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?

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 ;_;

My Mid-2009 Wish List

1. Kim Dongwan concert DVD. Photobook + Poster + Gold plate ftw.


2. KinKi Kids you concert DVD. If they do release it lah. Tho it might be an autumn release.


3. Domoto Koichi acting in a new drama. Because he hasn't been in one since 2007.


4. Domoto Koichi to gain weight. *pokes at his stick figure* If he wants to survive his summer tour, I suggest him to do so.


5. Domoto Tsuyoshi to force-feed Domoto Koichi. Just because he's the only one who is able to nag Kochan.


6. 244 Endli-x (this is Tsuyo btw) WATERIZE concert. I should really download it steadily by now. Not enough time!


7. New shoes. Because I fail at taking good care of shoes.


8. Keep saving money and continue losing weight.


9. Work stress to be gone.


10. Someone to feed me through this weekend as my parents won't be back til Sunday.

I have such lame goals. =____=

Moving Continents

I need to research budget for a trip to Dubai. Aishah's really intent on visiting Jerry there. We're waiting for updates from Jerry still, but I doubt she'd have spare time during this first week of working as a 'mole'.

*stares at bank account* And my job now is to continue this no-spending-diet even after my Japan trip. I'm guessing 0.5K per month is sufficient? So... January 2010? :S

If only I had the money to traipse around the globe as easily as Dongwan (currently vacationing at a Japanese onsen) and KinKi Kids (currently in Seoul recording Domoto Kyodai).

*Arfah is bemused of the coincidence that her two three beloved guys flew to Japan/Korea around the same time*

Short-lived Joy

My twinnie gave life to my uber-spankingly new CPU! Sankiu! Now I'm gradually trying to install all the progs I need. But apparently my handwritten list of important apps (eg: Storm Codec, SE skinmaker, etc) got misplaced during last year's cleanup =___= Guh.

I can't even extract the 80Gig stuff from my old HDD including my PS brushes, documents, videos, bookmarks because the IDE cable is different. Bodohnye, pesal lah aku tak sedar motherboard sekarang dah tak guna cable yang tebal tu lagi?

Sooooo the downloading spree/frenzy I planned shall wait another week. Or more. Entah lah, labu. Ain't got enough time to think about anything anymore. Hectic, hectic week... what with the two short days for work (updating gsc site) and damage control after Tuesday morning's office break-in and then planning for this coming weekend's MATTA Fair.

Although this may sound evil but I'm thankful I didn't leave any valuables at the office. The HanaDan2 DVD I forgot to bring home doesn't catch their fancy, it seems. No trauma, but it was very scary to imagine 10 criminals (the correct total as witnesses mentioned) touching my stuff, ransacking the drawers and walking about at a place I work in.

Yes, I am definitely in need of that Tokyo trip very very badly now, don't you think? *crunches stress by watching Endlicheri's DVD rip*

Hopefully this dream of ours comes true! Been fantasizing what to do and the myriad of autumn colours to see and what to get at Jyaniz Shop. *glomps*

Howeverrrrrrr... MUCC's Kyuutai album sounds really good. Y_Y No money to buy that. abingdon's going to release an album too. Nope, no money for that unless HMV Singapore will be selling a cheapo version. AND OMG COULD YOU POSSIBLY TORTURE ME IN A LESS DECEPTIVE WAY?? DONGWAN WANTS TO RELEASE A CONCERT DVD?!

=___= "Oppa, please be kind to this wifey of yours who's dying for a holiday."

Shuffling Guys

Omg have you read Dongwan's latest photo-post? Hensem gile! Drooling over one pic eh. So sad leh. I'm happy he's happy, ya know. But can we pleeeease have moar Shinhwa pics oppa please please please kamsahaeyo T_T

Lol. My reaction towards my first reaction ("OMGSHOHUBBAHUBBAHUBBAHAWTE!") to that photo of him was: "Not even Kochan can make me squeal like this."

Dongwan is safe, people. Yes, thank you. Oh hey, but even so right.. I do squeal when Tsuyo and Kochan goes lovey-dovey -- HEYYY!! enough KinKi talk for today lar.

