Daiso - Resting Owls

Some people are wondering what's the big deal about owls . Whether they're a fengshui feature and why the sudden interest / increase in merchandise .

The Japs consider them to be lucky , while some other cultures say they're not .

Me , I developed a fondness for these birds , ever since I was 12 , after observing a family of owls , up in a ciku tree , for 2 whole weeks . 

Fond as I am of them , I don't see myself ever rearing one gosh . Polyresin is good enough a representation for me , thank you very much .

Daiso - 3 Serious Owls

There's a white owl in the neighbourhood where I live. First time I saw it fly by , my imagination ran wild . Only found out years later that " the white thing " , was an owl and our pad so happened to be in the fly zone . 

Had just stepped outside when whoooshhhh , the majestic winged fellow turned his head towards me . Luckily my bedak sejuk covered face did not cause both of us to turn turtle . He must have wondered if I was one of them .

Phew !

Seriously cute owl

Serious Owl.

That's the actual product label stuck underneath it .

Should be renamed Seriously Cute Owl .

The elusive , world famous Riviere Fountain Pen by Daiso

Finding this elusive Riviere fountain pen , a dollar store product made famous by Daiso addicts, is like looking for your spectacle screw which just popped out onto the tarred road.  

Daiso Fountain Pen

These are Daiso's in house brand of fountain pens .

Available in 2 colours.....I did not hesitate in grabbing 2 for myself .

Platinum 0.7mm mini ballpoint pen

The koochi moochi showed me some Unic mini ballpoint pens around a week ago. 

Costing around RM 10 or so , I took note that similar ones from Zebra are sold at around RM 15 upwards .

Rakuten carries a range of mini Platinum at about the same price as Zebra .

Didn't get mine online.

Instead , I found them at 3 times less in Daiso !

Teacup with sushi pics and names from Daiso

Mighty pleased with this latest find.

Not every store has it in stock , so you really have to go to a few stores if you want this. 

Triangular Onigiri holders from Daiso

Sometimes , we need to go to several stores to find what we want. But in this case, I didn't even know these existed till today.

In fact , I also got the rice molds too ..l.. 1 medium , 1 small.

Not only is this a fun and good way to make use of leftover rice , but they also can serve as colourful pick me ups . 

A time when I need them after what happened yesterday in the capital city. 

Price : MYR5.30 for 2 

Where : Daiso stores 

Cup noodle holder from Daiso

The Japanese think of everything.

And I especially like this cup noodle holder from Daiso , Japan.

Made from plastic , it consists of two parts. One is the holder itself while the other contraption next to it is not a chopstick. Will show you what it does later.

How to use the Daiso dog repellent

Dragged my feet until today , after I saw how many people posted on online forums that this product did not work. 

Surprise ! It worked :D 

The four legged offender stayed away.

Found a dog repellent at Daiso

Update January 2015 : it is near impossible to find now even in Penang. Lots of peeps having dog problems yes ?

------------

Yes, I am soooo glad I found this product. 

Seriously have no idea if it works cos I just bought this even though it's raining cats and dogs. Supposed to be ineffective when water gets on it.

How it repells is by way of smell. The smell attaches itself on the offending dog upon contact and won't come off for 2 weeks.

Cruel ? Of course not. Especially when the pet's owner is arrogant plus nonchalant even though her doggone terror comes and barks at your gate as if you encroached on it's territory ....mistress of a mutt
