♥ { HELLO KITTY & TOKIDOKI }

Finally, the ultimate collaboration of Hello Kitty & Tokidoki collection are out for grabs ♥. These collection is superb cute, ちょーかわいい (totally kawaii), irresistible & adorable madness ♥.

I would really love to grab these if I'm a fan of both (Luckily, I am not fan of both so I can save my money for something else, tee-hee) ♥. But what attract me the most in these collection are actually the use of pink colors with these kawaii かわいい characters ♥.

But if you ask me which one of these collection I will buy, probably will be the 2 figures above ♥. Reason is because I love collecting Figures (Anime or Designer / Urbban Vinyl) & apparently the fusion of Hello Kitty with Tokidoki characters above are just too cute / adorable / pretty / kawaii / irresistible !!! especially that "Cactus Kitten" (Hello Kitty in Cactus suit) with some pink spikes & bling-bling diamonds attached to it ♥.

But it cost bloody $160.00 USD if you buy it here !!! T_T blargh, too expensive that can makes me cry, can ?! まったく、高いすぎでしょうね？！♥.

There also a plushie version of "Cactus Kitten" (Hello Kitty in Cactus suit) which is above picture, but for some reason its not as appealing as the figure to me ♥.

♥ { TOKIDOKI FUJITSU LIFEBOOK }

Another gadget that has been invaded by the most hot & famous designer toys 'brand', Tokidoki ♥. This Fujitsu LifeBook® U820 Mini-Notebook is eco-friendly, compact, light-weight & has Tokidoki design on the cover ♥. Though I find it a bit ugly, weird & doesnt suit the overall look at all, with the design on the cover / top part only while the rest looks plain, left untouched by the kawaiiness of Tokidoki ♥.

♥ { TOKIDOKI CHRISTMAST TREE }

This is probably the only loveliest christmast tree with so much cute / かわいいもの (kawaii things) hanging on it ♥. I'm not really a Tokidoki fan, but I admit this christmast tree is just simply adorable ♥.

It's also my 1st time seeing someone use designer toys / urban vinyl toys as christmast tree decoration (I dont think I would do that to any of my figures / toys) ♥.

♥ { TOTORO CHAIR LET U SIT ON HIS TUMMY }

It is indeed one adorable & かわいい Totoro / トトロ chair that let you sit on his tummy without worries to hurt him or get him mad ♥. This comfortable soft fluffy chair being sold here for 35,000 yen (36,750 yen with TAX Included) which is around $613 SGD !!! ♥. Pretty expensive price for a floor chair though, but Ghibli products / merchandise are known for their expensive pricing anyway haha ♥.

♥ { HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR }

Happy Lunar New Year or Happy Chinese New Year for those who celebrate it ♥. Anyway, me & hubby dont celebrate new year though so its just like another a good long holiday for us ♥. It's 4 days holiday (includes the weekends) from 24 - 27 January 2009 & since most of the shops are closed during these period (other than some fast food restaurants & some few shops), lots of people in the supermarket to buy food to cook at home, too bad I didnt take my camera with me when I was in the supermarket though, was too busy shopping for food supplies, otherwise I can take picture of the crowd ♥.

We are most likely staying home playing Super Mario Galaxy or Fallout 3 and watch some movies or Japanese dorama together to spend the days ♥. I assumed most of you are spending the new year by gathering with family members ? ♥. Or dont tell me you're expecting only the Red Envelope for this ocassion ? lol rofl lmao ♥.

♥ Do you celebrate Chinese New Year / Lunar New Year in your country ?.
♥ How do you celebrate your Lunar New Year ?.

♥ { PSP 3000 CARNIVAL COLORS }

Apparently, there's a new Carnival-themed colors for PSP 3000 from Japan (Asia) ♥.

Personally I dont like these colors compare to the PSP Slim colors range, this colors range a bit too crayola & immature/childish/kiddish for me (though I kinda like the Red & Blue color ones) ♥.

I also still dont get it why Sony Japan are making the new PSP 3000 where the PSP Slim are still selling fine in the market (I suppose) ♥. Probably it's because of the pirated PSP games around ? or they're just try to milk more money? no Idea what's the real motivation behind this new PSP 3000 ♥.

