I really should be changing this blog layout. Getting stale… *taps brain cells* Ah…no idea at the moment. Too tired to think. I’ve been faithfully watching ブラザー☆ビート so as to clear my harddrive bit by bit. Hehe…so as to make space for more stuff… The drama’s quite entertaining by the way. :happy:
Anyway, I collected some stuff today. Bloop bloop bloop…tired…can’t think…shall go to sleep. :sleep:
Ahhhh…finished reading all the entries at Binan no Nikki. Some of the entries were really hilarious.
I think Koyama’s entries are pretty entertaining. With him talking about Tego’s cheekiness. And then him getting surrounded by noisy kindergarten kids on the train. Trying to communicate with them. ã‚ã…å¯æ„›ã„!!! :rofl:
And poor Shige! Not getting recognised in his classes. Everyone in his class seems to know that a NewS member is in their class but they don’t realise it’s him. One even thought Shige was pulling his leg when Shige said “it’s me” in reply to the guy’s question about a NewS member in their class. But isn’t that good too? Then nobody would bother you so much and you wouldn’t have to question anybody’s intentions of being friends with you.
Oh…and it seems Shige studies English. That’s something good… 🙂
I’m catching up with all the entries at Binan no Nikki. I seem to have missed out some entries as I tried to locate the entry where I last stopped at. So in the end, I decided to read from the beginning. Which isn’t really that much since they only started in March.
I just read Ryoã¡ã‚ƒã‚“’s longer-than-usual entry on his little sister’s wedding. I must say that this is the best Jweb entry I’ve read so far. I know I shouldn’t be too surprised but…his sister is only 20! And anyway, his sister is pregnant too. *sigh* Couples these days never really think of the consequences. Luckily the guy is someone who’s responsible.
What he said to his brother-in-law over the phone: “Good Luck. If you make my sister cry, I’ll never forgive you. The entire Nishikido household will make you full of holes. Good Luck.” *pause* ã¡ã‚‡…ã¡ã‚‡ã£ã¨å¾…ã£ã¦ãã ã•ã„… :rofl: I can so picture Ryoã¡ã‚ƒã‚“ saying that in his most serious voice. :rofl: But I bet his sister would have this 幸㛠feeling if she heard her brother saying that. Ahhhhhhhhh…I want an older brother too! :rofl: I heard that older brothers are very protective of their younger sisters.
I believe that under his tough exterior, Ryoã¡ã‚ƒã‚“ is actually quite an emotional person. He cried so much at his sister’s wedding!

Oh…talking about 1リットルã®æ¶™… Omg, I just can’t stop talking about that drama. :rofl: Anyway, they finally published the book in Mandarin! As in the original story. It’s a true story by the way. I was so happy when I saw it in Kinokuniya. Apparently, the book was just published in Mandarin this month. I thought Kinokuniya just didn’t carry it when I emailed them about it some time ago.
I saw a photo of it in an Astronomy magazine in Times bookshop. Then recently, I watched Eight Below and it sort of got featured in the movie as well.
To be able to see this is like a once in a lifetime kinda thing. Pity, Singapore is right smack at the equator. Thank God we don’t have natural disasters coz of it but that also means we lose out on stuff like this. And I know I’ve been saying this over and over again but “why the hell didn’t TP make Astronomy a CDS subject?” I remember getting excited over it when I filled in this survey form when I enrolled as a student.
And in case you want to know more about Northern Lights, here’s a good website.
Anyway, I also learnt that not all seals look friendly and cuddly. A leopard seal looks horrendous when its mouth is opened wide. The one in the movie reminded me of Alien. 怖ㄅ
I know what you want to say next. It’s all too familiar. Too many times have I been warned, sometimes bordering on being threatened that you have an uncontrollable rage and I should just shut up. But what I want to know then is whether deficiency overrules reason? Frankly speaking, sometimes I wonder whether you are just using it as an excuse to shut me up.
It hurts that I can’t argue my point. And leads me to wonder whether we live to please others only or also ourselves? That we have to give the politically correct answers and not what we actually feel. I remember myself typing these exact same words for a friend.
