ARGH.  

I don't know how many more days left to go.

CAN THE TAKITSUBA BEST TOUR FREAKING HURRY.

I'm sorry.

and I just started liking sotsugyou. at first I dismissed half of the t&t pile I had because I only listened to the fast numbers. and I mean the fast ones. anything slower than venus gets the boot.

and for some strange reason, I can sing nagare boshi.

the power of tsubasa.

brain eaten brain eaten brain eaten tabechattaaaa.

I should sleep. I'm going to start work tomorrow! so exciting! actually I wasn't supposed to because I had to go down to the high comm today. norman said the company wanted people who could start today only. but it seems somebody backed out at the last minute and so I got it! no it's not going to make me rich but hey at least it's something. and maybe I'll get some of my brain back. *attempts to make tsubasa puke my brains back out but doesn't have the heart to*

DOOM. I still have no idea how I turned into such a rabid t&t fan.

oh and rin, the t&t in the forest pv? it's sotsugyou. wanted to tell her for the longest time and never remembered to.

in non t&t news. I AM SUPER TEMPTED TO BUY ARENA. again. it's a whopping pile of gazette pictures (silver suit and ALL my GOSH) plus some meevie. there's some hiroto (which I'm not a total fan of but I'm still okay) and yasu is hiding somewhere. nightmare's the cover and I don't mind that either.

DOU SURU.

because I suspect the arena june issue is already in singapore. so if I don't decide fast the naito fans will gobble it away.

and I can't stop watching t&t on doumoto kyoudai. and sotsugyou has them so young. so so young.

TSUBASA STOP EATING MY BRAIN.

*runs to bed*

the placid child.  

the placid child can't take stress. the child remains calm and quiet, undisturbed and unwavering. until calamity strikes, and suddenly the child is thrown into utter confusion and desolation. however the problem is not that the placid child does not think, but that the placid child is so fixated in that still state, that secure state, that unchanging state. inflexible this child is not, but escapist.

the placid child. the child is also described rather appropriately as complacent, according to dictionary definitions. rather appropriate, for the child was feeling accomplished with today. looks like the placid child has much to learn, much to handle, much to deal with. for these two months will not be an easy task.

there was a foreboding moment in the child's mind earlier in the day though. so much so that the child embarked on a search of a les miserable song. in fact it is rather strange that the child feels such affinity with that soundtrack of the musical the child never did get to watch. may never get to watch.

the child ought to sleep. it may be a long day tomorrow. the placid child still looks forward to yet another stable point in life, however. another hurdle to cross to reach that state of equilibrium. perhaps the child should try to accept change, to look for it, to anticipate it. and not so much as to reject it, to run from it.

to run.

the placid child is, in reality, the escaping child. the one who lives in utopia alone, when it is a false utopia. who lives in false freedom, who lives in false reality. not that reality has tricked the child, but the child has decided to trick the brain into believing as such, while struggling to quieten the inner voice that shouts reality out.

that voice must come through one day.

I had to post this.  

today the focus isn't on the screencaps. but here are some anyway.

so what's my point in showing tiny (both literally and not) subaru tsubasa and takki? besides the fact that it's interesting how these 3 seem to appear on the same programs and sing together pretty frequently. and subaru sounds pretty good in this video. I suspect the video comes from probably circa 2001 or perhaps slightly earlier is possible, and it's a really old NHK program called music jump. I'd heard of it before but never bothered about it. it looks like shounen club's predecessor. but I'm not sure when sc started broadcast anyway. or which station is falls under, for that matter.

back to er, what's my point. my point is WHAT THEY SANG.

look at their dramatic faces man. plus they had a bunch of ballerina looking juniors behind them (okay fine at that time they were juniors too). and a whole pile of fans right behind with heart-shape neon lights. their costumes are gross but then again it has been decided since the beginning of time that juniors wear awful clothes.

SO WHAT DID THEY SING? maybe you'll like to hazard a guess.

I'm being irritating.

they sang......KIMI DAKE NI.

beat that. they freaking sang kimi daki ni. LIKE WHY?!?! is it something that the johnny boys must go through? kimi dake ni?! my goodness. I almost died when I saw the file label. I was like MAJI?!?! I opened the file and the moment that first line came out of subaru's mouth, I had my answer. gosh. indeed, I must thank rin and xuanie for exposing me (and nore) to this amajing song that haunts. it's a terribly easy song to sing, and remember, and it gets stuck in your head. plus it's sung by super senpais shounentai, then there's that recording of it by tokio, and now I have to find this. it's hilarious. subaru sounds nice in the front part because it's low enough. this song's range is a little off for them, but tsubasa nearly died at the 2nd chorus, which is of a higher pitch than the 1st chorus.

although the scariest part is actually the fact that takizawa not just looks the same from before, but also that he sounds the same.

I need to get out of the house soon. I realised that cooping myself up in the house only brings out more and more and more tackey & tsubasa. and I really mean MORE. as in MOAR. overload. the craziest part is, I still don't have the first 2 albums. still. I've been meaning to ask rae about them but I keep forgetting.

well tomorrow I will be going down to that big silver building, and then hopefully get to eat lunch with nore. I hope everything goes okay. you know there are so many things that can go wrong, but I'm smacking myself out of that thought. plus I still need to come up with a concrete skit plan and all. but I must get out of the house. I'm so stuck to the computer.

and stupid kimi dake ni is STUCK in my head now. GAH!

more bad screencaps.  

