2 days of private lessons with kitai sensei.

I'm freaking taking a break tomorrow. my fingers might die from something. but I did promise myself that if I wanted to continue with koto, I'd try my best to rid myself of bad habits. as in to learn the technique correctly and start it off correct from the start, no matter how difficult it may be. my piano more or less sucks because I have so many stinking bad habits, plus I'm a lazy idiot who is blessed with the gift of sight reading, so I kinda smoke through a lot of stuff. I figured the benefits of doing stuff correct from the start with the trombone, but alas I don't play it anymore. but that taught me a lot of 苦肉計man. the dent in the finger, the back/neck/arm aches, the occasional flesh stuck when you slam the slide too hard by some lousy accident, the (sometimes mouldy) mouth pimples, all totally sucked.

and now? peeling skin, no more cuticles, blisters, red fingertips, scab lines from broken strings, weirded cut from flying koto parts etc. after I left, I was thinking if the day of no plasters will ever come. I think it will be a scary day. but perhaps, 40 years down the road, if I'm still playing regularly, it might happen. creepy.

meanwhile, even though I know nuts about the industry, AFA was cool. we really didn't do much, but it was fun having a pass. a stage pass absolutely rocks. you get to see everyone that everyone outside wants to see, and you chase people away. teehee. but as nore and I were discussing, celebrities are a social construct. if you don't see the guy as a celeb, there's no starstruck effect at all. zero. we knew some of these people were stinking rich and famous, but it was like wut? and the worst part?

"okay so we've got this programme coming up, and these people are supposed to be ready. BUT WHAT ON EARTH DO THEY EVEN LOOK LIKE?!"

maa~ to bed.

another long weekend of activity! must survive. seems like these 2 months is totally long drawn. totally.

partly my fault lah.

in any case, anime festival asia for next 2 days, then there's moar meta handbook things to do, there's koto lessons to go for, then it's work time. then it's koto performance, then it's church camp, then it's christmas rehearsals and performances, and suddenly the year ends.

hopefully with a good bang.

meanwhile I will attempt to keep my head above waters and avoid procrastination because I'm too good at it.

for some lousy reason my mouth feels itchy. my throat is dry. gosh.

I have 5.5 hours to sleep so that I will last a 12 hour day. I suck.

bed.

oh and because I managed to do it in record time, I changed my layout. so now the header is a beautiful purplish picture of shin (yes jrock has finally come back to conquer my lj layout) from kagrra, and it's such a basic graphic I feel that it looks like an advertisement of sorts. don't ask me why. plus it features one of my nice new brushes! yay!

and sms convo of the day:

poo: haha okay I got sept neo (genesis). the paper super thick la! ancafe/plastic tree on the cover XD...shoxx looks a bit lousy. is arena ex? =/
me: that's standard jrock magazine paper. that's why I can't bring myself to buy the johnny mags. arena...the last one I bought was 25 plus I think
poo: ooh...haha no wonder la. must feel like toilet paper after being spoilt by jrock mags. thanks - =)
me: and I'm so used to 8 to even 40 page features! myojo can have 3 pages for COVER ARTISTE! how atrocious!

maa~ it's true. and nobody scanned rock & read vol.27! *outraged* I'm starting this thing for ryutaro (even though I really don't have anything for plastic tree music) so I thought of getting the scans. argh. shall request it. =)

omg BED.

or at least that's what it looks like on my lj calendar. it's as if I post once, then I die for like 4-6 days and post another entry.

the mad weekend left me with almost no energy to post, even though it was so, uh, happening. interview went well! is going down to sign papers today. YES THAT MEANS I AM FREAKING EMPLOYED OMG FINALLY. okay I'll be placed on a 3 month probation period so they can still kick me out without compensation. =( I'm starting on 1 december, which actually poses a new set of problems.

what else? koto. we're having yet another little performance on the 7th of december, but because it's some japanese embassy function don't know what thing, it sounds horribly important and so we can't screw up. basically. but this period is very tricky because all of them are having exams and so sensei can't have practices. so practice will resume only on 1st december, after all of them (except michelle) finishes their papers. hang isn't playing for this performance, so that's 1 person less already. jacky hates performances so he's pulled out too. after the exams michelle is actually more concerned with mugging for jlpt so I don't know what's going to happen. sensei wants everyone to come everyday to practice as much as possible, since it's technically holidays, but thing is, sensei needs to MARK SCRIPTS. so it's going to be real crazy. and since I'm starting work on the 1st itself, I will only appear at night. which I feel bad about because I sincerely believe sensei takes the nights to mark papers! yikes!

