[ 大阪 Osaka : Day 2 ] -- 京都 Kyoto -- 名古屋 Nagoya

Continues from the previous post, before heading into Kyoto,

Just see some pictures from day 2 in Osaka.

We went to the last station of one of the Subway line, reaching Tennoji at the morning.

Heard some history about it, probably consider as one of the old temple exist in the chaotic Osaka town.

Tennoji ( 天龙寺) in Osaka 

 Path on the way into the main temple of 

Tennoji.

Then, just few stations away from Tennoji, we visited Den-den Town. (电子街)


Where it is a paradise for P orn, Anime, Idols, GunFire players, UFO catchers and gaming sports.

Den-den street at the early morning.

Clean road.

 Gudetama UFO catcher :3

 Shingeki no kyojin UFO catcher

BB-gun and BB-Machine guns in Den-den Town

gosh! just because of the kastam.... 

Afterwards, we went to Osaka Cultural Museum, with discount ticket through Kansai Pass.

Lots of architectural models were spotted inside,

together with explanation along with Osaka's development timeline.

Kinda interesting when u can actually read through their generation revolved through architectural styles, dressing styles and even arts development.

 We estimated them to be roughly a 1:50 scale model.

 Model showing after modernism strikes in Osaka.

 Vehicles modeling.

 Rooms showing in plan.

 Late modernism.

The museum allowed visitors to dress in Kimono to walk around, probably a better way to experience their culture, the fees to rent the Kimono isnt expensive, roughly about 300-400 yen.

People wearing Kimono walking around.

Me n Yinghwei, resting?

 Spotting some onee-chan. 

An explation of Tsutenkaku (通天阁) of its architectural history.

This tower was consider as one of the symbolic landmark of Osaka city.

Later on, we went to visit the Osaka Museum of Sciene designed by Caesar Pelli featuring its steel exposure design.

 Bridge heading to the museum.

 Far view before reaching the museum.

Yea, the steel expression was there.

Basically, u can visit the museum with some cheap entrance fee, some exhibition required more expensive charges.

I didn't manage to capture the interior of the museum, it was built in totally underground, only its public reception are visible on the ground level.

Space was wide, waiting area was huge as well. 

Despite its breathtaking outlook, interior at the contrast was a bit unexpectedly, ordinary.

Hah.. please allow me to comment so.

Time leaving was abit late...

 Leaving at sunset.

Just Osaka took me two posts to write about, ahh. 

Im still thinking to write a post regarding food and transports. Stay tuned!

[ 大阪 Osaka ] -- 京都 Kyoto -- 名古屋 Nagoya

Last month we had a chance visited Japan, went to its second major prefecture, which is Osaka, then the tranquil town next to it, Kyoto, and finally the third major prefecture Nagoya which is two hours apart from Osaka.


It took us 7 days to travel across this three prefecture. The journey was kinda rush, our money spending was kinda tight, Malaysia is suffering currency drop at the moment, the exchange rate had been quite harsh on us. Apart from spending wisely and travelling with speed, everything was very nice and... the trip even raised more on my interested with Japan's everything.


Lets begin with my FIRST ever pic took in Osaka, after we settled down our foots there.

Still, a very big big AKB fan. I can't stop my excitement after spotting through this vending machine,

it was WONDA coffee by AKB48 man!
I knew about this brand since I knew AKB four years ago! So, I was kinda crazy over it and I...

I end up drinking ALL of it

Just for the sake of collecting the tins.

Unbreakable steel tin,

only in Japan.

At Osaka, we first went to Shinsaibashi (心斋桥), where it is quite a shopping paradise for everyone.

Spotted Itano Tomomi on a ads board. 

The shop street was as I expected it to be, transparent roof covered, with people cycling around, modern teenage girls hanging around, with make up on.  Yeah coz I saw it all on commercial shows lol.

Then, Osaka park, and Osaka Castle beyond it. 

One thing my groupmates never noticed about me is that, during the time we reached at Osaka park, I was the one who rush around, and see if that was the place, I used to admire alot.

It was Osaka Park. The place where NMB48's Miyuki and Sayaka they shooted for AKB to XX show. The day they shoot were sunny and hot, the day I went was about the same except for the temperature. 

It was once again, I felt like I've been there before.

 On the way to park.

 Osaka Park, familliar isnt?

 Osaka Castle Park

Long way before reaching Osaka castle.

Due to the need of writting for a storyline of old ancient Japanese, probably during the era of Nobunaga, I read through a little abit about their era's history before this,

which, this Osaka Castle (大阪城天守阁) had been quite a symbolic mark for the history. Where Toyotomi Hideyoshi tried to mirror Nobunaga's Azuchi's castle on Osaka Castle, according to what I heard from it, the general was able to see his control line when he is on top of the castle. I went there to see, it was true.

Weird panorama .. bear with it.

