Kyoto 2012

January 27, 2012

After exactly 3 years i was in Kyoto again!!

#1

Some of the the night shots of Kyoto streets.

#2

#3

Us shopping at Shijo （四条）after Yasaka shrine visit and returning our kimono.

#4

Two of us wearing black like obake wtf.

Kyoto is like Aud’s turf (while Osaka is mine) so i let her be the boss that night so she brought me to her fav restaurant ever-Seiseriya.

It’s an italian family restaurant that’s super cheap. Will illustrate how cheap is cheap.

#5

This Aud was damn greedy we ordered a plate of Tarako pasta each, then horenso (sauteed spinach), THEN SHE SUMMORE ORDER A HAMBURG STEAK WTF.

#6

EVERYTHING WAS SO FREAKING DELICIOUS. Till the point i kept eating the corn and went, wtf? how can corn be this good? then took a bite of spinach and was like, if spinach taste this good i’ll eat it alone for the rest of my life and then back to my tarako pasta and went this is heaven wtf and then was all man i want to eat that corn again. And the spinach. And the meat. . .

*repeats until food finishes*

We really wanted to say it was the best meal of our trip, but then we feel very sorry for those who treated us to expensive yummy sushi and yakiniku and everything else. :X

Our bill came up to be 1360 yen. For all those shit we ate. I mean food.

That is like RM53.60.

That is like RM27 each.

For food that is hotel-quality.

You go eat pizza hut also not so cheap la WTF.

I freaking love Japan.

After that we went for Purikura!!! While still in our Mori Hair.

Omg that was like the best Purikura we’ve ever had (eh actually that was our first #addiction purikura), it’s called Oshare Buroga (fashionable blogger) or something, WHICH WE TOTALLY ARE WTF.

No stupidly big eye or overly fair skin. Just very stylist and nice!!! Recommended!

Then we were like pretending we are still daigakusei (uni students) HAHAHA totally pass!

Kimono @Yasaka Shrine

January 26, 2012

My fav part of our Kansai trip!!

#1

Woke up early to travel from Osaka to Kyoto! Today is Kimono day!!

#2

It was super cold we breathed mist. Silly thought we could show you guys how cold it was in picture. Now we just look like retarded frogs. Awesome.

#3

#UFOD

Grey knitted top from Loose House (turned out i like it ALOT!), fur gloves by DRWCYS from minimaos, bag from EMODA.

#4

Arrived at a hair salon in Kyoto arranged by Bailin Production to do our mori hair!

#5

>.<  :P

#6

Camera in front of me haha

#7

Camception

#8

With our hair stylists!

I have never seen so many cute hair stylists in one room before wtf. Aud thinks the one who does her hair is cuter and i think the one who does mine is cuter and she started referring her stylist as “suki na hito” (my crush) WTF and then all these while we were discussing whose suki na hito is cuter and she was like mine is cuter and i was like nooooo mine is so much cuter wtf

We will let you guys judge. Later.

#9

Here’s a sneak peek haha.

#10

My mori hair!!!

Super massive! There was enough hairspray in my head for John Travolta to make seven thousand musicals WTF.

OK JUDGEMENT TIME!

#11

(left is Aud’s stylist and right is mine)

WHAT IS THERE TO EVEN COMPETE WTF

Give you close up summore

#12

Like walk out from anime liddat right!!!!!!

Aud swears that in real life her stylist is cuter but dunno why my stylist is so freaking photogenic both of us were like when we saw the picture in our cam.

But whatever because i know who is the best hairstylist in the world WTF. #cryptic

Anyway ahem.

Kimono time!

#13

Ok that’s not it yet. That’s just like the inside layer nobody can see but still got nice pattern

#14

These are our pick! Very promptly we made our choice. I picked the turquoise one because it was love at first sight plus it matches my nails.

Aud picked a black and red because err… she is MODE-obsessed

#15

Our stylist is super pro she only took 10 minutes to put the full kimono + obi on us!

