:+: Fine after rain :+:

There's nothing like hearing a fave song of yours being played on radio even though you have downloaded it from the net . That feeling's just something you can't explain at all .

What am I talking about ? Earlier on , KAT-TUN's On My Mind was played on Yes 933FM & someone in a KAT-TUN LiveJournal community told me last week that 933 tends to play the Oricon top5 hits every Sun from 10-11pm with a bit of KPop thrown in for good measures & because the guys's 9th single ONE DROP was #1 last week , the radio DJs played On My Mind earlier on which surprised me because I thought they might play the A-side but ah to hear it on the radio it's just <3 .

I don't know whether other radio stations in S'pore played JPop as I'm more or less lost touch with the radio scene but at least now I know every Sun 10-11pm , I will be tuning into 933 for sure & I can't wait to hear RESCUE on air =D . If not , then the 2 B-sides on the single I also don't mind at all .

I'm probably be tuning into 933 next Sat afternoon just to hear On My Mind again hahaha because this's what I found on their site :

星期天晚上10点首播/星期六下午2点重播

so yup hee .

1 thing's for sure , I guess I will be tuning into 933 specially every Sun night just to hear them play the top 5 hits from last week's Oricon chart & I suppose I will be able to hear ayumi hamasaki's Rule / Sparkle , ARASHI's Believe / Kumori Nochi , Kaisei in the weeks to come .

This's a bit early but a HUGE happy birthday to the K in KAT-TUN ie. Kamenashi Kazuya =D =D =D who turns 23 tomorrow . Hopefully Irene has something planned for him or not lmao but YAY to this gorgeous & handsome guy who can knock me & Irene out big time with eyeliner , eyeshadow & black fingernails anytime of the day wheee & dude please lose the perm ;p

Only Domoto Tsuyoshi & Matsumoto Jun can rock the perm but NOT you .

Ok I'm done with fangirling for today & onto something solemn in that I want to observe a min of slience now because it's exactly 3 years ago on this day that my friend Tracie has passed on .

The memories of my friendship with her still lingers on after so long & yeah I still do miss her very much . I'm quite sure she's in a great place now where there's no more suffering on her part now .

Here's to you Tracie , KAT-TUN's PRECIOUS ONE .

I haven't done this for a long time so it's good for me to let off steam now & it's probably the 1st time that I went to bed last night feeling so utterly pissed/annoyed at some idiot .

1) YOU said that I keep changing my avater on AHS on a very frequent basis . Who're you to dictate on what I do on every nook & cranny that I do on AHS ?

2) YOU put words into my mouth . I never said that Aoyama Thelma's songs were boring , it's just her videos that I find them a major bore so zip it !

3) YOU keep picking on me for every jpop CD/item that I purchase/post in the Asian Collection Thread & even mentioned that my jpop collection's so big & how do I find the time to manage it . SO WHAT it's ?! Other people have even more things than me but I don't say anything about it & it's really no big deal .

Besides it's my $ that I'm using to buy & not yours to expand my jpop collection so deal with it .

4) are YOU crying/desperate for attention on the forum ? Probably so , if not how do you explain the numerous posts that you make everyday since appearing outta nowhere til 2-3 weeks ago in which probably 1/2 of it are classified as spam .

5) why do you care so much on when I logged onto AHS ? I'm pretty much real annoyed with the whole 'omg Karen you're back online' blah blah blah . It's not like I'm the only person you know/talk on there , you closet freak .

Are you stalking me in secret ? I'm more or less grow sick of you & your nonsense you heard ? & because of you , I'm now very afraid of coming on AHS . As the last resort , I will put YOU on my ignore list should this persist on .

& I thought being nice to you was ok initally but you more or less have pushed my limits & looks like my resolution for 2009 in not being so nice to people is finally paying off .

OK rant over .

RESCUE's just awesome , be it song or drama . I didn't want to watch it initally because of the concept/story plot behind it but after I watched Ousama no Brunch where Nakamaru & Masuda mentioned on how much back brickering work they put into , I had to see it in which I did so earlier on when I watched the 1st 2 episodes on streaming on mysoju & needless to say I'm very impressed on what RESCUE had to offer .

Considering that it's Maru's 1st role in a drama , he has done himself well & Masuda's ain't 1/2 bad either . The 2nd episode ended on a cliffhanger where it's just too shocking for words & I just hate it when bad things happened :(

Oh well , reality's usually more cruel than what you see in reel life . So this means I have 3 dramas that I will be juggling to watch in the form of Uta no Oii-san , Kami no Shizuku & now RESCUE .

It's a lot but I can manage ... I hope haha

& earlier on in the morning , I saw pics of Maru & the DoS Ueda on the new POPEYE magazine & gaaa brain short circuited especially for Ueda @_@ . I know he has a buff body but after seeing what he had to offer in POPEYE mag , *thud*

Guess you can say that more of less all of KAT-TUN has been growing on me , be it music or members wise & things have more or less shifted gear for me in which I couldn't be more happier about . That's not to say that I don't support the other Johnny's . I still do but KT takes priority for me at this point in time .

& what a cool way to celebrate Valentine's Day of sorts in which it's just a day where you get lousy excuses to jack up the prices of roses & chocolates & what's not .

