1. The Enchanted - Rene Denfield
The audience
Tuesday, January 17, 2012
On 26 October 2011...

This is the most memorable and interesting day of my entire life.

As AYL, I was entitled to have an audience with the TIH Prince and Princess Akishino at their residence. Our audience was held for around one hour. The NLs, YLs and AYLs were given 30 minutes to interact with the royal couple. Meanwhile we were served some Japanese crystalised sweets and drinks. It's amazing to find out that Princess Akishino were once a participant of SSEAYP! The interesting fact we found out about the prince is he likes rooster. =)

Later in the afternoon, we had an audience with the Prime Minister of Japan, Yoshihiko Noda, in his residence. The building was impressive. It looks more like an office rather than a house. I guess where we met is the reception area.

You can read our meeting here. Unfortunately, I'm not in the picture, but my NL and YL were. Aiya!

Spinoff: I was so exhausted that I slept throughout my journey to the residences. Surprisingly, both residences are very near to each other and it's just around 20 minutes drive from the hotel we were staying!

My Japanese friends were impressed that I got to meet such high level people for normal citizens don't even have such chance!

Jalan-jalan (goofing)

On 25 October 2011 ...

The contingent had free time in the afternoon since other contingents have not arrived. We were pretty grateful to be the second group to arrive in Japan in the morning.

I actually didn't plan to be adventurous because I dislike visiting places with such limited hours. Our contingent members were free to hang around the hotel, but we MUST return for meeting by 10.30 pm. And I only had like approximately 5 hours to chill? Nah ...

I was planning to venture alone until two members tag me along. I was reserved, but in the end I tagged along. Why wanna waste such opportunity?

There's a subway near the hotel, and we took it to Shinjuku! It is just 3 stations away from our hotel. And I was so excited!!! Shinjuku! One of the happening places in Japan!

We walked around with one of the member's fianc�e. It's very cool! There were a lot of people, and we definitely went food hunting. I guess we were somehow spoilt with choices or the prices, we didn't eat much. We just ate bits and pieces from here and there.

What I love is the endless small lanes. I love walking in those lanes to see the small businesses and marvelled at the design and architecture.

Guess what I saw? I saw GRANIPH! It's one of my favourite online t-shirt stores from Japan! I have always wanted to buy a tee but never had the chance because they don't accept paypal. Somehow the tees that I like online were not in the shop and vice versa.

Anyhow, I was spoilt with choices as well as the prices. They are quite expensive, and I regretted for not buying two tees! I ended up only buying one. >.<

Here's the front design and below is the back.





It was awesome! I love the tee! I bought it for 2500 Yen. >.<

Blow out
Saturday, January 14, 2012
My colleague and I had a good laugh during one of our team building activities today. We were required to blow balloons and tie it to our leg. He and I tried to blow several times yet no result. We only managed to expand it by only one breath! And we could not continue for the air not entering into the balloon. So we thought there was something wrong with our lungs. It was a good laugh by the way. We had to ask the group leader the balloons for us.

This is what I hate to share with you all. Since I'm alone in the room, I saw something moving from one table to behind the tv cabinet. I immediately called up the operator and they sent over a maintenance guy to check out what's behind the cabinet and found nothing.

What the hell?! God, pls let me have another good night sleep! As usual, I'm gonna sleep with all lights on with tv in addition. Sorry earth, I'm just scared to sleep alone tonight.

Friday, January 13, 2012
I'm now at the beach for the next few days. I get to listen back to the waves and makes me recall back the activities I had on Fuji Maru last year. How time flies.

I was supposed to have roommates, but somehow I got abandoned TWICE. Both don't want to stay with me. How sad! And I'm going to be alone in the huge hotel room.

Wish me all the best.

Angel
Thursday. 1.12.12 10:30 am
I love this song. Have you read the lyrics?

It's the soundtrack to Yasmin Ahmad's movie "Talentime".



Angel
I have a dream of you I can't defined
You've been on my mind
Don't go
I feel lost without you by my side
Lost and on my own
Yeah I'm falling for an angel

Angel
Your brightest star is shining next to mine
Every night and day
You know
Stars exploded then they fade away
Then they fade away
Yeah I'm falling for an angel
Yeah I'm falling for an angel

Would you please be my babe
Come by and I lay you down
I'm loving when you say I love you too

Won't you please be my honey
I'm sorry that I let you down
Your eyes are breaking my heart in two
Break my heart in two

Angel
May the one above us keep you safe
Every night and day
If he knows
How I love the smile all on your face
When you are here to stay

Yeah I'm falling for an angel
Yeah I'm falling for an angel

Fireworks

All the PYs had a farewell reception, and the Vietnamese youth were dancing to send us off! I really love the youth's energy!

Later, homestay buddy and I brought my host mum and sister around the ship. My host mum was already crying, and I was hugging her and repeatedly tell her we will definitely keep in touch, though she doesn't understand English. BWAHAHHA.

When we threw our ribbons from the ship, my host sister cried, and my homestay buddy has to console her via phone.

AHH!! How I'm gonna miss my host mum and kawaii sister! Will surely be back to Vietnam!

Spinoff: I jumped with joy when I opened my farewell gift given by my host sister. It's a reindeer hairband!!!! AHHH!! She remembers what I wanted!

Sincerely apologise for the cut-off video!
