Having a blog here is not too bad either. Live Journal allows the user to do some customisation to their website layout which I found it neat and organised. Angelia had once recommended me to start off with Blogger, but I wanted my blog to be as discrete as possible. The thought of having too many unrelated people reading my blog is pretty repelling.

I had actually wanted to make this blog private, but I have other friends who have no Live Journal accounts at all and I wanted to continue to keep in touch with them. Hence I have made this blog open to public. However if you peeps wanted to hear my personal grumbling and other unpleasant comments I made (which I doubt anybody is interested anyway), please create a Live Journal account. I would only ramble on all the pleasant things to the public.

Also, unlike to the Geocities account whereby I go to get a Shoutbox, I would have people comment to each and individual entry. This seems to be so much more organised. Comments are highly rated and appreciated, as usual, so start comment away! If you wish you can make your comment private to me as well, so my other friends would not be able to see what you have written :)

In a nutshell, this blog is...

Blog: Starts from 23 July 2009

All future updates will be in Live Journal. Please take note.

Thanks a million for visiting!!!!

Haha~ Too bad to say, but NEWS and Tegomass are not there. I mean NEWS and Tegomass are good, but not to THAT standard... yet...

And surprise surprise? Most of the singers that I think are really good are ladies? But they are really good! Looking at Olivia Lufkin's MV really makes me want to start drawing all over again.

I've sitted for two papers. The first paper on Taxation is a big mess. Taxation is the last paper that I want to fail, because if I fail, not only I have to re-study the whole thing over again, most of the contents would be different because of the tax rules that varies due to government policies every year. Argh~ I hope I can pass that...

The second paper that is taken today is Corporate and Companies Law. Passing it should not be a problem, but it is definately scary though during the exams whereby there is so much to write that my writing hand just froze by itself halfway through the exams.

In conclusion, the examination is a test of your bladder tolerance. Not going to the toilet for at least 3.5 hours is horror. And by the time you have finished your exams you are going to fight with the rest of the girls population for a cubicle. I envy the boys na~ It is such a war everyday. I am getting sick of having to spend almost 10 hours outside just for the exams at EXPO HALL 1, in which the one-way travelling time itself takes one hour forty-five minutes or so.

Anyway I hope that tomorrow will be a better day. It is my third paper on Financial Accounting. Kampate!

Finished Orthos no Inu a few weeks ago. Tackey is still looking good! Ryo is really slim! In fact, I found him too slim for a man's build. Or maybe because Tackey has a wider chest? Seriously, Ryo should take more proteins and build up his muscles more. He should not put his looks to waste you know ;)

In general, I would grade the drama Orthos no Inu 3/5. It is really exciting and anticipating in the first two episodes, and then the anticipation gradually dies and becomes kind of draggy. I think it would probably be better if the two of them died. It would be more meaningful to the story - I mean ultimately, such people with extraordinary powers should not exist right?

There is quite a few scenes definately inspired by the movie "Silence of the Lambs" in which Tackey is Hannibal Lecter. This is especially evident in the prison scenes in episode one. Boo hoo~ I still prefer Mr. Hannibal Lecter. That atmosphere is not very appropriate for Tackey as it kinda exagerates the whole prison scene. Boo hoo~

The theme song wise is pretty good and catchy. I like =)

And then I watched Last Friends.

Last Friends has a much better and original story than Orthos no Inu. In the video above which is the opening OST of the drama has a label to each individual. The story very much revolved around that label. It is really tough to work on 5 individuals at the same time and not deviating from the individuals' labels and the story theme. And kudos especially to Ryo Nishikido, S.E.N.S., Utada Hikaru and Nagasawa Masami!

Ryo Nishikido - I think the who show would be pretty plain without him. He is the damn creepy and freakish character who loved his spouse so much but does not know how to love her. The moment Ryo died, I was thinking, "Gosh! The most interesting character from the story is now gone. The story should be now pretty plain." And it is very much so.

S.E.N.S. and Utada Hikaru - S.E.N.S made really nice melodies for the drama background, and Utada Hikaru is the singer of the theme song of Last Friends. Need I say more?

Nagasawa Masami - The role fit her very well. Everytime I saw her in the drama I was litereally scolding her as being the stupid woman who wanted to walk out of her comfort zone and back to her abusive boyfriend.

The story deserves a 4/5. It is less depressing than I thought, and it is so much fun watching Ryo's character doing all sorts of mental torture for his girlfriend.

Currently, I am watching First Love. The first episode kind of turned me off, but because of the psycho sister, I am going to give the drama another chance.

Overall, I think the older Japanese dramas have so much better plots than the stories that they have now. It is a joy to watch old Japanese dramas. So far, the best love drama that I've watched is Kamisama Mou Sukoshi Dake by Fukada Kyoko and Kaneshiro Takeshi. What more can you ask for in a drama with good plots, handsome lead actor, pretty lead actress and beautiful songs?

Okay! I shall just end my entry here! Good luck to me =P

starts...

TOMORROW!

Brace yourselves people!

This video makes me laugh so much! These two people are really the best of best friends.

And... the horrors is starting in 2 days time -_-

...

PATRICIA FIGHTING!

I guess that's all I wanna say... for now...

Recap of significant events with Serene!

Because we used to be poor students without cameras, I only have collections from 2007 onwards.

Taken on Hui Ying's 21st Birthday [14-7-2007 - Same as Ichigo's Birthday????]

Ah~ah~ Lucky Hui Ying was holding her 21st birthday party at the beach. This is one of the nicer photos that Hui Ying sent me. Haha~ Can I add that Esther looks hot? Muahahahaha~

I didn't talk much with Serene at that time. I was with Cecilia with practically 95% of the time. And I felt so apologetic towards Hui Ying for missing her candles-blowing session XO SO SAD!

