Welcoming 2015 and Saying My Last Goodbyes to 2014

There was so many thoughts and words on my mind before I started writing but when faced with a blank canvas, I guess the mind copied the idea of blank canvas being cool and most of my thoughts, jumbled or not seem to be gone so lets see if it flows back as I write on.

Well, first of all, time indeed does fly and it has been exactly half a year since I have last been on this platform.  My once before constant platform that I turn to to express my thoughts has been rocked and it is not because of a New Year or a New Year resolution that made me came back.  It's just coincidence that something happened today and it made me thought of this this platform that I once have and will always have.  It's like a long lost love whom I know I can always fall back on at any time, any place, waiting for me loyally as long as I intend to return.

The start of a new year and this is the time where everyone seems to be busy making resolutions, except me.  The last time I made a NY resolution was at the end of 2k12, over here and wow, that nostalgic sense that is kicking in as I revisit my older posts.  I am just smiling in my seat, recalling the times where I have fulfilled some of the resolutions and looking at those that has not been fulfilled yet and wondering if I should make another set of NY resolutions for this year.

The fun part of making a (long) list of NY resolutions is the satisfaction feelings that you get when you achieved it because you get to put a big, fat, tick on those that you have finished.  Gives you a sense of motivation, that's what resolutions are all about.  It's like a small gentle push that you need before jumping off the cliff on that bungee jump.  You know it's going to be alright but at times, you still need that gentle push to help you get going.

Ahh 2014, where to start.  Each year has been a roller coaster ride because it's impossible to go through 365 days doing the exact same thing and facing the exact same circumstances everyday but 2014, it has been quite a ride.  I've done a lot of things I never thought I was capable of doing, faced a lot of troubles that I never thought I would ever have to face and the year ended and started with a bang.

A short summary to you and to myself of what happened in 2014:

1.  Travelled to a few different countries for a long period of time and truly enjoying myself, one of which I travelled there alone, something that I have never done before but something that surprisingly, I enjoyed it a lot and am looking forward to the next travel be it with or without company;



2.  Discovering that words will always only be words and you can never measure the depth and value of words that one says:  Never hold a person's word too much because it's like water:  it can never take a solid form and it will morph according to the situation that fits it best, hence, action speaks louder and carries more truth than words;



3.  I have finally truly experienced Autumn, it's really beautiful :);






4.  Met up with a friend that I've met online from 7 years back who turns out to be exactly who he says he is and not some psychotic, scary man who would try to run away with my organs or so;

5.  Understanding the idea that when one door closes, two more opens up.  One friend goes, a few other approaches;



6.  Life is funny and things happens in a really weird and unsuspecting manner.  It's like cancer, you never know when and how it hits you, it just does and when it happens, you have to deal with it;




7.  Finding another me, it's interesting, especially for a narcissist like me who loves mirror, it's like talking to my own reflection but one who actually talks back, which brings me to the next thought <- well when I describes it like this it sounds a little creepy but I meant it in the best possible way!;

8.  I have found another me but I am still on a journey to find myself.  I am lost at sea and am trying to find that sanctuary, that island that would save me but the question and unknown answer it: Would I find it?



9.  I picked up drawing and cooking in 2014, it's really fun while I was at it;







10.  Met a celebrity at Apple Store and many more but that's where the list should end for now.



Reading back at the list, it does not sound like I had a good year but in all honesty, I think I did had a good year and am hoping this year would be just as interesting and challenging as the last and I am looking forward to a few things in 2015.

The reason I didn't make a list of resolutions for this year is because I already know what I want (for some) and I will try to achieve it by all means but on other areas, it's still hella grey and I am still looking for my way out.  

Another question that lingers:  Have I been a better person in 2014 than I was in 2013? Am I a wiser person today than I was last year? I don't know the answer and I can't answer it for sure myself because it would have been a very bias answer but instead of looking back that much, I  tell myself to  look forward more and strive to be a better person each coming day.  Work smarter, be wiser, walk faster, be tougher, love harder, do everything better then at least at the end of 2015, I am able to tell myself, I have tried and did my best everyday, living life to the fullest each day without regrets.

