I’m gonna rain on you.

Dammit. I bought the most random stuff in San Francisco.

From clocks to cameras to shampoo and makeup.

another completely random note, I LOVE URBAN OUTFITTERS. They have the coolest stuff on earth.

And also, I’m severely jetlagged cos it’s 220am and I’m still awake.

ok~ on to pics~!

Random Puma store. trying out the fisheye lens for my mobile phone. i wish my lens were flat so the fisheye wld adhere properly.

Apple store~!!!
I finally got my ipod upgraded~

That green rim is from the fisheye. It wouldn’t adhere properly.

Food from cheesecake factory. It tastes better than it photographs.

Clock that I bought from UO.

Diana+ Edelweiss camera from lomography~!
I have 5 toy cameras so far~!!!

TINNNNNY babyliss flat iron. awesome for traveling.

I also bought a dress from american eagles which I’m too lazy to photograph and some makeup brushes from Sephora and 2 eyeshadows from Nars which looks just freaking awesome I had to buy them even though I’m a MAC fan.

That’s it for loots. Heading to Seoul tomorrow. Hopefully I get to go to Rose Chocolat.

I had another chance to meet up with the lovely lolitas from Paris finally~!!!

We headed to Galleries Lafayette for a Japanese event thingama that was going on.
I’m kinda lazy to put text. I’m the laziest blogger I knowwwww~
I’ll let the pics speak for themselves and umm~ add captions as I go along.

We only started the camwhoring outside of Harajuku (not Harajuku in Tokyo, but just a store named Harajuku which sells overpriced Moitie. )

I love love love Julie’s coordinations. The bodyline jacket is soooo much love.

That wolf bag is freaking awesome.

Gabrielle is a pinup loli~
How come the french lolis suit red lipstick so well???

We roamed around and headed to Luxemborg (god i hope this is how u spell it)okay wait, we were hanging out at a Starbucks before that. But I don’t have pics.

I love this photo. It’s such natural expressions. XD

Gabrielle does things I don’t understand but she’s so cute.

Lucy and Gabrielle were twinning.

Jeanne dropped by after work and she wearing a gorgeous skirt.

The rest had to go back and Jeanne and I hung out for dinner and everything. She took me to a nice pub where she had her first date so it’s kinda cute. I introduced her to Malibu Pineapple. but it doesn’t taste quite the same as the ones I had back home. Must be the pineapple juice that they use.

Anyway that’s the only pic of me that I have. It’s a freaking hot coordinate and the cape looks kinda big and floppy from the front. I have no idea how to fix that. :/

Anyway, by the end of dinner, I was sooooo bummed cos I haven’t slp at all~

I realised that no matter how much I love the french lolitas, I cld never be one of them simply because I am not french myself. It was a joy nonetheless hanging out with them cos they’re such cool people, but I truly truly belong in drama-filled Singapore. And despite all that drama hanging around, I do wish we could learn to appreciate each other and show hospitality to ppl who are visiting us just like the kindness that the other lolitas all over the world have shown me.

I’m really appreciate and thank the french lolis for their company and also the lovely macaroons I got to bring back. Thank you so much~!!! *hugs*

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~!!!

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?

I think it’s yearly cycle, I’m one who likes to change layouts of my environment.
Like blog layouts or my room layout.

If you ask my friends who have been to my house very often, they’d tell you that my room layout changes alot.

And now, as I’m typing, I’m in the midst of cleaning up and contemplating possible changes to make to my room.

I am one bored bitch.

onto other news, I was in Nagoya last weekend.
Subways are always my challenge in a foreign land.

Apple store in Nagoya. The layout reminds me alot of the one in San Francisco.

ANY fast food restaurant is good in Japan. Even good ol’McD’s.

This is dinner.

I love travelling, I really do. And if I had to say, I like travelling alone.
Nothing beats the sheer thrill of finding out how to go to a place and getting yourself there.

I had the honour of shooting with Nicoline once again during my brief stay in Amsterdam, and I had to travel up to Utrecht to meet her.

Sure, it was only a tram ride to the City Central station and another 30min train ride from Amsterdam to Urtrecht. But a person in a foreign land, it was mystery, it was excitement and possibly meant stepping out of his/her own comfort zone.

There is a certain charm to Amsterdam I can’t quite put my finger on… like there’s something sinister waiting deep within, shrouded by the winter nights that comes too soon. There’s much more character there. I’d love to go back again.

it reads “he awoke to feel numb again”

the best hot chocolates comes in a stick that you have to swirl in hot milk to melt. whipped cream is love.

Nicoline and I hung out for quite abit the day after the shoot in Amsterdam itself. Europe changes you. That old charm that still lingers behind.

The most annoying part of my trip was the throbbing pain from my wisdom tooth.

I like travelling alone. But I’d like someone to share it with too.

Ah~ when the weather is good, I feel so much less shittier.
I am feeling better, despite pending headaches and body aches.

So here I am prowling (hardly actually) the streets of San Francisco.

Ah~ Apple store~ how you tempt me so~!!!

you know i could call this a stairway to heaven.


*squeals*

Angry man is angry. “I implore you, buy a PC~!”

somehow or another, same angry man is here again~!! i swear i wasn’t stalking him.

random levis store

has to be the longest jeans ever.

wants to buy~!!

I loved how they encased an old building in a new one.

Ladies and gentlemen, THIS is Forever21.

Emmy Rossum is fuck sexy. I wanna bring that print home.

And finally~ my loot home.

Sigh… I was only contemplating the all black jumperskirt on Sunday…

And I went out and bought all these in 2 days. T___T

The major pwnage is the Vivienne Westwood bag that was love at first sight~! T___T SHOULDN’T HAVE GONE TO OIONE CITY~!!!

Here’s the damage:

1. Baby the Stars Shine Bright Black Jumperskirt
2. Baby the Stars Shine Bright White Cutsew
3. Baby the Stars Shine Bright White Parasol
4. Angelic Pretty White Headdress
5. Putomayo Pocket watch
6. Vivienne Westwood Black leather bag

I saw this caucasian girl in OIONE who was really funny. She was speaking spanish if I’m not wrong and she was practically hyperventilating when she saw Baby the Stars Shine Bright. I was standing around paying for my shoe clips and parasol when she did that. I found it extremely amusing thinking back at the first time where I, myself was standing there staring at H.naoto. I must’ve looked really funny to other people then too.
