Song: Domino
by: girugamesh

Went out of school with Amin, Cavin, Shar and Tas for lunch but Seri and me didnt eat anything. Went back home after that because of the sweltering weather and then took a nap after my shower till 7.

My hands are feeling itchy so i decided to make this scan more pwetty (for my viewing pleasure).


attic (or rather, Jun [Guitar] ex-Phantasmagoria) is <3>

Scans are taken from his latest single =)
One thing i really love about him is his HAIR....it's always so pwetty and bright pink when i see him, even during his days in Phantasmagoria. I almost believed he wore wig for every photoshoot because as far as i can remember, his hair was always the same pink, styled almost exactly the same...but i'm not complaining. It's nice. xD

Wanted to do some editing to this scan but i decided against it 'cause i have a feeling i'll somehow destroy the look. HAHA

Somehow his hairstyle here looks better than the top one :D ♥

Anyway, one horrible thing i have discovered: I think Wizard is edging more towards to Oshare Kei. Well, it might not be a bad thing but i was laughing the whole way while watching their Baby Dragstar PV. THEY LOOK DAMN BRIGHT AND HAPPY AND COLOURFUL. And not forgetting the PV being random.

Anyway, ever seen visual kei guys in their FULL COSTUME riding a bike and playing ball?

I thought this was hilarious.
What a sight....if i were anywhere near their filming location, i would have laughed my ass off. Oh dear oh dear...my Wizard........

Now at school lab.
Didn't sleep well last night.
I think i slept at around 2+?
Woke up and wait for sleep to kick in but it didn't work.
So basically woke up before my mum did then leave house at 7.15 for the stupid 8 am lesson.

I can't stand it!
Rick's droning on!!!!!!
I want sleep!
Cannot tahan!

Somehow, i can sense it's gg for this term =.=

Song: Together Again
by: mink

*gasps*
I'm listening to pop?
Ok, maybe i over-generalise....i don't listen to pop much unless i hear a pop song on anime and i managed to convince myself that i like that song. Only then i'll listen =)
This song is no exception....it's the ending theme for the upcoming (upcoming or already showing) 3D anime showing in Singapore: Vexille
Went to read the plot over at animenewsnetwork.com....sounds pretty good but it's sort of science fiction and i don't think i'll watch unless i come across it in youtube.

Together Again is a typical pop song (i think) but the main thing is that it is sung by a female and i do't really listen to female vocals. Well i like her voice, it's not overly high pitch - or i should say it's not even high-pitched at all...it's quite low and charming. I love that kind of female vocals (but not Koda Kumi please) and the chorus is nice, a bit sad, haunting.
So overall, this song is GOOD. Together Again has the highest recommendation from a person who don't really like pop music. Whoot! I'm still not planning to trade my rock taste for pop yet...not anytime in the near future. But whatever it is, rock music will always have a special place in my heart.

Ok enough of rants. Bye for now.

Song: Calm Envy
by: the GazettE

Nothing eventful happened today. Went out to get myself some cd covers from Popular but when i came back home and check out that thing, i felt cheated because i am supposed to take out the 'jacket' from the upper part before i use it and it looked as though my cd cover is half-naked =.=


And five months later, i FINALLY warmed up to Stacked Rubbish, though i still dont like the first 2 tracks where it sounded rappish *shudders*

Song: Kakusei Heroism ~the Hero Without a Name~
by: AnCafe

Urg! I can't believe i'm trying AnCafe out!!!!!!!!! But Kakusei Heroism ~the Hero Without a Name~ is sort of nice...not too happy, and besides, it's the 2nd opening to the anime Darker than Black. Seriously, that anime is bloody nice. When i say nice here, i don't mean it can be compared with D.Gray-Man or Bleach.
The humour is not like that kind of anime...and i felt some sense of despair in Darker than Black..haha what can you expect from an emo girl like me?

Anyway i was going through my camera pictures when i realised i had some pictures of my hamters that i havent upload to my laptop. Just to share =)


The baby hamsters: the 3 girls

The baby hamsters: the only boy

The babies' mummy

The babies' daddy

The babies' uncle

The mummy, daddy and uncle photos were extremely hard to get 'cause they are always moving around and getting excited when they see a camera lens, especially their daddy. So i can only take his picture when he is sleeping, but the way he sleep is damn cute can? he always like to sleep in the open =)

Bye~

Song: Hoshikuzu
by: Dali

Well, i managed to fix the sidebar but i cheated. I wanted to use coding to solve the problem but i guess that part was too difficult, so in the end i used images. Well at least it turned up good.

