someone uploaded Ganbatte Ikimasshoi! (aka Give It All) on YouTube. of course i *have* to watch it. xD thank you PBFansubs for subbing it! now here's the casts:
Suzuki Anne as Shinomura Etsuko. i don't like her!!! something about her just ticks me off, i don't know what. even in Stand Up!!... urgh. and i feel that her smile is a bit weird~ =/ and glittery eyes... aiyeee!
Nishikido Ryo (NewS, Kanjani8) as Sekino Hiroyuki. he's cho kawaii. xP main reason why i watch this. xD i loved him in Ichi Rittoru no Namida. i should watch Attention Please after i'm done with Ganbatte Ikimasshoi! XD he's goooo~d... and i read from some website that he's ultra cute in this. xDD
Uchi Hiroki (NewS, Kanjani8) as Nakata Saburo. he's cho kakkoii. xP but he's only going to be in the dorama till episode 2!!! dang, Uchi why did you have to get caught (drinking)?! everyone drinks nowadays! because of it he's replaced by Taguchi Junnosuke from KAT-TUN from episode 4 onwards. Junno's okay, but Uchi's much better!!!
Taguchi Junnosuke (KAT-TUN) as Nakata Saburo. i want Uchiiiiiii~~ sigh. well i haven't seen him act before so i can't really judge~ me = biased = NewS > KAT-TUN = uchi. --- hee. flying to Japan this midnight! the plane'll actually take off only at 11:55. but mr. tom, being the kiasu & kiasee person he is wants us to gather as early as 8. -sigh-

._. i've seen the guy who played L (Ken'ichi Matsuyama) in Death Note before! without realising it, of course. he's in the live-action movie of NANA too~ =/ no wonder he seemed familiar... didn't notice cause the hairstyle is so totally different. and i watched NANA way before Death Note. and he wasn't quite the main character. =/
^that's him in NANA. Shinichi "Shin" Okazaki played by him.^
^that's him in Death Note! no need further explanation, ne?^
anyway i can't wait for the second movieeeeeee~~~

i'm gonna get fatTER at a so much faster rate, i tell you.
--- that was at night.
went to the BBPChurch this morning. then we went to PS to shop for some of my winter stuff. ate lunch there~ CHICKEN KARE RAISU! XD then went to CentrePoint, Robinsons, John Little, OG, Giordano in i-forgot-what-order. after that we went to Mothercare to buy a b'day present for my cuz, Nike (read as nee-ke ['keai' de 'ke']. NOT the brand Nike. xP)~ she's here with her newly-wed husband who is my one of my bro's best friends~ and lucky me, both her and her husband love manga too! XD uh huh, it means more manga for me to read, hehehehehe... and they just returned me my Ouran High Host Club & Vampire Knight, lols. and they're gonna lend me more the next time they're here, in February2007. O-O"
*speaking of my manga, i realised many of mine are missing!!! T_T where's my 2 vols of Zero Count and vol 2 of Ikenai Navigation????!!!!* no wonder i felt as if my collection decreased.
anyway after more shopping we went home and then went to Marche in Suntec City for dinner~ managed to shop for more stuff before dinner haha.
in Marche kak Abe was there with my cuzs lol. and my grandmother asked for kak Doan as Dodo. the extinct bird. xD

7:43 pm
hoping for some real post? well, this might be it.
everyday's just a boring repetition.
so basically, since the holiday started, there has not been a day when i can NOT go to school (or school activities). except weekends, d'uh? if i may correct that, *weekends sundays*.
it's either bridging programme, ltc, cca or preparations for the exchange programme to japan. bridging programme, done. ltc, done. cca, see below for details. exchange programme, see below for details.
--- cca: choir. those who will be going to japan did not attend today's choir practice. but as per usual, i know the practice sucked. jasmine saw mr yiong (sense the exaggeration) storming out of shaw.t at 12. what time was choir supposed to end, again? 1. one. satu. yi dian. ichiji. so why did he leave early, again? he's pissed off again, of course.
so this could only mean two things -- hitotsu (one): he's in his Periodically Mood Swing period and could no longer stand our choir. futatsu (two): the choir was being real stubborn once again. period.
let's not forget that "there are other factors blahblahblah and these two factors are also contributing factors blahblahblah and they are inter-related with each other blahblahblah." yes, i was being sarcastic, remembering the SS source-based questions that i haven't done.
of course, the latter seems to be the main reason. and i have no other comments.
