Susyblaze (Puma XS698 and Asics Gel Lyte V)

I have a sport shoes kick. 
It all began when I started to wear the dresses-with-Converse ensemble. 

Then I explored more shoes options. Also, not forgetting the boom of Nike Roshe Runs. I own a pair of Roshe Runs too but it's now only for gym purposes because wahlao sooooo many people have Roshe Runs now. It's like when you start seeing Anya Hindmarch's "I'm Not a Plastic Bag" bags everywhere (both authentic ones and replicas), you know it's time to retire yours. 

So, I explored more and more AND MORE, and changed upon an Instagram account - @susyblaze. I wanted to buy so many pairs of sport shoes, but I don't want to deplete my bank account in one sitting, so Susyblaze is amazing! Since I don't want to pay so much money, I also don't care whether or not the shoes are authentic. How can I be cheapo and still expect authentic stuff right? 

Susyblaze also doesn't claim that their items are authentic. This is a major plus for me because there are many Instagram shops that claim authenticity but once the product arrives, you know you have been taken for a ride. 

One more thing I love about Susyblaze is how they have real life photos (they indicate an "RLP" for such Instagram photos) and unboxing videos. I was almost fully convinced that I was going to get high-quality shoes just through the photos and videos. 

So... I took the risk and purchased 2 pairs - the Puma XS698 x BWGH in “Patriot Blue” and the Asics Gel Lyte V X Concepts in "Pistachio". 

I was both excited and anxious. Later I paid almost S$150 for ugly shoes how?? 

Thankfully, when the shoes came, they were both of amazing quality and I was glad I bought them from this website. 

ALSO AH, this was not sponsored at all. I just anyhow scroll the "Photos" section of Instagram and found the store! 

So here are the shoes!

Very excellent indeed!

I'm purchasing more but not now. No space already. :P Maybe during my birthday month?

Tokyo 2015 Photo SPAM.

Warning: way too many photos ahead. If you don't like photos from Japan, then please ... wait, how can you not like photos from Japan?! 

No more typing. Only photos. 

































Yep, we had fun. :D

Tokyo Haul 2015

I just came back from Tokyo a few days ago and the first thing I did was not to do my laundry, but to take photos of my purchases. #priorities

If you are into animes and Uniqlo, then Japan is a shopping paradise! But please also check out GU Japan - it's Uniqlo's sister company and the apparels mostly have the same quality standards as Uniqlo but the prices are much more affordable. 2 years ago, I bought a spring coat for 990yen (~S$12) at a GU outlet in Hiroshima. BARGAIN. 

I also spent way too much money at Akihabara. Not because I bought a lot of things, but because I was cheated and paid so much more for a figurine. I paid 2500yen for an Attack on Titan figurine, felt really happy about it, then walked into Softmap and saw the same item going for 1680yen. Wahlao eh. So yes, I have learnt my lesson and for future Akihabara purchases, I will buy my figurines from huge stores like Softmap and Animate and not from tiny, roadside stalls. =_=

I saved 6000yen for last minute food souvenir shopping at Haneda airport. I always give close friends and family food souvenirs from Japan because who doesn't like pretty food packaged in pretty packaging? Some more almost all of them taste damn nice. Also, they have special Kit Kat flavours at the airport! 

I shall not ramble further. Lai, photos time!!

This was so good!!! A very very good buy. Japan really knows how to make delicious and pretty food. 
An assortment of snacks for Kengyang's family. I don't know what's inside but this was the last pack on the counter, so okay lor, I take. 
This is for my brother! But I already kop-ed one serving and it was a legit bowl of ramen. Tasted like a S$20++ bowl of ramen, but it was ~S$11.50 for 3 servings!! The next time I go to Japan, I will definitely buy more of their instant ramens. 
Sakura Matcha KitKat, Red Bean KitKat and Japanese Chilli Powder Kit Kat
Goodies for the office!
I can only describe the chocolates as "all gone in one sitting". Also, random calf reliever plaster because somewhat same colour family and similarly boxy.
Tea purchases! Some are for chayteng!
Also, I realised some of them expire in July 2015. I better drink tea 3 times a day from now on. 
Finally some beauty products purchases. Confirm have one. :D
We have Bifesta in Singapore but I have never seen the Acne Care bottle, so I was intrigued. I tried it last night and it's amazing. I need more!
Also, this pack of liese hair wipes is very cool. If you have oily hair in the morning and you don't want to wash your hair, this is a great solution! I tried this a couple of times in Tokyo and wow it's really like as if I just washed my hair?! Just blow dry a bit after wiping and your hair will be damn pong pong (Eng: fluffy) and oil-free! 
3 mascaras for my one pair of eyes. :P
CANMAKE lipsticks and and Eye Brow Gel. The eye brow gels works wonderfully. It's now a staple item!
The CANMAKE lipsticks are very moisturising - excellent for the dry and cold Tokyo weather. However, I think they a bit too shiny for my liking. BAH. 

SPIRITED AWAY cup. SO KAWAII. How can I leave this behind without buying?? 

Attack on Titan figurines! Most people I know love the human characters (Eren lah, Mikasa lah), but I prefer the titans leh. 
Lol random cardcaptor sakura bookmark. 
POKEMON!
I was quite disappointed this time round. No nice iPhone cases at all! :(

But they have these nanoblocks. I couldn't decide which to buy (Dragonair or Snorlax) so I bought both.
More Ghibli finger puppets to my collection. I have 14 now! 13 of those 14 are nicely blu tack-ed on my work computer screen, but I LOST TOTORO. OHMYGOSH WHAT A DISASTER. I genuinely felt despair when I realised I lost it. :( 
Lastly, here's a cheeky purchase from Changi Airport before we boarded our flight. My first Jo Malone! Definitely not my last leh, alamak. 
Tokyo photo spam coming soon!! :D
