This week has been super packed ;w;
and it'll carry on next week---
I haven't been able to make time for blog update at all ;w;
I hope I can finish this blog tomorrow (Sunday 16th May) so that I can still finish November's post this month!
I've been giving myself leeway but I still needed a break ;w;
Sunday 9th May was SCRAP -> gym -> finished up blog----
I don't even remember anymore what I had for meal orz
But the weekend is truly the only time I can finish blogging ;w;
Because Monday is the day I can sleep in!!!
Recorded the second episode of VKanon's 喜怒哀楽 KiDoAiRaku #2 episode on Monday -> edited on the day itself + the blog post!!!
It's already uploaded here; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xsI4-ZMQheM
The blog post is here :D https://vkanon18.blogspot.com/2021/05/vkanons-kidoairaku-2.html
I did more cutting than I expected w I took more recording time as I did eating too XD
After all planning & recording are more fun than editing 😂
Backstage people really work hard to provide viewers good stuff!! 😂
I had worked on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday..
Well, what's new 😂
Posted a 'what if I cut my hair' photo in my SNS ( https://linktr.ee/vkanon18 ) and everyone really thought I cut my hair 😂
No way man I'll cry so hard 😂
I still aim for hair slightly above waist----
I'm a princess ;w;
Sorry for not uploading that fake hairstyle on April Mop 😂
Wednesday started early with driving practice..
Ah, last week been super busy with helping my partner too
We shipped like 20 packages overseas & in Japan for Swiftwave!!
Actually want to ship more but when we reached the post office, we realized someplace can't receive epacket or something like that
We wasted like 40 labels making time ;-;..
Carried 2 suitcases and 5 boxes to the post office too 😂
My kids have been super sweet this week!
Thursday started early with SCRAP..that I requested for shift change on Friday orz
I truly can't bear just having 5hrs sleep orz
Been stressing over finding material for kids too ;w;
Saturday is, at last, a bit more relaxing day, though I still can't finish all my work 😔
I skip writing report today as I still need to dry my hair before sleeping (I don't want to sleep past midnight though I had a nap just now)
I had a blood test earlier..
I'm super afraid of crashing as I didn't have proper eating time due to works w
But so far I'm fine!!
Oh, at last, I received my Child Coach Advisor qualification ;w;
After more than 1 month, at last I got email that I passed w
But the upcoming week I'm filled with Driving & FP test..
So I'll start the other qualification study at the end of May!
Plus taking Chinese Oral Test in July----
Finishing this blog post is my last task for this week!
Sunday started early with SCRAP -> go home napped for 30mins -> gym -> go home for lunch & FP -> driving practice -> home and napped for another hour w
I went to Higashi Nakano station 4 times today (back & forth w)
The time in between my activities was so..half-hearted that I could go home w
After nap -> shower -> dinner -> cleared lesson planing & report writing~
I also practiced simple piano piece for next week's VKanon's 喜怒哀楽 KiDoAiRaku #3 episode
I was so busy this week that I only managed to plan what to talk about yesterday!
but yes, will still be doing the recording tomorrow (May 17) as I mentioned!
as always, I look forward to it and enjoying it~!
Hopefully, this post won't take too long w
Alright! Let's travel back to November 2020~!
It's another day I've been waiting for in the year~~~
As the title of this blog says, I went to Disney Sea in November 2020, after 2 weeks of buying the ticket online!
The last time I went was September 2019 with my partner and friends
Of course this time it's just me and my partner~!
But I truly looked forward to it!!
I'm always hyped for Disney UwU
Had McBreafkast XD I always have the pancake!
and it's time to go----
Inside Disney Resort Line!
Unlike DisneyLand, DisneySea is further from the station (Maihama) thus we used Disney's train that goes around the area only.
This is how it looks from the outside! https://twitter.com/VKanon18/status/1389885597137833985
This is the scenery I saw while riding the train! https://twitter.com/VKanon18/status/1389886650818252802
If I'm not mistaken, unlike DisneyLand, there are only 2 entrance ticket types available for DisneySea; morning or after 12
DisneyLand had morning, 11 and after 1!
yayyyy
I already miss it now ;w;
SO EMPTY W
I think in November, more people are visiting DisneyLand than Sea as they opened new attractions; Belle's Castle & Big Hero?