I am a horrible girl for digging out terrible videos. then again, nore has been entertaining herself with arashi, aka the pile of rubbish. and what a huge pile of rubbish they are. er screencaps first!


on more uso!? japan news, I realised that the first bunch of episodes are on all paranormal rubbish. you know, where people will send in news about some haunted don't know where, some weird voice in some old tape etc. so I deleted the pile I got from veoh. plus it didn't star dr. uso yet. haha I'm bias. the later episodes continue to have the segment where they look at a few 'ghost photos' (the type where you can supposedly see some ghost as a white patch or something), and they have some paranormal expert to comment on it. but at least it's just one segment. the rest is HILARIOUS.

like subaru and murakami waiting 5 freaking hours for curry rice. poor poor children.

and I think I need some exercise. after kneeling like crap for sado, then rushing down to church to learn the dance, half my body is aching in the weirdest places. I am totally rusty. must warm up before doing all these things man. forgot to warm up before sado. too excited to do the entire thing. even though nore and I had to constantly wave our arms x~dame style to catch zibin jinx and mel's attention so we can freaking move on and kneel less. and then the all famous gwyneth came with her incredulous fiance. I shall attempt not to bitch. about the fiance, that is. gwen was fine. just that something in her reminded me of juni. *shudders slightly*

I need to sleep. the more I hear kamira tamara the more 80s disco it sounds. I should stop listening. haha I'm half talking nonsense already. gahhhhhh.

before D no arashi...  

there was USO!? Japan. (warning: it's a screencap filled entry again.)

 

 

21 May 2008 @ 06:39 pm

this is a screencap-spam.  

under the cut has tsubie, takki, yamapi, toma, subaru, nino, sho, aiba.

most of which are when they're nowhere near 20. followed by a pile of more recent t&t only screencaps. please be forewarned that there are many pictures. screencaps, to be more accurate. so if your internet's not working too well for you then expect to wait, okay?

are you ready?

and I have been watching so much t&t nonsense. those two are full of nonsense. rather, tsubasa is too willing to throw any pieces left of his image away, and takizawa tries too hard to hold on to a serious and cool image that he doesn't have at all. although honestly the funniest clip today must have been the one where hosoki sensei and cream stew crash t&t's concert. that is ULTIMATE.

I was reading somewhere that takki is hosting some other show with cream stew, supposedly introducing enka and the like. that's it lah takki, you're doomed to a life of being an auntie killer. even though he's lost hosoki sensei to tsubasa...but I think that's part of bullying tackey more than anything else.

yay we love cheeky tsubasa and bullied takki!

leopard print monogatari.  

kimi ga ai no wana. tsubasa is a TRAP.

made the bad decision of going to bugis with nore after lunch today and SAW TOO MUCH LEOPARD PRINT. nore says I'm cursed. and we think tsubie is trying to tell us something with his er, presence. hahaha we seriously saw a lot of leopard print things. from shoes to bags to belts. and even a bloody stool at 77th street. can you beat that?! plus a leopard print bolster! my goodness gracious me. nore said I should buy them all and wear with my leopard print coat. I'll end up looking more like I ran away from the night safari more than anything. then the funniest part was after we burst out laughing at the leopard print belt, zhongyue suddenly appeared in front of us. she was there with a friend, and walked over to say hi. but er you see zhongyue is a takki fan DAKARA...

tsubasa! nani ga hanashitai no wo itte kure yo!

HAHAHA. and then and then. and then we went to the glass section of bhg and found....A HUGE GLASS LIKE TSUBASA'S IN X~DAME! so exciting. unfortunately the dimensions are slightly off. the opening isn't quite big enough (it tapers in too much) and the glass is way too thick. so heavy. and actually the neck is about that short. just skimmed through the pv. cool! x~dame gigantic fishbowl orange juice glass!

tsubasa is trying to tell us something. seriously man. HAHA

and then I watched the jenga clip again this morning. I totally know why rae insisted I watch it. it's a joke. then again, the two of them ARE a joke. although I still think the two lead very very sad johnny lives. you see,

1. they took a year of petitioning to debut as a duo like kinki kids.
2. they release an album once every 2 years.
3. only their best collection hit #1 on oricon. the other 3 albums didn't.
4. not all their singles hit #1 on oricon.
5. none of their releases went over the 200k mark, except venus and hatachi.
6. it's their 6th year and they will have only 10 singles released by june.

