Added a new friend to my owl collection! Isn’t the Japanese print pretty! I’m just wondering what am I going to do with all these owls when I ran out of space. These owls cheer me up every morning when I put on my makeup at my dressing table! It makes me happy but it is a whole bunch of clutter!

I took tons of pictures in Japan and will probably not upload every single one of them, but I will upload them randomly whenever I can. I came across this little shop at Dotonbori, Osaka. Isn’t it cute!

Fish Off

My latest addiction! Fish Off, a free game app which is highly competitive and addictive. It is works like “Bejeweled” just that it involves fishes, fish bowl and a real online competitor. The bad? You need a stable internet connection. My husband is complaining who introduce this game to me that took his wife away. Haha.

Dotonbori, Osaka

If you are in Osaka, you must visit Dotonbori! It is the best shopping street and dining street! (not that I’ve seen all the streets in Osaka but I love it!) You can probably spend the whole day there and end the night with lovely pictures with the neon signs! It is way way bigger than I expected. The Glico man is HUGE. I love how neon signs create that festive and cheery look! Miss those in Broadway, New York!

Singapore Art Festival 2012

Last Sunday we had a date night Sunday at the Singapore Art Festival 2012 and we watched the most precious and captivating free performance ever! Flux caught the hearts of many audiences. Flux,a theatrical performance by French group Theatre du Centaure, tells the story of a mythical creature, the centaure – a half human, half horse creature – which lives among us. The way the performer and the horse dance in sync is so magical that it made us felt like we were in a Disney movie! Love that it was originally presented at the man-made ranch and later, when the mystical creature reappears at the river, the performance is moved to the floating stage.

Thereafter, we went to listen to some lovely music performance by our local acoustic duo Kim + Sarah. I like Sarah’s voice!

In the past during our dating days, Jason and I often hangout at Esplanade listening to free music performance and while listening to Kim + Sarah, they reminded us of that fuzzy feeling we had back in those days. It’s hard to perform in front of live audience and it’s even harder to sing it well and I’m glad they did both just right. Haha. Do head over to Singapore Arts Festival this weekend! Date night doesn’t have to be expensive! Some great things come free too! Heh.

Toy Catcher Machine in Japan

We walk passed an arcade at Umeda, Osaka filled with toy catcher machines and here are some funny ones! They allow customers to catch live puffer fish, mini fans, snacks and toys! Insane

Our good neighbor gave us black pepper crab and chilli crab! I love generous neighbors!

Curry Rice ordered via Vending machine

Such eating place using vending machine for order taking and payment is common in Japan! We ate this during one of the highway stop over and were given 15 minutes to finish our lunch. We ordered, paid and ate within 15 mins! The best thing? It tasted great! Love Japanese rice and Japanese beef curry on pork cutlet!
