More online quizzes from Blogthings~

300th post!

"What's Your EQ?"
Mine is...

Your EQ is 127

You usually have it going on emotionally, but roadblocks tend to land you on your butt.

On an average day, you're quite happy, together, and content. You live your life well.
Your emotions aren't always stable, but you can go along with the ups and downs pretty well.

You tend to be motivated, energetic, focused, and level headed.
You see the world pretty rationally, and you don't tend to over dramatize things. When things are bad, you know they eventually have to get better.

What's Your EQ (Emotional Intelligence Quotient)?

"What Type of Book are You?"
I'm a...

You Are a Memoir

You're funny, but many people don't see your funny side. Your subtle dry humor leaves your close friends in stitches.
You have your own quirky ideas about the world. You see so much light and promise.

You have no patience for small talk or niceties. You want to have conversations of substance.
You are an amazing storyteller. You always have a new story to relate, and your friends love to listen to you.

What Type of Book Are You?

"How Do You Learn?"
...left this one expanded.
I wish I have perseverance when I study my Math subjects now :/
Though...I do think I have it but for all the "wrong" things and reasons XD
It's like a bad habit. When I decide to give up today, I find myself searching for/do/reading about it again tomorrow :D.

You Learn by Teaching Yourself

There's very little you can't teach yourself. You are a huge self-learner.
You don't have one learning style that works for you. You try everything that works.

You experiment with learning and figure out what works best for you in each context.
Your most important attribute is perseverance. Even when it feels like something is impossible to understand, you don't give up.

How Do You Learn?

Great Day &「もう誘拐なんてしない」

edit Dec 7th 2011 :
I did something like a progress post on "Mou Yuukai nante Shinai" in my other blog. If you're interested, visit the "Mou Yuukai nante Shinai" progress post here :)
----------------------

Today is a really GREAT day!

Had a group presentation instead during tutorial class... My group were worried & nervous because we just finished doing everything (report & presentation slides) yesterday! Last minute work, of course... Anyway.. working with this group was relaxing! Though we didn't hold any meetings for our assignment, everyone (or most of them..I hope) was very understanding of the situation and just do what we could do... no yelling, crying, pushing or anything that gives out negative vibes!

We even had the time to talk about unrelated things XD.. One of the members is my junior. She saw me once at my music school (dunno when) so there's a brief conversation for topic like "Oh, you take music classes? What instrument do you play?" LOL ~~Small, random conversations makes me happy~~

That's not the only thing that made this day a GREAT day. In fact, it was already decided early on that it's a GREAT day when I read about the news of Ohno's New Year Dorama SP....!!!

『もう誘拐なんてしない』 [Mou Yuukai Nante Shinai]

Yes. It's compulsory for me to blog about this not only on my LJ, but here and also my review blog XD.

It's not a full-length dorama... but these points here are enough to convince me that it will be a worthwhile dorama SP.

Adapted from a novel (2008) by the same bestselling author of "Nazotoki wa Dinner no Ato de", Higashikawa Tokuya
Renowned list of casts : Sato Ryuta, Narimiya Hiroki, Kanjiya Shihori, Takahashi Katsumi, Kitaoji Kinya (just typing back what's put in the article lol.. )
Ohno Satoshi. ~~oh lol this is very obvious~~... but as I've been waiting for a new dorama (=character) of him for over a year, this is good enough for me already! It's time to leave the Kaibutsu-kun persona behind! (The character's description reminded me of UtaOni's Kenta-kun though...maybe a happier version of Yano Kenta?)

