I'm leaving in 15+ hours...and I am ExcitEd!

Leaving for Japan in about 15 hours time.... departing from Changi Airport, Singapore to Narita Airport in Tokyo, Japan...early morning flight... so we are going to stay over in the airport tonight.. leaving NUS around 10pm... setting off for Changi Airport... but will only get to check in around 4+am.. which leaves us about 5+ hours to loiter at the airport... haihz...

will reach Tokyo at 2+pm (local time) and proceed to the hotel which is at the heart of the city... anyway, the subway (is that what it's called? the Japanese "MRT") cost 1000yen from the airport to the city... -__- expensive... then we will spend a "free-and-easy" night in Tokyo!

will be going to Ginza area and maybe walk around the city and experience the spring night of Tokyo... pls don't rain! x(>_<)x weather forecast says it will rain in the day i think... haihz... 5-6 out of the 7 days we are there will be rainy days... how to play in Disneyland?! how to go sight-seeing?! so, please don't don't rain! and it will be super cold if it rains.. :`(

The next day, we will be performing at elementary schools.. 2 of them.. we will be having guests..and Mr Yasuo Watani will be performing with us.. Mr Watani is a leading chromatic harmonica soloist who also teaches chromatic harmonica at the Hohner Konservatorium, Trossingen, Germany... and he had been performing with the NUS Harmonica Orchestra on several occasion including our annual concert Soiree 2006.... and we are very pleased to have him hosting us in Japan! Then it's more tour around Tokyo...


i think the sceneries there will be very nice! Argh! I don't have my own camera! my friend said i should have one of my own.. cause i'll be so tempted to take so many pictures.. and all i could do now is wait for my friends to take pictures... m(>_<)m Erm..then we will leave for Kyoto on Tue (?)... not too sure cause i misplaced my itinerary.. which is super bad..especially when i have to write a 1000-word report of the trip when i am back in Singapore.. for the uni magazine for promotion of the Harmonica Orchestra.. @_@ anyway, we will have "free-and-easy" again in Kyoto.... we will spend 2 days there and i really hope we can get to see geisha! from what i read, if we go to Gion district in the early evening, we will get to see geishas setting out... great!

then it's back to Tokyo... by the way, we will be taking the bullet train to Kyoto and back..and the bullet train tickets cost a lot!

but it's a once in a lifetime experience i guess.. unless i get really rich next time, and i will certainly go to Japan again! (whoa..saying this even before i step into Japan... so sure that i will like Japan..hahah..) just like i always missed the time i was in Hong Kong... i think Hong Kong is a very nice place to visit... will surely go back when i have the money...

we will not be visiting Mount Fuji too..cause we heard that the mountain looks best from afar.. haha.. hot spring? don't know..maybe..the others are not too keen i guess..

We will have an exchange with the Harmonica Society of Waseda University.. will perform about 5 songs there and hopefully interact with the undergrads! ^_^ hopefully our performance is okay..cause the Japanese are really good at playing the harmonica...

On Friday, we will be going to Tokyo Disneyland! for the whole day! yes! can't wait!

On Saturday, we will be visiting the Tombo Factory that makes harmonica.. our alto horn harmonicas are from this factory.. we will get the chance to talk to the CEO of the company and tell him what can be changed on the alto horn harmonica to make it as versatile as the chromatic harmonica... haha.. i don't know what i'm going to ask..

leaving Japan via Narita Airport again..towards Changi Airport, Singapore... will reach Singapore at 1.20am (local time)....

this marks the end of the most wonderful week in my entire life (to date)...

all the photos above are not taken by me lar... I am still waiting for the time to come to leave Singapore... will be heading to the airport in 6.5 hours time.... now is napping time... cause will be "sleeping" in the airport tonight.. most probably is "bridge" til the time to check in..

updates once i'm back.. unless i get to go online in Japan... ^_^
