Music: Key of Life by Nakamaru Yuichi
Mood: Tired & Sleepy...



Konnichiwa minna-san...

It's still kinda too early for me to be up >_< Hai, wakatta...I know it's already past noon but usually my class starts at 3pm on Mondays so I'll set my alarm clock for noon and wake up at half past noon instead xD

Today, I was RUDELY awaken by my aunt. I COULD go back to sleep but what's the use? Might as well wake up and do finish...No, TRY to do finish my OOPProject which is due on Thursday...I think O.o?

I don't have my OOPP book with me so trying to do finish the project will pose a challenge =.= and I think by the end of the day, I'll definitely go bonkers @.@

On Mondays, I only have two classes: DE Lecture (for an hour) and DE Tutorial/Practical (for two hours). Short. Wakatta, demo...At least I'm in school for the same amount of time I'm on the bus (which is THREE hours).

HOWEVER, the second class is canceled today and all I have is the lecture. So I'm debating if I should go or not. Should I waste 3 hours of my time today on the bus to go for a 1 hour class where the teacher usually tries to make the class more 'happening' by joking random things, thus resulting in the students not respecting him and causing him to only teach ONE or TWO things...? Or should I just go for my attendance...?

The first one looks more appealing but I'm still thinking. I didn't go last week too since I had to finish up my PMP Project.

Oh yes, the MAIN purpose of this post is just to write out my dream. I had a weird dream (doesn't everyone?). I was in Siglap Seconday School (my seconday school)...At the Quadrangle, to be specific. I was chatting with my friends and had a stack of my classmate's papers. In a file. O.o Then, we all stood up to go to the place in front of the General Office (there's a name for it but for the life of me, I can't remember >_<).

On the way there (it's pretty short), I smiled and said 'Hi!' to Akanishi Jin. Hai, from KAT-TUN. The 'A' in KAT-TUN. We all sat down and I continued talking to my friends. Then I heard someone singing in a VERY high pitch. But it sounded VERY nice. It sounded familiar. My head immediately turned to Jin, who had sang out that part.

I was SUPER excited and I told him to sing it again. He sang some part before singing the high pitch tune. It felt wrong somehow. But I LOVED it! Lolz

When I woke up, I realized that the high pitch part was from the ending of KAT-TUN's song, 'Never Again'. DATTE! The part he sang before singing the high pitch part (when I told him to sing again) was from the chorus of KAT-TUN's song, 'Wilds Of My Heart'. So technically, in my dream, he mixed two songs up. Super weird! Cho henna!

*shrugs* Mah, all I can say is that the dream felt SUPER real (which is cho kakoi) and that I never knew how seductive Jin's lips look up close xD LOLZ!

Anyway, Leah-chan's station will be up later...I'll TRY. But then again, it's not like anyone reads my blog. My C-Box is as dead as the bodies in a cemetary...*shakes head and shrug* Mah...

Music: FIGHT ALL NIGHT by KAT-TUN
Mood: Blah...
Konnichiwa minna-san!

Boring life...Common test next week...Gonna die! Lolz Anyway, I was supposed to go and dye my hair this morning at my aunt's friend's place. But she's booked so she can't make it. *sighs* Too bad...

On a brighter note! Rachael received her 'O' Levels results and she got 13/14 points!!! WAHAHAHAHA! Take that, suckers who thought she couldn't do it! We (as in Lydia, Izyani, Rachael and myself) celebrated at Pizza Hut yesterday. I FINALLY gave Rachael her birthday present. It was about a month plus late >_< style="font-style: italic;">Cho kakoi! Lydia bought a new ring for herself too. I indulged in myself and bought a choker! FINALLY! I've been searching high and low for chokers.

