kyoto day 1

in kyoto at the moment..blogging from the hostel internet. din take much pics today.. by the time i reached takao,it was dark d.. so not much pics.. but i wasnt going to let that from stopping me take other pics! too lazy to describe but enjoy it :)

p.s: will describe the pics later on..

Class Trip

forgot to upload this two pics.. lazy to arrange.. so as an intro, this was the guide to our trip. the guys were all hitting on her from questions like 'how old r u?' to ' r u single?' :P


my class recently had a class trip to idemitsu petroleum plant,nagoya central airport and toyota's commerative museum.

so i'll start with idemitsu..honestly i wasnt interested at all.. i mean it's just another petronas(not tht i ever visited petronas though). initiall we were supposed/wanted to go kawasaki heavy industries where they build planes, engines those sorts of crap. but in the end. it's also has military secrets that foreigners arent allowed to see..wtf?! what can a malaysian like me do?!hell i'm even more of a pacifist than japanese. but idemitsu wasnt tht bad.. only let down was that half the time we were in a conference room! blah..

nagoya central airport was slightly much better..looks like klia but much cooler.. with an open deck for viewing planes and some retro restaurants.had lunch there at the hotel.. for 1800 buffet, it was pretty good.

next stop was toyota's commerative museum at nagoya.. any wannabe engineer should pay a visit here. could have easily spend a day here but instead we only had an hour. here's a 'i bet u din know fact' toyota was originally a textile company! alot of textile machines, cars, engines.. a simulation on how cars are built.. lotsa factory robots there. and almost every engine toyota has ever made!

1.iwata with his cam in action! 2.nagoya central airport.. oh i forgot to mention, it holds weddings and has a public bath with ceiling glass to watch planes flying!
3.JAL landing
4.best of friends,mukuda and matsuo
5.shou-chan(masamura) he finally posed for me!
6.the viewing deck
7.after the battle of the buffet!

9.the chairman(we call him sachou) and my tutor!
10.'ready for take-off!'

this week i'll be off to kyoto!hopefully i can enjoy the foliage there.. hopefully i'll come back with some awesome shots!

Nintendo World Expo 2006

my first nintendo event!how cool is that?!this year, the draw is WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIiiiiiiii!!! nintendo wii,the revolutionary console that's going to change the gaming world with motion sensors and what nots.

i had to wait 40 mins or so to play for 5mins but it was well worth it! tennis was such a breeze and boxing was just amazing!can dodge,uppercut,hook and so on!cant describe it with words.
pics..but no pics of action..not allowed

1.giant wii!

2.the crowd
3.zelda,omg.. the queue was so long that they closed it 3hours before closing...
4.some girls
5.pokemon..no interest at all..

6.pretty girl
7.wii balloon
8.information counter
9.more girls
10.the entrance
if i weren't saving up to go aussie, i think i would get one on launch day.. now i'll wait..one thing's for sure though, it's going to sale like hot cakes with zelda as a launch title and pokemon just 2 days after. if their online functions are good, it might just trash the other 2 rivals. more 3rd party support and more importantly,good 1st party games. super mario galaxy looks to be another hit. zelda is already one. fire emblem wil come out in feb, metroid sometime next year and most importantly smash bro.s!

all in all, get one get one get one!!