Looking forward to having you, 2015.  Lets take on this year together, hand in hand and not against one another! Good bye 2014, I will always remember you :3

Apple Crazy Family

Because last night I was hit by not one but 13 Apples when I was sitting under the tree.  Beat Newton 13:1.
Just kidding.  There's no apple trees in Malaysia though I wish they have.  It will actually mean we would have cooler climates around.

When I mention Apple, of course I am referring to THE Apple products, started by the infamous Steve Job and it's no secret that I am a HUGE Apple fan ever since their first iPhone came out.  Remember me refusing to leave the Japan's Apple store when iPhone 5 first came out here and goggling over all the endless choices of iPhone cases and accessories.  Oh, the good ol' times.

It's also not news that there's a strong rivalry between the two giant Smartphone Companies aka Apple and Samsung and it's also not news that when an Android user (usually Samsung owners) meets an iPhone owner, there will be instant eye war and the 'toe to head look', sizing up each other and then walk away, accepting our differences OR proceed to bickering about why Samsung or iPhone is better.  Today we are NOT going to bicker about whether Samsung is better or iPhone is better (of course iPhone is better, I was just kidding you!) but to look at who is the bigger winner from all this taking sides and bickering!

I heart heart heart heart heart my iPhone.

Earlier this month, Allison Morris from MBAonline.com contacted me because she came across my Apple vs Samsung post <3.  She did a very extrinsic research and came up with an intrigue graphic design with her team of designers of the breakdowns of Apple and Samsung's selling, shipping, earnings, profits with the gigantic title "Could Samsung Take Apple Down" and finally showing who is having the last laugh from the competition.  I mean I was curious myself to know who did better last year with the new iPhone 5, new Macbooks, iPads and etc in the market after Steve Job's passing away and Cook took over + the release of SO MANY (I can never keep up with Samsung) Samsung models aka Samsung S III, Samsung S III mini, Samsung Note 2, Samsung this and Samsung that, you know, so that if Apple did better I can rub it in Android user's face! Lolol. I am not just kidding.  So, let the competition comparison begin!

Samsung vs Apple Infographic


Original Image here


Well, it seems like in terms of profit, Apple fair much better because they did not spend that much on commercials or Advertising because who needs advertisement when you are Apple >D  Apple users are more loyal?  WRONG!  We just know which is better and more worth of the quality.  Hueahueaheae.  I mean seriously, it doesn't hang, there's tonnes of free apps around or heck, an app is just USD 0.99 or USD 1.99.  Don't tell me you can't afford that, like seriously.  You spend more on your donut or make up >D  It has awesome camera AND it looks classy.  I can only tell your Samsung models judging by the size of the phone.  It's either smaller or bigger.

There's only one two good thing about all this crazy competition going around:  The first one is forcing the two giant smartphone companies to compete and come up with better, more quality product and two, they are creating more and more job opportunities!

I realized Apple is like a woman.  You give them something, they multiply and make it better for you >D  You give them shit, they give you hell.  Heauehaeahuea.  So, don't mess with Apple!

Hold and behold, our family is FULL PROOF APPLE SUPPORTER!  We always term ourselves as "the Apple Family" (sounds familiar?  The Adams Family lol)


No, we are not selling Apple products


Every single one of us has various different taste in covers so even though it's all basically the same thing, it looks so different when we line it up and yes, there's 6 iPads ranging from iPad 2 to iPad 4 / The New iPad, FIVE iPhone 5, one iPod Touch and one iPod classic.  There's other spoiled iPods lying around but it would't be fair to put in the spoiled one so yeah, last night I was hit by these 13 Apples.  Totally blown away. (For the record, they are all 64gb)



HEH HEH HEH.  One of my more 'creative brain' talking.  Oh well, it's pretty fun >D Okay if you didn't get what it meant, it says WWW.mishberries.COM <3

So, welcome to my humble blog.  I seek to entertain :D

- From nothing to something, Life is created

You know you are addicted to Candy Crush when you start trying to arrange your desktop icons to 3 in a row unconsciously when you are talking on the phone.

Orz.

Thank goodness life does not revolve around me and crushing candies.  Life is much more bigger and important than that.

