I have been following 8Tokyo for some time. How to resist the inanely cute-ness of the Japanese goods and Japanese style showcased on this blog? If I was living in Tokyo right now, I would rush out to buy every little trinket, candy and food that they update their entries with.

Imagine my surprise when I saw that they were coming to Singapore and there was going to be a meet up. The magical words were kawaii Tokyo souvenirs. I wanted to meet the 8tokyo team, (afterall they sell tote bags) and I also wanted to receive KAWAII TOKYO SOUVENIRS! Alas, just one day and all the spots were taken up and there was no space for me. Would it be weird if I still went and then just stalked the meet up?

Today I tagged along to an interview. Slim interviewed a local drama artiste. One of the perks of this new job is meeting hot men (okay more like hot boys). Of course when meeting handsome hunkaburning loves, one feels extremely extremely unattractive. I never felt so conscious about my thighs. Now I know why the rest of the girls whip out their mirrors everytime they head out and put on their battle face. This is why.

Denise is in town currently. The globetrotter has finally laid her roots in her ‘hometown’ Jakarta. Although we rarely speak, she is always a breath of laidback fresh air. As she updated us about her hiking adventures in Hong Kong and her domestic based weekends in Indonesia, I wished very much to get to know her all over again and better.
