KUROSAGI MOVIE

Please remind me to write about KUROSAGI Movie trip! *laughs*

I had a fun day by the way~

Yeah!

NEWS spam/wank/flail/fangirling/whatever *laughs*

Sorry for not giving a proper post, I promise the next post will be a proper update! *laughs* But first, let me get what I want to say out first~ Strangely, I got a little affected after reading some posts and comments~ Over at LJ of course! Not that I don't want to post there, but I find a little no point posting there when I'm already in hiatus for a long time.

I'm so outdated over there until I don't know how to start again~ *laughs* Anyway, I'm now listening to NEWS Happy Birthday Single already! It is uploaded here and click on the MF link because it usually works for most people~ *laughs* Thanks Emilia for the fast uploading!!

Basically, I was browsing through some posts over at LJ, then I found out that everyone holds different, in fact very different, opinions for this single. Generally, I love this single very much, to the state that I would really buy another copy just for the sake of keeping.

Actually, the feel has subsided. I don't really feel down now~ *laughs* Thanks to HB Single~ But, just now I really felt down. Because some claimed that they can't bring themselves to like the songs in HB. Suddenly I wondered, am I different? Why do I think that this single is wonderful, when others can't even bring themselves to listen~

But come to think of it, everyone's taste is different, you can't suit all~ So I'm still happy with my HB download~ When I get my copy I'll definitely rip out my version!^^ I always like things to fully belong to me~ *laughs*

For those who want to have a go, please listen to Happy Birthday Single! I think it is an excellent single of NEWS! It is comparable to Hoshi wo Mezashite! Almost! *laughs* I think my review will be coming up soon~ After that big review post I've done last time~ I want to do some ranking stuff too! *laughs* I'll do them then! Even though it is late now~ *laughs*

Ja ne!

Right on my birthday! I was so happy!^^
Yeah~
I love FedEx!

Yeah!

Actually, I have another post drafted, but not completed, I wonder when am I going to complete it~ But nevermind, continue with a short post first!!

Today Star gave me a surprise! *laughs* She said she prepared for the surprise for a few days.. But I couldn't figure out what she was preparing.. Suddenly today she said she need to accompany the surprise with a physical item (previously she said it is not a physical item), and it was a cake..

We got my cake from breadtalk instead, thank you so much!!!^^ Super nice ok! Or probably because of my mood? Or probably it was like my next birthday cake since 3 or 4 years ago? I don't know~ But I love it! And what is that surprise?

"Umareta koto OH~
Deaeta koto OH~
Ima soba ni ireru koto arigatou
Kimi no Happy Birthday
Ichinen ni ichido no mahou tokubetsu na hi"

If you don't know what the above means, it's the lyrics to NEWS "Happy Birthday"!!! Thanks for learning the song!! I'm really so so so happy!!

So this is the side story of the day~ Pictures next time then! *laughs* I love that cake~ Too bad my last bite~ *cries*

I'm a happy girl now!
Because all the songs in Happy Birthday is super nice!
And I received good feedbacks about KUROSAGI movie!!
And I'm going to watch it in another 21+ hours time!!
Oh yeah!!!!!!!!!!

Still not enough sleep~

But I want to blog a little, on the movie I watched yesterday~

Yeah~ I watched HANADAN~ Not that I really wanted to watch it, but somehow I heard that the story was written by the manga author, so I suggested to watch it~ *laughs* In the end, I don't think it was written by the manga author at all~ *disappointed* But never mind, at least I enjoyed the movie. And I have several conclusions~

First Conclusion:
JE is vulgar.

*laughs* I'm kidding.. But then, I didn't exactly expect them to use vulgarities~ For people who know me well, I'm a little sensitive to the "F" word. No longer that sensitive now, but I don't really like it when people around me use it. So.. I don't think this is a spoiler, but if you think it is, don't read on, skip to the next point or something~ *laughs* When (suddenly I'm stuck here wondering how should I address the male lead... "Domyoji" or "MatsuJun"? Never mind...) Domyoji walked towards the caucasian, I expected him to speak some sort of english... Somehow, I do expect the word coming, but I was still shock when I heard it~ *laughs* I got a shock! Really! But Mai was making fun of it, because of the way he pronounced it, it became "hak" or some sort~ *laughs* Yes, that seems funny enough, and no longer that vulgar~ Next point then!