my working hours are 0830-1730, so technically I can get to school by 1830 to practice. but I refuse to go home late because well, EIGHT THIRTY. and then I'm not going to help with transportation of the kotos earlier on monday, because it's just ridiculous. my workplace is like 10 minutes by bus from the performance venue man. and anyway I expect that they'll be there by 6pm to setup and tune and change blah blah blah.

oh well. I shall reply sensei and see what she says.

fandom-y wise, while poo has been digging an cafe (whom I personally feel like I am unable to support because I have a mental block when it comes to oshare kei), I'm getting into 12012. AGAIN, after so so so many years. decided to give them a try the other day, and realised that they're really not too bad at all. it's been 3 years I suppose, since I tried 12012. he pronounces words like ruki though. a little odd. but it's a matter of getting used to it. but no no I really don't know what they look like. I've lost track of what the bands I get into nowadays look like. I took some effort with D, but it's too tiring.

plus I think I shall delete all my sug (other than love scream party because that song rocks), and I haven't listened to screw properly. but my impressions is that 12012 is better than screw. but it isn't fair because 12012 has gone major (and has more money) and screw is still a banging indie band. but then again after D, I have decided that it isn't true that all indie bands look a mess, sound worse and blame it on no money. but perhaps it's because asagi has money -- with a vocalist who wears nothing but galiano, you've got some cash coming your way.

arayan's getting a new drama next season, and I hope it's better than the terrible image he had in godhand teru. that hair was gross. absolutely gross. it's one of those midnight dramas though, so I don't really know what to expect. maa~ sho is having a drama with horikita. I didn't hear anything about that. then again, I'm not on the arashi comms.

plus I finally went to read about the room 0 drama. it's actually exactly like gekidan engimono -- a late night slot on fuji tv dedicated to showcasing scripts by up and coming scriptwriters, featuring short drama episodes of 15-20minutes each. and as they generally go, the stories are pretty dark. well okay besides mitsuo X mitsuo. that was seriously the funniest of the lot.

this has been a freaking long entry. so freaking long.

*puke blood*

daddy just came in to tell me that china's loaning 2 panda bears to singapore for 10 years. they'll come tumbling by in 2011 or so. poor things. it's too hot here lah. stop bringing all these poor animals here. we've got dirty polar bears, overcrowded penguin enclosures and now they've got to build the panda enclosure. tsk.

plooooey. back to photoshop. I love my new brushes! so glad I decided to unzip them. they seem to fit in pretty well with the entire booklet layout. woots! just the cover. the COVER. did I ever tell you that I HATE ILLUSTRATOR for many reasons including the fact that it takes so much out of it to copy over to photoshop and the interface is terrible. 

okay I just support photoshop. hurrrmph.

01. tsubasa
jingying said I didn't look like a tsubie fan. but pray tell, what DOES a tsubasa fan look like?! unlike some of the larger fandoms that actually have a pattern amongst themselves (I'm totally drawing like ohno fan patterns), I think tsubie fandom is so horrendously small and crosses with so many other fandoms that I don't know what we look like.

02. eito
the new single's good. =) although I don't know what broadway musical kyuujouSHOW was trying to pull off. I was thinking, eh subaru not enough musicals is it? *snorts* still translating the db articles. last 2.5 articles to go!!! and then I wash my hands off db. but I swear if they really have no dvd this year then the jimusho is in grave danger.

03. kinki kidzzz
they didn't dance for their 2nd performance at music station! why! although it helped koichi to sing better, but no dance! no funny funky arm movements (that I laughed very hard at) and no birdie moves (that michelle and I were in fits over). but still a good performance, and the talk part was ultra cute. neglected!koichi is hilarious.

04. momusu
kimagure princess!! I spotted a pile of girls behind kk when the talk began, only to realise they were akb48 and not morning musume. because if mm appeared on ms then I'll go look for the clip man. the kimagure princess costumes are pretty nice too. the song starts a little abruptly though. plus my lappie is bursting with mm songs now. yay for dance dance techno! I've gone positively insane.

