Jailbreak? Been There, Done That

I have repent my ways... My first (and only? har har) 2011 resolution to upgrade Sugichan to iOS4 is finally done. No longer will I need to worry about my (tethered) jailbroken iPod Touch which needed to be jailbroken every single time the device dies. Frankly, it was a big hassle because obviously you'd want your iPod to always be switched on mah.

After months of failure, yesterday I decided to wipe my C: Drive and install a fresh copy of Windows because the viruses and malwares on it was why the device couldn't restore to its factory setting in the first place.

Whewwwwwwww~ What a relief. Now I can fully use it as a travel guide and I'll be able to bring it on board flights for our upcoming trips to Seoul and Bangkok. AND use it during the long journey.

p.s. I used to shut it off, which meant rendering it useless while traveling. Because you know what will happen if electronical devices are used in airplanes, right? KABOOM!!!

Busy Tak Hengat

Thought my fever had gone away so yesterday morning I followed my mom, grandmom, adik, aunt and cousin to Sogo and Jalan TAR for a spot of retail therapy. Turns out I didn't have time to go look for new shoes -_- and bad BAD mistake drinking that root beer float. Furthermore, I went and sapu so much oily fingerfood. Dari tak batuk, dah start batuk. No ubat batuk pulak tu.

I want to go to 1U's Opera~ them pretty shoes have been on my mind since last month and I need to try them out. (Shopping tak hengat, Arfah? *smacks self*)

There are Luna Sea concert reminders everywhere now. Well, the tour does begin in another 3 months. After reading Sugizo's latest blog update, I'm sorta thankful I won't be going for the Hong Kong concert leg. T'would be quite dangerous, won't it?

During the ten (days) since I arrived in the U.S., 

I've been carefully watching the problems happening in Japan. 

How come there are so many things that don't go well in this world? 

We need insightful leaders to respond calmly 

and peacefully to the issue between Japan and China regarding the Senkaku Islands. 

After all, no one wants to situation to grow any more complicated.

I truly hope that LUNA SEA's scheduled December concert in China
takes place without a hitch.

Lagipun kt Malaysia ni pun banyak je racial disharmony, takyah gi jauh-jauh utk tengok.

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.

Ugh! Banyak Sampah

The funny thing about keeping diaries is that you'd forget all about their existence and embarassing content. Not until 6 years later when you're clearing out unnecessary sentimental memorabilia from your room. You rediscover the stupid little things you wish you hadn't done and spoken. From this excavation project, you may come to realise that now you're just an echo - an empty shell - of what you thought your life would be like.

There are brief flashes of regret which come and go. But it doesn't ache to have lost the chance. 

Life goes on. I make my own chances.

From July onwards

I was having a look-see through a shop fanpage and after a few clickety-clicks, I have just spent more money on clothes. Granted it was only RM26 in total and I did promise myself not to shop anymore this month. Then my Compulsive Shopper Self kicked in and I succumbed to the coolness of a certain Dumbledore-esque tshirt.

Haih. I still haven't paid Farah for KinKi and dagnammit I am saving up for a Canon Powershot S90!

So... with plans on not splurging on unimportant stuff, I have these to look forward to:

July - birthday celebration ♥ wheee
August - KinKi J con DVD release, hopefully arrives in August
September - new and final season of Smallville

Three happy end-of-the-rainbow stuff to make the stress go away. Amongst others there will also be upcoming album and single releases from VK Land and Jyaniz.

Must. Stay. Sane.

The Old

Apparently Friendster blog's commenting problem has been resolved. No notification received. Only got like an email about moderating a spam comment. Nyeh. I've already gotten cozy here at Blogger. Should I just close my Friendster account?

Wonder Girls, Beast, Brian Joo? Er, aku paling sanggup pn bayar teket plg murah for WG and Brian.

Sugizo and Gackt? GILER BEST.

Work? Sucks.

My Deepest Condolences

Al-Fatihah buat arwah Pak Long di Senai who passed away last Thursday. Walaupun baru berkenalan dengan arwah tak lebih dari 3 tahun but his kind heart will forever be remembered. Yoi, please don't blame yourself for the loss and be strong for your family.

Takziah jugak buat keluarga Hj Ariffin who lives just 2 houses away. Arwah dgn isteri kembali ke pangkuan Allah on the 29th, the day of my brother's kenduri kawen.

To Yokoyama You, may her soul rest in peace.

To all the brave souls who died for Gaza. May Allah bless you.

So many deaths within just 5 days. So many lives snuffed away in such a short time. My heartfelt tears goes to all these families. To those who did not have a chance to spend the final hour with their loved ones.

Let's hope the rumour about the passing of Ken's mother is proven soon, false or otherwise.

