8tokyo.com Meet-up in Singapore

2010-06-06T23:45:00.006+08:00

２０１０年４月３日（金）

8tokyo.com held this meet-up in Singapore to meet their readers.
Readers were to write in emails as only limited invites were available.

Without hesitation, I wrote in once I read their tweet at Twitter.

A few days later, I was so delighted to receive
the invite in my inbox (☆＾ω＾★)

The meet-up was held at 「Oomphatico's」in Tanglin Mall, #01-35.

On the table already were Rilakkuma pens and papers which
made us go "KAWAIIIIII〜〜〜！！" ヽ(〃'▽'〃)ﾉ

Besides, there were also a piece of Bingo game sheet on the table
and a paper bag with an 8tote tote bag & goodies on each chair.

I got a Red x Off-white tote. ステキ♡ ｡:+((*′艸`))+:｡

Our table

日本語上手な子、Apple、Me、Marv (who was taking this pic for us)

I am bad at remembering chinese/dialect names so am really sorry
that I forgot the name of the girl on the left. 申し訳ない！m(_ _)m
But her Japanese language is perfect! She even did translation of
comics for Xin Tian Di in the past. And I do remember
that she loves Rabbit & has one as a pet!! Hehe〜

Soon the event started with some introduction
by the Editor-in-chief, Yoko-san.

Followed with popular things, places and hot topics in Tokyo.

We were encouraged to write down some questions regard
Tokyo on the Rilakkuma paper. Some questions will
be picked and answered by Yoko-san.

(*σ´∀｀)σ Well, mine didn't get picked but Marv's did!! Hahaha~

His question was "Where to find cheap and good sushi in Tokyo?"

Yoko-san's answer to it was "Tsukiji Fish Market".
The sushi over there is indeed cheap and good!!

Some light bites were being served.

Calamari

Thin-crust Pizza

Each table has different flavor of pizza.

I ♡ thin-crust pizzas！！！ (*pﾟε｀q*)

We were also given to draw a piece of paper from a stack.
Different questions were written down on each piece of paper.

Yoko-san will visit each table to hear our answers.

☆ Me & Steph ☆

That was Yamada-san from 8tokyo.com holding the BINGO machine.
He is a contributing writer of the site.

I was kinda lucky that day to be the first one to hit BINGO!! ヾ(･∀･)ﾉﾞ

Marv... still hoping...

The game has ended and he was soooooo close!! LOL ((笑′ω`)
Well, I think he has used up his luck of the day for his question to be picked.

Jyan!! The present I got from winning the BINGO!! (´∀｀)v

It is actually an umbrella! Isn't it so cute??

All were given presents despite u got BINGO or not.
Those who got BINGO got the privilege to choose their
present first. Fair and share. So thoughtful of them!

All the presents are brought by Yoko-san & Yamada-san from Japan.

Which included, the Rabbit Shaped pouch with umbrella,
Paul & Joe x UT tops, Marc Jacobs S/S'10 catalogs with tote bag,
FumoFumo-san(soft toy), and Ladurée latest items.

★⌒* Time for group shot!! *⌒★

Yoko-san and I.

Everyone rushes to take photos with them and give them presents.

I am so sorry that I was juggling between work and visiting my mum at
the hospital everyday and could not squeeze out much time to get
any idea presents for them. I had to go to the hospital
after later in the evening too ε= (ﾉ◎ﾟωﾟ)ﾉ

I took this chance to give myself a little break.
Even if it is a few hours only, I am contented already (*ﾟω｀)♪

Us, happy with our prezzies!!

Apple & I

She is such a chirpy and happy person.

d(d′∀`*)☆ﾟ+.ﾟﾃﾝｼｮﾝЦＰﾟ+.ﾟ☆(*′∀`b)b

From left: Yamada-san, Me, Yoko-san, Japanese translator of the day.

Towards the end of the meet-up, pretty cupcakes were
being served along with a choice of coffee or tea.

The cupcakes were cute and yummy ヽ(〃▽〃 )ﾉ☆

Took a picture with the sweeties, Samantha(left) and Steph(right).

☆ﾜ-(ﾉ｡･ω･)八(｡･ω･｡)八(･ω･｡)ﾉ-ｨ!!!

After the meet-up has ended and we said good-bye and expressed our
gratitude to staffs of 8tokyo.com, Marv was still hungry. LOL (＾∀＾*)

We were asked by the restaurant staff if we need more pizza during
the event but we were too shy to add on any more order. Hee~

So we stayed on and ordered one more pizza in different flavor.

Tandoori Chicken Thin-crust Pizza

I think Oomphatico's pizza are quite delicious!! (●´ω｀)b
Give it a try if you happened to dine here or drop by for some drinks.

☆ Outfit of the day ☆

Dress　・・・・・　SPINNS 古着屋本舗（原宿）

Dungaree shirt with lace　・・・・・　One Way（Shibuya109）

Short Western Boots　・・・・・　Dukah（WEGO原宿）

Mickey & Minnie Spangles bag　・・・・・　L.D.S.

Head accessory　・・・・・　Rubi

Wig　・・・・・　NAVANA WIG

I got this wig during my trip to Japan in February this year.
NAVANA WIG has good quality wigs which I will highly recommend!!

They have shops at Shibuya109, Shibuya109-②, Shinjuku ALTA,
Sunshine City Alpa(Ikebukuro), Ikebukuro PARCO.

Full wig from 16,800〜19,950yen (according to hair length).

The one I bought allows me to use hot curling thong/straightener to style it.
The kind shop staff wrote this note for me to take note of
the temperature of the curler thong and straightener.

After several times of styling, we need professional help
to fix it back to its original shape/condition.

It can be done at a service fee of 2,100〜3,500yen according to
the condition of the wig when you pass it to them.

My L.D.S. (Love Drug Store) disney stuffs for Spring'10! (pq′▽`*)ぅふっ♪

Now, let's take a look at the 8tote tote bag and goodies from 8tokyo.com!!

I have got the fumofumo-san soft toy(baby pink) too cos it was Marv's share

The material of the the tote bag is durable and good!! （*＾Ｕ＾*）

Chocolates and gums with cute packaging!

