Gate 20
A-3 block
http://www.tokyo-dome.co.jp/dome/shisetu/seat3.htm
3/29
Gate 20
B-13 block ( a little nearer to centre of stage)
http://www.tokyo-dome.co.jp/dome/shisetu/seat1.htm
3/30
Gate 23
I dun understand the seating coz it is does not state Arena. It is the 3 xx (it is the character on the left of 1st row's G37) i dun have hiragana software). So, i hope it is first row?! It must be my wishing thinking... If it is true, will throw away my binoculars...It shall be my happiest moment alive!~
http://www.tokyo-dome.co.jp/dome/shisetu/seat2.htm
Also, a SUPER DUPER GREAT DISCOVERY THIS EVENING!! After dinner, Masashi-san said " you may watch cnn or cnbc news coz we have cable channels. So, he taught me how to use the 3 controllers (@_@"). He was flipping the channels and i spotted this WOWOW channel. It was stated in X-Japan's site saying there is a live telecast (?!) of 3/28 concert.
It states X-Japan live = 1830 - 00:00 on the WOWOW Channel!! So, i asked Masashi-san if he can record it. He said "Yes, i can record it in my vcr and transfer/compress it into dvd for you."
My eyes immediately lit up when i heard that. BUT he said he never tried recording before, so if he cannot fulfill my wish, he is very sorry. I said it is ok coz i understand he do his best. So, he went to pre-set the timer for recording. I AM SOOO HAPPY if he is able to record it. Vonnie and SY, will burn ur an exclusive copy when im back,XD!!~
My host's English is basic but my friend's mother's English is the best among them coz she is a junior high school teacher. Father host (Masashi-san) learns English once a week at his company. So, he has improved alot despite his sentence is mixture of japanese and English. It can be understood though. He always apologise..i feel sooo embarrased.
Today, he helped me filled up the Reserved seat form for bullet train to Toyama on 4/1. He searched the JR train site real hard!!~ It was really hardwork for him. After that, he gave me a clear file folder to put all the directions/papers. He also fixed up my handy phone and internet connection. Now, he will try to record from the cable tv too. I'm million times to him. Mother host prefers cooking only. So, only left Father host to help me.
Ah,,,,heven is soooooooo kind to me..im soooooooooo grateful beyond words!!!~It will be such a priceless trip!~ Esp if the 3/30 seat is on the 1st row. Im feeling greedy now,,dreaming to shake hands with Yoshiki XD (daydream again)
Not going to Shibuya tml, will go Tokyo Dome. Coz remembered a LS mentioned before that LS tour goods already start to sell on the eve of the concert..so, tml is the eve of concert..must be kiasu..hahah. if there's nothing happening there, then will go Shibuya.
After the supermarket, didnt go out,,so no new pics.... It's really interested to see the real Japan, esp in ulu neighbourhoods. It's really how they live. There's a programme on tv about 2 J-gals being a single mom. One was 15 and the other was 19. Mother host translated everything for me. First girl was a victim of domestic violence by her husband, so she left him. Now, she works day time and study part time. All her daughter's cost was paid for by her mother. So, she wants to get some qualification and find a better job.
The other girl now lives with another man. She is mother of 2 daughters at the age of 19! They lived in a very small place. She had to squat on the floor to mix chicken with flour and on the newspaper some more!
Oh yes, saw the new Gasby ad. It is the latest version. kimura was dancing in between 2 girls..as usual, it was funny!~ Another ad was promoting a brand of potato chip. One teacher was marking his students work while eating the chips. He also talked to the chip while marking. Suddenly, the principle appeared in front of him and he was jumped up from his seat. The ad ends with tat potato chip's packaging,,,lolz...i told Mother host Japanese ads are more fun to watch than the J-dramas..hahhaaha.
Ah,,free will,,they have bad reputation....

Spring time + Great seat!~
Sakura semi-bloom
Tree 1: White flower tree (Masako-san only know it's Japanese name) blooming outside fren's house (taken from 2nd fl of the house)
Tree 2
Neighbour - pots of beautiful flowers
Neighbour - Mikan treeWent supermarket with friend's mum just now. Tonite i will cook ma puo tofu ( i brought the sauce - in sachets) and ginseng chicken soup for my host.
Beautiful strawberries. Per punnet is only Y298 (about 20pcs). soo cheap!~ Im surprise by its price coz in Singapore, Japanese strawberries are super ex. Friend's mum bought some. It was so beautiful tat i must take a pic before i eat.
