[Japan Travel Fair] Welcome to Yokohama

2016-11-18T13:31:00.000+08:00

As most of you might already know, I'm very fond of traveling and one of my favorite place to go for is Japan (Tokyo in particular). I'm still trying to live my long term goal of visiting Japan at least once a year, covering all of Japan if possible! I usually plan for my own trips, reading all sorts of information and reviews online, creating my own itinerary etc; however all the planning can be tedious without a proper direction, and I tend to skip out places with lesser reviews/less popular even though there may be some sort of hidden gems that I didn't know off.

Which is why I was very excited to attend the Japan Travel Fair last week (9th-13th November) organized by Japan National Tourism Organization (JNTO) held in One Utama Ground Floor - Highstreet. I was very hyped up after hearing this event; I mean, what can be better than getting to know different prefectures specialty and culture from Japan, while participating in mini games for more travel goodies and discounts?

The main stage where all activities are held. Each prefectures took turns explaining about what is good to visit, and how do they differentiate themselves from other prefectures. There's even wagashi (Japanese handmade sweets) demonstration and tasting session which my Japanese colleague took much interest in.

Free Yukata experience available as well :), and you can get your photo taken and printed out for remembrance.

What grabbed my attention in this fair was a small booth promoting the city of Yokohama. To be honest I have always left Yokohama out of my travel itinerary because I couldn't find much info about the area, and it is less popular as compared to the other Japan travel hot-spots.

Look who i found! Ash from the GG Twins was the MC for the fair :)

Yokohama locals who promote at the booth were very kind, and they have spent around 20minutes explaining to me about Yokohama. And wow I was amazed and feeling all the regrets for not visiting this awesome location sooner ><.

Yokohama is actually the second largest city in Japan by population (with over a 3 million!!??), and is also known as Japan's first port of call. To me, this is probably the best place to go for a one day visit while staying in Tokyo, as it is only 30minutes away from Tokyo. This port city is suitable for travelers of all age: there's historical building, different sorts of interesting museums, awesome sceneries and even amusement park! There's no need to worry about transportation, as the railway access is as good as Tokyo.

Just to name a few attractions from Yokohama that caught my attention:

Skyline view and Sceneries

Minato Mirai 21 is the central business district of Yokohama city, and for those who are fans of skyscrapers views, you can head over to the Landmark Tower (Sky Garden observatory) located 273m from the ground - you can even see Mount Fuji and Tokyo Sky Tree from the observation deck! Get all your cameras ready XD

I may not be so much of a nature lover, but I do love beautiful parks and gardens as well~ For those who love beautiful Japanese parks, the Sankeien Garden is definitely for you. The locals recommended visiting the garden on Spring (sakura) and Autumn (maple leaves) for the best view.

Family Fun Time

For those going with family and kids, there's the Yokohama Hakkeijima Sea Paradise which is one of the most visited amusement park in Japan with an impressive aquarium. The entrance fee for Sea Paradise park area is free, so you could have a nice stroll and family picnic at the park area. Entry fee is only required for the attractions of Aqua Resorts and the rides of Pleasure Land.

Besides the aquarium, family could also bring kids to Zoorasia, currently one of Japan's newest, largest and best kept zoos. What is so special about this zoo is that the animals are kept closest to their natural habitat, spreading out among seven ecological areas: Asian Tropical Forest, Subarctic Forest, Oceanian Grassland, Central Asian Highland, Japanese Countryside, Amazon Jungle and African Tropical Rainforest.

For the bold and young

Yokohama Cosmo World!!! I'm a huge lover of theme parks so I was really excited when hearing about this. The Cosmo World amusement park has a handful of roller coaster rides, carnival attractions, and symbolizes by a large Ferris wheel that doubles as a clock. In the evening the park is illuminated, and adds to the night view of the city.

Ladiesss~~~

Shopping is the best in Japan!!! Yokohama is filled with tons of shopping malls, like the Queen's Square, Landmark Plaza, World Porters, just to name a few. Motomachi shopping district

After shopping, there's also Manyo Club, a spa and relaxation center, offering hot spring baths with water brought in daily by truck from the Izu Peninsula. Paid services include acupuncture, foot pressure therapy and various styles of massage. Other services include restaurants, internet access and relaxation rooms.

Food

What's traveling without good food :) There are many places to hunt for awesome food, like the Shin Yokohama Ramen museum (known as the world's first food themed amusement park). You could try out all the different ramen flavors because all stores offers mini ramen with super small portion for taste.

There's actually so much more to Yokohama that I don't think I could cover in one single blog post; but for now Yokohama is definitely in my top list the next time I'm going back to Tokyo. If you want to understand more about the Kawaii (cute) and artsy aspects of Yokohama, do visit Kurumi's Blog here .

Thanks to Yokohama tourism, I got to dress up in Hakama during the fair too~

YAYYYY~ I still prefer the hakama I owned, but this one looks awesome as well! In Yokohama, there's Hakama rental service where you could rent one of these outfit and spend the day walking around in Hakama.

With the beautiful model from Amber Chia Academy. Am feeling like a potato standing with her haha.

Love the selfies taken that day >< But I do wish to put on some hair accessories to match with the outfit.

To end my blog post, I wanna express my thanks to the Yokohama tourism staffs for their time explaining to be the specialty and culture of Yokohama, I really learn a lot during that short period of time; and of course friends whom I met during the fair for bringing me around for freebies. Won't you guys give Yokohama a try when visiting Japan?

DC Restaurant review

2016-06-01T12:00:00.000+08:00

While typing this I've already booked another fine dining session with Stephanie for tomorrow's dinner at Bistro a Table. Going back there for the second time because that's how much I love that place, stay tuned for my blog post!

So this dinner was around few weeks ago I can't remember, and I have always wanted to try DC Restaurant because the ads keep popping up on my newsfeed and I've been reading good reviews about it. We booked our session at 7.30pm, and the dinner ended around near 10pm - quite a long wait in between each courses.

We went there right after work, and was too early so we decided to go grab a cup of tea at a nearby cafe. Forgotten the name of the cafe but the foods there looks great as well, especially the pizza!

We went up on 7.30pm sharp. Greeted by the usherer, waiters and Darren himself! Recognized hiim right away because I've been reading many blog reviews with his picture in them lolol.

On the table: Antipasti of marinated local baby octopus - italian green olives - Bresoala air dried beef with peperoncino

I'm a huge fan of olives so yup! Loving these as usual. I remembered having something similar to these before, probably at my cousin's son birthday party - they got the entire fine dining crew to set up a fine dining party at their house.

Chef's daily Amuse Bouche :D

Seriously forgotten what this dish was called, the name was way too long for me to remember. There's an oyster though~ The one in the middle is smoked salmon, and the one on the left should be Kakiage (fried vegetables) with caviar.

1st course: Wagyu oxtail ravioli with sea cucumber - with a light mushroom consomme

2nd course: Wholesome - Britanny Blue lobster ; crab congee ; salted egg hollandaise : fresh bamboo shoot : Nasturrium flowers : Lobster essence

3rd course: Cold Capelini with botan ebi and abalone
Wasn't supposed to be abalone, original menu was to have Uni (sea urchin) and I was really looking forward to that sobssss. But the chef (Darren) came to us and said to replace it with some nice abalone, so well! Can't help it :)

4th Course: Seared foie gras with PX(Pedro Ximenez) Hibiscus; Macadamia; Beetroot; Cured Akami blue fin tuna

This was my ultimate favourite!! And it was pretty tragic when I totally forgot to take a picture of it LOL. Took a bite of it right after this selfie and still regretting till now.

Main Entree: Chilean Sea Bass with miso glaze - French white asparagus; Umeboshi Maltaise sauce; Grilled aus blue mussels; Pea Celeriac bamboo shoot ragout; oyster essence

Love love love the sea bass~

Stephanie's Main Entree: AOP French Anjou Pigeon - slow roasted and served medium rare: Mille Feuille of black truffle shavings & white asparagus: Lamb sweet breads: Puy Lentilles puree: Pigeon essence

Some lemon shaved ice to clean our palatte.

Mains: Aus lamb saddle (South Australia) crusted with porcini and Sansho pepper - slow roasted medallion (medium rare) ; glazed rainbow carrots ; Truffled potato croquettes ; sauce Bordelaise ; Crispy Kale + supplement: 50gms Ernest Soulard Muscovy Duck foie gras

MY ANOTHER ULTIMATE FAVOURITE!!! The Foie Gras here is soooo good, totally winning the game ~ Not regretting getting the extra suplement :)

Stephanie's Mains: DC Seafood Medley - Hokkaido Scallops: Pan seared fish of the day: Grilled local slipper lobsters: Vegetable vinaigrettes: Topped with a sea urchin emulsion

DC 1st Desserts: Creme fraiche sorbet with wild flower honey & honey comb crunch
This tasted average to me, feels like those from MilkCow.

