tokyo day 8

the attraction for today is ghibli museum! ghibli museum is a museum to showcase 宫崎骏 works. if you dunno who he is, let me show you some clues.








watch these movies before? yup he is the creator.


and he looks like this:


very 慈祥 hor? like that colonel from kfc. haha.


before going there we had our breakfast at family mart.


this is yummy to the max! darling put the white carrot in first then put the other ingredients on top then we go and pay the money. when we go back to the hotel darling was checking the receipt and she realised the cashier din charge us the money for the white carrot. hahahaha~ (putting the white carrot in first is really really unintentional)


to go to ghibli museum, must take the metro to mitaka station. from mitaka station you can choose to walk to the museum for 15 min. or you can take their shuttle bus which cost 200 yen for one-way trip, and 300 yen for two-way trip. of course take two-way lah~ but some bloggers recommend one-way because on the way to the museum there is a beautiful garden where you can take pictures. 


the very cute bus.


btw hor, tickets to ghibli museum must also be booked in advance. must book at those ticketing machines found at lawson convenience stores. lawson is one of their many convenience stores in japan, machiam like our 7-11. in fact you can only see very few 7-11 in japan, but you will see alot of lawson and family mart.


the theme for ghibli museum is very meaningful: LET'S LOSE OUR WAY, TOGETHER.


You will discover many interesting things in the Museum. There are no set routes that you must follow. You are the one to discover your own way. Those who can lose their way and fully enjoy this space are welcomed at the Museum.










this is my colleague! haha. he teaches pe and maths but now he teaches full load pe.


we are very lucky that the weather is very good and the sun came out. :)


after the museum we went to shibuya!!! to do crazy shopping! once we reach shibuya we were like... OMG! GAN PHUA ZHUAY LANG~ 


shibuya got this famous crossing whereby the traffic lights will turn red then all the pedestrains will walk from all directions. you can witness this organised chaos from starbucks 2nd floor in the Tsutaya building. haha.


i went to KAMO which is a shop selling soccer jerseys! bought a j league jersey for myself. you may think that how come i din buy more. it is because the j league jerseys are super expensive!!! even more expensive than the international/barclays premier league/spanish la liga/italian serie A jerseys!!! absurd!!! hence i only bought ONE jersey for myself. and one jersey for xue hong. hahahahahaha. his long overdue bday present. :p

yay wayne rooney!


then i saw a adidas shop. i also went crazy there. the things there are soooooooo NICE!!! got japanese limited edition one some more! that is only exclusive in japan! you cant get that anywhere else!


nice hor? bought this set of black and gold track suit, together with a pair of gold sneakers. coolest to the max!!!


i pity darling because i am the only one buying lots of things and she bought very few because she can't find one that she really like... i pity her most at the end because she has to carry alot of my things when we go back to the airport on the last day. you watch drama is always woman alot of things, man very little things and the man will carry for the woman, but this time it is the other way round... :p


THANK YOU DARLING! YOU ARE THE MOST NOBLE GF!!!


ok after the crazy shopping at shibuya we went to a very special restaurant! a ninja-themed restaurant! found this restaurant through the tokyo blogs. hahaha.


the entrance of the restaurant. very 隐秘. very hard to find. well it is a ninja restaurant anyway. must be well concealed in order to be a ninja hideout.

and hor, you must also make reservations in advance. i make the reservation one week before the trip for 530 pm, and dun have this slot already, only have 845 pm. LL have to accept lor...


ok we went in to the entrance, got one lady in ninja costume smiling at us. saw my reservation on her book and she said a ninja will come very shortly to bring us to a secret hideout. then she clap her hands twice and then got a trap door suddenly open and jump out a female ninja! WAH! stunned! hahahaha.


this is the ninja who led us to our "chamber".


"ninpou kuchiyose doton tsuiga no jutsu!!!" *all copy from naruto*


the 飞镖 can eat one! throw at pple wun die one!


the 武林秘级! no lah it is the sacred scroll menu.


while eating halfway this person who claimed that he is the restaurant's master ninja performed a series of magic tricks for us! his magic tricks are cool! more handsome than 刘谦. hahahaha.


si bei effort by the ninja waitress. :)


the food here is very very expensive. but paying so much for the atmosphere, the ninja thrill and the magic show, is still ok lah. come once will do. no need to go again. cos seriously the food really 不怎样. haha.