Living Room. Miffy air blown mascot. It was a gift from their family friend. The female Miffy is no longer floating, so they threw it away.In front of the sofa (on the floor) is a super big LCD tv. Masako-san said her husband paid alot for it. It's a Sony.
Neighbourhood
Boss coffee. It is regular milk coffee with nice packaging..XD
Cheese fishcake but it was not as tasty as i tot. It was warm outside but inside is soggy and oily. So, i ate half only. Luckily its only Y105 Just received my 3/30 tickets!~ Finally, the seat for last show is excellent. It is Gate 23, facing the stage!!~ YAY~!! http://www.tokyo-dome.co.jp/dome/shisetu/seat.htm Now awaits for the 3/29 tickets,,XD
My keitai was fixed by Masashi-san last nite. He also fixed the internet cable in my room. Using the internet in my room made me feel soo isolate. So, i use it at the usual place, the dining room. He was soo apologetic coz he had a hard time figuring out the cable lines. I felt soo paiseh..
Tomorrow will go to Harajuku and Shibuya area.
just now so silly
just now post this at the VS site coz was deleting some items..soo stupid of me. So, i quicky deleated the whole thing.Now staying with my friend's parents at Chiba. Last Sat emailed them to ask which day wld be good for me to visit them,,instead, the reply saying it is better to stay with them rather than ikebukuro coz it is unsafe (?!). So, i went to cancel the Ikebukuro place. Heng only had to pay S$38 for the no-show penalty and get back about S$550. Will pay half of it to my friend's parents and half is for my transport fees fm Chiba to Shibuya etc as only partial is covered by JR pass. My friend Aya married last Nov,so now only left her brother and parents at home. They are all out on weekdays. Her father Masashi-san is a very hospitable man. He called at 5pm to ask his wife Masako-san if i had arrived their house safely. He mentioned in email saying "pls use house freely like your own house". It was very kind of him. Now, im using my laptop with some "Angel's wireless". (My host uses cable line).
Their wooden floor and stairs are very cold. Today at the airport, it is soo hot and humid. The custom clearence was 1hr's wait,,omg. And im carrying a haversak back and a hand held small trolley..soo heavy!~ Heng,i used the luggage delivery service to transfer my main big luggage to my host house. It is about S$25, so it is affordable. From train station to my host house needs 15mins walk and crossing of a few roads + some slopes. Cant imagine i lugged all these items and walk...
Had miso soup with potato, steamed mini squids and seafood salad for dinner. It was cooked my Masako-san. I cooked my otah which was frozen all the way here, wrapped in newspapers and hid among my hand held bag of clothes..lolz. Glad the custom didnt ask me to open any bags.
The keitai i dunno hw to activate despite got all the instructions from my fren. Dunno i stupid or wat..so, emailed my sis to tell her ive arrived safely..later will ask Masashi-san. Today he has English classes, so he will be back late, around 11pm. Nvm,let him rest ba,,tml den ask also can. He enjoys learning English too, just like my friend Ayako. Masako-san's English is the best. Only Kenta (Aya's bro) dun like English. He only know my name, say hai, yes, ok, no to me..lolz. He loves to eat natto (fermented beans?), is a drummer, 2nd year U student and loves computer games. Just saw him. He is fitter but he said "i am fat"..XD
The excess baggage charge for per kg is S$32!~ OMG,,my luggage was overweight, so i took my jeans and some gifts and transferred it to my haversack. My laptop was also in my haversak. can just imagine hw heavy my haversack was? Layed it on the floor at the custom clearence just now and moved it by hand rather than carry it on my back.
Now, the window seats cannot be choosen for free. It cost S$25 per seat. Hmm, missed the days when it was free..lolz.
Mashashi-san is home. He said i can use internet in my room instead in the living room. XD. Wah,,so good de lor!! ~ Really it is better than the guesthouse!!~~
Going to talk to him liao~~

New Discovery today~!~
Today the postman that came is no longer the Malay uncle. It was a young chap. So, i asked him "where is the uncle?"
He: He no longer serves this area, he got transferred to West Coast. Now, Singpost no longer hire full-timers, so we are under contract basis (part-timers).
Me: Oh,, ok.
It kept me ponder for a while after he left. Singpost no longer want to pay the benefits for permanent staffs. The uncle told me before that after they served 30yrs (something like that), they can get a lump sum payout. Singpost's new policy is very much like our government's, who wants us to buy annualties so we can take care of ourselves when we are old. They dont want to pay for us. Reminds me of the book by Donald Trump + Robert Kiyosaki "Why we want you to be rich". It touches on this subject too. It says the biggest mistake most individual make is the "Entitlement Mentality". They think it is the government/company 's job to take care of them. Time has change..
