Seoul & Frisco Again

I have been shopping too much. Especially on this trip to Seoul and Sans Francisco. I ate too much too. Too much spicy Korean food in Seoul. So much that I am still recovering from tonsillitis, loss of voice and cough. No regrets though!
Partied too hard as well. Right after touch down from a 10+ hours flight, we had some Korean bbq with pork belly some Hite beer and we hit the club. Well... it was my birthday! And for the first time in my entire life, I shopped for 12hours straight. The malls in Dongdaemun closes at 0530! There are so many major malls there but we only managed to go to Migliore.

One of favorite piece so she deserve a solo shot. From UO.

My haul from Laneige. My colleague who bunked in with me in the hotel was using this Laneige foundation. The texture was light and sheer. I also wanted to try their makeup base. Skin Veil Base was the older one, the new release is Water Supreme Primer Base. They both come in 3 colors, Purple, Green and Skin tone. I got the purple one for radiant complexion (I'm a sucker for glowly skin.) and green to correct all the redness I have been getting around my cheek.

I don't know why I never stepped into Etude House in Singapore but I love to go to the Etude House in Seoul. I wonder if I can ever finish using all my lippies.

Also got the limited edition Mac Viva Glam Nicki. At the background, new blush from Benefit, Hervana. It is a purple-ish pink shade, like the box <3

Shall end this post with some sightseeing photos from Sans Francisco. I didn't just shop!

Outfit post in Tokyo

We visited Tokyo at the wrong time. There was typhoon warnings and it never stopped raining. Damn. Although we did enjoyed the trip, but I believe we would have visited more places if it wasn't for the rain. The weather was also cooler than we thought. Somehow, when the weather forecast predicted 24degree C, it just doesn't feel like it! I think it is just Tokyo. The last time when I was there for a flight, I under packed as well.

So, this is just a post on the outfits I wore for the trip.

Transiting in Hong Kong.

Took a short nap after checking in. Head out for dinner and some shopping near our hotel area in Shinjuku. Taken in Muji.

Waiting for the train in Shinjuku.

Finally, it was not raining. But the moment we stepped out of Uniqlo, it started to rain.

It got too chilly, and I ended up wearing another cardigan and a black leggings.

Finally, the typhoon left and the sky was clear and blue. But sadly, it was our last day as well.

Photo Diary

I have been away for a 7 days pattern flight and boy do I miss home. Things did not go well on the flight, traveling document was left in the hotel and I only realise it after I traveled 13hours away from it. Came back home ysterday, only to know my father lost my dog. Not having slept a wink from 0400, I rushed down to go search for him. Thank god, my father's tenant and I managed to find him.

Here are some favorite photos of mine from around Europe mostly.

Duomo in Milano


My friend caught this shot.


In a cafe in Switzerland.

These are taken in Venice.






Do you like them? I am feeling sick, coming down with flu and sore throat. Must be all the roast goose from Hong Kong. Yum!

Sights of Japan - Shinjuku, Harajuku, Shibuya.

My third and second last japan post. These pictures are taken in different parts of Tokyo. My last post will be on the purchases!

On the shuttle bus from our hotel(Hilton) to Shinjuku. I love how my friend managed to capture the raindrops on the window.





I did seek her permission before snaping her. After showing her the photo, she said she look so lonely and cold.
Entrance to Meji Shrine





Always wanted to take a photo with the loyal Hachiko!

OOTD

I cannot have enough of Japan so I booked 2 tickets to Tokyo again this September! This time on my annual leave and with the bf. Would love to visit the other parts of Japan but since this is the first time for the bf, we will hit Tokyo first.

Sights of Japan - Narita

My second Japan post. These photos were taken from Narita.

Ministop is a combini chain in Japan.

You can find wide selection and quantities of local magazines in Ministop.

I always end up getting a shock when I check out of their supermarket.

Matsumoto Kiyoshi is one of Japan's most popular pharmacy. It is HUGE. This is the only photo I took of in the store. They carry all the big brands like Shiseido, Kose, Kanebo and their sub brands.

At a park near the hotel.



Naritasan Temple.

Amulets for safe driving.

Hope you like this post!

Sights of Japan - Food Post

My traveling dream finally came true. I got rostered for a flight to Japan! It was a short stay. Less than a day in Narita. And arrived late in the evening at Tokyo, had only one full day, and checked out the next day evening. I tried to hit as many places as possible. I will do a post on FOOD today.

Grab dinner at Aeon Mall after arriving in hotel in Narita. Tempura!

Desserts and snacks from the Supermarket. I love their local Supermarket. I can spend hours there. Grab these in 15 mins flat.

Quick lunch bento from the combini just outside the hotel before heading to Los Angeles. Even food from convenience store taste so good!

Even the drinks that they are selling interest me.

So I hauled all these back. Hand carry.

All the food look so fresh!


Dinner at Denny's after arriving in Tokyo.



Lunch at Shinjuku. I wanted a soup base ramen but got a dry one instead. After mixing the sauces, it is pretty good.


My honest looking chef.

More snacks from another Supermarket in Tokyo.


Everything will taste absolute yum in Japan, I do not think I will ever find food that is not tasty. Except probably raw octopus of sorts which I do not know how to appreciate. Of everything I had, I think Denny's was the only one that failed to impress. Denny's dessert however was nice.