DC 2nd Desserts: Coconut dessert: soft Yuba soybean skin ; pistachio pudding ; sticky rice with mungbean and macadamia ; fresh coconut ice cream

This is my favourite desserts!!!! I love coconut desserts to begin with, and I love the pistachio and mungbean too~

Selfie while waiting. Waited in average 20-30minutes for each course lol.

Thanks a lot for the company Stephanie!

OOTD: Knitted cream blouse with velvet brown knee length skirt :)

Final Love Live 2016 (Live Viewing at GSC Mid Valley)

2016-05-29T10:00:00.000+08:00

Still having the FEEELS while typing this T___T. I admit I'm not quite a Love Live (LL) fan at first (my sis was the one started to play the game, and introduced the game to me but I refused to play hahaha). And one day I just started playing, and here I am, a complete LL fan LOL. I quite like some of the songs, and even performed them several times with my band (full band and acoustic). My first cosplay was even Eli from LL!!!~ Seriously can't believe it...

Here's some of my cosplay photos from last year's Comic Fiesta 2015 (December), cosplaying Eli - First Live DVD cover version. Please be nice to me, considering this is the first cosplay of my life hahaha. Posting CF photos here because I won't have time to blog about CF lolol. Aoi cosplayed Nozomi, the same version as me, while Sayoko cosplayed Maki school uniform version. Aoi and I will probably be having a LL photoshoot soon yay!!! I definitely wanna get it done by this year :D

My favourite group photo at Comic Fiesta:

Forwarding time to the 1st of April 2016, where I'm preparing myself for Final Love Live concert T_____T. LL means a lot to me as I've seen how it grows every time, and I even cosplayed Eli (that shows how much I love the character). For the live viewing concert, I've decided to use up the nail seal (stickers) that I bought from Tokyo which I initially wanted to just keep and not use them.

I've thought of the designs for each and every nail, making sure that the colors matches each characters well :) I'm pretty proud of the results!

I'm soooo happy that GSC Mid Valley's management managed to bring LL live screening to Malaysia! A huge thank you to Chee Ren for helping us buying the tickets, and even exchanging the goodies with strangers just to help us get our favourite characters, really appreciate that~

Also a big thank you to AIO, for helping me to buy the S size live tshirt + wrist band :D The quantity were soooo limited and it would be impossible for me to get them myself.

Changed the tshirt in a nearby toilet, and ready to go!! YAY!~

#OOTD: LL Final Live T-shirt, black fluffy skirt, red checkered blouse as waist wrap, my favourite studded wedged boots.

Here am I!!!! I'm quite surprised that they changed the posters into LL posters. I love my wrist band soooo much!!!

Concert starts at 3pm (I took a half day leave for this concert), so we were chilling around taking selfies with the banners and billboards.

Our goodie bags + Aoi's Nozomi towel~

Me + my favourite Ayase Eli~

Waiting in the cinema with buddies~

Love the whole concert a lot!!!! Appreciate how Namjo still tries to perform even though her knees were injured >< Thank you very much to all seiyuus!!

We thought the billboard were gone after the concert, but it was hidden at a corner so we went back for more pictures, and more LOL.

I love the tshirt design from the back too!

Nozo x Eli - OTP?

My final best solo full body shot with all LL first batch members~

Quite envy both Aoi and AIO because they bought the awesome live goods and I don't have them. So I took this picture with my DIY LL nails hahaha:

Love Live is FOREVER!!! 今が最高！！！

Animax Carnival 2016

2016-05-26T01:30:00.000+08:00

As you can see I'm working hard to clear as much backlog posts as I could .___.

Dressed up properly during Animax Carnival 2016! It was held at Sunway Convention Centre, my usual buddies (Sayoko and Aoi) have decided to attend with Lolita fashion instead of cosplaying :D It was their first time wearing proper lolita coordinates and I hope they enjoyed their time~

Four of us! Me in my Antique Piano barouque style coordinate; Sayoko and her black bodyline lolita skirt; Aoi with her purple Skirt from Soufflesong (I love her wig sooo much!!!!); Reiki with her chocolate print JSK (cuteeeeee~~).

There isn't much stuff to do at Animax Carnival, other than to queue up for the games and chill/hobo around the area. So obviously this means that we spent most of our time hanging around taking selfies/wefies, chatting etc.

The Trio with Megane (glasses):

I got my round frame glasses from RedEye Korean Accessories shop, and removed the plastic lens to avoid the light reflection during photo taking :D After this event I actually bought a new similar glasses from O.W.L and love it till now~~

Us and the mini cute coser! I've been following her page ever since, all the best in your cosplay little girl :)

I basically just walk around with this few KGs heavy old luggage bag. This was a real luggage bag from the 80's (or 70's?) that my mum borrowed me, so it's not really a fake photo prop lol. My arms was about to fall off towards the end of the day, the bag was really SOOOOO heavy T____T.

#LolitaCoordinate #OOTD :

Brown English Noble Hat: Ank Rouge

Lace blouse with Wine Red ribbon details, English Roses collar design : Liz Lisa

Antique Piano Scarf and Skirt : Abilletage Japan

Round frame glasses: Red Eye Accessories

Wine Red enamel gloss heels: Forgotten the brand LOLOL

Old School Luggage Bag: borrowed from Mummy~

This is probably one of my favourite Lolita coordinates! I love every single details I put my heart into, deciding which accessories to match, my hair style, makeup etc. Spent a whole night trying to figure out what matches the most! And it looks like my hard work pays~

The trio + Rin + Azu~ Chee Ren and Azu were cosplay couples that day :D

Met Fishie!!! I missed you a lot! Let's find a day to chill and hang out again!

Lol what are you doing behind, Aiko??

Chooi Yi - One of the MLC members I met during the February CNY dim sum meet.

Us from MLC!~

PEACE!!!!!

Thanks Forat Shot Photography for this photo~ Love the color and warmth!

Haha, this was from Sony Camera booth, I kinda doubt if they could sell their camera well. But after some edits I think it looks okay-ish.

Could see my earrings from here hahaha. They are the Red Galaxy earrings I got from Harajuku :)

Anddddd of course, my favourite full body shot will always be from my sister :D For some reason she always manages to take great pictures of me!!!! I wish I could do the same as well >__<

Recent Foodies!!

2016-05-23T13:30:00.000+08:00

Since this is mainly a food post, you won't see me posting much selfies :D Enjoy drooling with all the food pictures! I won't be able to remember some of the food names, but i'll try my best to.

My burgerlab - this was when Ultraman salted egg yolk burger was out, I wanted to try this sooo much I keep inviting friends to go with me. Turns out to be just slightly above average only .___.

On the other hand, Whup Whup's Ducks 3 Ways (salted egg yolk also) pasta was soooo much better. I really wanna go back there again >< Here's some of the food from Whup Whup: Fat Shrooms, my awesome Duck 3 ways pasta, carbonara, beef pasta? can't remember, and the special V-day salted egg chocolate dessert (tasted normal though, nothing special).

P.S Tokyo soft serve:

My fluffy omelette from Franco:

Used to love this SOOOO much, i still love them now, but am on a low carbs diet now T___T. Dry pan mee from Go Noodle:

I made this Korean Fire Noodles Carbonara version! Inspired from a video saw in Facebook, this tasted AWESOME!!! I bought a few more packets for myself after that too haha.

Mutton pie and my favourite Earl Grey Tea latte from Starbucks.

Lunch menu from Lancelot Tea Guild. Main courses tasted normal, Ice cream scones were not bad though!

328 Katong Laksa: tasted awesome initially, gonna close down their shop by June, and their service went downhill because they don't really have the motivation to continue their business anymore.

Diane pork chop from Ante:

Very original Udon shop, has similar taste with japan! Mentai Udon from Min Min. Their Yasai Kakiage (Deep fried vegetable) is my favourite.

Rokku Yakiniku!

Vietnamese fried spring rolls from Vietnam Kitchen.

I'm still constantly craving for this!!!! Crepes from Strangers at 47 :) Definitely going back when I have the chance. They serve Savoury and Sweet crepes.

Won these handmade macarons from Doux Patissiere, thank you sooo much for the cute macarons.

New Chapter by The Owl, they have the best waffles ever. I like the porcelain cup that comes with my Rose Latte, but taste wise so-so.

Frisson Coffee and Bar. This salmon chunk omelette is my ultimate favourite~

The Owl Cafe. We ordered the Rebecca (with Earl grey ice cream) and Smoked salmon + eggs waffle, they both tasted so awesome I'm already looking forward for my next visit. We got a good seat near the window, so it's easier to take good food pictures too hehe.

Recent Angry Bird McDonalds, I'm addicted to the two new nugget dips: French cheese and black pepper mayo.

My favourite Rose tea Latte from the vegetarian restaurant (Loving Hut) that our family always visits.

Shrimp and Avocado sandwich from Franco. Didn't have them toasted and loving them this way.

The ever so awesome Pan Mee soup (with additional bursting meatball) from Go Noodles. Try them yourself!!

My colleague and I tried this just because...they looked interesting. But please don't try them, tasted like food dye + shaved ice.

