There were 6 of us but somebody gotta take the photo ^^

Yay!

My 5x10 LE album is here!

Though did not expect it today. CDJapan sent email, said the album was sent out yesterday.

At 4, my colleague passed a package to me and I was like huh?

EMS so efficient? Takes only 1 day?

After the initial kya-ing with my fellow arashi fan colleague, I checked that it was sent out last friday.

The email was misleading. cheh.

But I guess it was a nice surprise in the end.

 

 

The packaging is really nice.

Alamak, I need to take along drive to listen to the album.

I only listen to CD's in my car.

But where to go?

 

 

SomebodY *wiggle eyebrows* requested for these.

An excuse for me to dig up old photos and spam.

Anybody going for the Sapporo dome concerts?

Well, might as well go for a bit of sightseeing around Furano & Biei.

And of course, if you're already in Furano, Mori no Tokei  - the coffee shop in Yasashii Jikan is a must!

There was already a queue when I arrived. The shop was still closed.

The summer sky in the woods leading to Mori no Tokei.

I guess the scenery should be different in Nov.

It's written Mori no Tokei on the coffee grinder.

Yup..you get to grind the coffee yourself just like in the dorama. You can grind the coffee only if you sit at the counter and the barista will prepare your coffee right in front of you. I hope the chair that I was sitting on was the one Nino sat on. Me & my friend changed chairs halfway cause it was either her chair or mine that Nino sat on. Or at least the same area. haha...

Oh...and the coffee was divine. But I'm a coffee lover anyway.

 

The patio outside the cafe overlooking the woods.

 

On the way to Mori no Tokei there are a bunch of pretty souvenir shops in the woods where you can buy a lot of handmade souvenirs. They also sell drama goods like the mori no tokei coffee grinder, the mug that nino gave his father, the snow crystal necklace etc. But...no surprise here..they're all expensive.

And no visit to Hokkaido is complete without a softo-cream!

Yummy!

It was grape & cream cheese flavour...maybe. But it was super YUM! Hokkaido produces the best dairy products, so anything dairy is a must try. I've tried softcreams in various parts of Japan but yeah...Hokkaido's the best.

 

AND my own Mori no Tokei coffee grinder!

I found these Arashi caricatures at Fort Venus, Odaiba.

Actually my friend found it, I was just kya-ing around and pestering her to take photos.

The shop was closed, the artist wasn't there, so can take photos.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

D'lish gave out complementary coffee and butter cupcake for moms.

 

More cupcakes, this time from Wondermilk. 

 

And the highlight of Mother's Day, the yummiest ribs!

 

 

 

 

 

 

We went to the same spa as Kaname Jun ^^

before any damage was done.

But now before any more damage can be done,

I'm taking the drastic approach ^^

 

Although this is only temporary (I have more!), it should slow me down some.

Since it's the one I use for online shopping.

YAY!

I'm going on a shopping diet.

I think I'm going for the Sho chan diet also.

Will there be any difference if I don't take carbs for a month?

To revise on 20/5/09.

I'm having the giggles after watching Nino wearing a wedding ring for his new drama.

teeheehee ^^