7. they have NEVER performed at tokyo dome. okay they performed once. hatachi con final. sore dake. (and it has skinny pi and ugly toma, to be discussed further below.)

and yet the two children work so hard. you know nore was saying that 'hey their concerts sell out so why don't the releases make it'. you want to know why? because the biggest concert venue they've ever had is the yokohama arena, which seats 17,000 people. the bloody tokyo dome seats a whopping 55,000 people okay. my gosh.

although I don't understand. their solo tour finals are at osaka jo hall, which seats 16,000. you mean there are so many 50/50 t&t fans huh. such that when you combine forces they only fill 17,000. okay that's poor logic working there so prease to ignore.

but logically the two should draw fans because it's not as if they're not popular. in fact most people in the je circles don't really mind t&t. or at least I haven't come across a t&t slammer. ah well.

my yahoo mail is getting a lot of spam lately. and I have no idea why. the spam filter worked very well for quite a long time, and now it seems that all the spam is coming straight back. that sucks. I don't like putting super high spam filters because that tends to filter almost everything pretty indiscriminately. uh, which means therefore nothing will come in.

OH and just when nore and I were talking about the lack of t&t advertisements, I just found 2 tsubie cms. one has tsubie alone, and the other has tsubie with TEGOSHI. like nande?!?! the two commercials are totally amusing. my gosh I am so amused. I am still amused. HAHAHAHA (goes aside from lj for a while to continue laughing like a mad woman)

so amused. their expressions are priceless.

and I realised I didn't talk about yesterday. rin and nore dropped by my place to cook curry. pretty successful! (even though my mother went on about how I should learn to cook blah blah blah after that) and because nore bought the same brand and same flavour of curry, we could mix it in. although rin and I were ready to scream our lungs out at her.

nore put the imo chan pictures up! they were SO CUTE. somehow after rin dug out the buds one of the potatoes ended up resembling pac-man. and amajing nore and her phone took funny pictures. my mum asked me today if they were coming again. best. oh plus we watched kurosagi the movie. it was so...dumb? I don't know. it was slow moving for no reason. absolutely none. the storyline is pretty well, much the same as the drama, and honestly it seemed more like an ultra long extra episode of kurosagi rather than a movie. although the elevator stopping part was really funny.

plus, it is impossible for yamapi to pull off that many costume changes. like hello we know that's you don't be stupid now. but I suppose that's the fun of making movies and such -- anything happens, anything is possible. like we all know hana kimi can't exist in real life, but we watch the drama anyway for kicks.

AND just when I'm talking about yamapi and toma (since we've mentioned hana kimi), I go back to watching a clip from the hatachi concert and I freaking spot them. I'm pretty sure. haha so that's skinny bummer yamapi and ugly toma. man. plus tsubasa with ultra blonde hair. and I mean ultra blonde. that hair plus that bright cloak makes him look more like he jumped out of some anime.

(and as mean as this sounds, at the end the two of them do a backflip. yep you saw that right. takki can do backflip! hahaha but I have no idea how he landed because that very second they hit the ground, the lights went off. hmm.)

this entry is a lot longer than I meant it to be. I should really be heading off to bed soon. stop watching t&t rubbish. there's something that drives t&t fans, I think. because I never did this much when it came to my other johnny fandoms. I think the last time I did this was for dir en grey. and I actually still probably have nearly all their pvs. I'm quite amazed. although I would pity any new diru fan who wants everything. the sheer amount of music and mvs and concert plus concert rubbish will kill somebody. but then it helps that diru was banned from music station. as unfortunate as it sounds, at least I don't have to go around looking through all their tv stuff. oh and plus they've never done commercials. laruku has done commercials and some of them are hilarious. nothing beats gackt. and I can't believe I can't find the melomix commercial. my gosh.

bed bed bed. after one last t&t video. oops.

warning: fanpost / long post ahead.  

dakara, prease to ignore if you don't give half a shit about tackey & tsubasa.

okay maybe not complete t&t fanpost but mostly anyway.




and then I understood for a while about rin and her oricon happiness. because I spotted the oricon charts for the week and OMG D'S SINGLE IS LIKE 9TH ON ORICON! like SQUAHH. D is like the only indie pride I had. really. never bothered much about indie bands at all. but D really caught my attention. somehow they don't really have that raw indie sound that most bands have. asagi's voice is so polished. although I must say that sometimes visual kei costumes do get a little boring. BUT they beat johnny costumes. *is still amazed that tsuba-kun is the culprit behind t&t's disaster costumes*





and now I'm hungry. and I'm sleepy. and I have to wake up at bleeding 8am.

gackt in 15 hours, laruku in 2 days and t&t in 5 days. argh. gackt's looks like it's full of nonsense (eh what's with the s&m cats man), laruku's is going to be good because hyde looks woohoo and t&t&T&T&T&T&T&T&T. you know the rest.

sleep.

