A series of uploads from my mobile phone:




Sweets from dinner at Hyatt, was a little too stuffed then so I went straight for desserts.:P











Stamps I bought from Popular Bookstore in Hong Kong a few years back. Cuties.:)

I am getting a PSP soon. Haha. I know it's waaay too late to get one but I'm still getting it.:P I have done some research on what little enhancements they did on newer versions. And I wonder if I could get a cheap keyboard and camera for the PSP. (So that I do not have to lug my VAIO around anymore, and so that I could blog and update wherever I might be........ I'm thinking of reviving my twitter.. but oh, it'd just add to the already long list of stuff I need to log into and update.>_< 面倒くさい。。ん＿ん”) But more importantly there are PSP games that I so want to play... :D (i.e., dissidia, k-on, bleach, and some other game sequels made for psp.)




I am not feeling the halloween mood at all this year, days are flying by so fast, people are counting down to Christmas and shopping centres have been putting up Christmas displays too.>_<




This was as close to halloween as I could get, the Jack-O'-Lantern Dilly Bar from Dairy Queen.











But halloween aside, I can't wait until the holidays, I do not have anything planned yet, but I have been asking around. 今年のチッケトはちょっと高い。T_T　But the plan is either to join a group or go off by ourselves. Hmm.

I think I saw someone earlier but I'm not sure. I pretended not to see, which was the worst thing anyone could ever do! (And no, it's not like me to ignore people.....i think) But anyway, just thought I'd mention it. I just didn't feel like greeting this person... (A person who betrayed me in the past.-_-)


....

And speaking of dreams (yes, we are now), I had a super nice dream last night! :P I must have watched too many jdramas...:P It's something related to Seiichi and Hotaru, and some of my friends. HAHA. well, recently we've been planning our vacation...CAN'T decide.:P We even drew lots, about 5-10 times, and I keep getting the same thing! :D The lot-drawing ended with a tie.:) Jeeeez.





So back to my dream, B, A, M, and I came from B's house, and were travelling by train somewhere. It's a japanese train, with lots and lots of people. (We were in Japan!! = dream come true) I thought I caught a glimpse of Hotaru, and guess what, I did! Beside her was Seiichi. OHMY.:P And I thought they looked lovely together. Haha, it didn't even occur to me they were seeing each other. I wanted to take a photo at least, but we reached our stop, and I thought, OH WELL, next time.O_O




Fastforward, the next day, we boarded a train again, this time it wasn't packed, and I saw them agaaain! This time I approached them for photo-taking purposes. Very nice people! Unfortunately, the rechargeable batteries I brought on that trip were old, and my cammy kept flashing 'Change the battery pack'. Even with the worn-out extra batteries, I could only get my camera to work for a few shots. Darn~~~~~! You bet I was very disappointed. At that time I was sitting beside Hotaru, and to my surprise, she spoke english pretty well! I did attempt some Japanese sentences, I can't remember what exactly, but I think I said something like 'I saw you too yesterday on the train!! I think it was around this time, but there were so many people I couldn't get to you both!" (but I think this is the calm/relaxed version.:D In my dream there would've been more exclamation points. Heehee.) Hotaru is pretty much what you see on tv, and she's pretty!




At this time, we reached our stop, my friends were calling to me but I said something like I'll catch up with you later! (UUWAAH.)




Anyway, after taking a photo with Hotaru I moved to Seiichi's side.♥ ♥ (Seiichi ♥ ♥ ....) Actually Seiichi is ..hmm, lol, he's not exactly young, but I LOVE his character, and he's good-looking. In my dream he did not converse well in English, I don't know how I managed to speak in Japanese!! o_O I think Hotaru must have done a little translation.:P I wanted a photo of myself with Seiichi, so i took out my camera (remember it only takes about 1 or 2 photos when the battery gets cranky), I took it myself, but after viewing it, I only saw a zoomed out nose in the screen! T_T LOL. I couldn't get my camera to work again so I thought I'd just sit down and chat with them! But luckily, M stayed. A&B got off the earlier stop, but M stayed because M knew the Japanese actors too. she brought her huge new camera. The lens was EOS-like, but the body is permanent, and was grey in colour. She took our photos (WEEE! :D), and loads of them too. They were super nice. M also took a bunch of photos of me and Seiichi and to my surprise, I got a チュウウウウウ　from him! ♥ ♥ ♥ (My heart swelled~~ 誠一！！♥ ♥ ) And he just flashed me a super nice smile. (Oh, and Hotaru seemed fine with it.....>_<)




