Haha what else is there? Of course is Shana and WORKING’!! lah! You guys watched liao? Damn great siah…
Shana definitely is in the midst of heating up, with some fights going outside the Outlaw branches across the world, and with Centerhill also appearing this is really gonna be interesting, given that I don’t read the novel and read the Manga. More is to come, and I expect the best. Besides, they’ve waited so long for the story to have some conclusion, so they better make it good. And yeah, their editing sure beats BLEACH…
WORKING’!! was also interesting, even though the title is a little misleading, or maybe I anticipated too much. Satou finally gets some chance alone with technophobic Yachiyo, and the spy on the chief by Kyouko’s gang sure is amusing. Anyways, next week it’s Takanashi X Inami? Oh make it end quick then, the season (I suppose) is gonna end soon…
Me? I’m okay with minimal revision, and I told myself to do as much MCQ Papers, and only ended up with two, haha. Unless they come up with difficult stuff to make sure I don’t score in this exams, then I think I’ll be okay. Haiz, that’s why I came to type and later go play GTA IV to stress-out lah. (Audience: From the revision?) No, from tomorrow afternoon; It’s “minimal” already wad…
For music, many more songs confirmed next year liao, including the unexpected Aki-chan with her new preview “music” from her Okaeri Radio broadcast (which I missed), and also ClariS, singing for Nisemonogatari Anime. With someone who wrote for Shana Opening appearing again, I suppose this is gonna be great. Wow, cannot even wait for tomorrow, and there’s Rie fu… Ok don’t tip you guys too much, or next year nothing to comment on liao…
Cya guys then, until next time… hope you guys are enjoying yourselves, I’ll join in slowly after Tuesday afternoon. And damn, my parents seem to have plans for me…
Sunday Night Report: Weekend Entertainment Report
Sunday Night Report: Dreams, Dreams, Dreams
Hi guys. I know you guys think that dreams are impractical, and that sleeping is really a waste of time. But to me, dreams indicate something about what I think, and sleeping… well it’s a way of relieving stress. Let’s proceed, shall we?
About yesterday night’s first, I slept just now too, haha. (Audience: Eh…) I’m… in a video game. Or rather, I’m playing a video game, like Pokemon. I cannot say it IS Pokemon, but similar. It starts with me in the first room, my bedroom, like most Pokemon games (which doesn’t) (try not to prove me wrong, I’m not a fan). And then I proceed downstairs, and I found a big map on the table. I approach it, and the table opens itself… And I’m in a lift. I try to press a button, but there are FOUR buttons. The point is, one is not in line with the other three, and without any numbers I’m supposed to choose one. But before I could… yeah I’m awake. This was a short one isn’t it?
And you know guys? It doesn’t matter how much you dream, it matters when how much you can sleep tight. Point is, I – or my nose - recently cannot get used to sleeping at night, so am disturbed time after time. But just now, in the afternoon, I’m okay, and can still dream with the rain pelting so strongly beside my bed. I dreamt… of my house undergoing renovation. Huh? Yeah. And yah, nothing’s happening to the interior of my house in reality, and more the point I was surprised. Started with two of my acquaintances (I duno who, but I know them), they started to tidy up my room (yeah even now it’s terrible) and I’m still half-asleep. I step out of the room, and I see this… BIG counter-like thing, unpainted, placed in my living room, with most of the things (I remember since the com wasn’t present) removed.I walk out to the front door, and see Mum instructing people to clean up and move in new stuff, furniture perhaps. And throughout the dream, I kept hearing “It’s been 10 years, about time to renovate this house already” or something like that…
I tell you guys, I may be imagining more than letting things flow when I’m asleep, but it indicates something. Something that why my mind anticipates change while I’m dormant in my room, doing nothing but sleeping. Seriously? I duno man, I duno how to believe what I imagine. Even APoL looks like some real-life drama than the action show I intended to do…
Cya guys, stay tuned for the Weekend Entertainment Report, tomorrow, on a Monday. Maybe I should do all these reports on a Monday: It makes things much easier to do on a day without anything to watch…
[P.S.: Man Ajikan is worth a listen. I guess this could be one of the last 5-stars I’m giving…]
Sunday Afternoon Report: Inception in a Siesta?
