I guess when life gets a little too comfortable, you’re being thrown some lemons to spice things up a little. But that’s how life never gets too boring because there are always challenges for you to navigate through. At my last check up last Wednesday, I received the most horrible of news. I had gained weight which was good, but…

life with GD (part 2)
I am slowly learning to accept my condition. While it is a quite a hassle to change my food intake schedule, I try to find and focus on the positive points in this whole exercise of monitoring my blood sugar. Although I’m told to only take and record down my blood sugar readings twice a week, I’m doing it for…
life with GD
I meant to blog earlier about the last baby seminar I attended, but things got a little busy for me. By the time I was ready to write, I got hit by some bad news. I had gone for the Glucose Tolerance Test (GTT) and the results weren’t good. I am diagnosed with gestational diabetes. While I was half prepared…
takizawa kabuki
After all the years of hoping to go to a JE concert and/or seeing a JE boy, the first one I saw was Takki. (Luckily it was Takki and not some newbie small fry JE kid boy.) I believe this is the first time any JE-related event is held in Singapore. I’m talking about this — Takizawa Kabuki, which was held…
nippon ga daisuki dayo
日本! *clap clap clap* 日本! *clap clap clap* Anyone who knows me, knows that I adore Japan and Japanese culture. There is something mysterious and moving about Japan that sweeps you off your feet, and pretty soon you find yourself being caught up in this dynamic culture. From the timeless beauty of olden traditions to the upbeat modern life, there’s just…
KOKOkim kurage hime no yuutsu
I have a whole list of other (overdued) stuff to blog about but I just have to blog about this. XD Model Kimura Yuu is hailed the queen of fairy kei and she has her own line of clothing called KOKOkim. Fairy kei has existed as a genre of Japanese fashion for some time now but I never quite felt a…
life is not all about grades
A long overdued entry, but here it is… A friend posted a sad piece of news on Facebook some time ago. It’s about a straight A student who committed suicide over two Bs in her O’levels. Shortly after her death, her mother followed suit and committed suicide as well. I’m not going to retell the whole story as you can click on…
having faith
Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders, let me walk upon the waters, wherever you will call me. Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander, and my faith will be made stronger in the presence of my saviour. — Hillsong United “Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)” I just wrote an entry in my other blog about prayer and faith,…
SG50 funpack
The funpack is usually only given to National Day Parade spectators, but because this year is special — Singapore’s 50th birthday — and everything also SG50, every household gets a funpack. First, it’s good to note that this year’s bag is a canvas tote bag. Feels thick and of good quality. Even has a zip. Second, there are a couple of designs printed…
angelic pretty special sets
Just joined another lolita Facebook group which provides updates on new releases. Couldn’t help noticing that AP seems to be releasing a few special sets at their Tokyo outlet as announced on their blog. Not sure what’s the occasion but oh well. Dresses released in special sets are usually simpler than the original releases. I must say that the prints are…