New dorama 'Love Shuffle' looks promising. Matsuda Shota and Hiroki Tamaki and... DAIGO? Serious drool bath. Won't Can't say the same for 'Boys Over Flowers' tho. I'm avoiding that K-version the same way I'm avoiding Twilight: Utter ignorance.

But Dongwannie is actually watching it??

Hyoshin's Project Album

Ok, I am so in a rush right now before I leave for Melaka (Grace's wedding).

Tak sempat nak download Hyoshin's tv appearance-slash-comeback but I did succeed to save audio rips of the samples from naver.

Kore wa Download rinku desu. Click-u kudasai.

Have fun over the weekend, I'll be back on Sunday to add my feedback on the album.

Oh and btw, Happeh Belated Birthday to Dongwan!! Tak menyempat jugak nk wish him yesterday. Guh.

Longing

Itsuka dokoka no sora no shita de mata aou.
(Let’s meet again under the sky, some time, somewhere)

Ryuichi's words tear my heart into pieces. I know it's needless to say 'Goodbye' and weep all day long for someone you're about to half-lose. But for my hubby, who would instead be pained if fans crumble, I fortify my promise of undying loyalty and to live my life to the fullest. Eventhough I may stray you know that after 2 years (or 4 years, if you insist) I'll still be here for you, 동완이오빠. 기다릴게!

Please don't worry yourself too much over nicks and scratches. And I hope you get wonderful bunkmates so you wouldn't unnecessarily fuss over things. :D

Well hey, I'm devoid of tears right now. Can't squeeze out any tearduct juice. I am apparently still... in denial.

Not even this below picture of Shinhwa together could induce any sob.

[caption id="attachment_844" align="aligncenter" width="472" caption="^ Shinhwa"][/caption]

I'm like more of nosebleeding over the fact that Minwoo (?) is wearing a Rokkasho tee *points to green 'More Trees Less Nuke' t-shirt* by the tree-huggers-movement in which Sugizo is actively participating in. Ah!

*slaps self for being jaded* Anyhoo~ Maybe the acceptance will gradually wash over me. In due time. Oh well, I think I shall go watch that Can't Forget MV for a coupla days to get the fact into my thick skull.

Dangerously Lame

Just got back from Bangkok Dangerous preview screening. Damn bodoh lorh. All the sweat and tears brought out for the banners are pretty much valueless lah. Seriously wtf.

Kak Bailah, Moon and Lyndy had more fun vandalising the invitation passes than the whole movie.

Fortunately, there is good news! Farah tells me that there's a photo contest for Dongwan's single. Winners get to be on his jacket book! EEK 0_o!

You DA Man!

set to induce tears

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

Wifely duties

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

Kanpai~!

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.

Happy Birthday, Dongwan!

Selamat Ulang Tahun buat suamiku tercinta <3

Tatkala dia sedang sibuk membikin recording 'tuk album baru, disamping persiapan (secara mental) utk menjalankan tugas besar tahun hadapan... isk isk, ku melewati Photoshop yg sudah kian lama tidak disentuh dan menyediakan grafik untuk hari jadinya.

Apsal aku tulis dalam BM ni? hish.

For a few days I'll be using this graphic as my profile background. Just until I manage to bake another Luna Sea layout for December (the concert is 33 days away!!)

I hope my love reaches him ;D

shitload on a plate as huge as Europe

That's how I feel my workload is equivalent to these days. The phrase came about yesterday when Zee asked me "How much shit (aka work) I had on my plate." <_< HAH. Hasn't he realised that 3/4 of the shit comes from him and the writers?? Some more wanna ask.

All ranting about work thrown aside, it was quite a fun week:

• I deepened my love for Gazette; thanks Moon! *sends Kai shaped kuih raya*


• everyone came back to work on Wednesday --I'm not lonely anymore!


• In is well and recuperating from her appendics-removal; and has returned to bully me.


• finally met up with Mel during Thursday's family dinner --got to satisfy my craving for Chili's.


• received my DW Diary and (cam)whored with it all through last night --teehee!


