normal person

by

Just read Nino’s Jweb entry at Binan no Nikki. He expressed his wish to watch his own movie as a normal audience. Like a normal person going to watch a movie… That’s cool. Watching your own performance from the angle of a normal person then deciding whether you did a good job or not.

Reminds me of how Sly went to the SuperBand recording to support Lucify. Going there with a friend status to support his friends. Not wanting to attract attention to himself, he sat at the second level. Who knew, the fans readily pointed out his “hiding” place. Hahaha…I can just imagine him cringing and having the -_-||| feeling. *sigh* But that’s the downside of being a star. You sort of lose your privacy. It’s like suddenly everyone’s interested in the little things you do. I bet the media will even be interested as to how one brushes his teeth.

Ah. The bathroom calls me…

japanese artiste coming to town

by

Argh. Aikawa Nanase is coming to Singapore for some Singapore Arts Festival activity at Fort Canning but it’s not free admission. Damnit. $25. I’m not going to pay that much just to see her. It’s a programme with other artistes as well. Not that I’m a big fan of hers but at least she’s a Japanese artiste whom I know of. :glare:

Went to the airport to keep Per company as she waited for her parents to arrive home. Her mum gave her the wrong info so she was there too early. We had dinner at Pasta Fresca. I was a tad disappointed coz the pasta was just so-so.

Nothing much to blog about now. Bloop bloop bloop…*bounces away*

the mm connection

by

MM as in Morning Musume.

I was asked to do this first.

See the connection? If you don’t…*psst…h-a-i-r*

So Sis went round sending it to people. And I got the second request. From Misaki.

Somehow, I feel this one was done much better. I don’t know from where I dug out that much patience working on it at 4am in the morning. You know, I really should spend that much time on a layout. This Berryz Koubou one wasn’t done nicely. The blending seems to be quite odd. :glare:

I just watched 2 AAA lives for their new song “ハリケーン・リリ，ボストン・マリ”. I couldn’t help but think that if only 夏日风 were half as good, maybe they would stand a chance. I remember the judges saying that their dance seemed to be out-of-place and not nicely choreographed. Maybe they should learn a thing or two from AAA. AAA’s dance moves aren’t too complicated but they still leave a powerful impact as a youth group. They probably make the older generation go “あぁ～～良いな。。。青春～～”

I don’t like Shinjiro’s look in the new song though. I still like his look from “Dragon Fire”…

Almost forgot…it’s Raynor’s birthday! お誕生日おめでとう!!! 

backtrack

Too caught up in my thoughts and the recent SuperBand fever that I’ve left out quite a few things.

  1. Haven’t visted JpopMusic forums for a long long time.
  2. Forget to visit Binan no Nikki and friends’ blogs.
  3. Haven’t blogged on certain things.
  4. Haven’t made screenshots from Kanjani8 Spirits! dvd.

Point 1. I’m trying hard not to go there too coz there’s just too many temptations there. Too many things to download. Still haven’t cleared out my harddrive. I’m seriously lagging behind. Haven’t even downloaded the new dramas. Bleargh.

Point 2. I somehow forget to check on Binan no Nikki. Always end up having to go back at least 2-3 pages to read the entries. Ryo and Tacchon went to watch Da Vinci Code. So cool~~~ And I haven’t watched it. Shige talks about English and Computer class. He has bad luck manz. The computer he uses always hangs while he’s doing his quiz. I had a really bad thought. Imagine him getting the blue screen of death one of these days. Muahahahahaha… Friends’ blogs aren’t that bad…coz there’s usually not much to catch up.

Point 3. Fancy me talking about wanting to blog about Xiuwei’s party. Actually I don’t really have the mood to blog about it anymore. And I actually missed out with all the birthday wishes. So whoever I haven’t wished in my blog yet. Happy belated birthday to you guys! May all your dreams come true. 🙂

Point 4. Meant to make a screenshot of aho Maru in his “aunty” costume. To make an avatar out of it. Need to get it done soon so I can return the dvd to Per. By the way, Per, is my Summary concert vcd with you? Or is it just somewhere (lost) in my house? Can’t seem to find it.

