1078: Life Is Art

When life is art.
Even separated between the wall..
Hindered...
Our Love is still magnificent...
As two hearts belong to one..
You and me..
We have always been meant together..
Forever...

Why did I even fall in love with you?

**************

Clarification:

I went at this lane yesterday.
It's in the middle of the city.
Between the alleys.
It was gorgeous.
I'm lovin' it!
I've always love graffiti.


Tried to strike a pose like YunHo~!
Not similar - but a nice try! *pat myself on the back*
Whaddya think?

1077: 감사합니다~ ♥

First of all,

Alhamdulillah.
Alhamdulillah.
Alhamdulillah.

I have not tell you this - it has been some times now. 시간 없어요~ 정말 미안해!

GOOD NEWS!

I've got my results three weeks ago. But I was waiting for the university to deem my eligibility, I did not share it with you people. I keep it to myself first. And as for last two days, the university has deemed that I am eligible for the Master of Health Promotion. Alhamdulillah :)

And as for my result- I got a Distinction for my thesis! Makes me happier. Alhamdullillah. I've informed some friends about it :) And I am now taking my chance to tell this good news through blogging to those who haven't know yet! As because - without the support from all of you - I won't be here. Seriously.

Called mom just now and she even told me that the university has sent my results back home through post. Woots! My parents saw my results without me. I hope they are proud with me as much as I am proud right now to be their only daughter. Pa, Ma - I did it! :')

As for on what my future beholds, I will think about it soon. Applying for jobs are definitely one of it! I am just hoping that good things will continue to come in my way for me to grab. Amin. On my well-being after this, insya-Allah, I will keep updating. After all, I am still a fangirl in heart. But it seems like I am foreseeing drastic changes going to take place. I just hope that I will have time for this wonderful world - met a lot of great people in this world and you know who you are! :))

Being on my own studying here in Melbourne taught me a lot. I gained a lot of experiences. I improved in my confidence. I believe myself. Even the progress is very slow, but slowly - I am trying to manage myself in a good way.

After all...


And to always remember that...

And always...




Once again, 감사합니다~! ♥




Special dedication - this song is for you all who have I met throughout the journey!
Hontto ni arigatou~!
Oh yes- definitely include the CNBLUE themselves - because if it's not for them - I would not meet those wonderful people!

1076: Adam Liaw!

Do you know who is this?
He is ADAM LIAW.
He is the newly crowned 2010 AUSTRALIA'S MASTERCHEF this year!

**!~CONGRATULATIONS ADAM~!**

Oh gosh.
Ever since I watched Masterchef (even though I didn't watch it from the beginning~! kekeke) I've been rooting for three A's - Adam, Aaron and Alvin. I was kinda disappointed with Aaron and Alvin being eliminated from the shows - oh well.. that's the rule of the game after all - you lose or you win. And my only hope was ADAM. And I've been sitting on the verge of worrisome - keep saying, 'ohmo- I'm worried about Adam. what to do?', "will Adam win?" those were the thoughts running in my mind. Because Callum is an amazing competitor.

And today's FINALE dish - of round 3 - was a dessert! The famous Peter Gilmore (owner of Quay) - the best chef of Australia - Guava Snow Egg! And as soon as Peter Gilmore opened the silver lid - and I was like, "GRAGGHH! THIS IS CALLUM'S SPECIALTY!" We all know that Callum is the King Of Dessert for Masterchef! His speed, his work - is fantastic. But apparently - when it comes to flavour - he is a little bit weak. And Adam was amazing when it comes to rich tastes and textures.

Peter Gilmore's Signature Dish - White Peach Snow Egg!

The finale dish look so simple, right? ahaha you wish! It is NOT! xD Ahahaha! Thank gooshieness Adam managed to do it! Callum did well too! It was a win win situation! hohoho even tho Adam led the first two rounds by four points.

I am talking about this and babbling about this - I'm sure you people won't even bother about it. It's okay. Ahaha! I'm just so happy! I mean - Adam. Hello - it's Adam~! I wish I could meet him when he comes to Melbourne - but sob sob.. I guess I couldn't. Adam Liaw - I hope to visit your restaurant one day! Your very own Izakaya!

