A Blessing in Disguise

Was called up the day before for some sports activities on Saturday morning. Agreed to go but overslept on the day. Got a call to wake me up and realise it was cancelled due to bizzare weather. Just as i thought i could enjoy more of my beauty sleep in such a weather, they already have new plan up their sleeves.

We decided to go to Plaza Sing to have our breakfast. Although some part of me felt reluctant, am actually pleased that we could meet up and catch up with one another. We have our breakfast cum lunch at the Mahatthan Fish Market restaurant. After that we spent the whole afternoon walking and shopping all the way from Plaza Sing to Orchard Ion with Bong going on the shopping spree. It doesn't end here as afterwards, we went ahead to bugis without Xue, who raise the white flag and went home. We seperated at bugis in the evening with each of us having to attend other things.

It was a great day for me. It has been a long time since i felt so enjoyable although my body language might not show it. It kinda reminds me back to the time where the three of us first started out, where we would usually go out together in threes rather than the later five.

An Open Letter to my Dear...

This letter was written on Friday night during work. I am sitting on a metal platform, staring at rows of empty cells. Lots of thoughts filled my mind. Tomorrow is a Saturday. A normal day. Just another weekend you thought. However, nowadays a Saturday with my own free time is so rare to comeby since i'm having shift work that i wonder how many weekend have i wasted.

Sitting alone here, i recalled back the Saturdays that we used to spent. The time where we have to wait for hours for our indo cusine. The time where we just took a long walk down the stretch of roads along clarke quay river. The time where i'm complaining late but you guys insist to go for a pool session at bugis. The time where we scrimp our daily allownance just to catch a movie at marina square. The time we sing our voice out loud in a small cozy room at kbox cineleisure. The time we have our dinner at east coast and was left stuck in the car after dinner wonder what to do next. The time we went for our bukit timah hiking adventure thanks to my coursework. Do you have all these with you? Because these are some of the most precious and wonderful memories that i had kept deep inside my heart.

It is nearly if not already been a year since the five of us came out together. The main culprit is...

life.

Everyone is busy with their life. Everyone met new people in their life. Everyone move on to a new chapter of their life. No time was spared for the past. No time was spared for what had passed. Everyone look forward. I am not blaming anyone. This is life. Therefore this letter is is here, to remind us to take a step back, look around, you might have miss someone or someone might havbe missed you.

Unlike others, i admit that i do not have much friends. Some people goes for quantities, but i prefer qualities. You are the few that i trust, the few that i can pour my heart out to. It is not easy to be able to do that. It takes years to build up the trust and the affinity. I cherish the time we spent together and i hope we can create more special moment together.

P.S: So which Saturday are we meeting? =)

When lifes goes on, when times wait for no one, when everyone's moving forward, we tend to forget how much time it had been since we last met up with our best buds, sitting around together, chilling around, catching up with one another.

It had been a long time since we last met each other. Wish i could meet up with you guys soon.

Communication Breakdown

After a long hiatus, i'm back with an unpleasant post. This post is kind of personal and should be address to those whom it may concern.

Friend or Foe?

Paranoid? Yes you are. A situation like this shouldn't had happen in the first place, but what a blessing in disguise, at least it allows me to get a clear idea what kind of person i am to others.

Allow me to get myself clear once and for all. Even before the match i already knew it was a clear winner who would win it. I just couldn't see spurs getting anything out of the game. After that match what i couldn't agree is how spurs gave up without even trying and it kinda disappointing as it makes it no point to continue if one of them is just playing around. However what i'm pissed off with was spurs only. I don't know why the gunners kept assuming we think he's cheating or something? Clearly it's not his fault, but he believed the whole world is after him.

From then on he just kept getting paranoid. Whatever i said, every single words to him is sour grapes. Why do i kept mentioning 'that' match, why can't i forget 'that' match? he claimed. But when did i ever ever ever mention about that match after that day? One thing he didn't realise is that it is HIM who couldn't forget about it, that's why to him, whatever i said becomes some kind of hidden message which is used to blame him for 'that' match.

Of course i'm partly blame for some 'harsh' words (maybe to him it harsh), but that is what you get from others when you are at the top. He is not the only one who get the sticks. We (including him) did the same thing on 06 07 08. How many times have i been harsh on manure. It's normal, can't you see it? And how many years have we been? Do i look like those who can't take defeat? Even after those swearing i've made, if it can't get drilled into your little tiny brain and insist that you are right, there are nothing more i can prove.

I seriously don't know whatelse i can do. All i know is that at the end of this post, everything comes to an end... including our friendship. I can stand your bashing, i can stand your opinion, but i cannot stand accusation of what i had not done.

When will I Get My White Christmas?

Christmas is finally around the corner. This also means that the year is coming to an end. Recently i remembered that i once posted a picture of a xmas tree. I went to check it in my archive and realise it was posted here in year 2006. It was a crystal xmas tree in Bugis. So now i bring you the giant xmas tree in Takashimaya 2008. =D

Took this picture after my japanese class. Right now i'm on Intermediate-4 level. Finally, if i'm able to get through it, i'll be in the Advance level with a minimum knowledge equivalent to JLPT-3. I'm actually trying to write a post in japanese. Perhaps i'll give it a try next time.

On to the jpop news. Jpop girl band, SPEED is back! After the disband in year 2000, they are now back in 2008 with their new single 「あしたの空」released on 12/11/2008 which basically means tomorrow's sky.

2009 Calender ready for Pre-order.

Finally make my way back here after a period of missing in action. Alright get back to the topic, like the title say, 2009 calender are already up for pre-order. This year pre-order of 2009 calender seems to be alittle early. This is because past experience shows that they have too much stock left and couldn't be sold out in time. Therefore this time round they push up early so that they have adequate time to clear as much stocks as possible.

It seems like i'm going to get Masami-chan calender again for 2009.

Masami Nagasawa [Calendar 2009 (Try-X Ltd.)]

すてきですね、雅美ちゃん。

In my previous post i posted the review or sypnosis of the dorama 'Last Friend'. Until now, i still couldn't make myself to complete watching the series as i find it too boring. The plot was moving so slowly and it makes me feel sleepy. I was expecting much from this dorama before watching it as there's Nagasawa Masami and Ueno Juri in it. Kinda disappointing. Anyway life moves on and im currently catching 'Code Blue' this season. Already watched the first episode and yeap, i'm certain that it is a good dorama with YamaPi, Toda Erika and Aaragaki Yui. By just looking at the cast you know that this drama definitely would never go wrong.

Code Blue

The drama's full title is "Code Blue: Doctor Heli Kinkyu Kyumei." The concept is based on Japan's proposal for an emergency medical service using helicopters to quickly reach those in need. A special bill was passed in June 2007 that should foster widespread adoption of the system. Yamashita stars as a young doctor-in-training, working under the guidance of an experienced "flight doctor" (Toshiro Yanagiba). Some scenes will be filmed with a real helicopter, adding to the show's tension.

Holiday holiday holiday!

Starting from Saturday to Tuesday, i'll be having 4 days of break! Finally i need not have to wake up damn early in the morning. With these precious few days, i've already prepared quite alot of doramas/variety shows to enterain me. This season, there are quite alot of quality dorama that interest me and so i think im watching quite alot of them. I'll just provide the synopsis of the doramas that i'll be watching. However reviews and rating will not be included since the dorama is still airing. Perhaps i'll edit the review only after the doramas ended.