I was content and happy and decided to leave them alone and get off the next stop since we missed two already.




Fastforward again, M and I were at the airport, it was bright, upon exit, we were looking left and right for A&B. We were at a parking space, there was a restroom, we met someone I know and when I asked if thie person saw A & B, the person said they are and are just about to leave the restroom. (FYI, there was absolutely no way this person could know A&B in real life!) So M and I waited, but after a while, we thought maybe they left?? while we waited, M asked me to take a photo of her with the name of the japanese airport in the background (this wasn't Tokyo, it was some Japanese machi I'm not familiar with...). First time I get to use her camera! The photo quality was wonderful, I thought, but what a weird click the shutter button made! when you press it it's like a click-y pen. So I thought, oh, maybe that's how it takes good photos, I flipped it over to see if this was a G-series point-and-shoot, and it wasn't! (GAh, I could remember the model this morning but now I can't), And then I examined the camera again, I thought, what a weird plastic body, completely different from the usual camera. The body was made of transluscent plastic, and then when I checked it again, it was rubber! Like it was filled with air inside, プニプ二！ LOL, It was weird, I couldn't get how a camera could be made out of something like that. If you're paying for that thing, you're paying for its good quality lens and not the cheap rubber body. I held onto M's camera for a bit and took photos of the place, and then I saw a group of people gathered at some spot. I went over and saw A&B waving! Oh goody. After meeting up with them I told them about the events on the train.:P As we were about to leave, I realized I left M behind! :P And her camera was with me, I ran back to where we were, found her there, and we met with A&B again.




And my dream ended.:P Long dream. Haha, now I can forget it and re-read this entry. Lol. Forget everything except the チュウウウウウ! :P





Now I'm off to watch Yumeiro Patissiere.:D

I am getting lazier and lazier to post now! (More like I'm busy with other stuff and when I do go about blogging it takes quite a lot off what little free time I have in the evening...>_<) Ack, and I haven't posted anything on my photoblog since JULY. I watched the first episode of Covert Affairs while I ate my カレーライス dinner.xD I will continue with the rest of the episodes in the next few days I think. It's actually pretty nice.:P




Yesterday I finally finished 砂時計　Sunadokei。 That's 60 episodes! ^_^ There were a lot of flashbacks and dragging parts, I skipped through the flashbacks, only because they include it in almost all the episodes that follow. And I think it is a waste of time to watch the same clip over and over and over again.:P but I quite liked the ending! A little annoying because you sort of know it would end like that, and yet you have to sit through all the episodes because you want to know how it ended that way. (err, or something like that..:P) --I cry everytime I watch Sunadokei! o_O So depressing. But I ended up finishing the whole thing anyway. LOL. And guess what I ended up doing after... digging up my old stuff. I actually kind of hate it and want to put it in a box somewhere.....=_= I think I'll do just that.:P

I was late for my Japanese class again last Saturday! (WAAH), I was late too last week, but after a super late night --because of clay work and japanese-- SIGH. It's so hard to get up in the morning and feel energetic. But last week was tiring, maybe because of lack of sleep.




I think it showed because for starters I had bad hair day, and no matter how I tried to look awake and full of energy, I looked sleepy and droopy (in the mirror).-_- And then towards the end of the class our prof said something like folding paper to relieve stress. (I think that kind of worked though because I did feel better after).




