shitai!!!

I really want the 1st t-shirt shown here!!

http://d-a-i.com/goods/a-nation10.html

3,000 yen equals ~48 dollars.. Not bad, isn't it?! For a merchandise of something you really like.

And maybe I'm not going to use it often... instead I'll just keep it or put it inside a frame and place it on the wall! haha!~

But as the instructions are all in Japanese... So... I don't understand how to order.. And I'm not sure on how to pay as well.
I can ask my friend in Japan to order it for me.. But how can I take the t-shirt and pay her?

I want I want I want!!

2010: Break up

On March 13, 2010, the band was scheduled to give a live concert with Halca, titled Night Light Parade Vol. 1.1: One of the new beginning at Shibuya Club Quattro in Tokyo.^{[citation needed]}

It was announced on May 19 that on August 11 High and Mighty Color will release a new single, "Re:ache", which will be the band's final single. Speaking of the reason for the break up, band members cited "musical differences" and "future opportunities". The last single "Re:ache" will contain three new songs, with four songs in total, the fourth being a live rendition of "Red". The single will be a CD+DVD bundle that will come with the PVs for "Re:ache" and "Good Bye", as well as live recordings of their American concert from Sakura-Con 2010.^[21][22]

As I thought, they won't survive without MAAKII there..

A bit pity for HALCA, though, she has not gotten much experiences there..

Blame the 50-year-old man who became MAAKII's husband
sigh.

Hearing this news, I didn't cry as last time when I heard Do As Infinity disbanded; I didn't feel anything for real. I'm only sad because their names will just disappear in the future. Maybe MAAKII's departure was bitter enough for me to endure, so, this news was just a "follow-up" of what has happenned.

Wish all of them a happy future. For MAAKII and used-to-be Anti Nobunaga.

akhirnya cerai juga

Sawajiri Erika dating a French millionaire, Hollywood debut due this fall?

Now it's official that Sawajiri Erika is going to divorce Takashiro, but there is yet another unconfirmed rumor that might explain the whole situation.

Several tabloids including "Yukan Fuji" and "Tokyo Sports" are reporting that Sawajiri is dating the son of a French millionaire. It was the famous reporter Nashimoto Masaru that discovered and published the story about her new wealthy support.

"It's rumored that there is a certain millionaire acting as Sawajiri Erika's contact person for her activities in Spain. That person is currently pushing forward her debut in Hollywood and sent her recent beauty clinic commercial to several officials in the industry. He is also advertising her huge popularity in Japan in order to get her a role," he revealed.

Other insiders also claim that it's actually the son of French millionaire who is supporting her and that he is more than just a business partner. They also say that he invested a lot of money into her office in Spain.

The Tokyo Sports also clearly states that she is indeed in a relationship with this wealthy young man. "He invested in her new agency and also works as the president, of course. It's also said that Takashiro actually knows this person, but it seems like he only thought of him as a business partner of his wife." This tabloid reports that the beauty clinic commercial will work as PR for her Hollywood debut as well. "It will happen sooner than expected. A Hollywood movie with Sawajiri Erika will probably already open this fall."

This doesn't mean that she will continue to ignore the Japanese market. There are still the news about her upcoming contract with the Japanese major label Avex that will include at least one new single and a new album within this year. Tokyo Sports actually claims that they are already about to start with the recordings.

Takashiro is said to have used 2-3 million USD to back her up with her career restart, but with the recent news his support might have only been a small stepping stone in her upcoming career. There are also rumors about him having debts now. Though I don't want to claim that money was one of the reasons for the divorce.

One thing is for sure, it will never become boring again now that Sawajiri is back in the headlines.

1. Wow, as I thought.. Erika. Dasar bandel.
2. Cukup bingung dengan motivasi dia nikah. Udah bikin pre-marital agreement sepanjang dan se-materialistis itu, eh dia nya malah maen2x dan maen cerai2x in aja.
   Sempet denger sih dulu waktu di awal2x pernikahannya, dia bilang ke temennya klo pernikahan ini adalah sebuah kesalahan. Tapi ya tetep ajaaaa.... $___$
3. Dia mau masuk AVEX! Nggak relaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!
   AVEX itu labelnya Do As Infinity!! Ban-chan dan Ryo (plus Otsuka Ai, ELT) yg sangat berbakat itu kenapa harus satu label sama dia dan Ayumi Hamasaki sih, hiks hiks.
   Berarti ntar tiap kali A-Nation kita bakal ngeliat Erika yang nyanyi aja sulit? Huhuhuhu. Meskipun lagunya dia dance-dance gitu sih. Mgkn itu yg bikin AVEX tertarik kali ya (liat contohnya Ayumi, TxT titipannya oom Joni Kitagawa, Girl Next Door (cmiiw).. tetapi tentunya tidak begitu dengan Do As Infinity, mereka gak ada dance-dancenya ^____^)
   Trus karena itu Sawajiri Erika, pasti di youtube ada di featured video bagian atas. Sangat merusaaakkkkk. Okelah dulu sih Sawajiri Erika berbakat (1 Litre of Tears menangiskan berapa banyak orang tuh?) tapi melihat kelakuan dan realitasnya kayak gini, bikin sangat amat malas. Pindah SME aja DAI, biar selabel sama HAIKARA (dan sini kembalikan MAAKI =P) trus bisa bikin lagu-lagu keren kayak dulu lagi. hihi.
   