Recently, my posters are all falling off the door/wall/cupboard. First it was my S.H.E poster, then the Arashi one, then the Ayu , and just yesterday, the Eriko one. It’s a sign that it’s high-time I change them. The plastic is all warped already. The big Ayu A Ballads poster on the wall just above my bed decided to drop in the middle of the night. Thank God it made a noise loud enough to wake me up before it actually dropped. Imagine waking up to an Ayu poster covering my face. But I don’t really want to change the plastic and all that coz it won’t be long before we move. So there’s no point at all. Maybe I’ll just change the blu-tack.

Just visited the SuperBand blogs. I must say that people can be quite stupid. Yes, it takes some guts to post a not-so-nice sounding comment. But please consider what might follow. Say your not-so-nice comment in blog A (belonging to a not-so-good group), that’s still ok considering the number of other people who are also posting their not-so-nice comments. But if you go post your not-so-nice comment in blog B (belonging to a popular group), I think you’re just digging your own grave. Simply coz the number of fans outnumber you and I don’t think the fans are just going to take all your “valuable” comments sitting down.

Be smart. Post in your own blog. Like ME…HAHAHAHA… Coz it belongs to you so you more or less have full control. :laugh:

Ok…got to go now. Going to watch X-Men…lalala…

relak one corner

Everytime I watch the SuperBand results show, I can almost get a heart attack. Lucify seems to always get thrown into the “unconfirmed” group. And it doesn’t help that the stupid show keeps going on commercial breaks. The feeling is like pushing you off a cliff and then holding you back just before you actually fall off.

Anyway, 夏日风 is still in. Dots. Static. Whatever. WTF!!! Heard that they get backing from church. Isn’t that like that Jerry fella from Singapore Idol? Even the judges had that “WHAT?!” feeling when he kept getting through.

Thank goodness Lucify is still in. Can you imagine if they got kicked out again? Wah lau…it’ll be like playing ping-pong. Out, in, then out again. *CHOY! touches wood*

Out of sheer boredom (or maybe to celebrate Lucify’s success in this round), I decided to do something…

:woot: WOOT! I finally couldn’t stand it. Photoshopped the uncle out! *pumps fist in the air* To match Kel’s level of nonsense humour, I added the words and the kira kira. HAHAHA…new talkshow on the block. WOOHOO!

Another thing, I find the bassist of Amber, Butter looks like he just walked out of a Digimon episode. To prove it…I found a picture of a character from Digimon…

Butter looks like him right? People said he looks like Naruto. Looks more like this character lorz. Ain’t I a genius to have figured it out? :laugh:

retired idol chaser

by

I probably scared off the spammers with my previous post since I logged in to find…NO SPAM COMMENTS! :rofl: Hallelujah!

Have I passed the phase of idol chasing? Getting the adrenaline rush when queuing up and then seeing my idols. Or is it simply coz I’m not a big fan of the people I’m supposed to be there for? Now, I’m half expecting someone to scream “THEN WHY THE HELL WERE YOU THERE FOR?!” in my face. But I must say, it’s kinda nostalgic doing this all over again. When was the last time I actually did this kinda thing? 2 years ago?

Thinking again, no…I don’t think I’ve really passed that phase. Hell, if it were a JE boy now…Massu, I’ll probably queue up overnight or something. I think it just depends who is it now…

So, I’ve been rambling on and on without getting to the point. The point is…I went to a SuperBand recording (on the pretext of supporting Lucify). Don’t get me wrong here. I do support them since they are sort of related to Japanese music. How related? Ermz…it’s quite a long story and I don’t have the mood to explain now. But anyway, I’m not like a big fan or anything. Unlike Sis who’s laughing really LOUD behind me now…chatting with her friends (fellow fans of Lucify) on MSN. You can call me a…sidelines supporter?

Yes, I did scream to support Lucify while holding Vics name board. It’s only appropriate to do so. It gives the performers encouragement to do well. They enjoy, you enjoy. But it’s not like I’m going to go all doki doki if Vics saw me holding his name board and smiled at me. If Massu did that to me…it’s a different story. *slaps myself…ya…dream on* Yea…so now you get the idea of how much of a fan I am.