I came across a wonderful creation the other day that I believe it's worth sharing because it is artistic, environmental friendly and pretty.  Useful in so many levels (unlike scumbag Candy Crush levels ._.).

I present to you:


Original Images and Article from Here

Any idea what this is?  It's an old phone booth transformed into a beautiful aquarium in  Osaka, Japan!

Hence the title "From nothing to something, Life is Created".  Ever since the introduction of smartphones and tablets, phone booths / payphones are something of the past and has ever since been neglected.  It became a waste of space and taxpayers money to maintain or fix such payphones so an artist collaborative called Kingyobu (Literal translation: "Gold Fish Club") came up with the idea of creating something beautiful to the eye, life sustaining and it's free!



The artists hard at work


Ain't it beautiful?





They started converting payphones into giant goldfish aquarium - a really fantastic idea and not to mention fun!  It also serves as a very unique attraction and appealing to anyone irregardless of their age or profession, locals or tourists!  It really is just a simple idea but sometimes simplicity is the best and this is one very good example of it.



Obvious Caption:  Japanese lady taking pictures of the pweety swimming fishes!


Here's a short trivia for you all <3

Goldfish is deemed important in the Japanese culture that there are lots of Kingyobu/Gold Fish Clubs around that specialized in breeding Goldfish ever since Goldfish was introduced to Japan in the 1500 which were only allowed to be bred by Samurai or the Aristocrat families.

There are even various grand Goldfish competition going on around all year long in Japan where notably the most famous one is the All Japan Ranchu Show that is held every November 3rd for the past 50 years and the grand winner will be bestowed upon a certificate signed by the Prime Minister of Japan (goldfish and PM signed Certificate O.O).

There's also the old 'Goldfish scooping game' or properly known as the "Battle of the Natsu-yasumi) that has been made popular and can be found in nearly every summer festival in Japan where visitors pays a small amount of money to get a chance on trying to fish a baby goldfish using a thin layer of tissue paper (which can be seen in a lot of anime).


Original Image and Article from Here


At times, life should just be simple, fun and easy and full of creativity.  It makes me smile to know that there are people out there who cares to have fun (in the right way) and not just work, work and money talk all the way.  <3



Last but not least,

LOL I bugged my Godbrother to draw me a Goldfish posing for a camera and he's like  (¬_¬) but he did it for me anyway, yay! <3

Have a great weekend!

Never Say Never

to Awards!

No, not to Justin Bieber.  I will only give him a "Ever say Never" to Justin Bieber.  It's not that I hate him.  I just find him untalented.

MOVING ON!

As I mentioned in my SAYS NO ONE EVER post,  ねこちゃん has nominated me for a Liebster Blog Award <3



YAY!  *confetti*

Lol, I was really overwhelmed when Neko awarded me an award because I have always seen it around on other people's blog but I never know what it is or how to get it, other than it's a pretty looking award badge that you can proudly put on your blog.

So when I got it, like I mentioned previously I have no idea what this is or how to do this.  Do I enter some kind of 'contest'?  Do I need votes or so?  After a bit of digging around, I seem to get a short answer to my questions.

No one really knows the origin of Liebster Blog Award and Liebster means "Dearest" in German (so perhaps we might just have a vague idea of the country of origin of this award >D).

It acts like a chain mail but the nice type where you pass this 'award' around fellow bloggers who has less than 200 readers (probably judging from their GFC number), motivating new bloggers around the world to "hang in there, you will get there" and not give up on blogging because that's what most people do.

After nominating other fellow bloggers, you are allowed to ask them 11 questions and if they want to accept the award, they will have to post the 11 questions that you have prepared for them on their blog and answer them.  Nominated bloggers are of course allowed to reject the award and no worries, nothing bad will happen to you <3  See?  This award is cool :D

So here's my ELEVEN from Neko <3

ELEVEN

Where do you see yourself in ten years from now?