4. Akhirnya saya mengerti kenapa Erika dulu tidak jadian sama Ryo-kun ^^"

Moga-moga Erika cepet tobat deh. Kembalilah ke jalan yang benar nak..

Dan moga-moga DAI tidak terkontaminasi oleh dia kalo Erika beneran ke Avex. Hidup Ban-chan dan Ryo the kuusoo ryodan, jgn kepengaruh ama AVEX!

membajak

parah, parah. dasar manusia.

Bintang Porno Bangkitkan Motivasi Nge-hack

Bintang film porno asal Jepang, Aoi Sola menjadi salah satu alasan banyaknya pria China yang mencoba membobol sistem keamanan internet China.

BEIJING - Bintang film porno asal Jepang, Aoi Sola yang juga dikenal dengan nama Sora Aoi menjadi salah satu alasan banyaknya pria China yang mencoba membobol sistem keamanan internet China. Seperti diketahui, pemerintah China selain memblokir situs-situs politik dan subversif juga memblokir sejumlah situs jejaring sosial seperti Twitter.

Demi mengejar menjadi follower Sola, sejumlah pengguna internet di China, terutama kaum pria diketahui berupaya membobol sistem. Tentu saja alasannya, agar bisa mengikuti Sola di Twitter.

Canoe, Jumat (23/4/2010) melansir Aoi Sola, bintang film porno asal Jepang meluncurkan akun Twitternya pada bulan Maret lalu. setidaknya kini Sola diikuti oleh 58 ribu followers.

"Membobol Firewall di China sangat sulit, tapi tetap saja masih bisa ditembus," kata David Wolf, pakar teknologi AOL.com.

Cara-cara untuk menembus Firewall di China sudah tersebar melalui mail list. Untuk mendapatkan akses ke Twitter pengguna internet di China umumnya mengunduh program yang juga terhubung dengan Twitter, namun tak diblok, laiknya Google Chat.

Namun diakui wolf, cara-cara membobol firewall, sulit untuk dilakukan oleh pengguna internet biasa yang tidak memiliki pengetahuan teknis internet.

Juu-kyu-sai no tanjoubi

I read 2 good news on my birthday!

Do As Infinity announced that a new album, ETERNAL FLAME will be released on 30 September 2009. It will contain ~12 tracks produced by Seji Kameda (this is not a new name, I suppose. Sometimes I read his name on some of DAI's works).
This album is continuing the shiritori game (a game when you should make a new word/phrase beginning with the alphabet that ends the previous word/phrase) of DAI's collection of albums, i.e. :

Break of Dawn - New World - Deep Forest - True Song - Gates of Heaven - Need Your Love - Eternal Flame

Can you see it? *lol* Hence their next album, after this one, hopefully will start with an "E".

Besides, DAI's album titles always have the same or similar title with the song inside, regardless it is an A-sided single (as in Deep Forest and True Song), B-sided (as in New World) or even not a hit at all (as in Need Your Love), i.e. :

Break of Dawn : Break of Dawn

New World : New World (album remix)

Deep Forest : Fukai Mori

True Song : Shinjitsu no Uta

Gates of Heaven : Gates of Heaven

Need Your Love : Need Your Love

so I'm curious about which song in EF will symbolize the name..

The release of this album will also remark the 10th anniversary of Do As Infinity since their first debut on 29 September 1999.

And I hope that there will be DAI's original-composed songs. I want to see them singing their own-composed songs like when Dai Nagao was still there.. The fun, catchy songs.. *cross fingers*

High and Mighty Color together with their new female vocalist, HALCA, had released their new single "XYZ".
They will also release a new album called Swamp Man on 2 September 2009.
I have listened to the new single and notice that HALCA's voice is not so different with the previous vocalist MAAKII (but MAAKII's was cuter while HALCA's is.... bolder? yeah whatever) and hence, their music is not so different with the old ones. I'm happy for it. I just don't want the band to be a full-rock and go back to the Anti-Nobunaga era. I remembered back then when a producer said "Anti-Nobunaga and MAAKII as separate artists wouldn't make it, but if they were together (which is now called HAIKARA aka HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR) they will definitely make it.." AND IT DID!
I still miss MAAKII, though. Well don't think that I'm insane or "deviate", I only miss her voice and music. Anyway she's pregnant with that ojiisan DCT's member's child and I don't know whether I should be happy for her or be sad as she left HAIKARA alr *snif* I'm so mean.

It will be a big bunch (and big MEGABYTES) of downloads on September, is it? *grab my agenda and note them down*
*jump*jump*jump*
I don't have any address for shipping yet, so *sadly* I can't pre-order DAI's EF. The first press DVD will contain PV and DOCUMENTARY! *sigh*

Really hope that by September I get my own room already...
And on the beginning of August, I already get the courses I want.

But for these days.. I'm satisfied enough with those two news as my presents! YAY!

100%

Aku ingin share tentang ini.. Mungkin ini tentang Jepang lagi, setelah sebelumnya banyak curhat tentang dunia entertainment Jepang ;p
Tapi basically emang kagum sama orang Jepang...

