happy birthdays & steamboat!

 You know whenever I look at the Photobucket bandwidth exceeded pictures,
I am darn sad but I'll try to make it up (to myself) by having new pictures :)

I'm trying to create as much memories as I can by livejournal-ing everything here, so that when I'm 80,
I can count the many 21sts, the many outings that I've had, nowhere but here
.
So photobucket, be my friend, don't make things too difficult!

Photobucket


awesome kind of fun :) )

So, er, as it turns out I think as long as I get my documents ready IN FIVE DAYS, I'll be in Japan for 2 years starting April 2010, on scholarship.

Studying tourism in Rikkyo University.

I am a bit... at how they decided to inform me on the 18th (and I saw the emails on 19th SAT) when the deadline is 25th. Every single official document takes 4 working days!!! Everything will be terribly girigiri. Because they said they will inform successful applicants at the start of Dec so I was already thinking that I'm not selected so obviously I didn't prepare anything... Maa. Nevermind. Just that I've already planned timetable for honours... so now? I have to replan again. Sigh. Sigh. I hope I have enough points to bid. Because there aren't much things that can fit into my tt...

i'll take a break today from all the picture/entry postings and will be back probably on sun/monday! 

having bad period cramps doesn't really help.

Thought of sharing this with you reblogged from  since i've just graduated and looking for a job, this is phrased so humorously!


"COMPETITIVE SALARY" -
We remain competitive by paying less than our competitors.

"JOIN OUR FAST-PACED COMPANY" -
We have no time to train you.

"CASUAL WORK ATMOSPHERE" -
We don’t pay enough to expect that you’ll dress up.

"MUST BE DEADLINE-ORIENTED" -
You’ll be six months behind schedule on your first day.

"SOME OVERTIME REQUIRED" -
Some time each night and some time each weekend.

"DUTIES WILL VARY" -
Anyone in the office can boss you around.

"MUST HAVE AN EYE FOR DETAIL" -
We have no quality control.

"CAREER-MINDED" -
Female Applicants must be childless (and remain that way).

"APPLY IN PERSON" -
If you’re old, fat or ugly you’ll be told the position has been filled.

"NO PHONE CALLS PLEASE" -
We’ve filled the job; our call for resumes is just a legal formality.

"SEEKING CANDIDATES WITH A WIDE VARIETY OF EXPERIENCE" -
You’ll need it to replace three people who just left.

"PROBLEM-SOLVING SKILLS A MUST" -
You’re walking into a company in perpetual chaos.

"REQUIRES TEAM LEADERSHIP SKILLS" -
You’ll have the responsibilities of a manager, without the pay or respect.

"GOOD COMMUNICATION SKILLS" -
Management communicates, you listen, figure out what they want and do it.

P.S. this is just for laughs!
 Enjoy and have a good weekend!

a simple dinner date

will LJ cut it later, something's wrong with my HTML

I've been going out almost everyday and I'm really trying my best to control my spending especially with the sales going on.
I'm going to mad shop during post christmas sale and I get to choose my christmas present from JS then! 
Something small I hope, until he gets his perm job! :)

this is a random picture of a seat in the restaurant.
I think it's very cozy but i doubt it's a good spot to dine in :S


mint & more )

Relax with Jorin



it's a beautiful evening :)
Photobucket

Love having girly dinners.
I think it is one of the weeks where you don't see much of me and JS but more of my girls! 

today marks a date Jorin and me finally sat down to accomplish what we always wanted to do-
EAT.
We've been spamming on twitter what we feel like or want to eat but unfortunately, the want-item of Marche is overcrowded,
so we went to Relax, as in the restaurant Relax @ 313 Somerset.

dinner just at 50%! )

I feel deprived of Sanhora. Arghhhhh I will only see my DVD next year!!! Cry. Cry. CRY. I am, er, thus, watching it online atm. And half of me is thinking that I shouldn't, because it's only making me want my DVD more and sooner. But what can I say. The whole thing is to awesome to be described. At least the setlist is. This got long. In the end I watched both days. )

/tl;dr thoughts.

Let's end with this:

栄光あれ! 嗚呼…栄光あれ!
地平線を駈け廻る我らの移動王国に!
栄光あれ! 嗚呼…栄光あれ!
地平線を駈け廻る我らの移動王国に!

Lolx. (If you are a SH fan you should know what this bunch of words are read as!!)