BROG BROG!  

because nore INSISTS.

okay I've been dead for a few days because I ran away to this secluded part of tanah merah to live in recluse for 3 days. and then I came home, and then went for a feast, then got myself burnt. but because nore insists, I shall try to give a full account. under an lj cut it goes, unless I wish to kill all my friends. usually I don't care but this can get pretty long.

day one.

rin and I went to nore's house to get a lift from her dad into the place, since it was so ulu and both of us could make it early. so we reached there super duper early and sat outside the chalet blowing balloons. we looked like 2 crazy children blowing balloons and screaming at the balloons which flew away. not very fun attempting to blow 200 balloons with nowhere to keep them under control.

when we finally got in, we concluded that the aircon wasn't working. and YES MABEL DEPRIVED US OF LUNCH. hahaha but poopoo and rin went to get some anyhow. so we blew huge balloons and utterly scolded by jinghui because he couldn't put them up properly due to their immense size. ah well too bad. and they lasted so long! I was so surprised.

then the cake came. it couldn't fit into the fridge. nore told me it was 4 kilos. 4 freaking kilos. her mother attempted to feed an army man. then I assume everything else came shortly after that, because we all went upstairs to change. nore and yanqing had a yukata each to wear, I needed to transform myself into unglam tsubasa and rin had to turn into a neko maid. so a whole bunch of girls cooped ourselves up in the room trying to wear clothes. what a mess. mostly because my feather boa SHEDS. like wah lao eh.

the party went as planned, really. johnny music blasting, proper buffet (which included a very pathetic plate of sushi, an awkward bowl of red eggs, and damn good squid), kaneda one one kindaichi screening, usual cake cutting, singing, necklace presentation, photo taking blah blah blah. yossha.

soon we had to send everybody off on their way, so bye to goth-loli ida, japanese hairdresser (?) jing hui and badass yakuza girl wannabe jinx, ojiisan roy, takizawa wanting along with fuzz, weichun and audrey, japanese flag jocelyn and boyfriend, sasuke who looked as good as ojiisan roy (but much younger), shuuji in a skirt, long time married couple yanqing and naoto and a whole pile of other people. oh oh and annoying salaryman jiatao and poor poh si. and of course, little rae in a red yukata. I can't imagine her driving looking like that.

so we were left with nore's veg clan (who apparently suffered cardiac arrest when rin and I happily called for the veg clan to come forward for phototaking), rin the lovely french maid, ming boon the rich influential boss in dark coloured yukata, myself the fake tsubasa, and a seemingly half drunk natalie to stay the night.

we didn't really sleep, obviously. we watched t&t nonsense plus arashi going backwards like a bunch of goons and I stayed up to watch my boss my hero halfway and then I decided I should sleep.

day two.

and so we all finally more or less woke up and gathered for food. seriously. the veg clan left before I even knew it, and so it was left with the rest of us to eat the leftovers from the night before. we sat at the dining table and tried to finish rose syrup thingy from the drinks dispenser, but for some strange reason nore's dispenser seems to produce the damn drink. I don't think we finished everything inside. then ming boon had to go, and we all left the entire place in a mess, dirty plates, utensils, random plastic wrappers around the coffee table, styrofoam cups a plenty filled and half filled and empty. yay. so in that mess, nore nat rin and I settled in front of nore's lappie for more rubbish to watch. we watched a bit of kat-tun crap and then the my boss my hero resumed.

then rin went off, nat went upstairs to sleep some more and nore ended up napping like 3/4 the afternoon away. while I continued to watch my boss my hero UNTIL episode 8. because episodes 9 and 10 (the last two, that is) were FRENCH SUBBED. like thanks nore. so I decided to help clear the entire place. plus nore and I were supposed to take the streamers and balloons down, just that nore fell asleep.

so after doing all that it was like nearly 6 and we had to think about dinner. we finally decided on canadian pizza because stupid kfc has delivery service for orders above 80 bucks. *kicks kfc* and nore didn't want macs. she didn't feel inspired by the menu. so we ordered 2 hugeass pizzas from canadian pizza. I mean hugeass. 3 of us shared two 14" pizzas. power right. obviously we didn't finish that, so we threw the rest into the fridge.

soon after nore's parents came, because they wanted to help bring home more stuff so nore wouldn't have to lug half the chalet home. plus they wanted to sing karaoke. nore's dad is like expert at wiring mics man. so while they were blasting hokkien songs downstairs, 3 of us scooted upstairs with sufficient food and drinks and rotted upstairs, since nat was waiting to get a lift from nore's parents.

and we ended up watching a lot of t&t crap. x~dame pv never never ever fails to make anybody laugh. absolutely. plus ho summer pv is just too adorable. then we watched some kat-tun nonsense too. like poor fuutsu maru. man. and I told nat about the old old kame screaming yabaiyabaiyabai on the roller coaster clip. plus we watched preeeetttyyy ueda sing love in snow from kaizokuban. there are days I wish ueda had like super voice and then he could become this pretty vocalist demo...muri da ne. zannen.

then the parents left along with nat, and so nore and I were bored. to pieces. so we continued watching sushi oji. we watched a little before dinner, so I wanted to finish it since it was only 8 episodes. considering my feat in watching my boss my hero, 8 episodes shouldn't have proved a problem. but I guess it was because of that, I ended up falling asleep on episode 6 anyway.

day three.

nore kicked me awake at about 9am and said I had 45 minutes to change wash up pack and scoot out of the chalet. I was like GAH but dragged myself out of bed. after clearing my stuff upstairs, I went down to check if nore needed to clear anything else.

and boy what a THING she had to clear.

she nervously informed me that there was a lizard in the fridge. there was a bloody lizard INSIDE the fridge. like what on earth. I was like HURH?! but opened the fridge door to check it out anyway. and oh gross there was really a lizard inside on the shelf looking like it had been waiting for the fridge door to open so it could run out but the door never opened throughout the entire night and it froze (literally) inside there. then I looked again. nore was like huh what is..oh MY GOSH GAHH!

