Tau Huay for dessert?

Hey guys.

Today's my OFF day! Finally!

It has been a crazy 2 weeks for me. Flying off for my own personal trip to Japan on the 3rd day of Chinese New Year; After touchdown in the airport and heading back home for a quick shower, I left straight for my event job and been working non-stop until about 12am everyday.

Tomorrow's back to work again though. Crazy schedules, lacking of enough sleep, but honestly, I'm really happy! I totally can feel like I'm living my life to the fullest! Anyways, tons of backlog post to do on this blog and as well as my ameblo. I try to keep them up to date on the same basis but apparently the OOTD on my ameblo is lagging behind by.. thankfully just one left.

If you follow my instagram, you'd probably find more of them there from my more recent ones. At work, I was able to dress up a little more but wearing the T-shirt uniform we're given. Plus points for this, because it's a fashion event, we can design and cut the T-shirt ourselves! Some of my colleagues are a natural at this shirt cutting thing!

I think it's really coincidence that just when I want to do more about fashion and do OOTDs, I got to work in a fashion event. Though I'm not doing the organizing or anything, I got to learn a bit on fashion and the different collections and stuff. For a moment during the tiny lectures on the collect of clothes we're selling, I felt like a fashion student. lol.

Anyways, one of the days when I ended my shift early with the rest of the morning shift people, we went for dinner and soybean pudding for dessert. A total bonding session for the "cool kidz".

One of the photos taken during the soybean pudding dessert session while waiting for the rest to come back with food. The one of the left is Crazy "Rawr" Apple and the one on the right is Super DoS Maggie. Of course, the one in the middle is me, red hat girl or the red riding hood.

I think what's really awesome is that we clicked really well. I suppose it's also because we had similar interest. And, we all converse in English! In the previous places I worked at, I wasn't totally in an English speaking colleague environment. Usually a mix of both Chinese and English.

This event being a Japanese Fashion event, I got to practice my Japanese speaking and listening as well. Oh yeah~ Happy and lucky me! (^^)


Yesterday, I got an email from my school in Japan. Almost everything is settled, even my dormitory is almost settled. I just gotta do a few more paper work! That definitely lifted my mood yesterday. I was so tired and was getting a little cranky, but thanks to that, my cranky-ness went back to zero!

I got back home last night and I received a letter to let me go collect my JLPT certificate. I'll head down on my next off day because I want to rest for the day being at home. I also need to unpack my luggage from last week. It has been left untouched for a week. At least I got all my dirty clothes from the luggage on the first day I got home from the trip. I can't imagine my clothes being in there for a whole week.

I still have so many things left to do. I hope I can get them done as soon as possible.

Remember I went to quite a few livehouses during my trip? I went to get their stickers as well. I'm going to stick them all over my laptop. haha! I'll post the photo on my twitter. Follow my twitter to get fast updates!! (^^)

I'll do up my post on my Japan Trip as soon as possible too!

OOTD #6

Hey guys, I'm already back from Japan, apparently even though I posted it twice on my FB and Twitter, I still have friends asking if I'm back.

Anyways, right after touchdown, I got to head off to work for this event called "Hello Shibuya Tokyo" that's the main reason why I haven't been tweeting or updating anything except OOTDs on my instagram.

This is the Outfit Of The Day on the 18th of Feburary. 18.02.2013


Head: Red Beanie, black frame specs
Top: Black star designed pink sweater
Bottom: Black mini skorts with tiny gold star prints
Shoes: Maroon platform shoes.

Skorts are basically shorts on the inside but looks like a skirt on the outside.
I love skorts! I think skorts are one of the best designs ever! I mean, for a person who seldom wear skirts, having this means I can be comfortable wearing my shorts but looking more girly as it looks like a skirt! :D

I got both the skorts and sweater at Harajuku. I think Harajuku is really my place to do shopping because their clothes are cheap and some clothes are really nice and unique! :D


I'll update again on my OFF day which is coming really soon. I can't wait for it because I'm really really tired. Bye.