 Katana key chain sold in Osaka Castle

During the night time at Osaka, we went to Dotonburi, the night market street with lots of local delicacies, local sport ( gaming machine) , local merchandise and little bit of UFO catcher shop.

 this uncle, is a very famous

comedian in Osaka.

Then of course, we are in Namba man! That is the base for NMB48, the base for theater and offical shop. 

 This is the time after me went to Singapore and

Hong Kong offical Shop,

now at Osaka's Namba for NMB.

一本满足！

Poor me,

to have their shop closed every single time

i visit them. Even in Sgpore, HK. :/

Then, I start to look for the running red guy, who claimed by people as Osaka's landmark,

People even in Japan said, to take pic with this guy, is to show that u've been to Osaka.

Thats the city story I heard from Yukirin. lol

Yes this is the guy, 

he is located at the bridge across Namba's dotonbori.

Well, kinda tired now. Alright, I ll stop here for Osaka's half trip, stay tuned for next post for the rest of the trip! 

年未计划

等比赛的奖金到手，就去买个合合适适的耳机吧。

方便弹吉他的时候。不要是只能听一边的，不要是高低音不分轻重的。



等12月中final submission过后，重新认真拿起吉他吧。很久没有碰它了。


等长假再来的时候，好好去走一遍，摄取新的灵感，从新写多一些题材新颖的小说吧。




等一切一切都淡去以后，人和心都正常操作之后，尝试找回自己本来的生活吧。



不想说得很严重，情绪起伏最近很奇怪，我要坚强一点。




等所有事情都圆满落幕以后，给自己放个长假，好好休息吧。

好好想想，以前自己的价值观是如何，如今的生活究竟是那处被蒙着了眼睛。

22岁，生日快乐

其实我现在是应该赶回去救火的，功课是永无止尽的火
可是，可是

好歹今天我也步入二十二岁了，该写写贺文来祝贺自己吧。



首先


要谢谢鱼小姐。哈哈哈
是不是很突然，很突然的，谢谢一个已经要一年多不见的朋友

是这样的。

昨天面子书分享过往回忆，我看见了你四五年前写给我的生日贺文，如果没有记错，
那时候应该是十七八岁吧。


那时的我，比较瘦一些
还没有定期戴眼镜
头发偶尔会用wax定型
眼睛看起来比较稚气
常常穿着乐队练习用的红衣服
常常在学校喜欢看美女。


那时候的我，也比较好动一些
参加羽毛球队，参加乐队，每天都东奔西跑的忙个不停
整个人有时候会像黑炭那么黑


那时候有一段时间，过得不怎么顺畅
是鱼姐姐在旁安慰，那些事，是到了很后来我才告诉了其他人。


现在想起来，我好怀念以前的自己啊。


说话其实不怎么犀利吧，爱说冷笑话，爱搞笑，爱耍酷，爱耍宝
我真的觉得年龄，时间，和本身修读的课程，让我整个人都变了。


我知道的，我是变成熟多了。



可同时间的，变得不开心多了。
如果你想知道我不开心的频率有多高，是真的，很高很高。
别人看在眼里，可能不会觉得我不容易，


可是我真的很努力，很努力，去做自己该做的，去明白自己该明白的，去接受自己该接受的。


真的，很累。



我变胖了，那是真的。因为压力，因为暴食，因为无规律睡眠。

我变得不再爱说笑话。是没有什么时间去看笑话，没有管道抒发笑话，其实也渐渐都没人在旁听我说笑话。


我变得凡事都要思考周到，要细心敏感，要极端思考去解决问题。我是做到了，可人也因为这样的锻炼，变得越想越多，越来越自我封闭，自我感觉良好。


其实我不知道，这样的思考程度，在二十二岁来说，有没有太早。



其实我很像老人家，不爱冒险，不爱去做自己觉得多余的事，不再梦想自己能开启吉他手之路，不再梦想自己的写作能达到多巅峰的状态。


唉。能不能召唤那个十六岁的我，回来。




二十二岁的我，还真的嫌弃自己太老了。



人生也不只有一样事情，是同时间的精彩，若我今天能把集中力散播在各处，日后渐渐恢复开朗的人生不也更好吗？



我知道的，有些事，是报应。



我真的觉得是报应。





自己残忍的报应。




怎样都好，事在于人，才二十二岁，不要那么悲情了。唉。


十六岁的叶素延，回来啊回来。

坚信的事情

其实如果不是偶然去看看贴吧，我都差点忘了明天是优子生日；
这么重要的号码，我居然因为别的事情都快不记得了。


其实算算过来，真的是九年了。从07年的相识到15年。
我看见了一张蛋糕照，和另外一张有优子在里头拿着蛋糕的另一张图片，照片里面的笑容，比起零七年的时候少了稚气，少了装来填人气的笑容，多了一些岁月让她笑得不多不少有些累的眼脸。


他们仍然是我的信仰，也十分崇拜的一份缘分。影响我许多抉择，改变了我许多看法，增加了我内心对自己很多的承诺，潜意识的一些坚持。


27岁生日快乐，祝你与阳永在。