because there was another lizard inside. therefore, there were TWO stupid lizards inside the fridge. one was stuck on the shelf staring at the door hopefully, and the other was resting on the cling wrap that covered the huge bowl of fried rice. probably smelt the fried rice but couldn't get to it. either way, we refused to clear the lizards. we cautiously took the pizza box out though. I was like eh what if got lizard inside the pizza box also then how ah? nore was like GAH YOU OPEN THE BOX and ran away. but no lizards, so we ate the leftover pizza for breakfast anyhow.

and then we made our way out of the chalet, with like nore carrying 4 bags of stuff. apparently the parents were supposed to clear more stuff the night before but they didn't in the end. and it was drizzling. and then we missed the shuttle bus because the idiotic driver doesn't wait for people to come to the bus stand. I am so going to kill the service. even the downtown east one waits man. this is disgusting. in the end it began to pour like crap and we called a cab to nore's house.

the main gate of nore's house refused to open apparently, and so her brother and us managed to get everything out of the taxi and into the house and we got half wet. whatever. when I finally got home, my mum hadn't cooked yet so we had to go out for lunch. great. but by then I had dried considerably. but my hair was really pretty gross by then.


anyway nore and I decided to use the tampopo discount thingy on wednesday, before it expires. so we went calling people and managed to pool 7 of us to go for dinner together. and after eating ramen, chirashi sushi, sashimi and mentaiko, our bill chalked up to slightly over 100 bucks only, thanks to the 50% off. cool. then after that we all ran to get azabu sabo ice cream! the tofu flavour is a bit weird but it's pretty nice after all. so I should go 'catch up' on my lost 2 decades of not eating mr bean ice cream. ahaha.

but the whole point was that we got to eat our uni. mostly. and loads of raw fish from tampopo. tampopo raw fish rocks. although my sister still didn't understand why one can write a fanfic about maguro chan and kajiki chan. and you know, the fic is about two otoko sashimi and they're both chan. uui this is kameda man.

we still has 20% right nore? we must go someday before the month ends. squahhh tampopo is sucking our money awayyyyy.

and while walking to clarke quay at an insane speed from the bus stop, I swung my hand into a dustbin at the bus stop. there is no blue black but it hurts like anything when I press the area now. gosh I must have swung damn hard into that dustbin. sheesh.


then crystal messaged me the night before about going cycling, and I thought okay no problem. so we met this morning for mac breakfast which we nearly missed thanks to crys and her lousy sense of timing. hello girl you officially live the furthest from ecp now, okay? then we rented the bikes from 1145-1345. we got bloody cooked. cooked. we stopped by bedok jetty and saw some disturbing things. like floating fish and plastic bag jellyfish. oh and drunk seahorse. hahaha.

we walked forever to parkway to cool down, because I think we all got cooked. vicks said she doesn't seem really burnt. we'll see tomorrow. I feel like I'd been barbequed. plus I half look lobster-ish. so we sat around in borders, which totally looks like mph anyway.

so we lurked about the literature section mostly and after a while I even just sat down and read the cement garden (because it's not available in the libraries). later crys said she was headed for the toilet and left. an sms came in almost immediately after that and crys had messaged to say that fairy godmother was in the shop. fairy godmother. snort. that is a term from ages ago. ages. as old as the very intelligent one. is it as old? or older? whatever. on our way out he was still there. haha

then after that we wandered to old chang kee and then off to this 2nd hand bookstore/book rental shop thingy. I didn't know it existed. whatever. we didn't find anything there and so we went home.

stupid me fell asleep on the bus and missed the stop. so I had to wait longer to get home. utterly scorched. my mother still asked me about our wet weather plans last night. impossible man. wet weather plans.

I totally need to sleep. lj has stopped saving my entries. I hope this gets through. and I finished sushi oji and my boss my hero. now I must go send out the support letters, send out the other poor guy's letter too. efficient ica has sent the letter over. but guess what? they sent me someone else's letter along with mine. they suck you know, that grey building next to lavender mrt. plus I have a gigantic pile of clothes to iron, a pile of things on my table to be put away, and I NEED A JOB.

so if anybody out there has ANYTHING please tell me. short term if possible, because I will disappear for a good two weeks in july. after I've settled all that, then it's time to read vampire knight and watch byakuyakou. and freaking kick the concerts. I feel like murdering the people at jpopsuki sometimes. like EH one dvd is 4.35 gb please help to compress to 4.35 kthxbye.

the requiem et reminiscence is normal sized. 2 discs, about 6.9gb total. the light my fire again is 2 discs, almost 11gb. that's gross already. takitsuba best is freaking THREE discs and it's almost 20gb. that's like my mp3 player you idiots.

I'm going to kill someone before my comp gets killed.

goes to sleep.

shoulder ache.  

make that shoulders ache and foot ache. okay the foot ache was since yesterday. but my left shoulder pain is from slamming into the back of the bus driver seat when the stupid 100 braked so suddenly (and so hard) and my right shoulder pain is from carrying hell lot of things home.

and I mean a lot of things. here's the pile (and I mean PILE) of things that the church bunch came up with. and to think my sister helped with the list. MY GOODNESS.

