letting it all out

by

My domain is down. That kinda sucks coz I can’t update pages. And I have to stare at a very unflattering font for this blog. Bleargh.

I’m having mixed feelings about posting comments, saying what I feel in a certain friend’s blog. Because I know that my words won’t sound nice. But there is a reason why I say that stuff. And I suppose no one will understand that. They’ll probably think that I’m just trying to put that friend down. I’ll get slammed right to the other side of the world.

I feel so enclosed. I am one who speaks her mind easily thus the feeling just makes me so frustrated. Another friend mentioned that the way we think this way is because we know this friend far better than the other people there.

On to the day’s happenings. I went to help out JCG’s AGM. I thought that they had everything in order and I’ll have fun there feeling like it really is a mini matsuri event. Unfortunately not. In my mind, I pictured our Arts and Entertainment sub-comm playing Kanjani8’s “Naniwa Iroha Bushi” (a very matsuri feeling song) out loud. While the people came to play games and in the end join our group.

Well, our sub-comm table just had 2 yukatas and a matsuri coat *not sure what that one’s called*. People could put them on and get their photo taken at 50 cents. Then there was this girl who requested I demonstrated wearing the yukata first before she tried it on. Hell. Fumbling around with no help at first. Then someone came to help but it still turned out strange. ちょっとおかしい! Fumbled around for an hour. Getting frantic coz it was so hot and I had to leave.

Per finally had to come over to wait for me. She helped me a bit but by then we HAD to leave. So we left with me feeling a bit bad for not putting on the yukata properly for that girl to see. Actually if I didn’t have any other activities later on, I would have stayed through the whole AGM and perhaps worn my yukata from home.

Per and I went to Zouk for Samsung Fun Club’s 2nd Birthday Bash. Seriously speaking, it’s my first time going to a club. The atmosphere was just DOT DOT DOT. Nothing wrong with the music but the people were really just sitting there. Taufik and Singaporean newcomer, Jones Shi Kang Jun performed and the people were just sitting there. Except for a really small group of Taufik fans. Oh my…if some group or singer I liked was on stage, I would be SHOWING some form of support.

Most of the time there, Per and I were just discussing about NewS and Kanjani8. HAHAHA…

There were no freebies except for 2 cups of soft drink. -_-|||

roachy horror story

by

It’s really really late and I’m really really sleepy. But I think I really really need to blog before I go to sleep.

Spent the day out with Per and Pwen. First to collect Per’s passport and then to NAFA to pay her school fees. Finally meeting up with Pwen at Bugis. We had lunch at Mac, talked a lot…then walked around.

Couldn’t find Kansai Walker in Kino but I managed to get 2 copies of Popteen.

Headed for Per’s house. She cooked spaghetti for us. I seem to be eating the most all the time. But I can’t help it coz I feel really hungry. I can’t understand why they don’t feel hungry at all. It makes me look like I’m just being greedy. =( But it reminds me a lot of Massu.

Talking about Massu. Per was helping me translate the answers of the NewS members for this magazine quiz. Apparently, one of the questions was “If you see a cockroach, what would you do?”. Guess what Massu said? He said he would scream. DOTS… My gawd, can he be more man? Can you imagine that in the future, his kid comes to him and says “Daddy daddy, there’s a cockroach in the toilet. Catch it.” and all he can do is scream.

Guess what Per said? She said “Good what. You 2 very 配. Then can compete with each other who is louder.” -_-||| Like as if I know him personally… Ya, in my dreams.

And almost everyone knows that when they want to hear a roach horror story, they should come to me. Our family has tons of roach horror stories when the guys come to fog the chute.

donnamonya back to life

by

Our (Per and I) donnamonya has come alive! Back then in secondary school, we kept one. It was on paper. Now Per has continued by email. うれしい~~~(Per, did I use the word correctly?)

What is donnamonya? It is like a discussion about anything.

Haha…I’ve changed my MSN avatar to the screencap of that Honjani episode where Kanjani8 (minus Ryo and Uchi) have to try their hand at cooking Italian food. It’s the screencap of Ohkura and Yasu…damn funny. Ohkura burnt his finger and said the hair’s all gone!