That's one really tough question, Neko lol.  10 years from now, of course I want to be a successful person in whatever I do, be it blogging (yes I do intend to blog until I am old and saggy and you are welcome for that mental image that I've just dropped on you) or my current work.  I want to (which I will) be reunited with my love ones where we just stay under one roof in one State instead of several different State or countries.  Strive for my goals together with the people around me who has been supporting me since day 1, aka my Godbrother and Passion Laboratory.  Meeting new friends that I would love to keep for the next 10 years and more, like Peet.  Well basically everything good and positive.  Who would want to go downhill in the future lol.  We only want to climb higher, steeper and faster than everyone else =P




If someone gave me 100$ to spend immediately, what or who would it be for?

Hmm.  If there's nothing that I have on my want-to-get-list for now, most likely I would save it up first.  :D  Spend wise!  100 bucks is not that easy to come by DD


My favourite piece of clothing (shoes & co. included)

I love dresses.  All kinds of dresses.  Casual dress, beach dress, night gowns, party dress, dress dress dress.  As long as they are a one piece clothing and they fit into me, they will be my new instant love.  Hahaha.  Shoes o.o  Favourite shoes.  My favourite shoes is this:




Well, you did ask ._.  This shoe has been with me for 2 years and it still looks brand new.  This faithful pair of shoes has kept my feet warm when I left an imprint of my weight on the snow of Fuji Mountain and it still looks brand new till today.



Japan Trip 

YES I know it's a male shoe.  What can I say?  They make the most comfortable male shoes and some alien shoes that tries very hard to deform a female feet with all those arches and heels ;_;

Once, my mom walked into my apartment and shouted out loud "Why is there a guy's shoe here?  WHICH MALE HAS BEEN TO YOUR APARTMENT?"  I gave her a really intimidating bish stare that looks like this:







I tried ;_;

Anyways, she totally forgotten about my Camel Active shoe lol and she thought I had a boy over or something.  I felt so misunderstood for having a pair of comfortable shoes around T_T


What's my favourite Video or computer game?

Ooh this is tough because there are too many!  For NOW, my absolute YouTube love is Alex Goot because he is simply mesmerizing!  I shall not tell on how awesome he is in case I 'sense' competition.  Period.

Computer game!  Wow lol.  My old time favourite is of course Ragnarok Online :D  The flat one, not the new HD one because I haven't got around trying it.  I spent so much sleepless night over it and getting to know lots of people from around the world and that's when I started laughing 'hauehauehauehaueha' up till today.  That's a Brazillian laugh, fyi.  >D

The good ol' days.

Is there any "special" person (dead or alive) that I would like to meet?

For now it's probably my maternal grandmother.  She's like a second mom to me because when mommie's working, grandma will be at home taking care of me :D  She cooks the most delicious crab on Earth among many other things and she says some of the wisest things despite not having a chance on education.  Grandma passed away last June but we weren't sad because she has lived a very vibrant life.  She passed away at the age of 97 with 5 generations of her 'off-springs' by her death bed and we all loved her to bits.  I guess we have spent enough time with her and she has spent enough time with us that there wasn't much regret at the end.

Grandma did appear twice (in a night) in my dream once and it wasn't scary or creepy.  In fact it was quite heart warming and funny =')


Yes or No?

YES!  Never say no first!  Hahaha :D


What is my earliest childhood memory?

Oho-ho.  You know how some adults thinks babies are incapable of thinking and all they do is cry all day long?  My earliest memory was this:  I believe I was still a very young child as I was incapable of speech and my mom was holding me in her arms.  She was saying something and I was replying but she doesn't get it and after a few try, it because really annoying and I just cried thinking "WHY CAN'T YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I AM SAYING AT ALL!!"  It was many years later that I realized I was probably going 'gugu gaga' then 'waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa' lol but that IS actually my earliest childhood memory lol.  Crazy.


Favourite beverage

Green tea lol


What special power would you choose:  Being able to fly, breath under water, read minds, look into the future, invisibility or immortality?

Either being able to fly or invisibility lol.  Damn, tough choices!  Being able to fly is awesome but I might get knocked by planes or maybe being weak towards kryptonite.  Being invisible means being able to go into any concert and being in VIP seats or watching free movies every Thursday in the cinema.  HMM.  Maybe I will go with invisibility.  Or fly. I don't know.  Damn.  I will think about it when the time comes.  LOL.


