LolitaWork & Kanon Wakeshima

2010-08-02T20:32:00.000-07:00

Do you love LoliGoth Fashion?

Well I do, I love the fashion with a Victorian style dresses, laces, black + white + red, and of course they look super kawaii too. I got an email from LaCarmina regarding her new blog post of Kanon Wakeshima and she opened up a contest on her blog. So do check it out here. If you haven't know, Kanon Wakeshima is a Japanese singer & cellist. Cello is a great instrument and is one of which I wanna learn to play too, yea I wish. She loves to dress up like the lolita-gothic style which is very unique in my opinion. Cello + LoliGoth = Coolness. haha. Watch this mv below.

Samgak Kimbap & Onigiri

2010-07-21T05:21:00.000-07:00

A few weeks ago, I watched Maangchi made this delicious looking samgak kimbap and wanted to make one, but problem is I don't have that special plastic wrapping they normally used, -.- nor do I know any nearby convenient store that sells Japanese/Korean goods around my area.

Finally I've tried out my first taste on samgak kimbap which I bought at the local supermarket food court..ha ha..It tastes goooooooddd okay eventhough it's only from the food court and not from a specific korean restaurant, well as long as I can taste it, ha ha ! I've had kimchi and chicken filling.And also bought this...I don't know what it is but the taste is almost FLAVORLESS! Samgak kimbap also remind me of Japanese's Onigiri. It's almost the same idea, rice wrapped with seaweed. Here's some cute Onigiri! Yea, maybe I can made this one.

ANKLE BOOTS! I WANT ONE OF THESE SHOES!

2010-07-08T02:24:00.000-07:00

These ankle boots really caught my eye! I LOVE 'EM A LOT! Maybe because I saw MGY wearing one of those "kinda similar" shoe in the drama. It's from the YESSTYLE.com page. There a lot more shoes, jewelleries, bags, beauty products, men's fashion on that site, mainly the Korean/Japanese styles.

Oh, it's so tempting ! O_________O

Seoul, Korea. Seoul Is Happy. Seoul Is Passion

2010-07-05T20:22:00.000-07:00

Places to go: SEOUL, KOREA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Korea is one of the place that I would really love to visit someday and experience it. Something about Korea that attracts me, the culture, the people, the intriguing hangul character, the korean language, authentic foods, fashion, entertainment and of course the ancient buildings/places/beautiful landscape. I am also an avid fan of K-dramas and also their k-pop-song-that-makes-you-wanna-learn-how-to-dance kinda feeling. Taeyang's Wedding Dress was like an addiction to me, seriously the dance move of it is really sleek, great music video too! What do you think?

Check out this beautiful ad of Seoul featuring Lee Byung Hun. This tv commercial will be aired in Japan.

Usually, I might get bored watching this type of drama but this one is really good and I LOVED IT. Lots of emotions going on and I have to say that Moon Geun Young plays her character as "Eun Jo" a very very excellent job.

Art On A Cup

2010-05-19T23:24:00.000-07:00

art or a cup of coffee?

For me, I like both! So yesterday, as I was *tumblr-ing* I came across this artworks that was hand drawn on a cup of Starbucks coffee! How cool is that? (I remembered what I did to my recycled painted can) which did not turn out well. :P Probably some of you guys would thought it was nothing fancy about, but I always love something that is random & creative. All this adorable, fun & lovable characters are looking so fancy on a cup of your favorite coffee, I still think it was a great work/illustration. I was just fainted by this adorable cuteness!!! ha ha just kidding. It was by tymm pronounced as "time" I guess. Simple things do come out to be big, truly inspiring & people let's recycle. ;P

tymm on facebook!

Facebook, it's just getting creepier nowadays!

2010-05-11T23:27:00.001-07:00

my goodness, but I think Facebook is getting a lot more creepier ever than before they started the site. To be honest, I like the old Facebook way back I don't know like 2004, 2005 or 2006 when I joined in. And what the heck is this news feed thing-y, like we get updates every single minutes from friends, em sometimes some of the updates I don't want to share with certain people but there it goes pop up and every time you comment on, other friends will get to read all your comments on certain topic, things + blah blah blah. I do feel it's kinda creepy. And half of the person I add in, I don't really know them. ha ha. Except for my boogers of d.c.m.f.e.r.s. ^_^

Privacy versus profit at Facebook

by Glenn Chapman – Sun May 2, 8:29 am ET

SAN FRANCISCO (AFP) – Facebook's evolution from online club house to Internet powerhouse is raising fears that the social network is trading privacy for profit.