They are still renovating a part of DisneySea too, like what I saw back in 2019
Heard that they are making something Frozen & Tangled related
Yay to more Disney Princesses <3
By late November, it's already Christmas decoration :D
Waited for 1/2hr and only 1 came for the water parade 😂
The first time I came to DisneySea back in 2010? I remember getting so wet from the water parade and had a lot of fun
I couldn't see DisneySea's parade in 2019 because when we reached, it already finished? We reached pretty late
Couldn't see DisneyLand's parade in 2020 because it was canceled due to the pandemic
So when I saw the website saying that there will be a water parade.. I was super excited that I made my partner wait with me w
They put boxes to stand aka social distancing but it was meaningless when a couple comes right 😂
Anyway, first Mickey Minnie Donald Daisy came on a boat with Santa = Christmas Decoration!
Then The ToyStory folks came......
and that's all 😂
Tbh super disappointed as I wanna meet Stitch 😂
The video is here 😂 https://twitter.com/VKanon18/status/1390296294175002624 and https://twitter.com/VKanon18/status/1390297161066192896
At night, I also waited for the firework show but it also disappointed me 😭
I remember Disney Firework that I watched back in HongKong
Super long and tiring but super pretty and I remember crying as the songs were super good (they were into Tinkerbell and dream and wishes with When you wish upon a star)
The one in DisneySea was...5 mins? 😂
And no particular theme 😂
Oh well, still captured it here 😂 https://twitter.com/VKanon18/status/1390300642036514817
I wanna go back to see DisneyLand's parade and firework----
Didn't really go or try something new in DisneySea
The newest ride was still crowded that we needed to make an advance reservation (didn't know until we go there because duh my partner also not bother checking w)
But I still enjoy it a lot, though I believe pictures I took back in 2019 and in 2020 most probably no much different 😂
Just way lesser people!
My 2 fave parts of DisneySea; Agrabrah (Aladdin) and King Triton's Palace!
Though I super love seeing big castle when it comes to DisneyLand, of course, I can't hide my love for Jasmine and Ariel here!
I love Little Mermaid's color scheme!!
The second picture is us going back to wait for the water parade w
The lights outside after sunset were super pretty too!
At last, can take a proper photo of the inside!!
Prince Eric's statue inside Ariel's hidden chamber!
My love for Ariel is slowly making me love mint green I think!
Of course I love the Purple X Green combination for the princess too!
I asked my partner to take Instagramable photo but back then he can't yet 😂
I've learned to just pass him my phone with SNOW opened 😂
Well, the mask not helping too 😂
Rode the jellyfish ride that we rode back in 2019 XD
I'm very sentimental? I just love to reminiscence and repeat good memory 😂
Anyway, Ariel's castle consists of kids friendly attraction
The jellyfish ride is simply go up go down go up go down gradually w
Can see what's around the castle
We had pizza inside, like back in 2019 though this is simply because we wanted to eat it w
We remember it was.. tastier or maybe because we weren't too hungry 😂
Well, partner being partner, it's not like we went there super early 😂
I think we still reached around 1 😂
The castle when it's completely dark!
and it's time for Agrabah!
I actually didn't buy anything during that visit 😂
W-well the entrance ticket + commute fee ain't cheap to start with!
Agrabah was actually pretty big as it's on open space (outdoor) and I guess that's why it was more crowded than Ariel's area!
I remember the curry-flavored popcorn smelled super tempting 😂
rode on the merry go round, like back in 2019 XD
also rode on Jasmine's carpet and took a photo with Rajah! XD <3
Took photo with partner there in 2019 but no more needed in 2020 😂
Back in 2019, we also watched a show related to Genie but not anymore in 2020~
The new challenge was riding Journey to the Centre of the Earth!
Of course, V being V, I still screamed at the top of my lung 😂
But I guess this was better than Indiana Jones as it wasn't fully inside
There's one part where we will go out from that mountain and I told myself to not close my eyes during that moment to be able to see DisneySea from the top with all the lights at night 😂
The Toy Story area was super crowded, thus we left without dropping by XD
It was already November, thus I think people not as guarded as they were back in September
So there were more people though still controllable in my opinion!
