There's no Japan trip this year for me because the budget has to be allocated for hometown trips (dad is getting old and in constant need of monitoring, so I need to chip in as well, as much as I can), but I'll be damned if I literally not going anywhere for my own sanity this year. Going back hometown (included the 5 hours minimum drive aka stuck in traffic horror) doesn't count for vacation because family quality time is not equal to relaxing and winding down time, and definitely it's not translated to 'me' time. It does translate to 'tummy is happy' time but that's a different story. Anyway, this year I decided that it's time to pay my due to visit Bali... after almost 30 years. I've been reluctant to go to Bali because the air ticket for that 2 hours flight from Jakarta is not cheap, and it's never cheap especially if you're flying direct from Singapore (add 200$ more and you got your ticket to Tokyo for goodness sake), and let's be real, you don't really want to go to Bali, alone, not worth the hotel (not even talking about resort here) and driver expenses. So, this year my brother volunteers to be my escort to my little excursion, hence the trip. We went for a 4 days 3 nights free and easy aka with no real agenda and solely relying on our driver's suggestions.

So, till next time, in Bali, I'll be sure to eat that nasi campur (mixed rice with tons of porky).

I just got back from my 10 days trip covering Osaka-Tokyo-Kyoto. It's tiring to do travelling where you need to move from 1 hotel to another, especially when your luggage getting heavier and heavier each time you move to the other place. I'm not the type who likes to go to so many places during one trip, hence it's more tiring for me doing this.

This time it's more on sight seeing and shopping, less fangirling as somehow the mood went down and laziness hit me after the 2nd day (a visit to Osaka castle on a sunny day with scorching sun was not a really fun idea, and I applaud those who's been queueing for NEWS con goods in front of Osaka Jo Hall 2 hours before the boot opened on the same day coz it's bloody freaking hot).

My itinerary was 2 days Osaka --> 4 days Tokyo --> 2 days Kyoto --> 2 days Osaka. I did cover all the things that I wanted to see in Osaka, and more than what I wanted to see in Kyoto, but I totally failed on Tokyo, blamed it to the malls and aircons LOL...

Pic spam and it'll be a very long one... )
