Zhongwei and Alvin who are touring Japan right now came to visit me on Friday and Saturday~. Since Zhongwei wanted to take a look at Kwangaku, for reasons I dont know why, we brought them there. One thing good about visiting Kwangaku during the school holidays is that there's no one there, except for some random uncles, so you can basically walk around the school in peace. The bad thing? Everything's freaking closed so you cant enter the buildings.

After the tour of my school, we went to Nishinomiya Gardens, the biggest shopping mall in West Japan. On the way there, it started to snow!!! The first time I ever saw snow in my life was during the Geography fieldtrip to Hikone and Sekigahara. The snow I saw that time was a little watery and it lasted for a short time. Nevertheless, I was really enthralled by it. This time round, the snow was a little more solid and it's really exciting to see the snow just melt away in your hands. Walking in the snow was also pretty fun~ although the stuff inside my bag got a little wet :P.

Nishinomiya Gardens~

The elevators in the mall. I think that they change the designs every month or something because when I went there last month, the designs were different.

Ate Oyster Okonomiyaki at this restaurant called Botenju. Apparently, they have Botenju back in Singapore as well..wtf.

Sky Garden on the fourth storey of the mall. One of my friends told me that it was a very romantic place but erm, I dont feel it. Probably it's because he went in the night and I went in the day?

There's this cooking class in Gardens as well. Tiffany and Connie made Gateau Chocolate when they went there on the opening day, which was on the 26th of November. They didnt have to make reservations at that point of time but now you have to make reservations if you are planning to go there. =(

Went to sing Karaoke in Umeda after shopping and we could see HEP Five's ferris wheel from the room we were in. Cool~ I like looking at ferris wheels but I dont like riding them because the nightview of every place looks similar to me...Haha.

Zhongwei belting out a tune.

Takaaki and his interesting way of singing songs with a high voice.

Zhongwei going crazy. Haha, he was trying to make Alvin sing with him and Alvin refused so this was what happened. :P

Had dinner at the karaoke place as well. Pretty cheap dinner I guess.

Zhongwei, Alvin, Takaaki, Me.

Went to take neoprints after karaoke but there was a queue to take neoprints...wtf?! So to kill time, they started playing Taiko no Tatsujin. Why does everyone like to play Taiko no Tatsujin?! Haha.
