OOTD #8

Hey guys.

I know I have still a few days worth of post left for my trip in Japan in February but I think I'm going to leave it. Since I'm going to be here for the whole year... haha.

 Anyways, it has been awhile so I'm going to post another Outfit of the day post! I has been awhile hasn't it? Well, so far the weather has been pretty awesome at 17 degrees.

I'm doing spring coordinates this time round and I still remember the shops where I got the clothes so rejoice! haha. :)

Bottom: Indigo shorts (Japan @ Harajuku, Wego)

Shoes: Red Platform shoes

Spring this year is pastel colors. My favorite pastel color definitely has to be Pastel Green. It reminds me of mint so it gives me the refreshing feeling. That's just me though. haha.

Yay for spring! Sakura trees everywhere too!

Night Sakura

Hey guys.

I have safely reached Tokyo Japan!! :)
I've got my Resident card and I'm like officially a student! The card looks really cool though. Never had I imagine that I'm ever going to have another ID for another country.

School doesn't start until April for me so I'm currently pretty free in the meantime. I'll write briefly on what happened today and yesterday...

So, yesterday I was busy hanging out with my bestie, Shizuka. She was in town for a short holiday. Finally we accomplished our wish of going overseas together. Though not exactly but we're currently overseas together!

Anyways, the first meal I had was some Yakiniku Don （焼肉丼）from this shop called, "Chikara Meshi“（チカラめし）. It was awesome!! I ordered another additional salad because I love the salad! Especially the corn.

I spammed my food with the chili powder though. So far, that's my only source of spicy-ness I can find for my food. I can't believe I chose to stay in a country that usually don't have chili sauce. Even if they do have anything like "spicy ramen", it's way to spicy for me to eat. It's like 10x the spicy-ness of how a usual spicy level.

The first day was really a day full of eating. I really ate a lot one the first day because Shizuka kept saying that she was hungry. Well, of course, I was tempted. I can't just simply watch while that person eat. I would want to have a bite too.


Today, it was a day out to Harajuku and Shibuya. Well, I went to Harajuku was mainly because I wanted to do some praying at Meiji Jingu Shrine. Yeah, it's my usual routine though it was a day late. Mainly because this time I stayed somewhere further away from the Ikebukuro side of the Yamanote train line, I can't afford to travel as much because I need to save on the transport cost! So, I went with Shizuka and Sir to Meiji Jingu shrine to do some praying and we explored a little at Harajuku. I bought a shorts from the "Wego" shop at Harajuku and had this really big Takoyaki at the shop just beside. This huge takoyaki is a recommendation from Shizuka and I honestly do recommend it as well. It's located beside the "Wego" shop, at level 2.

Then, we headed to Shibuya afterwards to walk around. Since I was with Shizuka, without a doubt, we'd do a little shopping. It wasn't intended but you know... I bought another sweater. I'm so in love with sweaters, I can't get enough of it.

Then we headed off to Shibuya's Tower Records. There at the 2nd floor, there is a Tower Records Cafe.  It's really nice to rest and chill. The environment is totally perfect for chilling. I want to go back there again for chilling. But the price for the drinks isn't worth it though. Ah.. but the omu rice that Sir ordered is pretty delicious.

Sir had to leave for his meeting somewhere else so we parted our own ways. I was with Shizuka for the rest of the night. This time, I wanted to explore the other side of Shibuya instead of the usual side where the big crossing is. I just wanted to take a look at the area. Since it was night time, we wanted to see some Night Sakura, which we totally did! I even took pictures with it. Though I don't look extremely excited in the photo. But it is really pretty.

Next, we wanted to go to Ueno Park to see more Night Sakura but it's a little far from where Shizuka is staying so we decided not to. We ended up choosing Yoyogi Park. But when we got to Yoyogi station, we got off at the wrong exit. We didn't want to waste time to find the other exit and find out the way to the park, we decided to walk to Shinjuku since it was really nearby. Taking the train wasn't even needed. We manage to reach Shinjuku from Yoyogi station in about 5mins ~ 10mins. Really awesome.

