Sorry I can’t update as frequently as before. I’m getting into a new routine of waking up at 630am (snoozing till almost 7am) and ending the day before 6pm. I hate bathing and washing my hair at night and I don’t blow dry. Finally collected my sewing machine and I hope to finish up the pouch for my dear sister and also wrap up the tutorial. The only indulgence I have is updating my pouppeegirl and trying to complete Professor Layton on my DS.
With a new job = higher financial power = lemmings.

I’ll buy the Yone x Cheki if anybody wants to buy my 2nd hand instax mini 25 for US$70. Maybe I’ll list it on eBay when I’m free.
Last week, I collected my hubby’s new Nokia 6110 Navigator before I travelled to JB alone! It’s a phone with quirky GPS functions and voice guidance, the caller’s name will be read out when the phone rings too! It was my first time going to JB alone and it was quite an adventure going in at night. It was pouring and I made a new friend, we walked to the Singapore customs because the bus was caught in a terrible jam. It took me 3 hours to finally reach the JB customs.
No luck with the Isetan sale; I bought two bras, a P&J special edition lipstick (055) and a Ralph Lauren shirt only. The P&J lipstick wasn’t even on discount and there was only a measely 10% for the shirt.
Whilst flashing my mobile at the SE service centre, I came across the Sony T2. An extremely captivating advertising campaign that sent my heart aflutter! I can’t find any excuses reasons to get it since my old T3 is still serving me well. I fiddled with the touch screen T2 with face and smile recognition with no subject to try out the functions, the 
is very bulky considering today’s technologies, but love is blind. 
Was doing some research for what to wear to work and I came across these two very useful articles from Lifescript.com that I thought I’d share:

Alright, to wrap up this long entry of randomness, I’d like to tell you that I also bought the day and night eye creams from Kawaii Tokyo. Let’s see if they work at the end of 15 days. 
Majolica Majorca in Japan
Majolica Majorca (MM) can be found everywhere in Japan because it’s a drugstore brand and there are plenty of drugstores (e.g. Matsumoto KiYoshi) in Japan. How I wish Singapore’s drugstores (aka pharmacies or Watson’s) carries MM instead of Silkygirl.
MM loot for my dearest sister in Washington, photo as promised!
My sis bought me a whole lot of stuff when she went to Hokkaido last year and didn’t get any for herself. This time, it’s the other way round! Now we both own a nice set of MM cosmetics! 
Don’t you just looove the glamorous packaging? I don’t really like their liquid pen liners because they’re too runny, the rest of the stuff are pretty good. The only stuff I haven’t tried are their foundations.
I also got my sister a funky black beaded bracelet from the temple for luck, and a pink one for mum.
Mich: Look forward to them flying over soon!
Korean goodies - Mushroom BB Cream & White Angel chocolates
My sister lugged back a bagful of skincare for me from Korea before Christmas, and I love them! I don’t usually buy Korean stuff because I’m a Japanese-supporter so this is a first!
Part of the loot included my favorite Aloe BB Cream from Skin Food, and I also got to try the Mushroom Multi Care BB Cream and Peach Sake Pore Minimizing Base. (Skin Food products are more than 25% cheaper in Korea compared to Singapore!) The Mushroom Multi Care BB Cream has a runnier consistency compared to Aloe BB Cream, thus the coverage is less. It also smells a little raw like greens. Same sunblock properties as Aloe BB Cream but with added whitening and anti-aging properties. The Peach Sake Serum made my skin flaky when I applied the BB cream over it has quite a strong scent, pore coverage wasn’t obvious, I prefer Ettusai’s Zero Pore Coat.
Read about my other BB Creams reviews in this post.
And there are these Happy House Design (Australia) designed, Korean white chocolates too!
I’ve got a lot of other masks and packs to try, will update as I use them.
可愛いのチョコ！