===

So ayumi hamasaki will be releasing her new album NEXT LEVEL on 25th next month & naturally people I know are flipping out over this new release & especially because of the fact that it will be out in 4 different editions in which the last one's , her material will be housed in a 2GB thumbdrive which's designed like her 10th anniversary logo .

Not to forget , it will be out exactly a month later after Rule / Sparkle & the same thing has happened to alan too .

I probably am the only 1 who doesn't get it on why people are flipping out that the thumbdrive's already sold out on most online sites . It's just an IT gadget filled with her new album's material . Like you will die if you don't get 1 . I probably can ask someone to replicate the design & then in return I will have something like the real McCoy & that I will pay it for 1/2 or probably 3/4 of the original price .

The thumbdrive's selling for 6,800 Yen which's retarded . I think you can buy a 2GB thumbdrive for $20/30 since it's so cheap now & for people to be flipping out about this in that they can't get their hands on it anymore , I don't get it at all . Not to mention , is it worth it in the 1st place ?

To me definitely not as it's stupid to pay $250+ for it inclusive of shipping . I can make my $ worth with $250+ & there's a limit on how much I can go . Like as much as I support ayumi & other top notch acts (imo) such as ARASHI , BREAKERZ , KAT-TUN , there's no way I can shell out that kinda amount to 1 artiste , let alone all of them .

It's not the end of the world anyway . Besides I already have an 8GB thumbdrive & I use her 10th anniversary logo keychain to attach the thumbdrive on it in which I'm more than contented about .

& the other group of people who're flipping out over this are the ones who're buying her Rule / Sparkle singles . Well I wouldn't blame them but thankfully I'm not affected by this since I don't have any singles of ayumi at all so I gladly wait for the album to be out in due time .

Lyrics Of KAT-TUN's On My Mind which's the 2nd B-side in ONE DROP & it's only available in the 1st press CD only copy .

credits - http://futari-love.livejournal.com

Baby please come back, I can't tell you that
What can't return
When it goes
Ask with the flow
I just wanna forget

For that answer that wasn't told
Saying one more time
Getting out of the mouth, looking
At the front, then it wasn't said

Everytime you remember the chance you gave
I want forever
Without caring about the chance you gave
That's why always, anytime, I'm yours
Stay in my mind

Baby please come back, I can't tell you that
What can't return
When it goes and
Even now I keep moving on
I think of your return, Again it enters
The thought that doesn't go away from time ago
I thing you pray, I just wanna forget

The way it blossoms, My friend, a meeting
A thing that we just wanna hear
You don't have to touch
Why is it of your concern?
Exiting without success
No kiss, no mind, you can't turn off
You're still on my mind

Baby please come back, I can't tell you that
What can't return
When it goes and
Even now I keep moving on
I think of your return, Again it enters
The thought that doesn't go away from time ago
I thing you pray, I just wanna forget

Every time it passes that city
Every time he exits that train station thinking
That pain can pass from one to another
Without being concious
Even then only for my mind

Baby please come back, I can't tell you that
What can't return
When it goes and
Even now I keep moving on
I think of your return, Again it enters
The thought that doesn't go away from time ago
I thing you pray, I just wanna forget

Baby please come back, I can't tell you that
What can't return
When it goes and
Even now I keep moving on
I think of your return, Again it enters
The thought that doesn't go away from time ago
I thing you pray, I just wanna forget

I so love the song , it's 1 of their more stripped down & very mellow B-sides that they have come up so far which's so good that it hurts .

The 2nd B-side of the guys's next single after ONE DROP ie. RESCUE is titled On Your Mind -Please come back to me- which is an interesting title because it's an answer call of sorts to On My Mind so naturally I'm very excited to get RESCUE in due time .

But before that , come on YesAsia , ship out my copy of ONE DROP like NOW !

I'm so relieved that my injuries have more or less been healed after sustaining quite a bad fall in the rain on Wed . I still had a bit of problem walking as my right kneecap's still not healed 100% but I guess in days to come , I will be able to make a full recovery which's such a huge relief on my part .

I went back to school earlier on today to discuss & finished up writing the Marketing group report with 2 of my groupmates that my tutorial lecturer randomly allocated to . That goes for the topic as well & I'm very lucky that my 2 groupmates are very selfless & willing to contribute their share , if not even more for this assignment as everyone understands the important/seriousness on how this will eventually affect our overall grade for Marketing which's really cool .

If I happened to be stuck with people who're free riders & etc , that's gonna be a nightmare but thankfully all 3 of us finished up the report & things went on rather smoothly from there :D

Now what's left in the marketing presentation that will be taking place in April & I'm all done for this portion of the module .

Man I'm probably cursed or something because just now , I fell down AGAIN when I was climbing up the stairs to my house's lift & it's just suai on my part .

I probably must have lost my footing or I just slipped as it was pouring very heavily when I was walking up the stairs .

Either that or that particular flight of stairs is cursed because this's the 2nd time that I fell on the exact same spot which's so freaky .

My left big toe was chipped in the process when I fell upfront & I also injured my right kneecap which's mega OUCH . My toe was bleeding when I got back home & blood continue to flow until I used medicated oil to stop the bleeding & I also applied some to my right kneecap .

I think next time I should hold the stairs railings whenever I climb up or down in future . If not , I just avoid climbing that particular flight of stairs which led to the lift of my house .

Later on I'm going to worry as to how will this affect the way I sleep :S