05. higashiyama
I introduced the wonders of higashi-sama to jingying and michelle the other day. how nice. senpai rabu. finally found a copy of the higashi SCP, but then it's on heehaw and that has to wait quite a while. I'm amazed that running heehaw, utorrent and direct d/l didn't kill the speed. but higashiiiiii. if it's the same one that's on tudou, that'll be fantastic. *beams* and it's EPISODE ONE. *smacks aiba*

06. 意難忘
I finally found that song that I was looking for! now my next step is either learn bo po mo fo or die miserably at 閩南. either way I'm dead. someone should romanise 閩南stuff. it'll be fantastipo man. OH and I can't believe the drama actually managed to END. I suppose it had to though, since everyone who should die had died and everyone who had gone down the wrong paths all repented. plooey.

squeee. should sleep soon.

01.  laptop
it's supposed to be coming home today? I assume. I hope that's not a bad assumption, because I really want it back home. when i sent it in, the technician said he'll run diagnostics and see what's wrong with it first, then call me and explore my options. he said he'll call on tuesday, but he didn't. I decided to wait another day, and in the end an sms came in on thursday saying that my lappie is ready for collection. I tell you, if I make my trip all the way just for him to tell me what's wrong and it's not fixed fixed yet, I'm going to scold somebody. *continues to hope*

02. koichi
looks like the orista is sold out. as expected. which is sad, but hopefully on my laptop the mf link will work. my desktop refuses to register the scans link. and it's such a cute issueeee. press conference for koichi hosting japan's f1 grand prix cannot go wrong. cannot. super cuteeee.

03. muzik
onitsuka chihiro is on a roll. after a slew of singles these couple of years (considering that she takes her time to release stuff), she's popped out with an album before I knew it. again. the singles popped out from nowhere too, and I don't think I've heard them all yet. gosh. trying scandal now too. I'm trying to balance my very terrible male singer:female singer ratio, and it seems to be tipping just that little bit. scandal's not bad. not something I'll listen to everyday, but nothing bad. some are pretty fun, although a few boring tracks.

and I'm wondering what's with the influx of electronica music these days. although it's true that my ideas about electric pop is a little hazy, but however fuzzy my ideas are, I remember it was fairy floaty and absolutely HARH. and electric pop always reminds me of danny. and jon trying to recommend him greeeen, when they're so so so different.

04. conclusion
time for lunch then it's scoot off.

my laptop refused to connect to the internet as of sunday night, 25th october. after about 5 attempts to retry connection, multiple attempts to connect to other peoples' unsecured connections and 2 restarts, I gave up. I thought maybe after one night of sleeping it might work again. next morning still refusal to connect.

so I brought it right back to school. jiaxiang tried to help, but uh, to no avail SIMPLY because I. have. no. internet. WAH LAO. he basically wanted me to try using an external wireless device, but because my laptop had no driver, and I have no internet to find and install the driver, it didn't work anyway.

so down to the it co-op I went. still under warranty anyway. the fujitsu guy tried several things and nothing worked, so he said he's taking it back to do a full check. supposed to call me today to tell me what's wrong with it and then we'll see what needs to be done, but he hasn't called yet. =((((( upset.

therefore, I shall be laptop-less for the moment. now I'm using my desktop, which thankfully, is still working. and it has the programs I need to function. I would prefer my own lappie (since everything inside is more updated), but better than nothing. just that I suppose somebody at jpopsuki might make some noise soon because I'm not around at all. but not my fault. I have like 7 more to complete too. pooo.

to make this post end happily, SWAN SONG IS OUT! ROCKS loh the song. woohoo! and nore said that KOICHI hosted this year's japan F1! MY GOODNESS. I was watching inoue mao's first appearance on domoto kyodai the other day and died laughing. she said that she thought the side profile of a guy driver waiting in the car for the traffic light to turn green very cool, so koichi asked, what about a guy who, on top of looking cool while waiting for the traffic light, can ALSO tell you how the car engine works, what makes the car move BLAH BLAH BLAH ala koichi style.

I swear koichi is an IDIOT. and I love that boy.

and this is one AMAZING single. =)

I thought I'd end up updating my lj everyday since I'm at home all the time now, but it doesn't seem to be the case at all.