--- exchange programme. we had to go back to school all these past days for dance practices. ms lee wants more improvement. yeah.
but today, thankfully, was the last practice before we meet again in the airport. and thus it was longer than usual.
so i can finally rest. or so i thought.
dakara, today's a bit different as compared to the usual practices. the teachers were there. the parents were there. the sec 4s were there. and we were there.
there was a very long briefing from 9.30 to around 12+. then mr. chan taught us a popular traditional folk dance from japan. simple 11-steps dance. yet we had to rehearse it for 4 times when he said we were already good the very first try. =_=" then it was lunch. cup noodles + that ring-like snack + TOP chocolate + bandung~ then we practiced our dance till about... dunno. 2? 3? =/ and then the booklet team did their stuff again and i helped a bit while waiting for leonie.
and i checked! it IS "Contents Page"! it's not "Content Page"!!! it's the proper English term!
gawd.
no wonder my dad told me i was good in english when i wrote "Contents Page" many months ago. he told me a lot, and he meant a LOT, of people often miss out the "s". i thought then, that's just the proper and right term, basic english. it's like, you know it without thinking. even my dad whose english is just so-so knows it. lol.
now i know what he meant.
not showing off or whatever. oh well, maybe a bit. xP lmao. =_="

YamaPi's Juice Trick
this is uber cute. xD happened when they were very young~ when yamaPi's around 15/16 yrs old? and LOOK AT RYO. he's 1 year older than yamaPi yet he looks like he's still 8! XD
so tiny. grow taller, ryo~
anyway, yamaPi showed them that the juice won't spill. then someone shouted "Abunai yo! (BE CAREFUL!)". and then LOOK AT RYO's confused expression! XDDD i loved it when he asked "nande? (why?)"~~ XDDD
after the experiment everyone was like, "how are you going to drink it?" "kore doushiyou?" - what do we do with this~ they have no idea how they're not going to spill that~ xD their expressions were super funny haha.
watched this like a million times already, still it's funny hahaha.
*ryo and yamaPi were wearing the same ring xD*

Keita Tachibana ~ Michishirube
i can't believe i forgot to check this back!!!! this has been out for so long... =_="
KEITA'S SOLO DEBUT!!! his song Michishirube is GOOD!!! a lot of people prefer his less-strained voice when he's in w-inds. though. and they say his new solo sounds a bit country-ish.. =/ but i still love his voice haha~
he's 20 now... compare it to when he first sang w-inds.' first single, Forever Memories.
w-inds. ~ Forever Memories
it's. so. much. better. now. XD
also see w-inds.' latest single: Boogie Woogie 66
w-inds. ~ Boogie Woogie 66
but i hope w-inds. won't disband just cause he's going solo!!! ryuichi and ryuhei were with him since they were small after all~~
they're all in Japanese, of course. i myself don't understand. T_T
--- choir.
hopeless la!!! for the first time we got punished. the alto (except me phew) and sop 1 section had to run outside. alto: 5 + 2 = 7 rounds. sop 1: 2 rounds.
and that 3/6 girl in my section had to stand on a chair at the back where the steps are.
heh.
bye, choir.
--- BOOKLET TEAM FOR JAPAN EXCHANGE PROGRAM.
please do something about the booklet. ms lee is super not happy. and i'm getting all the reprimands despite how i'm not even in your group. she wants u people to compile them in 1 window. she doesn't care already. she said it's entirely up to you all. if it's not done there might be no booklet for this programme. i'll try to continue to help.
--- can you imagine being in school EVERY SINGLE DAY INCLUDING SATURDAY after holiday started. yes, since it started there was not even a day when i could relax at home. it's either bridging programme, CCA or this thing.
gawd. how i wish i'm either steffi, arlha or leonie who are enjoying their sweet holiday in indonesia right now. yes, u might see leonie just now in the afternoon but she left at 5. and i'll have to go for the Clean & Green Week thingy tomorrow alone by myself. since i dunno the place at all i'm meeting up with jasmine at 6.
sigh.