Rilakkuma Strawberry Milk Kit Kat

It tastes SO GOOD!!!! (*ﾟσω｀*)

Popular places, things and topics of Tokyo introduced by
8tokyo.com during the talk at the meet-up.

I will list out one of the mentioned as below.

半熟カステラ
(hanjyuku kasutera - half-baked castella)

Castella is a popular Japanese sponge cake made of flour, eggs,
sugar & starch syrup. I have seen this on Japanese TV
programmes and wanna try it so badly!!

ハレノヒ(harenohi)
http://www.harenohi.me/

Harenohi Cafe in Azabu Jyuban
Address: Minato-ku Azabu Jyuban 1-6-10), Tokyo 106-0045
Business hours:　０７：００～２２：００
Tel: 03-6438-1490
Closed on: Unfixed

地図(Map)

The creamy portion supposes to taste like custard cream.

It was puffed up when just baked and removed from the oven.
Due to the heavy density of the mixture, it will eventually
form the dent in the middle of the castella.

Hanjyuku Castella (Original Flavor) - 1,260yen

Mini Hanjyuku Castella - 1,470yen
(4 flavors: Plain, Earl Grey, Caramel, Matcha with Dainagon red beans)

To 8tokyo.com,
thank you so much for the memorable and fun-filled meet-up.
Hope to see you all again!!

In my next entry, I will introduce some of the hot topics in Tokyo I know of too.

Please stay tuned! (´ω｀*人)☆ *。+゜*・。

Normally they will ask if you are purchasing the items as souvenirs.
If it is so, they will give you more of the plastic bags.

If you are buying loads of item, you may choose to
purchase the souvenir shopping bags at 2 sizes.

I will definitely get them!! Besides able to put a lot of stuffs in it,
they have Limited Special Design for each special event or festive!

Too bad we didn't get to buy Halloween 2008's souvenir

This little boy who cosplay as "Mike" in Monster Inc. is SO ADORABLE!
Especially when he removed the eye of "Mike" from the costume. Hahaha.
We were so surprised and amused that the eye can actually be removed.

We reached Western Land soon. We wanted to get our lunch from
Lucky Nugget Cafe for the sake of the Halloween Lunch Box Set which we
would be able to keep the special Halloween design lunchbox plastic ware as
souvenir. But due to overwhelmed response, it was sold out! *Sobs*

We bought our set meals and walk to a place slightly further
from the cafe as the cafe area was way too crowded.

A very nice resting area with tables and benches.
Moreover, with the cooling weather, it was Perfect!

食欲の秋

2009-10-20T17:36:00.008+08:00

２００９年９月２５日（金）

マークンと時間を過ごす為に休みを取った
オーチャードセントラルで会って、
飲み物を飲んで、間食を食べて、夕食を食べました。

さすが食欲の秋だよね〜
シンガポールでは季節ということではないけれど、
寒い季節にここでは雨が多いので、ちょっと寒くなります。
それで、食欲もドンドン湧いてきます。

I took leave to spend time with Marv.
We met up at Orchard Central for some drinks
and snacks, followed by dinner.

ここはヤクンカヤトースト

見えないでしょ〜　はぁ〜

いつも通りの設定と雰囲気とは違うわ。

This place is Ya Kun Kaya Toast.
It doesn't look like isn't it? Haha~
Different from the usual setting and ambience.

そして、そして。。。

またクイズノス・サブのサンドを食べた〜

今回はローストビーフ＆チェダーを食べました。

そして②

８階にある大戸屋で夕食しました〜

まずはサイドメニューのほうれん草とじゃこのおひたし。

We had dinner at Ootoya which is located at 8th floor.

Firstly, it's Spinach with small dried-sardines appetizer from the side menu.

味は薄いけど、ヘルシーだね〜

It tastes rather bland but it healthy~

私が頼んだ焼き豚丼の定食です〜
The BBQ Pork Bowl Set which I ordered~

My Skincare Products

As some of you asked me on what skincare products I used.
Here it is~

Left to right:

★Avene Thermal Water Spray
☆Kao Curél Moisture Milk for Sensitive Dry Skin
★Kanebo Albon Exage Moist Innovation Milk II
☆Hada Labo Gokujyun Hyaluronic Liquid

I will spray the Avene Thermal Water right after
I washed my face to keep it moisturized.

Day:

I apply Hada Labo Gokujyun Hyaluronic Liquid after Avene
Thermal Water Spray. It acts as day-time Toner and
it's non-alcoholic. Gentle on the skin.

It is very popular among the Japanese models too!

For day-time mositurizer, I’m using
Embroylisse Lait-Creme Concentré

It’s made in France and has been loved by
Japanese ladies and models for years~

The moisturizer acts as make-up base for me too~

Plus, keeping your skin moisturized is one of the key point
to make your make-up last longer.

Night:

Curél Moisture Milk for Sensitive Dry Skin after
Avene Thermal Water Spray. It acts as the night toner for me.
Like the day toner, it's non-alcoholic and gentle on the skin.

As for moisturizer, I use
Albon Exage Moist Innovation Milk II

Lovin' it!!

美肌一族のシートマスク
Bihada Ichizoku Sheet Mask

Most recommended is the Pink Packaging !!!

My fave Sun screen lotion....

Shiseido
Anessa Perfect Smooth Sunscreen SPF50 PA+++

Leaves the skin soft and smooth. Not oily at all~

I'm still going to try out other products.

I will update again when I found something new and good yeps!~

NEW映画のおすすめ

僕の初恋はキミに捧ぐ
(Boku no hatsukoi wa kimi ni sasagu - I gave my first love to you)

It's originated from the popular manga.

It’s a story about the pure love between this couple.

The story started back when they were still kids.

The little boy (Takuma) was hospitalized due to heart disease.

The little girl (Mayu) whose Dad is the main Doctor met Takuma in the hospital.

Takuma made the promise of marrying the Mayu when they grow up.

One day, Takuma get to know that he is only able to live till 20 yr old.

He feels sorry and regretted making the stupid promise.

Since then he has been trying to avoid Mayu.

But Mayu did not give up.

In between, lots of happenings had occurred.

Objections of the parents, worsen of Takuma’s condition,

appearance of rivals etc..

