The view at Mount Fuji was just magnificent. No words can describe the grandeur and majesty that it exudes. These photos were taken at the Mount Fuji Visitor Centre before we proceeded to the 5th station. 🙂

Cute Mount Fuji origami folded by us 😉

With the glorious snow-capped mountain against a backdrop of autumn colours, it was no surprise that every photo turned out looking like a picture-perfect postcard. We were mesmerized by the picturesque scene.

See what I mean?

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.

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 ;).