Another waffle place!!! Waffle World has this really affordable lunch sets, my favourite being the waffles eggs benedict. Their new dessert: Salted egg yolk sauce with belgium waffles is climbing to the top of my list soon.

Brought my parents to Ante (1 Utama) during Mother's Day recently. Glad to know that they enjoyed the meal a lot, i enjoyed my curry Cha Siew pasta as well~

Chargrilled pork chop. Portion is soooo huge.

Aglio Olio with bacon.

Fried poached eggs with bacon.

My Char Siew curry pasta.

Yay for Godiva softserve!

Finally tried Minori Japanese Restaurant .___. The restaurant with my name LOL. Took the Wagyu, Uni and Ikura special don, the wagyu was great, but uni and ikura wasn't fresh. Feeling rather dissapointed because I can't accept Japanese restaurant having seafoods that aren't fresh. So yeah, my advice, don't go Minori LOLOLOL. Just support my page, listen to my performance etc /hits.

Went to celebrate AIO's late birthday at Jibby and Co, and I ordered my favourite appetizer - Salted egg yolk popcorn chicken yay!!!!

My food quest will never end! Stay tuned for more hahhaa.

February & March 2016 Malaysian Lolita Club Meetup/ Gathering

2016-05-21T14:41:00.000+08:00

MLC: Malaysian Lolita Club

February 2016 MLC Meet : Dim Sum~

MLC Feb meet was of course in the theme of Chinese New Year! And we went to have dim sum (halal because there's muslim Lolita joining) at K Dolly. Food there was average but I really do enjoyed the meet a lot because it was actually my first time ever joining a Lolita meet up!!! Started Lolita quite looong ago but somehow just keep failing to join the meetups, either having some other events or performances sobss.

My mum dropped off Reiki and I at the LRT station, and we both took the train there :D I really do enjoy wearing lolita dresses in public because I'm somehow used to public gaze anyway >___> with my performance outfit and all. Both of us went to the wash room to prep up our hair-do, touch up our makeup etc, a routine for girls before meet-ups haha.

And of course, tons of selfies LOLOL:

I'm wearing Qi-Loli this time! A chinese style Lolita influenced by Qi Pao (chinese traditional outfit). I got mine from Miss Point, and fall straight in love after seeing the color (i rarely have pink dresses so I've always wanted to have one) and the flower prints. Really matched what I had in mind so I had it tailor-made to my size yay~

Never ending selfies with my Loli-partner Reiki~~ I'm so glad to know her through Aiko, we stayed soooo close to each other!!!! She's pretty good at singing too, hugsssss. Cheers to more outings and karaokes to go :D

She was busy selfie-ing + looking at herself through the phone mirror lolol.

Of course, Me toooo~

We moved to our meet-up venue at K Dolly after Aiko arrived.

I have totally forgotten to take any food pictures; was so busy getting to know more new lolita friends and getting so hyped up with talks about new dresses, lolita brands etc.

Here's my full body #LolitaCoordinate #OOTD of the day:

I matched my dress with a antique butterfly shawl, and a super expensive wooden hand fan I bought from Spain. For my hair I did a small braid on the sides (I don't think it is shown in the pictures haha), and added a nice blue pink feather hair pin as decoration.

Usagi bag sooo cute!!!

A final group photo before we leave:

We went to the lobby area for some photos as well, Year of Monkey :D

March 2016 MLC Meet : Tea Party at The Majestic Hotel KL ~

YUP!!! I joined the March lolita meet-up as well XD Can't stop bonding with the lolita girls so I've made a point to try to attend as much meet up as possible ( as long as it doesn't clash with my events or performances). I went Hi-Tea with my mummy during her birthday last November before, but I booked the entire Orchid room for her, hope she enjoyed herself. Lolita meetup this time is at the Tea Lounge, where we can see the live piano performance nearer!

Our toilet preparation took almost 40minutes =____=. Yup, thats how long the girls prepping themselves. I prefer to dress up at home (for any events haha), so I'll just wait for them while selfie-ing~

Aiko was there pretty early LOL, she was saying that every time she decides to be early, it was the time everyone else will be late .___. Her table almost finished half of their tea set by the time we arrived our table haha.

My Lolita outfit this time - Red x Brown Tartan Chess Print JSK (jumper skirt) from White Forest, a korean indie Lolita brand. I got myself a full set including the beret, because I'm a fan of beret myself :) After posting my OOTD pictures on instagram, the designer of White Forest actually messaged me!! And we have been instagram friends since, just that she speaks korean and don't really speak english =____=, so communication is slightly difficult.

Majestic Blend tea, to me it's just a normal English Breakfast Tea lol. Hi Tea spread is somehow similar to the ones I had during my previous visit.

With my cute purple Reiki!!~ Forgot to mention that I drove both of us here at the hotel, achievement unlocked :) Reiki studies Photography so I'm counting on her to take good pictures for me~~~

I quite like the scones here~ has the texture I prefer, not too hard nor soft. Of course my favourite tea jelly is always from TWG. Heard that ritz carlton hotel has better scones though, can't wait to try them next time.

Yay for group photo! Some of the girls went back though ><

Some of the food pics, I like the savoury plate a lot!!

Selfie with the cuteeeeee Aiko!!!! Thanks to her joining MLC has never been easier. Her hard work and commitment to the club is sooo admirable.

LOL non edit photos, you can see the colors aren't vibrant:

The red team!

My dress from behind:

The all mighty group photo!!!~ Love you girls sooo much :D I'm already looking forward for the next meet. We are gonna have one in July, but I hope there's one in June as well maybe?

I'll end this post with a final #Lolitacoordinate #OOTD picture of me and my lovely dress. Tartan x chess print combines both my favourite, and I hope to discover more Lolita favourites and try all of them out (Gotta try all the Lolita dress!!). I matched this dress with a Clock design sling bag and a pair of wine red old school style heels.

Kiss Me x Lucido-L Beauty Workshop

2016-04-25T14:28:00.002+08:00

Attended the Kiss Me x Lucido-L beauty workshop two weeks ago with Choy Peng - a talented and dedicated blogger :D (Do check out her blog here , enjoy reading!). Workshop started around 1pm, so we met up for brunch at Frisson Coffee Bar.

My awesome Chunky Salmon Omelette.

I went there again for brunch the next day with my family, ordering some scrambled eggs and mushrooms; but I still prefer the chunky salmon omelette haha, the mushrooms were too sour for my liking.

After having a super speedy brunch (I was 30minutes late, thus only have 30minutes for food >___<), we went up for the workshop~

All the banners for selfies and phototaking :)

With some cute photo props.

I sometimes do like Japanese drugstore brands like Kiss Me, heavy rotation, canmake etc since they are usually less pricey, and the quality is still there. It's very easy to just lose to the temptation and buy everything off the shelf, thats what I always do sobs.

I can't believe i met some familiar faces like Joey and Abby (from the japanese community), we took a short instavid together but I haven't received any from them so I will just wait quietly lol.

Anyway Choy Peng and I got a good spot for ourselves; I'm pretty impressed with how they arranged the tables. Each table was full of brand new Kiss me, Bifesta and Lucido-L products (not even opened yet!) for us to try out and use.

Look at all the new products on our tables!! The organisers were pretty generous and I love it :D They were also very considerate, preparing us with proper cotton bads, Q-tips, mirror, hair clips and bobby pins!

Plus a brand new comb for us :)

I didn't want to remove my existing makeup, because I was quite particular with my skincare routine and foundation. Just can't take accept removing all my makeup and skipping my skin care routine before applying makeup on my face all over again.

But I've used Bifesta makeup removers before, and they were one of my favourite makeup remover brands. I like the UV cream a lot !! Comparable with the ones I got from Japan. Bought one for myself after the workshop :)

Got this photo from Kiss Me facebook page, I look so serious trying and putting on the make up hahaha.

Did my brows with the brow palette, added on some black liquid eye liner and coatings of mascara. I do like the hair styling part of the workshop as well, love to try out different new hair styles.

Get to know some new friends too :D She has beaufiful thick hair, am sooo envious of her hair.

Tadaaa! I did this on my own! Am proud of myself hehehe (not to mention how sore my arms felt after doing this >__>).

Close up~

We had all the time in the world for selfies and more selfies :D Pretty sad they don't have lip products for us to try out though. I had to use my own lip color to complete the look.

There's this really cute wallpaper at the event space and we took loads of pictures there too.

Goodies Bag!!!~~~

They are selling the products before and after the workshop as well, so everyone can purchase them at a lower-than-retail price after trying out during the workshop. I bought myself a Glitter eyeliner (can be used for Namidabukuro - tear bag makeup), and also the UV suncream i mentioned just now.

OOTD: Green velvet Skirt Overalls with white blouse; pairing with my new balance sneakers. Photos credit to Choy Peng, love her photography skills.

