Lolita Photoshoot (behind the scene) + Sayoko hangout

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~



Book Voucher Shopping @ Kinokuniya

 

I've gotten my 1 Malaysia Book Voucher (BB1M) worth RM250 around end of April and has been deciding which bookstore to go to grab my goodies. But my choice were only limited to Popular Bookstore and Kinokunoya because I have zero interest in the rest. I don't really have any particular fictions I'm aiming for (mainly because my sis have been buying them and I would just read hers if I wanted to), only some Japanese related stuffs at Kino. Popular was in my consideration because they will give out free RM50 book voucher if you choose to spend all your rm250 voucher in Popular, which means can buy more books (my sis can buy more books lol, since I don't know what to buy).

 

We have visited Sunway Popular, and the books that my sis wanted all not available =_= (talk about unlucky-ness). Then my mum decided to just bring me to Kino to see what stuff I want to buy coz she say the vouchers are mine and I should buy some stuff I like with it.

 

And so, these are what I got at Kinokuniya! >>

Tadaa!!!~~



Good stuffs are really expensive so didn't manage to get much.

Buying process were not exactly fun that day. At first we selected only one book, and the rest are all magazines; went to queue up, and they told us we have to verify our vouchers at another counter. Which is ok, so we left the queue, go to another counter to verify. Then we queued again. And when we were about to pay, the cashier told us that majority of the coupon has to be used for BOOKS, magazine not counted. Okaaay....so we had to shop again, and queue again. And after the payment we got a rm20 book voucher from Kino, so had to go shop for a book again, and queue again. Really tiring coz we had to go through the same process for like three times.

The only seriously pro looking book of the day lol. This has collections of business use emails in Japanese (and explanation in English), just what I'm looking for except I would prefer something even deeper. Saw a business/finance dictionary in Japanese to English and vice versa which is like super good and I really love it, cost around RM500, can vomit blood. Gonna go Kino again to sloooowly look through the racks for more of these later.

 

Final Fantasy Super Best Piano Solo Scores. The 2nd book which I picked to have majority of the voucher amount used on books. Two books add up already around RM240+ lol, no room for magazine d.

 

This is the thickest piano score book available in Kino lol. With all popular and great track/song scores from FF1- FF13. Kind of a great deal considering the amount of pieces they have in a book for RM130. Gonna get one more for piano scores + vocal.

Magazines~ Personally prefer Jelly more because it's focused on makeup and hair. Wanted to get a fashion related book/magazine but can't find one that I really like (not much time to slowly stare at them). Ageha - bought it coz it has Ank Rouge free gift, kinda regretted not getting another mag which gives LizLisa cosmetic pouch. Ageha's makeup is seriously super purikura-ish lol, but still can learn some stuff (Jelly still better). Had to give up on Kera coz spent too much d hahaha.

 

My sister's stuff: Asuka and ZeroSum. Super great manga magazines that have like super loads of nice new mangas. Got free gift summore (eg: Karneval mouse pad, super pretty!!).

 

Chinese novel also got free gift lol. It's like everything from Kino also got free gift. Am probably gonna pay another visit in 2 months time, gonna spend probably a day there slowly picking up more goodies!~



復讐したい!

Went to class yesterday, yeah, that same class with those useless pieces of junks. I really felt torturing going to class nowadays, its really unbearable for them to pass through my eyes, and i felt dirty to have to share the same oxygen with them. I guess this is what you call hatred. Well, not to say i never hated anyone before in my life, i usually get the hang of it after grumbling and crying. And some of the people i hate, i even forget what they did to me. I don't really remembers those stuff, as in who hurt me before. However, this case is some sort of different; I did not put up a quarrel or anything, but i DO really HATED them. previously when i talked about what they did to me, i felt sad and angry, frustrated (that's what i usually feel before, when i was hurt by others), and i always cry when i talked about it. But after that, weirdly, i don't cry talking about it anymore, but instead i hate them soooo much that i think even if they were to ask for help kneeling in front of me, i would turn away as though they are invisible. I felt really useless now as i could not even do something for myself, what i can do is just to isolate myself, i'm too weak to start up my revenge plan.