The most touching scene is said to be when Mayu ran around

the hospital helplessly and beg for heart donor when

Takuma was in the emergency room.

A very “girl” movie. Especially for those who enjoy love novels,

touching scenes and weep with packets of tissue.

Think we may get to catch it in Singapore after a few months.

Japan Trip Spring 2008: Day 5 - 08.04.02 [水]

2009-05-31T22:02:00.005+08:00

From our hotel room's window, we were able to catch beautiful sunrise! 　
Along with the sight of the ferries wheel of ドン・キホーテ「難波店」(Donkihote - Namba outlet)

ドン・キホーテ難波店の観覧車
Donkihote Namba Outlet's Ferries Wheel

桜海老のお菓子
I opened the Sakura Ebi - baby prawns snack
which I bought from Lawson the previous night.

ALL SET & READY TO GO!!!!

近鉄大阪難波に
(At the Kintetsu Osaka-Namba station)

I was feeling very hungry so I got myself a Melon Pan
(a bit similar to Hong Kong's Po Lo Bun but with more milk and sugar)

It is perfectly fine to consume food and drinks at the platforms as long as we do
our part to keep the area clean by disposing the rubbish in the correct manner.

We took 近鉄奈良線(Kintetsu Nara Line) from
近鉄大阪難波(Kintetsu Osaka-Namba station) to 近鉄奈良(Kintetsu Nara station).

電車の中に〜
In the train.

The journey took about 42 mins for the Express train.

The normal train which has more stops in between
the journey will take around 1 hour and 2 mins.

You may want to check the display at the platform if it is an
Express train or a normal train arriving/leaving the platform.

Express train arrives every 10~15mins.

If a normal train is arriving/has arrived and you have to wait for 15 mins
for the next Express train. You will only be saving around 5 mins.
You may wanna consider taking the normal train in such situation.

近鉄オフィシャル HP (Japanese Language)
Kintetsu Official Website (English)

I like this poster. The deer with the pink ribbon looks SO CUTE!!!

Beautifully blossomed Sakura

The weather was so perfect in Nara that day

奈良公園(Nara Kou-en)

At the Nara Park.
Cute and tame deers are everywhere.

I was a little scared at first. Haha.

せんべい(Senbei -rice crackers) can be bought from the stalls at 150 yen for each bunch.

We bought one bunch and tried feeding the deers.

Happily feeding this little deer

Another one came and wanted to have some too

はい! あげる~
(Yes! Give it to you~)

Deer: Munch.. Munch.. "Yums!!"

and......

who knows.......

...............................................

YET another one running towards Marv to get some senbei too!!!!!

Look at Marv. Even his back can show how shocked he were. LOL!!!

My turn to feed them. ワ~イ!! ワ~イ!!

Yes!! No tricks on your eyes~
The deers in Nara know how to bow to people

They will bow back to you if you bow to them or when they wanna ask for more food.

かわいくない??
(Aren't they Cute??)

Two deers bowing to me. Hehehe~

i think he looked very happy. Just like a little kid. Hee~

I think it is smiling to the camera!

We proceeded to walk over to 興福寺 (Kohfuku-ji), a Buddhist Temple.
Click here to learn more on Koufuku-ji

The famous 五重塔(Gojyuu no tou - Five-storey Pagoda) at 興福寺.

We saw this cute little girl with her Grandfather(the one with Kewpie mobile phone accessory).
The elder generation in Japan loves kawaii stuffs despite their age.

I love this point as it keeps them happy, cheerful, lively and always young at heart!

The bond between grandfather and granddaughter. Sweet~

"Are you taking my picture " 　＊＊

BEAUTIFUL!!!

南円堂 (Nan en dou - South Octagonal Hall)

It is one of the 西国三十三箇所 (Saigoku Sanjyuusan Kasho), a pilgrimage
of 33 Buddhist temples throughout the Kansai region of Japan.

Leaving 興福寺 and saw this scenery of sakura and pond.
Plus the cool weather, it can makes one calm and relax

Blooming Sakura everywhere. SO PRETTY!!

"Be aware of deers dashing out on the road out of a sudden"

After we crossed the road, we reached another part of Nara Park.
Never fail to have the sight of deers everywhere

We could not resist their cuteness and keep on buying senbei along the way.
Hehehe~

This is a very very young little deer

And this is a very very BIG 'Bumble Bee'!!! LOL!!!

We spotted this stall which seems to be a good resting spot and
they sell わらび餅(warabi mochi)!!! One of my fave Japanese snacks!

いただきます!!
(Itadakimasu!!)

やわらかくて、美味い!!
(Soft and delicious!! )

I prefer it with purely きな粉(Kinako - roasted soy bean flour), without any sugar.

But most people who just started to try it will prefer to eat it with some
sugar as the roasted soy bean flour may taste a little tasteless to them.

In fact, I love the frangrant taste from the roasted soy beans

Matching it with a cup of hot green tea. グゥ~~~~!!!

After having a good rest, we continued to walk.
On our way to 東大寺(Todaiji), we

Nara's Next Top Model

Really know how to pose for the camera huh? Hahaha!!!

Before we reached 東大寺(Todaiji),
we made a visit to 氷室神社 (Himuro Jinjya - Himuro Shrine).

LOVELY SHADE OF PINK!!!!

There were many different breeds of sakura within the shrine.

垂れ桜
(Shidarezakura - the weeping sakura)

People tied the bad prediction strips on the weeping sakura trees over here.
(御神籤 Omikuji - fortune reading written on paper strips)

Spotted this trendy cafe near the traditional shrine.

Along the walkway in front of 南大門(Nandaimon - The Great South Gate),
we saw this stall selling せんべい(senbei - rice crackers).
This time round, it's for human-consume. Haha.

Many flavors were available and we were spoilt for choices.
We bought 4 pieces in 3 different flavors in the end. Hahaha.

七味
七味唐辛子 (shichimi tougarashi aka nanami tougarashi -
chili pepper made with 7 ingredients)

梅しそ
(ume-shiso - a mixture of plum paste and shiso leaf)
I love almost anything in ume-shiso flavor!
So we bought 2 pieces for ume-shiso.

