I just got back 3 days ago, from Japan.! It was TERRIFIC!!!

It’s best vacation so far!

We went to Tokyo Disneyland for 3 days and then the last 2 days sight seeing.

Tokyo Disneyland is HUGE!!! There are 2 different lands. Disney Sea, and Disney land.

They are two separate parks, so you have to take a monorail there! And they also have parks in side the park. So like Sea world will have Adventure land, mermaid lagoon and so on.

Here is the front entrance to Disney Sea

And when you walk through the entrance you will see this cool volcano thing which is the “Journey to the center of the Earth” ride. SO FUN!

And there is “Indiana Jones” in the Adventure land part. It’s this ride where you go into a car and you drive around the temple and you face all of these scary adventures that Indiana Jones had in the movie. It’s the Crystal Skull thing. I’ve never watched Indiana Jones, but my brother does, so he can spot everything from the movie, and I would have NO IDEA what he’s talking about. LOL!

And then there was this roller coaster called “Raging Spirits” that has one loop de loop. It’s actually really short, and a little boring. Cuz in Hong Kong in Ocean Park they have a roller coaster called “The Dragon” which is a roller coaster that is mainly loop de loops.

In Tokyo Sea they had this really cool water parade on the lake in Disneyland. They don’t have an actual parade on the road, so instead they have in on the water.

In Tokyo Sea there is a free fall ride called “Tower of Terror” I rode it over 5 times, and it was really fun.

It’s about this guy named “Harrison” who owns a hotel called “Hotel High Tower” and he travels all over the world collecting ancient souvenirs for himself, and he happened to pick up a “Tiki tiki man” statue made from wood from a tribe in the jungle. And it just so happened that it was cursed and was evil.

The cursed wooden statue’s name was “Shiriki Utundo”

So one day he crashed the elevator in “Hotel High tower” and it’s a “mystery” so you go up an elevator, and it will drop down into the shaft.

It’s kind of scary at first, because when you go up, you don’t fall straight down right away. You will go to one floor, and they will open the elevator doors and you will watch your self in the mirror, and then your reflection will turn green and then your reflection disappears, because of Shiriki Utundo.

Then you go through these different floors until you reach the top and then you will drop straight down.

Here you can watch the story on youtube. You have to go into this room and watch this introduction before you get onto the actual ride. It’s really cool how they do it.

And by the way, I did not post this. I just happened to find a video on youtube about the story.

Creepy eh?

Anyways, it’s really cool.

So moving on, they also have this really cool “Arabian land” Based on the Disney stories such as Aladdin. The place was really cool too. The way they set it up, made you feel like you were really in Arabia.

And there is a ride there called “Symbad’s adventure” Which is EXACTLY like “It’s a Small World” only it’s on Symbad, a character from Aladdin.

You just go onto a boat and watch these dolls move around. Only the dolls are more realistic the way they move than Small World.

And then they have this kind of fire works display on the water again. It’s not the main fire works display though. There’s a bigger one later on that both disney Sea and Disney Land can see.

But here is the one on the water. IT’S AMAZING! Really well done as well!

So we managed to ride everything in Disney Sea, and so the next day we went on to Disney Land.

There was this really cool stimulator called “Storm Rider” You’re mission is basically to break a storm. And it feels so real!!

We did every single ride there!

And then there was a light parade which was my favorite parade. It’s also my mother’s favorite thing of Disneyland.

It’s this parade where the floats are covered in LIGHTS!!!!

It’s beautiful! there are different floats for different movies.

This is the fairy from Pinochio

It was sooo pretty!

So after finishing that, we spent the last day of Diney land on BOTH parks!

Then we went sight seeing Japan.

There was a place called “Kiddy Land” Which is a 5 storey high toy store, bigger than Toys R Us!!

On the Second level, there was a shop of EVERYTHING Hellokitty.

Here is the stairs leading to the second floor with everything hellokitty

And then, because we’re celebrating Hello kitty’s anniversary, they had their own table full of the Hellokitty anniversary themed merchandise. So colorful.

And they had this whole entire shelf full of sanrio plushies!!!! Mainly Hellokity, but they also had other ones like My melody, and other non-Sanrio ones as well like just pandas or dogs or other stuff like that.

I remember, when I was really little, I would go to China Town with my family for dinner and there was this Hellokitty shop right across from it. And I always wanted a Hellokitty plush too. I never actually been to that shop. I only saw it from the outside. But yeah, I got alot of Hellokitty plushies now. hehe!

Yep, so here is the section full of all of the bento makers you can get here.

I bought these bento makers there, and I have already made a blog post on them, if you’d like to check it out here:

http://blog.sanriotown.com/sweet_strawberries96:hellokitty.com/2009/10/26/bought-a-hellokitty-bento-maker/

The first Half was copy and pasted into this blog post, so if you already read that part, you can skip that bit onto the bentos. xD

We didn’t go to Hellokitty land (Puro land) but that was just as great. But we DID go to Pokemon center! It’s actually quite a waste of time, because it’s really just a SHOP. Nothing more than a shop.

