ohmygod again..;

... for a completely different reason.

Was in the GSC site trying to find out when The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus is coming out, when I see Tekken and King of Fighters due out in May/June 2010. I really wish I didn't read that.... or watched the trailers. It ruined all the games for me. Nothing good ever comes out of fighting games being made into movies. First, it was Mortal Kombat. Then, DOA and Street Fighters. The plots are usually cheesy as hell, and the characters never look the way they do in the games, you'll wonder why they even bothered using the name in the first place. For example; using Kristin Kreuk to play Chun-Li, minus her signature hair and outfit. Thats like telling Batman not to put on his suit.

Here are a few reasons why KOF probably wouldn't make it either;
1. Iori Yagami(!!), with his trademark red hair and all that hotness is nowhere to be found.
2. Mature and Vice look like J-Rock groupies who escaped from a Dir en grey video with their black leather lolita outfits.
3. Using American actors to play the characters 'Kyo Kusanagi' and 'Ryo Sakazaki'. Seriously. That is so wrong.
4. Maggie Q as Mai Shiranui!? This is so obviously an attempt to get more guys to watch the movie.

I don't think I'll watch this.

ohmygod..;

Woke up this morning, switched on my lappy to go online and the next thing I know, I was crying because I see the headlines "Avenged Sevenfold Drummer Found Dead At Home".
I cannot believe this. Why? WHY?

I stared at the screen for at least 2 minutes, trying to digest what I'm seeing. The Rev passed away. The Rev, as in drummer of Avenged Sevenfold. The Rev. I can't even begin to wrap my mind around this news. He was only 28 years old. How did he die? Sudden death, natural causes; that's all they said.

These days, death is all I keep hearing about. Michael Jackson, Brittany Murphy and now The Rev. It all seems so unreal, somehow. I wonder what will happen to A7X now. I see them following in X-Japan's footsteps back when Hide passed away in 1998. He was irreplaceable, and X-Japan's music changed forever without him. So is The Rev. I just can't see anyone taking over his place in the band. I don't think anyone's good enough.

What am I gonna do without A7x's music?
Ugh, sorry. I'm really passionate about my music.




"Seize the day, or die regretting the time you lost."

okay, now that's weird..;

I'm bored.
So I started reading Junjou Romantica all over again. Ah~ Usagi-san! <3

"I felt a warm dampness on my shoulder. Within me, I felt unformed ideas surging. "If only I could stay with this person forever! I want to be someone special to him..". I kept thinking...and didn't want those arms around me to go."

Back in time for Christmas!

I'm missing Singapore already. Shopping there is so awesome. Officially a C&K fan. I also got a new pair of high-cuts :D They're exactly like the ones in Converse, except they have studs on the front.
And let me say this, I actually spent the last 2 days in Singapore just walking. No cars, no cabs and no buses. Walking to breakfast, walking to the MRT, walking from mall to mall. Life in Singapore is the complete opposite of KL. Its a pretty big thing because..
if you had told me walk out for breakfast or to take the LRT here, I'd say 'In your dreams.'

Because the trains here stink. And there are practically no trees where I live, so you get scorched the moment you walk out.

4 days..;

... till Christmas :)

I do believe I'm more of a Christmas person, than a Chinese New Year one. My Dad says I'm in the wrong family -_- I've been bugging him for at least 6-7 years now, and he still refuses to put up a Christmas tree for me. Sheesh. He wouldn't even string some lights on that skinny thing we call a tree outside our house.

Made my Dad drive all the way to Pyramid at night because I wanted to take some pictures of the decorations outside the mall. The moment I got down the car with my camera in hand, the lights went out ._. I didn't even get one measly picture. We waited for at least 10 minutes, but the lights didn't come back on. My dad found it amusing. My mom thinks its my fault. She said 'Look what you did. Now everyone else can't take pictures too.'

If only I had the power to control electricity, really -.-


230am, and I have a craving for Starbucks and 10 Things I Hate About You.

How hard is it..

.. to shop for a measly pair of shorts in a huge mall?

Very hard.

Spent 4 hours walking around Times Square on my own today, and I couldn't find a pair of shorts that I actually like -.- After that, I dropped my aunt off at KL Central in the evening. And she's off to Japan....

...without me.

This is probably what my aunt will see in Osaka. Thats Osaka Castle behind the tree. I wonder if it looks just as beautiful in real life.

I wouldn't know.

blessed;

Adventurous day, all in all.

Went to the orphanage this morning. And it left me feeling..... something. I left with a heavy heart. Was supposed to drop Yung off at the LRT, but he convinced me to drive him down to KL. So I did. Even though my dad kinda put up a ban against me driving to KL.

And... then I got lost on the way back.