OOTD #5

Hey whatsup.

I'll be heading back home from Japan later tonight.

This was my outfit of the day on 17th of Feburary. 17.02.2013

Wearing so red reminds me of Christmas! haha.
But really, I think wearing bright color clothes makes the person looks more happy and bright.


Head: Red Beanie, black frame specs
Top: Red over-sized sweater
Bottom: Grey loose shorts with black tights
Shoes: Maroon platform shoes.

I wore this to watch a live at Shibuya. I'll blog on that once I'm back.
Had so much fun during that live. Really unforgettable. haha.

For the sweater, I got it from an online shop late last year so I think it should be sold out by now. Their stuff gets sold out really fast.

I decided to curl my hair as well to look more lady. Curls and straight hair does give a different feel. It's kinda frustrating because sometimes I can't make up my mind which to do because I like straight hair and curled hair.

OOTD #4

Hey guys,

Sorry for not updating.
If you're following my twitter you'd probably know I'm not in town. I'm away on my own get away holiday in Japan alone.  So far, I'm enjoying myself.

This is my Outfit Of The Day on 16th of February.

I wore a black coat when I'm out since it's winter.
Looking at the clothes I brought in my luggage, it's mostly black or red. Oh dear. lol. Either way, I tired my best to match them up anyways. lol.


Head: Red Beanie, black frame specs
Top: American Flag brown sweater with a maroon star printed cardigan
Bottom: Grey loose shorts with black tights
Shoes: Maroon platform shoes.


I got the Cardigan from this Japanese brand shop called DipDrops. It's really comfortable and it's currently my favourite cardigan so far!

The rest are basically random buys I got from Japan last year in November. The shoes I bought it from this huge shopping mall located at Saitama called, "Saitama Laketown". Go google it! There are tons of shops there and many different brands like Liz Liza, Swimmer, can be found there as well. There is even Tower Records there! I like that place alot but it's kinda far and it takes quite awhile to get there. Previously my friend in Japan who lives in Saitama prefecture brought me there for shopping. At first I didn't think I will buy anything but ended up getting quite abit. haha.

I'll do another update on my trip once I'm back if I'm not too busy because I got another job at this event straight after I come back from my trip. Talk about hectic, but at least it can keep me busy and give me income for the time being. I still got so many things I have yet to settle!!


It has been raining quite a lot back home as well. Stay warm everyone! x

Chinese New Year!

Hey guys.

Happy Chinese New Year!!

I slept after having my dinner because I was feeling full and sleepy. I was lying on my bed having multiple conversations on the the LINE app and whatsapp app. on my iphone. I know this is something new because I usually won't be texting anyone at all.

I woke up like about 2 hours ago. Had my shower and my breakfast and here I am.
I can't believe I spent my New Eve just eating and sleeping. lol. Ahh.. But I did write on my twitter that today's plan was just to sleep. Alright, maybe I did fulfill my plans. yay! :D

My facebook and twitter and instagram is full of my friends writing "Reunion dinner!" with photos of their steamboat dinner or home cooked food. All of them looks so freaking delicious! So... I shall post one as well. Perhaps not as appetizing as theirs but it's really delicious to me and that's all it matters! haha.

My parents didn't buy cuttlefish this year. My mother told me the reason that cuttlefish is.. somehow like... if I were to eat it for new year, it's like I'll lose my job or have a hard time finding one. Oh my goodness! I don't want that happening. But I still want to eat cuttlefish though. Maybe I'll have it after new year. Gah~ Chinese and their beliefs.

But at least I still get to have my favourite sea cucumber! I manage to touch it when I was at the S.E.A Aquarium. It's so soft and squishy just like how it tasted. LOL. It's a must have for me when we have steamboat at home.

I can't wait for the sun to be up again so I can have steamboat for breakfast. I should cut down on the food though my stomach is alright now. I don't want to gain back the 1kg I just lost last week!! I gotta maintain. Why is Christmas and Chinese New Year so close to each other? All the food you get to eat and dine on is so sinful.

