It's gone away, to a town called yesterday Love ain't here anymore


I’ve got Take That’s song Love ain’t here anymore stuck in my head. It’s constantly running and why of all songs. It’s a sad weepy song. I’m suppose to have I’m walking on Sunshine by Katrina and the Waves playing in my head..Arghhhh
..............

August is coming to an end,Yeah!!.I’ll be home on the 6th, double yeah. I wrote another list of what to buy items. I’ve got some books and some makeup items which I need to buy for a swap. Yes! I’m doing a swap with Miss13Sunshine from Chicago and I’m excited.

Books
Here's my Goodreads account : http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/2335082-alison
  • Divergent & Insurgent by Veronica Roth
  • Nevermore by Kelly Creagh
  • The Fault in our Stars by John Green (I’ve yet to read Looking for Alaska)
  • Hereafter & Arise by Tara Hudson 
  • The Immortal Rules by Julie Kagawa
  • Anna Dressed in Blood & Girl of Nightmares by Kendare Blake 
I know some books on my 1st list (Monday 13th August) are not out yet, so hopefully I can get the ones above without having to break the bank. Books are expensive and majority of Malaysian’s don’t read. ...WHY???
  • No Pictures
  • Lack of Imagination.
  • Dense in the head

For those minorities who reads, not everyone can afford (like me).I can’t wait to go back, can’t wait to smell my parents, see my two dogs ,my friends, frolic in my room ..Urghhh!!..

Lastly, here's Take That with Love Ain't Here Anymore .Babies born in the late 80's- early 90's so much awesome music made way back then unlike trashy mainstream bands you hear on the radio..One Direction can eat my Guinea Pig Poop..Maybe I shall talk about music in my next post..hmmm

Edo Ichi Sushi Rest : Tawau

My Favorite Japanese Restaurant in Tawau.









Yeah,maybe they need to change the layout


 I usually don't take the Tamago,but I was HUNGRY that day

 So Good!!

Tuna Mayo

 Ebiko

 Fried Salmon Skin Handroll..So GOOD

 My Chicken Teppanyaki Set or was it Teriyaki 

 The sauce is Amazing.It compliments the rice.Chicken is tender n the skin,slightly crispy.
I usually order my fav Tempura Set or Udon Tempura,but I wanted a change

My Husband's Katsu Curry Rice.It's good Sh*t



They've open 4 more outlets in West Malaysia and two in East M'sia (Solaris Dutamas,1st Subang Mall,Penang,Village Mall sg Petani,Kedah,Sandakan and Tawau).
 I've read some reviews online (blogs) stating that the food is not really good,pricey blahblah. WHATEVER!!!

 Meanwhile in Edo Ichi (Tawau) everything is fresh,the portion is big,the taste is consistent, and it's worth the dosh.It's a cozy quite lil restaurant and it's a must try if you're in Tawau:}.

I Give My First Love to You”- Boku no Hatsukoi o Kimi ni Sasagu

Just finished watching a Japanese movie “I Give My First Love to You”- Boku no Hatsukoi o Kimi ni Sasagu. It is based on the Manga of the same name by Kotomi Aoki .I haven’t read the manga. I have not been reading manga’s lately.I've been reading the “Eat, Pray, Love”...Hilarious book..


This movie revolves around Takuma and Mayu.They were friends since 8yrs old.Takuma has a heart disease and is treated by a cardiologist which happens to be Mayu's Otosan. One day, Mayu overheard that Takuma will not live past age 20 due to his condition. Their friendship grew and love blossomed.Takuma made a promise to Mayu while playing in the fields that he'll marry her when they turn 20...

 I'm not going to spoil by giving spoilers....Make sure you have a box of tissues nearby or sleeves just in case tears and snots starts to stream down your face.It's a good movie..Thumbs Up:}.