--- my mum decided that she won't be back this week. and it's because the MSP they're working on in indonesia is doing well. well, i'm glad that's it's well. but pleaaaaaaaase come back here as soon as possible!!! mou...
she'll be back next week.

^the students were given a "manga booklet" about frictional forces.
^this is the ex-teacher of the teacher-lawyer when he was young.
^explaining forces...
^...using a stupid drawing and explanation. xD
^hideki (teppei-kun! XD)
^yajima (yamaPi! XD)
^yes, that's frictional force, what we just learned.
^uh huh...
^boring!
^yeah!
^lawyer-teacher.
^lawyer-teacher's ex maths teacher.
^lawyer-teacher's (involuntary) helper, original teacher of Ryuzan Koukou.
^yajima's (yamaPi) childhood friend.
^maybe this works better than mr lee's method? xP
--- all those screenshots are from episode 5 of Dragon Zakura. xD the show is utterly funny haha. the lawyer is cool, the teachers are weird, the methods are funny, the students are dumb, the parents are crazy, the police department is biased. what more can there be? XD and this is only episode 5~~ xD

9:47 pm
found the Dragon Zakura videos! the uploader actually has a playlist which i didn't see before. ~_~ so i managed to continue watching it hahas. teppei-kun's voice is super high can haha. and yamapi's rather the cool guy here. XD maa... i've been enjoying it so far~ x) the OST is nice pretty too ^^ but i can't find it anywhere on the net available for download. =.= it's Realize by Melody (or was it the other way round? nah, dun think so.. xP). but the insert song is definitely the best one~ hahaha. Colourful by yamaPi! it's niiiiiiice~
--- today lele came to my house. i taught her how to edit stuff in Photoshop CS2. ii na~ how i wish my photoshop is working again.. T_T then while slacking and waiting for the time to pass by for the meeting in KAP i let her watch Nobuta. wo Produce! hehehe... she rofl-ed so many times can~ haha. and even she agrees that yamaPi wa cho kawaii desu!! XD how can angeline not see that cute part of him? hahahaha. xD
but in the end, only 1 hour before the meeting was supposed to start someone smsed lele. and told her that it was cancelled. =.= good thing my house is just nearby and we haven't left my house yet. so we watched N.wP till around 3pm and then we went to KFC in bukit timah plaza. it's nicer than McDonald's in any case, so we changed the venue~ XD chatted there till 4 cause lele had to go to orchard for her singing lesson. so i just went home after that and continued watching stuff on youtube.
and i cleaned up my fanlistings list. i was planning to remove some of them because my liking towards them just died off somehow. but the ones i really like were the ones getting cleaned up instead cause their sites are down. =_= sigh.
--- ah, sou. i really hate the way SCs in our school communicate. i mean, the communication just truly sucks. =.= if i hadn't gone for the dance practice yesterday, i wouldn't have known that there was supposed to be a meeting in KAP at 3 o'clock today. thank god natasha reconfirmed with alicia and i happened to hear it. today, if leonie hadn't gone to my house, i wouldn't have known that the supposedly-held-meeting was cancelled. =.=
seriously, what's wrong with the way our school communicate stuff?
--- happy sweet 17th birthday to ryan!
lalala~ ♫♪
11:03 am
my aircon broke down yesterday!!! i had to use the fan to sleep. it definately doesn't feel nice. -.-
somehow after my parents go to indonesia a lot of things become problematic. =_= had to buy detergent la, no more car to use la, then that stalker started calling/smsing la, my printer's ink is used up and cause i didn't know how to change it at first i took super long before it was successful la, and now my aircon breaks down. =.= gawd, it's so hard to do/fix stuff around here when they're not here. this is why i do not wish to live alone.
sigh.
