J-Life Fantasies // ITE College Central

こんいちわ

The other day, i went to this event called "J-LIFE." It was my first time going there, so i expected it would be a crowded event and all, but it turns out quite different from my expectation...Sadly, i was feeling a little bit with disappointment but i hope in the following years when i attend this event again, there will be more people and cosplayers attending it, i wish for a better improvement for the event. Another reason, why i would like to share about this event i attend was because, i think it is also a good place for photo shoot, so i would highly suggest more cosplayers to attend this event.

Going to ITE College Central was my first time, i was very amaze with the venue as it looked pretty much similar to the airport in Singapore because of the sign and escalator, also the shops there were better compare to the poly i went before previously which has limited shop available. There was Fair Price, Popular and many more, it was a good experience for me being there, hope to visit the place again. What also surprised me was, the good facilities they had build at the place, it was really a nice and well-design place, the place was totally different from what i had imagine in my mind, i guess i would return to the event again next year. Although the place doesn't have air-con haha..

So, before i head off to J-Life, i took a selfie while walking, i must admit it was quite embarrassing for me although no one was around when i took the selfie as it was during the early morning, it actually took me quite a courage to take this selfie haha.

If you followed my facebook page, you would have seen me typing the caption saying,

" おはよう！ Spot me at J-Life later（≧∇≦）‼︎ Cya guys there(*^^*) "

so, you must be thinking, what does those japanese words means? well, 

" おはよう！" it means Good Morning, and is pronounced in Japanese language as " Ohayo."
Do follow my facebook page if you haven !

Basically, before going to the event, of course i need to fill my growling stomach with some yummy food, normally i would skip my breakfast however if i were to go out with friends or to some event, i would definitely have my breakfast with my friends before heading off to our venue, the reasons is, my friend who go out with my can walk together with me for the whole day without having lunch HAHA...Normally i would have 2 meals daily instead of 3 meal, ya..usually i would exclude my lunch out.

~ AFTER FINISH EATING ~

Time to change into my cosplay in the ITE College Central washroom.

Just your typical toilet girl selfie haha.

i must admit that i kinda like their washroom, the reason was...IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL, I WAS TOTALLY SURPRISED OHMAIGOSH...Staring at the mirror, i became spechless..it was omg.. it doesn't seem like a school toilet, to me it seems like a high class shopping center type of toilet or even better, i was quite jelly of the beautiful toilet they have...sighh, i wish i have such a toilet in my school as well..

with my senpai !

(( senpai = senior. ))

so i was doing my wig for idk how long, and while checking on my wig with my camera to ensure it looks okay, i accidentally took a selfie HAHA, okay i know it lame..but still, i thought that i would like to upload this blurry selfie HAHA.

-

The moment, i stepped out of the washroom, i straight away thought that i should go for my photo shoot first as i was quite afraid and shy at that time because there was very few cosplayers and people around the event thus, i thought i wanted to run away from the little crowd but afterwards i remembered that i was a cosplayer, and returned back to the event and pose for some photos for the photographers during the late afternoon, i really enjoy it when photographers ask me for a photo as i feel that my cosplay for that character was good and people actually likes it.

Lets just begin the photo my senpai helped me to take using my iphone 5s,

Unfortunately i have not edit the pictures yet haha, will show the edited version in the future by uploading them onto my facebook page when i have done editing it.

Oh, the photos i am going to share, are taken by my senpai hehe!! some of you might be wondering why the photo taken this time around didn't turn out that well as compared to my previous photo taking during my photo, this time round, it was taken by a beginner and with an iphone instead of Cannon, however, i personally felt that it was a good try for a beginner. 

Before we even started taking photos, i did try to teach my senpai some techniques for photo-taking, so i feel that it is already quite well done for a beginner. In the near future when i have some free time, i will write up a blog entry about the scenery i have taken before, and share how to take good angles photo.

PART 1 ; (( AT THE STAIRS.))

B&W version hehe, okay i know i look emo here...LOL.

THIS LOOKS TOTALLY AWKWARD..MY FACE WAS LIKE SO STIFF, I MUST TRAIN MYSELF NOT TO BE SO NERVOUS SIGHH...

Hehe, with my Juli ♥♥

kawaii-desu ne?

i tired to smile..but it turns out to be a failure..xx

**falling asleep** 

*Pose* Will you stay with me? HAHA, sorry my imagination..

