Liz Liz Lisa

Whenever I read a Japanese fashion magazine, the same thought never fails to appear in my mind - "I want something from Liz Lisa!!!" So, when there's finally a chance to win a Liz Lisa knitted bow hat, I have to take part in it even if I have a wardrobe breakdown or malfunction.

Yup, you read it right. Hermes of An addiction to cuteness is having a 100+ followers giveaway!

All you have to do is coordinate an outfit that you think would match this knitted beanie, brown or white, which do u like? Easy easy!

As for me, I would replace this black beret with the white knitted beanie

Long knitted ribbon top, a dark blue or black wife beaters inside, black hand bag, black boots and maybe black leggings..Depending on the weather, occasion and where am I heading to.

Thats not all~

As there are some gold details on my black bag, I would accesorize it with a black rose ring, gold crown ring and a not so gold long necklace.

Heee,something simple from me =) So what are u waiting for, click on HERE for more information about the giveaway!

When I first saw the BlackBerry® Storm™ 9520, the first thing that came to my mind was "I want that berry!" The reason for the sudden impulsion is very simple. Just because it has a good name.



Whether its pets or non living things, I believe that naming is very important. I once name a stray cat Tatsumaki (Tornado) and it grew up to be one strong cat. And the other cat with a sissy name ended up as timid as a mouse. I bet the mouse freeloading in the food court nearby is even stronger than it.

"Storm will definitely help me to brainstorm" that was the 2nd thing that came to my mind. Most of my blog entries here actually the rainbow after brain'storming'.

I always have random Eureka moments BUT all the time, only 3 rainbow stripes are formed. The other 4 depends on lots of brainstorming.


Furthermore, I have really bad memory that prevents me from bringing my note book wherever I go. How to write down notes or write down my random ideas?

And when I bring my note book out,I won't be able to pack my camera along because of the size of the bag. My hand phone's camera is hopeless! I can't even take a proper picture of myself.


But,Blackberry Storm 2 has the right solution for me. I can make use of the fast network connection to get my ideas running, or snap like a pro with the 3.2MP camera with the auto focus function. Say goodbye to pictures like that:

There is this song named A.Ra.Shi (storm) that I really like. The lyrics says arashi, arashi for dream. But, I don't want this Blackberry Storm 2 to be a dream phone. I want this berry! The power is in my hands,I will bring sunshine to this Storm or let it be the storm that inspires the Rain i mean Rene.


Celcom has always been working really closely with Blackberry. Of course, it will be the best Storm-tastic place to get a Black Berry Storm 2. Celcom might be the longest lasting cellular service in Malaysia, however it's not only for old peeps. They have the widest and most extensive coverage nationwide, compared to other cellular services in Malaysia.

Celcom has cool theme song and cool ads which features Wang Lee Hom! I'm not a fan of him but he's commercial sure is more interesting than any other ads on tv.

See..thats exactly what I need! And guess what? Celcom is currently giving away 2 Celcom BlackBerry® Storm™ 9520 to Nuffnangers. For more info, click here. Contest ends February 25th! So if you wanna be a part of the storm, better act as fast as a storm!

Why I like it Longer?

Short but sweet? I believe someone who immortalized his beloved’s beauty like Shakespeare would not agree on that.

When in eternal lines to time thou growest:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this and this gives life to thee.
Excerpt from Shakespeare's Sonnet 18

I ain’t no Shakespeare, but one thing in common between us is, I like it longer too. Not so much on time but on objects that comes in not bigger but longer in size.

-Why I like it longer #1

The living room is the heart of a house. To keep this ‘heart’ beat normally, family members and the TV plays a huge role. With this 17 feet (claimed by Dad) about 3 times of my height long sofa, all four of us (my family) get to sit on the same sofa comfortably and watch TV together. Quality family time together = I like it! And my favorite seat? The longest one of course!

I’m sorry that the first picture looks weird cause the sofa’s really long and I had to take a panoramic shot of it and lazy I don’t have the Stitching function on my Photoshop.

-Why I like it longer #2
One thing that my family really dislike about my dining area is there’s no fan! But we do have an air con which I don’t know whose stupid idea was it. Anyway, to ensure that everyone enjoyed their meal ‘coolly’, and to be more environmentally friendly, my mum decided to bring out the stand fan we bought some time ago.


