Recently, I have been listening to songs that are quite old..hahaha...like Every Little Thing's Time Goes By. Okay, not that kind of 60s 70s old..but this is like their first single ever..
Then remember the movie That Thing You Do? yeah..that catchy tune still rocks my world till today.
And you realise the fashion today is like walking back in time. What's with the vintage dresses, large retro sunglasses or the colourful plastic frames. And belts on dresses, bohemian and the big tops style. Remember Madonna's latest MVs featuring her amazing lean body? The emphasis isn't on that however, I wanted to talk about her hair, her makeup and the music genre. retro disco style, with her swept back hair, headband and that glitter on eyes makeup. Adds on to how fashion seems going backward instead of forward.
No more originality? I wonder. After all, the famous brands become famous because of their those styles. Remember how people predicted fashion of the future? Metallic suits, alien style helmets, robotic colours. No such thing as you've seen now. Everything is not what people in the past expected.
But you know what kind of trend I would like to wear, if Singapore isn't so freaking hot 24/7? Chinese costumes. Han dynasty's costumes and also the Manchu dynasty's. They looks fabulous~ elaborate yet beautiful. I like Tang dynasty's revealing style too..
Another style I want to wear would be the western gowns in the early days, like Sense and Sensibility style..hahah...I love how the gentleman wore their coats and neckties...you don't see it nowadays.
Of course, I think I can't wear them now, since Singapore is too hot to wear those lovely Han Fu. I tell my sister that I want to get a qipao to wear, I want my chinese roots to run deep. Although I like Japanese stuff, Chinese culture is something of my interest as well~ :) And my wedding gown will be qipao inspired too~ ^_^

AHHHH!!!!
Ch 56 in Cable TV is showing it!!
I finally get to see the series!! No need to download it~! XD And if it is REALLY good, I just buy the vcd set ba~
Then again, I had quite a good impression on this show, after watching the first episode~ For those who do not know the story yet (but I think many would have known by now), the show is based on a real life story of a nerdy otaku who fell in love with a pretty lady on the train. He saved her one day from some drunk man and when the lady sent a token of appreciation to him, he turned to an online forum thing for help. There, people in different walks of life, in Japan and some overseas adviced him and guide him along.
OTAKU NE!!! hahaha..I was very amused when I saw the first part of the show. All the revealing anime girls, a cafe with waitresses wearing frenchmaid or lolita costumes, and the ever important, ROBOTS! Gundams if you want to rephrase it~ ahhaha
I find it a refreshing show, apart from the usual sappy love stories. This show portrays how the world is so connected in virtual land. We may not know one another in the real world, but we do browse through forums, chat channels and ended up talking, joking and crapping with a complete stranger. In the past, I used to go to chat channels and chatted with some people who are not from Singapore. Nowadays, I visited forums filled with Singapore anime/manga lovers and get to know many different people.
Virtual world has connected strangers and made the world smaller.
As someone conceptualise, the world has become flat.
Anyway, this show is also refreshing because the male character isn't handsome (though the actor is~ jus that he have to portray the character, that's why the nerd look~) Usual Japanese drama shows I saw has all the cute and handsome mains. Weirdly, I finally see someone handsome in this show, who is actually one of those forum visitors that assisted and cheered on for the main. Funny right? hahaha...
I think this Densha Otoko story is cute...I'm tempted to go kino tomorrow and see if there is any English translated version of the novel~ :)

I'm seriously in need of something that can revitalise me...
Don't know why but I get tired easily. I mean, usually I sleep at 1-2am, woke up around 9 or maybe alittle later, have plenty of rest right? But why do I feel so sleepy?!!?!
Like I can go out at 3, and be drained of mind juices at around 5! Then by the time it was 8, my eyes start to die on me...Like on Friday, I went to a couple of places and by the end of the day, my friends commented I look dead...
Then yesterday when I went for my Japanese lesson, I think the sun really dried my mind up..I couldn't absorb what sensei was saying, and I keep pronouncing words wrongly!!! T_T''
I spent today at home...just to do some stoning, resting and washing..I need to start on xb's cloak...I need to go see my tailor, I need to get a job! sigh...why do I feel so unmotivated...haha
Felt like cosplaying Itachi for winter event but then again, no red eyes..=_='' cannot lah XB...I think I'll go as your minder for the day~ :)
