Dear Chibi,

Sometime last month, I received my very own Usagi blanket~ yaaaaay! It’s basically the same blanket the character Usagi (Sailor Moon) uses in the 90s anime series ^^ (In Sailor Moon Crystal, the pattern is slightly different though still bunnies and moons)  I’ve had this item on my wishlist for a long time, and my bro finally got it for me for xmas, woo!!

The blanket is an unofficial merch from lookhuman.com. It’s soft, furry and thin. I love it so much but it’s also quite expensive (this one was $60).

I’M JUST SO IN LOVE WITH IT 8D

Dear Chibi,

Wow, this list is growing :D! I want to keep cooking more and more variety. So far it’s been a really fun and rewarding experience :)

Dish #11 Pork and Sweet Potato Green Curry

I’ve made this dish a couple of times now, and once for my family (a chicken variation) :D

It’s a pretty easy go-to dish, though I’m still experimenting with the amount of coconut milk and curry paste to use!

Dish #12 Steak with Creamy Mushroom Sauce

Not really a new dish… but a new sauce!

Dish #13 Raspberry, White Chocolate and Macadamia Muffins

My favourite muffin recipe :3 I first made this a couple of years ago and recently again for the cofa guys during our house warming :)

Dear Chibi,

Dish #8 Pumpkin & Chicken Risotto

This pumpkin and parmesan cheese combo is godly. Really yummy stuff and super flavorful! I followed this recipe but switched out the basil for oregano instead. Served some prawns as an entree.

Dish #9 & 10 Potato & Leek Soup and Barramundi

I followed the same recipe as I did last time for the delicious potato and leek soup :D This time around I made my own croutons to go with it. Hubby gives it a thumbs up!

Dear Chibi,
Yesterday I had some time to kill so I decided to check out the newly released Puella Magi Madoka Magica: The Movie limited edition Blu-Ray :D It is apparently very similar to the anime’s 12 episode series (around 95% of the content is the same, including the actual animation) compiled as two movies (Part 1: Beginnings and Part 2: Eternal).

The packaging

Box featuring exclusive illustration for the limited edition Blu-Ray

Back and side view of the box

Two movies in two separate cases. Part 1: Beginnings has a white theme and Part 2 has a dark one.

Dear Chibi,

We spent our last 2 remaining days in Japan exploring Ikebukuro. We managed to do a lot of shopping here and found heaps of Sailor Moon merch!! Wooo! :D So this last blog entry will just be sharing some of the goodies we saw, and wrap up with general thoughts on my trip :)

Part 1: I flew to Japan for the Sailor Moon Musical (and it was awesome!)

Dear Chibi,

On Sunday 24th August, Kaz and I dressed up in a Yukata to experience Japan’s Summer Festival for the first time!! And what better festival to check out, than the one in Azabu Juban where the story Sailor Moon is set? We managed to find these Yukata sets in Harajuku (Takeshita Dori) for a reasonable price. We’ve never worn one before, but luckily thanks to youtube, it wasn’t too difficult and was a lot of fun to wear! We met up with Brad in the afternoon at Hiroo Station, who then took us around to several Sailor Moon real life locations! YOU ARE AWESOME BRAD, THANK YOU :D!

A lot of scenes from Sailor Moon took place in this park :D