I think I shall shun translating concert report articles in magazines. the language is too incredible. plus all the kanji that I cannot read. >_< some can't even read in chinese. gah. and I've decided that after this slew of db magazines I shall do uruha. insist insist insist. something somewhere tells me that uru is easier than aoi (because aoi-chan is just too random) anyway. squee.

feeling tired, somehow. maybe it's the weather. maybe it because I'm going down later. maybe because there isn't much to do at home. bah. I'm like half falling into this weird dreamland.

maybe the takoyaki shop idea isn't the worst after all.

(and since denise commented the other day. I'd nearly forgotten all about my assassins. my goodness me it's been 3 years. sometimes I wonder about all these strange people I meet and never seem to see again. sometimes. they pop into my brain randomly and I wonder what happened to them all. but of course, it's none of my business. just my brain likes to think of them now and then.)

and that seems to be all the text that I could squeeze out of myself for the past 4.5 hours. plus bejeweled gave me the funniest notification on earth. it said something like 'you have been playing 20 games in just 30 minutes! while we applaud your dedication to bejeweled, we would like to remind you that you should look at something faraway once in a while too.' I died laughing.

two. finishing best stage soon! then I'll just dump that first.

three. I really like rainbows. congratulate yourselves, alice nine.

four. shouganai yume oibito is higher than I remembered, naichau kamo's verse is kinda weird low, and shabondama decides to hit my weird range. NAZE. didn't try onna ni sachi are. too much techno. doomchdoomchdoomchdoomch.

five. OTSUKARESAMA TO MY KOTO MATES. and thankees to people who came. (and I hope jacky is going to be okay, because while I know that michelle has gone waaaaaaaaaayyyy overboard with the whole thing, he doesn't have to take it to heart if he doesn't want to. although when michelle slapped herself it was really funny because I thought of that ajioka vegas and how he's so super pro at slapping himself.)

EDIT: HOW COULD I FORGET. HAPPY 15TH OCTOBER! ILU VISUAL KEI AND JE AND ALL THE FUNNY FANDOMS AND ALL THE LOVELY PEOPLE IN MY LIFE (whom I've gone absolutely GAGA about and at one point in time thought I'd die/suffer miserably/develop withdrawal symptoms without them. but I live.)


squee watched psc tour 2009 in uh, 2 shots. awesome stuff. they didn't turn the budoukan stage fully into the 360 degree stage they were trying to boast about (unlike acid black cherry who really did that), but still not bad.

sug and screw opened, and they are better than I thought. in particular sug. I still dislike their look and I still dislike takeru, but the song was not bad. but takeru has a more nasal voice than I expected. but not bad in all, so I might try something if I remember.

then kagrra took the stage, singing kotodama! isshi sounds better now, but still squeaky. I don't know why izumi keeps half-smiling as if he's embarrassed to play the drums, but it's super cute. and then at utakata shin played the koto! but during akiya's solo the camera got stuck on akiya and didn't want to show me the koto at all and it made me sad. but since it's akiya's solo, I couldn't expect any more than that.

after kagrra was kra, and I love keiyuu to BITS. he's ultra cute. plus I swear he has a secret ambition to be a conductor someday. super cute. and he managed a fan choir! how nice. I love fan choirs. the cameras didn't spend too much time on yasuno so that made me happy too. more mai mai maiccho would be good though. and keiyuu in the hakama = AWESOMELY CUTE. kyaa~~

then arisu came out. I was about to fastforward when shou broke into velvet, so I decided to let it go. and then after that they played rainbows, which actually really really rocks. slightly 80s style, but that's exactly what rocks. and so I was thinking, hmm maybe arisu deserves another chance? I was afraid that rainbows would break out into the arisu chorus and spoil everything, but it didn't. but then they had to perform blue planet next and I remembered everything that I didn't like about alice nine. bah.

then it's...gazette! woohoo! I recognised filth in the beauty by those 2 water droplet sounds, and somehow when the guitars jenged with kai's cymbals, I entered with ruki with a 'nobody believes it's you'. squee. I bet the traditional dress idea was aoi's great idea. that must be one of the swish-iest costumes he's had man. since aoi loves guitar pirouettes. although ruki shouldn't wear such emaculate contact lenses, and uruha actually did look quite restrained by the sudden amount of cloth on himself. time to get back to shorts, uru.

ending the whole thing is obviously miyavi, since that was his last live under psc, and he's the dai senpai of psc. but while I really respect miyavi for his amazing and unconventional guitar playing, and his attempts in merging genres and trying new things, I really dislike this hip hop direction he's headed. after head banging for 4 bands, I didn't really fancy the way the whole thing ended. but I still love meevs for being that ridiculous monkey he is. I hope his little girl is going to grow up fine. 