I don't know what to write anymore so I'll end here. lol. Bye.

PS: I'm trying out this tweeting in Japanese and translating it roughly in english on my twitter. Boy is it tiring. I can't make it totally similar though because sometimes it just doesn't make sense. But yeah, I'm trying my best. lol.

Students from Wakayama

Hey.

Been awhile since I had such busy busy days. Was really busy for the past 2 days with my other part time job.

I had fun being with students from Wakayama on the first day! They are all really cute and so youthful. lol.

I'm glad I was able to be more "myself" the usual Chisaki being all bubbly and all, without being worried how they were going to judge me. Usually, when I'm with people whom I met, I'll be all overly conscious and I would always try to maintain my image which probably totally wasn't even me. Like being all quite and feminine shit.

Honestly, all of those insecurities will just make everything even worst. Since recently Rei-san was being a good mentor and advising me stuff, I decided to take the dive and get out of that overly conscious me and just be how I would be with my friends. It all ended up really well. I think everyone should really be like that as well. I think it's the so called, "just be yourself" kind of thing.


Anyways, We hit it off really fast and we became like good buddies at the end of the day. When we're having lunch, I thought, "I need to say something or we'd be really awkward". Since Valentines' Day is around the corner, I used that chance to start a conversation which would get everyone interested. Which is asking if they had a boyfriend or someone they like.

The 7th of Feb, it was with the students from Wakayama, we had a mix group with girls and guys. I got a chance to mingle with both the girls and guys because when they were shopping, they requested to have their own free time to walk around since they had different things they wanted to buy and meeting up later after and hour and a half. So basically I got to know the whole group of students at the end of the day.

I didn't take much photos with them from my phone though so I'm waiting for them to send me the photos from LINE. I'm a huge fan of the LINE app. I think what's better than whatsapp is the cute stickers they have and the "free call" function. Coolest shit because you can tell people, I made a phone call all the way to Japan! haha.

So, after the job, I met up with my friend who just came back from New Zealand for dinner and he said he got a souvenir for me. He got me a mini Kiwi bird plush toy where you can press the it and it will do this chirping sound. Real cute! At first I thought it was a dodo. I was like, "Oh! You got me a dodo! So cute!" Oh but it's a kiwi. LOL. One thing in common about this 2 bird is that they both can't fly. So I guess that's how I mix them up.

We had dinner at this restaurant called HIFUIMI. The prices are afforable and they have this drink bar for free flow of drinks and you get to have their appetizers as well if you order a set. We didn't get to try it because I was rushing for time. Huge sorry to my friend for the last minute changes in schedule.


This is what I ordered. I was so hungry because I didn't have anything for lunch. I just had orange juice. I finished everything on the plate! I was so hungry.



★☆★☆



I woke up today around 1pm. Got an awesome sleep. Had steamboat for lunch earlier on because it's Chinese New Year Eve!! I love steamboat, it's like your own buffet at home and you can cook all the seafood you want! I can't wait for dinner for round two. It's raining really heavily now, so I suppose tomorrow when everyone is out visiting, the weather would be really really humid. Good luck to those going visiting because I'm skipping this year as well. I'm not exactly skipping, more like we can't because my grandma passed on last year and it's not 1 year after the funeral yet. According to the Chinese belief and stuff, we can't go visiting when that happens. It's like we'll bring bad luck to the others or something.


Means I can sleep all I want this New Year!


Happy Chinese New Year Eve to everyone. Have a awesome time visiting your relatives! :)

Rockin' Heaven

Hey guys.

I thought i let people in with my otaku-ness. Though I think almost everyone knows this though. lol.

I use to be pretty otaku with all the anime and mangas. I even took up cosplaying and into the lolita sub-culture for about 2 years. My cosplay wasn't good so I thought I'd give it up. The time when I didn't know much about makeup and stuff but tries my best to do it right. I'm still not very good with makeup but I think I know much more about it than before. lol.

