My Wish Came True

I was one of the 12,894 viewers who held our breaths over what happened in Hong Kong at 3pm today. *insert shit eating grin* lol. Isn't it absolutely fated that today just happens to be a holiday so I can watch the press conference at UStream?

It is SO good to see them sitting together. In fact, I was already squealing looking at the airport arrival photos with all five in one shot. Heheh. I can't wait to show you the PC pictures because omaigoodness... J was seriously handsome, he looks like a mix between So Jisub and Park Yong Ha.

Anyhow, for starters they're going on a World Tour! Another OMG details is that they will be singing new songs. Waaaaah~ NEW SONGS!

The concert tickets are open like end of this week!! So fast! Unfortunately, the air tickets are not exactly cheap TT____TT But by golly I've got to save up money for the flight ticket. By hook or by crook. Taiwan? Hong Kong? Anyone nak ikut?

Of course, now that they're back... HOW AM I GOING TO FUND MY LUNA SEA BINGES?! And I have other fandoms too boohoohoo.

Bursting with Love

Last year, my heart was empty and I grappled very hard to find a place I fit in. Back then I was devastated with the materialism of Kpop and realised that I hadn't especially been attentive of my Jrock self. So I filled it up with so many things at once that I may have lost sight of what matters most.

Thus after 1 year and 2 months from this post [Just So You Know], here is where I stand now. I cleaned up nicely, ne? :)

1. Luna Sea 2. Shinhwa 3. KinKi Kids 4. Sugizo 5. Rentrer en Soi 6. MUCC 7. NoGoD 8. Chemical Pictures 9. abingdon boys school 10. FAKE? 11. NEWS 12. INORAN 13. D 14. Kanjani8 15. D'espairsRay 16. DEAD END 17. Satsuki 18. Versailles 19. Dir en grey 20. Kagrra, 21. DaizyStripper 22. DELUHI 23. SID 24. X

Comments:
- I thought I shouldn't put #3 at the same level as #1 and #2, but I realise I love them as much.
- #5, oh #5. Absence makes the heart grow fonder. And Takumi's regret doubles it.
- Entrees #7 and #8 scored high because of their fondness for each other. I'm also biased coz of Jimi. Heh. Besides, NoGoD is AWESOME!
- Shuffled a lot of names to make way for other potential new groups like #13, #21 and #22 although #10 isn't a newbie. I just hadn't explored FAKE? before and am regretting it.
- #11 and #14 are here because they make me laugh and smile like a noona fan. mwahah.
- #17 manages a low rung since he hasn't even release an album and his solo singles are okay - not great. Yet I still think he's the best vocalist ever (2nd only after Ryuichi).
- #24? Sigh. Only due to Sugizo. I'll feel bad if I completely diss hide's memories. But then it's only memories. In with the new, out with the old! Bah. I'm a contradiction.

Say goodbye to:
- Pierrot: Let bygones by bygones.
- V6: Hm, easily replaced with NEWS and Eito. And Tokio's single sounds better.
- hide & Acid Black Cherry: I haven't been listening to them in a long time.
- Matenrou Opera & 12012: Not impressed.
- Hyoshin: The first half of 2010 for me, aren't slow and saaaad ballads. Ick. Maybe I'll be ready once he comes back in September.
- ExistTrace & DangerGang: Whatever.

And the Biggest Loser goes to...
- the GazettE: Ugh. My age isn't the issue. They seriously dried up. Their obsessed fans are no help either.
- Duel Jewel: Nope, no more chances.
- Jinkaku Radio: I got turned off because the vocalist's personality is annoying.

If you compare the artwork, The Heart is no longer bleeding out of loneliness and no longer does it want to escape to a place where it will be accepted.

I'm home sweet home with my VK fandoms.

