So lyn went to the SJ-M fanmeeting on my behalf since she was in the area even though she can barely tell Han Geng from Zhou Mi or Donghae from Siwon apart. But apparently, she can tell which is Henry. Just jotting down all the things she can remember in no particular order. Also if she got the boys wrong, pardon her. She only really knows Ryeowook :D

I was reading about Tiger Woods' mistresses and that second one totally made my aniki and I go, "GURL! You are not the sharpest knife, are you?" Other than landing for herself one of the richest dude, the rest of the stuff regarding her make scandals look lame.
Miss Jaimee Grubbs
- Sold her story for... US$100,000
- Failed to pay off credit card balance... US$868.07
- Criminal record for... shoplifting a coat from a department store
- Had sex with Woods since 2007... 20 times
- New pictures of her surfaced... semi-nude
Jaimee Grubbs told reporters about going public with their affair, "I hope he can forgive me for doing this and I know he probably can't. Whatever happens with Elin, I hope Tiger and I can reconnect and remain good friends."
If you had kept shut, both of you most probably would have. Not that I condone affairs but I thought mistresses are smarter than that. With her, I am surprised they even lasted 31 months.
ps. lyn is in taipei getting ready for the sj-m fanmeet for my sake... just that she only recognises geng and her favourite, wook and probably henry if he is carrying his violin. still telling her to throw the cookbook at wook from her 5th floor area :P
ps2. oh yah jlpt! s-t-u-d-y-i-n-g right?

I was looking at the cap richi made and another bout of happiness hit me (after seeing where ogu-san was yesterday).
Top-left corner. Yes, that is TOP and Big Bang sitting just metres away from Arashi!!! <333 *SQUEEL* And our boys look so cute especially the spacey waiter and the screw loose.

I burnt a pot today...
It was not my fault really! I blame my lil bro. I was heating up the lodeh when that imp asked me if I can cook maggi for him since he was in a hurry. I did so and promptly forgot about the other pot. Good thing it was on low heat but bye-bye to the santan lemak as it totally evaporated. And another good thing my mom was not home else she would lament over the loss food (more than the pot).
I need to scrub the pot now.

I think...
THIS IS THE BEST MAGGI CURRY I HAVE EVER COOKED!
Must be the new pot I used.
Or I am hungry.
Then again, I am always hungry.
I think the second batch I cooked is not bad either
(so far no complains from the lil monkey in the room who is eating it).
What to eat next?
PS. Chocolate Oreo cookies that expired in 2008 are still edible - though no longer as crunchy.

The big, old CRT television set finally decides to give up the goat after years of service so abah bought a new one today - 32" Sony Bravia LCD. After plugging it in, he handed me the remote and said, "Here! You have the honour of finding the channels."
As usual, that is my job because I am very particular that way along with fine-tuning the television set. I never read manuals ever. I also wanted to test if the dvd player works well so I asked him what he wanted to watch.
Abah: Where is that "Letters from Iwo Jima"?
Me: Eh! You want to watch that again?
Abah: Yes, I want to see that.
Abah: Then later halfway in the movie, that Arashi member will stop and start singing and dancing.
Me: Wah! How come I watched it before but never see Arashi appearance?
Abah: Got! They sing 'lucky lucky roti canai roti kirai roti canai' song.
Oh dad! He also said that this movie is still way better than "Flags of Our Fathers" - that is why he wants to watch it again. Good thing I love watching war movies too.

I just heard snippets of V6's Taiwan concert from lyn and I am in awe! Firstly because I understood what they were talking about (okay it was the introduction but still...). Secondly, they are hilarious but the part I love the most was the fans' voices as they sang "ONE". They sounded so good! It was collective singing in harmony and NOT screaming out lyrics. I hope Arashi fans can sound as good. I agree with what lyn said that Arashi still has a lot to learn from their seniors - Good! Keep learning and improving boys! Us fans will also practice our singing too XD
Here is a news coverage of the concert (starts at 2:20).
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JUNCHAN!!! Or as what me and lyn call him, KANKEINAI.
Ara-30 & Ara-40 still doing backflips off high stages and dancing like younguns! I am in a V6 appreciative mood tonight!

X-posted from my vox because really this is a "WHAT THE SHINGZ!" moment.
Arashi is confirmed for this year's Kohaku but the biggest kicker is... NYC Boys too?!?!
Not only FNS but how is it these kids are also appearing in a show that has been touting "Only 2 Johnny's Allowed" ruling for the last decade or so? What the...
Spies! I would like the same to know connections that Nakayama Yuma has because it is obviously NOT for Yamada or Chinen who have already debuted and once NYC Boys dissolves, they would be back in Hey! Say! Jump.
How is it that this Kansai-based Jr suddenly appeared out of nowhere to land himself leading roles in dramas, gain a bunch of temporary units based on HIS name and is now performing in FNS and Kohaku before the year ends?
What is it about this particular kid that is garnering so much attention of Johnny? What makes him the "Golden IT Boy 2009"?
It is a mystery.