Serene's 21st Birthday [2-12-2007]

That is an exact revenge against Hui Ying. Serene can be very mean (with reference to the above picture). Ha. Ha.

Serene's party is held in her own apartment at Sengkang. It's a really nice place full of young people living around the area. There are a lot of people present at the party and I was awfully over-dressed for the occasion *sweats* I loved the yam at the buffet! Oh! I haven't tasted any yam as good as that since her party! Really yummy!

Fanta Ponta Maniacs! [Unknown date]

Yea. We are crazy. We have a series of such modeling pictures for the Ponta bottle that was shown in this picture. It was the first time that I started to use my new camera and I'm glad that the quality of the photographs churned out by camera turns out to be so much better than expected.

Photograph taken at Central. All rights reserved.

Outside Esplanade [Unknown date]

Yea. That was the night after Serene and I catched "Koi Sora", and we were starting to act that out (again). A lot of the photographs turned out very blur because of the difficulties in getting the angles. However, the 'Death Notes' ones turned out pretty good. The above photo was taken at the 'Death Note' perspective, giving a scarily eerie feel. Do you feel the pressure?

Natsu Matsuri 2008 [19-08-2008]

The second Natsu Matsuri I went, but the first time that I wore my yukata there. All thanks to Serene, I spent quite a bomb on my whole set of yukata, although not as much as her. Haha~ She looked so much younger here =P

The Japanese School Festival - Run So High! [Unknown date]

My first time going there, and this is so not going to be my last! We totally felt the atmosphere of japanese school festivals that one can only probably can imagine from mangas if you are not living in Japan. I thought the one main difference between Jap and S'pore's school festivals is that Japs are much more daring and creative in their set-ups and their games. Anyway, it is totally different lah lol. You must go there yourself.

The above picture is a shot of a game of picking up marbles using super long chopsticks from various mediums like water, powder, etc. Serene is a pro at this, and she should be highly nominated for such tasks in the future.

Heh. I'm so glad to have such a friend who can be so wild, and at the same time be so loyal to friends. Happy Birthday gal! The below song is for you!

"This is the CM background song for Sony Ericsson SO903I mobile phone. A popular TV commercial serials, directed by famous director Isao Yukisada (行定勳), were subsequently developed to the movie "The world according to chocolate [ショコラの見た世界]" in April 2007.

K (케이, real name Kang Yoon-sung (강윤성, 姜尹城), is a Korean solo vocal singer who is currently active in Japan. His first Japanese album, Beyond the Sea, has achieved a sales of over 300,000 copies. This song was incoporated in his 3rd album "The TIMELESS Collection VOL.1" (SonyMusic, 2007.03.21)."

He is my all-time favourite male singer with the voice of an angel. Personally I prefer his version as compared to Cyndi Lauper's version. His version is so much more relaxing and cooling and I'm loving the MV.

True Colours

You with those sad eyes

Don't be discouraged

Though I realize

It's hard to take courage

In a world full of people

You can loose sight of it

And the darkness inside you makes you feel so small

But I see your true colours shining through

I see your true colours

That's why I love you

So don't be afraid to let them show

Your true colours, true colours

Are beautiful like a rainbow

Show me your smilin'

Don't be unhappy

Can't remember when

I last saw you laughing

If this world makes you crazy

And you've taken all you can bear

Just call me up because you know I'll be there

And I see your true colours shining through

I see your true colours

That's why I love you

So don't be afraid to let them show

Your true colors, true colours, true colours

Are beautiful

Like a rainbow

You're beautiful

I see your true colours

Just remember

If this world makes you crazy

And you've taken all you can bear

Just call me up because you know I'll be there

And I see your true colours shining through

I see your true colors

That's why I love you

So don't be afraid to let them show

Your true colours, true colours, true colours

Are beautiful

Beautiful

Like a rainbow

Like a rainbow

You're beautiful

Your true colors are beautiful

You are beautiful! Be happy and don't get pulled down by the politicians!

This is the year whereby I begin on a journey as a student, again. It felt really wierd to go back to school when most of your peers are starting to step out into the society as young adults. Haha~ Talking about never growing old. Sometimes I wish I was living in Neverland, where people never need to grow up and face the various pressures from the society. Or going into an adventure as like in One Piece. How nice. Yea, studying is very pressurising, but it is impossible to avoid it. Look at me. I'd avoided studying and hence am reduced to this state, seeing people setting forth into the bright future and I, on the other hand, am one step behind. Come to think about it, Meng Choo had given me good advice. I am really an ambitious person. Planning is really important, and important decisions like choosing a field of specialisation should never be left to be decided by someone else other than yourself. Even though studying for accounting is really tedious and time-consuming, but at least I've enjoyed studying it. It would probably be a different story if I was still in Physiotherapy. Well, one thing that I'm really grateful about is that I have never regreted my decision in quitting the course.

And then there was one amazing thing. I would have never expected YC to contact me on his own. Haha~ we did not have a long chat, but I'm really glad that he was carrying on his life well. And the funniest thing is that he was so worried that the 'incident' was still bothering me and 'leaving a scar' in me, as what he had phased it. LOL. Come on man! I am not that weak okay!

I'm glad that I've become even closer to 2 of my best friends, Serene and HY, even though the three of us only worked together for a short period of time. HY only worked for 2 months as a temp. so she's already out of C Co. Now she is in Amercia on a 2 months trip *envy envy* and I'm missing her already on the first day after her departure. I wish she had updated her blog more often though. I love her pictures of the European buildings in the States. And we have Serene. Frankly speaking, I think Serene has a really high EQ. It is a pity that she has no desire to upgrade herself further because if she does, she'll definately be sitting at the top of the chart in no time. She is still in C Co and is trying to 'survive' the politics in the environment whereby there is a new management change. As for me, I've already quit. Don't ask me the reason. I'm glad that I'm outta there.

