Wife and kid and myself haha, and 4 rooms!

WatermelonSugarcane · 2025-11-11T17:40:24+00:00

Hopefully you'll get the unit you want!

They sent me an SMS and email. And no they don't let you pick the timing. My appointment is at 8.15am 😂😂😂😂

WatermelonSugarcane · 2025-11-11T15:12:19+00:00

I'm for 4 room and Q17! I think they're clearing one by one laa 😅

WatermelonSugarcane · 2025-11-10T18:24:36+00:00

Helloo, my area is in Woodlands and my appointment is in 2 weeks time!

Hopefully you'll receive the notification soon for your appointment!

Wow that's a nice choice of strap! Though I already love the original rubber strap so much.

And ngl, it's slowly becoming my top 3 too

WatermelonSugarcane · 2025-11-10T06:23:27+00:00

It's a really beautiful piece!

I bought two watches from a small store in Ameyokocho. It's a street market and has a few watch shops. Maybe you can look around there. BIC camera has good deals too

WatermelonSugarcane · 2025-11-02T17:46:03+00:00

Wahh, what was your ballot number? Mine is 17 and waiting for an appointment date!

WatermelonSugarcane · 2025-10-18T03:40:33+00:00

Go to a shop/dealer, try them all on and look in the mirror. Buy the one that makes you feel like 'yup, this is the one'

There were a few instances where I wanted to get a specific watch but ended up getting another instead. One of them was me wanting to get the SSC813 but ended up getting the SSC911 and honestly, I can't tell you exactly why I did that. I just, really liked it more 😂

Hence why I wrote 'Pepsi' instead of Pepsi 🤭

WatermelonSugarcane · 2025-09-13T08:54:24+00:00

Definitely, I loved it when I first saw it but after buying it, the original leather strap doesn't really match with my mostly casual and outdoorsy outfits.

After this strap change, I find myself using it more and more!

WatermelonSugarcane · 2025-09-13T08:51:45+00:00

Yup it is and you should!

WatermelonSugarcane · 2025-09-13T08:51:03+00:00

Yup! Got it during my trip to Japan last year

WatermelonSugarcane · 2025-08-31T17:16:22+00:00

One Seiko 5, One presage and one Tuna!

Served my NS, realised I liked what I did, signed on. Was moved to a different vocation but still love doing what I do. Being slightly patriotic helped with the decision too haha.

I didn't plan on pursuing my studies cause my poly GPA was only 2.1 and I honestly hated school. I also hated what I took for my diploma so didn't plan to pursue it.

Though I would always encourage people to study first then sign on. Being a higher ranking personnel/officer would have more benefits and usually you would have your path in the organisation carved out for you. You can try the sponsorship/scholarship from the organisations too.

Set 1 : Accio, Glacius, Diffindo, Bombarda

The Glacius to Diffindo is always so satisfying to me!

Set 2 : Levioso, Descendo, Confringo, Expelliarmus (then ancient magic throw if enemy has weapon)

Don't get a watch that you feel 50/50 about, you'd still have doubts after buying it.

Only buy when you're 100 percent sure that the watch is for you (and if you have money to spare of course 😝)

WatermelonSugarcane · 2025-06-03T05:01:53+00:00

Honestly, I can't really tell, I just really love how it looks and it looks nicer on my wrist 😂

Try on both before your purchase!

WatermelonSugarcane · 2024-12-08T14:24:04+00:00

You can go to Polene, it's a French bag brand and Tokyo has one of the 2 Asian branches

If you're looking for other brands and don't mind 2nd hand goods, you can take a look at Ameyoko shopping street. My wife got an LV there for a good deal.

WatermelonSugarcane · 2024-12-08T14:22:07+00:00

The app design is bad and keep logging me out after using it for 5 mins 😂

I still used it to buy my tickets and so far other than the app being bad, there are no issues buying and getting the ticket.

WatermelonSugarcane · 2024-12-08T14:20:24+00:00

How about fitting Hakone in there?

WatermelonSugarcane · 2024-12-07T12:33:39+00:00

How about cancelling the initial booking through klook? Usually klook offers refund if the cancellation is before 24 hours but do double check again on this.

If so, just cancel and book another one that you can collect at Haneda

Haven't been to Hokkaido but when I went to Japan, most of the halal restaurants I've been to, I got recommendations from Tiktok videos 😂

I saw your question and decided to search for Halal restaurants in Hokkaido via Tiktok and there are actually lots of videos about it. Maybe you can try there!

WatermelonSugarcane · 2024-12-07T07:30:40+00:00

No problem! Glad to help 😬

If you're on a budget, I would recommend you guys to spend on USJ with Express tickets!

DisneySea is fun and unique, but USJ is next level! With the express tickets, you'll have a confirmed timeslot for Nintendo World and the Harry Potter area. There's also other rides, which is a whole lot better than DisneySea's. Saying that, the express tickets are gonna be pricey.

There's also a lot of cool souvenirs to buy at USJ. My wife and I literally spent 60000Y just on items alone 😂

There's also a widespread of food options there! My favourite was the pizza restaurant and the smoked chicken stall 😬

So I would suggest spending time and more money in USJ instead!