These new 3000 PSP Carnival colors themed scheduled to release on 19 March 2009 in Japan & will sold for 19,800 yen each. The bundles are 24,800 yen which includes a 4GB memory stick, a pouch & a handstrap ♥. I'm probably will still stick to my Pink Rose PSP Slim (until they have Magenta or Hot Pink version someday) ♥.

Anyone getting this Carnival colored theme PSP 3000 when it's released ? :3 ♥.

♥ { BISHOUJO PSP SKIN }

If you're an Otaku who loves bishoujo 2D characters ALOT & played a lot of Eroge or Dating-simulation games & also happen to have a PSP, what would you react if you see this kind of PSP Skin / Casing ? ♥.

I would probably will feel happy (I kinda like the 1st & 2nd picture) but then again, I rather bling-bling my PSP with crystals, stones & stickers that makes it more super cho kawaii & girlish than otaku-looking, teehee ♥.

♥ { ECCHI THOUGHTS }

I spotted this image when I was at Asobit Chara City during our visit to Akihabara last year (full report here) ♥. What attracts me to take picture of this image is that "Finger Inside" logo instead of "Intel Inside" ♥. Never seen her before, anyone recognize her ? She looks very kawaii indeed ♥. I assume that she's an Eroge character (the eyes drawing style reminds me of a particular Eroge Company but I cant recall) ♥.

♥ Questions: How many of you think ecchi thoughts when you see this image with that "Finger Inside" written on it ? :p

♥ { HELLO KITTY MAC COSMETIC }

I just found out this collaboration between MAC Cosmetics & Hello Kitty ♥. Heard that it costs more or less around $1000 ($1,1790.50) for the whole thing ♥.

It's amazing how much they can collaborate with some others famous urban vinyl / designer toys characters like Fafi previously too ♥.

For ladies (or anyone else) who are fan of these 2D characters out there, will you spend money to buy cosmetic or any other product which collaborate with your favourite characters ? ♥. If yes, will you keep them for collectibles or will use them? ♥.

♥ { LIVING COST IN TOKYO }

Since I have interest & plan to live in Tokyo someday, I checked it online to know how much it averagely costs to live there if you mix together all the bills from rent, electricity, telephone, gas, internet, foods/drinks, etc ♥.

Then, I found this a very quite useful video from YouTube which is regarding the Living Cost in Tokyo by TokyoCooney ♥.

So It seems that Tokyo is surely an expensive & costly city to live but then again it's all depend on your income, outcome & living place too ♥. Hopefully this blog post helps to share info for anyone who stumbled upon my blog & plan / interested to live in Tokyo someday like me, teehee ♥.

♥ { HELLO KITTY PLAYS GUITAR }

When I was browsing in YouTube, I found this Lisa Loeb Underdog music video ♥. Then there's 2 things that I just found out in this video which makes me speechless ♥.

Firstly, it's the baby-pinkish kitchen that I always dreamed / wished to have (well, I prefer in black & hot pink though) ♥. Secondly, when the Hello Kitty start playing guitar is just make me so speechless (it's kinda ridiculous & a bit cute in a way) ♥. Well, anyway the song isnt bad either though ♥.

♥ { FAVOURITE JAPANESE DRINK }

Before I was going to Japan, my favourite japanese drink was only Green Tea Leaf type (お茶 / Ocha) & Green Tea Powder type (抹茶 / Matcha) ♥. I've been loving Green Tea since my 1st visit to a Japanese Restaurant a super very long time ago (cant remember when & where) ♥. But I dont really fancy Green Tea drinks with sugar like Pokka Green Tea (drinking this everyday can really makes you gain weight !!! it happened to me) & other bottled-drink brands though ♥.

あたしのあたらしいいちばんすきのみもの~ ♥.
And this is my new japanese drink favourite ♥.

It's Kirin Afternoon Royal Milk Tea ♥ ♥ ♥. Anyone who love it too ? ♥. It has totally different unique quality taste & not as sweet as Pokka Premium Milk Tea or Milk Tea from hawker / food centre ♥. I only like Milk Tea when they actually use certain tea leaf or tea type, though ♥. There's also another similarJapanese bottle Royal Milk Tea brand but I cant remember the name (definitely not Kirin & not as good as Kirin either) ♥. Anyway, I still buy it once in a while in certain Japanese supermarket in Singapore, but its more expensive (doubled price) than if you buy it in Japan, sigh :(

So do you have / what is your favourite japanese drink ? ♥.
いちばんすきのみものがありますか ? ♥.

