Hello! So I haven't been posting much because I, honestly, forgot about this blog. I completely forgot about blogging. OTL
But some quick updates is that I recently started a new part-time at a restaurant/bar with really nice pay *w* The people are nice too, and there is a really cute bartender *w* (sixyearsagedifferencethoughomgthisiscausingmealotofpain)
Let's see what else has happened since I last blogged... *looks into the distance* Hmm, I guess a few events have passed? I went to J-Obsession and wanted to go Asia Cosplay Meet (commonly called Cure Fest) but it rained so I didn't go ACM in the end.
Also did a few casual/seifuku shoots with friends (went to Flower Dome and Sky Forest at Gardens by the Bay for the first time!!) and participated in the first Harajuku Walk in SG! Wore Lolita that day. I want to graduate from sweet loli le lol...
Okay! So that's all the highlights~ (lol)
Anime Matsuri at Funan IT Mall, by AFA starts tomorrow! I'm planning to go on Sat and Sun because the stage events for those dates interest me (and they haven't really released the schedules for the weekdays either?? AFA wat u doing) Planning to go on Friday evening if I can afford to!! (Chionging costume... current progress is 0%.)
Yep, and Saturday is training for the PIKA PIKA Party on 21 Jun as well, will go after visiting Anime Matsuri.
Yep. I should start styling my wig and then tomorrow after buying fabrics instantly pre-wash them then Tuesday start production.
All.. the best... to me.. lol... ganbarimasu...
Also, why do I just like guys with good-looking faces. Yea, why man. Why. Sigh.
Okay.

Romanised by *LIY For those who don't know Japanese, dokusen'yoku normally is written 独占欲 which means the desire the monopolise. The first kanji has been replaced with 毒 (poison) which is read in the same manner to form a wordplay. So the meaning of the title would be like a "poisonous desire to monopolise" or something like that? So that's why the title in English is Monopoison (or monopoisoner), kind of like you put "monopoly" and "poison" together... yeah.

Finally, something exciting in my life~ LOL
Went to the 2Degree Ice Art Exhibition at Marina Bay Sands area (it's just outside the lobby, opposite the taxi stand!) with Suzume, Natsumi and Nanami yesterday!
The experience was pretty fun, thanks to the ice slide they had, and the sculptures were all pretty amazing! Although, $20 for admission was slightly expensive for such a small exhibition. But it's Singapore yo, imagine the bills to keep the interior at -15 degree Celsius!
We entered at around 3plus, maybe 3:30pm? And stayed there for over an hour until "snowfall".
Honestly, their site contains too little information for certain things, somehow I think it's really "making themselves sound exciting/interesting by omitting certain information" kind of ploy. The snowfall was only at a certain area near the slide, and it was very, very small. And of course, the snow was really fake (it was just shaved ice, to put it plainly, but that's the best SG can get I suppose). It lasted for about 5minutes.
I wore tights with a skirt that day (because SG is so bloody hot, I'd rather shiver than perspire yo) and my butt was freezing after playing on the slide LOL.
Anyway, the costs for entering the exhibition is on their website. Student rate on weekdays is $20. AND important: You have to rent the winter coat for $5. Yea, so bring your own coat if you have one, or maybe pack a thicker jacket if you want. Especially if you plan on taking photos because um, no way I'd be caught dead in that. It's not ugly, per se, but I don't like padded jackets. And if you're cheapskate, like me. $5 can feed me a few meals at work y'knowww. And I felt really caught off-guard because NOTHING was stated about the coat rental on the website; I clicked like everywhere just exploring the site and not once did they mention the coats. So yea. I actually wore a t-shirt with a cardigan that day so I just went in like that. -15deg is like Korean ski mountain at night anywayyyy. *flips hair* By the way, they'll give you a pair of gloves for free.
So, after freezing in the exhibition for about an hour, we went out to a small food court-like place (had 2 food stalls, 1 drink), slacked (trying to warm up) and ate a bit before deciding to go to Ramen Kagetsu to try their new (limited run) Dry Curry Itameshi~ The nearest restaurant was at The Cathay, so there we headed~
I've been to Kagetsu 2 times already before, and their ramen is lovely. We reached there just after 6pm, and I guess it's not really popular with the crowd that frequents The Cathay, because we sat there until 7-ish, and it was still pretty empty (while maki-san and Popeyes were bustling). Initially we went with the intention to try the Itameshi, but I remembered they had the new-launch Ginjiro ramen which I wanted to try, so I ordered that, and Suzume ordered their Genkotsu Karabara (spicy miso) ramen! Natsumi ordered the intended itameshi while Nanami was just koping food lol.
