Phew~

WARNING: This is gonna be a looooong entry ! ^^ so i divided it to 2 parts for my shopping and lunch~

Haha ..i was all gloomy and down yesterday since my outing is kinda "short" like i explained ~

But there was just enough time for me to get most of the things i want ^^

The bus ride was FOREVER!!! since there were soooo many people and so many pick up points!

Usually it takes about 20 minutes or so to reach the city~ but today was a 1 hour waittt!!! *dies*

Lunch____________________

Anywayz ~ we got there eventually ~ and my frend suggested we go to this Korean restaurant ~

She mentioned that it was kinda expensive ~ more expensive than KR and Newyork newyork (which is already pretty pricy ne~)

But i figured that i need some kinda reward for myself just for one day ^^

it's a long story how we manage to find the place ~

We were walikng around in circles looking for the place ~

i walked past the escalator and we were about to exit the building when i noticed some LED lighting...you know, like the ones in airports (only more colourful and eyecatching)

I was wondering " wow ...nice sign " some unfamiliar words appear and i'm thingking.."eh!!"

might be korean written in romaji !

Then the word "KOREAN " appered ...followd by "restaurant"

i went "gyaaa" ..there it is ~ on the second floor !!

lol~

If it wasn't for the LED lights we would have ended up eating at Kyoyama ( or something~ can'r remember ! a japanese restaurant)

lol~

when we entered the restaurant ====> they were ALL koreans ...customers too!!

The owner and cook is Korean too~ both husband and wife seemed so happy that locals entered the restaurant!!

There were so kind and nice !!!

I mean if you enter a pricy restaurant people just : take order -smile- serve - bill- TQ (sometimes)

But this couple are so warm and welcoming ~

AND Ahhhhh

the viewww!

SOUGOII!

TwT i only coud take a 4 or 5 pics since...

GYAAAA; i left the memory card connected in my lappy!

luckily there is a tiny amount of memory in the cam ~

as i was taking the photo : the owner himself served the menu ~ and

said "really nice view ya ?..i really like this too..really beautiful " *thumbes up*

The food ~

then Surprisinglyy! the price is resonable...even cheaper than KR!!!

I ordered the mix rice thingy where you have to mix it yourself ! and the wife came . Obviously she can't really speak english ~ just a few words ..no sentences!!

But then she tries her best using hand gestures to tell me what is what and helped me to mix the korean mixed rice!!!....

YASASHIII~

well if i explain every detail i will never end this blog!

haha

we finish everything and they asked if the food was good !

Obviously it was super delicious!!!

cos we finished everything~!! down to the last grain of rice!!

and the tea~ =_+ i'll just stop here ~ lol

Shopping!

There were many shops but the either the service was bad or i didn't like the design ~ plus we were kinda in a time limit~

One of the stores had a few i liked but then the workers were rude in a way ~

plus ~ it didn't suit me~ XD

So~ finally i went to the place where i used to buy my clothes ( been ages since i stopped by there)

I found a few i liked but then was frustrated when they kept asking me to browse more befor trying coz the changing rooms were limited !! only 2 changing rooms !

One is occupied by this lady ~ she was trying LOADS of clothing ! around 10 pcs at a time( seriouslyy!!) and workers are still passing her diffferent patterns colours !!

Dang !

i was about to leave and go to my regular store D&M ~ but then the worker convinced me to wait~ i did

Ended up buying some 3 tops + one singlet (cheap and nice) to go with the white shirt i almost didn't buy!!

oh and my first leggings too!!!

then bought a pair of shoes ( fits nicely )

my friend was looking at scarves when an IDEA hit me~

Mao gave me some pointers!! haha

And this outfit ( that i almost didn't get) becomes my fav!! can't wear it during CNY ( white is taboo in some chinese minorities ..so blah)

BUT I LOVE ITTT!!

Mao gave me lot's of pointers ~

So all 3 outfits turns out to be a little over-sized~ and i'm not planning to wear skirts for nwe year!! since it's not my style ~

haha~

Check out SID's Uso PV ~ you'll know why i'm thanking Mao for being my fashion instructor!!

haha ~ at the end i didn't even stop by D&M !!

(D&M is a franchise store in KK ...selling most of the style i like XD )

_____________

Tomorrow i might go for a haircut~

I don't like having long hair ~

it's nice at times but then it's hard to maintain ...

btw ~ my hair grows super -fast!!! haha

____________

i'm also uploading YUI's Golria cover... so check it out ne ~ ^^

love you all

p/s: sorry for the long entry!

wanna get things done super fast!!! but then haiz ~

Seriously!

People have been going in and out to town and every now and then~

can you believe ! it's been 3 weeks and i've only been to the mall for lunch then back for tutorial class !

