Sakura

This afternoon I dreamt I went to this themepark called KittyLand wtf.

It was like a giant Hello Kitty park (I’m aware that a real one called Sanrioland does exist in Tokyo but I’ve never had the urge to visit it)

Anyway it was a damn nice dream!

I don’t know if in the dream I was a child or something because I remember an adult bringing me to KittyLand.

And along the way there were rows and rows of helium balloons at the side of the road. None of them the same! I couldn’t decide which to pick.

Then we got into KittyLand and every guest got to borrow a free costume to wear in the park.

And somehow I decided I wanted to be a waitress. =.=

An old man opened up this huge room shaped and colored like a giant cupcake and rummaged through it for costumes but they were out of waitresses:(

So I became a Playboy Bunny instead. wtf

And then all the guests had to be announced and go up on stage one by one to greet and play with the crowd wtf.

I sat backstage and my heart became very doki doki suru (beating fast) while waiting for the emcee to call my name and then I heard it.

“Odori! Ban gohan!” (Audrey! Dinner!)

My host brother’s voice wtf.

I woke up still with my heart beating fast I also dunno why! Then I wanted my 5 seconds of fame so I tried to go back to sleep but he “Odori! Ban gohan!”-ed me again so I had to wake up and go down for my dinner. wtf.

Maybe I was thinking about themeparks because we are going to Universal Studios on Saturday! :D:D

Yesterday, we went to the Kyoto Old Palace to look at early sakura that have bloomed.


Flower idiots. wtf.


Dammit. My eyes are closed.

I’ve decided. If I get a tattoo, it will either be a cherry blossom, or Hello Kitty’s face. wtf.

Back from Taiwan

Actually we got back on Thursday but I was too lazy to blog.

Now I shall because I was planning to watch soccer between Japan and Peru on tv with Akihiro and Otousan but Okaasan’s parents (Ojichan and Obaachan) came over and Obaachan sat down next to me and kept patting my leg and muttering things I didn’t understand so Okaasan kicked me out of the room and made me go watch old people music in the next room. But I didn’t and read Doraemon no. 43 instead. wtf.

*claps hands. Chup chup wtf.


We touched down in Taipei at about 10pm and rushed to our hotel to change and go clubbing because everyone was damn semangat to go. Yea, even me, the person who dances like she has no bendable limbs wtf.


Shot of our sink before it got really gross with Angela’s extensions falling out, brown water from the tap, wet pieces of toilet paper and Q-tips dyed with eyeliner. Yuck.


We went to Luxy to meet up with Angela’s friend Sean who helped us book our hotel. That’s him on the left, followed by Angie’s host sisters Yukiko and Ayumi. The fatty on the right is some idiot who jumped in on our photo. Celaka.


Do I look radiant in this picture or do I look radiant! I think it was my blusher. Me, Angie and Ayumi-chan.


A shot of all of us captured in perfectly. With Sean’s friend, Tristan.


I took this pic for them while resting in the toilet wtf. By the side was this girl with her face in a barf bag who hadn’t moved for 10 minutes. I think she fell asleep.


The guys wtf. Ei Taiwanese guys are really good-looking! I swear by my mother’s name wtf. Don’t look at these 3 la. I think more than half the guys I saw were cute. Beat Japan & Malaysia flat.


Again, glowing skin.


Next day, we went to this like shopping central place must ask Angela what it’s called. I have a knack of taking photos of strangers passing by when I’m trying to take scenery shots.


Waiting for Ayumi to finish her shopping.


Taiwanese dogs are as cute as the guys wtf. Damn cute right! He’s wearing a hoodie T____________T *melts*


Shoe store. I swear we went to around 50 shoe stores in Taipei. Very cheap!


See another cute dog. We saw this St. Bernard in a nail art shop and he licked my face and hands until they were all sticky and I didn’t know what to do so I just shook it and let it air-dry wtf.


Then at night we went to the night market at Shi Lin. At least I know the name! We went there every night we were there cos it was 5 minutes away from where we stayed.

Oh got this cibai incident happened. At the night market, I stopped at a shop to buy water. There was a tshirt stall and a sock stall outside the shop with 2 guys and a girl manning them respectively.