• listened to X Japan's new song for "Saw IV" movie; I told you they'd comeback sooner or later! It sounds HOT, btw.


• watched WanMinSyung's special stage --i hate that pabo asswipe's smugness.


• aaaaand last but not least.... I jemput-ed my ex-husband Sugizo from the Customs Centre in Sepang; my C:LEAR album! THANK YOU!!

I feel so warm and fuzzy inside for those 2 valuable items that I bought with my own hard earned money. Aaah~ I can't stop grinning. xDD *hugs both my hubby and ex-second-husband*

kaching kaching

is it only a coincidence that when i extracted quite a large sum of money today to purchase several albums (after an abstinence from shopping at YesAsia), my hubby decides to make me even poorer by releasing his Repackaged solo album.

urgh. i didn't expect the thing to be daymn expensive like a DVD. *dies*

i had to cancel Big Bang due to my limited spending budget for the month but there's NO WAY i could not buy Syuju:

1. Super Junior Vol 2 - Don't Don = RM 48
2. Big Bang (Mini album) - Always = RM 39
3. Sugizo - C:LEAR = RM 98
4. Kim Dongwan (Repackaged album) w/ planner and calendar = RM120

urgh. see? there's no way i can go to the Luna Sea concert. AND i'm supposed to save up for next year's Seoul trip. AAAND Shinhwa's going to release their DVDs soon.

so Fazil, if you're reading this, is that rich duda friend of yours still single?.....

sh*tload

that's more than 30 vids and stuff to download. and notice that they're only Dongwan related? gah. tracking back is hard work.
i'm hoping at least HALF of that list will finish by morning.

GUH. need to wait til tomorrow to queue other Shinhwa clips. after i get back from work. aaafter i clear all my new workload.

damn! i hope i can cope this month. well, if everybody else has been through it and survived, why can't i?
thankfully, i've got Gazette's new album to bang head-bang to before sleep.

high on love

GASP! i retrieved my Dongwan album from hyungie yesterday. thank you for the Sesi Menyelak Bersama-sama, Kak Naza :)

and now, witness the (second) unveiling of my hubby's solo album:



shocking!it's really thick! i didn't expect the packaging to look this exquisite.



red. silver. grey. black.



drool-worthy postcards and picture essay (not in the picture).

i love the retro-ness. i love the packaging. i love the album.
in short, i love Kim Dongwan. i'm still on cloud 9 *loves*

sweeter than death

speechless. that's how i am. for once in my life, i am utterly devoid of words to describe how deliciously happy i am right now. that's right. i can't spazz. honestly.

*wipes tears*

kim dong wan, know that you are responsible in killing me. again.
just 6 months ago when i got so tired with kpop and kingdom, i vowed with my friends that i was going to die and would only wake up from my deathbed when you release your solo album. the pact was that i would be revived with the help of Michele using sacrificial blood. it's a long story, that one. nyaa. skipping!

so now. you're back. with that solo album you promised. how do you know that i'm not dead still? how about these tears cascading down my cheeks? alive enough?

then why did you have to kill me again? i'm supposed to be alive to luxuriate in your divine love. but look! you killed me with your new album. heck, is dying from listening to someone even possible?

*DEAD* xDD

Shinhwa OWNS Summer '07

ajksjldjashdkjhgobblegobblegobble.. *spouts incomprehensible words*

i'm so darned speechless after reading latest news about Dongwan's solo album! AAAAAH! xDD (and yes, Nov, his album should really be anticipated bcoz it should be the first time he showcases his singer-side)

his soon-to-be tracklist is... whoa. WHOA, man. everyone's participating in his album (and his solo debut) that i can predict it's gonna be so much love. ah <3

go to shinhwa_daily comm to see his tracklist and sneak pics from his MV and jacket cover.

just.. let me.. catch my breath for a while here.

and oooomaieffingGOD xDD
HOW COME I JUST REALISED THAT DONGWAN'S SOLO RELEASE IS JUST 1 DAY BEFORE (ok so technically 2 days for us in the East) S.K.I.N.'s CONCERT AT THE ANIME EXPO (29/06)!!!

i. need. empty CDRs. sigh.
