*Yup, summer! It's the sunny season in the southern hemisphere, though technically Malaysia's always tropical XD *

I've found my new "I feel so depressed today" anthem XD
Listening to the lyrics for the first time, I was like wow... that's so me when I'm in my GAD (general anxiety disorder - it's an actual diagnosis, no kidding X_X) mood and it feels like evrything's crashing and burning.
Uh-huh. I know. Weird people and their idiosyncrasies =P
Oh, and the gal in the video's hot! XD I want to be able to pull of the rocker chic look too... except my face is too innocent =.=
Anyhow, Penang's on Monday! ^^ Hoping there'll be a little excursion to Chowrasta's second hand bookshops.
My idea of bliss:
Digging for "gems" among stacks of dusty old classics. Yea... geek, much? XD

Kyaaa! @@
I've been MIA for so long on my bloggu :(
My modem fried and sizzled on Monday, in a heavy thunderstorm. I've a new one now but guess what? I don't know how to connect to the wireless at my house through my laptop T.T (Noob, noob NOOB! >.< )
So, I have to use the computer in the study room, accompanied by lots and lots of mosquitoes that like to feast on me. Gee!
Ok, here's the plan - if you can call it a plan -
...I'm going to do a write up of the blogshops I've shopped at!
(Sorry Jo, I know you hate 'em)
No cover-ups, no sugar coating, just the bare truths. Brownies will be awarded if deserved and slush will be flung appropriately too ^^
This will only be up tentatively around end Feb/early March though. I've got to clear out of my house and move to the new (better!) one by February, so let this pack rat put her (many many) stuff into boxes first yea? XD
In the mean time, muacks! Take care and stay safe.
P/S: I'm heading north to Penang 25-28th February with friends! *pray our hotel not haunted k?* =P

Omigosh, Omigosh, Omigosh!
NYAAAAAAAAAA~!
XD
Who said university libraries were boring eh? =P
My very unexpected find:
It's fate! :P
I love the cover design and the lace pattern. Everything from font to colours go very well with the Lolita side of the novel.
Ahh, Monash Sunway library book stockist... whoever you are, sankyuuuuuu for this pop culture gem of a novel! (In hardcover too, oh you're such a saint! ^^ )
This is the very book by Novala Takemoto on which the Kamikaze Girls movie is based on. The very same movie that made me first aware of Lolita Brand (yup, Brand with a much revered capital B) clothing.
Although the older me has come to love Metamorphose more than BTSSB, the thrill still remains XD
Metamorphose is IMO slightly more Sweet Classic Lolita and a little more flattering for those above 16 years old, as there is the cut-off age even among the rorita community where sweet becomes vile.
Anyway, the movie is on my must watch list after I've moved house on the 11th, as a reward for "making the move" ^^
*I never got around to watching it although it's been years. With the book though, now's probably the right time :) *
The trailer looks so deliciously promising!
Ahh, forget about the trailer, even the movie posters are rabu-rabu material :D
I've heard great stuff about Anna Tsuchiya's take on the motorbike riding, Yanki gyaru Ichigo ;)
Finally, I leave you with an article on Vivienne Westwood's legendary Rocking Horse Ballerina shoes ^^