The good thing about everyone thinking we don’t understand Chinese is that they talk about us in it damn loudly when we’re there and we get to listen to everything *snicker. Okay, maybe just Angela *grudgingly

Anyway while we were there buying water, Guy 1 says Angela is cute and asks the Girl if she can get Angie’s number for him.

She says rudely no they’re not cute okay only and don’t want. wtf.

Then Guy 2 says: eh the one behind too. I wonder why she’s so short. wtf.

And then the stupid girl said yalah so short so weird.

Jahanam!!!

Short cannot ar! At least I’m not the one standing behind rows and rows of fake brand tshirts getting jealous cos the 2 guys opposite of you think other people are cute and not you! *burning anger wtf.


We got stopped by 3 guys who asked if we could take photos with them as memories of their Taiwan holiday and found out they’re also Japanese. =.=


The next day we went to the National Palace Musuem. I love musuems!


The sign said this was a face cover (??!?) It was under the jewelry section too. I wonder did ancient people cover their facial features with it and think it was pretty? wtf.


A picnic hamper made of ivory!


This was the next day. Here I am curling Yukiko’s hair. God I’m so good at this I should turn professional.


See *shows off wtf


That day damn suay we woke up at 1 and there was no water supply! Ciplak hotel! I guess they didn’t think there were people in the world who wake up at 1. We had to troop down to the bathroom downstairs and wash up there like homeless people. I even washed my bangs in the sink wtf.


Pig’s intestine soup! Oh how I miss it *salivates


I miss hawker stalls too.


At Starbucks. Coincidentally we were both looking at mirrors and Angela took a pic. Do you like it when you take out your mirror to look at your hair or something and all your friends automatically take theirs out too! Feels so bonding *fists at mouth*


Dinner with Sean.


Still dinner.


Prancing outside Skin Food waiting for Ayumi & Yukiko. Me and Angela had standing-on-one-leg contests too and I won! But dunno why cannot transfer the video from camera to laptop. :((


Angela brought us to this row of all pet shops! Look at the one behind isn’t he precious T_________________T


And this one reminds me of our old dog Binkie (named after Binkie the clown in Garfield) who ran away and never came back. :(((((((


Dwarf pigs. I thought they would be cuter than this.


The next day was good weather! (it had been raining the past few days)


A rainbow appeared!


It was Ayumi’s dream to go for a Taiwanese massage so she and Angie went.


While me and Yukiko went for a foot spa and massage.


My feet in hot water. If you look properly you will see that the last 2-3 toes on both my feet aren’t painted. Cos one day I wanted to wear peeptoed shoes and I was too lazy to paint all so I painted the ones that could be seen. wtf.


The woman who massaged me. She had to put up with my wincing, twitching and giggling into my jacket because it tickled.


While waiting for Ayumi yet again wtf. Back at the night market.


Delicious food. wtf wtf.


Looks like Malaysia, doesn’t it?


Yukiko and Angie with their candy covered strawberries.


Us with my chicken feet! Damn nice okay! I ate 1 box a night and everytime got a stomach ache that made me want to go into a dressing room and take a dump wtf. But it was worth it.


Shop selling kinky costumes.


And some kind of penis cover with plastic eyes. -______-


Does this guy look like Rob Schneider! He was offended that I said he looked like Deuce Bigalow Male Gigolo so he said I looked like a Japanese actress too and then started naming all kinds of porn actresses. =.=


I was hungry so I dragged everyone to eat supper.


We had to leave for the airport the next morning at 4am so we decided not to sleep and go clubbing again cos it was Ladies Night. Here we are with who I think are the only people in Plush that could speak English. Does the girl in white look like Wong Wee Li! (my friend la wtf)


Taken by some friendly girl in the bathroom. Taiwanese people are damn friendly too! I dunno if they’re only friendly to Japanese tho since they so menyanjungi them.


Oh and when we went to check in at the airport they offered us a transfer to Business Class if we took another plane 20 minutes later! Cos they were overbooked.

I was so excited! They even gave us breakfast coupons. Here’s me with my porridge. I don’t even like porridge. But I ordered it cos I felt nostalgic.


I planned to take pictures every step of the way! Me and Ayumi with my Business Class ticket yo.

Just look at that beautiful sign.

And our proud faces wtf.

Then we got onto the plane and the stewardess forbade me to use my camera:((

After I tried out all the fun functions in the chair, I fell asleep even before the plane took off. wtf.

