I've said time and time again about how much I enjoy theme parties, fancy dress parties or costume parties of any sort.

The thrill lies in going to a party as someone/something else, you bet!

To date, I've rocked up according to lots of themes; often as an individual, but not this time round.

So… prepare for trouble!

And this time, make it double! 😉

Childhood friends of mine would know how much of a Pokemon aficionado I was – or, am still, to be exact. Heck, remember when I was zealously addicted to the newly launched Pokemon Black on Nintendo DS written in this post?

I used to know  all (then) 151 Pokemon names by heart and all the soundtracks too.

So… who am I? 🙂

Does it ring a bell yet?

Okay, guessing game's over!

Thankfully, my fellow Pokemon fan and partner-in-crime, Kon and I decided to go as this dynamic duo.

Watch out Fancy Dress Party, here we come!

Make way for….

JESSIE AND JAMES OF THE INFAMOUS TEAM ROCKET!

If you've been living under a rock or had a deprived childhood of not knowing who they are, allow us to introduce ourselves in this video –

I've always loved villains of any movie, of any kind. Maybe cos I'm morbid like that.

And so, I dolled up on the night of the Fancy Dress party to look the best I can to be one-half of this wicked duo while my partner James was also getting ready 3 doors down the road.

Hmmm… not too bad replica, right? 😛

She's my hero!

It was a very, very spontaneous idea, in fact.

Kon and I were just talking about the upcoming Fancy Dress Party over Facebook chat one night and randomly dished out ideas of what would be nice to go as. And suddenly, we conjured the idea of going together as the dynamic duo we are.

Going as individuals are a very common thing, everyone would go as individuals.

So what will really make one stand out from the crowd?

Two heads are always better than one, and packs a bigger punch too!

What could be better than Team Rocket?

To protect the world from devastation

To unite all peoples within our nation

To denounce the evils of truth and love

To extend our reach to the stars above

Jessie!

James!

Team Rocket blast off at the speed of light

Surrender now, or prepare to fight!

Oh and here's a trivia if you didn't already know, Jessie and James of Team Rocket are not a couple nor a romantic pair!

They're partners, or in other words, a duo. (I used to think they were siblings when I was 10 years old!)

But a very adorable duo if I do say so myself! 😀

That's why I love them so much, and they're kick ass too!

Wicked, ey?

This post is dedicated to my absolute love for Team Rocket and commemorating the awesomeness of this tag-team!

But what's coming up next will be…

The entire Fancy Dress party! Lotsa pics with my buddies all dressed up as insane characters too!

Oh and, it was fun when we browsed online for the costumes and surveyed the prices $$$

If any cosplayers are interested, E-bay and Milanoo has custom-made gears you can look out for. 

It takes up to 3 weeks to reach you, so ya ought to plan in advance!

This is Team Rocket, signing off!

When I almost succumbed to Murphy’s Law which states that anything that can go wrong will go wrong, there was a glimmer of hope in my optimism.

Hurrah for that! =)

Instead of moping around and dwelling in remorse, it’s best to straighten things up. And I’m glad I did.

Putting 101% in my Desperate Housewives presentation was worth it, as it turned out just the way I wanted it to be. During the feedback session, Mr. Irwan said we had that 20/20 but due to our not being able to answer ONE question during the Q&A session, we didn’t obtain that perfect score I always aim for. Oh well, no biggie. I’m still as pleased. Yayss for us Daniel!! =)

Here’s to great partnership and more to come! Ya’ know, certain people can work well with one another without any particular reason. And neither of them have to be the ultimate student/employee of all time to be able to. It’s just, the pieces fit very well – like a balance of Yin & Yang. And in each partnership (twice so far), we have established that. He gets me all the time and so do I.

Compromise and co-operation at its finest.
*cheers Daniel*

An additional information I found out is the existence of the genre and Japanese sub-culture Visual Kei. A classmate of mine had presented regarding that topic and I was rather horrified about that genre’s characteristics. His presentation had enticed me to do my own research on that genre, as I realized that their disasterous sense of fashion has somewhat originated from that sub-culture in Japan.
Remember my rants on LaLaism a few entries back? Hmm… I think I know see the connection. Oh wait, lemme rephrase that.