The California company's recent move to become omnipresent with software "plug-ins" that let people's online communities follow them to any website is the latest iteration to raise hackles of privacy advocates.

When Facebook users visit websites with "open graph" plug-ins, on-screen windows show which friends from the social network have gone to those pages and what they had to say about them.

While Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg touted the change as part of an inevitable shift to personalized and social online experiences some see it as creepy.

"The Web is at a really important turning point right now," Zuckerberg said while announcing the revamped platform at an f8 developers conference in San Francisco on April 21.

"We are building toward a Web where the default is social."

Privacy advocates maintain that Facebook is betraying members drawn to the service as a way to privately share their lives with friends.

"This is a transition from pretty good privacy to Facebook making categories of information available to construct business deals," said attorney Kurt Opsahl of Internet rights defense group Electronic Frontier Foundation.

"It seems that they want to go to sites and say 'We have this treasure trove of user information, what do you have?'," he continued.

The online social network that boasts more than 400 million members worldwide started in 2004 as a way for college friends to stay in tune with each other.

As Facebook's popularity soared it came under pressure to make money.

A Beacon advertising system that automatically shared Facebook users' online purchases with the website was abandoned after outrage about intrusion on privacy.

"It seems like this is the new and improved Facebook Beacon," Electronic Privacy Information Center staff counsel Ginger McCall said of the open graph.

"It was very much built on 'Here is this thing your friend liked, maybe you would like this too.'"

Facebook executives were adamant that this isn't a money grab, saying they built no revenue component into the open graph platform.

The website's online advertising model is expected to generate more cash as Facebook becomes a bigger part of people's lives.

The number of websites using Facebook social plug-ins has rocketed to more than 50,000 from just 75 when the feature launched.

Opsahl and McCall pointed out Facebook has not disclosed financial terms of deals with partners.

"Facebook is entering into business deals where the Facebook part of the transaction is user information and the other party's part is unknown," Opsahl said.

Even if partners didn't pay, Facebook is leveraging its access to user information to construct business deals, the attorney argued.

Facebook made it clear that friend information in windows at websites is for users' eyes only.

"It really has no privacy implications," Zuckerberg said at f8. "I think this means people will be sharing less information when they don't need to around the Web."

Facebook users have to be signed into the service for plug-ins to trigger and sharing requires people to click on icons.

Privacy advocates worry that outside websites could get Facebook information considered public, with gradual changes at the social network forcing more user data into that category.

For example, Facebook recently linked members' interests, such as bands or films, to "community" pages with rosters of backers deemed public.

Some suspect Facebook's drive for a social Web is really about behavioral targeting of online advertising.

"It is about making money," said analyst Rob Enderle of Enderle Group in Silicon Valley. "The privacy thing is secondary. Any service you get for free you are giving up something; in this case some aspects of your daily life."

Facebook paints a picture of its members enjoying an Internet where visiting any website was akin to entering a bar where everyone knows your name or a restaurant where servers know your tastes and preferences.

"I think the exposure is pretty minimal," Enderle said. "As far as we know, they are not selling your names to the Mafia. I think this is a tempest in a teapot. You have a choice, you don't have to use the website."

And so how does the people of Japan sees Facebook, look what my blogger friend, Kirin have to say here: Why Facebook Is Not Popular In Japan?

Hachiko

2010-03-04T08:58:00.000-08:00

SO emotional week this have been.

I love dogs.
Have you heard of Hachiko Monogatari? well this movie was released in 1987 and Hollywood remake the movie again entitled Hachiko: A Dog's Story starring Richard Gere. It's about this loyal dog (the dog is an Akita), Hachi. Everyday Hachi would wait for his master to come back from work, at Shibuya Station, even when his master died, he still waits for him. :( So touching. Watch this clip:

Monkey Majik

2010-03-02T22:01:00.000-08:00

Monkey Majik, Monkey Majik. I LOVE Monkey Majik.

My bestie introduced me to their music a while back ago, and wow I really like it. Consists of two Canadians and two Japanese as the band members. That's why some parts of their songs in English & Japanese. The kind of their music I would interpret is the one that you'd be nodding you head all the way long & you'll never get bored. ha ha.

designs by steppie!

2010-02-25T00:47:00.000-08:00

Do you love pandas?
Cute little things?
Yes?

So, you're good to go with me now into "Steppie World" killing you with cuteness fosho!