Note: Manga and Life Action are totally different

Swaps


I’ve been watching a lot of beauty hauls and thrift store purchases on YouTube. I wish we had thrift stores in KL and I wish that things weren’t so expensive (Books,ahh alot of stuff).

 Everything seems so cheap overseas. Wish I could teleport myself,bring along an empty suitcase and fill it up with stuff..Well, I hope to do a swap with someone someday..Seems alot of FUN:}..

Things to Buy,Things to do

I made a list of “Things to buy”. I ‘m not buying everything on the list at one go or else I’ll have to sell my ass for cash..Kidding..Here's the list

Books

  • Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs: I’ve heard great reviews about this book, but it seems that MPH and Borders do not carry this book. There’s only one bookstore which sells this book, problem is I have to go all the way down to the city. Yes! Kinokuniya Bookstore in KLCC (I’ve checked their website and yes they have this book) and plenty more which I want.
Reminds me of those Memento Mori pics
  • Vampire Kisses series by Ellen Schreiber (Royal Blood,Love Bites,Cryptic Cravings & Immortal Hearts) – I have books 1-5 and it just stops right at No5.Simple enough our wonderful Bookstores don't seem to carry the continuation.
  • House of Night Series by P. C. Cast and Kristin Cast  – Book 10 Hidden– It’s getting draggy and damn why doesn’t that B*tch die.I have to wait for two more Instalments before the series ends and the waiting period for the book is long. Why do I even bother, but damn, I have till book
  •  Need series by Carrie Jones – Book 4 Endure- Evil Pixies, shape shifters, I like this series. I hope she doesn’t drag the storyline like House of Night. I hope book 5 will be the last instalment or else I would go “Why doesn’t that A$$hole die already”.

  • The Hunger Game Series by Suzanne Collins – Yes,I haven’t read it. I’m waiting for the books to end up in the remainder bookstore.
  • Daughters of Witching Hill by Mary Sharratt – Surviving the hysteria of Witch Hunting, interesting.
  • They Do Return But Gently Lead Them Back by Catherine Lim – She’s one of my fav Asian writers other than Amy Tan and a few more..
  • Any Books by Haruki Murakami – After reading Norwegian Wood, I fell in love with him.(The movie Sucked Big Time)
I guess that’s about it for now. I threw my initial what to buy items list away (Smart) and I don’t remember exactly what I scribbled . I don’t read as often like I use to. Time was precious back then now I just don’t have the mood to read. Maybe it’s the atmosphere. Back home I can sit and read all day on my fav couch, but here in Tawau, in the room, urghhh I can’t seems to focus. I feel so LAZY!!. I need to get my reading mojo back.

Anime  
1) Hiiro no Kakera
2) Shining Hearts Shiawase No Pan
3) Bleach Boxset
4) Gintama Boxset
5) Beezelbub season 2,3 .....
6) Blue Exorcist
7) K-On....(maybe)
8) Hakuōki Reimeiroku 

When it comes to anime, I’m a compulsive buyer. If it catches my eye, I’ll buy it. So far I bought 4 cheezy ones and I guess I have to live with it.Probably not going to watch it Ever Again..

Miscellaneous

  • Liquid eyeliner (Black) - I've always wanted to try,but I never got around buying at the end.
  • Daiso - I simply adore this shop. If I were to work there, that's the end of my salary.
  • Flea markets - I so want to visit the Taylor's Lakeside Flea market, Publika Flea Market and the one at Subang Parade..I cannot leave flea markets empty handed. *Orgasmic*
  • ChillaCup/Coffee Bean - Oh gawd Ice Blended Green tea,I miss you so.
I'm still a city girl after all..

A Quick Update

My hair is screaming for nourishment, so I bought a tub of hair mask.

Not bad,not bad at all. I once used the Lo'real Elseve Nutri-Gloss hair mask and it felt as though my head was dipped into oil.