What I love about the announcement article (there were various sites reporting on this) was this:

They emphasized that Ohno was the only one who could play this role amongst other actors in his generation. (link)

or... (I love reading the "offered" part in the original news XD)

「...この難しい役を演じることができるのは、同世代の俳優の中で、大野智さんしかいない、とオファーしました」 (link)

In TS3 terms, this happy event gave a me a positive moodlet that will last about a week XD

Now... I'll go back to studying for "Discrete Math" & "Linear Algebra"'s mid-term exams that are going to happen this Thursday and Friday... ~~I'm surprised that I even care to study XD~~

Posted in: 2011 posts | Arashi 嵐 | Defining Me | Delayed Rebellious Phase (Cringeworthy) | online quiz

Took this quiz for fun :P
Have always suspect that I'm the A-type inside (I'm O-positive genetically)...
Lol.. & so it seems I'm most compatible with A or AB people *thinks about Arashi* XD

What about yours?

You seem cool and collected, though a bit shy.
You are highly driven and a perfectionist, but that's a side you keep to yourself.
Creative and artistic, you are a very unique person who doesn't quite fit in.
People accept you more than you realize, seeing you as trustworthy and loyal.

You are most compatible with: A and AB

Saturday 9 [Nov-12-2011 ed.]

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

Interesting questions today :)
Blog meme from here.

Saturday 9 : How Long

1. Have your discovered a betrayal? If so, did you ask, “How long has THIS been going on”?
I think I did... But I didn't ask that question though. I kept to myself and find ways to get rid of them (either the feeling or person). I'm guessing that this is more of a relationship/dating related kind of betrayal.. if it's that, no, I don't have any experience yet :P

2. What is the longest line you've ever stood in? Would you do it again?
The longest line I ever stood in? My university registration day's line! GOSH. That was SO, SO, SO long. The registration event was held at my university's chancellery hall. It began at the lobby, then went through the walkway on the left part of the hall to upstairs, then went through the right part's walkway going back downstairs (lol)... If I remember correctly it took like 2-3 hours (or 4?) to reach the registration table. CRAZY DAY. Would I do it again? I guess so... I don't think the line for postgraduate registration would be THAT long.

3. Someone has hung a sign around your neck, and you have to wear it all day long. What does it say?
"Obsessed with Ohno Satoshi & Arashi." XD

4. As the Christmas season approaches, what song is it that you just can't wait to hear?
5. What Christmas song do you dread to hear?
Nothing.

6. How often do you read the last chapter of a book first?
I didn't count but I usually do this if I'm greatly immersed with the book & couldn't wait to reach the end.

7. Do you have a favorite movie that you just love to see each year during the holidays?
Nothing, really.

8. Do you enjoy winter in the area that you live?
No winter in Sabah... but if it's about coldness & rainy seasons, YES, I enjoy them :D (except for the fact that I can't do laundry as often as usual)..

9. At holiday I think we all show more kindness. In your opinion, is this a “concept” that has value (like money or other tangible things) or does it exist as simply emotion? Why?
Emotion... I think. There's something about holiday spirit that makes one be kind (or kinder) to others. Maybe they want to enable other people to enjoy their holidays ~~just like them~~? ~~Did I misunderstood the question again...? :P~~

楽しかったです。

Tomorrow’s holiday ~~meaning no Adv Math class~~ !!!

Left Econ Stats tutorial class today feeling light-hearted & … happy. ^_^

I did like 88% of the homework Qs so I could catch most of the thing talked about in the class. Talked a bit with C-kun. W-chan was absent. Oh! Something amusing happened during class. I don’t know what’s the reason but the door of the room we’re in was suddenly locked (it looks like as if the lecturer locked the door to prevent late-comers from coming in :P). Usually it’s locked after 6pm so one has to press a button to open the door. But believe it or not, the door was locked dead. Everyone got out of the room via the next room (every room is connected with doors near the lecturer's desk in front). After class, I met M-chan and F-chan. ~~Heard L-kun’s voice. （はい。ボイスフェチです。）~~

Recently there are many Ohno-san’s news… [any Ohno news makes the Ohno-biased in me happy XD]. Well… they’ve started promoting the movie so it’s not really surprising.. Today read that Kaibutsu-kun image (I think..haven't seen any photos online yet) will be on a JAL plane. Oh, yeah! Looks like “Monster” will be the movie’s theme song too. Perfect choice ~~& my money is safe LOL~~. I wonder if they are going to re-release the single specially for the movie??? Was hoping there will be a new Kaibutsu-kun related solo song(s??)…but I guess not.