- end of rambly dvd review talk - is in way too many fandoms.

performance tomorrow! very excited. squeeeee. shifu asked if it'll be boomz. maa~ as long as it doesn't bomb, I'm fine with that. I was about to say, まあ~いいや ala kitai sensei. she thinks that she's been a bad influence on us, considering that our japanese has seemingly become more and more rude towards each other. we don't know how to tell her that it's always been in us, just that she allows it more than any other sensei I know, so it comes out.

that said, randomly, SUSHI OUJI WAS VERY DUMB. my gosh. so DUMB. but some parts were really funny though. and ishihara satomi rocked as his shifu. totally. and when I first saw the military girl who smashed koichi to bits, I was like mochitsuki sensei?! uwaaa. but still very dumb, the story. then again, 2 hours of a movie is nothing (koichi speaking english is priceless, by the way) compared to 11 episodes of it.

no more, no matter what you say

plooey it's been days.

met with poo and weng (whom I haven't seen since post sep) and ah john (whom I promptly said that I've heard all about his paedophilia). then had dinner with hang and somewhat michelle. plus I went to apologise profusely to kitai sensei for sending my tsume into the washing machine as well.

ミッシェルさんと同じパターンだね・・・

=(((((((( when my sister told me mummy found something in my shorts pocket after washing, I nearly screamed and bounced right out of bed. although thankfully they're all together. still mendable. but anyhow now I've got new tsume rings and either one of the previous rings was too small, or my finger has grown smaller. the size is slightly different. but sensei says they're all handmade so goodness knows man.

trying to finish up best stage, but I'm going to scream at somebody soon, because I realised that the scanner loved kame so much she scanned all the kame pictures properly, but for some amazing reason, everyone else is left out. the subaru and tegoshi interviews are there, but their faces aren't. my goodness me. she even scanned the kame pictures at different sizes. well yes kame>subaru>>>>>>>tegoshi, but excuse me, you could at least do them a little justice by leaving their faces there.

fangirls.

hang was telling me about how huiling has gone nuts and sold her soul to seoul, and how she's even taken pictures with one of the dbsk's member's DAD. like wut on earth. and so I sighed and told hang that sometimes I'm glad that michelle's only a toma fan, or else when she hits tokyo she's more or less gone case. not that she isn't going to be at her present stage.

and I will miss her terribly when she goes over next sem. =((((((((

in not much better news, it turns out that jacky has been unhappy because he's not on the right wavelength. I'm still wondering what dongxin thinks of all this though. the clueless year one who has no say (and nothing to say also) in everything we've decided, and I hope she's going to be okay. and jacky who doesn't want to step onstage...oh wells. it does happen. just that I don't see the point in anything if all he wants to do is to sit there for 5 hours a week to play for fun. I would have lost direction by then.

I've got a spinny head now, for some reason.

did we come out useless? untrained? unskilled? I don't think so. but what has this done to us. and you know I realise I don't say anything because I really don't know anything. I really don't. and I don't know to the point where I don't even know what to ask. I don't know what I don't know.

besides the tremors last evening (and this morning) my head isn't too good. again. maybe the air here oppresses my brain.

they just talked about things I don't know -- english tv serials. maa~crystal will throw me out of the window for this, but I really have nothing for these serials.

dlb, where are you? I need people to alleviate this oppressive air. although I've managed to slowly do stuff and half stone (i.e. check mail, check lj, check lovelyinn, check cna about earthquake), and 3 hours plus have passed. not bad, eh. while it sucks to apologise to every dude who walks in, at least that was something to do. now nobody's going to walk in. =(( I am being difficult to please.

I think I should call the folks I'm supposed to call.

called. now i realise I forgot to tell 娜嗒莎 (or my language bar's first option is actually那他杀) that I need a drink. no water. expired green tea. I'm going to die. next time I should grab a couple of bottles from cheers. they usually have some power price for 1.5l bottles. I should get those. ploooey. die of thirst. and no going out for lunch today. but it's not 4pm lunch! yay! yay for people buying lunch for us! 幹

(you know, these days I'm half paranoid about clicking on stuff, even if it's by accident, after learning about how power CPC is. like omg who did I just donate to sia. not my 太一but still. and randomly speaking, I realised that I hit the 'e' button too hard when typing the email subject title, so it turned out to be pageee instead of page. gosh and I sent that out. *smack head*)

dlb is not coming in today. =((( but 2lb is here. so that's good enough.

squeee going home late. =(( unless another tremor comes. but choychoychoy poor indonesia. and as I was telling nore, I'd really like to give to these poor nations but the problem is always that you don't know where the money's going. millions of dollars get channeled, and somebody's going to swipe some, which is totally annoying. I mean, if somebody could swipe patients' cards to buy underwear, anything's possible.