Hi guys. Firstly can we just give more recognition to SPECIAL OTHERS? They are great people man, even gave Ajikan’s vocal a collaboration on their album 2 weeks from now… And yeah there’s a Song of the ay today. Cannot wait for tomorrow man…
”13th November 2011 (Song of the day: Ano Kuni Made: SPECIAL OTHERS & Ooki Nobuo (from ACIDMAN), Horie Atsushi (from STRAIGHTENER)”
Well and regarding this title… I had a dream. On a rainy Sunday afternoon. Well, I know at this time I should be studying, but that’s not the point (I intend to study, but this took place…). Eh let’s see…. Well instead of an ‘inception’ (which defines in the movie as having a dream inside one), I had two, actually. (Audience: Cheh…) Sshh, listen me out…
First is some story. I think it’s similar to The Frog Prince story that we all know, but a little different. Like, this female was telling me she dreamt this story but the guy… was lousier than me? I mean, in attractiveness? Haha, well that’s just a story…
”You see, I woke up in my garden, and I see this frog, and I kissed it, and it became… no it’s not you, it’s-“
The other was too ridiculous I don’t feel like saying. Every time I dream of the story (yeah it didn’t appear once, and it’s only the last that revealed the guy) (Note: It’s with the first parts, like, interchanging scenes, and that above first for the last time), after that is a scene of me entering an elevated apartment, with glass windows and me entering from a flight of steps to an opened door. There was no one in there, and I don’t know why…
But it was only until the last time (I had a LOOOOONG nap guys) that I knew it was MY home, and my family was in there. Dad’s still driving, and Mum and sis were at this beautiful modern abode. But what was REALLY ridiculous was… Mum was pregnant. (Audience: OMG) Yeah. It’s not my sis for sure, as she assisted my Mum to the nearby coffee shop, while I walked ahead of them with my Dad…
Then we sat down, caring for Mum who walked through the street with a kid in her belly, eh… from the looks I say 5 months? (Audience: Wow experienced fella…) Yeah, and we went to find a seat in the “Seafood Restaurant” (yeah 煮炒 for those who duno S’pore), and it seems that the boss is reminding us to take our seats and not stand around… the people arriving suddenly increase and took all the seats, like literally all, occupying all the things on the table…
Well that’s all folks, now that I sound like Looney Tunes, I think I should stop here. (Audience: Eh? After you made a fool of yourself?) Ahem, and it seems that I need revision, and dinner, if you guys don’t mind…
[P.S.: LX asked me whether I’m doing well on ‘A’s, even after seeing my blog. I duno what to say man. Maybe I reply ‘I’m preparing to join you repeating’ later?? Haha nah don’t think so…]
Sunday Night Prelude: For The Sake Of Moving Forward
Yeah, this post is between “Sunday Night Report” and “Diary Prelude”, so I ended up with this. The title’s in hopes of next week though…
Just here to talk random things, like… let’s start with dreaming. I’ve been dreaming (and forgetting) a lot, like GTA IV, and surprisingly even Mina-chan came into my dream. I was introducing her to something, I forget… (Audience: Haha hope it’s not anything rated…) Hey she’s older then me, so I don’t think much…
Things like… Army. Last Tuesday History Paper before going in had a unrelated chat with TK, the one I first met in Orientation in 2010. He’s already a knack at writing History and GP Essays as seen from his works, and what’s more, these kind of people can get PES ‘E’. Lucky people man, and yeah TK, everyone else wants to take your PES Level man…
Things like… (for a ‘Happy 3’) GP Pre ‘A’ Levels. And a potential killer of me being victim and Mrs Pah being the prosecutor. If she’s gonna slaughter for not booking consulatation for her… I guess I should stick with my flu in the weekend: I think I can skip tomorrow..