As for my Japanese class, finally the intermediate class 1 had commence on the Saturday. A better class as compared to the previous one imo. Overall i totally get what the sensei was teaching and in the process there's also some jokes around here and there. However this time there will be 2 exams instead of 1. One middle-term exam and the other the final exam. Omoshiroi ne.

Last Friends

Last Friends tackles issues that afflict the current generation. Michiru's mother has brought a man back to their home and she is bullied at her workplace where she works as a beauty parlour assistant. She starts cohabiting with her boyfriend, a good young man who works at the Child Welfare Division and the only person who can give her emotional support, but ends up the victim of domestic violence and becomes fearful of love. The boyishly charming Ruka was a classmate of Michiru's in junior high school. She has performed brilliantly as a motocross racer and aims to win the national championship, but as the story progresses, a deep worry that she can neither confide in her parents or close friends grows evident. Takeru is a hair and makeup artist acquainted with Ruka. He is a good confidant to females due to his kindness and perceptiveness, and finds himself attracted to Ruka but has a phobia of sex as a result of a past trauma. The three of them become house mates and through their associations with others, gain the capacity to be positive about life.

Hachi-One Diver

Sugata Kentaro is a former professional player of a Japanese chess-like board game known as shogi. (The manga's title comes from the 81 squares on a shogi board.) After leaving the pro circuit, Sugata enters the world of "Shinkenshi" ("true sword-masters"), or players who gamble on shogi and other board games like go and mah-jong. He meets his match in Nakashizu Soyo, a female Shinkenshi who happens to be a part-time maid in Akihabara.

Gokusen 3

The return of the story of a young, idealistic teacher who enters the high school with hopes of making a difference in the students' lives. So what can the 4th generation heir of the Ooedo Group affect the school as well as her student? The 3rd season of gokusen.

CHANGE

The story begins with the deaths of ruling party's Fukuoka legislator and his eldest son, his heir apparent, in an accident. It is decided that a by-election will be held, and Kanbayashi Masaichi, the leader of the ruling party, and secretary Miyama Rika conceive the idea of fielding the second son, Asakura Keita, who had been renounced by his father.

After Keita graduated from senior high school, he went on to a university in Nagano because he wanted to live in a place with beautiful stars, and eventually became an elementary school teacher over there. Well-liked by children and satisfied with his beloved star gazing, Keita has no interest in the world of politics. However, at Rika's persuasion and the pressure of his family, he reluctantly decides to announce his candidacy.

Upon returning to Fukuoka, Keita is given a hearty welcome by supporters. The election strategist, Nirasawa Katsutoshi, arrives there. He is guided by the notion "election is the only permitted legal war" and begins Keita's election campaign.

As for the jpop news, i'll like to introduce to you Ayaka's new singles, which is also the theme song for the dorama, Zettai Kareshi.

Okaeri

Ayaka

Like i have said, Okaeri is used as the theme song for the drama series, Zettai Kareshi. Ayaka was asked by the manga artist of Zettai Kareshi to create a theme song. So she read the whole series, then wrote the song with her music producer. First press contains a special photo card.

P.S: You can also hear it playing on this site right now with this post being the latest.

Another singles which i would urge everyone to support is coming from our Aragaki Yui. Not only can she act, she can sing well too! Please support her! Onegai!

The Final Year

Basically i've reach the last year of my poly. I'm actually hoping for it to pass by at a much faster rate. I'm already sick of catching up with the one whom started together at the same starting line. Life is just full of changes and the unknown state of future can be so scary. Monday and Wednesday are quite easy to pass by since my timetable isn't that packed. As for Thursday and Friday, i'm not sure if i'm suppose to hate it or love it. It is a damn 8-5pm for both days as it's suppose to be our final year project(fyp). Since there's no supervision from our teacher-in-charge, therefore it's actually up to us if we wanna do or slack. The only interesting part of the project is that we are suppose to do a web design project for one of the bird industry.

Alright moving on... i only picked up one dorama for the last season as there isn't any other doramas that can interest me in watching. So i'll give you my review below. As for this season, i've already had a few doramas that i'm intending to watch, such as CHANGE, Last Friends and maybe Hokaben. Finally a dorama with kimura-san. Been waiting long since Karei no Ichizoku.

Bara no Nai Hanaya

Shiomi Eiji is forced to become a single father when his girlfriend passes away while giving birth to their daughter, Shizuku. Desolate after the loss of the woman he loved, Eiji has little time or desire to even consider remarrying, working part-time jobs just to make ends meet. The one thing that gives meaning and joy to his life is Shizuku, but even that begins to trouble him when Shizuku begins acting strange, hiding her face by putting a cloth over her head when around other people.

One day after opening his flower shop, Eiji comes across a blind woman standing by the door, taking shelter from the rain. When he invites her to come inside the shop, she at first refuses, but later gives in to Eiji's kindness. They become intimate friends and she slowly grows to depend on Eiji's sincerity and goodheartedness. After rescuing her a following evening when she walks into the street and is nearly struck by traffic, Eiji himself inexplicably discovers the cold of winter that has saddled his heart all these years slowly melting away...

My Rating: 7/10

My Comment: A very warm and light hearted romance drama. I really like the Eiji-san character. A soft-spoken and thoughtful for others person. It's kind of hard to find someone like that in reality nowadays imo. A good drama for the season.

!~#*#~!!~#*#~!!~#*#~!

Now on to the Jpop... Morning Musume has release their 36th singles - Resonant Blue. Actually i've stop being supportive towards their new songs since the addition of the two foreign members. But this particular song really catches me, and basically the two foreign members hardly get their lines and appearance on the main pv. So i kind of like this one.

Reasonable Blue [Regular Edition]

Morning Musume

Another one that caught my attention was when i visited CD-Japan. They have the Hikki's latest album on their main page and the cover for the album attracted me. She looks amazingly gorgeous in it. Just go to the site and click the enlarge version. I can just stare at it for hours xD Yeah i'm sick! Oh i've gotta say, it's not only the cover is good, the songs inside are as well brilliant. Songs like Flavour of Life, Prisoner of Love and Boku wa Kuma. You just have to listen to that.

My life?

A little confuse with my life right now. Seriously, i should start planning now. I'm in my 7 weeks holiday now. Reluctant to find any temp work, lazing around all day long. Sometimes i felt so useless yet i'm doing nothing about it. Argh.

First Kiss

A bitter-sweet and uplifting comedy drama about a young girl Mio and her brother Kazuki. To treat her illness overseas, Mio has been living away from her older brother Kazuki for the past ten years. After learning about the upcoming surgery, which she has only a fifty percent chance of survival, Mio decides to fly back to Japan to spend time with Kazuki. Looking forward to seeing his sweet younger sister, Kazuki anxiously awaits Mio's return in Japan. However, their reunion is nothing but full of surprises as Mio has transformed from the innocent sickly girl Kazuki remembers from ten years ago into a sassy woman with an attitude. Kazuki has difficulty dealing with his wickedly selfish younger sister, but soon learns about the truth of her medical condition and has a change of heart.