Our prof from out previous levels came back from Japan~~ we were given little gifts.:P I would have taken a photo but I didn't get to see what the others got.:P That's very very thoughtful though, and I like the マスコットストラップ I got, it's cute.:D It's on my mobile though, so I'll post it next time.:D

As promised, here are the photos of some of the goodies I made.:D




Totoro~ :D









If you're wondering why the white ones look out of shape, it's because they're made out of lighter materials. And this is exactly the problem with the lighter material used. n_n; I was trying out which one would come out better.:P




Tonari no Totoro (L) and the Mongoose from Nodame Cantabile (R).











Totoros big and small.










And another... (it's pretty obvious I love this character.:D)










Mongoose again! (Have you seen Nodame Cantabile? And does this remind you of the mongoose?) I do wonder if I managed to make a good model of it.










Mongoose and sweet treats.










Some japanese goodies..










And again...:) I made two because I plan to attach one on my mobile.:P










Mongoose and sweets again..










Cakes?










I love to make these because they're so easy, and they come out pretty too!









I love the colour..









...when they're put together.










Totoro and a cake.










More..
















If you're wondering how big/small these works are, here:










That's my mobile and that's also how small the smallest cakes are!xD




And lastly here's the photo from my last post...










What's niec about the flowers besides being easy to model is that they also accentuate almost anything nicely. Like a little cherry on top!






Have a lovely evening!

おひさしぶり～



That looks incredibly yummy, eh?

It had to dry for two nights and this is the end product.

Sad to say it is rock-hard and inedible though! ღღღ(♡´∀`)

More on that later as I move along this post. For now, here are some overdue photos from...


Monday last week:

Lumpia, and a very delicious one at that too! (from our relatives)



I miss my grandmother's homecooking. She used to make this a lot and I love it. Most of her cooking she's passed on to the maids at my auntie's home, and they were the ones who made this. It's not as good as what my grandmother used to make for us, but I love it anyways.

Tuesday last week

I made カレーライス again. :P Somehow this time it reminds me Shirotan.>_<


A lot of carrots in this photo... there are a load of other stuff in there but I love carrots so I picked them all out.


I had some mango chutney mixed in this time and the result is amazing.xD


I do plan to make some more soon. Haha.

Friday last week

Instead of studying japanese I spent the whole morning making these:




It's all in one colour since it was what I had with me at that time. I did not know how much dough a half cup would result to though and had a lot of excess sunny yellow dough.xD


The materials aren't very expensve though so if I mess up halfway through molding (like cracks, or in rare cases the whole thing falls apart, etc) it feels alright to throw them away.:)


There are ways to fill in the gaps though when cracks do appear. But keeping it in raw condition, it wouldn't look good with the cracks on them.


Dumplings. :D




SnowmEn. For it is easier to roll them into a ball and put them together.:D




I think it is challenging to work with small things. (although these are not uber-miniature)






My name, and a baby turtle.:D




Leaving them to dry for the rest of the day, and occasionally flipping them over on their sides. (not sure if I should be doing that! :O).




I used a star-shaped stencil for this one, and sprinkled some pastel-coloured goodness on it.




This is incredibly easy to make, and it looks great too. (at least I think so..)




Thought I'd leave them on my window to dry...




Rubber duckie?




More flipping here and there..




もう　ゆきですね。。。




...and with the frosty glass it definitely feels like winter.:D




The snowy, crystally, porous texture.^-^




Turtles love to bask and stick together.:P




Turtle going out to sea..




Flower on love bunny




..on another bunny friend




Doughnuts.. dumplings... Omnomnom.




Reira, this is for you! (yes, really.:P It's actually a 'P' inside your heart. LOL.)




Bunny holding totoro. Or at least it was what I was trying to achieve?




Onigiri!

*STRETCH*

Looks like I won't be able to finish today's post. It's already 11pm.:P Will continue tomorrow.. or next week?

And now to leave you with another photo I took..



I can get lost looking at the sky....watching the clouds move.

More of my recent work to be posted next. It's a series of works inspired by the very first photo in this post (heehee, that is just part of it).

Have a lovely night.
