Samantha Vega Haul

Samantha Vega Isetan is currently having a lucky draw. Simply purchase anything and draw a card from the bowl and you might stand a chance to win charms, pass cards, wallets, tote bags, or even a SV bag!! I of course grab that chance, hoping to perhaps win myself a SV bag.

Simple but elegant packaging. 

So I bought something from Samantha Vega~

Picked a egg capsule which contains a card from the bowl~

And I got a~~

 *Drum-rolls*

Samantha Vega notebook > <

LOL. Well what did I expect. I should have known better that this is a common tactic in business. I actually thought the least I might get was a charm. I think I was their 15th customer that day and on the list I saw many other people getting notebooks too, some had better luck and got cups, tote bags.. but there was also 1 who was extremely lucky and actually won a gorgeous SV bag!! (Check Samantha Thavasa Facebook for photos) Oh well~ Lady Luck is just not shinning on me today.

Anyways~ on to the item that I bought from Samantha Vega. That's the actual highlight of this post and also what you guys wana read about, right? *winks*

Slowly unwrapping~~ comes with a care card too. 

And unwrapping~~~~ 

Though I think the answer is quite clear already. 

And TA-DUH~!! 

The infamous Samantha Vega Initial Charm!!

I really wanted to get My Melody, but every time I checked there was no stock, so finally I settled for Hello Kitty. And this was the only last "M" left!! Glad I snapped it up real fast. Chi Chi is my online moniker, my real name starts with M, wana make a guess? (Clue: Famous American actress-singer with her Iconic Skirt-Blowing) Quite obvious right~ haha.

Cute little kitty ^^ Love the 'diamonds' and little bow on top too :)

Nice heart shaped charm that shouts Samantha Vega x Hello Kitty.

Matches my bag fairly well don't ya think?

Got this lovely 2-piece bag as a birthday gift earlier this year. Friend said that this bag reminds her of me? Haha I'm guessing that means this bag reflects my personality? xD

Lovely little charm hanging on my lovely little bag ^^

The lucky draw at Samantha Vega Isetan is only until tomorrow 26 June Sunday. So if you're feeling lucky you might wana take a chance there and maybe get to bring home a SV bag. There's 5 SV bags up for grabs! But don't keep your hopes too high up though, cause you might get be fairly disappointed with the results.

Sending lotsa luck your way.

Have fun everyone :)

Hello Kitty Alarm Clock

Sorry for not blogging these past few days, just had some issues to deal with. No worries~ this blog is still active and alive!!! :D

I've been searching for the perfect alarm clock for quite a while since my bro snatch mine away, well erm.. though it was technically his to began with.  So yea~ I was at Orchard Central (beside 313 Somerset) today when I chanced upon THE perfect alarm clock. 

Adorable hello kitty alarm clock!! Nice oval shape~ 

Got this red version instead of the black version cause the kitties appeals to me more~ love how they're in a row ^^ And the red just brights up my black table better. 

Kitties in the form of Tamagotchi~ much love <3 <3

LED lights!! How cool is that?? 

When the lights are turned on, they stay for about 5 seconds before turning off by itself. That is if I only pressed the button once..

When I pressed the button twice though~ the lights changes from blue to red to green to all mix to red green mix to blue green mix to red purple mix and so on and so forth... omg~ I am so in love with this alarm clock right now ^^

I can hear these hugee alarm bells (with the pretty changing lights) ringing in my bedroom all the way from my living room. I'm pretty sure these are enough to knock me out of my dreams, or my day-dreams lol. 

I also got a Rilakkuma membership card and name card from the salesman. According to him, these memberships cards are limited edition with only 5,000 produced. And the name cards, LE of 1,000 only. Can't really trust him on that, but I don't mind getting them, cause the cards are really really cute :) 

And just for your information, they are also opening a store at level 6 at Orchard Central next month. So if you're interested in cute items, you might wana check them out.

But the Japan Fair that is going on right now is only until 26 June 2011 Sunday. There is quite a lot of interesting stores selling a whole variety of japanese items. And most of the store owners are Japanese too~ might wana train your Jap skills a bit? xD

And I'll just end this with my little haul of Essential products hair essence Nuance Airy (pink) and Rich Premier (orange). Got these at quite a deal from John Little which is currently having a 20% on various brands. Also with every 2 products of Essential products purchased, there's a free gift of Damage Care Rich Premier 120g. I also got samples of Bio-essence Bird's Nest Nutri-Collagen & Whitening cleanser and advancer. Am a happy little girl now :D

Who doesn't love freebies? 

Enjoy your nice weekend everyone :)

The price is on the steep side though, will be a hugeeeee hole in my pocket if I really caved in and bought them~

Photos I got from ebay:

Reminds me of my Cath Kidston bag.

Kitty with the various floral print ^^

Hmmmm..

Should I pamper myself?

Will you?

SingPost x Hello Kitty Sanrio

I'm not really a die-hard fan of Sanrio, but seriously who can resist little devil Kuromi, cutie pie My Melody, and mouthless Hello Kitty all add up together in a large envelope laptop case?!?!

Not me~ I have a thing for envelope stuff.

I figured I could always use another laptop case. Ahem **Excuses**

Which is why I went ahead and got this:

Measures 36 x 28 cm, a bit tight and hard to put in, but still fits my 13inch laptop snugglingly. My lappie has finally found its home. **HUGS** so comfy and soft to hug too. 

Isn't it just adorable?? It was totally just shouting "Bring me home. Bring me home. " (Maybe I should get a doctor instead, I can hear voices lol)

Anyways, this exclusive collaboration is made in celebration of Sanrio's 50th anniversary between the Singapore Post and Sanrio, therefore it is only available locally.

Photos of leaflet.

They also had a stamp collection which I didn't get cause I'm not into stamps. But they sure look cute!!

More photos of my laptop case:

The huge stamp is just adorable ^^ Haha airmail. To where??

Didn't expect the laptop case to be really shaped like an envelope!! Thought it would be zips like most others. That was a bonus. 

But the velcro wasn't as secured as I thought. Keep having the feeling that my laptop might drop out if I didn't hold it with the envelope facing upwards. Only thing I didn't like about :(

The padding inside. Didn't quite like it initially. But I think it's getting to me now.

You can also check out the official press release here.

I got mine at Singapore Airport Terminal 3 Post Office, think was the second last one.

So Sanrio lovers in Singapore, hurry and go grab yours if you haven't got one yet.