Went for another beauty blogger meetup last Sunday as well, am probably gonna blog about it when I have more free time. Backlog is piling up >___<

Lolita Photoshoot at Maison de Julietta - Harajuku, Tokyo

2016-01-18T16:19:00.000+08:00

Just wanted to share my recent lolita photoshoot from my September Tokyo Trip (okay not so recent actually). I have had this shoot planned around three months before my September trip. After reading reviews from most websites/blogs, I have decided to try out Maison de Julietta Lolita experience photoshoot because they have quite an updated lolita wardrobe with good brands such as BTSSB, AP etc.

The staffs were really very friendly! Although speaking with them in Japanese would be better as their English is rather limited. The whole shoot took only about 1.5hours (I sorta speed up the process by using only less than 5minutes to pick my outfit and coordinates LOL, I had someone waiting for me >__>)

I picked a dress from BTSSB!!! A must pick brand for me because the dresses were always WAY too expensive for me, feeling happy to wear such a branded dress for photoshoot even though not owning them haha. I handpicked the blouse, socks and shoes to match the whole outfit, and am proud of my selection~ Makeup and hair do is done by the makeup artist from the studio, it took me quite some time to get used to this new look lol. I had to stare at the photos everyday to convince myself that I'm not looking weird. So please try not to laugh at this, and get used to these pictures the way I do hahaha.

Here comes the pictures! As all of you know, I'm pretty bad at poses, so just keep it light, the shoot is just for fun :)

See the hidden Alice Wonderland door? To be honest I did not realise it until after receiving the photos =___=. Really love the prints! Bears, chocolates and Red ribbons~ The mini hat looks super cute too. Why can't money fall from the sky sobs.

Full body shot with a violin case.

With BTSSB plushie Usakumya~

One of my favourite picture!

Shhh, please keep the secret~

Close up with Usakumya~

All my cute furry friends~

Thats all for today!~ Would want to go for another shoot in Japan again, this time at Kyoto I hope :D!

2. Go for Skydiving at New Zealand. - I know I have been raving about it since last year, but it's really someting I wanna do asap before I chickened out lol. Can't find a travel partner though .____. This is probably gonna be a solo travel.

3. Go to the Aquarium! Any big ones will do.

4. Go for more photoshoots, make myself a photobook at the end of the year.

5. More performances! More music jobs! - I made a point to take up more jobs year by year and so far I've done it :D 2016 Ganbarou!

6. Learn Swimming < this one...have been dragging for years, but I'll put it in the list this time

7. Climb the corporate ladder (faster!) and be awesome at work, more money!!

Dinner in the Sky Malaysia

2015-10-10T15:52:00.000+08:00

Two weeks past since my Dinner in the Sky experience at KL Tower, and I finally have the time to blog about this wonderful dinner. I was having team lunch and team bowling event that afternoon, and then rushed back to dress up for the dinner with my mum.

We went by taxi, and had a special encounter with this taxi driver who was pretty famous [he was the honest taxi driver who spent four hours in Petaling Steet finding the girl who left her phone in his car - I think it was popular in the news and social media]. Being drove around by a famous driver feels quite nice hahaha.

We took this shot once we reached the venue:

29th September 2015, definitely a night to remember :D

We were told to register our names, signed a non-liability letter and then get assigned to a table number. I think mine was seat number 8, a corner seat! Thereafter we get to have some complimentary beverage, we both took apple juice~

Took some photos at this backdrop while waiting for boarding, meanwhile my OOTD was a one-piece from LizLisa 2015 Autumn French Girl collection, and fur clutch from my recent Harajuku Takeshita Dori street travel.

After a while we were called by numbers and get strapped onto the chairs hahahhaa. The safety belts were pretty much secured but it sorta gave the trills since the chairs could turn.

Me getting strapped.

My mum who accompanied me for the dinner.

Crews at work! Chefs were from KL Hilton Hotel and there were some other staffs playing the musics and helped out on the safety briefings.

While waiting for the table to rise (I don't know what else to say haha), selfies! I don't know why, I felt that the selfies taken on land were all better than the ones I took on the sky =____=. Perhaps I was scared of dropping my cam/phone that my hands were shaking.

First course - Watermelon and Roma Tomato Gazpacho, Japanese Cucumber, Pacific Prawns and Extra Virgin Olive Oil Drizzle. This was served when we were lifted up slowly haha.

I was getting rather scared hahaha, but trying to take as much pictures as possible since this will be a lifetime experience etc.

Second course: Carpaccio of Organic Beetroot, King Island Goat Cheese, Toasted Hazelnut and White Balsamic. I personally liked this a lot. Love how well the cheese blending in with the beetroot.

We were not allowed to drop things from the sky, we may get fined or something I'm not sure about that. It took me a while to gather the courage to turn my chair (since i got the corner seat I get the most view), and shift my legs from the leg rest and leave it hanging.

I don't know why I find it super scary when taking this shot hahaha. We had to both turn our seats and I was worried my camera falling from my hands haha.

Petronas Twin Tower!

The other sky diners.

Third Course/Main: Slow Cooked Beef Fillet, Glazed Asparagus, Creamy Potato Mash and Thyme Jus. Loved the mash a lot! The beef is a little too chewy for my liking though.

Desserts: Himalaya Salted Caramel Chocolate Cremeux Tart served with Cocoa Nibs and Mix Berry Coulis. I liked this too! Love salted caramel, but my mum don't like this ><.

I was really glad that the haze condition that night was alright as compared to the other days. Sigh I wonder when this haze thing will be completely over.

My Favourite picture of the night!! It took me quite a while to adjust the angle to see the skyline behind us (since I don't really dare to look at stare behind).

Overall, I enjoyed this dinner a lot, not too much about the food since I've definitely tasted better, but I love trying out new things with my mum and spending time with her. I kinda have fear of heights (I can't stand being in the ferriswheel, cable cars etc although am trying to overcome it), so this dinner was really a whole new experience for me. We got to chat around with the other diners too! I wish we have more of these sorts of stuff coming up in Malaysia, more theme cafes too :D.

Gonna end this post with a picture of KL Tower taken after our dinner. See you guys soon!

39th Bon Odori 2015 Malaysia

2015-09-07T18:54:00.001+08:00

The reason why I blog about Bon Odori before AMG is because I haven't fully gotten all stage pictures from AMG yet .____. So whoever took our pictures please do tag us (the band page, my page, or my profile!) Thanks!!

Anyway, I went to Bon Odori with a group of dear friends last Saturday, too bad it's a wet bon odori this year (I heard the rain was heavier last year), but still had loads of fun! It was by far the most enjoyable one I've went~. Huge thanks to CR for picking me up from my house and sending me all the way home after the event. Anyway to avoid the jam we left earlier and reached the stadium around 4pm.

Walked one round looking at the food stalls, and grabbed seats at the stadium. Grabbing seats at the stadium in an early hour seems like a good trick to survive in Bon odori, but please please please remember to grab the middle seats instead of the corner seats because you will be drenched if it's raining. And yes, I was the one talking the most corner seats, and my entire outfit was sooo wet I could even squeeze out water from it lol.

We were smart enough to take tonnes of pictures (selfies!) before the ~~rain ruined my hair~~ it rains though! I'll start with my #OOTD #Yukata for the day. Bought this piece from a Japanese traditional kimono shop in Hokkaido. I really wanted something contrasting from the ones i had previously. My previous yukata was a nice pale yellow with floral prints, and I do have a red arrow pattern hakama. So this time I picked a dark blue one! The Hydrangea (Ajisai) pattern really bought me. I knew I just had to have it after one glance hahaha. Other floral patterns were water lily and some sakura.

Yay full body OOTD shot ^^

After waiting a while, my lovely band mates reached the venue too! Yay to The CrestFall! I'm kinda happy that almost all of us wore yukata, except for Daniel because he was having high fever ><. Half of me being happy that he joined the gathering, but half of me feeling sorry for his health.

Groupfies before the event starts/before it rains~

CR being Potong.

Now no more potong.

My lovely selfies with Joee!! Really miss you! And looking forward to work with you for the following weeks in September!

And of course, after sometime Sacchin and Erin came as well!

We were stucked under the shades for quite sometime, chit chatting about random stuffs and I love it~ It's just fun to hang out with friends and talk about stuffs, forgetting about work/studies =___=, leaving reality hahhaa. CR, Joee and Carlson went for food first, and then me, Sacchin, Erin and Daniel the second batch. But it rained again while we were getting our food...Managed to grab some juice and curry rice though! Although I really wanted my Takoyaki sobs...

This photo was to attract a certain someone for someone :D. I'm great at explaining.

We joined the second round of dance! Here's the stage area, where everyone dances around it.

The dance was fun! Although I'm pretty bad at it lol, took me around 3-4 rounds at least to get whats happening. Adam was super pro at it though!!! He can remember the steps!!

The ME after the dance.

Carlson and I after the dance. I like his yukata!

Quoting Carlson - The Edo pose (him) hahaha.

Big happy family photo!! Yay to all who wore yukata! Less photos with Taro, Taro's gf and Daniel because they did not join the dance. Taro was being all lovey dovey with his girlfriend, and daniel was sick T___T.