When did you first started blogging and why?

This is actually my third attempt at blogging lol.  My first one was more than 7 years back and when I look back at my first blog, it made baby seal cry because of the horrible English, grammar, content and 0mG ! tYp3 L!k3 tH!$!  Oh keel me please.

I actually really like my second blog which I started 3 years back but I discontinued it last March because I seldoml blog on it, like perhaps a post or two in few months time and there's a number of copyrighted pictures used =P  We were all young and innocent once pft.  

My current blog is my third and hopefully last :D  All pictures are duly credited and I am more active / motivated to blog more often!  :D 

WHY?   ANOTHER VERY GOOD QUESTION, NEKO!  

I saw blog as an opportunity and also a medium to record the parts and parcel of my life.  It doesn't always have to be an interesting post or out of the world post but something as simple as talking about my car's shelf life is expiring, a random act of kindness from a total stranger or to recording my travelling experiences so that I can share it with my relatives and one thing leads to another so ever since August last year up until now, I am proud to say that I have been enjoying my blogging experience so far and perhaps one day, I could just be a full time blogger instead of having a blog for fun and having another career :D

Last / First Question :D  What was my favourite tv series when I was a child?

Alias. 

Lol.  Not sure if any of you heard of this but that time there was no fancy CSI or Blue Blood or stuff like that.  It was the era of Alias, Beast master, Sydney Fox:  The Relic Hunter and so on.  To be honest I actually like all of them but if you really want me to pick one out, I would go with Alias because I like Sydney Bristow (Jennifer Garner)'s multiple changes in appearances and all.  I find it exotic and intoxicating lol.

My job here is done so here's 11 things that I would love to know about my nominees <3

More serious stuff:

1.  Look at who you were 5 years back and compare them to the current you.  Did you change a lot or you stay the same?

2.  Have you made any major decisions that changed the path of your life so far?

3.  When and why did you started blogging?

4.  What's your dream and are you going towards that direction each year or do you think you are going further away from it?  Or are you already living your dream?

5.  Do you believe in Love or Soul mates?

More light hearted stuff:

6.  If you could become an actor/actress, singer or artist, which would you choose to become?

7.  Which part of your body do you like most?

8.  If you are able to choose, would you choose to be a single child or have siblings?

9.  Ironman, Batman, Superman or Spiderman?

10.  The Moon or the Sun?

11.  Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw or Slytherin? >D


My lovely nominees:

ʘ‿ʘ PEET lol!  Sorry lady, but you're it! ʘ‿ʘ
ʘ‿ʘ Evelyn ʘ‿ʘ
ʘ‿ʘ Sherry ʘ‿ʘ
ʘ‿ʘ  Plum ʘ‿ʘ

To end this post in perfection, we would of course need some obscene looking delicious food >D  Brace yourself!




#2  Sashimi Crazeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee





#3  Oh the lamb burger + Shandy omnomnom



#4  What's a perfect meal without desert?  So here's desert in 3 flavours!  Green tea + red bean, Strawberry and also Chocolate Banana!



Bye! <3

Today Is the Perfect 24 Hours

Today my time is really well spent.

There are times when I tell myself that 24 hours in a day is not enough (and that would be the time when I am in Japan >D) and most of the time, I wish that the day is made of less than 24 hours.  Then I can spend lesser time working and doing anything at all.

Today, I find that 24 hours is just enough.  My well spent 24 hours.

Morning and afternoon, I've got work as usual but so many things happened in between.  I got my car steering wheel fixed (some part of it chipped off on the very day I got Paddington (my car) and since its still under warranty, I get to change it for free! <3).  

Then Godparents came to fetch me FROM WORK to their place to HAVE LUNCH because of the above.  I've got no transport till around 1500 Hour so Godparents offered to pick me up ;_;  So so so very nice of them ;_;

Boss offered to buy us lunch this coming Friday.

I had an enjoyable dinner and movie date with my Godbrother's family + 2 aunts.