There are some deaths this year. My uncle had died somewhere this year which had thrown everything into chaos. This is where I say that money is the source of all trouble. The ugly side of my dad's relatives have all surfaced, which is kinda exceeding my expectation. I mean, they are that kind of people to suck up to rich people but this time they are really going to the extent that they plot against each others. It's really very sad to have all these things sunk into my mind, and my dad got hit the most cos' he lost all his siblings overnight even though he was not really interested in all those things. As for me, I don't really care. I am not close to them in the first place and they really give me 'the face' when I previously quit my course and started working. So my heart is dead already. I just felt pity for my uncle.

This is the point where I realised that certain friends caught up in all the chaos caused by my relatives are really friends to be kept for life. I'll never forget them ^_^* Thank you very much.

On the other hand, my ex-college Jesse's husband was crushed to death on the construction site during his work. It has been 2 months now and she is still in a daze. Myrna has been trying her best to cheer her up. I do not know what to do or say, so I just keep quiet. I thought I should call her up, but I don't know what to say to her. I guess I'll let Myrna do the job. I really hope that she'll be over with it. It is not healthy to be always in such a depressed state when she has 2 children who are still toddlers.

Then I have some friends who have health problems, but they are recovering. So thank god.

Let's talk about some unimportant things. I still find it amazing that I was so much into NEWS in the beginning of the year and then all of a sudden, I am into SS501. It hadn't even last for a year 8P I am really looking forward to go to SS501 Personas but I have no time, no money, and most importantly, they converse in Korean! Why should I spend money to go to a concert whereby I don't understand a word of what the members are saying? Hah! Have to think twice. But if they ever come to Singapore, I would like to catch a look at them, even though I probably won't be able to see them anyway due to a potentially huge crowd. Do you know that SS501 has an organised fanclub that worked closely with the band? Known as Triple S, it has a lot of division such as Triple S Phillippines, Triple S Singapore, Triple S Japan, Triple S China, etc. They have too many fans all over the Asia. It's really scary.

What else have I left out? Hmm~ Oh ya! New recent discovery - Angelia is into muscle man.

Final words to my dear friends:

- From Primary School -

Esther Wong

Look at you! You have become prettier! You have the potential to do great things! Don't let yourself down! And forget about those boys who break your heart! You deserve better.

- From Secondary School -

Serene Neo

I'm trying remember to return calls, but as usual, I didn't. Argh. I'm old already. I'm very sorry not to meet you up earlier to celebrate your birthday. I'll see you after my exams okay?

Angelia

Congratulations! You are finally a form teacher next year! Is the school mad to assign you to teach 7.5 classes? Haha~ Just joking! The school is not mad. It is pinning high hopes on you. Don't despair, don't lose hope. Just keep on going your path and things will work out. I'll send my little boy (if I even have one) to your school for English lessons cos' I fail at English! Haha~ And thanks for all the laughter and joy you brought me this year. I'm really grateful =)

Rhian Tan

Rhian! I'm finally into K-Pop! Be happy for me! Muahahahaha! Where are you now? Why have you disappeared without a trace? WWWaaahhh~~~~~~~~~~~~

Grily Chua

The quiet and sometimes sarcastic little girl who loves to bite on Angelia's tail. Blah. Keep your Yamapi fandom alive, otherwise poor Angie would be alone in her NEWS fandom XD

Pek Har

I'm really looking forward to an exciting career in Accounting. Do encourage your junior to keep the flame burning! Haha~ We'll meet up during Chirstmas!

- From Junior Collage -

Tan Hui Ying

BRING ME TO THE US NOW! Opps. I would like to go there one day, just the two of us. Then we can go hunt for places to draw. I have a relative staying in California so it's going to be really exciting. Please learn how to drive though XD

Oh yes. I will work on the draft. I really will! Believe ME!

Tan Meng Choo

The next Assistant Manager, when are you free to meet up huh?

Cecilia Chua

So long never meet up le. Please meet up soon.

Sally

It's ironic to say this but I think NEWS has brought us together. Do you think we would ever talk to each other if the NEWS fandom never happened? Eh. I wish I knew that you like Arashi earlier.

- Colleges -

Mabel

How are your kids doing? We haven't been in contact for some years already. I probably have to make a call to you after my exams.

Myrna

Sorry for not being able to meet you up in November. I'll arrange a time with you on December.

Jesse

Do look on the bright side.

- Others -

Yu Chang

Don't worry~ You'll get a girlfriend in no time. It is you who is choosy, not the girls okay!

- The rest of the cool guys -

Lone Wolf Ishida

Married life is full of constraints right? I told you so. Take things easy though lol.

Daniel

When are you coming to Singapore? I'll let you stay in my house, no problem =)

Dash

Helo! How's working life so far? Hey I just heard of someone else with the same name as yours. It's unfair right? Haha~

Mr. Dante

Which country are you in now? The last place I heard was in the US. If you are still somewhere there, can I introduce my friend to you?

Yuu

When are you going to change your hairstyle? GOSH you have that hairstyle for the longest time. Can't you just change it into something else????

Minnie

Haha gotta love your rebonded hair! Yuu should learn more from you wahahaha~

HaiZ~ I wanted to change my blog layout but I kind of stop at changing only the header. I am not changing the "Friends Only" banner because it've got some significance to it (only some people will know). I'm grateful for Angelia for introducing NEWS into my life and it is funny how the knowledge of NEWS changed the people around me. I became closer to some of my already close friends and we are even closer than ever now. I hate to throw NEWS completely out of my life, as to what I did to Tackey, cos' each of them represent the different stages of my life. As like what Angelia told me few nights before, my taste in men has changed. I think that is totally right. I have changed from liking the 'white horses' to the 'black horses', pretty evident as shown below.

