Music: Ikujinashi by ya-ya-yah.


you. why must you hold on so tightly when it's time to let go?
you. How can you love others before loving yourself more?
you. erase all thoughts.
you. a beautiful future awaits.



Guess what? today's the 698th post! :D
2 more posts and it's TRJ's 700th post!


Wow... time really REALLY flies.



It has been what... 2 years plus plus (nearly 3 years) since I've started blogging.
It has unknowingly become part of my life.

Whenever I turn on the comp, the first thing (ok maybe not the first thing. but who cares?)
I do is to log on to blogger.com.

It's where I vent my frustrations, where I share my deepest thoughts about life, where I record my daily trivial matters or just where I write really random stuff (you know? all the top 15 random things and random facts.).


And I'm very proud to say that I have NEVER changed my blog add. LOL.


I mean, millions of ppl change their blog adds every few months, right?
So it's quite an achievement, neh? :D

Ok cut the crap.



Today @ school

Today's probably the SLEEPIEST day ever since the day I stepped in AJ.
I don't know why, but there's just this very strong urge to sleep.


And it's not just me! (points accusing finger at my friends. WAHAHA)
Everyone felt like sleeping today, ok?I even caught a few ppl nodding off. lol.


My table enjoys vandalising. =X


And Econs is driving me nuts.
Esp the think-pair-share worksheet.
wenshi, clarrissa, peiyun, chenxi, minglu and I were going 'huh?' most of the time.
esp that killer question 8. haha.


Clarrissa went off first to have lunch with her _____.
ok no la. her male friend. haha.


So Kah Ying, Wenshi, Peiyun and I went back together.
Peiyun takes the bus, so the 3 of us took train together.


Ran into Siew Boon. haha.


And we started a blue-tooth frenzy. LOL.


BAKA WENSHI. :D


oh and she managed to take horrendous photos of me.
which really sucks cos she's gonna edit and show everyone.

baka! kuso! shin ne!


oh, and that reminds me of Serene showing her class ppl the AWFUL NH SPORTS DAY 2005 photos!!!


yes. the one in which my face was all scrunched up cos ALVIN KICKED ME WITH HIS NCC BOOTS. lol.


hopefully no one would recognize me. teehee.



oh. and many ppl out there confuse japanese with korean.hmm... how do I say?
like it's actually a korean song but they say it's in japanese.

If you have any problems differentiating, you can always approach me! :D
yes. cos 99.9% of the songs I listen to are in japanese.


I REALLY shouldn't be blogging right now.

I ought to study for my Chem test and Phy quiz tml.

Tsk tsk.



By the way, the beginning of the entry (all the words in italic) are written by TRJ. as in really, the real me.

:)

Before I go, I shall post some REALLY AWESOME pictures


Alright. my lecture notes are nagging at me. bye!



















1st pic: Wenshi during class. Siew boon's behind! LOL.

2nd pic: Ayu's black and white version of A BEST 2!!! :D



COUNTING DOWN: TOMORROW!!! Ayu's release of A best 2!!! :D




alright. My lecture notes are nagging at me.

mata neh! :D

2 days~!~*

Counting down: TWO DAYS to release of A-best 2 album!!!

More pictures of Ayumi (for promotion purposes. XD)



















DID YOU SEE THAT?! The hongkong tix (which sold out in only a few hours' time) for ayu's asia tour 2007! T^T

Recent mag shoots of ayu. :)






















Recent Music Fighter Performance of DEAREST.
DID YOU SEE THE sparkling thing on ayu's head? It's the exact same thing she wore on her DEAREST era. ^_^















ok. this is a little random. But it's 'UNITE' performance during MS! Then the hosts just went 'Sexy!!!' and kinki kids imitated Ayu and tsuyoshi pretended to be ayu while koichi said 'Sexy!!!'


Ayu promoting for A BEST 2~*




This is absolutely darling. ayu's just really pretty! :D

Mood: Wistful
Music: Sekai ga hitotsu ni naru made by Ya-ya-yah

Love will protect tomorrow...


There're days when I go home alone
And sit down in the train, listening to my ipod.
Thinking about the day, the people, myself.
Feeling calm and just... thankful to be alive.


Today is one of those days.


I should really walk up to everyone and tell them, "You've done a great job."
Because no matter how hopeless life has been, we've survived through it all.


Which is kiseki, neh? :)


We complained, cried, groused, scolded, worried.
But still, we never gave up.
And we're living right now. :)



I was just thinking, how long can I live?
Long enough to accomplish every goal I have in my life?