I truly wanna visit DisneyLand to see Belle's castle---
I'm kinda into her songs now ;w;
and a stay in the hotel..
Hopefully this year!!
Okay, I just wasted like 20mins researching about Disney Hotels & Parade w
Next time should reach DisneyLand before 1PM as that's when the parade starts orz
I just told my partner that I'll go by myself if he is lazy w
DisneyLand Hotels so expensive ;w;
At least a visit to DisneyLand----
Been listening to 90s songs but now totally looping Disney songs w
Back to normal school & weekday~
Tochomae sure is beautiful in autumn!
I was there for Yakun!!
Definitely due to me missing Singapore XD
I mean, it's one of my fave chain food places in Singapore!
The barley drink--- missed it so much ;w;
Taste-wise was normal though w
The same goes to the yakun toast
The chicken ice.. after being with partner who introduced me Thai's chicken rice, I prefer Thailand's XD
The reason being Singapore's not as oily and soft XD
one of the days when I felt like not being a good teacher; ;w
But my kid seems to still enjoyed the lesson thankfully ;w;
I was still pretty full of nervousness that time w
But overall I truly love all my kids! >w<
Of course, I always look forward to something new for each lesson now too!
a day I curled my bangs because we were to have a group class photo for our pamphlet? In the end we took another photo another day when I was less dressed up and that picture what picked =_= at least it wasn't the yearly book!w
Boss gave me gear choco from her business trip~
Around home had orangey and..pinkish trees XD
and maybe the last time I ever did my nail w
I think I haven't done gel nail for..1/2 year already w
In the end, I still like to cut my nails once every 2 weeks the most!
as it starts to cool, I start to wear 2 layers!
and comfort food with Shinchan UwU
It's truly harder for me to have a proper meal on Saturday (even now!!), thus the comfort food XD
went to get more books for my kids and of course me too XD
Found this cute sticker in Tokyu Hands too XD
the leftover karaage chiken curry bento was my breakfast for the next day's SCRAP baito
Went to play a SCRAP game with friends, and then visited a cafe in Shimokitazawa where I found the seiyuu photobook
Later on, I checked the book and the photoshoot was done in that cafe XD
That cafe was playing anime too; Youkai Watch XD
I believe I went to my second driving test for my temporary driving license w
I think I failed as I got my temporary driving license in January 😂
I truly planned my year to be able to get 1 qualification each month but so far I only got the temporary driving license in January, HSK Level 5 in February (well result was end of January) and empty until I got my Child Coach Advisor qualification this week (May)
Hopefully real driving license next week
FP test upcoming result in June!!!
random cooking and ready-made Famima food~
the second and last time I visited Yakun just for my curiosity 😂
tried making soup with Indonesian flavoring but too salty XD
I think I wanted to make mi soup w
Yakun's menu wrote that they served Nasi Lemak but they no have due to the pandemic :(
Idk about now as I'd really want to eat it..
Well, I just don't really go that area anymore w
The prawn noodle wasn't good w too watery
the runny egg and steamed bread is normal
I don't remember what drink I had w
Maybe if I were to visit there again, I'm so getting the barley drink XD
Checked the website and may be interested in the chicken curry & mi rebus..
My commute pass does allow me to go there freely w
yay don't need to go to Kisarazu for Panda Express anymore XD
and partner got me bread!
Well, we only went once and satisfied already w
Apparently Panda Express is part of the food court in Shibuya's newly opened Miyashita Park~
The food court had a lot of American related food brands, including the Chinese take out~
Had the bread as the next day's breakfast!
Last day trip in November!
The road so pretty as we are driving out from Tokyo~
After paragliding and Journey to the Centre of the Earth, there was another fear I faced in November
This one didn't work out too, same with the paragliding 😂
But I still had fun with my friends and partner!
We drove to Hakone!!
Can see Romance Car, which name I always hear in Shinjuku station
and Hakone felt nice!
Despite Hakone is one of the famous places for a getaway from Tokyo, I've actually never been there before until November 2020!
It's one of the most visited places by both locals and tourists for onsen~
I can feel it the moment I reached as the crowd gives off that...touristy vibe w
Right outside the train station, there's a big shopping district
My friends said that there's a museum where we can do feet bath too!