As promised, here are the pictures.

My cousin and her groom.

My cousin (the bride's sister) and her son.

Isn't he cute?

My first glass of red wine.

lol my sis shy.

Cousins again =)

More aunts, uncle and cousins. And my cousin's fiancee (on the right side)

Hahaha don't knwo why i took so many pictures (ok, not really a lot, but a lot for my standards). Too much energy from the red wine i guess. OMG i think there will be a lot of weddings in my family in these few years. I can hear one bell ringing in my father's side...and not forgetting two more cousins from my mother's side. gg =)

Song: Ash
by: THE.LAST

Changed my blogskin. <3
I almost vomitted blood scanning through the archives in jrock_scans thinking what bands look good against white background.
And Miyavi almost made it to the header, until i came across this magazine scans.
Isn't it heart-warming to see different bands coming together for a photoshoot? And more importantly, they are not under the same label anymore, especially Phantasmagoria has disbanded.
This was taken because of their "graduation" from UnderCode.

Haha...sorry for the crapy picture editing, but at least i managed to merge two scans into one picture somehow.
Felt sorry for Tooru 'cause his face like kena cut off a bit (and no, that is not the start of another scan) =\
And my oh my, i was sooooooooo glad that Riku, Jui, Kisaki and Wataru stayed at the bottom. Just look at their hair *_____________*

I wasted quite a lot of time just by edting the picture because i was stupid. I kept forgetting to put new layer and when i realised it, i was like half-way through and i had to redo it.
Quite satisfied for the codings because i took some of the codes meant for livejournal blog and i transferred it over so blogger could recognised it. Quite a painful process too because it seems like codes for livejournal only consisted of codes looking nothing similar to blogger types.

But one thing i cant do, is to make the side bar stretch with the posts. I think we can't use pure html or CSS alone to do that. I read somewhere that Javascript is required to do that o.O

Anyway, went for my cousin's wedding dinner yesterday. Too much to blog now. Shall post the pictures that i took later.

Bye.

Song: mind forest
by: Gackt

Went all the way to Jurong to carry my CPU back from my cousin's house yesterday.
Rained like shit yesterday and for once i thought we will be stranded in Jurong until-heaven-knows-when.
Luckily it stopped around 7 and off we went.
Arm almost broke off while walking from Tampines MRT to the bus interchange.
But with the help from some unknown force in the heaven, me and my sis managed to get home smoothly, with the bus coming quick and not many people on the bus.
Thank heaven for that.

Now having muscle ache in my left arm. Don't know how i survived the journey back home from Jurong also.
Anyway, YEA! Finally i get the laptop back all to myself AGAIN =)

Lyrics for Dress, taken from gendou.com

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kanji

鏡の前で君とまどろむ
薄紅の指先
その手は不意に弱さを見せて
唇を塞いだ
あのひ君と約束を交わした
今は二人思い出せずに

退屈な歌に耳を傾け窓の外見つめる
僕はDRESSを纏踊って見せよう
狂ってる会教えて
いつかかぜにさらわれてゆくだろう
今は二人想い出せず。。。woah

僕はなぜ風のように雲のように
あの空へと浮かぶ
羽がないなぜ
星のように月のように全て包む
あの夜へと沈む
羽がない。。。ああ。。

忘れないで愛溢れたあの日々
君の顔も思い出せずに
いつか風に書き消されてゆくだろう
いまは二人思い出せず。。。woah

僕はなぜ風のように雲のように
あの空へと浮かぶ
羽がないなぜ
星のように月のように全て包む
あの夜へと沈む
羽がない。。。ああ。。。

僕はなぜ風のように雲のように
あの空へと浮かぶ
羽がないなぜ
この愛も
この傷も
懐かしい
今は愛しくて
痛み出す。。。ああ。

English

In front of the mirror, I doze off with you, your fingertips light pink
Your hand unconsciously showed me its weakness, and you shut your lips
That day, we exchanged promises
And now, we’re together, without remembering

Your ears are bored by a tedious song, and you gaze out of the window
Shall I put on the dress and dance for you? Am I crazy? Please tell me
Someday, maybe, we’ll be caressed by the wind
And now, we’re together, without remembering

Why can’t I float into the sky like the wind, like the clouds? I don't have wings, Why?
Like the stars, like the moon, I have no wings enfolding everything and sinking into the night, ah...