Whatever it is, I already placed my hopes on next week, and definitely hope it gets as close as those six words above. Cya guys then, tomorrow? Either I’ll miss because of GP, or miss because I’m in bed. Oh, so it’s “until the day after then”…? Haha… ACHOO!! *sniff* Sorry…
[P.S.: I cannot wait for Monday, so I place a special song for today. “How to go” by School Food Punishment. I think I’m starting to get addicted to SFP liao. Now to last minute GP revision…]
[P.P.S.: Haiz accuracy kinda fails when you type under a bad nose…]
Saturday Night Report: Before the Last Week
Sorry guys, been… indulging myself with too much play, and too little work. (Doesn’t mean I do no work) *silence* (OK I didn’t.) Or at least, I did intend to type something now, even though I can do it this morning…
Yesterday wasn’t much, as I said it’s just 2 hours of lesson and I’m back home. So rest of the day I tried out GTA IV while catching up on Mio TV, and I can play the game now! Great, and after 24 hours I managed to get the radio going, which was absent in the… version I downloaded. Well, all is good, and GTA IV really IS COOL, and I guess I need to bade farewell to San Andreas soon…
Today isn’t much, a continuation of yesterday’s play, even though I told myself to finish Chemistry today, which I printed from a printer with low black ink. I managed to print it out somehow…
Entertainment News: Quick one. No Nichijou tomorrow, and WORKING’!! Episode 1 shows AGAIN tonight, and I’ll just be watching for subbers. I’ve not received YUI yet, likely tomorrow. And GTA IV… what shall I comment? It’s already been there since 2008, my comment may be too late already. BUT IT’S UBER GOOD~~~
Cya guys then, I need to get to some work, Dad has gotten word of my Prelim results from my Mum who helped me sign the result slip. (And as always thinking like a teen I think I can get away with it) Until next time, Monday likely, I will… persevere to the end… staying in the college…
[P.S.: Yeah Friday’s Song of the day is Akikaze: Sid and MOTTO!: Yamada Aoi, seiyuu name you guys go find it yourself…]
Sunday Morning Report: Cute Ma-Magic
Let’s start without delay. This video starts with miwa… in a studio? (It’s rather obvious, but I rather not emphasise it here) Yeah, she was in a video with plenty of Westerners again, or Japanese with wigs, whichever they belong. Anyways, she dons her guitar, screams to start the song, and acts cute from time to time. Well most of the time, as the many pictues I can offer in High Definition:
(Damn I just can't choose... you guys get to see 21 of them. Damn...) (Audience: Yay!)
 | |
|
 | |
|
 | |
|
 | |
|
 | |
|
 |
Ah here's the chorus, and fancy some dancing. And as usual
the production team placed her a platform above others
|
 | |
|
 |
See how she plays her guitar! Damn if I could
play this well... (or how well she plays)
|
 | |
|
 | |
|
 | |
|
 |
In a bathtub? And why are there so many lesbians behind you?
And yeah, it's only till Wednesday...
|
 |
If you guys were asking if she had other skirts... no.
This is as far as she went.
|
 |
No no, you shouldn't take off your clothes and bathe
in the middle of- *silence* a studio...
|
 |
...And even these middle-aged people started dancing.