We went to Tokyu Hands and Shizuka did a little more shopping though she already overspent her budget. I bought some dog food to send back home to my little pet dog BB. I was told when I left, he cried. Not sure how credible the source is but I really teared when I received the news. I'm really weak with animals, seeing how close I am with BB and as well as he usually looks so happy. I can't imagine him crying! (T^T)

Then we slacked at the nearby Starbucks at Shinjuku. I love starbucks. One of the best place to chill as well. As usual, I ordered my Macha Frappuccino to share with Shizuka-chan. We're both really poor... lol.

We went back shortly after. Tomorrow will be Shizuka's last day in Tokyo and I'll be left alone with Sir. Soon, it will be just me. Not looking forward to it so I'm going to treasure the accompany I have. I'm planning to go to a live house on the 27th next month. 2 bands that I'm really interested in. But well, I still have to see my schedule.

I'm going to head to bed. It's really really late here. I wanted to finish writing so as to update you guys on how I'm doing. I don't want people spamming me asking if I'm doing fine because I am doing fine so far.

There is a reason why I opened this blog and kept my twitter public for a reason. Good Night.

New Journey

Hey guys.

I know I've been neglecting my social networks for the past week. Though I say that there is a sudden change in my life, I think that minor change is going to be permanent for awhile. lol. :3

Anyways, I was out on Saturday to attend my dear friend's ROM from Secondary School. I was waiting for my other friend thus being late for the whole solemnization. I really dislike to be late on important functions such as this. I mean, if it was my own, I would want everyone to be present and on time! Either way, Congratulations on getting married. Honestly, I didn't expect anyone from our clique to get married so quickly. It was my first time in a long while wearing a full dress as well. Not to mention that it was Pastel themed! Thank goodness I had some pastel colored clothes in my closet.

After which, I met up with some of the people of "Cool Kidz" for lunch and it was also a mini farewell for me. But honestly, like what Thessa says, "who has lunch at 3pm?" lol. I guess only the cool kids have lunch at 3pm? There are still quite a few people who belong to the "cool kidz" group but we're the few who were free on this day for the gathering.

Stella, Me, Apple, Thessa and Sherman.

After lunch we slacked around and talked and had drinks from this Korean supermarket located at the basement. I honestly still cannot believe how close we became. It's like we're from the same school or something, but we're not. We're like people who came from different backgrounds and coming together being so close in just 3 weeks while working. Honestly, I'm really really glad to have met them before leaving. What awesome people!! :)

So, Apple introduced a few yummy drinks from the Korean supermarket to us. I got the cinnamon and Sherman got the Pear flavored by mistake. I didn't really like the taste of cinnamon so I exchanged it with him since he really like cinnamon. But you know, I had to pose with the drink.

Yummy yummy. :3

Initially, I wanted to post on twitter and say that I'm in Korea or something but decided not to. lol. Crazy thoughts~ haha. Been learning some Korean culture from my friend because she teaches us some things about it once in awhile in our conversations. I think it's interesting to learn about other countries culture once in awhile.


So, I've been really busy on Skype for the past few days. lol. :3
Those who know why I'm on skype recently, good for you. Those who don't, you'll have to wait until I want to tell. hahaha. 25th❤

I'm flying off tonight so I'll see you guys at the airport. I'll update again once I reached Japan.

Darts anyone?

Hey what's up?

Been busy heading out recently. Then that's also when I realized that having a car is so convenient. lol.

Also, I've been eating a lot recently. Eating quite a lot of supper recently. I haven't been watching my weight as I wanted to. Well, somehow or rather there is a sudden change of course in my life for the past few days. But it's all back to normal now. :)

Anyways, so I just checked my weight and I gained a total of 1.5kg. :'(

I know weight don't totally represent fat gain but yes, I can feel the fats rolling around my waist. I need to get back to Japan. It's the easiest way for me to lose weight. Either way, I'm cutting down on carbohydrates in the night, starting from... tonight.

