*ahem* if you don't know that i'm a cheapskate..
My motto is To Shop When It Sale..
Which is absolutely against my Maybelline purchase here.
I got this for IDR 150.000 or about USD 10.72

4. Maybelline Master Liner WH-1
 Well, someone is trying to line her waterline...
And a nude color eyeliner seems impossible to find here,
so i just had to accept the situation and try the white eyeliner instead..
I got this for IDR 38.000 or USD 2.71

5. Maybelline Color Show Eyeliner no 13 Metallic Purple
I really tempted to try color eyeliner for quite a while.
And i don't have any eyeliner in purple,
and i need some things to make my purchase above IDR 200.000 to get a free pouch..
I got this for IDR 33.000 or USD 2.36

6. The free pouch
The pouch to redeem that i didn't get any discount or wait for the department store promo..
There are 2 options at the display, but i like this one better..

Well, there's something special in this haul.

I included one kitchen utensil and some sauces..


Mirin
I already search for this some time ago and not found it..
In the end i bought 'something' sauce that has mirin in the ingredients list..
I need this to make ramen egg to upgrade my instant ramen to the next level..
I got this for IDR 35.750 or USD 2.55

Hoisin Sauce
I bought this because i want to try cook Peking duck..
Which is a FAILED..
*Sigh* You know when the process is SUPER SUPER LOONG and ended up failed..
 Here sneak a peek of  my failed Peking duck..


Hot Bean Paste
At first i bought this because i couldn't find gochujang at a department store.
I try to replace the gochujang with this. 
I got this for IDR 37.500 or USD 2.67

I found it..!!!!!!!!!!
In another department store... 
I got this for IDR 42.070 or USD 3

My big baby and me kind of tempted out to make this at home.
Well, it turns out good but not awesome like the bistro has.
Here's my samgyeopsal photos...



Books and Coloring Pencil

I want an adult coloring book... i want...i want...

hi everyone..
today i will post about a comic that i recently bought, titled Manekineko Real Estate..
written by a Japanese comic writer named Sakana Sorano..


the actual price is IDR 17500 / USD 1.75
but there's a discount, and i got this for IDR 10500 / USD 1.05
and it has 200 pages of story..

the client leave without pay the rent, and his guarantor also disappeared..
she found nothing, only an abandoned cat inside that room..
and she bring it back to her office..

evidently, her boss and coworkers loved that cat..
they give food, milk, etc..
they decided to name it Kurita, same name as the person who run away and left it.
and he is really attract customer...

*in Japan they believe that put a cat statue (manekineko) at work place can bring more fortune*
*i mean this cat statue... looks, picture of kurita in the front cover is doing the same pose as the cat statue below..*
source

and then the story tells about the dramas that happen at the office, Matsuri and kurita's life and experience..

Except one dragon named Lung.

Lung search horizon with his goblin friend called Bulubelerang at first.
Later, he accompanied by a boy called Ben.