-> -> ->

Ne?

By the way, the meaning of 'white horses' and 'black horses'? 'White horses' refers to guys who are good-looking externally but introvert on the inside. 'Black horses' are guys who are not that good-looking on the outside but they have great personalities. Japanese guys overall are still so much better looking than Korean guys, and trust me, SS501 are the better-looking Koreans, besides Rain.

Cause of this change? I believe it is mainly due to Angelia's teachings. When we are into NEWS, she is the one who went researching on all NEWS informations, interviews and stuffs that lead to the insight of their personalities. I did not do all that when I was into Tackey and Jun. I was just admiring at their acting skills and just trying to finish their drama / movie productions. Maybe that's why those guys are so much good looking than the guys that I choose now? Now, besides looking at an idol's looks, I really dig into their interviews and stuffs and figure out their personalities. Otherwise, I would have liked Kyu Jong instead of Jung Min as of now. And one thing I realise when both Angie and I were into idolism - our idols comes in pairs. In NEWS, Angie likes Massu, and I liked Tegoshi. In SS501, I like Jung Min, and Angie prefers Hyung Jun. They are the Tom and Jerry in the group.

Anyway, enjoy the 16th version of Real Emotions - I Wonder... featuring Park Jung Min. My Microsoft software is unable to be used and so this header picture is created purely by Windows Photo Gallery using Brightness and Colour Adjustments (ahh~ am so proud of myself). The colour scheme is kept the same until further changes ;)

My Picks

The husband:



Massu

Heh~ I'm impressed with an interview of Massu a long long time ago on how he would help to do chores and stuff. Definately a husband material. And he does not look like he'll cheat on his wife.

The lover/boyfriend:



Tegoshi

Tegoshi has a romantic nature and when I saw how he described his future dates with his girlfriends I would go like "Wow, this girlfriend of his is so going to enjoy the mood of courtship" and I believe the dates with him would leave a very deep impression on the girl even if eventually the two of them broke up. This is especially so as I am a Singaporean girl and I truly feel that most Singaporean guys are total 'block-heads' and 'cowards' when it comes to courtship.

The reason why I did not choose Tegoshi as the husband pick is because even though Tegoshi and I think almost alike, he is too immature and too playful to settle down. Well~ he is still young anyways.

The best friend:



Koyama

Why Koyama???? Heh. Koyama is a very helpful guy towards his team-mates and never seems to run out of anything to talk. Definately I would not like him in a romantic way, but he looked like those type of guys whom you can hang out with comfortably and talk about anything under the sun.

The crush:



Ryo

Ryo has the face that makes girls like him in the first instance doesn't he? What a lucky guy. But the way he described how he is going to treat his girlfriend makes him sounds like he is super wanted and you are just one of HIS fans. How annoying.

The ex-boyfriend:



Yamapi

Eh. Yamapi gives me the impression that he is really reserved and does not like to associate with people he doesn't know very well unless absolutely necessary.

Eh. I shall not elaborate. No offense to Yamapi ne.

****

This is super annoying! I still can't find my fragrance pictures. DUH!

SS501 has changed their song type, from singing happy-go-lucky songs to more of the mature, quieter songs. The change is great! Not that their old songs are bad, they are really enjoyable to listen to as well, but singers should always try to come out from their shells and give their audiences something fresh to listen to. If Tegomass is switching paths, why shouldn't SS501?

Tracks from the album:

[1] WASTELAND

This is definately a great song to start with in an album because there is slow and fast beats to the song.

[2] Love Like This

The song is kind of westernized to the American blacks style, especially the MV. Gotta like the Tattoo shirts. I've never seen anything like that before. Singapore is such a fashion desert eh. I think it is pretty cool to have eye-liners encircling the eyes as well. As far as I've know, besides those Visual Kei bands, this is probably the first Asian boyband that I've seen wearing eyeliner makeups. I think that's really very cool. And Jung Min's can really carry that permed mushroom hair very well! I love the scene where he was singing with that big sunglasses. Kakoii~

[3] 하루만

AKA Only One Day. Another korean sad love song. I really love the song and Young Seung really sang well.

English translation:

"Your back figure as you left

I can't forget it

Because I cherished you

Time will fix it all

Was the support from my friends

But it is too less to bury you

In between the continuous trips

The thing that finds me again

It is your voice carried by the wind

Can you forget?

Day by day

The day that you arent here

Becomes a memory like yesterday

It burdens me so much

One day just for only one day

If only my hand can wipe your tears

Then I will tell you

My everything

The past memories I cant forget

It hides the past nights

When the heartless times stops

On top of the promise I couldnt keep

Is the dust that settled on top

Secretly, I clean it off with my tears

In between the large potion

Im looking for you again

My voice saying that I love you

Can you forget it

Day by day

The day that you aren't here

Becomes a memory like yesterday

It burdens me so much

One day just for only one day

If only my hand can wipe your tears

Then I will tell you

My everything

In the split road of my destiny

Even if they say it is a shattered dream

I wish I can bring you back again

One day just for only one day

If I can get to see you

If this aged prayer can bring you back

What I couldnt say

The words I couldnt say that was deep inside my heart

Then I will tell you

I love you

One day just for only one day

If only my hand can wipe your tears

Then I will tell you

You are my everything

Please receive my last courage"

A little bit of Ai Nante feel to the lyrics. I guess I really love these kind of sad love songs.

[4] Obsess

Again, this song is like those Amercian blacks slow songs.

[5] 완.두.콩.

Also known as Green Peas. I can't find any video with the full song so I have posted one of their performance with only 2:36 minutes. The full song is definately more reminiscing. Nonetheless, this song is really soothing to listen to. It makes me think of the happy times I have with my long-time buddies.

Unfortunately, only Love Like This has an MV.