I thought they were of no use... |
 |
| Yeah miwa! |
 | |
|
 | |
|
 | |
|
Overall, it’s just stunning, even though… I shouldn’t emphasise, they aren’t in a location with a proper ceiling. They could’ve done more, but miwa herself is more than enough. Of course the creativity is there, and I wonder why miwa doesn’t include Thursday in her song. I know, it’s her day off, right? Haha…
Diary Prelude: First Last Row
The weekend? Damn it’s kinda bad. But I mean, if you guys can guess why I don’t type any… anytime from Thursday till now - until now - that I should just update you guys (and myself) on my situation now…
I… gave up many things. Especially Facebook, I’ve tried to stop playing games, but they just appear as I think of ways to get some games in my hands before I play them. Latest on my list is a Basic Gameplay of GTA IV, which means this stupid com can give me some chance of playing the best game in this universe. So we shall see…
I…have plenty of homework, where I consider “Homework” as “Revision”. Tomorrow starts with an exceptionally short day, and I have to stay late three day out of five, as I see from the time-table, which only lasts for two weeks? I have not done enough to make the teachers happy, but I’ll continue after this, so don’t worry…
I… have inspiration, and set out plenty of time for listening to songs, including the latest hits, news on latest songs from WORKING’!! to Shakugan no Shana III (Final) too, and many more for watching Anime. I’ve been also reminiscing on the songs I remember (or have not been remembering), and just now I had this wonderful inspiration which… is a breakthrough of my usual melody-only track! Cue “Fly” (Yeah that’s the name of the track, thinking of AZUMA HITOMI at that time wor):
I… duno what to say liao. Maybe I shall be silent, maybe I should save some energy to do more revision. Maybe I should also forget the many things to remember the whole of the ‘A’ Level Syllabus, and it shall start with me reading GP notes or History notes on BOTH bus trips to and back from school. So let’s hope I move on, and… people stop blaming me if I didn’t finish my work… *sob* Cya soon…
[P.S.: Will still be typing weekday entries though, but weekend Reports… I have many plans man, but time doesn’t give me the chance to do so, like showing you guys how cute miwa looked on her latest PV, what a wonderful Preview I’ve made from the latest songs and also (to make the ‘Happy 3’) and how much I’m enjoying my ONLY game I’m playing: Online Jigsaw. Well, all is time to come that I would share with you, provided I can remember when I reach the time to type…]
Monday Afternoon Report: Copycat ~The Rationale of Originality~
Hi guys. Just unhappy, and here to let it all out. Actually, it’s more of a coincidence, and with the recent (maybe I’m outdated liao) release of Cyndi Wang’s new album, particularly one song that was an Insert Song for her leading drama. I guess till here you guys can guess what I am talking about already. This is SO insulting in some other way…
If you’re a Cyndi fan, it’s 下一页的我, or “The Next Me” in English. Here:
In comparison, for Ikimono fans, or if you already know which song this melody corresponds to (oh man YouTube sucks, and I only found a live version):
Yeah. I don’t wanna say much, but belittling a hit song like two years ago in Japan is seriously… unbecoming. I, have seen plenty of examples where this came from. Just in 2010 too STEREOPONY took BIvattchee as their cover song to… cover their other songs? And yeah I agree if the song sounds better or the same is of no comment to me, but worse? Well, look what happened here. Even if Cyndi likes the melody, taking it for her own album is kinda… unexplainable.
And to sum up, if you ever liked Cyndi, at least look at the comments the people wrote. One wrote: {Translation in square brackets]
”跟原版 いきものがかり-YELL 唱功差距太大了= ="
[Compared to the original (Ikimonogakari’s YELL) the standard is a far (from the original)]
不過原版算是日本的神曲了
[But the original is seriously a hit of Japan]
王心凌敢挑戰這首.......只能說勇氣可嘉= =" 給你拍拍手
[Cyndi dared to take a challenge on this… (I) could say she has the courage. A round of applause for you]
台灣真的該加油= ="
[Taiwan really better buck up]
a16816816811”
Thanks, a16816816811 for giving such an honest opinion. Honestly, it’s not really who took the song for their cover song or for any other reason. The whole rationale, is about uniqueness. Especially the melody, where people will remember it for life even if they forget the lyrics (you see some shows are refreshing out memories out there). So, if much as possible, copying melodies is so… you might as well sing the original…
[P.S.: Hah, "The Next Me” – The Copycat.]
Tuesday Night Report: Everything That Has Been Done
Hi guys, welcome back. Wait, I’m writing a short report, right? Well let see my summary skills on shortening all of the weekend and till National Day today? Yeah…
Weekend isn’t much, nothing was done besides my progresses in the games I played. Yesh I still play games, but limited to Sims 3 for now. Yesterday wasn’t much, I just… can’t get over the fact I was not doing work. *silence* Let’s talk about today.
