No updating to blog till Mid May

Yes, I would not be posting any entry to my blog till mid May. I'm too busy preparing for my Japan trip (2 May till 10 May).
I am surprised at the number of items on our shopping list submitted by Z. It consists of burberry blue label bags/wallets, agnes B bag/wallet, even uniqlo t-shirts, legging from a certain harajuku shop, and some dunno what japan's sauce. But of course, i do not really mind helping them, as the fun in shopping is the process of buying things.
It would definitely be a shopping spree at tokyo like my last trip though this was not our original plan. It is a pity that the cherry blossom started to bloom a bit earlier this year, and by the time we reach Japan, the flowers should be all gone.

Uniqlo is coming to Singapore!!

Yes, Uniqlo is coming to Singapore. There have been a number of media coverage on this over the past few days in the newspapers, media coverages on TV. Its first store is open on 9th april at Tampines one. I was with my friends on this Friday at Tampines with the intention to visit the store, however we were surprised to see the long queue outside the store. Instead of waiting in the line like the rest, we decided to go to orchard to do some real shopping.

For those who are not aware of the background of this company. uniqlo is a japanese casual wear designer, manufacturer and retailer. It is a bit like giordano in Japan as their clothings are "affordable" for the mass. Comparing to giordano, their designs may be slightly better.
We have been to Japan Uniqlo stores at different parts of Tokyo. The one near takashimaya - shinjuku is like a warehouse sales with great discount - 3 for 1000 yen. While the one at harajuku is for the younger generation, it is like a convenience store for t-shirts. Each t-shirt style is displayed on a stainless steel display cases, with individual t-shirts packaged in clear plastic canisters resembling tennis ball cans (which i call them tubes).

It was a disappointment to me when I saw that the outlet at Tampines one is nothing like the one in Harajuku. Just hope that the next outlet opening in Orchard be something more appealing.

I quite like her dress and her tanned skin tone. I need to see more pics of her in her other two outfits before deciding whether to buy her or not. My fund is running low with the numbers of new releases over the past few months.
