Lighting is very important as it changes the entire ambiance of your home.

We are currently living in 3 different homes, and I must say that the lighting makes a huge difference, and it greatly affects the comfort of our living space.

For example, our apartment in Singapore is quite old and the lights’ quality have deteriorated over the years. At some space it is too dark, making it a little eerie to be honest. Our backyard’s lighting actually short-circuited a few weeks ago and now it is totally a non spark-joy area for us at night lol. read more

Quick post on the theme park we visited with Cheesiepetit during our stay in Tokyo.

We are running out of new major theme parks to visit so we are starting to explore the lesser-known ones. Who knows we may find a few hidden gems!

Junya loves vehicles in general so we decided to bring him to see some trains this time.

The Keio Rail-Land theme park/Museum is operated by Keio Electric Railway Company and is located in Hino city, Tokyo. It is adjacent to the train station “Tama Dobutsukouen” on the Keio Dobutsuen Line. It’s quite a distance from Tokyo, we drove there and it took us about 40 minutes. read more

I never quite got people who are addicted to Snapchat because I thought it was quite a rubbish app (either it really is or I’m getting too old for social media lol). First of all it is impossible to navigate and secondly, it is all made of snippets that’s not qualified to make it to an actual Instagram video. PLUS it gets deleted the very next day so what exactly is the point of it ah?

People who are popular on SC are probably super celebs, or really have a life so interesting that everyone doesn’t want to miss a single second following it. Unfortunately for me I’m stuck in between. My life is neither entertaining enough to be broadcasted every minute live to the whole world, nor boring enough for me to want to waste it away watching other people’s snaps. (To spend 2 minutes watching how an acquaintance turns into a dog and lick the screen from various different angles? No thanks. I rather change 15 diapers instead HAHAHA). read more

I blogged about Goodsania last year, a shopping site selling Japanese household items that make home living more convenient and enjoyable!

This time I did more shopping on the site, since my whole life is pretty much about cleaning/cooking/laundry now.

Here are some of the items I got!

Hahaha super aunty.

But actually a lot of the items do spark joy for me and the home other than being useful!

Also, when you have no time to even get out of your house (to buy groceries and catch some pokemons on the way), Goodsania is a godsend when you only need a few clicks and everything can be ordered and delivered! read more

(This is about the noodle from Kyushu, not the Shiba in our house.)

I rarely do restaurant reviews but today I want to introduce a fast-food chain called Ringer Hut in Japan, which specializes in Nagasaki Champon.

The danna would crave for Ringer Hut every now and then when we are back to Japan. I have had Ringer Hut many times before, while I think it is quite delicious, it never struck me as life-changing, as how Ichiran Ramen does for some foreign tourists.

But then I understood that it was because Champon is the danna’s soul food since he grew up eating it in Nagasaki. He said it is just like fried beehoon for me. Yeah that makes sense. My whole childhood was pretty much all about fried beehoon lolol. The school canteen sold it, birthday parties or any sort of gathering/party would for sure have it, my mom cooks it (until today). read more

Number76 Publika Renewal Open

I visited the newly re-opened Number76 Publika Branch when we were back to KL.

After renovation it is now expanded to twice the original size. I love how it looks like a florist from outside haha.

It’s not easy to keep so many plants alive! I once had a Christmas tree, some cactus, and other assorted air plants, they are all dead. -_-. I think I just have black fingers uhuhuhu.

Little green space outside the salon.

Spacious interior that is double the size before.

Expanded chilling space so bring your bf, gf, aunty, maids… read more

Most of the baby items in our home are bought from Japan. I usually get it from Akachanhonpo which is like the shopping heaven for every mother. Once I recommended a friend who just became a new dad to visit Akachanhonpo, he said thanks to me his two luggages are all full XD.

Food.

Miscellaneous items.

Many of my readers ask me how they can get those items without flying all the way to Japan. Well… I say fly to Japan! Hahaha. But when I am based in KL, usually I get most things I need from Mothercare, the one-stop solution that provides everything you will ever need for basic baby care. read more

#Tokyolife post!

Sakura’s second time to Tokyo ^^.

We usually take JAL from Changi airport late at night so that the kids can sleep all the way and the danna can go straight to work after landing instead of wasting one extra day on the flight. #workaholic

STAY

We stay at the same apartment but different room every time so it’s quite interesting to experience different kinds of sizes and layouts.

This time around we have a double (queen size) bed instead of a super single. Still it is really small so Junya ended up sleeping on the edge of the bed T_T. read more