EDIT:
Hey, I realised I forgot to say something else, and I hurried onto the second point! *laughs* You know the reason I said JE was vulgar? Pi showed his middle finger in KUROSAGI Drama. Oh well, everyone is vulgar some way or another~ *laughs* But Pi looked so cool!^^ But he was vulgar!! Argh~

Second Conclusion:
MatsuJun has better prononciation than Pi, in English.

I thought of this suddenly when I was writing about the first point. I was about to write another point, but suddenly I thought of this, so I continued with this first~ So, MatsuJun was given many opportunities to speak English in this movie (I suddenly hate him for that, HMPH! *laughs*), and quite amazingly, I can understand all and his spoke quite well~ Quite a clear articulation, as well as accent~ Though still sounds a little awkward, it is overall better than Pi's. Pi's, was from KUROSAGI. But it is unfair for me to compare them, because the English they spoke are of different topics! One spoke common conversational English, the other one was Business English. I think that may be the reason why I can't really understand Pi's English. I'm tempted to re-watch Pi's English part again, but I can't. I must endure, just 2 weeks more! *laughs*

Third Conclusion:
Fujiki Naohito is the hottest in the movie, not F4~

I can't remember my third point, so I'm writing this first~ Mai and I had the same opinion! We discussed a little after the movie, and we both thought that he looked the best in the movie! *laughs* Frankly, he looked so much better than in Proposal Daisakusen, and so so so much better than all the 4 flower boys!! I think it is because of his hairstyle. Mai thought so too~

Fourth Conclusion:
Predictables, Unpredictables, Cliches

Well, this movie is full of the three I've mentioned above. I'm lazy to type~ *laughs* Xuan and I were guessing the scenarios out, and most of the times we hit it at the spot. *laughs* There were times where I tried to predict, but it came out totally opposite, and I'm happy about this, because at least this isn't any common movies where everything can be predicted~ But cliches, there are many too~ *laughs* You know those angles thing? Where the camera spins around the leads? Yes, I think it's so cliched and funny until I laughed out loud~

Fifth Conclusion:
I'm afterall a person who has a heart for the animals.

During a scene, there were fishes swimming in a fish tank. The moment I saw it, I knew they were going to break it to create some actions. Just as what I've predicted, they did. So right at that moment, my focus went onto that fish tank, and I was trying to see if any fishes were left, or they used an empty tank. Sadly to say, I saw fishes struggling, and I felt so sad for the fishes, even though they were meant to be eaten anyway~ *laughs* So I ignored all the actions going around, and focused at the fishes~ Mai sort of commented that I'm like a killjoy? Not sure~ *laughs*

Sixth Conclusion:
A good movie, with actions, romance as well as comedy~ Quite an all-rounder^^

Not bad, I enjoyed the movie, and I really laughed out loud during parts where they were supposed to be funny~ However, I wasn't able to get into the atmosphere/emotions/situation of the movie. I know at parts they were saddening/touching/frustrating/nerve-wrecking, but I couldn't get involved and feel them. I wonder what has gone wrong. Was it because of my lack of sleep? The cinema's atmosphere? My sub-conscious?

Seventh and The Last Conclusion:
I think I still prefer the manga.

*laughs* Well, that explains, because I'm a manga-lover afterall. I started off from the manga, so I should end with the manga. I think dramas do try to develop the stories well, but it is always the manga which manages to convey its story to the readers the most. For HYD lovers, I believe most of them started off as manga readers, like me^^ I'm a collector of HYD, but I don't really watch the dramas. Or I think the Taiwanese version had killed it~ *laughs* As in the part 2. Part 1 was fine, it followed the plot in the manga. Well, I guess I have to dig out the manga and read again~ I feel so HYD now! *laughs* Probably one day, I may watch the Japanese version. Probably~ *laughs*

Well, but I admit, the music is good~ But I found it a little familiar, in the end it was the same composer as the one who did it for KUROSAGI Movie. I think he is a famous composer, so it's not much of a surprise. One insert song did it for me, it really touched me I guess? *laughs* No wonder it's Tsukushi's Theme Song, because it suits her so much somehow. I like it and so I found it!^^