I didn't dare try Suzume's ramen because both Suzume and Nanami said it was really spicy (Suzume was perspiring towards the end of her bowl!) but I tried abit of Natsumi's itameshi, and it was not bad! Not spicy even though it's a curry, not really much curry taste actually. The Ginjiro ramen was not bad, the chashu was really nice too! As usual, they provide a variety of condiments and seasoned veges (something like leek kimchi) and a jug of iced water! I love places that serve water for free.
Kagetsu is actually pretty affordable for such a good ramen place, and they have a weekday lunch (11:30-2:30pm) set which makes it even better! Actually their standard ramen you can also choose the soup base, shio and miso (just fyi)
Our total was $49.10 for 3 people, with itameshi being $12.90, Ginjiro $13.90 and Genkotsu Karabara $14.90 (I think).
So that's it for my Wednesday~ for those wanting to experience some chill, go ahead and splurge; for anyone looking for nice ramen, Kagetsu has 3 outlets at The Star Vista (btw, Menya Musashi is there too, their tsukemen is damn nice), The Cathay, and Tampines 1!
Kon'nyanssu~
So I've been thinking of cutting my hair short so that it'll be less of a hassle when wearing wigs. So I actually went to google "popular 2014 hair styles" on Google and got one that I really! really! like! BUT! my hair is too thick to have that style ;u; ah well. I can try to style it/curl/anything hopefully can get something like that. I wanted a style that can look kinda boyish at the same time but this is!! Just plain feminine LOL. I went to my stylist with the photo but she said my hair can't have it _(:3
But anyway, after that I went to dye my hair because I wanted to dye my hair brown but because I still have green hair from the faded Manic Panic last December I thought I should go to a salon to get the green off properly (it didn't, but that's for later).
I went to groupon to get a deal for a hair dye because those things are expensive yo, and got one at Hair Eclipse, including treatment which was $48.
So I went there, and the stylist totally didn't do anything to remove my green hair colour. Yea, she told me that she'll just layer colour over it but the green might still be there and I acknowledged that but um, hello, shouldn't you do something to get rid of the colour? If a legit customer went to you and asked for the same thing would you just layer colour over it? And actually tbh the colour I chose was ash brown and it didn't come out ashy at all orz
It felt like I went to WATSON'S and bought the liese or palty hair dye and did it on my own hair please. Colour payoff not there and green colour still stuck there even though I made the effort and forked out money to go to a salon. ==" Did they do this just because I used a groupon? Srsly leh, the reason for a groupon is to promote yourself right? Then if you treat groupon customers like that you ain't gonna get new regulars you know?!
Honestly man, I think I'll just stick to Essensuals for all my hair stuff in future.
Btw, at Essensuals, while washing your hair they include a scalp massage and omg that is the best thing ever. I love their hair massage and I think they are very professional. The water doesn't get in your face at all. Like when I went to dye my hair blue&green, the washing was... just nope. Didn't like it at all. And also at Hair Eclipse, didn't like the wash either. Meh.
Well anyway, my current hair style is a slightly below chin length bob with a slight undercut and concave cutting yeaaa. I wanted a less even edge but ah well. My back is really short to do anything now www.
I can just wear wigs for boys' style la. LOL.
Alrights~ going Hong Kong, Shenzhen and Macau for a holiday (2 days each) and flying off tomorrow! Goodbye~
I'm so lazy to blog that I have such a long backlog I just forget about it already. /hit
SO! Pika Pika Meido Cafe was invited to appear on Hello Japan's anniversary programme, Hello Tokyo's 1st episode on 09 Feb 2014. We were all very excited about it as we didn't expect such an invitation!! Usually we get invites for events.
The show was to be broadcasted live, and there was a meet-up discussion with the client(?), the director of a talents management company Future Stage.
But if you caught the show last week, you would have noticed that the only Pika meido who was on the whole show was Terumi. And she actually wasn't invited as Pika Meido, but more of cosplayer/writer for Cute~POP~ orz
Yeaaaa. There was a few other discussions and change of plans and stuff, and so it ended up being the host (Ms Benedict), Vincent from Cute~POP~ and Terumi for the most part of the show.