Then, we stopped by Music Junction and I got a new CD. I'll explain why later xD and we went to the arcade. Rachael went off since she had to meet her parents to go Chinese New Year shopping. Lucky...I still haven't done mine yet xD

Here are pictures of what I bought:

The choker! Even though it isn't the plain simple one, I still think it looks kinda cool. But I'm still searching for a plain black choker with a silver cross pendant. One that looks like Ueda Tatsuya's choker would be REALLY REALLY cool! Lolz
HAHA! Cartoon KAT-TUN II You CD! I know, this may look like the one I previously got but this one has more songs and is SOOOOO much more worth it. The price Shih Yann and I checked at HMV was about $100+. Do you know how much I got this for? $30!!!!!! SUPER CHEAP!!!! I HAD to get it! There were ONLY two left!

After much debating, Izyani also got it for herself ^_^

Wahahaha! That's pretty much what I wanted to say. I'll give some more updates tomorrow! It may not be about music but something else. It depends what I wanna put on it xD

Music: The City Is At War by Cobra Starship (FANGS UP!)
Mood:
sore



sleepy



sick



curious



Konnichiwa minna-san!

Let's start out with something here I found on Wikipedia.

Epistaxis (Nosebleed) is the relatively common occurrence of hemorrhage (bleeding) from the nose, usually noticed when it drains out through the nostrils. There are two types: anterior (the most common), and posterior (less common, more likely to require medical attention).

*looks at above statements* I honestly thought 'posterior' meant the back/behind of something. Mah! *shrugs* Continuing on...

The cause of nosebleeds can generally be divided into two categories, local and systemic factors, although it should be remembered that a significant number of nosebleeds occur with non obvious cause.

Local Factors: (I'll write only some)

1. Chemical inhalant
2. Inflammatory reaction (eg. acute respiratory tract infections, chronic sinusitis [this is what I have since I was born], allergic rhinitis and environmental irritants)
3. Nasal prong O2 which tends to dry the nasal mucosa
4. Nasal sprays, particularly prolonged or improper use of nasal steroids
5. Trauma (usually a sharp blow to the face)
6. [This is the best...] Nose picking!

Systemic Factors:

1. Drugs - Aspirin, desmopressin and others
2. Alcohol (due to vasodilation)
3. Allergies
4. Heart failure (due to an increase in venous pressure)
5. Hypertension
6. Infectious diseases
7. Narcotics, particularly inhaled cocaine
8. Pregnancy

Treatment (I'm only writing the simple measures)

The flow of blood normally stops when the blood clots, which may be encourage by direct pressure applied by pinching the soft fleshy part of the nose. This applies pressure to littles area, the source of the majority of nose bleeds and promotes clotting.

Pressure should be firm and be applied for at least 10 minutes whilst leaning forward and spitting out any blood which flows into the mouth. There is no benefit to pinching the bridge of the nose or to tilting the head back.

Local application of an ice pack to the forehead or back of the neck or sucking an ice cube can also help by promoting constriction of local blood vessels and thus reducing blood flow.

There! Why am I writing this down? Because I woke up this morning and was horrified to find blood on my blanket (which was OVER me - if it was UNDER me, I would understand). I went to rub my nose (due to the fact that it was itchy) and was even MORE horrified to find blood on my hands!

Cleverly *coughBULLSHITcough* deducing that I had a nosebleed, I went to the bathroom to find somewhat dried blood around my nose and more pouring down. I washed the best that I could and told my grandmum. She panicked more than me but she panicked calmly. Was that even possible? I guess have six kids does help =)

She gave me a tissue to stop the flow and ice water to wash my face because my face was heaty. >.< style="font-weight: bold;">AND together with the nosebleed, every time I sniff, I taste blood! EWW! Mah-jis-ne! (Translated: It's disgusting! Sorry if it's wrong. I got it from Nakamaru Yuichi when I was watching Cartoon KAT-TUN when he said those words and the subtitles came out. I'm writing it out as how I heard it >.<) *sighs* On another note, I'm really worried for my studies. But the thing is, I'm not SO worried. And I want to be. I wanna scare myself to start working like crazy! Lolz I guess I'll do my best! Ganbatte ne, Leah-chan?