I'll be going out tomorrow but only for 3 hours or so!

i need to get tonnes of supplies for my APK project !

I enjoy these kind of stuff but not in a rushy kind of way !

i like to take my time looking and browsing !

So i'm planning to maybe go again on saturday??

Who wants to tag along ~

Well if i want to go again on saturday , i have to get some of my assignments done!

XD

___________________________

Well let's hope i enjoy myself tomorrow !

^^ even though it's a rush of some sort ~

It is nice for her to even accompany me out ^^

___________________________

Today is my coursemate's tanjyobi desu!

i'm so happy ~ because we managed to surprise her with a huge cake ~

^^

Fresh cream cake is the best!

Cheaper than em chocolate/mocca / ect ect cheese cakes

but still nice ~

________________________________

Ah ~

what i want to get tomorrow...

MOST IMPORTANT: APK beads and strings supply ~

Clothes for CNY

maybe a pair of boots that goes with anything i wear ~

a t-shirt scarf ~ (kinda trendy these days)

(if i could) a guitar pick necklace ...which is quite impossible though~

i'm assuming that i will be spending quite a lot tomorrow ~

haha ~

_________

oh when we got back form the restaurant in the afternoon we headed to the library ...

it just shows how multicultural this country is !!

On one side of the foyer , people are selling tickets for the "red packet's festival"

A tradition in my university ~

performance and everything ~

went last year ~

really nice performance ~

AMAZING actually...but i went too late and had to sit at the 2nd floor which just cuts back the fun !

I want to go this year too...but then i have no transport to get back and i don't want to trouble anyone ~

so ...i'm not going...

wait... i was talking about multicultural thingy

so on one side is the Chinese New year stuff

then on the other side were Indian decorations

for the light festival

AND THIS TOO~

They have it done last year too ! but this is much nicer and ...I HAVE A CAMERA!!

There wasn't a good angel so this was the best i could do >_<

I mean look at the details!! even the logo is clear !!

oh well i better start making some prototypes for my selling project ^^

Wish me luck!!

Love you all ...

p/s: seriously ....less than 4 hours of outing is =(

Felling better ...or maybe not~

Assignments are kicking in and digging into my flesh !!!

I bet everyone wants to run away ~

me too~

"where do you want to run to?"

someone asked ~

Seriously ....i don't know ~

If i could i'd run to heaven ~

haha~

But that's impossible (at the moment)

No point complaining right??

coz i'm not the only one facing these problems ~

_____________________

Nice right ~

It feels as warm as it looks ^^

I woke up monday morning to this ~

There is no direct sunlight for a week or so ~ monday was the only day i felt warmth on my skin !

But it rained later in the afternoon all throughout the night ~

I bet you YUI fans are thinking ahhh!! Taiyo no Uta !!!

Me too ! that's why i was looking like an idiot in the middle of the road taking a pic at 6.30 am!!! haha~

but it was worth it deshyooo!!!

______

back to assignments!

We have to sell stuff this semester ...and to make it worse : the selling of food is not encouraged so no gas or electricity will be provided

So much for my ice-cream idea~

So my alternative is !!

ta da ~

finally my skills could come in handy

the details are top secret!

nah ~

just don't want to reveal too much coz there are like 200 groups competing for business !

so i don't want to have too may people stealing my ideas ~

Since not many people have the skills and resources to do this i suggested it~

which landed me with a HUGE responsibility of being the leader ~

This position sucks !

since you have to do basically everything!

But then i'll try my best ~

Can someone give me an engraved customized pick as a reward??!!

i guess not =3=

_____________________

Oh btw ~ i'm starting to like some of SID's songs

Namida no ondo is a really nice song~

Uso too ~

Nice to listen to when one is doing assignment and stressing out ~

WELL.!! Enough with the dilly dally !!!

i need to finish my shukudai and off to bed~

Maybe i'll stop by the music shop in the city to see if they have guitar pick necklace ne~ if not i'll have to ask someone to help me get one ~

till the next post ne ~

Ja matta ~

Love you all ^^

Monochrome~

Well "Monochrome"

What is the first thing that comes across your mind when you read this word?

I first heard this word in a Japanese songs. In fact, when you listen to a lot of Japanese songs ( especially J-rock) you can find that its quite common.

^^ its an explanation for a colour ~

when i first heard it from a song ~ i was thinking oh ~ must be coloourful.

I had no idea !

"MONO" single right??? lets just assume the "chrome " means colour ~...

Turns out ~ it means a different shade of the same colour ~ basically, black and white ~

Remember the days where there were black and white TVs??? there ~ that's monochrome ~ the different shades of black and white all accumulated together to form a real life picture ~

Come to think of it, my favorite colour is black and white ...how vapid ~ right??