The song above is it!^^ By the way, the live version of this song sounds great as well. And the singer's singing style or whatever seems akin to Massu! *laughs* I kept thinking of Massu! The link is here if you want to watch it~ I think this song is not bad though~ Worth listening. Next song, is Arashi's One Love, Theme Song for HYD Final I guess~ A nice song too~ It was only until this stage then I realised Arashi also kinda genki genki kind.. Hmmm.. I wonder why I like NEWS, not them~ *laughs* But there are a few songs which I like as well~ So, it's still ok~ Star pasted some rumours to me and that made me realised NEWS and Arashi are a little alike in their songs somehow. Genki genki. But NEWS is still better!^^ Just that NEWS has gotten a little ero~ *laughs*



Last song, or rather insert, of the day, is my favourite BGM of KUROSAGI. I'm really happy that they included it in the OST. *laughs* Of course they will!^^ I think the songs will take a long time to come, because I'm only just starting to upload them, and imeem is a little slow now~ Argh. I want my KUROSAGI to be up~ Sacrificing Arashi! *laughs*



Alright, seems like I can't sacrifice any~ Never mind then. Things recently have been making me very happy^^ I think probably it's my birthday month? That's why I feel happy or I can regain my happiness back quickly? The power of birthday~ *laughs* Firstly, someone whom I missed a lot finally chatted with me a little! Even though a little, I'm so glad that we didn't lose contacts after 3 months of slience. *laughs* I must reply her later! If not tomorrow! *laughs*

Secondly, I'll be receiving my birthday presents! Yeah!^^ Thanks everyone who prepared them! I know you all prepared them! *laughs* I know I'll definitely get something from you guys, whoever is getting me presents! I shall thank everyone first! But not only this, this year, I'll be getting a present from someone overseas too!^^ She is a very nice person! Thanks so much Emilia!^^ I know what it's going to be, because it is something she intended to sell. However, when I requested for it, she immediately said she wanted to give me as a present^^ So I gladly accepted it~ Thanks!!!! *loves*

Thirdly, I had so many celebrations (despite of myself being broke) and I'm going to have celebrations again! *laughs* I have a pizza treat with Mai! For my birthday, and I'm going to treat her back for KUROSAGI Movie! Not to mention, my clique is going back to school to present our "baby" (I wanted to mean "Jie Jing" *laughs*), the Lavender Soy Milk. *laughs* Isn't that another kind of celebration? I also had KARAOKE session before my attachment, as well as many tiny outings which I can't remember now~ *laughs* Thanks everyone!^^ I enjoyed fully before my attachment!

And last but not least, NEWS is releaasing their 10th (but I considered it the 11th, never mind) single "Happy Birthday" near my birthday!^^ Even though it is not released on my birthday, I'm already very very happy for it!^^

So, I'm going to include another 2 inserts from KUROSAGI Movie again~ *laughs* I'll be very very super happy if you can listen to them~^^ (Including the one above~) All of these are my favourites!





So everyone, enjoy yourself to the fullest during this attachment period, holiday period, working period, whichever period you're going to have! *laughs* Ganbatte ne!

HANADAN!

I watched it!! Yeah~ Hahah.. I'll update again tomorrow or when I have time! I'm going to bathe soon! Argh, not enough sleep already~ Next week watching KUROSAGI! Oh yeah! My Pi! *laughs*

Ja ne!

See no evil

*laughs* Just want to push that rant post down, so that you guys will see no evil~ The evil Mao I mean~ So, a little update on what I've been doing, plus some thoughts I had just now after visiting Bunka~ *laughs*

My attachment/internship has already started! Just this monday! It was fun overall I guess~ But a little tiring, due to the early reporting time and all. I know there are some who will be complaining about their longer hours and earlier reporting time, I know~ But then, you know how difficult it is for me to wake up early don't you? *laughs* So Mao has been trying hard to sleep before 12 and wake up before 6:30.

