EMODA

May 16, 2012

As a fashion blogger, if you ask me what’s my favorite fashion brand, i will tell you EMODA is on the very very very top of my list. I’m afraid it could even be my number one.

My story with EMODA is an interesting one, although it happened just about a year ago. But it pretty much defines my whole fashion style right now, so that’s how significant this brand it is to me.

To cut the long story short, if you read me long enough you know that i used to dress really cute and girly Japanese style. But since meeting Lie and Maiko during Tokyo Kawaii TV, they have influenced me to embrace the more adult and cool side of Japanese fashion. And EMODA is the very first brand that got me addicted to MODE style forever.

 

 

What is MODE-style?

It derives from the french word “mode”, which pretty much means fashion/style. But in Japanese it means “high fashion”, and it focuses on simplicity, silhouette and bold designs and one of it’s most distinct characteristics is being monotone (mostly black and white).

As for EMODA, it’s for women who wish to enjoy high-sense fashion in a real-close way. I love this so much! I always think that European designer brands are waaaaay too high above and beyond my reach, but EMODA is exactly something that fills the gap perfectly at very VERY affordable price for a Japanese fashion brand.

 

EMODA’s website.

 

One of the reason why i adore EMODA so much is because of its producer, Matsumoto Ena.

Ena created EMODA in 2009 at the age of 24. She is so talented and so stylish she’s my number one fashion icon <333 Ever since then, my ultimate dream is to become a fashion producer like her too. She inspires me so much <3333

 

 

EMODA team also consists of super cool and stylish looking staff. Heck, even the shop staff in all EMODA stores look like super models.

 

 

Now, just about how much i love EMODA.

During my trip to Tokyo in March, my luggage case was full of nothing but tons of EMODA’s stuff.

 

I love it so much i’d buy a magazine i don’t normally read just because of an EMODA eyelash case.

I love it so much i would not miss any single issue of EMODA BOOK.

 

I love it so much that i’d queue up early outside a store just to get their Novelty item. (A novelty item is not for sale. It’s sort of like a limited edition present you get when you purchase X amount of merchandise.)

 

I love it so much i have an EMODA member card.

A picture i snapped outside an EMODA store in Lunime Est, Shinjuku.

 

Here are some of my EMODA coordinate over the past few months.

Okinawa

May 13, 2012

This is my 101th post about Japan. I was shocked myself to find out how much i have blogged about Japan. I have been there 9 times means each time i visit Japan i blog more than 10 posts wtf.

This is about Okinawa! I went there 12-16th April, which is exactly the few selected days Kim Jong Un wanted to fly his fucking rocket. There was a lot of tension going on in Japan especially Okinawa because a large US army base is there, and the kareshi was very worried that our flight will get cancelled due to the missile launch.

But in the end his rocket ejeculated prematurely la HAHAHHAHAHA laugh die me lolol. I was telling Audrey i want to make a meme (actually i should la but i lazy), where one picture shows the fully equipped pre-launch missile with a smug face that says “Kim Jung Un Happy”. And then the next picture is the missile fail and fall down with a Y U NO face that says “Kim Jung Unhappy”.

HAHAHAHHAHAHHA.

 

Ok did i just laugh alone. 

Anyway why i so long gas. Here’s the blog post!

Okinawa is really the most unJapan place in the entire Japan, it is so unJapan it is almost Malaysian lol.

It is also extremely expensive to travel to. No wonder they say for Japanese people it is cheaper to travel to Taiwan/Korea or even Malaysia than to Okinawa domestically. My flight to Naha, Okinawa cost something like a trip from Malaysia to Japan wtf.

But the kareshi said it is ok because it was my birthday present 

Which makes it so special because it is not as easily accessible as other parts of Japan like Osaka or Nagoya, for example. And i’m very very happy that i have completed ALL the places i have ever wanted to go in Japan, with Okinawa as the last one.

From the very up north Hokkaido to the very very down south Okinawa. Flight from Tokyo was like 2 hours 15 minutes!

I LOVE OKINAWA!!!

Ok this song is for you to play while reading this post wan lol.