My Rating: 7/10

My Comment: A very light-hearted dorama. Inoue Mao is simply amazing. You'll get totally attracted to her which will make u watch from the beginning till the last episode. A good dorama i'll say.

Dream Again

This original series stars Takashi Sorimachi as the pro baseball player Shunsuke Ogi, who is forced to retire after a shoulder injury. He continues to train in hope of returning to the game, but a sudden accident leads to his death. God decides to give him a second chance, placing his soul into the body of another man - a wealthy fund company manager - but adjusting to his new life isn't easy...

My Rating: 7/10

My Comment: Not really considered a tearjerker drama but there are quite alot of touching scenes here and there that could cost you tears. However i only decided to watch this dorama is because Kato Ai is starring in it xD. Also the ost in this drama is excellent. Very well chosen which tends to amplify one's emotion. An emotional love dorama for those who like.

P.S: The current song you are hearing on this site is the theme song for 'Dream Again'.

CNY approaching as well as final exams

CNY approaching in about a week time, but the excitment is cover away by the worried feeling of the exams right after CNY. In the last post i stated that i ordered the Masami calender. The order dragged till January before Yesasia decided to inform me of their incapability to obtain the stuff i want. It makes me so piss off since they postpone the shipping date twice and had already past half of the January. In the end i tried to get it from CDJapan and it delieverd to me 2-3 days later. Anyway i'm quit disappointed with the calander. Not what i have expected from the start.

I've only manage to pick up one Jdorama during this time so i'll do the review has usual.

Galileo ガリレオ

In "Galileo," Fukuyama Masaharu plays a genius physicist and university associate professor, Yukawa Manabu, who solves difficult mysteries. Affectionately known as Tantei Galileo ("Detective Galileo"), Yukawa is brilliant, an all-round sportsman, tall and handsome but eccentric. Yukawa's partner is a rookie cop, Utsumi Kaoru (Shibasaki Kou), a hot-blooded woman with a strong sense of justice.

My Rating: 9/10

My Comment: Very nice dorama i've seen for some time. One episode will lead you addicted to the next and so on until the last. With Fukuyama Masaharu and Shibasaki Kou, this dorama will never go wrong. Despite hearing some negative news and comments of Shibasaki Kou during filming time, i have to say her acting is superb. In all, a great dorama you won't want to miss for the season.

Christmas Approaching

みんなさん　こんにちわ！Christmas is finally approaching and that also mean the year is coming to an end soon. So recall back what you have done for the past 12 months, what have you done? Any regrets? Any worthy things you've did? Well, it all over afterall and a brand new year awaits.

This year, rather than placing my order for the Morning Musume 2008 calender, i decided to go with Nagasawa Masami calender. I ordered it alittle too late and therefore most probably i'll only be able to get it after the new year.

The one on the left is what i'll be getting though i also fancy the desktop calender of Masami on the right.

Lost in myself?

Didn't actually pick up much dorama since my last post due to my addiction to some games which left me no time to watch. I'm still trying to pick up bit by bit so that i won't miss out some good dorama such as Galileo & Hatachi no Koibito.

My old phone had spoilt and so i got myself a new phone. More function this time and the design are pretty ok.

Couldn't give you any sypnosis for any dorama since i ain't watching/finsh watching any, so i'll just end here. Lastly, Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year!

Looking for revenge, she starts out as a hostess with the goal of rising to become the "empress" of the Osaka nightlife scene. Matsuda Shota plays a member of the underworld who becomes Ayaka's ally by assisting her to reach her goal.

My Rating: 7/10

My Comment: Imo, a good drama. It has an interesting story line that kept me glued till the end.

Hotaru no Hikari

Hotaru works for a famous interior design company. It's a glamorous job but Hotaru's private life is totally the opposite of glamorous. She lives alone, and when she isn't working she's mostly lazing about her rented house in training wear. She's not interested in men. In fact, she isn't interested in anything. "I'd rather lay around than fool around," is her motto.

Her landlord is a bar owner, and one day his son, who has just separated from his wife, comes to inspect the rental property, not knowing that someone is living there. He is shocked at the mess, but not as shocked as Hotaru. He turns out to be her boss, Takano.

My Rating: 7/10

My Comment: A very relax drama for me. Typical working life as well as some love problem. I enjoy watching it.

Hanazakari no Kimitachi e

The drama is based on the popular manga of the same name by Nakajo Hisaya, which has already been dramatized in Taiwan. Horikita plays the protagonist Ashiya Mizuki, a Japanese girl in the U.S. who one day sees the young athlete Sano Izumi (Oguri) compete in the high jump on television. She begins to idolize him, and decides to move to Japan to attend the same school as him. However, Izumi goes to an all-boys school, so Mizuki disguises herself as a boy to achieve her dream of being with her idol.

My Rating: 6/10

My Comment: This was actually produced after the taiwanese version came out which turn out to be quite popular. I didn't watch much of the taiwanese version. I know people have been saying good for it but i'm still standing for the japanese version because:
- Japanese version isn't draggy as compared to the taiwanese ver.
- Horikita Maki is in the drama. =P

お誕生日おめてとう！！！

Takahashi Ai (高橋愛, born September 14, 1986) is a fifth generation member and the current leader of Morning Musume. Takahashi was selected from Love Audition 21 to join Morning Musume as a fifth generation member on August 26, 2001 and later on became one of the main vocalist in the group. Earlier on, Takahashi's strong Fukui accent frequently drew comments from television interviewers and other Hello! Project members. She has gradually grown out of it since she moved to Tokyo and took up professional voice training. She finally became the new leader on June 1, 2007 after UFA made a sudden announcement that Fujimoto Miki has "resigned" from Morning Musume. Hereby, i wish her success in her leadership.

Forever my ichiban favourite member, Takahashi Ai

No life, Same Routine

It has been one month since my holiday. I did find myself a job. I have already got myself a new external hdd. ^^ So now i'm working on getting a TV with DVD player in my room. Hardly able to watch any new jdorama sadly. Though i'll still be able to do some reviews below.

Unfortunately, they have no choice but to swap lives, pretending to be each other at school and work.

My Rating: 6/10

My Comment: This isn't your first time watching character soul swap type drama/movie i believe so i don't think it is something new. However this dorama is funny at times and Aragaki cuteness would already worth the watch.

[Jmovie]Sinking of Japan

Based on a blockbuster 1973 novel by Sakyo Komatsu, it follows the horrible events that occur when it is revealed that the island nation of Japan is sinking into the ocean. Earthquakes, tidal waves and volcanic eruptions roil the country, leaving millions dead and stranded. Japan's only hope lies with one plan and one man.

My Rating: 6/10

My Comment: I watched 'The Day After Tomorrow' not long ago before watching 'Sinking of Japan'. That's why i felt abit disappointed with it. It isn't as magnificant as TDAT and the climax of the movie did not reach the highest imo as compared to TDAT.

Exam Period

Currently it is the exam period for me. I think i have to tried to get myself tied down to the books or i'll be in dead meat for this exam. xD After the exam, it will be an almost 2 months break for me. However i will most probably be spending half of this holiday working as a part-timer. Gotta find a part-time job soon. Too much stuff to be deal with in my to-buy list.