And I missed breakfast la dammit!!!

Oh why didn’t they wake me up! Ayumi and Yukiko told us later that they served it on real plates with real silverware and there was steak! And sushi!

I missed the meal of my first Business Class flight ever!

I’ll probably have to wait until I’m 40 to eat it again. T_________T

I should have known. When waiting for the immigration officer at the counter to check my passport and (Business class!) boarding pass, I actually fell asleep there. The man had to wake me up. wtf.

Hello Roxy! (among others)

I FOUND MY WALLET!

SOME KIND SOUL FOUND IT AND GAVE IT TO DOSHISHA’S LOST AND FOUND AND I GOT IT BACK!

WITH ALL THE MONEY AND ID INTACT AND EVERYTHING! WHEEEEEEEEE

GOD BLESS JAPAN AND THE MAN WHO FOUND IT

Okay down to business.

You know how I offered to buy people who wanted, stuff from Japan or Taiwan?

I was serious!

I’m not think of this as business or whatever. Just as a favor to people as obsessed with fashion as I am:)

Of course I would have to charge a small fee for dragging heavy clothes back from Japan and if you wanted me to mail them to you, extra fee for postage.

Money isn’t that important to me as of now, because clothes > money to me wtf. It’s just a minor detail that you need money to get clothes wtf.

Plus money in my hand now > more money in my hand later because with money in my hand now, I can buy clothes here that i can’t buy back in Malaysia.

That’s why I need to know how many of you are actually serious about getting me to buy stuff home for you.

And that you won’t book something then cheat me and disappear later wtf. Then what am I going to do with your clothes! If not my taste/size I cannot wear. If my taste/size, Mummy Ooi will slay me alive for buying so much shit. (not that it’s not worth it wtf)

Yea so help me out here a bit okay. Warning first, it’s probably not going to be cheap (by cheap I mean RM50 and under cos I’m a Sungei Wang type of woman wtf) Probably RM100-200 per top? If from Taiwan probably about RM40-50? I THINK.

I researched fashion magazines and analyzed trends wtf.

I think it’s interesting to see how fashion floods all over the globe and how each country puts its own unique twist on trends.

Okay la, just Japan, Australia and USA. Or maybe just Japan & Aust, since the US seems more to follow a beat of its own wtf.

I’m probably breaking all sorts of copyright laws and shit but oh well here goes.


No idea what any of these are called, but this puffy, pregnant-type tunic is still very in fashion.


Don’t look at my ugly nails, where all fell off save one. This is my favorite of all the new trends! Damn cute right! High-waisted skirts with suspenders/pinafores, whatever you wanna call them.


Geometric patterns are damn in too


As well as suspenders. And 70s style pants. Actually I won’t be buying any bottomw for anyone, because pants sizes are dangerous.


I think fashion this year seems to be leaning towards retro 60s Twiggy. See the huge glasses, geometric patters and tunics.

See? Tunics. Because it’s still cold here, most people wear them with tights, stockings, and/or turtleneck long sleeved tees


Dunno how to describe this. But yea, a lot of this around too.


A lot of small floral prints too

And lots of pumps. Never let go of your pumps! wtf. And throw away your strappy sandals only la, they’re not going to be cool for a long time wtf. In fact, throw away all your flats too, the higher the heel, the better. (so speaks the fourfeetniner)

.
And tights are still around. All kinds: sheer pantihose with designs on em, ankle-length tights, calf-length tights, knee-high socks, thigh-high socks, fishnets, you name it. But stop wearing em with sneakers because (1) they’re counted as flats and (2) they make you look like you’re in middle school.


Bubble hems are still in as well. And Japanese people don’t seem to want to show off their chest and shoulders much, even in the summer they pair tubes and strappy tops with tshirts or something. But they pull their skirts all the way up to their asses. Go figure.


And big baggy tops with leggings/tights/skinny jeans. And heels! Always heels!


And tailored shirts. Pair with formal shorts and heels and maybe some stockings.

For accessories and makeup, I dunno how to analyze/put them together for you. Let me think wtf. Or for those people who already read Japanese magazines like Vivi, Pinky, CanCam, JJ etc, let me know if you want a particular product or brand.

Leave your email address if you’re interested and we’ll negotiate wtf.

