Our loft! Completed the exterior walls. All blocks. All twelve levels. I heard the TOP will be early half 2011. OMG. I need a Save SbR’s Loft Fund!

Gotemba Premium Outlet offers international brands at discounted price and you will be glad to know that it is actually owned by U.S Chelsea Premium Outlet! But having said that, nothing beats Chelsea’s Woodsburry Premium Outlet! SIGH. I miss New York.

There are a couple of stores worth visiting – GAP, Banana Republic, Disney Store (for some cheap Tokyo Disneyland souvenirs!), Nike and Gucci just to name a few. If you are visiting Gotemba Premium Outlet, you have to visit my favourite store in the entire outlet – Franc Franc! Haha.

Franc Franc sells quirky and pretty household and decorative items! HAH. The store is so colorful and pretty if I can cart home all their stuffs I would! In the end only we only brought home a polar bear from the outlet. DUH right? HAH.

Look how colorful the store is!

P1020252

I wanted one of these for my dressing room but he thinks it’s not practical. HMPH. The downside of dating an engineer. HAH. I love you baby!

P1020254

Look at these pretty wall clocks! It doesn’t fit our intended Scandinavian-New Yorker loft theme, otherwise I’ll surely hug one of these home!

P1020255

Random Knick Knacks! Have you spotted our polar bear?! HAH.

P1020256

This polar bear looks, feels and smells Scandinavian! I just had to get one! I had to convince him to lug this heavy brick back! He wanted the blue one but with my huge and blinking eyes, I told him I prefer the white one. HAH. The white one it is! Welcome to our family Polar Bear!

We love show flat visiting! It gives us inspiration for our future home! This time we went to The Shore! Expensive piece of land but so awesome!

I love the side table. Saves space and so pretty!

Picture 005

This blind will be good for our balcony and bathroom!

Picture 006

He loves this feature wall. But it will cost us an arm and leg. Boo.

Picture 007

He likes the chair but I thought it looks really familiar.

Picture 012

He thinks these lights are cool! I think so too!

Picture 013

He likes the colour combi. Earthy Beige, opulent gold and basic black and white . HAH.

Picture 009

Matching lamps! The curtains are a pretty sight.

Picture 008

Pretty pretty!

A while back, my sister introduced That’s Chic‘s blog and I love it! Not just for her fashion inspiration but also her décor inspiration. Love it.

study room

This is going to be our study room. Simple, functional and a little messy. HAH.

We walked from Harajuku to Shibuya and saw lots of funny stuff along the way! You’ll see later!

749

We tried this at along the way and I prefer the ones from Orchard Ion! It’s from the same chain but it’s way crispier!

759

We walked past a store that sells nothing but boxer briefs (Apparently Japanese men love these!) and they had these rotating butts at their window display! HAHA.

769

I love shopping at The Loft! Their stuffs are all so adorable!

763

I wanted to get CW one of these but it was so expensive! Boo. It’s the thought that counts right!

766

We were at the toy camera section and found some accessories which my down-to-earth camera adores!

764

We found his family! HAHA. It’s supposed to be a private joke but I’m going to share it here with my SbR readers! When my sister first met him, she thought he actually looks like a frog! (She’s good at associating my friends with animals! HAHA. She once called my friend a Mouse deer. -_- ) So this nickname stuck with him for the longest time. More than 4 years actually. HAH.

767

He said he can make this lamp for my dressing room so I’m filing this picture here for the record. HAH.

816

Japanese are crazy about this pinball shooting game.

782

I found the bicycle of my dream! It’s white. The leather seats and handle are too sexy to resist. The frame. Ooo. It’s a mere SGD 300. You will never find such a pretty at this price in Singapore. I almost wanted to buy it. Get the bicycle shop owner to rip it apart and put it in a box. But he knocked some sense into my head, “Are you sure you want to carry this to Disneyland?”. HMPH.

779

Even shoes in Japan goes all happy and bright!

774

Japanese takes product promotion too “seriously” (Part II).

778

I told you so. They take product promotion too “seriously” (Part III).

820

I met Hachiko at Shibuya! I can’t wait to get my own pup when our place is here.

824

We entered a random shop (Not the famous AV shop) and found a sexy butt! HAH. Guess what!

825

She’s wearing a Thong. Ouch!

826

Guess what’s this!

827

It’s a condom! Weird shit! Why does the Japanese need branded rubber?!

He wants this at our place. I love it too. But it’s from the states. Tongz, do you think you can carry a chair back to SIN? HAH.

I was visiting his cousin’s brand new place and we realized that apartments in Singapore look too alike. It’s saddening. There are no longer personal styles, themes or creative spaces to talk about anymore. It’s usually a living space with a dining table, a nice lamp on top of the table, a sofa at the side, a TV console in front of the sofa and a feature wall or wall paper display behind the TV and all these usually comes in black/white/grey.

I want a Scandinavian – New Yorker Loft look.

I like Lady Melbourne’s lounge room. Even though the colours are mainly black/white/earth, it has a personal touch to it. I love it.

We stumbled upon this shop at Cineleisure and thought the Scandinavian-inspired decor was pretty nice. We would like to see this in our loft! Hee.

I love this teardrop doll! Really cute!

Burger Bench and Bar
Cathay Cineleisure Orchard #01-02

I was at B3 (Burger Bench and Bar) and their burgers are awesome! B3 is created by the same chef-owner Willin Low who created Wildrocket and Relish. Their burger patties are all hand-made, without preservatives and not processed! It’s juicy and really really awesome! I love their black pepper burger (they’ve got a fancier name which I can’t remember)!

I love this side bar and I would want one of these for my balcony. My balcony can then be a nice “alfresco” bar to hold a liquid buffet party in the future! Hee.

We tried their dark chocolate soft ice cream and it was really good!