Apalagi sama culture mereka yang selalu put 100% effort di dalam kerjaan mereka. Mungkin buat kita (esp orang Indo ;p) kerja sampe pagi + siap sedia 24/7 tuh agak males ya.. Berbeda lah. Kalo becandaannya anak2x CBC, kita sering bilang klo nanti research ama prof Jepang (ada 3 prof Jepang di CBC ^^ and if I'm not mistaken 3-3nya prof organic *hrsnya senior lbh tau ini bnr apa ga*) sblom dia pulang, kita jangan pulang dulu.. Bukan masalah bakal nilai jelek atau gmn, tapi ga enak hati aja, prof blm kelar eh kita nya kok enak2x, pulang, makan2x, jalan2x, klo punya pacar ya pacaran.... ;p Padahal emang kita siapa, kita juga butuh ilmu kok, dan blm ada apa2x nya dibanding si prof kan..

Mereka tidak kiasu, tapi berdedikasi. Mereka mau berbagi, ga nyimpen untuk diri sendiri.
Ngeliat Hinohara-sensei dengan segitu dedikasinya terhadap dunia medis dan pendidikan...

Mereka selalu bikin inovasi, dan think out of the box. Tau kan gmn inovasi orang2x Jepang? Mulai dari produk elektroniknya yg katanya ga gampang rusak (ini pernah dibahas pas lecture accounting tentang "increase in consumer satisfactory --> repeat orders --> increase in profit" dan dibandingkan (oleh anak2x Indo) dengan ..... negara ...... *lengkapi sendiri*) sampe barangnya yg aneh2x kayak yg dijual di Daiso tuh (klo yg tinggal di Singapore tau lah toko ini). Terinspirasi dari Doraemon kali ya? hehehe.

Orang Jepang bnr2x role model yg bagus ^^

dan....
..... KANGEN NONTON DORAMA uyyy.. hihihihi ;p
di imel ada fotonya, rumah sakitnya tipikal RS jepang gituu.. huhuhuhu.. jadi inget Iryu dan 1 Litre of Tears.. kangen~


-----------------------------
A 97 year old Doctor has this to say...

At the age of 97 years and 4 months, Shigeaki Hinohara is one of the world's longest-serving physicians and educators. Hinohara's magic touch is legendary: Since 1941 he has been healing patients at St. Luke's International Hospital in Tokyo and teaching at St. Luke's College of Nursing. After World War II, he envisioned a world-class hospital and college springing from the ruins of Tokyo; thanks to his pioneering spirit and business savvy, the doctor turned these institutions into the nation's top medical facility and nursing school. Today he serves as chairman of the board of trustees at both organizations. Always willing to try new things, he has published around 150 books since his 75th birthday, including one "Living Long, Living Good" that has sold more than 1.2 million copies. As the founder of the New Elderly Movement, Hinohara encourages others to live a long and happy life, a quest in which no role model is better than the doctor himself.


Doctor Shigeaki Hinohara JUDIT KAWAGUCHIPHOTO

Energy comes from feeling good, not from eating well or sleeping a lot. We all remember how as children, when we were having fun, we often forgot to eat or sleep. I believe that we can keep that attitude as adults, too. It's best not to tire the body with too many rules such as lunchtime and bedtime.

All people who live long regardless of nationality, race or gender share one thing in common:None are overweight... For breakfast I drink coffee, a glass of milk and some orange juice with a tablespoon of olive oil in it. Olive oil is great for the arteries and keeps my skin healthy. Lunch is milk and a few cookies, or nothing when I am too busy to eat. I never get hungry because I focus on my work.. Dinner is veggies, a bit of fish and rice, and, twice a week, 100 grams of lean meat..

Always plan ahead. My schedule book is already full until 2014, with lectures and my usual hospital work. In 2016 I'll have some fun, though: I plan to attend the Tokyo Olympics!
There is no need to ever retire, but if one must, it should be a lot later than 65. The current retirement age was set at 65 half a century ago, when the average life-expectancy in Japan was 68 years and only 125 Japanese were over 100 years old. Today, Japanese women live to be around 86 and men 80, and we have 36,000 centenarians in our country. In 20 years we will have about 50,000 people over the age of 100...

Share what you know. I give 150 lectures a year, some for 100 elementary-school children, others for 4,500 business people. I usually speak for 60 to 90 minutes, standing, to stay strong.
When a doctor recommends you take a test or have some surgery, ask whether the doctor would suggest that his or her spouse or children go through such a procedure. Contrary to popular belief, doctors can't cure everyone. So why cause unnecessary pain with surgery I think music and animal therapy can help more than most doctors imagine.

To stay healthy, always take the stairs and carry your own stuff. I take two stairs at a time, to get my muscles moving.

My inspiration is Robert Browning's poem "Abt Vogler." My father used to read it to me. It encourages us to make big art, not small scribbles. It says to try to draw a circle so huge that there is no way we can finish it while we are alive. All we see is an arch; the rest is beyond our vision but it is there in the distance.

Pain is mysterious, and having fun is the best way to forget it. If a child has a toothache, and you start playing a game together, he or she immediately forgets the pain. Hospitals must cater to the basic need of patients: We all want to have fun. At St. Luke's we have music and animal therapies, and art classes.

