13 Things That Annoyed Me Recently

Posted in: 2011 posts | Blog Meme | Delayed Rebellious Phase (Cringeworthy) | NaBloPoMo | No Mood | Ohno Satoshi 大野智 | University | University: Year 3

Another attempt :P


  1. Juniors who disrespect her senior(s) openly in Adv Math tutorial class.
  2. Hardworking, proud, over-confident but clearly lack of thinking skills juniors.
  3. My sleepiness in class.
  4. Waking up late in the noon.
  5. Procrastinating piano practice.
  6. Thick noodles.
  7. Lack of space in my phone (too many apps :D)
  8. No reply from my usual MU voucher reseller. Dead?
  9. No time to sing Arashi songs' karaoke version (LOL).
  10. Haven't watched last week's Shiyagare "Unaired Clips SP" episode.
  11. No new episodes of 「VS嵐」 and「 ひみいつの嵐ちゃん」until October 20th.
  12. No Ohno dorama this year.
  13. YesAsia haven't update their catalogue (Need to pre-order 「迷宮ラブソング」fast before the price increases again) UPDATED!


***in bold : just happened today.

Thursday makes me uneasy...

Posted in: 2011 posts | Delayed Rebellious Phase (Cringeworthy) | NaBloPoMo | No Mood | University | University: Year 3

THURSDAYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!



Adv Math class today was... like my class a year ago.

What happened? Did the juniors hit the wall already in the third week?

But can't blame them too... the topic taught has reached the difficult parts. I remembered having a blank mind every time I entered class after this particular topic. IT WAS HARD TO UNDERSTAND...if you don't study.


I actually picked the Monday session for Adv Math's Tutorial class... then today I decided to change to Thursday session..which is AFTER my Discrete Math class. 

A longer Thursday for a class-free Monday? 
YES, PLEASE.

Tutorial Class

Posted in: 2011 posts | Delayed Rebellious Phase (Cringeworthy) | NaBloPoMo | Personal Thoughts | University | University: Year 3


I woke up late today. Had less than an hour left before I go to campus. Was awaken by strong wind and rain hitting my windows at 4.30++am... then went back to sleep two hours later. Lol.

I hate getting up late... almost decided not go to Econ Stats tutorial class. Didn't even finish doing the tutorial questions. But I went anyway.

Fuh. I'm glad that I did. The tutorial class is conducted by the lecturer herself. It's the kind of tutorial where you ask questions... and then I managed to talk to C-kun (coursemate, same batch). Seldom have the chance to talk to him  (no reason to anyway)..

The new students are more hardworking than us in the past. Proactive too, just the way most lecturers like them to be. Not necessarily intelligent but still admirable.

I think this is the first time I feel happy after a tutorial class ended. Coming to tutorial class is a battle to me. It's harder then attending lecture classes.

A stranger (don't know how he got into our faculty) approached me at the faculty lobby. He was promoting a new restaurant in Damai Plaza (something ristorante) by offering erm.. RM29.90 membership cards (I think) in exchange for their buy 1 free 1 coupons. The place sounds interesting but I wasn't interested. The frugal Nino in me deemed this offer as something I don't need. Oh. And he reeked of tabacco. I feel very strongly for smokers. He was smiling when he talked about the restaurant but I think he should've eaten some breath freshener or brush his teeth or something. He shouldn't assume every potential customers is okay with smokers. I really hate the smell. Mind you, I wouldn't complain this much if it was only BO problem.

Fangirl stuff.

Posted in: 2011 posts | 26th Sept | Arashi 嵐 | Delayed Rebellious Phase (Cringeworthy) | My Fangirl Side | NaBloPoMo | Nonsense | Ohno Satoshi 大野智 | Online Shopping Bag | University: Year 3

So...it has been a year since I became a fan of Ohno Satoshi & Arashi.



