the male ego

I hate it when releases are staggered and I can’t add items to my order or combine orders. 🙁

But…Per just made my day with her post.

Moral of the story: NEVER try using big words when you’re not sure of the meaning. At least, bother to check the dictionary first. If not, you’re bound to make a fool out of yourself.

To Mr Jack Kass: You just angered at least half of the female population. I’m waiting for a lady to reply “wait long long” and totally humiliate you. Hahaha…so much for your male ego. :laugh:

some memorable clips

New PV for Berryz工房’s “付き合っているのに片思い”。Judging from the PV set, I expected the song to be a nice slow one. Nope, it wasn’t. Doesn’t quite match and the song isn’t really that impressive. Tsunku is obviously being very biased. How come Risako gets so much screen time? I would have preferred seeing Miyabi more. Then, there are some odd scenes of them floating and looking so much like ghosts.

I’m high! Why? NewS lahz…what else would make me high? :laugh: The Russ-K CM… The sexy Osaka man (Ryo) looks the coolest in the CM. Isn’t Per pleased to know that? :laugh:

I missed Aho Maru’s “yatta pon~~~” so I searched for the clips and found them! :laugh:

Oh…and Aho Maru as an obachan. It’s absolutely hilarious. :laugh:

heavenly days

It’s the song for 恋空… Even the song is emotional. Really got to watch the movie and cry buckets. The PV is not that great but at least it has scenes from the movie which makes it a little more entertaining. The trailer for the movie is a few posts down and if you need a writeup of the story aka spoiler, it’s under the cut.

目覚ましが鳴る前に起きて時を止める
思い出せるのはもうなんとなくだけど君の事
一億分の君に会えた奇跡なんかも
いつの間にか忘れちゃうかな?
忘れた事さえもきっと忘れてしまうの

heavenly days
胸のポケットの部屋
君の消えたぬくもりを探すよ
もう二度と君を想うことはなくても
まだ少し暖かいあの日々に鍵をかけて

歩きつかれて座り込んで途方にくれて
叶わない夢『運命』とかふたりなら言えた
改札口で言えなかった言いたかった
「ありがとう」って言葉は多分
「さよなら」よりも悲しい言葉に思うの
                       
heavenly days
うまく笑えてたかな?
最後のキスシーン震える君の手を
握れなかった涙さえ落ちなかった
一人ぽっちになり今さら溢れ出すよ

heavenly days
胸のポケットの部屋
君の消えたぬくもりを探すよ
もう二度と君を想うことはなくても
手を伸ばしてみてもここにはもう居ないよ
                      
新しい光の下歩き出すよ

thoughts on a sunday morning

I can almost hear myself scream “fuck, I wanna bathe!” I feel grimy as I sit in my chair, trying very hard to concentrate on the Psychology text I’m reading. Half the time I’m thinking of having a nice hot bath coz I’m feeling a little cold. It doesn’t help that it’s raining outside which lowers the temperature further.

I learnt at about 10+pm that there’s no hot water coz there’s some trouble with the Champaign power plant. The hot water is supposed to be back by about 4-5 hours. I can feel myself almost desperate to the point that I wish I had a huge pail where I can boil water and fill it for bathing. Hahaha, I remember the times when we had those emergency exercises where they cut the water supply for almost a day. My nanny would boil water and fill pails before they cut off the water supply so we could all still have a bath. How smart, although it was totally off the point of the emergency exercise in the first place.

Stupid Sis said I could bathe quickly with cold water. That’s absurd. Hello, I’m not in Singapore where the temperature outside is 20+ degrees. It’s about 1-2 degrees outside, no joke ok. You want me to fall sick ar? (Which is kinda stupid coz I’m supposed to not fall sick after taking that flu shot.)

Alright, I’m going to check whether the hot water’s back now.

*after 5 minutes of running off to check the showers*

!#$#%^#&*^%$%$#^

:angry: KNS!!! WHAT THE HELL ARE THE PEOPLE DOING! STILL NO HOT WATER!!! :angry:

Don’t you dare tell me to calm down and not bathe. I will blardee slap the daylights out of you. I CANNOT don’t bathe. :angry: It’s disgusting ok.

thoughts on a saturday afternoon

Letting your door slam shut 1-2 times in 5 minutes is accidental. 2-3 times is still tolerable. 5-6 times is inconsiderate. That says a lot about my next door neighbour. Although it was 10am and I ought to be up, I slept at 5am so can’t I get some more peace and quiet to sleep a little longer?

love sky

I really really wanna watch 恋空! It seems like it’s one of those very emotional movies. I need to watch something that will make me cry.

Here’s the trailer…

[kml_flashembed movie="http://www.youtube.com/v/ytiUu21xb5Y" width="400" height="325" wmode="transparent" /]

But, it just sucks coz I’m sure the Japanese dvd release will not have English subtitles. Unless Cathay shows it, then there will be a local dvd release with the English subtitles. Else, I can just wait for someone to rip it out, subtitle it, and upload it.

MM’s new pv is out. I :heart: Ai-chan’s short hair! Ermz…I don’t quite get it why the title of the song is “みかん”. What has it got to do with oranges?

I can’t stand Koharu. She has this very kiam pak face. Even the pandas are more tolerable.

saltimbanco

Was a little upset at first that I had to miss a karaoke session with the J-Net Fashion Show Yukata group people. I really really want to go to ktv, but I already paid for my ticket to watch Cirque du Soleil’s Saltimbanco.

Well, paying $55 was definitely worth it! I enjoyed the show even though I was watching it by myself.

Anyway, about the fashion show, I managed to get myself out of doing the para para. :laugh: *phew* So currently, I’m just going to be walking down the catwalk in yukata and lolita outfits.

new layout in the making

[edited @ 8.11pm]
Back from the fashion show meeting. Now, for the little introduction on the new layout. I’ve been wanting to do a layout featuring Olivia for quite some time but never had the time or inspiration. All the time, I was just searching for images to blend. Blending, blending, blending…that was all I had in mind. Until last night, I was looking through all the images I collected and suddenly, the idea came into mind.

I initially wanted the header to be sort of like a wave, but halfway through the designing, I changed it. Well, I really don’t know what else to say, but this layout was designed according to how I felt when I was listening to Olivia’s “Color Of Your Spoon”.

[edited @ 5.29pm]
It’s up and running! I still have one or two little things to tweak with the code but other than that, it’s fine now. I will do a little introduction later, but for now, do give some comments! :laugh:

Oh, oh! If you noticed, the background changes colour with every refresh of the page. Surprise~~~ :heart:
[/edited]

I am mighty pleased with myself. I started to design a new blog layout while I was writing the introduction for my Rhet paper. After I went for the fashion show meeting, I thought I wouldn’t have time to complete the designing coz I would be spending the rest of the night working on the introduction for my Rhet paper. Turns out, I finished it faster than I thought and I could continue designing.

I completed the design! It’s rather late now so I’ll leave the coding bit for later. So happy~~~ :heart:
