Sniff Sniff Christmas 2013

Driving to office on Nov 6, after the long weekend break to be greeted by this gorgeous Christmas tree...

#1 for my Christmas'03...time flies, does it not?!!!

The deco's still on-going...

Guessing the theme's became a routine, since I first started working here in 2010...

Curry House CoCo Ichibanya

We arrived at Shinjuku after a 85 mins journey from Narita International Airport via N'EX (Narita Express). Ohayo, Tokyo! Here we come...excited... 

Okaerinasai (Welcome Home) for the locals & Yokoso (Welcome) for the visitors

First thing first, we headed to the Odakyu Sightseeing Service Center at Shinjuku Station to collect the tickets for our Hakone package booked online. Next, it would be locating our hotel, BEST WESTERN Shinjuku ASTINA Hotel Tokyo. We were lucky enough to be volunteered by a kind Ojiisan, who accompanied us all the way from the station to the doorstep of our hotel UNDER THE HOT SUN.

We were too early for the check-ins, thus decided to wonder around while hunting for our first meal in Tokyo. Despite being an adventurous foodie, I suggested to embark our gastronomical journey by the humble and hearty Curry House CoCo Ichibanya, an all time favorite of mine.

恋上紫阳花 Falling In Love With Ajisai

“夏日炎炎，细雨绵绵”是我对咱6月末之行的初步想象。

因为工作关系，每每被问及“什么时候到访最理想？”，很官方的回答将是“X国，一年四季常年如画，无谓吉日良时。” 当然，卖梦的本人，并没有那么肤浅啦！一般都会很专业地通过简而精的谈话来给建议。。的确，除了地点，旅伴，旅费之外，天气确实是许多人的主要考量。而身为赤道国之女的我们，对于夏天，还真的没有北国的朋友们那么迫切期待。

重游日本，是个很impromptu的打算，大概是在为咱的男人庆生的那一天开始萌芽的想法，后来再因一时之气，做下的决定吧！老实说，到登机的那一刻为止，心里还是很忐忑的。。毕竟6月末是“得闲死，唔得闲病”的非常时期。。说到这一点，真的很感恩我那超赞的团队，尤其是他。。虽说马不停蹄的提前把文件案子敲定，我不在的那个礼拜，都是由他们来扶持与跟进的。。大爱！！

进入主题，紫阳花或俗称绣球花Hydrangea macrophylla。。印象最深刻的，就是若干年前，我家小妹的毕业典礼，指明要来一束绣球花，寻花数千里条街，好不容易捧着一束由她最喜欢的紫纸包裹的绣球花，为她人生的新旅程碑，送上万二份的祝福。

绽放。强罗公园 Gora Park

在准备箱根Hakone的旅程时，意外发现6月末是紫阳花开始绽放的季节。。让我精神抖擞，兴奋不已！到了箱根，真真正正的让我重新认识这迷人的紫阳花，也突然领悟了一个道理。

Say Annyeong to Pororo the Little Penguin

뽀롱뽀롱 뽀로로 (Porong Porong Pororo)...
Yay, Pororo the Little Penguin's in town!

Excited when first told by Ms. V on Wed that Pororo and friends're coming to Mid Valley. On Fri, while enjoying my Star Trek Into Darkness, her sweet pic with Mr. Pororo popped out on my whatsapp screen. "Ishhh...beh tahan!!" Sat's locked down with a full day of work and a wedding dinner...Finally early on Sun morning, despite the dizziness and blurriness from sleeping at 4am, we kia su-ly headed straight to Mid Valley for a long waited reunion with Pororo the Little Penguin  and friends.

"Omo...Why you took so long to come and see me?! Oso-wa, come come, take a pic together~"

5D4N Krabi in January 2013

启程前，对这一趟旅程，没有特别兴奋，或如往常般充满憧憬。也许是因为最近出走的频率稍高（续11月的仰光，甲米/卡比-万象-曼谷可是“马不停蹄，接踵而来”的逢周末出游)，兴奋指数自然降低。加上，去年夏天的香港澳门自由行留下的黑斑迟迟不愿退下，艳阳，海风，沙滩的魅力顿时大减，甚至有少许却步。拍拍胸膛，主要的原因还可能是对团友们的陌生，咱5人当中，只有一位是大学同窗兼老友，而另三位是她“更老”（青梅竹马）的小学同乡。幸好，咱的8字还算蛮和，5天4夜下来，大家打成一片，而他们细水长流的友谊与爱情，也值得以卡比十五的明月，对酒当歌。
