Happy 6 month to me...happy 6 month to me...happy 6 months of photos, happy 6 more months.../end of lame song

Day 154: Name Cards

From Project 365 (v.2010)

Probably more for the turning point rather than the wow factor. As in...it feels kind of "adult" to have your own set of name cards to dish out. Definitely need to remake them soon though.

LOL Factor
Day 158: Mouth (@) Work

From

Who wouldn't laugh when you thought it was "Mouth Work" in the first place?! I would tell that restaurant to drop the @.

Blah Photo
Day 156: Sunset on the Wall
Lame photo. But it couldn't be helped when you're depleted from all forms of genuine joy.

Yet another emotional month. I'm glad it's finally over - too many emotional tantrums and zits. Definitely looking forward to the next few months when I can finally start taking better photos just for the sake of taking photos with my SLR once again. Joy!

Finally ventured out to the stores today. We bought some drinks after working up a thirst.

From Project 365 (v.2010)

Oreo milk tea and Oreo coffee from Happy Lemon. My milk tea tasted a lot like java chip frappuccino from Starbucks. Especially with Oreo floaty bits.

Didn't take a photo today, so I'm putting one I was meant to put up yesterday.

From Project 365 (v.2010)

It's been raining crazy on the day I got back. Low clouds in the mountains on the way home from the airport sighted!

I went home today. Can I say...SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEE! I've been ordering goodies from CDJapan for a while, and for the purpose of freeing luggage space as well as at least have someone sign for my parcels, I have them mailed back home instead of where I normally stay. Seriously.

The moment I started rubbing my palm against the plastic covers after ripping the tape with a letter opener, I was postively drooling, laughing like a creepy old geezer (think Courage the Cowardly Dog style "ah, ha, ha, ha...") and probably looking like an ecstatic character from The Oatmeal.

Ah...how I love my ever growing stash of the GazettE, Miyavi and SUGIZO goodies. XD

From Project 365 (v.2010)

Goodies from CD Japan! (Top-Bottom, Going Left-Right: Luna Sea compilation CD (only item not bought from CD Japan), Neo Genesis 2009 yearbook (the GazettE Before I Decay cover), SUGIZO Rise to Cosmic Dance DVD, SUGIZO Cosmoscape CD, the GazettE Filmbug I DVD, Miyavi photo (bonus item), Miyavi Fan's Best CD, Arena 37C Special Vol.48 (Uruha cover - thanks so much to Raya for getting this issue for me! :D), the GazettE's DIM band score/sheet music (it has guitar tabs!), Miyavi Neo Tokyo Samurai Black Tour Vol.1 [Special ed. w/ USB], Neo Genesis Vol.40 (the GazettE Before I Decay cover), Neo Genesis Vol.44 (Uruha and Aoi cover)) ZOMG!

It was my flat mate's last day in Singapore and we still had some gifts to shop for for our families. But beforehand, we went to a ramen store at a posher place. I'm going to miss her.

From Project 365 (v.2010)

This is one of the specials of the month at Ippudo...curry tofu with cheese! It's probably my love for curry, tofu and cheese that had my taste buds going. Don't know what my flat mate thought of it, it blended in well together. I hear the queues can get scary at peak hours, so we were pretty damn lucky.

It's been ages since I've had a wonderful souffle, can you imagine how I felt when a spoonful of this wonderful fluff melted in my mouth?

From Project 365 (v.2010)

Really, really, really delicious Bailey's souffle. Good souffle is hard to find. And I've found one!

Unbelievable, today is graduation day. 2 years of screaming, throwing blood and butchering fabric...wait, has it really been 2 years?

From Project 365 (v.2010)

The rehearsal for the graduation show at SCAPE. It's amazing what lights can do.

I'm not here to insult Singapore. But please, for the love of God and all things holy, please check your spelling before publishing!

From Project 365 (v.2010)

Spelling mistake! Can you see it?!

Zouk nightclub is probably the most popular venue for the local clubbing scene. As it's one of our classmate's birthday, we decided to end the night there.

From Project 365 (v.2010)

We didn't just have these 3 pitchers, but 4 to share amongst us! It was a buy 1 get 1 free special on Wednesdays at Zouk.

I hate backlogs. Let's hope that this will be one of the last massive ones!

This is the back of one of my classmates.

From Project 365 (v.2010)

Well, we were kind of bored. And my classmate looks cute with this hairdo.

I found a cute store that's similar to Hong Kong's Papyrus called Wood Would, selling really cute stationery and rubber stamps.

From Project 365 (v.2010)

What I love about this store is the layout. It has an old nostalgic feeling that seems to take you back in time - barrels, skinny display cupboards...I would probably spend money there if I didn't think it was expensive (damn you Singapore!)

Goldfish. Okay. Now I want to pop those cheeks!

From Project 365 (v.2010)

This lopsided puffy cheeked goldfish is always trying to pose for me in my face when I had my phone snapping away. So you'll get it then! *snap*

I was supposed to put another photo here, but didn't because you can't even see the parachutes! Well, it all started when some of us were sitting outside and we saw these parachutes landing from the sky out of nowhere, and they're most probably tied to a string. And we all wondered what it was all about until the taxi driver of the cab I was riding at the time on the way home told me that it was practice for national day. Wtf? And they closed the roads too for that! Not only was there a road closure, the entire national service must have been lined up on the highway, so you could see tanks, missiles, trucks, fire services, some defense thing, more tanks...the things this island would do to show off...

