Short weekend in Japan

It was a rather last minute thingy....we changed the destination from Bangkok to Osaka. :D bcoz Mr. JS would prefer the later. We were extremely lucky to secured tickets and hotel reservation but most of all restaurants reservations - all thanks to Mr. Butler from beloved St. Regis Hotel :))))

Of coz Doraemon can't be any happier, it was Raya and time to balik kampung with Chip and Dale tagging along with the rest of the hobbits and Kumamon!!!

The beauty of late night flight, u arrive early in the morning to watch the sunrise....38,000 feet above sea level :))) Be it to Japan or France, this flight time is just perfect. Fly in late night and arrive first thing in the morning for breakfast.

of coz we must have our inflight pre-breakfast of yogurt and freshly cut fruits and aromatics hot coffee.

 and the speciality of Malaysia Airlines - Nasi Lemak....*hiak hiak hiak*

 JS playfully placed the the half eaten bread this way....he said Mr. Bread wanna eat Nasi Lemak too. While I was bz chomping on my hot rice watching movies with headphones on. Trust me, in my very own phone, I do find unflattering pics of me either sleeping or chomping nom nom-ing in very unlady-liked manner. -_-"

Osaka has been great - as alwiz...just a short 4 days trip so I'll be posting soon bout some of the near places and restaurants that we went and also the usual favourites :)

Plus it was summer sale....so I can't imagine how cheap clothings could get in Japan.
Monkey: "Fifteen ringgit!!!! for a Uniqlo and GU!!!"
JS -_-" ok buy buy buy all u want

GU is a subsidiary brand of Uniqlo. :D
there's so many more SKUs in Japan with collaborations of different designers, even personalisation of your garments, if u wished. So your very own piece of Uniqlo is totally unique.

One for you, one for me...
one for you...and two for me.

JS: "Hey I saw that.....that's mine!!!"
Monkey tee hee hee heee......

Monkey: "JS!!! I can't pack no more....maybe u wanna hold on and stop buying....or we gonna miss our flight!!"

yeah this was at the airport at our boarding gate. Trying to squeeze in all our purchases into one single pull-along cabin size bag. It was futile. sigh....

 so on the way home, the usual satays...nothing fantastic.

But I really do love food prepared from the Japanese side of kitchen. U get umami laden rice and Sea Perch fish like this!!!

Okie folks, not many pics from this single posting...am keeping for separate postings :)))

and our stash this time....hmmmm yum yum yum

Monkey: "This one mine ok? I m giving to who and who."
JS: "I bought this one, so it's mine OK?"

Monkey: "OK, but then this and this and this are mine ok?"
JS: "I got these for my office, so this one here and that one there...are mine OK?"

so within 30 minutes, all our stash were packed into individual bags for friends...Gone. Fair and Square. Hehehehehehe..I think it's becoming a fetish now to do this. So wait up for more postings to come :)))

My fav piece of Uniqlo

Uniqlo will finally opens its doors on 4th November in Fahrenheit 88, Jalan Bukit Bintang
*ex KL Plaza*
like after 14 months Singapore has got its own outlet(s)??

Uniqlo Malaysia will be a joint venture with DNP clothing
who also runs Topshop, Miss Selfridges bla bla bla

so at least u ppl dun have to guess anymore...

I m still keeping my fingers crossed for H&M
but according to the CEO of H&M there won't be any plans at all for the moment
they are looking into bigger market such as middle east and China
:(((((((((((((

Uniqlo is famous for its winter wear
high quality materials and most of all its price!!!!
I just lurve its japanese soft cotton

Monkey has a few pieces of Uniqlo here n there
fr homewear, innerwear, sleepwear, fleece *one of my favourite*
and of coz my most prized piece of Uniqlo is the Premium Down Jacket
:)))))))))
*so soft like my Chanel Cocoon....*

:)))))))))))))
u can tell how comfy it is fr the pic

comes with lil hood which is detachable....just unzip it
and faux fur which is also detachable...
so u have a few ways to wear this...

with hood or without
with hood and faux fur and without

the premium down is also super lightweight
makes it so easy to carry around esp when u r traveling during the winter
u dun wanna be lugging a heavy winter jacket  plus peripherals and bags

and for Monkey apart fr serving its purpose of keeping me extremely warm
most importantly it has to look good
*hiak hiak hiak*

Some Down Jacket makes ppl looked like over stuffed buns :P

hahahahahaha

yes it's extremely warm...I just need to wear one piece of clothing inside :P
and I chose white then coz everyone wears grey/black/dark colors during winter...
this is easier for JS to identify Monkey at crowded places...hihihihihihihi

am contemplating to get another one for this year end's trip

perhaps this color? :)

yep will get it in Singapore
Uniqlo Premium Down Jacket, retailing at SGD 199

Back to the opening at Fahrenheit 88, if u are one of the lucky few
for every purchase of RM 200 and above, u will receive this original Uniqlo Tote Bag
*Monkey has got one with Silver colored Alphabets but this one looks good too*

yeah and also if u r up to it
start queue-ing at the outlet before 11am for a chance to win 2 tickets to Tokyo
hmmmmmmmmm
it's all happening on 4th November!!!

I better stay away fr Bukit Bintang that day.....can almost feel the crowd coming