1. a 900ml bottle of green tea from daiso
2. a 1litre carton of nutritea
3. a small pack of normal flavour nori
4. a pack of salted 'wheels'
5. a pack of expensive edamame
6. a large box of choco baby
7. a white mokona stuffed toy
8. a pair of white mokona bedroom slippers

firstly, I am never wearing that pair of bedroom slippers. what a disaster. (and it is all jon's fault. I'm freaking sure it is his idea.) the drinks weighed a tonne. but I took one look at the edamame and went muahaha you bought the expensive one. oh and all that stuff came in a big bag from daiso too. and the mokona is freaking big. HUGE, in fact. like yes mokona is very cute. but this is huge. I have no idea where jon procured such a large one. apparently charm was in charge of getting the slippers. great.

but one BIG question. OEI WHY NO ACCESSORIES.

haha as if I don't have enough of them. but hey that's usually the next thing that pops out in people's brains after stuffed toys. waileth. but you can never have enough accessories. hahaha I was staring at some today and then I told myself  "ah girl GO HOME". so sad. and I still think it's funny that I actually did want to buy this particular ring once but didn't, and the next thing I knew, I saw the same ring on takki. GOSH.

and why zhongyue doesn't want to come as takki. then I'll be all alone. poor tsubie-kun.

and I am still trying to get used to my huge purple layout. it is so purple. I'm wondering if I should change it to a lighter purple. but then I think it'll look weird on the screen. somehow it transforms my lilac and dull light purples into oddly bright colours. I'm too lazy to put their other halves here even though lj-cuts are tsukaeru today. I will do that another day. and I will do rat tail screencaps. that will be ultimate funny. in my opinion, that is. oops.

go to bed. so LATE.

new layout UP.  

okay there's something stupid about livejournal tonight and it refuses to let me do this in rich text format. but ANYHOW.

new layout.

and new default icon. because reita simply didn't match. and I think my purple-est icon is a D icon which I haven't released yet. but in any case, it was easier to crop the header picture. confirm match. haha.

so now it will be so purple. oh so purple. yes it features my two dearest semes of all time, because tsubasa and aoi are simply that. no matter what people say, I still think they're both seme. I meant to put their other halves here but I want it under an lj cut and since I don't remember the code and it refuses to change to rich text I can't do that. another day then.

and let's just say at least tsuba is wearing his kimono correctly. er aoi and uruha's kimono photoshoot was an oiran theme so er, they wore their obi in front. takki and tsuba wore their properly.

plus I removed some weird mole that was on tsubasa. I don't know why there was a mole there. tsubasa has no such mole. but removed anyway. and cleaned up aoi's face. aoi's scan was of poorer quality than tsubasa's, so I had to clear the painfully obvious lack of quality. yes those grey spotty things. ugh.

my left foot hurts from walking about so much today. but at least I got all my stuff set for nore's party. yay! and yes I will attempt a coat in 2 days flat. not much time I know, but argh no choice. got to complete the look. plus a coat will hide fats. hahaha

I will learn x-dame and yume monogatari properly and nore and I can go dance properly at ktv. but I need mic stand for those 2 songs. doing it with one hand is a little spastic. then again, the dance is already spastic -- no harm making it more spastic.

tired. must sleep. NORE REPLY MSN. my gosh.

ATTAYU.  

it's been in my head all day, thanks to nore. egiosi as well. stupid nino and ohno totally threw everyone's brains against the wall and smashed them to smithereens. but it's hilarious all the same. those two children.

and false freedom has arrived. I think over the years I've been worn out by assignments and projects and exams, so much so that there's no sign of exhilaration after the exams. I didn't feel anything and I still don't. I threw my 3217 into the big cardboard box and didn't feel anything besides okay shit now I have to start mugging the rest. the freedom is false after all.

but even so, I will do things. I need to find WORK my gosh. workkkk. account running lowww. plus I need to occupy myself after all. or I'll die of boredom at home. and then and then. and then I'm going to cash studios tomorrow. ROCKS. even though I've only successfully learnt like 10 t&t songs these 2 weeks I'm going to like sing them all. hahaha I am mad.

plus I still have byakuyakou left unfinished. yes I still haven't finished watching it yet. plus I want to watch sushi oji. and there was one more I wanted to watch. now I can't remember. plus I'm going to head for my new layout soon, and I will finally release my huge bunch of icons. my goodness. I think I have no more jrock screencaps to destroy already, so I should release the icons. I will release the non-jrock ones another day.

and I have 5 million things to do tomorrow. okay I'm exaggerating. as usual. but there are a number of things to be done over the weekend in all, so I shall do rubbish in the meantime.

but I want to finish pygmalion. while waiting to collect my stuff I went to bishan library to stone. and then I found pygmalion and decided to read. I had only read the first act previously, and it wasn't a fat book. in fact it's freaking skinny. and my sister found fuurin kazan in some library. she is terrible. she said it was super skinny too, no idea how they turned it into a taiga drama.