Then again, I want to do much more than merely accomplishing what I want to accomplish.
Like learning to love people more than they love me.





You too, right?
You have a goal in mind.
Something you really want to do, no matter how impossible it seems.


If you do, have faith in it.
Because there's definitely no dream that can't be fulfilled.
(i want to convince myself too. ^^;;)




And another thing.
So what if we're not the prettiest, smartest, cutest, most noble, most caring people?
Yeah. So what?
Nothing/no one can stop us from dreaming, from living on, from smiling.



To some people you might seem to be nothing.

But to the people who care, YOU ARE someone.







Sekai ga hitotsu ni naru made by Ya-ya-yah.

The song is about love and peace. And the title means 'before the world becomes one'.
And the dance steps are in hand sign. :)
Although they're kids, I really love the song.
(btw, they've grown up alr ^^;;)

And please listen for the eng lines in the end. I love them. :)

Lumix CM~*

The Panasonic Lumix CM!

A Best 2~*

Mood: takumish
Music: OUR LOVE ~to my parents~ by BoA


You're nice. So are you. and you and you. I'm sorry I don't have the courage to speak up.


Listening to BoA's 'Made in twenty' right now.
I realized I still prefer her ballads more.
And definitely all her singles. :)


I was telling myself," You've GOT TO blog about cny."
But i feel really lazy. XD


So I shall postpone that entry. together with the blackout incident. haha.


Anyway, school's really boring.
Especially tutorials.
I can't seem to bring myself to like certain teachers.
lol. No. not that da-bian-tou (shithead) haha.

And I love to procrastinate.
I can already see a few disapproving looks. haha.

At least now I can run without stopping.
which is a HUGE improvement. haha.


On the other hand, piano's killing me.
I have to play the same part over and over again to familiarize with it.
and my poor poor left hand ended up aching like mad.
Same with my right leg. (for stepping on pedal too long)

Piano exam coming! 5th March.


These days, I'm running out of energy to even blog.


oh yes btw, let me share smthg.

http://panasonic.jp/dc/gallery/cm/index.html

NEWEST ayu's panasonic CM! :)
Really loved it. cos no 3-inch thick makeup.
natural and really really pretty. :)


For now, let the photos do the talking. :)






















Ayu's appearance in one of the mags. :)

Awesome promotion tactics for A BEST 2. They're on auction now and prices are STILL rising.

Part of Me screencap. I loved this scene. ^_^





















Ayu's appearance on Flying Postman Mag. What's tt??


















I really love how ayu looks in those black and white photos!
















Saving the best for the last. Cool-looking ayu. :)


I sometimes wonder
If we had lived
Sharing one life
Long before we were born...

-Part of Me by Ayumi~*




Let's talk in numbers.

Ayu's A BEST sold over 4,291,244 units. and it was released only 2 years after her debut album 'A Song for XX'.

and this record has not been broken yet.(it was a legend created by her)

So now, ayu is challenging her own record.

We'll see..






COUNTING DOWN:
4 DAYS TO A BEST 2!!!

Ayu~*

Ok. I absolutely have to blog about this ---> Ayu's new PV 'Part of Me'!!!

Damn it. Minus away the ultra bright red lipstick, you get a near perfect PV.
I mean it. It's deep in a weird sort of way.
Ayu has definitely done a great job. :)

I LOVE everything about the PV. even the very dark concept.

It caused (once again) another uproar in the ayu community

people even cried over it. lol.

It's dark, yes. And of cos, the song! IT'S A DARLING! :D

I'm definitely gonna get the A Best 2 Black Version. ^^

And for now.........

TADA! Newest Ayu's CD-DATA mag scans! :D (click to see a LARGER version)

Mood: trapped
Music: Dreamboy Ending Song by Kat-tun and Kanjani8

I don't need the smartest person in the world. I don't need the prettiest and most talented. Nor do I need the most caring and most understanding person.... I need...



Happy Chinese New Year everyone! ^_^


Really sorry for the late new year wishes. ^^;;
Anyway, I hope everyone enjoyed their New Year. :)
Well, I sure did (though I must have gained 100 pounds from eating so much junk food XD)
But who cares?
There's always AJC PE lessons. haha.


I realized I've lots and lots to update.
But unfortunately, I'm rushing off for dinner.
So this entry's gonna be really short.
Gomen ne, minna~ ^^;;


Meanwhile, I'm gettin really busy these days.
Piano. Tutorials. Outings (AHAHAHA)

Yes piano. My piano exam is coming.

damn it.



This time round I shall do it without any regrets.



sigh.



sometimes, don't you wish to spread your wings and fly?
To escape?