Somehow after some more discussion, the show decided to let 2 meidos from Pika appear and talk briefly. Yes, it ended up being very very brief until I couldn't understand the point of having us on the show orz If I were watching as a normal audience, honestly, I won't understand why there was 2 last minute guests who were just. like. No intro whatsoever and then appear, then show the Idol Cafe performance, then after that back to the guests, but it wasn't focusing on the guests.
And also, were Vincent and Terumi also guests, or considered hosts as well??
Yes, very confused.
But anyway, it was a good experience, although the waiting hours were kind of boring because there wasn't anything to do but hey we weren't the only ones and also there was a TV in the reception/lounge but we didn't know if we could turn that on or what (or else I would have watched the show while it was broadcasting!)
The staff were all very nice people. Very lovely people and the guys were really good-looking yes. (oi)
After the filming wrapped up and we changed and all, Ringo and I headed to Bugis Street to have ramen at Ramen Keisuke Tonkotsu King Four Seasons! I went there once previously with Natsumi, and had their winter special, miso and oyster ramen. It was delish and it was really good so I wanted to go there again and try the other seasons.
So this time I had the autumn bowl, which was miso pork! It was also very delish~
Well, so concludes my Sunday. It's Valentine's Day today, but I shan't acknowledge that! It's Tatara's birthday, okay! lol
I recently bought fabric for my upcoming coses, and I need to buy new needles and thread orz heading to Spotlight tomorrow as I have a $10 voucher to use!

Honestly man, I think I'll just stick to Essensuals for all my hair stuff in future.
Btw, at Essensuals, while washing your hair they include a scalp massage and omg that is the best thing ever. I love their hair massage and I think they are very professional. The water doesn't get in your face at all. Like when I went to dye my hair blue&green, the washing was... just nope. Didn't like it at all. And also at Hair Eclipse, didn't like the wash either. Meh.
Well anyway, my current hair style is a slightly below chin length bob with a slight undercut and concave cutting yeaaa. I wanted a less even edge but ah well. My back is really short to do anything now www.
I can just wear wigs for boys' style la. LOL.
Alrights~ going Hong Kong, Shenzhen and Macau for a holiday (2 days each) and flying off tomorrow! Goodbye~
I'm so lazy to blog that I have such a long backlog I just forget about it already. /hit
SO! Pika Pika Meido Cafe was invited to appear on Hello Japan's anniversary programme, Hello Tokyo's 1st episode on 09 Feb 2014. We were all very excited about it as we didn't expect such an invitation!! Usually we get invites for events.
The show was to be broadcasted live, and there was a meet-up discussion with the client(?), the director of a talents management company Future Stage.
But if you caught the show last week, you would have noticed that the only Pika meido who was on the whole show was Terumi. And she actually wasn't invited as Pika Meido, but more of cosplayer/writer for Cute~POP~ orz
Yeaaaa. There was a few other discussions and change of plans and stuff, and so it ended up being the host (Ms Benedict), Vincent from Cute~POP~ and Terumi for the most part of the show.
Somehow after some more discussion, the show decided to let 2 meidos from Pika appear and talk briefly. Yes, it ended up being very very brief until I couldn't understand the point of having us on the show orz If I were watching as a normal audience, honestly, I won't understand why there was 2 last minute guests who were just. like. No intro whatsoever and then appear, then show the Idol Cafe performance, then after that back to the guests, but it wasn't focusing on the guests.
And also, were Vincent and Terumi also guests, or considered hosts as well??
Yes, very confused.
But anyway, it was a good experience, although the waiting hours were kind of boring because there wasn't anything to do but hey we weren't the only ones and also there was a TV in the reception/lounge but we didn't know if we could turn that on or what (or else I would have watched the show while it was broadcasting!)
The staff were all very nice people. Very lovely people and the guys were really good-looking yes. (oi)
After the filming wrapped up and we changed and all, Ringo and I headed to Bugis Street to have ramen at Ramen Keisuke Tonkotsu King Four Seasons! I went there once previously with Natsumi, and had their winter special, miso and oyster ramen. It was delish and it was really good so I wanted to go there again and try the other seasons.
So this time I had the autumn bowl, which was miso pork! It was also very delish~
Well, so concludes my Sunday. It's Valentine's Day today, but I shan't acknowledge that! It's Tatara's birthday, okay! lol
I recently bought fabric for my upcoming coses, and I need to buy new needles and thread orz heading to Spotlight tomorrow as I have a $10 voucher to use!