I would say my favourite is probably 하루만, cos' I love sad love songs! And cos' Young Seung always sings such sad songs really well. Maybe Angelia is right... I tend to like male artistes who can sing songs with high notes. Haha.

I went across to someone's site sometime ago and saw a set of meme which is pretty interesting. Well, I really wanted to post this. It is called "Posting Pictures of 'Someone'".

My 'Someone' today is Park Jung Min!

Park Jung Min Facts:

Birthdate: April 3, 1987

Blood type: O type

Height: 181cm

Weight: 67kg

Hobbies: Lyrics

Special skill: tap dancing, climbing

My Personal Comments:

Jung Min is the funniest guy you can ever encounter in the industry of the singing entertainment. Unlike Massu who is naturally being lame with his own actions and blurness, Jung Min is more of a verbally lame person. And because he is very close to the other SS501 members, he sometimes openly teased them, and most of the time being shot back at by the members.

Most of my friends and even my cousin only know of Hyun Joong when they hear SS501 (just because of his role in Boys Over Flowers (Korea Version)), but I think the other members should get more recognition as well.

Oh, and Jung Min is a korean, not a japanese.

Okay, anyway, let's start the show rolling.

Posting Pictures of 'Someone'

(Park Jung Min)

01. Picture where 'Someone' is wearing glasses.



Not the best kind of picture to take with specs. I thought it makes him look wierd?

02. Picture with the funniest face of 'Someone'.



Trying to look cool riding the bicycle. Fail?

03. Picture of your 'Someone' eating.



Seriously, I remember Massu had a pic with 3 prawns stuck in his mouth. Is this practise a trend or what?

04. Picture(s) of 'Someone' with an animal.



Who can forget Daengie the pretty dog! OMG never in a million years would I believe someone would actually abandon such a loveable dog. Please treat your dog nicely.

05. Picture(s) of 'Someone' with the opposite sex.



Usually I don't post pictures this small but this picture has an overall dancing mood to it which is really great.

06. Picture of 'Someone' not smiling.



It's almost impossible to find him in his natural form not smiling. Most of the pictures in the editorials are that him tilting his head to the left and smiled. This picture is somewhat refreshing.

07. Picture of your favourite outfit on this 'Someone'.



Light brown trench coat surprisingly goes very well with baby blue inner shirt. I like the combination. And that kind of trousers is really difficult to get, at least in Singapore.

08. Picture of 'Someone' smiling.



One of my favourite pictures. My friend said he looked a bit like Rain Bi (?) in this picture, and another picture immediately below. Maybe the picture is too small????

09. Picture(s) of 'Someone' in a suit.



I like the white sleek belt! The koreans and the japanese really can mix and match fashion really well.

10. Picture(s) of 'Someone' doing an outdoor activity.



Is shopping considered an outdoor activity? Here, Jung Min was shopping in Japan for clothes. Ah~ I wanna go Japan~

Lastly, your favourite picture of 'Someone'.



The pictures are a set =P I liked how the blurrness blended so nicely with Jung Min in the pictures. It gives a sense of motion. Looking at the pictures, I really wish I was young again. Ah~ There was a time when I was young too...

That's it! You can put photos of yourself as well haha! Now I'm satisfied.

Ja.

Park Jung Min - 하면은 안돼

My first recommendation is Park Jung Min's "If You Cannot". It is in SS501's Solo Collection Drama. Unfortunately they don't have a proper MV only with this song only. I thought this song sounds a bit nostalgic, bitter and sad. Sigh~ Korea love songs totally melts your heart. And because I cannot find a MV that only plays Jung Min's solo, Baby's song is at the back of the MV, as a bonus. The song is not too bad either, but I personally like slow songs better.

Tegoshi Yuya - 愛なんて

The second track will be Tegoshi Yuya's "Ai Nante". Do you know that this song has finally an official MV? Haha~ I glad. And best of all, this is sang totally by Tegoshi! YES! No more horrible singing by Shige and Ryo. Haha.

This MV is a little bit on the mature side, as in, JE is trying to portray Tegoshi as a charismatic grown-up and he is missing a particular lady (note: not girl). To me, Tegoshi still looked like a child in the video. I believe the effect would be different if the person is replaced by Ryo or Yamapi (well~ they have the mature looks). And for the lady... I wish they would have shown her whole face. Throughout the MV I was like, waiting to see the lady's face but I was so disappointed. And, the MV seems to be focusing on her boobs whenever it's her airtime. I wonder if Tegoshi has directed the MV?

Matsumoto Jun - One More Time, One More Chance

Third one up is Jun Matsumoto's "One More Time, One More Chance". Well, not exactly his song, but I thought he gives the song a completely different feel as compared to the original singer. Definately the original singer is a lot better, but Jun is not too bad either ^_^ Anyway, the song is nice.

That's it! Just a short entry since I've been so busy with schoolwork nowadays. ByE!

The topic is about identifying which is the MOST OVERRATED band.

OMG I took up the challenge to check Dir En Grey cos' it's the first time I heard that MVs can affect people to the extent that people throw out. Pretty bad.

I regret doing so. After watching through the whole video, I really felt nausea. OMG.

However, they serve as excellent references for your perfect scary halloween night.

OMG. No wonder there is a saying, "Curiosity kills the cat."

Spot on.

Who is your NEWS Boyfriend?

Unlike your usual boring quiz that gives super obvious answers to questions, the quizzor provides checklists based on what the actual requirements by the NEWS members themselves!

Answers include the 6 usual NEWS members as well as Uchi and Kusano! Go try out already!

Anyway, if anybody is interested about who I get...

Sorry, don't kill me =P

And my least matching guy is Ryo, as expected.

My scorings are as follows:

* Lime Green = 15

* Coral = 16

* Aqua = 18

* Purple = 16

* Yellow = 23

* Orange = 18

* Red = 6

* Blue = 19

Cheers! Do the quiz and let me know the results, okay?

