Tokyo update!

On one of the danna’s off days we decided to visit an indoor theme park since it was a full day rainy day and we couldn’t go for any outdoor activities.

I have blogged about Inzai Fantasy Kids Resort before in Chiba, it’s too far to travel there so we looked for a them park nearer to us in Tokyo, and decided to go to Tokyo Dome City’s ASObono, one of the largest indoor kids theme parks in Tokyo.

It’s huuuuge! This is the baby area (below 2 years old). read more

Do you know “Hoppe Chan”?

If you haven’t heard, Hoppe Chan is currently the most popular character among elementary and junior highschool girls in Japan.

From Hoppe Chan’s official website.

It is so popular that there’s a loooong queue outside the Harajuku shop.

There are even magazines just dedicated to Hoppe Chan!!

And this superstar character, has just made its debut in Kuala Lumpur!!

Little Harajuku is a new accessories shop located at 3rd floor, Berjaya Times Square, coming all the way from Japan!! read more

The forever revolutionary SK-II!

They have so many new launches and it’s always very exciting to attend SK-II’s events.

The latest one is the launching of SK-II Genoptics Aura Essence at the SK-II #changedestiny World at KLCC.

With gorgeous Daiyan Trisha who is also a fan of SK-II.

Ladies in white!

All the guests received a pretty box called #auragoals Beauty Bites, and… what is it??

It’s actually all the skin problems you may have @.@. Only SK-II can make skin problems look so delicious!! XD read more

Almost about 2 years ago, I wrote a blog post on “One Day As a Mom“, when Junya was first born.

Now I am writing as a mom of a toddler and a soon-to-be-born baby. So… technically not mom of two yet XD.

Thank you for sharing all your experiences in my previous post, thank you for the emails, messages, and comments. I never expected that so many mothers are facing similar helper situation and were stuck in the same emotional stress. Thanks for letting me know that you guys are doing so well and that I can do it too. read more

I am taking a break from blogging and work.

Or at least taking it at my own pace and not to worry about deadlines and going for meetings once I clear all my existing work. It kind of sucks because this Monkey Year is supposed to be the most prosperous for my career hahahha but I guess it will prevail in some other way that I never forsee?

But it was a conscious decision to make. I am going to deliver a new baby in May and things will have to slow down a little for me, with a 2-year-old and  new born. So I think it is time I be a little more realistic. read more

Even the cups have a hint of pink!

JunJun’s first Starbucks – Strawberry Sakura Latte!!

Sakura Jelly and white ichigo! read more

It’s the food post again!!!

You can read my past Tokyo food posts under this category.

Anyway, guilty confession: I did zero cooking this time around T___T. Not even for Junya T___T. Usually I would at least cook for him so that he doesn’t have to eat the same heavily seasoned adult food. This time around I could not even bend over to wear my shoes properly so I thought I’d give myself a break. T__T.

But I am so glad that he is almost two now!! So I can feed him table food and feel less guilty about it. So for the entire two weeks, he eats out with us, or… combini food most of the time @.@. read more

Singapore really has almost all the Japanese things I needed T____T.

I am back to KL now for my maternity leave, and the danna is based in SG now, so I really can’t wait to join him again so our family can be together!!

In Malaysia, one of my biggest woes is that there’s no way I could watch Japanese channels live. When I stayed in Japan with Junya while being 8 months pregnant and have mobility limitation, we just watched TV all day all night and it was so so so addictive. I miss Japanese TV programs T___T. read more

I have been a big fan of glasses/spectacles for a couple of years now! Even though I have perfect eyesight, I have quite a collection of plano spectacles in my wardrobe. Sometimes I steal the danna’s glasses to wear too! 😛

Did you know that a pair of glasses can instantly create an entirely different look and make your fashion super fun?

Even more so you should invest in good and stylist glasses if they are your daily necessity.

Megane Samurai Japan is one of the most popular spectacle shops in Hokkaido, Japan. And they are the first and only spectacle shop that arrives in Malaysia which focuses on not only 100% Japan quality, but also the fact that spectacles are an essential part of fashion and it should be super stylish and fun! read more

A post on shopping and souvenirs in Tokyo!!

Having stayed in Singapore for a short period of time put many things in perspective.

First of all, when in Tokyo doing groceries:

OMG WHY EVERYTHING SO CHEAP OK BUY ALLLLLLLL.

Remember the $22 broccoli in Singapore? Well I can feed a whole farm of bunnies here.

My grocery!!! I can even splurge on one of the most atas ranges and YET still at least half the price cheaper than Japanese groceries in Singapore.

Ibarakiss Ichigo from Ibaraki Prefecture for like $8, grapes for like $3, super premium Mexican avocado for $4 and also some super sweet fruit tomato for $4, which Singapore sells at $12. Siaooooooo. read more

We are back from Tokyo!!!

I’m back KL now to take a rest. Every time we come back everybody gets sick -_-. The weather maybe? Looks like the haze is back T___T.

To add insult to injury, our helper decided not to return after we sent her back to her country when we were away. The danna had to go back to Singapore immediately for work. Now I have to take care of Junya alone at 8 months pregnant. Two nights ago Junya vomitted and had diarrhoea, and now it is my turn.

Things can’t go any worse than this at the moment. It’s a little bit depressing really. But I will be strong. I am a mother. There’s nothing I can’t do. read more