And you may wonder why I love about Adam - because his deep interest in Japanese food! And his cooking style is Asian style! Dang! I love this man!

And he is richer by AUD$100,000 yo! and a cookbook publishing deal!
I am so going to get that - hmmm when it comes out. hohoho~!

Adam Liaw's Biography
(copy pasted from MasterChef Australia Official Website):

He may be a young prodigy, having completed Year 11 at just 14-years-old, enrolled in university at age 16 and a lawyer at 21, but even Adam must have wondered if he’d bitten off more than he could chew during one adventurous dinner in Japan.

“The weirdest food I’ve ever eaten was shirako, which is basically the sperm sac of a fish,” says Adam, who has lived in Tokyo for the past six years where he is a media lawyer. “It was disgusting, but when you’re sitting in a bar where everyone at your table is eating it, I guess you just have to try it too.”

Unusual foods aside, browsing Japan’s markets is a veritable feast for Adam’s eyes and his taste buds.

“The food markets are great,” he says. “I see a weird ingredient and I’ll talk to the seller about it, go research it and eventually try to cook with it.”

When growing up in Adelaide, there seemed little doubt that Adam’s world would eventually centre around cooking.

“I first remember cooking when I was eight or nine and living with my mum and stepfather,” explains Adam. “With my stepbrothers and sisters, there were eight of us kids in the house and once a month, it would be the kids’ turn to make dinner.

“We moved around a bit when I was younger, like over to Malaysia, and there would always be some kind of food that I had loved – and wanted to cook – for the whole family.”

Adam’s mum and stepfather moved to New Zealand when he was 14-years-old, but he stayed in Adelaide where he lived at his grandma’s home. He lists her as a food inspiration, but it wasn’t until he was studying science and law at the University of Adelaide that it became a passion.

“I would just taste something while I was out and then try to make it at home,” says Adam. “I just had people over for dinner all the time.”

He moved to Japan six years ago, where his love affair with food has blossomed. And after forging a successful career as a lawyer, Adam has handed down his verdict on his culinary future: he wants to open his own Japanese Izakaya, which is like a pub with a casual restaurant.

“If you can turn your hobby into your job, why not?” says Adam, who didn’t watch last year’s series of MasterChef and was told to apply by his mates. “I’ve just left my job in Japan and I know that if something was to come from being on the show, I would move back to Australia.”



Side Note:
Hmm.. Malaysia? Yes - I'm not sure which one - mom or dad - either one is of Malaysian origin. Hohoho. So anyone? *wiggle eyebrows* who knows Adam Liaw is actually your classmate at school? hohoho!

1075: Ngedate dengan Yamapi

Sketsa #1:

Tadi petang, pergi ngedate dengan Yamapi.
Makan roti kawin.
Sambil minum milo ping. 1 gelas, 2 straw.
Best. Best.
Lepas tu pergi pantai sambil tengok sunset.
Romantic betol.
Aku harap hubungan aku dengan Yamapi akan berkekalan lah..
macam abang angkat aku, Lee Min Ho dengan Ashie-unnie. hehehehe!


p/s: Rasa ku kenal ini statement.. kekeke aigoooo...

At our beach house.... ♥

Sketsa #2:

I woke up this morning and had my breakfast.
While having my breakfast in the kitchen, I heard a familiar song.
Very familiar.
That it made me ran into the living room.
And looked at the TV.
But no signs of the song.
Then I looked to my left - I saw a video being played.
And the song came frome that video.
My friend's hubby was playing the video. LOL.
A slideshows of some photos with Yamapi's song as a background.
And it is enough to make my day.
Because it made me realised - that the fangirl inside me has not died.
Happy *O*

...went back to the kitchen - and continued finishing off my fried rice with a :) on my face while the song continued playing.

1074: Noisy Heart

Lately, I feel like I'm losing something.
I feel like I'm losing my sense of music.
It kinda bothers me somehow because I cannot live without music.
Music is the key to my heart.

