Uh... *waves shyly*

Oh haiii. Can't believe this blog still exists.

Maybe I should pop in once in awhile. It's quite cathartic and humbling to read your younger self's writings, right?

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!!!

KD = Kill. Die.

Dear Mr Koichi Domoto,

You... You... You IDIOT! I just bought your F1 book and I still owe my bestfriend money for your concert merchandise then now you decide to drop another bomb on me with your concert DVD? Dem yuu!!! 3 discs for Limited Edition version? Apa ko gile? Hah? Hah? Hah?

Don't you know I have enough debts keliling my pinggang? Seoul hotel, Bangkok flight tix and and and Yamapi concert tix... I'm like even persuading myself not to buy Luna Sea's Reboot to New Moon DVD LE lar wei. Cut me some slack, ok.

And then you and Tsuyo said that KinKi Kids will have a lot of surprises for us this year. Isn't that too much for me to handle?

Plus, my Astro bill just arrived today eventhough I felt like it was only yesterday when I last paid for it. Bills, bills, bills.

Just to remind you hor, end of 2011 will be bad for me hor. You better be responsible for me hor. HOR.

Love you but hate you,
Arfah

Welcoming 2011

Happy New Year. Wishing you a blessed year ahead :)

Me? I foresee a poor me trying to handle FOUR fandoms at once in 2011 T___T

As you may very well know now (especially via Twitter) the 2PM-verse has taken over me. Shinhwa-verse is back with a vengeance, thanks to Dongwan and Eric's future activities. Luna Sea-verse is SERIOUSLY back with an even bigger vengeance. Aaaand KinKi is enjoying their happy marriage as if they've just got back from their 2nd (3rd? 4th?) honeymoon [read this for fun: 1st Jan Birthday concert report]

♥

All that equals to Pokainess. Huhuh.

So in a bid (to attempt) to be mature, I will spend some time to start up resolutions for 2011 because honestly... Did I even have a list for 2010?? If I did then nothing came out from that. Hahahahahahaaaaiiih.

1. Save money - Refrain from splurging on meals. Less Zanmai, Tei and Ichiba.
2. Save money - Reduce caffeine intake. Less Starbucks. Huhuhu.
3. Save money - Stop shopping for unnecessary clothes.
4. Lose weight + save money - No more lunching out. Unless compulsory.
5. Be happier. I hope my luck gets better...
6. Handle stress better. Sigh.
7. Save hair - Goodness, hair loss!
8. Find a new job? Huwaaaah~
9. Kemas sty bilik

Yeaaaa. Money is a big issue. I hope I have enough for Seoul. And Yamapi. And ***.

Others will be added once I can think up of more. I know there's a backlog of this and that at the back of my mind somewhere. *digs digs* Soon. SOON.

Happiness doesn't seem like an issue now. I just need to reshift the balance of fandoms coz it looks like (ARF: What a hypocrite!) Kpop is back in my life. Also, I'm not sure how KinKi will be this year since their mood swings go from North to East to West to South (yes, a pun :D) but so far so good. One main focus is my job lor. Haih.

Sangkut Pulak Dah...

• Uh oh. That 2PM song keeps replaying in my head. Again. And again. < Ke-CHAN-an + Ke-TAEC-an + Ke-SU-an > KAHKAHKAHKAHKAH
• Wonder Girls concert was fun!
• The Luna Sea concert leg in Hong Kong that me and Karat had wanted to go to was the same day of WG's concert. :(
• KinKi Kids 2010-2011 tour started a few days before the Wonder Girls concert. "Domoto Family" sounds very well produced with medleys of so many of all the old songs they seldom sing nowadays. It's almost like they shortened their MCs to make way for that. <3
• Someone posted an old Johnny's Junior pic and that kid beside Yonehana looks like Takizawa. Is he? And the boy behind (scrunched up face) couldn't be Tsubasa right? Takkan Yara pulak?? xD

Harry Potter Meme

01. If you went to Hogwarts, which house would you be sorted in?
Gryffindor

02. Have you ever been to a Harry Potter midnight release?
No. I prefer to wait for sun up.

03. What did you think of Deathly Hallows?
The book was boring but the film (Part 1) exceeded my expectations by a mile.

04. How many times have you reread the books?
8 to 10, I think. Wasn't counting.

05. Whose death was the saddest?
Fred Weasley, with Sirius at a close second and Lupin at third.

06. If you went to Hogwarts, would you rather have a pet owl, cat, or rat?
Owl. Way cooler.

07. What did you think of the movie Half-Blood Prince?
Eh, what? Couldn't remember a thing.

08. What do you think of Deathly Hallows being split in half?
A wise decision. The thickness and barrage of last-minute plots crammed  into the book would have demanded that kind of commitment. As mentioned before, I like Part 1.

09. Have you read The Tales of Beedle the Bard?
Uh, no.

10. When did you first become a Harry Potter fan?
Right before the 5th book, perhaps.

I've Missed KKL!

J Album and J concert didn't have any KinKi Kids Love moment (or as much as I hoped for)...

BUT NOW THEY'RE BACK with their amazing touchy-feeling fanservice for their upcoming single [FAMILY ~Hitotsu ni Naru Koto] ♥ Scans of new mags are out, btw.

I have a strong feeling that they don't want to lose to TakiTsuba. Kekeke.

Hmm but the covers are slightly deceiving. Their inside pages aren't as lovable. ^^;;

Road to Poverty

Ah goodness, I'm still dizzy from clicking on that Buy button for Luna Sea's Mafuyu & Manatsu DVD combo. Don't you just hate unplanned shopping? There goes the small hope I harbored for a Fossil wristwatch. *chucks dream out the window*

I do so really hope that my money's not going to fly out the door in November. Oh crap! Won't November be the time when Luna Sea concert goods are announced? Ngghh! *clutches keyboard and chews on it*

Well this might be a good start for a... hmm, a priority list to fit my budget? My head's a mess with the upcoming Wonder Girls concert, KinKi concert, Seoul trip, Dongwan's album plus God knows what else I have to pay for by February.

Furthermore, there is still no news from Public Bank on my card application. Was my letter lost somewhere? Guh. *spits out crushed numeric keys*

So registering for Sugizo's fanclub [Soul's Mate] is definitely out of the question. Eventhough it is only about RM200, it's kinda useless since I won't be able to enjoy the benefits other than getting access to his Fans-Only site. Sucky uptight rule of no shipping to non-JP addresses.

Sigh. My year is really going down the drain after the awesome weeks of August and September. The stress I'm going through with all the money problems and work. Honestly... How do people adapt to change so well? It's really impossible for me to accept this kind of pressure, of suddenly being thrust in front of the shooting squad.

I hate management. I hate being the Alpha. I'm an Omega and people like me can't make it and break it like some others do. But why am I still heeere? *kicks self outta orbit*

=____= Fark. Instead of listing out my job scope like my boss asked me to, I'm going to rewatch Goong because I don't fucking care about my career right now.

New Johnny's Talent

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.
