I’m gonna rain on you.

I missed out Day 4 cos all i did was walked around, got hit by a sudden headache and slpt almost the whole day away.

Anyway,It was really cold today cos it was raining.

Free Mc Donald’s coffee made my day.

It was off to Harajuku agaiTn.

And was greeted by Hangry and Angry~!!

Naoto is having an event today~Cute sales people are cute~!!

My mission for the day is to find a polaroid back for my Holga~!
And the destination~!

an obscure store with a tiny sign.

An awesome amount of old cameras and toy cameras make my day~!

The polaroid back was out of stock and I ended up having to buy the Holga champion kit.
it consists of:

• Holga 120GCFN
• Polaroid back
• 35mm film back
• Fisheye for Holga
• Fisheye holder attachment
• Holga effect kit which includes 11 filters
• 35mm 120 and polaroid films
• Holga phone strap

Awesome amount of nonsense which costs me a grand total of 39,900yen T___T
I am so broke.

But yes you are the King indeed.

The other toy camera at the bottom is the Golden Half by SuperHeadz.
and i also bought the flash for it.

It’s supposed to take photos like this.

And I phailz epic at taking polaroids.
I’m totally not used to the fact that I have to use flash.

Dinner is Okonomiyaki~!!!

I went to 3 closet childs today.

Shannen and I met up today to walk around.

I’m kinda tired to blog right now so I’m going to just show pictures.

Shot for the day.
I love love love love the corset. but it’s such a pain to wear.

Shannen and myself in Mos burgers at almost sundown, realising that we still didn’t have photos of each other.

Dinner today is at First Kitchen. The best fries in the world are served here.

Spoils for the day~!

Mille noir underbust corset which I saw in Nagoya~ I got it for 8,800yen. CHEAP~!!!
Moitie jacket with bat wing pocket flaps.
Naoto blood long skirt.
Sumi skirt
Victorian Maiden bolero.

I also bought alot of random bento crap from Tokyu Hands which I’m too lazy to post up.
And a ridiculous amount of hair rollers from Daiso.

Teaser shots for the day.taken by zemotion

I retired really early on day 1 cos I didn’t sleep on the plane the day before.

Anyway, woke up early to prepare for the an epic photoshoot. I think my hair took 1.5hrs to do.

I feel like a genius.

I applied for my leave last Sept and I was just guessing the dates when the sakuras would bloom in Tokyo. And guess wad? The day before I arrived, they started blooming.

My timing is impeccable.
And i heard it’s going to rain tomorrow and all the flowers would fall off. Isn’t the timing just awesome??????
Kami-sama watches over me~!!! *w*

And zer0 and I really have to thank Chris for helping us with everything. From taking us around, to carrying stuff for us and translating.

At one point of time when I was dressing up with the kimono, we had to ask for help and these 2 middle-aged women came and help us with the kimono. I was basically dressed in 5mins, obi and all.
;_; They are so kind.

And along the way there were other middle-aged BFFs who adjusted my obi and kimono. it’s like changing stylists every 15mins. Awesome shit.

We headed to Nippori in hope of finding awesome Japanese parasols for another shoot but no avail… so we headed to Asakusa instead.

That place is like Kyoto in Tokyo.
*w*
okay maybe not… cos I’ve never been there. But it is what I wld’ve imagined it to be. Huge temple. Big red lantern and rows of shops selling traditional japanese wares.

Anyway, I was being dumb by bringing out only my cash and forgot all about my credit card cos I thought I was just going out for a photoshoot. -_-;;;

But I spent a great deal of moolah at Asakusa.

Japanese Parasols

Kanzashi
These things are epically expensive but these pics do not do them justice~~

This was today’s dinner. Beef cubes at Pepper Lunch.

And that concludes day 2 when I’m sitting at the laptop still wearing my socks. XD

Plane ride was uneventful, so don’t expect any reports on that.

Immigrations was a pain to clear. It took me more than an hour to clear it and collect my luggage. After that it was smooth sailing, from buying train tickets to Tokyo and finding my way to the awesome apartment that I’m staying in.

I’m staying in Kodenmacho, a station near Akihabara on the Hibiya line. In this apartment block called Stylim.

It’s an award winning apartment and everything inside just screams “DESIGNER~!!!”

