updates of a part2er

Feb 28, 2010


Permalink 

Just a quick notice first to let you guys know all posts related to K-pop will now be moved to The Lollidella ^^ So any posts to do with Rain and MBLAQ and YGE artists will now be posted there.

Sorry for the lack of proper updates, but I have been doing proper studying and catching up with school work so there's almost no time. I don't even update my Twitter properly anymore =(

I'm eating instant noodles right now because I missed the delicious Sunday brunch because my roommate decided to be mean and not wake me up. Why I can't wake up in the first place was partly her fault.

To be fair I feel more and more miserable sharing a room with her but I can't back out like I did last time because it's just not fair to her. I mean, a person has a certain level of tolerance and mine for her is just exhausted. I just have to tolerate the weeks before Easter holidays and not erupt on her before then. Sigh.

My mood right now is Look Only At Me, Part 2. Since I am also addicted to Lollipop 2 (more info here), so I might as well modify partner into part2er. Ha ha.

I gotta go now. More updates when I'm not so busy!

Rewind the years...

Feb 18, 2010


Permalink 

...back to 2002.

And see who this was!



Yes, that's me. Blessing my good memory, I can even tell I was reading an Enid Blyton book at that time, and the book in front of me is titled The House By The Sea. If I looked grumpy, that was probably for warding off any potential disturbers.




Can you tell which one was me?

I can hardly recognise myself, I don't know how my ex-classmates can recognise me after so long. And yes, bangs do bring out the worst in me I guess.

Maybe I should try getting bangs again.

The (first?) UK YUI-Lover outing

Feb 15, 2010


Permalink 


After one month of chatting on the YUI-Lover Forum, MonkOfWar, pandas who read this scares me (or just pandas) and me, xinping2016, met up outside the busy Leicester Square tube station on a wet 14th February, which this year is both Chinese New Year and Valentine's Day.

The three of us went to the Japan Centre for dinner. MonkOfWar told us about his guitars, and his cover attempts, and we talked about ourselves for a bit, and discussed which are her best A-side songs. After dinner, MonkOfWar got a waiter to take a picture of us three YLs. I still remember her name is Tsubasa. We must had looked quite weird, MonkOfWar looked like a father of both me and pandas. A few Hong Kong people sitting to my left kept giving us funny looks because we look Chinese but kept conversing in English (laughs).

After a bit of dilemma with splitting the bill (we ended up paying unequally, with me paying the least), we walked around the Leicester Square area for a bit before settling for ice-cream at McDonalds. There we talked about various things, from Terminator to Naruto to Star Wars.

Come 9-ish PM, we decided to call the outing to an end. We parted at the Leicester Square tube station, MonkOfWar and pandas went on the Northern Line while I went on the Picadilly Line.

On the way back home, YUI's voice accompanied me:

Tari nai kinou ni obore
Yume ni kaita kyou
Soro wa nakute mo yeah yeah

Yoakemae no matataku hoshi wa
Kiete itta no?
Asu he itta no?

Tomorrow never knows
It’s happy line

Earth Hour 2010

Feb 15, 2010


Permalink 

After writing a flaming entry on my blog last year about my dearest countrymen's lack of concern about climate change, I decide there is no excuse for them this time because I will make sure they know about Earth Hour early, and really go about switching off the lights.

Here's everything you need to know about Earth Hour, so you can throw your ignorance excuse out the window RIGHT NOW. I insist, and I shall presist.

What is Earth Hour?
Earth Hour is a global call to action to every individual, every business and every community throughout the world. It is a call to stand up, to take responsibility, to get involved and lead the way towards a sustainable future. People across the world from all walks of life will turn off their lights and join together in celebration and contemplation of the one thing we all have in common – our planet.

Who organised this?
Earth Hour is organized by WWF. With almost 5 million supporters and a global network in over 100 countries, it’s one of the world's largest and most respected independent conservation organizations. WWF’s mission is to stop the degradation of the Earth's natural environment and build a future where people live in harmony with nature.