Don't be crazy about amassing material things. Remember: You don't know when your number is up, and you can't take it with you to the next place.

Hospitals must be designed and prepared for major disasters, and they must accept every patient who appears at their doors. We designed St.... Luke's so we can operate anywhere: in the basement, in the corridors, in the chapel. Most people thought I was crazy to prepare for a catastrophe, but on March 20, 1995, I was unfortunately proven right when members of the Aum Shinrikyu religious cult launched a terrorist attack in the Tokyo subway. We accepted 740 victims and in two hours figured out that it was sarin gas that had hit them. Sadly we lost one person, but we saved 739 lives.

Science alone can't cure or help people. Science lumps us all together, but illness is individual. Each person is unique, and diseases are connected to their hearts. To know the illness and help people, we need liberal and visual arts, not just medical ones.

Life is filled with incidents. On March 31, 1970, when I was 59 years old, I boarded the Yodogo, a flight from Tokyo to Fukuoka. It was a beautiful sunny morning, and as Mount Fuji came into sight, the plane was hijacked by the Japanese Communist League-Red Army Faction. I spent the next four days handcuffed to my seat in 40-degree heat. As a doctor, I looked at it all as an experiment and was amazed at how the body slowed down in a crisis.

Find a role model and aim to achieve even more than they could ever do. My father went to the United States in 1900 to study at DukeUniversity in North Carolina. He was a pioneer and one of my heroes. Later I found a few more life guides, and when I am stuck, I ask myself how they would deal with the problem.

It's wonderful to live long. Until one is 60 years old, it is easy to work for one's family and to achieve one's goals. But in our later years, we should strive to contribute to society. Since the age of 65, I have worked as a volunteer. I still put in 18 hours seven days a week and love every minute of it.

gundah

baru saja gw denger sebuah frase, atau kalimat, or whatever (nilai bahasa indonesia saya jelek) yang berbunyi :
"express your thoughts before it's too late"

maka gw akan mem-post beberapa kegundahan hati gw dari siang ini...

ERIKA SAWAJIRI TERNYATA TELAH MENIKAH DENGAN SI OOM OOM MESUM ITU SATU SETENGAH BULAN YANG LALU.
siggghhhh *sebelsebelsebelsebelsebel*
well.. should I give up the calling "erika-neechan" on her? :P I doubt she'll be back to the entertainment world since the tragedies which has declined her popularity ever since.
dan statement yg cukup mengagetkan adalah.. (diambil dari forum lautanindonesia),

dari japantoday..

She elaborated on how Takashiro proposed to her, saying it was in August last year when they were viewing a total solar eclipse in the mountains of the Altai Republic in Russia. She said: “I went to Turkey to see the solar eclipse with him and a couple of other friends, when I was 19 and we weren’t a couple yet. That was our first vacation together, so being proposed to under an eclipse was very special for me. We’re going to see another one in July from Amami Island in Kagoshima.” Asked about her attraction to Takashiro, she said: “He’s very much an adult and I’m a bit of a brat, but I don’t feel the age difference. He’s very open-minded and I feel comfortable when I’m with him.”

Erika 19 tahun berarti tahun 2005 atau 2006. Dan itu adalah masa dimana 1 Litre of Tears dan Taiyou no Uta lagi booming2x nya. Di dua dorama itu dia digosipin sama Nikishido Ryo dan deket sama Yamada Takayuki. Beritanya dia sama si oom baru ada by end of 2007.
so? any clarification on that part? atau dia udah di-book (dilamar, I mean) sama si oom then barulah gosip mereka terangkat oleh media?

OJISAN2x GANTENG L`ARC~EN~CIEL BERTAMBAH BANYAK KERUTANNYA setelah gw lama ngga' liat mreka (scara abis single nexus 4/shine mreka hiatus sampe 2011 dan lumayan sepi thread nya). Oom tet-chan yang jadi idola temen2x gw sekarang banyak sekali kerutannya. Maklum dia udah 40-an. Gw blom liat oom Hyde sih.. Kalo dia udah parah gitu mungkin gw shock. Gw kan suka ama dia dibanding tetsu... =3

HIGH AND MIGHTY COLOR TELAH MENEMUKAN PENGGANTI MAKI. Identitasnya masih blom jelas, namanya sih Haica (kalo ga salah) tapi jenis kelaminnya ngga jelas. Masih diperdebatkan apakah dia adalah cewe2x cakep manis seperti Maki yang nantinya bisa menyeimbangkan metalnya cowok2x HAIKARA jadi ga terlalu metal dan lebih acceptable ke kuping smua orang ataukah dia adalah cowok metal yg bikin HAIKARA ganti aliran ke heavy metal? atau... dia adalah laki2x lembut nan kemayu?
prediksi baru hari ini yg dibuat adalah --> dia adalah cowok ganteng berhati lembut yang bisa menyeimbangkan musik HAIKARA.. huehehehe ^^
menunggu Mei saat mereka live tour bersama si vokalis baru untuk memastikan identitasnya!
dan...
I MISS MAKI SOOO BAD :(

