Bisdak Babbles

During my first few days here, I saw those ads at the MRT stations about Uniqlo opening at the mall near my place. When the new mall opened, so did Uniqlo, a Japanese grocery store, and a couple of Japanese restaurants. A friend told me that Singapore loves almost anything that is “Japanese”, which is really good for me, too.

I thought that the description was a bit exaggerated until the Hokkaido Fair held at a nearby mall. Then when I had the chance to visit Plaza Singapura to watch the surprise movie, I was very ecstatic to see this:

I was even more surprised to find out that there is a handful of Daiso, the 100-yen shop, here in Singapore! The items are sold at a bit higher price at S$2 each. I have been to Plaza Singapura’s Daiso twice and the place has always been crowded. How I wish they would open another outlet nearby.
