All About the Money

If only that lump of bucks I got in my sleep would materialise into my hand right now. RM3K. CASH. *has sweet brief flashes of the dream*

NOT a good way to wake up, no? My first thought as I woke was how this lucid dream is so going to be a bad omen. And hey, I just knew it!

Got lumped (not with moneyh!) with so many ad hoc jobs that I swore my brain was on auto must-finish-each-item-in-30-mins mode. Which is... good, I suppose, considering I managed to clear 'em up pretty fast so I wouldn't be at the end of the Scary Lady's jabs yet again.

I'm babbling! :S

Anyway, abingdon boys school's new single is out! LIKE, FINALLY. Sounds awesomely better than their previous idontevenrememberthetitle single. This is probably the only nicest thing to come out of Jrock-dom this week :D Well, minus Diru's latest concert vids.

*Totally ignores SUGIZO's 'announcement' of officially joining X JAPAN*

Jrock's been chugging slower these days. Why lar?

Thank you KinKi-san for being here when I need you~

Oh and thank you Farah for ranting/spazzing on MSN and Mish for loyally reading my pathetic blog.

Bidding Time

Japanese Yen is rising from The Slump. Damn. There goes my spending money. I just hope I can afford that 500¥ kasa which I promised Aishah. At this rate I don't think I can even eat Takoyaki. Boo!

Eh how much is pan at Disneyland anyway... Pray tell that they won't only be selling friggin expensive boulangerie bread? Boohoohoo.

*tightens belt* Am seriously on a sliiiiim budget now that my brothers decide to get hitched in this same year. That makes 3 weddings, no, 4 weddings (including Aish's). Crazy kah?!

So if one my good friends decide to hold theirs now, sorry lah ye. I've already apologised to Wate (Congrats btw) since hers will be on the same day as my stepbro's in Gemas. ^^;;

Anyhoo~ no purchases til after October I suppose. Even so... I'd still be saving up for Dubai by then. Aiiiyoooh.

I feel bad for not buying any KinKi albums. T___T I just look in envy at other people spending on YesAsia and CDJapan nowadays.

No time, no money, no Internet. Sigh. Oh heck, NO LIFE!

Am I Happy?

I seriously don't know. I'm never vocal about issues that concern too many factions. Keeping all this bottled emotions is really taking a toll on my body. *pokes aching body parts*

In fact, I can't even define those so called 'emotions'.

In Tiger & Dragon, the Rakugo shishou mentions that people should put up a smiling face even when they're sad or angry or just plain down-and-out because it affects other people's emotions too. Because we're supposed to be sensitive towards other people's feelings yadda yadda yadda.

An altruistic method although you suffer all by yourself =__=

But I'm not cut out for that BS.

These unhappy issues comes across as a pretty constant ritual until I don't even know when I'm happy and when I'm not. I can't even pinpoint anything.

And so I just keep trudging along to wherever the days take me.

What a bitter reminder to remind myself that I don't even understand my own life.

When Kochan Met Tsuyo

5th May 1993. Koichi and Tsuyoshi 'officially' met each other at their daisempai Hikaru Genji's concert. And the love is still burning between them *hugs the happily married couple*

Thank you, Johnny-san for handpicking these two boys and grooming them into fine men.

Happy 17th Anniversary, KinKi-san! I shall celebrate by re-re-watching Toma's hilarious SDK episode.

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*

Jrock Malaysianised

Jerry says Nurul's new single "Tika Cinta" sounds hauntingly like one of Malice Mizer's songs so I went and checked it out. Her new album apparently has a touch of Jpop (credit: Berita Harian Online) but I'm guessing they don't even know heads or tails of the origin of this song:

Scroll down to the lil green media preview player.

She's a good singer. The song's not bad. Now listen to "Au Revoir" (which is/was like one of the bestest songs by Malice): Au Revoir - Malice Mizer

*tsk tsk tsk* Don't they ever intricately research stuff they ripoff from? Jrock ain't the same as Jpop lah. Haiyo. Let's see how many Malaysian Jrock fans are quick to realise this. I feel like bombing these Malaysian songwriters/composers.

Burnt Beyond Recognition

I hate cyclic errors. I do. Especially when I lose something very very precious that I'm too lazy to go and download again. Sigh.

Clever of me, I should have immediately checked the dvd after burning. The two red dots are the albums I really must download again. Luckily the striked outs are still in my storage. But still...

Life's not so fun these days, no?

All Shades of Blue and White

Happy 30th Birthday, Tsuyoshi-san! Oh and congratulations on the release of your album, your single and your live tour start. And yeah thank you for being MFEO MFDK (Made For Domoto Koichi). ;D

Here's my present as promised: 1 angsty KinKi [download] + 1 happy 10-years-ago KinKi [download] :D



I doubt anybody use Winamp anymore. But it's the thought that counts, right?

I've submitted photos of the sky for Tsuyo's birthday fan project. Yay! I hope he gets to see the 'world' through our eyes eventhough my pics weren't exactly spectacular or anything. But hey didn't I say it's the thought that counts? ne? ne?

Been too preoccupied with the harsh realities of life that I haven't given thought to my surroundings anymore. when I was small, I used to love to sit at our house porch as a storm rolls in, watching the swollen dark grey clouds racing with the wind. Then I'd stare and stare at the rainwater pooling under my dad's car and drown ants send floating leafs down the drain.

Nightime gazing at the moon was one of my favourite pastimes too. I had even stupidly 'wished' on fullmoons, praying that Barbie dolls would magically appear in my toybox. Or that my stupid brother would fall down and break his leg or something to that effect. Hah! Such naivety in a Cancer kid!

Well, my perception of a perfect sky is plenty different from Tsuyo's preference for white tufty clouds. But it's wonderful how he's made us slowed down a bit from our hectic schedules (which has always been his ambition).

Pre-announcement

Due to unforseen circumstances, I am sorry to announce that I will no longer continue creating the Winamp Skins of Hyesung and Wheesung respectively requested by Farah and Nwar.

All my artwork (before my old PC died) is still trapped in its harddisk. Sedih tak?

However, since my hand so gatal and you know lah me... I've skipped on ahead to make other skins that are more closer to my current obsession interest  xDD *ehem ehem*

I shall unveil my new work on the 10th of April as a birthday tribute to ________.

Under the Sky

Something to cheer you up on this gloomy Friday ;D



Tsuyo makes you want to fly to Japan (most especially Nara), like, right now. Doesn't he?