I'll end this post with my selfies!! I really enjoyed the day and the time spent with you guys!! Thanks for hanging out together~ We should do this more often hahaha.

My Happy red water balloon to match my outfit~

See ya in my next post!

Recent Performance/Events update

2015-08-26T11:03:00.000+08:00

Hello!~ Life has been pretty busy for me throughout August! Non-stop events every single week since the return from Hokkaido Trip, which of course leads to heavier schedules on practices, not to mention my day job and studies. This is probably gonna last till my Tokyo trip (yay~), but I think I'm just gonna be busier during September *cough cough*.

Anyway, what just happened in the past two weeks.....Ah right, Nijikai 2015 and VAX (Visual Arts Expo). Was invited as a guest performer at Nijikai 2015, and also the judge for the singing competition. Congratulations to the winner! and Thanks to all the contestants, you all did a great job ^___^.

my OOTD for the day:

Was trying to create a happy, casual look! As some of you may know, I rarely put on sneakers, so yup that pair was my newly bought New Balance, and I love it so much, didn't really wanna wear them out too often so I won't have to get it dirty.

Some of the selfies from Nijikai, didn't take much photos, but I did enjoy the event with the company of Sacchin and Erin.

Gotten some AWESOME loots from Nijikai too! I'm particularly amazed with the Free!! Nail art, although Rei wasn't my favourite character (I don't think I have any favourites from Free!! but I do prefer Rin lol). The booth only brought in Rei and I haven't seen it during my trip to Japan so better just buy it. And it's only RM10!!

I really love my Jiji (Mikazuki Munechika) poscard, the art is awesome. I'm currently finding a postcard booklet (I don't know if thats what you call it), so please comment or pm me if you know where I can find them. Other stuffs I bought are like, keychains etc, The Gudetama was from hokkaido lol.

Last week I was invited to join as a speaker by Johan for the Club la Uta ACG Singers Panel. That was my first time speaking in a panel (as opposed to all the solo speech public speaking I did), and to be honest it felt really nice and fun speaking and sharing a topic with friends with similar interest, goals and feeling.

The audience were good, attentive and did ask us questions so it felt really good as well. Hope that the topics we shared were helpful! We talked about our best stage experience, difficulties and challenges, the rewards and perks, and also tips to aspiring performers. So if you have missed the session or would like to rewatch, please visit the below link:

~CLICK ME!~

My OOTD:

For some reasons I have problem setting the brightness and contrast for the picture so just bear with me. Anyway I'm wearing my suspender skirt from Liz Lisa, really love the suspender strap details on the shoulders, feels like i'm wearing some sort of wings. I'm also using my new bag from Samantha Thavasa which I got from Hokkaido, should be Summer 2015 collection. It's a straw bag with a stripe of denim in the middle.

Another one with my sis, she's wearing her dress from Yumetenbou Japan, and sneakers from Cath Kidston.

My tag as a Panelist~

Last announcement: Our band, The CrestFall will be performing at the upcoming AMG (Animangaki 2015) Day 1 29 August 2015 11.00am.

Do come watch the performance~ See you guys there!

Last day at Sapporo food pic:

HUGE Nana Shokudon (seven coloured seafood don)

Sapporo corn and butter ramen

Pikachu Scrunchies from Pokemon Center Sapporo

All the cute stuffs, keychains~~The paper fan was in Shinsengumi design, and the gold sakura family crest was Nobunaga Oda's family crest.

My Sanada Yukimura Phone case, am using it now!

All the lavendar products from Tomita Farm Furano - Potpuri, lavendar candies and tea

All the facial masks I bought LOL. It's one year worth of products actually.

Zoom in for the special two masks - Hokkaido Corn mask and Lavendar mask

Accessories!! Hair scrunchies, pins, earrings, necklaces and bracelets. Necklaces and earrings are mostly from Otaru since they are famous with their glass products.

Three pairs of shoes this round! Grey slip-ons (with slight inner heels); Blue glitter Adidas walking shoes (with blue cloth ribbons) -- Japan Adidas never fails to amaze me; Green Blue checkered heels.

Bought one more extra Yukata for myself, Dark blue this time :D. This would be the third Japanese wear that I have (my Yellow yukata, Red arrow hakama). Come to think of it all of them are directly from Japan, not bad not bad. Am gonna hunt for more pretty Obi on my coming Tokyo trip, although my current Red Houndstooth Obi suits all my yukata designs, having one more don't hurt hehe.

My first Samantha Thavasa bag~ Sweet and pretty for summer ^^

Thats all for my two weeks plus Hokkaido trip!! I bought some clothes as well (around 10+ of them >___>, but in my defense I did tried my best to control the urge for buying more). Won't take picture of the clothes I bought because I prefer to post OOTD while wearing them haha.

Travel Post: Hokkaido July 2015 (Part 2)

I'll continue with Otaru, Asahikawa and Furano in this post, and then the final one in Part 3.

Otaru

Had the best sushi lunch once we arrived Otaru! It's no wonder that Otaru is famous for their sushi.

We went to shop for glassware and glass accessories (Otaru's specialty), and I bought like so many accessories I don't even dare to say it out loud lol. So much for self control. And of course tried out all the famous Otaru desserts like LeTao, Rokkatei etc while shopping.

Yummy Creme Brulee Tart.

LeTao Cheese Soft Cream!!!

Yummies at Rokkatei Cafe.

Croquette, Fried Potato and Potato Churros (i have never seen this before!!!)

The famous night view at Otaru Canal. Soooooo pretty!!!

We were soooo lucky that our travel schedule matches so many matsuri!! Our second Natsu Matsuri at Otaru was fun! So many people wearing Yukata and food stalls were everywhere!

The busy food stalls.

Otaru Beer!

After the summer festival, we went back to our hotel, and found out that our hotel has free special Shoyu Ramen for supper!!

Milk after Onsen bath~

Awesome buffet breakfast in Hotel.

We went back to Otaru Canal to take some Day shots before moving to Asahikawa.

Thats all for my Hokkaido Travel Post part 2~~ Gonna end the travel post in part 3 with Sapporo.

Travel Post: Hokkaido July 2015 (Part 1)

2015-08-06T11:03:00.000+08:00

As most of you might have known from my facebook and instagram/twitter, yup! I went Hokkaido for around two weeks (mid July - 1st August). Not going to do a detail travel post but gonna post some photos at least.

Anyway, did my hair and nails right before the trip! Gave myself green highlights for summer feel.

Summer themed nails:

Now the travel picture scams:

Before Japan (at Singapore)

Yummy dinner thanks to uncle.

First time had 6 flavors of TWG macarons at once.

Hakodate & Matsumae

First Lunch:

Unagi Rice

Omurice

Gyudon.

Famous Yubari melon + mix milk/melon softcream.

Dinner at Lucky Pierrot (apparently the best burger in Japan), I do think so too though, the burger is really soooo yummy.

Drinks are meh though.

The No. 1 in Japan burger.

Hamburger set because the burger alone wasn't enough.

Midnight Snacks.

Breakfast at Hakodate Morning Market before Matsumae day trip:

These were one of the best seafood don we had throughout the trip. I rank it No. 2, please do look forward for No. 1 hahaha.

Tickets to Matsumae Castle.

Had soba in Matsumae because the famous Matsumae sanshoku don restaurant is closed that day =___=.

Night scene at Mount Hakodate. Top 3 night sceneries in the world! Conquered!

Dinner at mount hakodate, having dinner while looking at the world top night scenes.

Goryokaku Tower

Ice Cream in the tower.

Lunch at Hakodate famous Shio Ramen shop Ajisai. Had to say Shio Ramen is my least favourite ramen flavor of all. Can't even finish half a bowl, but my family likes it though lol.

Almond dessert after lunch.

Noboribetsu & Lake Toya

Went into the onsen uncountable times for this trip hahaha, it's almost everyday.

Me + Yukata + Hakama

Our dinner getting prepared in our room.

Lol super extravagant dinner.

Zoomed in.

We were sooooo lcuky to have caught the local Noboribetsu summer ghost fireworks event (actually we were quite lucky throughout the trip because whereever we went it somehow landed on the festival day). And so, the ghost festival is about two ghosts (the red and blue), servant of the Hell King/God, dancing and praying for our health and safety.

Lake Toya day trip: we were very lucky to have met a super kind hearted old taxi driver who volunteered to send us around whole day with some charge (it's gonna be super expensive if he charged us by meter, and we wanted to use the bus at first, which means longer travel time and harder schedule).

In front of Lake Toya and Showa Shinzan.

Me on top of Usuzan, the lake behind is Lake Toya.

Had the Lake Toya famous Red Beef Curry Rice for lunch, with the Noboribetsu demon beer. Too bad the Blue demon beer was sold out, so we only tried the red demon.

Went to see the black bears after lunch, bear say Hi!

We went to Noboribetsu best foot spring (unexpectedly near our Ryokan). The spring water was very hot but our legs did feel better after the dip :D.

Second day dinner, different menu!

