When in Tokyo in Pictures
by shz
Day One
In the morning, trying to find Asakusa
D loving her time in front of Tokyo National Museum
Strolling around Ueno Park
Asakusa at last
Ueno at night
While waiting to get food
Day Two
While you were sleeping
This is Odaiba
Little girl happy
This is Ginza – ready for an architectural trip!
Not Hermes, but Renzo Piano!
Not Makimoto, but Toyo Ito!
Not Dior, but Fuksas!
Its not the Prada, its the building! Ok, maybe a little Prada won’t hurt
Day Three
Went to Yokohama with some nice Japanese speaking people, otherwise we wouldn’t be able to get there. It was purposely just for the sake to see the Osanbashi Pier, designed by Foreign Office Architects. I drooled at the pictures of the project when I was a student, so it was quite thrilling to step on those timber deckings.
Yokohama Terminal, baybee!
Would’ve been a sin as an architect not to go there since it was just an hour away!
One favorite pix with favorite girl I knew since I was six!
With my other favorite girl that I knew since she was born
With my guy
Inside the column-less space
With the rest of the gang
Cherishing our youths
I had to stock Chuppa Chups like apocalypse just to make sure she’s quiet
Day Four & Five
Had some Japanese breakfast, just for 300 yen
My girl in the morning
The garden
Crossing the famous crossings at Shibuya

This is where we spent our leftover yens
OK, at this point I’m already tired of uploading pictures. There are lots more but I hope you can sum up of what an amazing holiday I just had. I’m trying to think the things I might’ve left in previous entry, if I missed something great to say about the city, but I guess I’m no travel writer. I just write from my experience, a very personal experience, between me and Tokyo.

the pink boots of Daisy is too cute!
love that picture (Daisy wearing pick stripe top), rasa macam nak cilok je gambar tu buat profile kat FB. heheee..
Little D is such a cutie. How was she behaving the whole trip (especially when there’s no Chupa Chupa around?). I’m always anxious when travelling with my boy. Although in the end, it’s actually not bad at all travelling with a toddler, kan?
Btw, couldn’t help but notice, wasn’t the Xplory in Green before?
Well, I think 6 days was probably too much for her. In the flight to Tokyo she was such a darling, slept long and no tantrums. It was like that for the whole time until the 5th day. There were some drama at Shibuya when I forgot to change her diaper and found out she had wet in her stroller. I didn’t bring extra clothes, and we couldn’t find toilets and she was screaming like crazy! It was my bad, I felt really bad. We spent like half an hour in the women’s toilet washing n drying her clothes using the hand dryer. Then that night she woke us at 4am and we couldn’t sleep until 6am. Then on the flight back to Msia also she couldn’t sleep. Our flight was 11.45pm and it was her bed time. Kesian dia, and we were miserable jugak lah.
But generally on the whole trip she was OK. She didn’t catch a flu despite the weather, she slept in the stroller during her nap times, she ate a lot and the was no major problems. Only problems occurred because we were slightly careless.
The thing travelling with a child is that you have to go through the worst case scenarios n prepare for it. But even that sometimes u missed something like I did. How stupid of me not to bring her extra clothes. But I’m glad I brought her with me, she seemed to enjoy it and it was such an adventure because of her. Otherwise it would’ve been just another trip to places.
Oh yea, we changed the textile on the Xplory. Saja, boleh tukar-tukar. Got a bargain from Bebehaus too.
Oh that reminded me of my Jakarta trip when my boy wet his pants sampai I pun basah sekali coz I dukung dia..simply because I lupa pakaikan pampers yg tebal sikit. Instead he was wearing the thin diapers pants type yg boleh last only for a few hours and I totally forgot about it.
You’re right – sometimes the kids gets difficult because we parents yg made it difficult. But I wouldn’t leave him in a second too if I were to travel anywhere. Tak boleh tido malam nanti. Me not the baby. :=)
Hahaha, kelakar. You, not the baby! Same here pls! LOL
LOVE LOVE LOVE Little D’s jacket int he 2nd picture!!
I can imagine how wonderful a holiday it was for you, your family and the rest of the gang! Jeles!
shaz, you look so elegant and charm in red. đŸ˜‰
Thank you. That is a very old coat. Nasib baik I didn’t give it away to charity like the other clothes masa nak balik Msia for good.
Love the pink boots of Daisy.
Love the picture with caption
“This is Ginza – ready for an architectural trip!”
Love the Xpensive Xplory both in yellow and green.
Love and envy this Japan trip =)
Love the way you divide yourself between work and family.
Love this blog because it better for my English to be improved!

Thank you! And I love this comment. Hehehehe..
Dear Shz,
Mind sharing what’s the name of the ryokan place you’re staying during your visit to Tokyo? My family and I are going next February. We would be very happy if you could share the place with us.
Tks love.