Sigh. I actually miss being a fan/in a fandom like this. Constantly having to worry about money XD. Desperate to learn a new language...etc. There are some differences though. I won't buy magazines anymore. I buy things that I could use rather than things that are kept away in a special drawer/shelf (true story XD). OH. There are exceptions (again). I don't listen to the CDs I purchased because I don't want them to have scratches. I would have watched the Concert DVDs if my DVD player can play them.

In short, life is good.
Well, except for my university life.

My fangirl dream is to go to Ohno Satoshi's art exhibitions. Not concerts (too noisy for me).
That... and for Satoshi-kun to have doramas/movies every year.


Oh well. Different fans have different characteristics & priorities. 




Not making any sense here... * reminiscences fangirl life* 



...& more to come~




Tempting shop photos... But I really have to watch what Arashi stuff I buy because Single/Album/DVD release have the utmost priority in my list, followed by books (photobooks, songbooks excluding magazines) and then whatever left I could spare for other things. Like Shop photos. XD

In my family...

Posted in: 2011 posts | Delayed Rebellious Phase (Cringeworthy) | Family | NaBloPoMo | University: Year 3

...everything will be okay if I wake up early on Sundays. 

Thank you "Hung up on" alarm... and "Troublemaker" backup alarm... for waking me up successfully this morning. 


Ahh... was craving Oxtail soup (actually since last week hahaha).. I think it was after I watched an episode of Shukudai-kun... Lol. I love how that show made me appreciate the taste of food. After  piano class, we went to a restaurant near Kg Air. They don't serve the soup but we ended up having lunch there anyway. I really don't have any idea where to find tasty oxtail soup in Kota Kinabalu. Maybe it's better to cook at home... but it's not easy to find raw/uncooked oxtail.

*thinking*

Posted in: 2011 posts | Delayed Rebellious Phase (Cringeworthy) | NaBloPoMo | Self-talk | University: Year 3

Didn't do much today. Lolled at my writing desk the whole noon while browsing the internet~ 

&

I was thinking.

Some articles I found online made me think over things. It's... a moment where you sit down and self-reflect by asking yourself a lot of personal & [quite] harsh questions. Conscience? Is this conscience?

*stares into space*


I think I'll go write something in my physical personal diary now.

「迷宮ラブソング」

Posted in: 2011 posts | Arashi 嵐 | Delayed Rebellious Phase (Cringeworthy) | Ohno Satoshi 大野智 | University: Year 3

edit 30/Sept/2011: YAY... going to buy both editions on YesAsia!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was just yesterday that I was thinking there's no news about the theme song, and then this morning...

CONFIRMED!



Google translated it beautifully XD 「Labyrinth Love Song」or [ Meikyuu Love Song]
I saw some translated it as Mystery Love Song... 





I can just throw away that hope that it will not happen out of the window & SERIOUSLY find a legal way to buy even though I'm a penniless fangirl XD

Confirmed single release news aside, you know what else made me happy? Two weeks ago, I told my sister who planned to buy YUI's single (or album?) via YesAsia to wait for news on Arashi's new single (because a member is in a new dorama, DUH! XD ) before placing her order. I was SO SURE that the news was going to come out before October *happy fangirl moment*


Now I'm worried about that Kaibutsu-kun movie that would be out on Satoshi-kun's birthday Nov 26th this year!!! XD
I think "Monster" was already a perfect song for Kaibutsu-kun... will they sing a new theme song?
OR.. will Satoshi-kun sing a new theme/insert song? *wishful*

Not & Probably Never Will

Posted in: 2011 posts | Delayed Rebellious Phase (Cringeworthy) | NaBloPoMo | University: Year 3

I'm not on Facebook.

For the time being, my stand is "Not gonna open an account".

I didn't give in when the APK lecturer made a group/page for the APK course. Although I wasn't updated promptly about what's new (until my friend told me the next day), I got by the course with a B-.