I think this is pretty much what I wanna say at the moment. I'm so curious with the nosebleed that I had to write it out. ^_^

Music: Your Side by KAT-TUN
Mood: Accomplished & Happy ^_^ (Lookie at the nice accomplished Kame & Ueda and Happy Maru! ^_^)




Konbawa minna-san!

IT'S TODAY! Sorry for the late post but I DID IT! Yes, I'm partially talking about my PMP (Programming Methodologies & Practices) Project! Shih Yann and I did it! Now we have to do our TOE and GUI which takes about only 15 minutes, at most! ^_^

ANYWAY, Leah-chan's Station is ONLINE NOW! ^_^

I've asked around for a few recommendations. Okay, I got only from Afiqah and Hanisah (o7) ^_^ and I remembered a few from other people.

Here's a list of songs you MIGHT like:

Low - Flo Rida ft. T-Pain: nice beat; really nice for dancing, especially at a nightclub ^_^

Bubbly - Colbie Cailat: nice soothing tune - kinda like Taylor Swift-ish

Like You'll Never See Me Again - Alicia Keys: R&B, lovely tune

Mama - My Chemical Romance: I like the weirdness of the song. But it seems to...fitting? O.o

Kiss Kiss - Chris Brown ft. T-Pain: mischievous and teasing; who doesn't love Chris Brown? ;D

SOS - The Jonas Brothers: So they're from Disney. Who cares? Nice in both normal and acoustic; they remind me of The Click Five - don't know why O.o



Crazy - Lumidee ft. Pitbull: Nice beat and tune; great for reggae dances, ladies! ^_^

The City Is At War - Cobra Starship: their unique alternative music is back! Check them out!



LIPS - KAT-TUN: Kame starts out melodious before everyone goes into a rocking beat! I can totally imagine Ueda playing the guitar for this! CHO KAKOI!



Okay, I think this is enough...don't you think? I'll post up more songs next week. There is a drama series I would like to recommend.


Shochikubai Miroku (Akanishi Jin - KAT-TUN) [First guy in the middle] is the son of a police commissioner (father) and also a traveller (mother). Miroku has lots of connections and is a very good fighter. His interest is his motorcycle.

Kikumasamune Seishiro (Yokoyuma Yu - Kanjani 8) [Second guy from the right] is the rich son of a large hospital. He also fights as well as Miroku. He is also a good fighter with smarts.

Bido Granmarie (Taguchi Junnosuke - KAT-TUN) [Last guy on the right] is the son of a Swedish ambassador. He's also a playboy, dating many girls at once. Granmarie can't see himself going steady because he thinks the world can't handle it.

Kenbishi Yuri (Minami) [Last girl on the left] is the rich daughter of a world-renowned president of the Kenbishi Business. She loves to indulge on eating. She's also a good fighter, but can never beat Seishiro.

Hakushika Noriko (Kashii Yu) [First girl in the middle] is the daughter of a famous Japanese painter (father) and her mother is from a tradition tea ceremony family. Her only hate is men and can get very violent when they touch her.

Kizakura Karen (Suzuki Emi) [Second girl from the left] lives with her mother, a rich jewel dealer. Her dream is to marry into a rich family using her attractive body and style.

Together, they form the Yukan Club, solving mysteries to pass time.

It's very exciting and interesting. Not to mention, funny! So *bows* onegai shimasu! Watch it! Those interested in watching this show, please come and find me! ^_^

YOSH! I think I will go and get some sleep now. It's about 11:45pm already and I have to wake up at 5am! >.< Genki dana!

Mood: Shocked, Sad...
Music: Seishun Amigo by Shuuji to Akira

Konbawa minna-san,

This is a reply to Izyani's LiveJournal entry 'Amigo?'.

