Can you see the heart? By serendipity, this tsutsuji grew into a shape resembling that of a heart, right at the heart of Ritsurin Koen.

on dates and muji
Hubs took me out for a movie date this evening. What else! Mission Impossible of course, which proved to be quite interesting and engaging. Go watch now if you haven’t yet.
We have some three hours to spare before the movie started though hence plenty of time to walk around Colette Mare and shop – for more books LOL. Hubs bought his usual number of book purchases while I bought these for the evening.
I bought these books in a matter of five minutes, too short a time for hubs inside Kinukuniya hence I wandered around Colette Mare looking for a stationery box to house our stationeries which are practically scattered about in the house. Wandered towards Muji, located at the basement of Colette Mare. And it made me smile to see this.
Maternity coats. Truly a big help for pregnant women and moms with newborn babies who has to carry their infants around during these cold months.
Here’s another style but I like the first one better.
Before the movie, there’s dinner of course. To celebrate the evening. A romantic chandelier.
And a platter of freshies arrayed beautifully.
On our way home, hyper from all the action in Mission Impossible, we dropped by Family Mart. Decided to purchase this Muji knickknack.
Seeing it wrapped so simply, as is all Muji food products, I didn’t have high expectations on it. But boy we were in for a surprise. Wonder why it is heart shaped as thus?
Frozen strawberry coated with white chocolate. Simply delicious.
Happy evening. Thankful.
Happenstance
One thing we are really thankful for today. Hubby could have had gone to his department’s bounenkai. But by happenstance he couldn’t. And so by happenstance, he was available to attend another party. For that particular gathering, we are truly thankful. Everything really happens for a reason.
By happenstance also, hubs saw this One Piece lip balm in Family Mart this morning. So cute!!! And even at only 500yen, the detail is very good.
more sweets!
Found a new Kitkat flavour! So cute! I think it can actually be a wedding favor especially for those who have a Sakura theme.
The taste? Love it – this coming from a maccha lover. There’s a hint of something mixed in though that I can’t quite put a finger on what flavour it is similar with. Nonetheless, it’s still very good.
This one was today’s office omiyage from Saudi Arabia.
And. Thankful for bonuses and tax refunds. Would hopefully buy the Laura Ashley curtains I’ve been having a crush on. 🙂
city/country mugs
I’m not really a mug collector. I’m a doll collector so I usually buy the traditional dolls in the city/country I visit.
But it brought a smile to my face when I realised that my desk mugs incidentally have the mark of the country where they were bought.
The one from Korea was given by our friend Gali though; who, together with Russell shot our Spring prenup.. I didn’t buy a mug when we visited Korea (yes I bought a doll haha) but I remember how each day, during our week-long stay there, we’d cap the day with a mug of coffee/matcha latte at Starbucks. Memories. 🙂
And oh, another happy note. We finally ordered from Amazon the two books I talked about in my previous post. Yey!