The lighting wasn't that good, i am so sorry for the poor graphic taken..

Back view hehe..look emo trololo.

I guess i should have edited all the photos first..cause all of them doesn't look nice at all..

#Ema's Selfie;

Konnichiwa, so whatcha looking at?

I'm bored...

Hmph!

That's all for Ema's Selfie haha.

In the meantime..took some photo with my senior.

-

Moving on to the next venue for my photo taking.

Part 2 ; (( CLASSROOM SCENE ))

I really wanted the classroom feel and image, so i did my best to pose for some good photos, but it did not turns out as well as i wanted it to be i guess..

My eyes are so tiny here ** 

Okay, my smile looks so awkward...looking at my Juli

This photo looks a little bit fail..

CHEESE!  photo with my pet, Juli again♥ my squirrel plushie is so kawaii ♥

-

Part 3; (( Outdoor photo shoot? ))

hmm...i think i look like i am setting Juli free into the wild haha or idk, or does it looks like i am trying to communicate something with Juli?

Anyway, i was suddenly told to smile? i guess it isn't a good photo taken because my cheeks were feeling really cramp from all the smiling for idk how long?..due to the cramp i was feeling on my cheeks, i couldn't smile properly..i guess it really looks so fake..

Feeling lady-like here. #LikeALady

The graphic isn't good for this photo...

This photo taken looks so emotional cause..idk why, its like i am leaving for some other places.

Lastly, this particular lady as shown above the photo, actually took time to visit me during the event, i am so happy to have a fan like her! She is actually more like a friend to me, thank you so much for taking up your precious time just to come down to the event and support me! couldn't ask for me, hope to see her again in the future events!

さようなら ~

Back at Watami again!

こんいちわ！(^o^)/

It's like half of the month already sinces my last update! I am sincerely sorry as i promised last week i would update a new blog entry on either Thursday or Friday but i didn't and broke my promise, but i will not do it again, i'm sorry from the bottom of my heart.

 I am actually still writing up on my 4days3night bintan trip which I went the other day and i believe that it is going to be a really long entry that is coming up. Unfortunately I haven finished typing it out..hope i will finish it soon !!

Instead of making my readers, you guys wait, I have decided to write up a short entry of the food i ate recently hehe! Lately, I have been dinning outside for my dinner, I bet you guys are thinking that it's unhealthy to eat outside all the time but, it's also a good thing that I get to taste other type of food instead of always eating home cooked dishes. 

So, this few days I have been going to this Japanese restaurant for two days straight when I was having my dinner outside haha, I guess I really love the food they cook over there, making me returning back for more of their delicious food! I have fall in love with the taste of the food they have make. Not only that, the price of the food are definitely reasonable, I would truly recommend you to try the dishes I am going to suggest to you guys! 

I would say that this restaurant is best when you go at night for dinner or in the morning to eat their rice for breakfast.

DAY 1 ; WATAMI CASUAL JAPANESE RESTAURANT.

Their Menu layout.

The drinks menu, there are many options to choose from, i would definitely love to try their alcohol when i grow older.

Hot green tea.

As usual ~ while waiting for my food to arrive haha. 

(( i was just off from my work, that why i was wearing all black haha ! ))

Oka-san and Watashi hehe.

(( Oka-san = Mother , Watashi = Me ))

OMG ! LIKE AFTER SO LONG ! MY TAKOYAKI HAS FINALLY ARRIVED !! YAY!!

This is my most recommend dish among all ! Their takoyaki, isn't very salty and all, like where you buy at the night market in singapore [ pasa mala? ] sorry idk how to spell HAHA, 

Anyways! back to where i left off at, i really love to eat takoyaki a lot since i was young hehe, so i would like you guys to try their takoyaki also, i feel that it is worth trying. The taste of their takoyaki is really delicious because it's really chewy, warm inside and soft. It's like paradise, i think i am exaggerating too much but OMG, IT IS LIKE SO NICE ONLY !! DO TRY !!

Look so ATTRACTIVE RIGHT ?! oh gosh, i am hungry again.

The octopus with green onions.

The Japanese red pickles i think? it doesn't taste like it at all but still very yummy. Starting to miss this dish again.

The equipment to cook Nabe !

So many of you might be wondering what's "Nabe", well...