and actually I want to watch yoshitsune from the beginning. it should be easier to watch than fuurin kazan because I actually know the yoshitsune story pretty much and so I shouldn't really go crazy with all the names. OH plus tsubasa is hiding inside that show. and I mean hiding, because his role while famous, isn't too big. uh okay there are other proper people to watch besides those two goons.

and through a series of rubbish wiki links, I have amused myself greatly. it seems that fiVe did not turn into question? -- they are two different groups. but the keyboardist of fiVe moved to question?, and his name is ishigaki daisuke. there's something very familiar about the name (and the face), so I googled him. then I realised oh he has an elder brother called ishigaki yuma, which is an equally familiar name.

like DUH. yuma is TENNOUJI MEGUMI. AHAHAHA

couldn't stop laughing. and via another few random links, the eldest johnny junior is some guy called sano mizuki. that happens when mizuki marries sano izumi. OOPS. er no no, this sano boy turns 35 this year, never debuted, never stashed in any group. but that's mainly because he's always in stage shows. but he had a few dramas, so I went to see what he acted in. AND I NEARLY DIED.

he was in the first kindaichi. as matobe makoto. OMG.

I totally died laughing. off to my new layout I go. =))

a night of laughter.  

I watched the second part of nino and ohno doing things BACKWARDS. my goodness what were they thinking. can't stop laughing. the dorobou one is WIN in my opinion.

plus I went to watch the hito natsu e/yume monogatari performance which I took from nore but didn't watch after that. yes I watched it before but it's funnier in higher quality. yes higher, not high. *is saddened* 2 more minutes for 2 you 4 you. please tell me it has kakko tsukanai tonight. because the dumb part is that the song is only available in the normal edition. and obviously, everybody aims for the limited edition. so spastic.
I think I laughed too much. I'm hungry. it's true I didn't eat much today. but I'm hungry. or maybe there's something wrong with eating edamame, drinking pearly soy milk and coke at the same time. it doesn't go kaboom, but it doesn't exactly bode well. or at least so it seems.

guh one track spoilt. never mind. will get that fixed some other day. and this yume monogatari - christmas version is funny. besides the initial bells in the intro and verse, thereafter it's a spanish feel. totally. it's like they got the guy who did serenade to rearrange this song. okay there's bells in the middle too. like whatever. it's not bad, actually. but it's weirded. and because the arrangement is quieter, the KOHII no hana is even more obvious than before. HAHA.

I'm dreading the venus - eurobeat mix though. let's just try.

power. it's true techno. hahaha eh nore we play this at your party. it's venus okay! hahahaha I can't stop laughing. but I think I'll throw this album in another day. I will live with listening to do me crazy on repeat for another day. before I die laughing. (because I think they fast forwarded venus a little. I don't remember it THIS fast.)

there's something stupid about my internet again. you have no idea how long it took me to load stuff from imageshack just now. WHICH reminds me. I have an evil plan about my next layout. inspired by a completely new set of pictures. it's hilarious. I think we should leave kagrra, to strut their stuff. seriously. but I still have my evil plan.

on a fangirlish note, I think tackey & tsubasa have small feet. HAHAHA. and I have every right to be tsubasa for nore's party. you know why? because we're the same height! hahaha (unfortunately not the same weight. although I think tsubasa is certainly heavier now.) and his feet are only 24.5cm. my gosh. how did that happen. I'm not talking coherently. and I don't understand what's so 'album version' about this ho! summer. it's the same what. no? or I'm just not sensitive to such things. because usually these 'album versions' have very very slight differences only. and usually I'm not bothered to pick them out.

tsubasa solo songs need better titles. and this song sounds vaguely like some boa song. OOPS. but it really does. it has the make a secret pattern. but whatever. uh yes for some reason I listen to some boa. she isn't as bad as some people think she is. not an outright fan, but she deserves some listening to.

kakko tsukanai tonight!! hilarious.

oops. end of random post.

baka dakara.  

yes baka me started downloading a clip at past 1am to find that it will finish in 1h20min time. so now it's left with like 55min and I am going to die of boredom. okay nore's feeding me a few random clips here and there (plus youtube seems to be working).

just screencapped ho! summer. watching that pv makes me happy. really it does. and I have no idea why. I mean, they look stupid in every other pv lah. I refuse to take the slow song pvs. so boring. (and something tells me they probably look terrible in true heart.)

went to study at riang court with rin and nore. and then tomorrow nore and I are going to macs again. I think we're feeding macs money. and we're feeding tampopo money too. I like that extended hand thing the manager used! I swear the manager and that long haired spectacled china girl recognises us by now. we keep coming. we are nuts. well at least we didn't have ramen today. it's time to try something else! while we still have a discount, that is.

20 more minutes. so excruciating. I'm hungry again. my goodness. but tampopo rice ROCKS. I totally need a job. I am running out of cash man. okay not really out. but definitely low. DIE. even our attempts at binbo daisakusen totally failed. perhaps not totally, but because our view of food prices have gone totally upside down, actually we didn't save very much.

and it's already the 5th. so it's kodomo no hi. and er vio turns...uh oh. I don't remember how old he'll be. 35? I think. kamoshirenai. lazy to dig my handphone from under the table to check. those were really the days man. and his birthday is on kodomo no hi. hahaha. it cracks me up and I don't really know why.

