Christmas and NYr's in Namba!

Cannot imagine how I managed to spend 4 whole days in this area without going crazy.

Christmas Day
Went to Namba Parks to checkout the architecture. We were so super the keng. Walked all the way there from Shinimamiya without a map or anything. That was close to 40mins walk cos we sort of got lost. Hahaha...... And we even when into a hotel to take the view from above. Oooliawness is us.
This building was inspired by the grand canyon. So it looks like one. Totally love this curvey edifice and its ton of foliage.
So cute.
Aww.... shucks. Gonna miss em when im gone.
This is super the DELICIOUS !! Pls go and try when you're nearby. Its not that expensive and makes a good lunch :D I got the Volcano bagel crust and as you can see, it has cheeze... baked Cheeze!!! on top. Total yummy-licious-ness.
FINALLY ! Ate ramen at the open air seating red stall place down the road from the Kani.Its yummy man. And you can add as much kimchi and spicy leek thingy and garlic and black pepper. Word of advice, dun be greedy and add too much....cos it burns!
Late nite Christmas snack.
New Years
Karaoke-ing. 5hrs. Cannot believe it.


Dun think I've ever seen two guys so happy hamsap-ing each other :PAh.....ze group of sad ppl who hangout in cafe for coffee, wireless and gossip. Somehow, I dunno how, I think I got indoctrinated into this secular sect.
Met Zaza after 2 yrs!! Can't believe it was that long. And real happy that we could just fall back into conversation and shopping as if it was just yesterday. I guess some bonds just never die :D

1st pierce. Have always wanted em. Not the normal ones at the earlobes mind you. So cliche, doesn't work for me. Soooo.......after always thinking too much before I do anything, and eventually never doing it. Im kicking away this skeleton in my closet this new year, embracing my new side, and hopefully, this will be a reminder to me forever and evermore to always go all out for something I truly want.

M'sian Ski trip - Nozawa

Ski trip from 26-29 Dis.
Took night bus on 26 nite, terhumban keluar into the freezing cold in the middle of nowhere in the wee hours of the morning of 27, tracked to our ryokan, got stuffed into small rooms and waited real long to get our ski gear. Hardcore man. But I is loving it.

Animal tracks from gondola. Acc to the owner of the ryokan, its rabbit or deer tracks. But the footprints that are shaped like a T are rabbits one lor. So CUTE ! Too bad didn't get to see real wabbits.
Oh神様、ありがとう!

Random updates...

Loooooonnng long time never post up stuff edi. Berry the sorry. Here's some random stuff that I've been meaning to post up.

Autumn Leaves in Kibune-Kyoto
Really super the leng place. Its like some forgotten gem. All peaceful and tranquil. Is loves. Too bad did not have more time to explore more of this place.


Bird house by the road side!! I is excited!!
No birds anymore....
Not even a smite of eggshells...
Poor old nest,
wif moss growing out of you,
Hope you get some new fwens real soon.Super interesting kulat thinge growing on this tree trunk. Gross but cool.

Picnic by the stream. Super the good feng shui or not. In front got mountain stream, behind got mountain. Got this super convenient shed wif tables. Got good fwens around. And check out the homemade spread. Muahahaha...

Looking like homeless ppl. Hehehe....
Mossy thinge again. Serious that place is so damp, its crawling wif lumut,moss, kulat and all that kind of thinge.




Birthday prezzie
Handmade of course! Made cake wif ZI too. Actually, I only did the decoration part. Its a lemon snail cake. Wif chocolate bits down the side to depict stool. Muahahaha....
X'mas Cookies
Fuyoh!Super the christmas spirit or not. Got mood so made some cookies and spread it around for some christmas cheer.

下手クソな模型of a fairyhouse
Huhuhu....not enough sprinkle of fairydust huh. Teng said it looks like a model of some beachside house. Totally out. But it looks ok la i think. Haha.....me likey the roof.
Who said I can't leave blank spaces?
Had an urge to do stg wif oil pastels. Super the hisashiburi. Like so totally used it so much back in secondary sch. The creamy texture, bits of it flaking everywhere, smudgeing it into the paper, scraping it off with ruler when applied to thick and hastly repairing the damage.Haha....it was a love hate relationship. Mostly hate thought. Cos I always felt that the results were too solid and fake looking. Cos was always told to color everything, no blanks. Actually not told, it was expected of you. Super the tiring to cover the whole background....and does not look natural. Ya I know, should mix more colors then ok rite, layer upon layer. But I didn't know that last time. And the stigma bout oil pastels for beginners. Geez, so not d fair for the innocent oil pastels. Cos when done right can be real stunning. I guess the gist is art teachers should give more free range to students. There is no such thing as rules in art.

Wah, epic. I should coin this statement.
