Yell.

My editor-in-chief Lily-san and I at the historical Olympic stadium. It was soo bright we couldn't open our eyes, thank you.

YELL FOR JAPAN and, JAPAN TO THE WORLD.

Two days of Japanese music festival to commemorate and celebrate the final days of Tokyo's National Olympic Stadium before it gets demolished and rebuild for Tokyo Olympics 2020 (it was ready in 1963 or -4) - the day I got to firstly visit the stadium after the work begins with a proper press meeting, this is the account of the 2nd day of the trip and I made it to the stadium, where the Olympic flames were lit up among the huge attendees!

See what happened on the first day to catch up where I left off - including meeting the musician and producer Aiji after being Twitter friends what it looks like at the Shibuya scramble at 3AM - is it busy, or empty?

Bookmark this link as this gets into major details from morning to night of day 2. To enable the full experience read it bit by bit and play the music later!

YELL FOR JAPAN and, JAPAN TO THE WORLD.

Two days of Japanese music festival to commemorate and celebrate the final days of Tokyo's National Olympic Stadium before it gets demolished and rebuild for Tokyo Olympics 2020 (it was ready in 1963 or -4).

The invitation came along with us (my editor and I of Animonstar Magazine in Indonesia) being smacked for 3 days in the heart of Tokyo. So much things to do, what can I really do? Too overwhelming to have been given an amazing direct return flights, a lucky room that's abuzz in Time Out Japan edition that it's only for hotel residents with room numbers -01 at the end to get the full panoramic view of Tokyo through Shibuya. If you've seen it on my Instagram, that very Shibuya scramble basically justifies the amazement upon my check-in:

This was possible because of the swift response and mailing of visa requirement letters, and who knew it was from Den-effing-tsu behind the JAPANNIGHT project - which without doubt, we'll only receive the best from the rest in terms of service. It was my dream/one of those places I wished to intern!

Being really glum on that particular Monday, and post-travel that left me in such disappointing mood (I was extremely in the down side of everything, which I'm telling you after the break), I finally am able to literally scream and yell out that it was a great trip - I can now focus on the happiest and laughable things I did within the 3 nights I was there.

Here's the lowdown on the first day...

Unleashed!

Unleashing the side we are not fearful of to show to the world...

I proudly present *with that dramatic drum roll* the professors in the making of the unofficial SOAS: Not School of Oriental and African Studies but, School of Otaku and Anime Studies!

Left to right: Anthea-sama, Jeanne, me, Eran, and Kash

 Yeah, this is school stuff we're doing ^

Core.

To the core of the crust.

Dear people who have actually, seriously clicked 'Buy This' - it is actually not for sale but to let me know of who is genuinely interested, I thank you very much. I tried for fun with the new widget for BUY THIS and it looks good too, but also that the TEXT option was somehow weird that I couldn't add any text box. So this refers to this blog post for my rationale file.


This is a zine project from college, filled in with most of my expeditions, writing, interview, articles, and a few  taken from the publications WHITEBOARD JOURNAL.

 Special exclusive interviews includes South Korean fashion designer, based in Paris, SONGZIO, and the president of Bunka Gakuen Japan (the fashion institute there) SATOSHI ONUMA.
In-depth insight of the trip I took (which I've never got around blogging about it but it's still sitting there in my drafts, sorry!) YUNNAN, CHINA, and beautiful captures and flash news in the design world.

Below is the rationale file process for the design aesthetics, color, typeface information, etc. (the dirty bit of the project).

To see the entire project, do visit and appreciate it, as seen below!

However, you are still interested up to this point to want to get a copy? For people who are genuinely interested in getting a one-of-a-kind copy with extra oomphs added in the package, I can't thank you enough and I'll do my best to make one-print runs.

Drop me a comment here with your email which is contactable to further communicate! :)

Oxygenless.

I've been very, very busy! 

  Literally, last week was oxygen-less - couldn't even get a break! It's been a long while.

      Monday was a fateful day for ASS preparation (assessment) where I printed off and it came our wrong (curse you Illustrator export) and had to reprint. Ka-ching ka-ching! Some moolah gone. And clear file that was half cheaper at another store. And stupid mood boards that wouldn't work to be recycled. Just all fished up! Fish fish fish. I was preparing and running around Bras Basah to buy all the needs, and finally, I DECIDED to get that Suecomma Bonnie.

Yes, this exact one.

I'm speechless. It's now in my room inside the box, I couldn't wait to wear it, and after the party, I can't wait to wear it out again! Oh my heart is loosing control for this beaaaautiful shoes I adore too much, I can't even take it off where I did a little tribute to it. Really can't take it off. Must wear them once a day. To make me feel happy and accomplished. *total happiness comes in a shoebox, like FOYF says*

You'll get to see more on my feet (like anyone hell cares) without the pink sole though but on my ugly-turned-Cinderella feet right here. That's right, feet whoring. (Y))

I was frantic to run back and forth to the printing shop and by 5PM, I gotta prepare myself for the SOE gala dinner at 6PM! And phew, I was there just on time because of the traffic jam. 

The food, was absolute scrumptious. Prepared by Indo Chine, it's like, woo hoo!

             The appetizer, was seafood salad. It was light, fresh, and zingy tasty! With a squirt of lemon, the cuttle fish was squishy soft with a big scallop and prawn. It's utterly sashimi delicious. The main course, was baby chicken and asparagus with red wine onion. Like others on my side say, "this is the smallest chicken drumstick I've ever seen" and I'm sure that whole thing on my plate is actually one whole piece of chicken. Since it's a baby chicken. Poor chicken, we're such cannibals. But the asparagus was big, had a sour taste but it suits well with the baked potato and chicken altogether. For the most-awaited, dessert, chocolate tart with a single mini scoop of pistachio ice cream was A TWO-THUMBS UP. The chocolate tart was really good with thick crust on the oustide, and mousse-like texture of the dark chocolate, think it should be around 55%-60% since it was quite bitter. It tasted better with the interesting pistachio taste where it wasn't sweet, had a flavor that I can't quite comprehend.