もむすのアルバムを聞くのはどうだい?さっきホタッキもう載せてた、ちょっと興味があるね。やはり自分のことなのに、毎日新しいことを発見できるね。これはアイデンティティなの?哦我的天我的日语太差了,还是算了吧。打华文字比较快。这是所谓的找自己吗?好像永远找不到似的。现在我不想找自己了,现在我要找食物。我的妈呀,1445了,难道娜嗒莎压力大到忘记吃饭了吗。可怜,可怜。可是怜悯没用。怜悯不能吃。=(

どうしようどうしよう~~~~~~

OK EATEN AND A PILE OF WORK CAME IN KYAAA.

into the abyss I go.

past the point of no return -- no going back now

okay lah it's not that bad. there's a back road, and I have an exit door. but I shall try. I said I will. so I shall. I need to pick up some confidence in myself and stop squirming away in my seat hoping for some gold to drop from the sky. darou?

yoshhh. ganbare.

(meanwhile, my gtalk has actually wiped out my contacts, so if you're on my gtalk, tell me your email address and I'll add you back, okay? also, I totally need like office office clothes. not necessarily collared long-sleeved button crap though. anything that screams shenton way will do. does anybody know where to get nice stuff that doesn't cost me a bomb?)

(and I'm still laughing at takki ranger. don't ask why.)

for the sake of posting, I'm posting. in fact because stupid lj's posting box  doesn't resize along with the brower window, I have to suffer from typing at 75% which is this stinking small thing that makes me look like I'm typing in font size 6. and it doesn't help that the letters get somewhat pixelated along the way for unknown reasons and makes it hard for me to see if I've typed a space or not. whatever.

I'm getting so used to this tiny 10" thing that when I get home occasionally I hit the wrong key. wah lao right. I realised that because september I was either busy or lazy or nothing much to update, my lj calendar looks terribly bare. the september page has so many gaps in between when I didn't post anything.

so what do I do? I post at work. at stinking 0953 in the morning. like since when was I even awake at this hour. blah. and the funniest thing is that this particular laptop doesn't support any language that isn't english, so it's really hilarious when I see pure chinese or japanese posts either on fb or on lj. they turn up as freaking blank spaces, leaving only any numbers or punctuations that exist in english behind. it's very funny. I saw one of my pure chinese posts, and all it had left were numbers and a couple of commas. so ridiculous. couldn't they even install mandarin. that's the reason why they need to handwrite the chinese signs they paste outside. probably because none of the computers here can actually type chinese, so they can't print the sign out. which is quite gross, because they write awkwardly partly because they haven't written chinese in ages, and also the phrasing is weird, probably because they didn't have any idea how to write the exact word they wanted to write, so they attemped writing it in some other way.

staring at the chunks of paragraphs in font size 6 makes this look scary. bah whatever. perhaps I'll get to eat lunch out today. perhaps. since the reception-ish bit of my job would be over before lunch can even kick in. plooey boss came in. he sits smack behinc me, so unless he goes out, there's no bejeweled today, I suppose. too bad. I actually brought my own mouse to play bejeweled okay! haha not entirely. mouses just make life on the computer easier. and I love my mouse. it's small and quiet and works on most surfaces.

