FINALLY! THE LIFE I WANT!!! (Except for the part where I have to sit with a boy and is seperated far from my friends)

I can't believe it!!! After 4 and a half years, I finally can be a discipline monitor!!! Well, I feel so weird wearing that sash... And today when me and Yuan Ying went to the library, did you know what book I saw? Twice Upon A Time which I wanted to borrow before the June Holidays but Delphine borrowed it instead(I did not say anything insulting. If you think I did, I have no idea how to write this)!!! OMG!!! The worst thing that can happen to me is that I'M SITTING WITH RUSSEL LEONG!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! HE'S SO ANNOYING!!!! Delphine's just like me, sitting with Cavan. Yuan Ying's the best among the 4 of us (Me, Delphine,Genevieve and her). She sits with a boy who doesn't care about her and she doesn't care about him! For me, Delphine and Genevieve, we feel so... You know... More unluckier than Yuan Ying? Anyway, Genevieve sits with Yu Xuan, poor thing... Anyway, here's a collection of Twice Upon A Time stories. Enjoy!

Two days of Bad luck in a row

I can't believe it. Remember the last time I said that Friday is my doom day? Turns out that Saturday is my doom day too! You know what's all this bad luck about? YOGA!!! I'm really starting to hate it, I just like to see people bend their own bodies into half. LOL. Anyway, in there are really,really bad luck. I think I need to meditation and pray today...

Friday:

• My back hurts like crazy.
• I was totally blocked by this fat woman during yoga class, she didn't even move!
• My mom talks more to my friend, Flora, than me.

Saturday:

• My back still hurts.
• My stomach felt bad during yoga class.
• By the end of the class, the bad feeling in my stomach turns out to be a stomachache.
• I desperately need to go but my mom said that I'm just using it as an excuse.
• My mom got angry and finally let me go. She didn't want to talk to me.
• I felt like crying.

Can you now tell why I hate yoga? That's because I was forced into it! I just play yoga to be healthy! Not practice for the competition or show-off! Why can't she understand? (Starting to cry)

Poor Michael Jackson

Did you read Yuan Ying's blog? The post that she wrote about Michael Jackson's death? Poor thing. Go read now if you haven't! It's http://www.secretsforsecrets.blogspot.com/ . I used to hate Michael Jackson. He's gay! OMG!!! His sense of fashion is poor! He owns a lot of debts! OMG!!! I can't believe some people fainted when they saw him at his concert! He freaks me out! Let's see his previous look without plastic surgery and the now. He went for more than 50 plastic surgeries! OMG!!!

Must Watch! S.H.E The Movie! Longest Movie I have ever made!

I soooo want this song called '美丽的世界'. It's really nice! Thin Zar Oo has the CD. I borrowed it before... I made a movie all about S.H.E. I made it out of the song 'Super Models'. It's really cool! It's the longest movie I have ever made! MUST WATCH! Tickets on sale at only $0!

5C rocks

OMG!!!! 5C is the best class of all the P5 classes!!! Yeah!!! I just chatted at lead.com and I felt kinda bored... I can't believe Mrs Lee lost her neighbour's cat while babysitting it! Oh my gosh!! I can't believe Yuan Ying's hamster has a open wound! OMG!!! LOL. I have to finish 20 examination papers within 3 days!!! AAAAAAAA!!! I can't believe Gin Ni said that she loves Eliza... It's kinda... You know... Oh,I'm sure you'll get it. I still can't wait to have my own room! Well, not exactly my own... My mom and my cousin will be sleeping in it too... But at least I don't have to sleep with my dad! I can now sleep in peace! Yeah! I'm sooo happy! I can't wait to have my own privacy without my dad! Yeah!! My yoga coach(Eleanor) is still thinking of moving into my house... OMG!!! My back hurts like crazy... Yesterday, my coach trained me on my arm-strength, which I suck at it(I can only do 5 pull-ups!). It was hard,REALLY HARD work!

I hate Myanmar

I can't believe almost all of my family members are born in Myanmar!!! And I can't believe I'm the only one born in Singapore!!! Arg!!! Burmese people are quite showy. And you cannot believe what is like to stay in Burma for just a week! There is totally no electricity at all, sometimes no water, lots of mosquitos, and the environment is horrible! You cannot imagine it! It's like going there to suffer! And I can't believe that my mother's friend, said that HER instructor won the International Yoga Championships 1st place! He's my teammate! Not HER instructor! She's also burmese and is a total show-off! And she said I cannot participate the competition that's because I'm not good enough! URG!!!! Here is a picture of her and my teammate,Dev Kapil.

Yoga Teachers have facebooks too?!