♥ { OTAKU TOMODACHI }

I do have a few & most of them are met through online like forum, communities, websites, chatroom, etc ♥. Most of my OTAKU friends are probably guys / males since I like to watch almost all type of anime including エッチ or しょうじょーあい & also love to play anime-related games especially dating-simulation type (except for やおい, I dont like しょうねんーあい at all. きらいからです。). But despite all this, just to let you know that I'm still straight & prefer female-male relationship in real life, haha ♥.

Most of my friends that I've met through real life are females / girls & they are more into Mangas than Anime ♥. Well, some of them do watch Anime but not as much as me probably ♥. じゃ、あなたもおたくともだちがいますか？(So, do you have Otaku friends too?).

♥ { MISTER DONUT }

Do you know about Mister Donut ? ♥. It's probably the most famous & kawaiiest / cutest donut franchise in Japan ♥. I didnt manage to find & eat it when me & Hubby were in Tokyo last October, perharps cuz we didnt see / pass by any of the branches / stores, boohoo :( *mumbles* Too bad they dont have any branches in Singapore though.

Anyway, I found some very cute videos of Mister Donut advertisements :

Any of you ever eat Mister Donut before ? ♥.

♥ { DOMO KITTY }

I found this very interesting fusion product named Domo Kitty, its a mixture of 2 very popular Japanese Character: Domo-kun & Hello Kitty ♥. At 1st glance, I thought this thing is produced for real, but it's actually a handmade ♥. It looks very interesting, kawaii & very unique !!! eventhough this is perharps the 1st time Hello Kitty goes nude / naked, lol ♥. This Domo Kitty is up for sale on eBay too ♥. Definitely will be a hunt for a huge fan of both Hello Kitty & Domo-kun since its the only one in the world ♥.

♥ { A STRAY CAT }

When I was at Indonesia, me & Hubby stayed at my 2nd house which wasnt fully completed yet (some parts still under development). The reason why we didnt stay at my 1st house cuz there's only 3 bedroom & all are fully occupied with my family, lol ♥.

The distance between these 2 houses are very near though, only 5 minutes walk ♥. But this 2nd house was actually built to be a guest house in the future when it's completed (idea from my dad) ♥. The concept of this house design isnt modern but instead those villa on mountains type (eventhough its located in the city) ♥.

So most probably when it's ready for business, folks who interested to stay in this house while visiting Indonesia can contact me, lol ♥. Heard that my dad will include indonesian breakfast & dinner homecooking plus driver to bring you around the city too ♥.

So most probably when it's ready for business, folks who interested to stay in this house while visiting Indonesia can contact me, lol ♥. Oh yeah, I found a stray cat around the house in the morning, very cute ♥.

Was a bit scared when it saw me for 1st time but after I gave it a bread I got for our snacks during the flight & ate it, its not so scared towards me anymore ♥.

I'm used to deal with lots of stray cats when I was young & still in Indonesia, used to have 12 stray cats in my neighbourhood as my own cats, lol ♥. They always come out whenever I call them for food ♥. And they only come out when they hear my voice only tee-hee ♥.

Missing my 12 stray cats though :( most of them are already gone since no one taking care of them / giving them food other than me. Too bad in Singapore it's not easy to find stray cats (atleast around my living area), most of them probably taken to SPCA or Cat Welfare Society.

Is there any stray cats around your neighbourhood ? ♥.

♥ { 2 DAYS IN JAKARTA }

Yesterday / last weekends we went to Jakarta (Indonesia's Central City), my birthplace / hometown for a visit ♥. Hubby went with me too, we had dinner at my Grandfather's house too ♥. We also went to the new shopping mall near my house, "Pejaten Village Mall" which only takes around 5 minutes by car from my home ♥.

Went to the new supermarket owned by Matahari Department store, Indonesia's local brand department store ♥. Looks very huge & Carrefour-look-alike, but the color reminds me of IKEA somehow, lol ♥.

My new favourite drinks in Indonesia, yummy ♥. Then after lunch, me & Hubby went to Matahari Department store to shop clothing ♥ (since it's been quite a while we havent buy anymore clothing in singapore). We got 2 jeans, 1 short pants, 2 white t-shirt, 3 clothes for total $100 SGD only ♥ (for that quality is quite cheap). Definitely coming back here again in the future if we need to buy more clothing ♥.

