Read Casio Exilim MR1 Part 1 here.

You can refer back to that post for all the basic features. In this second review, i will focus on some of its modes and filters!

Just to recap, Casio Exilim MR1 is a new style selfie camera that captures the image you see reflected in its mirror surface.

Let me just elaborate on a rather often overlooked problem of other selfie cameras.

So this picture is taken with my TR50. What’s wrong with this picture? Nothing.

Except that we are both looking at ourselves, which is the screen. Which is away from the lens. While of course i could just make an effort to look at the lens instead, but to be honest it is quite hard to do that because people who takes selfies are people who are obssessed with looking at themselves LOLOLOL. Ok la and also if you take a groufie, chances are some people will look at the lens and some will look at the screen. read more

You never expect that there are so much to do in a hotel!

I have previous blogged about the Keio Plaza Hotel’s Hello Kitty Room, this time around, it is all about foooood.

There are more than 20 restaurants and bars (!!!) in Keio Plaza Hotel, so you can expect an array of gourmet surprises during your stay in the hotel.

To be honest, during my 2-night-stay in Keio Plaza, i almost never went outside of the hotel (only to Isetan and Don Quijote nearby for shopping), and i had all my 3 meals in Keio Plaza daily.  It was almost like a relaxing resort holiday. So here are my dining experience throughout the 2 days! read more

I have introduced Oui, Ayano Ruban briefly last year, and this recent Japan trip i was invited to visit them again!

Oui, Ayano Ruban is a fashion brand in Omotesando, Tokyo, which concept is “Grown-Up Princess”. As you can guess, everything is frilly, girly and oh so sweet.

In February they had a special collaboration with Hello Kitty, and Kitty chan herself made a grand appearance at the shop in Omotesando!

With the signature Oui, Ayano Ruban Kitty in real life, she has a special huge bow on her head, so big that it covers her ears! She was also wearing a glittery frilly dress dotted with pink hearts <3 read more

I’m pausing the entries for family trip in Japan because i’m so excited to share my experience of staying in the Hello Kitty Rooms in Keio Plaza Hotel, Shinjuku Tokyo!!

It looks like this!!

Honestly it’s really one of the prettiest hotel rooms i’ve ever stayed in my life!!

First of all a little bit of history about Keio Plaza Hotel. I’ve actually stayed in Keio Plaza Hotel, Shinjuku before during one of my blogger trips to Japan. Usually the organizers put the media guests up at Keio Plaza because it’s very international, and more importantly read more

I’m so confident that there are gonna be more posts like this so i added the month and year. 😛

Read my previous Tokyo Omiyage (Jan 2015) post here!

So i just came back from my solo trip to Japan for about 5 days. It’s pretty much a pampering girly beauty + shopping trip X everything Hello Kitty (will blog more about it!). And i bought tons of stuff!!

And the thing is that i noticed that now that i am a mother and a (sort 0f) housewife, the things i shop for in Japan is also completely different -_-. I bought zero clothes for myself this time (so strange, i didn’t even think about it), and when i go to the malls, i go to do groceries and visit the baby department -___-. read more

(This post is written quite awhile ago, i think when i was still pregnant! I only get to publish it now XD)

It’s been a long time since a make-up tutorial!

The last time i blogged about Candy Doll (a lip, cheek and foundation series produced by Masuwaka Tsubasa made for gyaru make-up) was in 2011!

I am sure you have seen Candy Doll series online and in SASA, and to add to their latest collection, they have a brand new packaging with new colors!

Here they are!

The foundation series.

I’m really lucky to have number76 take care of my hair all the time, and i sort of take it for granted and think that i can do whatever i want and they will fix it anyway. So i actually neglected the very important home care and just use random shampoos sold in drugstores.

Did you know?? Most of the shampoos in the markets contain silicone because it gives off a smooth and less frizzy finish, but is actually harmful in the long run because it can cause hair follicles to clog and result in unhealthy scalp. read more

New nails!

Guess when was the last time i had my nails done??

2 years ago. For real! Ever since i got pregnant, i haven’t been going to the nail salon. At first it was plain laziness (pregnancy fatigue, anyone?), and after Junya was born, there simply wasn’t any time. Sit at a nail salon for 3 hours?? I could have had built Junya a castle lolol.

Some of us just don’t have the luxury to spare a good few hours apart from the baby just to do nails! But… what if you still can have fancy elaborated nails done all at the convenience of your own home, on your bed even, if you like? read more

Quick note: I just realized that many comments got stuck in spam T___T. And i accidentally deleted all spam forever so means your commenst will never see the daylight T__T. Just want to let you know that if your comments didn’t appear it is not because i hate you ok? T___T. Please let me know (via email!) if it still doesn’t work for you. And if i didn’t reply your question, you can ask me again!

When you travel with a baby and out the whole day, for sure you will have to change a few diapers/nurse or feed the baby, and even just get yourself and the baby some rest. read more

Can Casio get any more genius?

By now if you haven’t owned any Casio camera, you are probably either very outdated or very hipster (refuse to get cuz everybody has one lol), because most people around me have at least one from Casio Exilim series!

So yea, i have been taking all my photos with my brand new Casio Exilim TR50 (the champagne color one you always see in my coordinate shots), which is no-doubt super awesome. There’s only a catch. Not everybody can afford a selfie mirror that costs more than RM3000. read more

I can’t say that i am an expert since i only have 1X baby and 1X experience, but after a 3-week stay in Tokyo with Junya for the first time, i am greatly inspired and would be very happy to share some tips and ideas that i found very useful for me!

There are too many things to blog about so perhaps i would separate them in a few entries maybe by category (eating out/dressing up/locating nursery, etc). This is the first generic one that answers some of the questions many of you have emailed me. read more