ざらめ
(Zarame - sugar coating)

All the crackers were VERY FRESH, LIGHT and CRUNCHY!! Yums!!!

Some advice to all:

Be REALLY CAREFUL when walking on the pathway in front of
南大門(Nandaimon - the Great South Gate).

You wouldn't wanna step on them!! LOL!!
It's not that bad as they do not smell like cow's or goat's.

東大寺南大門
(Todaiji Nandaimon - Eastern Great Temple's Great South Gate)

The signboard written 大華厳寺(Daikegonji) is put on after the renewal in Oct 2006.
It is said that 大華厳寺(Daikegonji) is another name of 東大寺(Todaiji - Eastern Great Temple).

Before entering, I took out the 和菓子(Wagashi - Japanese Traditional Snacks) which
I bought along the way and eat it up. It's not good to keep it for long anyway. Hehe.

天平庵
(Tenpyoan)

Exquisite!

The filling is sweet bean paste.

『おしゃれ』
(Name of the snack: Oshare. Which means fancfiful.)

いちご大福です〜〜！！
(It is an Ichigo Daifuku - Strawberry Daifuku)
Daifuku is a mochi filled with sweet filling.

ウォ〜〜！！ジューシーだなぁ〜〜！！

MmmMmmmmMM~~~~~ SO JUICY!!!!
Most importantly, it's not too sweet.

Here we go!!

東大寺
(Todaiji - Eastern Great Temple)

The entry tickets for 東大寺(Todaiji - Eastern Great Temple).

大仏殿
(Daibutsuden - Great Buddha Hall)

大きい~~~~~~!!!!!!!

大仏
(Daibutsu - The Great Buddha)

On the right: うんぎょう、口を閉じた像
(Ungyou, the one with the mouth closed)

On the left: あぎょう、口を開いた像
(Agyou, the one with the mouth open)

The 2 wooden structures are as high as 8.4 metres!!

Show in the picture as below, it is one of the supporting pillars in the Great Buddha Hall.
It is said that the size of the hole is the same size as one of the Great Buddha's nostrils

There's one saying, those who are able to go pass through
it will be blessed with good health for one year

This little girl was thrilled and happy~
Sense of satisfaction written all over her face~

絵馬(ema)

Obviously... these deers were feeling very FULL after having
the other visitors feeding them~ Hahaha~

After 東大寺(todaiji - Eastern Great Temple), we walked over to
JR奈良(JR Nara) station to take a train to 京都(Kyoto).

On our way to JR Nara station, on the streets of Nara.

Walking through Vivre (departmental store), taking a short cut.

After going through Vivre, you will see this traffic light junction.

Cross the road and continue to walk straight.

奈良の２名物〜　カワイイ〜

One of the shops before reaching JR Nara station.
It is a provision shop that sells dried food.

We took JR 奈良線 (JR Nara line) from 奈良(Nara) to 京都(Kyoto).
We were sleeping during the ride most of the time as it was a very long ride

The JR奈良線快速 (JR Nara Line Express) will take about 52mins while
the JR奈良線 (JR Nara Line [normal]) will take about 80mins.

We finally arrived in 京都(Kyoto)!!!!

We saw this Belgian Waffle stall where people were queuing.

I SO WANNA TRY IT!!!!
Especially when I saw the Season's Special Strawberry flavor!
We joined the queue and bought some.

ベルギーワッフル　マネケン
(Belgian Waffle Manneken)

イェ〜イ！！買った！！

After getting the Belgian Waffles, we went over to buy the Kyoto 1-Day Bus Pass.
Also, we bought beverage to quench our thirst.

We saw this 梅こんぶ茶(Ume konbu cha - Plum flavor Kelp/Seaweed Tea) and
bought it to try. But it didn't taste as nice as how it looked like.

While waiting for the bus to arrived, we, the gluttons
took out the waffles to enjoy. Hehe

From left: Maple, Season's Special - Strawberry, Matcha(Green Tea), Plain, Chocolate and Caramel

SUPER DELICIOUS!!!!

My fave are the Season's Special - Strawberry and Matcha(Green Tea)
Marv's fave are the Maple and Caramel

Most girls have sweet tooth but In fact, Marv is the one who prefer sweet food.
I will choose carbs instead. Total Carbohydrate lover.
But gotta control the quantity. LOL.

We kept the rest and took it back to our hotel in Osaka.

The sun has already set when we reached 祇園(Gion)

A big and spacious Lawson outlet.

It was SOOO COLD here that day.
Not as bad as the previous day when we visited 二条城 (Nijyoujyou - Nijyou Castle).

We rushed into Lawson convenience store once we crossed
the street to get some warmth

One gets hungry very soon during cold weather and it's SO TRUE!! Hahaha.

We found this treasure along 祇園(Gion).
(Turn left when walking out of Lawson and walk a little down the pavement.)

ちょぼ福　たこ焼き

They use chicken broth and katsuo broth for the base which create the creamy texture.
Upon serving, they do not add the takoyaki sauce. Instead, they put a lot of spring onions,
and katsuo flakes on the takoyaki and some wasabi at the side.

超〜〜〜ウマッ！！！！

You can taste the original tast of the delicious base and the mixture of spring onions
and wasabi creates a very refreshing taste. SUPER DELICIOUS!!!
Unless you don't take wasabi, I strongly recommend this!!!!

We walked throught Gion and saw some maiko but they were moving
around in a very fast speed and it was in the dark so we didn't manage
to take pictures of them. 残念。。。

また何時か祇園へ行く時に絶対撮りますっ！！
(I will definitely take pictures of them when I go to Gion someday again!!!)

We went to this restaurant for our dinner.
I forgot the name of the restaurant and couldn't find the receipt.
But I remember it located along the stretch opposite of the
Famous 「よじやあぶら取り紙祇園店」
(Yojiya Aburatori-gami - Facial Oil Blotting paper Gion Shop).

The restaurant serves Kyoto Traditional Cuisine.
We ordered the set dinner

VERY EXQUISITE!!

I love how they made the onion looks like the petals of sakura~~!!

Yeah~ Green Tea powder Warabimochi for dessert!!