Happy Birthday Nacchi!! <3

Abe was one of the first members of the group chosen in 1997. She was also the lead girl for many of the singles especially before Maki Goto joined. Abe also has done quite a bit of acting in television dramas. She was also the lead of Morning Musume Sakuragumi until her graduation at the end of the Hello! Project Winter tour on January 25, 2004.

At one time, Abe was the most popular member of Morning Musume, and many songs featured her as a lead singer. However, it wasn't until the summer of 2003 that Abe officially went solo. She graduated not too long after that, in the early winter of 2004, to continue on with her solo career.

お　たんじょうび　おめでとう！！！

Anyway, new doramas i've watch since the last entry i posted. I'll do a summaries/reviews on it below. So less talking more work...

Good Luck!!

Having achieved his life-long dream of being a pilot, Hajime is first officer on an international jetliner and is now working to become a captain. He can't seem to please Captain Kouda, who has become an exacting taskmaster since an air incident many years ago. To complicate matters, he begins a relationship with stubborn and straight-talking mechanic, Ayumi, whose parents died many years ago in the plane crash for which Captain Kouda feels he is responsible. What follows is a story of 21st century love, dreams, and passion.

My Rating: 10/10

My Comment: Yes, your eyes is not playing a trick on you. I did give this dorama a full mark. This dorama left me a great impact. For a while after finishing this dorama, i was not able to keep myself watching another dorama perhaps because i couldn't find one that can be as great as this. I truly love this dorama and it really deserve that high viewership ratings of 30.41% in Japan.

Pride

Kimura Takuya is the captain and star player of an ice hockey team, who is greatly respected by his teammates. For him, hockey is serious business that fully occupies his mind, while he treats romance as if it were a game.

Takeuchi Yuko is a typical OL (office lady), and is waiting for her boyfriend to return from studying architecture abroad. At this point in time however, he shows no sign of coming back. One day, Yuko's friends who are determined to find her a new boyfriend, invite her to watch an ice hockey game. There she sees Kimura for the first time.

After the game, Yuko and her friends join the players for a party celebrating their victory. Yuko, however, is not so excited to be there. When she leaves the party, she bumps into Kimura, who was slightly injured from a fight. They exchange e-mail addresses and part.

The sparks of mutual attraction are ignited in a second encounter between Yuko and Kimura, arranged with the help of her friends shortly after a party.

Sato Koichi has come as a replacement for the team's coach who has been hospitalized. Kimura has a lot of respect for the hospitalized coach. Unfortunately though, he can't stand Sato's way of doing things. Bringing with him a lot of coaching experience from overseas, Sato criticizes the former coach's strategies. Whenever Kimura and Sato see each other, they get into a quarrel; consequently influencing Kimura's behavior during games.

Seeing that his game ended in a brawl, Yuko visits Kimura to comfort him. But he tells her that she is being too friendly with him.

Yuko is hurt, Kimura is irritated, and his teammate Sakaguchi can't stand seeing Kimura like this...

My Rating: 7/10

My Comment: Basically, you can expect a good doramas with Kimura-san in it. This dorama was actually shown on the local tv twice, but i didn't watch it until now.

My Boss My Hero

Sakaki "Tornado" Makio (Nagase Tomoya) is a tough 27-year-old high school drop-out. By academic standards, he's pretty dumb. His father decides to force Makio to return to high school to receive his diploma and he asks an old friend who happens to be the principal (Iwaki Koichi) of a nearby school to admit Makio. If Makio doesn't graduate, the position of boss will be given to his younger brother Mikio (Kikawada Masaya).

Furthermore, he must pose as a 17-year-old during school hours and in the presence of any classmates or teachers outside of school. If his cover is blown, it would be the end of his high school career as well as his hopes to become boss. Things start out rough and tough as Makio's violent temper is tested. As the lessons and days go by he learns there is much more to school than just tests and studying.

My Rating: 7/10

My Comment: This dorama is interesting. I like to see how Makio actually slowly starting to like school and learn something new day by day. Gakkisan acting is also worth mentioning in this dorama too.

[Jmovie] Umizaru - The First Movie

A disparate group of 14 young Japan Coast Guard officers are thrown together to spend 50 days of the hardest days of their lives training to become elite rescue divers. Until then, the trainees are "Umizaru" (Umizaru means sea monkies), as they are called by the local community for their wild drinking and carousing in town. The bonds of trust and friendship forged under the intense demands and circumstances of the profession form the foundation of a highly compelling and realistically portrayed human drama.

My Rating: 8/10

My Comment: Touching movie. Actually i watched Umizaru 2 before this first one. (Reviews on 'Umizaru 2' can be found some entries back) In my opinion U2 is much better than the first. However if you are consider in watching all these Umizaru, please start with the first movie, then the dorama series and lastly the movie 2 as this is how the story goes in order.

[Jmovie] Battle Royale

The turn of the century. Japan is on the brink of collapse. Fearing rising indiscipline and rebellion amongst the youth of the nation, authorities pass the Millennium Educational Reform Act, allowing the implementation of the ‘Battle Royale’ programme: classes of 14 and 15 year-olds are chosen at random and sent to a remote island where they are given weapons and three days to kill one another, until the sole survivor emerges as the winner…

My Rating: 6/10

My Comment: *Warning* This dorama is not suitable for children due to it cruel and violent scene.

Moving On

Took my Japanese E1 test on Sunday, and the results were out yesterday. For this test, those score below 60 will have to retake again while the rest could move on to the next level. As for myself, i managed to scored an 8/10 for my oral and 83/100 in my written. I was actually hoping for a 90+ for the written, therefore it was kinda a disappointment. Nonetheless, my friend and i will be moving on to E2! Omedetou!!!

Like i promise in my last entry, i'll be doing a review/sypnosis on the 2 dorama, Proposal Daisakusen and Joudan Janai!. Currently i'm totally attracted to Nagasawa Masami, 長澤まさみ. <3 I've already seen her in doramas/movies like dragonzakura, Sekai no chuushin de, ai wo sakebu and proposal daisakusen. Most probably i'm gonna watch more of her work after i complete the proposal daisakusen series. She's just so gorgeous!

Proposal Daisakusen

Yamashita Tomohisa and Nagasawa Masami play a young man and woman who have been friends since elementary school. Yamashita's character, Iwase Ken, is obstinate and unskilled in love, but he fell long ago for the lively and cheerful woman, Yoshida Rei, played by Nagasawa. But Rei is about to get married to another man. While Ken and other friends from high-school attend the wedding ceremony, a fairy appears and sends Ken back in time, giving him a second chance to win the girl he loves.

My Rating: 9/10

My Comment: This is a very wonderful dorama. The plot is very creative and unique. Both the male and female lead really did a good job in their acting. Those who wanna take a break from tearsjerking romance dorama can try this lighthearted romance dorama. Highly recommended!

My Goodies: *NEW Section* From now on you might be seeing this section around this blog. ^^ In Proposal Daisakusen Ep 2 and 8, there is a song by Mongol800 - 小さな恋のうた. For those who like it, you can download it here.

Joudan Janai!

A home comedy in which Oda Yuji will play a 40-year-old man who marries the 20-year-old woman, Ueno Juri. He will find out that his wife's mother is his former lover. Eventually the mother will live with couple and the man will start on a workplace dominated by women.

My Rating: 6/10

My Comment: A slightly above average dorama. Those who have much time and don't know how to spend it, why not try this drama.