I've been playing Darts recently. Not recently but I've tried playing darts for the second or third time. Once you get the hang of it, it's pretty easy. Just aiming would need training. I even got bulls eye for quite a few times! 

Lookie! I got a bulls'eye. Beginner's luck I might have to say? :D 

You might not believe it but that's one of the shots I got. Didn't think I'd actually get it though. Must be some real strong beginner's luck! haha.

There are quite a lot of darts bars around recently. Or have they been around just that I don't know about them? lol. Must be the latter.

And, I know there are still quite a few people who wants to meet up with me but I'm not free anymore this week. I'm leaving Sunday out to do final packing of my luggage if I need to, if not it will be a rest day for me. Tomorrow I'm pretty packed as well. Actually, I'm totally packed. lol. I have to be out in formal pastel dressing for my old friend's ROM and afterwards, I have to wear that to meet up with my other friends. It's so embarrassing to be meeting people wearing so lady like. lol. Well, that's for me.

Oh yes! And I've finally got my Student visa! I've got my hotel booked as well for the first few days before moving into the dormitory on the first of April. Everything was such a rush but I manage to get everything settled. Achievement unlocked! haha.

I'll go back to finish my lunch and do my packing of my luggage. I'm removing more clothes from my luggage to reduce the load. If I need a winter jacket this coming November, then I'll buy one. I still have to survive summer, which I'll probably not.

Awesome weekend!

Hello!

I just went to the Japan Embassy to apply for my student visa. I can't believe it's all really happening. I can't wait to get it collected. Hopefully it gets processed successfully without any problem.

Anyways, I was busy helping out at the merchandise booth for the SCANDAL Asia Tour 2013 concert. I am very glad that most of the merchandise was sold out. lol.

So, when everyone was inside watching the concert, me and the merchandise team was finding ways to entertain ourselves outside at the booth. Geri and I were talking in our aussie accent and irritating the rest of the staff. We're awesome like that. :P

Big thanks to the all management team who brought Scandal over for the concert and the fans who bought all the merchandise and concert tickets, making this event a successful one!

I can't write much because basically there wasn't much happening though I was busy the whole day. You know, the usual stock take and clearing up the area after the event. lol. What's there to write right?? Maybe if it's a video it'd be interesting, but there is none. lol.



Here's how I look on the second day of the concert. The hat does not belong to me, but it's really cute isn't it?! Thank you kitty for lending me the hat! (^^)

Lighting isn't good there and... I need to get my fringe trimmed. it has been a full month full of busy schedules that I can't find a time to head down to the hair salon. But I'm finally going to go to my usual hair salon for a trim. The last time my hair stylist can cut my hair. Only she knows how I want my hair to look like! Gonna miss her.. She's the one introduced me to curls and helped me dye my hair to natural black instead of the really black sort of black.

Now, I'm going to head out again for my facial session. My skin is practically calling for mama! It has been a long time since I've put makeup for all the days straight 1 month! I really wonder how some people are able to do it but still having awesome skin. Isnt' it irritating?! haha.

PS: I'll be flying off in a week's time. If you want to know the flight details, please PM me on fb, whatsapp me, text me or LINE me. :)

Another 10 days left.

Hey guys.

Even though I've been writing my post as per normal, but to be real honest, I'm really kind of stressed out. Ever since I went to Japan in February for my get away trip and finding out what I really wanted to do in life. Though I'm not sure whether I'll really succeed but I think it's more realistic than my first choice. But well, who knows what may really happen in the future.

I haven't really got time to rest properly, like.. slacking at home without worrying about anything or without a schedule waiting for you to complete.

I know I mentioned this before in another post but I'm going to write it down anyways so this post actually flows. After I landed back in Singapore in the morning, I took a cab back home and do some unpacking and showered and left for the event job. I remember the first thing I think of when I was in the cab on the way home was, being so thankful that the cab fares in Singapore are so much more affordable than in Japan. I haven't actually taken a cab in Japan but I heard from my friend that just a 20minutes distance can make the fare up to $100. And you seriously don't want that, now do you?