OB SHIFT DUA. kapankah tayang? gw udah kangen ama susi dan mas say. ama gusti. ama saschya yg suka gw tiru2x in. ama mail, ipul dan odah. ama pak hendra dan pak taka the jomblo united. ama kevin, tari, bani, nanda dan airin. siapa lagi ya? let me know kalo ada yg kurang.
semoga nanti waktu gw balik indo, gw bisa menikmati indahnya sore bersama mereka lagi. setelah waktu pulang desember kemarin gw totally ga bisa nonton mereka karena mereka lagi break :(

CHICKEN RICE DI KANTIN NTU yang tidak baik untuk pemakai behel seperti saya adalah... chicken rice di NIE dan chicken ricenya hongkong D****** di kantin dua. dua semester ini bracket saya copot gara2x makan dua chicken rice itu T__T

SLACKING YANG TERAMAT-SANGATLAH PARAH selama beberapa hari ini sejak recess. Recess = GTD 11. Lalu mati2x an belajar matematika GJ (sampe ga ikut meeting maincomm performance T__T dimarahin bapak maincomm saya deh huhuhu) dan gak bisa, totally karena slacking mat (tapi belajar accounting sih dan akhirnya lumayan lah). Baru latian untuk presentasi 45 menit sebelum mulai. Gila sama soal biochem. Semalam sebelum test Jerman malah browsing wallpaper untuk slide trus akhirnya kebablasan nyari gambar2x lucu. Dan kemarin dan hari ini.. tidur seharian, trus Indodinner, gereja, tidur lagi, baru bikin tutorial.. HEBAT.

KAMAR..
yeah. it is really a worry :(
NTU akan merenovasi hall atas (8-15) untuk YOG (Youth Olympic Games) karena Singapore jadi tuan rumah dan Youth Olympic Village (perumahan untuk para atlet) akan memakai Halls of Residence di NTU.
Dan NTU memutuskan untuk meng-kick out para resident untuk keluar dari kamarnya di hari terakhir exam.. 30 April 2009.
Gimana nasib barang2x kami yang ngga sedikit dan fasilitas hall storage yg mini itu? Dan gimana nasib kami International Student tahun depan dengan cut-off points HAS yang menjadi tinggi sejak tahun lalu (dan berakhir dgn cukup banyak vacant rooms krn biasanya Singaporean Freshmen menolak tinggal di hall atau withdraw setelah beberapa lama)? pleaseeeee... kami ingin dapat kamar lalu GTD dan belajar dengan tenaaaanggg!!! T__T

BADMINTON INDONESIA GAK MENGHASILKAN PRESTASI YANG SIGNIFIKAN SEJAK AWAL 2009....
.... dan Maria Kristin Yulianti, Women's Single Athlete nomer 1 di Indonesia saat ini yang katanya lagi cedera, dikabarkan sedang ikut main film tentang Liem Swie King.
Jadi kapan kalian bisa bikin prestasi lagi?

FYP ATAU IA?
meskipun masih lama.. tapi saya terus2x saja mikirin hal ini. Mau ikutan research di kampus dalam Final Year Project atau mau kerja di luar dlm Industrial Attachment? Beberapa concern gw adalah, kalo mau FYP at least nilaiku harus bagus, memenuhi 1st class lah. Kalo diliat2x sekarang sih rasanya susah, tapi tahun depan harus bisa dikejar (aim for next year setelah menseriusi scrabble dan ikut IG tahun depan sbg the real scrabbler bkn cuma supporter dan trainee hahaha ^^) trus klo IA, berarti bakal sering di luar NTU, dan it means gw harus menghabiskan seluruh persyaratan AU (academic unit, klo di Indo SKS) kalo nggak mau delaying graduation (= menambah tahun = menambah jumlah uang pdhl gak tau loan dan TG lanjut atau nggak).. pdhl IA kan cukup guna untuk pengalaman.. sigghhhhhhhh... binguungg..

yg penting sekarang : STOP SLACKING, DO THE BEST, dan menunggu rilisnya karya baru dari Do As Infinity ^^
dan juga ingin memperbaiki kualitas foto dan menambah ilmu adobe saya..

Otsuka no RABURABU~~~

Minggu depan (tepatnya 17 Desember 2008) Otsuka Ai alias Ai-chin mau ngeluarin album barunya, LOVE LETTER..

gyaa~~ senaanggg.. ^o^
udah denger preview beberapa lagunya sih.. lagian kan kbanyakan lagunya dari single2x yang udah pernah saya dengerin.. tapi tetep aja mau nunggu album barunya dan denger lagu2x barunya..

dan gw baru aja browsing2x youtube untuk liat2x beberapa PV lama.. buat nostalgia (sambil mengingat betapa lemotnya dulu internet indo) dan tentu *ehm* didonlod.. gyahaha~ mumpung provider internet rumah saya lagi ada promo gratisan, dan kmaren trakhir sblom saya pulang koneksi internet di Singapore itu rekor lemot parah... (gw pernah donlod lagu dengan kecepatan 700 bytes/sec ^^;; dan akhirnya gw donlod 2 album sekaligus trus gw tinggal jalan2x ke Jurong East ama tmen2x gw) Jadilah sekarang ini gw lagi berbahagia donlod video2x nya Ai-chin dengan kecepataaaannnn.... 80 KB/sec! gyahahaha~~

Untungnya alat donlod yang gw pake itu bisa donlod video youtube langsung jadi format mp4.. Kan kalo youtube itu biasanya jadi file FLV dulu..
Laluuuu... setelah donlod, baru nyadar klo si WMP gw gak mau tayangin video mp4..