Gomen nasai, Izyani-nee-chan. I really did think about what I wrote. I was so consumed with my feelings that I did not realized that it would hurt your feelings. You have always been the stronger one of the two of us (three, if you include Lydia). I should have known that you are not one to sugarcoat anything to ANYBODY (even me, included).

Hai, I still remember how we both met. I was sitting in the AVA Theatrette alone, reading my crime stories book and you just popped up in front of me and asked me what I was reading. We DID clicked and now, both of us are still standing strong as best friends, even sisters, after four years of so much drama (mostly happening on my part).

Our friendship is a funny thing, you know that? You're asking if it's one-sided on your part. And I'm always telling myself that I'm useless and can never help you because all I do is whine and cry to you. But we never tell each other these things. These thoughts of ours.

I know you're happy for me since I started Polytechnic. I'm really sorry that I don't have the time to hang around you as much as before. I always waited for your call. I never wanted to bother you. I was afraid, I guess, that you'll be too tired and force yourself out just for my sake.

I guess I'm really selfish for always asking you if you were angry with me for not contacting me after quite some time. I always made you feel guilty.

Honto ni...Gomen nasai...

You aren't a villain. I don't want you to close your heart and put on that mask of yours when you're around me. I'm your best friend. I will be there if you want someone to complain to, a shoulder to cry on, arms to hug, a listening ear, a sympathetic heart, whatever!

I'll never shrug you off. If I do, tell me. Please. I wanna be there for you just as you did for me, so many, many times in my life.

Even though I made many friends in Poly, you and Lydia are the ones that have been through with me through all the good times and bad, especially the super bad ones. I'll never forget you guys and this may sound selfish but if I could, I wanna hold onto our friendship even if it kills me in the process.

Do you know what? I'm afraid. My deepest darkest fear is losing my family (and I think I already am) and losing you and Lydia. I'm afraid of waking up in the morning, seeing those that I hold dear in my heart turn their backs away from me.

I've already got an image of my father doing so. My mother, half-turned, and my brother, half-turned. I've lost the very people that grew up with me. The wall between all of us have risen up and I've been barricaded out. Many times, I've tried and tried banging on the wall, until my arms are bleeding but there was no answer.

The answer came from you and Lydia. I fear that the wall will come up between us and I'm barricaded out again.

To the readers reading this, I know you may think that I am acting dramatic, pathetic, whiny, emo-ish and even, just plain sad. But right now, these are my thoughts, being carefully put out.

Izyani-nee-chan, I don't hate Akame. I've grown to like them. Though not as much as you but I do like them. I'm sorry if you don't like OCs. I'll grow to accept that and not talk about my stories as much.

Gomen ne...

I never realize how worried you are for me when my obsession for KAT-TUN was to the extreme. I've toned down already since exams are coming near.

I've realized that in the whole four years of our friendship, I've done nothing but troubled you with my thoughtless actions. I've clung onto you like a pathetic child but never opened my arms out once to act like the adult when it was your turn to be the child.

I ought to die for what I've been doing.

Honto ni gomen nasai...

Hah...can you believe how pathetic I am? A few moments ago, I read your post and I was honestly shocked and cursed myself in the school LIBRARY. Now, I'm crying in the SCHOOL LIBRARY. Have I no shame? Couldn't I just wait for a few more hours before going home to cry?

I'm pathetic, aren't I, dear readers?

Mah, I really don't know what to do. I'm such a fool for thinking that I could rant off without anyone being hurt, pissed, or whatever at my posts.

Mah, I'll just sign off and stop myself from writing more...

Okay, okay, back to English...I'm proud to admit that I have finally gone crazy and at this stressful time, I want to announce that I am setting up some sort of station thing-y...? Since my life isn't so exciting, I wanna make it much more for you people who are bored enough to read my blog! ^_^

So I'm accepting recommendations for music (songs and videos), drama series, movies, bands or whatever!