So no more 大阪レイニーブルース Ryuhei. Haha…but I made a handphone wallpaper with that pic. I told Per that I hope when we go to Samsung Fun Club’s birthday bash, they’ll give freebies like more fun club points. So can make more wallpaper for free. Ok…not really free coz I have to pay for the GPRS to download them into my handphone. What? You think I’m going there to see Taufik? Haha, I’m going there to be a freebie monster.

This Wednesday is also JCG’s AGM. This year I think it’s more special. They intend to have some games like the yo-yo fishing.

flipping through the papers

by

Been fixing my blog bit by bit.

Yesterday I was dying to share my thoughts on 2 issues but Sis was using the computer and Per was busy.

I was flipping through 2 days worth of Newpaper just to read about the body found at the river. Anyway, in the newspaper, there was also an article about that Singaporean girl blogger who recently got (in)famous by posting nude shots of herself on her blog.

By the time I finished reading the article, I was rolling my eyes. What she commented sounded like she really didn’t want the attention. But her actions showed otherwise. Stop contradicting yourself. If you think you enjoy basking in all the attention given to you, then just admit it. We all want a little attention sometimes, even I do. Well, let’s just say it reminded me of someone I knew.

Flipping through newspapers and magazines these days can be quite a “traumatic” thing for me. For one, they like to publish tons of chatline advertisements along with it. So much so that I wonder whether I’m actually getting my money’s worth of news and articles.

Anyway, that’s not the point. The point is that these chatline advertisements use pictures of Japanese stars. What? You think I don’t know is it? It makes me feel like they are just out to cheat people. Hell yea. Maybe they ARE out to cheat people. Some lonely bugger (as what CJ terms these people) out there sees your advertisement, thinks they can talk to such a pretty girl or handsome guy, when maybe all you can offer are average looking people. Hey, isn’t that how sex predators look for their prey? Someone pretends to be some good looking person when in actual fact he is just a pot-bellied, 40-something year old man with a receding hairline.

So far, they have been using the Morning Musume girls. Alright, these girls are around the legal age. Then I see a Berryz Koubou girl?! What the hell. She’s just about 12 years old! Ok ok…not to kick up a big fuss. But what else do I see? Akanishi Jin from Johnny’s entertainment’s KAT-TUN?! *fumes*

Per told me before that Johnny’s entertainment is very particular about how the pictures are published. Unless it is a magazine or website approved by the company itself, no other magazine or website is allowed to publish their photos. Even if say one of the Johnny’s boys act in a drama and there is an official website for that drama. They can put up every other actors’ or actresses’ photos except that Johnny’s boy’s. Hello. They have to make money ok. If not, why do they sell tons of official photos?

So…these chatline companies had better watch out. If they get caught, they could be sued…it’s really a deep shit situation we’re talking about here.

things for the future

by

Fixing the coding for wordpress is not easy. But at least the banner’s half up since you can see it but the links are not linked yet.

Wednesday, met up with 7ners to celebrate Nad’s birthday. Belated celebration. Had dinner at Secret Recipe in PS. Moved to Istana Park to cut the cake since Secret Recipe has some strict rules about no outside food.

Today (Thursday), accompanied Per to ICA building coz she needed to have her passport done up. After which, she came over to my place to watch yesterday’s finale of “Eye For A Guy”.

It was so obvious Denise would choose Wolfgang. I believe she’s the independant woman kind. I believe dark, mysterious and romantic guys are more of what she would go for. Whereas Howard seems to be more suited for a sweet and cute girl. Someone who enjoys the attention showered on her. No doubt he’s sweet and all but not good for an independant woman coz she would need her space sometimes and he’ll probably want to stick to her always. So much so that she might find him a bit annoying at times. Like a shadow.

Haha…I haven’t watched any of the episodes but I talk like as if I’m some expert. Only read their characters in 8 Days.

After watching that, Per wanted to watch the NewS dvd together with me. So we watched it. Haha…got to see Masuda saying “Mickey. Kawaii.” again.

