Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Japan, PS3 and Wii!!!

WOW! I've just been two four different countries in a span of 23 days (across 2 months)! Go, me! LOL!

It all started when my grandma got me to tag along to an Asian cruise.

Walking down a street in Singapore


Malaysia from afar


Patong beach in Thailand


With my grandma in Thailand

We flew to Singapore, boarded the cruise ship there, and sailed our way to Malaysia and Thailand and back to Singapore.

Frankly speaking, I found my time on the ship BORING! I spent most of my time watching Battlestar Galactica, Grey's Anatomy, Desperate Housewives and Deadwood!

When I got back to the Philippines, my company sent me on a business trip to Japan 5 days later so that I can test my application there.


Now the trip to Japan was FUN!!! How can it not be?!!! It's JAPAN, fer cryin' out loud ^o^!!! It's the home of video games, Final Fantasy, Metal Gear Solid, manga and anime and other weird stuff. Yeap...I was one happy camper.



Now if only I had enough money to grab one of them PS3's. I was there when it launched, and saw the loooong lines of gamers waiting to get their hands on Sony's newest gaming monster ;)!



But then, I'd rather wait for the Wii! YUM!

Anywayz, I got to go to Akihabara, Shibuya, Shinjuku, Roponggi, Akasaka, Ginza and those other places I've probably forgotten to pronounce now @.@! Thanks to Faye for getting me through Tokyo's subway unscathed ^_^! Domo Arigatou, Faye-san :D!

Actually, natempt din ako bumili ng DS Lite when I was there ;)! But then I checked the price, and halos same na din here sa Philippines. Parang more or less mga 1k lang ang minura sa Japan! Also, medyo mahirap makipaginteract since most of them don't speaka Engrish :(! Haha! Ikaw, rotch, kayang-kaya mo dun! You speak excellent Japanese eh ^_^!

I didn't like Singapore when I was there, but I attribute that to us having to stick to such a tight schedule that I ended up totally bored and stifled.

I did get to buy a Singapore Airlines' stewardess outfit, which I wore to Greenbelt this Halloween. XD

Gabe my Dear!!

I am right now at the moment gathering my most beloved LJ friends' addresses - to send them Christmas cards. And you are on my top list, Dear.

I wonder if you could please drop me an email with your address at gryffindorknowitall@gmail.com - I won't ask for you address here on LJ - it's too personal in my opinion.

Please in the email, remember to write down your LJ nickname as well, so I know who you are :)


Lots of huggles,
Selina

Gabe that was awesome! Fun naman, four countries and you get to relax in the cruise ship. Saw that same mall in Singapore a few weeks ago. I was also there for a conference but I was not able to see most of the city, just the 24 hour mall. =)I'm a Shopaholic.

Japan is awesome. It must be cold at this time of the year.

Hugs,
tatcee
