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… (．_．;)
Cute nephew
Today is Lunar new year eve (Chinese Singaporean celebrate lunar new year). In this day, everyone will try to gather for the reunion dinner. For my family, we don’t get to gather frequent together because some of us are staying overseas. Its being few years since we last made a full gatherings and I actually enjoyed!
To enhance the Chinese New Year mood, these photos were taken at Ameyoko near to the period of New year. Ameyoko is best known for its bargain of fresh seafood and dried food. The place is not only popular among tourists but also locals. Doesn’t these seafood look delicious?
“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.
My second part collection for the sale.
I hereby declare that my winter sales for this year ends here (^_-)
Wardrobe addition II
I had turned into a zombie during sale period, after consecutive days of shopping… And who claims that shopping relieves stress?
Sale in Tokyo are really tempting. Lots of worthy finds with good bargains that you can’t possibly turn your head away from no matter how hard you try. Buying more than intended becomes a repeating process as usual. It has always set me wondering why females love shopping so much.
My collection on first part of the sale. Safe! At least there are no redundant buys.

Happy New Year everyone! Hope that Year 2012 will be a good and fruitful year.
This year is the dragon year. The ornament shown in the picture was bought from Kamakura’s Hasedera when I went sightseeing. For this full one year, it will be sitting right on my office table.
Every year as it is, New Year in tokyo is extremely quiet. Most people take this chance to go home for vacation. And MY only leisure will be — SHOPPING!
SALE, BARGAINS begins from 1st-Jan. I actually enjoy New Year’s day in Tokyo every year
o(^-^)o
Here I come, SALE ≡≡≡ﾍ(*–)ﾉ
According to the Chinese Zodiac, Year 2011 is the year of the rabbit.
How time flies… Today is the last day of Year 2011. In just a few hours time，the rabbit ornament that has been lying in my office for the past one year has to make way for the dragon.
Mr. Rabbit will be cleaned, wrapped and kept where previous animals that had completed their jobs are currently housed. He reminds me that I am going to be an year older again (;_;)
Goodbye，Year 2011…
Mirror shape rice cakes make their appearances near to New Year. These rice cakes which usually come in two-tiers are considered to be an offering item to god during the New Year. To the Japanese people, 28-Dec is an auspicious day to display the mirror rice cake.
Designs to include ornaments of oranges, Japanese beckoning cat (Maneki Neko), representative animal of the Year (following the Chinese astrology of 12 Zodiac animals) sitting on top of the rice cake is fast becoming a standard. This culture most probably rings a bell. Do not be surprised that actually, occasional parts of Japanese cultures are identical to that of Chinese ones.
After some considerations, I opted for the Japanese beckoning cat which is largely believed to bring good luck. ‘MONEY MONEY MONEY’ — I want to strike lottery ($ $)!
Currently residing in Kamakura’s Hasedera temple is the famous stone statue of children’s guardian deity. It enjoys popularity because of its cute, smiling face.
Do you know what are the representative souvenirs in Kenya?
I received a paperweight today.
Most probably, you can’t tell from these pictures, they are made of stone and are quite heavy.
Sort of love the bright color when the cover stays shut.
And when you try to open the cover….. Oh, is this supposed to be interesting?
I am truly sorry to sound sarcastic. This is supposed to be a souvenir and I should show my appreciation m(＿ ＿)m
