Long awaited pictures!

This lappy is not able to plug-and-play for the Canon PowerShot and even after I downloaded the TWAIN driver, I can only download one picture at a time, or many in a multipage TIF file which I have to save individual page as JPG one by one. Seriously, getting the pictures from the camera into this lappy is a hell lot of trouble!

But for ya sake, I've gotten 19 pics from the camera today. It took me the whole night! I've tried to load pictures from the camera on Monday too and that seriously took me the whole damn night to save only 4 pictures cause I keep doing it wrongly. It's just so difficult to load pics into this lousy lappy!!! FYI - I've already took 500+ pics in these 2 weeks!

Enough of whining, first I'll brief you about my day today.

Wrote this (in italic) in the company R&R room: Ouch! My groin hurts~

And so do my palms, my left shin, my tummy and my right knee.

Went cycling around the neighbourhood exploring the nearby shopping and eating places. Didn't cycle really that much, but my inner thighs are killing me as I haven't been cycling for like... 3 years?! And what more, I only cycled a few times before, either in East Coast Park or Pasir Ris Park or Pulau Ubin... on rented bicycles. So, today was quite an adventure for me, cycling on the pavements and the roads.

Left the dormitory at around 10am with my colleague and cycled to an electronic shop (something like ZOA) to meet another colleague at 10:30am there. It's my first instance cycling on the road and with unsteady peddling I managed to go along the pavements, cross a few junctions and reached there on time.

My colleague was waiting for us under the sun over there. Oh, I forgot to add: it's scorching hot this morning!!

...

Okies I'm too lazy to type everything out liao. To cut things short, we went to 6 different places on our bicycles, including to Jonathan's for lunch and our last destination before returning was the company. It's at another premises which I've never been to before, and we hang around the R&R room where my colleagues played table tennis. My company has 4 different premises at 4 different spots in and around this industrial estate.

Just before reaching that company building I fell down on the road when trying to mount the shallow kerb to go back up the pavement after crossing the road... on the bicycle of course. Actually I wanted to wear something longer today to cover my knees (was thinking I might fall down) but the weather was so hot so gonna be sweaty and I hate uneven tan on my legs so I wore my denim shorts instead. Overall it's something like my usual blading attire, although the last time I blade was ages ago.

Now my wounds hurt like hell especially during my shower! I hate the raw wounds on my right knee... 2 bloody mess of dirt, blood and flesh, even after bathing. Other than the badly scraped right knee, my left shin is very swollen, left knee bruised + scratched and tummy also bruised because I fell on my front and I dunno if I hit my shin and tummy on the kerb or the bicycle... *shrugs* Okies enough of today. I'm fine now~ so let's get on with... well, I hope the pictures have already been loaded by the time you read till this line. Lotsa pictures coming up~

And finally! Here are the pics~ ^^v



Some of my dinners in the dormitory cafeteria:


Tempura with rice, fruit, miso soup and green tea (white thing I dunno wat)


Curry rice with salad, miso soup, fruit, dessert and green tea


Pasta with rice, salad, miso soup and green tea


Ramen with fried rice, grapefruit with yoghurt and green tea

*UGH* See?! Every meal is sooooo much food! So filling~~~ It's double of what we normally eat in Singapore, especially the ramen and fried rice! The ramen itself is a huge bowl and I still see some of the guys eating fried rice heaped above the brim of the big bowl! Wah can eat so much~ Every meal is so satisfying in the dormitory, even the breakfast is just as much! See~


Beansprouts and beans with cheese and mayo, yoghurt, miso soup, rice and green tea

The food may look plain but tastes good! Maybe cos mine are specially prepared vegetarian meals so look more plain. I do have pics of some of the "normal meals" they prepare, will upload them when I get back to Singapore k? You'll be drooling when you see them~ ^^



Last Saturday:


Ebina Station waiting for the train


In Akihabara, the Japanese Electric Street


Dinner in a soba restaurant at Vinawalk


Bought this yukata set (pouch inclusive) after dinner at Vinawalk. Kawaii anot? =P



Last Sunday:


Yokohama: Chinatown


Saw this scene on the way along Chinatown... reminds me of those pics in puppy52 and similar blythe-doll-related-LJs! This shot is taken just for you tberry! =P


Yokohama: Yamashita Park


Another view of Yamashita Park


Yet another view of Yamashita Park, see the ferris wheel (a bit blur) in the skyline?


We walked all the way to the ferris wheel under the scorching sun!!! But no, we never get up the giant wheel. I'm sure the view up there will be terrific!

Yes, I bought things from Adidas at Queen's Square when I was in Yokohama. The 'plastic bag' nice hor? Keke... and this is back in Ebina~

WaraWara... it's a Japanese style pub. "XiaoXiao" in Chinese. I love the ambience and the drinks! Altough I only tried one mildly-alcoholic peach soda... but just look at the menu!




Random pictures:

My ulcers... yes I bit myself. *ugh* That was during one of those sumptuous dinners... >.< PAIN!!!

FYI - Now the ulcers are growing in size and my lip is really swollen. =(

Bought these from the Meiji vending machine in the dormitory.

Today's lunch is at Jonathan's. The menu is something similar to Swensons or NYDC but includes some Japanese style meals as well.

And that's my dessert at Jonathan's today... Orange cheesecake~ yumyum!

Ermmm... Ever see people fall down liao still so happy? LOL~

Took this in the company R&R room... I was hanging around nursing my wounds, writing some of the passages above or playing with that stepper in the pic, while my colleagues played table tennis. Oh~ anyway I bought that red cap today in a place called Sexy Mumps for a 1000 yen.

Bought these today at a supermarket before heading back to dormitory on the bicycle, reaching dormitory at around 7:30pm.

Haha so heaty liao still buy mixed nuts... but it's cashew nuts + almonds + walnuts leh! My favourite nuts all in one~ Woohoo!! And Coffee jelly! Alcoholic raspberry soda! Fresh mushrooms for my instant noodles! Last but definitely not least, Meiji strawberry yoghurt!!! *yummy*

Today's breakfast: vegetarian bakuteh instant noodles (brought from Singapore) with fresh golden mushrooms (bought in the local supermarket)...