Then from then on, I've been working for 3 weeks straight and in between my off-days, meeting up with people and doing some other errands for my coming trip end of this month. In Feburary, I still can't do a lot of things as one of the most important things isn't confirm either. The event just ended 4 days ago and just in 4 days, not being able to really confirm my things made me so stressed out. I wish I can do it all quickly but then I can't because it's not exactly a one man show. Certain things still have to be processed and that takes time.

So far my school fees and dormitory fees are settled for the first semester. At least that is done. I'm still waiting for the final documents from the school so I can go apply my visa. I don't know how I'm going to do all this because I'm pretty much an idiot in a lot of things. Everything is all like a first experience for me. I really don't want to mess things up. My flight is pretty much confirmed. I'm going slightly earlier than planned though. Gosh, the air ticket is bloody expensive.

Honestly, until now, I can't believe this this wait for 2 years is finally coming. From just a plan and dream into reality. Really something I cannot imagine. Perhaps when I really get my visa and be on the plane, the reality will really hit me. It's really scary to be honest. Though no matter how many times I tell myself "it's coming!", but it's not really getting processed in my head. I haven't been having meals and the right time nor sleeping at the right time. I'm growing fat at this rate. Which I believe I totally did. Pictures can be deceiving. lol.

I'm starting to miss my friends already. I don't think I have time to meet with everyone either, so let's skype, whatsapp, LINE, twitter or facebook. lol.

Before I get my own Japan phone line, I'll still be using my sg number for internet access. So, I'll still be contactable. But then again, I'm always contactable. Just that when I'm busy, my phone is pretty much thrown somewhere else. haha.

I still have to go for a trim before I fly because my hair is getting so messy. Talking about messy, I went out today looking like a total hobo. Or at least, I think I look like a hobo. I had to head to the bank to get my ibanking token done. The person was so kind to help me expedite it after I told her I need it before end of this month so I can do my ibanking stuff when I'm there. Oh gosh, never ending work to do before I can settle down. Just thinking about it makes me feel like total crap.

I paid my library fines as well. I was nerdy enough to borrow books and miss the due date. Oh well, I still need to find a library in Japan that has English books to feed me with my daily necessity of English. As much as I like the Japanese Language, I love English language as well. It has been a part of me, so without it, I'd practically feel like I'm missing half hand. I plan to be really nerdy when I'm there. haha. I'm all ready to absorb any learning experience I can find there. I'm like.. currently really hungry for knew experiences and knowledge.

So many things i want to do. I'm so greedy.. lol.


Anyways, I believe many SCANDAL fans are getting really hyped up because SCANDAL is in town! I heard they are having an autograph session tomorrow. I won't be going but I'll be going on the 16th and 17th on the days of the concert.

So, my friends who want to find me to see me perhaps the last time before not being able to see me for some time, you know where to find me.

Sleeve less.

Hello.

Today has been a pretty cranky day for me. I just wanted a day to rest but I can't really rest because I still have a lot of things not done yet. I can't do them yet because I still need to wait for confirmation. I guess the waiting part is the most frustrating.

I was packing my luggage in earlier today, I found some of my clothes that I don't wear anymore in my closet. So I thought I'd cut it and make it into a totally new clothing instead. Got tons of tips and inspiration from the awesome people I worked with for the 3 weeks in a fashion event.

It was a simple white long sleeve shirt with a cartoon design in front. I cut up the sleeves and made it into a tank top and sew some other random details onto the shirt and making it a totally new shirt! I'm so happy with my first official trial on the shirt though it's really nothing awesome or special.

New Tank Top!! :D

Let's get creative!! (^^)

The most awesome 3 weeks ever!

Hello! Good morning! It's 5.30am right now.

