done with the past

by

YES! I’m done with backing up my past entries at diaryland. So now it’s permanently goodbye to diaryland. *waves goodbye*

We were supposed to go to Botanic Gardens to watch Cheng Huat play with his school (VJC) band. However due to the bad weather, we decided to stay home. We did go out for dinner though. Dinner was at Mushroom Pot in Orchard Point.

super duper tongue twister

by

Prepare yourself for the world’s toughest tongue twister. Ok…not so tough since Subaru managed it at an impressive speed.

This is it…kindly taken off a Kanjani8 fansite, the webmistress’ blog which can be accessed here.

寿限無、寿限無 五劫のすりきれ 海砂利水魚の　水行末　雲来末　風来末 食う寝るところに住むところ やぶら小路のぶら小路 パイポパイポ　パイポのシューリンガン シューリンガンのグーリンダイ グーリンダイのポンポコピーのポンポコナーの 長久命の長助

Which in romanji looks like…

“Jugemu jugemu gokou no surikire kaijarisuigyo no suigyoumatsu unraimatsu furaimatsu kuu neru tokoro ni sumu tokoro yaburakouji no burakouji paipopaipo paipo no shuuringan shuuringan no guurindai guurindai no ponpokopii no ponpokonaa no choukyuumei no chousuke”

It’s a name. Really. Not kidding you. From a famous rakugo story. If you’re really curious to know what’s the story about then head over to her blog.

Per sent me the Gimon episode where Kanjani8 had to recite this. Failing to do so correctly, you got whacked on the head. Poor Ohkura got whacked. And of course, the aho…Ryuhei. -_-||| He didn’t even realise his mistake.

Oh. The Massu site has moved to another sub-domain which explains why the other one was down. Thanks to Per’s clever thinking, she asked me to do a search. But then, I found I missed at least 3 episodes of Kinpachi Sensei. *sobz* But now there’s a whole lot more of clips to be downloaded. Wondering whether it’s a good or bad thing coz it’ll take a few days to download everything…hmmm…

righting the wrong

by

Met up with Nad for dinner. We talked quite a bit. I realised that I have misunderstood her. I am not going to say that I’m ashamed of coming up with such conclusions coz whatever I had in mind was also for her good. It wasn’t like I was about to murder her or something. But glad that I talked to her coz that’s the only way to right the wrongs.

For now, I’ll like to wish her good luck and that we *I’m sure all the 7ners* will support you as you go along. Helping you, advising you…

OMG. I have a ton of clips cluttered on my desktop, all waiting to be watched. And I’m desperately trying to position them so they won’t cover any of the NewS members’ faces *my wallpaper*. Still have backing up of entries at diaryland to do. Finished quite a bit…about half? Then there’s getting my PVs/MTVs all listed down. Too much to be done and all I’m doing now is “grabbing” whatever clip there is available for download.

guys in certain clothing

by

You MUST see this…

Ryo and Uchi in their new drama がんばっていきまっしょい. Uchi looks so 帅~~~

YES! I downloaded the first episode. *pumps fist in the air* Shall watch it tonight.

Ok ok…back to the topic. I realised that guys in Japanese high school uniform *like the one Uchi and Ryo are wearing* look cute. *slap* Of course, the guy must be cute also lahz… Realised this when I was watching the episode of 15 Sai no Blues, Tego’s 4 part drama. OMG…I’m becoming a paedophile. First Massu…then guys in high school uniform…

It’s just like how I think guys in white shirts look 帅. The untucked kind. Doesn’t really matter if it’s long or short sleeved. Coz I think white is a pure colour…makes you look clean and friendly??? HAHAHA…

Guys in sweaters are also cool. Coz if you hug them, you’ll feel so warm~~~ That’s my thinking…could be wrong…

lost

by

Yesterday, supposed to meet Per and James for dinner. But dear Per fell asleep so ended up James, Sis and I had dinner at Pasta Mania. After which, James and I headed for her house. Going there to install some stuff in her computer. Decided to walk there since James wanted to grab something from Subway which is near the stadium. Bad idea. HAHAHA…coz I’m lousy at directions. We got lost. Till now, I cannot really picture how we can get lost. In my mind, everything is set out in blocks so I really can’t understand certain parts unless someone tells me that the path we walked was a bend. It just looked like a straight path so I really have no idea how we ended up near the police post. Shall consult the street directory later. No use in someone telling me.