Well, please don't tell me something like, live life better than them will be the best way to revenge. I don't believe a single bits of it. Even if i live a life better than them, will they suffer as much as i do? Revenge means to pay back what they have done, and in my case, at least a ten times would sound better. Anywas, thanks to all this hateful people and the terrible environment, I have the motivation to ace my first year final exams. Not to get better results than them, but i think it would be a waste for my one year suffering if i don't do well. I will prove to myself that my one year suffering is worth the endurance!

---------------------------------------

Went out with mum and sis on sunday. Sis wanted to buy a chinese book, sort of a sequel of the previous book she read. We went IOI first, couldn't find what she's looking for, but mum bought two books she likes. Then we headed to Subang Parade, because i heard the news that Darren Shan Saga got discount.

We went straight to desert's bar as we are all feeling super thirsty. So, firstly, the things they sell there are quite weird, but i love it. Mum and sis don't really like the idea of going there again, but i would definitely go there one day.

I ordered this: Mint Creme Bruree. I thought it is a pudding, a big pudding. So the moment i saw the tiny serving, I was quite shocked. The word 'mint' refers to the leaf on top i guess...hahha...

Sis ordered Vanilla Mango Shake, she din't like the thickness of it, neiher do i. Mum took Strawberry and Banana shake by the way. We ordered some food, sandwich i think...it comes with a set, i picked grape smooties and dark sweet cherry parfait ^_^.

Here, my two nice and sweet deserts..hehe. Went to MPH after that. Bought tons of books...The sad part is that although my Darren Shan Saga is complete, the set is from three different publishers. I'm a book collector, but i'm not really a book content collector. Therefore, here's my plan: read all 12 books, sell of most of it and leave the edition i wanted, and use the money to collect the whole set again. Sis and i bought some chinese books...those with super cool covers..

Books books and books...

Forgive my hp camera T_T.

やっと出かけました！

Finally went out, although just a short while, but i managed to find the prices of some stuff that i want. Must really save money, haih, sad. I felt really sorry, forgotten my friend's bday. I thought that 6th of feb is saturday..Bought two mangas again, and two little cute accessories. One for me and another for my sis. Mine is a cat mirror, another is a mini super small purse.

Don't you think its sooo adorable??I plan to go buy somemore. Mum wanted to buy some for her staffs as well. Hope to go out very soon...Got a sms from akiko saying that times square has lots of stuff!! Someone please bring me there..hahaha.

Supposed to go for open house on saturday, but we couldn't find the house, and got lost for almost two hours. Now i really agree with what my friends said, getting lost in KL is really a scary thing, you will go to unexpected places. We nearly drove to Ipoh!! We ended up turning back to our place, had a nice luxurious dinner. Imagine each person one small pot of shark fin! You can even smell the fin's smell( prove that it's real). Four of us played cards at night. Dad thought me and sis various card games. I lost rm15, while sis lost rm22.

Went out this morning to small little places. Bought something great!! I bought some thick manga magazines( those that sold in midvalley, those japanese thick manga magazines). 3 for rm10 only!! I bought four books of ALICE, and one Happy Happy(thats the title). Alice book cover is more cute, mainly for shoujo, Happy Happy is not so good.

Bought issue number 10,11,12 and the following year issue number 1. Free gifts that come with the issues are always so great. Posters, cards and all..

Wish: go out grab more stuff, go to more places, try get back all membership cards.

Doing: Thinking of what nice rock songs to burn into cd-to give my guitar teacher, Thinking of how to read all the pile of books i have.

Currently: angrying about something-I can't say it here

休みの前と後。。

I'm back here...Was in a "quite" boring place for a week, but i manage to survive though. Mainly doing PR, talking and drinking around. We went many places for food, those kind of chinese meals where you just sit down there and wait for food, and when the food comes, you just need to grab them fast. Did not bring my guitar, so no music for a week. I'm quite worried about my guitar progress, Eeching can actually play ave maria on violin within a week without guidance of teacher! While i'm still practically quite useless and can't even read a band score.