From Project 365 (v.2010)

It's not the greatest shot, but you can see trucks from the local army all lined up on the next lane. And it's going to be like this every Saturday until national day!

It's been a long, long, long day of fitting models for next week's fashion show. And on top of that, I still have a presentation to prepare and a report to clean up for tomorrow. Though that cheesecake at Starbucks is definitely a very good welcome into my break.

From Project 365 (v.2010)

I've taken a bite out of this Starbucks New York cheesecake, and it's way too delicious not to take a photo of it. And yes, I was working.

Doomsday today. And I feel plunked.

From Project 365 (v.2010)

Like the bunch of mannequins in the corner, I'm lost somewhere in a crowd of emptiness.

I like Kai with his dreadlocks. Head banging would be so cool with it! And he's my June pinup.

From Project 365 (v.2010)

June features Kai of the GazettE - the photo on the left features his outfit from Before I Decay and the one on the right for The Invisible Wall single / DIM album release.

As I look out the window, I feel...nothing.

From Project 365 (v.2010)

One of the numerous taxi rides home. I feel like an empty peanut at this moment. Insignificant yet blank.

A storm is slowly brewing.

From Project 365 (v.2010)

The storm you can see from my place. What appropriate weather for my mood, work and mind. /end sarcasm

Love hate relationship. I've never had one until I was confronted with chiffon. I would say love and hate because chiffon can look really beautiful when handled properly. But the hate? It's a real bitch to work with and something small can take ages to change and do. Ugh.

From Project 365 (v.2010)

The chiffon top I'm working on. I love and hate what I'm doing at the moment. Chiffon is only glamorous after it's been man handled properly.

I have been meaning to take this photo for some time, but never had an actual wanting chance to until today.

From Project 365 (v.2010)

That's the top of a bus stop! I was sitting on the top level of the double decker bus on the way home and able to take this cool shot from above rather than from below.

If you've never seen durians before, here's your chance!

You have to actually experience eating them yourselves to experience the smell and taste of it. (Total love.)

From Project 365 (v.2010)

Durians in Chinatown. We bought one and asked the seller to open it up for us. So. Delicious. SQUEE! I swear I was really happy when I sank my teeth into its yummy pulp.

As part of my portfolio, I need to do put my doll up on display and take photos of it. Bah.

From Project 365 (v.2010)

My mannequin with one of my designs. The halter top is a real bitch to make I tell you! What would you expect from a doll with a weirdly shaped chest?

Oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy! the GazettE's official MySpace page has a new header, featuring their new look for their upcoming new single [SHIVER]. Of course, downloading it off their page becomes a must do to cheer myself up.

And how appropriate - it's Uruha's birthday too! So happy birthday to my favourite guitarist! Please more wear "not pants" (a.k.a. "man shorts)" as always.

From Project 365 (v.2010)

I totally love the GazettE's new look for [SHIVER]. Kai kind of looks like Reita here. And happy birthday to you again, you beautiful wavy haired guitarist named Uruha! XD

I admit, I suck at sewing. Big time. And it drives me further nuts when I'm forced to continue with something that looks uglier the more I do it.

From Project 365 (v.2010)

This is what I say day in and day out these days. The sewing machine, the garment (that looks uglier by the minute), and me.

I LOL'ed when I first saw this sign.

From Project 365 (v.2010)

This is a new eatery near my school that serves Hong Kong style dim sum. The food is okay, but it's the sign that got me laughing. I swear I thought it said "Mouth Work" at first!

I've never heard of Kuroshitsuji until when I found out that Kuroshitsuji II's opening will be the new single by the GazettE. It's an interesting manga, though it's kind of dark with the butler as a demon and all that supernatural mojo going on.

From Project 365 (v.2010)

A shot of the preview for Kuroshitsuji II - the character in the shot is Claude. I have yet to find out whether Sebastian or Claude is cooler.

No mood again.

From Project 365 (v.2010)

A photo of the sunset on the bedroom wall. Yes, I'm in no mood again.

I'm expecting to do another massive update at a later date. Please pardon me if I go completely nuts by then.

Reality bites.

From Project 365 (v.2010)

A 45 degree shot. I must be running out of things to take photos of at home.

I went to the printer's again today, I didn't think they were going to be that fast in printing my name cards!

From Project 365 (v.2010)

My first set of name cards. I chose shiny paper, but because there's so much black, it didn't look as shiny as I had hoped. It's only 1 box of 100 cards, and I can always redesign them. At least I now can have something to dish out!

Wow, wow, wow! This bit of news really perked me up! the GazettE's MySpace blog has finally announced the title of their next single! You know, I almost screamed at the top of my voice when i saw it...but I was afraid some people might come running to see who was about to be murdered. LOL.

From Project 365 (v.2010)

A shot of the GazettE's blog that announced the single. Shiver is going to be featured as the opening for the anime KuroshitujiII, which I've never heard of. A new series perhaps...? Either way, it made my day.

The entire day was used to cab back and forth. Bah.

From Project 365 (v.2010)

The back of a cab. I've been sitting in various ones for the whole afternoon today. /DO NOT LIKE.