I learned a lot during this 5 days! Just 5 days! I learned a lot! *laughs* I got to touch the UHT machine on my second day! Meizi too in fact! And our supervisor said that we're very lucky. *laughs* And I got to handle UHT supplying on the third day onwards? *laughs* I even got to understand and handle the CIP for UHT on the fifth day! While all these were being done, we handled a few projects, all drink related, almost all on our own will occasional help and guidance from our supervisors. This makes me want to work harder everyday! *laughs*

But still, I've not familiarised with all the equipments in the lab yet. I want to learn more! I think Meizi too right? I have to write my log book soon! *laughs* I think working there is a good experience for us, because we seriously learnt so much out of the text that we studied in school. Of course the theory is there, but the practical is definitely different, and that's why we're able to learn more things, and gain more experiences.

So conclusion, internship is good. It really enriches your mind and soul! *laughs So everyone else, please work as hard or even harder for your internship! I look forward to meeting everyone soon!

Another thing, just now I went to Bunka (my japanese school) to collect something. Oh dear, I forgot about my cert! *laughs* Alright, I shall collect that probably next week I guess~ So, I went there, and I went to take a look at the schedule. All the timings that are remained are so unsuitable for myself. I feel a little quite very sort of disappointed when I realised that one of the saturday evening class may be conducted by my preferred sensei, Ando sensei. But still, I wouldn't be able to sign for that lesson because it is full right now and I don't really have the money yet. So no choice. Now all the timings left are weekday nights. Not for me. Argh. I want a weekend morning timing! But seems like it will be very far away, hopefully they open some sunday morning timing again~ And please let it be Ando sensei~

Oh, Ando sensei was there as well~ *laughs* He said "konnichiwa" to me! Hahaha, he has not forgotten me though~ What a good memory~ Basically, his teaching style is good~ He tends to be a little rush on time, but he explains well and more detailed. It was only after I took a replacement class, as I missed my class, then I know how another teacher was teaching badly. That teacher merely read from the text book, doesn't explain much, and is super duper boring~ Anyway, the teacher I'm having now is still better off than that teacher, so please please don't let me fall into his hands, my money will go to waste and my japanese will die~ *laughs* Anyway, Ando sensei always greet the students whenever he sees them~ So much so until my coursemates said that his is my "BF"~ *laughs* Good if he is biased to me, then if I really get into his class, I can get more tips know? *laughs* I'm willing to try another teacher, but I hope he or she will be a good one~

So, pray~ *laughs*

I'm going Bonkers

WARNING: ANGERED MAO AHEAD, BEWARE

I feel like scolding vulgarities!!!!!!!!!! (Even though I don't.) Seriously, I CAN'T STAND THE FAMILY LIVING ON MY LEFT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! People who have heard from me, you know why already, people who hasn't, read on if you want to know~

Well, I got so pissed of all because of yesterday's night. You know I've started my attachment right? It's a 8.30 to 5.30 work, and everyday, I have to wake up around 6 plus and go out by 7 plus to reach my workplace on time. Therefore, I have to sleep around 10 or 11 in the night.

Yesterday, I finally was going to have my sleep. And I slept! Peacefully! Until a moment where I was woken up, by NOISE. I don't call that SINGING, I call that NOISE. And guess what? They are NOISE-ING now~ Argh! They are getting on my nerves!!!!!!!!!!! Want to know what kind of noise was that? Their children (yes, children, no longer child, I wonder where the other one came from~), were singing songs. To be exact, the songs are A-Mei's songs. One famous title, "KU BU CHU LAI" (meaning can't cry). Seriously, I listen to that kind of singing I also cannot cry la! How to cry?! *grumbles*

The children/child were/was singing know?!?! Or rather, shouting, screaming, creating noises with the MIC. Yes, MIC. I forgot to mention, THEY WERE USING A MIC, FOR A CHILD!!!!!!!!! What's worse? They switched the volume key TO THE MAX. TO THE MAX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! By the way, do you know what time was it? 12 midnight!! 12 MIDNIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What the hell seriously!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was so super pissed off! They even created those noises where you place the mics close to each other, those screeching sounds. And you know how the child sings? "OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH~~~~~~~~~~~~ OOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH~~~~~~~~~~~~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Nice? Care to listen to it? Let me know and I'll record it LIVE for you, sounds nice?