I found out that I am able to eat ALMOST EVERYTHING just 3 days after getting my lower braces fixed!! Amazing <.>  I don't know if it's the sheer determination of wanting to eat or just that my dentist is really professional <3

We watched Life of Pi.  By now I think needless to say, most of you would have know it's an adaption movie from a novel written by Yann Martel BUT what most of you don't know is, the book has been out for over 10 years (my Godbrother has been telling me this over and over again so YES, it's been OVER 10 YEARS!).  All of you who thinks this is a new in thing and keeps quoting things from Life of Pi the movie, LAME!  <3

Though you might not know / care, the director of this movie is Ang Lee, the person who directed  "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon".  As clueless as you are, I bet you must have heard of this.  Godparents thinks he is a very suitable director choice for this movie because of the nature of the story.

Godbrother's review:  The movie did the book justice.  The only parts missing are the extremely brutal part, which might not be suitable for audience purposes.

I am not going to spoil the story of Life of Pi here for you because I hate spoilers like you (I think) but I've known the summary of the story even before I watched the movie.  I think it's very rare for you to watch a movie where the Director absolutely did not mess with the important story line of a novel and just bring it out in its entirety from words to a motion moving picture.

All I can say is it's a good movie.  Well worth of the move ticket money.

After the movie date, I got an unexpected call from a friend saying that he is hungry and he wants someone to accompany him for dinner.  Of all the places, we went to McDonalds JUST when Godbrother and I was telling each other we should go and buy McDonald's Happy Meal Set just for the Rise of the Guardian toy like 3 hours earlier!

But I was super disappointed cause my friend didn't order the Happy Meal Set T_T  BUT as a surprise, he got me a toy! O.O  He says it was a gift from the set meal that he ordered but later told he it's just a small token he bought so HERE IT IS!  


Can you believe that this is actually MY FAVOURITE CHARACTER from Rise of the Guardian?!  It's THE SANDMAN and he is just SUPERBLY ADORABLE to the max and and, today's the LAST day to get him!! /hops around  THANK YOU FRIEND, for getting me this <3

When I was in McDonalds' and sitting there waiting for my friend to come with his food, there was a McDonald cleaning lady who are in her early twenties I would say and she was just wiping the table in front of me and glanced up at me because I was the only one sitting at that corner.  I caught her looking my direction and smiled at her.  

She immediately responded with a huge smile and keeps smiling at me.  I did not know what to do so I continued to smile back lol.  Then she started making sign languages at me while moving her lips but no voice came out.  It was then I realized that she's a deaf and mute person ._.  She is a very pretty young woman and I was touched when I realized that she was telling me that my hair is very nice because she keeps pointing to my hair and making some curly movements with thumbs up.

I feel like kicking myself for not knowing how to say thank you in sign language at that moment of time and I could only mouth the words 'thank you'.  She attempted to struck more conversation but truth be told, I really couldn't understand her T_T

Once again, I am really thankful to be born normal.  I might not be as good looking as her but I am born with the ability to speak, see, hear and have all fully functioning limbs.

Well, enough of sob stories.


I then reached home all beaten up and tired and just when I am about to shower, I found a little uninvited guest in the toilet.

It's a giant moth and guess where it's at?  RIGHT at the water tap where all my facial cleanser, tooth paste are situated >.>  You might not believe this but it has worked for me numerous times on different encounter such as against cockroaches in toilets.

What I do is I calmly SPEAK (yes, speak out loud) to them telling them not to disturb me and that if they leave me alone, I will leave them alone too.  I told the moth exactly that and guess what, for the entire time after I finish showering, it lied there quietly and after I finish showering and after I came back with my camera to take a picture of it as proof, it starts flying around everywhere.

You might think I am crazy but it really works lol.  Even with cockroaches or baby cockroaches so I guess that's one reason why I am not afraid of cockroaches.

After that just before bed, I am on Skype with my love ones and blogging about this.

This is one rare 24 hours of a normal working day really well spent. 


There, giant moth and water tap >D  You believe me now! <3

Good night guys, dead tired <3

My Colourful Dream

Last night I had a funny and unexpected dream.  I dreamt that I met the celebrated Michelle Phan (Youtube Make Up Artist and Entrepreneur)  and her boyfriend, Dominique Capraro in flesh lol.  We were just chilling and laughing away but in my dream, Dominique doesn't look as good as his pictures lol >.>  Well it's a dream after all.