Overall:
It did not suit our taste buds as it was too bland.
Besides, both of us can't take 水菜(mizusai).

二人も水菜が苦手なんです。。。

We need to rush down to 清水寺(Kiyomizudera) so we flagged a cab.

Us in the taxi~

Don't worry, taking taxi in Kyoto is not very expensive like in Tokyo.

We reached our last destination of the day in just a short while. Like, 10~15 mins.

清水寺
(Kiyomizudera)

清水寺春の夜間特別拝観
(Kiyomizudera Haru no Yakan Tokubetsu Haikan - Kiyomizudera's Spring Night Special Visit)

うわっ！！！素敵な夜景でしょう？？！！

満開の桜の木の下に〜綺麗〜！！

I feel that Sakura in the day gives out a Happy and Cheerful aura and in the night,
with the help of the lightings, they exude a Mysterious Beauty aura. Amazing!!!

By the way, the paper bag I was holding in the picture above, I bought a lucky charm.
It is in a sweet pastel blue and pink and a bell. But I have thrown it away when
2009 has approached. It is said that all charms, omikuji and ema are
to be disposed during the visit of a brand new year.

After going down this fleet of stairs, you will arrive at 音羽の滝(Otowa no taki),
the waterfall where visitors drink for health, longevity, and success in studies

清水坂
(Kiyomizuzaka)

八ッ橋
(Yatsuhashi)
The Very Popular Kyoto Souvenir Snacks.

これらのお土産の中で一番大人気のは｢夕子｣です！

(Among these souvenir snacks, the most popular item is "Yuuko"!)

八ッ橋のシュークリーム店を見つけた〜
(We spotted this Shuu Kuriimu - Choux Cream aka Cream Puff Shop by Yatsuhashi.)

We wanted to try the Original "Custard" flavor but it was sold out so
Marv chose the "Cinnamon" flavor which I was totally against the idea.

I was right, the Cinnamon taste just doesn't match with the idea of Cream Choux
He agreed too.. LOL~

Beside the food, I bought some Kewpie accessories too.
Each Kewpie is dressed up in the place's special point or popular item.
I will show you the pics of them in one of the posts in near future. Hehe~

Then, again, we took a taxi to Kyoto station to catch our train back to Osaka.
The taxi driver was chatting happily with me on the way. Hahaha~
Along the journey, we caught the view of Kyoto Tower too. NICE!!

We reached early~ Which means... we have time to rest and relax while waiting!

YEAH!!!

I wanted to eat the Green Tea Parfait in Kyoto badly which I haven't yet!!
Now, I took this chance to try it at one of the Family Restaurant located in
the Kyoto station. I wanna try it at those popular dessert shops in our
upcoming trip!! (Though it will be snowing during the Winter~ Hahaha!)

じゃんじゃ〜ん！！

アタシのわらび餅抹茶パーフェー

(My Warabimochi Matcha Parfait)

マークンの抹茶モンブランパーフェー

(Marv's Matcha Mont Blanc Parfait)

Can you see the happiness and excitement on my face??? LOL!!

はい〜いただきま〜す！〜♡

ウマ〜〜い！！！！

ふわっ！！本物みたいな偽食べ物。すごい！
(Wow!! The fake displays which look like the real one. Fantastic!)

“美味しそうね~ん!! どれにしますかな〜”

(Looks delicious!! Which one shall I have~?")

We took the Express Train back to 大阪駅(Osaka Station) and walked over to
梅田駅(Umeda station) to take the 御堂筋線(Midousuji line)
and travel to なんば駅(Namba station).

Note:
Please do not mix up 新大阪駅(Shin-Osaka station) and 大阪駅(Osaka station).

After reaching なんば(Namba), we walked pass this ラーメン屋さん(Ramen shop)
and feel like having it for supper. We have been eating non-stop through out the day! LOL!!

金龍ラーメン
「大阪難波店」

They serve とんこつラーメン (Tonkotsu ramen - pork bone broth ramen).

After purchasing the tickets from the vending machine, please proceed to
pass the shop staff the tickets and wait for your ramen to be served.

Over here, everyone stand while eating.

This kind of standing concept of food outlets, restaurants
and even bars are very popular in Japan now.

He sure is fast and skillful in cooking. Hehe~
You can also see the 3 bowls of pickled vegetables which you
can add them into your bowl of ramen. YUMS!!!

オォ〜〜〜！！！美味しいね！これ！

特に、寒い時にアツアツラーメンを食べて、幸せだね〜〜！！

その時、は一人の女性しかいなかったんです〜

(Woah~~~!!)
(Delicious!! Especially having it when the weather was cold. Feels so fortunate!!)
(I was the only female during that time. Hahaha~)

２００９年２月１４日｢土｣
バレンタインデー

７年前のあの日はマークンとアタシの初デートです

アタシたちの出会いはMTVAA2002です
あゆがそのアワードセレモニーの為にシンガポールに来たんです。

その時、マークンとアタシは別々グループだけどね。
只顔を逢ったことで、話したことはなかったんですよ。

彼と初めて言葉を交えるのはIRCってチャットプログラムで
みんなもしてるよね〜　IRCのこと。

数日後はバレンタインで、彼がデートにアタシを誘われた＊テレ＊
和食を食べたり、プリを撮ったり、ポラロイドを撮ったり、映画を観ました。

楽しかったデートなんです

今年は一緒に８度目バレンタインを過ごしますね。
今回も、手作りチョコを用意してあげた〜！

チョコクランチを作ったよん〜
アタシたちは東京ディズニーランドのチョコクランチが好きだから

コーンフレーク（プレイン）を砕いて、チョコを溶かします。

そして、お好みシェプを形作って、冷蔵庫で10分以上冷やし、固まったら

すごく簡単でしょう〜

明治のイチゴチョコはす〜げぇ美味いよ！！

甘さの中に酸っぱさもある。意味分かる？？　

本物のイチゴの味です

じゃ〜ん！！！
ミッキーとミニーの形〜

マークンとミッキー

アタシとミニー

リヴァーサイドポイントにニューオプンしたカフェバーに行って、夜ご飯を食べた

We went to the Bugis Junction outlet. There is one at Central too.