And the parents + grandmother were not doing anything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You know what made me so pissed off? Was the the grandmother was still praising the child!! "Ay-seh~!!!!!!!!!!!!" *claps* -_____________________________________-||||||||||||||||| What the hell~

I don't know what's wrong with the family, but THAT WAS NOT THE FIRST TIME ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think it was the 877364236754130139411352751895 times? Whatever. Everyday, EVERYDAY!!!!! I hear A-Mei's concert from them to the stage where I can tell the sequence of the songs and how to sing the songs. Amazing? Their child sings the songs EVERYDAY!!!!!!!!!! ALL the howls, screams, screeches and more. I don't get WHY ON EARTH NO ONE COMPLAINT THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't want to say more on their habits. Even though I'm only stating the truth. All I asked for, was for them to be considerate, and not blast music in the late night. But just before this, one last thing about them. They play Mahjong throughout the night occasionally. But that is occasionally, I can forgive that. NOT THE "SINGING". PLEASE. If I ever want to listen to A-Mei's, I'll buy the concert DVD, if not the tickets to the concert. I don't need you to DRILL the songs into my head EVERYDAY!!!!!!!!!!

ARGH! I felt so pissed off! I think I may give them a bad face if I went over to "request them to LOWER their volume". So Meizi, I don't think I'll ever go over. If I did it one day, rest assured, I'll be super pissed off and give them a scolding right at their faces. I was so pissed off yesterday night that I almost wanted to dial for police you know?!?! *SCREAMS*

*end of rants*

Your result for The Quick & Painless ENNEAGRAM Test...

9 - the Peacemaker

Thanks for taking the test !

you chose BX - your Enneagram type is NINE (aka "The Mediator")

"I am at peace"

Peacemakers are receptive, good-natured, and supportive. They seek union
with others and the world around them.

How to Get Along with Me

• If you want me to do something, how you ask is important. I especially
  don't like expectations or pressure.



• I like to listen and to be of service, but don't take advantage of this.



• Listen until I finish speaking, even though I meander a bit.



• Give me time to finish things and make decisions. It's OK to nudge
  me gently and nonjudgmentally.



• Ask me questions to help me get clear.



• Tell me when you like how I look. I'm not averse to flattery.



• Hug me, show physical affection. It opens me up to my feelings.



• I like a good discussion but not a confrontation.



• Let me know you like what I've done or said.



• Laugh with me and share in my enjoyment of life.

What I Like About Being a NINE

• being nonjudgmental and accepting



• caring for and being concerned about others



• being able to relax and have a good time



• knowing that most people enjoy my company; I'm easy to be around



• my ability to see many different sides of an issue and to be a good
  mediator and facilitator



• my heightened awareness of sensations, aesthetics, and the here and
  now



• being able to go with the flow and feel one with the universe

What's Hard About Being a NINE

• being judged and misunderstood for being placid and/or indecisive



• being critical of myself for lacking initiative and discipline



• being too sensitive to criticism; taking every raised eyebrow and twitch of the mouth personally



• being confused about what I really want



• caring too much about what others will think of me



• not being listened to or taken seriously

NINEs as Children Often

• feel ignored and that their wants, opinions, and feelings are unimportant
  



• tune out a lot, especially when others argue



• are "good" children: deny anger or keep it to themselves
  

NINEs as Parents

• are supportive, kind, and warm



• are sometimes overly permissive or nondirective

You Know What?

I just cried. *laughs*
I just cried.
You did not read wrongly, I just cried.
*laughs*
I don't know what I'm crying for.
Seriously.
All I did was to watch video, many though.
The one that make me cried, amazingly.
I'll show it at the end of the post.
Basically, I still wonder why I cry.
Strange.
I seem to have a soft spot for animals.
Anyway, I watched several videos!
From cute cats, to cats and dogs, and finally to parrots.
It was from parrots, I started to tear.
*laughs*
But why?
Anyway, I moved on to budgies.
They are super cute!
Their voices are so animated and radio-like!
I thought it was fake!
So, I watched, until this video, and I cried.
With a little sobbing too~
I think I miss birds too much.
I need birds.
Or rather, I need my chicken.
Ahhhhhhhhh...
Now I really feel like crying.
My chicken~
*misses you always*

Happy "Bath" Day!!