Don’t forget those days that overflowed with love
Without even remembering your face
Someday, maybe, I'll be erased by the wind
And now, we’re together, without remembering


Why can’t I float into the sky like the wind, like the clouds? I don't have wings, Why?
Like the stars, like the moon, I have no wings enfolding everything and sinking into the night, ah...

Why can’t I float into the sky like the wind, like the clouds? I don't have wings, Why?
This love and these scars are so dear
Now, they poignantly begin to ache, ah…

Because i'm bored =\

Song: Kimi to Mita Yuki
by: Duel Jewel

Went shopping today. Bought my dress for the wedding dinner this coming sunday. Nothing too formal. Some sort of "punk" dress from Blood Romance. Tried those lolita dress too. LOL, don't look good on me. ONLY punk works on me =)
Bought choker (is that how it is spelt?) for sis to compliment her gothic lolita dress that cost me $40. Lastly, bought me myself hand gloves ^^

Maybe i dont have the talent to shop. Trying on the different clothes DID really tire me out. Now thinking back, i feel like buying one more pair of hand gloves, but a different one. I bought the white and black strips. I should also have bought the black and red strips, then can mx and wear. But i think it was good thing i didnt buy because that will also meant that i wont have money to buy choker for sis?

Anyways, changed my phone on sunday, from flip to slide ONLY because they dont have any filps that was on promotion. My new phone is Nokia 5610.
Erm...can anyone tell me if Nokia 5610 is a relatively new model cause i saw that phone being advertised in a lot of places in Orchard today =\

This Promotional Video is for Zann who loves the song Artman so much :)



Don't ask me why there is a dog in the PV. Jrock videos are sometimes weird. Anyway, the PV started by showing Yasuno, the drummer of Kra. You can't see it but Yasuno actually has bright pink hair =)

The rest of the band members are not really shown until 1.37. And boom! We see Keiyuu, the one behind the strong vocals despite his height (the shortest among the 4 of them) ^^

Enjoy!

Song: Tsuioku no Kiseki
by: Duel Jewel

Ok. Done with Trinity Blood. Quite disappointed with the fact there is no season 2 as the ending is left hanging. Ok, not totally but i wished there was an answer if Cain lost or the Order got destroyed....something like that.

Anyways, got 12012 and Duel Jewel albums. 12012 sounds good...but i've not totally warm up to it yet because i listened it without concentrating much on it.
Quite happy with Duel Jewel's mini-album. Every song is love <3
Man...Hayato does sounds good in every song!

On another note, term break has started. So...looking forward to it? Going out on monday to shop!!! Hahahaha! YEA!

Song: Dress (bloody trinity mix)
by: Buck-Tick

Choinging Trinity Blood now. Total episodes: 24. Current episode: 22.

Wee~there's a lot of shuai ge (literally handsome guys) in it. Not the hunky types though. Those long-haired types. Those i would associate with yaoi animes. =)
O yea, there's also a Kanda-look alike in Trinity Blood!
Hahaha but i think that guy a bit turn off. Kanda better.

TACKEY & TSUBASA



Haha! Nah, it wasn't about them in general but the headlines set me thinking: Of all the boybands in Johnny's Entertainment or even the whole Japan. Why them?

And the title of the headlines was: Skinny is in for Japanese guys.

Did i mentioned that the picture Life! took was 3 years ago? And from their single cover somemore! So much for "is in". As far as i can remember, they have always looked THAT THIN even before their debut, eg before 2002.
Hahaha, so i guess this shows how "far-sighted" Johnny's Entertainment is?

Ahh~heck care!
I'm damn happy to see them in the newspaper, not to mention that picture is pretty big. Not just one squashed, small picture at the bottom. ^^

For those who are interested, it's on page 28 of today's Life! =)

Song: GOOD BYE
by: hide

Just some updates.
Went out with sec friends to Seoul Garden for dinner on Wednesday. It felt great to see them again =)
Dinner was ok. And they talked a lot.
Haha...envy those JC peeps. They are on holidays now. Some already got jobs and are working.

Me being me, i didn't really talk much during that time partly because i had no mood to talk (thinking about deadlines was enough to kill my mood), and i just came from school doing WAD. Besides these excuses, i don't normally talk when i'm eating. So sorry guys if i seemed anti-social. (well, part of me IS anti-social haha)
Poor Ping May though, she was stuck in the traffic jam and by the time she came, we already finished our dinner. Then she had to come for nothing D=

Cheers girl, didn't see you for that long. Hope you are doing fine =)

That was Wednesday.
Nothing happened much on Thursday so i shall skip that.