In many many ways Okinawa resembles Malaysia because of the warm climate, local specialties like hibiscus, sugar cane and pineapple. The Japanese people will go all wooooo that’s soooo exotic and interestinngggg

And i was all like errr…. that’s just very Malaysian. LOL.

Before i actually went there i was always very intrigued by how different it is, and Okinawan speak an almost completely different language, and also very few people i know have been there before so it was quite mysterious to me. And i fell deeply in love with Okinawan music T_T. One day i was playing the song above ( Natsukawa Rimi’s Shima Uta ) and looped it for something like 30 times because i was like holy shit that was the most beautiful song i’ve ever heard wtf. T_T

Ok really am long gas maximus. Ok picture yes alright.

 

 

Pikachu Jet wtf.

Landed at Naha!! This is our rental car.

Now my mom sure go buy toto wan you believe me anot lol.

Salt ice cream!

The kareshi drove a long way to our hotel and he refuse to tell me where it was lol.

And then we reached our hotel and i was like

 

 

OUR HOTEL IS A CAR?!

 

 

 

 

But that’s so cool omg first time staying in a caravan hotel <333

 

The interior is extremely spacious forgive me if i say it is more spacious than most apartments in Tokyo lol.

I love it!!! 

 

Another bed!

Dining!

 

Amazing right????

And big mirror.

 

Also they somehow managed to fit a toilet and a shower room inside O.o. Space Management Level: Japanese.

 

The first day we just walke along the beach nearby and enjoy sunset and all the cliched things

 

Next morning!

The pool!

 

 

Drove to eat Okinawa’s specialty—Okinawa Soba.

Actually it taste more like udon haha.

 

Shaved ice!

 

 

And then went to Okinawa Aquarium!

Pink fish!!

 

NEMO!!

I swear this iPhone is not disappointing me. In this entire post every single picture is taken with my iPhone. Shit me i don’t even need a camera anymore :X

WHALE SHARK SO BIG!!!!

(Ok la i wasn’t as excited as i made myself sound lol i’m generally uninterested in fish except when it comes to sashimi.)

Anatomy of a shark haha i dunno how they do this!!! I think they really like dissect a shark liddat and then take picture of it :X

 

Actually we were a little unlucky because the whole 4 days in Okinawa it was cloudy with drizzle T____T.

Kareshi was a little disheartened that there was no sun but i was secretly quite happy cuz dun need sunburn haha.

Dolphin show holy cheese they are SO CUTE there was this dolphin who can act wan wtf! 

Why are dolphins so clever wan???? Howdo you even train a dolphin?!?

Pink shark made of flowers haha

 

Shisa the Okinawan guardian!

Shisa, shisa everywhere.

 

So cute <3

Also went into a traditional Okinawan house and got free tea

 

 

Drove to the seaside

Kareshi taking a nap in the car while i camwhore haha

Lady bird is probably the only marginally cute insect in the world.

 

Went for afternoon snack! That’s the menu.

 

Suuuuuuper good pizzaaaaa

Frozen mango dessert

 

View from the restaurant

Beauty, Dreams

May 11, 2012

Remember The Sparkle Project i talked about a few days earlier?

I have contributed some ideas too, for the theme “beauty” and “dream”.

 

Here are some that i am going to submit! They are mostly pictures because i think pictures is the best and most direct as visualization, although i’d love to draw some abstract art too for your deep interpretation lol.

 

Beauty

This is a picture of taken at Meguro River during sakura full bloom season last month in Tokyo.

It was one of the most beautiful sight i have ever behold, and for that half an hour stroll (even though i was alone) along the river, all i felt was pure bliss and was overwhelmingly touched by how beautiful this world still is, and still can be.

And it makes me feel that this world is still full of hope and dreams.

This is dried flower that i kept from 2000. I think that was the first bouquet i have received in my life and i thought it was really beautiful lol. After that i tried to spray it with my favorite perfume and kept it in one of my diaries.

 

 

Dreams

 

This is the first diary i have ever bought myself. It was 17 years ago. I still remember it was RM11.90 and i thought it was crazy expensive, but it comes with a mini lock and key because that’s what a diary should be during those days lol.

That was also the first time i ever started writing for myself. So technically, i have been “blogging” for 17 years.