He neglected to tell me there were 2 turnings I had to take, instead of one. Next thing I knew, I was heading towards... somewhere. I didn't really feel like calling anyone for help (call it pride if you will) so, I did what my Dad taught me to, and tried to look for a road name, or a place I recognised. After driving for awhile, I found the road to KL Central, and somehow managed to find my way home :D I think I'll try KLCC next time.
....
Found this awesome site with some nice quotes. Thats what I spent the whole day doing.

dearjohn;

Was searching around for more news on Nicholas Sparks' Dear John, which I'm looking forward to more than The Last Song and I found this :D Channing Tatum <3

Totally made my day. Or whats left of it.

I'm off to bed. G'nite, world.

missed it;

My aunt is leading a tour group to Japan next week. When she called me to tell me about it a few days ago, I said "I'm sending you off with a list!"

The next day, the whole robbery thing happened and we both forgot about it until yesterday, when my uncle and I were webcamming and he mentioned it. And I jokingly said "Ask her if she needs an assistant! I'll go with her!"

After that, I went out for dinner and my aunt called back home to look for me. When I came back and my brother told me, it was already late, so I texted her this morning and just now, she replied saying:

"Tooooo late! I wanted to arrange for you to travel wz me to Japan...but they release the seats yesterday!!! So now if I want to buy u a seat, its going to cost a bomb!! You should have reminded me laa....

I can bring you along as my assistant trainee.. and you can speak Japanese!!"

OMG.

OH.

MY.

F-ING.

GOD.


I could have gone to Japan! JAPAN!! The birthplace of J-Rock! And Yoshiki!

I could have gone to Japan for a week. A WEEK! I could have done so much. I could have spent the whole week feeding my love for J-Rock. I could have gone and stalked GazettE or Dir en grey! I could have bought all the J-Rock DVDs that were banned in Singapore. I could have shopped at a Vivienne Westwood store! I could have shopped at a SexPot Revenge store! I could have shopped at a h.Naoto store!!! Okay, I would need money for that but seriously, I'd be happy just standing inside the shop. I could have gone to Disneyland . I could have visited all the architectural landmarks.

Most importantly, I could have seen snow :(
I could have granted my own 9 year old wish.
First Christmas with snow.

Ah God, you're so cruel.
I'm depressed.
*crawls off to a corner*

the clouds look really fluffy today;

Woke up damn early this morning. It was unusually bright, so I thought I overslept, and missed my alarm. I leaped out of bed to find that its only 915am.

Drove to DJ to meet Joe for lunch. I turned in at the junction to see 2 policemen riding horses past my car. As in, REAL horses. How random is that?! I have no idea why I did it, but then I let them past and followed slowly behind trying to snap a picture, when they all turned to look at me suspiciously. Sheesh.

Its so cool though. I haven't rode a (or seen a real) horse since I was 8!

book or blow?;

Excuse the weird title. As wrong as it sounds, its some insider joke with Vince.

Vince came to look for me after Jappy class, so we went for a drink. He was, as usual, being funny, with comments like 'I broke my zipper in the office twice and I had to tell my boss' and 'I caught my Dad smoking weed in his room'. That was a good one. He also tried to give me some counseling talk about "coming clean". Just because a person hasn't dated for years, does not automatically make that person a homosexual, you idiot! Hahaha.

Vince: So you went out with [name]?
Me: Yeah, a movie.
Vince: Did he try to hold your hand?
Me: -_- what the hell? no.
Vince: Oh, yeah, well.. I doubt he could reach your hand anyway.

is it me, or does my height seem to bother everyone else?

today...;

is the first day of my wake-up-at-10am-everyday plan. No more 10 hours sleep for me, or I won't be able to revert back to the measly 4 hours I get when I start college soon.

Its only 12pm now, and I'm already feeling sleepy.

I couldn't sleep last night. Think it was because of that phone call from my uncle at night. The last time he called my dad at night, my grandmother passed away. Ever since then, I usually have a bad feeling about night-calls from family members. Turns out something did happen over at OUG, so we drove over to see what was going on. On the phone with my uncle from Singapore, and the first thing he asked me was 'Did they steal my aeroplane books?! Those are important! Go and find them!!'

I really doubt they would break in the house just to steal a bunch of books. Anyway you can't sell off books at secondhand stores. I know this for a fact because I have tried. Anyway, whoever it is made a huge mistake coming to our place. The only things we have in abundance are books. The last time I went over, there were books in every corner of the house. Every time my aunt comes back from Singapore or anywhere else, she brings back more books. Which I bring back to my house. Hahaha.
Who could say no to free books?

i wonder..;

...what these dreams mean?

Lately, I've been having recurring dreams about cockroaches. Not exactly rainbow and sunshine material.