Image via CrunchBase

Gosh, I was visiting the yogacup.com website when I noticed a facebook icon at the side. I clicked on it, and saw one of my yoga teachers name there! So I click on it, and added him as friend. I tried searching for other teachers, even they have facebook too! Gosh, is facebook that popular? So I added them. Well Yuan Ying, you should join facebook too. I wonder whether Bikram Choudhury has one...

Attention, people!

I made an early decision, wayyyyy toooo early.... I decided not to celebrate my birthday from this year onwards just like my brother and sister. I have now grown up and is too childish for birthday parties. My mom said that if I am still thinking of have birthday parties, I am not yet mature. I guess she's right. What's the point of celebrating our birthday? We just age by 1 year and what's there for to celebrate? You people out there tell me, have you ever celebrated your parents' birthday? If you said that you wanted to, but your parents didn't want to, it tells that they are too old for birthday parties! Those people who agree with me, are matured.

Am I flexible?

My photos are out! I...AAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! Only 5 photos?!(Screamed so loud that the glass broke). AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! :'(

Yuan Ying in the house

Yuan Ying's here, again! LOL. We traded Sims 2 Expansion Packs and played sims. The funniest thing that happened was when Yuan Ying ate a wasabi pea as she didn't know what it is(Kids, learn this: DO NOT EAT WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW). So her mouth was wide open and was gasping for water. Haha. We made our very own beach house in the Sims 2! We were so blur on how to make one until Yuan Ying read the instruction manual and I just found out how. LOL. The house which we made was AWESOME!!! You need to see it! Now, how do I record a video and save it in my computer?

How did they do that?

Can you tell how on earth did they do that? Wow!

The Anatomy of a Lolita Outfit

Starting from head to toe for the most part. A lot of this advice does not apply to aristo or boystyle though I may add some stuff later, and often punk has a lot of exceptions. I apologize that most of the pictures are of sweet lolita BTSSB, but they have the most variety on their site. Click on the little pink hearts in the descriptions for examples.

♥Hair accessories♥

There are many different types of hair accessories to help pull your outfit together. The most obvious is the headdress ♥, which is either a round or rectangular piece that is decorated with lace and bows that ties around your head with a ribbon. This is worn best with bangs but beware that no matter what hairstyle you have it can easily look like a maid's. A less maidish and more casual but still very lolita hair accessory is the hair bow ♥, which can attach either by clips, a hair comb, or a headband (such as Alice bows ♥). If you don't want such a large bow you can also opt for mini bow-clips ♥. Old-fashioned hats and minihats are also common styles but are harder to make at home. Tophats and mini-tophats are often found with punk and boystyle, but some of the more feminine hats ♥ are suitable for any style. Mini-crowns ♥ and tiaras ♥ are a must for himeloli and can also look very good with punk styles. Mini-straw hats ♥ go perfectly with country style and are usually decorated with ribbons as well as small fruits such as cherries or strawberries. Possibly the hardest hair accessory to pull off is the bonnet ♥ which can easily look too childish. Look for a bonnet without an overly wide or floppy brim and never tuck your hair fully underneath. Some less common but still elegant hair accessories include berets ♥, caps ♥, rose clips ♥, hairbands ♥, and cute earmuffs.

♥Jewlery and other accessories♥

Lolita jewelry is hard to define because almost anything can coordinate with a lolita outfit - especially oldfashioned jewelry or jewelry with loli motifs. Lockets, cameos, pearls ♥, and loli-esque charms ♥ (keys, bows, hearts, cakes) fit very well. Chokers ♥ are good for gothic, punk, and ero-loli styles. Ties ♥ can fit with almost any style, but not just any old tie will do. Lolita ties tend to be shorter and fatter, often coordinating with a skirt and decorated with lace or even appliques. Neck corsets are fit with these styles, but these can look awkward if they are too big or your neck isn't long enough. You can also have matching wrist corsets or the more lolita wrists cuffs ♥ - which are like stocking toppers but are worn on your wrist. Gloves can be worn as well, but make sure they suit the outfit. Long gloves ♥ tend to fit best with aristo or classical styles, while short gloves ♥ are sweeter in nature and suit himeloli especially well. The key to coordinating these accessories is to keep them elegant, feminine, and not-cheap-looking.
Some more seasonal accessories are scarves ♥, mittens ♥, and muffs. Scarves, mittens, and muffs should be cute, elegant, and coordinate well with your outfit both otherwise nothing short of bunny scarves are very lolita-specific. Look for ones that match well with your winter coat.

♥Outerwear♥

Lolita jackets can be divided into two major classes by weight. Light jackets ♥ are worn to coordinate with a skirt and can be worn during any season so long as you don't feel too warm. They are similar to suit jackets but they have more feminine collars and rounded edges. Some even have puffed sleeves, but the key is the softer shape and the frilly trim.