I have kept over 20 diaries over the years, although i don’t anymore because now there’s this whole blog thing. i have written down countless of secret dreams and wishes, and most of them have come true.

When i was youngmy ambition was to be an author who writes awesome stories and shares them with people all around the word.

I guess i could say that i have materialized my ambition.

This is a drawing i made when i was 16. I had short hair back then and the toga top was very in trend last time lolol. Very shy to publish this actually lol. That time i was already dreaming about love and relationship although i didn’t have one yet lolol.

And now i am getting married to the best guy i’ve ever met. <3

I have been practicing The Secret, and i must tell you that it works!!!! It really does!

Xiaxue told me that when she wants something, she will write it down 10 times and it almost always come true for her. So one day i tried. That time i really wanted to go to Japan badly but i didn’t have enough $$$ la. So i wrote down “i will go on a sponsored trip to Japan” 10 times in my notebook.

After about a week later, Xiaxue said she’s inviting me to HK and Otaru on a sponsored trip.

So now my dream is to become an awesome fashion producer, like my idol Ogihara Momoko and Matsumoto Ena chan. But the Secret says that you have to believe that it has already happen, or is happening rather than it is going to happen, hence the present tense.

Try it and let me know if it works!!!!

 

Also if you have any ideas to share, do contribute them to  thesparkleproject.com and stand a chance to be featured in Yuna’s latest MV.

Second most kawaii in the world

May 9, 2012

Ohai you guys.

Time for a real post. I know right? I myself is in shock too lol. Will get back to the whole marriage thing later!

 

Here is the last post on Kawaii Of The World! Just some pictures on TGC that i haven’t posted :3

You guys are soooo super sweet with the comments after watching the final video. No i am not upset that i didn’t win!! If i did then maybe i won’t even have the “All About Cheesie” episode on Tokyo Kawaii TV lol so i guess i won too!

Also in the “Japan and I” post i think cried many times reading your comments. I really didn’t expect so many of you share the same feelings!! I read at least like 7 or 8 people who said that they also teared at Narita Airport because we finally stepped foot in Japan!

I summore felt very silly about doing that :X

And then and then there are also Japanese people who left comments on the post saying they teared reading the post. Then got another reader commented and said she teared reading the Japanese person’s comment. Then when i saw both their comments i teared LOLOL. A lot of tearing going on wtf.

But i feel sooooo happy la because it really feels like it’s a happy circulation and everybody is spreading their love and paying it forward. :3

Ok finished with disgusting mushy stuff.

And then hor, Masuwaka Tsubasa, Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, Rola, Fujii Lena, Triendl Reina, Mori Maya, Yamamoto Yuki, Angelica Michibata… and many many other ViVi models…

ONE BY ONE PASSED ME BY!!!!

<———————————->

LIKE THIS CLOSE!!!!

 

I swear i almost had a starstruck fit and died.

 

I also snapped some pictures before somebody told me that any photo of the models is strictly prohibited :X

So i dowan to post here but if you follow me on Instagram (@cheeserland) you will see Fujii Lena and Hasegawa Jun chan

 

Omg seriously i don’t think a lot of people i know have met Lena in real life before lo!!!!! I FEEL LIKE SUPER STAR lol. Imagine she is just like 2 feet away from you!!! And she is SO SMALL la and like super frail and skinny ok if you meet me in real life you would probably say the same wtf. But seriously her face is like the size of an egg WTF.

Anyway i also want to say!!! Some models hor, really have that kind of star aura that literally can stop heads, while some are just a little meh in real life when you see them cuz they look so god damn beautiful in photos.

The two models that i think have the most real-life aura (makes you feel like you are possessed or something when you see them) is Watanabe Chikako and Mizuhara Kiko. (if you dunno just go google image!!) Both are ViVi models whom i didn’t pay much attention to before. Especially Mizuhara Kiko seriously she only passed me by for like 3 seconds but those 3 seconds when i saw her it felt like HOLY CHEESE DID A GODDESS JUST FLEW PASS ME.

Or float. Zhong zhi some celestial movement la. Cuz she’s too godly to walk WTF.