One more, I cut my fingers during that one week trip. I won't repeat how painful it was here, hope i can play my instruments as soon as it recovers. Now using La Senza super pink plaster(sis gave me a piece).

Anyway, will still continue collecting band scores or whatever jrock stuff. Now waiting for Ps company's digi photo book, hope to grab as soon as it is out. I'm VERY dissapointed that i can't get the shoes i wanted. Very very very very sad. Wish I can quickly buy some other stuff that can compensate this feeling. Today, after that dissapointment from the shoes, i went to popular grabbing some novels. Bought: "How to sleep with a movie star", "Smart vs Pretty, may the best girl wins", "M is for Magic" and Fruits basket vol 15. You might want to grab something to kill after hearing this, I bought Fruit Basket English version for RM8.30 ONLY!! I mean ONLY because i bought all previous volume for at least Rm40!! OMG, why do you treat me like that, my heaven. I guess popular wanted to clear their stock asap..

Sis wanted to collect whole set of " A series of Unfortunate events", so mum went to buy the box set online, amazon uk. I don't know why, but i've been buying lots of english novels, maybe the covers seems too attractive (marketting strategy is working on me). I need to be more (very) hardworking these days to clear of all novels and books, let me count, i have at least 25 books that i have not even read or pour my love in it. Felt very sorry for them, will read in super speed reading, but in the same time will still continue grabbing.

I DESPERATELY want to go out, anywhere will do. I don't mind wandering aroung in any mall for a day, alone. Although i'm currently crazy on online shopping, but i still love to walk and grab stuff. Hope that within the next week i will get to breath some nice air.

Online shopping wish list: Jrock stuffs, Band Scores.

Wish list: Cosmetics! Was into Beautilicious few months ago, swept some products, and now i'm into another spree. Wait for me, beauty stuff~~; Books - Kino books(jap manga or novels), or any english manga; magazines~.

Hope to: be able to READ all/any band scores; Fine tune my voice (mum will get a karaoke set soon); get all clothes or fashion stuff i want; stop thinking about my future and always live for now, pray that my future is what i think of.

Food wish list(i seldom say this but,yeah): Italian, Japanese, fast!!

ありがとうございます－あきこさん。。

Just finish exam on wed..Had a really good day with Akiko on thursday. The reason i delayed the post until now is that i was quite unhappy, depressed and frustrated throughout the day. Akiko reached while i'm still at the midst of decorating my house (mum asked me to have the chinese new year mood). Completed the deco quite fast with the help of akiko, sis and maid. Akiko came mainly to give me the stuff that i ordered online, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HELPING ME!! If not i would never even get to touch them, no one will have the idea how many people I asked and beg till i got fed up. Thank you so much!~

The two books I ordered from amazon japan: 学園祭でやりたい曲!!ブイジュアルロック band score book and God knows band score. Books are packed in a box, quite big for just that two books (picture of box can be found in akiko's blog^_^). Can't wait to learn all the basic readings so that i can play those songs.

Besides the band scores, i ordered two sets of guitar picks from a seller in Singapore! Em, Repeatless Countless Error and Gazerock tour 2008. Clearer picture in previous post, my hp camera is terrible.

Back.

Front. I tried playing with Reita's bass pick, i managed to play with it, but well, i'm not supposed to since it's not for electric guitar. Someone might already know that, i'm deeply in love with Uruha. But the most shocking thing is: I'M BETTER IN USING AOI'S GUITAR PICK!! Oh...I feel so sorry for Uruha, but remember i still love you okay?? Aoi's guitar pick has the best shape..He is my least favourite member in Gazette..Put that aside, I MUST say Thank You again to Akiko for her birthday and christmas gift!! Really love them, Amy Peppercorn second, third and fourth book,hahaha...Makes me remember the times when we are back at school.

