so listen to the radio

by

Before I plunge into the day’s happenings, let me introduce the songs on my radio blog. *points to the left* I just added 4 more songs yesterday. =)

Marion Raven – Break You, currently one of my faves. This is my first favourite song of Marion. The whole album sounds a whole lot different from her M2M days. M2M was more pop-ish. Her solo album is more rock-ish. But whether it’s M2M or Marion Raven, I admire her talent.

Marion Raven – End Of Me, second favourite Marion song.

Lene Marlin – Story, this song is really very meaningful. I think it’s about a friend who has depression and committed suicide. Coz of how I see my own sister struggle with depression, this song holds a lot of meaning for me. It really reflects how other people look at them. I feel angry that people often treat them like aliens. Or worse still, pretend that they understand but totally don’t and in the end hurt them a lot more. This brings to the whole issue of me thinking that teachers never really cared. Whatever they said was more like empty promises. Fuck. If you really cared, Sis wouldn’t have broke down in school. If you really cared, students wouldn’t be committing suicide. I really felt bad at that time that coz I wasn’t in school (in SIP company), I couldn’t be there to help her. *gives dirty look at that DAMN FUCKING lecturer* All the talk about how you understood, YOU NEVER REALLY DID coz in the end, you turned round and blamed her instead.

Lene Marlin – Disguise, some lines in this song reflects how I truly feel at times. How I never really dared to show some parts of me to protect myself from getting hurt. From young, I learnt not to cry so that people wouldn’t bully me. But sometimes it’s tiring to keep this barrier up coz I know that sometimes I’m not that strong and really need to cry. It’s good now that I slowly accept these emotions, that it isn’t wrong to show them. To admit my weaknesses and that it isn’t something shameful to let people know of them.

NewS – Zutto, this is the sweetest song. I wrote in a previous diaryland entry on this song. Discussing about how it would be good to have a relationship where the 2 of us could walk hand in hand, not saying a word but yet know what each other is thinking. Just that simple…

NewS – Cherish, another nice NewS song. This song really sparked off my liking for NewS. =)

Mari Sasaki – The Cape Of Storms (Piano version), a song originally sung by Hyde. This piano version was in 下弦の月 (Last Quarter). The tune Chiaki played on the piano.

Kanjani8 – Osaka Rainy Blues, according to Per whose Japanese is way way better than mine, she says that this song is really sad. There is a strong usage of Kansaiben in it. Something like this person cannot forget and cannot go back to the way his relationship was…

Kanjani8 – Naniwa Iroha Bushi…*chants* Sora! Yoi to ko sassa no yoi sassa! A very matsuri-feel song. Good to listen now since it is the 夏祭 (summer festival) period in Japan. Will be going to Osaka in time for their summer festival. Wearing my æµ´è¡£ (summer kimono) and watching 花火 (fireworks) . Really can’t wait. Sort of like a once in a lifetime kinda experience. The PV for this song is really nice too. Uchi looks so cute doing the traditional dance hand actions. ^_^

Please listen to the songs. Hope you like them as much as I do~~~

Spent a rather eventful day. Getting a new hard drive to back up all the clips and PVs and what not. Space is never enough when you see how I, Sis and Per do our downloading. Haha. I assure you that you will look at this issue in a whole new light. Oh well, we met James at Sim Lim, needed some “expert” help. With that, Per and I got the 160GB internal hard drive.

Met Chien Ren’s brother coz he needed to get something changed as well. Had lunch at Amirans. A restaurant that Per recommended we go try.

Headed back to my house to install it in. Haha, James kept exclaiming that I’m an IT student coz I really had no idea what he was doing when I’m supposed to know coz I went through FCSOS. HAHA…see I told you guys I’m not smart. I think the main reason why I don’t remember this stuff is coz school labs are like ineffective for me. Usually you pair up to do this kinda stuff and since the guys are like experts in this, most of the time they do up everything. There is never enough time to actually fiddle around with the stuff. Secondly, Mum will not be too pleased to see me fiddling with my own computer. Well, she DID pay for the computer. Although I think this is the best way for me to learn. To have someone beside me who knows this stuff…then I can try out this combination or that, or just ask why do I have to do it this way and what does this do. Right now, the inside looks just like a mass of wires and itty bitty chippy things. God knows what is what.