I don't plan to give in to temptation NOW even though all my coursemates are communicating (timetable changes, exam tips etc) with each other on Facebook.

I've enough things to keep me busy here (my main personal blog), on my other blogs and my main sources for Arashi updates, Livejournal & Tumblr.

Yes. You read that right. I chose Ohno/Arashi over my ex-classmates in primary/secondary/high school. LOL. This is another unpardonable thing I've thought of this month! XD Actually, I'm exaggerating the sentiments. I do read every tweets in my timeline so if you want stay updated with me, start tweeting!

Not Thirteen Things

Posted in: 2011 posts | Arashi 嵐 | Delayed Rebellious Phase (Cringeworthy) | Learning Japanese Language | NaBloPoMo | Ohno Satoshi 大野智 | University: Year 3

My failed attempt at doing a "Thursday Thirteen" blog meme. XD

  1. 18 blogposts left to 300 posts in this blog. Not really concerned about the numbers hehe... Recently I've been treating this place a lot like my real, physical diary. I still keep one though... for things I couldn't mention in my blog. 
  2. I'm now a third year university student~ But because I screwed up my exam (& consequently my CGPA), this would not be my final year in university. Currently taking four courses/subjects only for this semester (only 12 hours credit allowed). This sounds like something I shouldn't erm... talk about in my blog freely because it's really a personal thing (TMI anyone? XD). I mentioned anyway because I look forward to reading how much I have grown (or changed) in the future. 
  3. Also currently, I'm self-learning Japanese language. I actually attempted to do the same few years ago but I guess one can't go on without enough motivation. Not planning to join a class or find a private tutor (can't afford time & money XD). The best thing is I can do this according to my own pace! Just like when I learnt Mandarin (which is very rusty at this moment because I stopped being in Alec Su fandom). I feel excited that I know I can do this while I fangirl XD! I hope to reach the level where I could translate an online news article on Arashi OR understand/translate an episode of their TV shows.
  4. The game I play most on my mobile phone at this moment is, "Bubble Pop" lol 
  5. Sept 26 - the day I officially became Ohno-baited - is approaching. First anniversary *fangirls self*!
  6. No news yet about Sakurai's dorama theme song. I'm actually hoping there's no new single release because I'm really broke now XD
  7. I'm putting my hopes up for a NEW Ohno dorama next season! WINTER! Which I heard is the best season for high ratings? I'll keep checking this site to see 大野智's name come up~

駄目でした。

Posted in: 2011 posts | Delayed Rebellious Phase (Cringeworthy) | NaBloPoMo | University | University: Year 3

I was actually happy that I was able to wake up to my Ohno "Hung up on" alarm ringtone XD early to prepare my bento. And then... I was sleepy in both of my classes today (the second one not so much because it was less lecture, more math exercises :P). Actually, I was sleepy for the rest of the day. 

I need to think of a better way to prepare lunch..maybe sleep earlier (before 10pm?).


。。。疲れた~

It's Thursday tomorrow.

Posted in: 2011 posts | Delayed Rebellious Phase (Cringeworthy) | In Arrogant Mode | NaBloPoMo | University | University: Year 3

I'm pretty sure I'm going to hate it just like I always do in previous semesters. Actually it's the BIG gap between classes that bothers me a lot. If the day is really packed with classes (like 30min-1hr break in-between), the day wouldn't feel that long. But having to wait for 4 hours before the next class is a torture to me. 


Gah.



Already have some ideas of what to bring for lunch tomorrow. Can't bring myself to go for lunch at the school's cafeteria. Don't know why... I just don't like it. 

Anyway. Maybe because I got used to waking up late in the noon during holidays :P, I was energetic during the first hour of Adv. Math class today. Almost everyone was sleepy from the beginning of the class. Though... my attention span reached the limit at the last 30min :P , where I started getting distracted by little things.

DARN! It happened again!