It has been awhile since I updated anything recent on my life. The few posts were plainly backlogs. Except for the "message to you" post.

Anyways, for the past 3 weeks, I was working at the fashion event called "Hello Shibuya Tokyo".

This was taken last day of the event! Tore down day! 10/03/2013

Honestly, I believe I learnt a lot throughout these 3 weeks. I got to meet really interesting people with strong personalities, learn so much more about fashion and appreciate more different kinds of fashion. It's also because everyone had such strong personalities we were able to get to know each other really fast and became really cozy and comfortable with each other. Even though I was tired since work ends really late into the night and for the first few nights was all the way til midnight, I look forward to work everyday.

Even though it was tiring, I don't think I exactly lost any weight because everyone is such a good cook and they are so friendly and nice to share their own home cooked food during the second week onwards after we all became good buddies! Everyday was practically like a picnic session. lol. Everyone was so passionate and enthusiastic during work, it's really a blessing to be able to work with this team during the event.

I'm really glad this 3 weeks is finally over but also I'm sad that this 3 weeks is over. So many memories made in this 3 weeks. Time really files when you're having fun!

I made a half korean super bubbly best buddy in this event. She is named after a fruit that keeps the doctor away, Apple. She's a really sweet and down-to-earth girl. I didn't expect to click so well with her because I use to not able to accept the korean language because I use to think it sounded vulgar. But recently I'm really alright with kpop and korean language. But I got more accepting to the language way before I met her. This must be fate. haha. We keep calling each other "Baboya", aka idiot in korean. It's pretty much our nicknames for each other. hahaha! And I absolutely love the "Gimbap", (korean sushi) she made. Really really delicious!

I also made an awesome friend who is super motherly, Stella. I always call her "mama" during work because she is just super caring and motherly. She likes to stuff me with food too. She's someone who I can talk to for quite a lot of things. So glad to have her around me!! haha.

With this 2 good buddies around me, I feel really pampered at work. lol. I'm really well taken of!

Not to mention the really nice and friendly boss I was under. They are all really nice people. To be able to know about these brands is really an eye-opener. For someone like me who didn't even bother myself with brands and all this, I ended up being exposed to all this. I'm really thankful.

Honestly, so far for all my part-time jobs and full time jobs, I always have really nice bosses. So far, my work life isn't that bad. I'm really lucky to have nice bosses.

Yesterday, was the final packing up the boxes. We didn't expect everything to be dragged on until so late at night but we managed to finish everything in a day. Lol. Hardcore huh?
Anyways, so we ended at around 12am and we went off to a Ramen Stall nearby the area for our mini afterparty and supper. Obviously beer is a definite need! It has been a real long time since I had beer since I don't have such gatherings for so long! I had one can of Sapporo and it was satisfying! I also had cha shu ramen for supper with chawan mushi on the side! I really ate a lot huh?? haha.

After Supper
Stella, LiPing, Me, Jungle Bacon (Thessa), Saidoku-san, Ezanne

This wasn't the full team because the people who came to do the final packing were just this few. In the photo, we're missing Apple though. Should I photoshop her in? lol.

Yeah, I call my friend, Thessa as Jungle Bacon. It's a long story so we'll just keep it as that shall we?? :)
But I'll just let you know she loves bacon and she makes awesome mac and cheese!


I made quite a lot of friends from this event. I'm so thankful to my friend for introducing me this job. Without that introduction, I think I'd still be jobless til now. But you know, I was really smiling a lot during work and having tons of fun. I was able to be the real me and be really crazy. I'm feeling so comfortable with my work environment in like a few days. Usually I take a little longer to open up. I was able to do a lot of  "monomane" (imitations) during work. lol. Which was really epic but I'm really glad it made people laugh. lol.

It guess it was also because the environment was mostly English and Japanese speaking, which I'm totally in love with. Two of my best and favorite languages as of now. Everyday was I was using English, and you are able to find people who are the same as you struggling to speak Chinese or speaking Chinese with a funny accent. LOL. Oh yes, I was in my comfort zone. lol.