And how do people conduct online transactions? Through paypal ar? Tell me la all you online auctioneers!

Er good luck to all of us in this. Just thought it would be fun to do this. Pretty fashion should never be kept to yourself:))

p/s: Tell your friends about this wtf. And if you want something from Taiwan, let me know asap because I leave on Saturday evening.

Goodbye Roxy

Dammit!

Got a lot of work lately, have a presentation on the world’s worst, most vague, abstract and all-round senseless book (The Temple of the Golden Pavilion) and wtf omfg I realised like last night that I don’t have Microsoft PowerPoint how to make presentation!

So I had to use Microsoft Word to make my presentation wtfwtfwtf.

Therefore, I officially have the ugliest presentation in the world. Some more I was hoping to distract my teacher with lots of pictures because I have no idea what I’m saying at all but when I try to put pictures into Word, it just messes with my words. :(((

And then! On Friday I lost my wallet.

Why, god, why! The last time I saw it was in the shokudo (cafeteria) when I paid for my lunch.

And then after that we went to Kinkakuji (Temple of the Golden Pavilion again) on a class field trip and I kindheartedly wanted to buy Angela & Christine some lucky charms and that’s when I discovered the disappearance of my wallet. :(((

Went back to Doshisha and searched, but couldn’t find it anymore. T_T

I hope the scumbag who stole it/found it but decided to keep it gets cancer (colon for a guy, breast for a girl).

i had to go to the police station to make a report. Hisashiburi wtf. (long time no see)

This is my 2nd visit there wtf. The first time was when I lost my subway pass.

Who the hell goes to the police station twice in 6 months to report lost things? Maybe if I go another time they’ll deport me for being too mafan. wtf.


Suet says this is back to my zaman kegelapan/Dark Ages of ugliness. I reckon she’s right wtf. Harry Potter/Sung Sai Kit wtf. The paper is the price tag.


So we had the world’s most senseless book earlier, these are the world’s most cruel shoes. Mine is the black one and Angie’s is the pink. I swear when I wear these and leave the house, by the time I reach the front of my next door neighbor’s I’m in agony. But they’re just so pretty <3 (and cheap)!! Since we have just two months left here in Japan, we decided to make the best of it and make one day in every week coordinated dressing day. This week was Soccer/Football/Whatever Jersey Day.


They’re all David’s jerseys/jersies? Which one?


Er Japan, Arsenal (isit?), AC Milan. All fake.

I’m going to Taiwan on Saturday!

Oh yea, I feel like buying a whole bunch of clothes and accessories from say, Japan and Taiwan back to Malaysia and selling them off. Would anyone buy if I did that?

Kanazawa spring field trip

*cracks fingers

Just because I feel like it, this is going to be a long photo post on AKP’s spring field trip which we took to what looked like pretty rural places in Japan – Fukui and Kanazawa.


We went by bus.


Thanks to people like David who got the flu but still die die wanna come for the trip because it’s paid for…


…Prindle made us all wear masks to avoid contamination.


Invisible Woman wtf.

Our first stop was in Fukui prefecture, at a paper-making factory!


There, we got to each make a piece of handmade paper, press dried flowers and other stuff into it, and personalise everything.


The dried stuff you decorate with.


Me making the paper. You fill the tray with the pulpy paper, and shake evenly to drain the water out. Then you lay flowers or whatever on the surface and pour more pulp on top. (god my mouth is big)


I think Angie looks damn cute here 😀


This is Angela’s halfway. Her end product is even prettier because she put pink spots behind the flowers and a little glitter and the result is fantastic.


This is mine. I have no decorating talent at all. I tried to make a sun with some yellow dye but it just looks like I spilled orange juice on it. The three blue spots were supposed to be clouds. The red feathery things are still a mystery to me.


I’m not sure what this is, but I think it was a model of what a traditional paper factory looked like.


My hand got itchy and i touched one of these papier mache statues. This know-it-all saw and she scolded me, “Don’t touch! Haven’t you ever been to a museum before? Hohoho.” wtf. Well, we weren’t in one!


In the “musuem” wtf.


Then we went to a famous Buddhist temple. I don’t know what it was called either, because when they told us on the bus, I was asleep. After that it was too cold for me to really care and all i wanted to do was get back on the bus.


It was really pretty though.


