Big shopping for us today.
After cemetery visit for prayer, MoonFlower and I went to nearby outlet mall for shopping.
She wanted to buy a new pair of glasses for daily use.

While she bought what she needed, I did the same for myself.
I needed new sandals for coming summer.
Current pair is about to be worn out and new pair needed.



Another pair but same brand one more time. It is Birkenstock.



Love this design… particuarly the side. Camouflage design. Cool, huh!

Drove my new car over 140 kilometers today.



Not bad… more than good… so far.
iPhone is connected to the car via Apple CarPlay.
That is interesting.

Shopping at Yodobashi Akiba - home apliance superstore.



Vacuum cleaner needed to be repaired but in vain. Too old to fix. No aftermarket parts available.
Well, I bought this right after MBA - back in 2007. Over 12 or 13 years… this has been the only cleaning device home.
Now new one is needed.

MoonFlower is looking at new vacuum cleaner… and will see what to buy.



My shopping is done with this pair of shoes.
Yey, new sneakers!
Cheap one, though. Hahaha. Good… great buy.

Yes, time has come… it is today!
I have signed the sales order sheet for a new car!!!



I am not disclosing the details of this… but will share what car / model soon!

After 6 years with Alfa Romeo Guilietta - now new era with totally new model is coming up.
Cannot wait!!!

Did I pay it all with cash?
Of course not. Cannot afford…
Had to rely on the auto loan. Not bad with 1.9%APR.

Car delivery is at the end of month. Yes, about 2 weeks or so.
In Japan, you can not drive new car away upon signing the contract due to registration and restriction.

Am really looking forward to a new car.

What brand?
What model?
What color?

You will see all soon.

Very cheap and quite unque watch I just bought.
Did not plan to. So instantly… I bought it on spec. Hahaha.
Not prestigeous brand at all… Rather, fashion watch.



Called "Future Funk" - funky brand, huh!



Crazy dial. Very analogue. I love it. Cool on my wrist when wearing suit.
Such unmatched and uncoordinated is quite stand-out.
Crazy?

Leave me alone, will you! Hahaha.

SInce I cannot afford any of watches from luxury brands, I had to stick with something reasonable and fun like this.
Got it?

Rainy weather changed our agenda for the day… but one thing never got changed.
It is a shopping at outlet shopping mall.
MoonFlower and I hadn't checked this place out for almost year.

We used to come once a while until last time. I do not know why.



Then, my shopping mood from yesterday did get carried over… and I bought even more.
Just about timing?



New pair of suits from Paul Smith. Also, neck warmer / scarf from the same brand.

This weekend became big shopping time.
I spent more than my monthly allowance.
From tomorrow on, only instand foods are my compnay. Hahaha.

There is only one unique person like me… who buys winter coat at the end of winter… precisely in March!
Hahaha.
I did it.



Bought an Italian design brand called HERNO. Shop kept this grey one for me over week and I decided to take it.
FInally, I got new coat for myself… after how many years?
I used to put on Tsumori Chisato zip-up jacket for years… now I may look a little bit dressy with this!



Late dinner was Mexican food! Wow, love it.

Tomorrow, I may even buy more… for myself.

Somehow… new bottle in.



Received DOM PERIGNON Rose… it is champagne. Gorgeous wine!!!
Yep, this is a gift from tax that being paid. Nice return, huh!
Paying tax is something not bad at all.

This Saturday made a home alone time for myself.
Except one outing… went to nearby bakery for picking up some breads.
Even picked up pasteurized milk. Very different taste from ordinary milk usually available at any grocery store.





Didn't go out to any other place. I stuck with TV and Ballantine's is my good company at night.
Very calm day. Very relaxing, too.

New coin purse just purchased yesterday… here it is:



Pretty cool, I believe. It is from Camille Fournet - French brand.



Wallet and coin purse are complete with Camille Fournet now.
Good coordination? Guess so… I haven't done such before… finally taste of adult?

Taste… my sugar is also Japanese:



Deep fried sweets… my snack.

Now another weekend is ahead and after that… EVERYTHING is back to normal no matter what we like or not.
Time is definitely ticking.
I should be ready for it. Or time does enforce it on me? Will see.