I am not in the mood of updating my playlists.
But I get bored with it.
I want to complain about it - but I don't know to what extent I want to complain about it.
Something is really with my sense of music.

Can you believe - I have not listen to Shinee's Lucifer?
Honestly, I was put off by the title of the song even for some undisclosed reasons.
I should listen to it now.
Hmm. So- see- ohgosh! as I expected - what a song. Look what they did to Jong Hyun's voice. grrrrr. I am very disappointed.

Just now Ashie-unnie talked about Miss A - and I am so not updated with that song even.
That's one of the clear sign that my fandom is falling.

And when Pam-unnie talked about NU ABO dance - sorry unnie, I failed. I don't know how they dance.

And it took me even a while to listen to BB's One In A Million full song. See, what I mean?

Super Junior's No Other is another song. It kinda put me off at first - but counting in the cute music video, urrr.. hmm.. should give them a little point. not much. I will talk about the MV some other times.

Se7en's Better Together - argh. the song is not that good either. well not to my likings much. It's like how I rated BB's OIAM. But it slowly grows in me. Oh- and Se7en's sexiness is simply irresistible. LOL.

There goes my on-off so-called serious thoughts about music these days.

In other words- I. HATE. AUTOTUNED STUFFS.

So now tell me - where all the good music goes?

This is one example of a good music which didn't try hard.
But still an ease to ears.
A cure to noisy heart.

1073: One In A Million

Yamapi!

My ichiban!
Despite of his oh-so-tired look, he still is spazzing HOT!!
Dang!
I'm blinded by my infatuation!
This is not love anymore. ahahaha!

And- oh gosh.
I am so glad to see BB danced like a young man!
Even though the dance parts are not just so much - but gosh. still HOT. It fires me up!

Especially at the reddish background part... *ovary explodes*


I can see BB worked really hard for this video. It's just so obvious. Especially on the dance parts. Because he did it smoothly this time.

But song-wise, I hate the music. I mean serious is that even BB's voice? Being autotuned too much. And the lyrics? Well, call me conservative or whatsoever - but hello, what wild sex? B, how can I let my grandchildren listen to this song you think? I want to pimp you to my 6 year old nieces - but seems like it - I can't do it now. I have to wait for until they are legal to pimp this song to you.

(edited:i think something wrong with my ear. i just accused BB badly. hontto ni gomennasai BB. T.T it's not wild sex. lest the lyrics said "i'm gonna trust in your words till the sun comes up" but i heard somewhere along the lines of "i'm gonna trust you with a wild sex till the sun comes up" LOL. B, sorrrrryy! my mind is just so lecherous! LOLLL! forgive me B! T.T - but I can't get my mind off from what I've listened first. I still think it's the two word - wild sex. ohmo!)

Blame your failed English pronounciation. BIG TIME. aigooo. You need to work out on that B if you want to go international. aigooo.




And part of the MV too, the girl - gosh. I'm so jealous of that girl. This will be the time around that sometimes I wish that BB is gay. Seriously. I hate that dress, girl! Too seductive! Get your hands off from him! ARGH! *firing a rage of sudden jealousy* why oh why?

And B-

to answer your question if I do have someone in your conspire?
Hmm. I don't think so.
Well, at least not at the moment.
I think.
Hahaha! XD

1072: Until Love Fades....

Ohmo- at last.
The journey has ended.
I've just finished reading the very final chapter of Welcome To The Underworld.

To those who doesn't know what I'm talking about - this is my first post regarding it:

Welcome To The Underworld

Someone please pass me a box of Kleenex tissue.
I'm running out of it - that I have to use my duvet.
I got runny nose now.
I cried buckets for real.
Gosh, I hope the family sleeping next door won't be afraid of listening to some eerily sobs during the night. It's almost midnight now.

The journey to the end was bittersweet.
So do the ending.
On how the author decided to end the story, I totally didn't expect it.
It was such a heartwrencher.
But it is all fair and I am satisfied with it.

After all, we just have to accept the fact that...

