Forest girls

Today's news reported that there is a new fad in japan known as the 'forest girls'. Such girls are natural as they do not chase after branded goods but prefer small shops, they enjoyed an afternoon reading away in the cafe and they like to go on walks with a camera to take pictures of nice stuff. I couldnt help but think, hey... those kinda sound like me. lol. guess wat peepz, im part of a new fashion culture! In fact, I can be considered a pioneer as i have been reading afternoons away since sec sch. :P hahaha....

The weird thing is how did this turn into a special fad in japan that is gaining so such popularity that shops come up with 'forest girls' fashion and merchandise? I mean, doesnt that go against the whole "natural" factor of the forest girls? I mean watever happened to not buying branded goods and visiting small shops?

Back to the grindstone

Seeing students again after a one week break for them. me got no break. i wonder if they studied, though i guess not much bah... Dread seeing them tmr. cas SA2 just ard the corner.

I fell in love with a very cute set of books. A collection of mini stories. its called 60 篇感人小故事。So each book has 60 little stories. I bought 1, think its very nice, so bought 2 more, then today i went and bought 3 more. :) the 3 today is actually a gift from my bf, so sweet of him. he especially likes the 我要成功 book. The 1st book that got me so enchanted is called 穿越爱的迷途. The other books are called 宽容是这般灿烂,矛盾中的幽默,聪明就在这里,在你心里挂星星。Am I the only one who thinks that even the titles are super attractive already? hehe....

hmm..... when i have more time, i shall typed out one of the stories for a sharing... but for those who cant wait, you can find the books at 商务印书馆。The publisher is 万里机构。