It’s really like how I learnt to use the VCR…all the functions and stuff. I watch Dad fix it up, read the manual, fiddle around and then go “oh, so this function does this”.

After dinner, the 3 of us went over to Per’s house to help her install the hard drive as well. I guess she is damn happy now coz then she can download more Honjani episodes and all those Kanjani8 clips without having to worry about the lack of space.

I just realised that time passes really quickly and I have barely started doing what I proposed to do before it is time to get a job.

WHY IS THE MASSU SITE STILL DOWN?! Now I am stuck with only ONE FREAKIN’ EPISODE of Kinpachi Sensei.

o tanjoubi omedetou!!!

Per asked why I never write any birthday wishes for Massu. Ok then, here goes…

Wishing Massu a wonderful and blessed birthday. May you always be that sunshine-y. Keep smiling. Stay healthy *even when that lousy Johnny Kitagawa is trying to overwork you…grrrr*. Please don’t learn to smoke or else my impression of you will just go *piang*. Have fun!
[edited]

This is a MUST ok…

増田さんおたんじょびおめでとう!!! *sorry, I only know hiragana…HAHAHA*

Massu is 19 today!!! *claps*

Japan is one hour ahead of us…

Since it is also Jin’s birthday…

赤西さんおたんじょびおめでとう!

asunaro ginga

by

Omg. Sonim’s “Asunaro Ginga” PV is so sad.

She plays a blind girl in the PV. One day on the street, she slips but is caught by a passer-by, a kind-hearted boy. She gives him a little knitted bunny. Slowly they build a friendship. He’s running away from the bad guys who are after whatever is in this bag that he carries.

One day, they meet at the park. She passes to him some documents, telling him that she is going for an operation. She tries to touch his face but he pushes her away. Coz he has been beaten up by the bad guys so there are bumps and bruises.

They agree to meet again when her operation is over. Her operation is successful. She waits for him. He holds a small bouquet of flowers, happily walking to go meet her. Suddenly, someone briefly passes by him. A shocked look on his face and he falls down to the ground. He has been stabbed. He dies.

She just continues to wait for him…

It’s really really sad coz she doesn’t even know he’s dead. Doesn’t even know what he looks like…

search for the aho pic

by

[edited at 4.17am]
The search for the aho-est pic of Ryuhei is off? Coz I have found one and made the avatar already. It’s now my msn pic. HAHAHA. But of course, if you can find a more aho pic than what I have, feel free to let me know. Thanks. HAHAHA.
[edited]

Kinda settled Sis’s computer. Finally. Settling this kinda thing is really taxing on my brain and patience.

Well, well, well. Itching to make a new avatar for msn. Looking for the aho-est pic of Ryuhei. Actually I found a pic already. But if someone manages to find a more aho pic of him, do let me know. Why is he an aho? Coz Subaru says so. HAHAHA.

Anyway, a very interesting short conversation happened between Per and I yesterday. Hmmmm…actually this morning at 5.30am. And it’s interesting just coz of one line Per said. Ok, fine. It’s INTERESTING TO ME.

Me: I had to come back online to tell you something.
Per: Ooh…something important? About you? About me?
Me: Massu went on Recomen.
Per: Oh haha about Massu.
Me: And Yoko made fun of him for 3 hours. Haha.
Per: HAHAHA wth! You come online to tell me this!
Per: OF COURSE YOKO WILL MAKE FUN OF HIM!
Per: It’s YOKO!!!
Per: I thought you koonz le.
Per: My dear…you really high damn easily. Just need to mention “MASSU”.
Me: Coz I was trying to find a really AHO pic of Ryuhei.
Per: What! Hahahahahaha…
Me: Then can make avatar.
Per: GOT GOT. Got perverse one. lol.
Me: …
Per: The way his eyes look lah. So eeeeee
Me: Anyway you go read her diary. Haha.
Per: *hugs* I’ll find an aho pic of Maru for you.
Me: Haha.
Per: Ok ok gdnites.
Me: Haha nitez.