Anyway, this really confirms that I cannot learn to drive. Coz I will end up getting lost. The kind where this situation might just pop up…

Me gets lost and calls friend.
Me: I’m lost.
Friend: Where are you? Which area are you in?
Me: I don’t know.
Friend: Describe to me the area. Any landmarks?
Me: Ehz…I don’t know. Just trees and blocks. *pause* And a road ahead.
Friend: How I know where are you? *pengz*

Finally Per met us and brought us to her house.

Went home really late. Sis and I couldn’t sleep and ended up talking all the way till Mum came to talk about the Japan trip. So we finally got the tickets. Then Per asked whether we wanted to have breakfast since we weren’t asleep yet.

Had breakkie at Mac. Hung around till around noon then went home to sleep. By then I was really tired and well, just wanted to go home. Had things on my mind.

Never thought I would sleep till 6pm. But it felt good to escape reality for awhile. And now I’m back.

2012

by

I suddenly realised I got my priorities wrong. Since yesterday or even before that, I have been trying to compile a list of all my mp3s and mtvs to put up here. Got this idea after visiting a Tackey & Tsubasa site and then requesting the webmistress to send me some clips. It’s like sharing all the goodies you have. Anyway, coz of that, I haven’t been continuing the ardous process of backing up my diaryland entries. Which I must coz probably in a month’s time, diaryland will just delete my account coz I am not blogging with them anymore.

Per just sent me a url of some lucky girl’s site. Why lucky? Coz she managed to talk to some of the NewS members. *faints faints faints* I told Per that if I ever EVER get to meet any of them, I think I will just be silent after “hello”. Like just TOTAL SILENCE. Why? Coz I can’t speak Japanese. I only know like what…a few random words, not enough to string proper sentences. *thinks* But then again, I seem to be quite quiet around people I don’t really know. Then they all think I am a very quiet person. Sorry manz, you gotta know me well to know that I ain’t THAT quiet. HAHAHA…

In less than 24 hours, the IOC will decide which country will be hosting the 2012 Olympics. Hope London wins the bid. Haha…coz I signed to support them. Stupid reason huh? Singapore will never get to be host country coz our country is so freakin’ small. If some Europeans can think that we are part of China, that just goes to show how insignificant our country is in terms of size. Probably the number of tourists who visit the country for the Olympics is enough to fill our whole country. Then where are our people going to stay? Underground…HAHAHA…

so listen to the radio

by

Before I plunge into the day’s happenings, let me introduce the songs on my radio blog. *points to the left* I just added 4 more songs yesterday. =)

Marion Raven – Break You, currently one of my faves. This is my first favourite song of Marion. The whole album sounds a whole lot different from her M2M days. M2M was more pop-ish. Her solo album is more rock-ish. But whether it’s M2M or Marion Raven, I admire her talent.

Marion Raven – End Of Me, second favourite Marion song.

Lene Marlin – Story, this song is really very meaningful. I think it’s about a friend who has depression and committed suicide. Coz of how I see my own sister struggle with depression, this song holds a lot of meaning for me. It really reflects how other people look at them. I feel angry that people often treat them like aliens. Or worse still, pretend that they understand but totally don’t and in the end hurt them a lot more. This brings to the whole issue of me thinking that teachers never really cared. Whatever they said was more like empty promises. Fuck. If you really cared, Sis wouldn’t have broke down in school. If you really cared, students wouldn’t be committing suicide. I really felt bad at that time that coz I wasn’t in school (in SIP company), I couldn’t be there to help her. *gives dirty look at that DAMN FUCKING lecturer* All the talk about how you understood, YOU NEVER REALLY DID coz in the end, you turned round and blamed her instead.

Lene Marlin – Disguise, some lines in this song reflects how I truly feel at times. How I never really dared to show some parts of me to protect myself from getting hurt. From young, I learnt not to cry so that people wouldn’t bully me. But sometimes it’s tiring to keep this barrier up coz I know that sometimes I’m not that strong and really need to cry. It’s good now that I slowly accept these emotions, that it isn’t wrong to show them. To admit my weaknesses and that it isn’t something shameful to let people know of them.

NewS – Zutto, this is the sweetest song. I wrote in a previous diaryland entry on this song. Discussing about how it would be good to have a relationship where the 2 of us could walk hand in hand, not saying a word but yet know what each other is thinking. Just that simple…

NewS – Cherish, another nice NewS song. This song really sparked off my liking for NewS. =)

Mari Sasaki – The Cape Of Storms (Piano version), a song originally sung by Hyde. This piano version was in 下弦の月 (Last Quarter). The tune Chiaki played on the piano.