" Life isn’t about the beginning or the end;
it is about the journeys within it that makes life worth living."

To be able to finish reading such a very beautifully written fan-fic, I am very proud of myself - yes, because it was written in English. hohoho. And it's totally a different genre. Not my kind of genre. But ohgosh. ohgosh.

Kwon Tae Hyun, you really are something.
What I would trade to get your love?
.... minus the gang part. xD

Choi Yoori, you are a strong girl.
Forever Kwon Tae Hyun will always be yours.
And Tae Hyun has kept his words
To love you.
And protect you. Forever.

My wish now is for this fic to have its own PDF.
Or it to be published properly.
Because it really is worth it.

1071: The impressive Double S!

Oha oha ohayo!
It has been a long time right I haven't update the blog properly. Well, that's what I feel. I have been so busy. Sorta. Not really busy - but some things just take a lot of time. Lately, I was able to catch up with Ashie-unnie on some stuffs. And last night was one of it - as she updated me with Shimizu Shota's newest single, 'Goodbye'. I've heard of it. I saw it on tweet. But I was not aware that it is his latest single. Ahh~ hontto ni gomennasai Shota-kun!



So I actually downloaded the singles last night. Ashie-unnie gave me the link!

And love, love, love. I love his latest singles! He really is a favourite! This is what I called as a proper song. His latest single contains three tracks of Goodbye, Be With You and Again and one extra track of Goodbye instrumental. I love 'Goodbye'! But I love 'Be With You' more! This is definitely a J-music of the week! As for BB's One In A Million, I'm sorry B.. it is not in my list. T.T I don't even bother to download it. But let me consider the rest of the tracks which I've yet to listen.


Back to Shota, 'Be With You' is a full English track! Nice! Reminds me of the good old days with Boys II Men-ish! And soon, I found myself reading reviews from other Shimizu Shota's fans! Which some found it awesome! And by the way, which JOE again did he duet with here in this track? Is it that JOE? The 'I Wanna Know' JOE? Is it? Ohmo. I need to find out about that. But I am confident about it.

*few seconds later*

Yes, I found it! He is the JOE of 'I Wanna Know'. The very famous ballad singer! Ohmo. Now I'm so going to love the song more! ♥

The other track, 'Again' ft. Shun of EXILE! Oh wow! I can't help it - but just to love it. It's a mid tempo-ish song. Upbeat. With an impressive rap from Shun! Shota did well too. A good combination of the song. This guy here is really talented. All his tracks never fail me.

This is my kind of food!
I mean music-wise.
Hohoho~!
Time to update iPOD and get rid of some songs! xD

Thanks to Ashie-unnie for updating me with Shota's stuffs! I don't regret myself to introduce him to you! xDDD because you've taken care of him so well. mwamwa! x Unnie, are you covering this song? Weeheee! I know you will! Woots!

1070: Quote Of The Day

I quote P-Bloona,

" Always remember that some people we meet along the way are like seasons that will have their own time. So don't despair if you lose one but rather be glad that they were part of your life no matter how long or short they were with you."

.. yes, despite the fact that i haven't met you all, or you haven't got the chance to meet me - do keep my names in your heart because for once I used to have a place there. We just don't know what will happen in the future. And I will try my best to always keep these memories and treasure it. Because, for once, it has been there - giving me a blow to life.

1069: L for Love?

Today was a fun day.
I just arrived home.
The whole day was spent in the city.

Went to watch Karate Kid.
With Ka Lina, Ka Julie, G-Sham and Miguel.
A 3.40pm show.
Finished at 6pm.

Went for a dinner at my favourite restaurant.
Blok M.
Awesome!

Went for a night stroll in the city.
Met a street performer who plays a keyboard.
Apparently he played a Japanese song by Mirae, 'Kiroro'.

Then he played another song, which I forgot what the title was. But Ka Julie said it is from a Japanese drama too. Familiar with the melody, familiar with the tunes. Don't you just hate it when you remember a song and you can't remember where you've heard it before? Gosh!

When he's done with the piece, we approached him.