Haduhhhh
Blom nge setting... MALEEESSSSS....
Gyaaaahhhh

Oh iya di program Qwck Tym *well gw takut kena copyright jadi bbrp nama produk disini akan disamarkan* kayaknya bisa langsung tayangin mp4..
tapi ga punya...

Lalu saya teringat dulu lecturer saya (Dr **MOD) pernah bilang,
"you can use the ITns for downloading some lecture recordings from some universities.. Yes it is so useful.. If you don't have you can just simply download it from the website.. It is not only for M@C... You can also use it on that creepy operation system... Ah, what is it called? Oh yes.. WNDWS.."
Hahahaha
Hati2x Bill Gates marah tuh, 'Mod.. wakakakakakakkk

Trus kata bapak saya,
"lho gak punya Qwck Tym? donlod aja.. gratis kok gratis.. papah aja udah donlod yang paling baru.." (iya, klo ga gratis sih bapak saya juga ga bakalan mo donlod)

Lalu dengan semangat nonton PVnya Ai-chin dan PV2x lain di dalam keping DVD yang tersimpan manis di tempat DVD saya di kamar saya di NTU sana (baca: blom dibuka sama sekali ^_^), dan (dengan tidak sadar diri kalo dirinya menderita kekurangan kapasitas otak dibandingkan mahasiswa NTU pada umumnya) tidak untuk menonton lecture recording dari universitas lain itu, akhirnya saya MENDOWNLOAD SOFTWARENYA!!!

oh, iya, untuk yang gak ngerti PV itu apa.. PV itu... setahu saya sih singkatan dari Promotional Videos.. Kalo di Jepang kita nyebutnya gitu (apa? di Jepang? emang kamu di Jepang chel?) untuk video2x nya artis2x Jepang sono..


Di Youtube tadi saya nemu satu PV dia yang blom pernah saya tonton...
Waktu nonton ini, pertamanya saya sempet gossip mode on... Karena ada satu cowok yang bikin video bareng dia, daaaannnn.... *tuing, tuing, tuiingg*
Untuk tahu selanjutnya, tonton sendiri.. Dan simpulkan sendiri siapa cowok itu... Apakah ini kisah nyata? Atau hanya fiksi yang bisa mengaktifkan syaraf2x fantasi liar kita?
Hehehehehehehe
Gak akan nyesel liat PVnya.. Bener2x kayak nonton mini dorama..
Jalan cerita di PVnya miriiiisssss banget.. Kasian banget deh, walaupun endingnya sempet bikin gw mikir "ini kok kayak drama Korea yah?" (berhubung bbrp hari ini nonton drama Korea melulu) Ai-chin disitu ekspresinya pas banget sambil nyanyiin lagunya dia dengan akting yang seperti ituuu.. Dan mnurut gw suara Ai-chin tuh ambigu banget.. Jadi, satu lagu, di PVnya dibikin ceria bisa sedih juga bisa...

Rasanya PV ini tinggal dijadiin film aja. Keren deh ^^

Ngiri chel?
Hmmm....
Ngiri ama suaranya Ai-chin iyaaaaaaa!!! Soalnya suara gw kan... JELEK.....
Kalo istilahnya di IC RCTI klo kak Okky lagi cela2x an ama Oom Dave tuh... "Ngomong aja fals, apalagi nyanyi?!"

Jadi pingin post liriknya.. (moga2x ngga' apa2x dipost disini.. I'll put the credits on the end of this posting)

Here it is the song :)

English Translation :

I love you

It seems a waste
To reminisce about you
Because i want to keep you mine and mine alone.
I don't really wanna remember youI mean, it's embarassing
Grinning to myself.
Eventhough you were late coming home
Tired from a late night
You picked me up in your arms
Even in my dreams, i knew it.

I miss you so
I couldn't feel anymore helpless
I miss you so
I'll always love you.

Did you know,
What i wished for
That night
When we went for a drive?
Did you know,
That i saw our happiness
In the sky we looked up at together?
You took this one 'me' laying there
Made her beautiful and were always there for me.

I miss you so
I don't wanna be any further away from you
I miss you so
I'll always love you.
I miss you so
I couldn't feel anymore helpless
I miss you so
I'll always love you.
I will always, always and forever
I will always love you.

la la la.

you make me feel so nice~ hontou ni?

Hasilnya hari ini (Rabu), dari Japan Foundation..

Gw pergi ke JF ama dua orang temen SMA gw, Dwi ama Noii. Dua2x nya sih punya niat awal mau nyari bahan karya tulis, tapi kenyataannya....
Hanya Dwi yang bertahan.
Sedangkan noii?
Huhahahahaha. Melihat ada setumpukan majalah Jepang, ada yg lebih menarik dari itu? Apalagi... ada saya datangggg! Huahaha. Gak tau ya apa pikiran Noii tentang gw yang lagi balik indo.. Seneng karena temen lamanya dateng, atau sebel karena dia ga jadi bikin karya tulis padahal deadline udah seminggu lagi..