Rational

Posted in: 2011 posts | Defining Me | Delayed Rebellious Phase (Cringeworthy) | online quiz

~~Don't remember if I ever done this blogthing quiz before :D~~
Found a 2006 post where I did the same quiz! (Interestingly, I got Idealist...)

But...ah. The explanation. It's almost 100% true. Like 90-100% true.

I love reading things that reminds me of who I am.

Your Personality Is Rational

You are both logical and creative. You are full of ideas.
You are so rational that you analyze everything. This drives people a little crazy!

Intelligence is important to you. You always like to be around smart people.
In fact, you're often a little short with people who don't impress you mentally.

You seem distant to some - but it's usually because you're deep in thought.
Those who understand you best are fellow Rationals.

In love, you tend to approach things with logic. You seek a compatible mate - who is also very intelligent.

At work, you tend to gravitate toward idea building careers - like programming, medicine, or academia.

With others, you are very honest and direct. People often can't take your criticism well.

As far as your looks go, you're coasting on what you were born with. You think fashion is silly.

On weekends, you spend most of your time thinking, experimenting with new ideas, or learning new things.

Floating

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

Yesterday's test.... いやぁぁ...不安ですね。

Went blur for the last two questions.

Totally didn't study/read enough on level curves and level surfaces. =P

Also, yesterday, I met H-kun at the bus stop. He thought I had switched ~~courses~~ programs because I haven't been attending the 3rd year classes. Smilingly, I told him I'm repeating courses I'd taken in the previous two years.

I really don't know... how... or rather... erm... maybe it could be easier if I exist on Facebook and just announce there ~~like it's everybody's business lol~~ that "I'm not going to be with you this year."

Now I'm like a "floating" student. I wouldn't know any important announcements made related to my batch ~~unless I'm on Facebook, which is out of question :P~~. The important announcements made in the classes I'm taking are of no use to me. Floating, I tell you!

To be honest, I do miss them. I miss seeing those familiar faces. I miss hearing familiar voices ~~especially L-kun's voice XD~~. Now it's already the fifth week in this new semester, I'm still doubtful if I entered the right class because I don't know most of the faces.

BUT! But.......... at the same time, I also feel glad. Those familiar faces also brought on stress as the semester's coming to its end. When did it start, I wonder? Year 1's 2nd semester? Seeing those faces reminded me that I have to study which made me not to study at all. LOL. ~~I'm crazily opposite like this at times... it's irritating, I know.~~ Unknown faces in turn made me calm ~~& make efforts to study~~. That... and also the fact that I actually hate what I'm studying now. I feel better after admitting to myself that I wasn't that much of a Math fan. (TWO YEARS. It took me two years to realise this fact!) I hate Math but I'm going to graduate as a Math degree holder. Gosh. Now it sounds like I failed on purpose last semester so that I don't have be in the same classes with them. SHEESH. Sometimes I think it's my subconscious mind who controls my life and what I do. She knows what I want even before I know what I want. And I don't even know her that much. Evil, evil subconscious mind! XD

To celebrate my 300th post (which is still six posts away), I'm going to rename the labels used in this blog~

Maybe I should...

...be a speech therapist.

It's not too late, you know.

Today was eventful.

SIGH.

*I don't know where to begin.*

Okay, I had free time in the morning before my 3pm 1-hour Econ Stats tutorial class. Had breakfast with my parents and sister. Then we went to the Magaram office in Penampang to discuss about my sister pursuing medicine in Russia. The person in charge talked about other job opportunities in the medical field like physiotherapist and speech therapist. The latter part caught my attention because he mentioned working and studying opportunities in US after four years in India for speech therapist. IT WAS VERY INTERESTING.

Then, fast forward to 3pm.