After that, the scene shifted to Japan where I was there with my parents and Godbrother.  It was Autumn.  I guess it's because I am still wishing that I visited Japan during Autumn and I've missed Autumn by just a month!  It would be awesome if I am in Tokyo right now ;_; So phail!  BUT, I am not complaining <3

BUT, it would have been awesome.  BUT, argh.  I should stop.

Anyways!  Lol, we were walking around and saw all this awesome Autumn leaves in every colour!  Yes, I mean every colour >.>  We were at this meadow and the meadow was lathered with the brightest red, yellow, green, BLUE and purple leaves and it was just so beautiful.  I remember I was so being myself in my dream because I was jumping and running around and pointing at all the colours to my family to the extend it annoys them cause they were like "YEAH, I see them TOO!".  It even occurred to me as to why are there even blue leaves when I was in my dream.  Throw logic out of the window Mish.  It's a dream.

And I was trying so hard to get a good picture but I didn't have my camera with me (impossibru!) and I am only left with my faithful Blackberry.  Unfortunately, faithful Blackberry is being a traitor because it refuse to take the pictures in its original colour!!

All those green, red, blue and purple leaves just appear as brown in my phone screen and I was cursing under my breath and wishing that I have my camera there instead but there's nothing I couild do so I dully and disappointingly took like 3 pictures of the 'brown' meadow and telling myself it's just the sunlight.  The sunlight is messing up with my screen colour and after I reach home, the pictures will just turn out alright.


IN BEFORE - 3 YEAR OLD DRAWING!




Lolol <3  Well, that's the best that I could do with an MS Paint and a mouse.  Believe me, it's soooooooo much more prettier in my head but uh, not everyone is that gifted with drawing anyways.  So, here it is <3

And I vaguely remember there was the subway, the food and all of us chilling together in the room.   It was a nice dream.  Thanks brain.  But brain, I wish you would have equipped me with my camera or at least not let my Blackberry screw up.  =P

If only one could select their dreams like selecting their set menu in Mcdonalds <3  I want this, this and this.  I want to be this, this and this and the setting should be like this, this and this.  Asking for too much? =P  Perhaps I should try to get into lucid dreaming because then you can control your dreams :D

Interesting right?  Brain, should we try?

Brain:  I have no idea what you are talking about.  *Gives nightmare*

Tokyo DisneySea!


Blogging right next to a huge glass of milk and cookies is the life.  Well, a fattening one.  So don't do this at home unless you are trying to gain weight *pops cookie in mouth*

Disclaimer:  i.  Lots and LOTS of pictures because Disney is just THAT awesome.
                  ii.  Non of the pictures below are edited or photoshopped because Disney is just                                                        
                    THAT awesome.

*stretches*

Okay, let's start!  

Not much surprise here :D  Since I've already hinted that the next post will be Tokyo DisneySea in my Ghibli Museum post =P

The day that we went to Disney Sea couldn't be better because can you believe it?  It's actually shinning really brightly on the day we went! In fact, a bit too warm.  I swear I've gotten a tan after that day but it's all worth it <3

Something funny happened that morning though.  My parents told me and Godbrother to get ready by 7 sharp so that we can beat the working class people at the railway station, if not we are bound to be squeezed and juiced until absolute flatness in the train.

We woke up at 6 a.m. (sun rise is at 5.30 a.m.) and by 7 we are dressed and eaten our breakfast.  We sat there trying to wake up and by 7.30 a.m., my parents haven't call for us so we decided to go over to their room.  We knocked and when my mom opened the door, we saw that she is still dressed in P-Y-J-A-M-A-S!  We were like MOMMIEEEEEEEEEEE!! DADDIEE!! I THOUGHT YOU SAID S-E-V-E-N!!

They've done it.  They've woke up late ONCE in their life time and I am going to make them remember it for LIFE.  Most awesome threat ever!  It's like whenever they say something I will be like "Remember that timeeeeee!!!" LOL. 

