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~

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~



Yummy Foods!

This is gonna be a blogpost with less words but full of pictures, food pictures to be specific. These are all the foods and places I've tried in the past weeks/months.

Frisky Goat

Went here with Nicole and Juri during lunch. Kinda like the creamy pesto pasta here, and also their breakfast.

My TWG Silver Moon Tea.

 

Nicole and Juri ordered latte and some coffee drinks I can't remember. Gosh sign of old age.

 

Egg Salmon Royale - seared salmon with poached eggs over waffle, served with sauteed mushrooms, tomato hollandaise sauce and toast. Not a bad choice!

 

Creamy Pesto Pasta!

 

I've forgotten all names of the cakes I've tried lol. And lost count also.

 

I remember this was great! Espresso Creme Brulee if i'm not mistaken.

 

Some cheese cake.

 

Group picture~

 

Miam Miam (Revisit) 

Revisited this place with my Japanese team leader, Yukari-san. We worked till rather late during the previous quarter closing and she invited me for dinner. I let her pick the place and we've finally decided on Miam Miam.

I ordered this -- some soufle egg omu-rice. It tasted really good! I have cravings now and then to eat this again haha. Yukari-san ordered some seafood pasta, and she said it was not bad as well.

 

ZEN

I've been here several times, but just gotta include this in the blogpost because this was my first Ootoro~ Had this with my sister during one of my summer Friday break.

Garage 51 (Revisit) 

Second visit with my mum and sis. 



 

Beautiful baked eggs. Tasted averagely okay to me.

I think my sister ordered this.

 

Something huge that my mum ordered. She said it was quite dry and she would prefer something more delicate haha.

Betjeman & Barton

This place wins the worst afternoon tea set I've ever tried. And expensive. ERGH, blogging about this makes me angry.

Three-tier Tea set. Despite the pretty looking plates and desserts, they all tasted pretty bad =___=. Well not as bad as the ones at Tokyo Pastry though, those are marginally edible at most.

 

Macarons ---- Worst I've tried.

Some amazingly dry puffs, madelines, and tarts.

 

Don't try this place if possible. Their tea is sobbingly sad.

 

Rakuzen

My favourite Hotate Mentaimayoyaki

Fresh Sashimi.

 

Kyochon

My first and second visit to Kyochon ^^. Remains as one of my favourite fried chicken place till now haha.

Spicy Drums.

 

Honey Wings.

 

 

Chicken breast strips. Tasted really good and matched really well with the honey mustard sauce.

 

 

Tried their set during my second visit. Too bad they don't let me order kimchi fried rice ala carte haiz.

Sushi Tei

They look great but tasted average.

TWG

Prawns were not fresh =____=. Kinda hate this meal. Liver Pate wasn't good as well haiz, dissapointing.

My sis's Wagyu green curry rice were really good though!

Pickle & Fig

Friday consolation lunch session with Nicole and Juri.

It takes a while to read the entire menu on the board lol.

 

My Gryphon Tea - Earl Grey Lavender. Not bad ^^.

Some avocado salad.

Nicole's big breakfast. The sausages were really good.

Mine! Smoked salmon and cream cheese foccacia. Wonder if I will get to try the other sandwiches, particularly interested in this pesto chicken one. And I have to say I LOVE their wedges!

L-Table (Revisit)

 

Went with Benjamin this time.

Yummy potato croquette. But a little dry.

My yummy scallop pesto pasta ^^.

 

Benjamin's boring red sauce pasta hahaha. Crabmeat Linguine if i'm not wrong.

Dave Deli

There's 30% discount during weekday lunch hours. I ordered beef lasagna because that was what I always had when I was a kid. Mum would always bring me for dinner before my piano classes ^^. It was overcooked though, I guess they cooked loads of it to cater for lunch crowds.

Menya Musashi (Revisit)

Went alone hahaha. I wanted to spend my two hours lunch in leisure, having the food I want and shop around feeling relaxed, so I decided to reject all lunch invitations that day hehe. And true enough it felt really great!

 

Am gonna end this post with nice ramen picture hahaha. It's taking forever to clear off the backlog posts =____=, there's around 15 more left! And harder posts like AMG, I haven't even blog about C2AGE ergh. Not gonna update though, am going Japan next week for vacation ^^
