Crazy for once



After one more tear, muster the encouragement from everyone and ready up for the time when these wishes will come true.
I believe in it therefore you shouldn't give up either
No matter how many times, raise your hands towards the sky
Full lyrics


This song couldn't be more apt to describe what I'm feeling tonight. Came across it while I was watching Funky Monkey Babys singing to encourage victims of the Earthquake on Music Station last week. I don't know any of their songs but while I was watching them, I did felt encouraged along with the lyrics. They sang it with so much force. Cho genki spirited song.

Thanks for the push Tweng san :)

元気出せ!

失敗した時、悲しい時、寂しい時にスマップの歌聴くと元気が出る。スマップの歌はすごくポジティフ エンネルキがあります。それの頑張ってのスピリットは大好きです。その頑張ってのきもちはわすれないで、明日、明後日もう、宿題は本当に頑張ってみます。

Haven't been writing in Japanese for a while, wonder if it's correct. Well as long as I can understand it's good enough heh.

自由是不务正业?

Right now this project I'm working on has a lot of freedom, I kinda miss the days when my old profs take some control and say no or start scolding. That always perk me up, though it sounds rather wrong. Maybe I'm spoilt now that I should learn how to be independent for making decisions on my own projects.

If it's only when we like something then we'll do well in it, wouldn't it be nice if we like whatever that comes our way. Say I "like" math! I "like" xxx project! I "like" essays! If it's so easy to like, like the facebook "like" button, the world would be a much better place eh. I wonder what triggers us to "like" something in the first place. It also seems my "like" threshold has gone up as well over the years getting exposed to more beautiful things. So ya, I'm trying to develop more feelings for my project now.

The reserved fangirl

I've never even dare to think that SMAP would ever one day come to Singapore. It was just impossible, the JE boys seldom step out of Japan for concerts or anything like that. But they came! The five of them came; to shoot a SoftBank commercial.

When my friend called me to tell me about it, I was checking my emails. I even thought I heard wrongly, SMAP in Singapore? 本当に?!I think I really feel honoured that S'pore built Marina Bay Sands to be picked by Japan's Mobile giant SoftBank to shoot a commercial here.

An example of the latest SoftBank SMAP ad:

I've always liked their ads, SMAP or no SMAP. (But of course I'm speaking from a bias fangirl view now) The quality of their ads are always top notch and creative. Look at this crazy ad, flying containers? and with auto stacking abilities upon the press of the button? Mad fun!

Now SoftBank ad with dog (no SMAP)
The dog is the Dad of the family while the guy bathing him is his son. The dog was a guy before until some accident turned him into a dog? Not too sure about that but the series of advertisement revolves around its family, he has a human wife, a black japanese speaking son, and a daughter who works at SoftBank. Crazy idea ain't it but it's funny and highly interesting. That's why I'm so thrilled they're shooting their ad here.

Anyway back to the topic of SMAP, I guess I'm contented knowing that they came and have probably left by now. My lucky coursemate managed to spot him shopping in MBS surrounded by guards from a distance. That's just super lucky. Well I hope they come again, and when I really do meet them in person, I hope I'd be the one in charge designing their shoot. HOHOHO. *ok let me dream for a while*