Posted in: 2011 posts | Delayed Rebellious Phase (Cringeworthy) | NaBloPoMo | No Mood | Ohno Satoshi 大野智 | University: Year 3

Forgot to take out things from pockets again before using the washing machine! 

This time, the victim is my blue mp3 player.


I am so upset............. 
This sadness level is like 10x the news of a new-Sakurai-dorama-instead-of-Ohno-dorama....

Sept 19th at random

Posted in: 2011 posts | Arashi 嵐 | at random | Delayed Rebellious Phase (Cringeworthy) | Learning Japanese Language | NaBloPoMo | Piano | University: Year 3

I don't have anything to tell about what happened today because I didn't go out today :P (no class!)

I'm happy that my piano practice is going well (at least for the "5x10" song I want to play well before the end of this month). I mean, I can hear the difference after repeating the same problematic phrases... it sounds better! I never could believe it could improved this fast. I don't know why I'm not convinced before... but they do say practice makes perfect. Hmm. I think my piano teacher told me the same thing too months ago when I tell her I can't [make it sound good] with practice. Haha... obviously I didn't do enough practice on the piano [or I just didn't like the song(?)].

Got bored with doramas already. So, I'm re-watching Arashi's TV shows XD. This, of course, doesn't sound healthy for my university life. But considering that I hardly watch TV anymore... and I don't exist on facebook (which I heard is a big distraction to university students :P), I think it's OKAY. As long as I don't sacrifice my sleep hours. Watching them help me improve my listening too. But I always get influenced by the male-only speeches. Lol. Oh well, can't expect everything to be perfect all the time.

5x10

Posted in: 2011 posts | Arashi 嵐 | Delayed Rebellious Phase (Cringeworthy) | NaBloPoMo | Piano | University: Year 3

Feeling better today~ 



Lately, I've been listening to Arashi's "5x10" song again (since they added the song into the last concert's songs list). I've found a piano arrangement of the song (transcribed by ParaParaStar, a ballad version! If you're interested, click here to listen~) that I like... ah.. been practising the song on the piano instead of my ABRSM piano pieces XD. I've also started keeping a music journal to keep a record on what I've practised that day & also to write down my teacher's comments during piano class... it seems that I can't cheat now XD (meaning : play a song halfway, jumping from one song to another without finishing the first one). 

I hope to play "5x10" perfectly before September ends!  


p/s: I was googling for piano scores for Onitsuka Chihiro's songs and I found this site. It was sad that he had to remove a lot of his transcriptions. But, I was quite surprised that one has to pay for songs he transcribed... though hmmm..maybe it does makes sense.. if they take it as "reproducing into another format" kind of thing.. then, what about those on youtube who sing covers of someone else's songs?

Thursday Stories

Posted in: 2011 posts | Arashi 嵐 | Courses | Delayed Rebellious Phase (Cringeworthy) | Life | NaBloPoMo | University | University: Year 3


Pessimism makes me a happy person.

Today is Arashi's 12th anniversary!!!!!!!!!!!

*Actually I've always thought it's Sept 16th because of the time difference between Hawaii & Japan... hmmm*

Also... went to a meeting (with VC) & got all my questions answered. I don't need to take newer subjects. Officially registered for classes this semester! I've already  thought of the other things he talked about earlier, during the long semester break. No surprises actually. Unfortunately, no one from my school turned up (*facepalm*) so the VC himself took care of the students from my school. He picked out the same subjects I have in mind. Again, no surprise. The best thing that happened was he pronounced my name correctly!!! 


I met W-chan during the meeting. If everything goes the way we want them to be, she'll be the only person I'm going to graduate with from my batch.


It seems there are a lot of changes made to the timetable for this semester. Going to have a long Thursday with free time between 10am-2pm. Went "ARGGHH!!!" inside   (I also just knew that the lecturer who taught us cryptography in the previous semester is teaching Discrete Math this semester) for a few minutes... & then I suddenly look forward to what bento I'll prepare for that day.  I'm thinking of bringing along soups and have a feast all by myself before the 2pm class starts.