Anyone? If there's no one, I'll put in my own recommendation! So DON'T sue me if you don't like it *points finger menacingly*

ANYHOW, the reason behind my absurd idea is because exams are coming near and people are getting stressed. To whoever who wants some form to relax, they can come here...But if they think this idea sucks, the nice little [x] button is there for you to click. ^_^

I'm starting next week...or maybe earlier if I'm really bored and on the verge of killing myself from trying to understand the work xD

So I'll see ya when I see ya!

Mood: Depressed...
Music: SOS by The Jonas Brothers

Konnichiwa minna-san,

Bad news...My friend, Faz, was called in to see our Personal Mentor (PEM). After talking to him, she came back and she told us that if we fail our core modules again (the ones that we retook for the second semester), we are going to be kicked out of the course...Out of NYP...Out of every Polytechnic in Singapore...

*le gasp*

!!!

Okay, I know it sounds frickin' dramatic but it's true! Think about it...If you're kicked out of ONE Polytechnic, do you think the others want to take you in? After seeing your record? I don't think so!

I can imagine the utter devastation in my whole family, the inner circle and the extended network! The money that my family has to pay back to the school! The school fees and the fees for everything else, including the laptop! I'm the oldest...I'm supposed to be the one everyone looks to for some sort of success in our family...

...And I disappointed them...

...I can't fail OOPP again!...I WON'T! Screw that! I can't fail ANYTHING ELSE!!!




Is anyone willing to help me? I'm willing to do anything to make a success out of this.

*drops to the ground, doing the deepest bow* Onegai shimasu!

Gomen nasai to those who are irritated with this post. The little [x] button at the corner of your screen is tempting. Go ahead and click it. But blogs are meant to say your feelings and I HAVE to...especially this is a very serious matter...

Music: Girls, Be Ambitious by Miyavi
Mood: Afraid...

Konbawa minna-san...

Nothing much has been happening except Shert darling lost her phone. To whoever took it, I suggest you give it back because Karma is so gonna bite you in the ass one day...HARD...and it's gonna be much more painful because that phone is VERY dear to Shert, due to all the memories kept in there. If you still decide to be a bitch and not give it back, screw you. I really hope Karma screws you over.

On another note, exams are coming and we (VE) just had our last practice before we break and rejoin back in March. It was rather moody, since I had Shert next to me but she had a reason. Other than that, the auras from everyone was light yellow and white, indicating mellow happiness and relaxation.

Exams are coming. Whee...Please note the sarcasm everyone. Of course, who loves exams? I surely don't. The thing is, it scares me. Not exams but the fact that even though I KNOW that it's coming but I'm not doing anything.

I've tried my best to pick up the book and study but my motivation is completely lost and I'm just staring at the book, not absorbing anything. Mah, I'm gonna give it one last shot tonight before heading for bed at midnight (if earlier, it would be better since I want to be able to wake up for school). I'm gonna try...Data Communications & Networking. Oh my god. What a bore.

*shrugs* What am I to do? Maybe I made a mistake to take this course. But since I've gone through almost a year of it, I might as well suck it up and get through another two (or more) years of it.

I was seriously thinking of getting Shert, SuEe, Pei and the rest to study with them but I think we'll be getting more talking/bitching (the latter is usually done between me and Shert only) done than studying. The good thing about this is that these girls still can go home and study but for me, if I don't have the frickin' motivation, I can't study alone.

But I have to. Whether I like it or not. This isn't secondary school anymore. No one is gonna be there for you and help you in your Maths, English (not that I need for this subject), Science or whatever. You're learning something completely different and whether you like it or not, you're gonna have to suck it up, stop your whining, dry your own tears and get that empty head of yours into those textbooks.

[To readers: if you feel that I'm directing those words to you, *bows* gomen nasai. I'm directing more to myself actually]

Other than that, I promise some pictures of the Visual Kei bands, didn't I? Here they are then! Dozo!