In case you’re getting confused here. Massu is the guy on my banner. *points up* Recomen is a radio programme that’s hosted by Kanjani8 Yoko and Hina. Yoko is Yokoyama Yu from Kanjani8. Hina is Shingo Murakami from Kanjani8. Hina is just a nickname. Ryuhei and Maru are one and the same person, Maruyama Ryuhei from Kanjani8. Aho is a Japanese expression for calling someone stupid…something like baka but not quite the same. Per says that Kansai people usually use aho more than baka? And the diary I’m talking about is the webmistress of this Kanjani8 fansite’s blog.

the official first entry

by

[edited at 2.36pm]
I know I have to back up my entries at diaryland but I’m feeling so lazy. It is a long process. I only managed to back up half of January 2004’s entries last night. And I realised that the page gets really long coz the space for the entries is small. Grrr…
[edited]

This is where I post my (so-called) first official entry. Ok…with Word Press that is.

Actually I’m not exactly in a good mood now coz I’m trying to reformat Sis’s computer, half wondering why that freaking thing takes so damn long to load and half tolerating the irritating sister.

Still in the midst of backing up my old entries at diaryland. They are too dear to just let go. About a year and more of entries…can’t bear to see it all go. Coz they ARE a part of me. Diaryland was down last night after I finished most of the layout here so I couldn’t start on it.

Today, I have to get busy with Sis’s computer. And I realise I have no freaking patience with “computer idiots”. All they do is sit there, complain till thy kingdom come that there’s a problem and someone’s gotta fix it. C’mon, I ain’t no expert but I try all I can to help myself ok. Whether be it looking up the net for articles and help or actually finding where I can get some expert’s help.

This just doesn’t sound good for a first entry but what the hell…

Did you see that? The “Hello World!” entry is GONE! Nyahahahahahaha… It was just a test entry…which some of you went to comment on. Haha… Ok ok, I’m sorry. Just re-comment?

the last entry

by

I guess this should be my so-called last entry in diaryland. Since tomorrow is July already and I wanted to start afresh in my blog so that the archives wouldn’t be so messy.

Everything’s almost done there. I need to back up all my entries here and transfer them there. Certain links have to be done up as well.

I’m thinking of adding my list of PVs and songs for people to request for download. Having been getting lots of stuff off people’s sites so it’s time I contribute something.

Wanted to blog yesterday but diaryland was down. Watched “Initial D” with James. It was also to get back my router. Many thanks to him for helping me run down to the company to get it checked.

Haha…now I know why Ling said the female lead’s voice is irritating. Coz it is irritating. The voice-over for Suzuki Anne is horrible. I don’t understand why just coz she’s a female, she has to have a darn high pitched voice. It’s the same for anime. Sometimes it’s so unnaturally high.

Anyway, there should be a part 2 for the movie. Haha…

The Massu site is down. Darn. Now I only have the first episode of Kinpachi Sensei. Per knows that I get high when I manage to download something with Massu in it. HAHAHA. Of course…it’s like how she gets that high feeling when she downloads something with Ryo or Kanjani8. But I must agree that Honjani episodes seem really funny where you’ll just laugh your head off. Judging from the translations and screencaps on this website that Per found.

away for the weekend

by

Realised I haven’t blog in awhile.

Was away in Ipoh for the weekend. Per’s mum couldn’t go so they had a spare bus ticket. I was quite surprised that Mum allowed me to go. This is after all my first trip with a friend.

The whole bus ride there, Per and I were the only ones awake and talking. Haha…

Didn’t buy anything there for myself. Although I did see a pair of shoes but pity they didn’t have my size. Well, ok I did. Just some munchies for the family.

Oh shucks! I just realised I haven’t called Singtel to cut off the auto-roaming for my handphone.

Anyway, I’m busy working my main blog page. More or less everything up. Just a bit more and the total backup of all my blog entries here.

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.