            Hello, and nice to meet you guys, seated ay my table, who apparently was a LASALLE student who got the award as well, Renessa, Valerie who's making her boss' seat warm since he's not able to come =p, and Marcus, the other award winner which he didn't know until... we told him.

I rushed back home, only to find a pile of ASSessment work to do,  and didn't sleep until 5AM...
    Where, on Tuesday, I went off to go for the Trans Cool Tokyo media preview by 11AM (with dropping off my ASS work before this, of course!) with the two artists present! I was thrilled to arrive and find one of the artist (although after Googling I was tad dissapointed) was really cute! xD He was 31 though. Sad sad sad. As if I would have a chance. Hahaha! And I got to take a peekture with them, and giving me such goodies where Hachiya-san drew on my postcard as his autograph! Adachiri-san did the same to my instax but he has that Otomen-face guy, shorter, much thinner, but still pale skinned cute! Too happy wappy! I was all bright by after just sleeping for 3 hours, submit assessment, then 8Q SAM before rushing to my intern place for the first day in the office! \(^o^)/

Super exciting day.

Not much to do in the office, but to kick off on our Designer's affair! Then received a call from Mario who, informed me that I had problems with my forms whatever. Had to rush back and did necessary things and FINALLY, SCHOOL IS OVER!

            Can't wait to totally start on work where Wednesday was a public holiday (when I just had the hype, there has to be a holiday) and met up with Uncle to eat eat eat and Nia-chan...

Thursday was work and BEAST SOOM's dance which was coming to an end.... hard work pays off! And I primped myself on the night for
     Friday. I took a day off, to meet my new boyfriend who smiled to me the camera.

OMG I DIDN'T - YES I DID - I BECAME A KISS ME - THANKS TO U-KISS IN TOWN!

[More photos in my tumblr.] Sorry Key, I had a love affair for a day because he (erhm, Eli) was in town. (I had almost totally forgot of my girlfriend because my new boyfriend is very, very manly indeed. Can't get enough of him! But after returning back home, spazzed on one-night-sing-boyfriend photos then went to knock herself and plead for guilty at fuckyeahkey Tumblr, realizing that only my girlfriend is the one for me and not any other manly-like guys)

i was out and uploading until 3AM in the morning - while checking "It's Key, bitch" tumblr thang so when I went to sleep, I was not thinking of Eli but Key. But my dream dream was to see them fight for me. Who'll win, the girlfriend or the boyfriend? kekeke~

Haven't read all the report? It's all at Gateway2Korea!

I was resting - must be, to upload all the photos and such on Saturday - which I recall that I could wake up at 9, then force myself to sleep until 1PM where I had to go somewhere... 50 Female Gorgeous People? Then... I forgot.

Sunday, other blogs' enlightments! Refinery29 has created these hilarious quizzes that yes, answers to all a normal muggle girl dream.

But my definite favorite which cracks me up is this one!

A great week ahead to you anonymous readers - I know I will because it's the official kick-off next weekend with VINTAGE SALE - check it out if you haven't for those in Singapore and coming to Singapore starting next weekend, you seriously do not want to miss it. WARNED. Check Facebook, and Twitter.

FINALLY, I CAN BREATHE.

10/10

Finally, after two weeks of delay, I present you a whutderrfakqizvat! special:

10 / 10

ten out of ten

           It'll be part of my own portfolio as well showcasing (and practicing) skills in writing, art directing and honing my digital skills and space aesthetics. This project has been hatched since the first interview assignment from school where I had this concept going on (the next page would be that friend of mine who'd I interviewed with hilarious obscure answers).

          Plus, it'll be what the blog's name is for - WHUTDERRFAKQIZVAT, to translate, what the fact is that ______________________ (fill in the blanks where I've found something/someone/somewhatever)  frivolously fierce and fabulous personality. Or just to re-bump them up, up, up.

              THE BRIEF:

10 people for the year 2010

Is not popularly mainstream

10 quick questions filling 10 minutes to know more about them

(It'll be like a one-stop quick profile to learn about the person)

 

             The first person who will I award the WHUTderrFAKQizVAT out-of-the-blue is to Outré's very own James Bent. Catched up on him one afternoon in conjunction for Whiteboard Journal special feature, say, tête-à-tête column?

Without further ado, kudos to Mr. Singapore's very own Street Snapper and here's an almond to the jar on his world: 

*Gotta click to make it big and readable.*

               Rants and reviews are most appreciated on the big picture or little details, it'll be most appreciated! Since it's for my portfolio I'd still go back and do some tweaks, it'll be a series of 10, and it shall need to look like a series. But of course, what I've found out on those sudden organic white shapes - it looks good, I like it very much!

As for the elongated interview for the hour, click on to read more...

Debuting

      After assessment yesterday, but still in ill mode but not-so-grave anymore, two of my articles are out there! I'm now the official contributor for Whiteboard Journal (almost about anything but hence the fashion scene in Singapore is one topic) and I am still for Hey Diaspora! on the food section.

And just by two hours of the article's age, it has 6 retweets!

For Hey! Diaspora, the online Singapore portal for and by Indonesians,

Assessment report (after I'm full well) will be up! :)
