Day 9. 3rd Nov 04

Applied for my internet today, hope they get it done ASAP.
Today went to a stop after yokohama. Went to the tallest ferris wheel.
Kinda hot today, so we went out in our tshirts and it was okay. it was still cool though.
Eh...we take alot of photos of the ferris wheel today.
Today is a photo taking day i guess. Went to KFC for lunch. The chicken is OILY! not crispy. But delicious. i ate two breast meat cuz Fiona didn't seem to want to eat them.
maybe i looked hungry =P. The salad here is so much better than singapore's.
The drinks however are so much more ex. i took a 160yen chocolate ice cream.
There is a thick 3mm layer (paiseh...so engineer) of chocolate covering the icecream. Very nice.
"Cheap" too. in Japanese sense. After lunch is more ferris wheel photo taking.
Then, the thing i feared the most happened. "Lets take the ROLLERCOASTER!".
Aww man. i never liked throwing my money away like that. oh well. Peer pressure and 10 minutes later, i paid my 1166yen for the ferris wheel and roller coaster. It's a rather less adventurous RC. the dips were okay, not too long...there is this part where it shoots right into a pond, and there are nozzles in the pond spraying out water as though we really splashed into the pond. (of course it was a hole lah). the safety harnest is too tight for my chest. Couldn't really breath properly. they locked it in too fast for me to adjust. but who's complaining of a tight fit? hehe

eh.next we see the sun set. it was kinda fast. the sun went down like it was in a hurry to go somewhere. we were hurrying to catch the orange sun.

Next is the ferris wheel. Tallest in the world currently. Initially i still thought i was going for a RC. so it was kinda scary till i told myself, hey. it's a ferris wheel!! no vertical drops!
but still, for a height phobic, this is not that good. But halfway through, it was much better.
tried to take some photos, but most of them are blur. dang. Must try harder.

after that, for the next 1.5 hours, we were taking photos of the ferris wheel. Sheesh. Catching the "fireworks" every 10 minutes interval. In between, we went to play at some amusement centre. Catching pooh bear with those 2 thong UFO thingy. Couldn't catch any.
The closest was the pooh bear being grabbed into the mid air, then it dropped due to change of movement of the catcher. haiz. disappointed.

saw a black poodle, if anyone is interested, with its own flashlight. heh.

Went to subway for dinner. or rather a foodcourt. Had some roasted chicken breast.
300 odd yen. CHEAP! After that, went to Hard Rock Cafe.
There the girls bought their polo T. while the others went to take pictures with a large
bear sitting outside the shop. expensive bear. (eh. stuffed bear).

Came home, and found my toilet leaking!!! those japanese made toilet ain't that good either!
i think due to expansion, the toilet ceramics broke. been leaking for the whole day i think.
The water here is very cold. it's like holding ice water for washing down your waste.
there were condensation around the tank. Ah well. as usual, i went to fix it. cannot use for the moment.

okies. after my banana, i thinki better sleep. Goodnight!
