There are two types of room;
2) Annex Suites – 6 suites with private bathroom/toilets. There even has a mini living room, refrigerator, water boiler and microwave oven inside the suites.
Nicole and I opt for Japanese-style room to experience the living style of the Japanese.
Cosy and warm room for two guests cost ¥6,000 per night.
Ignore the messy things and bag.
The super duperb clean bathroom.
There’s even an open kitchen for you to cook your food and enjoy your meals.
THREE MAIN REASONS I love this guest house are:
1) Free breakfast provided (bread, fruits jam, butter) at 7 a.m. But the lady is so kind when she heard that we are leaving as early as 4.30 to the Tsukiji Fish Market (click here), she prepared and put on the table for us.
2) Free 3 minutes call to call back home – During our 8 days trip in Japan, we were unable to call back home. Don’t know what is the problem with Digi and Maxis line (not sure for Celcom). The only way to connect back home is through net. But thanks God! The lady told us that we can use the phone which located at the front desk for free. So, immediately call my mother and told her I am OK.
3) Not only free wireless Internet in the room, but they even allow us to use the Internet PC for free. I almost need to pay ¥50 for the usage of half hour of Internet PC during the stay in J-Hoppers (click here) but luckily I hold on my plan to do so. The reason why I need PC is to transfer all the photo from our camera to the external hardisk which I brought to there. You know how life could be miserable while you are taking photo during travelling and your camera is showing this, “MEMORY FULL”! Gosh.
The free PC which I conquered most of the time.
Highly recommended guest house for those who travel with budget that comes with good amenities and facilities and great location. There are two 24 hours convenience store such as 7-11 and even McDonald nearby the guest house.
>Chatime – Good Tea Good Time?

During my study life of 4 years in Kuala Lumpur, it’s hardly for me to hunt any bubble tea or pearl milk tea around Kuala Lumpur. And even if I found it, it only can be seen in a small and tiny stand shop in shopping centre or in night market.
Not until recently I came across of few bloggers who blog about the opening of Taiwan’s beverage franchise called Chatime which is famous for its bubble tea. So, I put this on my list as “The Thing I Must Search For” during my short visit to Kuala Lumpur last few days.
So before I’m going to KL, doing some research where can I get a cup of this famous bubble tea around KL city. Thanks God that I can get it either from Times Square or Pavilion as I can only lepak around these 2 places during my 2 days visit in Kuala Lumpur.
Located at Lower Ground Floor, Berjaya Times Square.
They even offer variety of Winter Melon Tea.
The signature drinks.
Long list of the beverage products to choose from.
And I choose Mango Green Tea.
It is so refreshing and rejuvenating especially to cool down my body in the hot hot weather of KL.

Without noticing, we were almost closed to the end of our Japan trip. During our second day in Tokyo, we went to one of the infamous Japan’s Holy Mountain, Mount Fuji.
Mount Fuji, a dormant volcano is the highest mountain in Japan and its perfectly symmetrical volcanic cone is well-known as Japan’s symbol. But do you know where is the best places to view Mount Fuji from a close distance?
As there is no direct access to Mount Fuji by train, the most nearer staging points are either Fujiyoshida or Kawaguchiko. Both of us opt for Kawaguchiko instead.
Food vendor machines are everywhere.
Saw the temperature?
However, the mountain is not always visible to view due to the clouds and poor visibility. OK! We are unlucky one to see the world most beautiful mountain and perfectly shaped volcano.
I am dog lover.
If I see dog everytime I’m on going, sure won’t miss out any opportunity to snap them.
For example, during my Wales trip, few photo with dogs which I took (click here)
We will come back to visit you again, Mr Fuji!
Anyway, I got myself to grab this – Blueberry Cheese Cake Kit Kat (limited edition).
Only available at Mount Fuji train station.
There are more varieties of Kit Kat in Japan.
Want to know more? Stay tune for my never ever finish Japan post.

Had you watch the match last Sunday between the Red Devils and Chelsea in the English Premier League? The Red Devils scored a goal within the first minute. OK! Now I sounds like I gonna blog about sport report. I am not gonna blog about what happens during the match and what is the final score but I am gonna blog about the Red Devils
Again, this is my backdate post and suddenly I realised before this, I ever said want to post about this (click here) but then again, blame my worst sickness, “Short-Term-Memory (STM)”. Not until last Sunday, accompanied TTM watched this match at my home together with my dad, while waiting for the second half match, I showed my picture to TTM. From there, I only realised that I never blog about this. And now, I’m taking this chance to bring you all to the Red Devils’s stadium.
The Red Devils is the nickname of Manchester United and the name of the stadium is Old Trafford. During my study in UK, the uni organised a day trip of the virtual tour to Old Trafford Stadium, the home of Manchester United Football Club. So without thinking too much, immediately I signed up and registered for this day trip. My uni organised lots of day trip on every weekend for summer students like us.
Here we come to kick the ball (Neh, I am kaki bangku=P)
The journey from my uni to Manchester took almost one and half hour.
Finally, I got the chance to see the glory and great stadium right in front of my eyes
The place where the roar of 76,000 fans came from.
Reserved for the players and also here where Fergie keep shouting “GOAL! GOAL! GOAL!”
I’m not a big fan of MU but to show to my dad, who is absolutely big fan of MU.
He never ever miss each and every MU match.
Smell Ronaldo and Rooney’s soaking sweat =P
The spa pool.
Did you spot what I spot? Our own Malaysia’s budget airline on the sponsored board
Spotted the former MU superstar player.
Players’ autograph book.
Guess who is Brooklyn?
Although can’t take pic with the real player, but this already makes me feel satisfy for it.
“During this virtual tour you’ll get a taste of the history of Manchester United, and move a little closer to understanding just why the club has touched the hearts of so many. Enjoy your visit.” – by Sir Bobby Charlton.