Not feeling too happy with how I did for my paper just now.
You know those last minute changes you do to your answers only to realise later that your initial answers were correct.
...
Still beating myself up over such careless mistakes.
I was going to take a break from anything Japanese for the rest of the night but then, I saw Utaban.
Ah Arashi! I wish Shochi had done my paper for me. I would say Kachang but that brat will probably fail on purpose.
Emoing right now.
Next up is listening/dictation/kanji on Friday and oral on Saturday.
Wish me the best of luck for those so I can advance next year.
*emits emoness*
PS. I was telling Jess how the article by MSN-Enta made me laugh because it seems that the tv channels are saying,
"We are milking Arashi for all its worth because they are hot commodity right now. But more importantly, they only cost 1/3 of Smap and you will still get all 5 members."
Haha poor thing our boys! Cheap labour. Pay less for more. Cost effective measures. Take care of yourselves, boys.
PS2. Found written in my notes from poly today,
"Patience is a virtue. So is fishing."
I do not even know where that came from.

Ohno! My mom just pointed out that BOTH my nieces are showing signs of my worst personalities divided between them (which in turn makes it double-worse for me).
Alesha = Extreme stubbornness/bochupness
- When someone calls out to her, if she does not feel like it, she will refuse to acknowledge their presence.
Marissa = Extreme stinginess with food
- My sister bought the wassants that we like and wanted to leave a pack here. She took it, hugged it to herself and said, "NO! It's mine, MINE!"
I seriously do not think I was all THAT bad when I was a kid!
PS. I got my mom to do Kara's "Mister" butt dance.

I am currently in love with EXILE's new song "Futatsu no Kuchibiru" (theme song for "Tokyo Dogs"). And holy shoot! They have such a bad-ass, action-packed music video for it. EXILE POLICE FTW!
So effing cool!
EXILE continues to amuse me for looking all scarily serious but when they talk, they are so polite, well-mannered and gets along amazingly with ARASHI (especially considering that most of their releases coincides).
PS. I cannot stop watching the MSMQ talk (I NEED THE WHOLE MS LIKE RIGHT NOW) because our dear lil brat was up to his snarky ways again haha poor Hiro-san, you had just been accidentally nominated as the new "big bro" for Arashi and earned yourself five extra souls to feed! And I was watching SID's reaction to the whole thing... Aki totally cannot keep up his composure as the "cool, collected, mysterious" type. The other three, the rest of Exile and Otsuka Ai were of course laughing along too. Such a fun group!

Dear and I were discussing how my life can be made into a K-drama with all the airport and hospital visits. Cliche settings are cliche. Like what I previously said, I would take visiting the airport any day over the hospital but...
It always seem there is a specific concentrated period of visits to either place happening.
The latest reason to visit the hospital would be for my grandmother who suddenly could not feel her arm and they said there is a possibility of a blood clot so she is scheduled for surgery soon. Please pray all goes well.
My bil is suffering from the adult version of HFMD which he contracted from my two nieces. Not nice! Pray he gets well soon.
As dear said, "You're Beautiful" is so cliche, you get sucked into the terribleness of it. You have to watch it at least ONCE because you would probably never repeat the drama. Right Go Mi Nam? I melt every time hyungnim says it in that deep, velvety voice of his. And Shin Woo-hyung is kyaaaaaaaaaa-worthy!
The only thing lacking from my K-drama (as zu pointed out) is the number of male leads. Well, I have my harem so that accounts for something right? But where is the real 2-3 men fighting for my affection???

X-posted from my vox.
To one of the biggest boyband in the world (like seriously 13+2 is no small number),
슈퍼주니어 4주년 축하합니다!!!
The first time I learned about Super Junior came from Kia about 2 years ago. She tried to convert me but to no avail because my stubborn stance was "Only Arashi". I was then exposed to their music performance (i think it was "u") in the now-defunct Mise. My initial impression of them is typical of a non-Kpop follower, which many can vouch for, is rather unflattering and mean (or as rinjin would remind me oh-so-often, "you're such an asshole."):
1) "Woah! Can the group get any BIGGER?"
2) "Bwahahaha! They have a fat one in there."
3) "Poor fat one! The camera barely even focus on him before it moves on to the other members."
To Shindong, I sincerely apologise. You are a bigger person than I will ever be (no pun intended).
Fast-forward to end of last year when I got interested to learn more about of Korean music due to (shochi's imitation of wondergirls and) Big Bang. Janjan was in town and I had to study for JLPT (yeah right! you know i usually winged it). Since we set our laptops side-by-side, I was simultaneously watching Big Bang and a show called "Exploration of the Human Body". I did not know any of the members but I distinctively remembered one of them had really nice abs.
Earlier this year after a night-out with Kia (who was still trying to convert me) and Zu, they subjected me to a marathon of "Full House" and "We Got Married". By the next morning, I could more or less pick out the chinaman, the diva, the gorgeous, the smart ass, the cute, the weird-looking and the bear.
Due to my chinaman/gorgeous-bias, I was recommended the sub-unit "Super Junior M" (ah! all the controversy that surrounds them) with the snarky, the tiny, the violin kid and the other chinaman. Once I figured that out, it was a matter of eliminating the leftover members: the dimpled leader, the lee jun ki lookalike, the fat one as i already know.
Feeling very satisfied with myself, I forgot there is still ONE left - the act cute, loves pink, reminds me of a bunny and because of that, he is still known as "WHO" to me.
My wish for Super Junior is simply for them to continue doing whatever they enjoy without feeling pressured by the society or ELFs. I hope to attend one of their Super Show soon.
PS. I remember watching this particular Star King for Charice Pempengco and barely acknowledging the group of guys in there haha.

