Kokuyo Kinokuniya


On my previous post, I've got dozens of stationery for unbelievably reasonable price  from Toko ABC, Bogor. This weekend, I went to Kinokuniya Plaza Senayan. For 120k, about the same amount I spent couple of weeks ago, these are what I got :
2 washi tapes - Scotch 3M
1 portable post-it dispenser - Scotch 3M
1 clear pastic pocket - Kokuyo
1 mini box of safety pin - Kokuyo
Scotch 3M and Kokuyo are well known brands  for quality products. Well.. so much price I have to pay.

hoboniching kit

I really enjoy hoboniching. I feel like having my zen moment when I carefully cut papers from different sources (magazines, brochures, newspapers, receipts) and glued them into the pages of my techo. Sometimes I drew too.. or coloured them or add some stamps. Don't have to wait for a specific moment or place. I have what I call "hoboniching kit". It's basically a fat pencil pouch filled with different kinds of stationery. So I can draw, cut and paste anytime and anywhere I want.

toko abc revisited

Couple of weeks ago, I had a chance to visit Toko ABC in Bogor. As I've mentioned earlier (see toko abc), I really heart this humble stationery shop. So, I took this opportunity to grab everything I need.. especially those colourful writing equipments.

For about 120k in total, here goes the list :
21 pens (various kinds of them, including Penciltic)
3 mini block notepad (doraemon and hello kitty)
3 mini craft paper-punchers
2 sets of sticky page marker
2 clear plastic pouch
1 pencil pouch
1 stapler
1 pair of scissors

colour blocks


So you can't draw, your handwriting is unreadable, but still want to add a little of creative touch on your hobonichi?

Fear not, my friend. Thanks to those grid pages, you can simply fill those grids with some colours, make a row of colour block,.. it's dead simple. In no time, you'll love your hobonichi even more.

more cute erasers


Just a simple acquisition of cute erasers. Bought along with the discounted stuff in Metro Dept Store last month. 

metro discounted stuff

It was almost the end of the month. I was on super tight budget cos I have no more money left on my account. The trip to the mall that morning was supposed to be very cautious.. and now I thought it might be such a mistake after all. I was stunned when I saw there was a big sale in Metro Dept Store.. oh yeah, in stationery section as well !! I was helpless as I saw different kinds of cute things were all discounted for 50%. There were crafty paper punchers, craft stamps, passport wallets, businesscard holders, all of my favorite thiiiinggggs.. Aaarrhhh.. What could I do? I carefully selected some items. Those I bought were the best or most useful among the others. On the cashier, I had to use my credit card. My mind kept yelling at me not to use it but for urgent things. Oh please, this time I think stationery may be considered as urgent, .. er what..?! I know.. but.. well, humm.. darn I had no excuse. But well, those discounted items won.


On the picture, we can see back there, a greeny-black canvas pencil case. The broken-white lace made it simple yet beautiful look. Next to it, is a tin coin bank with a picture of a cute little girl. Right infront of it, is a simple plastic (some kinda polyurethane) name tag with cute picture. Can be useful for my access card or commuter train card. Lastly, there are two sets of craft stamps. One of them is in Parisian theme (Eiffel tower and such) and the other is in simple happy life theme (bird, flower..)

commuter tumbler

This tumbler is actually has its own name as Tupperware Commuter Mug. It was love at first sight when I saw this dark purple colour.. it looks so sleek and elegant. Okay, enough about colour scheme, let's move to technical specs.

I haven't tried this tumbler neither for hot or cold drinks, but it would be suitable for both, I guess. The inner lining is also from thick plastic just like my old Aladdin flask. The diametre is 7,5 cm with 19 cm of height, and it can store approximately 360 ml of liquid, according to its specification. Anyway, I like how it has easy-to-open spout and the strainer. This is definetely one of the suit-me-best tumbler I've ever had.

stempel


A set of craft stamps in the shape of drawer cabinet.. which I found quite awesome.
The pattern of the stamps are Clover, Flower, Ladybird and Apple.
From how it looks, these are perfect to make borders.. such a chain of flowers.
Bought from Gramedia PIM.
