Outfits from Japan!

We're out of Tokyo!
:)
Met up with Qian's Japanese friend Mochi (who kindly offered us homestay for 3 days) earlier this evening, 
so we're at his house in Kamakura now.
His family is really cute and polite and friendly like all the Japanese we've met so far.
They're really good hosts as well, super hospitable!
I'm so filled from dinner!

I'm not going to spend too much time on the internet (and yay his house has wifi!),
so I shall just upload my outfit pictures from the first 4 days of Japan!

Oh!
And I permed my hair too!
Just by using body language to communicate with the hair stylists.
How brave is that, hahaha.
I'm loving the abundance of hair I have now....
;)

Outfit for the airport!




Here's me looking makeup-less and tired.
;(
But excited about the prospect of going to Japan!






Day 1's outfit!
:)
I didn't expect it to be so cold in Spring.
So I totally brought clothes which I usually wear in Singapore.
Had to buy a horrible wheat coloured cardigan from Uniqlo.


Day 2's outfit!
Nearly froze to death.


Day 3's outfit and my new hair!
:)))
I know the curls aren't too obvious..
Because my hair is too stubborn against curls!

When we happened to walk past the salon again the day after we did the hair,
I went in to ask them if this was normal.
I had a nagging feeling my curls would die off even before I reach Singapore, lol.

So they redid the entire procedure for me,
free of charge!
Japanese really provide excellent service omg.
And they sounded really apologetic about it and apologised like many times.




Day 4's outfit and my new hair (again!).

I prefer having more curls because it is such a big difference from my naturally (too) straight and flat hair.
Just not sure if I would maintain it because I don't think Singapore salons have techniques which are as good.


Oh and most outfits worn from Day 1 to 4 will be launched on TTR!
;)
Look out for them!
We're still launching as usual this Sunday even though I'm so far away.
The rest of team TTR is handling it well!


I'm so excited to explore Kamakura tomorrow!
Blog again soon!

Konnichiwa!

After a long 11 hours of plane journey,
2 novels,
2 magazines,
a semi satisfying plane meal
and wailings of annoying kids,
I'M FINALLY IN JAPAN!

I was mostly awake during the flight because I can't really fall asleep while sitting upright..
But I was amazed at how fast my bestie can just sink into deep sleep (I told her she sleeps like a rock.) just a few minutes into take off.
Hahaha.

It wasn't till the plane landed at the Haneda airport that I begin to truly feel excited about this trip.
Been way too busy the past few weeks to feel the buzz of travelling somewhere new!
And so far, Japan is the furthest I've been overseas yet.

Okay and I just had to add this:
The subway system is so not user friendly! 
Caused us a lot of frustration because by the time we landed it was already past 11PM and a lot of train lines stopped operating already. 
We spent about 30 minutes figuring out which line to go.
They've like 13 different lines!
In the end we had to change 2 lines and take a cab from the nearest subway station.

I'm blogging now from my hotel room thanks to the complimentary internet cable...
But no pictures yet because we look too tired and ugly after the plane ride!
The awful things plane rides do to your hair and complexion.

I'm try blogging again tomorrow!
Japan, here I come!