Today?
I had my CDS presentation on Bertolt Brecht's alienation technique. Well, i must admit it was quite interesting to do research on the subject and the presentation was OK for me. Not a bad job done by all the group members. But it got quite scary when Paul started asking us questions. The answers i gave.....let's just say my mind was full of HCI crap from Thrusday night and when i answered him, i found myself not understanding what i said. Hahaha!

Anway, after that, went to finish off HCI and many thanks to yh and shellen who helped me. My mind was so full of HCI and my CDS crap that i couldn't process instructions on my mind. =\
Hell, i think my level of understanding English is dropping by the day.

Sis and mum had gone out shopping, leaving me alone in this dark house eating my dinner - instant cup noodle.
Hahaha...i can't describe how much i love times like this. It feels great to be alone. Like leaving in isolation. Hahaha, ok i'm going to digress. If i don't stop now, i'll probably talk something related to being emo.

So bye for now.

Song: Doubt & Trust
by: access

Doubt & Trust: the song that i'm currently addicted to. And it's the latest opening to D.Gray-Man.
Well, access is not really a rock group duo...more electronic or trance. Think T.M Revolution (because Daisuke Asakura is in access). For thos ewho dont know who the hell is T.M Revolution but do watch Gundam Seed, he's the who sang the first opening: Invoke.
The one behind the name T.M Revolution? Nishikawa Takanori.
Takanori's latest rock project?
Bingo.
Abingdon Boys School.

Talking about Daisuke Asakura, he was actually in T.M Revolution with Takanori T.M Revolution's early days. Well except the name is not really T.M Revolution....something along that line but can't remember what is it called.


THOSE WHO WATCH D. GRAY-MAN SHOULD SERIOUSLY WATCH THE PV OF DOUBT & TRUST.
THOSE TWO GUYS ARE DAMN COOL CAN. ESPECIALLY DAISUKE ASAKURA.
He's not the one on vocals, he's on the keyboard and when i watched the PV, i was soooo happy, because of his hair.
I LOVE HIS HAIR.
IT'S SOOOO WHITE. AND HE STYLE IT PERFECTLY.
And the music is catchy, of course =D
Not to mention the lyrics. I think it's poetic.

Well, i shall post their PV sometime. =)


EDIT: here it is ^^


I just love Daisuke Asakura's clothes. Seriously, the way he played the keyboard is x_x
In case you are wondering why D.A is featured so often, i think he's the one who composed most of access's songs =)

Song: Gensoukyoku -Eternal Silence- (Orgel version)
by: Phantasmagoria

Today's meeting was fun. Time passed quickly...i don't know how we were able to talk for half and hour straight.

Came back home feeling very tired, but didn't feel like sleeping.

Wee~tomorrow don't have to wake up at 6! No lessons tomorrow! But have to go back to school to do the bloody WAD. Sigh.

Watch out people, virus are spreading again =(

Song: Sacrifice (Last Confused Mix)
by: Sakurai Atsushi

Just finished watching Longinus, a very short movie starring Sakurai Atsushi! =D
Haha, i'm a happy fangirl now...if only everyone in Buck-Tick had acted in it, instead of Atsushi alone. =(
Can't believe it. Another JRocker actually acted? Hahha, and surprisingly, it has the same genre as Moon Child. So that makes 3 Jrockers that has acted in vampire-related movie.
But i gotta admit i prefer Gackt and HYDE's Moon Child.
It's more sad. More emo. Especially the song.
Hell, i cried like an idiot when i reached the ending, the part where Orenji no Taiyou came in. Man, Gackt and HYDE should make more songs together.

Anyway, Atsushi was sooooooooo cool in it. <3
I was laughing the whole way through. Seriously, what's with him acting cool?
I love Atsushi's voice when he's singing...his talking voice doesn't sound too bad either! I really salute Buck-Tick. They have been going on since 1987 (if i'm not wrong) and they are still at it! They just released some sort of album to celebrate their anniversary (hahaa something like that...can't remember also) and those songs are good!

Man i could go on and on but i dont really feel like writing now...gotta take my black nails off before sleeping. Really, i have this urge to wear my black nails to tuesday's CMSK2 but i think i' gonna fail in the "Looking formal and professional" section. They don't tolerate gothic-looking nails, do they? The most they go for will be a French Manicure.
Oo spare me.