I must remember to check the fridge for the half pack of edamame. I don't know if anybody eventually ate that half pack. because if nobody did, it's going to be one hard half pack of beans. oh oh oh and nore showed me super huge mame-chans. soramame. they dropped from the sky. OUCH. they is BIG.

and for dear nore and rin who think my 'bad grammar on purpose' is my own doing, actually it isn't. it's crystal's fault. residue from talking to her. she still talks like that too. (add in some flails and psh and meh and you're almost there.)

NORE IS NOT REPLYING ME ON MSN. I am so bored. 10 more minutes. just 10 more minutes. PLEASE WORK. or else I will be terribly sad. and the worst part is that I can only download 1 file every 24 hours. so if it doesn't work, I'll have to wait till wednesday to do this (because I am NOT staying up this late again).

I shall watch tackey fly off the chair again. hahaha I'm so evil.

so exciting. 10 seconds. okay time to watch. PLEASE TELL ME IT WORKS.

uh yes it worked. otherwise it wouldn't be cut for fangirlishness but cut for indignant yells. GOSH it's 3am. sleep.

5 years on.  

and so it has been 5 years. and I am still stunned by the 'why do you keep a blog' question. whatever. I suppose lj has been the longest running host though. I actually shunned a lot of blog places before this. but since I already had an account to keep myself in communities, I thought I might as well move here. gwen had a pile of reasons to shift, but I realised that besides the cancellation of the basic account (which totally sucks man), nothing else affects me. not now, at least.

for now, I'll continue in my rubbish spouting, spazzed fangirling, lame icons and rants. (ohhh yes and tackey and tsubasa celebrate with me!) hahaha sorry but that screencap from x~dame is just priceless. never mind that tsuba-kun looks damn ugly in it.

and today people got married. elena and albert got married and I don't know who rebecca married. oops that sounds bad. but I don't really know rebecca so never mind. and the skit was so something that only marcus would come up with. and carry it out, for that matter.

and on a not so related note, some people thought that screencap looked like t&t at their wedding dinner. they look like two grooms. but two grooms beats izam fighting with his wife over wearing the wedding gown. anyday. I'll never forget that. that was disgusting. it didn't help that I couldn't stand izam. poor girl. I doubt that was even a problem she had thought of in the first place.

on a completely unrelated note, I have 2209 to go. and I am so lazy to do anything about it. a pile of notes, slightly less than half the coursepack to read, and it's freaking open book. I am so going to end up half memorising the wrong things. I am still slightly annoyed that 2209 isn't an essay paper. short answers are just weird for the module. I am trying not to complain because at least short answers won't kill my hand. but I am so lazy to study.

I feel like making a tonne of icons like NOW. but I'm afraid it might kill my computer forever. already just opening the torrent and veoh and photoshop seemed to have stunned my computer a little. and I didn't do much to that picture above. or perhaps I should just try for a new layout. that sounds good. just do things slowly. I suddenly realised the sadness of 1gb ram. because actually even the 3gb ram thing in school lags a little sometimes.

sheep sheep my computer needs more sheeeeeeep.

off to photoshop I go. will save the 'disastrous t&t' picspam for another day.

we are still tsuki tsuki tomo.  

indeed. in fact it has only gotten worse. now it's

aaaaannnnnnddd we're.....
tsuki tsuki tomo
getsu getsu tomo
gatsu gatsu tomo
RAITO TOMO!

tsuki tsuki tomo
besuto tomo
gomi da kedo
SAISU TSUKI TSUKI TOMO!

okay I added the 2nd stanza. and it's equally lame. all because jinx added the su tsuki tsuki tomo idea. oh and we've even thought of the mtv. we'll be 4 xiao long baos inside the wooden container which will be labelled as the shouga jinja. hahaha so now we've turned into a ginger cult. my gosh I'm so sorry if any of you don't understand this. in fact I think it's for your own good that you don't.

and yes nore we ARE officially more gomi than cheryl.

on a more sombre note, today is hide's 10th death anniversary. I can hardly believe it. it's been 10 years. 10 bloody long years and yoshiki is still making money out of this dead man. I mean, as far as I know, although the guitarist was replaced for the reunion concerts, he's still indirectly making money out of hide. but let's not talk about that. my sister has a spanking new layout in memory of hide.

I want a spanking new layout too. I have an idea but I'm not sure if I have suitable pictures that will work out. I will go hunt soon. aoi and uruha give me fantastic ideas. absolutely. and their new look is absolutely breathtaking. I'm still not over that. I feel like getting my hands on that pamphlet but I don't have that much money. okay technically it's 2800 yen without everything else included. but hello it's a pamphlet. not an album. gah.

and I still cannot believe nobody ripped the takitsuba clips. shinjirarenai. and I am watching so much gomi these few days I can't believe it. but honestly I can't believe the day I've been waiting for is actually here already. I was waiting for the laj exam to be over, because that's when the worst is over. literally. laj was rubbish. absolutely.

it's awfully late. sleep time.