Well anyways, after all the hustle and all, we are finally THERE.  At the station at least >.>  Since mommie and daddie got ready in a rush, they didn't really had breakfast so we ate at one of the two available shops in the station and ta-da!  Breakfast is served <3



#1  Yummy and Healthy Breakfast, no?


#2  LOOK AT THE SIGN BOARD!  


#3  Being an idiot outside the Entrance =P


#4 AND, We are IN!!


#5  So Halloween-ish!  The amount of effort they put to decorate the place is just so touching T^T


#6  Hehehe


#7  Well, bunch of guys in semi-meido (maid) costume, how can I resist to not take a picture? >D


#8  When in Disney, blend in!  I know I am a bit too old for all this cuteness but I just couldn't say no when daddie offered to buy me one.  So yes, in all the pictures below, it will be me wearing something funny on top of my head.  In my defense, it's totally cute and a normal thing to do when you are inside Disneyland/DisneySea.


#9  Ended up with this one.  Something simple yet cute.  Something that I like :D

Well, before you continue from this point on, let it be known that Disney Sea is very different from Disney Land.  Disney Land has more fun rides, more classic Disney cartoons that we grew up to but Disney Sea is more of a sight seeing,, have fun with your family or especially for couples to go because it's more of a feast your eyes thing rather than joy rides.  

Another very interesting thing about Disney Sea is the impressive architecture along the way when you explore deeper and deeper because they've divided the place into several themes such as 20,000 Leagues under the Sea where you can see a Golden Submarine, or Volcano to replica the Journey to the Centre of the Earth, Pirates of the Caribbean, Olden English Houses and many more!  

So, less words, more pictures starting NOW!



#10  Look at the BACKGROUNDD!! Even the camera choose to not focus on me but the background instead >.>


#11 See!! A photo that I took!  Pro right!! Just kidding.  Must be like one of those 1 in a million shot that turns out alright >.>



#12  I don't know what I was doing so I decided to gif it =P


#13 You are NEVER too old when in Disney!  Look at both of my parents! Hahahahaha <3


#14  One of the rides that we went on!  Actually, we went on almost all the rides but if I am to put in all the pictures from Disney Sea, it would be over 300.  So let's keep it to the bare minimum alright?

#15  Okay, I can't stop staring at her because she is just so perfect.  Perfect hair.  Perfect body. Perfect height.  Perfect dressing.  I WANT TO BRING ALL JAPANESE GIRLS HOME T^T

#22  And here we are!  At the Pirate of the Caribbean section! This is one of the ship and there's actually a live action Captain Jack Sparrow walking around but too many girls are flooding him so I decided to not join in but now that I think back, WHAT WAS I THINKING!  I should have took a picture with him!! Good job brain, good job.


#23  This place is quite beautiful as it really has those ancient pirate-ish architecture to this section.


#24 Never too old.  



#25  Tee-hee-hee.  Awesome family photo <3

#31  HAHAHA, AGRABAH!  Aladdin <3  Sorry but I had to be Indian here.


#32 OKAY stop right here!  Check out this cute cup that I am holding onto.  Do you know what it is?  SALT ICE CREAM.  I am NOT kidding you!!  This ice cream is super creamy and the after taste is a little bit salty but it's super good!  A MUST TRY when you are in Disney Sea!!  I kid you not!


#33 Closer view!


#34  The two best thing in life:  Food and Vacation.  Lolol

#36  Little Aladdin!  Japanese parents super love to dress their children up!  You see little Aladdin, Snow White, Cinderella, and Captain Jack Sparrow everywhere!  I do wonder where they got this costumes though :O  Maybe it's sold in Disney itself or it's custom made.  I have no idea. Wait.  DID you see what is the kid holding in his hand?!  A freaking smart phone.  Kid, I am still using button phone.  What's happening to the world? T_T


#37  Little Princess Jasmine asking for directions <3

#44  Lol I saw one of the worker sweeping the floor and after he left, a few kids gathered around the leaves so I went over to have a peep and this is what I found!  This Japanese people are so damn adorable and creative lol.

All good things have to come to an end so on our way out, we stopped by few of the shops to look at more Disney merchandise =P
