    Ayumi Hamasaki ~ Live in Concert at Saitama Super Arena

    she has been my idol for 10 years…for those 10 years, i’ve been longing and dreaming to be able to watch her live in concert as she may never be coming down to south or south east Asia…so, being able to see her in Saitama Super Arena was perfect!

  • can’t deny it no more ~ shopping is truly my definition of doing sports or exercises …(quite believe my Dad will staring at me if i say this in front of him…)

    however…girls or ladies or women or female or whatever it wants to be called…we love to shop!
    i believe more than 50% of all women in the world love to shop ~

    when i shop …well anyone and everyone ~ of course we have to walk to see the items right? call this one “walking” but not on the treadmill…then *well…for me since i’m short – 157cm* quite often i can’t reach an item that i like easily, so that i have to stretch out my hand ~ call this one “stretching”!
    next…after shops after shops after another shops…surely i will have some things on my hand that i have to carry everywhere ~ call this “weight’lifting”

    so? we do sport huh?

    Shopping is a Sport

  • arrived in Tokyo on Friday ~ i was happy into tears…i just can’t express the value of the happiness for being here again. since this is my 3rd visit to come here on my own – so, i decided not to stay in a hotel, not only because of their bloody expensive price but also i have this desire to live on my own in a small Japanese apartment…

    so…here i am, staying at Shibuya-ku – around 7 minutes walk to Shibuya Station that is always full with teenagers and tourist, especially at the Hachiko statue area…
    the apartment is small – only 20sqm, but its nice, cozy and clean – honestly, i can’t ask for anything better than this.

    let’s do cooking!

    this is the thing that i do when i get bored in the flat…COOK!

    PERFECT! 🙂

  • it is actually a simple dream to be said,
    nevertheless…
    if you have to consider all the conditions and situations,
    then it is difficult to make “this dream” or wish or hope or any words that is capable to express the desire i have inside for…*let me count* …around 10 years?

    and yeap ~
    to be able to watch Ayumi Hamasaki in Japan! *tears come out ~
    oh well…i can’t express my happiness better than that – since i believe my 1 hour will-power and determination was totally paid-off! *since…the website is all in Japanese characters ~

    see…
    i am still a Japanese fan or lover,
    from its language to its culture – from history to their modern life
    nevertheless…
    what amaze me the most is that Japanese people are able to preserve their old ancient traditions  – mention those all Matsuri they are having annually…uncountable!

    then…how Kyoto still famous with its Gion – where we could actually see the Maiko and Geisha in their formal kimono walking around with their geta!

    imagine Tokyo with its all modernisation however you still can see old castle, shrines, beautiful parks with its own history and sometimes you can see the children in their kimono attending some celebrations at their school or at the shrine.

    Japan is still fascinate me up to now…as well as their Sakura trees when it blooms ~
    …still i so can’t wait what Japan will show me next!

    …anyway, i’ll stop here…
    my purpose of writing this one post is just to express my overwhelm happiness,
    #AyumiHamasaki

  • 29 is my current age,
    if you are sharing the same as me (well, just pretend to be one…),
    what would be the thing that you fancy?
    how will you dress yourself?
    where is your happiest place?
    what would you do if you have a freedom to do anything you like?
    how will you decorate your workplace?

    frankly…
    i don’t think i do deserve to be a 29 years old girl or woman or lady *oh whatever you like to say ~

    i’m so very much in love with My Melody from Sanrio – you can see this from my My Melody’s organizer then all the stickers on my iPhone and stationaries,
    then…lets not forget how much i fancy watching anime! love them and live with them! see my iMac and MacBook with Rozen Maiden’s wallpaper…

    Disneysea and Sanrio Puroland are my most important place when i visit Japan ~ i could spend as long as hours and hours just to look at their merchandises…

    i guess and quite believe – the only thing that is suitable for my age is my subject of interest – 2 subjects, actually ~ they are English Tudor History on Anne Boleyn and Japanese Culture (including Shinto and their Matsuri or festivals).
    never ever try to count how many books i own ~ love them!

    my one big wish as for now is if i just could go back to University again – i would love to take another Postgraduate in English Medieval History or Japanese Culture ~ quite dying to do it actually…

    nevertheless…
    i never really care how do other people look at me or even having their own opinions about me.
    i just want to be myself – a woman with an inner of 15 years old girl, a J-Pop lover – a fan of KinKi Kids for almost 13 years and keep going on… ~ love Pink than any other colours – nothing can beat flowers and butterfly!

    …i am just “Me”
