Besides holidays to Las Vegas, I also love holidaying in Japan and I sometimes feel like I belong in Japan. Maybe that's why Tokyo is one of my favourite cities in the whole world! What I loved most about being in Japan last month was the efficiency I enjoyed EVERYWHERE we went. 
Throughout our stay, we took the public transportation of course; cab rides in Japan are very costly. B did an awesome job of being our official tour guide, deciphering this map; which if you ask me, is oh so confusing! But then again my sense of direction has always been bad.
Anyway, the trains never fail to arrive on time, and commuters queue up when boarding. There is no need to push or cut queues; Japanese are well-behaved and respectful. Seats in trains meant for the elderly are rightfully occupied and the trains are always spic and span inside.
Dining in restaurants and fast food outlets is also a pleasant experience. With impeccable service and everything in place for your complete convenience, dining in Japan was memorable! Patrons diligently return their trays and trash empty boxes according to the where they should be discarded and again; we were always promptly served. I also have to stress on the politeness of Japanese; something we Malaysians can't shout about when it comes to customer service.
It seems like everything from customer service and high-quality products to efficiency and even factory maintenance, Japan has it all covered. Is it a wonder then why Japan remains in my heart?

Wah GP.. you really sounds like you LOVE Japan!! but then again.. who would not love efficiency kan.. something that is dreadfully lacking here..
Recent blog post: Monthly Thank You - June 09 ***