Last Christmas

Haruki Kenji is the manager of the Winter Sports section of a large sporting goods company. On a ski trip in New Zealand with his friend Shintani Goro (who is also his boss) and Shintani's new secretary, Aoi Yuki. Upon returning to Japan he finds that he has a new neighbor in the apartment next to his. It is Aoi.

While watching the movers he sees a photograph drop from new girl's luggage. Looking at the photo he sees it is a picture of a group from a female bicycle gang and upon looking closer he sees it is a picture of Aoi. Haruki finds her putting on a façade and fooling everyone at work with her nice girl persona. But at home she is anything but nice, dating lots of men and using them to get what she wants.

This continues until one day Aoi comes home drunk and without her keys. Kenji lets her into her room via the door connecting their apartments. Aoi accidentally drops a video tape into Haruki's apartment. When he discovers the tape he watches it. On it Aoi has recorded a message to herself. Seeing this serious message, Haruki begins to view Aoi in a completely different light.

My Rating: 8/10

My Comment: Yes, i know that this is an old dorama. This dorama was aired in 2004 in Japan but only until recently it was aired locally. So i manage to watch it on TV. This was a classic dorama by Oda Yuji and the rating for each episode were high. It has an average viewship rating of 21.5%. Another lighthearted romance for those who haven't have a chance to watch this.

Happy times usually passed fast.

School had already started this week and finally the weekend is approaching. Sad to say, I didn't manage to watch much jdorama during the last 2 weeks holiday due to some games commitment XD

My Japanese class is doing well too and i really enjoy it. 2 more lesson left and if i manage to pass the final test, i'll be moving on to elementary 2. The final test consist of a written test which last 45mins and an oral test which i don't know how it will be conducted. kowaii ne.

I only manage to watched 1 jmovie during the 2 weeks break. This jmovie was shown on Year 2004 and i'm sure most of us should be quite familiar with this movie since it was a big hit back then.

Sekai no Chuushin de, Ai wo Sakebu

Crying out love, in the center of the world

"I thought I might be using a lifetime's happiness in a moment. I was that happy and she was that beautiful." A young boy stands on the red earth of Australia under its blue sky. It is 17-year-old Sakutaro Matsumoto. His time with the girl comes back to him. The colored sand runs through his hands and a tear appears on his cheek. He wakes up. It's 2004 and he is 34 years old and in Japan. He thinks "I have been in a world without her for 17 years." Returning home to see his old high school for the last time before it is demolished, Saku confronts anew the loss of the love of his life, Aki, to leukemia 17 years ago. Now a medical researcher at graduate school, he has been living as if half of him died with her since then. Based on the bestselling novel that sold over 3 million copies, the past and present come together in this love story that is both pure and sad.

My Rating: 7/10

My Comment: I didn't give this jmovie an extremely high rating because actually i had a very high expectation of this movie before i watched it. Ichi Rittoru No Namida was more harder for me to handle. I didn't even cry for Sekachuu.

Right now i've cut down my gaming time and therefore i regain back the time i used to have for jdoramas. I'm currently watching Proposal Daisakusen by Yamapi & Nagasawa Masami as well as Joudan Janai! by Ueno Juri. I'll do a summary/review for these two the next time i post.

I'm currently taking up jap langauge class and right until now, i'm enjoying it. I hope i'll be able to speak, write and read japanese well soon. ^^

Alright time to introduce some jdorama i've watch or am currently watching for those who would like to see which dorama they might be interested in watching.

Nodame Cantabile

Based on the hit comic book by Tomoko Ninomiya, this is a fun-filled quirky romantic story of 2 very opposite people.

Megumi Noda, or “Nodame” is a piano student at Momogaoka College of Music. An extremely talented pianist who wants to be a kindergarten teacher, she prefers playing by ear rather than reading the music score. She is messy and disorganized, takes baths several days apart and loves to eat, sometimes stealing her friend’s lunchbox when it is filled with delicacies.

Shinichi Chiaki, is Momogaoka’s top student. Born into a musical family, he is talented in piano and violin and has secret ambitions to become a conductor. An arrogant multi-lingual perfectionist who once lived abroad in the music capitals of the world as a young boy, he feels mired in Japan because of a childhood phobia.

They meet by accident. Nodame quickly falls in love, but it takes much longer for Chiaki to even begin to appreciate Nodame’s unusual qualities. Their relationship causes them both to develop and grow. Because of Nodame, Chiaki transfers into the Conductor Division, leads a student orchestra and begins to have a broader appreciation of people's musical abilities. Because of Chiaki, Nodame faces her fears and enters a piano competition. Opportunities open up as both begin taking risks, stretching themselves far more than they ever thought possible.

Happy Birthday Yossie

Happy 22nd Birthday Yossie!!! Yoshizawa became a member of the Hello! Project group Morning Musume in 2000 as a member of the fourth generation, and made her debut in the group's tenth single "Happy Summer Wedding". She has often been perceived as the tomboyish member of the group, with her voice, manners and hobbies.

Yoshizawa is scheduled to graduate from Morning Musume after the band's last performance in the ~Sexy 8 Beat~ Spring Tour, which will take place in Saitama Super Arena in Hitomi's hometown. According to several news sources,[2] Producer Tsunku and Yoshizawa herself,[3] she will enter a solo career of her own and possibly even form a new group within the Hello! Project franchise world. Therefore i wish her all the best in her career after graduating from Morning Musume.

New school term commence next week. Damn.. i'll miss this long break. Still can't get myself ready for the new semseter >.<

I've finish another awesome dorama which i would really like to recommend. Right now i'm watching Nodame Cantabile and i'm totally addicted to this series!

Attention Please

Losing her mother at a young age, Misaki Yoko (Ueto Aya) was raised amongst three brothers. Yoko is a slightly boyish girl who is bullheaded and hates dishonesty. Ever since she was young, she enjoyed the company of boys over girls. She starts a band with four of her boy friends and becomes the lead singer. Then one day, one of the members of the band, Tsukasa, gets a job at a bank in Tokyo. Due to Tsukasa leaving town, the band breaks up and though Yoko finds herself lonely, she puts on a strong act in front of Tsukasa. She can't tell Tsukasa how she truly feels for him. On the day Tsukasa leaves for Tokyo, Yoko goes along with the band members to the airport to see him off. The guys get excited when they see some cabin crew ladies and Yoko has no idea why. She reminds them that even she can wear a uniform, but the guys only make fun of her. That's when Tsukasa tells Yoko he wonders what she'd look like dressed in uniform. This is when Yoko decides she wants to work as a Cabin Attendant.

My Rating: 9/10

My Comment: Awesome dorama by Aya Ueto! Her character was really funny and cute which really make the entire show interesting. If you haven't yet watch this, please put this in your to watch list! xD

Shocker! Morning Musume to get two new members. Chinese girls!

At the same time as the 8th gen auditions in Japan, there was another audition in Beijing, China. The result of that was Junjun. Linlin was recommended to Tsunku by a friend and joined the H!P eggs. After seeing her perform at concerts, he was impressed by her abilities. Tsunku says that these two will be key for their planned expansion into Asia for their 10th anniversary year.