Seorang noii yang kurang beriman sampai2x ketika ada malaikat penggoda lucu nan cantik berbehel dan suka warna ungu macem saya ini *ditimpuk* dateng, dia akan berbelok ke arah yang tidak benar, dari awalnya pengen nyari bahan karya tulis dia menjadi ke arah sofa tak bersandaran dengan setumpuk majalah ditangannya... dan di tangan saya juga. Gyahaha~

Majalah demi majalah kita buka dengan antusiasme dan euforia dan semangat ke-Jepang-an dari zaman SMA dimana sekumpulan manusia minoritas pencinta Jepang ngumpul jadi satu dan treak2xan pake bahasa Jepang sambil mengancam film2x bajakan Jepang yang ga ngaku. Hohohoh.
Halaman satu.. dua.. tiga... sepuluh... dua puluh.. lima puluh...
Mulai dari ORENJI RENJI (Orange Range), Chemistry, Alice Nine, Acid Black Cherry, hyde, sampe oom Tetsuya Oogawa alias tetsu favoritnya Noii.. mukyaaaaa~~~ dah lama ga liat jepang2x an, adiksi pun kambuh ^^
Kabar rilis album dan single baru sampe profil artis..
Iklan.... Formulir Berlangganan...
Dan ga ngerti tulisannya apa ^^;; (jadi kesimpulannya daritadi cuma ngeliatin foto2x nya doang hahaha)

Dan akhirnya nemu salah satu majalah Jepang berbahasa Indonesia. Di situ gw liat satu berita yang udah lamaaaaa banget.. Udah hampir lupa juga.. Tapi itu berita cukup mengguncang di kala exam period gw (lumayan buat menambah daftar panjang kambing hitam gw terhadap kegagalan exam gw semester ini)

MAAKI, vokalis Haikara (HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR), menikah dengan personel Dreams Come True.
Dan dia bakalan keluar dari Haikara. Dan Haikara lagi cari vokalis pengganti. Padahal selama ini yah suara MAAKI yang bikin ciri khas Haikara.

Pertamanya stuck. Keinget lagi.
Trus banyaaaakkkkk banget hal berkeliaran di otak saya, layaknya elektron yang lagi loncat2x kesana kemari kayak kelinci.

Kenapa ya, artis Jepang, cewek, muda, cantik, bermasa depan cerah, akhirnya jatuh juga ke pelukan OOM OOM??? Dan oom-oom nya rata2x tajir, udah tua, tampangnya aneeehhhhh, sampe ada yang udah duda segala..
Lihatlah neechan gw, Sawajiri Erika..
Keren banget kan dulu? Inget dorama Ichi Rittoru no Namida alias 1 Litre of Tears yang fenomenal, bikin banyak orang (bahkan cowo2x juga) nangis2x seember karena ceritanya yang sedih-sedih-menyayat gitu -atau mungkin karena ngeliat knapa Erika harus ama Ryo.. atau knapa Ryo harus sama Erika... huahahahahaha- trus Taiyou no Uta juga, itu keren banget, dia nyanyi disitu.. dan terakhirnya gw nangis2x padahal nonton 1LOT gw ga nangis hahaha.. Apa lagi ya? Shinobi Heart Under Blade.. meskipun dia ga pemeran utama disitu tapi tetep aja dia disitu aktingnya jg bagus.. Trus laen2x nya.. Hmm.. let's say... Pacchigi!, Otoshimono (Ghost Train), Sugar and Spice, Mamiya Kyoudai, Closed Note.. Trus albumnya dia yang 'mayan sukses.. Pas masih under the name Amane Kaoru (Taiyou no Uta) dan album dance-trance nya dia sendiri FREE ama *tuh kan gw aja lupa satu lagi apa... oh iya judulnya Destination Nowhere, baru inget. huahahaha. adek yang buruk... hahaha. siap ditimpuk dah gw.*
Dan sekarang? Mana Erika? Tenggelam banget.. Sekarang katanya dia lagi di Inggris, belajar bahasa Inggris dan tinggal di satu apartemen bersama pacarnya... Seorang pengusaha (ada yg bilang orang film juga) berusia 50-an tahun. Iya, oom oom. Hoeeekkkzzzz!!!
Pas premiere Closed Note dia (Erika) bikin masalah gitu dengan ngambek ga jelas (dan gossipnya itu karena dia baru berantem ama pacarnya si oom-oom ituuuu... hhhhhhhhhhhhh)

Dan sekarang... MAAKI keluar dari Haikara kenapaaaa??? Nikah sama oom oom... Padahal mereka baru 1.5 bulan ketemuuuuuuuu.....
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!
Dasar oom oom mesum nyebelin norak ga tau diriii!!! Oom oom teruuussssssssssssssssss......... PENGGANGUUUUUU!!!!! Huhuhuhuhuhuu