The first one was me being in a dark alley, and I was chased by 3 huge flying cockroaches. And they can fly really fast. I was running and running, past some people I know, past some I don't know, but everyone refused to help ._. Actually, in my dream, they looked at me weirdly when I said 'the cockroaches are chasing me!'. I ran up a lot of stairs, but they could catch up just as fast. It was kinda scary.

The second one was 2 nights ago; I was stuck in my car with 2 huge cockroaches, and they came out of my air-cond vent. I tried to open the car door and run out, but I couldn't. I still remember it was night then, and I was really afraid because I couldn't see where they were. Then suddenly, one crawled past my dashboard and I tried to hit it with my bag, screaming all the way.

The third one was today, and the most disgusting. I was participating in some competition with a bunch of college mates and 2 of my brother's friends ._. I stopped by my auntie's house in Old Town and she said she made me some food to eat, before my competition. So, I went in with everyone and we sat down at the dining table. Then, she brought out 2 plates of fried i-dunno-what, but they were round. So, I took one and bit it and it turns out the filling was a cockroach O_O!!! I can still see its body in my mind. Urgh. And the worst was, I had its head stuck in my throat, and I was choking while everyone were happily eating ._. I had to cough it out, and everyone was like 'What are you doing?! These are nice!' I tried telling them it had cockroach-filling but no one listened to me. I suddenly 'woke up' and it was about 5-something am..And my throat did feel kinda funny o_o I couldn't sleep properly after that, cause it was too cold and I was really afraid of 'continuing' the dream.

Even now, I'm actually kinda afraid to go to bed. I don't want anymore cockroach dreams!

I forgot where I kept the book about dreams that Chun Hung bought for me a loong time ago. I'm pretty sure it has a section for insect dreams..

Or was it animals?


I hope it doesn't mean I'm about to be attacked by a pack of cockroaches in real life soon.

not again!;

Today, I received a text message from Kinokuniya saying my 'order' has arrived. And the best thing is, I have no idea what I ordered this time ._.
....
Went to OU again to watch Ninja Assassin with King Yi. Han (Tokyo Drift) is in the movie! He also died 5 minutes later ._. I thought it was gonna be a pretty cool action movie, with loads of fighting scenes. But I see more blood than action, though. Not to mention all the body parts flying around like nobody's business. The amount of 'blood' you see in the movie... if you were to replace it with tomato sauce, its enough to feed a small country for at least half a year. There ain't much fighting scenes either, other than Rain. Because the ninjas apparently lurk in the shadows killing people, you only see a flash of black before Rain swings his chain-sword thingy and suddenly blood spatters all over him. I spent half the time staring at some random dude's head to avoid seeing body parts being chopped off.
....
My brother finally decided to take out the HD from the old (dead) computer to transfer the files out into the Panda's com. And all my Jrock songs, videos and concert lives are still in there!! I didn't even realise I had 50gb worth of Jrock in there. Now I know why they were so pissed at me. Lol. Watching all the old videos again now :D Once you take your eyes off the band members, I notice that every Jrock PV has some kinda bondage scene going on ._. Girls in leather holding whips over blindfolded guys and some guy-on-guy/girl-on-girl action (Pierrot), guys strapped to some kinda metal, surgical bed (Malice Mizer), half-naked girls in chains (Dir en grey), Gackt being gay with his guitarist onstage, and...

Yeah, you get me.

The era in which I fell in love with Jrock is pretty twisted.

Was attempting to clean up my room when I found my old GetBackers VCDs and (Tony's?) Glay Live in Big Egg VCD. I'm sorry its still with me
m(_ _)m

After that, I abandoned my room-cleaning plan and sat down to watch GetBackers. Ah~ I've forgotten how much I love the show. I'm falling in love with Koyasu Takehito's voice all over again. He's the seiyuu for Kakei Juubei's character :D Because I was too engrossed in the show, I was late for Jappy class. And we had the weirdest conversation exercise. At the end of the class, we always have a topic to talk about to practise our conversation skills. Today's topic was "Moshi kekkonshitara..." (If you were to get married..). We had questions like "How many kids do you want", "What do you want your kids to grow up to be", "What type of marriage you want" and even "What do you want your husband/wife to do for you" ._. I couldn't think of a single answer, because really, I don't even want to so I asked the questions instead.

Was supposed to meet TikTsin after class, and we were on the phone deciding on a place to meet for yumcha, and he seemed to have developed an accent. Which is weird. For a while, I thought I had the wrong number ._. I nearly hung up. He hasn't changed much in the 3 years that I haven't seen him after I transferred to SAS. But he did grow alot taller ._. He was towering over me, and he said in this tone; "Well, you didn't grow much."

Yeah, good guess, Sherlock.

Yung got me the Starbucks planner! I love you! :D
