Dear Malaysians....you do not need a Visa to enter Japan!!!

Fuji-san and Kawaguchi-ko

Slightly more than a month earlier: "Honey, let's go to Japan..."

Japan has always been my dream destination, so finally!!!!!! I was so happy I wanna cry o(^∀^*)o

As the flight booked was just about a week away, I was busy searching for hotels, planning itineraries, packing the luggage; completely forgotten about the travel documents!!

Not till the last few days before the flight, I suddenly thought of travel VISA....omg do we need Visa to enter Japan??? With less than a week away, even if we were to apply then, the approval and issuance could take some time!!

So I asked a few friends who have traveled to Japan recently...and what they told me was, "if your passport cover is hard-plastic sealed AND has the 'chip' logo on front cover then no need Visa..."

Which was god damn it the new Malaysian passport issued since 2 years ago I think...hb has no problem then coz he just renewed his passport, but what about me?? My passport was issued in January 2013, has the 'chip' logo BUT has no plastic seal whatsoever (￣□￣)  (I learnt later that the logo is actually the 'ICAO' logo lol)

The best of Pretzels at Pretz n' Beanz

Love Life. Love Coffee. Love Food.

These three little sentences, although short, is meaningful enough to what sets Pretz n' Beanz apart from normal café. Note that the logo is a blend of these three elements:

✿ Pretzel on the left

✿ Coffee Bean on the right

✿ The Chinese character "人" (pronounced as "ren", which means human)

The Pretzel and the Coffee Bean are tied together in a heart shape, which symbolizes the their love and passion for both pretzel and coffee. The Chinese character "人" expresses their love for human race, thus they serve people with love from their heart. And thus love life, love coffee, love food  (ღ˘⌣˘ღ)♥♥

I went to the Mont Kiara outlet on last Saturday noon (16 January 2016). Set amidst the trendy landscape of Solaris Mont Kiara, Pretz n' Beanz serves scrumptious, soft pretzels and freshly brewed coffee all day long, in a fun, trendy and cosy ambience. A trip to a good café always make me in a cheery mood -- the aroma of freshly baked pastries, the fragrance of freshly brewed coffee and tea, accompanied by delicious food and friendly crews.

And delightfully, Pretz n' Beanz has it all o(^∀^*)o

Elianto Nutri Mask for a quick skin pampering

Around Christmas in 2014, Elianto was having this giveaway campaign where you need to register in advance for a designated private shopping day, and upon minimum purchase, you'd get a free bag of gifts. Those were the days when I was crazy about gift with purchase promotions and thus off I went to buy 3 sets of facial mask sheets to make up to the minimum amount.

So I bought 30 masks at one go that day! I'm not sure how much each piece was sold individually, but the set that I bought was RM29.90 per set if not mistaken. And although it has been more than one year ago, only recently I started to use the masks haha ╮(─▽─)╭   I have used up one set, and I think the masks were great (◑∀◐)

So the mask box actually categorized the masks as "Nutri Mask". Not sure what does that mean, but I guessed it's "nutritious mask"? The Nutri Mask Sheet set is a collection of ten pieces of mask sheets made in Korea with different formulations that are nourishing and nutritious to the skin. With powerful botanical ingredients, the masks aim to boost the skin's energy and radiance level.

Happy New Year 2016 !! To a great, wonderful year ahead :D

It's the first day of the year! 

Wish you a wonderful great start o(^∀^*)o

I'm not going to write long on the first post of 2016...but I think it would be good to reflect on my previous 2 posts:

New Year 2014 and New Year 2015

Accept the past, 

Enjoy the present,

Embrace the future!

Happy New Year 2016! 

innisfree Green Christmas DIY Block Kit - one of my best Christmas gifts

innisfree Green Christmas promotions has kept me busy shopping for innisfree products, that trips to Paradigm Mall has become more frequent. All the Christmas sets were really attractive, especially and particularly the DIY Block Kit.

I have always like miniature and brick toys very much, since from very early age. I literally screamed out of joy when I knew innisfree would offer the pixel blocks as part of the Christmas promotions. Moreover, the sales from these pixel blocks would be channeled to charity...awesome right?