Our first contender is Miyavi! I think this picture with the koneko is cho kawaii! Two of the many songs I recommend from him are 'Girls, Be Ambitious' and 'Son of a Bitch'. Gomen for the crude language (but then again, my own blog posts can carry worse words =.=)
This picture is also of Miyavi-sama! I think what he's wearing is very nice! Very sexy! ^_^
This picture is of the band, Nightmare! They are the ones who produced the opening theme for the anime, Death Note! The song is called 'The WORLD' and it's the one playing on my blog ^_^
This is Alice Nine! Everyone looks really nice! Like they have different appeal and it really strikes out! That's kinda part of the reason why I like them, including their kick-ass music! Some of the songs I recommend from them is 'Yami ni Chiru Sakura' and 'Hana Ichi Yaiba'.
This is Antic Cafe, also known as An Cafe! This picture is before Bou (the one on your left and that looks like a girl - yes, it is a HE) left the group and was replaced. I think that Bou is cho kawaii! He looks just like a girl!!
This is The GaZettE. A brilliant band with good-looking guys, reminding me of Alice Nine too! ^_^ A song I recommend from them is 'Filth in the Beauty' which starts out with a pop-like tune and girls singing it before going into the rock element. I think it's cho kokoi! ^_^

I guess some of the JRock lovers out there can tell why I love these bands, besides their WONDERFUL kick-ass music, is that...most of the bands either have cho kawaii or cho kakoi guys or ikemen! For those who don't know, the last word means 'hotties' ^_^

Alright then people! I'm gonna take a bath and try getting my 'mojo' back on track! Good luck to everyone studying out there! Ganbatte ne?

Minna-san! Genki dana, ne? ^_^

Music: Never Again by KAT-TUN

Hey people!

As you have noticed, I have decided to change my blog skin! Yup, I don't have that much time to change as much as Suee or Shi Pei or whoever changes every so often but I finally did.

I kinda figured that you guys would be sick and tired of seeing my KAT-TUN obsession but I'm not entirely over it (actually, I'm NOT gonna be over them ^_^). I'm just gonna introduce my other music influences.

One of the first Japanese bands that I got into....NIGHTMARE! They are obviously a JRock and Visual Kei band.

*goes into Professor mode*

"Visual kei refers to a movement among Japanese musicians, that is characterized by the use of eccentric, sometimes flamboyant looks. This usually involves striking make-up, unusual hair styles and elaborate costumes, often, but not always, coupled with androgynous aesthetics (which is mixing both the feminine and masculine taste or sensory).

Some sources state that Visual Kei refers to a music genre, or to a sub-genre of JRock, with its own particular sound, related to glam-rock, punk or metal, and with strong emphasis on its unique style of dress.

And some sources state that Visual Kei's unique clothing and make-up fashions, and participation in the related sub-culture, is equally as important as the sound of the music itself in the use of the term."

*goes back to normal*

^_^ I really find it interesting and not to mention, some of the band members look really scary and/or really adorable! It's hard to believe that the adorable ones are guys, not girls!

Some of the visual kei bands that I recommend (and of course, love) are:

Alice Nine (another one of the first bands I've heard)
Antic Cafe
Dir en grey (they're more bloody and hardcore)
Due le Quartz (There's an accent on top of the first 'e' since it's French ^_^)
The Gazette
Hide
Jealkb
Kana (She's really adorable)
Malice Mizer (from there is one of the most famous and prominent fashion designer in the Gothic Lolita fashion world - Mana - who is very adorable too and it's a HE)
Miyavi
Moi dix Mois (founded by Mana)
Nightmare

There are obviously more...but I'll save you guys the headache ^_^ My next post is most probably gonna be a picture each of each of the bands ^_^ See ya next time!

Mood: ...Uneasy in my heart...
Music: 'My Heart' by Irwansyah feat. Acha (It's an Indonesian song)

Hey people,

Lots of things have been happening. First up, CONGRATS to the new VE committee! ^_^ I believe that everyone will work hard to help bring VE to a new year! But now that all my friends are in the comm, i will have to do stuff alone...wow, how sad...T.T

BUT, you didn't hear that from me.

