Universal Studio Japan
January 24, 2009
This is the USJ i’ve been talking about la! It’s in Osaka. Not the Subang one. 
(I think it is more fun than Disneyland Tokyo!)
Standard picture
We went there on the 31st December 2008, because they had a 2009 New Year countdown party and would be open 24 hours!
The party were gonna start 7pm and we reached about 6pm. And the queue line was already super long!
Night illumination so pretty!
Funky Town. The dancers were great! So cold and they were wearing skimpy dresses :/
Went for the Jurassic Park ride OMG IT WAS SO SCARY I ALMOST DIED.
Seriously. And it was soooo cold and everyone was wearing transparent rain coat. So TK didn’t tell me it was a scary ride! We went on it, saw some raptors and long necks and T-rexes grimacing at you yea yea yea whatever la yawn. Then half way during the ride TK went uhuhuhu, here comes the scary part yo and i was like what turf?
And before i could say anything the boat took a steep, steep steeeeeeep plunge into the water. I could really feel my heart getting detached from my body i swear. Then he was laughing non-stop and said it’s so fun wtf. I very chicken one! When it comes to theme park rides. I would rather die than to play the jet coaster. (Ok doesn’t sound exactly right.) I heart my heart very much thanks.
By the way the pink thingie i was holding is a special edition Christmas Churro stick! Churro sticks are soooooooooo yummy!
And since when Malaysia has it!?!?!? I was shopping in i dunno The Curve or 1U the other day and i saw Churro sticks! Because the first time i saw it was in Disneyland and OMG it tasted sooooooooo good!!!!
Went for Spidey ride.
Quite fun one!
ET crystal ball.
Gimme money or i keeeel you.
JAWS
uhuhuhu.
We only managed to go on two rides, before we had to secure a place for the countdown.
They sang some churchy song in a boat. Then a looooong fireworks it was so beautiful! I really wanted to cry at that moment because it was so beautiful!
TK bought Elmo ear muffs so cute!!! (And i cheated. I was wearing Daisy Duck’s cape from Disney. Shhhh dun tell anyone.)
After the countdown, we went to the toilet and queued for at least 30 mins. And it was soooo cold outside! But then the toilets in USJ or Disneyland are impossibly clean. You think like a million people use them it should be quite disgusting la but no lo! It is ridiculously, inconceivably clean. Toilets in Japan are the best thing ever created. Especially in winter, they have the seat heater, you sit down and your butt feels soooooo warm and after that you can use the bidet (wiki: is a low-mounted plumbing fixture or type of sink intended for washing the genitalia, inner buttocks, and anus) then dryer and deodorizer. Aiya i can talk about their toilets whole day. Maybe i should blog an entire separate entry about it. Ze Awesome!!!
After that we went back to the car and rested a little. We set the alarm to 3pm. At 3am, i refused to wake up so TK set the alarm to 4am. At 4am, i refused to wake up but i know i had to, if not we didn’t have time for the rides! The tickets were valid till 1st Jan 2009, 8pm, but we had to rush back home to have Japanese New Year lunch with the family.
So we went back to the park at 4am. I think it was 0 degree then. So cold can die.
Were so shocked to see so many people spend their new year in Snoopy House. They slept everywhere.
The parade was nothing comapred to Disneyland la. Saw snoopy and kitty and whatnot.
Pink cafe. Pinker than Cheeserland.com confirm.
Candy store.
Sho kiut
Elmo cookie!
This is the cutestestest!!! Spidey cup ramen!!
It was so cold TK cannot tahan he bought a warmer Elmo hat.
COOOOOOOOLD
We played this thing called Ring Fling (!!!).
And won an Elmo. That day really Elmo overdose. Like srsly.
Then the basket expert played Hot Shot and won a Jerry piwow. ^^
I think it was nearing 6am.
Sunrise. So beautiful.
<3 USJ.
It was 7.30am and we had to rush back to Nara for family new year lunch. Didn’t have time for other rides. T_T

In US, churros are sold everywhere but inside the Universal Studio the price are like 5 times higher. Kena potong kaki and tangan.
I went on the Jurassic park ride before and felt just like you, chicken! lol
Jap toilets rock to the max, some of the hotels in Singapore have them.
Nice! 24 hours party, and the rides to boot.
BTW, the ring (picture) in Ring Fling makes it read like Ringo.

Jade. Z: Reverse G Force. “OMGOMG I DOWAN!” Wahhahaha. who’s that?

Ohh wow….this is seriously beautifulll!!!!!!!! Heaven!!!!!!!!! But seems it is really2 cold..
Lol, I miss heated toilet seats in Japan!!! I like warm my hands on the toilet seat during winter because the heater in my foster family’s house had broken down. <3 Heated toilet seat XD
I loved USJ. The Jurassic Park ride was my favourite actually. The Spiderman ride too. I hated the roller coaster (the one called Hollywood Dream). I thought I was gonna fall off my seat when the ride started plunging downwards. I’d definitely go back again, even though the ticket is damn expensive (to me anyway).
Wow! That was such a fun day! 24hrs fun, how i wish to be there with you and TK! To enjoy elmo day!
They have churro sticks in Malaysia?! That’s great! I tried some in France and absolutely loved them…but they’re pretty expensive!
ohh so jealouuusss
elmoooo so kiutttt – must go to usj when i go ther ! must must !!!
i dont really enjoy usj cos all of the ride n i dont hv the stong heart to take all the ride ! scared to death srly ! ^__^
I’ll be waiting for toilets in Japan post. I often heard that toilet there could be super awesome, but never really found an article about it.
Seriously, since first time I commented here, my flag is always Australian. I’m wondering why because I’m not in Australia for now. I’m in Indonesia.
AHAHAHAHA, the ride story is freaking hillarious!!! Can’t believe u actually ‘forgive’ him after that
Look like you have a blast there. I wish i can go there during the new year time. I have read about their toilet and i was amaze by it because it have a lots of function like mp3 player, bidet, self-cleaning and so on.
omg the daisy duck cape is sooo cute!! Did you get that from Japan too? Ur so lucky get to travel like that…oh also just to let you know that I enjoy reading your blogs
…so interesting and fun!
waking up at 3am is a bit siao for holidays.. I want my holidays to not require me waking up before 10am!
