Japan Trip - Day 1

Finally, the day has come ... my trip to Japan, Tokyo, with Daddy and Mummy. And the best part of the 1 week trip is that half of the time, I will be spending at Disneyland and Disneysea !!!

We took the United Airlines to Narita Airport, and since the flight was at 710 am, we reached the airport at 515 am. 爷爷,奶奶 and 姑姑 came to fetch us to the airport, before they went to have breakfast at Changi Village.

We had our breakfast at the Star Alliance lounge.



On board of the plane, breakfast was served again ... and since Daddy ordered kid's meal for me, I had pancakes, bread and fruits. Finished the pancakes and some fruits, but left the bread for Daddy.

Took some water, then had a little nap for a while, before watching my favourite Toy Story 3 AGAIN !!!

Upon reaching Narita Airport, we bought the 2 day Metro pass, and also the train ticket to reach our hotel in Ueno district.

At the train station .... waiting for the train to be cleaned before boarding. Because the station was the last station, the train got to move back in the opposite direction. So the seats in the train were automatically turned to face the other way .... that was so cool, as we watched the entire action on the platform.

We managed to catch the 15:59 train, otherwise we would have to wait till 16:39 train.



Playing a fool with Daddy on board of the train ... trying to be baby kangaroo by snuggling into Daddy's jacket

Our train ticket

Finally we reached our hotel at Ueno district. Was drizzling so Mummy put me in the Ergo carrier while we took a 2 mins walk from the train station to the hotel.

The entire hotel room ... at a glance !!! Ha ha. The double bed (smaller than queen size bed) beside the working table beside it .... minimal walking space. But there was free internet provided (100 Mbps), so we can call back Singapore via Skype every night.

And the entrance to the room ... see Daddy almost touching the door frame !!!!

And the toilet ... small and compact, but with full facilities. The toilet has butt-washing facilities ... haha. But we never tried that.


While the hotel room was small, it came with complete facilities and amenities. Kimono pyjamas provided, a bar fridge, LCD TV and kettle etc ... best thing is, the hotel was just 2 mins from the station !!!

After putting down our luggage, we went for our dinner. It was still drizzling, so we went to the nearby shopping mall (0101 City) to look for a restaurant. Found one that served sushi (my favourite)

I ordered the kid's meal. But funny that the kid's meal served raw sushi (with raw tuna, salmon etc on top of the rice), so Daddy requested if they can make some cooked sushi. In the end, they used a fire of 300 degC and cooked the raw stuff for a little while ... and tada, my improvised kid's meal !!!



Yummy yummy !!!


And Daddy and Mummy also ordered a sushi set .... the filling on top of the rice was so big that they hid the rice completely !! So unlike Singapore, where you see rice rather than the filling. And the slice of tuna was so much thicker than that in Singapore

Fresh wasabi .... tasted different from what we usually had ....

Miso soup !!! Not salty at all !!!

Chawamushi .... very appetizing

But the best thing about my kid's meal is it came with free gummies !!!

And stickers. I told Daddy and Mummy that when I go back to school, I will give the stickers to my friends !!! This week happened to be talking about underwater world and the stickers were all about that .... so Mummy told me to ask 宋老师 to go through the names of the underwater creatures on the stickers with the class before giving those to all my friends

While looking around after dinner, we saw this interesting ramen shop that has this advertisement outside the shop ... cool



Went back hotel and slept at about 10 pm

Exercise - warm up time before the sports events began

Exercise with Daddy ... all the parents were asked to join in the warm up as well

The parents were supposed to be fire fighters to the rescue of all the little kids ... and imagine transferring Kaide from one end to the other .... not a simple task

Fishing game using magnets !!! And we were supposed to imitate walking like Munchy Mike Monster

Scooping the mini apples out of the water

Free Puppet Show at Suntec City

Went to Suntec City over the weekend ... and we had a pleasant surprise !!! There was a free puppet show there ... so Daddy, Mummy and I waited eagerly for the show to start.

The first puppet that he made (in fact, he made all the puppets himself, isn't that awesome). Super agile clown !!!

A highly talented creature which can play the keyboard, joined by his siblings and cousin

Elvis Presley ... the King of Pop !!! Really looked very real

The Middle East lady, who can seduce all men with her "No-body" dance .... hope all can figure out why she is called "No-body" ....

The inventor of Break-dance !! Literally, breaking up his body during his dance

Story-telling time, with just a pair of eye-balls ....

And the ending was really touching .... a story about a boy's dreams to fly .... so touching that Daddy forgot to record down .... in fact, the puppet boy can blow his own balloon !!! Bet there must be a air pumping device hidden underneath the clothes ....

Overall, the performer was really cool ... can manipulate all the strings to move the puppet and display all actions. I enjoyed my myself so much, that I laughed out loud throughout the show.

Can I Bring Him Along ?

Another week, Daddy, Mummy and myself will be flying off to Japan (Tokyo) for a week holiday. And of course, I am going to spend half of the time at Disneyland and Disneysea.

So instead of bringing stroller there, Mummy borrowed the baby sling from Kate's Mummy, so that I can sleep inside without going back to the hotel. However, I have grown much taller and heavier than before, so Mummy and Daddy wanted to try putting me inside and see if I still fit

However, I was more interested to put Fireman Fred inside and I carry him to Japan instead


So Daddy, Mummy, can I bring Fireman Fred along to Japan ??? He does not need an air ticket ....

Drama Queen

Daddy and Mummy really think I am a DRAMA QUEEN !!!



Ghost wah, of course drama lar !!!

My First Bank Account

Since 01 Oct is children's day and I do not have to go to school, Mummy decided to bring me to the bank to open my first (own) account !!! And where does the money come from ??

My little piggy bank, that I have been saving money inside ....


Everytime I get an angbao, it goes into the piggy bank. But my regular source of 'income' has to be every weekend when Daddy and Mummy goes to NTUC for their grocery shopping, I pocket the $1 coin that was used for the trolley !!!

Cannot reveal how much my piggy bank has earned me .... haha
