The Perfect x Imperfection

by Kiyoko Yasuda

I've recently been MIA and I'm very sorry!!
BUT!!! I was over in Indonesia for a few days (a few weeks back)

If you haven't noticed... I'm a huge food lover so most of my pics are....FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD
NOMNOMNOMNOM!!

So lets get started!!!

My AirAsia ticket!!

Gosh. In Bali...the worst incident in my life (so far) happened!!
AirAsia literally SAVED MY LIFE!!
They seriously need to get an award! 
I'll tell you guys more about it later... so let's keep going!

So I arrived in Jakarta late at night (around 11pm?)
So I went to bed after I arrived at my parent's place then the next day...

LUNCH TIME!!

We had 日本食!
Japanese Food!!!

A warm welcome >_<

pink pink pink!!
So cute!

This is what the restaurant looks like
The TV was showing random Japanese TV shows lol

I FELL IN LOVE WITH THIS CUP!!!!!
It's actually a dark blue but with a little bit of a shiny blue tint to it!!
I think I want to start collecting tea cups... 

Started the meal with Chawanmushi!!!
A few of my friends said that my chawanmushi is quite yummy...
maybe I'll do a recipe post soon! :)

then... the mothership came...

FOOOOOOOOOODGASM!!!
Gosh. The food here was AMAZING!!!!!

The small pile of awesomeness on the left...
it's negitoro (fatty tuna with spring onion)
THIS WAS THE BEST NEGITORO I EVER HAD IN MY LIFE!!!

Then finished the meal with ogura (kinda like red bean) ice cream! 


After lunch was...
shopping!!!! 

I went to several malls with my mom 
and one mall that I went to made me spazz out like crazy...

why?

BECAUSE THEY HAD A NYX SHOP!!!
*happy dance*
As you can see... I was so excited that my photo ended up blurry..
lol

So I introduced my mom to their lipstick and she's in looooove with it!!!
Hopefully I can buy more things from this place!!!


OH! I actually bought something from the NYX shop...
The Crimson Amulet!!!!!!!!
(Inspired by the movie, Dark Shadows!!!)
I'm a huge fan of Tim Burton and NYX so... had to get this!!!

I'll be posting a blog post on it very soon!!!



after a quick shopping spree...
it was tea time!!!

We went to a cafe at Grand Indonesia
called ninety-nine!

Such a cute place! The food looked really good
but we were full from our awesomeness lunch!
 Hopefully the next time I go...
I can try out their food!! :)

Their menus!!! 
Love the colors~

It's almost the end of the week!
I decided to do another song translation! 
*applause*

Please note that I'm open for song requests so feel free to comment
and I'll try to translate that song for my next post!!
\(^0^)/


...


Here's another sad love song lyrics translation!
Aoyama Thelma is another AMAZING singer!
She became famous with her song 'ここにいるよ kokoni iruyo (I'm here)' (w/ SoulJa)

I think out of all her songs this is my favorite song...
It's called 
「忘れないよ wasure naiyo (I won't forget)」

The music video is really sad too! 
So it's a must watch and listen to song!!!
Here's the music video!


...
Remember my TGIF Haul from a while ago?
Well I've been trying out the masks that I've gotten and time for a review!!!

This time I decided to choose...
The Deep Detox Black Mask!

The back of the mask 

I wanted to post a few of my older posts from my old blog...
why?
Well for example, this post means a lot to me!!
It's when I saw my quote being written on the new Swanston St's wall!!!
So even if I'm back in Singapore for now...
There's always a piece of me in Melbourne!

Hope you enjoy this post!!

...

So last month it was the re-opening of the LUSH shop on Swanston Street!!
 So ofc being die-hard LUSH Lover...
 Tammy and I headed to re-opening party!!!
@ tammy's place heading to LUSH! Check out the new, the improved,

THE SEXY LUSH SHOP!

@ the entrance!! look it looks so beautiful from the outside too!!! Tuzki Bunny Emoticon
Tammy's excited!! hehehe
woaaaaah the new arrangement of all the products is...AMAZING!!
look at how colorful and beautiful it looks!!!
So before the reopening of the shop...they posted on their FB page that they would like a quote that's less than 10 words and the chosen one will get to be on the WALL OF FAME!!
and the moment I heard that...I tried my luck!
What I wrote was..
"LUSH makes me feel like the Earth's Best Friend!"
but I had a huge feeling I won't be chosen cuz...I usually don't get chosen for any of these things
Onion Head Emoticons 54
...but then when Tammy and I explored the shop a little more...GUESS WHAT WE SAW
IT'S ME!!!!!!
Onion Head Emoticons 12
I think I can die a happy person now ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

After I was no longer bed-ridden...
I FINALLY GOT TO GO OUTSIDE!!
*happy dance*

So what do I do when I feel better?

WINDOW SHOP

but sadly my shopping buddy for the day...
is a 'I like, I buy' person.

I'm more of a...
'I like, hmmm... I think about it, walk around, then come back, think again, then buy' 
(super indecisive)

So we walked around orchard and I think we were initially thinking of clothes shopping...
then somehow we ended up buying things besides clothes!!! 
(fail...)


So my first item is from... lapalette!!
This is the brand that I've had my eyes on for a while..
I'm born on the year of the horse so I have a slight addiction to collecting horse related items...
(My grandma's a horse too!! THE AWESOME YEAR TO BE BORN ON!!!)
Although I didn't get to buy a bag from them this time...
I got something that was super cute!!!

So here it is!
Okay...the thing I bought is inside but  I just wanted to point out...
Isn't the bag super cute????
I love this color soooo much!!.
and the bow is SO ADORABLE!! 
*cuteness overload*

Alright let's keep going...
Oooh! A box inside!!

What's inside the box?
MY NEW WALLET
I've been wanting a small wallet for AGES!!!!!!
I GET TO REMOVE ONE MORE THING FROM MY 2012 WISHLIST!!!
*happy dance*
This is a super late post but remember when I cosplayed a month ago?
Here's the link if you haven't seen it!


So anyways, for the cosplay I had to make my own collar...
The attachable collar is becoming a popular fashion statement these days.
BUT!!!
Did you know that they're actually really easy to make?!!??!

Lemme show you!!

I found this SUPER awesome link that shows you how to make your own collar!!
http://www.ecouterre.com/make-a-detachable-collar-for-popping-over-your-sweater-diy-tutorial/

When you master this..
you can make customize the collar to a different shape or size too!

Here's my process of making the collar...
I didn't take each step down on photo but you can kind of see the progression with these pics!!!

ENJOY!!!


First got my cloth!

Like the instructions said, I traced a collar of the shirt to get this draft!
Then I pinned it to the cloth and it's time to snip snip snip!!!
An apology for not blogging for a few days...
I actually came down with a flu/cold/(the Dr said I have an influenza...)

So I was basically bed-ridden for a few days
*sniff sniff*
So sad.

BUT NOW I'M BACK AND ALIVE!!
*celebrates*

TIME TO UPDATE Y'ALL ON WHAT WENT ON LAST WEEK!!
(before I got super ill...)


So on the 30th (Wednesday)
was WATSONS' PRIVATE MEMBER SALE!!!
part of the GREAT SINGAPORE SALE (GSS)

I love GSS... 
but my wallet hates hates HATES it
hahahahaha

So here are a few things that I got during the sale!!
I decided to be a good girl and restrain myself~
I'll try finishing up my current MOUNTAIN of cosmetics before I get my hands on new ones!
(Yes... I'm a shopaholic when it comes to cosmetics...)


First page of the Brochure they were handing out!
It had ALL the things that were on promotion/discount!!