After slight research, i discovered that Visual Kei is a blend of rock and hip-hop. Personally, these two ARE NEVER to be mixed! It’s like mixing a boxer with a ballerina… and what would you get? Boxerina?

Somehow, people get it all wrong and recreated the culture as their own. It now becomes an excuse for their faux pas in heinous fashion crimes. The ‘lala’ dressings that we are often so repulsed by, now has an explanation! It’s actually called a ‘Lolita style, Harajuku and Ganguro style’ in Japanese.

They wear pastel and glittery eye makeup, tiny metallic or glittery adhesives below the eyes, flamboyant and brightly-colored clothing, layer-cake skirts, lace, leggings and incongruous accessories to achieve that look. Lala. Oh the painnnn….

In other words, FASHION DISASTERS!!!!
This could possibly make the fashion police hot on their heels.
Exhibit A in my previous post – herehere

I see it all over Penang now. Oh no!! Has ze lala came to dominate us all??

The trend of taking pictures in those annoyingly coloured photo sticker booths (known as Purikura booths in Japan) to stick all over their cellphones and wallets. -_-“
Let alone that ‘cutesy-cute-cute’ expression they pull and their misuse of the ‘peace sign’ positioned beside their cheek.. it made me already feel the bile at the end of my tongue.

Alright enough dissing.

*groan*
Seriously enough dissing.
Gotta go hit the sack now, my hike’s at 8am tomorrow!

i don’t know whether to be so furious and slaughter him alive or should I be so stoked and hug him tight.

Sleeping at an unearthly hour last night after finishing my Desperate Housewives assignment, made me real brain dead. And well, Dubby rang the doorbell at 8a.m without prior notice to come and drop by.

“Surprise!”, he said.

Anyway.

I was 100% pissed for about 3seconds, but my frown was soon upturned. It was indeed a pleasant surprise =) thanks love.

I know I’ve been missing in action for quite some time. All driven by stress though, piles and piles of shytload to do. So here,

yet another one of the deviant conformists *biggrin*
Hmm.. where should I start?

‘Nuff said.

Well, I do have a couple of previous posts which explains it – here

Will they EVER learn……………. perhaps not, Just like how we will never learn to dress like them. (ps – Franz, I know you share my pain) =P

Oh and randomly, saw this a couple o’ days back

Pretty cool, no? I could just never tell the authenticity

Among one of the food which I love (and a whole lot of my friends too) are pancakes. But what if some people can’t afford Paddington’s all the time? Here’s an alternative: AKI PANCAKE

Tastes really good, with a whole lot of selections and fillings to choose from too!

It used to be just him and his wife, but after business seriously grew more and more hectic, he hired 3 foreign workers from Myanmar to be his waiter and to assist in pancake productions.

And the couple has a whole lot of tattoos emblazoned all over their body

Their humble lil place is located in Super Tanker coffee shop, Lip Sin Garden.
Enjoy! It’s really good

Such monstrosity…. why do people get dressed in the dark??

The more I keep seeing this nonsensical dressings, the more I get agitated. Please, stay away from me! Stay inside your little lalaland and under the mushrooms.

Sandals with socks??? Are you fucking kidding me?

Your top is bright yellow screaming for unnecessary attention with your stockings jet black, completed with white shoes??? You even have a yellow sparkling sequinned hairband. What else can we say?

What do we have here now, little blue skipping hood?? Woman, you remind me of a kid, but I just noticed you already have a kid for goodness sake. Dress like an adult please. Your god-knows-what blue thing is puffy at the arse and makes your derriere resemble a curry puff!! The lacy leggings doesn’t help either.

And that’s not all, in my previous post here, I too, have highlighted my cries

In direct contrast with my previous post – I don’t feel whack and fun, I feel disgusted and critical.

ignore me at the moment.

 Wow. I won’t say who and I won’t say where but this chick has really got to.. ummm… you decide. Most of us feel that she has a wardrobe malfunction
 It’s self explanatory, is it not?
The equation:
Tight leggings + Denim miniskirt + pregnant-ish pink lacy top + black Mickey Mouse tee = fashion disaster!

My reaction to the whole situation.
WTF