__________________________

Life is VAPID !

frustration~ not an easy word or feeling to deal with ~

I wish i could just leave everything behind and run away ~

Or maybe just sink into a deep sleep , and wake up in a fairy tale world ~

Those that you know " there are hard times but the endings are always happy"

where you know that despite how harsh life is , there will be some sort of salvation...

The bad guys just die out , or turn good in the end ~ the main character , after suffering torment and hard life, gains friendship and also love ~

The reality is ...fairy tales doesn't exist ~

haha~

Here's is what i would like to wake up to ~ after that "sleep "

__________________________________

I was getting ready for a busy morning ~ took a look at the mirror and even smirked at myself.

Just as i stopped (smirking), someone calls me for breakfast ~

I let out a sigh of relieve as i wasn't caught acting silly ~ then smiled to myself as i walked down the hall way to the dining room ~

Breakfast was neatly laid on a turquoise coloured tablecloth

Someone served me my favorite drink ~ Fresh fruit juice

then asks "how's the song coming?"

i answer " um~i need more inspiration"

I take a sip of a perfectly brewed tea ~

then a bite of a chocolate muffin ~

We exchanged a few laughs ~

after breakfast, i flip through the book i had for ages ~

the book where i kept my thoughts, some odd doodles too ~

and of course ~ the songs that portrays my life ~

a serene feeling comes ~ and as i read through my thoughts , i remember what made me who i am today ~

all that pain, blood sweat and tears ...paid off ~

i run my fingers down the pages ~

letting out a silent almost unnoticeable giggle as i red my so-called "letters to Maya"

Somehow i could see some wrinkled spots , what was left of the tears that fell on these pages , preserved by the very surface that absorbed them ~

Life was tough ~

I felt a hand on my shoulder , i turned around and a cute smile enters the picture,

My band's vocalist told me that it was time to meet our mentors for a run through ~

She tossed me the keys to our van . I then gave her an unnatural grin as i won the "janken" the previous night on deciding who was gonna drive ~

Upon arriving at our studio , we were greeted by bows and "ohayo"s ... we did the same in return .

We met up with our drummer , the serious one , and then our bassist the funny one ~ we manage our own band ~ We get our clothing line from our established mentors and their brand "Gurucho"

Today was studio work !

I was working with my senpai...Aiji-san on the guitar sound ~

I was sitting on an armless office chair with one of my many electric guitars ~

My mentor sits behind with the paper i handed to him last week ~ which he approved of after i spruced it up ~

I then strum a few chords to give him an idea of what the tune and tempo would turn out to be ~

he gave me a few pointers~

" ja jugujugu jang jugujugu jang~ ....the ending would sound better like that" doing an air guitar ,while mimicking the sound of the guitar ...

i nodded and strummed the pattern out....

i hit rewind on the tape recorder i had in front of me and listened to myself strum ~

"it could be better " i thought to myself...

Sure enough my mentor was on the same page ~ " just let the last part sound instead of stopping it..jang jugujugu jang jugujugu janggggg~" he brush his right arm across his lap as if he had a guitar .

i payed the final chorus and did what he said ~ yes. it sounded perfect ~

It only felt like an hour or so but a whole days work has passed ~

we were to work the next day with the bass and drum sounds then recording starts after that~

"Life is busy but fun in a way ~"

I finished my blog and clicked "publish post"

As i did , i heard some sort of commotion going on outside

the others already made plans for dinner ~

I, of course, was dragged along too...

we enjoyed talking about work

we discussed the clothing line and our costumes . it was our vocalist favorite part in releasing a new single ~

Oh..and of course ~ the annual tour ~

As i finish the last sip of my "sake "( the only alcohol drink i can handle ) i recalled the first time we did and opening for a concert ~ it was a life changing one ~

I was in full costume ~ the make up the hair ~ and the custom made ESP guitar given to me ~

________________________

pathetic right?? yea...i think so too ~

_________________________

Ah but life is here ~ in front of my laptop ~

worrying about home and some dallied assignments ~

the future is set~

I will one day be bound to society ~

A government's property ~

being groomed to be what i was meant to be all along...

Being groomed to be what flows in this blood of mine ~

fairy tales never existed and never will exist ~

this is life and also the reality that we have to face everyday ~

For a girl that wants to run away from reality , it really sucks~

I will hence sink into this shell of mine and work my way around this cruel and painful world ~

Hopefully when i am groomed and made into a person i was destined to be , i will come back to life ~ and find some happiness ~

as for now~ happiness seems so far away ~

I'll try my best ...even if i feel like running ~

So you guys should to

-Miyuki-
