Je suis tres desolee!

Im am so so so sorry fellow bloggers but exams and revision have recently got the better of me so going out and dressing up isn't really on my list of priorities en ce moment!But it's time for a break and this is what I'm wearing today: There seems to be rather frequent outbreaks of rain today and I hope it won't put a dampener of my day. Sorry the first picture is a bit blurry still working on

Japanese Kawaii Stationary

My friend whose family runs a toy & stationary store gave me these super cute/creative/kawaii/..(dunno if there's a word for them) gifts!! You wouldn't believe what some of these cute things actually are!! I'm addicted to these wacky, strange stationaries now, I think I need to go shopping for some more this weekend.



Put some clothes on your key before you leave house with these cute key covers. They are made of rubber, with tiny openings at the sides so that you can insert your key in it:






Hungry, yes? Chocolate covered waffle cookie! No, it's a fluid corrector!!






Delish cake-shaped candles! Makes for nice B Day presents, too! Hope they smell as nice as they look.





And don't swallow these vitamin pills just yet... they are erasers!!

Video of Jolin's May 09 Concert

Here's a short clip of the Jolin concert I went on Saturday. It would have been nice if I left the camera on longer, but I was too far away from the stage and I am too short. My feet and arms were sore from having to hold the camara high enough to shoot.

Jolin Concert + Cow Parade in My Neighborhood

Hubby armed with his DSLR, and I with my Canon G7 went to the free outdoor Jolin concert at the nearby Citizen Square on Saturday. (For those who don't know, Jolin is probably THE hottest pop songtress in Taiwan.) In fact, this was my first concert in Taiwan! I'd never been into Mandarin pop much. But hubby is a fan of Jolin. She is his favorite when he goes to KTVs. I enjoyed the show very much because I was with hubby LOL.

We got to the concert venue late in the afternoon, 2 hours in advance. Hubby wanted to claim a good spot at the park so that he can capture photos from a good angle. But I got hungry while waiting so we ended up waiting at a long line to get Indian food from a vendor. We weren't able to get really close to the stage by the time we finished our food.

I also took time to take photos of the concert venue and its surrounding area while waiting for the show to begin.

A view of the concert stage from afar:
The stage just prior to the show:
The media: At one of the sponsor tents, hot young show girls show off Yamaha's new scooters:
Jolin finally opened the show at around 7 in the evening. This is Jolin singing and sitting on a butterfly theme chair in mid-air. She would be shuttled by the chair from one end of the stage to the other in mid-air. Hmm..not very impressed with her shoes in this photo though.
She's wearing a gold shimmering bubble cape mini dress at the opening of the show:
And some photos of the cow parade which recently just moved into our city from a finished tour in Taipei. These cows are adjacent to the Citizen Square right by a shopping center.
Food porn!!! Hubby took me to TGI Friday's on Mother's Day.

Breakfast from Laya

For as long as I could remember, my mom never made breakfast in the morning ... nope, not once. Actually the few times she did was because the weather out was so bad like a typhoon passing through or such. That leads me to think that probably the only family that still makes their own breakfast on this whole island is my BFF Sherry & her family. This is all due to the convenience of living on this island named Taiwan. The breakfast take-out business is a multi-billion dollar industry on this island. Everyone is either too busy (or too lazy ^^) to prepare and eat their own breakfast at home, hence the mushrooming of breakfast parlors on every corner of streets. From private mom & pop breakfast vendors selling steamed buns & soybean milk to big name breakfast chains with Western style taste, there's endless choices to rotate from. It's said that Taiwan has the most number of breakfast parlors (and tea stands! More on that later) per square mile than any other place in the world.




This place called Laya Breafast just recently opened near our apartment. They make the best take-out sandwiches & burgers. (Taiwanese tend to eat Western style for breakast then go on to have bento & Chinese foods for lunch/dinner. I'm not sure why. But who cares as long as the food is good.)

Just reading their menu on the wall is enough to make my mouth water....

This was my breakfast from Laya on Tuesday: a tuna salad burger and a cup of fruit tea. Yum yum!

You're supposed to eat the burder with the half-open paper wrap it came with. Neat huh?

Mi Dispiace!!

Sorry lovelies but I have had no time to post seeing as my first exam is looming on Friday, I will be sure to post this weekend a collection of this weeks outfits.Hope everyone who has exams as the moment is okay and BONNE CHANCE to you all!xx

Erin Wasson + Flower Fetish

Erin Wasson = My style Muse.I am in love with this woman she is so effortlessly fashionable and I would kill to look like her: -I've been inspired for tomorrow's May Day Bank Holiday Outfit by Erin Wasson's RVCA floral dress. Unfortunately I couldn't afford the real thing in Selfridges, but its my birthday coming up and its on the top of my list. YAY! So I chose the dress below instead and the