Spring Rolls
It was filled with melted mozzarella cheese and the salad dressing was vinaigrette

Japan Trip Autumn 2008: Day 1 - 08.10.30 [木]

2009-01-09T00:59:00.003+08:00

Marv and I reached Changi Airport very early like hours before the
check-in time as we were too excited and couldn't fall asleep

We sat down with some drinks and took a rest

After checking-in, we walked around and explored a bit

Me, haha. I didn't have any make-up on as I was gonna sleep in the plane.
Thus explains the shades. Hehe

After 6 hours plus..............

We finally reach our fave place.... JAPAN!!!!

There was still some time before the limousine bus arrives so we went over
to a newspaper kiosk to get us some drinks and snacks.

At the waiting area

The vending machines

It was about time to board the bus.

Yea, still having my shades on. I intended to put on make-up in the plane but
my liquid eyeliner's tip was dried up due to the dry atmosphere in the cabin.

I use Kanebo Kate's gel eyeliner usually but it was finished
and was thinking of getting it when I reach Japan. Aaaaaaa~
I was so troubled about it. (Pдq*)

あぁ〜！！SPY！！マジで困ってたな〜

＊SPY = すっぴんヤバイ

But I tried again in the limousine bus. Phew~ The liquid eyeliner works again.
I finished putting on make-up in the bus. Mission completed

よかったねん!!!!

After a journey of about 80 mins, we reached the hotel lobby.
It was already 4plus in the noon and we were able to check-in for our room right away.

Yeah!!! Back to Crowne Plaza Metropolitan Tokyo!!!
It is like our house in Tokyo. Hee..

We headed out after putting our luggage and refreshing ourselves.

First thing we did... Oh... My.. God...!!!

A MUST for Marv!! To grab some of his fave food, takoyaki. *faint*
I am still a bit sick of it but it still tastes good and how often do I get to eat the authentic ones.

東武(プラザ館)デパ地下にある銀だこたこ焼きです.

うちらからしが好きよん〜

We love karashi(Japanese mustard sauce).

Look at his HAPPY FACE!! Excited like a child. LOL!

いただきます〜☆

Main destination of the day....

渋谷！！
(Shibuya)

Cos I have made an appointment for acrylic nail sculpture with the previous nail salon I went.

As we arrived in Tokyo in the late noon, the 1st day of this Autumn trip was
rather a short one so I arranged to do my nails that day.

Another reason, I wanna have pretty nails when I shop!

I can guarantee you that the feeling when you shop will be even HAPPIER!!!

あゆ！！！

(AYU!!!)

三浦春馬クン．かっこいいよねん〜　＊てへ＊
秋’０８TBSドラマ、ブラッディマンデイ．

(Miura Haruma. Autumn'08 TBS Drama, Bloody Monday.)

またTBSの秋’０８ドラマです．

流星の絆
いいドラマですよ！是非見てください.

Another TBS Autumn'08 drama. Ryuusei no Kizuna.
It is a good drama!! Please watch it by all means.

The world's first L'occitane Cafe.
A lot of scenes from 流星の絆(Ryuusei no Kizuna) were shot at the cafe.
妄想係長〜　超ウケるな〜　アハハ、ハハハ！！

マルキュー！！♡

I went in to take a look at the shoes before heading to the nail salon.
I was overwhelmed by the number of pretty boots! I didn't know which to choose!
I needed to rush for the appointment so I decided to get a pair of pumps first.

NAIL SALON CARRY 渋谷店

バリエ豊富な前髪ウィッグ.

The bang wigs in a wide variety of colors.

Spotted the tv? They were playing Ayu's concert. They have many of Ayu's concert DVD.
They were playing different ones from the previous time I went.

Doing nails while watching Ayu's concert perfomance. Pure enjoyment!

My nailist showed me her nails which she just did. カワイイ！！

I chose another shape instead of square this time.
This kinda shape can be found on any female's hand in Shibuya109 easily

I wanted something glittery and shiny.. as always... Hehe. And something
which can match my clothes easily. So i chose to do this Silver Glittery French set.
Glitters x Pearls x Stones

洋服に合わせやすいシルバーをしたんだ
ラメ x パール x ストーンキラキラ〜ワイ〜！！

上の写真はサワさんに撮ってもらいました~ 優しいですね~

親切なサワさんと

(With the friendly Sawa-san)

マークンと

(With Marv)

Before going back to Ikebukuro for dinner, we went to the drug store opposite Shibuya 109.

マツモトキヨシ
(Matsumoto Kiyoshi)

Cosmetics Ads Displays along the staircase

Halloween was around the corner!!

Flooded with VARIETY of COSMETICS and BEAUTY PRODUCTS!!

美肌一族のパック

(Bihada Ichizoku Sheet Mask)

These sheet masks are VERY POPULAR in Japan now.
They even have their own anime and comic books. Haha.

うちも愛用してるねん〜

(Am lovin' it too!)

As I mentioned before, here's the picture of it.
Brands like Kose, Shiseido etc.. which can be found only at deparmental store
in Singapore can be easily found at the drug stores in Japan. Terrific isn't it?!

After getting some cosmetics, sheet masks and etc.., it's time to fill up our empty stomach!

秋吉やきとり　
池袋店

(Akiyoshi Yakitori - Ikebukuro Outelt)

Both of us miss the yakitori we had in Osaka so badly!! So we decided to try the
outlet in Ikebukuro as we did not include Osaka in our itinerary for this trip.

Hmmm... we think the chef is not as pro-looking as compared to the Osaka outlet

焼きとりを食べたり、冷酒を飲んだりしたよん~

(We ate yakitori and drank cold sake)

若どり　＊タレ＊
(wakadori - uses delicious part of spring chicken)

ねぎ串焼き　＊みそ＊
(yaki negi - grilled leek)

つくね　＊タレ焼き＊
(tsukune - chicken balls in tare sauce)

ネギマ　＊タレ焼き＊
(negima - chicken with leek in tare sauce)

We seriously think that the one in Osaka outlet tasted so much better!!!

We are so missing it!!

Craving for it!!!

We went to take purikura(photo stickers) after dinner.

On our way to take puri, something caught my attention.