I found Steppie on Etsy a few months ago, when my DCMF pen pal Caroline posted a tweet about how she wanted a panda hat! Absolute cuteness! I totally fall for steppie's artworks as well. It has been an inspiration for me again to grab my pen/brush/drawing material and get on to do something.

I love arts, ever since I was in primary school I always joined in any drawing competition just for fun of it, better still I'm having a good time drawing and coloring at that time. In high school, I participated in one of the design competition held by INTI College but our team did not win. We were making a big lotus flower out of recycled cans/items such as newspaper. It was crazy big, and carried it away with a truck! I love sending cards too to my friends, I made them cause I really like to create something at that time. I did thought of pursuing arts after high school cause I know that's what the best thing I could do. Anyhow, disappointingly I did not further my studies with art. I think t'was my biggest mistake ever. As I look at everyone now, they are so successful and happy but here am I still figuring what will happen with my life. (ha ha this is like spilling my heart out) Hm, that was some little info back!

Back to topic, check out steppie on ETSY!
And be a fan of steppie on facebook.

peace out peeps! =)

100 Yen Shop In Miri

100 Yen Shoppu.

First heard of this shop when I went to Kuching last year, and I saw this shop's banner. I will get very excited everytime I saw some Japanese or Korean banners like shops, restaurant and etc. So, I went in the shop in Kuching, they sells lots of Japanese foods, ramen, cute little containers and etc. It's quite cheap. But I ended up didn't buy anything.

And now 100 Yen is opening its branch in Miri...ahhhh...I'm so excited (not that I live in Miri) but it got nearer. Never been to this branch yet, but they got facebook. 100YenShopMiri

He did very impressive origami, not that common crane or airplane that I used to make! hahaha, what really amazed me, is that he only used a piece of paper! now, that's really amazing!
I love this one, a character from Rozen-Maiden.

So, this is the curry roux I'm using bought from the mall....Vermont Curry..hm..with a touch of apple and honey...

The Sukiyaki Song

2009-04-03T09:58:00.000-07:00

I remember when I was learning the Japanese Language, my sensei, Soeda sensei teaches us a song, called Ue O Muite Arukou (上を向いて歩こう) by Kyu Sakamoto. Well, it's the Sukiyaki Song made popular by 4PM if you ever know the tune, but the lyrics are way different from the Japanese version. My sensei said that some Westerner at that time, heard this song and they like the tune very much, but they don't know the title of the song, so they named it sukiyaki, cause apparently at that moment they were having sukiyaki at a restaurant. Sukiyaki is a Japanese Beef meal. So correct me if I'm wrong on this one.

This is Kina Grannis, doing a cover of this song. Lovely song and perfectly done.

Ue o muite arukou

Namida ga koborenaiyouni

Counting the stars which spread
I remember one summer day
Lonely night

Happiness is over the clouds
Happiness is over the sky

I'll walk along looking up
So tears do not roll down
I walk crying

I remember one autumn day
Lonely night

Sadness is in the shade of the star
Sadness is in the shade of the moon

A Plant In Japan Actually Blogs! Amazing Facts!

2008-10-22T00:47:00.001-07:00

I found something pretty interesting in the newspaper today. It's a blog, and the writer is suprisingly a plant named Midori. And Midori-san is an plotted plant placed on a cafe counter in Kamakura, Tokyo. In Japanese, midori means green. The plant is a hoya kerrii and also known as the sweetheart plant due to it leaf shape. Well, me, myself don't know what is this hoya kerrii plant. But the name sounds so kawaii. Well, the blog is fully written in Japanese. I have my hard time reading it too.

Here's the blog. (it's written in Japanese, I don't even know how to read it)

Here some of the blog post I took from Eastern Times, October 22 :

"Today was a sunny day and I was able to sunbathe a lot...I had quite a bit of fun today", Midori-san, whose name means "green" in Japanese posted on Oct 16.

And the latest entry reads: "It was cloudy today. It was a cold day".

Wow, the technology is so amazing now. They can even know what plants says. There were sensors on the plant that allows data to be sent to computers. So from that, it can easily translate it into words that we understand. It would also be good if they can do it with the hamster. :)

I owned a pet hamster named Chi-Chi.

ShabuKun Japanese Restaurant

2008-10-13T19:29:00.000-07:00

It's been a while since I had my Japanese cuisine at Sakae Sushi in Penang.There's one Japanese restaurant at my hometown called ShabuKun Japanese Steamboat restaurant. I went there with my sis and mom. I had my beef rice. It tastes great. The baby octopus tastes a bit weird for me and the chuka wakame is still acceptable.They even selling edamame there but I haven't try it yet. I got some pics here.