They put so much attention into the equipment and fittings. The toilet seats that are installed have heater function.
The kitchen space is small but functional and useful for just one or two person staying there.

The entrance area’s light is activated by a motion sensor and the pendant lamps in the apartment are made to slide around so that you can achieve different lighting effects.

The toilet heater has an announcement function when you change the temperature.

And i stole this photo from zer0. LOL…

Isn’t it freaking awesome???

So after being super awed by the apartment, zemotion and I set out for Harajuku. I bought a whole bunch of Swimmer stuff which came up to about 8000yen. D:

Yes I know that’s alot of bento boxes, but they’re not all for myself.

This was yesterday’s lunch.
Beef stew omelette rice from Jonathan’s.

I forgot to add that there was a h00j mob in Harajuku near the entrance of Takeshita dori. I think alot of people were stampede-ed to death yesterday.

We then went to Shinjuku and I went crazy.
I bought all these.
Moitie blouse and choker, Excentrique underbust corset~!

I almost bought everything that I wanted to on the first day.
But I still can’t find the polaroid back for my Holga.
Ideas anyone?

This thing is freakishly accurate…esp the bad bits~!

What Xiaoyun Means

You are incredibly sexy and sensual. You have a naughty vibe that no one can ignore. You have an unquenchable desire. And you are unrestrained in your passions. You have a tendency to be unfaithful. Whether you fight it or give in to it is up to you. You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It’s easy to get you excited… which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don’t stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. You are usually the best at everything … you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic “Type A” personality. You are well rounded, with a complete perspective on life. You are solid and dependable. You are loyal, and people can count on you. At times, you can be a bit too serious. You tend to put too much pressure on yourself. You are a free spirit, and you resent anyone who tries to fence you in. You are unpredictable, adventurous, and always a little surprising. You may miss out by not settling down, but you’re too busy having fun to care. You are a very lucky person. Things just always seem to go your way. And because you’re so lucky, you don’t really have a lot of worries. You just hope for the best in life. You’re sometimes a little guilty of being greedy. Spread your luck around a little to people who need it. You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people. You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts. You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals.

Finally, after a few months of deliberating, procrastinating and angsting, I am finally going to go to Tokyo.

It is for sure now. I have my plane tickets. But my luggages are not packed yet. I have less than 24hours after I come back from Brisbane to prepare for my flight to Tokyo.

The loli clothes are packed, though I’m not sure if I’d be wearing them at all. There’s no one to dress up with me there.

Even before I have set foot on the holy land of Lolita, Mana-kami-sama has smiled on me and presented this baby to zer0 who snagged it for me when she described it to me on the phone.

Yes i know it’s her siggy. but I don’t have it with me okay???

ROZENKREUZ, YOU ARE FINALLY MEIN~!!

ok. this has turned out to be a totally pointless entry yet again.
Cya all in Tokyo.

Today I thought about content.

Honestly I am hardly home and when I am, I think about going far away again.
Traveling so much in the past year has widen my horizons to such an exponential extent, I cannot imagine how tiny my country really is. I am grateful at the same time I yearn for much more.

There are still so many things I have yet to experience, so much food I’ve never tried, so many friends I haven’t met. I have so many things in mind that I would like to accomplish and I believe I will never be happy with my life cause I always find faults with it.

And with that, I believe I will never be happy with myself. Nor feel that there will be anyone who is truly happy with me being “me”.

It’s 5am in Singapore.

But it feels like 4pm to me.

I’m completely on NYC time.

I heard a story from a couple whom I worked with.
They met each other at work.
He’s been working for 5 yrs and she’s been working for 5mths.
He courted, they dated.
3months later, he proposed and she said “Yes”.
18years and 3kids later, they’re still very loving.

sometimes, things work in such an amazing way.
It’s stupid to question it even though it is out of the norm.
What is too fast? What is too slow?
Who are we to decide?

I’ve been playing with photoshop lately.
A pic from the Switzerland borders.

I am so tired now.

Like really mentally tired.

I honestly don’t care if I die right now.

I’m not being emo or something.

I don’t even have mood for the Tokyo trip.

In fact I’m deliberating whether I should go in the first place.

Nothing matters right now.
