There were supposed to be 5 of us from the same mansion (Skycourt Shimotakaido) but only 3 of us (me, Winnie n 咏臻) turn up at the mentioned time. The other 2 (Carven and Annie) over slept. Yes, we don't wake up so early during holiday. So the 3 of us went all the way to Shinjuku (新宿) to meet the rest of the gang. We went to a convinient store to get some drinks before heading to the karaoke. reason? the drink in karaoke will usually cost around 400-500yen each.. At the counter (oh, Annie had arrived, so 9 of us there), we were told that the rate was 120yen each per hour but we need to add another 100yen each per hour to get a big room, unless we break into 2 rooms. We decided to pay extra to get a big room. We didn't want to be apart. We came in a group! And the minimum is 3 hours. well, 220yen x3 = 660yen (around RM25)
In the karaoke room, i found an interesting menu:
Yes, a menu for anti pollen allergy. There are fish (880yen), salad(780yen), tea (450yen) and a yogurt drink (480yen). Below, u can find some more picture with the explaination (in japanese) on what is good for anti-pollen allergy.
DHA and EPA will ease up the symptom of pollen allergy.
vegetables containing food fibre will normalized the immunity system.
sweet tea or vitamin C can stop running nose.
yogurt / vitamin C prevent pollen allergy
Pollen allergy seems serious in Japan (or at least in Tokyo). Even the weather forecast that i receive from my handphone include the report for pollen. But i never expect to see such menu in karaoke...
Later, we went for dinner in concurrent celebrating a friend's birthday at an Izakaya (居酒屋) named 千年の宴.
We took an 8 item's course which cost 2100yen each plus 950yen (ladies), 1250yen (men) for 飲み放題, which means all you can drink (mostly alcoholic drink) or 480yen for softdrinks only. 3 of us (me, Carven and Adam) chose softdrinks only while the rest of them chose the full menu. All of us were shocked when Carven chose softdrinks only. She used to drink alot since she came to Japan.. and most of the time when we have steamboat / dinner gathering at someone's room, she'll always be the one who demanded for alcoholic drink. But somewhere in the middle, Annie treated her a glass of cocktail, later, Sun Jack gave her a glass of "umeshu rock" (梅酒) and on and on, she drank a few glasses of alcoholic drink i think. What happen after that??? she's drunk!! but she denied. Anyway she's not drunk terribly...
When Carven's getting drunk, what's on my mind was: should I stop her or should I let her be?? because deep inside my heart I remembered what Kah Choon (one of my favourite senior in UM) told me: take care of her. But well, she's already an adult, it's her right to drink as long as she's not taking drugs, and I'm nobody to control her, neither her parents nor her bf. But, it's an unexplainable complicated feeling seeing her letting herself getting drunk.
