what the heck is Bo Luo juice?

Just came back from a Shanghai flight..

Moi had this Chinese passenger asking what juices we have on board... happily, moi replied in mandarin that we've got apple, orange, tomato and pineapple juice.

Man: Do you have Bo Luo juice?
Moi: No sir. We do not have Bo luo juice on our flight
(moi have absolutely no idea what the heck is "Bo Luo" juice)
Man: Isn't that Bo luo juice on your cart? (pointing at this juice carton)

Moi looked...

True enough, Moi actually have a carton of Bo luo juice on my cart!!!

*faint*

FYI: Bo Luo 波罗juice is also known to us Singaporean as Huang li or feng li juice aka PINEAPPLE!!!

I felt so dumb -_-

New York New York!

It was snowing in NY City!!

moi took a video from my hotel room... Cant really made out the snow but oh well..


We were pretty fortunate cos it only started snowing on Day two of our stay.
Day one was spent SHOPPING SHOPPING SHOPPING!!!

We walked all the way from 57th street to 34th street where Macy's is located. Initially, the group of us intended to take the metro (MRT train).. Unfortunately, we had this horrible encounter with this black man forcing us to buy his metro cards...
We literally flee from the underground!!

The walk to Macy's wasn't that bad (except for the freezing cold...Brrrrrr)
In fact, we had a chance to walk passed the super famous Times Square which is somewhere between 34th and 54th street...
(Haha... yesh, im super lazy to check the exact location of Times Square)

Looks familiar?Lost lil Elmo in NY street
A whole shop selling M&M stuff!!! from M&M chocolates to T-shirts to souvenirs
You get the drift.....
Nelly: Ride wit me
"If you wanna go and take a ride wit me
We three-wheelin in the fo' with the gold D's
Oh why do I live this way? (Hey, must be the money!)"
or mabbe this is more your style?Finally decided to give this a try: Bare Minerals starter kit@ US$60......after much convincing from my set of colleagues.
Another beauty product that my colleague is raving about: Benefit
bought the foundation faker cos i heart the packaging so much!!

that's all from my NY trip!

Fukouka trip!

Super happy!!

:)

Moi got called up from standby to do a 4days Fukouka flight!!
It's my first time to Fukouka!!! Heard my colleagues raving about their Ramen, supposely to be the best in Japan...Moi gonna tried it to find out how good the Ramen is!!

Here i come!!!

Instead of employing pple to take your ramen order, they have these machines which are quick n simple to use

My order coupons!!...just pass it to the waiterMade to order Ramen.. just as how you like it!! This is my personal Ramen boothI know the seating arrangement is kinda weird...Think it's something abt giving the patrons privacyFinally!! My made to oder Ramen with an extra eggie!!Doesnt it look super yummy?
*droolz*After lunch, it's time to head to my favourite shop,
Daiso aka 100yen shop!!
The funny thing about shopping in Daiso shop is:
You don't really have specific things to buy, but somehow or rather, you end up with tons of purchases...

LIKE ME -_-

moi spent like 10,000yen in that shop (which is equivalent to buying almost a 100 items)!!
A new record!!
Check out my shopping baggiesAnd all my 100 items!!Half of these fake lashes are for my cousinI love the Q-tips from Japan!! They are, well, just different from anywhere else..
Seriously.
You just have to use it to know itMoi absolutely love this!!
They help my boots to stand upright instead of falling over like a........My first taste of Japanese sake was at this restaurant..
Let just say once is more then enough
Cutie Japanese stuff
you gotto hand it to the Japanese for coming up with these innovative products!!

This will apparently makes your nose sharper
(moi pretty sure a normal clothe peg will produce the same result but at one fifth of the cost!)Electronic eye lashes curler
Different massage rollers
(notice that they are all in Pink packaging?)face up roller to make u face slimmer n prevent double chin?
(it's their number 1 seller leh!)
First we got face up roller, now fingers roller?????

(Alright, moi tired using it and surprising, it felt really really relaxing)
This probs take the cake: A "half size bedroom slippers" to slim and shape the calves?!?!
Pretty Hello Kitty Shop! For Dindin, moi had this fried chicken thingy which was pretty nice but not as nice as the Ramen..I love Japan so much....
