Summer vacation, here I come! =D

*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.

Baby, the Stars Shine Bright!

Staff of BTSSB, one of the most well-known sweet lolita Brands ^^
http://www.kamikazegirls.net/isobe.html

*Yes! It's a bit of a dream job*

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 ^^

@ http://www.lacarmina.com/blog/2007/11/vivienne-westwood-rocking-horse-ballerina-shoes/

I'm alive!

Ahh, 2010, be gentle k? =P

Anyone going for Nuffang's Paranormal Activity screening on Tuesday, 5th Jan?

Just watched Alvin and the Chipmunks 2 today ^^

If you've noticed the Youtube section on my sidebar, no points for guessing why I wanted to watch the squeakquel (didn't even watch the first one) XD

Chipettes! *Ahem... found out it sounds like a horny word when pronounced in the Cantonese dialect, but.... but the girls are adorable!* =P

The movie makes you want to go out and buy the Chipmunk-ed soundtrack, keke.

Chipmunks: Right Round

Chipettes: Hot n Cold (^^)

Ohh, wanna know what's sucking my time and distracting me from my online social life? =.=

This uber addictive place where you can "browser shop" and click, click, click to look at all sorts of things.

Ya lor, http://www.taobao.com (China-based online auction/shopping platform)

Lolita and cosplay clothing; trendy Japanese brands (some sellers have authentic Cecil stuff!); Korean fashion knock-offs... lots of stuffu!

Haha, I'm contend just to look but time flies by so quickly. So no more long hours on TaoBao >.<

P/S: KF's not done with the pics yet. Club's been busy lately preparing for the upcoming sem's activities.

Comic Fiesta today was awesome! ^^

Didn't stay long but I got to dress up and bring along plushie Mokona XD

But... I knocked my car into the blardy pillar at Sunway Pyramid's teeny tiny parking lot T.T

~ Pics of my semi-lolita outfit when I get it uploaded =D

Muaxx!

P/S: East Asian culture enthusiasts, here's your new time-waster XD http://www.oneinchpunch.net/

I've got to stop Caramell Dancing =.=

It's just so addictive! XD *shakes right, shakes left... lalala* *LOL*

Ok, back to what I meant to blog about =P

What's your take on studs?

Um... not your average (male) stud, although those are rather interesting *cough tigerwoods cough but seriously he's.got.a.supermodel.at.home.and.he.wants.pornstars?!*

So anyway, studded this-and-that's, you like?

I don't like.

Not really in any case, especially huge studs and heavily studded items.

Or perhaps it has to do with the type and arrangements of studs, because I adore these...

http://couturecarrie.blogspot.com

Yummy contrast of textures and colours. Helps to balance the Amazonian warrior aspect of studs XD

http://www.theinsider.com/photos/1113160_Burberry_Mini_Warrior_Studded_Hobo_Bag

Tres Quirky ;)

http://couturecarrie.blogspot.com

Elegance with modern day attitude. Nice! :D


From research though, studs were more of a 2007/2008 thing, so Malaysians probably love their studs since studded bags are still so 'hot' :P

One thing's for sure though, I'm lovin' lace! ^^

Lace, Lace, I love you!

I'm lazy

So here ya go... vids! =P

You know how I like the cheesiest stuff from Japan (not just the to-eat type yea XD )

... and how I don't care if I'm outdated by a gazillion years?

;)

I hereby torture you with



Gyaru Para Para



Caramell Dansen/Dancing (English Version)

Happy hyper-ing. Be thankful (if) you're not in my anime club XD

I have evil fantasies of making club members do those dances on campus, nyahahaha ;)

Hola!

Pulling some extra days and hours next week @ Paperdoll Boutique Tropicana City Mall.

Come do your X'Mas shopping and make me happy by keeping me company XD

If you're not already so tall that flats are your ultimate must haves, there's pretty pwetty heels like these

.Paperdoll.

Comes in sizes 37-39 for most designs, ranging in price from RM75-79. Some of them would even make good dress shoes ^^

Quick S.Berry Byte XD

Added some new blogs to my *Cookies* list ^^

This is the section with the blogs of NN friends, as well as other blogs I enjoy reading :)

So, you could say that section is kinda like in a constant state of Work in Progress =P

Ooooo... who is it meeting Queen E? Some aristocrat? Madonna?

*sshhh if you already know ;) *

Looks kinda like Madonna right? Guess it has to be her, being one of the few platinum blonds in entertainment prestigious enough to meet the Queen.

............

Uh-uh. Try again ;)

It's GaGa Ooh La La XD

Erm, yes, her

http://www.celebrity-gossip.net/celebrities/hollywood/lady-gagas-2009-ama-stage-display-212502/

Meeting Her



We~ell, they might have the same eccentric taste in fashion XD

Have you seen some of the Queen's hats? o.0

My eyes =.=

So, we have Lady G caught in a Bad Romance and Q.E caught in a Bad Hat-Romance =P

Looks like there's not as many differences between them after all.