Thats all for Part 1! Will blog about Otaru and the rest soon ^^

MMU Japan Cultural Night

2015-02-13T15:12:00.001+08:00

8th January 2015

I'm happy to be invited to perform for Japanese Cultural Night, MMU (Multimedia University). Was invited to perform last year as well, but was having some schedule issues so I ended up not going. Am glad that this year everything is going well!

Anyway I went performing straight after work. Feeling kinda worried because I drove all the way to cyberjaya alone and we all know how awesome is my driving *cough*.

Met with the crews, the people there were soooo nice and caring >< Feeling all the love from the management. Met up with Miranda whom I've not seen for almost a year, she's so cute as usual. And her voice is just amazing. Wish I could sing with her one day!

Setlist for the day:

1. God Knows from Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu

2. Kimi wo Nosete from Laputa

3. Shirushi from S.A.O Season 2

This was a really small event, with not much audience (probably due to the heavy rain). But I'm happy to spend time with Miranda, the Harmonia members and also the crews!! Most importantly it helps me get my mind off work for few hours. It was during my quarter closing actually, sneaked out just to perform.

Thanks for the tag!~

Merry Xmas 2014!

2015-02-04T16:37:00.000+08:00

Spent my Christmas Eve night with the Escape Gang. We went to try the new Escape Ninja in Puchong, and feeling adventurous so we tried the hardest god level room, and failed obviously. Seriously the hardest we've been, impossible to get through!

Not going to write spoilers here so here's our group picture after the game ^^.

Forgot to add, new Escape Gang member: Chee Ren! He's CrestFall's new lead guitarist by the way.

Christmas day was rather calm and peaceful. Just a family shopping day at One Utama. Mainly was to buy my dad a pair of new working shoes as his belated birthday present.

Xmas lunch at L.Table! The christmas set was average, I prefer their pesto scallop pasta I had during my lunches hehe.

Mother-daughters trio. Pardon my bareface lol, did not have the mood to dress up/makeup properly.

Mum and I ordered a piece of cheesecake and our own drinks. While my sister took some random pasta I can't remember.

Dad's Xmas Turkey Main Course.

Sis's Carbonara (I'm just guessing coz the picture does look like Carbonara).

The not-so-nice Xmas set cake that I don't bother remembering the name.

My Boxing Day dinner was AMAZING though!! Thanks a lot to Peggie and Benjamin for the company~ And of course huge thanks to Benjamin for driving me all the way back home ><

Went to Acme Bar and Coffee, Troika for their Xmas menu. I have to say I really love the settings and decorations a lot! The lights are really festive and I'm glad I get to celebrate Xmas there (one day late though).

Benjamin had to order this Mac and Cheese because....he is currently a vegetarian lol. It tasted alright though; just feeling a little sad for him because the new festive menu at ABC is really really good (especially my order!!).

Peggie's erm...pasta LOLOL I tried to recall the name but I really couldn't, so sorry.

My Star Dish of the Day: Smoked Duck Foie Gras.

I have to say that this was one of my favourite dish!!! Top 5 in the list of best foods I've tried~ I enjoyed every bite of it and will definitely come back for moreeeee.

It was dark inside so pictures are mostly blurred haiz. I wrote down the detail for my dish though:"Tender Duck Breast, French Foie Gras on bed of Saffron pumpkin puree, baby kale, beetroot relish and cranberry rosemary sauce. Just typing this made me wanna go back ABC right now lol.

Happy me with my mains.

Me + Lovely Peggie~~

Trio shot! Seriously miss you guys a lot. Although we have had many shitty stuffs happening in our ex-co, but the three of us were always together throughout that 4 months and I miss that a lot. Couldn't find other colleagues that click so well with me anymore haiz..Miss you guys like crazy.

My two favourite ex-colleagues ^^.

Probably coz I was really happy and excited that night, my appetite was seriously good and I just won't stop eating =____=. I was feeling really hungry even after finishing my mains, Peggie and Ben were so kind to encourage me to order more and they promised to share with me so I could try out more foods hehe.

This is how they always pampered me during the 4 months we were together, thank you sooo much for always putting up with me!

Yummy Patate Fritte!! for us to share ^^.

For desserts we ordered this Cempedak Cake,

And also this Light-As-Air Pavlova. I'm fine with the desserts here, Just that their hot foods are sooo good (even the finger foods!) that it kinda overwrites the desserts haha. Peggie love the Cempedak cake though.

Really really wanna go back again for the good foods ^^. We made sure to take some photos after our meal because the xmas decorations there was super pretty. Too bad the lightings was kinda dim, so it's rather hard to take good pictures sobs.

My OOTD: Fur Collar Leather Jacket (frm UK) + Cat pattern Maxi Dress + Burberry Blue Label yellow sackbag.

Love the photos! Will call both of you out again real soon, probably after/during CNY. Meanwhile trying to think when to return to ABC, will trying asking if my parents are interested~

Food post: Closing/Ultra Busy Period

2015-01-30T11:58:00.000+08:00

My work partner (Kubo-san) and I were actually feeling quite grim before our closing starts, mainly because our closings were always quite horrible, to the point that we only have 1-2 hours of sleep daily for about a week. After that it gets better, but we still need to hang on for about half a month before we could totally get a rest.

So what we did was, to make a point to at least try finding the time to eat relatively decent food to make up our mood lol. Although most of the meals were bought back by my team leader (thank you soooo much!!) because we don't want to waste a second leaving our work. BUT! We did managed to grab some nice food and took an hour break for some of the days so this considered a great improvement for us ^^. And we did survived the HORRIBLE closing yayyy~~

First was at POKC cafe, I think it's supposed to be a Hainanese style cafe, but with some western fusion. Had this with Kubo-san because it was a Monday and the Udon place (Arata) that we wanted to go was closed, and The Pie Thing was closed as well.

Both of us ordered the same thing: Grilled chicken chop with Cheese. It tasted okay on average ^^

Managed to try out the famous Arata Udon the next day!! The Udon here was really good and has the closest taste to Japan, no wonder it's Kubo-san's favourite ^^. The chef here was a Japanese as well.

We ordered some Dashi Tamagoyaki for sharing:

It was good but I prefered the one at Watami. Here comes the star of the night!! Tadaaaaaa Mentaiko Salad Udon!!!! This one was Kubo-san's favourite, and mine too. Udon were cooked just nice and not overcooked, and the mentaiko portion were quite generous hehe.

Most of the days, my team lead Zalman-san helped me and Kubo-san to buy back some food for us, stuff like Mc Donalds, Carls Junior, and Chicken rice shop etc. Some days Kubo-san actually took the trouble to get me great food like this Teriyaki Chicken Omurice from Pasta Zanmai:

The Omurice actually tasted pretty good! especially when you are super busy and thought that you could only eat bad tasting fast food. Thank you soooo much to my partner Kubo-san and team lead Zalman-san for taking the trouble to take care of my meals. I can't thank you guys enough >__<. They actually tried their best to buy foods that I like to increase my appetite and not just cincai buy whatever they could for me. I was seriously touched and am glad that I have such good people in my team (as compared to those from other teams ergh, so noisy and less considerate).

One of the nights atfer my certification meeting, I was feeling really down (to the point I could cry anytime, but I tried my best not to la) and I don't even want to eat anything (note that I actually skipped all meals that day). Kubo-san saw that and asked me out to Nana's Green Tea Cafe; she said that having some desserts could make me feel better and it's better to have some time out of the job. So I did followed her.

Kubo-san ordered something from the new menu, Omurice! But the one she bought for me previously tasted better.

I ordered this! Warm Mentai Cream Soup Udon. It tasted pretty good, and I was glad that it's warm. Was feeling down and cold that time hahaha. True enough I felt much better after the meal.

We both shared a parfait because I don't think I could finish one by myself. I know I've said this repeatedly, but I'm really glad that I have her around. I don't know how she thinks about me, but I'm really grateful because I wouldn't have made it without her (as in emotionally). I was feeling really lonely and depress for quite some time, imagine having trapped in some work that you are forced to handle, and everyone shooting you during a meeting. I really wanted to run away and just breakdown during the certification but I just hang on. I do have friends from other teams and departments, but I was just so busy and I can't spend time with them. I don't want to talk about my feelings too deeply with my family as well. Ergh I feel like crying now while typing this.

Here's a picture of the pretty parfait to stop myself from thinking sad stuffs haha.

I do take some of my meals alone though. And when I do, it has to be great! One of it was KyoChon, the staff gave me free drumstick omggg. The KimChi fried rice at Ko Hyang is better though. Other than that, Chicken at KyoChon is always the best~

I went Menya Musashi for Ramen as well, but forgot to take picture hahaha. Went to Ma Maison for Tonkatsu too!! But forgot to take picture again ahem. Sign of old age???ARGH.

I do remember to take when I was in Watami though! Had my favourite Hotate Butteryaki and Mentai Cheese Tamagoyaki!!!! Great lunch hehehe.

Good food can really clear up my mood! Am going for more food hunting this year. Who wanna join me??