Besides that, the Open House is over already! The first day, thursday, our performance was cancelled (VE, that is). We performed on both friday and saturday morning. I'm sad to say that the crowd was rather...

Eto...

Pathetic...

We could have gotten the better slot in the afternoon where there will be more people but I hardly doubt it will make a difference. All the afternoon slots were given to the more "popular" ccas, which I thought was unfair. But either way, we did the best and I don't think we regret it.

I went to see FB and StageArts Dance and Dance Company perform and it was awesome! To say the least... xD

Now that Open House is over, it's back to the main thing on hand. My projects and overall, school work! *sighs* It's getting really tiring and I've pretty much been doing the project by myself...It's pretty sad...

My body is taking a toll on me already...I'm feeling uneasy, tired and overall, empty...It's like I've lost my motivation to do my work...I've got to get it back...but how?

In the meantime, I still have to do my work, no matter what. I guess now I'm doing it for the sake of doing it and getting people off my back.

I've gotta get back to FB practices starting the coming week. I haven't performed for them and I feel really bad. Besides, next performance will be Club Crawl. ^_^

Oh yeah, I've officially withdrawn from the DanceWorks, the first junior competition in FB. I couldn't split myself to come for all their practices so if I stay any longer, I'll bring the whole group down. So I had to withdraw.

I've gotta start my tutoring session with Izyani's little brother again (before her parents come and kill me hahaz) and my curfew that my mum set up (and I totally agree to) is back on again.

I've gotta leave the school by 8.30pm, cutting my CCA short if I have to, except for Friday (this is my part). Friday, I'm allowed till 10pm because I don't have school the next day and it's the ONLY FB practice in the whole week so yeah...

Well, my mind's not really thinking that much now (since when it ever? Lolz) so I'm cutting this short.

Take care peoplez!

Music: The Church of Hot Addiction by Cobra Starship
Mood: ...STOMACHACHE...!!! =.=

Hey people,

*bows* Gomen nasai! I'm some days late in posting this. My New Year is something that I don't have to brag about. I didn't go away on vacation. Nor did I happily went for a Countdown, etc. I went to Takashimaya Shopping Centre with my mum, aunt and bro. One word: FINALLY!

We got to use the $300!! voucher that my mum had (it isn't $100, I thought wrongly). And honestly, when I went there, I was SHOCKED. $300 ISN'T ENOUGH AT TAKA! Everything is BRANDED! It's friggin' expensive!

I don't honestly care for brands. I think clothes are clothes. Brands don't make a person. It's how you mix and match to create your OWN fashion statement to the world to say "This is me. Deal with it. =)"

And everything there was so...formal. Well, the clothes weren't casual enough. By casual I mean, a simple tee with jeans or something along the lines. Even a casual blouse or layered clothing is fine. By layered clothing, I mean like Suee's style (which I think totally screams 'SUEE - Simple, Unique, Endearing and Extremely fashionable =)).

Everything there was like for the runway. The blouses were meant to go for a dinner date at a restaurant or a charity event at a high class hotel. That's it! High class! It was TOO sophisticated and DEFINITELY not meant for casual outing with friends. I don't know how to explain how it felt to me. But it wasn't something I would buy. Well, I would if there was an occasion but other than that, no.

The so-called casual clothing for guys was just 'Levi's'. Which I honestly think it's worthless because Levi's sold in America is half the price since it's not a super high-class fashion brand in America but was made meant for people to go to work in. Those construction workers, you know? Yup, it's for them. Levi's jeans sold here is S$100. Levi's there is sold US$30 or less, which is S$45 or less. It's LESS THAN HALF of how much it's sold here.

