Le Printems

2011-11-20T06:45:00.000-08:00

It's just after I've done my DELF test few days ago, I remembered I haven't put any post about the Nikicio fashion show. It was held during my hectic week, such a breathe of fresh air I should say. I got lucky for having such chance to attend this bloody amazing fashion show. I pretty much amazed by the their collection, named 'Le Printems' which means Spring in french.

Believe me, my photos don't do any justice to her collection. I had to remind myself not to jump to the runway and bitch-fighting the model to steal the clothes. My favourites were the light grey (or white?) top in the closing walk, the one with loads of beautiful beads (see the first photo on the left) and a black coat with load of white beads (later I discovered to the webstore that those are ceramics, cute, eh?).
The show was amazeballs with no exaggeration here. It was eargasm and eyegasm at the same time. I don't know maybe because I was a fashion-show-virgin or what, but I honestly think that those songs that they pick compliment the whole event. In my sight the whole collection shows how the feminine touch works well with the masculine looks, like 'Look I'm edgy enough to steal your attention but cool enough that I don't look like I'm trying too hard'. Like yin and yang, magnificent and captivating (please don't judge me I'm not a fashion blogger or what)
I tried to look at the website for that white beaded top, but I can't find it. And until this very second I'm still bloody curious about those songs that were used in the runway. Oh, I met few buddies there, mind to say hi?

I'm still very, very, very curious about that white beaded top, it was truly a piece that worth being bitch-fighted about. Overall, I shall give 8.5 out of 10 for the whole collection (especially when the show was done and I took a close look at the pieces and I was...."okay these are really nice") Hmmmm gosh, wearing either that white top or that black coat in spring in France seems too good to be true. And speaking about France, I should get myself ready for the next test in February, still long, long, long way to go. Wish me tons of luck!
Au revoir then, beautiful people.

To you

How does it feels when someone took ur sunshine away?
No.
I mean, how you supposed to feel when your sunshine choose to leave?

But as far as I truly can feel, you are the light of my soul. So that's the only reason why I am still holding on to you.

I admit this won't be easy. You said that too.
I am weak. I am just a human who can't bear with the constantpain.
With the sudden aches.
And aches.
And more aches.
And bleed that you caused.

I am weak.
And you need to hold me tighter and catch my back.
But, if you're weak too, both of us will fall.

Because through the pain and the aches. Through the kisses and the cuddles.
Through laughs and the tears, I still find you the most beautiful.
I dont need your words to save me. I need you.

People said, when it comes to feelings, put your heart higher than your brain.
Now I understand why.
Because we don't need reasons to feel.
Because logic will save our life, but not our heart.
And half of my heart is yours, and I believe half of yours is mine.

You are my comfort zone, the person I trust my heart to.

So be strong, and help me to carry us.
Show me how much you love me.

I'll be waiting for you to come back to my arms.
Because I believe in you, and I want you to believe in me, and us.

Food Tasting Panel

2011-04-26T09:47:00.000-07:00

So recently I got my first invitation for a food tasting panel at Sushi Groove, one of Ismaya's well known project. They're planning for putting some new varies of food on their menus, so some people (including me) got this chance to tried some of their not-yet-published menus.

It's still under their consideration which varies will be published, so it could be all of them, could be some of them, it could probably need some improvements and so on.

I came first with my friend, they served us hot & cold ocha and asked us to wait for another food-tasters, but surprisingly less than 5 minutes they already served us 2 first plates of sushi (thou' another food tasters haven't come yet, nice huh?)

First came was that Saboro Chicken Roll. I ate at Sushi Groove several times before and that kinda reminded me of Mayonaise Dream Roll. The chef was standing behind us to give us some informations of the food they were serving, I asked him and it was right that they're using the same mayonaise for both menu (Mayonaise Dream & Saboro Chicken). It was just okay, and the size was on a perfect bite size.

Second came, Shibuya Roll. It was just a perfect combination of unagi (eel), salmon (if I'm not mistaken), nori, fried shrimp, some veggies, err....I forgot the rest there were just so many things stuffed into one roll. Combined with delish mayo, sadly the size was just too big for a bite size, if we try to eat it it 2 bites, the filling was falling apart. Such a shame thou' the taste was absolutely delicious.

Third came Mango Megumi. This was absolutely delish, like, I didn't expect the taste would be that lovely. They put the mango just in the right measurement. And plus, I'm a big fan of tobiko (fish's eggs) and those plates really spoiled my tastebuds to the core. Anyway this Mango Megumi came with a black tobiko I don't know what it's called but those are my favourites! This roll also gave us a small surprise in the end, a soft squared cheese, yum! This was me and my friend's fave that night.

Later then came another food tasters, so there were 4 of us. Not long after that another food tasters came and the chef and crews served them the same varies we got. Another plates kept coming and coming and coming.

I didn't take all photos of the new menus, only the ones that I ate, sorry. So here we got Pirates Roll, a fusion sushi with smoked beef on the top, spicy and tastes just okay for my liking. Below, it's Aligator Roll, yay! I'm a sucker for avocado and they put loads of avocado in tiny slices on the top of it resembling a shape of a crododile. It was delish and came in a perfect bite size too!

I was full, like, really full but the plates keep coming and if I wasn't mistaken there were more than 12 variations of new menus, Angry Birds Roll, Black Pearl Roll, a vegetarian sushi which I forget the name, et cetera. They were very generous even asked us whether we wanted more plates of not. I didn't take all of the photos but you can drop by at JenzCorner to see more photos :)

The last roll I ate was Salmon Mentai. I was curious since it served a little bit different than the usual Salmon Mentai I ate in another Japanese restaurants. It has some filling in the middle of it's roll, but it taste really good thou'.

Overall, most of the menus were bloody-lickin-good and really really really delicious. Hoping to see them published in Sushi Groove's latest menu (probably) in mid of May. Thankyou for the opportunity, Sushi Groove :)

Man : 5 weeks and not a word?
Woman : *giggles* I had no idea you're so curious
Man : But I sold your cat
Woman : *laughs* That cat was never mine, and I was never yours *leave*

Note: These are the literal English translation

Love is a rebellious bird
That nothing can tame,
And it's quite in vain to call it,
If it's convenient for it to refuse.

Threat and prayer do nothing.
One speaks well, the other silences,
And it's the other that I prefer,
It's said nothing, but I like it

Here's another hello.

Don't mind my brother behind me, he won't do you any harm.
Anyway, since this very second, I am going to write down things just like I used to do. Almost half year of no update, I guess, I'm going to start all over again.
So, yeah, hello
:)