An occasional escapade is fine...


sometimes, don't you wish you were somebody else?

sometimes, don't you realize you're just running in circles?
Trapped in a labyrinth?


sometimes, don't you wish you could find a way out?



nevermind. I shall continue to search for my meaning in living.

So must you. :)


Reply to tags:

Valentines Special~*

Mood: loving
Music: Onigishi (triangular shaped rice ball) by San Kyoudai (yasuda, yokoyama, subaru (members of Kanjani8))

It's a miracle to have met you.


Minna,

*~HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!! ~*
May all couples stay hand in hand together forever. :D
and may all singles find their other half on this special day. <3>

(song changed to Osaka Romaneseque by Kanjani8(a very romantic song))

Today, two people will meet at a corner of the world. And a romantic story unfolds silently.

Chocolates. Chocolates. Milk chocolates. Fruits and Nuts chocolate. DARK CHOCOLATES. flowers. roses. JASMINE. haha.

in future, I would want my boyfriend to give me Dark Chocolates and Jasmine flowers. LOL! But then again, how long would I have to stay single? sigh.

Anyway, since this entry's all about valentines, I shall write some darn sweet confession lines.

"Look into my eyes. Indeed, they're small, but from now on, they can only contain you and you're the only one I'll ever see *hugs*" -Koyama

"I'm like a himawari (sunflower in japanese) because I've been looking at the sun --- you." -Ryo

"If we're trapped on a snow mountain and there's no food, no water, please eat my arm."

-Tegoshi

damn it. My heart would've melted if someone were to say the first and second line to me. As for the third one, KIMOCHIWARUI!! lolx!

alright. since this entry is all about love, I shall write about the BLACKOUT last night at my house next time. yes there was a blackout! lol.

ok. What is love?

It is the moment when a cupid shoots an arrow.













It is the moment when you reach out a hand for someone who needs it.

It is the moment when you and your friends hang out by the beach.

Or the moment of happiness shared among your friends. :)

It is the moment when you fool around with your nakama.

Or even the moment when you and your friends take awful photos. (GOSH. shige and keichan rock! :D)

It is the moment when you're hugged and lifted for the first time.

It is something we've been protecting.

And it's the kiss shared between you and your lover, which surpasses all.

and it's the moment when you learn to cherish yourself.

Whatever it may be, the most precious, most beautiful, purest, most vulnerable, most cherished, most powerful thing is

L-O-V-E. :)

Spread the love, say 'I love you' to anyone and everyone, be it you know them or not.

Even if people give you strange glances or shun you, you know that deep in their heart, they loved it.

these guys can be serious when they want to. haha. anw, their Spirits Concert performance of Osaka Romanesque.

Osaka Romanesque
Today, too, people will meet each other by (purely by) chance
Far, far away in a western city
If I fall in love, then it will begin from Midousuji
(This) elegant tale

That day we were lost
I ran (after you but) your back disappeared at Umeda Station
They said that the words of this city are crude
But I won't change (the way I speak), I'll say "I love ya"

I'll find you and embrace you
Quickly, quickly, I'll pursue you
People come to Shinsaibashi to fall in love
(This) elegant tale

You loved the gardens of Nambadidn't you?
We had fun there together
We could see (all the way to) Kobe from the ferris wheel
I believed that day would continue on

This heart of mine yearns for your face
It's probably hopeless but I do love ya after all

Where shall I go to pursue you? To Kita? Minami Ebisubashi?
I want to start this love once again from Midousuji
(This) elegant tale

I turned back towards the crosswalk, (to see you) gazing at me.
I can't forget your soft voice, time is stopping


Today, too, people will meet each other purely by chance
Far, far away in a western city
If I fall in love, then it will begin from Midousuji.
(This) elegant tale


I will find you and embrace you
Immediately, immediately, I'll pursue you
People come to Shinsaibashi to fall in love,
(This) elegant tale

Random 15~*

Mood: relaxed
Music: ALERT ALERT!!! part of ME by Ayumi Hamasaki!!! (yes the secret preview of the NEWEST NEWEST song~! not full version though. but who cares?! it sounds AWESOME! <3)

http://124.34.229.58:8080/bbs/160746/img/0053854493.3g2 (need I say more? :D)

Love is in the air...


Just 2 days away from Valentine's Day! :D



Well, who cares if we don't have bf/gf to celebrate the special day with?
There're ALWAYS friends! haha.

so all singles ayUNITE! (AHAHAHAHA ayu unite!....... oops.)