Full Moon and Loneliness

Getting swamped with work and becoming lazier when at home leaves me less bloggish lately. So here's my past week in a nutshell:

1. Raya shopping all done last Saturday. Shopped til we dropped, didn't we? Thanks Farah and Nwar.
   
2. LUNA SEA announcement on 25st August 2010 regarding an urgent press conference to be held on 31st Aug. The very same night as I came home from work, I saw the most beautiful full moon swathed in clouds ♥
   
3. Compulsively joined and am following Luna Sea Malaysia Slaves group, their World Wide Team group and the World Wide Team twitter because I am dedicated in that way. Will finally meet up other M'sian fans! ABOUT TIME!!
   
4. KinKi Kids having their KKL moment on SDK means they still love each other. Coupled with the 24 Hour TV special clip of them both wearing Christmas theme tees? A great balance between KinKi and Luna Sea, I say.
   
5. Watched that hilarious CM for Koichi's BPM [ver 1] and super cool [ver 2]. Hahaha! Dorky Kochan ftw. The album comes out next week! :D
   
6. Dongwan finally noticing that he's Donnie Yen's long lost brother. Please compare their nekkid tops. Even their name is similar.
   
7. Having proven that Takumi still keeps in contact with Satsuki, aka Sacchan his darling bestfriend, and Mika AND shows up at their lives (from his latest post) has made me miss Rentrer again. But him talking a lot about regret lately is making me depressed. I know he's had drinks with Ryo and Ryo is now playing with Satsuki. Only person left is Shun. Where is he?

OT3 is Alive!

Kochan went to that love motel together with Nagase and Tsuyopon?! *0*

Koichi, I seriously did not expect you would follow your BFFs on one of their fishing trips! Gosh, I love this man. Shows how much he deeply cares about pleasing his wife aikata and bestfriend.

The trip was first revealed during a 2009 Shoujiki Shindoi episode with Nagase. At that time, neither Tsuyo nor Nagase mentioned about Kochan :D

I LOVE THIS OT3! ♥

Hamba Abdi Selamanya

Support LUNA SEA Slaves Malaysia fanpage at Facebook!

I get so giddy thinking about LUNA SEA that I may cry for absolutely no reason when I wake up on Wednesday 25 August 2010.

It's like I have a switch deep inside that turns me into an emotional wreck whenever I dwell on the subject of their disbanding (aka 'hiatus' if you don't want to admit it) and their getting back together reunions. Oh yeah. I'm a total nutcase.

Because they are so awesome and diverse that it sucks not to like them. Nah, I'm just kidding. But seriously, whom ever who has listened to LUNA SEA and doesn't like their music is... is... is in need of help from me. MSN me or email me your preferences in music and I may be able to consult you with a dose of LS that you will be comfortable with. 

AH! I should design a new blog background, ne? Tapi takut tak sempat... Sebab Sabtu ni nak pegi shopping dekat PKNS Shah Alam pulak. Fufufufu~

Raya Shopping Mode Pt 1

[Assuming that I will go on a 2nd shopping trip, then yes the post title will stay]

This morning was our cinema tour trip at TGV Wangsa Walk and since I'm already in that part of KL, what the hey right? If not for the need to replace my sad case work shoes, I probably wouldn't have been so semangat and decide to jelajah Jalan TAR on a *****in' (note: No swearing during Ramadhan) Saturday. Hani was sporting enough to join me after the tour and we asked CVS to drop us off at Setiawangsa.

*stretches legs* This is why these trips are made only once a year - during Raya Sale. The massive amount of people. The staggering heat. The inability to bargain. The loss of money to God knows what I just bought from that stall behind there.

I also bought a replacement telekung coz mine has a big hole in its kain. -__- But urgh seriously, I'm no good at haggling. Always always bring along someone who knows value for money. Sigh.

A brief few stops for anak tudung and tudung lycra before we launched ourselves towards Sogo (although found ourselves lost twice ^^;;) where I grabbed whatever I wanted then cabut-ed as fast as we could. Voila, two new comfie Larrie shoes in my shopping bag.