And lastly we shall have a little promotion:

Sound Horizon 第三次領土拡大遠征凱旋記念『国王生誕祭』

It's definitely worth your money~

1. Taiwan was... I don't know. I just really felt something called globalization, not about the city but about MY ACTIVITIES. As what [info]yumegal says wherever I go I look for the same things. Other than the fact that there is no Nintama in Animate there. That said. I was really amazed by the Cai Guoqiang art exhibition (you'd probably go ohhhh if I said he was the person who designed the Beijing Olympics opening ceremony fireworks?). And going for the chrysanthemum exhibition in which we ended up looking at a lot of roses... kind of reminds me of the little adventure with [info]yumegal in Yokohama. See! We do the exact same things in Japan and Taiwan. The concept of "nothing" and "something" ne. You know what. I realized that I learnt that in the globalization mod before the JS marketing module. Lolx. And to think I got 100 marks for the globalization mod. I met [info]yamiyoru and Madelyn in TW by chance, and just that morning I was telling my family how all of them have met friends overseas but not be. Coincidence much, eh?

2. I always thought I was very very far away from such things. Very far. But what can I say. I was thinking for very long how I should put this in a very very cryptic way so that no one is going to know what I'm talking about. That day I got my Nintama DVD from [info]yumegal and found out it's season 9 (ie the season in 2001), so there was this eps called "Nanamatsu Koheita's Slump". Actually I watched this eps online before but I thought, this is somehow similar to what I want to get across. So Kohe was in a slump, and he joins class 1-ha in their training. But 1-ha being 1-ha, of course, doesn't notice all the traps set on their course and Kohe being the boukun very reliable senpai of course points the traps out and saves Ran-chan and co. And thanks to how useless er, he managed to help 1-ha he regains his confidence. And they lived happily ever after. How to say. I am now very relieved that... I am useful enough a human to live on my own. And that I am not a 大小姐. Like. Seriously. Hmm. I wonder if this is cryptic enough. I can only say, I think I am getting pissed off for the right things.

3. I was away from the internets for so many days D: Just notes for myself. I really want to see how Moyashimon will look IRL. Thus I'm seriously looking forward to the live drama. And then I really want to see Namika-chan's movie. I think I read that somewhere before but I saw it again when I was backlogging Tokyograph just now so I shall say this again. I want to see the movie that Namika-chan is directing. Apparently Mamo-chan is going to be the lead actor? Good I'll have a fine time laughing. Oh speaking of Namika-chan so in the end the PHANTOM single was really released as Saiga Mitsuki feat. JUST with Namikawa Daisuke? So long, the name. The photoshoot in Pick-up Voice 25 was so, so cool. (Although I was really stunned/awed by JunJun's shoot. Really.) Pick-up Voice pwns all other magazines in terms of photoshoots. I mean that. Although I like SeiGura a lot too. I should check out 北村一輝's main role in a drama series next season.

4. You know. I like Kiiyan's voice. Gosh this is so random. And also randomly I think Remioromen's vocalist is cute. Very cute.

5. 市村鉄之助(須賀健太), 辰之助(古川雄大), 沖田総司(柳下大), 近藤勇(遠藤章造). When I saw Tetsu's cast I was like OHHH!!! When I saw Onii-chan's cast it's hmmm... When I saw Yanagishita Tomo it's LOLX. OMG LOLX. But I'm still a bit interested to watch one eps of PEACEMAKER Kurogane the drama for Suga Kenta. I rather like him. Lolx. Although my only impression of him was in Kuitan and that spaghetti song.

6. I bought two books by 森見登美彦. In chinese but well. I have been staring at 夜は短し歩けよ乙女 the bunko book forever but instead got the chinese version in the end. Haha. It's rather interesting. I haven't been reading non-light novel novels for a very very long time.

belledicious

It was hilarious how I met belle.
I was in the queue during the bonitochico birthday bash when I was alone because my friends were at the side deciding if they should buy something, and I was bored, so I tried to talk to the 2 ladies behind me.
 
I was like " a lot of people right?", "what are you buying?", "quite nice hor that piece?"
I hope the two didn't find me funny.

Then somehow, one of the 2 ladies found me and commented on my blog and said that she was one of the two nice ladies who tried to listen to my endless talking. Hee.
This is the version I remembered but if I did recall wrongly, please correct me, Belle!
So finally we got on commenting, and even talked on cozycot before we started to msn like crazy.
You know I hardly even MSN because i'll try to find things online to do
but Belle does it almost everyday msn-ing me asking me about my day and sharing a particular item she likes and vice versa and etc!