BUT! I have no idea why is the cord so short! Tak sampai pun!


To overcome this ‘short’coming, Mum took out her secret weapon, the extension cord. And because Mummy likes it long, I like it too.


-Why I like it longer #3
Not so much of a wine/XO fan, but I still get a little excited when I see vintage wine, especially those which are older than me. I can’t help but ‘respect’ it as they are more ‘experienced’ than me.

Dad has a couple of wines and cognac in his collection too. Although they’re only household wine, all younger than me and not some château wine, my Dad still keeps it really properly.

Since 1997. 7 years younger than me. But Daddy thinks the longer the better and does not plan to open it any sooner, so I like it longer too.

-Why I like it longer #4
Because…I’m a girl! Why do girls fight against gravity by wearing killer heels?


Why are maxi dresses, long flared skirts and long tops + leggings so in trend lately?
Because we girls, short or tall, wants to look like we have longer legs. And the only way to ‘optical illusionize’ longer legs is through what we wear.
My sister, slightly shorter than me, is always in her favorite pair of Andre Valentino whenever she is shopping. Conversely, I who seldom wear heels goes for long tops of trench coats.

Yes, we sisters likes it longer.

-Why I like it longer #5
Known as the ‘taste long’ gum, Lotte Xylish chewing gum should really sign me as their next spokesperson.


I super love their gums especially the hyper cool black chewing gum, dubbed as the macho gum by Clair. The mint taste is enormously strong and long lasting unlike the ordinary chewing gum out there. Consuming one Xylish gum is equivalent to *I don’t want to name brands*’s gum.

Long lasting taste, Saya suka!

Last but not least, Why I like it longer #6
a. 4 inch wide screen with HD resolution
b. 5.0 mega pixel camera
c. Finger friendly fully touch screen
d. All the above


The latest LG Chocolate, like it’s name, long but sweet. And it’s even sweeter because Nuffnang x LG is giving out 3 sets of LG Chocolate phone worth RM2199. All you have to do is write an entry on ‘Why you like it longer?’ and don’t worry, you won’t get diabetes from all that sweetness. For more info, click HERE.

One of the most unjohnny's liked Johnny's is definitely Domoto Tsuyoshi. He doesn't like to dance, he can't do a backflip and he doesn't dress like one too. But, there is definitely a reason why when he was still a Johnny's Jr, Johnny san said "This boy, he definitely can handle a solo concert". The Japanese media even said that "there's no character that Domoto Tsuyoshi can't play"

Born on the 10th of April, 1979. This Spring child is never afraid to show his love for his hometown Nara. "Someiyoshino" is a song written by him about the cherry blossom he saw in Nara and Bigaku (My beautiful Sky) is so Nara! makes me wanna visit Nara even more


Besides Nara, Tsuyoshi is very fond of FISHES. He used to work under the name ENDLICHERI ENDLICHERI (a type of fresh water fish). I used to think that he chose that name because he really really likes that fish. However, after some research for my English essay, I found out that the Endlicheri fish is actually a peaceful, timid kind of fish. "Maybe that's why his first ENDLICHERI solo album was named 'COWARD'" that was the first thing that came to my mind. He probably relates himself to that fish.


Tsuyoshi's music is very very different from any other Johnny's. He's sounds more real. Not that others are fake but he's songs has more emotional, something that people can relate to. Sometimes, I think his music is a little scary/dark. That kind of feeling that people will try to avoid. But he is not afraid to sings it out, draws it out and even make a statement through his fashion!

Do you know Michael Jackson once praised Tsuyoshi for his vocals? That happened about 11 years ago during the J-FRIENDS days.

Although he always says that he does not contact his partner Koichi during their private time, he actually cares for Koichi very much. Little things that he said about his partner has a very big meaning behind it.


「光一が生まれてきてくれたことに感謝している。それぐらい僕は光一のことが好きってことですよ」
I give thanks that Koichi was born. That’s how much I like Koichi.

「誰かが光一の悪口を言っていたら、『お前はアイツの何が分かんねん！』ってボコボコにする」
If someone says bad things about Koichi, I’ll say, “What do you know about him!” and knock them around.

「お前の好きな曲弾いたるよ」
I’ll play you the song you like.

PS: In case you're wondering about the title. 244 stands for Tsuyoshi. Tsu(Japanese way of pronouncing two) Yo and Shi means four in Japanese.
