    JWL_8115We needed to go get some Tokyo Bananas and the nearest place was Daimaru in Tokyo Station. We decided to just go into a random restaurant in Tokyo Station cause they never fail to amaze us! We went into a restaurant that sells beef tongue! It’s super delicious, the beef was so tender and juicy! Isn’t it amazing how you can find super amazing restaurants in a train station?

  • How Can I live Without You, WiFi….

    Sponsored Post

    A few of you have been asking me how do I keep myself connected to the internet 24 hours when I was in Japan. The answer is a personal mobile hotspot WiFi device aka pocket WiFi.

    I have to admit I cant live without the internet, not even for a second… Ok, I’m exaggerating a little bit, maybe 1 second I can but definitely not 10 seconds LOL.

    I’m 100% sure it’s not just me, everyone of you are! Just that you havent realized it yet.

    So when I was in Japan 2 years ago, I super regretted not renting a pocket WiFi. I can only connect to the net when I was in the hotel lobby which is pretty pathetic.

     This year, I told myself no matter how, I will surely get myself a pocket WiFi because I need to keep everyone updated on where I was and what I was doing LOL.

  • Two Years Ago…

    How was everyone’s Christmas? Mine was all about sleeping and eating, it felt so good! *aging

    So, Christmas has always been like a normal day to me because I don’t celebrate Christmas. The only reason why I’m excited about Christmas is because it’s a public holiday hahahaha. I dont have any memories of receiving presents or having Christmas dinner with my family when I was young … until I went to the States to further my studies, I celebrated Christmas with my close friends and my students (I used to teach Chinese part-time back in the States for kids).

    That’s when I learned that it’s pretty fun to actually celebrate Christmas… Everyone gathers together, they sing Christmas songs, eat dinner and open presents together! The most exciting part is definitely the snow! Kalamazoo, snows a lot so I celebrated white Christmas’ for 3 years.

    We built our own alcoholic snowman (he was chugging a bottle of beer) in front of my fren’s place. We called it our senior project lol.

    Pardon my outfit, It was around 2am so I was wearing my PJ T__T

    Halo everyone! Recently, I’ve been very stressed out due to my heavy workload at work, and then even when I’m not working, I also have to worry about not spending too much on things I don’t need, but it seems everything is a ‘need’ and not a ‘want’ to me… Haha, shoes, clothes, and cosmetics are essential for us girls right??? Anyway, as I was saying, don’t you guys think life has gotten really complicated for us young, working people? Things are getting more and more expensive but our pay hasn’t increased a bit? Trust me, it’s even harder for us, young, married couples!!!

  • Our Short Getaway to Sekeping Serendah

    OK, I shall blog about our short getaway from two days ago because my blog is dying lol. I have been really active on Dayre (@bobostephanie) to the point that I’ve totally forgotten about my blog hahhaa. If you really enjoy reading my “Bobo’s Day” posts, you should totally follow me on Dayre because I update a lot of random posts there hehe. The only disadvantage of Dayre is that it stops me from updating my blog hahaha. HOW LA LIKE THIS!??!

    Jo and I have been quite busy with work recently so Jo suggested that we should go for a short getaway to de-stress ourselves.

    Jo has wanted to visit Sekeping Serendah for quite a while edi because he obviously loves nature more than I. He told me he went camping in Taman Negara before when he was in high school and I was like, “Yerr, what do u do there besides feed mosquitoes?”

    I have to admit I’m not a very outdoorsy kind of person but I LOVE beaches… with nice villas of cox LOL

    A few days before heading to Sekeping I went on to Tripadvisor to do some research on the place and to check whether they provide hair dryers or not LOL *true story

    Obviously they dont so I brought my hair curler and dryer along, it felt more like moving houses than going camping for me hahhaa. I brought too many unnecessary stuff with me.

    Then i found out they have NOTHING, yea ZERO besides oxygen and water and maybe mosquitoes lol.  So I was like, “Darling, do you think we can cancel the room?” Jo was like, “No wor, too late.” No choice, I decided to give it a try because the room looks interesting. We booked the Mud shed which is the smallest room (4 pax).

    JWL_8462

    There are 2 mud sheds and they share a kitchen in the middle. We were quite lucky because we got the whole kitchen and living room to ourselves. It really depends on your luck because if you only book one room you will have to share the kitchen and living room with other guests. If you prefer to have the kitchen all to yourselves I would suggest you to book two rooms or a bigger room instead!