I'm left with less than 2 weeks til I fly and I still have quite a few things unsettled. I hope to get them done real soon. I'll notify the date as of when I'm leaving really soon.

Til then, I want to happily enjoy my 2 weeks.

Getaway Trip to Japan, Day 2

Hey.

Finally down to trip to Japan Day #2!

I left the hotel and headed off to Asakusa for brunch. I wanted to get my all time favourite Melon Pan!! But before that because i had to go to Ueno Station and change to Ginza line to go to Asakusa, I walked around Ueno area. I went into this shop that Mr. Merlion brought me to that sells all the funky stuff and I bought presents for my friends. It's some 3D puzzle thing that I still haven't quite figure out how to go about completing the puzzle! It's so difficult!!

After hanging around that area for awhile, I left the place for Asakusa. It was raining and it's getting colder. I thought I need to eat something so I can maintain my body warmth.

When I reached the shop at Asakusa, they sold out the first batch of melon pans and they are remaking a new batch so I had to wait another 30mins. I was so sad!! But I had to have it so I thought I should walk around the area to kill time before going back there to get it.

I went to the temple at Asakusa. Yeah, the usual tourist spot. So there were tons of people and tourist there. I like visiting temples! So calming and peaceful!

I went to get another fortune (おみくじ) though I already got it on my first day but I was bored so I thought of just getting it again. I mean, if my luck is the same it wouldn't be that bad right? Well, I ended up getting just normal luck but whatever that is written on it seems to be better than just normal luck. Haha. I can deal with this.... :)

After getting my fortune, I went up to the temple but it was hella crowded so I ended up walking back out. The reason why I went in, was to hide from the rain. I need to hide somewhere warm. I really hate it when the weather is cold, huge wind keeps blowing non-stop. It's really awfully cold and at that point I wish I was in summer or back at my hotel where it is all warm and cozy.

I walked down all the shop houses thinking what things i can get. But you know, their stuff don't really change much. It has been almost the same or totally the same since the first time I went there... which was back in 2009 I think? I always go there to buy the senbei though. They have all the different flavors. I personally like the spicy one because it's really spicy! Totally covered in chili powder!!

I walked pass this random shop that sells soba. I wanted somethingy soupy because the weather is cold, the best way to warm yourself up is to drink something hot. I went into the restaurant and ordered myself a tempura soba set.

Though I did say I wanted to eat something with hot soup. All I was really targeting this meal for was the tempura. It so delicious! I'll only have tempura in Japan because the taste and the way it is cooked is different back here locally. The texture and everything.. People always say, once you have Japanese food in Japan, you won't ever want to eat it other place unless it's of the same standard. I pretty much agree on that. Especially on the tempura! haha.

I took my time to finish it up. People were staring at me for a moment because I was on the phone with Shizuka for a moment. We're speaking in English so people do stare somehow. But well, I've pretty much gotta used to it. I really like speaking in English in Japan because they don't know what you're talking about. haha. Don't have to worry about people eavesdropping on your conversation.

After having my brunch, I went back to the shop that sells Melon Pan for dessert. They sell the most awesome melon pan. It's hard on the outside and soft on the inside and the size is bigger than your face!

Look at how perfect this melon pan looks! haha. I mean, it really looks like the one Shana from the anime "Shakugan no Shana" eats!! It's exactly like how she describes as well.  

This is how the shop outside looks like. If you want awesome melon pan, please visit this shop! It's near the entrance of the temple on the right side. They not only sell melon pan, they do sell many different flavors of the soft cream ice cream and as well as other food. If I'm not wrong, food such as tori karrage set and etc. But so far, I've only ate their soft cream ice cream and melon pan. This is my recommended food in Asakusa, always. haha.

After hanging out at Asakusa, I had so much time to kill before the live house event. I actually went to scout out the place of the other live houses I was going to go later in this trip and as well as find the place I was going to later. After which, I headed back to the hotel to freshen up a little before heading out because being caught in the drizzle in Japan is no joke. I really dislike the rain in Japan especially during cold seasons. It's extra cold!