But it was good for my brothers. They went crazy over the merchandise.

But stuff there is REALLY expensive! A T-Shirt was like 60 USD!!! AHHHH!!! lolz.

But I bought a Piplup plush for my friend’s birthday. Piplup is her favorite pokemon character, because she has this NDS that she plays pokemon on.

And then we visited “Ginza” which is a really FAMOUS site of Tokyo. If you watch a lot of shows on Japan, you will see the famous Ginza.

There is a show called “I survived a Japanese Game Show” which is a bunch of Americans chosen to do a crazy Japanese game show called “Majide”

You can watch the entire season on youtube. I did. It’s really cool!

Anyways, the next day we went to one of the temples with all of these markets outside.

We went there mainly for the markets. hehe! But the temple is really gorgeous!

I was allowed to pick a souvenir for myself, and of course I chose the Hellokitty in a Japanese Kimono! I got it at Kiddy Land.

Yeah so I had a lot of fun! There was WAY MORE stuff we did, but that would be way too much to talk about on my blog!

I’ll be posting another post later on, more on the souvenirs I got in Japan. xD

But yeah, that was the main bits of my great trip to Japan!

MY NUMBER ONE BEST VACATION SO FAR!

-Sweet_Strawberries96@hellokitty.com

I just got back from Japan, on holiday and got a HELLOKITTY bento maker!!!!!!

We even had a total Japanese dinner last night. We bought all of this different Japanese cutlery and stuff.

I have another blog post on some other bento makers I bought a long time ago. You can check it out here:

http://blog.sanriotown.com/sweet_strawberries96:hellokitty.com/2009/09/06/bought-a-bento-maker/

I’ll be making a separate blog post on my whole trip to Tokyo. But I will talk about the Hellokitty bits anyways, while I’m at it, since that’s where I got my bento makers.

So in my trip to Japan, I wasn’t able to go to Hellokitty land (Puro land) but I DID go to Kiddy land. And yes it’s “Kiddy” not “Kitty”

Kiddy land is a huge shop with 5 floors of nothing but TOYS! And the Second floor is ALL HELLO KITTY!!!!

Here is the stairs leading to the second floor with everything hellokitty

And then, because we’re celebrating Hello kitty’s anniversary, they had their own table full of the Hellokitty anniversary themed merchandise. So colorful.

And they had this whole entire shelf full of sanrio plushies!!!! Mainly Hellokity, but they also had other ones like My melody, and other non-Sanrio ones as well like just pandas or dogs or other stuff like that.

I remember, when I was really little, I would go to China Town with my family for dinner and there was this Hellokitty shop right across from it. And I always wanted a Hellokitty plush too. I never actually been to that shop. I only saw it from the outside. But yeah, I got alot of Hellokitty plushies now. hehe!

Yep, so here is the section full of all of the bento makers you can get here.

And here is all of the bento makers I bought:

This is the mold to create the face

And then here is this cool shape cutter to make hellokitty shaped carrots!!!!

Here is more hellokitty face molds with the rabbit as well.

And then this is to create the seaweed face!!!! It works exactly like a paper hold puncher, only it’s for SEAWEED! And it will make hellokitty’s face and her bow with just a press of a button!

Cute eh?

Anyways, here is the shop. it’s not the entire shop, it’s only HALF of it! But it took me FOREVER to choose something!

And so I finally chose this cute Hellokitty in a KIMONO!!! It’s sooooo cute! Here is the front of Hellokitty in her kimono:

And here is the back. I usually don’t show the back of things, because there is nothing really interesting about them. But her kimono was soooo pretty, that even the back was really interesting!

I love the huge bows at the back of the kimonos. They’re really pretty.

Yeah so we had a Japanese dinner! We spent all last night preparing for the dinner. I helped make the bentos of course. ^^

and we even set up the table with all of the Japanese cutlery we bought from Japan too.

Here is what it looked like. We put Hellokitty in, since it was Japanese.

And then here is a close up of hellokitty in her kimono, at the table:

Most of my trip to Japan was in Disneyland!

But I’m going to post that LATER, so STAY TUNED!!! Japan was so awesome!!! My best vacation so far!

SEE YA THERE!

-Sweet_Strawberries96@hellokitty.com

I’M LEAVING FOR JAPAN TOMORROW FOR HOLIDAY!

I’ll be sure to take tons of photos! This will be my first time to step foot in Japan. I’m so excited!

We’re going to the Disney land there as well, as sight seeing Japan. IT’S GOING TO BE SO MUCH FUN!

I won’t be blogging until next week around, so check back sometime in one week!

SEE YA!