Kanjani8 – Osaka Rainy Blues, according to Per whose Japanese is way way better than mine, she says that this song is really sad. There is a strong usage of Kansaiben in it. Something like this person cannot forget and cannot go back to the way his relationship was…

Kanjani8 – Naniwa Iroha Bushi…*chants* Sora! Yoi to ko sassa no yoi sassa! A very matsuri-feel song. Good to listen now since it is the 夏祭 (summer festival) period in Japan. Will be going to Osaka in time for their summer festival. Wearing my æµ´è¡£ (summer kimono) and watching 花火 (fireworks) . Really can’t wait. Sort of like a once in a lifetime kinda experience. The PV for this song is really nice too. Uchi looks so cute doing the traditional dance hand actions. ^_^

Please listen to the songs. Hope you like them as much as I do~~~

Spent a rather eventful day. Getting a new hard drive to back up all the clips and PVs and what not. Space is never enough when you see how I, Sis and Per do our downloading. Haha. I assure you that you will look at this issue in a whole new light. Oh well, we met James at Sim Lim, needed some “expert” help. With that, Per and I got the 160GB internal hard drive.

Met Chien Ren’s brother coz he needed to get something changed as well. Had lunch at Amirans. A restaurant that Per recommended we go try.

Headed back to my house to install it in. Haha, James kept exclaiming that I’m an IT student coz I really had no idea what he was doing when I’m supposed to know coz I went through FCSOS. HAHA…see I told you guys I’m not smart. I think the main reason why I don’t remember this stuff is coz school labs are like ineffective for me. Usually you pair up to do this kinda stuff and since the guys are like experts in this, most of the time they do up everything. There is never enough time to actually fiddle around with the stuff. Secondly, Mum will not be too pleased to see me fiddling with my own computer. Well, she DID pay for the computer. Although I think this is the best way for me to learn. To have someone beside me who knows this stuff…then I can try out this combination or that, or just ask why do I have to do it this way and what does this do. Right now, the inside looks just like a mass of wires and itty bitty chippy things. God knows what is what.

It’s really like how I learnt to use the VCR…all the functions and stuff. I watch Dad fix it up, read the manual, fiddle around and then go “oh, so this function does this”.

After dinner, the 3 of us went over to Per’s house to help her install the hard drive as well. I guess she is damn happy now coz then she can download more Honjani episodes and all those Kanjani8 clips without having to worry about the lack of space.

I just realised that time passes really quickly and I have barely started doing what I proposed to do before it is time to get a job.

WHY IS THE MASSU SITE STILL DOWN?! Now I am stuck with only ONE FREAKIN’ EPISODE of Kinpachi Sensei.

o tanjoubi omedetou!!!

Per asked why I never write any birthday wishes for Massu. Ok then, here goes…

Wishing Massu a wonderful and blessed birthday. May you always be that sunshine-y. Keep smiling. Stay healthy *even when that lousy Johnny Kitagawa is trying to overwork you…grrrr*. Please don’t learn to smoke or else my impression of you will just go *piang*. Have fun!
[edited]

This is a MUST ok…

増田さんおたんじょびおめでとう!!! *sorry, I only know hiragana…HAHAHA*

Massu is 19 today!!! *claps*

Japan is one hour ahead of us…

Since it is also Jin’s birthday…

赤西さんおたんじょびおめでとう!

asunaro ginga

by

Omg. Sonim’s “Asunaro Ginga” PV is so sad.

She plays a blind girl in the PV. One day on the street, she slips but is caught by a passer-by, a kind-hearted boy. She gives him a little knitted bunny. Slowly they build a friendship. He’s running away from the bad guys who are after whatever is in this bag that he carries.

One day, they meet at the park. She passes to him some documents, telling him that she is going for an operation. She tries to touch his face but he pushes her away. Coz he has been beaten up by the bad guys so there are bumps and bruises.

They agree to meet again when her operation is over. Her operation is successful. She waits for him. He holds a small bouquet of flowers, happily walking to go meet her. Suddenly, someone briefly passes by him. A shocked look on his face and he falls down to the ground. He has been stabbed. He dies.

She just continues to wait for him…

It’s really really sad coz she doesn’t even know he’s dead. Doesn’t even know what he looks like…