Ok I need not go on with my oldmama's story but meet Isabelle, the sweet lady
with her yummy soup and yumyum bread

and her friend who talks non-stop when she's shy but still wants to talk,
 
yeah look at my dish, i swore off KFC's Fried and Oily like Mad chicken, breasts in particular, since wings are too small.
We had soup spoon, it was good!

She had Beef Goulash, which smells, looks and tastes good, while I had the most boring but healthy Tokyo Chicken Stew, basically boiled chicken, and loads of veggies, but still good anyway since it's from the same "factory"- Zee Soup Spoon.

I start to think that I am typing gibberish but never mind.

So, I was still craving for gelato and we walked to Ion to have our icecreams.
Please don't tell me you're sick of Gusttimo's ice cream pictures because I've still yet to try their other 213092135 flavors :(


mine: strawberry latte, lemon and banana
belle: peppermint (ewww), strawberry latte and tiramisu 

u must be thinking why there is a ________ because I totally forgot the last flavor.
I will ask-a-friend Belle when she reads this entry with jaw-opened expression ( like it was just hours ago that we ate it and i totally forgot even the 3rd flavor I had) and advises me with the correct answer and which after, I will fill the blanks.


OK ice cream is still good there, and btw, belle was the one who recommended me (gelato sucker) Gusttimo.

If I had a choice, I would make the entire cup LEMON,
but Gusttimo has this policy whereby you HAVE to pick 3 different flavors because I believe they believe that every of their flavors are good, if not, better than zee rest.

I should totally be a Gusttimo Ambassador. Anyway,

the water I was talking about
See - Left: Lime
Right: Orange
My previous entry said I like the right glass container/cylinder/dispenser/whatever.


and we took a picture together in Orchard Road :)
I wanted Ms. Rudolph and Belle wanted something Glittery so this is definitely nice.
I even added christmas border for the mood!
Ahahaha okay im so crappy.

Review
[info]thestylediary ASOS-inspired simple pocket dress
Last but not least, I received a dress in my mailbox after some time since I have been keeping to my budget $_$
Gotten this dress in the collection after the widely raved colorama collection and I love this dress! it has an inner layer since its in pure white, so the only problem is to stick to white/nude undergarments.
 
i wore it with a belt because it shapes the chiffon well!
 
no zips but should fit uk6-small 10 with stretchable band at the back that can be hidden by tying a ribbon attached. the "angel" flutter sleeves makes it all girly!
the awesome thing is it has pockets cos im very a "pocket dress" kinda girl, would always stick my hands into my pockets :) 

Am keeping this! :)

wordy entry

You know the year is ending when you start to make reflections for the past year and resolutions for the new year.
I haven't had time to think through things but this year isn't the best year for me, in fact, it's one of the worst years.
I start to believe that the older I grow, the worse the things become,
which is quite shingz (shitty) in a way, in ris low's slang.

People who know what happened to me will entirely agree with me, but I'm not wallowing in self pity here but it was just bad and awful, things tumble where they hurt me the most.

And, I think I haven't been sending resumes ( up till today, i sent 2?) because I'm at a loss of picking jobs (!!??),
I haven't been a good girlfriend because I have been showing crappy attitude and being very negative about things when my bf isnt feeling well ( emotionally and physically)- I start to feel I'm not the caring sort, and I feel that I haven't been doing the things I should do as of yet.

Seriously NEED to do something about my life before it turns 2010 and before I start to panic.

to add on daily bites, Today was quite a shingz day for me and more for my friend, R ( dont wish to reveal names)
we met with an accident when he picked me up from my place to pick up my girlfriend too, but we met with a car accident.
We are unhurt, but the 2 cars suffered dents and scratches,
very shitty situation to be in but thank God none of us were injured and everything was settled amicably.
I hope R's new phone cheers him up in a way and my girlfriend definitely would make his day a better one :)
they're both wonderful people.

to blog about something ++++ positive +++++,
clutch that i can finally call my own..


i am very particular about my bags because they can be non-branded but they have to be
1) roomy
2) shouts 'ME' (inspired by ris again)
3) simple
4) durable and i use them a long, long time.

