The sense of smell

Yes.. the sense of smell. Today have been quite a smell-ey day for me. My morning was greeted with the F4's (freeloader 4) vomit. Someone must have fed them milk, causing them to puke not only milk and some funny shaped unidentified object but also tape worm again!! I was really angry la. They could have vomited somewhere else.. maybe in the drain or the person's house who gave them milk or somewhere else. The smell was so MILKYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY. After that, there's this fur kinda smell. cat's b.o and it's really really strong. Milk + fur smell.. Had to hold my breath to clean it. That's the back of my house. In front of my house (the garden) I can smell cat poop. Ahhh..it's making me think twice whether to see cats as pets or not. Don't make me catnip you guys!!

Just in case anyone is curious about how did I clean the vomit+fur smell.. I use Listerine, Vinegar and TOP detergent. *shivers* Somehow I can still smell the vomit although I've cleaned it thoroughly. Maybe it's because I was the one who clean it.

I don't mind them hanging around my house compound.. but pleaseeeee don't vomit tape worms and shit here.

I realize that I play the role of a worms/bugs/insect killer when Dad's not at home. Whenever mum or sis saw something related to those 3 categories mentioned earlier, the first thing they do is to call for me. Just now mummy saw a centipede and called for me. I wanted to sweep it and throw it outside but mummy insist that I should crush it. So I crushed it and you can hear *insert potato chips munching sound* and guess what my mum said? "Must be very crispy ah"

On a better note, I won a contest hahaha. A package which consists of Rilakkuma's snack and some other goods will be mailing to be straight from the Land of the Rising Sun. =)

There is nothing permanant but change

The thing about being on break is you have all the time to update your blog but there's nothing to blog about.

I've been watching quite some shows related to "Life" lately. Is the topic of Life a new boom among audiences lately? Hmm..I guess people just like to watch about things that they can relate to or things that might happened to them some day later. Among all these 'slice of life' type of drama, I like "Tengoku de kimi ni aetara" (If I can meet you in heaven) the best. It's not the average lead actor was diagnosed with cancer and die in the end type of story cause it was narrated from the psychiatrist's point of view.

Honestly after taking Communication, I look at technology differently. There was this topic on fandom about why people are so emotionally disturbed when their favorite celebrities passed away or when something happened to them. One reason is of course It's because you like them. But why do u like them? It's because technology have created a para-social relationship between your favorite celebrity and you. It feels like you're having a face to face interaction with them and you'll feel like they're your friend. See how technology alters our emotion. The explanation is a whole lot longer..but I'm lazy to explain further and it will be boring haha. But if you're interested to know..u can leave a comment and I'll blog about it next time.

Maybe I should get a part time job at Etude House instead of sitting behind technology. Haha My semester break is till next March. I have some plans but I don't think it's sufficient to last me till next year. Ahh

Everybody knows but no one really know

Officially on semester break... Officially hired as a full time free loader! But I still have to study for my upcoming Japanese proficiency test which will take place worldwide I'm glad and relief but worry at the same time. My communication paper was alright.. but the assignment portion is really driving me nuts. But I shall put it aside first and think about it some other time.

Came home.. and the first thing I did was to load "You're Beautiful" online. Even my sister agrees that it's better than Boys Over Flower! I don't regret watching it at all.

Did I mention that I have a heart shaped bruise on my leg a couple of days ago?

Sigh.. Suddenly I don't remember what I wanted to blog about. There's so many things that I wanna update but just can't seems to recall and I don't wanna end up blogging about the weather which will bore all of u out. So I'll stop here for today. Nights!

We Got Married

Firstly.. I'm sorry if you find the twitter pop up asking for your username and password annoying. This is because some britney spam guy/girl keep following my twitter even though I've blocked them like n times. So I decided to lock my tweets. But I'll unlock it soon so no worries about it? Haha

Remeber Maki the cat? It's very naughty and playful Haha. He likes to peep in from the corner and see what are we doing in the kitchen. And always attempt to sneak into the house. When I serve them food, he'll rush to the bowl with Mikan while the other 2 kittens just hide behind the pots watching them. So cute la he

Watched 'We Got Married' to take a break from Communication just now. It's a Korean reality show which features top stars fakely getting married. I didn't really like the idea of this show and refuse to watch it initially. But when diva Kwon's in it, you know you wanna watch it! I don't regret it la cause Kwon's really funny! With a macho tough wife like Ga In, he still manage to take the lead despite he's younger than her.

It's Wednesday! Haha the day You're Beautiful go on air. Tomorrow too

And yes.. I'm a day closer to Friday! I've been accumulating lots of videos for my days after Friday. Can't wait for it!