The other members were told the news on March 14th. Yoshizawa says, "It was really sudden, so I was surprised. Honestly, I still don't get what the hell is going on." At the end of the article it's said that it's highly likely that there will be another member added from other countries in Asia, like Korea.

The two new members will appear on Hello! Morning for the first time on March 18th.

They will be on Yossi's graduation concert which will be held on May 6th, but they won't take part in the recording for the new single which will release on april 25th.

******

Very disappointed! This is not the first time i'm disappointed with Tsunku decision, but this one really hit me hard! Morning Musume was known as the daughters of Japan, is what can be considered to be a national idol unit of Japan. Therefore by injecting two chinese girl into the group it defeat the purpose of it very own concept. Even though Tsunku is trying to make Morning Musume step out and expand it music industry, i still think it is a ridiculous move.

I'm not sure which direction Morning Musume will take in the future, but as long as these two chinese girl are there, i won't be able to give my support for Morning Musume. Sadly, i just can't accept it.

******

Alright that's it for the unpleasant news, let us move on... New semester is starting soon, and i have actually spent this whole two months break rotting at home on my PC lol. New doramas! Yay, finished watching some of them, so i'll be giving you the sypnosis below.

Tatta Hitotsu no Koi

A story of pure love between the son of a man who runs a ship repair factory beset with financial troubles and the well-bred daughter of a national jewelry chain store owner. The backdrop of the story is Yokohama.

If you feel you have lost the purity of your soul by watching stories about womanizers seducing impudent women, or by carrying out calculated maneuvers in your own love life, here is a story for you. A boy and a girl from highly different social backgrounds meet and fall in love. Their love, of course, faces a lot of obstacles. The setting is in Yokohama, a modern port city known for its romantic atmosphere. Hiroto Kanzaki (Kazuya Kamenashi) works hard every day and night for the survival of a small ship repair factory (inherited from his father) as well as the survival of his mother and younger brother, who is suffering from health problems. Living such underprivileged life, Hiroto has forgotten how to smile. In contrast to him, Nao (Haruka Ayase) is the daughter of a popular jewelry shop owner in a fashionable street in Yokohama. She attends a prestigious exclusive women's college and grew up cheerful and blessed with affluent love. From the moment Hiroto meets her, his closed mind slowly opens up to Nao, who is so innocent that she utters whatever she thinks. Their three close friends, who are also 20 years old's, play an important role in their developing relationship.

My Rating: 7/10

My Comment: The scriptwriter is Eriko Kitagawa, who earned the nickname "The Goddess of Love Stories." This classic love story enables those who are in the same generation to feel empathy, or be envious of the characters' lives; and the rest, who were once 20 years old's, to reminisce about their own "Love of My Life."

********

Teppan Shoujo Akane!!

Kagura Akane (Horikita Maki) is the only daughter of a family who runs a teppanyaki place in downtown Tokyo. Akane had always been proud of her father Tetsuma, who was called the “No.1 teppanyaki chef in Japan.” Growing up in such an environment, she naturally acquired “teppanyaki skills.” However, when her mother died of illness, her father lost his energy to work and disappeared. Since then, Akane has managed and protected the restaurant all by herself. One day, out of the blue, she is visited by Erena (Katase Nana), the rich daughter of a major food company, who orders Akane to move out at once because her father had borrowed money against his restaurant. Though feeling disappointed, Akane makes up her mind to close the store. But when her father’s friend, Kurogane (Jinnai Takanori), shows her “Ittetsu,” a grilling plate that Akane’s father cherished, it reignites her passion towards teppanyaki.

In order to protect the restaurant, she embarks on a journey with Shinta (Tsukamoto Takashi) to search for her father, but wherever she goes, she ends up getting involved in culinary battles. "--TBS"

My Rating: 5/10

My Comment: Doesn't really showcase the cooking part. Almost the same method used on every culinary battles with the help of CG. Therefore tend to make the show kind of boring. Only good part is that maki-san is in it =P

As we enter the New Year, we should all think about keeping healthy.

Well, today there is a notification regarding Morning Musume's Yoshizawa Hitomi.
In April 2000 she joined as a fourth generation member, and in May 2007 she will graduate from Morning Musume. The last day of Concert tour 2007 spring (~SEXY 8 BEAT~) will be her last day as a member of Morning Musume.

Her style in Morning Musume for 7 years has been based on a characteristic of funky singing ability, the ability to use rhythm in dance, (etc). Utilizing those, in Morning Musume, her unique character was shown.
This agenda was carried out successfully, as she had enough skill to carry it out.
You might think this is a "prideful graduation".
We expect that she can extend her personality with graduation from Morning Musume.
And, that personality is a new breath of fresh air to H!P.

After her graduation, we would like to challenge her with various chances such as solo opportunities as well as new unit opportunities.

After her graduation, the new leader will be Fujimoto Miki, subleader Takahashi Ai.

For now, we're focusing on making a hit out of Morning Musume's concert tour for this spring. Everyone's performances are our top priority, so please continue to support us.

Another year has passed. Let us all move on to the new year, 2007! May the new year be more fun and fulfilling than the previous year. Minna, Happy New Year!

Yatta! I have completed another 2 series of jdorama before school reopen. I'm really looking forward to watch more new series. Meanwhile here are the 2 which i've completed watching. Dozo.

Ichi Rittoru no Namida

This beautifully moving drama is based on the real-life struggles of a 15-year-old girl named Aya who suffered from an incurable disease, but lived life to the fullest until her death at 25.

15-year-old Ikeuchi Aya was an ordinary girl, the daughter of a family who works at a tofu shop, and a soon-to-be high schooler. However, odd things have been happening to Aya lately. She has been falling down often and walks strange. Her mother, Shioka, takes Aya to see the doctor, and he informs Shioka that Aya has spinocerebellar degeneration - a terrible disease where the cerebellum of the brain gradually deteriorates to the point where the victim cannot walk, speak, write, or eat. A cruel disease, as it does not affect the mind in the least. How will Aya react when told about her disease? And how will Aya live from now on?

My Comment: An absolute tearjerker! Made me cry even more than Dragon Zakura. A must see for those who like sad dramas.

Sh15uya

The plot concerns a group of fifteen-year-olds. The story centers on a boy named Tsuyoshi (at least he thinks he's Tsuyoshi) trying to recover his memories and find a way out of Shibuya. But standing in the way is the system set in place to keep Shibuya as is. One entity, known as "Peace" locks on to any of the fifteen year olds when they become 'broken' and kills them. Shortly the "fixed" children are resurrected with new names and new personalities, and everyone forgets the old version. Except Tsuyoshi and Ema, that is. Ema, Tsuyoshi's only ally, is different from the others. She is the only one--until Tsuyoshi appears--who remembers the dead. She also has the ability to "merge" into a battle suit and with that suit is the only one able to kill "Peace".

My Comment: Actually i was going to give this dorama 6/10 throughout watching. However in the end i decided to give it a 5 due to the abrupt ending. Anyway, this dorama is really hard to understand due to it complex plot and you'll only slowly understand as the show goes by.

Argh, i should have decided to order my Morning Musume 2007 Calender earlier. It has already been a week and it still have not arrived. Most likely there's alittle delay since it's new year and therefore there is no one working on a public holiday. I'll just wait and see.

I am still too lazy to work on the new skin for my blog. Hopefully i can get myself to complete it within the next week.