リラックマ！！！

(Rilakkuma!!!)

We tried A LOT of times before catching one!!

やったねん〜　うぃっしゅー！

I wanted to get another design too. But it just woudn't drop
despite umpteen times of tries. ＊ガーン＊

LOOK

That's how close we were.......

プリタイム！

(Puri Time!)

Some warm-up exercises in front of the mirror

美星２(Visee 2). The then New puri machine.

Then... some cool-down exercises for me. Hehe

Here's the puri we took.

The bottom one, it captured and enchance only my left eye! Hahahaha...
Nonetheless.. I love these still!

Before returning to the hotel and call it off a day, a visit to the convinience store!

サークルサンクス
(Circle Sunkus)

コンビニに買った物.
Here's what I bought from the convinience store.

リラックマのチュロス

Japan Trip Spring 2008: Day 4 - 08.04.01 [火]

2008-12-15T22:39:00.004+08:00

Japan, the Land of Rising Sun.
I caught the beautiful sunrise alone cos I woke up earlier to prepare. Hehe.

We took train down to Tokyo station to catch the shinkansen (bullet train).
We are going to Kansai, the West side of Japan.
In Kansai, we will be covering Osaka, Kyoto and Nara.

Before hoping on the ride, we bought our breakfast at one of the 駅弁 (Ekiben - station bento) kiosks.

マーくんの味噌カツひつまぶし風弁当
Marv's Miso Katsu Hitsumabushifuu Bento (Miso Hitsumabushi Style Pork Cutlet Lunch Box)

The Grilled Unagi (freshwater eel) of the Hitsumabushi and the Pork Cutlet.

I prefer my スペシャルサンド！！♡　(Special Sandwich)
I brought along the LG21 yogurt and 0kcal Jelly Drink(Mango flavored) too.
I am sooo greedy.. LOL. But I only managed to finish the sandwich and yogurt. エヘへ〜

おはよう富士山！！！♪＼(⌒▽⌒)／
The weather was so fine that we got to see Mt.Fuji!!!

View of the beautiful Mt.Fuji with sakura.

海も綺麗だったねん〜
(The sea was beautiful too!)

Spotted the Genie??? So CUTE!! Hahaha..
Marv wanted to get one for himself so badly after seeing it.

The shinkansen tickets. From Tokyo to Shin-Osaka.

My newly-bought Pop Art Pumps from Esperanza

★('-^v)　マーくんとアタシ　(v^-')★

The Robot Necklace

I got these earrings from Shibuya 109 the previous day. ｴﾍ♪(*^・^)ノ ⌒☆

Caught some rest during the close to two hours ride.

We purchased the One-Day pass for USJ (Universal Studios Japan) when we
reached Shin-Osaka station. After which, we purchase train tickets to 難波(Nanba).

The hotel we were staying was located right between 道頓堀(Dotonbori) and 心斎橋(Shinsaibashi).
Super convenient. 道頓堀(Dotonbori) is the food and entertainment street while
心斎橋(Shinsaibashi) is Osaka's main shopping area.

There is still arounf 1 and 1/2 hour before the check-in time so we left our luggage at the
concierge and walked around and took picture at 道頓堀(Dotonbori).

GLICOの看板！！！
おいしさと健康

かに道楽

Street of Dotonbori

赤鬼たこ焼き
(Aka-oni Takoyaki .. Red Devil Octopus balls)

It's Marv's fave time again. Takoyaki! Haha.
I got so sick of Takoyaki after eating so much of it during this Spring trip. Serious.

We bought the set which comes along with soft drink.
The takoyaki is placed in the plastic holder which is the cover for the soft drink too.

The design is very convenient. You can eat your takoyaki as usual
and just take a sip whenever you fill like to. Just without having hold
so many items in your hand. Thumbs up! (ﾟ∇^d) ｸﾞｯ!!

くくるたこ焼き
道頓堀本店
(Kukuru Takoyaki Dotonbori Main Branch)

Yes, that's right.. MORE takoyaki!!!
もう．．．勘弁してくれよ〜ヽ（￣￣￣￣￣￣∇￣￣￣￣￣￣；）ノ

Over here at くくる(Kukuru), you get to add the topping sauce and ingredients by yourself.

Osaka's Takoyaki is softer in texture as compared to Tokyo's. Tokyo's are firmer.

Finally, something other than takoyaki. Haha.

アンドリューのエッグタールト
(Andrew's Egg Tart)

抹茶小豆と白玉のエッグタールトを選んだ.
(I picked this Matcha with Red bean and dumpling flavor egg tart)

MmMMmm~~ It is the Macau Portugeese egg tart style.
The egg custard is green tea flavor and not overly-sweetened.
With the combination of red bean, dumpling and fresh cream, SO GOOOOD!!!

ｸﾞゥ〜！！(￣ε￣〃)ｂ

(In case you haven't hear about her.. エドはるみ - Edo Harumi.. click here to find out more)

Time to check in!!

We stayed at Cross Hotel. A newly refurbished hotel.
The concept of the hotel is contemporary. Chic!

Below are the pictures of the double bed room we stayed in. Spacious, chic, feel at home, comfortable.

The bathroom.

The bath tub was bigger than Crowne Plaza Metropolitan Tokyo, the hotel we always stay in Tokyo.
But don't get me wrong. I still heart Crowne Plaza Metropolitan Tokyo a lot!

The toiletries they provide are from L'occitane.

NOOO!!!! I am NOT farting..... ｱｾｱｾ(￣_￣ i)ﾀﾗｰ

I was merely exerting some power. Duhz... (*⌒∇⌒)ﾉ彡☆ｳｷｬｷｬ

After putting our luggage and exploring the room, we headed to Kyoto!

At the subway stations in Kyoto

Yeps, I changed my denim jeans into the pop blue pair.

We explored around for a few hours looked for a restaurant to fill our empty stomach.
It was real cold that we forgot to take more pictures.

We settled for this restaurant located nearby the one we wanted to go but was full-house
that night. Sobs.. But this one looks pretty good too so we decided to give it a try.

I really liked the entrance. The pathway before entering the restaurant.

They serve Contemporary Japanese cuisine.