I actually requested him to play Utada Hikaru's song "First Love".
But he said he didn't know.
He asked me how the song goes.
So I actually sang the song for him..
And he figured it out.
Seems like he heard the song before.
Tested some notes.
And played it well!

Ohmyyyy!
Gosh. I'm so happy.

When he's done, he told us that it was his first time playing the song.
Ohmo.
I was so happy.
Happy the fact that he played the song.
Happy on the thoughts that I probably sang well. LOL. So he actually figured out the notes.
I think I can sing. miahahaha. ROTFLMAO! LOLLLLL. xD

But really~ Love is in the air today!
I feel like I want to bring him home tonight.
Play all the instrumentals of all the love ballad songs.
Ohmo ♥

Even though the weather is so cold outside, but listening to such wonderful pieces being played, made me all warm and fuzzy inside. if only i have someone special, don't you think it'd be great? and the performer said thank you to me just now.. for letting him play that song.. because it attracted some passersby! He earned some ka-chings while we were there.. hanging out. People maybe wondering why we were hanging around him..so stopped by and enjoyed the melodious piece..

I gave him some tips to just now :)
Thanks Mr. Street Performer for making my night today.
Indeed, I enjoyed my Melbourne night today.

xx


p/s: I had it recorded on my phone just now. But I can't transfer it now - since my lappy does not have a Bluetooth now. Will do it when I got access to a BlueTooth, okay? ;) And show it to you all! mwa!

1068: Money Bustle

Life in the city is great.

I have to admit that.
It's fun.
A lot of things to do.

And all that could only be achieved IF ONLY you have million sacks of ka-chings! hohohoho.

Life in the city is expensive.
Dang expensive.
Going to cafes, grab some munchies on the way to apartment.
Order pizzas.
If you bored, go down and go to the nearest convenience stores and buy some chocolate and ice-creams.
Oh so not healthy for your wallet and for your body too.

I'm living under pressure.
Of living a luxurious life.
I'm not used to it.
But it's a pressure.
When people you are living with having a luxurious lifestyle.

Oh well- maybe it's not my time yet.
But I do hope to live this kind of living one day.
With million of sacks of ka-chings!
LOL.

But seriously, do I really want that?
At the moment, I think I do.
I've got dreams.
My dreams are BIG.
And most of them quite COSTLY too.
Need the sacks of ka-chings!
*laugh pathetically*

So I need to work those out.
Hmm.
Let's secure a job first.
But when job comes, then life is going to be different too right?

I just want to live a life where I love what I'm doing.
I envy those people who could achieve that kind of life.
They love every bits of their life.
Never whines of any obstacles.
They are really living their life to the fullest.


I read a motivation blog.
It said to list down the '101 things you need to before you die'
So it keep you straight on your path of success.
And have goals in life.

I haven't done that.
But I should anytime soon.
Let's see.

Because it needs my heart to be calm and my mind in peace before I could list it down or else- I will list some trashes and junks. LOL. Ah-ha~ I guess it's true, ne? Looking at myself right now, lol. I will definitely come up with non-sensical lists. HA.HA.HA.

So who's with me to list down their '101 things to do before you die'?
Put your hands up please.
*peace*
Tell me..tell me.. wooheeee!

One can I tell you that I want to do before I die (if it is possible) is....

To Meet With This Man Here Face-To-Face , Shake Hands With Him, Give Him My Bestest Smile, Get Hug from Him (if it's not much to ask) and Say My Sincerest Thanks For Being Born And Exist Unknowingly In My Life ♥

And that left me with ... 101 things to list ... hohoho!

Seeya!

1067: Ohmo!

Ohmo!
I have internet now.
But it won't be a while until I will be disconnected from this.

Gosh. No internet is driving me insane.
I- I just don't know what to do. Seriously.
I can't even watch TV.
Because- the TV is being conquered too.
GARGGGHH!!

P-Bloona and D-Bloona conversation about me and having no internet were so hilarious! xD Yes, girls! You can say I'm in jail right now. And because I did good deeds yesterday- so they let me out of prison for a while. Aaaahhhhh~!

