Popular BB cream

BB (blemish balm) cream which is used as a base make or concealer is extremely popular in Japan. My pick will be Evangelist BB cream because of the high ratings it got in the base make up category (pickup from @cosme). The common positive reviews of users are:

  • looks natural after application
  • spreads and blend evenly on the face
  • the moisturizing component keeps the skin from going dry even after long hours
  • my pores are well-covered.
  • makeup stays fresh even after sometime.

Ratings: 4.8

Accident prevention

In Japan, train disruptions caused by passengers falling into the rail tracks are frequent. It can get into you especially when you are rushing for time.

I had a close shave too, the other day when I was heading for the airport on a flight back to Singapore. Just as I was settling comfortably into one of the seats, an announcement came. Imagine, the train will stop due to passenger falling into the track (*○*)!!

My brain went empty! I had a plane to catch! (@.@ ;;)
Not only me, in fact, the whole station was in chaos, flooded with people rushing to the staffs asking for other transport means and when the train is scheduled to start moving. Poor staffs! They need to handle all these.

Fortunately, I made it for my flight. But every time when such accidents happened, it had me wondering why railway companies in Japan though having such remarkable history and technologies, did not make efforts to take measures on repeated human accidents. Few stations have auto doors setup.

These pictures were taken from Singapore’s railway platform. At least they prevent such accidents from happening.

Mouton boot

An article about men’s opinion towards mouton boots.

Many women in Japan love mouton boots as they are not only easy on the feet, but fashionable and they keep the feet warm.

Guys have mixed feelings about mouton boots though. According to the site “Pouch”, below are what guys think about women wearing mouton boots.

    1. Are you an eskimo?
    2. They look like housekeeping slippers.
    3. What’s so special? Everyone’s wearing them.

In general, mouton boots seem not well received among guys in Japan .:*~*:.

Nephew

I finally got to meet up with my nephew for the first time, 18 months later after he was born. The picture probably won’t tell, but his size is very small for his age. Cheeky and naughty he is not only, but also irresistibly *CUTE*.

Unfortunately, he don’t take to people easily and I remained an “enemy” from Day 1 since we met. “Why?” remains a mystery… (._.;)

Commoner’s sushi

“Commoner’s sushi” from hometown. I was surprised that the varieties had increased over the years. In fact, more than that of sushi originator country, Japan. And price is cheap (ranging from 50 cents to about a dollar plus). Taste of the sushi is adjusted to suit the taste bud of locals. “Commoner’s sushi” seems enjoy popularity in Singapore.

However, in my personal opinion, Japan’s sushi remains the most delicious.
