I'm in love with Shinkai Hajime, Kimura's character in his 2003 drama, Good Luck!!. He's so cute...esp when he goes "huh?" or "Haah?!" kawaii~
 
i think he was the shuaiest in the 2nd episode when he strode into the airport (when he got his 1st job after being suspended). Woah~ *wipes away drool flowing from the sides of my mouth*
 
I love it when Kimura does this 'i wanna smile but i'm suppressing it' look.....cos i watched up to the part where Shinkai and Ogawa (the girl) told each other in a subtle way that they liked each other.

Shinkai, who was sitting on the bench, got up and walked to towards Ogawa with that exact 'i wanna smile but i'm suppressing it' look...and he totally stole my heart with that....

He's always waking up late!! It's quite duh cos this is a really unimaginative way of trying to make the show funny. Cynical thoughts aside, the one 'waking-up-late' scene i like is the one where he rolls off his bed and then sits up by instinct. He narrows his eyes at his clock and stares stupidly at it for like 2 seconds. Then he goes,"Oh shit i'm late." Far-nee!
 
Hehz...shall finish it up on fri...Muahahahaz

Takuya
You are Takuya Kimura! You are the most well-known
guy in Japan right now! You are a sexy actor,
too. You appreciate fans but also want your
privacy because everyone has their eyes on you.
You are pretty serious about your career like
the others, as well as unique. You can't help
but be noticed.

Juz now, I came across a letter to the ST forum by this woman who's a 3rd party in a marriage. Sigh...it's really sad. I think that in love and relationships, there's no absolute right/wrong. If these pple are genuinely in it for love, it's not really their fault cos it's not like they had a choice. (obviously the couple would have chose to meet b4 one of them got hitched right). It's all bad-timing i guess....
 
Ok, so here's a rather apt song from the point of view of "the other woman":
 
Saving All My Love For You
by Whitney Houston

A few stolen moments is all that we share
You've got your family, and they need you there
Though I've tried to resist, being last on your list
But no other man's gonna do
So I'm saving all my love for you

It's not very easy, living all alone
My friends try and tell me, find a man of my own
But each time I try, I just break down and cry
Cause I'd rather be home feeling blue
So I'm saving all my love for you

You used to tell me we'd run away together
Love gives you the right to be free
You said be patient, just wait a little longer
But that's just an old fantasy
I've got to get ready, just a few minutes more
Gonna get that old feeling when you walk through that door
For tonight is the night, for feeling alright
We'll be making love the whole night through
So I'm saving all my love
Yes I'm saving all my love
Yes I'm saving all my love for you

No other woman, is gonna love you more
Cause tonight is the night, that I'm feeling alright
We'll be making love the whole night through
So I'm saving all my love
Yeah I'm saving all my love
Yes I'm saving all my love for you
For you, for you 
Music of the mo': Here We Are Again from Long Vacation OST
 
Arrrghhh.....i'm going crazy here...everytime my mind is free my imagination goes wild and i'll start thinking abt romance btwn me and Kimura or btwn Eve and Sven (characters from Blackcat)...baka baka bakaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Sianz....i really don't feel like geting down to work...dunno why but i'm always keeping the 'real' things to the last....i always like to 'tao2 bi4' from my problems (like my studies. And today's chem pract was like shit....titrated like 5 times for the 1st part!!!! Arrghhh.....i'm always so damn slow!!! CCA pts are like shit oso). I seek solace in my imagination cos it's the only place where i can haf absolute control. Scenes can change in a flash, characters can enter or exit whenever i want, things that are impossible in reality come to life in my mind...But in my heart i'm really disappointed that i keep sinking into the comfort of my imaginary utopia and choosing to stay there. Grrrr....
 
Deep inside me, i know that this path will lead to madness and tears but.....
 
\(^-^)/ Yay! Was really high ytd cos i bought a magazine (Poporo August 2004, if u wanna know) with great pics of Kimura Takuya in it!!!!!!!  MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA~ He's voicing Howl in the new Miyazaki Hayao animation film called "Hauru no Ugoku Shiro" (Howl's Moving Castle). Howl is a magician who owns the castle that can move to different worlds. This film is based on a book of the same name and it's gonna be released in Japan in fall 2004.
 
Ok pple, case closed on Z liao ok....dun like him anymore....I think he n his gf look really nice together!
 
