The cafe where we had the hello kitty coffee cups (Just opposite Le Tao Pastry branch)
The choices of cups.  You can have free flow of coffee, and you will be able to bring back the cup you used.

I got this hello kitty set

Lovely window seat in the cafe


The area where you can wash your own cups after you finished your coffee

What we had today...  

Love these crab balls

Lovvvveeeeeed this.  It's crab porridge.  Soooo goood.

The cashiers area at their convenience stores had this special platform for ladies to put our bags on while we search for our wallets during payment.  So thoughtful...

Upon returning to our room...we found that the housekeeping staff had placed my rabbit and bear together facing the TV. :)
What we bought at Hokkaido so far...those stacks of boxes you see are Shiroi Koibito Chocolates.

Batam & Japan here we come!!

I love July!

Going Batam for a short 3D2N trip (15/7 to 17/7) and then Japan (20/7 to 28/7).

The Japan trip was kinda unplanned, but since I saw an irresistible deal at the Singapore Airlines website (Total SGD1169.60 for 2 pax, Return tickets, prices inclusive of taxes and surcharges already!!) so I kinda dragged my hubby to go with me. :)