A month of fame

Haha guess who made it into the November's issue of どりあんなび (Durian Navi) magazine? It feels even better when you have a copy delivered to your house.

Actually.. it was just a tiny picture of my sister and I actually the entire Japanese class was featured in Nishio sensei's (My Japanese teacher)column. It was about her mum and friend's trip to Malaysia. One of the main attraction of the trip is to visit our class haha.

And..the magazine was delivered to my house because I subscribe to it. Haha Why am I excited over a small fry. Makes me look attention seeking only. I'll make a scan of it later

Hmm I don't know whats wrong with my nose today. For a sec, I can smell grass. Then, pond and the next sec, I smell cat poop.

will update more later la

Lastly, Happy Birthday, Ryo! Our favorite Osaka man haha

The Fruit of Midsummer

Happy 11th birthday to Kenshiro. It must have been really hard for a dog at such age to play around and be active like it used to be. Your owner really cherishes you, you lucky dog!

I'm way behind my study schedule and I really need to stop listening to those power house vocals emo songs! Oh

You know what.. There are 2 things that I really regret not buying from Taiwan 2 years ago! whats with the sudden change of topic? I think I've mentioned this before in the old blog, but will blog about it again cause I'm feeling the regret-ness now. Dayum! I should have bought the Seishun Amigo single. It's dirt cheap and I hesitated? Whats wrong with me?? And the second item.. Southern All Star's (SAS)album! I was holding it, preparing to buy it but why did I put it back?!?! Bodoh! They're a little old but their songs are really good! I personally love Tsunami and Manatsu no Kajitsu (The fruit of Midsummer) the most! My Japanese teacher loves SAS too!

There were a couple of remakes of Manatsu no Kajitsu..but no one beats Kuwata Keisuke (lead singer of SAS). EXILE's version was really beautiful but not enough emotions/spirit inside and their vocal range is not as big as Kuwata. Jackie Cheung's one is alright and so is Bonnie Pink. The worst was this group called A.G.E Not only they didn't do justice for the song..but totally killed it. SAS songs are very very hard to sing because of the octaves! But I really wish to see Tsuyoshi performing a SAS song. He definitely have the amount of emotions to sing it! He totally pwn the song Shirushi, a very emotional song (in my opinion) originally by Mr. Children.

I also enjoy SAS' collaboration with Mr. Children! Mr. Children are really good musicians and they're on my MUST BUY list when I go to Taiwan again next time which I don't know when So many CDs and DVDs to buy when I visit Taiwan. They'll probably mistaken me as a DVD seller or something.

Wow.. I actually did a Music entry.. how rare.Haha I usually try to avoid writing something music-ey cause I'm not so much of a music junkie and I don't know much about music. Though I took American Music and Asian Music in Uni Talking about Asian music, SAS was mentioned in my Asian Music unit book heh.

There were people who ask me "Did u listen to SAS because of Yamapi?" The answer is No. The person who intro-ed SAS to me was actually Yun Ho. He listed Tsunami as one of his "currently addicted song" years ago. I find it foreign, so went and Youtube it and really really liked that song.

Haha do you know this song is actually an insert song for Tsuyoshi's drama "Moto Kare"? When I heard it in that show..I was like OOOHH!!

I'll be blogging on another Japanese musician some time soon! Look forward to it

Oh my.. just re read this entry and finds the flow really bad! Sorry bout it! haha too lazy to edit it

Loveless

Excuse me for the fan girl moment! But it's November already!! The month when my Number 1 is gonna release his 2nd solo single. *points at the calender which had November 18th circled* I'm so excited! It's been so long!! Looks like I can put Daite Senorita aside and start playing Loveless! and his Mola routine's really nice! I wanna learn!



Wonder of the day..
Yesterday, I called Clair and asked her something
C: Clair R: Rene

R: Why is Honggi's voice so powerful? I mean how he train huh?
C: I heard from my cousin la that he used to sing in a choir
R: I used to sing in a choir also what. 4 years somemore. But why no power at all? Not even 1/10 of him.
C: How come your voice like that huh?
R: Got 2nd place in some Choir competition you know

Haha yeahh makes me wonder what did I learn from 4 years of Choir. I remember my choir teacher said that I have very good expression. So all along I've only been working on the expression? Sigh..I really wish that my singing voice is a little bit bit more powerful and higher..Don't have to be like the Wonder Girls, BoA or even Mariah Carey..just a lil bit stronger. I don't wanna sound like a cat.

Something's gonna happen tomorrow 2PM KST. It's time to face reality... I'm not asking for a good news.I'm just hoping for something positive, please.