Firstly, I'm amazed that he can be that awkward even though he has been working as an artistise for so many years.

Adapted from Shige's Diary by Foxhana:

Sept 8th - Tegoshi... shiny eyes

Kato Shigeaki had a photoshoot with Tegoshi Yuya today.

DREAMBOYS that Tegoshi Yuya has participated in had begun the day before, but he did not look tired at all, and instead came on the set looking refreshed.

Indeed is a prince \(^o^)/

Most of the pictures were taken individually, and the atmosphere was really lively, and then the job had ended smoothly for the two of them.

But there was only one photo, that was a joint photo of Kato Shigeaki and Tegoshi Yuya.

But, it was not a photo of the both of them standing together.

It was in fact taken from the top, with both of them lying on the ground face up.

Was to look at the camera in the beginning, and hence the both of them looked at the camera together.

But in the midst of shooting, the cameraman had said, "Hai, then now the both of you look at each other."

...................

Eh!?!?!! Σ(￣□￣;)

Such a close distance, lying down, look at each other..................................................................?

Ah~ （/ω\)

Won't it get awkward?

Kato Shigeaki had said," Kid, it won't be good if two man looked at each other ne."

But even so, Kato Shigeaki had prepared himself mentally and looked at Tegoshi Yuya at the cameraman's soothing "It is okay. It is okay."

.....................................

At that time he had seemed to be already smiling and looking at me.

Looking at me at such a close distance.

Is this an effect from DREAM BOYS?

As compared to before, the distance was so much more closer.

Tegoshi Yuya.

Indeed is a prince..............

Oh please won't you be even a little embarrassed. Just how strong is your heart?

Don't look at me like that............

Being looked at with those shiny eyes...............

The atmosphere will become weird.

(oдO)

.........................................

Tegoshi Yuya who has ended the photoshoot using those shiny eyes, had walked towards DREAM BOYS with that pair of eyes.

Ah~ shiny shiny tegoshi eyes~

I'll be waiting for that photoshoot~ I wonder... for which magazine would it be?

Oh the kira kira eyes.

****

Σ(￣□￣;) This is bad. Shige is admiring Tegoshi THAT MUCH? O_o Massu is in danger.

Secondly, Kato. Shige kinds of makes Tego and Mass looks even better????

Tegoshi definately looks so much better here.

Super cute Massu =D

Poor Shige -_- Definately not a match for looks even to Tegomass. What's more Yamapi and Ryo? =P

Thirdly, Never Ending Wonderful Shige.

Wheeeee~

This is not exactly Shige's fault but I felt greatly disturbed after seeing so many Shigessss.

Oh. One more before I leave. Finally I've found the English Subtitles for Shige-Yakko. Enjoy.

As agreed to Angelia for her pimp post in "NEWS Share", I shall post something similar to that. For me, this is more of a commeration to NEWS anniversary =)

NOTE: NOT FOR THE FAINT-HEARTED AND THOSE WHO CANNOT DIFFERENTIATE FACTS FROM FICTIONS.

Disclaimer: NEWS did not leave such messages as written below. Those are created purely out of my imagination. There is HEALTHY rivary among NEWS fans you know.

Messages from the NEWS members to YOU:

KOYASHIGE

That is probably the best shot of Koyashige I can find. Thank you =)

And Koyashige wanted to dedicate YOU their famously perverted song: Chirarizumu.

Frankly speaking, singing this kind of song isn't going to help boost their popularity either.

TEGOSHI

Yes. That is what I feel these days about Tegoshi. Keep on trying ne...

MASSU

Why Xiao Long Bao? This is the reason:

So cute right? Massu is probably the most adorable creature you can find in NEWS.

And because of cute Massu and cool Tegoshi, we have the ultimate TEGOMASS!!!!

YAMAPI

Beware Grily, Yamapi can be a domineering husband. Look at this:

On the other side of the coin, he probably would coach his son well (Ryo can be the son lol).

NISHIKIDO

That's probably the best-looking Ryo I have among the pictures that I have on hand. Sorry. I do respect Ryo for his acting skills.

Comments are appreciated =)

Boku wa Imouto ni Koi wo Suru

AKA: I'm In Love With My Little Sister / 僕は妹に恋をする

This is a very controversial piece of Japanese movie. Yori and Iku are twins siblings and have loved each other since childhood times. However, because they are siblings, both Yori and Iku hid their love until Yori confessed one day. Both of them then started a relationship in which Yori has always felt so guilty in misleading his sister in order to satisfy his own fantasy.

Yori as Jun Matsumoto

Iku as Eikura Nana

Be surprised! Eikura Nana is the friend of Yoshida Rei in the Jdrama 'Proposal Daisakusen'. She looked very different in this movie though. Another surprise is that she has very long legs and she is really tall for a japanese lady. Wow.

Another one of Jun Matsumoto's great performance. Jun Matsumoto is like another version of the Yamashita Tomohisa in 'Kurosagi'. Totally can act. Compare this role of his with Domyoji Tsukasa in 'Hana Yori Dango' in which the feelings that he gave off is very different.

The whole story is filled with emoness and sadness and despair and whatever you name it. There is little music and the flow is pretty slow. The sadness and frustration feelings are there though. I would grade this movie 3/5.

Quite interesting. Not for the already depressed and feeling negative about life. Not for the people who enjoy comedies and wanted quick progress in the story. Strongly recommended for those who are open-minded, otherwise you will definately turn it off after 10 minutes.