さて。新学期が始まったので。。。 
------「講師たち、また宜しくお願い致します!」

 頑張れ、私!

Not Over Yet

Posted in: 2011 posts | Courses | Death | Delayed Rebellious Phase (Cringeworthy) | NaBloPoMo | University | University: Year 3

I don't have classes today (YET).

Attended a distant uncle's funeral in the morning. Again, I'm slightly surprised by how calm a funeral could be.

Went to Karamunsing after that & shopped for stationery products (I can never have enough :P). OHH! I met one of my coursemates (the main program coursemates) there! Hmm.. It seems that they had class this morning (I think). She asked me to just attend the "Adv. CG" class or else I would have to extend [my studies] later. Shocked to see her there, I blatantly said I AM planning to do that. Back at home, I realised I had a missed call from F-chan (another coursemate). I think I'm going to name everyone -san/-chan/-kun in my future posts XD  Hmmm. I texted her few weeks ago but she never texted me back (didn't bother to call her though - not really important). If my hunch is right, she must had badmouthed me XP (using this term 'cos I've seen her did this to another coursemate) commented something on my absence, seeing that I didn't attend the class I don't plan to take this semester. HMMMMMMM.

Tomorrow's an important day... I'm nervous & scared. 

The first week isn't over yet.

NERVOUS.

Posted in: 2011 posts | Courses | Delayed Rebellious Phase (Cringeworthy) | NaBloPoMo | University | University: Year 3


I really, really thought I'm the only 3rd year student who takes this subject (Adv Math I) again. SO happy & relieved to find another six students from the same batch! ...and B (a godsend in the previous semester) is one of them! He also told me about the timetable change for the class I mentioned yesterday. It seems I COULD try for one class. It is possible...

Today I still feel like I can do it... I even thought of something so unpardonable - to get all As for this semester's subjects - WHA...WHAT?

It's not driven by my confidence though. I just want to win this war with myself because I'm bored of losing!

RANDOM: "Mada Minu Sekai e" (PV) Shop Photos~!!! Actually I got it last Saturday!













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

Today, the new semester officially started.


I don't have class today though. 

Actually... I do have an evening class but I'm still not sure if I should take it or not. 

*sigh* Been watching doramas/movies with survival/appreciate-your-life themes. I just suddenly felt like watching them. Hehe. I cried a lot watching "1 Litre of Tears". It's based on a real story, a novel (in the form of diary) written by Kito Aya, a Spinocerebellar Degeneration patient. I want to read it... anyway. I cried because she's so young...she wanted to do many things but her disease stopped her.

...after that, watched Saw movies ("Cherish your life" anyone?), "Dekichatta Kekkon" & "Long Love Letter" (loved Kubozuka Yosuke in this!). All reminded me to appreciate my life & do whatever I can/want (as if I don't have a tomorrow). 


Ahh.. I'm scared to attend my first class of the week tomorrow. My name is definitely not in the list.


Don't know why today... I feel like I can do my best. For this week?  For this new semester? 


Lately been thinking that being brave is more important than having confidence. I've always thought that confidence is just a façade. It doesn't help at all having confidence [alone] after you failed... to do something. Courage is better. 

そう思った。 



明日から頑張れます!!!!!

甘い!

Posted in: 2011 posts | Delayed Rebellious Phase (Cringeworthy) | NaBloPoMo | University

Yesterday I accompanied my mum to [another, for me] erm... seminar on KSMU (I went to one once in 2007). NOT ME! I'm NOT planning to go there or anything! It's for my younger sister. She couldn't come because she's currently receiving training at a certain MacD outlet. Well. I don't really have much to say about it because I was doing something else (like doing my Kanji characters notes & creating draft for this post :P). It sure felt different when I didn't come with hopes of getting in. No purposes. The aura around room was surely a hopeful one. Anxiety. Confidence. High hopes. Inspiring.

