millimeter/milligram

Millimeter/milligram - a new brand of cuties to fall in love with!!!!!! At 1st i thought it was either a scandanavian brand or at least it's japanese but it's not!!!!! To be very honest and my own personal opinion, I was very surprised that's it's Korean!!! The style of the characters are seriously not very "korean-ish". Maybe I stereotype Korean characters - like Dalki and mashimaro which made it very big in the local market as well as the asian market (if china copies it, it's big enough...huhuhu).

Ok back to millimeter/milligram or mmmg, I found their products by accident at woodwould.

woodwould is a uber cute and cool stationery/gift-shop found in the not so crowded The Cathay shopping mall.

I followed LayC and ShiYing there on friday after work to search for a pressie for Ching as she was going to leave the company. At 1st they wanted to get some Carrie Chau product for her at ForestNtrees but it was way off budget so we went next door to woodwould. I was there once or twice when it first opened and I really liked the stuff they carried. If I was not wrong, they seemed to carry more of the American kind of cards and stuff not like this visit that I saw alot of Japanese stuff from Decole and this new brand - mmmg! And of cos, I couldn't resist buying some stuff from there!

Chams! Already very broke and still spend unneccessarily!!! Shucks!


Boo and I hung out at TCC at T3 today!
It was a pity this strawberry chocolate cake's not fresh.
It taste like it's from a few days ago... :(

The classic cheesecake is still the best....

Nai-sa Land?

Think LayC and I were damn bo liao in the office yesterday... She asked if I had unshare the Tokyo photos in our network and I told her yes I did. She want a particular photo in my folder so she told me to share it again. Which I did. But because I did, she had to pay me $10 for it and see what she gave me..........

Our msn conversation....

See what she gave me?!?!
$10!
But she purposely drew a "nai-sa land" $10.
Buay Tahan!

By the way, "Nai-sa" is actually "LAI-SA" which means underwear in Hokkien.