My friends gave me a whole bunch of bday presents yesterday, at school!

This present was from my friend, Rachel:

I took a picture of the wrapping paper, as well because it was Hellokitty.

And she also gave me this Hellokitty Pez!

THANKS RACHEL!

Then, here’s what Sally gave to me, and of course she got me hellokitty. xD

And she worked real hard to make this card as well.

THANKS SALLY!

And then, from Tsz Wai she gave me this Bento, lunch box where I can hold all of my bentos without getting them squished in my bag!!!

THANKS TSZ WAI!

And then, from Agnes she gave me this huge pillow at school, that wouldn’t even fit in my locker! So I carried it around school. lol

And then here is a a little Hellokitty bag she also gave me

And then lastly, Agnes also gave me this little “Be bear” wallet. I don’t konw what “be bear” is, but it’s cute. ^^

THANKS AGNES!

And then, Fong Jie made me this butterfly bracelet, as you can see.

I had so much fun at the party! We went for dinner and watched the Proposal. Which was a really funny movie!

And then my parents got me a Hellokitty cellphone, that you can read more about on my blog here:

THANKS FOR READING!

-Sweet_Strawberries96@hellokitty.com

I GOT A HELLOKITTY CELLPHONE TODAY, AS A EARLY BDAY PRESENT!

Its a Sony Ericson phone. Pretty isn’t it??

It’s one of those sliding phones. It even came with this Hellokitty theme! It’s sooo cute!

THANKS MOM AND DAD!!!!!!! xoxoxoxoxoxoxxoxoxxoxoxo

I GOT THIS HELLOKITTY MOONCAKE FROM MEI SUM!

Is it not the cutest thing?

It’s quite tasty actually. ^^ Even the middle… Usually I hate the middle bits in the cake, but this isn’t so bad. ^^

Here is the cake, with the cover:

It even came with this lunch box that I can take to school!

Thyphoon 8, no school… But it doesn’t matter. Even if there was a typhoon I still wouldn’t be able to go to school, CUZ I’M SICK! AHHHHHHH

I’m stuck in my room, either: drawing, reading, sleeping, drinking water, or eating… It’s so boring…

I’m doing a whole new album or drawings on my tablet today. I’m almost done, and I think I’m going to put it into another video again! Like my other two drawing videos. It’s still Sailormoon of course… There is nothing else fun to draw around here, so I usually draw the scouts and Sailor moon.

Please view my previous drawing videos!

Scout Drawings: (COMMENT AND RATE PLEASE!)

Sailormoon Drawings:(COMMENT AND RATE PLEASE!)

http://video.sanriotown.com/video/d11b85bf6ae8c1e8

Yes, so I think I’m going to make a third drawing video, so STAY TUNED!

I just need to finish the outer senshi and I’ll be done!!

I JUST BOUGHT THESE CUTE BENTO MAKERS TODAY!

A bento is basically just a japanese styled food turned into little Kawaii (cute) faces. Here are some examples: (F.Y.I. I did not make these bentos. These are bentos searched at google. If you want to find these go to google images and type in “Kawaii Bentos”)

Most bentos are rice based. And other veggies put into it, to make it look cute.

Seriously, how can anyone possibly eat this!???? It’s WAY TOO CUTE, to be eaten!

Anyways, I bought these cool Bento kits today.

Here is a “Face Puncher” thingy, that is basically a paper puncher, but it’s for SEAWEED!!!!!! So you can punch out seaweed faces!!!

I bet you can even use regular paper punchers, you can get a stationary stores and use those. That would be soooooo かわいい!!! In other words, Cute.

And here is the rice, face shaper. They’re basically rice molds that you push the rice into and then take them out, and you’ll have a rice with a face shaped as an animal or whatever the mold shape is. I bought the animal molds. かわいい isn’t it?

And then I bought another set of Bento face shapers. Another animal shaper. Personally, I think these shapers are better. Because the spoon ones I previously showed you had this button to push out the rice. But it’s so fragile it could break unfortunately.

These are easier to use. And these won’t break as easily.

Ok, so here is my final product for my bentos.

Honestly, this is the first time making bentos!!!!!! Pretty good, eh?

There are some Japanese moms who would spend HOURS making bentos for they’re girls for school, that compete with the other Japanese moms for the “Cutest Bentos” And they can make REALLY ELABORATE ONES TOO! Right now I’m an amateur at this, my first time!

Here is a closer look at one of the plates I did:

I even made a little Hellokitty in there too, You see?

IS IT かわいい OR WHAT????

LOL!

Anyways, I think I’m going to make bentos for school lunch!!! Haha! But I’ll have to wake up extra early!

Look at these SHAPED watermelons, for $9999! I found this like a week ago, and thought it would be really cool to blog about them.

But it’s cool.

