My Tokyo Trip- Day 1 (Check in Shinjuku Washington Hotel & Shinjuku Red Light District)

26 August 2011- that was the day I left Singapore to Tokyo!!!
Special thanks to F&N for this sponsored trip!!!

Yes, I actually won The Best Blogger Award from F&N Spread The Groove Blogging Challenge.
Together with me, Darren who also won The Spread The Groove Award also went for this trip with me!!!

Above photo grabbed from Darren's blog.

We travelled in SQ!!!

And that was our lunch!!!

I'm really lucky to have the window seat and I can see view outside!!!

After 7hrs of flight and about 2hrs bus journey, we finally reached Shinjuku Washington Hotel!!!
And this is my room!!!

They have everything you need in this room like hairdryer, TV, glass, small kettle, etc.

Toilet was small but everything is equipped. Quite impressed by it actually!!!

Vending machine selling beers and other assorted flavoured drinks. It is so unlike Singapore...
Singapore after 12am no more beer selling...

Yes! You never see wrongly... It is a Cigarette vending machine! Smoker will find this place heaven... Cause they can easily get their stuff from the convinence vending machine nearby...

Shinjuku Street (Red Light District)- There was a slight rain when we were there...
I realised that Japanese love to carry transparent umbrella... That why you can also find the umbrella at Singapore's Daiso store.

How can I not take a photo with the street...

These photo are just for sharing... I did not went into any of this places k... Darren and Jeff can witness for me. Haha...

"Your Happiness Makes Me Happy!"- What does that mean??? Haha....

Wow!!! Party babes!!! =p

After the long hours flight and walking around Shinjuku, we realised we are so hungry...
And we went to the Japanese Restaurant in our hotel.

It was pretty crowded when we went in...
We realised that people came here not only for dinning but fishing too! This is so INTERESTING!!! But we did not try fishing la... =(

This was what I ordered...

We ordered this big plate of Sashimi too!!!
The sashimi were so fresh!!! Yummy!!!

Me and Darren spotted this little vending machine on the dinning table!!!
Guess what? It is actually a card which you can make into 3d Model (Plane, Motocyle, Race car, etc).

Darren got a plane one!

And I got a Motorcycle one!!! So cute right!!!

Family Mart! Yes you can easily find such store all over Tokyo!
It is lke our 7-11 store in Singapore but they sell lot of interesting stuff in the store.

See!!! I'm not kidding you... There is so many interesting drinks!!!

After shopping at the Family Mart, we were all tired and we decided to call it a day and go back to rest early to prepare for the next day.

My bed is calling me....
Stay tuned for my next post- My Tokyo Day 2 : Asakusa (Kaminarimon, Sensoji Temple), Ueno Street, Harajuku, Shibuya.

INTERVIEW WITH MR WORLD SINGAPORE 2022 (SENIOR): S3 UMAR ABDUL HAMID

1) During your entire time of Mr World Singapore 2022 from the time you auditioned till you won the title, tell us - what was the most overwhelming moment for you? Personally, as the grand final day drew nearer, and diet and water had to be stricter, it was hard trying to keep up with the nutrition portion as well as the rest and recovery portion. Aside from that, i was starting to feel a little more anxious that i should and a huge part of it was because i invited my mother to be part of the audience and i wanted the event to be memorable for her. But i guess everything was worth it in the end. 2) What was the prep process like? From the auditions all the way to the Grand Finals, i knew i had to step up as prior to the audition, i let myself go quite abit because of the fact that i was juggling between work and handling my 3 children. But i guess after the audition. i made a clear intent to give 100% to get ready for the grand finals and since then, i made more conscious de...

My Honest Review of the LUMOS Tablet — Budget-Friendly, Surprisingly Capable

I’ve always had a soft spot for discovering local tech gems — and that’s how I stumbled onto the LUMOS Tablet. You probably know LUMOS for their projectors, but they’ve recently launched a tablet that caught my attention. Spoiler: For the price, it actually delivers. Here’s my personal take after using it for a couple of weeks — plus the specs you’ll want to know. ⸻ First Impressions Unboxing the LUMOS Tablet felt like a good start. It has a 10.1-inch Full HD IPS Display (1920 x 1200), which immediately stood out — bright, clear, and vibrant enough for Netflix marathons or YouTube spirals. The tablet weighs around 500g and has a sleek, modern design that doesn’t feel cheap at all. It’s light enough to toss in your tote or backpack without feeling like you’re carrying a brick. ⸻ Under the Hood – Technical Specs Here’s a quick look at what powers this tablet: • Processor: Octa-Core 2.0GHz • RAM: 4GB • Storage: 64GB (expandable up to 256GB via MicroSD) • Operating System: ...