After the recording, waited around to take photos with the guys. Again…Sis being the one more excited ok… They appear. A million other people zoom in on them. Ermz…so now we wait?

While waiting…

Then we got to it…

Fanservice…100% :laugh: I must explain the weirdness of having a guy stick his face so close to mine. That’s coz even my poly guy friends don’t do that. So just not used to it ne? And it sucks being short. Coz everyone has to freakin’ bend down when taking photos with me just to match the level of my face. Damnit. :angry:

Here comes the highlight of the day. Sis, Carol and I had supper with Kel. :whistle: Looks can be deceiving. He looks scary and fierce but he’s really not at all scary. Quite a funny person. Talk about 人不可貌相。

So…I guess everyone’s first impression of me is…Elisia is quiet. Damnit. I seem to give everyone that impression. Even my tuition friends said this of me back when I was having tuition in secondary school. Ok, fine. I am quiet. But only towards people I don’t really know. Just ask Per…she’ll tell you when I’m being high over Massu.

I mean…the only options I have probably are:
a) talk something wise/funny and end up the wise/funny topic is only something I can understand. The rest are all going *blink blink* Haha…NOT.
b) hold a conversation totally in Mandarin. I swear I will see question marks popping out above your head. I’m quite comfortable conversing in English…thank you very much.
c) find any topic to talk about. My brain probably runs on 56kbps. Plainly, I’m not skilled in this area. Unlike Sis…
d) remain silent but laugh and have at least a little input at the right moments. So…ME.
e) tune out. I’M NOT RUDE OK!!!

To summarise everything. I’m probably not going to another SuperBand recording. Probably just support Lucify from the sidelines. Go, Lucify~~~GO~~~ *echo: go where? I don’t know~~~* HAHAHAHA… Ok…not funny. But really, ganbatte ne!

Now, with everything said. Should I prepare myself of getting bashed up again? This time by a million Lucify fans?

yoso wa yoso, uchi wa uchi

“他所は他所　家は家!!!”

I bet my mum would have said that if she was Japanese. Hina says this line in a very おばちゃん manner at the beginning of “∞SAKAおばちゃんROCK”. It sounds so funny. Direct translation: “Somewhere else is somewhere else, home is home!!!” Per said it’s probably a common saying for mums when they scold their kids. Like when their kids always come home late.

Oh…I have quite a few things to blog about. From the previous entry, the meme that made me so high… Haha…some people should know why. Give you a hint…Ma___. :woot: It was a meme rin-chan posted in the forum.

MY RESULTS 
Who do you like: Massu :heart:
Who likes you: Shige
Where will you meet the one you like: KFC (Why am I not surprised? KFC = food = Massu) :rofl:
Who do you marry: Shige
Who loves you for real: Shige
What is your ending: have twins

The first line already made me go “AKIRA SHOCK!”

Second, Tacchon’s birthday. HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY, TACCHON! Per and I met up with Cindi and Julia again to celebrate Tacchon’s birthday on Tuesday. They couldn’t find a green cake again. Some explanation here…light green is Tacchon’s ranger colour. We ended up ordering desserts that were green in colour. With one exception, the red bean ice-cream which has a kanji (小倉) that almost looks like Tacchon’s surname (大倉).


Red bean ice-cream, some green tea mousse (can’t really remember the name of it) and warabi mochi with green tea ice-cream

The green tea mousse came with this cage-like cover…

After the dinner, I went to meet Sis at the airport to welcome Yui and Ryoko back from their trip to Japan. Haven’t read their report on the KAT-TUN concert which they went to watch.

