We had tea and scones. I had Geisha Blossom tea while JW had Earl Grey Gentleman. I personally think that the tea is value for money as it comes in a gigantic pot. I think each of us had about 10 cups of tea! The scones are pretty average though. I prefer the ones at Royal Copenhagen anytime.

The mesh of florescent colours and gem accents add a dash of fun and playfulness to the design, without compromising functionality.

JW, on the other hand, wore the new gecko choker that I got for him from Agnes B in Tokyo. I like that the colour of the choker blends in with his skin tone. It is so different from the usual black leather ones that I see around.

Shinjuku is one of my favourite shopping spots in Japan, because you can find anything and everything here, from quaint boutiques to large departmental stores. My favourite shops, Snidel, Cecil Mcbee and US brand Kitson, can all be found at Lumine 2 at the JR Shinjuku Station.

I heard that Daikanyama is another fabulous place for shopping, especially if you like apparel from independent Japanese designers. Unfortunately for me, but fortunately for my pocket, we didn’t have enough time this round.

Regardless, photo-taking was still a must. 😛

Grace had the chicken with chestnut set while Jessie and I chose the unagi set.

Nonetheless, I must say we enjoyed our stay in Citadines. The hotel concierge spoke perfect English and it was a breeze communicating with them.

Both Satoshi and Moo Hee had to be at work the next day, even when it was a Sunday!! They really bring the corporate philosophy “work hard, play hard” to an all new level.

Although they were obviously exhausted, these sweet chaps brought us to a ramen place for early breakfast as our stomachs were growling after all the action. The ramen and gyoza were so delicious that we hardly took any photos!

Price: S$14.90 – SOLD-And finally, here’s what I wore. I absolutely love this breezy number!

Sometimes I wonder if more can be done to achieve inner peace and balance. I should probably start by re-prioritizing my goals. 🙂

Anyway, this was what I wore to the party. I think this is probably the last 21st birthday party that I’ll ever get to attend for age is fast catching up on me. 😛

You know, I used to be breathless after climbing a flight of stairs, but now I can climb a hill and not feel utterly exhausted!

Although it was the start of autumn, the sun was still scorching hot, hence you’ll see me wearing the same hat that I bought from a tourist shop at the foot of Mount Sorak. It goes with practically everything ;).