Anyways, so since recently I've been pretty otaku-ish, I've been catching up on mangas and animes. I think i mentioned it previously where I watched a few otome game made into animes. I'm still watching "Hiiro No Kakera" 【緋色の欠片】. But I'm into season 2 now and I'm completing the series very soon!!

I just completed another shoujo manga. I'm a HUGE fan of shoujo mangas. I can't get enough of them. But I'm very selective with the plot that I read. Sometimes, it's just the artwork that attracts me.

This Shoujo manga is called "Rockin Heaven" 【ロッキン☆ヘブン】. The female lead is really cute! The storyline isn't the really fantastic but I like how simple and straightforward it is. Some mangas are just hella draggy. It's a typical, slice of life, highschool romance and friendship sort of manga.

If you're interested, please go read it. Read it to kill time as well! haha. It has only 8 volumes so basically it isn't draggy and the love story gets straight to the point. Everything was pretty clear cut.

This is Otaku Chisa signing out. :D

Feeling a little better now.

Hey whats up!

I'm feeling a lot better as compared to yesterday. I still can't eat much though my appetite is back.

Last night wasn't a pleasant sleep. I woke up after one hour of sleep and about 5mins of rolling around in bed because I wasn't able to sleep. Probably because I took an afternoon nap yesterday. Too much sleep for me in a day. So I got up at around 3am and started writing on my ameblo blog and writing down what happened in those 2 days when I did not write anything. When I'm tired or sick, my brain can't exactly function in so many languages at once. My languages all together aren't that strong anyways.

Basically it's some boring stuff so I won't do a translation here. Unless people want to know then probably I will.

Even though I was sick the other day, I was out so I had to put makeup because I was going for a job interview. Yeah, talk about bad timing. Since I don't up makeup that often nowadays, when I do put makeup, I would camwhore for keepsakes though end of the day only a few would ever make it online on my personal facebook.  Yeah, this was overexposed I think because I was infront of my laptop when I was taking a photo thus the overexposed photos.

Anyways, I'm planning to do up vlogs of and perhaps OOTDs on my youtube instead of making it a dance cover youtube channel because looking back at it now, I think I really suck at dancing. lol. I still enjoy dancing though. But I'll probably just put it up as unlisted and only those who has the link is able to watch it. But I'm going to do that after I got new things to upload though. I mean, I don't want to waste the efforts of my friends helping me to take a video of it. Yeah, so go subscribe to my channel!!

I personally think doing Outfit Of The Day (OOTD) is pretty fun. I mean, people can't exactly judge you on what you're wearing right? Yeah, I'm scared of people judging me so I'm usually pretty self-conscious of myself when I meet new people. I can't help it! But, I'm trying to get out of that because being too self-conscious does has it's negative side. Oh wait, it's totally negative!!

First thing to solve it is to come out of your comfort-zone. I think it's very important to challenge ourselves to do greater things. Not only after accomplishing it would make you feel awesome, it will make you a stronger person as well. At least that's what I believe in. :)

Did you know, 2nd February is officially called, "TwinTail day",  【ツインテールの日】! I got to know about it from Mr DannyChoo's twitter. What else can we expect from Japan? haha.

I posted a photo of me in twintails that was taken last year in twitter after seeing that tweet. I want to join in too!

I'll do a translation though my Japanese may have mistakes. lol.

2月2日は「ツインテールの日」だった！ちょっと遅いけど、私もツインテールやります！はい！恥ずかしいけど、これはツインテールチサキです。（笑）→ pic.twitter.com/KgnXbBKp

2nd of February was TwinTail Day! I'm a little late, but I will do twintail too! Yes! It's embarrassing but this is TwinTail Chisaki (Chisaki in Twintail). (laughs) → pic.twitter.com/KgnXbBKp

Have an awesome Sunday. It's pretty chilly today due to the rain. Stay warm people!!

OOTD #3

Hey guys.

This is my Outfit Of The Day on the first of feburary.

Since the weather is pretty humid yesterday, I can't wear anything too thick.