[Ahh... my pessimist self kept thinking「甘い!甘すぎる!」 XD]

I was sleepy in the end.

Anyway. A doctor who graduated two months ago was asked to come forward ("please ask him anything you want" corner). Maybe it's not really a surprising fact... but I like the part where he emphasized STUDY EVERYDAY because you will be tested everyday (for every chapter, I guess). I thought it's a good way to frighten myself to study consistently next semester (which is next week.. BOO!)

1. When severe whether happens, generally speaking, are you ready for it?
No.

2. If you could wake up tomorrow with a new talent, what would it be? 
Photographic memory. Is that...considered a talent?

3. What do you strive for in life? 
Survival in the society? Struggling with fitting in... erm.. trying to go with the flow. I think I misunderstood the question already. XD

4. If you were given a vacation home and you could have it anywhere, what location would you choose?
6 years ago, I would have answered Greece (Santorini maybe?)... Now, given my Ohno Satoshi/Arashi obsession, I should answer somewhere in Japan... but honestly, I don't know.

5. Do you feel energized or drained by being in a group situation? If the answer is "it depends," on what does it depend? 
Drained. Even if I started energized or it's a group I would enjoy being with (Ohno fanclub, why you no exist in Sabah XD)... I'm the introvert type, I enjoy being alone.

6. When you're sick do you take "sick days" or do you force yourself to continue working? 
I guess this question makes more sense to people who are working... but anyway.. as a student, I would take sick days if it involves headaches and stomachaches - esp stomachaches *cringes* - I can't solve Math problems when I have stomachache...

7. What is your absolute favorite piece of furniture you have and why? 
I don't have any favourite piece of furniture...

8. When you go out, where do you like to go? What do you like to do? 
Bookstores and stationery shops. I would browse through those places and get myself tempted to buy things I don't really need...

9. How's life? Is it treating you well right now? 
Life's a bit better after Satoshi/Arashi... now Life likes to keep secrets from me. I can't imagine what the future looks like 3 months later.

Hello Friday

Posted in: 2011 posts | Delayed Rebellious Phase (Cringeworthy) | NaBloPoMo | Ohno Satoshi 大野智 | University


Friday.

Sigh.

Next week Friday will become my most anticipated day of the week again.

Arghhh! Nervous and clueless! I'm scared of the new semester!


Instead of delivering to my house, PosLaju called me today to pick up the "Mada Minu" shop photos I ordered from japan_je@LJ... UWAAA!

Baffled by a Note

Posted in: 2011 posts | blog images | Delayed Rebellious Phase (Cringeworthy) | NaBloPoMo | Nonsense

When you are there,
When you get what you want,
You don't stop breathing.
Life doesn't wait for you.
Life doesn't slow down.
Life doesn't stop, even for a while.
Life goes on.
You move on.
-Me (I think.)
 
 
*laughs*
There are times random phrases will come into my mind. I always thought I should write it down, because I thought it would be interesting to compose a song with those phrases. No songs have been composed yet though XD. It's just that I found this note in a box I put things I don't-know-what-to-do-with. I thought it's from a lyric or some poem (just so you know, I'm not really a fan of poems), but I didn't get anything from googling them. Feel free to correct me if they ARE someone else's.

I don't know what happened that made me write that... & I suspect I must be in a depressed stressed situation... Man I really don't know what was it. But the fact that I could laugh while reading it now (instead of pondering bitterly/deeply of how true they are) must mean that it's better now. Wait..what? What's better? Gosh. These phrases don't make any sense at all!

Mistakes

Posted in: 2011 posts | Delayed Rebellious Phase (Cringeworthy) | In Arrogant Mode | NaBloPoMo | No Mood | Personal Thoughts

Today was annoying… but I don’t know what was it that made me feel annoyed. It’s like everything is annoying.

