Look Like Kawai Japanese?

When I just returned from Japan (a short term study) in 2002, I was utterly ashamed and disappointed about the dress sense of Singaporeans.


I'm sure most of you will agree that in comparison to Japan, Singaporeans' dress sense really CANNOT MAKE IT!


However, being in a hot and humid country, and also the daily hustle and bustle of working life, I have also grown to become lazy to dress up - the typical Sporean with t-shirt and jeans and slippers or slacks on weekends. :-(



Have heard of many of sporean guys and my guy friends praised and adore the Japanese "kawai" (cute) OL (office ladies) on the streets of Tokyo. Often heard are that they condemn about how Sporean women really pale down in comparison with the Japanese "kawai" ideal women they so adore!


Are we really that inferior? Are we really that bad? Actually, I don't think so. Of course, Japanese women being blessed with fair and good complexion, thanks to their seasonal climate and food, they are just like us. Only thing is that they put in alot of effort to make up and dress up. How do they have so much time to doll up? It's their culture- they are being brought up in a neat and clean environment where women are to be seen as docile and should make efforts to look good, especially to their men. Of course, times are changing and gradually we see more capable Japanese women climbing up the career ladder though the pace is relatively slower than Singapore.

In the next blog, I will share with you how to make up and look just as gorgeous as Japanese women :-) Check it out!
