Finally! Writing this post makes me so happy ❤︎

This is a photo post on all the breathtaking pink blossoms in Japan this spring.

Osaka Castle

Number76 Company Trip I

For 4 years in a row, Number76 has been organizing their annual company trips to Japan! I didn’t get to join the first one in 2014 because I just gave birth to Junya. For the first 3 years they went to Tokyo, so this time they decided to do it a little differently and travel to Osaka instead, during the sakura season!

The group was huge (80 over staff!!) so they split into 2 batches at different timing, and I was so lucky to be able to jojn both ❤︎ read more

After 2 years of missing the blissful clusters of pink everywhere in Japan, I am back.

2012

2013

2014

2015

Didn’t make it to Japan in spring due to the danna’s work commitment.

2016

Didn’t make it for cherry blossom because it would be too near my due date with Sakura. But I did manage to catch the one and only early bloomer in Shinjuku gyoen.

2017

Hanami on Tuesday in Osaka. This time with Sakura.

Still the best thing ever ♥

Sakura 2012

Sakura 2013

Sakura 2014

Last year we missed sakura in Japan due to busy family schedule. But this year we are back in spring time, although not in time to catch full bloom but I did get to enjoy allllll the sakura and spring special editions!

Gari Gari Kun Ice Cream, Sakura Mochi edition! I just looove his expression lol.

Starbucks Sakura edition.

Even the cups have a hint of pink!

JunJun’s first Starbucks – Strawberry Sakura Latte!!

Sakura Jelly and white ichigo! read more

(Yes wor, still got hanami.)

I was so excited to write this post because i was waiting for QiuQiu to announce her pregnancy!!!

Now that she did i can also mention here liao! 😀 Anyway i am SO HAPPY for her because of all my friends she probably wanted a baby the most (and i was one of those people who hated babies ) and is so so sweet to all her friend’s babies including Junya <333

This post happened in April when she came to Tokyo for a short trip and managed to find time to meet me! I was 7 months pregnant and she not yet. read more

I actually blogged about this already but this is like a complete post!

Throw back birthday post!

Present for myself lol. This one piece cost 500 yen ok!

So i took like 500 pictures of it to make every cent worth it XD

Ok la i won’t say white ichigo is a super big deal, it tastes average yummy as with all Japanese strawberries, a tad milder but sweeter than the red ones. But still i cannot resist buying it every year. Just way too cute!

Birthday coordinate.

Baby bump is this big!!! Hello invisible Junya ^^ read more

2014 Hanami Date #4

Today’s hanami date is with the danna!

He took a few days off to celebrate my birthday (although it isn’t the day yet), so we had a pre-birthday hanami date. (on my birthday itself we had another proper birthday hanami date HAHAHA talk about hanami overdose :P).

Coordinate

Another sakura viewing spot for you to jot down:

Chidorigafuchi （千鳥ヶ淵）

Chidorigafuchi is near the Imperial Palace. It is a little further from Shibuya, but it is actually at teh center of Tokyo and easily accessible by train. I saw on Sakura Forecast app that it was full bloom, and i always always wanted to be there, so we headed over and got down at the National Theatre as there was a sakura exhibition going on! read more

Tokyo photo post!

It’s amazing half a year later my blog still can haz sakura lol. Anyway Hanami is really one of my favorite things to do in the world!

At 7 months pregnant and running out of flattering clothes to wear, i became a Devoted Zombie to see sakura XD.

Wore the most comfortable outfit available that day!

So it was full bloom finally! 😀 😀 😀

NALU (English speaking hair salon in Omotesando Tokyo) always has an annual hanami gathering each sakura, this time they did it in Yoyogi. read more

It was late March in Tokyo.

It was still early but the main sakura trees in Yoyogi park started to bloom.

About two weeks before that i was with RinRin for Kawazuzakura hanami date. Then a few days later, i was also in Yoyogi for a full bloom date with Number76 Tokyo team. Then a week later i had a late hanami date with QiuQiu lol. I think i must have come to Yoyogi not less than 5 or 6 times! So i saw yoyogi park from botak (bald) to early bloom to a sea of sakura (in the sky) until a pool of sakura (on the ground). I think other than the cleaners working inside the park, nobody has gone hanami more times than me in Tokyo wtf. read more

Sakura year 2012

Sakura Year 2013

And…. this year’s version. Just got back from Japan, finally settled down a little (with house still full of unpacked luggages omg), and i’m here to annoy you right away.

想我有这么容易放过你吗。

Needless to say, April is my absolute favorite month to visit Japan, not only i get to have an excuse to buy myself a birthday present (air tickets to japan), the whole country is also in-your-face-pink. Even people who hate pink, too bad, you just have to accept your fate, there’s no escape lolol. read more

Every year my birthday wish is to be able to spend the day in Japan under the sakura with the people i ♡. It came true 3 years in a row.

2012’s birthday

2013’s birthday

3 years i get to see sakura in full bloom too! So… hint for you!!! If you wanna see sakura, come to Tokyo on my birthday lolol.

This year is extra awesome, because since many people took the hint, the entire KL and Singapore is in Tokyo during my birthday! Haih so busy i need to clone myself liao lolol.

So this year it’s pretty much the same. Danna took a day off for our date! In 2012 it was to Okinawa where i sort of, kind of, not really got proposed wtf. Last year was to Sendai as a married couple. read more

Quick update!

Sakura is coming to full bloom starting today in Tokyo!

I want to do this every year.

Every place i go where there’s sakura, people always slow down and stop by, whip out their phone, take pictures after pictures, sighing to each other how beautiful it is as if they see it for the first time in their life.

The power of sakura.

All my friends who are coming to Tokyo soon are getting super nervous about whether they could catch the full bloom in time or not. Indeed it is really unpredictable and fragile! It makes a big difference if you just miss it by a week, or have rainy/windy day. read more

This is a #backinJapan post!

Rinrin and i joined Number76 Omotesando’s hanami (sakura viewing) at this park near Ghibli Studio during (almost finishing) sakura season. It was one of the last few good days before the crazy storm came and blew away all the sakura.

#1

Lake, swan boats and sakura

Fallen petals…

The entire ground in the park was covered by fallen sakura it was like a giant pink carpet.

Our picnic spot!!

Gomi san! She always does my hair when i go to Number76 in Japan! ^^ read more