Mum's Birthday Celebration

2015-01-28T15:02:00.001+08:00

7-8th November 2014

As usual, I love planning for outings, especially for my family/friends' birthdays. I care about birthdays a lot and I think it's important to spend time with people you love to commemorate the special day to recognise and appreciate their existence.

For mummy's birthday this year, I've took a day off just to spend the day with her, and of course with my sis as well. Plan of the day: Breakfast/Brunch at Jibby & Co; Movie and a nice dinner~

The service at Jibby & Co on my mum's birthday was pretty good! We got a nice sofa seat, and everything went well ^^. Lightings were really good as well yay~

Groupfie of the day:

LOL many have been saying about my 'peace' sign. They are starting to follow my signature pose!!!

We went to watch The Cage, a movie made in Malaysia ^^. It was erm, average. The way they filmed it was rather unique, but still, there's still much room for improvement for Malaysian actors. Well done though!

We booked Nosh Bangsar for dinner at first, but due to the rain and jam, we simply dropped by a nearby restaurant Colliseum for dinner instead. The dinner was pretty lousy by the way. One of the worst I've had in recent months.

Dad's happy face and his sizzling steak:

And the other sad food.

OOTD: Pink top with Denim Overalls + Burberry Bluelabel Furry Leather Tote

The lousy dinner at Colliseum was rather saddening, so we booked a table again the next day at Nosh, to celebrate mum's birthday dinner again~

And it was a great choice, we enjoyed our dinner there a lot. It wasn't overly pricey and the food there was okay. I'm more of a fan of their desserts!

My steak, Medium-Well. I preferred the one at Angus Steakhouse, but this was acceptable.

Dad's fish because he had steak the day before.

Mum and sis ordered the same thing, probably some Aglio Olio spaghetti with Crab meat.

Some photos:

The birthday Mummy.

The Parents.

The sisters. LOL am running out of things to write.

The average tasting dessert haha. I think it was some chocolate with peach or something.

THE. BEST. DESSERTS. EVERRRRRRR. I have to say, this is seriously SERIOUSLYYYYY GOOOD. Name: Valrhona Heaven. And it's seriously heaven.

I don't usually fancy Valrhona chocolates as I'm quite a fan of Godiva, but this one is really good. It's Nosh's star desserts I heard. You guys please go and try, I'm bad at explaining but this one is really worth it!!

Me with the best chocolate desserts in town!

Sis and I enjoying~~

End of the meal. Me + my wine.

Sisters OOTD: Floral dress for my sister; Floral Maxi dress for me ^^.

Just a side story before I end this post, I went for a game with my escape gang before the Nosh celebration dinner. And it was fun! Secret Lab this time hehe, really secret lab with lots of weird organs etc, lol no more spoilers.

And also, Thanks a lot to Melissa for the souvenir from Australia!!! It was sooooo cute!!! My Sebastian~

Halloween Celebration 2014!!

2015-01-28T11:18:00.001+08:00

26th October 2014: Halloween Escape

Last year's Halloween celebration was a blast! Even better than my birthday actually to be honest. Celebrated twice with the best people around! First one was Halloween Escape at Shah Alam Wet World with the Escape Gang! Managed to buy the RM28 Early Bird tickets ^^. Was really glad to go on the 26th October (Sunday) as there's less people compared to Saturdays/near halloween and it's drizzling so we didn't really have to queue much.

Ticket comes with free Sakae Sushi coupon! I just realised I forgot to pass them the coupon =___=. But I did not use them myself, still stuck in the pile of papers in my study room ahem.

My OOTD! Super casual for easy movement~ Cap and top from Hard Rock Tokyo.

We had our dinner at this Beef Noodles restaurant in Puteri Puchong. Sadly it was my first time even though I'm from Puchong lolol. Adam really liked the beef noodles and chilli here, and he sweated so much that it was kinda amazing haha.

At the venue before going in!

There were only very few ghost around, and we kind of recognised all of them hahahhaa, new buddies for Adam! But I have to admit that they were much more professional compared to the ones in Sunway Lagoon. The games were quite tough, or perhaps the time given was really little. The main game was really difficult, especially going through the long path of haunted house, quite tiring (and I broke by bag while crawling =___=; was screaming but not coz of the ghost, i was shocked that my bag broke LOL, it's a legend now). We managed to clear 3 out of 4 of the mini games, and failed the final main one. It was rather pressuring to try to think of the clues while getting scared by sudden screams and ghost popping up haha. Nevertheless it was really fun! Would definitely wanna go again next time.

Of course the 'must-buy' blood bag! People who have known me may know that I'm a fan of vampires, so I was kinda enjoying the look of drinking from the blood bag!

We took the trouble to drink our same blood type, to ensure smooth tranfusion. Le selfie with bloog bag!

Adam wanted to drink in a more....fierce and rough way LOL.

Bloog Bag GROUPFIE!!! From Left: Erin, Melissa, Me and Adam.

And now with our new supernatural/ghost friends: **Photos are blurred because it's hard to capture at night**

The grim reaper - The one who rejected Adam few times LOL.

Adam's best friend the chinese giong xi. This Giong Xi is really nice, he knew that we wanted a photo with him but the place he stood was really dark. So when we move to another place queing for the game, he actually walked to us just so that we can take this shot ^^

The prison ghost - we met him while going out after he removed his makeup hahaha. I recognised him!

There isn't much photos because...we were busy playing. Have to make our money worth! I'll definitely want to go again if there's something like this this year. I love my escape gang~

31st October 2014: Nights of fright 2

Went with my lovely band members (some of them).

Prepared some treats for my colleagues and friends this year! And bought this cute pumpkin sweet case to fill my treats hehe. The screaming shocked face was the souvenir from my mum, from Chiang Mai. Told Taro that I'll look like that throughout the event because i'm scared of ghosts haha.

Had dinner at Johnny Rockets!

Passion Fruit Milk Shake. Should have try those normal flavors like Vanilla or choc.

My order, Cheese Corned Beef fries. Shared this with Taro, because the serving was seriously huge.

My OOTD: I was a Neko (cat) that day! Neko Mimi+ Neko Dress+ Neko tights and Neko bag hahaha.

May not be visible but I was wearing a special Neko eyelash bought when I was in Japan. Wonder when will they be available in Malaysia. They were soooo cute!

The Many selfies of Me and Joee!~ Really love her hair color, was purple that time!

Group Photo! 4 CrestFallens and one Joee's friend (sorry forgot your name ><)

From Left: Taro, Me, Carlson, Joee's friend and Joee

OMG THE QUEUE EVERYWHERE WAS SCARYYYYY. So long that we missed some of the nicer haunted houses. But I'm glad I went with them, we chatted all night while waiting and it's still fun hanging out with them ^^

Some photos while waiting for our rides/attractions:

Next time if we are going, we will pick some other days other than Halloween day itself hahaha, too much crowd and so hard to move around! Perhaps going to Halloween escape, since it's so much more fun hehe.

The night parade was quite interesting though, at around 11pm.

The ending of the Halloween Nights of Fright 2.

Lastly a groupfie of us going for our final haunted house: (I love this photo haha, Taro looks interesting getting nearer to the screen lol).

Nijikai 2014 @ Pearl International Hotel

2015-01-26T10:53:00.000+08:00

6th September 2014

Super backdated post. Am working hard trying to clear all my drafts.

My first time performing at Nijikai! Whats so different about this event compared to the others that I have went is that...this is an event for Yaoi/BL lovers hahaha. Don't ask me what does that mean, it's kinda awkward to explain here, please search by yourself.

Stage pass!:

I went in with my sister by the way, she was helping me to record my performance. I have to thank the crews for preparing a nice area for us to rest and prepare before the performance ^^. It was a small and cozy event, and people there were nice and warm!~ I wish all events are like this, and I feel appreciated performing in their events~

OOTD: Denim Maxi Dress with White Martin shoes.

More selfies ^^. These pictures were taken in the guest/performers room, so these should be considered as behind the scenes photos lol.

Setlist of the day:
1. Romance Way from Okane ga Nai
2. Gore from side B Junjou Romantica CD
3. Ashita, Boku wa Kimi ni Ai ni Iku from Sekaiichi

My sis bought a new cellphone case! Only RM10 omg so cheap!! And it's Takano from Sekaiichi hehe.

I don't have any performance photos because the cam was used for video recording. And I still have not edit the videos =____= master of procastination lol.

Ending this with our loots of the day! Hope I get to perform for Nijikai again this year (2015).

Shirley Birthday Meetup

2015-01-24T10:43:00.000+08:00

2nd November 2014

Shirley is currently working at Seremban (previously at JB) so it was always really hard for us to meet up. Of course the best occassion is for their birthdays! Although I don't think they bother to celebrate mine lol, but I really took the trouble to at least try to invite them for meetups.

Anyway, we were on this tai-tai (wealthy ladies) theme because Shirley wanted to try out classy looking stuffs and to feel rich lolol.

First stop at Jibby! One of my favourite place for brunch ^^.