But unfortunately, I won't be seeing my friends on Valentines Day.
Cos it's still break for us. you know? the break of 6 days for us to make a decision on which school to choose?
yeah. So it's pretty sad. Just when I FINALLY decided to spend some $$ on candies for my friends, I don't get to see them. AWWW. (how come I sound evil??? xD)

Let me reply tags now. ^^

Karen: you know what? we sound REALLY les. haha.
(quote: anyway.....tonight?) hahaha. sms me when u can alright?

Rap: ... yah so hou lian pi arh? HAHA jkjk. yup. :D

Kathy: HAHAHA yah. I was damn stunned when I couldn't find my result slip la! xD

Ayumi: I feel disgusted calling you 'ayumi' la. you should just change a nickname. maybe something like 'bug' will do. the sonic game is impossible to play. it's only normal to die halfway. xD


For now, let me write something really crazy.


Random Top 15

(due to popular demands (rubbish), I'm gonna continue my random top 15!)
I'm really crappy today.


1. I used to eat really disgusting food.
One classic example which nearly thrown my friends off their feet is that I eat chui kuay (u noe? chee kuay or watever it's called) dipped in MILK.

xD

I must have been one crazy kid.


2. I've seen 789532454 flashers.
ok. not THAT many. But at least 3. and at least 5 perverts. (people with sick actions etc etc)
Normal kids would've been really traumatized by seeing flashers, but for me, I'm not really shaken.

When I was 6, I met a flasher at the void deck.
Jas: *walks home* Mum, a man just took off his shorts.
Mum: ?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!!!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!


3. I can't seem to find anyone who's as interested as me in horoscopes.
I mean, don't you guys find them intriguing? Like, how come they can tell our personalities?!

But right now, I'm more into the Japanese Blood Type Theory of Personality.

Ever heard of that?

Let's see.



What's your blood type?




Type A (ME! ME! the perfectionist)

Best Traits: Conservative, introverted, reserved, patient and punctual. Perfectionists.
Worst Traits: Obsessive, stubborn, self conscious and uptight.


Type B (the harmlessly self-centered)

Best Traits: Creative, passionate, animal loving, optimistic, flexible and individualistic.
Worst Traits: Forgetful, irresponsible, and self-centered.


Type AB (the rational)

Best Traits: Cool, controlled, rational, introverted and empathic.
Worst Traits: Aloof, critical, indecisive and unforgiving.


Type O (the ambitious)

Best Traits: Ambitious, athletic, robust and self-confident. Natural leaders.
Worst Traits: Arrogant, vain, insensitive and ruthless.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_blood_type_theory_of_personality



4. I need something new to relight my love for animes.


5. I used to write things. Lyrics, or just meaningful phrases that I suddenly thought of. But these days I'm running out of inspiration.


6. CNY is coming! Can you feel this Chinese New Year?
Can't? Just take a walk along Chinatown! (boro boro chinatown~~~~ (kanfuu fighting by Kanjani8) ahahaha.)


7. Do you have a dream that you want to fulfill?

I bet everyone does. Be it dreams such as buying a mansion or dreams such as settling down with a family of 3 or simply earn enough money to last 4 lifetimes.

I have a dream too. But right now, it just seems so vague. It seems as if once you look away for a second, you can't find it anymore. That's how things are. Once I lose track of them, they'll be gone.


8. Why can't we buy time, buy love, buy happiness?
sigh.


9. Is everyone's life like a roller coaster?
If it's so, let's just enjoy the ride.



10. It just takes one person to remember a certain something so that it will never be forgotten. Or even a certain someone, so that the person will never be forgotten. :)



11. HAHAHA. It's 12.34pm just now. :D (i hope u guys get it. lol.)



12. In your opinion, when is the most beautiful moment?

For me, definitely the moment when tears of joy trickle down your cheeks.
Laughing while crying. Having that choking feeling in your throats. Throats choked not with sadness but pride/happiness/excitement. Eyes shining with joy...


Ahh. definitely the most beautiful.



13. I wonder what is it like to dye your hair pink.

uh...no. I'm not hinting anything. haha.


14. Everyone's beautiful. :)


15. It's amazing neh? this thing called life.

one moment we might be in the drain, another moment among the stars.

there's no fixed place to be.

Because when we're down, the only way to go is up.
And when we're up, we can only go down.


Strange as it sounds, but life is indeed something that we're blessed with.
To some it might be a tragedy, to some it might be a game or joke.
But whatever it is, we have it right now.
So we can only live with it.


Let's share our moments of anguish, our moments of joy.

So that we know that, indeed, we're living. :)