Bought the 50 First Dates OST some time back. The ost comprises 12 love songs that are all easy on the ears. My favourites include "Friday, I'm in Love" (cute/upbeat song), "Love Song", "Every Breath You Take" (nice!), "Drive"(kinda melancholic). The OST is not really worth it but Shuang Han u should still catch that show! (if for nothing else but Sean Astin aka Sam Gamgee in LOTR ^-^)
 
Juz finished watching Sleepy Hollow (courtesy of Tina). The plot was ok. When the truth was discovered, i was like, "So what?" (But maybe that's cos i'm confused abt the story)  My favourite shots were when the Headless Horseman rode out from the Tree of the Dead (imagine dead leaves rustling & rushing about the horse's hooves. So cool!) and when Ichabod (Johnny Depp) looked down at Katrina (Christina Ricci) after the whole mystery was resolved. i love when pple look downwards!
 
The gadgets were suspiciously reminiscent of Edward Scissorhands though.....actually the whole movie had this 'Edward Scissorhands' feel to it....the props, the direction at certain parts (Tina: remember the scene where young Ichabod danced with his mother in this fantasically pretty garden, with snowflakes falling about them. )....It felt like an excuse to showcase those props all over again. =P
 
Johnny Depp's acting was good though! Btw Arts Central is screening a Johnny Depp interview next mon at 11pm. (Why do i get the feeling u are rolling ur eyes?!Roll lah...later they roll out of ur head out then u know!) Heh hehz....i changed my desktop wallpaper to a Johnny Depp pic...(Previously Kimura was on my desktop) Wait a sec...Johnny Depp really looks Sven here! (which is the reason why i liked Sven in the first place)  
 
This pic has a very earthy tone, everything is in a shade of brown. Johnny Depp is seated at this antique-looking brown piano and he's in this white singlet that shows off his arm and the tattoos on it. His hair is pretty long and unruly and he's sporting a goatee. His head is rested on the piano and he's smoking a cigar and looking right at you thru the camera.
 
Gosh that pair of gou1 hun2 yan3!!!!!! Nvm that you haf a wife & 2 kids, I'm ready to leave with u any moment....
 
Ok...conclusion is that after this wkend, i shall steer clear of the Internet/manga/TV/going out/Imagining stuff...that is not to say i cannot have 'me' time but i think music is a better way to relax. Imagining stuff makes u....well, imagine stuff...and once i get an idea, i won't stop fantasizing until every bit of that idea has been explored...and this is known to paralyse my mind from any serious thought for inordinate amounts of time =P But i'm not going to stop watching movies (gd ones, at least) cos some movies can be pretty insightful (eg Supersize Me).
 
Good luck to all for Prelims~!!!
 
Study ur ass off & Take care!!!!!

Since Weiz brought up Kimura Takuya, i shall tell u pple abt my Kimura dream. *sHr|ekZ*

I dreamt that Kimura was an arts promoter. He was promoting arts outside a building at the corner of the sidewalk. In my dream, he was standing at the pavement, with paintings an arts and crafts plastered/hung on the exterior wall of the building. He talking to this teenager when i saw him. "This is shading." He pointed to a picture on the wall drawn and shaded in pencil. He was clad in a deep blue suit. Forgot abt the hair...ok watever. Not impt. After much hesitation, i gu3 qi3 yong3 qi4, went up to him and said, "Kimi no koto ga suki." Hahahahaha!!!!! Loosely translated it means, "I like you" (i love you/i'm interested in you). I explained that i liked him in his dramas, etc...but b4 he could reply, i woke up.

DAMN!

I think songs from the 60s and 70s are more romantic and dong4 ting1 than the mainstream pop songs nowadays. Those super ancient 1920s songs oso....They're super super romantic compared to the technologically engineered junk that pop churns out nowadays. Love those 70s disco songs! They really make u feel like getting up & grooving on the dance floor!! Check out the song below!!!! ;D

Don't Leave Me This Way
by Thelma Houston

Don't leave me this way
I can't survive
I can't stay alive
Without your love, oh baby
Don't leave me this way, no
I can't exist,
I'll surely miss
Your tender kiss
Don't leave me this way

Oh baby, my heart is full of love and desire for you
Now come on down and do what you've got to do
You started this fire down in my soul
Now can't you see it's burning, out of control
Come on and satisfy the need in me
'Cause only your good lovin' can set me free