This is the chuka wakame:)

Hiro Mashima Fairy Tail MangaKa

2008-08-20T18:52:00.000-07:00

Hiro Mashima.

Who is this guy? Well, he is the manga-ka 漫画家　for Fairy Tail comic which is one of my favourites. He's been invited by DEL REY MANGA as a guest honour at San Diego recently. And he done a live demonstration of his drawing technique here.

DEL REL MANGA is a good site to keep updated with the world of manga. I love reading comics because they are a lot of fun and exciting to read. When an episode ends I just can't wait for another book again. It's more likely like watching drama but the different is just how the expression the artist put on the character.

I started to read Dragon Ball and read it till it ends. So sad they were no Dragon Ball stories anymore. Me and my siblings would share to buy the comic book. So, it loops around. That's how determined we are to read Dragon Ball. Here's his interview.

August Is Coming

So, it's August now and so does my birthday..^たんじょうび、たんじょうび＾　８月９日.
Getting older for one more year.

I found out this site about festivals in Japan (Festivals In Japan). I've been to BonOdori in Penang before. There were lots and lots of stalls selling Japanese dishes such as sushi, ramen, takoyaki and etc(I forgot some of the names). I get to see children and some grown-ups wearing yukata. They also give away some free fan (uchiwa - うちわ）. At night, they were performance ended up with some fireworks!!

Sushi

2008-07-24T18:51:00.000-07:00

I love eating sushi and I can tell you guys it is not that difficult to make one.

Well, my friend taught me how to make sushi before and it didn't take that much time.

All you need is some vinegard sushi rice, cucumber/carrots/avocado, shrimps or perhaps a bit of tuna mayonaise, crab sticks and nori sheet.

I found this very informative about the sushi world here.

Maneki-Neko

2008-07-17T18:12:00.000-07:00

I bought this Maneki-Neko when I was at the Penang BonOdori last year which they will held it every year on the month of July. I won't be able to go this year. :(

Maneki-Neko is the Japanese Beckoning Cat. "Neko" means cat in Japanese. When the right paw is lifted it means invites wealth or fortune and the left paw means invites people or customer.

That's why some shops display their maneki-neko in front of their shop. The most famous maneki-neko I've seen around here is the moving paw maneki-neko. In gold colour. It looks like the cat is calling you to go in the shops. This cat comes in various of colours and meanings. I found this interesting site here.

Cute Handphone Charm

2008-07-16T17:47:00.000-07:00

I just luv super "kawaii" handphone straps. I bought this little japanese girl wearing kimono I guess when I was on holiday at Kota Kinabalu, Sabah.

This one is an angel. It is made from Swaroski crystal. Really cute, huh? It have the wings and all. You can view more some of these crystal here

And this is the famous alien taken from CJ7 movie. The green glowy creature.

J-Drama (Anna San No Omame)

2008-07-15T22:11:00.000-07:00

Anna-san No Omame,

That's the title for this drama. Well, when I first watched this drama it gives me that annoying feeling EVER! It's about this girl, Riri (Becky) who gets extreme misunderstanding with everyone she met. But in a way, this story is very interesting though and funny. When I watched it for the 2nd time, I found it very much more enjoyable (ew, I'm sorry to say this). I think Becky is so funny acting for this character. My favourite episode is when Riri and Kyotaro (Kashiwabara Shuji) exchanging their body, just like Freaky Friday, White Chick and Papa to Musume Nanokan. This time, I can see that Riri becoming normal. ^o^ And Kyotaro becoming just like Riri but in different body. If u want to watch something just for fun this may be it.

Cartoon KAT-TUN

Konnichiwa minna!

I haven't been posting here for a long time since, yeah I don't know when.

I like watching this Japanese show recently that is "Cartoon KAT-TUN" (カートゥンKAT-TUN). It's a talk show and their host is of course the Japanese pop group from Johnny's Group KAT-TUN. The show began just last year on April 2007.

Suprisingly, the theme song for this show is...GirlFriend by Avril Lavigne. Well, I love this show because every episode of it they were really funny. How Asian, aite? They have 6 segments for the show, but every week the segments will change.