Started watching "You're Beautiful" (finally realised that is the title of the drama) and certain things made me LOL especially since it is based on Korean idols.
1- Hongki as the slightly-dense-but-happy-go-lucky one who waves, smiles and signs for fans as he walks pass.
Psh! As if. That boy barely glanced at ANYONE the whole time he was here and do not tell me it was due to him being sick and tired (of working more like). I think I might follow F.T.Triple just for that reason. But the fact that he acts TOTALLY the opposite of how he is like in real life and comes off really, really clueless-naive-adorable is ... yeah I have no complains about his acting ability. Oh Jeremy!
2- Girl disguising as her twin brother and is part of a boyband.
Hahaha! Are they trying to sound that all Korean boyband actually has a member who is really a girl? My bet is on WHO *cough*if you catch my drift*cough* Or maybe Ryeowook. And the fact that no one notices is even more ... Unless you are a certified flat-chested person with a tomboyish personality, it is very, very hard to come off as a dude. Or it could be a guy in a girlband ... Oh Amber~~~!
3- All Korean idols have some kind of sad. tear-inducing hidden past with family members trying to get recognition after they become famous.
Reason why you should never abandon your kid.
4- Korean fangirls/netizens have no life and are crazy.
We know that already.
5- Every story is not what they are supposed to be.
Some many assumptions, so many fake tales, so many lies.
The part where she has to memorise the facts about other idol bands is hilarious.
"Name all the 1213 members of Super Junior."
The songs in the drama are not bad. Oh! And he has the same red pencil sharpener as me.
PS. No matter how good your disguise is, the cleverer members would probably figure it out very early on because you cannot hide your femininity.
PS2. It sucks to be the second leading man. He never gets the girl.
PS3. From the start, JGS looks and portrayal so reminds me of another dragon of a leader.
PS4. OHMYGAWD! HE HATES RABBITS TOO. Who says rabbits are cute and innocent are liars. They are vicious, mean, evil little creatures yes they are. The only kind I like are herbed and stewed in a pot. Pigs are scary too. If you keep a pig hungry enough, they eat anything and leave no evidence.
PS5. I love taking random long bus rides too.

The 2 year old niece strikes again! My sister told me today about her listing down who loves whom in the family.
"Papa loves mama."
"Mama loves papa."
"Papa loves Marissa."
"Marissa loves adik."
So on and so forth. Then my sister asked her whom do I love and her reply,
"Bik Mit (as what she calls me) loves Arashi ONLY."
...
Seriously!
In terms of her exposure to Arashi, I have cut down a lot. Jess was asking me whether I spammed her with Big Bang and Super Junior too but when I think about it, she has known about Arashi even BEFORE birth.
While I do show her Big Bang and Super Junior videos, I never really introduced the members. But she had always known all the members in Arashi.
In other words, Arashi is practically familly - her 5 uncles from Japan (must train alesha now).
Also, her English grammar and vocabulary impresses us especially when she uses terms like "'s" to indicate ownership and words like "only" and "too" to emphasize her sentences.
But it only works when she is fully wide-awake.

So today is one of my male cousin's BIG ENGAGEMENT party (do not even get me started on it) when my lil bro thought it would be a fine day to get whacked on the hand, shoulder and head with a floorball stick. And that idiot made his own way to the party while feeling all woozy.
My parents could not get away yet since my dad was the main representative of the day so my sis, bil and I took him to the clinic (he threw up in the car but lucky got plastic bag). Then with a referral letter, we took him to A&E. Thankfully, after the 3 injections, the dizziness has subsided (and then he started complaining he is hungry and made us buy food for him) and the scans were clear (Alhamdulillah!). Though, they still kept him over for 24 hours observation.
I am damn pissed at the club he is playing for. I have no idea where the fucking coach and manager were but apparently, no one had the brains to send him to the clinic or something especially when your teammate passed out from getting a hit even momentarily that you had to pull him aside before he regained conciousness and even allowed said-teammate to go off on his own after that. So bloody mad right now!
And I am pissed at my lil bro too because it is so hard to get him to talk and tell us what happened. But everyone knows the only person he would willingly confide in and is very manja with is me so having my presence there, at least he speaks.
