Stola III - 2 pens in their pods

When I went to collect my Stolla III ballpen and fountain pen duo , I never expected the pens to be placed in individual plastic cryogenic space pods like what you see below .

Gimme a Hero

Would you believe it if I told you that it is still possible to buy this pen which we used to write with in school , for between 1 to 1.20 SGD ? 

Like today ? Like right this moment ? Now . And from a retail outlet in Singapore ? 

Piko-Taro " This is the correct way " to hold a PPAP Pen tutorial

You should have seen the dance by now and as a result the song is stuck in your head .

However , the creator of this viral dance is pretty annoyed that we don't seem to know how to hold an apple pen nor a pineapple pen but not to worry , he understands perfectly how much the whole world is struggling to put the 2 together and he is ready to help .

The link is on top but I will highlight below , some of the funniest penmanship parts no pen enthuasiast would have ever imagined they never discovered before . Be prepared to absorb the very detailed step by step instructions . 

This instruction video has hit millions of views already btw. 

Right . Here are the steps 

Stylus free Samsung ballpen

Indeed I was very startled when I received this pen today .

Given away as a free gift , one would expect it to be lightweight and something you chuck to the back of the drawer after a couple of rounds of jottings .

The C - 3PO clicker pen

How many days it took to find this. Around a week .

I should be ecstatic however , I have to admit that I'm a little bit disappointed .

Star Wars - clicker ballpens

Ahah ! And just what have we here ?

Managed to get a feel and peek at 3 of these cute clicker ballpens just now .

BB-8 , Stormtrooper and Kylo Ren .

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 !

Franklin Covey - Lexington and Freemont

Seeing how the prices were just so amazing , I snapped up the Lexington as well as the Freemont , just now.

Tested them both out and man , this should be remarketed as a left handers pen .

Here is the Lexington in chrome and gold , with stainless steel nib. 

Pink Lamy Safari - plus some unpink freebies thrown in

Getting hooked onto fountain pens can signal your entry into the abyss of no return . With that Cross Sauvage Smoke Stingray performing so incredibly , the kiamsap side of me felt I needed 

to go opt for a cheaper , what they call , the current workhorse fountain pen  .....but what I call , something I can abuse on a regular basis.

Cross Sauvage - Smoke Stingray fountain pen

Sauvage is a line of ball , roller and fountain pens by Cross that women find most visually appealing. 

The nib is made from 18k solid white gold with rhodium plating . Gold , not stainless steel ....definitely makes for a better writing experience.
