Muji to Go

Picked up several things from Muji today.

First I had to get a replacement for my travel pouch for toiletries since I gave my first one to my sister when we met in Hong Kong last May.

Then I got a bag organizer I've been meaning to buy since my things always go topsy turvey in bags.

I also got to travel organizers to give away to my friends. One is going back home for good. The other one is moving to a new office.

I love the things inside Muji. They look so neat and very organized. Plus most of the stuff they sell are very functional. That's why when the lady asked me if I want to become a member to their club, I said yes. Am sure there are still more stuff I want to buy from them sooner or later.

My own way of helping Japan

Thinking of the tragedy that struck Japan, my purchases today was my own little way of helping them out.  I did not have to work today since Labor Day fell on a Sunday so naturally here in Singapore - Monday is a holiday. So after spending a lazy morning in our new flat I decided to venture down Orchard road for some chores and do a little shopping.

I have been meaning to buy a couple of blouses since some of my clothes don't fit me well anymore. Okay okay I am just reasoning with myself why I had to buy these:

Yeps, my favorite Japanese casual clothing brand -  Uniqlo (Singapore) finally had their Cath Kidston Charity Project shirts available here! I knew they had a  collab with the Europe based store since an online friend was able to buy a few shirts from Hong Kong. So when I saw that they brought it here I just could not resist and pick up a couple myself.

The shirts are made of 100% Cotton, so they are really comfy and cool which is very good since its already summer. I really love the way Uniqlo collaborated with other brands and comes out with products that are so cute and comfy to wear, not to mention their products are reasonably prices. I got the shirts at an introductory price of 19.90sgd each. Not bad right?

It's a day for patronizing Japanese products for me today since after visiting Uniqlo, I found myself heading to another Japanese store I love, Muji ;) I am really amazed with all the practical and 'organizy' stuff I can find from this store. My HK trip is up two Fridays from now and decided to pick up a travel pouch with matching containers (lucky they were at 10% off today :)! ):

The travel pouch is sold separately at 19sgd while the containers range from 1.60 to 4sgd depending on the size and style. For all four items plus a cookie at 1sgd, I paid a total of 27.46 less of discount. What I like about it is the hook. I can easily hang it anywhere. Plus I can it has different zippers so I can put my toiletries in without worrying about the contents going topsy turvy.

I wanted to buy the travel document organizer as well but they did not have it in the Ion Orchard branch so I think I will drop by their Bugis branch tomorrow.

PS. Dinner by the way was at Yoshinoya ;)