OH THE SHAME!!!! lol

I was so unlucky to be picked out from the name list to answer one of the stats question. ARGGGGHH. I just received the xeroxed version of the textbook used for the class minutes before that. Didn't do any of the questions given as homework since two weeks ago [YET]. Stats is my weakest/least favourite subject since secondary school...so I can't answer the question on the spot too! Had to borrow the answer sheet of the person sitting in the front row. XD

後輩からの解答用紙ですよ。。。超恥ずかしい！ (￣▽￣;)

Adv Math's Test 1 tomorrow!

頑張れ, 私！

Serene Wednesday

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

My blue MP3 is alive. ALIVE, I tell you! It was a miracle! I didn't think the battery would survive being washed in the washing machine. It was still playing the three HanaDan songs remix (at the "Love so Sweet" part) when I took it out of the pocket. It can't be turned off. Nothing can be seen on the screen. Unscrewed some parts and left everything in a container filled with ~~beras~~ raw rice for a week. AND IT SURVIVED.

Note-to-self : NEVER ever leave things in pockets anymore! ~~Yes I'm paranoid~~

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

Today seems serene & peaceful.

Someone (junior) asked me what my group sell for APK two semesters ago.

Totally recommended them to sell food (even though it's not encouraged by the APK lecturers)

Had a ~~very~~ brief chat with Adv Math lecturer.

Met her near my course's notice board & she asked whether I'm from the Econ or CG program.

Scanned & e-mailed Adv Math tutorial questions to coursemates who didn't come last week.

Little things like these can brighten my day.

It feels great to be able to help someone.

...or talk to someone you seldom talk to.

It rained cats and dogs after my class finished. Went to pick up my mum in KK and saw a group of girls near the road to Sutera Harbour on the way back home. I think they were waiting for the bus... or other transportations. Anyway. The scene just made me think of how great having a home is. Even if you have to wait in the rain, drenched, you look forward to going home because you have a place you belong to that welcomes you.

Little things...

13 Things That Annoyed Me Recently

Another attempt :P

Juniors who disrespect her senior(s) openly in Adv Math tutorial class.
Hardworking, proud, over-confident but clearly lack of thinking skills juniors.
My sleepiness in class.
Waking up late in the noon.
Procrastinating piano practice.
Thick noodles.
Lack of space in my phone (too many apps :D)
No reply from my usual MU voucher reseller. Dead?
No time to sing ~~Arashi songs' karaoke version~~ (LOL).
Haven't watched last week's Shiyagare "Unaired Clips SP" episode.
No new episodes of 「VS嵐」 and「ひみいつの嵐ちゃん」until October 20th.
No Ohno dorama this year.
~~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...

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

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.

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...

...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*

最近はね。。。みんな気づいた？

智くん❤にいつもブログする。。。

しょうがないね。あたしの一番ですからね。

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

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

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.
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.
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.
The game I play most on my mobile phone at this moment is, "Bubble Pop" lol
Sept 26 - the day I officially became Ohno-baited - is approaching. First anniversary *fangirls self*!
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~~
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～

Sep 21

It's Thursday tomorrow.

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!

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....

うわぁぁぁ～～～～～。
今週はちょっと。。。正直、不安です。

嫌だな、この経過！

Sept 19th at random

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

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

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

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.

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!

怖いぃぃぃ～

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!)

Saturday 9 [Sept 10th ed.]

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

Blog meme from here.

Saturday 9: Ready or Not

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.

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

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.

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

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).

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.

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! 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.

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

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 ^_^

Arghhh~. ARGFHGHGHSFHLASG.

Woke up to a confirmed news of a certain Fall dorama.

It is at time like this that my Ohno-biasness is shown brightly. ~~I can talk all day about how this world is unfair and how I'm not the biggest fan of Sho's acting skills.~~

OH, WELL. The rumour started like from the beginning of the year with Sho so I wasn't really hoping much anyway... I'm just SO DISAPPOINTED that Ohno doesn't have a dorama this year. (All fall doramas haven't been announced though..but I want to be pessimistic about it)

There's another Drama Special of "Kaibutsu-kun" (before the movie release)... Ought to be grateful for that.

