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

Did i mention that i love EMODA Spring collection yet???

Pinup Lady is really the cutest collection so far! And it is so so in season because gingham retro look is super hot right now.

EMODA GLOBAL

Who wouldn’t love this!!! Just looking at this made me fall in love. ♡＿♡

Some of the EMODA magazine coordinate, available on EMODA Global site for your reference!

Also…

I am so so excited for their upcoming EMODA X Marilyn Monroe special collaboration. There are cherry prints, lots of yummy cherry red and it’s just really sexy, which is so rare coming from EMODA! read more

What would excite me more than getting me to try out everything Japan-related!

Herbal Essences’s new series is Japan-inspired and formulated with its brand new blend of aromas. And as Jane and myself are big fan of Japan, we were very honored to be selected as the special guests for the media launch + tea party.

The visual is so pretty and indeed very Japanese ♡

There are two variants, one is Sweet Rose, aka Touchable Smooth haircare, in pink color. With sweet and gentle Rose scent, the new formula of naturally derived ingredients works for hair which is dry and unruly. If you love smooth silky hair, this is the one for you. read more

I am becoming a fan of Casio!! (Just got two of their cameras, but more review on that later.) Earlier on i had my first Sheen watch, and today i’m showing my brand new Baby G!

Baby G is soooo nostalgic! It has been popular since high school time, and it was so so so cool to own a Baby G back then.

The latest Baby G Neon Illuminator, and here are the color variations!

Cute right????

The sweetest one is of course baby pink with a splash of pop colors for the facial elements. The heart on 2 is too cute!! ♡ read more

This is so crazy. And this is not really a blog post. This is just me explaining why this isn’t a real post.

Time has never been more valuable and i am so anxious to even waste one second of my time here in Japan since i probably won’t be back here for the year T__T. The calendar is dotted with exciting events the entire month. There are too much new food and old favorite to try and go back for, there are too much sakura to see. Tokyo is too fun to be missed out at a time like this.

This is the longest i have stayed in Japan for one stretch in total (4 weeks), yet i feel like time is just slipping away from me and more than two weeks are already gone and there are still so much i need to do!!!!!!!!!! read more

Quick update from Tokyo!

It’s impossible to have a boring day in Tokyo, especially in spring where the whole city is buzzing with pink sakura delight and endless fashion events!!

So today the girls and i attended the first show Stretsis Autumn Winter 2014/15 (it’s crazy to keep up with world fashion! barely even warm enough to throw away down jackets and it’s winter again?!), a fashion brand by 3 sisters from Thailand.

Fashion show was in Shibuya Hikarie!

MERCEDES BENZ FASHION WEEK read more

There are so many fashion parties in Tokyo it is crazy!!!

Yesterday (on an unrelated note it was also White Day in Japan) it was a non-stop party day for RinRin and me, and instead of spamming Instagram i’m posting all the pictures here!

Here’s how our day went:

First went to number76 Omotesando Tokyo for hair pampering!

Magic treatment and styling by Dejima San! You can go look for him if you wanna fix your hair in Tokyo!

RinRin highlighted her pair pink again too at 76 salon! read more

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
