"さあ、楽しいの音楽時間だ" - 千秋様 (のだめカンタービレ) Now, it's time to enjoy music - Chiaki sama (Nodame Cantabile) Nodame Cantabile: The Final Score coming this Holiday season. Harriet can't wait to see Chiaki-sama, Mine-kun and all the rest of the cast again and everything is filmed in Europe! *prays really hard it will be brought to Singapore* Harriet watches wayyyy too much Nodame and since the SP season, Nodame was filmed in so many awesome concert halls and it has become Harriet's dream to at least attend one of those. Watch the trailers pls ;D Harriet is going to Barcelona this weekend~ Harriet loves cultural things, even more so if it's a UNESCO World Heritage site ♥ The picture is the view of Harriet's seat for a concert at Palau De La Música Catalana~! Orchestra+ Modernist/Art Nouveau+Unicorns on the wall = win. Harriet also ♥ the booking system that shows you the view of EVERY single seat. oooo, Harriet is making a post from Flickr *Harriet is bewildered by why she's amused by that* Labels: Dorama, Europe, Harriet 1 Comments Stars

Nakashima Mika just released a new single, Nageareboshi. It's stuck on repeat in Harriet's iTunes :3 Harriet been a loyal Mika fan since SEVEN and especially loves the "Star" theme ballads. Harriet loves watching Mika's lives. It's impactful, though Harriet is not so big on the couching when Mika hits the high notes. This stage is quite similar to her performance at Kouhaku Uta Gassen last year. Probably one of those set ups that looks cool but is actually really simple. Harriet is guessing Mika will sing Nagareboshi at Kouhaku this year. \(^o^)/ Btw, Harriet did see 2 shooting stars while she is in Germany. If the skies are clear and dark, it's not difficult to see. Unfortunately it's not quite possible in urban areas. No, Harriet did not make wishes, because she was already having the best time of her life.

Harriet went to Aachen today to meet someone new. A little more about that here. Harriet had lots of German food today and it was fantastic! Germany's first UNESCO World Heritage Site is there!  It's difficult to tell it's Germany's first UNESCO from the outside, a mixture of different architectural styles. The inside is surprisingly small too but it was covered in amazing mosaic and they mosaics were shiny! :3 but then they charge 2 euros to take pictures and Harriet thought she'd do without.  1 Comments Work Hard, Play even Harder

Harriet is back from the Rhines, the Moselles, Hergé museum and Brussels Art Nouveau Biennale~! The trip was amazing, though weather wasn't the greatest and some places Harriet wanted to see were closed. Harriet bought back 300 photos, 3 more Tintin goods, a healthy dose of cardio and lungs filled with fresh air and perhaps some scrapes from falling off her bike. Harriet has 2 subjects this block and it's a lot of reading and presentations! Harriet will try harder! Go go Harriet! Anyways, Harriet is having a bit of problem with her photos.... Harriet shoots in RAW format in highest resolutions, so she used up the entire of an 8 gb SD card and she has no disk space to edit them ;A; The external drive Harriet bought with her is unreliable! >8( There will only be two photos today! Harriet tried using Adobe Lightroom! This one is my favourite shot of the entire trip. Mainly because Harriet is a sucker for coin souvenirs and the photo did not require editing except for cropping an Lightroom added my camera model. Harriet is delightfully surprised by how well the camera handles macro shots!  The coin is from Burg Eltz. It comes with the guide tour of the castle. Harriet hiked 90 minutes to get up to the castle and it was well worth it! If you know Harriet well enough, you'd know Harriet is deathly afraid of heights and hiking is quite a task for her. Harriet thinks Burg Eltz comparable to Neuschwanstein and they serve delicious homemade wine up there. Harriet should make another post about the castles she's been to. They are totally a league of its own. Here's another favourite thing from the trip!  It's the audio guide from the Hergé museum! Yes! It has a touch screen and it plays videos and quizzes throughout the tour! Adds an amazing experience to the museum, where the exhibits itself is awesome enough. Harriet shall go do her readings now, she has more epic weekends ahead! A trip to Aachen this week and Stockholm the next. Herlina is in Stockholm! Harriet hopes to see her soon!  4 Comments Not your average spot

It's been quite a while, Harriet missed every one! How's everyone doing? Harriet is having a great time in Maastricht! Our Princesses need to update more! Harriet feels a bit disappointed when she visits PF and no new updates.... ;A; Anyways, Harriet's received her new camera. It's has a super wide angle lens and it even has an electronic thing that tells you if you are holding the camera straight. Doubles as a spirit level. Awesome! ^-^v Now Harriet no longer has excuse not to update or at least she can pic spam. Yeah! BABY~~ It's exam week for everyone, but not for Harriet this time. Harriet only need to write a paper, so today Harriet took her bike out to print her report (Harriet spent 3 euros on colour printing her 11 page report @_@ Harriet shouldn't be so OCD *repeat 200 times*) and made a detour to the coolest places in Maastricht. That is the only one place Harriet knew about before arriving in Maastricht.  Harrriet is kidding about going every Sunday. No offense either. It's just two of Harriet's favourite kind of places combined in one. Ironically enough, Harriet love going to book stores but no longer read books and visits churches but is not affiliated to the religion in anyway. Perhaps it's the calming atmosphere both of them have. Good reason to put them together, probably.  Anyways it's just all sorts of awesome.   /You can actually still see bits of frescoes on the ceiling.  Btw, as much as Harriet likes visiting churches and cathedrals, Harriet never climb the towers because she is deathly afraid of heights =3=;   (Harriet likes it so much she goes there every Sunday! ;D 6 more fotoes under the cut) That's all until next time! More travelling, castles, world heritage and art nouveau biennale~ ❤  2 Comments Brussels and Amsterdam

Brussels, the city of Art Nouveau, comics (Tintin <3), chocolate, mussels yada yada yada. Surprisingly, the area Harriet stayed in was so ghetto, Harriet freaked out big time. But still it's a freaking awesome city, Harriet didn't have enough time to visit everything.  Man reading a comic in the Art Nouveau Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert Amsterdam was so colourful, shopping is such a joy. Oh well, it wasn't like there was much to see, so Harriet was shopping instead.....  Biscuit face Harriet and the Croquetten vending machines 0 Comments |