I bought 3 bottles of Victoria Secret Limited Edition Body Sprays for RM 111


  1. Gilded Ginger Creme -  Rich blend of gingerbread, whipped latte and musk.
  2. Merry Vanilla Twirl -  Sweet fusion of crème brulée, vanilla and starfruit
  3. Sparkling Sugared Pear - Luscious mix of pear blossom, peach and pink sugar
Here's the website : http://usaboutique.blogspot.com/ (Mas's is her name)
So, I've heard that VS has open its door in Pavilion. RM 53 for their Body Mist, same price you get online cept some websites sell them cheaper.The only payment which cost alot is the shipping payment..

Finally

http://pinkybears.com/ for more Accessories. 16 items for RM 159.00

Isn't it Gorgeous?. Reminds me of Rolling Stones Voodoo Lounge Tour icon.

Yeap that's bout it...Cheerios

I Heart Accessories


I love accessories. I go ballistic over accessories. I’d purchase them online, get them as presents, and buy them at flea markets. They’re all statement accessories and price ranges from RM 8 to 50 (especially handmade bracelets/necklaces)
I love chunky rings, long necklaces,bangles and bracelets. I would love to wear earrings, but I’ve got fat earlobes and studs make me look weird. Late last year I did some major shopping online. I bought four  bags, four bottles of Victoria Secret’s body splash and loads of accessories before returning back to KL.

Yes,my stuff strewn all over the table.

I feel like a kid.

Two boxes of fashion accessories bubbled wrapped from A Fashion Story (This is only my 1st batch)

More Handmade Bracelets (Diary of a Miniature Enthusiast)

Alas, thou hast arrived cheezy Mags

I wanted Women's Weekly instead if Marie Claire (Least they have recipes)

Finally, I don't have to walk under the hot scorching sun for cheezy mag Cleo has finally arrived on Tawau Shelves.The only month that I'll purchase Cleo or any other fashion magazines is the month of March/April and December (Cleo's 50 most Eligible Bachelors March or April & December Bumper Issues for most fashion magazines)  but here in Tawau I need to have my cheezy mag fix cause it's boring and I need some entertainment besides the Internet,Anime and Novels.It's Tawau. You can find much more interesting things to do in a Graveyard than Tawau.

Here's how I read magazines. I basically flip through the magazine,stop,look and read if it captures my eye.I browse.The articles are basically recycled (Work,Friendship,Relationship blahlala)  Once it's done, chuck one side to be used as sanitary pad wrappers. Easy to tear and gentle to the hands. No dirty blackish ink (newspaper). Tadah !!. Fashion or whatever latest trend does not appeal to me.,but like I said it's my source of entertainment here.
Ps: WhyTF do I join those contest,spend 60-80cents on postage stamps and don't get picked .I should slap myself silly.

My preferred mags would be National Geographic,Reader's Digest,Home&Decor mags,Good Housekeeping,Crafting Magazines e.t.c you catch my drift.

Living Dead Dolls

Oh my Gawd, like how can I forget about Living Dead Dolls. The 1st time I laid my eyes on these creepy dolls was at a hobby shop. I use to collect Magic The Gathering Trading cards to be swapped amongst friends. I get my stash at a nearby mall, a proper hobby shop which sells figurines,collectible toys e.t.c.
Yep! and that is when I stumbled upon Living Dead Dolls. I did my research and back then choices were limited and the hobby store only sold a few boxes. I didn't ask for the price knowing I couldn't afford. Being a student, hence the idiom as poor as a church mouse.
  Over the years, I totally forgotten about these dolls until two days back when I was browsing on Ebay.
"Oh My Gawd", Living Dead Dolls,how could I possibly forget.Now I can purchase YOU!.I logged into their official website and wow they've got until series 12 and others including the exclusive series edition.The dolls are looking much more creepier,evil and devilish by each series. I've set my eyes on a few and hopefully I can get them locally..It will make such a lovely Christmas Gift for myself...

I WANT THIS ONE!!!!

Countess Elizabeth Bathory..She's one effing Bitch


Bloody Mary