Today, went to ktv with Sis and Per. Cash Studio at Apollo Centre. Good place if you want to sing Japanese songs coz they have this whole book of Japanese songs, almost phonebook thick. I think the only bonus for me, the one being the worst at Japanese, were the NewS songs. We were singing NEWSニッポン and 希望～Yell～ so loudly. :laugh: I can only manage songs that I have partly memorised or have lyrics almost all in hiragana and must be pretty slow coz I read pretty slowly. Which is why Per has been “reprimanding” me that I should go study Japanese. Too lazy lahz…hehe…

Oh. Mum just called me to go bathe. Shall end here. Thanks Per for sending me the radio rip of “∞SAKAおばちゃんROCK”. It goes on repeat mode everytime I listen to it. :rofl:

Buay song = (hokkien) don’t feel good / not happy

Lucify lost this round of Super Band. To make things worse, they lost to 夏日风. WTF!!! 夏日风 can’t sing or dance. THEY ARE the weakest link. They should be the ones getting kicked out. Other groups/bands are improving each week but 夏日风 is still of the same standard since they joined the competition. :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry:

WAH LAU…was doing this meme…made me so high. Then I have to hear this kinda news. No mood liaoz.

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY KIMI-KUN!!!

Was supposed to meet Per to go to the Japanese dolls exhibition but the bad weather spoilt everything. And I was late. Then we couldn’t get a cab coz of the bad weather so in the end, Per, Cindi and I went to Uma Uma Men.

Cindi’s friend, Julia joined us later and we spent the whole evening just talking about JE boys…especially Kanjani8…it being Yoko’s birthday and all. By the time we actually left the place, it was already 10pm. Cindi really wanted to have some Yoko birthday cake so we went hunting for cakes – specifically green cakes coz that’s Yoko’s colour. But as you know, all cake shops are closed by that time. Then we saw this ice-cream shop still open and thought “why not have green ice-cream instead?”

Told the girl to press down 3 scoops of ice-cream into the cup so the surface is flat. Asked for some chocolate sauce to write Yoko’s name but the nozzle wasn’t a fine one so it came out pretty splotchy. Thank God for Photoshop coz I decided to make it look better…hehe…

 

   

So I guess the day didn’t go that great coz…

  1. I was late.
  2. Bad weather
  3. Bad weather = lack of cabs
  4. Bad weather = lack of cabs = can’t go to the exhibition
  5. Couldn’t get green cake coz it was so late already.
  6. I forgot and left my umbrella in Uma Uma Men.

I was replaying the day’s events in my head while in the shower. Per trying desperately to flag down a cab. Us trying to be sheltered under my umbrella while running across the road. Wait a minute…pause thoughts. My umbrella. Shit. I’ll hate to part with my beloved umbrella coz I love its colour – light green. I asked Mum to get me a uniquely coloured umbrella after someone mistakenly took my previous silver umbrella at my then-workplace and she got me this one. 🙁

PS: You can see that this entry isn’t well-written. But that’s coz I’m tired… :sleep:

never be the same

by

I updated my version of WordPress. I’m actually quite proud of myself that I managed to do something without having to consult Nad. Well…that is if nothing weird pops up these few days…

I was waiting for the last day of April to come but suddenly it’s May. Coz 30th April means the end of NewS’ concerts and the beginning of their hiatus. There have been many reports of the last day of the tour. Even before they performed at their last venue, there was big news. While the area was being constructed, some speakers fell from the top and hit a female worker’s head. Thank God it was just serious injury (DUH! 32kg on your head) and not fatal. I think NewS had better consult some feng shui master. Bad luck seems to be following them ever since they debuted. First, Moriuchi got kicked out. Then, Uchi got suspended. Then, Kusano’s incident. Then, the announcement of their hiatus. Now, this. *sigh*

Listening to “Dreams” will never be the same again. Ryo changed the lyrics while singing it at the concert. Shige changed the lyrics as well. Massu and Tego both cried when they were singing their duet. 7 months seems like a long time. But we will wait for their return. 😥 Hopefully by the time they return, NewS will be the full 8 member unit.

Ahhhhh…I just realised I forgot to wish Xianglin. Coz we celebrated her birthday on Saturday so it totally slipped off my mind. ごめなさい! So here’s wishing Koyama (1st May) and my best friend (2nd May) a very happy belated birthday! May all your dreams come true!!! Side note: That’s why I need the calendar to remind me. Haven’t got a fantastic memory. :glare:
