the future in my hands

by


I am now officially a polytechnic graduate.

No way am I going to get discounted bus rides anymore. Actually I am aware that I’m paying the full adult fare now since the beeping sound has changed from the usual “toot toot” to “beep” when I tap my card. This kinda sucks…

I couldn’t really sleep the night before. The whole time I was just worrying whether everything will be alright. Whether I would fall on stage and make myself the laughing stock of the whole cohort. I seriously didn’t want history to repeat itself. Coz back during secondary school graduation, I tripped over a power point on stage and kinda lost balance. Although I didn’t fall, I felt darn embarassed.

I couldn’t really smile when the photographers took my picture. So nervous…just wanted to get it done with without making any mistakes.

And then it was over. *phew*

Oh…didn’t blog about yesterday’s dinner. Met up with the 7ners for dinner. It was supposed to be Pwen’s farewell dinner coz she’ll be leaving for Australia soon for further studies. We went to Sofra, a turkish restaurant recommended by Soffie and Up. The fish was really good.

Then we hung out at TCC at Bugis while waiting for a very late Jo to arrive. She was stuck at work. As usual, all the jokes and talk. Uncovering some secrets…which Up has pleaded with us not to blog about it. Haha…

Oh! Per! *raises hand* I want to see the Popolo magazine as well. Hmmm…but you have to translate for me. Haha…

Haven’t watched the news for awhile. There’s this big hoo-ha going on about NKF. HAH! Knew this was coming. Apparently the CEO of NKF has a pay packet + bonus of more than a million dollars? Which makes the public think where the hell their donated money is going. And recently they have been holding lots of charity shows with the claim that they have now extended their help to cancer patients and children. Like my gawd, how the hell do you expect us to keep donating to you? Money does not grow from trees neither does it fall from the sky you know. In a year we have like over 10 charity shows, I don’t even have enough money to spend on myself.

Hello…why the hell do you need gold-plated taps for your washbasin?

And then you go do stupid things like this. Then people lose their trust in you. And who suffers in the end? All the patients have to suffer. Even if you lose the case, you probably just lose a few million and then get your sorry ass out of NKF. But the patients? What are they going to do now that people are withdrawing their pledge to donate money? And you can’t blame people for doing that coz they geniunely want to help but you toyed with their trust. So now it has become a “once bitten, twice shy” situation.

that ugly icon

by

I don’t know what happened but my Microsoft Outlook icon on the desktop has suddenly changed into the most horrendous one.

It looks like this.

DO NOT tell me to right click and click on properties coz it is NOT a shortcut. I get mail setup instead.

How can I live with such an ugly icon on my desktop?!

mtv/pv list

by

The mtv/pv list is done. Under “Fun”. I didn’t know I had that many mtvs/pvs until I listed them out and took a look. Haha…mostly Japanese.

Next to sort out would be CMs. Tons to be renamed.

I sorted out Sis’s printer problems. You see, I couldn’t install it coz it needed the driver and I don’t know where the cd-rom went. Kinda procrastinated for awhile. So I fixed it once and for all. Yay for me.

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…