Upcoming VK To Look Out For: Part 2

In this previous post, I didn't expect CPS' Tokarev and Beretta maxi singles to have 3 more siblings. And since I already purchased those two, should I get the other three? *gulp*

NoGod's Kakusei PV looks awesome and the single packs a double whammy (as expected). You DEFINITELY have to listen to them. Ignore their wacky image if you must because they are really a force to reckon with.



Additional upcomings:

1. Creature Creature [release date N/A]
   -- Wouldn't wanna miss this new album! Morrie kinda stuck on me after I began listening to DEAD END.
2. LUNA SEA Reboot [release date N/A]
   --No idea what the hell this is but who cares? It's LUNA SEA. They can never go wrong. Mwahaha.

Plue is not Blue

My sisters and I have a running joke about how Kakak's obsession with the colour purple is discoloring her life. All the tones in her life now are plue, pellow, ped, plack and so on.

And because I feel like it:

Your rainbow is strongly shaded blue.

What is says about you: You are a tranquil person. You appreciate friends who get along with one another. You share hobbies with friends and like trying to fit into their routines.

Find the colors of your rainbow at spacefem.com.

Chirp and Swim?

I just realised MUCC's Ameba blog (aka Ameblo) is constantly updated by Yukke, and sometimes the other three, with pictures and random posts. Together with their Tweets, I'm calculating they post at least around 30 times per day. What are they nuts? Correction, are Yukke and Tatsuro THAT free?

Hahah. I'm still a bit shocked over the extremely carefree information sharing they show on the Internet. Which is a good thing considering they aren't stuck up. And their frequent posts are about them in the studio preparing new stuff for us so yay!

Plus, if they're on a Euro or US tour I don't think they'll update at all? So yay for the luck I get at this moment when I first join Twitter and initiation to 'know' MUCC a lot better.

Sorry bout the header. I have no idea how an amoeba moves or if it makes any sound. They split up into several parts, don't they? ^^;; I'm such a Science student failure.

Chirp?

No, Tweet.

Succumbed. Sigh.

In just one day, my updates were filled up with Yukke's and Tats's constant tweets. Seriously loh, Yukke updates like every 30 mins. *slaps forehead*

Sugizo-sama, you had better start an account!!

Rivals Turned Bestfriends?

Sugizo finally updated his blog. Yippee! Apparently the person who kidnapped him wasn't Yoshiki. Turns out to be... Gackt. He took on a big responsibility to compose the soundtrack to Gackt's "Nemuri Kyoshiro Burai-Hikae" musical. Like WOW for Sugizo-sama.

Sugizo AND Gackt? I really didn't see that coming xD

Well who would've thought? I swear I remember reading both of them had admitted how they hated each others' guts before beginning to work in the same band - S.K.I.N. Truth be told, Malice Mizer and Luna Sea weren't exactly on talking terms, yes?

Looks like the failed superband, brought these two knuckleheads stubborn men face-to-face for more than one reason. Damn Yoshiki for being right for once.

Sloth Slow Internet

Internet so slow. Grr. I can't download anything from Mediafire or Megaupload.

I want to watch fifth episode of Troubleman and first episode of Tsuki no Koibito! =__=

On a separate matter, Tsuyoshi's eyebrows have finally grown back. His side parted hair and barely-there eyebrows almost reminds you of his 'Moto Kare' days (10 years ago), ne? Plus, he looks a tad younger now than he did last year. Can't wait to watch tonight's Domoto Kyodai :D No SDK tonight? Apparently they're showing F1 @ Milan because I can only see Matchy-san talking to someone... in Milan. Right.

Oh and speaking of tv shows, I had on Nihon TV earlier and Oshareism aired old episodes of the Shiseido uno FOG Bar boys (Oguri, Tsumabuki, Eita, Haruma) and Okada Junichi. However, KeyHole purposely lagged right when Okada was telling his story about KimuTaku. Grr. Unlike SDK, they didn't specify the airdate in those clips so I'll have to google for that episode. If I can remember.

Upcoming VK To Look Out For

Meh. I lost my will to review anything VK right now. Maybe next month after this current slump? What a boring year.

So far I am anticipating:

1. Chemical Pictures - Sekai wo Utta Otoko case 1 Tokarev [Maxi Single 2010.05.26]
   -- first official single with new lineup! I'd support them if I own a credit card but oh well.
2. NoGoD - Kakusei [Single 2010.06.09] **
   -- even Elec/Jimi (from above band) has high praises for them. they're surging forward and nobody can stop them mwahahaha!
3. MUCC - Yakusoku [Single 2010.06.09] *
   -- another ballad, but def. better than 'freesia'. Check out the perf!
4. MERRY - The Cry Against... [Single 2010.08.04]
   -- the preview sounds better than their previous works. Who knows, eh?
5. Plastic Tree - Moonlight [Single 2010.07.28]
6. D - untitled [Single 2010.07.28]

Over at since1997★, there are photos taken by a super rich Tsuyoshi fan influenced by his Berlin photobook. Damn, I tabik spring to them lorh.