Today was National Day, even though I don’t feel anything, I have to reminisce about the days we lived in this… population under some authoritarian regime, people who mostly like K-Pop, and in an education system that I’m not pleased with. Well… there are still things to remember, like… like… *silence* Ok in the NDP, President Nathan, the Observance Ceremony and fireworks are the highlight. Everything else was unnecessary…
Entertainment News: That’s why I wrote the entry today. Nichijou was as funny as ever, especially Hakase (in all cases she’s just cute, even though I don’t really like 8-year-olds…). BLEACH was just in a downfall; when I gained confidence in the filler it disappointed me again. Illogical things like a plushie with a rock on its back and some shinigami FALLING DOWN A CLIFF?? Haiz the standard…
Music wise received VELTPUNCH (finally), and chose some songs, even though overall their album wasn’t as expected. Sometimes we can already gauge the standard of an album/single by waiting for it’s upload into the Internet. This is also some Statistics, you know. Also downloading SCANDAL’s new album…
OK here’s what I intend to do during the two-day study break (where break really means… study.). I’ll report what revision I did from tomorrow on Web Diary, regardless doing papers or compiling notes (mostly the latter), and stop playing from now on. Besides, VELTPUNCH is with me… *silence* Ah~ yeah.
Cya guys then, and I think I should place this in Web Diary anyway, until next time… LX was also busy anyways, even though I mailed her it took days for her to reply, haha. She asked whether I have a phone too. *silence* [Dry laugh] Hahahaha…
Diary Prelude: The Short-Awaited Heaven
Hi guys, just to update you guys, I’m still alive.
Eh I guess I’ve been doing plenty of work, until I gave up and played GTA just now. Nichijou was a good episode, but not funny enough, given the wonderful development of the story of Nano-chan…
That’s all. I’ve been dreaming lately, and is on the way to make a post of what I can imagine. Well imagination brings people far? Sadly I have neither the literacy and artistic talent of pen it down. Sad, then you guys just have to bear with my lousy English liao…
Also, Friday’s Song of the day is “in bloom” by School Food Punishment. Well they’re a wonderful band, but as I deviate to listen to more Electronica, I may forget the rock and pop songs I aim to find in my journey in Japan… Unless SFP’s next single hits me again…
Cya guys then, tomorrow isn’t gonna be a bad start. But my body’s just in pain, like sore, not pain, which makes things even worse. Well I just have to bear with it huh…
[P.S.: My sis cracked a joke when eating dinner just now, when a wild cat was sitting beside me while I’m eating, told me to stop looking at it or it may follow me home. I said why not send her to Fernvale (Eileen and LX can take care of it), and I also hope people I like will look at me when I look at them. Haiz only animals can do that only though…]
Saturday Morning Report: The Procrastinate
Hi guys, and sorry for not typing for Friday again. Been onto some things to enjoy myself before that damn term 3 comes. I’ll also summarise what nonsense this “June-Holidays” facade is, before we move to another exciting (yet excruciating) part of my life. I duno about yours, but mine’s kinda…
With the holidays coming to an end - not counting this weekend where I’m about to torture myself (as much as possible) after this post - I have not made much progress. Only Chemistry revision has been done, and I have not yet touched anything else. Damn…
And with this, I found many ways to make myself happy. Haha. First, is Anime. Yesterday concluded two Anime I’ve been watching (to fail my Mid-Years?), [C] and A Channel. [C] had an abrupt end, but at least ended well with the debate of choosing future over money, even though both are dependent on each other, and one would come back to seek another when one exists (like how Masakaki still found Kimimaro when the so-called “Financial District” has collapsed). A Channel on the other hand is kinda inconclusive, just the fact that Tooru just likes Run-chan, and everyone else just because they may be graduating soon. Damn isn’t that how you tided through Middle School last time…
