ハピたのカフェ @ Towada (Kid friendly cafe)

Went to submit A’s passport application in Towada and went to a kid friendly cafe so we can bring others if their food os good. Unlike last time, now I will pay attention if there’s baby chair, the seat can put baby car seat anot.. is it child friendly environment and toilet got kid changing panel anot lol....

Very big difference, not all places welcome kids but yet I wish to bring A out. Alittle far though since its in Towada and no free parking. Had to park at the paid carpark so unless there are matters to be done otherwise I doubt I will come here. Food was really good though but minus point for the parking.

Misawa Base Air Festival 2018

Rain Rain go away....
Why do you come without fail every year on this event！

Due to recent big earthquake in Hokkaido, JSDF and US Air Force cancelled their plane demonstration. Bad weather, no demonstrations, lesser planes on display and fewer stalls... Boooo

Thankfully not all was lost, we went in early and managed to see the display planes interior. Never went in before as I refused to join in the long lineup haha. This year Fire station booth was up and it was awesome! They had a water dunk booth that get to dunk the firefighters if they hit the target. All kids, big and small even the elders were itching to try!

Uni uni uni!!!!

Rented car and drove down to Tanesashi coast to devour on uni. Was fully prepared to wait a long time for it as we went during obon period. True enough, the crowd was crazy and I had difficulty looking for an empty lot. In the end I parked at a hostel type of lodging house and asked for permission with the owner. Wanted to pay but the kind owner said its ok :)!!!!

Thankfully did not waited long as most were finishing up. My cousin had been anticipating the meal since i had been raving all along. Last year I could only eat the cooked uni and was unsatisfied. This year thanks to my cousin, she treated me to raw uni set (3500 yen). She also declared its best uni she ever ate and could never eat any uni back in Singapore... hehe told u!

Her vacation was like my vacation. Thanks to her, i had help walking with my dog, taking care bb while S n my in laws were away. She paid for almost everything during her stay with me. Quite paiseh about it.

热闹的生日

My 2nd time writing since the previous one was deleted when the app crashed.... sighh....

This year birthday had my family and friends celebrating with me! Surprised me with the cake and that was my first birthday “cake” in Japan! Usually we only buy a slice since we could not finish. Appreciated their gesture but if only i was more presentable haha!

My cousin came to visit me! She took me out for dinner and I chose my favorite sushi restaurant! They had changed to omakase type. There’s buffet of crab, nabe and sushi for 90 minutes (4500yen each) but I did not like it.

5000 yen omakase crab dinner was worth the price tag, we ate to out fullest and was given extra grilled crab to thank me for always patronizing them lol! I gave up taking the photos as I was busy eating w my hands.

S took me a sushi restaurant Misawa and supposedly served local politicians. We went in without reservation and realized that it was almost fully booked that day.

Thank you everyone for making this year birthday a memorable day for me!

Hideji's 我慢できないの夏

Hot hot summer comes and our poor Hideji is suffering from the summer heat. He was having poor appetite even to the extent that he rejected his favorite treats! Did not want to go for his walks under the scorching pavement so my fil has to walk him before sun arises and after sun sets.

Discussed w S on bringing Hideji to groomer to shave his fur. However this came with a hefty price tag ($100sgd). Hence, S decided to try to DIY!

End result looked horrible, our tiny shaver only managed to trim the neck and his butt area. Even then it took a hour, not to mention the aftermath we had to clean up. I thought our dog would not like the sound of the shaver and even tried to escape. Yet no lol! He loved it! Patiently standing throughout the process and wagging his tail.

Im sure he did not understand how bad he looks now.... looks like a cat now lol.... if he is a human, we only remove his neck warmer :p

Hideji, next year I shall convince your dad to send you to a groomer instead! Do not trust his grooming skills ok?!

Blueberry Picking!

Brittney asked me out and what a good timing it was! Shota was away and my mil was here to help me out. Went to blueberries farm located near Misawa Roadstation. It was small but easy and all you can eat! Frankly I never like berries, cherries type of fruit since it tasted artificial in my opinion. If you mix it or make it as smoothie, I am fine with it but eating by itself... kinda of remind me of the pink medicine syrup I was forced to drink when I was sick.

I love the owners, they had a cute and lovable dog that enthusiastically allow me to pet him. They also gave us 2 fresh eggs each from their hens! Even took the trouble to wash it for us...
