Prior to Japan Travel

Task:
1. Buy Flight Ticket
2. Thorough Plan for 8-day logistic in Japan
3. Apply for Japan Visa
4. Buy Travel Insurance
5. Change RM to Yen

Expenses:
1. Flight Airport Taxes: RM697.38
2. Agent Fee for Japan Visa: RM15
3. Travel Insurance: RM43
4. RM to Yen: RM2.95K to ¥100K

Synopsis:
I manage to buy my flight ticket to Japan using my Krysflyer Mileage claim. My housemate is kind enough to give me his mileage for the return ticket. How lucky am i. :)

As for the planning for the Japan trip, most of the information we obtain through Japan National Tourist Organization and also from Lonely Planet and travel guide books. The planning is mostly done intensively by BL.

Japan Visa application form can be retrived from the web but it has to be printed using A4 paper. Several supporting documents must be enclosed together with the application form. The supporting documents are:
01. Passport
03. Pasport size photo for visa application
04. Company letter
05. Financial proof
06. Bank statement

I paid RM15 for the travel agent (Mayflower) to help me to apply for the visa as i am lazy to go to the embassy. The visa application process only takes 3 working days. For vacation or business trip, the approved visa is only valid for 4 months.

Travel with insurance will give us peace in mind especially when travelling to country that have high medical expenses. BL brought me to Tokio Marine Insurans (M) Berhad at Menara Kobay, Jalan Rangoon.

After work on WW03, we went to change RM3K to Yen. Manage to get 100K Yen for RM2950. I also bought 1 small black pouch for RM65...Aduh!! My pocket is suffering. Howerver, i cant find any camera shop to clean my Ixus lens. Nevermind then.

Japan Travel Idea & Planning

BL informed me on WW1 that he will go to Japan for 8 days trips on WW3.5 to WW5.1. It is like 'Pucuk dicita, ulam mendatang'. I have waiting for 3 years to go to Japan. This is indeed a golden opportunity. Oh...Yeah..!!

He has spent lots of time planning and obtaining information on this Japan trip. We spend 6hrs at Queensbay's Border Starbuck to plan for the locations, transportation, and cost estimation. I was just doing the typing in the excel while he do the planning.

Just opposite to our table was a lady with Mac Laptop and SLR camera. I cant help noticing she is writing something and capturing pictures. So in my wild guess, i am sure she owned a blog. While BL went to rest room, she talked to me. Actually she been eavesdropping our conversation. She did appologized. . She did gave some pointer for the Japan trip. Good Samaritan. I got chance to ask for her blog link and she gave me. But i have forgotten her name. Typical of me to forget ppl's name...Cant blame me if i only met ppl for 1 time. She left earlier. Maybe irritated by the noisy kids beside. After that, bunch of my company staffs came, so i think thats the time to make a move out of the place.

Around 5pm, BL & I went to Gym to relax and squeeze some sweat. Hahah. Today is very mental taxing day.

New Year 2007 (Back Dated, Repost)

Today is the beginning of Year’07 and the end of Year’06. I went to Church for the New Year Eve Mass for countdown. Today's service will be different from usual. It will be incharged by the youth. The songs are mostly modern christian pop songs and the presentation are more lifely. I enjoyed much of the songs and the service as it reminded me of Capital Christian Centre. It makes me fell good and rejoice.

Today is also the launching of the much waited Holy Spirit Cathedral own website. Father Henry was given the honor to launch it on this New Year Eve. It marked the beginning of new era for us to share the good news of God’s teaching.This year I have 10 resolutions that I wish I can achieve. I wrote them down in my diary after deep thoughts. I knew that to achieve these, ones need to have strong discipline and determination.

One of the resolution is to start my own blog. To share with others my thoughts.I am sure everyone have their own resolutions. If you yet to think about it, its never too late to do it now. Happy New Year'07 and God Bless.