Don't, don't you leave me this way, no
Don't you understand
I'm at your command
Oh baby please, please don't leave me this way, no baby
Don't leave me this way, no
I can't survive
I can't stay alive
without your love
baby, don't leave me this way

Oh baby, my heart is full of love and desire for you

So come on down and do what you've got to do
You've started this fire down in my soul
Now can't you see it's burning, out of control
So come on satisfy, the need in me

Cause only your good lovin' can set me free
I need your lovin' baby, need it, need it
Satisfy, the need in me, satisfy the need in me
Hey, hey baby come on satisfy the need in me
Baby, come on satisfy the need in me
Don't leave me this way, don't leave me this way
No, don't leave me this way, no don't leave me this way, baby
Don't leave me, don't leave me this way, baby

Ryuichi


Which W-inds. Member Are You?
brought to you by Quizilla

Ryuichi's really shuai, isn't he??? Heh heh actually i cheated on that quiz...haha....watever, as long as i haf Ryuichi on my blog ;P (i got Keita at first)


Z spoke to me today...bikkurishita (was kinda shocked)...Wake up, Baofei! HE'S ATTACHED HE'S ATTACHED HE'S ATTACHED HE'S ATTACHED HE'S ATTACHED HE'S ATTACHED HE'S ATTACHED HE'S ATTACHED HE'S ATTACHED HE'S ATTACHED HE'S ATTACHED HE'S ATTACHED HE'S ATTACHED HE'S ATTACHED!

Felt good though...like, when u're approached by someone who could be a new friend...sore dake (only that).

Wednesday, July 07, 2004

Gosh i had a stoopid dream last night. I dreamt that Z and i are together. And in reality he already has a girlfriend lah...wth...

In my dream, i was the 3rd party. Like, i went out with him knowing fully well that he's attached. In one vivid scene, we were on the escalator going down and cos he's kinda short, i stood one step below his. I was leaning backwards into his chest and he had his arms wrapped around my shoulders. When i woke up i was like, WAT THE HELL???!!!!!

But dun worry folks, i don't like him anymore. I may have had hao3 gan3 towards him at the start of last yr but since he got attached, i've already moved on. (I swear!) No point in giving urself heartache right. Better to stop b4 any strong feelings develop. Anyway he seems happy so...All the best to them!

In the dream, i actually felt that (weird) exhilaration of having a 'forbidden' relationship, like being with someone u shouldn't/dating on the sly.....That happiness laced with uncertainty...That sadness eating at you from the bottom of your heart(cos the relationship will never work out)..And that adrenaline rush(of doing sth you shouldn't)...It's quite exciting, really.

Perhaps it's linked to my liking Kimura cos he's like married with 2 kids, no less. Dating him would be a nothing short of (a dream come true!) a catastrophe...the media hoo-ha...our families...gazillion Kimura Takuya fans all over the world...

And you wonder why Rebecca Loos slept with Beckham.


Ok, now here's a really apt song which i happened to be listening to:

I Don't Wanna Know
by Mario Winans

Somebody said they saw you
The person you were kissing wasn't me
And I would never ask you
I just kept it to myself

I don't wanna know
If your playin me, keep it on the low
Cause my heart can't take it anymore
And if your creepin, please don't let it show
Oh baby, I don't wanna know

Oh baby
I think about it when I hold you
When lookin in your eyes, I can't believe
I don't need to know the truth
Baby keep it to yourself

I don't wanna know
If your playin me, keep it on the low
Cause my heart can't take it anymore
And if your creepin, please don't let it show
Oh baby, I don't wanna know


Note: Pls don't take offence at me mentioning Kimura liberally in this blog. This mangakan-wannabe's imagination juz got a little out of hand, that's all.

Wedding songs

Chemistry's Kimi ni Okurimono and Kinki Kids' Mou Kimi Igai Aisenai would make very nice wedding songs i think. Hmmm.... a good couple song would be Songbird by Eva Cassidy.