Nabe is otherwise known as Hotpot.

It's commonly eaten during New Year for the Japanese, it has been a traditional for them. (( and i am eating it for my dinner hehe #HAPPYGIRL ))

Looks so tempting right?! i am craving for it again haha.

I am so sorry, i have forgotten the full name of this dish... Anyways,

I felt really honored to eat this dish, this is because, i finally get to experience and taste the Japanese life style that they spent on every year of their New Year.

I really love Japanese culture since child. I was first introduced to Japanese culture and influence by my brother, i feel so happy because every time i do anything related to Japanese i felt a little closer to their culture. One of my biggest dream is to travel to Japan one day and i wish to migrate there if possible.

Their soup is extremely tasting! Although inside the menu they stated it is spicy, but it isn't at all, would love to eat more of this dish! OIISHI !

(( Oiishi = Delicious ))

The extra side dish we ordered.

Close up look of the noodle.

To end off my wonderful night, i ate the green tea pudding for my dessert. It wasn't that bad, in fact i was quite surprise with the taste of the pudding, because it was as soft as the soya bean curd i usually have. This dish is truly a  unique one, would love to come back for more and try the other flavors.

Toppings with the red bean really goes well with the green tea pudding.

DAY 2 ; BACK AT WATAMI AGAIN !

.

.

To start off my day 2, selfie hehe.

I made 4 of the photo into college and left the other 2 untouch, it isn't because I particularly like the other 2 selfie I took at the restaurant but i felt that instead of spamming photos of myself I thought I should make it into a college because it also save time from uploading the photo one by one hehe☻ 

HIIE ;-)

Watcha looking at ? HAHA.

Edited version. 

What i typed above there is "Kon'nichiwa."

I'm still in process of learning how to read kanji, but i know how to type out romaji.

Takoyaki again hehe ! But this time, this takoyaki is kinda different, it has cheese inside.

It's called the Omasutri Takoyaki ( Mentai Cheese ) if i didn't remember wrongly? 

Omasutri means Festival, Takoyaki is actually eaten during culture festival in Japanese. Culture festival are set up by students in Japanese schools. Omasutri can also be festival where everyone gather to celebrate important events.

I would love to share more about the Japanese culture i know with everyone, it is truly a lovely thing being able to share all these knowledge i know on my blog, because i hope i can get others to like the things i like as well ;-)

Actually i perfer the takoyaki i had on day one, the takoyaki without the cheese as the takoyaki with cheese actually tasted more salty, not really to my taste bud. But for those who like salty food, i think you can try the takoyaki with cheese. The price differences is only $1 though.

This is also a dish made with gratin cheese and rice cake.

Hmm, the combination of this dish actually made it taste like mochi.

Mochi is a chewy food that is commonly eaten with peanuts, red bean and many more.. However, this dish is not a dessert dish, although it taste similar to mochi.

i wouldn't really say that i don't recommend this dish, but if you has a preferences for chewy food and cheese, you could try this dish. I don't really like this dish though, kinda regretted ordering it.

Just my layout while waiting for my food to arrive !

This time, we ordered a different Nabe.

This is Sukiyaki Nabe,

Sukiyaki is normally made up of beef to go with the soya sauce soup.

The dish is normally very salty, so i would suggest that you do not drink the soup, your tongue wouldn't feel nice after drinking too much as the after taste will be very salty.

I actually drank a lot of the soup which made me regretted, ordering this dish, because i couldn't handle the saltiness of this dish.

** ONLY ORDER THIS DISH, if you can HANDLE the SALTINESS ** 

HAHA.

After finishing this salty dish, of course we need some sweet dessert to heal our tongue, thus we head to Gelare for our dessert. oh my gosh, i was rushing toward Gelare because my tongue felt really horrible after having this.

Strawberry and Cookies and Cream.

I have chosen two favorite flavors of mine.

It looks so nice and yummy i know hehe, but i don't have the preferences of eating the biscuits haha, i know it like i am weird, i get that a lot:(.. i like to eat ice-cream a lot compare to eating the cones and all, all my friends always tell me that they buy ice-cream just to eat the cone but i am the opposite, i buy ice-cream just to eat the ice-cream haha, normally i would request my ice-cream in cups instead of cones or biscuits.

That pretty much sum up my 2 day dinning out dinner, thank you for reading as usual.