Yeeeha semua org takde and this is ur first chop here this month, awesome! :)
You said it well dearie, of coz I LOVE Japan, cause I LOVE efficiency. Sure if I stay in Japan I won have to throw tantrums! :)
Singapore also very efficient, commendable! Cuma M’sia ni je kureng sikit, we really shld buck up u know? :(
Lama gak u tak balik Sing yeah?
Hahah.. tulah.. lol.
_____
Awesome streamyx.. yihaa!!
_____
Haha.. sure or not. mesti ada inefficiency jugak kot.. but lesser lah ..
hehe
_____
YES.. see capital letters tu. Msia have to buck up to keep up!
_____
Yeap. mommy just asked me just now..lol.. I told her after move lah..
_____
Thanks for chopping dearie…haven seen my MPG ad on Adgi so far!
We’d better not jinx it by talking abt it LJ, shhhh! Yay, enjoy it while it lasts! :)
Sufficient to satisfy me, which is saying a lot to what we have here! :)
Yeay for being FC1!
Eh you have to logout then only you will see your adgi.. as long as you are
login to adgi.. you wont see your ad.
_____
Yelah.. lol..
_____
Good one dearie, buck up to keep up, amende yg susah sangat tu, it’s all in the mentality, nurture it since young!
Wahhhh after move balik kampong pulak, LJ is a busy woman these days!
I agree!!!
_____
Is it??? Ok lemme finish dropping adgi and then I log out, few more left! U’ve seen MPG on Adgi edi?
What happens if we click more than 51 for Adgi LJ, dapat extra points tak?
Eas sebenarnye, cuma depa malas fikir! :(
missed it again! was in the shower for a while ;)
Recent blog post: Blackberry Cheesecake
I meant EASY!
AYie! FC2!! Yay you got this one sweetie! :)
Yeap.. the prob is a lot of pple here are easily contented. no willingness
to improve themselves.. lazy!!
_____
Haha.. very buzy bee!!
_____
Not yet.. I'm not surfing and I done my rounds earlier dah..
_____
Nope.. no extra points for clicking more than 51 blogs.. ahah.. just make
sure you post daily to earn the extra 100 points ok
_____
LOL! Ok LJ, I see MPG adgi now ha ha, awesome! :)
Malas fikir and malas berusaha. semua nak handed to them.. mana ada!!
_____
yey! told you i'll try my best to chop...though I didn't make it for fc1 :-D
how are you doin?
Recent blog post: Blackberry Cheesecake
Lazy wazy is the word dearie, some more dari kecik dah lazy…masa kat KLIA pun, I was irritated with the sambil lewa service! :(
Good to be busy, hope u settle ur move soon. Sure u can’t wait also to settle down and start unpacking for real, instead of ulang-alik! House pun dah empty, tunggu apa lagi tu?
I think I'll get confused too with all the tangling train and subway system in japan *DONT_KNOW*
Recent blog post: Blackberry Cheesecake
Hehehhe. awesome!!
If I still have internet tomorrow for sure I look it up!
_____
That's why lah.. they behave like they have all the time in the world kan?
So slow!!
_____
Ok, I am done with 51 adgi edi! Looking forward to results this month. :)
Tu la, I’m very sure adgi is still not giving me the post points for mpg and md. I really have to look into this cause otherwise wasted la my posts at MD and MPG!
Make me angers only thinking abt it sometimes LJ, cause seriously can see and feel the difference bet here and Jepun. :(
Yeap.. tomorrow cannot.. Friday too suntuk what with solat jumaat.. weekend
the new condo don't let pple move in or out.. so Monday I think.. or I hope
soo..lol!
Yes tak sabar!!
_____
FC2 is just as good Ayie, thanks for chopping! AM busy as usual, how abt you? I read in your earlier comments, you weren’t feeling well?
Oh yes.. do post your results ok ;)
_____
Same here Ayie! If it weren’t for B, I’d be totally and completely lost! Yay for B! :)
Make sure you put the rss feed for both blogs and if still nothing.. then
write to them.. Ken is very helpful.. I wrote him a few times when I don't
see my referral being displayed properly and they solved it in an instant
_____
Yay! Ok, hope ur still around tomo dearie, he he!
Of course. I feel it on a daily basis.. but have to sabar jer.even with A's
friends sometimes.. macam nak cekik2
_____
Slow sebab malas LJ! Masa nak balik kan, as in dah sampai, tak tgk muka I pun masa they checked the health form, continued sembang dgn the guy next to her. Apa salahnya cakap welcome home, selamat pulang…. No… so MALAS! And it’s their job, hello, bersemangat la sikit!
Ohhhhh lama lagi tu nak move, so early u terminate ur connection dearie?
Yeah, waiting to check out my stats ni, baru first day LOL! :)
I kena check the dates again, see whether they correspond to my blog post dates at the other two blogs…and yes my rss dah letak dah, double check edi. :(
Actually mixed feeling there.. i takut they would screw up the installation
at the new place if they don't terminate this line!
_____
LOL cian A’s frens nak kena cekik!
OMG.. classic case kan depa ni. dok sibuk berbual .. sometimes also tol
booth also like that. chat chat chat.. and long queue form.. aiyooh!!
_____
Not really GP.. they need 7-9 days to reactivate after termination .. that's
why have to do it fast.. otherwise when I move in.. takder internet!!
_____
Lol.. i think tomorrow or day after baru display kot!
_____
Can terminate on Friday oso actually, weekend sure depa malas kerja then Monday when u move in, hopefully can install. But anyway u terminated edi, so let’s wait and see. :)
That one paling irritating, service the customer, NOT ur fren, chit chatting away in front of customers abt everything under the sun, never pay atensi to customer!
Ok ok I hope u get ur connection then, lemme know how it turns out yeah? :)
He he tak sabar it seems! Pestaim advertise dulu 7 days je and tak faham LOL!
Ok.. then just monitor and write to them if they still do not give you your
points ok
_____
Haha.. tulah.. dah lah ada tu yg MCP.. lembab pun ye.. ish.. geram pulak
bila I fikirkan.hehe
_____
Actually they say..they need to terminate the streamyx first then only they
can terminate the line.. and then have to wait that 7-9 days period.. that
does not include weekend. ini pun they say they would call in three days
time to give us our new number.. ahh inefficiency at its best!!
_____
That's why lah. they forget.. we are the one paying their salary!!
_____
Will do. I will tweet if I lost connection tomorrow via phone lah..hehe
_____
Memang geram! MCP tu amende?
Tsk tsk tsk, dah start la tu screamyx!! Takpe, like Emila last time pindah rumah, sekejap je she got back her connection. Screamyx just has it in for me, org lain semua okay je LOL!
Malas nak remind peanut forget skin ni LOL!
Hope u won lose connection until Friday he he!
Hahha. yeah.. at first also I thought I want to advertise 7days only but
then I thought another 7bucks get me three weeks more.. so went for it lah
_____
OPh yeah, been sick the whole weekends and damn busy helping out hubs at work...hehe good thing i can help him somehow since we had to stay til 3am last sunday there...whew >:o
Recent blog post: Blackberry Cheesecake