Extras// press article (funny XD )

Who in the world looks so happy to be clumsy?!

Adele the klutz strikes again >.<

AAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!

Injured my hand at work today (pain, k?), AND lost the studded cap of my left earring =.=

It's in a pattern that's darn hard to find, and the inner Ms Adele OCD is driving me nuts T.T

Plus, it's metal (pricey non-allergy causing type, not plastic or alloy) so what to do... have to go look for a substitute instead.

Blah!

Back to my anime. Here's a clue to what I'm currently addicted to:

Opening Baccano
Uploaded by Mirirald. - Watch feature films and entire TV shows.

Ah! Paradiso!

I'm a Sherlock Holmes in the Making

Mwahaha XD You must be thinking, this gal has elephant-thick skin.

...But it's true, I'm an amateur detective! Somewhat :P

You see, I was wondering from this poster below:

Cheesy Macaroni! Is that Holmes and Watson?! 0.0

I always thought they'll look like this:

Aren't they supposed to be like, a lil frumpy?

And then I put two and two together. Eureka! The magical word's Hollywood!

Which studio will want to invest in frumpy detectives aye?



I don't think Sir Arthur Conan Doyle ever intended for Holmes to ditch his signature tweed coat, but those are pretty awesome outfits there ^^

Dandified version of the world's best known fictional detective XD

Need more proof that I'm an amateur Sherlock Holmes?

Me sniffed out the location of the mystery image Nuffnang sneakily hid in 2 blogs =D


Try finding my tiny watermark too, and spy on which sites I browse~ ;)

My watermark's really pretty and sweet (humor me? I hardly edit my pics, even if it's just MS Paint :P) , but it's barely visible. Boo-hoo :(

The next puzzle I want to solve is the mystery of Stephy-nie XD

I stalk follow her on Blogger, FB, MSN and even have her number... but I've never met her! o.0

How now strawberry cow? Surely I must decode the mystery surrounding her, and find out more about the case whereby she helpfully posted clues in her blog on how to track down the images :P

New Moon's surprisingly better than I expected XD

Thank Olympia they did away with quite a bit of the slow-talking 17th century-ish dialogue between Edward and Bella.

Alice + Bella
http://sigmatwiomega.wordpress.com/2009/07/21/alice-bella-reunion

Alice plays a bigger role this time as well. Yay! Splendid!

I love her New Moon wardrobe. So Autumn in New York :P

Ohh... and while everyone's talking about Edward's pale skin and Jacob's abs (I like his soulful eyes more than the abs *swoon*), I think the cutest is...

Alec - Volturi Guard
http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Alec

*Ahem* O-kay!! I know Alec's supposed to be really young (which makes me pedo? o.0), but... I like!

Hehe. There's more!

Mess with me, not!
http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Alec

Oh gosh, the bad*** attitude and clothing. Don't know why, but I have this thing with coats? Kudos to the costumers, the button details on Alec's coat are fab! ^^

Oh Twilight Saga, if you were less "Oh Bella! Oh Edward! Oh Jacob!", I might really like you better XD

P/S: Successfully rolled eyes less throughout New Moon, although the eyes did twitch :P

That's an improvement, 'kay.

Thanks to Nuffnang, I'll be joining other Nuffies for the premiere of New Moon :)

Feel kinda bad la, coz there's lots of twi-hards who would really want to go, while I'm not a Twilight fan and got the opportunity instead.

However, as much as I don't really care for Edward, Bella and Jacob; I really do like Alice and the Cullens.

I love the bond between the members of the Cullen family, even though they're not blood relatives.

Those parts I'm definitely looking forward to.

So I guess it's... New Moon here I come! ;)

Will try to go with something vintagy or tres chic to complement Alice's sense of style ^^

P/S: Who's going? ^^

Most Nuffnang screenings I feel so shy to walk up to other Nuffies and intro myself, whether as fellow Nuffie or readers of their blogs.

So let me know in advance so I can look you up during the screening? XD

I've started work again at Paperdoll Boutique, Tropicana City Mall ^^

Shop girl + steam mistress XD

Sundays - Wednesdays; afternoons ;)

Pop by for a visit and for pretty clothes!

...

On another note, I've spotted a cute pair of earrings!

http://rainbowsdoodles.blogspot.com

Ace Cards earrings inspired by Alice in Wonderland :)

I love the heart in the middle, and the A initial. A for Adele! :P

There's more in the Alice in Wonderland series of earrings...

http://rainbowsdoodles.blogspot.com

My obvious fav's the Ace Cards, but the keys come in a close second.

And there's even mushrooms! Pretty unusual to find toadstool mushroom earrings eh? ^^
