Slowing down

Sorry I haven't been updating much in here or FB. I seriously don't know how I lived my life lately until I felt too tired after work to even open my PC. Gosh, not even the idea of downloading Dongwannie's performances could rouse me to escape from the bout of laziness that hits me in the evenings.

Right after the trip to Kedah for my cousin's wedding last weekend, I've been so so malas to go online. Stress combined with an urge to finish the book I've been procrastinating (and i'm in the final few chapters now *whew*) would probably extend until a few weeks more. Mian.

Of course, I can still make time for eat outs with my loved ones ^^

Wifely Duties: Unveiling The Secret

Hellish long post. Approach with caution.

I arrived late at Berjaya Times Square yesterday, braving the journey alone since Aish and Jerry would only leave much later. By the time I reached Starbucks it was 3.30pm and I was the last person to retrieve my album.

The MY-Shinhwa representative, Sally, told me not everyone managed to come for the short meet up and was highly annoyed that she has to lug all the unclaimed items back with her. I almost remarked that I went through all that shite during the Kingdom era but stopped before she'd think I was a smartass and because I didn't exactly want to reveal my past.

So I started small talk with her while she was passing over my poster and album (I was trying hard not to squeal) and then we continued on talking when she began handing a few smaller items into my hands. 'Eh?', I thought, 'What the heck is she putting in my hands lar?'

Then I looked down and holy schmolly... They were tiny gifts from Yeonin (they're like the most infamous official fanclub for Dongwan). All the strength in my body at that time was focused on restraining my fangirl alter ego from bursting out and making an ultimate fool of hermyself by dancing around in circles. Pffffft. =_= Ok, so I was exaggerating.

But damn me for being a good actress as I completely plastered on an utterly calm look on my face when all I could think of in my head was: OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! STICKERS! OMG! OMG! HANDPHONE SCREEN WIPER! OMG! OMG! OMeffingG!!

Yeah funny how I almost lost my composure over these silly things (as compared to the poster and album wor). It's just that I didn't expect them at all, you know? Hihihi. I'm definitely pitting to preorder the repackaged version with Yeonin. Thank you, Yeonin!

Anyway, this second album of his contains 1 photo and lyrics book with the CD inserted at the back and 1 super cool notebook. Oh but I doubt I'll be using the notebook. It's just going to sit right next to my unblemished KDW Diary. ^_^

I will most probably listen to it after I put up the poster. SQUEEEEEE! *sighs contentedly and stares at the delicious pictures*

PS, I so need to go on a spazzing session with my gals. ;D

If all goes well, I'll be picking up my Kim Dong Wan second album copy tomorrow afternoon.

Kanpai~!

Memoirs of a male geisha II

The WOWOW released vids of both summit days were harshly cut up. At least the ones I got off torrent. But so far:
  1. Luna Sea; whom besides X managed to own Ajinomoto Stadium on Day 2. Damn, they were really in their game. Watching "In Silence" (my most favouritest song) live made me want to cry since they rarely play it during concerts.

  2. X Japan and Muteki Band; I skipped all the Drama King sessions, but performance-wise.. I think they (pft, Yoshiki) ought to seriously end the reunion before their hearts legacy burns out. It was awesome when nearing the end, where all the bands except Diru came on stage for a raucous show of "X".

  3. D'espairs Ray; Only "Brilliant" was uploaded?! Mind you, they were brilliant so I hope someone will put up their whole session (if any).

  4. MUCC; Again, only ONE song. But I looooooved "Fuzz" live cos Tatsurou is just so infectious.

  5. Dir en grey; Still downloading. Not looking too forward to them (you know how I feel about the 'new' Diru) since they went absent during Muteki Band performance. Hmm.

  6. Spread Beaver; Yes, now I'm looking forward to something good. Bring on the best of hide's music, baby.


A couple more bands available to download are Versailles, heidi and the Underneath. Dare I ask if
T.M.Revolution,
Phantasmagoria and
OBLIVION DUST gets uploaded? I wanna see Takenori-san!

On a more general issue, Hyung's now back from Tokyo (Okaeri!). And guess which ultra famous blonde Jrocker she saw jaywalking at Shibuya wearing-shades-at-night, talking-oh-so-loud and ignoring-all-the-pointings-and-mutterings-and-fan-worshippings?

Holy pffffft. Yep. Yoshiki-sama. *cries* How come I only realise she was there during the festival weekend?!

No secrets between us, please?

Who's that woman who dared to flaunt her tightly-pinched plastic face and act so blisteringly skanky infront of you?

And how dare you fall for someone so cheap like that. Shame on you!

Nuh uh. Couldn't wait. I watched the MV.

So thank goodness I already pre-ordered his album with poster, mind you (haven't I mentioned this before? :x). Don't think I can stop from downloading it before I get my copy.