The whole ceiling was made up of painted panels of birds and flowers. Only 5 were not – 2 lions, 2 koi and 1 squirrel.


Christine, me and Andrea.



To my relief, we finally got to the hotel and had another banquet dinner:D But the food this time so-so only la.


Here’s a video of Danny doing the gayest rendition ever of Livin’ La Vida Loca. I love it! wtf. But then he jumps off the stage and tries to seduce me wtf.


Me and Christine in yukata.

Shit I had the worst experience with the yukata ever! I was wearing it and er shitting wtf. Everyone tied their sashes in front but i refused and tied mine at the back because I remember reading in Memoirs of a Geisha that only prostitutes tied theirs at the front for easy removal wtf.

So when i was in the toilet, my sash fucking sank into the toilet bowl without me knowing and I sat there happily shitting wtf. Then when I got up, water sprayed everywhere on my ankles and the floor and even on the wall and door wtf.

I was wondering where the hell the water came from, cause I wipe damn clean wan ok. And I thought the toilet had a leaky pipe wtf.

Only when I went to shower and took off my yukata that I saw half a foot of my sash was wet and I realised it had dipped into the toilet bowl and sprayed the water all over me. Fuck this shit.


I forgot my contact lens case. T_T So I had to put my contact lenses in the ash tray and cover it with a cup wtf.


What we had for breakfast. Tired of always either missing breakfast or having to eat it fast, we woke up damn early this time. And we were the only ones there next to the teachers wtf.


Christine didn’t have shades wtf.


Checking out of our room wtf.


We visited a samurai’s residence.


Very pretty right! I would wanna live here too, if not for how cold it would be in the winter.


The altar.


Iron stirrups. I wonder why they use iron, the horse already has to hold up the saddle and the rider some more have to be weighed down even more with iron stirrups when they could have used leather.


Then we went to a national park, supposed to be one of the top 3 most beautiful gardens in Japan. Dunno what it’s called (sleeping again).


I like this pic!


Angela, Christine, David, me, Danielle, Trey and Andrea.


More pictures of the pretty garden.


Tree-huggers wtf.


Me and Angela outside a…. castle. I know la I’m hopeless!


Little did I know that stupid Trey was posing next to me wtf.


Sorry, didn’t resize this cos I thought our poses were funny. Here’s me stabbing Trey with an invisible sword wtf. Entrance of the castle.


The moat around the castle. Angela asked if there were crocodiles in it HAHAHAHAHHA. I told her I know everything about castles cos I build them out of sand quite often. wtf.


On a bridge (over the moat I think)


Enjoying the view at some plateau inside the castle grounds. I guess Trey enjoyed Angela’s ass more wtf.


Angela looks damn proud hahahahahha.


Resting at the plateau. Some people rest more than others wtf.

And that was our trip! Okay babai.

Past lives

The other day, Yeff and I were discussing serious matters. We were talking about Japanese history because that’s one of my classes this semester and because he is a Tokugawa freak (era in Japanese history when Japan was ruled by the Shogun and samurai).

And then we got onto the topic of past lives!

I swear, something tells me I used to be a geisha. wtf. Cos when I think about how my past life could have been, the story and details come so easily to me.

It’s all coming back to me now. Celine Dion. wtf.

Tze thinks she was an emperor’s concubine (most loved of course) back in the Qing dynasty. But I say pffft to that because how scary is the Qing! Dahlah the government always seems to be on rocky ground some more they menerima ancaman from the outside world. And lost the Opium War. Plus the men had to wear hair queues which are not sexy at all. And when Qing people die, they have to turn into vampires and get yellow paper stuck on their foreheads wtf.

Angela says she dreamt she was an Egyptian princess whose father got overthrown by traitors and her brother got kidnapped and she woke up with a strong sense of responsibility to save the brother wtf.

So Angela, does that mean your mother was an Egyptian mummy? HAHAHAHAHAH GEDDIT wtf.

Back to my own past life. Geisha. Yes.

I discussed it thoroughly with Darren.

**************************

WTF! In my excitement I went and found this past life analyser site that supposedly tells you what you used to be in your past life, according to your birthdate.

And it said I used to be a shepherd in Saudi Arabia in 1250!