Well, as mention in the previous post, today 23rd of December is our Kamei Eri 18th Birthday! O tanjobi omedetou!

Debut as a 6th Gen member, Eri was known as one of the shy member among the others. Seen by many as weird, because of her many strange interests such as liking small spaces and standing in corners, she has become a favorite among many people. I hope that she will still be who she is, being herself and bring more laughter to us xD

Recently due to the school term break, i was able to watch quite a decent number of Jdoramas. I'll briefly introduce some of them if you might be interested.

Kurosagi

Kurosaki, aka Kurosagi (Yamashita Tomohisa) is a swindler who targets professional swindlers. He defrauds money and gives it to the victims; he never keeps it for himself. His father was once set up by a swindler and planned a family suicide. Kurosagi managed to save his life but lost his whole family.

The swindler was Katsuragi Toshio (Yamazaki Tsutomu) the mastermind of all crooks. Despite knowing what Toshio did to his father, Kurosagi buys information off of him to capture other swindlers.

Dragon Zakura

Sakuragi Kenji is a destitute lawyer and one-time member of a motorcyle gang trying to guide failing high school students with an average score of 36 into Japan's most prestigious educational institution, Tokyo University (Toudai).

"If you want to change your life, get into Toudai!"

For no other reason than Sakuragi's personal ambition, he has advertised his intention to produce 5 successful Toudai applicants from the students of a nearly bankrupt failure of a school.

"If you want to change your life, get into Toudai!" He will get them from this lowest of all schools into Japan's number one!!

Our protagonist, Sakuragi Kenji, played by Abe Hiroshi in his first role as a high school teacher, is a must see in this summer's new show. This third rate lawyer soon becomes the homeroom teacher for the special advanced class aiming for Toudai University entrance. Hasegawa Kyouko costars as english teacher and Sakuragi's opponent, and Yamashita Tomohisa from NEWS and Nagasawa Masami also appear in the role of students. This awaited original work and fascinating world view is brought to you from the popular serialized comic in Shuukan Morning (Kodansha) and has even been updated!

In addition to revealing essential test taking techniques for everyone who wants to know how to get into Toudai, Dragon Zakura will also teach the essentials of living one's life.

Nobuta wo Produce

Kiritani Shuji is the popular guy who gets along with everyone, from the jerks to the nerds to the just plain weird. He's the one that everyone can count on. However, what they don't know is that Shuji knows how predictable his classmates are and he plays off their predictability to his advantage. His day-to-day existence as "Shuji-kun" is just a facade he uses to play in the school popularity game. Truth be told, Shuji is bored.

The one person Shuji cannot stand is Kusano Akira. To Shuji, Akira is just plain annoying. He laughs, talks and acts funny. Nobody in class takes Akira seriously. Shuji can't stand the sight of Akira and it drives him nuts that Akira does whatever he wants despite Shuji's expressed dislike of him.

Shuji has a daily ritual of touching a certain willow tree for good luck. One day, he is startled to find out that his willow tree was uprooted and in its place, a freaky-looking girl telling him that some people took the tree somewhere else to be spotted. She told him that she was planning to hang herself from that tree. Scared, Shuji runs away.

Things heat up when a new student comes to school. Shuji is shocked to find out that the new student was the freaky girl he saw the day his willow tree disappeared. Her name is Kotani Nobuko, a girl who has no self confidence at all and is content at being made fun of and bullied in school.

Shuji and Akira come to an accord that in order to make use of their "youth" they will "produce" Nobuko as the next popular girl. One of the conditions, however, is that nobody should find out that they are working together as a team to make this concept possible.

Of course, there can be no protagonist without an antagonist. There is a mysterious girl in school jeopardizing the duo's plan to make Nobuko popular. The mystery continues to unfold.

Unveiled here is the story of true friendship between three unlikely candidates who would not have been friends if not given the special circumstances.

Term test is over and finally I can have my 2 weeks break. Not exactly 2 weeks though since I still have to go back to school for project. But at least I am able to slow my pace down and relax. As Christmas is approaching, therefore there is a new change of look for this festive season. ^^

Oh btw, I have already received my Morning Musume 31st Single 'Aruiteru' already. It came to me 2 weeks after the release. Well as least I got it now, though it came a little late. I had also ordered: SEXY BOY ~Soyokaze ni Yorisotte~ LE edition from Amazon.jp. Right now I'm waiting for my Morning Musume 7.5 Fuyu Fuyu Mini Album LE to be delivered to me. This will be my Christmas present that I bought for myself.

7.5 Fuyu Fuyu Mini Album Limited Edition

It seems like my H!P collection is increasing gradually. That's good news though =)

Went to Bugis yesterday with some friends. Just casually doing some window shopping. Took some pictures of the most precious Christmas tree ever. The 'Diamond Christmas Tree'.

As mention above, this Christmas tree is made up of diamonds.

I hope everyone will be looking forward to this coming festive season. Enjoy yourself! And lastly, do not forget our Kamei-san's birthday which is on the 23rd.

It's already 9.10pm here... I almost forgot something important. Today, 11th Nov is our yankee princess's 17th birthday! Happy birthday Reina!

Debuted as a 6th Gen member of Morning Musume, Tanaka provided the main vocals for the single Shabondama — making her one of the few members of Morning Musume who was able to lead on her debut single. This proved her singing ability despite having audtioned twice to be chosen for the group.

I'll like to wish you success in your career as well as your private life. Hope you don't get caught by the paparazzi again xD

Four days have passed and still no sign of my Aruiteru cd =( I do hope it will arrive soon. Today, I realise that my cousin actually just came back to Singapore after a week of honeymoon in Japan and she bought us some japanese cakes and snacks ^^v Argh.. i didn't know they went there or else i'll ask them to buy me some H!P stuffs back, so i could save the shipping fees... hehe.

Morning Musume 31st single [Aruiteru] OUT NOW!

From left, Aruiteru [w/ DVD, Limited Edition], Aruiteru [w/ 36pg Visual Book Limited Edition], Aruiteru [Regular Edition]

I have already preorder the 2nd limited edition singles and it's already in the shipping process. I hope it comes soon...

I decided to purchase the LE version with the visual book instead of the DVD is because normally there are people who is willing to rip their DVD and upload it for sharing. As for the book... yes there might be people who is willing to scan the pictures but at the very least, i can get to keep it as a book. ;)

Recently made myself a new forum siggy. No, it's not another Gakisan one. Let me present you:

Happy 18th Birthday Gakisan!!!

Here is an english translation of what Gakisan had wrote in the photo:

I'm finally 18 years old on October 20th

Waaa I don't really feel like i'm 18 already!! 18 to me used to mean that i would be accepted as a part of the adult society. But upon turning 18 myself, i still feel like i'm a kiddo.

Even after turning 18, i would like to spend this year having lots of fun and laughter with everyone. Please continue to support me from now on also!!

