Kenrokuen Garden, voted as one of the top three gardens in Japan. It was already this pretty when I visited on a drab rainy day in June but I can imagine how magnificent it will look in autumn when the leaves are bathed in autumn colours is rust and orange . #kanazawa #clozette

Minimalistic clean lines are so quintessentially Japanese in design . Plus skincare so gentle one can safely use around the eyes. A good representation of this philosophy is this salon brand from Japan - except for the serum, both the cleanser and mask can be used around the eye contour. I particularly like the clean slightly floral fragrance of the cleanser which I use every morning to give my eyelashes a thorough wash to remove the gritty bits accumulated while I was sleeping. #clozette #dskin #dskinsg

Selecting you mei nu for the night entertainment 😜 Throwback to my visit to a Chaya (wooden house) where geishas used to entertain the nobles during the Edo period. VVIP gets to use the golden room where tatami mats instead of rush, it’s made of paper strings wrapped with gold foil (Scroll to see more photos ) #clozette #CoolJapan

Kurobe Dam, the last or the first stop on the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route, depending on each end one start. At 186 metres (610 ft) in height, it is the tallest dam in Japan. #clozette #kurobedam

Shibuya crossing a little less crowded on a late afternoon in June 😆 #clozette

According to local legend, the story of the beckoning cat started here in Gotokuji Temple. In 1400s, a monk lived here. Despite his meagre salary, he shared his food with his beloved cat. One stormy night, a group of samurais visited saying they were brought in here by a cat who waved to them. Touched by the Buddhist teachings they received from the monk, the leader of the samurai decided to sponsor the temple with food and land which brought prosperity to the temple . Today some visitors leave behind ceramic waving cats to leave here which accounts for the endless rows of cats. Entry is free and the tranquil grounds makes a nice break from the hustle and bustle of Tokyo. #clozette

Noumizo Waterfall, located within Shimizu Keiryu Park in Kimitsu City is known as Japan’s most Instagramable cave. In Spring and Fall the rising sun rays falls through the cave and reflects on the water in front to form an image of a gleaming heart. Unfortunately this visit is sunset on a cloudy day in June but nevertheless it was a tranquil walk in this small and quiet walk . #kameiwacave #clozette

At Murodo, the highlight of the Tateyama Alpine Route is ‘Yuki-no-Otani (snow walk) which when opened in April every year can be as tall as a 10 storey building. Sadly I visited on a rainy day in June when the snow melts and wall became shorter but there are many other sights along the route throughout the year which are just as spectacular. #clozette

This massive oyster I ate in Kanazawa will remain in my memory for a long long time . Fresh, succulent and so fresh it only needs a light dip of yuzu daikon soya sauce to compliment the taste. Another stand out item on the menu is a grilled onigiri in a fish broth, the stock done fresh every morning with bonito, mirin, sake and a little wasabi. #kanazawa #clozette

Kanazawa Noh Museum #clozette

Midnight at Kanazawa Station. One of the many perks of staying near a railway station is being able to enjoy the quiet serenity of a place that is normally teeming with people . #clozette

Wet weather programme on a rainy day in Tokyo. Visited Tokyo Photography Art Museum and paid homage to the Yebisu God 😆 #clozette

Back home for 2 days and already missing San Sebastián- the glorious spring weather, spectacular beaches, to die for pinxtos and how good I look in my #massimodutti leather jacket 😜#massimoduttisingapore #clozette

Ticked off watching sunset in the Sahara Desert from my bucket list👏🌻😊 #Clozette

Riding a camel to see the sand dunes and to our camp . It was magical but am glad we took the faster route back via 4 wheel. Once was enough as the inquisitive camel behind you is way too close for comfort 😂😂 I bought a lot of hats for this trip but the best option was still the 50 Dirhams I paid for the berber scarf which protected my head and face from the sun and the sand 👌#nofilter #clozette

April is my special month 🌸🌻. That is when I get birthday discounts from all my favourite beauty brands but my absolute favourite is the complimentary 60mins facial from Clarins. Not only is the facial sheer bliss, I get to play with the makeup while sipping tea after the facial. Thank you @clarinsofficial for the treat 💋💋#clarinssg #clozette

😱Discovered at #clozetteteaparty2019 that my favourite blend of sunblock, the silver Essence UV sunscreen aqua booster will be discontinued 😩. Fortunately was recommended by the GM of Anessa that the gold Perfect UV sunscreen skincare gel will suit my dry skin just as well. Bought a tube @watsonssg and 😅 that it does. #clozette #anessasg