OMG IT’S AWESOME! But it was really short though. AND I WASN’T EVEN ALLOWED TO TAKE PICTURES! I WAS SO MAD AT THAT FACT! But There were some people taking pictures, so I took pictures when they did (Naughty me.)

But it was SO COOL! It’s like walking through the streets of Tokyo except it’s all hellokitty. The place is so adorable, it’s like a miniature replica of Tokyo with all of these Hellokitty buildings! It would be so cool to live there. Like I mean living actually in your own building there because everything is life size, yet small except it’s all hellokitty.

They even had the Tokyo Tower there!

Here is one of the buildings, the “Kitty Boutique” where you can choose your kitty’s outfit.

And here is inside of it:

I especially loved the “Kitty Cafe” which was this bakery, and it was sooo cute! I wished I lived there! xD

Ok, here is the story:

So the Kitty lab, our mission was suppose to restore the “cloud Kitty” into a normal kitty.

So once you step into the Kitty lab, you give them your ticket. I won 2 free tickets to the Kitty lab, from Sanriotown. The tickets are SO EXPENSIVE! I’m so glad I won them!

You can view my grand prize entry at the sanriotown official blog. My entry was the “Go Hong Kong Kitty”

Here is the link:

http://blog.sanriotown.com/blog/2009/08/06/winners-of-the-hello-kitty-personality-workshop-contest/

Yeah, so when you give them your ticket, they give you this “Kitty Cloud” plastic thing, that’s light up and there is some sort of scanner thing at the bottom of it, and it will allow you to complete your mission to restoring it to Hellokitty.

Basically you’re suppose to restore the plastic cloud you carry around, and the cloud will allow you to access the games at the Kitty lab.

Then they give you this free octopus card holder which is really cool, because it’s like limited edition. Yeah so… And then they will also give you a map of the Kitty lab.

And then if you restore your hellokitty before 36 minutes, you get a Kitty lab badge! (AWESOME!)

Yeah, so you go around and play games to restore you Kitty. Everytime you win a game, then you can choose accessories, dresses, faces, body parts, eyes and stuff like that for your new restored Hellokitty. If you lose the game, then the computer will randomly choose an item for you.

The games aren’t that hard, but I only lost once to a hard game. Even my friend, Tsz Wai, wasn’t able to win that game either!

You place your plastic cloud on to the scanner and it will write the data on to your cloud so that it will create your kitty!

Yep. So the place is so cool! In the begining you will walk through an “Air port” (not really) But it looks like an airport and you have to go through customs and stuff like that, and it’s really cute. It actually looks like a mini air port and they even have an KTR!!!

you can’t really get the joke if you live in Hong Kong. But in Hong Kong there is a Train system called the “MTR” and “KT” stands for “Kitty/Hellokitty” So it’s the “KTR” LOL!

And the Station is called the “Neko San Station” And in Japanese, “Neko” is cat!

Yeah, so after the game, you will walk through the KTR they will scan the written data on to your plastic hellokitty cloud, and it will appear on the computer, all of the collected items, and parts of your kitty on the screen. And they will print your Kitty ID card, for you. And we managed to get through the kitty lab within the 36 minutes.

Actually I kind of regretted going to the KTR. Actually I didn’t know what the KTR was, until I went there and then I had to leave so I couldn’t go back.

You see, the Neko San Train Station looks like the MTR!!! They even had made up advertisement bill boards! Which is really cute. And they even had those signs that tell you which line your heading too like the “Apple Line”!!!

Sorry the picture is kind of fuzzy. I was walking while I was taking th pic cuz I was afraid I’d get caught!!! LOL!

But I got the badge anyways. It’s really cute.

But it was really fun! I wish I stayed longer! It was sooooo cute! The whole entire place was like a miniature Japan, except it’s hellokitty!

SO AWESOME!

Yeah, and at the back of the Kitty ID card where they have your Kitty, there is a password you can enter into the www.kittylab.com, so you can retrieve a digital copy of your Hellokitty you made at the kitty lab!!!!!!

Here is the picture:

You see the shoes are very ugly, because I lost the really hard game! X_X

And here is the ID card I recieved:

The Back: (You see the picture of the ID? I know it’s kind of blurry but it was suppose to be the above digital picture)

And the Front:

AHHH IT WAS SO FUN! I WANNA GO AGAIN, AND IF I DO, (Which will probably will never happen) I WANNA STAY LONGER!!!

IT WAS SO FUN!!!! I keep saying that! But I’m glad I went!

But it’s true! But I don’t think buying the tickets, is actually worth going. Because you like spend 100 HKD or something like that, just to stay for like less than 36 minutes. The games are actually really quick. But it was fun. I got like 200 HKD for FREE, for winning. Well I didn’t get 200 HKD from winning , but the free tickets were worth 200 HKD. so I just saved myself 200 HKD by winning the tickets to kitty lab! WOOH HOOOOO!!!
