McDonald’s Hello Kitty McDonaldland plush toys available islandwide!

Remember them?

The last time we saw Hello Kitty in McDonald’s (in 2000), the campaign – featuring Hello Kitty and Dear Daniel dressed in wedding attires of different cultures – created a mass hysteria amongst Hello Kitty lovers throughout the nation.

I was one of those little girls who made their daddies queue up for them.

The campaign even grasped the attention of opportunists who resold the collectible plushies at high prices.

After 12 long years, Hello Kitty plushies are finally returning to McDonald’s.

In partnership with Sanrio, McDonald’s introduces its first ever McDonaldland Hello Kitty plush toys featuring a series of four Hello Kitty characters each decked out in costumes inspired by McDonaldlanad characters:

Hamburglar Hello Kitty is available from 17 May to 23 May.

Grimace Hello Kitty is available from 24 May to 30 May.

Birdie Hello Kitty is available from 31 May to 6 June.

Ronald Hello Kitty is available from 7 June to 13 June.

15 lucky Omy.sg bloggers had a sneak preview of the plushies before they were officially launched.

Bali, Ubud; a heartwarming experience; an unplanned adventure

Hi all. Bali was where I spent 4 days in.

8th-11th May 2012.

I went to a quieter town in Bali –Ubud. Unlike the busier towns – Kuta and Seminyak – Ubud offers an extra dose of spirituality and tranquillity.

Ubud was where I encountered countless of friendly locals; where I handed out candies to children in their courtyards; where I learnt authentic Balinese cuisine in a local kitchen; where I pulled out a stool and ate from a roadside stall; where I haggled for lower prices at local markets; where I hitched a ride on a local’s motorcycle; where I step foot, for the first time in my life, into a rice paddy field; where I stood by the riverside, observing how the locals fish; where an unplanned vacation turns out to be more than an adventure.






Bali is safe for tourists. Having travelled to other countries where pickpockets and scams are a main concern, Balinese have established a positive set of attitudes that will reap returning tourists.