I miss my Geng Ottoke, my CNBlueskiers (Pam-unnie!) and my Bloonas so much! Never did I imagine life without them. Seriously!

Like P said, I missed a lot of things.

Yes- I did!

And just depending on twitter for some K-updates - it's not enough. I was not even there when my CNBLUE boys won the award again! I was not there when Taeyang had his comeback stage.

Let's recall what has been happening.

1. Park Yong Ha - RIP

At first, I am not familiar with that name. Then until my ipod played Park Hyo Shin's After Love - and I was my heart seems like jumping out of its place for a while - and I was like - is it the same Park Yong Ha? So I just have to go online through my old classic N73 and being charged expensively just to find the little information. And gosh- I was like ohmo... it's him! The same guy who acted in Park Hyo Shin's After Love MV as his brother along with Park Shi Yeon. Ohmo! I was shocked. Wll not just me I guess, but the whole Hallyu world was shocked by the sudden news.

To Park Yong Ha-ssi,
I may not know you as an actor because I don't watch Winter Sonata. And I failed at some dramas that you've acted recently. But I do know and acknowledge of your temporary existence in the world as my Park Hyo Shin's oppa bestest friend. You were once there for him when he was down. Thanks for being such a great friend to him, Park Yong Ha-ssi. May you rest in peace, oppa.

It was heart-wrenching to see So Ji Sub's tears while holding his pic during funeral :(



2. KAT-TUN's appearance at MCD!

So Minhyuk interviewed them. And eww! they looked so unhealthy! Look at their lips. Smoking alert! Eww! They looked so gross to me. So oily! Where did the image of Keep The Faith go? Ohmo. my KAT-TUN boys.. i am very disappointed with you guys. I know I have not been paying attention to you guys this year - well not as much as I paid attention to you guys like last year.. but to see this kind of appearance.. I am very, very, very sad.

Ueda is turning more girlish. Gosh! Junno didn't look good either and his comedic acts of iriguchi deguchi desu~ was not as funny as before. Koki, eww! Kame - ohmo. I can't believe you used to be my love before. Look! It seems like no one is taking care of these guys. Ohmy! Very disappointed. I'm so sad.

And their song too, D-motion? What the hell is that! Not appealing. In other words, I AM NOT IMPRESSED GUYS!

I MISS MY REAL FACE/KEEP THE FAITH KAT-TUN GUYS SO BAD!

3. CNBLUE won again!

Aaaaaa! Why when I'm not watching the boys won? Hohoho! I was not there again. Sob. Sob. Sorry my boys - noona is in a very deserted island at the moment. hohoho! But all of you did it! And noona is so proud of you four! Keep it coming, babes!

Jong Hyun, noona is missing you so much badly.


4. Taeyang's Deluxe Edition Album!

I so want it! And Kimchi has been trying to contact me. Thanks Kimchi! I received your message just today and so have contacted the BruTripleS person whoever she is. And so I decided to buy it. Gosh. I hope she could get it for me though. And it's going to cost me BND75-90! Ahahaha! My gosh! What did I just do man?

And I've yet to get my CNBLUE "The Way" album!

I'm going to be headless when I'm back home soon. Ohmo~ hope mummy and daddy will let me go.

5. Counting days!

4 more days until result.
Please everyone pray for me.
Please, please, please. I do hope I can go through.
I hope I can graduate.
Amin. Amin. Amin.

I want to go home that bad.
Seriously.
I'm missing my family so much already.

6. Rooting for SPAIN!

I don't watch World Cup this year.
But I'm rooting for Spain!
Let's hope for Spain to be in.
Can't believe that some of the big teams didn't go through this time - like Brazil.
Wahlao.

Spain for World Cup this year pleaseee!
I don't wanna jinx it.
But pleaaasee!

At least make me feel good for not watching it this year. Adeh~


Okeh, 6 points for today's update!
Please for my well-being.
Please for my success.
That's all I need now.

See ya'all~ next time.
You can consider me for hiatus.
But oh no~!