But still...

UH-OH.

Does this mean... there's going to be a new single release?

~~I haven't recovered from my 3-month worth of pocket money purchase of the Scene Dome DVD and "Beautiful World" album...~~

p/s: If the dorama team will go against Arashi in VSA, I wonder who will be get Sho's role as the main title-call etc... I think maybe Jun or Nino. edit 27/Aug/2011: I just realised that it could happen with Kitagawa coming in as a Plus One guest. Cheh.
p/s 2: Because I ~~unfortunately~~ had done some research on what the dorama is about a season ago (based on a bestseller novel in Japan), I came to know about the characters. It was really interesting~! ~~Though honestly, I don't want Ohno to get this character :P~~ Plan to buy the novel later.

"I WANT OHNO SATOSHI IN A NEW DORAMA~!!!!!"

Saturday 9 [June 25th ed.]

Blog meme from here.

"Make You Feel My Love"

1. What has someone done unusual to make you feel their love?

There are many... but one thing that came to mind instantly when I saw this question is something that happened eight years ago. 2003. I forgot to bring a history reference book to school. The teacher was a scary one so I was afraid all the time before his class (in the noon I think). Two of my best friends that were sitting beside me each brought me a reference book they borrowed from someone else (at different times). In the end I had two books (& if my memory doesn't fail me, the class was cancelled or the books weren't used at all :D)... I always feel the same warmth I felt at that time every time I recall this story.

2. Do you own a smart phone? If yes, is it everything you wanted? If no, how seriously have you considered a purchase of the new smart phone?

Yes. It isn't perfect but it was what I wanted in the beginning. I've always been interested in machines/devices with touch screen since little.

3. Have you ever camped out to purchase something?

No.

4. What is your worst habit?

Procrastinating.

5. What is your best habit?

Able to catch on/pick up something (knowledge, information, change of atmosphere...) quickly *sometimes I lie :P*. ~~I don't know if you can call this a habit but it's the only thing I like about myself, so let me call it my best habit for now.~~ Sometimes it doesn't work well. ~~Like for math.~~

6. In your opinion, what is life's greatest mystery?

Ohno Satoshi. It's my life's greatest mystery.

7. Are you one of those people who is constantly busy with projects, social outings, etc. or do you just like to lay low and stay home?

I generally don't like to go out (socializing?) unless it's family members (including relatives) or friends I'm close to. I always have something I want to do at home. My personal projects have no ends. I do like to travel or go on sightseeing trips though.

8. Whether you're busy all the time or like to just chill, have you always been that way?

Have always been like this since ten years ago...

9. Is there something you'd like to change about how you spend your time? If so, what is it? If not, why not?

Hmmm. I don't really want to change anything... except the time I spend for studying ~~Math~~. I want to believe that the time spent to study ensures that I could develop interest in the subject, be more familiar with the subject and able to answer well in exams/tests. This is because when it involves subjects I don't really have genuine interest in it, I'm not convinced that I have studied properly. ~~Maybe this sounds confusing..doesn't matter. It's enough that I understand this problem alone. XD~~

Scales again *happy*
I've seen Arashi's "Training Camp"!!! Love the sight of Arashi + piano. And WHOA. I was impressed by Sho's piano rendition of "Hatenai Sora". For a moment I forgot that this is the Sho who always fail athletically (on their variety shows anyways, I don't know how athletic he is in real life XD) , he looked so...[Read More] ===============================================

Two Thousand Ten

Just thought of doing this because I did a post on my year 2009, I want one for year 2010 too!

But I'll do it in this style : Past, Present, and Future.

