Spring colours :)

chun — Sun, 19 Feb 2012 06:00:35 +0000

Last Monday me and my doll hung out with out friends ^o^ I took some photos of some plants :)

The Prickly Pear Garden Center has some flowering plants, despite the cold and not all the shelves are filled, unlike in the summer. The colours of the flowers still stood out and makes a nice background~!

Seeing all these plants, flowers and colours make me happy! Spring is here :)

Happy Puppy

Happy Lunar New Year everyone! :) Realise I haven’t updated the gallery very much last year ^^;

I felt inspired to create a drawing related to the dragon theme so here it is :D click on image below for a larger version ^^/

I drew and colour this in Sai (What is Sai?), the text and border is done in photoshop ^^ black and white version under cut ^^

Also my girls wish all of you a wonderful new year as well~!

Wishing all of you a prosperous year of the dragon :)

2012 office

Used a iphone app called photo synth to make the main image, and used photoshop to edit it a bit — mainly to remove some jagged looking edges around.

Ginko and Yoshi look so deformed here XD

Winter 2012

Brrrr! Sorry, have been busy with some illustration related work, so haven’t been posting much, and since I don’t have a small digital camera I don’t take as much photos :P (excuses!)

Not as much snow compared to last 2 years just yet, but feels a lot colder >_<

Lunar new year is coming, wish everyone a prosperous 2012!

Japan 2011 – Akihabara~!

chun — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 20:00:14 +0000

Akihabara ni ikimashita! (18 Nov 2011, Friday)!

There are some food pictures in this blog post… so you have been warned :P

It’s been a while Akihabara! 久しぶり秋葉原！

Only passed by Gundam cafe as we had other stuff in mind to do (before certain shops closed) during our short time there ^^;

Luckily managed to find Volks Akihabara Showroom before it closed, despite being a bit lost :P

Loads of moe 2D girls on the buildings ;)

After we’re done shopping (ahem) time to fill our belly~! Yodobashi Akiba is a good place to go~ Their top floor has many restaurants :9

We chose to go to Kanda Grill this time ^^; Not very adventurous, but we were super tired and wanted to eat something which we can recognize I guess ^^;

Cola~!

Salada (Salad) which came with husband’s order of Tonkatsu curry rice ^^

*Drool…* Japanese rice is so fuwa fuwa (fluffy!)

I picked the hamburg steak set :D It comes with a hamburg (Japanese style hamburger) patty with gravy on top of a few potato wedges, a small side of omu-rice (omelette rice) and green salad. I think it is a generous size for a lady, so for someone with a bigger appetite maybe not enough? ^^;

It was delicious! So warrant another shot ;P

Before we left, I took a photo of their display outside XD

*Drool…* After this we may have walked around a bit in Yodobashi Camera, then headed back to our apartment to a much needed rest ^^;

Japan 2011 – Inokashira Koen, Mitaka

chun — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 08:00:41 +0000

Managed to squeeze some time after lunch to take a walk in Inokashira Koen + a little around Mitaka area ^^ (28 Nov 2011, Monday)

I recalled the day was cloudy and grey but I was glad it wasn’t raining ^^; Much of the trees are still in process of changing colour :) My main reason to check out Inokashira Koen was the adorable swan boats! :P I wanted to take photos of them! lol

The leaves on this tree was a bit more orange/brown than red :P

Not sure what bird this is, but it looked really cool and I managed to get a rather decent shot :)

I got really excited when I saw the swan boats from afar :P I saw some photos after a previous trip and I was beating myself up for missing them when we went to Ghibili Museum!

Quite a bit of people strolling and walking their dogs in the park :) Took a somewhat sneaky photo of this adorable dog :P a bit of a fail since I didn’t capture the face, nor did I dare to ask for a photo ^^;;;

On our way back to the train station, we saw many cute shops and neat sights in the area :D

Walking around, many cute things to be discovered!

Too bad my feet were literally killing me so we didn’t hang around too long ^^; we tried to walk around as much as we could tho!

We did have a couple yummy crepes at this place called Pearl Lady :D

They serve bubble tea too :D

Rainy day special? :)

Expensive looking restaurant ^^;

For a few more photos with a doll in it, you can check out my doll blog entry :) Thanks for looking!

Holiday food abuse

chun — Sat, 31 Dec 2011 08:00:58 +0000

Yup food abuse ^^; sorry this post is not vegetarian friendly ^^;

Holiday season means lots of cooking, eating and cleaning, as I was in front of the stove most of the time, these photos are taken by my husband on his NEX 5N with a macro lens ^^/

The star of the dinner that night was beef steak… cooked by my sis in law. ^o^

Gosh, it was so good, and you might not believe me if I told you it’s just seasoned with salt on each side and then pan fried to perfection on medium high heat with a little oil on a non stick pan… ^^; A pair of thongs is used to poke/press the surface of the steak as it cooks, to make sure it doesn’t get too hard, as that means a tough piece of meat ^^;

The fat on the meat will melt into the pan, giving the meat more flavor, and you may need to wear a pair of gloves to prevent the fat/grease from spattering onto your sleeves/hand/arms as you cook ^^;

Steak was bought on the same day, taken out of the fridge to reach room temperature — to relax the meat before cooking (don’t leave it out too long tho!), while I prepare the side dishes of mushroom, onion and green beans and carrot sticks.

We have 2 birthdays in the family to celebrate in December, so it meant moar food abuse other than Christmas/New year lol, but this is definitely a note worthy meal to document :P

After cooking, you let the steak rest for a little bit before eating, as eating it immediately will be a bit too hot, and the juices might run out causing meat to be dry I think?

Nomnomnom!!!

It’s quite a large piece of meat, I end up eating about half and the rest was packed lunch XD

Thanks for looking! :3 Happy New Year!!!

Tumblring food abuse

Outdoor dolly photography

chun — Mon, 26 Dec 2011 08:00:29 +0000

Taking photos of dollfie dream outdoors is quite a work out ^^;

Usually other than the doll(s), will need to carry camera/equipment and some miscellaneous stuff, I end up putting my doll in a tote bag most of the time since it is light weight – easy to take out / put the doll away quickly without having to struggle and fiddle with zips and closures ^^;

Some photos of me taking doll photos, taken by meganezaru75 when we were in Japan ^^/

Sometimes, in order to take a different angle of our dolls, we may end up doing strange poses unknowingly XD

Below is a photo by Danny XD

Blurry photo of me and Danny ^^; by my husband, reminds me a bit of inception? XD