Why should I listen to you and switch off my lights for an hour? Like I am that jobless!
Earth Hour isn't about how jobless you are. It is about how much you care about the planet you are living on. If you don't take care of it, one day it's bound to take care of you very well, and it's not going to be a pretty sight when it does.

Earth Hour is something you should definitely consider joining if you are:

  1. buried in debts and loans, and is worrying about the exponentially growing digits on your electricity bill.
  2. someone who cares about the environment and your future generations of children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
  3. extremely rich and is looking for a chance to be snobby.
  4. extremely middle class but have an inflated pride.


Brief history of Earth Hour:

2007, Sydney, Australia:
2.2 million homes and businesses turned their lights off for one hour to make their stand against climate change.

2008:
More than 50 million people across 35 countries participated. Global landmarks such as the Sydney Harbour Bridge, The CN Tower in Toronto, The Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, and Rome’s Colosseum; all stood in darkness.

March 2009:
Over 4000 cities in 88 countries officially switched off to pledge their support for the planet.


This year's Earth Hour is taking place on Saturday 27 March at 8.30PM. Totally won over and love the idea of saving the world? Sign up here.

Constellations in My Palm

Feb 12, 2010


Permalink 

Constellations in My PalmSo I know this post is going to frustrate a lot of people, but I can't help it and I don't care anyway. I'm going to come clean and tell you this: I LOVE YAOI MANGAS!

Did I hear Jeslyn cheer? Yay!

So the manga that got my love for yaoi back is Tenohira no Seiza or Constellations in My Palm. It's so beautiful it makes me cry! I don't care what other people thinks of gays OK, I absolutely APPROVE (with two big, fat, thumbs ups).

However, I do think lesbians are a bit...wrong. Maybe if the tables were turned, and I was born a guy instead, I will have love yuri manga to bits.

Not wanting to spoil the manga for you by being over starry-eyed, I present you with the (official) description from MangaFox:


Enji is moving on to college and it turns out he’ll be living with his cousin Mizuho, who he hasn’t seen in seven years. Enji, once the younger cousin that Mizuho thought of as a cute little brother, is now a tall, handsome man practically oozing with cool. And yet, despite how close they used to be, Enji’s giving him the cold shoulder. Has Enji simply grown out of being Mizuho’s surrogate younger brother, or is he trying to hide his true feelings?


Feel a sudden urge to read it now? =D

BBC and 'drastic action'

Feb 06, 2010


Permalink 

I don't usually post up visits to whatever bla-bla-bla place, but this is special case to my special, special friends back in Brunei! Me miss you all!

So it was an impromptu decision, this visit to BBC. I just want to know how different BBC and RTB is, and what the hell, I already know the answer when I decided to go!

Left school in a coach at 10AM, arrived in front of BBC at 12PM, an hour too early in fact. Since the BBC building is just across from Westfield (humongous shopping centre, 20× bigger than The Mall), we pop over for a bit of window shopping. The 'we' in question is me and my dearest (distant) cousin Annabelle Leong.



So you can see the BBC logo behind her and it's prove I'm not lying. As we are distant cousins there are no resemblance at all, but I wish we do (her height her height her height!)

The BBC tour was very interesting, and I'm lazy to post up pictures as usual so stop hoping for them. As if I'm not using up a huge chunk of your bandwidth already!

Did you know that J.Lo was (and probably still is) a snob? Well, she was according to the guy at BBC anyway. The BBC building is shaped like a question mark (?) and they have this what-used-to-be-a-fountain-until-we-turned-off-the-water-because-the-sound-of-water-make-everyone-wants-to-go-to-the-bathroom thingy in the middle.

It was an experience I rate ten out of ten, compared to the visit to RTB (three out of ten, EPIC FAIL! The only good thing coming out of visiting RTB was full tummy.)

I'm off!