Head: Red beanie
Top: Maroon loose top 
Bottom: Black cotton tapered skirt
Shoes: Black platform boots.


I've decided to go with that skirt because I had to go for a job interview so I reckon those kind of skirts would make me look more mature. The loose top would be an exchange for the usual T-shirts I love to wear.

I'll be doing my Winter/Autumn outfit of the days in the coming weeks to come.
Maybe I'll post up my previous Autumn looks last year as well. Please look forward to those.



I'm current sick and down with gastric re-flux. I'm going to be staying in for the weekend to recover. Sorry to have made everyone worry. I've seen the doctor so I should be up and running the next week. :)



Cheers!

Hello February!

Hey what's up, February!

Can't believe it's February already! The best way to start off a new month is to get sick! Well, no, it's one of the worst way and I just had to be the one.

Well, but I don't usually get sick so I guess I can't help it. I'm down with very bad sore throat. But I still can talk, thankfully. It's just really painful, like a burning sensation every time you swallow. Eating is alright, but lying down and trying to sleep is really horrible.

That would explain why I'm up so early today. I try to sleep early last night, around 11.30pm. But it was so difficult to sleep, but somehow I managed to catch a few hours of nap and end up waking up at 3am in the morning because it's just too much for me to take. I got out of my bed, drank a bit of water and tried to sleep but failed miserably.

I ended up sleeping in the living room on the wooden "sofa". It's not the most comfortable but it's right in front of my god's pray altar so I feel somewhat "blessed" or "protected" so it's probably one of the best place to sleep as well. lol. I'm pretty much a free thinker, but I do respect my house god a lot.

I managed to sleep while having a strepsils in my mouth while I sleep for another 1 or 2 hours before waking up again feeling like trash. I decided I should stop sleeping because just lying down makes me feel like trash. No offense to trashes but yeah. I got my mom to cook for me some instant noodles for breakfast before she heads off to work. (yay!)

Have you had any idea how many strepsils have I eaten since yesterday? I think about 6 or something. The quickest way I can think of to sooth the burning feeling in my throat.


Anyways, I got my results online for my JLPT4 and I aced it! Triple A! Well, it's pretty easy to pass and really kind of difficult to fail it anyways so sometimes the JLPT doesn't really proves your Japanese language standard. I know of people who got JLPT5 (the lowest) and ends up speaking like a local. Just because they didn't take the exam. (wth!) lol.


Also, I got my hair dyed to a darker brown. My hairstylist didn't want me to get a total black hair color because she doesn't want me to have trouble dying my hair in the future. So, my hair is currently black but it's going to fade in a few weeks' time to a darker brown. But for now, it's like totally black and I'm loving it! As usual, she blow dries my hair into a perm. She really likes me to have a perm yeah? Thanks to her, I got my perm hair last year when I didn't even think I'd ever going to curly hair ever, in this lifetime. lol. Yeah, I like her a lot. She knows how to cut my hair as well. I can't imagine anyone else cutting my hair!

This is how my hair looks like right now. My apologies but I don't have any makeup on so I closed my eyes in this photo. I'd probably look like some shagged kid out there if I were to open my eyes.

I don't care if I look younger in black or darker hair color anymore. I mean, I got to treasure my youth as much as I can. lol. I'll just go shopping for clothes that are a little more mature instead of the usual T-shirts which I love wearing. Nothing beats T-shirts okay? I will love T-shirts forever.

I will post more OOTD soon. Don't intend to do any fashion blog thingy but I like to share what kind of clothes I wear. Mainly because usually I don't have much to show anyways, so when I do and I think it's good, I want to share!! haha. Also, the fact that my fashion isn't particularly any style or genre. It's just a mix and match of whatever I see comfortable and makes me look slim or taller. LOL. Those 3 factors are very important to me. lol. Comfortable, Slim and Taller.


And.... Follow my instragram for photos that you'd probably won't see anywhere else.
And.... Follow my twitter for quicker and random updates.


That's all for now. Bye!
Let's have an awesome February, shall we? :)