100Q is the main segment, and the guest have to fill up a questionnaire before the show began. The answers will eventually scroll across the TV screen on a rotating ring and so, if any of the member who gets interested in knowing more, they simply touch the ring and it stops. Pretty interesting, huh?

And then, there's the MINI STAGE where the KAT-TUN will perform. DAT-TUN5 is a game of bingo darts. Avril Lavigne have been to this segment of this show before. Another one of my favourite is SMILE ATHLETE NO.1 DECISION BATTLE, they have to maintain their smiles while doing heavy athletic game. This is so funny because normally it would be hard to keep on smiling while we are pulling out all our strength.

The DANGEROUS PRESENT EXCHANGE, it looks like some smugglers trying to exchange their things to those KAT-TUN guys. I watched Ne-Yo before, exchanging gifts with KAT-TUN and he get a sneaker which he wears it on the MTV award.

♥disk is where the artist that they invite will talk about their favorite songs. I know 'bout KAT-TUN more after watching ONE POUND GOSPEL starring Kamenashi Kazuya (Hatanaka Kousaku). This drama is based on a comic book bout a boxer falling in love with a sister. I love Kamenashi-san character here and he plays it well.

Japanese cuisine @ Sakae Sushi

2008-05-01T05:50:00.000-07:00

I went to Sakae Sushi at Queensbay Mall yesterday and ate my favourite dish. That is TERRIYAKI CHICKEN DONBURI. Here's the picture. Oooo....oishii...! The chicken tastes so great together with the onions, and the rice is so cute.

And this is the unagi temaki, scrumptous, the filling is of course the unagi, cucumber slices and cabbage, and rice...all together wrapped with the seaweed.

Below is the salmon sushi, cost me only RM1.90 for the green plate, Rm3.90 for pink plate and Rm5.90 for red plate.

This is new menu i tried, YAKI-SOBA. Looks like 'mee goreng', but in Japanese style. It have the BONITO, on top of it. And can see clearly that they are waving here n there. LOL. yeah, it's true, the bonitos are waving. I also tried the YAKO-TAKI, oishii too!

I also found this at Living Cabin, Rilakkuma keychain. I can't believe it. It's so cute with a bell in it.

My First Ever Crochet Experience, nothing big actually

Haha, this video so cute, hugging rilakkuma.

Last Saturday, I went out to buy my first amigurumi book. I learned how to crochet. For the first time, I get to know how to crochet. Here's some that I've created. A lollipop and a white-bally-creature-with-orange-hat.

Rilakkuma by San-X

2008-04-25T21:59:00.000-07:00

Thanks to Kirin-san, I've gather some information about another cute character, that is Rilakkuma　（リラックマ）. Um, yeah it's the combination of Japanese pronunciation of relax and kuma, the Japanese word for bear. Who is this little Rilakkuma? He's a brown type of bear and lives in the house of an office lady, Kaoru. Rilakkuma have friends, Korilakkum and Kiiroitori. Korilakkum is a small white bear and likes to play pranks on Rilakkuma when he's sleeping, and kiiroitori is a yellow chick. They all are the Japanese character produced by San-X.

AMIGURUMI Kawaii yo!

2008-04-22T22:18:00.000-07:00

As I was browsing around at Popular Bookstore that day, I bumped into some super kawaii creature crochet made "AMIGURUMI".

Amigurumi is Japanese craft of crocheting stuffed toys and they are really tiny in size. Which makes them so adorable and super kawaii. I'm going to learn to do this.

Here's some of the picture I got from this site:

Music On The Rack

2008-04-22T21:07:00.000-07:00

Hey, my exam week haven't over yet. I've still got one paper left that is my laser paper. I haven't done my revision. My Japanese paper was so hard just now. I'm so confused when it come to the particles. Darn! But, anyhow what's done has been done. *grins* Ha Ha.

Hey, PARAMORE RIOT! album is super fantastic. There are 11 tracks on them:

1. For A Pessimist, I'm Pretty Optimistic
2. That's What You Get
3. Hallelujah
4. Misery Business
5. When It Rains
6. Let The Flames Begin
7. Miracle
8. Crushcrushcrush
9. We Are Broken
10. Fences
11. Born For This

My all time favourite, that would be track no. 2 that is That's What You Get and Hallelujah. First time listening to Paramore was when I heard "Pressure" from the FueledByRamen's website.

FueledByRamen was the record label featuring lots of popular artist too like Panic! At The Disco, Fall Out Boy and Yellowcard. Hayley's performance is very very energetic as well, should watch their live performance videos.