That VEB Orange shop sure looks like fun! I wish Shinhwa would visit it. I hope Dongwan does stop by Berlin during his vacation to that undisclosed European country. Ohhhh how I long for a Europe Trip ;_;

Labor Work

CO had a gotong-royong session yesterday to install the new tables, chairs and cabinets. Marcel's in a graceful mood to revamp the look and feel of the office by standardising the furnitures so now we'll be in IKEA Land! lol.

I don't much like the small sized keyboard and mouse tho. They're too fragile so I can't vent my frustration on 'em anymore.

Check out the shiny new lcd monitor (which is only a week old). Woohoo!



The Tokio Hotel concert is tonight! I've listened to 'Humanoid' for a few times but nothing sticks in my memory. Currently I'm obsessed about Yoshida Brothers pulak tu. Wrong timing siot -_-

Aiyaa... I really need to get up now to sidai baju and buang sampah before I leave the house T_T

Signs

Ugh. Am not able to leave comment even when I'm logged in. Thanks for letting me know, twinnie and Fel. I just messaged support but if they can't mend their stupid program I might really move.

I hope they won't suddenly make all my stuff disappear again. My last backup was... x_x December 2009?! *exports xml*

Eeyeow!! My head is spinning after having two cups of McDonald's coffee. Looking at the below picture from Yoko's solo con makes the pain much MUCH worse.



NANDEYANEN?! X_____________X

Evolutionary Jyaniz

Huh? What? How come Jyaniz related websites can display real images now?

Anyhoo~ No news of Koichi at all. Paranoia feeds on silence. Please don't be in Malaysia watching F1! *slaps self*

But woooah I don't mind him mentioning something in his articles about Schumacher driving a car fueled by Malaysian oil. Tak sabar nak merasa lagi bangga.

Arashi, SMAP, V6. Will KinKi's Domoto Kyodai site also undergo an evolution?

Cough. SMAP as BigBang? Tsk tsk.

Toma Daaaisuki

Toma Toma Toma Toma Toma Toma Toma Toma.

But completely unrelated to Toma, there are ants lying dead on the floor of my bedroom after getting tipsy and drunk with perfume. My precious L'occitane is the only substitute on hand sebab takde bug spray. Sadistic dan pemurah sungguh aku ni.

Updates!

• Mama Nurul and baby Ariq Asyraaf are safe and healthy.


• My third nephew is down with the pox and is crestfallen for falling ill during school holiday.


• I have yet to review items I should be reviewing like since last month omg.


• Suju is here in Malaysia and I don't care.


• Sugizo and Takumi have not updated their blogs in weeks and I'm dying for oldschool Jrock instead of scouting for new bands.


• Stress and pressure doesn't sit well with me. I need more KinKi Kids stuff to cheer me up.


• Erm, maybe NEWS can ganti KinKi for awhile.


• Megaupload is so shitty these days. The combination of MU and Celcom is beyond shite. SAIYAKU! -_-


• And omg Toma is so cuuuute when he's with Yoko and Hina. How can I let him go now?


• I hope that little something comes right on time!

[Edit: Oh! Amazing~ Takumi posted something new today! Same psychic levels ftw xD]

I shall end this update post with a short rant because I don't like how cruel some people can be towards their bestfriends.

Hearing bad stories about an old friend whom I thought was beyond human degradation is very shocking. Makes me wonder how she lives without true friends. If I'm cold and heartless, she's just... plain... (please insert your choice of cuss word here) pathetic.

p/s: too many things to tag. guh. lazy.

Willing Self Not To Sleep

So many things to do tomorrow... I thought I needed to stay awake to make sure Matchy-san's SDK ep is downloading since my connection was very slow earlier. Now MF suddenly laju pulak.

Ok~ should go to sleep now so can wake up 1 hour earlier to watch it! :D

If you haven't been following MusicJAPAN Plus for their interviews and news, you better go head there now.

It's a pretty comprehensive digital magazine site with all the latest VK and Jpop news. I spotted grammar mistakes but they've got everything under one roof. *thumbs up*

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="420" caption="When too lazy to download, I jz pop in here."][/caption]

Although I may be biased because the first issue had SUGIZO on their cover. Mwahah.

Shigoto! Shigoto!

Workdays are boring and slow when Farah's not online T_T
