Doraemon: Nobita's New Great Adventure into the Underworld - The Seven Magic Users is a remake of the year 1984 Doraemon movie, Doraemon: Nobita's Great Adventure into the Underworld. The trailer for this year 1984 edition can be found here. There are no subtitles in this trailer as well. The poster for the movie Doraemon: Nobita's Great Adventure into the Underworld is as below.


By comparing the movie posters and the trailers. I am sure that you would have noticed the differences by now. The year 2007 edition features better graphic and sound. The colour for the year 2007 edition is also more vibrant. Which one do you prefer more? =D

Although Doraemon: Nobita's New Great Adventure into the Underworld - The Seven Magic Users is said to be a remake of the Doraemon: Nobita's Great Adventure into the Underworld, the storyline for the year 2007 edition is slightly tweaked and some addition of new characters so that when we are watching it, we will be familiar with the characters but we wouldn't know exactly what will happen next. That is indeed a refreshing change and one wouldn't be bored from watching the remake even though he/she had watched the year 1984 edition before.

I owned both movies and if you ask me which one I prefer more, I shall say the year 2007 edition is the one that I love. The storyline is tweaked so that it's more touching and of course, not to forget the lovely graphics and audio quality! ^0^

Remember to watch it on that day!

Once Again...A Brand New Year...Random Thoughts and Blurbs

Tuesday, January 6, 2009. The sixth day of a brand new year. It's supposed to be a school day and yet I am not in school. It feels kind of weird, watching everyone wearing school uniform, coming back and going to school. Yet, I am not a part of it. I guessed that I am still not used to the fact that I am going on to another stage of my life.

I will be changing my hairstyle again. Between 19 January 2009, Monday, to 23 January 2009, Friday, I will be going to the salon on one of the days with my mother for a new haircut and rebond my fringe at the same time. I have decided to grow out my straight blunt fringe for now so that the hairstylist will have more options to choose from when I request for a new hairstyle. If you are wondering what hairstyle I wished to change to, to tell you the truth, I have no idea. I had been looking through my magazines, studying at the different hair lengths and styles, short, medium and long. The hairstyles do fascinate me but I am not really sure what I want. One thing that I am worried of is that the hairstyle might not be suitable for Lolita. >.<

Sometimes I felt like just go for it and cut off my long hair for a medium length or even (GASP!) short hair. The other times, I felt like going for a more punk or rock hairstyle. However, I don't have that courage. LOL!

Even though I don't know the exact hairstyle I want, I had decided on several points to guide the hairstylist to the hairstyle that I will not only like, but love and adore. ^0^

1) Versatile-No matter if it's funky, edgy hairstyle or a sweeter, more demure hairstyle, I am able to achieve it with the hairstyle!
2) Easy to care for-There are some down days and that's when I want to spend less time on my hair and more time on me. I want the hairstyle to look decent or if possible, good even when I am not doing a lot to my hair. Such as just only require some combing. No flat, drably hair please.
3) Suit me-Suit my face type, body shape etc.
4) Unique-More of a special hairstyle that can't be seen everywhere. I love individuality.

I think that's all I can think of now. I will add on when I thought of something new.

Only 19 days to Chinese New Year and 18 days to Chinese New Year Eve! I can't wait for the reunion dinner where lots of delicious food are served! Have you guys bought your new clothes yet? I will be wearing what I had worn to Graduation High Tea to Chinese New Year except that I will replace the knee high socks with the stocking that I had just bought from a Pasar Malam. As for shoes, I am not sure if I should wear my White Lolita Wedge or the BlackxWhite Ballet Flats as seen below.



The White Lolita Wedge cost me $169 while the BlackxWhite Ballet Flats cost me $17.42. I love the White Lolita Wedge as it gives me the added height of 9.5cm and it's really pretty pair of shoe. However, wearing that pair of shoe for prolong time gives me painful feet and I am still not used to wearing such shoes which means awkward walking. I can't even walk well up and down the stairs! I had bought a pair of Insolia inserts but I haven't put them to test yet. Hopefully, it is able to give me added comfort and better balance on that pair of shoes! I must admit that while wearing that pair of BlackxWhite Ballet Flats for a prolong period will give me a slight bruising on the thumb of my feet, it is nothing as compared to the painful feet that the White Lolita Wedge gives me. Another thing I have to consider is that when we go visiting on Chinese New Year, there will be a lot of people going in and out of the house and that means a high chance of people trampling on my pair of shoes. Compared to getting my $169 White Lolita Wedge getting dirty, I would rather let my $17.42 suffer the cruel trampling feet of my relatives. One of the reason that is stopping me from wearing my BlackxWhite Ballet Flats on Chinese New Year itself is that I had worn it to a recent wedding. However, I suppose that the problem can be solved by putting on the white bow shoe clip that I had bought to the flats.

Since Chinese New Year is fast approaching, it's time to take out my pair of White Lolita Wedge and start practicing my walk! I still have 19 days left so who knows! Maybe on that day I might be even able to run on that pair of shoes! O.o

It's January and I ashamed to say that I have not started on finishing clearing the table, cleaning the shelf, bookcase, IKEA cupboard and VCDs/DVDs cupboard! So many things to do and I am just plain lazy to get started! ARGH! Where's my motivation! Come to me!!!!!! I have to! Have to finish it all before school starts! Otherwise goodness know when I am going to start on it when school starts! Maybe I might keep putting it off till many many years later!

Even with so many undone things on my list, I am thinking of adding another item to it. That's get started on sewing. Especially felt food! They are so delectable and delicious looking! Don't believe me? Look at the videos below!

Strawberry-You can download the tutorial here.


"Felt Cuisine - Sushi by Design" by Hiromi Hughes


"Felt Cuisine - A Taste of Italy"


The "Felt Cuisine" Series - Release 1-3 by Hiromi Hughes


I love the free strawberry tutorial by Hiromi Hughes as the instructions are really clear and easy to understand even for a beginner like me. Too bad all the Felt Cuisine books are ebooks and paid by credit card (I don't have one) or I might buy it. Maybe I shall take a look at Kinokuniya, Borders and Popular? Maybe I will try sewing the strawberries. =D

Does anyone know where I can get felt, stuffing and other sewing materials at a cheap price?

I know there's Spotlight at Plaza Singapura but it's items are seriously expensive. T.T Otherwise I will go there since it's a one stop shop and I can save time and money on going to different shops just to get the items I want.

Gosh. What a long post. I was thinking of adding my new year resolutions to it but I guess that I will save it for another time!
