the kaiyukan from the outside. and the santa maria boat i think that goes around osaka bay. nope. didnt go on sit.

no doubt i wanted to see a HUGE whale shark. but to my dismay, it looked so small in the aquarium. lol.
entrance to kaiyukan and life size model of the whale shark yu. T_T. see.. not very big right ?? i was expecting it to be like 5 football fields long.

wow! look at that otter or whatever it is. looks nice doesn't it ? :P and some freshwater arowana and the tomans(white striped catfish ?). BIG !!
watching fishes makes me wanna go to sleep. but inside here it's airconditioned so it's cooler than staying outside and with it playing the classical music or something.. made me felt like i wanna sleep. seeing the fishes, they are like so peaceful.

random images of palace side hotel's kitchen area. free to use for all residents of the hotel. ( pretty well equipped if i may say so) and dinner in a authentic japanese restaurant. i ordered sake just to try it out. it tasted like the rice wine my granny used to make. ( she taught me how to make them, i never tried them out but i vaguely remember how), and it was drunk warm. very sweet. too bad i needed to wake up in the morning .. else i would have finished it.

Mr. Kipling's Battenberg Cake. looks nice..

hmmm been so busy on friday forgot to update. will post 2 post to console myself today. to the cake. cake looks cute. but tastes horrible. maybe it was because i bought it cheap from sainsbury . it's original price was £1.29. but i bought it for 49p. cheap as i was. maybe that's the reason the cake tasted bad.. but the expiry wasnt till anohter 2 days time. :P anyways, it tasted like smelled like cough syrup. u know those red coloured ones. tasted okays. the outer layer is just icing erm or rather sugar.. no ideas waht that was but it was SWEET. then inside, just like the normal sponge cake. all in all.. i wouldnt buy it ever again. :P here are the pics.

my boring weekend

i went to camden on sat and almost got rammed by a stupid green car on the way back. anyways, i was bored. and it was a nice day. don't know anything bout tour de france, or wimbledon. took my bike out. and cycled down towards camden. it was a change from cycling to work. i spent £7 in sainsburys cos they were having a half price sale on john west's tuna in cans. the usual price is about £3.19. bought some stuffs.. ( coulnd't buy a lot cos i don't wanna ride home on a punctured bike) but i bought too many as well. i bought jaffa biscuit for 69p. for 24 pieces. finished it b4 sat was over. took some photos on the way. went into o2 to see if i could get any nice phones for free. turned out that i couldn't because i havent paid any phone bills since last year. looks like i'm gonna hvae to switch my sim card to a pay as you go thingy. then i went to the outdoor emporium to take a look at the karrimor travelpack. i dunno why .. that one seems to call out to me other