Finally a piece in good quality faux leather, with magnetic clasp,
1 front button slot and 1 internal slot!
Immediately paid for this and another piece when I saw it, especially for this grey piece
because it's purplish grey, which makes it unique and it's just very roomy for me to bring all my essentials
(ie. camera, fat handphone, wallet, keypouch, makeup)

i took certain views of the clutch if you're interested:
taken in daylight in car
with flash and short sling
with flash and long sling

and comes in 3 colors.

It's brought in by a friend of mine but i can vouch that I paid for them but just sharing if anyone's on the lookout for a clutch because this piece is good for dinners and a simple day out with the long sling :)

to purchase, you can quote my name 'stephanie tan' ( yes she insist the TAN i dont know why) to get free postage.
The web address to get the clutch is [info]flux_in or you can point your url add to flux-in.livejournal.com

Just to share, hoping you'll like it! Hopefully she treats me a meal in return :P

steph in 2006 and before.

I always wanted to do this but I was lazy and busy so now that I am jobless and school-less, i decided to do it, especially after reading rachel's entry!

This will be split into entries year by year because I kept pictures and album them each year but it will not be in chronological order or sequence, the folder is as messy as what will be seen under cut :(
So disorganised :(

I'm quite a camwhore as of then and now, but I'm glad I am, because without camwhoring, i'll never be able to backtrack on these memories and think about how I was then, and how I am now. :)

These are just some pictures I managed to find in my messy folders, so if you know me then and happen not to see yourself, forgive me :(

Ok hope whoever's reading this won't find it boring then! :)


awful lot of pictures )

some random update

Photobucket
this has nothing gotta do with starhub or its iphones ( which i heard were still more expensive than m1)
but the apple that they gave out were crunchy, if they're still giving out, you should try them.
the label says that if you cut it open, the core itself will show a star, what a cool marketing gimmick! :)

Conclusion: Hmm I need to seriously consider buying Corda 3 for the PSP.

[Edit] Haruka 3 ~Owaranaki Unmei~'s ED is a Seiryuu duet!! OMG the last Seiryuu duet is like, WHEN?? Ransui no Tategami de Tobe? I think it is. Which is like around 6? Or so years ago!

Er frankly speaking I feel very very... no life atm. Wake up-food-game-sleep. Even more extreme than Ma... at least she got more variety of activities. I guess I'm not tare-ah tai for nothing.

The more mundane details are: 1) no news from JS dept... Er. About Rikkyo I mean. So I'm now starting to replan timetable with honours and sadly realizing the only 4000 mod that fits in with my timetable is... the one about law and crime and whatever it was. Oh wow I'm so interested. I might be giving up the thought of taking a GEM cos it seems rather impossible atm. Unless I take like, what, Intro to the Nanoworld?? 2) No news from FASS either so I missed the module preference exercise. Thanks so much for your useful responses.

Sian.

Didn't sleep well today so felt really tired! :(
Left my place at 8+ for the private shiseido sale and the response was good. Far better than the laniege one even during off peak hours.
Many OLs must have taken half day leaves, but it's rather worth it, especially for Majorlica (3 for $15) and Shiseido products (50%) :)

Then went for a really good lunch the girls.
Got along well with Christine and Jasmine whom I met through Sarah today :)
Kudos to Sarah who passed the invites.
Will blog more about it when I get more pictures!


and I picked this up from the library today ! :)
Photobucket


being a fan of her book, as well as dan brown's, it didnt help that both of them came out the larger sizes instead of the regular a5s and I bought Dan B.'s and forgo buying Sophie K.'s to save $.
So I decided to reserve from NLB and after 1.5months, voila, the notice came to pick the book up!
$1.55 VS $30+ , I get to keep this for 2 weeks then return it! :)

As for Dan B.'s the lost symbol, anyone who wishes to take over this in Jan 2010 ( excellent condition, bought for $36 from borders)
can purchase from me at $20.
Just let me know! :)

Plaid shirt

I really like this you know, but at the current financial status, I don't think I'm ready to blow SGD90 on this plaid shirt that you think you can get from GAP or Uniqlo.
Then again, the material is fab till I have to rave, just that I'm unsure of the times of washes that I can do with this.

im very stingy one, anything that goes beyond $45 for a top, unless they're brands like BEBE or I feel that I am a cash cow that day,
or it has a cut that i can't resist,
or else it's very hard to splurge!
plaid
goes uber well with jeans too! *SHRIEKS*

sales this week: bc sale and shiseido sales. really gonna kaching$_$