Kalo oom oom nya berkualitas macem hyde ama tetsu sih ngga apa2x.. Masih ganteng gitu.. Hakhakhak..
Lagian oom hyde kan udah punya Megumi (eh iya bener kan nama istrinya ini, saking lamanya ga buka forum Jepang gw juga lupa sebutan buat nih tante apaan) yang umurnya ga beda ama dia.. Lagian istrinya jg ga banyak pengaruh ke J-culture kok.. Jadi santai aja lah..
kalo soal oom tetsu.. Ini beda.. gw rada bingung sih kok dulu dia putus yah ama vokalisnya Every Little Thing (dan sekali lagi saya lupa namanya saudara saudara.. aduuhhh.. electron yang membawa muatan ingatan keJepang-an saya tereksitasi kmana nihhh.. huhuhu... kembalikaaaannnnn >_<) dan tau2x siang2x bolong saya denger kabar dia nikah sama model... gyaaaaa~~~ tu model yang main di HYD1 jadi mantan tunangannya Domyouji yang saingan ama Makino di kontes putri Jepang atau apalah itu tuh... hmmm.. rada sayang juga sih tapi yah untung yang dia sentuh tuh model, bukan Inoue Mao.. Haha.. Kalo dia nyentuhnya si Mao gw juga marah2x lah... Kasihan Jun tuh :P (gossip mode onnnn.. eniwei tapi entah knapa banyak orang yang yakin klo Jun ama Mao tu pacaran.. gw juga sih.. hahahahah .. tuh anak 2 klo maen di dorama lain ama lawan mainnya biasa aja.. giliran mreka ketemu aja.... katanya sih sorot matanya beda gituh hahahaa... lucu bangeeeettt yaaaaa kyaaaa~~)

OK, BTT ke oom oom yang tadi. Dari gossip yang gw tau dari temen forum gw, katanya kan Erika ama Ryo sempet terlibat platonic love pas jaman2x 1LOT gitu.. Eh trus brantem gara2x Ryo lama2x gerah ngeliat gaya hidup bebasnya Erika si anak blasteran.. wajar sih, soalnya dari SMP kan dia diasuh ama nyokapnya yang orang Eropa.. Bapaknya yang Jepang asli dah ngga' ada.. Jadi kebawa deh ^^;
Trus pas di acara yang ngelibatin NEWS (boybandnya Ryo) Ryo nya pernah ditanya,
"mendingan Aragaki Yui atau Sawajiri Erika?"
Ryo : *meraaahhhhh* Aragaki-san!
anak2x NEWS : *ngegodain* "oooo.................."
kata temen forum gw itu : itu pasti cuma akal2x an nya Ryo doang.. sbenernya dia marah soalnya Erika lebih milih si oom daripada dia..
wakakakakakaakakakkakakkk
SETUJU! *gaya Saschya OB*

ya itu dia... Binguuunggggg..
Selera orang tuh aneh2x..
cewek muda, cantik, bermasa depan cerah mau2x nya oom oom duda mesum tajir.. padahal ada cowok baik2x, ganteng, bermasa depan juga cerah juga ngejar dia...
di situasi lain, oom oom ganteng malah ngelepasin si cewek muda cantik yang ama banyak orang dianggep mreka tu cocok banget..
apa lagi ya? klo tipe2x yang MBA gitu sih di dunia entertainment jepang banyak banget.. Cewek2x nya Morning Musume tu contohnya.. banyak denger beritanya gw.. Trus.. Katanya dulu oom hyde ama meguchi (nah akhirnya gw inget jg sebutan istrinya hyde apa! yeee!!!!) juga gitu..
Kalo cowok muda, ganteng, bermasa depan cerah mutusin ceweknya yang cantik dan bermasa depan cerah jg.. Ada yang bagus ada yg engga.. Banyak kan orang yang seneng waktu *finally* Hamasaki Ayumi dan Nagase Tomoya putus.. (termasuk gw sih *ktawa setan*) kalo yang bikin sedih tuh.. contohnya.... Maria Kristin Yulianti dan Simon Santoso (tetep yahhhh.. walaupun gak ada hubungannya ama Jepang, koalisi Pink-Ai tetap menyebarkan virus yang ini.. jkjkjkjkk) Trus dulu kan juga ada kabarnya Van Tomiko jadian ama Tsubasa Imai.. Untuk ini sih gw no comment tapi kok rada2x males aja yah ama anak Johnny's gyahaha~ gossip apa lagi ya? gw juga ga tau banyak sih (udah ngga' update jepang2x an sejak di NTU... sedih sih tapi mo gmn lagi.. ini demi kesehatan GPA dan masa depan saya..)

Tapi, untungnya, di Japan sana ada sih yang normal... Kayak Miyazaki Aoi ama Susuke Takaoka (bner ga ya?).. Hmm... Asik deh ada artis Jepang kayak Miyazaki-san, aktingnya bagus, hidupnya lurus.. Walaupun nikah muda, tapi bukan karena MBA atau sjenisnya.. Katanya sih mreka dah pacaran sejak Miyazaki-san nya umur 17 tahun gitu.. Naahhh ini baru bagus.. Meskipun konon katanya artis tu kalo udah nikah kemampuannya berkurang, gw sih santai2x aja dnger yang ini... Dan kayaknya ngga juga deh buat mreka (apalagi Aoi.. hehe).. So, kalo gitu, kapan Jun ama Mao nyusul? hakhakhak...

Btw, sempet denger kabar katanya Erika ama si oom mau nikah akhir tahun ini... beehhhhhh.. moga2x enggak jadiiii... iihhh.. amit2x... entar nasibnya sama kayak MAAKI lagi.. katanya si MAAKI, udah mo kluar dari Haikara, trus mau jadi ibu rumah tangga pula... Huaaaaaaaa :'(