Your past life diagnosis:


I don’t know how you feel about it, but you were female in your last
earthly incarnation.You were born somewhere in the territory of modern
Saudi Arabia around the year 1250.
Your profession was that of a shepherd, horseman or forester.


Your brief psychological profile in your past life:
Revolutionary
type. You inspired changes in any sphere – politics, business,
religion, housekeeping. You could have been a leader.


The lesson that your last past life brought to your present incarnation:
You
are bound to solve problems of pollution of environment, recycling,
misuse of raw materials, elimination of radioactivity by all means
including psychological methods.


Do you remember now?

Hahahahahah why like this! I refuse to be a shepherd! I hate all nature! (I’m serious). I’m still a geisha ok!

Tze said I sure was a leader. Leader of sheep wtf.

*click here to see your past life*

Nah, the link.

What lies! Tze’s was actually quite true: it said she used to be a doctor or chemist in Korea and she was a materialistic person with no spiritual afinity. So true! She’s studying pharmacy now and she’s the most money-minded person I know wtf.

The grinch that stole Chinese New Year

That would be me.

While everyone else has been developing phlegm eating mandarin oranges, losing the seat of their (new) pants in blackjack and pulling out new notes from angpaus, I, Audrey Ooi spent my Chinese New Year in front of my laptop, dressed in the pink fleece pajamas that my otousan gave me for my birthday, curlers in my hair (for volume), typing out 2 papers, a poem and a Japanese article about gift exchange to analyze.

The only thing remotely Chinese New Year-ish about my day was my paper about the Satsuma samurai domain in Tokugawa Japan and satsuma is what they call mandarin oranges in the UK.

Oh oh and my okaasan obligingly doled out the Japanese instant version of American Chinese food for dinner (I don’t even know how to describe it).

I hate holidays. Especially birthdays.

Ooh maybe if I don’t celebrate CNY, that means its still the same year and I’ll be forever21 wtf.

Wanted to find a red picture but couldn’t oh well.


This was before going to a foam party. Do we have these in Malaysia (or Australia)? Where they cordon off the dance floor and fix a foam-making machine to the ceiling so the foam falls like a waterfall and you dance and play in the foam.

Angela lost one of her flipflops in the foam. I happened to be wearing an extra pair of hers and I lost one too hahaha. I was also wearing fake lashes and I picked them off my face, waved them in Angela’s, shouting “Look! Look! My lashes came off!” and tossed them into the foam wtf. Waste of money.


Errrr we’re playing invisible football/soccer wtf.

Roses are red but mine is pink wtf

Nagging suspicions (provoked by a few people calling me ‘midget’ and ‘dwarf’) have caused me to google these conditions.

And to my shock and discomfort, I found that

God I really am a dwarf.

“Dwarfism is a medical or genetic condition that usually results in an adult height of four feet ten or shorter, among both men and women, although in some cases a person with a dwarfing condition may be slightly taller than that.”

I didn’t even make it to be slightly taller than that.

“Proportionate dwarfism — that is, a short-stature condition that results in the arms, legs, trunk, and head being the same size in relation to each other as would be expected with an average-sized person — is often the result of a hormonal deficiency, and may be treated medically. This condition is commonly referred to as growth-hormone deficiency.”

At least I’m proportioned normally. (Though my boobs could use a little help.) But where did my growth hormones go? How come I didn’t get my growth spurt?:(((

I read somewhere that in practically every election since 1900, the taller candidate for the US presidency wins.

Apparently because contemporary culture venerates height.

So means I will fail in life is it?:((

Short is cute. But I don’t wanna be this cute:((


Oh happy Valentine’s. I got these from Angela and Christine. Thank you my Babies:)


I have never celebrated Valentine’s in my life!

I am thus immune to all the melancholy and gloom that surround single people on February 14.

Oh but a friend insists that we did celebrate Valentine’s together 2-3 years ago and that we went for a dinner and movie. But I have no recollection of it whatsoever so maybe he was just trying to make me feel better wtf.

Actually I haven’t really received flowers before either! This is only the 2nd bunch I’ve gotten in my whole life, first being a 21st birthday present from my real 21st birthday present from Toronto wtf. Geddit? wtf.

So I don’t really know what to do with these daisies + 1 rose. (I even asked Angela why she got me funeral flowers wtf I thought they were chrysanthemums)

Some more I’m allergic to flowers wtf.