Enjoy this movie, if you have the time =)

Translations starts here: -

Tegoshi

Q. You’re the only B blood type within the members but have you ever been told or have you though “I’m/you’re very like a B blood type”?
When I meet people for the first time, they always say “Are you an A blood type?”. Because I’m shy at the beginning, they think that I’m the quiet type. But if we become good friends they say “You’re definitely a B type~” (laugh) I wonder what part of me it is? I have my likes and my interests and I do various things but for the parts of me that aren’t like that I don’t think I get any reaction at all? People really do say “It’s fine either way” and their reaction because really weak (laugh)

Q. What’s your position in soccer?
FW. If I say that I play the offensive and I shoot goals, do you understand it like that? It’s a position that really stands out. I’ve been playing soccer and Futsal from a long time ago so I’ve experienced playing most of the positions.

Q. What is the thing that Tegoshi-kun loves the most?
I wonder what it is? Right now, the only thing that comes to mind is Shabu Shabu. Recently I went to eat it with friends after a soccer tournament ended.

Q. Tell us the good points of Tegomasu’s Masuda-kun!
Freedom! (laugh) It’s good that he expresses himself freely and has views that are different from those of other people. Even at the Tegomasu concert preparation meetings Massu said “I want to ride a horse”. When I first heard it I was surprised but it turned out well didn’t it?

Q. A prank that you’ve pulled on a members recently is?
There was the Oolong tea that Kei-chan was drinking and I changed the contents of it to a mix of carbonated drink and coffee. Kei-chan drank it without noticing anything and then he was quite surprised and he yelled out “Uwaa!: (laugh)

Q. Tell us a technique to be able to sing well!
From when you start singing until the end of the song, don’t sing everything with a lot of power. I think like singing the chorus parts strongly or making the way you sing both soft and strong is good.

Q. Who’s the fastest runner in NEWS?
It’s probably Massu. I’ve never seen him race anyone before though (laugh) Massu himself says “I’m really fast”. For me, I can run 20 or 30 metres with instantaneous force but if it’s over 50m it seems like it would be hard.

Q. The fact that my family is all very close is something I’m proud about! Is Tegoshi-kun’s family all really close as well?
We’re very close! My mum came to watch the Tegomasu concert twice. Coincidentally, our faces look the same. Of course because we’re parent and child. I was proud that when my mum came for Parents day at school I would be told “Tegoshi-kun, you’re mum is really pretty”. Actually, recently she told me that some young people called out to her saying “Won’t you come and play with us?” and she told me sounding really happy about it~ (laugh)

Q. Is there an item that you’ve gotten recently?
I don’t really have anything that I want. So I don’t really go shopping. For clothes, if I like outfits I wear I buy them and take them. . .what I want is a 1 week holiday! I want to go and watch soccer in Europe.

Q. At what time’s do you think “NEWS is the best!”?
That we all get along well. When we’re together it seems like we just do as we like and we’re all very separated but. . .it’s actually just because we’re comfortable. When we’re lively, it depends on when it is but during concerts I’m very energetic (laugh) I love concerts and just from being backstage my tension goes up so it can’t be helped.

Massu

Q. Tell us your recommended way to train your muscles!
Swimming works out your whole body, so it’s swimming! But rather than what sort of training you do, whether you continue to do it everyday is what I think is important. For example, even if you just try walking down the street you usually ride your bike down to the station on is OK.

Q. Tell us a desert you like!
A banana and ice cream crepe. I like chocolate cake as well. There are a lot of times where I open the fridge and eat ice cream after dinner.

Q. Out of all of Tegomasu’s songs and PV’s, which is your favourite?
I like all the songs so choosing just one is hard but for “Tanabata Matsuri” the idea of “Enjoying a festival with children” and the world view of the lyrics of the song were portrayed really beautifully and I was moved. The song that made me feel excited singing it live was “Power of earth”. The sound of the intro feels good!

Q. Tell us Tegomasu’s Tegoshi-kun’s good points!
That when I said “I want to ride a horse” at the meeting for Tegomasu concert, he accepted my idea (laugh) While he was shocked he asked “How will we be able to do that?” I was just happy that he listened to what I had to say and showed interest. When I said “If we can’t do it with a wooden horse then riding a real horse is fine too. That one would be better I think” of course he stopped showing interest. . .

Q. What’s the one thing that you think “I don’t want to lose to the members” with?
My strength with exercise. Everything except soccer. I’ll leave soccer to Tegoshi. Because when I was a school student I loved doing things like trying to see who had the most physical strength. Doing sports tests, going up and down on a foot stool. . .it’s nostalgic. I also shined during the sports carnivals (laugh)

Q. What’s something you got recently that you liked?
A down jacket. I kept thinking that it looked good and no matter how much it costs, buying a down jacket in the middle of winter is a little. . . and when I thought of leaving the store, the shop keeper came and said “There’s only 3 of these jackets in the world” and then I bought it (laugh) When I worse it at a short length, my silhouette looked really cool.

Q. Massu’s smile is wonderful and I love it! Which of the members do you think has a wonderful smile?
Shige. When I think of Shige’s face, the thing that comes to mind is definitely his smile.

Q. Tell us what motivated you to learn swimming and what swim you’re good at!
When I was 3, my parents just enrolled me on their own accord. At first I hated it~. I didn’t want to go and I’d always cry. But now, I think that I’m glad I continued. Because I was able to do it in a drama and everything. When I have kids, I’m going to make them go swimming too. The swimming style I’m good at is free style!

Q. What’s something that you’re wondering about right now?
Taiga Kyomoto came to watch Tegomasu concert and I was really happy when he came backstage and said “I love Tegomasu!” but when I saw his section in Duet September, it had “When I listen to Tegoshi-kun singing, my tension goes up” was written. I thought “What about Masuda-kun?” and I’m a little curious about his intention there (laugh)

Q. At what time do you think “NEWS is the best!”?
Probably at the concert opening. When the 6 of us are standing on stage and the fans are listening to us sing, power runs through my body. At that second I think “NEWS is the best!”.

- Translation ends here.