Can anyone pls help me burn cds? I have the songs in my comp but my d drive seems unable to burn the cd...arrghhh..
Yay! This wkend is damn packed...but I LIKE IT!!!! Muahahahaha~~~~~~~~~~~

Post-Common Test Engagement 1: Outing with Samantha

Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Really had fun today.....Took damn nice neoprints. (my sis said i actually looked thin! *LoOks Of dIsBeLiEf* ok muz go back to that machine next time...) The nicest neoprint is the one where we both clutched our shirts and closed out eyes juz like Halu (Kimura's character) did in Pride. And I muz say, we did look cool ;D The other one that i like is the one i decorated (halfway) with the caption 'Halu Love' cos 1) i din look so fat, 2) the caption pays tribute to our love for Halu, 3) and 'Halu Love' was a quintissential Japan-made English slogan which incorporates Japanese grammar into English (like putting the verb at the end of the sentence)

Ate at Crepes N Cream at Heeren (the food was ok...actually it was a bit too salty and the dessert was too sweet...oh nvm); walked around heeren, bot a pair of blue star-shaped stud earrings (samantha's to-buy list grew longer ;P); stayed damn long at mise and finally bot 1 ryuichi photo(yay!) and 4 kimura photos(YAY!YAY!). When i was leaving heeren, guess who i saw?!!!!!! Weber, oops i mean Wei Bin, with some nj pple including Aloysius. Was quite shocked but watever.

After that, samantha and i went to Taka and tried clothes at Armani exchange. =D I tried on this black A-line skirt and tot it looked gd but it costs $199!!!!! I nearly fainted right there in the dressing room (which samantha and i din know how to lock initially cos there was no bolt or anything near the door handle. Like what the hell?!!. But then the smart girl found the bolt - on the righthand corner of the upper length of the door. So pple, next if u intend to try clothes armani exchange, pls rmb to push the little metal handle at the top right hand corner of the door towards the right to lock the door.)

The next stop was Topshop (i met shu hui and lianne along the way there), where i tried on this dress (only 36 bucks, thanks for being kind to my heart) and this cheerleading-style skirt. Guess what? the dress was too large for me. The hem of the dress was like close to reaching my ankle lah! *dO|nGz* But the skirt ("oh, the skirt" as wei wei would have put it) was SUPER NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!! KAWAII!!!!!!!! It's pleated and damn short and it's yellow, dotted with green bubbles!!!!!! It's super cute lah!!! But it costs 66 bucks O_O

Nvm, shall save up for it. After that, we went to the wisma food court and sat there for damn long, tokking and making future/post-A Level plans and shopping lists.

We eventually talked abt dieting cos we both want to diet but the only thing stopping us is the rationale for it. It's like, why shud we care hat the media/other pple think? As long as u love urself, u shud juz stay as you are. Like, at the end of the day, won't u feel stoopid getting in shape juz becoz u're scared of what others think of u or that no guys will like you??? Like, huh??? For most pple, it's "Look good, feel good." But don't you think it should be "Feel good, look good"? As long as u feel good abt urself, u'll look fine watever shape u are. Sighz...but i understand this is very hard to achieve for most pple. Or maybe it's juz an excuse used by fat pple like me who can't be bothered to lose that damn weight.

What i think is, vanity existed right from the moment humans came into being cos we needed to look good to attract a mate and reproduce. But today, this instinct to look attractive still remains, even though the rationale for it has been long buried under work/studies/Kimura Takuya/music/physics/Euro 2004 Portugal and forgotten by most.
(Ja, i shall succumb to my instincts)

Went for a walk with my sis after watching 'The Apprentice' (ie at 11pm). We walked for half an hr when the folks got worried so we returned home. Then i cycled on the exercise bike (If u're thinking it's new cos i've ever never mentioned it in my blog, u're wrong. Actually it's already been in my hse for a few mths, juz that i've never used it for serious exercise b4 ;P) for another 30mins. YOSH~! Feeling super accomplished.....heh heh though i did adjust the weight on the wheels to a suitably (ahem!) low level.

Shit...was supposed to get Samantha to send me the Pride OST over the net but i forgot....

To Samantha: Hey! Thx for ur Good Luck and Hero... Muahahahahaha... shall savour them slowly...Glad to meet up you wif u after so long. Finally we can zai4 xu4 our liang2 yuan2 liaoz....haha...We've been separated since sec 2 but somehow that bond (of frenship) is still there. Bimyo da ne!!! Of course, i'm always happy to gain back a lost fren. Sorry that i doubted ur motivations but now that everything is out in the open, I defintely trust u k!!! *hUgz* Ja, we muz continue supporting Kimura Takuya~ YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Yay! =D Am looking forward to PCTE 2: Class Trip to Sentosa~