#16

That’s me laughing in suffocation cuz she tied the obi SO TIGHT i could hardly breathe

#17

DONE!

#18

Haha look! The girl behind me is like mirror reflection of me WTF.

#19

Going outside for filming!!!

At first we were super worried that it will really be cold die us, but the kimono is exceptionally warm!!

#20

#21

Going to Yasaka Shrine for filming!

#22

Was 初詣so there were a lot of visitors.

#23

We really wanted to write one too but no time T_T

#24

#25

I went for Koi Omikuji (Love Fortune Paper).

It was for filming purpose. The first trial i got number 7. But director says NG because got people passed by so had to re-shoot.

So the new one i got was Number 13. So i was very worried m should i take the reading for 7 or 13?!??!?! In the end i took 13.

And apparently it is 大吉 (Super good WTF).  So whatever! 13 counts then! lol.

#26

Apparently it says, the one thing i have been waiting for so long has finally come.

And it’s kind of true WTF. :X

Anyway!

#27

REPOST!

But i was so happy. When i went to Kyoto ago few years ago, i was so excited to see people wearing Furisode/Kimono. They looked so beautiful and i always chased after them and took lots of pictures of them.

This time around WE were dressed in kimono and everyone was looking at us. Probably in admiration WTF. Haha. I felt very touched la. Almost like a dream come true.

Missing you @KLIA

January 20, 2012

Ok here’s a big confession but you have to promise me not to strangle me with your sweatpants.

i actually hate watching Glee wtf.

*prepare scissors to fight sweatpants*

I am always very baffled why all me friends seem to like it even though i deem they have pretty decent taste in movies and good level of humor.

Admittedly i watched the entire season one, more often than not end up really angry because the entire plot makes no sense, and it isn’t the least bit funny. Unless you consider a slushie down Rachel’s face every alternate day as hilarious. True that you watch it for the music, but then again if i want good music i may as well just play my iTune and read 9gag, that’s at least like a light year more entertaining.

What i cannot tahan most is when they suddenly just break into a dance performance, can anyhow just go wild at a RANDOM PLACE, walking down a street having wind machine blowing at their hair or staring dramatically into the mirror at themselves and sing as if they have built in autotune in their throat.

areyoufuckingkiddingme.jpg

That is why i hate watching it because it has ZERO LOGIC.

But i recently saw a video, and it made me realize that OMFG wrong i was. Fundamentally impractical scenes like those in Glee, actually, happened , in real life. Like, right here. In Malaysia. More precisely at KLIA.

:X

And i was shamelessly fascinated by it. It was a flashmob performance happening on the 14th January at KLIA. Just like Glee, they just suddenly break into a dance performance unexpectedly among unsuspecting onlookers.

Here’s the video!

Thank god they didn’t do it in the departure hall if not everyone will miss their flight HAHAHA.

I am really super curious how it is done! Because i always think that the airport is the one place with tighest security but at 0:24 the security yelling “STOP” was hilarious lolol.

My favorite was the last song, very lovely song made me even a little touched *faces away. Love how the flashmob crowd of people from all walks of life just joined in the song, and how they just dispersed as if nothing had happened and carry on doing their things as usual.

This is DEFINITELY better than Glee. Well done MAS and KLIA!

And the Argentinian guy at the end was also damn funny “does it happen all the time here?” HAHAHA. When he said “this is the best airport in the world” i also felt very proud and touched wtf. *emotionally weak

I totally wished that i witness that in real life because it was too cool. Honestly i really hate airports, maybe i always associate it with how #foreveralone i was. It was more often than not a sad affair for me. Plus i always go to and back from airport alone one lo. This would totally make my day.

Thank you for the effort, MAS, for making KLIA a more cheery and happy place. It’s hard to feel sad after witnessing such fun-filled surprise performance. Whoever was there was sure to be infected with some kind of bounce off that awesome energy.