I'm feeling rather moody right now. Most probably it's due to the jdorama i've just completed watching. The title of the drama is called Summer Snow. Throughout the entire show i was expecting it to be more of cheerful or happy type drama, although there were some parts where it's kinda sad. However there was a drastic change in the last episode. Natsuo died in an accident and donated his heart to Yuki. Ahh.. that's so sad. I was expecting they would be together once Yuki undergo the heart transplant but didn't thought they would use Natsuo heart. T.T

Recently i've been into Jdorama. I managed to download one of my favourite jdorama of all time, Hero. Ahh, i couldn't remember when was the first time i watch this. It was telecast on channel 8 at that time, and i remembered i really enjoyed watching those. I've been trying to find this series for years but to no avail. But now i am finally able to rewatch this again and it feels sooo great. I really like the character Kohei Kuryu, played by Takuya Kimura. He's cool.

Still feeling moody after writing this off >.<

A Fresh Look

Wow, finally finish my blog design. I was inspired by someone's blog design and decided to work on mine. How's the new look? Not bad huh? lol =P Was planning on my new blog look last night and spent the whole morning today to work it out. Personally i think it look pretty cool and most importantly more meaningful than the old look. Tada, my Gakisan~ ahh so sweet. I will try to post more pictures from now on to make the blog more lively rather than those chunk of words.

Recently i made this banner below for my signature in jh!p forum:

I love doing such designings using photoshop or flash although i'm not really good in it. It's really fun and the sense of satisfaction when you saw the final product.

From now on as mention at the top, there will be another new section: 'Picture of The Moment' to go along with the usual 'Song i'm currently listening to'

2005-01-12T14:31:00.000+08:00

Been skipping lessons for 3 days already. I don't know why, I just can't get myself into the mood of studying. Keep having the urge to rush home. But once I reach home and sat down infront of the pc, I started feeling very uncomfortable, very boring, don't even have the mood to touch any games. I asked myself 'why skip school then?' But i couldn't get an answer...

This isn't the life i wanted to lead.... yet i really don't know what to do about it. I always had this wish... I wish time could be turned back, I believed i would really do better and live my life to the fullest if i'm given the chance to turn time back. Sweet moment always don't last long, Unhappiness always seems to past so slow.... I don't know why I started all this craps, I'll logoff now...

Quote of the day:
For every ending there is a new beginning.

Enrique Iglesias - Hero

Let me be your hero

Would you dance,
If I asked you to dance?
Would you run,
And never look back?
Would you cry,
If you saw me crying?
And would you save my soul, tonight?

Would you tremble,
If I touched your lips?
Would you laugh?
Oh please tell me this.
Now would you die,
For the one you love?
Hold me in your arms, tonight.

I can be your hero, baby.
I can kiss away the pain.
I will stand by you forever.
You can take my breath away.

Would you swear,
That you’ll always be mine?
Or would you lie?
Would you run and hide?
Am I in too deep?
Have I lost my mind?
I don’t care...
You’re here, tonight.

I can be your hero, baby.
I can kiss away the pain.
I will stand by you forever.
You can take my breath away.

Oh, I just wanna to hold you.
I just wanna to hold you.
Oh yeah.
Am I in too deep?
Have I lost my mind?
Well I don’t care...
You’re here, tonight.

I can be your hero, baby.
I can kiss away the pain.
I will stand by you forever.
You can take my breath away.

I can be your hero.
I can kiss away the pain.
And I will stand by you, forever.
You can take my breath away.
You can take my breath away.

I can be your hero.

Current Song Playing: Westlife - Swear It Again

Hi, It been a long time since i last came in to blog. It's already Year 2005 now. 2003 - 2004 had already become the past. Capturing some memories i had in Year 2003 - 04:

2003: I did had many nice memories during my secondary school times. I remember that we had to sit with another classmate according to the seating arrangment arrange by the class chairman. This pairing up system arrange by the chairman is to ensure that we don't chat with one another in class and can help each other out in academic. When i realised i am being pair up with YJ, we both were shocked! So are the others! He is my good friend, we talk we play we fight together =P How can we not create noise if we were being paired up. Omg, lol. I'm happy though LOL. As expected, lol we chat & play during lesson time. I remembered once, I was singing to myself in class, and my english teacher saw me and asked me not to talk to YJ. LOL. We both hold our laughter xD. Hmm... we named ourselves F2 as we both love to sing one of the F4 song at that time. Muhahaha... *puke* When Chinese New Year was around the corner, classes were asked to decorate the classroom. We had to stayed back to decorate the class T.T However, when everyone was busy hanging up decoration, there was one particular person ( that is YJ! ) who sat down at his seat, scribbling words on a piece of paper. Guess what was he writing? Love letter? Who knows LOL, care to share here YJ? Hehe... Both of us share common interest -> Besides basketball, we both like the colour SKYBLUE!! Yea LOL =D *cheers*

There is also another guy who needs to be mention here. He did take up quite an amount of spaces in my memories. He is YX. =D My sponsorer too lol. He sponsor me comics to read lolx. Because of him, I get to read alot more kinds of comics, really had to thank him. Not only that, because of the comics he lent, i landed up badly in my academic caused i read during lesson! Lol joking hor, not your fault lah =\. However, I personally think that he had to learn to control or hide his emotions sometimes, rather than fustrate it out when going out with friends. Because it create a tense atmosphere, which made it hard to break, ended up making the group very uneasy. Hmm.. talking about the memories i had with YX will definitely lead me to talk about the mooncake celebration we had in school. Aww... I went home very late that night =( Why? Because YX lor, hor? =\ But was fun that night though hehe. He also remind me of the movie, 'Pirates Of The Carribean' that we went to watch before the prelim 2. The reason we went to watch is.... erm... sorry, i can't say.

2004: We used to went to play Initial D in the morning at amk, also to find 'Ah Gim' to joke. 'Ah Gim' is a guy who work in the comics shop. He loves to joke with us, lol. However he had just went back to malaysia recently. YJ, YX, n me used to hangout during the time where we were waiting for the enrollment. We play basketball and badminton at Hougang CC too. We even travelled our way to Queensway to play basketball with YX fren. We set alot of challenges and titles which was really fun. 3pt, 2pt, abc blahblahblah... btw, i'm holding the 2pts title currently, muhahahaha. Oh well, I'm tired of typing now, will stopped here and continue next time bah.

A Little Note: Quitted playing Initial D already. Currently studying in a disgraceful school which I don't wanna talk... oops is will never talk about it eVeR. So don't ask me. I am disgust with the life i'm having right now, will try to get out of it and lead a life I wanted always....

Westlife - Swear It Again

I wanna know
Who ever told you I was letting go
Of the only joy that I have ever known
Girl, they're lying

Just look around
And all of the people that we used to know
Have just given up, they wanna let it go
But we're still trying

So you should know this love we share was never made to die
I'm glad we're on this one way street just you and I
Just you and I

Chorus:
I'm never gonna say goodbye
Cos I never wanna see you cry
I swore to you my love would remain
And I swear it all over again and I
I'm never gonna treat you bad
Cos I never wanna see you sad
I swore to share your joy and your pain
And I swear it all over again
All over again

Some people say
That everything has got its place in time
Even the day must give way to the night
But I'm not buying
Cos in your eyesI see a love that burns eternally
And if you see how beautiful you are to me
You'll know I'm not lying
Sure there'll be times we wanna say goodbye
But even if we try
There are something's in this life won't be denied
Won't be denied

Chorus

The more I know of you is the more I know I love you
And the more that I'm sure I want you forever and ever more
The more that you love me, the more that I know
Oh that I'm never gonna let you go
Gotta let you know that I

Chorus