My three new books!! Wrapped them today, coz i don't want the nice cover to get dirty, hehe..I wonder where I can get the first book, same publisher. Read already, but wish to collect it (old stupid character). Will bring the second book to Teluk Intan trip.

Showed her my guitar and strum that few chords I know. We cooked lunch together! Well, akiko did most of the work, I was just standing making noise, putting stuff. We were searching for ingrediants..and decided to cook fried rice. Whole process was funny, and we baked the rice.

Main dish: Oriental cheese baked butter fried rice (that's the name we both agreed on). I will not say it tasted incredibly good, but it's ok, muct better than i expected, will continue to cook it when you are not around. Two side dish: One piece of hash brown(shared by two) and popcprn chicken. Felt really full after eating lunch, like what Akiko said, cheese is Heavy. I really missed the days in school...and that omelette rice, your sushi (remember?).

Akiko showed me her cosplay clothes, looks really great! expecially the apron..How i wish i can find a nice taylor to help me on some of the costumes i liked. I will not use for cosplay, but really want to collect some. Can wear when i happen to go for some event ^_^.

We watch Junjou romantica...and chat in the living room for hours. Chatting part i won't blog much, secret! I'm really looking forward to see you again, I wish both of us can reach our own dream..Kanpai!

Will not be here for the next one week.
Short term wish: Get the shoes!!, buy new cosmetics(even though i dun know why am i buying it, but you know, girls..), and try to get the other 2 sets of guitar pick from gazette..Before I forget, more band scores!

これわ私の世界

Went out twice this week, had few works to do. Because of the holidays, i need to go for many replacement classes, and my schedule are all messed up. Need to rearrange all my other classes. I bought books this week! Got all four books of Twilight Saga, and only one thing i can say about the books, GREAT!!! I felt very happy after covering all my books with protective cover, I just love the books so much, i'm in love with vampires.

My Twilight Saga complete set!! Well, it might not be full, seems like Stephanie Mayer is going to write another special volumn, focus on what and how Edward feels. The four books focus on Bella. Haha, i read some of her drafts in her website, it was just great, even saved them so that i could read anytime I want. I in love with Vampires! Turn me into one, please.

Sis bought camp rock cd, and once again, i'm inspired. I love music, its my favourite now, I will go for my dream. Well, at least try something, right? Nodame Cantabile also gave me lots of ideas on music, and i love composing now. Writing lyrics as well...I want to buy this bag, which Nodame used, just want to encourage myself. This:

The piano bag. Lots of people selling out there, but the quality are not good. I love this one, produced by Fuji Tv, but it really cost highly, you will not believe this. Just for a sling bag, they can charge RM275!! But i still love this...will try to find something similar, and get it in less price! But must be in nice quality also, haha...

Bought another nail polish. It's from Etude House..I wonder if you heard of this before, it's the very pink shop in Sunway, really very very pink..Cosmetics there are quite cheap, good for teenagers, din't stay there for long, guess the pink is too much for my parents. Got a nice metallic pink.

Before I forget this, I get a chance for a free lesson in Yamaha! I will choose, obviously electric guitar lesson! Mum will not let me take classes, so this will be my only chance to get all the basics. I guess i can handle this, ^_^ Meanwhile, i'm searching for electric pianos, these are my three top models, anyone who knows these please give me some advice.



Yamaha MOTIF XS8. This has the most function of all, can help in composing as well. Synthesizer, all other functions for any electric keyboard, can record with voice, this is just too perfect. Well, you can imagine the price. But i love this!!


Yamaha YPG-535. Ee ching said this is like hers, this one is good too, but still like the first one
more.
I love the colour. Yamaha S90- ES. Function not as good as the first one, but cheaper compare to it. Still expansive, but nice. Looks cool, hahaha...

I'm going to stop here. Will go for nice breakfast at Subway tomorrow, I realise now i starting to love breakfast (i usually dun take it), but it also depends. Okay, bye bye for now..^_^
