Shopee Singapore’s Japan Discovery Fair is bringing shoppers various omiyage from Japan like food and snacks, health and beauty products, and items under the home and hobbies categories.
Omiyage refers to a souvenir you buy for colleagues, friends and family after a trip. This act of gifting shows your appreciation for the people you’ve “left behind” while travelling. In other words, it’s like saying “Thank you for covering me while I’m away” or “I missed you”.
Happening right now till 31 January, you can expect to find top deals on Japanese food and snacks. Subsequently in February, Japan Discovery Fair will present more offers from health and beauty, and home and hobbies.
In addition, Shopee Singapore is also giving vouchers of up to S$20 off a minimum spend of S$80, and various shops are giving 50 per cent off vouchers.
Now, you can pretend you’ve just returned from a trip to Japan or comfort your wanderlust with these best-selling Japanese food and snacks.
What must Asma al-Assad be thinking right now? Bright, beautiful and British-born, she could be living an affluent life in England, with friends, family and a fine career, had she not sold her soul to the devil. As it is, she is an international pariah, the wife of a monster responsible for more than half a million deaths, and she faces – along with her three children – the very real prospect of spending the rest of her days in joyless exile in Vladimir Putin’s Russia.
After the fall of the Assad regime, the Israeli military has taken control of a UN-controlled buffer zone in the Golan Heights and hit targets across the country
Abu Mohammad al-Jolani’s road to Damascus has been long. He has talked openly about his change along the way. From young al Qaeda fighter two decades ago, to rebel commander espousing sectarian tolerance.
Former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad said he is ready to face any potential criminal probe over his handling of a sovereignty dispute with neighbouring Singapore over an island.
"As the mother of a girl, I had imagined so many of the difficult conversations and situations I would have with my daughter as she grew to womanhood.... But porn? I never even considered that I would have to have this discussion."
There will not be any cosy dinners at the Kremlin, but Bashar al-Assad may still be quaffing champagne and slurping caviar in his new life of luxury in exile in Russia.
This was clearly where the dictator's British-born wife Asma loved to be, her inner sanctum where she stored her treasures. The looters had got there first, the place was ransacked, but in Asma's personal storage room and boudoir, the floor was covered with countless boxes for jewellery, antiques and designer goods. Among them bank records in Asma's maiden name, for staggering sums of money, half a million euros and 22.5 million dollars.
