've enjoyed reading your write-up on this Japan trip, SK, and appreciate your putting in so much time writing the posts. P/S...I loved it whenever Fing-Fing put in an appearance :)
ReplyDeletethank you so much for "appearing" finally to drop a comment.. please continue to do so, that would really be a motivation for me and i surely appreciate that~~ :)
Delete8 days of japan trip seems like forever...but anyhow u hav covered a lot of places....and done lotsa shopping!
Deleteerrr, 8 days seems forever?? haha.. not enough time to even explore more places I wanted to.. and nope, no shopping done at all, I spent time on sight-seeing.. at least that's what I can control with DIY trip, if go on group your sure they bring you to shop a lot :D
Delete
