This time i had to come back to Tokyo all by myself before the danna joins me later because i had to renew my residence visa before it expires. And i will be here for a month so i rented a small apartment and live like everyone else would in Tokyo.

The living spaces in Tokyo are miserable, but you get used to it. I was just mostly very very very very happy to get out of the whole haze situation in KL that had made me depressed and angry for a long time. All i wanted was to have the freedom of breathing some decent air and not feel like i’m  trapped indoor indefinitely. read more

Almost every other day i receive emails asking me questions about Japan.

I used to answer really nicely and give suggestions because talking about Japan alone makes me happy, but recently i’m doing that less because when i do, 90% of the time i don’t even get a reply or some sort just to say “thank you” or something along that line, so i started to feel like i’m Wikitravel in an insignificant way. Except that i’m still honored that you consult me before you even go to uncle Google or Wikitravel. So Google/Wiki, i win. read more

Here are some of the coordinate pictures for the past 2 months!

It gets increasingly challenging as i can barely fit in any of my usual bottoms now, and i’m not so much a bump-showing person (hide it ALLLLL while you still can!!!) so expectedly most of my outfits are getting baggier and looser as i grow bigger XD

So here are some coordinate shots from between 17 weeks until 25 weeks now, pretty much in chronological order: ♡

(In some pictures i was wearing crazy high heels but that’s for sponsored shot purposes only so relaxxxxxx :D) read more

Awhile ago i talked about all the useful household items you should have in your home, and today i’m adding one more, to your kitchen, and it is the newest Sharp Plasmacluster Dual Swing Door Fridge.

So what’s so special about this fridge!!

Let’s take a look at a video first where i did a very amateur virtual tour of the fridge.

Finished watching??

Let’s summarize the points!!

Dual Swing Door

I think this is a genius idea!! (And i have no idea how it is done, it’s really like magic to me.) Ever bought a piece of furniture back home to only realized that the direction is wrong?! With the door open from both sides, you can place your fridge anywhere and it fits any kind of kitchen layout! read more

Australia is one of danna’s favorite countries (besides Japan of course) because of the perfect environment for family living annnnnnnd also the sea and waves. We went there during CNY break for a two-weeks holiday, not for sight seeing but to get a feel of how it is like to live in Australia. Who knows one day we may really relocate there. read more

Two weeks ago i was in Gold Coast, and one day i was wondering why Australian loves fresh flowers so much to the point all supermarkets are displaying them right at the entrance. Hmm it must be a huge business….

And then i realized it was Valentine’s day.

So yea that’s the kind of woman i have turned into. I don’t supposed it is a bad thing. XD

Anyway this was my Valentine’s gift to the danna (on Vday in Japan, girls will have to give their loved ones hand made chocolate. Girls get nothing. So actually this stupid day is best forgotten lol): read more

Photos from two weeks of holiday in Queensland, Australia!

Pretty much sums up what we did the whole two weeks.

Danna: surf.

Me: turf.

Sea

It was his kind of holiday.

Sea, wave, a surfboard, lots of beer, and zero itinerary.

Every day a different beach, riding different waves.

I was never trained to be an outdoor person (i hate the sun >.<), but coming to Australia makes me slightly envious of how people here can just chill by the beach or park or go on a skateboard or scooter or surfboard and look like they have the whole world and want nothing else. read more

So the danna and i are spending two weeks in Australia as we come here annually in February mainly for surfing (him) and relaxing (me).

The first night we arrived in Brisbane, we checked in to a motel near the airport where we spent 30 minutes murdering mosquitoes on the ceiling. (After that we had to wear our shoes in the room as it was quite hard to walk around without accidentally stepping on insect corpses.)

The second day, we drove to Gold Coast and checked into one of the best accommodations during our trip so far: QT Gold Coast Hotel at Surfer’s Paradise. We only planned on staying a night in Surfer’s Paradise but the room was so awesome we decided to extend another night! read more

Haven’t updated on EMODA coordinates in awhile!

When i knew that i got pregnant and was getting bigger everyday, i thought i was gonna give up my favorite clothes forever and start shopping at maternity shops and wear typical empire waist line big floral dresses T___T.

Every few other days there would be a few favorite bottoms i was shocked to discover i could no longer fit in anymore, and i did panic and think, how am i gonna survive the next 6 months or so?!?!

But then i remembered Ena was pregnant too and throughout her entire pregnancy she looked fabulous as usual. I was very puzzled and amazed at the same time how anyone can look SO good pregnant so i stalked her Instagram and downloaded all her pregnant coordinates and studied them one by one lol. read more

I’m probably considered quite open-minded when it comes to trying new fashion mix and match and coordinating, but one thing i’m still not quite good at is accessorizing, especially watch wearing.

If you scroll through my coordinate pictures you will probably see that i am mostly bare-wristed (bangles or any arm wear is almost impossible because of my chicken skinny wrist T___T). Also because watches can be an expensive accessory compared to necklaces or earrings so i thought i couldn’t afford a whole drawer of collection for all the different styles i have. read more

 Part 1 here!

Is post is just mostly photos as most of the things i wanted to say about Paris was in part 1. XD

French Poodle?

She is crazy hyper! And i much prefer poodles this size i think they are waaay cuter 😀

Cold with red nose and hair buns fell down XD

Paris cityscape!

The danna really love the architecture there but i’m not so much an old building person so pretty much every city in Europe was kind of the same to me.

Gelato. What do you call Gelato in French? XD I’m so so biased towards Italian when it comes to food! read more