Then we went to relax in a cafe ♥.

We never heard this cafe before but it looks like Indonesia's local brand too, price of drinks are range from $3.00 - $5.00 SGD only (mostly are coffee though) ♥. Hubby said that his mocha latte coffee taste as good as Starbucks, lol ♥. Since I cant drink coffee cuz I'm not used to it, I went to the foodcourt nearby the cafe to get some drinks & found Green Tea Ice Blended which cost only $2.50 SGD & it tastes so wonderful !!! as good as Starbucks' too ♥.

Some shot on the balcony outside the foodcourt ♥.
Have you ever been to Jakarta / Indonesia ?
♥ If yes, where did you go & what place you like the most ?
♥ If not, are you planning to go in the future & where ?

♥ { ALICE & JAPANESE PASTA }

Today I went down to Sunshine Plaza to pre-order the latest Yoko figure (by GIFT) at KKnM ♥. Then after I pre-ordered it, I saw something that I never seen before & it just looks so awesome ♥, which is this one:

Well, this isnt exactly what I see cuz it's inside the box / packaging itself though ^^; just took the picture from here as reference ♥. It was a limited edition ALTER 1/8 Gate Opener Alice "Boost" ver. PVC & its reserved by someone. It cost around $160+ SGD in KKnM & then when I went to Ani-play, I saw it (should be available though). But it cost higher, like around $ 170+ SGD i think. Was wondering wether it's worth to buy cuz the pose is super nice (I love figures with some 'movement') but I personally dont like the dress cuz it's just weird ^^; lol.

My hubby said "Why the heck you wanna buy a $160 SGD figure of female with black lingerie & a whip who look like S&M fetish figure ?". That is so true, ROFL LOL LMAO ♥. She doesnt even wear a pants or bottom ^^; but still, I love her pose / movement there ♥.

Anyway, tonight dinner we will cook pasta with some yummy japanese pasta sauce I bought on ISETAN supermarket @ Orchard ♥. They're not cheap though, each of them cost around $ 3.90 SGD for a small quantity.

Since we put seafood like squid, crabstick & fishball in our pasta, we realized that 1 pack of sauce isnt enough (yeah, that's how SMALL the quantity of the sauce). Unless, we just eat ONLY the pasta (nothing else in it) then we can put the sauce (I guess that's how it should on the instruction behind the pack ^^; but who will get full by just eating ONLY pasta with nothing in it ? really dont get it). So we used 1 whole pack for each of our pasta ♥.

And ta-da !!! the picture above is my pasta with Cod Roe sauce sprankled with seaweed ♥ (hubby with Spicy Cod Roe sauce). It tastes EXACTLY like those Japanese Cod Roe Pasta in Japanese restaurants !!! ♥ ♥ ♥. OMG, I swear to God & myself that I wont eat Japanese Cod Roe Pasta which cost more than $10++ SGD in those restaurant anymore. It's better & much cheaper to make at home, tee-hee. Seriously, why pay more for the same taste when you can get cheaper ? ♥.

So, have you try to cook Japanese foods at home ? ♥.

♥ { プレゼント / PURESENTO }

Just an update of the things I got on my birthday which are mostly are from my Him.

My most favorite "movable-by-light-toy" ♥. The head of Gloomy Bear will shake if a sunlight or any light hit on the censor. I had several toys this type (Lucky Cat, Owl, Plant). They're just too cute / かわいい to resist !!! Especially if it's Gloomy Bear ♥.

Very irresistible & super nekoism of a Page-A-Day calendar. Means that you change the page every single day cuz it has different photos of cats on each day, definitely for a cat-lover like me ♥.

New ALTER figure added to our collection. Was trying to complete this series figurines from a game by Nitro+ ♥. Got this one at a very good price from Rapid Culture on my previous blog post ♥. Hmm, eventhough I'm a 23 years old おばさん, I feel that inside of me is still a kid ^^; lol ♥.

♥ { 23 YEARS OLD IN SINGAPORE }

Today is my birthday which makes me into a 23 years old lady ♥. Hubby took today off just to spend the whole day with me, lovely isnt it ?! tee-hee ♥. So we were planning to go to Hanabi @ Odeon Tower to have lunch buffet ♥ (went there once on our anniversary before for dinner, it was fabulous).