OMG Massu! Are you serious when you meant that Shige has a wonderful smile? 8P I can't wait to see Tegoshi's mother. If Tegoshi is pretty as a guy, the mother must be a model! Must see must see. And finally I've caught a glimpse of Tegoshi's new hair. Sux like hell. It's a replica of Matsumoto Jun's curls, just that it's shorter. *_* So disappointed. When is Tegoshi going to have his straight hair back -_-

Oh~ And I've just found out that Arashi is 10 YEARS OLD!!!! OMG!!!! I failed as a fan for knowing it so late. Thanks Sally for the announcement in her blog. I must get their anniversary album in my hands. Muahahaha~

Bye!

Apparently this is the list of people whom I knew went there:

* Angelia Wong

* Grily Chua

* Yik Pek Har

* Lee Zhi Feng

* Cynthia Goh

* Serene Neo

* Jasline

* ... and 6 more others whom I do not know the names.

Well, it was fun overall, except for the massive and long queues every now and then. The food and performances were not as great as compared to last year though. It's the first time this year that I get to sit in the pinic area. It is really cool cos' you can get to lay everything on the ground and catch up with friends. Unfortunately our position is at the back of the stage and we have to get to see the backside of the dancers. Oh well...

Hmm... Let's see if I can get Hui Ying and Meng Choo and her bro to join us next year.

Now for some photos galore!!!! Had wanted to post them on Facebook but the uploading is too darn slow! First time posted on Photobucket with the link here. SMS me for the password to the album please, and do let me know if there is an access problem.

Yes. Our dear Grily has attained enlightenment. Serene (left) and Angelia (right) with their respective yukata and kimono. Can you spot the differences between the two types of traditional japanese costumes?

Our two ladies again... Looking pretty.

Cynthia and Zhi Feng - the happy couple, apparently too shy (?) to take photos.

That's peach sakae. Our dear Serene's latest attempt on japanese wine.

Cynthia's artistic photography.

Pek Har and Grily trying to figure out what performances are coming up next as the night is drawing. But the performances are always not on schedule anyway.

Alfros on stage!

Group photo.

Serene and Pek Har

Tanaba Maturi~ Opps. I mean Natsu Matsuri.

The couple and the light bulb, apparently shining very brightly. Muahaha~

Pek Har and I.

I'm still waiting... Waiting for the rest of the peeps to upload their photos... I'm waiting...

Oh, by the way, my dad had just got us a new and better PC!!!! Muahaha no more laggings and more surfing time!!!! YES.

More updates to be written here next time! Ja ne!

This CM makes me laugh so much when it comes to individual airtime. All individuals have their own airtime except... EXCEPT FOR KOYAMA AND KATO SHIGE!!!! Either Koyama has downgraded to Shige's level or Shige upgraded to Koyama's level (as compared to the previous Kose CM). Muahahaha~ Even Kose thinks that those 2 people are not that important in NEWS. I think they owed their airtime to the other NEWS members. Poor NEWS.

Below are some updates on the last day of Tegomass concert.

* Tegoshi got a haircut

* During Boku no cinderella, Tegoshi Yuuko (the Cinderella?) appeared!! in a pink dress

* He sang Chicken boy while still in that dress

* In the encore, Tegoshi cried

* Followed by Massu crying during Kissu

* They came out on horses again for the second encore

* They sang Zutto and Hajimete no Asa for the second encore

Hahaha~ Finally Tegoshi got a haircut!!!! No perm please~~~~ >o< Apparently Yuuko is really famous among the Tegomass fans. Be glad that because of Tegoshi that Massu does not need to do those girly dressups. Again, the Tegomass couple is back in action. Maybe Tegoshi is the 'chicken boy' lol. For your information, Chicken Boy is written by Tegomass. It has been a long way for Tegomass, so I guess they got emotional.

I can't wait for tomorrow's Natsu Matsuri! Whahahaha~ Purposely trimmed my brows, did facial and tinted my nails for that. Better rest well today so that we can enjoy ourselves to the fullest tomorrow!

Ciao!

Came across this fan MasuSapu who made very cute NEWS comics. She's a Massu-fan by the way XD

Even though she is a Massu fan, she also made comics for other members of NEWS which are pretty funny as well (not that I care). I can't wait to see more of her works lol!

Oh ya. Since Angelia has mentioned that the green eyes doesn't suit Gakky in the previous picture posted, I have changed it to the more normal one =P

This is Toda Erika:

That's all! Bye!

A bit disappointed at those results. I was taking two papers last semester. One of them was not meeting expections. Haiz~

But at least I passed. Thank god for that.

I'm at home now trying to rest my eyes and soul from over-studying for the last 3 days. Still feeling feverish but much better after taking some chinese medicinal cooling drinks. Hopefully I am able to report work tomorrow =)

My PC fan is down. So sad. Now I can't use the computer anymore until my father managed to get a new one. Sad Sad Sad =( (Note: I'm using my bro's laptop at the moment which is password-protected.)

I was online today and decided to have a peep at Angelia's blog. It's amazing how much I missed out even though it is only 2 weeks offline. Liked her new Massu layout but wouldn't it be more appropriate to stick to Massu's representative colour which is yellow? Hahaha pink = Tegoshi. Maybe that's her way to representing Tegomass layout (?) Nonetheless, its a good piece of work done.

As promised, I shall post the Tegomass BGR picture here. Totally boy and girl friend like =P Even I, a Tegoshi-fan, find it hard to deny. Oh well~

Never mind. My lao gong Matsumoto Jun is still the best.

Recently I am beginning to like Gakky a lot more (maybe because she acting side by side with Jun?). The more I looked at her, the prettier I found her to be. Maybe I shall be a fan of her together with my all-time favourite Toda Erika.

Nothing much to blog about for now. Cya later!
