Washi Tape Haul

I went to Raffles Shopping Centre yesterday and managed to only get 3 x Washi Tape (MT) which are limited edition. Watch it or Read it.

These are the ones I got.

Just when I thought I have great skills in controlling my expenditure, I went again today and Boy did I spend a lot!

My splurge...

These ones I've been eyeing for the longest time. They are not available in Singapore and I'm glad I could get hold of them this time. I've withheld getting them from Etsy for the longest time.

Below are photos of the tapes that I placed into my basket.

When I was at the cashier, I saw some 10 odd washi tapes and inquired on their price.

I was told that they aren't for sale and the only way I can get them is through their Gashapon Machines.

I spent a total of 20 bucks for these 8 x washi tapes from the machine and I managed to get 3 x prizes from these 8 x balls. Where there's a piece of kraft paper in the ball, you are entitled to select 1 x prize. In other words, you get to select from the 10 x odd washi tapes they have at the cashier.

These are the 3 x washi tapes from the cashier area which I was eyeing for.

Out of the 8 balls, I managed to get 3 which has kraft paper in it!

I prayed for it before I start inserting the token and turning the machine!

Thank God! Ha ha...

I'm glad I got what I want. There are a few designs which were out of stock.

Some Sanrio ones which I would LOVE getting hold of. I especially like the Melody ones...

Next time then...

Have a blessed Sunday Y'all!!!

November Haul - Takashimaya & A Dinner

So I met up with P yesterday for dinner and I've to hand her some Christmas cards. We went to an eatery at Far East.

Mee Goreng

Salad Prawn

Tofu Spinach

Other than the above, we also ordered a plate of rice, a cup of barley drink and a can drink.

All these for a mere $32.50. Magnificent!

Cheap and good. I love the tofu - So soft and nice.

The salad prawn was so-so. The Mee Goreng is good though the one from Still Road is still better.

Now, moving on to my little Takashimaya haul...

I got myself some My Melody & Hello Kitty stickers and a note pad of My Melody which I forgot to capture in the photos. Lots of Hello Kitty stuff but limited My Melody stuff. =(

Lastly, I got a Eeyore soft toy for myself and another for Chub Chub.

Eeyore happens to be my favorite toy! I just love how dumb and innocent he is.

One word - ADORABLE!

So that's my Monday... Oh ya! I went to Rise Hair Salon yesterday and I'm going to write about it in the next entry. Stay tuned...

November Haul - NCB & Paper Market

Life is good...

I got myself both a numeral and alphabet stamp set. I already have an alphabet stamp set but it's bigger than the one in this picture. The one in this picture - I like how small the alphabets are. They are good for planners. I'm looking for the numeral ones in the same size. Sadly, NCB ran out of stock for those so I guess I'll have to wait. I also got myself some Signo Slim Fit pens after watching Nadine's YouTube videos. She said that these write better than the Coleto ones. Personally, I find that there's not much difference. I have a few Coleto ones in 0.4 and these Slim Fit ones, I got them in 0.38. Both write fine to me and both aren't scratchy. I like them both!

I got these stickers which you can use to mark the dates on monthly layouts. These I got from Paper Market after seeing a picture of it on Ammerline's Instagram. They are really adorable! I got all the designs I could see!

Well, that's all for now...

Blessed Sunday!

Midori Traveler's Notebook

I went to Little Man yesterday and boy am I excited to share what I got with you! Take a look!

My very own Midori Traveler's Notebook in Passport size!

I'm using this to pen down my thoughts. I might also use this as my little 'wallet'. All I need is to add in a zipper insert to hold my dollars and coins. I will also need a kraft pocket insert so I can stuff receipts on the go. Lastly, I need to have a monthly notebook so I can track my schedule. ^^ At this moment, it's filled with 01 x lined notebook. I'm loving this Midori which I shall call him Blackie.

Other than 01 x lined notebook, I attached a pen loop and a little 'charm' which is actually Totoro's friend. I do not know his name so it shall be Mr. White. Not Walter White in Breaking Bad. I would never want that!

I also got notebooks for Midori Traveler's Notebook in Regular size. Though I do not have the regular size cover with me, I'm going to get it when the stock comes in hopefully end Nov.

I also got myself more lined notebooks for Blackie. Blackie originally comes with 01 x blank notebook which I'll include it in when the connecting bands arrive.

Well, I'm really excited! I've started using Blackie and I LOVE it! I love the size, love the smell, love everything about it! Goodbye Finsburies for now...

Come end Nov or probably early Dec, I'm going to get the following for my Regular Size Midori:

05 x Grid Notebooks

01 x Zipper Insert

01 x Kraft Pocket Insert

01 x Namecard Insert

01 set of Pockets

01 x Connecting Bands

01 x Pen Loop

Well, I'm going to add all the above into my Regular Midori including 01 x lined notebook. I shall be using it for Business and BSF. I'll only put 01 x grid notebook in though.

For Blackie, I'm going to get the following:

01 x Zipper Insert

01 x Kraft Pocket Insert

01 x Connecting Bands

I guess that's all for now...

I hope your Sunday has been great thus far...

Sunday, 09.11.2014

It was a fulfilling Sunday for me.

We went for lunch at Brotzeit after church.
No photos here as I almost eat the same stuff everytime I go there.
I had french onion soup as my starter & spicy sausages as my main.
I did however change my mash potato for my main, to caramelized onion. I luuurrrvvveee caramelized onion! Yum yum...

I bought a small packet of popcorn in Corn Cheese from Garrett for myself and a small packet of Corn Cheese with Caramel Crisp for First Born.

After lunch, we went to Smiggle where I got J to buy me a small 'pouch' which I'll use to put my stationery. Love it! First Born got something which he will attach on his wallet.

Thereafter, we went to MUJI where I got quite a few items, mainly food.
I got a couple of beverages and some snacks.
I also got a packet of Curry Chicken for J to try. He loves Japanese Curry Rice...

Last stop - kiki.K!
I didn't get much for myself except for a couple of diary stickers.
First Born got a journal, a pen and refills for that.

Speaking of diary stickers, I'm thinking of getting a Midori Traveler's Notebook for myself to kick start Year 2015. After doing much research, I decided to go with the Midori instead of so many faux Midori in the market. Frankly speaking, the cover ain't cheap to begin with but I found a place in Singapore which sells it! Meaning, I don't have to pay for shipment and most importantly, I don't have to wait for it to arrive! Go google Little Man and you'll find the store. It's located at 7C Binjai Park, Singapore 589821. I gave them a call (T: 6464 6515) and was told that the covers for regular size will arrive end Nov, early Dec. Great timing for a b'day gift for myself! ^^ It cost around SGD68 for a regular size and SGD52.50 for a passport size.

I'm feeling really excited...

Have a great mid-week!!!