--- on youtube: i could only manage to watch the first 2 parts of Dragon Zakura. that's because i need to be friends with the uploader first. AFTER my friend invitation got accepted, stupid youtube deleted the other parts of the jdrama. rotten luck.
but even only by watching the first two parts i know that's a funny show haha. abe hiroshi's act as a lawyer is super funny lols. yamaPi's hair was still pretty long in this drama. he really is a pretty boy, damn. xD this time he acts like a tough kid (from what i've seen so far) lols. man, he's a really good actor & singer. compare his character in here with the ones from Nobuta. wo Produce and Kurosagi. totally different. xD
oh wells. got to wait patiently for the rest to be uploaded (i hope).
it's getting more and more creepy la wtf. yesterday someone called without saying who he is, then he said it's the wrong number. then today another guy called my grandmother's handphone but she didn't manage to pick it up. but after her handphone straight away the house phone rang. after my grandmother picked it up the guy actually said that it's the wrong number. wtf? it's super bs la. how can it be the wrong number if he got 2 different numbers with the same owner? and he called straight away after the hp got cut off? what kinda crap?
i dunno whether it's the same person, cause the number's different. however there's always the possibility of using another friend's hp, isn't there? whoever the fucking stalker is, my mum's going to block 93813923. i dun know if blocking someone is actually possible. but if it's not possible then i may have to change my number. MY SUPER NICE NUMBER. it's cause up till now he still sends me all sorts of crap smses. persistent eh? fuck that man.
4:46 pm
Hironori Kusano ~ Comedy Contest @ Ya-ya-Yah Show
such a cute dork! xD that's Hironori Kusano from NewS & K.K.Kity! but i've never heard any of K.K.Kity's songs before. somehow the group name sounds rather... =_=" lols.
anyway, he probably was supposed to read a piece of news written on the paper he was holding while acting out something that's written on the paper held by that 8 year-old kid (meaning read the news in different expressions... tabun ne~). he's really cute towards the end! XDD
he looked really stupid and sounded gay. hahaha. especially at this part, "hai, kora hani." hai = yes, kora = come here, hani = honey. that means: "yes, come here, honey!" XDDD then he gave up at the end~ haha.
--- i finished watching Ichi Rittoru no Namida (1 Litre of Tears) a while ago. but as i mentioned before there were no subtitles since the last part of episode 3... i only catched on the meaning when something happens or those few words i actually understand were said... =/ aya died in the end, of course, cause this story's based on a real story~ sigh. felt like crying whenever Ryo (a.k.a. asou haruto in the story) cried. =/
hmm... now i need to finish watching Kou Kou Kyoushi 2003's last few episodes before i start watching Dragon Zakura~ ^^; Dragon Zakura has yamaPi and Teppei acting in it! XD something to look forward to... hehehe. -grin-
--- happy birthday to my mum! she's still in indonesia... T_T

*warning* fan-girling mode again
--- why does ryo have to look so hot!? especially in the rain!!! (*.*) i'll get a nosebleed soon, i tell you.
hahaha. maybe that's going a bit too far. but WHY IS RYO SO DAMN HOT?! x| especially when he's wet!!! as in UNDER THE RAIN. (don't get the wrong idea here now, people.) i wonder how his parents look like to be able to produce such a hottie. xDD and his 2 elder brothers. and his younger sister.
i love his role in 1 Litre of Tears. (and the girl, Sawajiri Erika, was good too!) though i've only watched 4 episodes thus far. 3 of which there were english subtitles. for the 4th episode and so on there isn't any cause no one uploaded it! T_T but i continued watching anyway because i really want to know how the story develops. and (surprisingly) for that episode without subtitles i actually understood 20% of it. LOL! 20%. what a joke. maybe that's too high. complacency or over-confidence is bad. 15%? 10%? oh heck, i just can't get enough of him. xPP i don't care if some people think he's ugly or wdv!
i love his (!!!): VOICE. EYES. FACE. HAIR. ACTING. SONGS. SINGING. BODY. ARCHERY. SMILE!!!
ryo-sama wa hontou ni sugoku kakkoii desu!!!
one of these days i'm really going to print out some pics of those bishounen (yamaPi, ryo, kame, jin, teppei, matsujun, uchi, etc etc etc) and have pasted them all over my room!!!
why?
CAUSE I DON'T KNOW ANY PLACE WHICH SELLS THEIR POSTERS!!! tell me if u know~~ but most likely u won't. lol.
--- someone pleeaassee upload Ichi Rittoru no Namida with english subtitles to youtube!!! or just tell me where i can download it OTHER THAN from JPopSuki Forum.
i don't mind watching it all over again just to get what ryo was saying!!!
oshietekureru yo!!! onegai shimasu!

