Lunch With My Friend at Ichiban Sushi Hougang Mall

counter of Ichiban Sushi at Hougang MallI was wandering around with my friend after our classes at poly and decided to go for a late lunch at Ichiban Sushi. Maybe it is a weekday afternoon, there are not much customers in the restaurant and we are free to sit almost anywhere. The most economical course was the set meal which that was what we ordered as well. (Poly students are quite poor at that period of time). Given my past experience with Ichiban Sushi, the food plating was not that fantastic, neither the taste, but well I simply loved Japanese food, what can I do ?

I think they are marketing their food as "fulfilling" in quantity rather than quality. Huge portions has been served but I believed they could put in more efforts to make the food looks attractive. Well, we are talking about set lunch in a heartland Japanese restaurant, what else more can you expect ?

Shibuya Excel Hotel Tokyu

In Tokyo, this is arguably one of the best and most convenient hotel to be staying in. It is also affordable and smack right in the center of Shibuya. A string of food eateries and shopping malls line up on the first level of the hotel which is right on top of a shopping mall.

Granted, their rooms are not the biggest, but one cannot compete with the location.



They also have free internet access and if you don't have a laptop, you are able to rent one from them. At the lobby of the hotel is a bus port that has express buses going to the airport for 2000YEN. It is extremely convenient, given that you do not have to lug your luggage up and down the stairs through the busy and congested train stations.



Service is good as well, they have english speaking staff that will go to great lengths to help you. They will even help you organize the bus trip to the airport and more.

It is certainly a great hotel to stay in if you will be taking a trip to Tokyo.

久しぶり日本語

久しぶりですよね。シンガポールに帰って、もう一年ぐらいですね。この頃にも日本語の勉強全然やってない。。

帰国したの私、日本語の使い時間全然ないし、それとも、人々に言っても、多分誰も分からないと思う。。

でも仕事のおかけて、日本語の翻訳仕事やってるから、まだこの機会に日本語を使える。。

あぁ、どうしようかな。。。まだ日本に戻りたい。。

One of the Best Leisure in Osaka - Singing Karaoke !

Karaoke in Japan is a huge phenomenon that is extremely popular among everyone in any age group. It can be a past time for retirees, a hobby for students or just for working adults that need to take the stress off. There is no way you can walk down a street in the city without seeing numerous karaoke stores or staff on the streets handing out flyers, advertisements or holding a signboard yelling out the latest promotions.

The karaoke room you get varies from the number of people you have in your party. It also depends on the peak hours and whether the karaoke house is full up or not. You are also allowed to smoke in the rooms, so don't be surprised if you smell smoke while walking through the corridors.



Songs are very up to date and they have a huge selection of English, Chinese and Korean songs too. Also, if you get hungry or you need a drink, be it alcohol or not, karaoke rooms also have menus that are quite affordable for food, alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. Usually if you have a package, non-alcoholic drinks are free.