Past : First Half (January-Jun 2010)
2010 was EVENTFUL. I did another NaBloPoMo challenge for January 2010 (which explains why there were so many odd posts in that month XD). My sister went to Selangor for PLKN. Semester 2 started and I did a few posts on my classes and happenings in university. I still have studying problems as usual. I made a checklist to help me but that was a total failure LOL. I also did a blog meme (did many but this one is special) that gave out interesting results.

Gosh! The difference between now and then!! Most of my posts are laid-back and some are personal thoughts... And I was still obsessed with Jonas Brothers and Demi Lovato (Camp Rock effects, thank you).

Past : Second Half (July-December 2010)
From past experience, I usually don't blog much in mid-year. I don't remember much for 2010 too. Unless it's my obsession, course. Looking at my Tumblr's archive, it started with "Nodame Cantabile" in September.

And then Ohno Satoshi happened. It was declared in a tweet on Sept 26th.

Ohno Satoshi. Crush. *Hazukashi!!!* :") #maou

Maou.

Life is never the same again after I entered the Arashi fandom.

Pre-Present
It's going to be the 5th semester this coming semester. & I SCREWED UP A LOT. One VERY IMPORTANT fact that I realised in the 4th semester (DISASTROUS)- I don't like Maths. WHAT THE HECK. It took almost 2 years to finally accept this fact. TOTALLY SCREWED UP.

Some things changed last semester. Like suddenly having no motivation to go to French classes. That was so weird. It's like I never wanted to learn French in the first place. But I will continue learning the language though ~~because it's my dream to be able to talk gibberish in several languages when I'm in panic mode~~.

Present
No more Yamashita Tomohisa. No more Joe Jonas. No more. Ohno Satoshi is different. Who would have thought it would come to this? The me who didn't care to buy any Arashi singles in the past ("NEWS' singles/albums are more important" thoughts) is now desperate to find extra money for Arashi's singles/albums/Live DVDs XD. That Ohno... is irresistible. He was always invisible to me but when I finally saw him, the other members are blurred out perfectly now. *starts talking nonsense* XD

Because of Ohno Satoshi & Arashi, I re-developed wishes to learn japanese again and it was smooth-sailing unlike last time. It's like... because I have a reason, I can stay interested. I see that it's really important for me to really want to learn a language to get the grasp of it. It's totally different from just wanting to learn for the sake of learning new things.

Future
Something I don't want to think of now

I miss this place.

SIGH.

Seeing other people updating their blog inspires me to update mine too... but I'm not ready yet to share some thoughts I have that have been dwelling on these few months. It's a little hard to do that now. *stares into space*

So...erm.. I'll blog about something that I can reveal for now first.

Firstly, starting from this post, I'm going to include some snippets from my other blogs which you may or may not continue reading there. :P
I'd been thinking back and forth on creating just one main blog (which includes music diary, fangirling & review posts) but I decided to continue with the separate style... so yeah.

Secondly, I WANT AN OHNO SATOSHI SUMMER DORAMA! Grrghhgh. I miss watching him in action. I need a new dorama. He needs to have a new dorama every season to make up for all that years he wasn't in doramas on TV (WHERE WERE YOU, OHNO? STAGEPLAYS. BUT I CAN'T WATCH YOUR STAGEPLAYS!).

[Fangirl mode : ON]

There'd been rumours since two months ago. It started with "謎解きはディナーの後で" (originally was Sho's dorama rumour) which supposedly includes Yamada Yu and Tanihara Shosuke. And then another one with Takei Emi for "美男ですね" (a korean drama remake). "美男ですね" was confirmed for summer but the cast is different. (I don't wish for this one to happen anyway :P). Then there was one about a war dorama too, which includes MatsuJun. (I think there's another one but I that wasn't much mentioned)

RUMOURS. BLEH.

Oh...He might have chosen to do butai (stageplay) too, right? The last one was three years ago..& he does have more interest in butais compared to dorama.. (¬_¬)

Almost all summer doramas have been announced so...I guess... a dorama in fall season maybe? *hopeful*