Oh ya, recently, Per sent me the links to read the translated Myojo November 2004 NewS articles. It was this 1000 question thingy.

Of which, YamaP said he’s willing to wait a maximum of 2 hours for his girlfriend (if he had one). This led me to discuss with Per that I wouldn’t wait THAT long for my boyfriend (if I had one). Maximum 1 hour. Unless I can walk around somewhere and see stuff then maybe slightly longer. And he better have a good reason for being late or else he’s DEAD. But if it’s the other way round, he better not ask me for a reason. HAHAHA. Nahz, I’m not that bad lahz.

Then I went on to say that it’ll be good to have a relationship where both of us can walk together, holding hands and not say a word to each other but we both know what each other is thinking. That simple. No whispering of sweet-nothings. Nothing. But yet we are so close to each other as to know what each other thinks. Well, it’s definitely not happening now so that’s why it’s called a dream/fantasy. HAHAHA.

Per told me that Ryo said that he has a problem waking up. I said, I wouldn’t mind it if my boyfriend is like that as long as he admits that he has a problem. I wouldn’t mind giving him morning calls. But he better wake up after my morning call, if he dares go back to sleep, he’s DEAD. But if he admits he has a problem and then PROMISES he will change but doesn’t, then I’ll get mad. Coz it’s one thing to admit a problem but another to make empty promises. I rather he just admit his problem and FULLSTOP. Unless he promises to change and I do see that he tries then I may be more tolerant.

Oh. And one more thing that was discussed. When I’m angry or irritated with someone, that person had better not come and ask me something while I’m fuming, add some wisecracks or something. Because I will think you are just trying to act so damn blardee cute. Just let me fume then cool down. Actually it doesn’t take very long for me to cool down so if you’re smart, you’ll just leave me alone for awhile.

Haha…Per wanted to keep all this for our Donnamonya. I said “Wah! You want to keep this as proof for my future boyfriend is it?” So, yea…potential guys ar…you know who to go to for the extra tidbits. Haha…I say all this like really 不要脸. HAHAHA.

Haha…I rarely tell all coz can’t really trust a lot of people these days. But it feels good once in a while to let out how I feel.

the voice at the station

by

Haha…looks like I will still be blogging here for some time since I haven’t figured out WordPress fully. Haven’t even finished with the header. But you can expect someone’s face on it. Hahaha…you should know who by now.

Had a wonderful time today. Met up with Xianglin. Had a really full meal at NYDC then we walked around. I’m so sad to say that the Japanese section in the music stores are getting smaller and smaller. I couldn’t even find one Kanjani8 single anywhere. Anyway, we talked a lot about what’s happening now. Feeling nostalgic about the past. Agreed that a lot of things have changed.

Walked around Kino a bit while waiting for Per to arrive. By then Xianglin had gone home.

We flipped through the latest issue of Kansai Walker to check out on natsu matsuri and the fireworks festival. After which, I had dinner at the omu rice stall AGAIN. Can’t get enough of it. She talked about the clips she downloaded of Kanjani8.

Went to Heeren to check if any shop sold the Pony shoes she wanted. Passed by Mise S*Clusive. Started talking to the salesgirl (Hiromi). She knows so much about Johnny’s artistes. I received the information I needed regarding the Johnny’s concerts. The 3 of us just talked on and on without realising that time was really flying past. Hurhur…actually it was more of her and Per talking while I’m just agreeing or disagreeing. *sheepish look*

By the time we actually stopped talking and left, it was past 11pm! We talked for like past an hour! But it feels good to talk about this kinda stuff so freely.

Laughed on the mrt about some message that was played in the station. Hahaha…coz she said that the tone often determines how people will react. Like if someone said “Earthquake!” in a terried and hurried tone, people will definitely scream and run. But if you changed to a calm tone, people won’t be as panicky. So we were thinking, what if the voice at the station said “The last train has just left. Good night and get lost. If you don’t go home, it’s not my business.” And I added “Otherwise you can jump off the platform.” Per added “Always wanted to fly?” I added “Now’s your chance. Good luck!” I think if I heard that, I’ll be shocked for a moment and then start laughing uncontrollably.

and masuda is sunshine boy

by

Haha, I don’t think the subject and this entry goes hand in hand but it’s for fun. It’s like a continuation of subject titles from the last post.