Chen Chin's order: Baked eggs. The hot chocolate drink behind was Shirley's order.

I think Shirley ordered Big breakfast (no picture); and I took my usual Eggs Benedict with Salmon. I can't seem to get out of the loop of ordering the same food over and over again =___=. We took like tons and tons of selfies that day! to make our time and money worthwhile. Mostly taken using their iphones, or my TR15 Selfie camera.

Me and my lovely eggs benedict! I just love the way the decorate the plate with Ikura and corns ^^. Both my favourite! And also love that they used hash browns instead of muffins hahhaa, less carbs (although potatos has high carbs too lol).

We move on to Loudspeaker Karaoke after the breakfast. I was at the backseat taking selfies most of the time because I realise dthat the lightings were quite good! Although hard to take without shaking haha.

No pictures during the karaoke session, but we used Chen Chin's Instax camera for many instant photos! I just love instant photos >< but it's kinda costly, especially the films. Plus I've burnt myself buying my selfie cam, so gotta live with it. Thanks a lot Chen Chin for giving me two pieces as a token. We had loads of fun challenging each other to make crazy faces haha.

**Bought this hello kitty frame from the shop outside Loudspeaker. The shop closed down few days after though. Photo blur coz....am snapping in the car and it was pretty unstable.

Last stop at Sunway Resort hotel having their tea set! To be honest the tea set was average at most. We have had much better tea sets elsewhere. But most importantly is the time spent together chatting and chill around without having to think about depressing stuffs which always revolves around us.

Lastly My OOTD: Marine theme!!~ Marine hat from Croatia, Thanks a lot to mummy for the souvenir ^^. Suspender flare skirt from Major Made, a taiwan fashion brand. "I Love my Band" T-shirt from Pepe London. White martin shoes from Top Shop.

New Year Resolutions!

2015-01-23T10:20:00.001+08:00

I know it's kinda late lol, it's already almost towards the end of January 2015 haha. I was really busy with work (quarter closing) throughout the first half of Jan, so busy I don't even know what is sleep. But I just want to make the point to at least write this post, because I have had a nice 2014 (not too nice la but there's still good things for memories), and I'm really looking forward for an awesome 2015!

Guest Night @ Guinness Anchor Berhad

2014-12-12T10:42:00.000+08:00

29th August 2014

I know right, this is some seriously long backdated post. I have cleared many of my draft posts and left around less than 10 to be completed real soon i hope! There's just too much things happening during year end usually.

So Adam and I got invited to Sayoko company's guest night at GAB. Twice every month, GAB staff could bring 2 guests each to enjoy the night at The Tavern, a pub in GAB ^^. It was one of the most memorable nights I had! Drinking all night trying out new beers (new to me but maybe not to the market lol). I have to say I learnt a lot about beers and GAB! At least I took note to differenciate their producers and distributors now.

Adam was kinda late that day, he was working in another area but took the trouble to pick me from home, how kind! Thanks a lot Adam. We went straight to the bar for some snacks and beers of course!!

Here's Adam ordering some drinks for us. We took Smirnoff Ice, Kirin and Strongbow for starters ^^.

Kirin was newly launched that time. There's new Strongbow flavors now, I wish to be able to go there again, this time with Erin included, it's gonna be so fun! But Sacchin has to borrow another staff guest quota though.

We took Tiger Radler as well! I personally like Smirnoff Ice (I had this daily when I was in Japan lol, strong supporter ya Sacchin), Radler could be a nice chiller, and Heineiken Ice. Strongbow was okay to me, and I don't really like kirin haha.

What else to do other than drinking and chatting? Tons of selfies and pictures of course!! Too bad the lighting is dim, so be prepared for slightly blurred cellphone pictures haha.

Sacchin's with her favourite Smirnoff Ice.

And the guy who is in love with my Casio selfie camera LOL. It was fun to see how many selfies he took. Example of him in action:

Results from my selfie cam:

I think he took quite good selfies! I'm better when others helping me to take haha. Lots of practice needed~

More pictures:

It was always jokes and more jokes, laughter and more laughter hanging out with them~ These are some of the stuff we did, eating too much snacks and then 'complaining' the chips:

Okay I tried, but failed haha.

Anyway really thanks a lot to Sacchin for inviting!! I'm already looking forward for the time we will be spending together soon~ I'm glad and fortunate to have such good friends around me ><.

Lastly a Groupfie~

Lolita Photoshoot (behind the scene) + Sayoko hangout

2014-09-22T10:00:00.000+08:00

26 July 2014

Two days outing with Sayoko~

Went Loudspeaker Subang with her on Saturday, omg the wide selection of Japanese songs!! We went overly high singing all the jrock songs haha. They even have some older jrock songs like Yokan by Dir en Grey omg. Yokan was probably the first few jrock songs I've heard when I'm young. Sayoko said the puchong branch has Preserved Rose and No pain no game though. GAH loudspeaker is really the best! It's cheap, their food is nice!!!(Redbox sucks badly on their food), and cool song selection~

Sacchin took this to show Erin hahaha. To make her jealous. So many Uta-Pri songs lol. I really like Savior of songs!!! And I started practicing on some screamo after the K session haha, really wish to perform Liar (One ok Rock) one day with my beloved band~

27 July 2014

Sunday - I had a Lolita photoshoot by Feito, Ikmal and Rais (who only joined us during the last hour of the shoot).

Thanks a lottttt to Sayoko who actually accompanied me throughout the shoot, and even spent her day with me choosing books (to spend off my 1Mbook vouchers) at Kinokuniya. I'm sure she was pretty tired and probably bored but she didn't complain and was with me the whole day, thanks soooo much.

Sis took this in the car. I really like this pic~ Too bad it's a little dark.

Brighter version. I like the darker one though haha, my expressions were better.

I'm proud of my lolita outfit by the way! This was my first complete Lolita outfit, Navy blue poker x rose print JSK, match with lace white blouse. I was quite worried that it doesn't suit me, or even worse, lolita fashion doesn't suit me. But it went well and I'm so happy I can pull off this look! I'm so looking forward to add more accessories and complete more themes for this outfit. And once I'm done I could move forward to try out other lolitas ^^.

The shoot this time was at Tokyo Pastry, Avenue K. The owner was nice enough to let us move around the decorations and furnitures for the shoot ^^. Although I do feel bad about occupying their space though, for around 4 hours (10am-2pm).

I'm gonna upload some behind the scene pictures for this post, and probably do a proper blog post later when I got the entire set of photos (gonna post the ones I really like ^^). Once again huge thanks to the photographers Feito, Ikmal and Rais for putting up with my inexperience in posing. I did my best during the shoot though~

Okay here comes the omake/sneek peek photos, enjoy~ **All photos posted here credited to AIO photography.

The pretty looking tea set. Only for viewing purpose though, not recommended for eating haha.

Ahh~

Playing with some antique camera ^^.

My mum say I look like minion in this picture =___=.

One of my favourite~

Lol zettai ryouiki.

Sacchin in the photo! They all said she's at her director seat. I wonder what trigger my laughter haha.

Three actual pics taken by AIO Photography (Ikmal):

I love all three! Realise that there's more sitting poses than standing, so there isn't many photos that showcase my entire dress =___=. I'm definitely doing another shoot (when my outfit is complete) in the future!! I'm pretty satisfied with the photos this round, there's around 10+ photos that are usable! Usually out of the entire shoot I only like around 2-3 photos max haha.

The photographers were kind enough to offer me more shoots in the future~ For example my music themed photo shoot (with different instruments), and traditional clothes (my favourite qipao), or fashion shoots ^^. Really looking forward for it to happen!

Sacchin wore a navy sailor themed blouse so our outfit kinda matched! We should have taken full both OOTD pictures though.

Melur and thyme

We rushed for lunch right after the shoot as the food in Tokyo Pastry is just '...'. Wanted to try out Harrod's Cafe initially but Sacchin prefer something heavier for lunch. We ended up with Melur and Thyme just opposite Harrods.

Sacchin's order was great! Carbonara fettucine with duck meat. The pasta was creamy and the duck was tender, I regretted so much for not ordering.

My beef foie gras burger. Meh...Not nice at all. The beef patty was dry, foie gras not nice also sobssss, and these were not cheap kay, wasted my money. Should have ordered pasta instead.

We spent around 2 hours in the restaurant, eating and of course, taking selfies haha. We took loads of them~ Not gonna post all la, quite impossible and you guys will be bored seeing us with the same poses over and over again.

Ok. Lima cukup.

We went to shop for books at Kinokuniya after our meal. Spent quite some time here coz I can't just make up my mind on what books to buy. Sacchin had to walk round and round the bookstore with me, soooo sorry!!

Ended up with two photography/modelling books, two business japanese books and one Zipper magazine ^^.

And then it's going home time sobs. Time always seems to go faster when we are having fun. We did shop a bit at Avenue K before taking the train back though. And Sacchin bought her Old Chang Kee finger food as dinner.

Thanks thanks thanks for everyone, family and friends for always putting up with my activities and spent their precious time with and for me~