--- oh gawd, i'm being much too girlish again. only in this aspect! XP
7:27 pm
EDIT: oh gawd, cause of that fucking stalker (as QY calls IT) i forgot my other point of blogging~!!!
edwin didn't tell me that NISHIKIDO RYO-SAMA is the lead actor for Ichi Rittoru no Namida (1 Litre of Tears)!!! if i knew i would have watched it much earlier!!! i didn't want to watch it because i hate sad plots/storylines, but when i knew that ryo is the lead actor, i quickly started watching it. XPP
i haven't finished watching Kou Kou Kyoushi 2003. =X i really should finish it soon. only 3 episodes are left anyway. hee.
*boldened words above are the additional blog post i just wrote after QY tagged*
--- SOME RANDOM26 YEAR-OLDINDIAN GUY WITH AN EXCRUCIATINGLY POOR ENGLISH WHO (I-DON'T-HOW) KNOWS THAT I'M AN INDONESIAN JUST CALLED ME ASKING IF WE CAN BE FRIENDS SO SUDDENLY, LIKE WTF!!!!!!!
I DON'T EVEN KNOW HIS FCKING NAME AND HE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW MINE AND THEN I TOLD HIM MINE WITHOUT SUSPECTING ANYTHING AND THEN HE ASKED THAT?!?! THEN HE TOLD ME HE'S AN INDIAN GUY WITH AN AGE OF 26 (THAT'S LIKE, 10 YEARS OLDER THAN ME?!) WHO WANTS TO KNOW ME.
WHEN I HUNG UP HE SENT MANY MESSAGES THOUGH I NEVER REPLIED LIKE WTF!!!
IT'S SUPER CREEPY CAN???
--- urgh...
and arlha, steffi, edwin, eddiek, steven [and some others] are probably just reaching indo airport now. so nice!!! T_T
shanny and robinson are leaving tomorrow morning at 8... =/
oh well, u guys have fun.
--- went out with rla, edwin and (for the first time) steven this morning and then met up with shanny and (ro)binson [he claimed that people used to call him that. just 'binson'. =X] in far east plaza. edwin bought bee cheng hiang for $86 ($_$!!!) for his relatives and family~ then we walked around for a while and went to cineleisure. chatted as shanny, robinson, steven and edwin ate in kobayashi.
oh yea. before that, since it was my first time meeting steven and i had no idea that he came along i kinda froze when he said hello and waved to me. =X i was shocked and stopped moving for a while, thinking who he is. then i thought that maybe he's one of my churchmates whom i've met before but forgot who and so i just waved and smiled awkwardly and walked away. ._. then when he followed me, arlha and edwin from behind i was like, 'why is he following us?'. =X THEN i realised it was steven when he talked to edwin.
shimatta.
i feel so bad for leaving him without properly introducing myself. X( then it was all awkward between us after that... he must think that i'm a very hard-to-talk-to and rude and cold kind of person (though it's probably half right =/)... haiz...
then we walked to CK Tang ("TK Seng" lols) while shanny and robinson were contemplating on whether or not they should buy paos for their parents. but they didn't in the end lols.
anyway we went home after that. took 174 together. after edwin, rla and steven dropped off me, shanny and robinson sat at the front. then robinson said that whenever he sees me he thinks that i'm a very tensed person. o.O yup, he's right. just that he's the first person to actually say it out in my whole life. that kinda shocked me haha. i've been waiting since dunno how many years ago for someone to actually notice lols. seriously. half of my life? =X
so yea, i'm a person full of tension. and i can't seem to relax anywhere. and i feel uncomfortable and awkward when it's just me and another person whom i don't know very well left together because i always have nothing to say. =/
guess that's just the way i am. i've been hating myself for quite some time already. =/
self-pity.
--- THAT CREEPY GUY IS STILL SENDING ME SMSES!!!!!!!!!!!