I'm posting chunks of words that aren't interesting at all. I must be bored. but anyway, I realised that yabu's been up there for nearly 3 months, so it's time to come down. probably a jrocker should go up. it's been tonnes of je boys (with one arayan coming in, I think) for the past year? perhaps. oh my layout changes are worse than I thought. I checked. the layout before this was arayan. I totally thought there was something else in between. but my picture accounts don't seem to have anything else. but it does make sense. I remember doing this layout so white because my previous one was so dark. and before arayan was one of my favourite koichi private hearts layout, which started this thing about, "do you have something for pictures where guys sit down and cross their legs". it's the maa~ it was only 2 picturesss. and then before that was tsubasa, which seems like such a long time ago. that probably summed up the year, since layouts stay for generally about 3-4 months each. I guess my brain got mixed up after I did a small pile of wallpapers and did screw around with various pictures befores ettling on ya-bububu. I wanted some super hostclub hikaru on the next one, but since I haven't bothered watch orthros yet since it hasn't finished (and it gets to go one more week because ryo caught h1n1), so somebody else shall take that place first. who shall it be? I shall try to get some inspiration later. I should do somebody totally funky, really. like whip out a ruiza (which I've been wanting to whip out for a long long time), or maybe a saga (which has been on the waiting list forever too), or...maybe I should suddenly whip out a narimiya or a mizushima or an oguri or or or...a female. jangjangjang.

enough about layouts. gosh. I seem to talk forever about layouts. I meant to type about something else but now I've forgotten what I wanted to say. too much about layouts. in any case, my boring life goes on as usual, work in the office, continue my snitching at home. trying to finish up the last 2 articles for dreamboys, and maybe start on something else that's supposed to be part of the queue. I'm getting very apprehensive about translating the kanjani articles that I meant to simply because I really require a kansai ben dictionary. I can guess some things, but some are just way out of range. also, as usual, I meant to join week 33 at myv_stillness but then I don't have time nor inspiration to do so, since I'm not in a graphics mood these days. and then I apparently owe people a shige fic update which I should move onto google docs so I can write it at work. *snort*

and I should stop writing here otherwise I swear I will write on and on until 6pm and you'll get this amazing shitload of words that nobody wants to read, as usual. oh well what the hell. oh CRAPPINESS I need to return coin locker babies tomorrow. already extended it once. WAILETH. in fact I need to return them all. perhaps sister and I should meet at national library instead. waileth. I wanted to fiinish reading it since it was so hard to get hold of it again. although I more or less remember the rest of the story now. insanity breeds insanity.

owari.

like brain half fell out.

and I half feel like I'm in band again. own instruments, own scores. cool stuff. but no conductor. dang. so we're all going to rely on instincts. man. I wonder how long this will last, though.

*attempts putting brain back in*

so tired. I wish hanners were real. I'd hire her for the day.

after everyone else left, the two ladies left behind were talking about how their last week at work was going to be. because apparently lady #2 tendered her resignation after she snagged another job, and unfortunately her last day clashes with lady #1's last day. and lady #1 tendered first, after some painful half year with the company. or something along those lines. perhaps that's why boss' face was half perplexed when I said I was interested in publishing. (and actually basically trying to keep off PR and marketing blah blah.)

good for the ladies though. they know what they want.

while I only know that I want to bum at home.

*brain falls out again*

I'm sorreh that's a sign I need to sleep. sigh.

for some really odd reason or the other, singaporeans online are painfully obvious. more and more are joining the fandom, and appearing all over the place, popping up in international forums, in lj communities, and they are so obviously singaporean.

and I suppose the most 丢脸part (because somehow the word embarrassing doesn't entirely encompass the meaning of 丢脸) is that usually they're obvious either from the way they write their english (because singlish can be smelt 20,000km away), or the way they diss/praise/talk/react to other people. like I've just spotted another *ahem* one. there was just something about the way she wrote that was made me suspicious.

of course, not all are below 15 and childish and say stupid things in lousy english, but there are. so. many. of. them. my sister was saying the other day that somebody suggested that the good english movement should try targeting the online audience. I think the online audience needs more than good english though.

people need to learn that they aren't the world. and neither is this island the world. and that what you like is what you like. what others want to say is what others want to say. you can stand for your own point, but you don't have to be uncivilised about it. we've all grown up selfish one way or the other, and it's so hard to identify it, because we're all the same. scarily enough.

in other stories, uchi sang masterkey on shokura the other day, june's music fair had gackt, glay and abs on the same programme like omg!!, I suddenly realised I have 6 dreamboys magazine articles to translate, d-boys went on tokyo friend park II but I never knew, and biotronic is taking over my life. also, 1 more part to completing psc tour 2009, I still haven't joined the 48 part l'arcumentary, but I finally found double! woohooo! also, I'm losing track of the date, so I need to set reminders to return my library books or I'll owe them money again for no good reason. for that matter, I need to return kitai sensei the cd as well, before I end up borrowing it for 2 months again.