Sometimes or (really) most of time, honestly, I hate having my mistakes pointed out.
Because…
(1) I already know what my mistakes are (in situations where you can’t change what have happened). Conscience has a loud voice. Having someone say something[=mistakes] that I already thought of/said to myself IS IRRITATING. I rather have them do like my piano teacher always do – by asking me if I know what my mistakes are, let me list it out myself (optional) – and move on. I don’t listen much to people who always nag. 
(2) I don’t think it’s a mistake just because it doesn’t follow what you usually do. I don’t think I’m that biased to side with myself (because I don’t like myself that much) so I’m pretty sure I know how right/wrong something is in general.
(3) I feel guilty just like any normal people will do when I just realised it was a mistake after I did it.
(4)… but of course, in rare occasions, I’m okay with mistakes that I know ARE mistakes (& I didn’t realised I did it) being pointed out.
(5) <reserved for anything not covered in 1-4>

No piano class today.

Posted in: 2011 posts | blog images | Delayed Rebellious Phase (Cringeworthy) | Learning Japanese Language | NaBloPoMo | Shopping Bag

Went to Times bookstore (Suria branch) to check out some Japanese language learning books. There are many new ones!  I saw a very, very thick Kanji dictionary (added to my will-buylist  <3) & some one or two more books that I think can help my self-study. UWA. The prices!!! The dictionary is almost RM300… the other books are in the RM70-90 range. Arrgggrrhrh.
Bought one book that teaches how to read/construct sentences.

Belated Birthday Celebration

Posted in: 2011 posts | Arashi 嵐 | Birthday | Delayed Rebellious Phase (Cringeworthy) | Life | NaBloPoMo | Ohno Satoshi 大野智

Woke up late today so no bagels :P

Went to Nishiki japanese restaurant for the first time today for a belated birthday celebration. In my family, when we say japanese restaurant, we usually meant going to Lintas’ Wagamama Wojamama restaurant… but this time I suggested going to a new place. Been craving Unagi since I saw Ohno’s challenge in “Arashi ni Shiyagare” (pic). Didn’t eat the way it was recommended on the show though because I couldn’t figure out which one is the tail (should be eaten last because it’s the tastiest part).

Arashi ni Shiyagare #049 [2011.06.18] HQ.avi_002000633

I didn’t take any pics though… hehe

Oh.. I think.. I think I can handle Wasabi now. I ate it by putting a small amount on my sushi… not as bad as I thought it would be.

Also… I saw someone – a former classmate (form 5) – sitting with his family on the next table to ours. I just realised who it was when we were going to leave. Didn’t say hi or anything though because I’m pretty sure he had forgotten who I am.

* * * * *

There are too many Sakurai news nowadays, I’m getting tired of seeing them in my Twitter timeline/LJ friends page. I’m complaining because he’s not my ichiban (Ohno-biased) and I think he’s overexposed enough already. SIGH… I don’t hate him or anything.. just.. really annoyed... for now. 

Annoyance aside… I saw yesterday’s VSA! It felt like my birthday gift having them won with Ohno doing excellently in “Bound Hockey”. He was really awesome! I guess that’s how he is when he’s in serious mode. VS Arashi Golden #078 [2011.09.01] HQ[22-41-11]VS Arashi Golden #078 [2011.09.01] HQ[00-06-10]

 

 

 

 

During “Jungle Bingo”, the VSA staff made him wear a small camera video on his head to showcase the insides of the Jungle Bingo while he played. It was interesting!VS Arashi Golden #078 [2011.09.01] HQ[23-52-36] Will they continue doing that?

Oh! Jun was really bad in “Kicking Sniper”! LOL The opponent team gave him a stylish specs and asked him to play with them on. Jun couldn’t see properly with them. He kept making some robotic movements when it’s his turn to kick.