Heavier coats ♥ are for winter (obviously). Like old-fashioned coats, they are designed to fit voluminous skirts underneath, so they flare a bit at the bottom making them look a bit like dresses themselves. They are much longer and more fitted than a lot of modern coats (no short puffy jackets). A number of these coats also have attached capelets (as seen in the example), which can either be made out of the same wool as the coat or be lined with fur. You can sometimes remove the fur collars from coats if you want a less fluffy look. Some coats also have hoods, and some come with cute animal ears - especially bears and bunnies. These can be very expensive so find one that goes with everything.

Capelets ♥ are essenitally small, elegant capes. Those that are are made of cotton and only cover your shoulders aren't very good for keeping you warm, but they are still somewhat seasonal because they should be worn over a long sleeved blouse. Capelets like this aren't really meant to be functional and simply coordinate with your skirt or dress. Longer capelets ♥ (which could probably be called capes at this point) made of wool or velvet are better for keeping warm in the winter months and look especially cute with muffs. Winter capelets can come with hoods much like those of the lolita coats.

Boleros ♥ are the cute little shrug-like sweaters that tie in the front that brands like BTSSB put out. Often they are knitted, but they can be made of any fabric. But they always look very delicate with little ruffles or puffed sleeves - they don't keep you very warm but they can keep out a Spring chill.

Cardigans ♥ are a little more casual but they are good for keeping you warm in only slightly chilly weather and for coordinating with your skirt. A lot of cute cardigans will go with your lolita clothes, but those that are strictly lolita have a very feminine cut that's not too fitten and are typically trimmed with ruffles or a bow. Some may have a lolita print or applique such as a crown.

♥Blouses♥

When looking for a lolita blouse look for something very feminine and a bit old-fashioned. It's not just lace and ruffles that make a blouse lolita - it's also the shape. Pointed collars can work, but a rounded ♥ or high collar ♥ are more fitting. The same applies to sleeves - straight sleeves can work, but puffed sleeves or sleeves that are gathered at the end are preferable. It should be tailored for the female shape but not overly tight. The fabric should be crisp (not the wrinkly stuff) and should never be see-though. Overall it should look a bit formal and elegant while still being very soft and girley. Avoid more typically masculine features like hardware (buckles, etc.) and large pockets.

♥Cutsews♥

Cutsews are perfect ♥ for a more casual loli style (though many cutsews can be worn even for formal lolita style). What makes something a cutsew is they are typically make out of knit fabrics so they can simply be cut and sewn, without all the tailoring needed for blouses or other cotton clothing. They aren't simply t-shirts (though a few of the brands have put out very loli baby tee with cute prints), they are trimmed just like a blouse or a cardigan ♥ with ruffles, lace, or puffed sleeves. They can have collars or have a tshirt-like neckline, occasionally trimmed with criss-criss straps that tie around your neck. They are a more comfy alternative to blouses or heavy jackets.

♥Bags and parasols♥

Bags ♥ and Purses ♥ are one of the last things people think about when coordinating a lolita outfit, but they really do bring an outfit together. There's tons of purses out there that perfectly match a single outfit down the the lace, bows, and the little bunny applique, but all that really required is something pretty and elegant that goes with your general color scheme. Lolita purses are very adorable, sometimes they are shaped like hearts or outer lolita motifs, other times they are shaped like everyday purses but trimmed with bows and lace. They are made of good material, they aren't floppy and they shouldn't show signs of wear. Bags or totes are typically bigger and floppier, but they are still cute and elegant - they are made of nice fabrics, sometimes patterned, and will often have a lolita print on them such as a scene from Alice in Wonderland.

Parasols ♥ can easily be distinguished as very lolita by their frills and old-fashioned appearance. They are not simply umbrellas with lace sewn on - they are far more delicate and usually more attractive. Children's umbrellas can sometimes work but look for one with a curved or otherwise elegant handle that extends rather than pops out (umbrellas that fold back in on themselves don't usually work). Asian style parasols are typically only suitable for waloli and should not be used with other styles.

♥Skirts♥

Skirts ♥ are the cornerstone of lolita clothing. Their bellshape provides the typical lolita silhouette, and their length (for anything but ero) is typically around 2 inches above the knee. They should sit at your natual waist (not where you wear your low-rise jeans but right around your belly-button). Trimmed with the typical lolita arsenal - lace, ruffles, ribbons, bows, appliques - it's not hard to figure out what skirts are lolita and which aren't. Note: not all lolita skirts are bellshaped but those are hard to pull of right so beginners should stick with this general rule. Some skirts are tiered ♥, some have scalloped edges ♥, and some have cutouts to display an underskirt - there are too many possibilities for skirts, one-pieces, and jsks so I'm just going to provide some examples rather than trying to explain.