Went to the post office to mail some stuffs and shopped some gifts for my Japanese friends. Bought bak kwa, cookies etc. Will hand carry all these food stuffs in a baggage coz if put in the suitcase, it will crash big time.
Managed to get a ticket for a Ayumi show on 4/6 yoyogi show. It is a level 2 seat. Hope it is facing the stage... This is my first pop concert,,hahah,,i wonder hw it is like..
Hope to go to LM.C's tour venue on 3/28 at Shibuya AX before i go to Tokyo Dome. It's been such a long wait to find their tour goods.
I shld be grateful for being able to get into the X concert and not grumple sooo much.. im lucky not to be seating at the back of the stage. As the saying goes, the grass is greener on the other side. Who knows, if i get a back seat facing the stage, i would want a seat nearer to the stage. Bad Chwa!~
Discovered a new place today. It is Takayama:
http://www.hida.jp/english/index.htm
Im particularly interested in their Old houses and Folk Village. Will plan to go.,,
No eyes to see my schedule. It is choppy and half filled only. That explains my headache. Last night took a pocket size notebook and copy down the steps/directions of transportations and their timings to all the places i want to go.
I have to wake up at 5-6am most times if im travelling to other perfectures. Each journey is at least 2.5hrs. I dont want to reach the destination in the afternoon, so i gotta go as early as possible. Zzzzz
Hey Christine, sorry to hear about your squabbles with ur bro again. Such fights are common among siblings, so pls do not take it to heart.
Wow,,,u actually ohh and ahhh over the choker for 10 mins? When i saw the choker, i immediately tot of you. So, i ordered it to give u a nice and early surprise. Kinda worried it cant reach you on time coz there was no exact date on when the GC items will be released.
Im so envious of Voni,,she had a chance to hug all members of MUCC!!~~ OMG!!~
Im trying to get Glay's ticket as well. The results will be out on 3/24...keeping my fingers crossed.

Headache
Hi Christine, was just about to email u to ask if you had received the Gem cerey package. Glad you did and the ring fits nicely on you ^^. Btw, the H&A choker is your birthday gift. Ive ordered and request it to be sent to you along with your GC ring. Im happy you are looking for a black choker too!!~~~ I just thought this choker is sooo You coz you really looked nice with choker!!~ It is one of their new items too.
Wow, you got Karyu's autograph on ur ipod~~~ cooL!~~ I cant open the imagshack links though. Only can see the autograph session.
Im happy to hear you have made up with ur brother. Glad all is well now. Pls take good care of yourself. You must have been very busy lately to lost 2lbs!~~
Been having headaches for the past 3 days each morning when i woke up,,i think it is the pre-trip sydrome....im nervous coz i dont know what to expect XD.
The X-Japan tour goods list is out:
http://www.xjapan.ne.jp/shop/index.html
It is interesting that the main X site has a countdown to the concert day:
http://www.xjapan.ne.jp/
From my seat, dont think i will see the drum sets. I shld be seeing the stage for the drums instead. The drum sets have its own stage. Hope 1'll have a better seating for the next 2 shows. I prefer the center view and dont mind to sit further from the stage. Sit at the sides, got bino also no use...only can see their back. im soo grumpy...

3/28 seatings!!~~
My friend received the 3/28 tickets this morning. My seating is very corner.
It is Arena A-3 (Gate 20, left), quite front but very corner.
http://www.tokyo-dome.co.jp/dome/shisetu/seat.htm
Realised in front of the A columns, there are 2 rows of 1st seatings. Think it is the VIP seats. Scully sees Hyde, Teru, Ruki, Diru, Ryuichi etc *daydreams*
I think from my location, can only see the drum sets .. nvm lar,,it is Yoshiki. Shall stare at him with my binocular..kekeke. Besides him, i want to see Pata and Heath..my passion for Toshi kinda fades..
Hope dun have those lightings and speakers blocking the sides. Last time Ah Xing said some fan's seatings have pillars blocking their view at gaze's live at budokan. He is thankful his seatings has clear view. I scared leh,,,,
Vonnie, if can auction life, also good,,can try out ppl's life. If Ruki auctions his life, u dont wish to try meh? However, it is temporary lah. Tat Aussie guy;s life is being auctioned for 2 weeks only. after that, he became normal again. Oh yes, ur gaze photos coming this Sat, Sun wat shift r u?