As I was walking to the live house at Shibuya, guess who I saw! I saw the members of Applicat Spectra! Well, actually I saw all of them. Kenken looks so good in his new perm and brown hair!! Actually, I didn't see them at first but you know a group of guys walking down with their instrument bags. At first I thought they were just regular band men, but they look so familiar because I went to their live before so I know how they actually look like. I thought, since I'm here and I probably won't get to see them anymore, I wanted to do something crazy and fangirl-ish.

I totally went up to them and greeted them and said I was a fan from overseas. Kenken, being his usual cute-ness was stunned. I was also really shy and totally nervous so I guess I was whispering. I was also rushing for time so I didn't like bother them too long so I said good bye and wished them good luck, "頑張って" and walked away. I was in such a good mood afterwards. Talk about being lucky huh? haha.

A message from me to you

Hey.

I'll be spending my last 3 weeks being busy settling on the final school stuff and meeting up with friends before I fly off for my studies for at least a year. I have so many things I want to do and learn and experience once I'm there. I want to meet many people new different people as well. I want to improve myself and be a better person.

Many people ask me why don't you want to stay here since you can do it too. Well, I personally think there is nothing I can do here and if I do continue to stay in my comfort zone, I'll eventually become really dependent and useless.

I'm an ambitious person who wants to accomplish many things. To be able to do that, I have to come out of my comfort zone and try new things and new challenges. I want to be able to do all the things I want with my own strength and also help people in return instead of depending on people. Therefore, I have made this choice.


I believe that "dreams are difficult to achieve. If a dream is easily achieved, it wouldn't be counted as a dream."


With this believe in mind, no matter what challenges are put forth in front of me, I will overcome it. I want to show people, if you have the will and determination, you can do anything.

Though I haven't really accomplished anything but I am thankful to all those people whom I've met ever since I decided on this plan. Without meeting you guys, without you guys guiding me and giving me all the help and advices, I would not be able to continue until today.


I also believe that "every meeting and encounter with a person is a miracle. It is fate that brought us together and there is a meaning behind as to why I have met you at this time and place." 


I believe so because sometimes I really wished that I have met all these wonderful earlier so I could have started off everything earlier. But sometimes it's also because even if I have met them earlier, all of whatever has happened and decided wouldn't have happened. Because we met now, the timing is just right, all of such things can happen. Therefore, I am thankful.

I'm not sure what will happen in this 1 year but I promise to come back to be a better person than I am now. I will be stronger and more independent than I am now. I will continue to smile and will smile even brighter.

Please continue to watch over me.




To be real honest, I don't intend to just be there for a year. I want to be able to stay there longer than 1 year. I want to see how far I can go.

OOTD #7

Hey guys,

Been busy for the past few days with work. I would fall asleep about 30 mintues after I reach home. It's that serious. Everyday from 10am all the way to 11.30pm or even later! Talk about crazy but thanks to the awesome colleagues I have working together in this event, it's all worth it.

Anyways, time for another Outfit Of The Day!

I decided to go for a little rock-ish but yet with a little cutesy factor in it which is tying a small ponytail on the top.

Head: Black choker
Top: Red leopard print jacket with white T shirt from work
Bottom: Grey loose denim shorts with knee length highsocks designed tights.
Shoes: Platform boots

I need to wear the T-shirt because it was my work uniform.
The jacket is bought from a shop called "momo/wonder rocket" from Harajuku last month. Link here.
The shorts is from a shop located at a shopping mall called Parco at Ikebukuro,
The tights is bought from a random shop that always has sales located at Ikebukuro.

The choker cannot be seen for this outfit because when I took a photo, I forgot that I was blocking my neck. LOL.

I should really remember the shop names when I shop. I'll do that for my future OOTDs after this month. lol. Sorry this is a real short and rushed post. Will do a better one real soon.