Here are some food photos that we ordered :

Edamame is always been my one & only favourite snack ♥, too bad its quite costly to buy in some local supermarket. The Jellyfish isnt bad either, but too sweet for me.

This Yakiniku Beef is very similar like the Matsuya or Yoshinoya beef we had in Japan, とっても おいしい ♥. We even ordered it twice, lol ♥.

A skewer platter, とっても おいしい ♥. I love the fish & the shiitake mushroom !!! the yakitori (chicken) is a bit too sweet but isnt bad either ♥.

His kare-raisu / curry rice / カレーライス ♥. It's a sweet curry type one.

We actually ordered more dish like miso soup, agedashi tofu, sashimi, etc. But I forgot to take picture of them ^^; pardon me, lol. Anyway, it was a satisfying lunch ♥ eventhough they serve very small portion of everything. I guess it's to avoid customer to not finish the food, they have to charge extra (like around $5 SGD ? cant remember) if there's extra foods left since it's buffet system. So after we ate lunch, we went to Kinokuniya @ Takashimaya in Orchard before we catch a movie while I'm eating lychee Azabu Sabo Ice-cream like usual, I never get enough of their delicious Ice-cream !!! ♥.

We watched Twilight at Cathay Cineleisure ♥. Was suprised that it's pretty crowded with teenager kids cuz when we book the ticket online all seats are empty & available. The movie is okay only, not so bad but not so good either just a so-so & definitely not gonna watch it the 2nd time (some parts are just boring). After a movie, we decided to talk a window-shopping a bit.

We went to Rapid Culture located in Cineleisure & going out from there with a figure ♥. Will post about it later on, tee-hee ♥. Then we went to The Heeren for a walk. Some pictures on the new upgraded basement floor of The Heeren ~

We saw Shokudo in here & decided to have dinner there ♥. We used to go to the ones in Raffles City, but this one seems bigger & more variety of foods compare to the one in Raffles City.

Those who never eat @ Shokudo, it's actually just like Marche where you got a card to swapped when you order a food / drink in a stall & then they will check how much is your total bill by swapping the card in the cashier ♥.

The greatest thing about a Japanese Restaurant is that they always show the foods on display so that you know exactly how are the food looks like in real (not only pictures).

These are the foods we ordered though:

♥ Yummy pumpkin soup ♥

♥ My (very fatty) Baked Beef Curry Rice with Cheese ♥

♥ His Fish Katsu Curry Rice / カレーライス ♥

The Pumpkin Soup was very tasy, also the sinful & fatty Baked Beef Curry Rice with Cheese was very delicious !!! but that will be the 1st & last time I'll eat that ^^; cant eat too much fatty food, gotta control my healthy eating style, lol ♥. Oh, this is a very nice drawing on the wall nearby where the cashiers are, didnt manage to take the whole picture though ♥.

Any of you ever been to Shokudo ?

♥ If not, are you interested / planning to go there ?
♥ If yes, what did you eat over there ?

Me & Hubby are regular customer of Shokudo, their food is quite authentic & affordable compare to other Japanese restaurants in Singapore ♥.

♥ { HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009 }

♥ Happy New Year 2009 !!! ♥ 新年明けましておめでとうございます !!!. Wish everyone all the best, blessings & happiness for the new days in this brand new year ♥. Sorry for the lack of updating this blog, was busy with taking photograph of my unwanted items & edited them in Adobe Photoshop CS3 & then put them up on the web & some other classified forums for my wardrobe / garage clearance online sales ^^; got too many craps at home to get rid of.

But dont worry, all the previous post are in my draft folder so I'll put them up once I got the chance to do it. Anyway, last night me & my hubby just stayed at home by cleaning the house then cooking dinner ourselves while watching Japanese Dorama, Kimi Wa Petto / きみはペット & after that we played games in our consoles like how we always do on usual days, nothing special though cuz we dont do any celebration of new year 2009 like everyone else did (we're not really 'Party Animals' either). We didnt even want to go out to see any event, place or fireworks cuz we know it will be damn too crowded outside (we truly hate too crowded noisy place).

To be honest, I found that the Japanese's way of celebrating New Year (Hatsumode) is more appropriate rather than some people who use the "New Year Celebration" as an excuse for making another some random party to have sex & go wild, no offense for those who does that but I personally think it's a really sad way to celebrate.

So, how do you celebrate this New Year ? ♥.