When I do things by myself so as to prevent myself from getting into situations where we end up quarrelling, I get scolded as being selfish. When I let you do things first so that I wouldn’t be scolded as being selfish, I point it out to you, instead of seeing a little smile as a thank you, “I never asked you to do this for me” gets shoved back in my face. When you point out other’s mistakes, they are expected to listen and reflect. When we point out your mistakes, we are expected to shut up. Where then does reason come in?
Before I’m being accused something I’m not (something which I hate most), you think I do not realise but sometimes I do. I know there are times when I’m being ã‚ãŒã¾ã¾. Then the times when I don’t realise, you point it out with reason and I agree and reflect.
I’m not expecting you to say you’re sorry coz given your strong nature, even if you felt a little sorry you would choose to remain silent or worse, still try to argue the parts where you’re right. Just as you know me in some ways, I know you in some ways too.
Dreaming of being a star? Better think again. It ain’t that glamourous afterall. It’s a cruel world out there. It’s not enough even if you have good vocals. You need to be able to dance, act, host etc… 3-4 days, that’s all the time you’re given to learn a new dance. Slow learners, you can forget about eating or sleeping until you nail it.
Was watching this clip on Berryz工房’s journey from the day the unit was formed. Mind you, these girls started out when they were only 9-11 years old.
I really wonder how they juggled school and work. Work seems to be neverending. Recording. Learn the dance. Activities to promote the single/album. Back to the studio to record new song. A neverending cycle.
First incident. Dance lesson for first single, “ã‚ãªãŸãªã—ã§ã¯ç”Ÿãã¦ã‚†ã‘ãªã„”. The girls are formed into 2 groups to practise some dance steps. Momoko, Miyabi, Maiha and Chinami in one group. Saki, Yurina and Risako in another. Maasa wasn’t present for this lesson. After the first group danced, Maiha got reprimanded by the dance teacher that she needed to practise more. While the next group danced for the teacher, the first group should be practising at the back of the room. But somehow, Maiha was sitting alone in a corner…
Then comes the insecurity. The feeling that you’re so far behind the rest…the fear that you can’t make it.
So what if you’re in pain, life still has to go on. You can’t just give up as you like.
So you think you can handle it? This post is a reminder for all those who dream of becoming a star. It isn’t just what you see on tv. All the glitz and glamour. Instructors don’t care whether you can or cannot coz even if you cannot, you better make that cannot into a can.
Sometimes I wonder whether Maiha left the group coz she found it hard to juggle both work and studies. Especially since it seems that she is the slow learner for dance in the group. The company just released the statement that she graduated from the group to focus on her studies. I’m just speculating. What I’m thinking may not be true.
Take a look at Samsung’s new phone. P300.
No, your eyes are not playing tricks on you. It does look a lot like a calculator. *sarcastic* Might as well just pick up my calculator and pretend it’s a phone. And I thought PDAs which double up as phones were bad enough.
What a fugly phone.
Relax…only for the rest of this year. But that was bad enough for me to go on a mini spree, since I heard that from May (their hiatus) onwards, everything of theirs will be taken down in the Johnny’s shop. Which means that when I go to Japan this year, I won’t be able to buy anything of theirs. 😥
Massu uchiwa, Massu file and tour pamphlet. Ahahahahaha…pink spots! :rofl: Still love the uchiwa from Summary concert coz that’s the only one so far with his name in kanji. His hair is somewhat a little messier for this uchiwa. :love: The contents (photos) for this tour pamphlet is better than the previous one.
Group poster. I had doubts about getting this poster. There wasn’t a photo to show how the poster looked like when I ordered it. I was prepared to sell it if it didn’t look good. After browsing the Japan auctions, I saw the photo for it and well, it didn’t look good. But when I collected and saw it, I think it looks fine. 🙂 So, I’m going to keep it afterall.
I saved the best for last. The Massu poster!!! *fangirl scream* :heart: :heart: :heart: It’s like whoa! Huge! His face is even bigger than mine! The second photo is to show you how big the poster is with relation to the bed. Now I understand why Mini (Cynthia) freaked out when her mirror reflected Yoko’s eye. Sorry, photos had to be taken at a slant since the light’s reflection can be seen when I take it upright.
With that, I’m now seriously broke. 🙁