Alright.. I'm good enough ok~ To dedicate one full post to you~ And I spent 3 hours in doing some small things for you, YOU BETTER APPRECIATE THEM! (I admit, I'm doing all these because I have no money to celebrate with you~ *laughs*)

So, Happy Birthday to Maisurah~!
*pops champagne* *cheers* *claps* *fireworks* *confetti*
(Enough commotion? *laughs*)

Thank goodness I'm ready to post exactly on 00:00, later then message you la~ Hahaha.. So, I'm going to present to you what I've done, YOU MUST ACCEPT THEM OK!!!!!!!! I shall skin you alive if you don't even bother to take 10 minutes to see what I've done for you. Obviously it is nothing much, but I took 3 HRS ok! Some more I must say, this is much more difficult compared to "the rest", you'll know what I mean later~ *laughs* Alright, enjoy first!^^

Another present, thank goodness I remembered~ Please go here~
However, I don't have all I realised. Must have forgotten to upload~







*Disclaimers*
My original video IS IN SYNC!!!!!!! So blame the host, not me~ Argh.. I'm so upset!!! I tried it 3 times!!!

*Spoilers* (You should only read after you've watched the above clip~)

Firstly, SHIGE!!!!!!!!! What happened to you?! Your shots are so little! *laughs* I had a hard time finding appropriate scenes of Shige solos ok! Koyama would have been an easier target, I can't believe it.. So in a few scenes, you realised the focus is not on Shige, but on other members, he JUST HAPPENED to be beside~ *laughs* I'm watching it as I'm posting, so that I know what else to write~

And it is so obvious to see that he is lip syncing some of the times~ Not to disappoint you though. But he is kakkoi at some points la~ Haha.. And oh, I realised his habit in dancing/singing la~ His signature hand movement, when he was performing "SNOW EXPRESS".. That hand sticking out and bringing back~ Also he likes to frown like no tomorrow~ *laughs*

Also, some of the scenes he wasn't even singing. *laughs* I included some Koyama, because you like him too, but the main reason is because, he is easier to capture and during his parts, shige has very little appearance, but these appearances are the only appearance during that song performance. *laughs* Most of the times, he gets only 2-3 seconds focus. *laughs* So it was really difficult for me to get that 3 seconds out~ No point at all~ Don't even have a full phrase in the lyrics~

No subs, but you don't really need it anyway, this is the chance for you to admire your Shige's performance. Don't worry, not much of spoilers, and frankly, by watching the real DVD, I think his appearances would have only increased from 5:16 to probably 10 minutes? *laughs* I mean his SOLO~ I think? *laughs*

Previously, I wanted to combine both videos, but too bad they are of different resolution, I'm too lazy to change, so I uploaded as 2 vids~ Also, I've found Kose CM, but don't really suit the whole vid, and also I think the resolution different? In the end, just like this~ *laughs*

You must tell me all the songs in sequence ok! I don't care, being a NEWS fan, you must be able to recognise all songs in the clip above, they are so easy ok! Homework for you! And don't you dare find the tracklist of the DVD, because I did them in sequence~ Hahaha..

Anyway, I hope you can enjoy the 2 videos above~ Happy Birthday!!^^

*Spoilers end*

For others, you may watch too~^^ *laughs* And realise how pathetic it was~ *laughs* Tomorrow will be my last paper, but I've not studied much yet!! How can I! Argh~ Have to wake up early tomorrow~ Last dash! Eh? Should be "Last Spurt"! Oh yeah! Hahaha..

*EDIT*
You know what? After watching for many times, I think.. I've done QUITE a good job~ *laughs* Though the joints may be abrupt, but not that abrupt? *laughs* I don't know what I'm talking about. Youtube, please don't screw up!

It screwed up~ Not going to care anymore~ Anyway, blogger I TRUST YOU!

I GIVE UP!

Pi's Hand and Wink!

Remember about my meme? If you didn't read, it's ok~ (It's too long anyway~)

Just pasting the clip which refers to what these qns has asked and what I've answered.