Memoirs of a male geisha

I CAN'T WAIT TO WATCH! xDD Thanks to twinnie for letting me know vids are already up. And thank God I just bought an external HDD Luna Sea @ hide Memorial Summit *rolls over and dies*

The X torrent will be next. Dunno why each group performances are being split apart. My guess would be the easier for fandoms?

X and LS and MUCC (Tats + Miya) and TMR all on one stage, together, will totally pwn my life right now. And then there are all the rest of the summit days with DesRay , Spread Beaver and Diru.. *throws work-stress out the window*

신화 때문에

Me, twinnie and Mishiewashie met at KL Sentral McD for our much-needed Shinhwa obsession session (haven't done this for a long time, ne?). We unwrapped our newly arrived Shinhwa normal edition parcel with unsuppressed glee.

K800i_080503shinhwa_spazzing1

I really didn't care if anyone stared at us doing the fangirling thing xD

Hey! The mini photobook is from the same photoshoot for the limited special edition one... The novelty (almost) wore us off since we'd already ogled the bigger and extensive photobook to death.

Well, at least the normal edition poster is comparably yummier. And I don't mind ogling at more pictures of my yuhbo. Big nor small. Eheh ;P

I also received my Limited International Special Edition today! Thanks for taking good care of it, girls ^_^

As Mish had to return to Geek Mode, Farah and I then further continued our spazzing at S&M where I bought KimuTaku's "Hero" and MatsuKen's "Sexy Voice and Robo" (Lin's recommendation). *sigh* I really missed our theory exchanges and intense discussions, twinnie! Sankiu <3

Malaysianised VK?

Note: VK = Visual Kei. A branch in Japanese Rock (abb: JRock) that deals in heavily-adorned makeup and costumes. A most often than not misunderstood genre of music.
---------
"JRock Kingdom"? (http://www.jrock-kingdom.com/) Volume 4..?

Pardon the exaggerated eye-roll for the ridiculously 'original' titling. Eh, but no offense to them lah, since their events were already underway about 4 years ago. Ouu and it's sheer coincidence that a certain club was using the same ingenious branding name style.

Anywaaaay, there'll be lots of local VK bands schmucking performing at Ruums. I may be too old for this sort of thing. Me, in a room full of wannabes dressed up to the hilt and acting way too superior?

I'll think about it, Karat.

SStruck down

*thunder cracks down from the sky and zaps me on my buttocks*

Sso. Looks like I'm about to be warped into the fandom yet again. After almost a year (or longer?) of not paying any attention to these poor kidss, I really sshould be a loyal nuna. Haha =_=. I think I said the ssame thing back when they jusst released their album. After all, who can hate them?

This all thankss to my friendss who are surprisingly currently obssessed with them.

Ehhh?? You don't know who I'm talking about?

I'm not going to ssay it. Nope. I've been a VERY bad nuna (who requires a good sspanking, keke) that it would be a slur to call them by name. And I can't claim them as how I used to. Suffice to say, they will alwayss be my true dongsaengies.

Oh. If anyone found an LQ or MQ link for the latest Manwon Haengbok featuring twinnie's dongsaeng, I would be so grateful to you cos all the CBs I know only offer HD versions. :D

[On impulsive buyer mode]

Owh. I've been so tired these past few days that I hadn't had time to update or even surf the Net much -_-. Each time I plop down on my bed, I'll drift into a dreamless sleep and wake up still feeling tired. My stomach ache has abated so I don't know what's causing my exhaustion.

Yesterday was an exception because we had a surprise birthday party for Moon (Otanjyoubi omedetou!). Which then turned into a triple celebration for belated birthday girls Farah and Aunty Yong... Which then turned into a can't-run-anywhere-anymore discussion on work. As usual, we hogged Secret Recipe with our, um, rambunctious and slightly-hamsap group :P

K800i_080419moons_bday

Moonie got the new L photobook! And the rest of use were content by just meeting up with each other after such a long and strenuous month. ;D

Apparently Kak Bailah has also taken a fancy towards MatsuKen as L. She bought her own copy today. Now, while we were spazzing over the ridiculously expensive DoubleS jap photobook I saw something that made the DoubleS book literally fall from my hands... *points to below pic on farmost right*

K800i_080420kino_lunacy

Yep! *beams with pride* And so I bought the super duper gorgeous Luna Sea photobook since it was friggin 20% off. That's roughly 30 ringgit cheaper than getting it from YesAsia la wei. The thing was sitting there so prettily in plain sight that I just couldn't not have it, now could I? Besides, there didn't seem to be any other copies apart from this one. Heheh.

H-h-h-h-heh. *wipes grin off face* I keep reminding myself I haven't even paid for the Shinhwa albums.
