Turning 27y/o & Japan Stuff Haul

Hello there, it's 15 March 2016 and remark that I just passed 27 years old ! Happy Birthday to me !
(omg I can't believe I'm close to 3x number , no.. (◑○◑)

..but I had great birthday ! Family and friends were by my side to celebrate it and there's cake !

Hello ! Marissa :3

Wee ~ another new addition in the family. I swore to myself not to collect odd size for my collection , but then,  look at me now, holding some tiny dolls. Argh!

I don't remember where I saw Kikipop first. Little did I know she is Japanese artist collaboration with Azone and some years ago, they stop the production and she became so expensive (like three times of her actual value).

Hello! KIKIPOP  first version,

During end of year 2015, Azone and Kinoko Juice has decided to re-release again the Kikipop. My friend who really wanted her, straightly hyped and did not hesitate to buy her.

A few months later, they came up with the new version, Romantic Frill Sugar.

Hello! KIKIPOP Romantic Frill Sugar

I got poisoned (ﾉ_ _)ﾉ , so I shared with my boyfriend to buy her through a friend (which is also AmiAmi.com dealer).

Lost Little Girl Found Her Home (Miyu's Arrival)

Hi, I'm back with the dolly news ! There's a new additional family member.. ehhh..?
 = = =(ﾉ･ｪ･)ﾉ Presenting, my second Dollfie Dream doll, Mariko ! Ahaha, they just multiple without my notice

Yes, I won her in recent Volks lottery in August 2015. Mariko was re-released along with DD Kirika (Shining Resonance) & DD Alisa (Alisa Ilyinichna Omela TV Anime Ver.).
 Mariko , on the other hand , is the 3rd Ver. named Summer Festival Ver. after previous Mariko Sensei & Mariko Student.

Mariko cost me around $545 (MYR2,300±) include tax & shipping (company price is 57,000 yen with tax , excluded shipping). I made my payment on 31st August and she arrived to me on 12 September 2015. That quite sometime because in previous shipment , it took 4-5 days for item to arrived once payment has been made.

I wasn't lucky time time in term of custom charge. Thus, additional 6% tax is added in order to collect her. Thanks to my friend too, who helped me over to collect the box because I had plan over weekend and the custom office quite far, it took around 30-45 minutes to drive over there.

I named her Hoshino Miyu 星野美優 (ほしのみゆ) which mean beautiful plain of stars. She is Maya's sister ( my boyfriend's DD).

Hello, Miku. Welcome to your temporary home !

Bam! Welcome to the box opening of Dollfie Dream Hatsune Miku, as I promised. Finally can write the blog once I done taking the photos.

After the long time wait, like 1 year LOL , she finally arrived at 26 December 2014.

Watch me playing Japanese candy, Kracie Dodotto Tsubupyon | どどっと つぶぴょん どどっとつぶぴょん [Review]

Ah, finally I completed the video. I was keeping this under me for like 3-4 months? Oh well, let me introduce you Japan's trend. 

This not like our normal candy. You have to some sort of preparing / playing with it before its ready to eat. According to the website seller description :

Dodotto Candy is a new Japanese Do-It-Yourself candy making kit from Kracie, the makers of Popin Cookin. This very affordable, and jaw-dropping, product is safe and fun for children and adults of all ages. All the products in this brilliantly designed intellectual education candy series allow you and your friends to mold and create realistic looking edible sweets. - Source

I watched a lot of Japanese candy video in YouTube before including this one. One day I saw this candy on sale in my local Japan-theme shop. To fulfill my curiosity, I bought this to give it a try.

The candy is quite pricey though, around 4usd.

With a help from my friend, we record the video together when I demonstrate the candy making process. Do watch it, because it's super fun ~ :D