Why is Masuda, sunshine boy? Just look at all the PVs and concerts with him. He’s always smiling away. Per says she doesn’t know what he’s so happy about. Hahaha.

Anyway, I can use my computer till the wee hours of the morning again. Weeeeeeeeeeeeee…

Oh oh…and HAPPY BIRTHDAY NAD!

Kanjani8’s 浪花いろは節 is stuck in my head now. It sounds so traditional…traditional matsuri song. *chants* Sora! Yoi to ko sassa no yoi sassa!

the guys and girls

by

Hurhur, I think I kinda ditched the idea to blog about my trip. Nothing much to say except that stuff was cheap, food was salty and oily and we visited a lot of temples and so-and-so’s house from the past.

Thursday, Sis and I celebrated Joyce’s birthday at Sushi Tei in Paragon. After dinner, we went to Mise S*Clusive. AGAIN. And AGAIN, I couldn’t resist the charm of Masuda and NewS. Let’s just say I’m planning to stay home for the next 1-2 weeks.

Yesterday, watched Madagascar with Sis, Desmond and Desmond’s sister, Michelle. It was a hilarious cartoon. “I like to move it, move it. You like to move it, move it. I like to move it, move it. You like to…MOVE IT!”

Met up with Xiu Wei, Cas, Don, Raynor, Chee Wee, Zhihao, Albin, Clare and Yingwei to celebrate Raynor’s and Clare’s birthday. Went to this little restaurant in Clarke Quay. After which, we sat around at a bar to talk while the guys drank.

While Raynor was driving some of us home, the whole guys and girls thing popped up. Yingwei said that if a guy is driving and he gets lost, the girl shouldn’t ask “Are you lost?” coz it gets the guy mad. It’s the whole ego thing lahz. I think it’s like guys think when the girl asks like that, she’s like looking down on him or something? But in actual fact I think she’s just trying to help?

Another thing that was discussed during 7ners chalet. When there’s a problem, the guy would want to sweep it under the rug, the further the better. Until one day when the problem snowballs into a mountain then we’ll talk about it. Whereas the girl would want to solve it now so it doesn’t repeat. And they finally discuss it, the guy would think that the girl is just getting so heated up over a small matter. But the girl is like thinking “What small matter?! Get yourself in this mess still dare say!”

That’s the difference between guys and girls. Perhaps guys should get down from their little pedestal once in a while. It’s not always about you and your ego. Girls should…well, just be more understanding that guys will always have their pride.

Like how one of the contestants in Miss Universe said, guys lack sensitivity.

One more thing CJ mentioned, both guys and girls tend to want to talk emotional stuff with girls.

more NewS

by

*sing-song voice* genki…yuki…koyama. *frowns and begins all over* genki…yuki…masuda. *smiles*

This has become the associative few words whenever NewS is mentioned. I remembered vaguely that it was in the first NewS vcd. Then Per kept reciting it at the chalet. And now it’s permanently stuck in my head. It was only about a week ago that I discovered the phrase was in NewS’ “NEWS Nippon”. *big smack on forehead*

Also, commented on the J-music forums about my feelings after watching the dvd that came with NewS “Touch” album.

I need a translator desperately!

Heez…this is like another entry on NewS but I really can’t help it.

I know that it’s hard for people to understand my liking for Japanese stuff unless they like it too. That’s why I’m thankful that Sis and Per are big fans of Japanese stuff as well. So I can talk all this stuff and know that someone understands my liking.

I really want to blog about my trip but everytime I find myself not having enough time to really sit down and think through. Partly coz computer time is now shared with Sis (until her computer is cleared out and reformatted) and partly coz my grandparents are around so we can’t hang around too long in the study room. They sleep early.