I truly wanna go back to Hakone for an overnight trip next time XD
Here's the real reason why we were here; Athletic park!
Yes, when it comes to new challenges for me, it's definitely about OUTDOOR SPORT/ACTIVITY 😂
The weather was actually perfect, more to cold than hot but my friends sweated so much from the hard work
I didn't sweat much -> I didn't clear the whole thing 😂
So... there are 5 stages and I gave up after 2nd stage
I didn't expect the path to be so high up
And almost nothing to hold on
The moment I said out 'impossible', I just cried 🥲
I guess only the zipline was fun lol ( https://twitter.com/VKanon18/status/1390529874582859777 )
My fear for height will never be healed ;w;
My friends got super worried, and I understand that they may feel guilty about making me wait
But I truly wish that they don't because I truly enjoy waiting, or just enjoying their accompaniment though not fully!
It's the same with the first day of this year's golden week where I went to my partner friend's place and they played the game while I just scrolled my phone like 80% of the time w
But overall I still enjoyed the day a lot!
at last, it's what I looked forward to the most; onsen XD
We've definitely planned for onsen after the athletic park!
We ended up going to the one nearest to the park, which also gave us a discount ticket for the entry
After just eating bread for breakfast, we had late lunch there at 3PM!
I had curry XD
I remember partner had noodle curry which was super hot & big volume w
The onsen was surprisingly not too packed though there was quite a crowd in the athletic park!
It was very nice!
Since my partner did the whole driving, we agreed that we could've decided on an overnight trip instead XD
I remember waking up early for SCRAP the next day though w
we dropped by a big cafe in Odawara before going back to Tokyo!
We'd love to hang around Hakone more and go to a nice local cafe but not many places have a parking place
Thus we just picked a place that's on our way back, which served super nice sweets!
My partner made us rush for our food that the pancake I waited for 20 mins, I gulped it in less than 10 mins 🥲
Partner got fries and beer for me once we reached home w
I truly wanna drive soonnnnnn
ah another day of driving practice w
more foliage!
I'm truly going through the 4 seasons with my driving instructor 😂
started in late summer, went through autumn -> winter -> spring -> and now slowly entering the rainy season as next week's forecast is nearly all rain 🥲
I hope the rain won't be too bad on my exam day, though it's good when there's not many bicycles running on the car's path 🥲
super bright sun on one day after I finished working at SCRAP
and the night's moon was super bright!
Alright!
That's all pretty much for my November 2020!
Before ending, I'd like to share some photos that @emmards.me took, which I mentioned in my previous blog post!
Age makes me love nature more /slapped
But I was super happy when seeing a nice leaf!
Now this reminds me that some of my students will also pick up nice leaf or stone that they see on the street 😂
same level (?)
am I waiting for you? or are you waiting for me? XD
autumn = reading!!
THERE WERE SUPER BIG NICE LEAVES TOO---
These photos truly show how much I love autumn, I think XD
Still my most recommended season to visit Japan
Food is super good too~!
Yay finished typing before midnight but will be published after midnight due to link adding etc XD
Tomorrow shall not wake up too late as I wanna clear FP study & piano recording -> Thai lesson -> recording of VKanon's 喜怒哀楽 KiDoAiRaku #3 -> work -> editing----
Spoiler for my next radio recording, I'll be talking about Disney as my 'keyword talk' (C & D this time!)
It's gonna be pretty random I think, and maybe similar to my talk regarding Pokemon? XD
Next week will be filled with more waking up early though not too many 5AM ones 😂
But truly a week where I should focus!
I need more confidence
and more health? I just got more multivitamin which I think is super important for the period when I don't have enough sleep, nor proper food 😂
Japan's vitamin jelly that's being sold in convenience store tastes super good too..
Maybe I shall bring one to VKanon's 喜怒哀楽 KiDoAiRaku in the future XD
Hopefully, I'll be able to start twisting tomorrow too for December 2020?
I have 5 twits and 3 blog posts!
But will focus on the VKanon's 喜怒哀楽 KiDoAiRaku's editing first, as my throwback posts are going on smoothly
I give myself enough leeway that I'll be catching up with "real time" before 2021 ends XD
Thank you everyone for reading!
