JSR #24 Meiji Esseru Super Cup Vanilla & Chocolate Ice Cream + TOKIDOKI CIAO VACANZE!!!

So, today's PBL was ok ok. I went home as usual during lunch break. Had a small tub of Meiji's Vanilla Ice Cream for dessert. I think it's more like vanilla aero ice cream. It's very light, a bit like sorbet.

Price : RM6 each

Content : 200ml each tub

Found : Isetan KLCC

{ Almost half gone from the vanilla due to the journey it went through coming back home from KLCC. T-T I didn't know there were no inner coverings under the top lid. ^-^" }

Ok. So the main thing of this post.

The thing I'm dying to show you. :P

My tokidoki Ciao Vacanze hath finally arrivede! :D

I bought it from eBay seller; cozy-little-shop. The shop was listed under 'Real tokidoki Sellers' on the tokidoki Blog. On eBay at the time, the bag was the only one of its kind : a Vacanze Ciao.

I actually wanted a Vancanze Ciao Ciao (the larger messenger bag), and there was one on eBay, also by a 'real tokidoki seller'. The price is US$299, plus $28 shipping, with no insurance available. I really wanted the Ciao Ciao, but it just didn't feel right to purchase something so expensive without insuring it.

I got this Ciao for $179 + $30 shipping, insurance included. Blatantly, it's damn expensive, because the normal retail price is $120. T-T But the desire to have it was too much that it clouded any rationale to scout and wait for reasonable listings.

{ ♥ Don't ya just lurve the print? :D ♥ }

I couldn't believe I finally got one of these. :P I really would have regretted if I hadn't got this and it bought by someone else. ^-^" The shipping was super the fast one. The seller shipped out last Tuesday, and I got it the following Monday, which is today. Maklumlah, shipping was by 'Global Express', which takes 3 to 5 days, as described in the item listing.

There is another important detail to take note of. Authentic tokidoki bags have a 'Made in China' tag sewn to the inside of the bag. I forgot to take a photo of that. And also, there's a black and white stretch cord with a metal carabiner attached. And, the shoulder strap usually has 'LeSportsac' on it, and the strap itself has a sheen, like a car seat-belt. Here's another great guide to buying tokidoki for Lesportsac bags on eBay.

I'm hyper-ized just looking at the bag. :P It's definitely worth the $$. The feel of the bag is simply good. It has the weight of luxury, and it fits to the body like a second skin. :P The later phrase should be for apparel right? But the bag just gives me the feeling. :D

Next targets : Inferno and Paradiso! It's waaay past their release time already. T-T And I've to stock up my Paypal. I'm currently broke. T-T

Kawaii Bling Style + JSR #23 Strawberry Cream Koala Cookies

The past few days had been painfully loaded with stupid coursework. I can't imagine why they like to dump one type of super extra banyak mia thing to do in each sem. Last sem, it was stupid portfolios and stupid PSD sessions (from which I never learnt anything except to pretend to empathize with the patient when I just wanna shut him/her up by saying 'shadap la!'). This sem, it's 2 projects; making a health poster and make a plan on setting up a community pharmacy. Plus equal number of portfolios to do. As well as a new PBL topic each week.

Again, I fail to understand why LAH I'm doing this course. T-T

Even with no lab sessions this sem, the workload doesn't seem to lessen. Up till now, I barely managed to juggle revising lectures and doing portfolio. But with my plan to make a trip to KLCC today, I forced myself into a portfolio marathon starting Friday night. Suprisingly, I finished off one portfolio - yes, it was started on Friday night and completed on the following night! I'm relieved to have stupid adrenal glands out of the way.

So, today, I happily made my way to KLCC. Spent almost 2 hours at the Japanese section in Kinokuniya. :D I desperately needed the crafty input from browsing those amazing DIY books and mags. At a few shelves, I almost gave in to buying. In the end, I contented myself with a book on gadget-deco using rhinestones, pearls, and charms.

{ Book is called Deco Venus Vol.1. Cover is not that attractive. But the insides are. }

Apprently, some Japanese girls like to decorate their handphones, DS and cosmetic cases with bling style. ^-^" I saw a similar book the last time I went to KLCC with yokie. I didn't think much about it then, because the thought of to bling my handphone was quite unappealing. Note; was.

But then, today, I got a closer look. And was sorely tempted to dress-up my phone to look just like one of those in the book. T-T

{ Pinks + ♥s = sweet. But not my style. :P }

{ Ah.... I wouldn't mind candy, chocolate and cakes. :P ♥ }

If this was a catalogue on various bling styles, maybe I wouldn't have bought the book. The main reason I got it was because there's a section on DIY'ing - how to make fake sweets and stuff.

{ Drooled over the page... @.@ ♥ ♥ ♥ }

I wanted to make a mosaic of some of my favourites in the book. But the stupid fdflickrtoys not accessible now la. T-T

{ Super cute right? :D }

After Kinokuniya, I walked around for a bit. Then finally, went to Isetan's supermarket. Got some Japanese yummies. :)

{ Strawberry-cream filled koala cookies, 3 boxes for RM10 }

{ One box got 22 biscuits. In the one I opened, there were 20 different designs on the cookies. }

{ ♥ Seriously good stuff ♥ }

Tomorrow got PBL on polycystic ovary syndrome.

Help.... T-T