Saw a lot of ready made baju kurung but meh. Cotton everywhere yet nothing that catches my fancy. And what the fffffish lah (note: I'm having too much fun censoring), where are all the Korean silk? No silk, no can do! I don't want to die of heatstroke in Johor >_<

Therefore~ Second contingency plan is to find time to travel by bus to Shah Alam and at least purchase a couple of cotton kurungs for work and sssssilk for the 1st day of Raya. Budget available: RM200. Eep! Wish me luck.

PS The Expendables is kinda entertaining for its kaboom and blood 'spatters'. Not memorable, but the no-reasons-needed butchery is definitely fun to watch. Hmm eventhough the head explosions are plenty, I wonder why I'm ok with this but hated the gore in Kick Ass.

PS #2 Hurr I went O_O when I saw this pic. No offense to Big Bang fans but pfft. Fandom sharing with kids is... Embarassing.

Ramadhan Sudah Tiba

Why didn't I realise sooner that I don't need to download Tobo Bengoshi via MU because it's torrentable at D-Addicts. Aiyoh could've saved time lehh.

Anyhoo~ Selamat berpuasa kepada semua. Heheh, actually in just 5 mins it would be 'Selamat berbuka,' ne?

Am going to skip terawih again tonight. My excuse is that there's a meeting tomorrow morning and I need to prepare for it. :x <-- kena panah petir karang. InsyaAllah, esok aku pegi. Huu.

This Is For Leda

I apologise to all my unwritten reviews. This particular single is so sick it's practically begging to be talked about :D

DELUHI's newest single 'Departure' is all kinds of awesome that I can't find any words to explain it. So please go on and read Go's review because he sums it up pretty nicely. Some DELUHI fans may not like it because of its departure (yes, a pun) from their normal writing. Departure fits in real nice with me. *wink*

I hope it's not just a one-off trial and error to prove that they can shock people. I mean, c'mon... they've stayed safe for too long that I gave up on them last year. Maybe 2 or 3 more songs like this in future would be enough. So hey if they keep this up, I'd be even more impressed.

2010 is looking good so far. I've 'attained' Chemical Pictures and NoGod onto the top of my list. Leda-san and his bandmates might be able to cross over. *crosses fingers*

Oh Noooez

Since Koichi's SHOCK habis semalam and he'll be focusing on KinKi and his solo tour next.... I may have to save money for his concert merchandise! (No folders nor booklets for me, I have my sight on keychains/phone dangles)

WHY ARE YOU BOMBARDING THIS TO ME ALL AT THE SAME TIME?? >_<

Yeaaah I complained about them not releasing anything. Now I'm complaining because they're releasing too many expenssssive things when I have other obligations too!

Plus, Seoul Trip and Japan Trip?! Dirt cheap prices that makes more possibilities of me going there to watch butai., right? Riiiight?

I don't know any rich guys. Hurrrr.

... My previous posts have been only about money. That is. So. SAD.

Ikat Perut

My wishes have come true. But I will have to say goodbye to random shopping tendencies, concert-going expenditure and hotel sleepovers during these remaining 5 months in 2010. Have to reduce big spending on dining too :(

These cost a bomb but are necessary. And naaasib baik aku kumpul duit awal-awal for:

1. KinKi Kids J concert DVD [Limited Edition]
2. KinKi Kids J concert DVD [Regular Edition]
3. Domoto Koichi new album BPM [Limited Edition version A] that comes with BPM concert DVD

 
I feel bad for not immediately buying Chemical Pictures' 3 newest/upcoming singles Hinawajuu, Deringger and yet-to-be-known-5th-single-title. Not sure if my 1 contribution would count in Oricon charts. Considering I actually pre-ordered Tokarev and Beretta without much hesitation, I went and apologised at Jimi's twitter ^^;;

The plan is now in motion to ensure I save up enough money for Luna Sea's announcement (which will be on 25 August!) and Canon Powershot S90.