和風創作ピッザ
Contemporary Japanese Style Pizza

Instead of the bread, they uses fresh yam as the substitute. I liked it!

野菜天ぷら
Vegetable Tempura

たこ焼き

3rd serving of Takoyaki for the day! (ﾉд-｡)
This one was on the crispier side.

石焼き鳥
Grilled Chicken on the stone

Starting to show my kung fu again.

Hey! See, so powerful right!!??
Don't get frightened by me. I'm nice. LOL!!!!!

We realized that there are A LOT of cyclists in 関西(Kansai-West Japan) comparing to Tokyo.

After dinner, we headed for the highlight of the day.

二条城
(Nijojo - Nijo Castle)

We went to 二条城(Nijojo) for the Spring Special light-up.

Visitors can view the blooming sakura under the lighting
accompanied by the castle's mysterious ancient beauty in the night.

The tickets. 400yen per adult.

The entrance

The dark rose pink colored sakura

The white ones

ス〜ごい綺麗でしょう！！

Above picture taken without flashlight.
This is closer to what we were experiencing in the castle.

Rows of sakura trees!!

The weeping sakura trees. They do look sad and a tad eerie? Haha.

We also found some art pieces by students in the castle.

てるてる坊主がたくさんありました！！
(Lots of TeruTeru Bouzu!!)

This art piece is made of sea shells.

庭はすごく綺麗！！

☆ハッピー☆

The weather was SUPER COLD!!!! I was practically numbed.
I saw a glimpse of hope when I saw these food stalls. Hot 'n' pipin' food!!

We bought hot sweet sake to drink. Ooh~ It was delicious and made us feel warm!!

甘酒を飲んでから、暖かくなったヨン〜気持ちいい！！

We stayed till the castles closed for the day.
The whole experience was great despite the cold weather.
Am proud of myself for being able to fight against the coldness till the end.
Most importantly, getting to view sakura in the night is totally different
from viewing them in the day. Moreover, viewing them at the Nijo Castle.

We took the express train from Kyoto back to Osaka. The train ride is only about 30 mins.
We changed to another line and reached Namba. We were feeling rather hungry and hunted for food.
The smell of the grilling yakitori lured me to the shop and I grabbed Marv along. Haha!

秋吉やきとり
(Akiyoshi Yakitori - Grilled skewered chicken)

ホテルの近くにある焼き鳥屋さんへ食べに行きました．

It is a cosy restaurant which makes one feel comfy, relax and able to enjoy the food.
The restaurant has this strong Japan feel that we both like.

お気に入り梅酒ロックを飲んだり、おいしい焼き鳥を食べたりして、嬉しかっただよ！

純けい　＊塩焼き＊
(jyun-kei - salt grilled chicken)

ネギマ　＊タレ焼き＊

つくね　＊タレ焼き＊
(tsukune - chicken balls in tare sauce)

"おみやげどうでっか？？" ＊笑＊

(How about souvenir? - in Kansai slang)

Marv keeps claiming that it's an illustration of the chef.
I thought the illustration was a female!!?? LOL!!

We LOVED the Yakitori LOADS!!! It was SO DELICIOUS!!!!
We are missing it so badly when we return to Singapore.
The chef is really awesome!!!

We returned to hotel after the supper.

京都で買ったのお土産チャームです．
クレヨンシンちゃんが芸者をマネしてる．
キモイでしょう？？アハハ、ハハハ！！！

Got this souvenir charm in Kyoto.
Crayon Shin impersonating Geisha.
Doesn't it look disgusting?? Hahahahaha!!!

On our way back to hotel, we did our daily routine to convinience store nearby the hotel.
I bought the then latest copy of Popteen from Family Mart in Kyoto though.

As for the pink deco-pen, i bought it from Claire's in
竹下通り(Takeshita-dori), 原宿(Harajuku) during Day 2.

2008-09-26T20:25:00.002+08:00

It was the 3rd day of our Spring trip.
The sky was slightly gloomy and raining outside.
But it did not affect our mood at all. ヽ(ﾟ▽ﾟ*)乂(*ﾟ▽ﾟ)ﾉ ♪

Early in the morning. The view from our hotel room.

渋谷

モヤイ像
(Moyai-zou)

Located at he south exit of Shibuya station.
The statue was given as a token from 新島(Niijima) for celebrating
100th anniversary of 新島(Niijima) becoming a part of Tokyo since 1880.

It was made after the Moai statues in Eastern Island, Chille,
as Moyai means ’work together’ in 新島(Niijima) dialect.

We bought some food from Tokyu Food Show,supermarket on our way to
the nail salon. Yes, I have booked an appointment when I was in Singapore.

Getting ready...

Before we get started, I have to fill up the customer particulars form.
They provide lockers to keep you bags and give you a pink ecology bag to
keep the important items which you wanna bring it into the 'work station'.

Sculping the acrylic extensions

My nailist asked the assistant to get drinks for Marv and I.
They are very sweet and detailed. They covered the cups with
the PVDC wrap to prevent the dust from filing to get into the
drinks and gave a blue straw for Marv and a pink one for me.

担当ネイルリスト澤さん

Her nails are much longer than mine and yet able to do nails for the others!

ジャンジャ〜ン！！キラキラスカルプチャー完成しました．
春になったから、桜みたいのピンクを選んだ．

JyanJya~n!! Glitter acrylic sculpture.
I have chosen pink because it reminds of the pretty sakura in Spring!
There was actually glittery gold gradient added to the tip(below the pink portion).
Crystal stones to finish the whole look.

VERY SATISFIED!!

After the lunch, we walked over to SBY.

SBY was opened on 14th December 2007.
They sells accessories, Victoria Secrets items, food & drinks like frozen yogurt,
crepes, kebab in pita breads, wraps, rice and tapioca drinks(bubble tea).

They have areas for ladies to gather, take a sit and read the browsing copy of
Japanese Fashion magazines and even provide dressing tables with
light-up mirror for touching up make-up and hair.

A great gathering place, ain't it?

Besides, you can participate in the アンケート(survey) to get the free samples
of beauty products and cosmetics before they are being released in the market.

Pure Berry frozen yogurt was not opened at SBY only until 1st May 2008.