Recent blog post: Blackberry Cheesecake
Hahahahahahha. tulah!!
_____
I hope soo too!!!
_____
Yeah yeah! I hope to make make the 14 bucks dearie! And then some! ;)
Oh yay, good to hear you’re feeling better Ayie. And how nice of u to help hubby out with work. I can’t wait for B to be on leave this Friday so we can start our weekend early! :)
I still dunno what’s my speed LJ, dunno how to check oso. I like the sound of faster speed!
good thing B has good sense of direction...it's vice versa with me and hubs. So I have to lead the way! haha! :-P
Recent blog post: Blackberry Cheesecake
Oh yeah, u’re working from home Ayie? What do you do?? :)
LOL! ;)
Sure rasa funny if LJ not online for long, screamyx better not disappoint!
LOL! You’re the one with better sense of direction Ayie? I am just hopeless! I try but still am not a big help when it comes to directions! ;)
I'm sure you will GP.. it's easy to achieve..
_____
Hehhe.. how much you paying now? Im paying 88rm.. so that is 1mb only
_____
Mine’s 99, u think how many mb that one?
Thanks dearie! :)
You took modem right? Then it's 1mb only
_____
freelance architect and some work at home internet on the side and blogging! ;)
Recent blog post: Blackberry Cheesecake
reminds me of my mom! oh now I miss her! hehe
Recent blog post: Blackberry Cheesecake
Yeah got modem, slownye 1 mb! Feel like upgrading, can right? How much for the 2 MB, do u know?
Hahaha :-D You feel that you belong to japan? My...
But I must agree that Japan's transportation is really awesome. Their transits uptime is like 99.9% and is very punctual. Not like in Malaysia! =/
Japan is really a nice place to be. But for me a vacation there would be more than suffice.
After all I love my own home soil malaysia! :D
Oh cool Ayie and yay for freelancing, isn’t it the best?? :)
What reminds u of ur mom Ayie? Sorry, can’t keep track with commenting via email sometimes LOL!
Not expensive BUT.. only selected area have up to 2mb pun. namely cyberjaya
and putrajaya. ampang tak der.. you might want to check with TM point and
see

she doesn't have sense of direction sweetie =) ahahaha me bad girl!

Nothing beats home sweet home eh Tekkaus? I wouldn mind staying in Japan for a few years, then eventually return home to M’sia la he he.. :)

Ohhhhh ha ha ha ok then, ur mom and me one gang! I feel better now Ayie, ha ha!
Yay, it feels good to be your own boss eh Ayie? Same here, I can’t imagine going back to the 9-5 world! ;)
I hope u get to visit one day dear! Am sure u will have a blast. :)

Recent blog post: Blackberry Cheesecake

Recent blog post: Blackberry Cheesecake

Recent blog post: Blackberry Cheesecake

Recent blog post: Friendship Chain Tag
Their transporation route is really complicated. I think I need my traffic controller to come along with me :):)
Tokyo is a great place to go to for a vacation, especially if you explore it on your own. i must go at least once.
but then, everything nice can be also very priceylah. tokyo is one of the most expensive city in the world.
Hi girls! :)
sure thing Marzie! Japan has achived greater heights in most fields as compared to M'sia.
Japan is a first world country, Malaysia still considered 3rd world :)
