From my previous Japan trip in October!

Sometimes i feel that i’m so lucky to be a mother, otherwise i probably will not ever rediscover all the juvenile fun stuff. It feels like i have unlocked my happiness horizon and am now able to appreciate even more things, including pushing a toy bus around.

This time around we brought Junya to Fantasy Kids Resort, a playground in the same mall as Moff Animal World in Inzai.

We went there without any expectation, and it turned out to be the largest indoor kids playground in Japan, and the best i’ve ever been!!! read more

Today i’m going to blog about an awesome animal farm which you can pet an alpaca!!!

Of course, in Japan. 

We accidentally found out about this place when we sent off a friend to Narita airport. Initially we wanted to go to Mother Farm again, but turned out that it was too far away so the danna searched for a nearer animal farm. And Bingo.

Moff Animal World

Funnily enough, we thought that it was a park/farm like Mother Farm, but it turned out to be an indoor mini zoo inside a shopping mall called the Big Hop Garden Mall in Inzai, Chiba Prefecture. read more

So the other day two big parcels arrived at our door!

What is it what is it?? 

Junya ws so excited to find out.

“Mama. Papa.” he pointed out. Yeap, that’s right.

Inside the beautiful ivory case, is two very beautiful albums, of papa and mama’s wedding. It is our 3rd anniversary soon and i thought i wanted to reprint a wedding album with some of the photos that were not used before!

I love love love the romantic glass cover! The two albums are 14″ x 14″ + 10″ x 10″ each with the personalised carry case Junya was pointing at. read more

I have briefly talked about this movie before, “Kiseki No Ringo”, literally, the “Miracle Apples”.

(Bonus of the movie: Original soundtrack by Joe Hisaishi!!!!)

The danna told me to watch this movie, and he said i would appreciate Japanese fruits even more after i watch it. And yes, i was really glad i watched it, and now i have unlimited respect for the farmers in Japan.

As i have talked about grapes, melons, peaches in Japan, apples are just another priced produce especially in Aomori, a prefecture in Tohoku. read more

Today i’m blogging about my baby item shopping haul from Japan!!!

If you are into health and convenience (then again, which mom isn’t???) and maybe some kawaii, Japan will be your shopping heaven for your babies/kids.

Ever since i had Junya, 80% of my luggage space are reserved for Junya’s items. Cannot resist.

Before that here are some things you will need to know if you are going to Japan with your baby/young kids! I may have mentioned it before but here they are again:

My hair could be under a lot of stress with all the traveling and exposure to all kinds of different climates.

Usually back in Malaysia i will just pop by the salon and get a serious intensive fix for my hair monthly, but when i’m traveling i hardly have the time (and luxury!) to do that, so indeed sometimes i do think my hair needs an instant miracle to look good after all the flying XD.

Is there something quick, affordable and effective to fix damaged hair in an instant?

So i heard the 3 Minute Miracle does. And i am giving it a chance. read more

One of my wishes in this life was to go to a concert of my favorite Japanese singers.

(Another life wish was to meet my music God and tell him how much i love his music. I did.)

And then i was given this chance to fulfil my dream by the same kind friend who also let me meet my music God 2 years ago.

It was Ayumi Hamasaki’s live in Tokyo.

I have loved Ayu for as long as i could remember. Her songs were my highschool dance music (in my bedroom lol). She was my fashion idol.

So attending her concert was like a dream come true for me. Except for one problem. read more

In my previous blog post about SK-II, i talked about how my skin condition is better than when i was younger. I kept thinking that once you go past your early twenties your skin will just go down down down down down.

It’s been many many years after those “early twenty” years, but i am feeling younger and younger. The irony is that i felt even younger after becoming a mother.

So i am a true believer of changing ones destiny. Not just skin, of course, but may i just say that many things in life can be just the way you want them to be. read more

When you travel for 3 weeks and walk a loooong way everyday, foot care is a must although it may not show up in your to-pack list.

That is especially when you travel to Japan, where pedi care is no less important than skin care! If you go to Don Quijote in Japan, you can see that there’s a whole rack dedicated to just foot care, ranging from foot files, masks, paddings, socks, creams, etc. Japanese women do take great care of their feet!

And the no.1 ranking electronic foot file is none other than Scholl Velvet Smooth Express Pedi: read more