Next is games. Well, game previews I suppose. Yesterday night was busy killing people in Sims 3 (yeah not in GTA), and was kinda fun, even though I spammed too much cheats the com almost couldn’t take it. Previews wise… I know the BLEACH PS3 game “SOUL IGNITION” has appeared, and seeing people play makes me want to buy the game too, so is sis, since Rukia’s inside…
Then is music. Sadly good songs only appear like WHEN the holidays are gonna end. Various artists I came to know about have announced releases within Term 3, including VELTPUNCH, SCANDAL, Ikimono-gakari and more. (VELTPUNCH is just great, go check out their previews on their Myspace site, listen especially to “The sweetest”, a great song to replace the Inoue opening of BLEACH) And also good songs are released on Term 3 Week 1, so nothing much to say. I took a notice of Natural High again, got hold of WORKING!! character songs just now and Oreimo’s Ending Themes. They all… are just fine, but I need better songs to motivate me instead…
Last is dreams. As people say “what you think at day makes up what you dream at night” (日有所思，夜有所梦). So worrying much about medical checkup, my homework, and even my uncut nails (I’ll do them up later) become the headlines in my dreams every night. Haiz when is this nonsense gonna end man… (Audience: Until it’s over.) Yeah…
Lastly, no not entertainment. Lastly (see make me say again), it’s just mostly my part to make this holiday fruitful. Sadly, I haven’t made much progress, and am not gonna progress enough to please the people in SRJC. Say goodbye people, the days of lone revision and consultation are gonna arrive soon…

Friday Night Report: Much Like A (Happy) Illusion
The song is somewhat life-related, but I duno the lyrics and it seems there’s English in it (besides “All right” lah) which I cannot decipher…Well not important.
The PV, is about some visual illusion, nevertheless done by some clever PV director, who just left some clues for you guys to see. From camera angles to look-alikes, they’ve got everything. Now let’s take a look...
It starts with the Guitar/Vocal/Composer Gotoh entering a room with his band inside showing some... pretty slice-of-life things, even though it's not what they do everyday: (let the tags say the story) (and don't mind the words below, I didn't place that)
 |
| Gotoh walks in an empty background... |
 |
| ... and he sits down on a chair. |
 |
| The drummer sits opposite him... |
 |
| ... and he walks off! Hey where did the Guitarist come from? |
 |
| Hey who's this chick? |
 |
| This is so... where did they find that magazine? |
 |
| Reminds me of some dog... |
 |
| Gotoh's singing alone... |
 |
| ... and he's singing to the mirror? |
 |
| See the difference? |
 |
| The lady takes the milk... |
 |
| ... was covered by the drummer pouring milk... (man that's the life) |
 |
| ... walks off... |
 |
| ... And another comes by almost instantly! |
 |
| Anyone duno this is an illusion needs a mental checkup. Check the Guitarist's floppy shirt. |
 |
| The Guitarist sees some angel... |
 |
| ... and gets taken away by her! Wow~ |
 |
| Even the Bassist got shocked! (Until here you don't know this is an illusion... *smacks head*) |
 |
| The Band itself, ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION. |
 |
| An action Gotoh rarely does. Check in how many PVs he touches things... |
 |
| Man two angels! |
 |
| Look how synchronised they are! |
 |
| Man two servants? |
 |
| Notice anything different? (Don't tell me no difference from the above pics) |
 |
| This is the ”ノットがなりたい” kind of moment... |
 |
| See? Just a black stripe of cloth and four Asians make a manuscript liao... |
 |
| This is the "My Hand are Tired" moment... |
 |
| Changing the scores YOUR way. Even Burger King cannot beat this. |
 |
| It gets framed man... Is it for sale? |
 |
| Some "In-the-frame" moments... (See? One of the gals has a larger chest than the other! Not kidding!) |
 |
| Now that you know it isn't one female in the PV... |
 |
| More "In-the-frame"... |
 |
| This is just extra... |
 |
| Gotoh popped out to sing a word. |
 |
| Random playing... like, random in seating. |
 |
| Some playing around... (Either you are seeing two or you're seeing one real and one fake) |
 |
| More "In-the-frame" Gotoh... |
 |
| This is just so nice... and confusing... |
 |
| ... nee? |
 |
| Random seating... |
 |
| One of the ladies close the door... |
 |
| ... and it's an empty background with Gotoh standing again. |
