Hello Kitty Run
You may have heard that the cutest of fun runs taking place in Sentosa on 1 November is sold out but we’re here to clarify that, while all 15,000 pre-registration slots have been snapped up, you can still pay $70 to $75 to participate. Watch for updates on the Facebook page, as response has been overwhelming.
Bonheur Patisserie
If you plan on participating in the run, get a pre-race sugar hit by sampling the loveliest Hello Kitty sweets available at Bonheur Patisserie. This Pasarbella store produces delicate macarons with a Hello Kitty face that are almost to pretty to eat.

Hello Kitty Friends Gathering
We have it on good authority that Hello Kitty’s favourite word is friendship (though she does not speak and possesses no mouth)! Accordingly, Sanrio Hello Kitty Town Nusajaya in Johor, Malaysia is planning an event to pull together thousands of Hello Kitty fans in one place and set a new Guinness World Record for the largest Hello Kitty fan gathering outside Japan.
BONJAPAN
If you can’t make it to Hello Kitty Town to gather with feline-loving friends, then this might be the next best place to be. As well as selling a wide range of Sanrio plushies, it is the home of the Character Café, where you can dine with a theme and play dress-up in costumes. Stay tuned for updates on their Facebook page for Hello Kitty appearances.
BONJAPAN STATION Singapore, Dhoby Ghaut Xchange MRT Station (Level B1-38); BONJAPAN MEGASTORE, #02-17 Midview Building, 50 Bukit Batok Street 23, Singapore 659578.
Hello Kitty Friends Fiesta
Apparently Hello Kitty is a bit of a collector and has quite a stash of candy, goldfish, stars and trinkets. In a bid to share her love of knick knacks, Sanrio Hello Kitty Town Nusajaya are holding a Fiesta where fans can showcase, share, and trade their treasured Hello Kitty collectibles. There will also be limited edition merchandise available for purchase to add to your collection.
Sanrio Gift-Gate
If you want to fluff up your collection before attending the Fiesta, or you miss out by a cat’s whisker on an item you had your eye on, this very pink store with several locations (Marina Square, Takashimaya, Bugis Junction, etc) is the place to stock go. It stocks the latest and limited edition Hello Kitty merchandise from Japan, alongside gift-worthy pieces featuring friends like My Melody, Bad Badtz Maru, Dear Daniel, and Keroppi.
Sanrio Gift-Gate, various locations.
Hello Kitty Friends Rock Music Festival
When Hello Kitty grows up (although she’s turning 40 she has 9 lives don’t forget – if she’s a cat and not a girl!) she wants to be a pianist. Catch her rocking out on stage at Sanrio Hello Kitty Town Nusajaya for her birthday bash with some famous friends – stay tuned for the names of her special guests to be revealed.
Poh Heng Jewellery
If you need some bling for the rock fest then this is the place to head to. Poh Heng’s Hello Kitty range of jewellery includes pendants in 22k yellow gold or 18k white gold, and matching earrings.

Hello Kitty Friends Catwalk Grand Finale
Clearly, being vertically challenged has not stopped Hello Kitty from becoming a fashion icon. And while she may not have supermodel proportions, she aims to be a role model and inspire others. She is putting a call out to designers to come up with 2 outfits and win the chance to strut the Kitty and Friends catwalk at Sanrio Hello Kitty Town Nusajaya. You’ll also get the chance to meet the feline face, that has graced Elle Magazine Taiwan, up close and personal.