14)說出本命的習慣／癖好。[Name the habits of Honmei.]
Uses left hand to hold chopsticks when he is a right-hander. Habitually closes his right eye when winking~^^

42) 本命的唱歌特徵。[Special features of Honmei's singing.]
Short note? But I think that's due to shortness of breath~ *laughs* And as mentioned before, his right hand!! His right hand in a hand-shaking shape, placing it higher than his head, then his looks/sight/view will follow his right hand as it moves down~ Some times the eyes will not look at the hand, but the hand will still move from above the head to bout chest height~^^ I shall cut out a clip to show when I have the time~^^

So now~ The hand and the wink~ Hehe~ The songs are "Mafuyu no Nagareboshi" (~Sora ni Matakaita) and "Cherish"(~Kissu Dekiru) ! Pi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

KUROSAGI Movie

Oh yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
KUROSAGI The Movie will screen on 18th Sep!! One day right after my birthday! *laughs* It shall be my belated birthday present then~ On the other hand, the DVD will be released on 16th Sep. Just what is wrong with my birthday? *laughs* Alright, probably the parcel will reach me ON my birthday~^^ Mai! Let's watch together ok! KUROSAGI! I'm so happy until I can watch HYDF too~ *laughs*

Now I have more things to save money for~ How nice~ Did I mention? Happy Birthday Single will be released on 1st Oct!! That means, I have to save for movies and singles. Then I'll have to save for the movie DVD (Singapore version). Argh! They surely know how to choose their time well~

So, to make my birthday week and birthday more NEWS/Pi-filled, they should air "Happy Birthday" PV on 17th. *laughs* Probably come out with a couple of DVD release news on 15th Sep, followed by some CM in Singapore announcing the screening of KUROSAGI on 19th Sep. Lastly, 20th, 21st can be filled with some NEWS related activities~ *laughs*

Alright, I think September will be such an enjoyable month for me, even though my attachment is starting RIGHT ON THE DOT.

I shall end here then~ Oh yeah! SEPTEMBER~ SEPTEMBER~ SEPTEMBER~

Firefox Wins

Thanks Lucy! Whoever and wherever you are, for the full hour of help you've provided me! She is a friendly volunteer on Mozilla Firefox help live chat!^^

So, I think the problem for my Firefox is FINALLY solved. I can switch off my com without worries now~ *laughs* Have to sleep!

Nite!

My Firefox

Argh... I didn't expect my firefox to not work on this com. And I've been tolerating this Firefox until today. Finally, I went to the live chat to find solutions, and my connection had to die on me~ Now I have to restart on my queue~ How nice~ I want my firefox to be fixed totally!

Number 6 in the queue. Faster! Anyway, my main purpose of posting is not about my Firefox. It is about some coincidences that clashed with "Happy Birthday"~ *laughs*

I thought, it was something amazing, since I wasn't notified of any NEWS news since Saturday, which means I know nothing about their Kose CM until today, or yesterday.

Probably a week ago, I chatted with Jess, and I told her about my "wish" that NEWS will release something during Sep/Oct period so that I'll have something to tide my attachment period through. And well, NEWS are releasing something, on the 1st Oct, so my wish came true~^^

But this is not the main thing. *laughs* I had a dream today, this morning, or probably yesterday morning, considering the time now. Whichever morning it was, I had a dream. I wouldn't have noticed the chemistry if not for chatting with Mai just now.

Somehow, my class and I were having some lesson, taught by 2 females? Strange enough. Then Meizi's birthday was close, in fact it is now.

Happy Birthday Meizi!~ I shall owe you your celebration this year until I get more money~! Sorry about it! Enjoy your birthday ok!^^

Alright, back to the dream. Then I forgot what happened, Meizi suddenly told me it was the birthday of one of the females teaching, and we sang a happy birthday song for her. Right after that, I went out of the room and went into a fair kind of thing. Many cds and vcds and dvds were displayed, and I was attracted by the poster which said something about Tony Sun Xie Zhi's old albums. Of course I searched for his albums! But they were so dusty, and suddenly I thought of searching for NEWS discs, so I looked for NEWS instead. I saw KT's, a DVD with title "NEW ...." something which I can't remember much, and no NEWS. Then I was woken up by my aunt's and Star's sms~

But hey. There are a few links isn't it? From singing Happy Birthday to finding NEWS discs~ Wow~ I'm having some telepathy with NEWS~ *laughs*

My Firefox is still not fixed. *cries*