♥One-pieces♥

One-pieces ♥ are dresses that can be worn by themselves or sometimes with a blouse underneath. The bodices have a lot in common with cutsews - they can have puffed sleeves or cross-ties or lace trim. The skirts resemble typical lolita skirts, though they may be elongated if the dress has an empire-waist. Again, too many possibilities.

♥Jumperskirts♥

Like one-pieces but without the sleeves, jumperskirts ♥ are made to be worn over a blouse but can be worn on their own in warm enough weather.

♥Waloli and Qiloli♥

Waloli outfits ♥ are inspired by Japanese clothing. They aren't simply kimonos that are cut off with a poofy skirt underneath - care is taken to trim the kimono like any other lolita piece or the obi might be made into a cute bow. Sometimes all that is need to make something waloli is a Japanese print fabric on a dress. Qilolita ♥, inspired by Chinese clothing, is equally more elegant than just a qipao over a flooofy skirt. First of all, the skirt needs to match the print of the fabric, second the shirt or dress must be cut appropriately to accommodate a large skirt underneath. These are not very common styles and they are often done wrong, so it may be better to find your footing in the usual lolita styles before attempting waloli or qiloli.

♥Aprons♥

Aprons aren't just for Alice in Wonderland costumes or french maids anymore, but they still have a bit of a custumey feel so only wear during appropriate situations (such as while cooking) or if you feel confident you can pull it off without it looking like a costume. There are two main types of lolita aprons, those that cover your entire front ♥ and those that only cover the skirt ♥. The full aprons can sometimes have shapes at the bodice such as hearts ♥, bunnies, or gloomy bears, and both they and the short aprons are trimmed like any other lolita pieces.

♥Underthings♥

What gives the lolita skirt it's telltale poof is typically a petticoat ♥, a bell-shaped but lightweight fluffy skirt-like garment you can wear under any skirt or dress. Do not use a square dance petticoat. Go for a high-quality pettiocat with enough fluff that won't show through your skirt. Short bloomers ♥ can help give a skirt some poof and are also good if you plan to run around in your lolita clothes so people won't be getting any panty shots.

A bloomers FAQ by Ugly_kitties

I don't want to spend too much time on corsets, but I do want to say please be careful. If you want to wear them under clothing, that's fine, just don't lace them too tight. I know they cinch your waist but all that extra weight has to go somewhere and it's usually shoved upwards, making your look like a linebacker. Little girls don't have extreme hourglass shapes, so save the tight-lacing for aristo styles, and go for a more comfortable shape with lolita. If you want to wear corsets on top of your clothes, that can be fine as well, so long as it coordinates with your outfit (please don't wear a black vinyl corset with a pink outfit) and doesn't push the fabric or your body around into weird shapes. Also, a note for underbust corsets - wear a good bra, a, avalanche of boobs flopping over your corset is so not lolita.

Lolita stockings aren't exactly underthings, but they're going in this category any way. Stockings should be *knee-highs* or full on tights unless you're going for ero loli. Thigh-high stockings won't fit under a knee-length skirt (unless you're trying to give the appearance that they're full tights which is fine) and short little socks look like sissy style (something you probably don't want to be associated with). With that said, stockings can be worn two different ways. One is simple the stockings themselves ♥ - these stockings generally have cute patterns or decorations (such as ribbons lacing up them) that make them lolita on their own. Sometimes you can find striped stockings - not the gaudy goth-style of hot topic stockings, but knee-high ones made with knit material that are elegant in their own way. These look best when worn in pastel shades ♥ rather than black and white. But often they are worn with stocking toppers ♥ - just a bit of lace and ribbon that goes at the top of the stocking to match the frill of the rest of your outfit. Sometimes they are attached to the stockings but they can come separately with elastic inside so they can be worn over any stocking.

♥Shoes♥

The basic lolita shoe is the mary jane ♥. These can be trickier to find for adults but look for one in which the strap goes over the top of your foot nearer to you shin than to your toes. Flat, platformed, and high heeled mary janes are all good choices, but avoid mary jane-esque shoes excessively high heels and a strap around the ankle (commonly referred to as stripper or drag queen heels). Ballerina flats ♥ (like mary janes but without the strap) tend to look slightly less youthful and coordinate better if decorated with bows or lacing. Another common lolita shoes is the rockinghorse shoe ♥, originally designed by Vivienne Westwood but now you can find several brands that carry then (see "where to buy - shoes"). Boots ♥ are sometimes harder to fit into lolita style (with the exception of punk), but several of the major brands have come out with very cute boots. It is also possible to work in cute sandals ♥ with your summer lolita attire. Traditional Japanese wooden shoes or Chinese slipper shoes work for waloli or qiloli, respectively. For punk lolita there are a lot more options (including clunky boots and even converse) as long as the rest of your outfit is very lolita.