Heart pain right? Now that you know that it's so much cheaper somewhere else. xD

Anyway, I got some clothes. Altogether, I spent about $70 (even though I was allowed to spend $150 but I couldn't find anything else that caught my eye). My brother just bought a t-shirt and a pair of jeans from Levi's and it cost him the full $150 that he was given. =.=

Mine was just a blouse and a long shirt. =.=

Anyway, besides that, I don't know what my mum did with the rest of the voucher. I hope she put it to good use ^_^

Oh yup, below are some pictures I wanna show!

This was given by BEN! When I got it, I *SQUEALED* Yes, I did and fell to the floor too xD I was really shocked that he bought it for me! So once again, THANK YOU BEN! Since I didn't hug you in thanks, I'll hug you through my blog xD *huggles*
I dragged my mum, aunt and bro to HMV so I could get at least ONE KAT-TUN CD. And I got this! KAT-TUN II You ^_^ I love it! Though Jin isn't there T.T He was in America when they made it. It's alright! I still have Kame, Junno, Koki, Ueda and Maru! ^_^
One of the things I bought at Taka. Okay, it wasn't hanged properly. I'm sorry but I hope it looks nicer on me ^_^
Given by Xui Hui I think. Sheryl was the one that passed it to me. I love it! It's so adorable with my typical 'punk'-ness to it! Yay skulls! ^_^
I got this from Gio. I love this long shirt! It's so nice to wear! 'Happiness Is A Free Parking Spot' How true!A skirt my aunt bought from This Fashion. Very cute! Sorry this picture isn't good. My laptop camera kinda sux T.T Anyone wanna buy me a camera? Lolz
Another skirt bought by my aunt from This Fashion. The difference between the first and second skirt? This one has a belt in it. Pretty cool! ^_^ Once again, I apologize for the bad quality picture. T.T
The shirt I bought from Taka. The image is pretty artistic in a modern graffiti sort of way, I guess. I like it, even though it's pink. But hey! Black too! ^_^ *whispers* Though i would prefer it if the colours were inverted instead Lolz
One of the pictures I took on Xmas day. After coming home *coughALONEcough* I can bet you if I showed this to my mum or my grandmum, they would say that they like the 'sweet smile' I have on. Lolz
Me, trying to act smart! Lolz No matter what people say about my glasses *coughNERDYcough* I still like it and I'm still gonna delude myself into saying that it's EMO glasses! Lolz
The pinky ring Izyani bought for me. It's to symbolize our friendship. She has one too. We engraved it. On mine, it's NIGHT-RIOT and hers, it's DARKSPIDER. Our nicknames/pen names ^_^
A kinda last minute ring bought on impulse by my mum. She thought it look great on me and asked if I wanted it. Hellooooo? It's a RING! Of course I accepted! ^_^ There are three small diamond studs on it. Of course, it's those cheap, stainless steel (I hope) rings but hey! A ring's a ring! And I love this one too! ^_^

Alrightey! That's all the pics that I have up! I still promised Miki that I'll take a picture of my new hairstyle so I'll do that soon! When I'm more dressed up xD

But Sheryl and Pauline said it wasn't obvious! T.T And Shih Yann, Annu, Fazillah and Li Ying noticed it straight away and said it was really nice! Though I love Sheryl and Pauline (as older sisters and great friends and mentors), majority wins! So I hope it's really nice and noticeable! Lolz

All right then, I gotta get some rest first so I'll check back another time!

*chuu* <-- for those who don't know, it's the jap version of the sound you make when you give kisses! Lolz I think it's weird and cute! ^_^ So...

*chuu*

I love music. It is my whole life. I can't survive with it.
I hope to be able to play the drums or guitar (electric) [that's once i have enough money to buy one].

I'm currently into Japanese music, and I love mixing their fashion with my own taste! ^_^

My new love is dancing, alongside singing, acting, writing romance fiction and creating fashion styles.
It allows me to express myself when I can't.
It relieves me from my stress.
Overall, I love dancing - I just need to get a confidence for it.

Hanging out with friends is another plus in my life. Friends, to me, equals to loyalty and honesty.