23歳になりました~

Posted in: 2011 posts | Arashi 嵐 | Birthday | Blog Post Collection | Delayed Rebellious Phase (Cringeworthy) | Life | NaBloPoMo | Ohno Satoshi 大野智

*This is a compulsory birthday post to be made every year.*

An updated chronology of my blog (last year's is here)

┏━━━【2010】
┃
┣━「Oct 1」 Ça va?.
┃
┣━「Nov」 No posts.
┃
┣━「Dec」 No posts(!!).
┃
┣━━━【2011】
┃
┣━「Jan 2」 Made targets (or New Year resolutions) Shukudai-kun style. One big goal and one small goal that I want to reach this year.
┃
┣━「Jan 21」An "at random" post full of Arashi.
┃
┣━「Feb 24」 Crappy Thursday.
┃
┣━「Mac 26」 Did a blog meme where I shared one photo of my unusual collections.
┃
┣━「Jun 2」 "I want Ohno Satoshi in a new Dorama" Part 1. Started including snippets of posts from other blogs.
┃
┣━「Jun 12」 Attempted to summarise my 2010.
┃
┣━「Aug 19」 My only post in August which I'll call "I want Ohno Satoshi in a new Dorama" Part 2. It's Sakurai's turn to have a dorama this Fall. (''-.-)
┃
┗━「Sept 1」 This post. Extra : Sept 1 at random.


Obviously I didn't blog much after last year's birthday. Hahaha..I even had a two-month (consecutively!) without posts. Was terribly distracted by Arashi's TV variety shows XD. As usual,




I would like thank again those who texted/tweeted me birthday wishes and :D. I think I said the same thing last year...anyway, I'm really glad you remembered my birthday~ :')

Sept 1st at random

Posted in: 1st post | 2011 posts | Arashi 嵐 | at random | Birthday | Delayed Rebellious Phase (Cringeworthy) | NaBloPoMo | Ohno Satoshi 大野智 | Self-talk

1|  It’s my birthday today~ (birthday post here) I wasn’t out/didn’t do anything to celebrate though… The fact that it’s the first day of the month alone is enough to make me happy XD.

2| …because September is such a special month (to me), I decided to join this month’s NaBloPoMo. I really miss my blogger side~ I mean, I always update things for my own sake in the future (as a record or something)… It has always been that way.. but this year, I’ve only made 10 posts (excluding my other blogs) here.  I don’t want to repeat 2007 again (7 posts!). Time for experimental posts again XD

3| And…hehehehe September – 26th of September – was the day I first tweeted about erm.. liking Ohno Satoshi. Watching Maou was almost like a beautiful mistake XD. I watched it expecting nothing much and as a fan of Ikuta Toma[’s acting]  but in the end, it led me to being Ohno-baited becoming a fan of Ohno Satoshi (& consequently, Arashi).  I’m still amazed at myself of how fast I progressed to being a full-fledged fan (though I did get to know about them when I watched HanaDan in 2005). The irritating thing is… once I’m in a fandom, all my blog posts will mention something about Ohno 0r Arashi *a warning? XD*. But this time, MAYBE… only subtly because there’s a reason why I have a LJ blog  for fangirling purposes…

4| Recently I’ve been cooking at home a lot. To me, cooking is a de-stress activity. I used to think I had to avoid cooking when I have classes that day because it’s time-consuming. But now, it’s like something I want to do whenever I could & want to eat something. Sometimes it’s like a game. My dad likes to buy raw ingredients…randomly (I don’t think he remembers what’s left in the refrigerator when he’s buying XD), so I have to figure out what to cook using those [extra] ingredients to avoid them being wasted. The funny thing is, this sudden increase in interest started after I watched an episode of “Arashi no Shukudai-kun” with Ueto Aya. Ohno-san was the presenter and the topic was on bagels. That episode made me curious of how bagels taste like because the bread-lover/future-bread shop-owner Ohno didn’t like them that much. Gosh… just typing those out made me crave bagels again. Maybe I’ll make some tomorrow ^_^
