This is what I've bought recently. Fortunately for me, this kinda stuff is fairly inexpensive. and can be bought cheaply from Asian shops like Morning Glory etc.


Up top is a Hello Kitty multi-layered bento box. I had been looking for one off these for quite a while now. They feature quite heavily in my Korean drama series and I just think they are a fantastic idea for picnics. Generally you'd put Asian things in it like rice or egg rolls or perhaps some kimbab (Korean version of sushi) . But you could put anything you wanted in it. From what I can tell in my dramas is that when someone is feeling sick or is suffering a little depression you carefully handmake some yummy snacks and lovingly bring it to them so they instantly feel better or somehow grateful you went through all that trouble just for you. LOL. And apparently all Korean people are fantastic cooks, even the guys :p. But what made me really squeal with joy is that its HELLO KITTY! I nearly died! ^^ I got it from a stall in the forecourt of Market City. As with the slippers and Chopsticks set.

To the right are Hello Kitty Slippers. A lot of Asian people as far as I can tell don't like or don't have carpet in their homes and wear slippers in the house as shoes are not to be worn in the home but to be left at the front door. (I'll do my research later as to why this is actually so, I've never really questioned it so I never really made the effort to find out) My own house isn't fully carpeted (we ripped it up due to my son RJ having asthma) and I think it might be better walking around in with slippers. because no matter how well you mop, it is a floor, it does get dirty and that dirt will be picked up by our feet. I think it would be nice in winter too to wear these around the house.

To the left is a little container with a small fork, a small spoon and a small pair of chopsticks. You'd probably mistake the smaller size for being a child's set but I'm pretty sure its just smaller to make it more compact. It didnt come with the Bento box but I thought it was cute and matched and would be good because the bento box doesnt come with cutlery.

In the middle is my phone. I've attached pink and clear diamante stick ons all over it. I love the bling factor. Too bad a couple have fallen off. :( but its cute all the same. Attached to it is a plush pink love heart with pink beads hanging from it. It may be a little overkill. But I love it. These kind of cell phone charms feature heavily in Korean Dramas. quite often they are as big as the phone itself :p how they fit all that in their pockets I don't know. I hang the charm out of my pocket while the phone itself is in my pocket so I guess thats how they do it hehe. I got this from Morning Glory.

In there is also some cute hair ties from Morning Glory. I actually bought these for Georgia. But she loses all her hair ties and clips. Even when I try to keep them all in a container for her. Drives me mental! But I also put my hair up and I am thinking I'm gonna just keep them for myself. She doesnt appreciate the cuteness of these like I do :p (cherries, strawberries as well as watermelon on stuff is also something i love. bows is my new thing. while i remember to write that LOL)

The pin badge is from the Powerhouse museum. Its a picture of a cupcake with the words "Simply Irresistable"....I saw this and couldn't resist hehe ^^