5:18 pm
[SUMMARY2004] ~ NewS ~ I-ZA-NA-I-ZU-KI
that's NewS performing I-ZA-NA-I-ZU-KI at SUMMARY 2004 [some event]~ now that someone mentioned it in youtube, yea, how did yamaPi came out alive in the opening? XDD coming out from the center of the crowd and all... XDD i love the entrance~ XD
BUT WHERE IS NISHIKIDO RYO-SAMA?????? X(( he's not there... -sobs- busy with Kanjani8 stuff? but uchi was in the performance~~~ mou~~ X(
was surfing for the usual stuff and then i came across this. XD seems to be an interview of YamaPi translated by some kind person~ k.Z- is me. my comments, i mean.
--- The newest Q&A - Yamashita Tomohisa
Q: If you had a child and it was a boy, is it true that you would name it something to do with "umi" (sea)? A: No, if I had to decide on a name right now, it would be "Raimu" [AN: "to come" + "dream"], be it a boy or a girl. It means that a dream is coming closer. Isn't it cute?
Q: What kind of things do you always talk about with Akanishi-kun? A: If we meet, our conversation starts first with "What should we eat?" Then we talk about mutual friends, "I heard that he got a girlfriend." "No way! Really!?", like that. We don't talk about work or ask advice on matters of love. Hey, we don't need to talk about this. Because he loves me and I love him. *laughs* k.Z- "Because he loves me and I love him. *laughs*" cho kawaii!!!
Q: I have dry hair, what kind of good shampoo do you use? A: Ah, I found out I'm using the same shampoo as Koyama! We're using a certain Asian brand shampoo. *laughs* (Tegoshi and Masuda: "Me too!") Really!? We all share the same fragrance then! *laughs* k.Z- so what shampoo do you use? Q: Is it true that you bought soo much western-style clothes that you needed to rent extra space? A: No, I'm not renting extra space. Something like a warehouse, am I a stylist or what? *laughs* But it's true that I don't know where to put all of my clothes. My closet and my two clothes hangers [AN: We don't have these kind of hangers here in Germany, so I thought I'd explain: basically they look like the clothes hangers you see in department stores, a metal frame with hangers.] are all full, and I'm already putting stuff on top of them. I'm going to give the clothes that I don't wear anymore to someone. k.Z- i love his dressing style. like in TEPPEN! *.* Q: You said before in a magazine that you like make-up that still looks natural, do you hate it when a girl wears no make-up at all? A: No, I actually like no make-up better than anything that looks natural! k.Z- see? natural is good! make-up is bad! =X lol. j/k, no offence. but natural is gd, ne? XD Q: Do you put soy sauce on fried egg? Or do you put sauce on it? A: Fried egg...? I don't put anything on fried egg. On an egg roll with dashi I put soy sauce, on a sunny side up egg I put sauce.
Q: I haven't seen YamaPi wearing a cap or a hat either on television or in a magazine. Do you hate caps? A: It's true that I don't wear anything on my hat when I'm wearing my private clothes. It's not as if I need to hide my face. But during concerts and such I do wear caps? And in "Kurosagi" too... Please watch me more closely! *laughs* k.Z-Kurosagi is a must-watch! XD it's GOOD. very. and he wore a lot of caps there! LOL. Q: If you got one month of vacation, where would you go, with whom, and what would you do? A: Hm, I'd go with friends if they got some time off too, or with my family, to Hawaii. I've always loved Hawaii, so much that I really plan on living there someday in the future. I want to go surfing while feeling the warm sun on my skin. Q: Is it true that YamaPi doesn't sweat a lot? A: I do sweat! I'm also a human!? *laughs* I sweat buckets during concerts. And while I sleep, I also sweat. k.Z- thank god i use air-con when i sleep. Q: Is it true that Kamenashi-kun invited you to eat stew? A: More than saying Kame invited me, it's that when I went to Kame's house, I had some of his mother's stew. But that happened quite some time ago. Even before "Nobuta~". Q: You say you're training your body in order to be able to protect your loved ones. Who are they? A: My family, my pets, my friends, and if I had one, my girlfriend too. And of course my fans too. k.Z- his pets? XD so cute. haha. Q: Is it true that you got 0 points in an exam when you were in middle school? A: True true. Because I didn't write anything else but my name on the paper. If you ask why... I had my rebellious period at that time. Q: With all your training, did your interest in clothes change? A: No, it didn't. I still like pretty clothes that accent your figure. The thing that changed after I gained muscles was not my interest, but my size. k.Z- and i still love his dressing style. Q: When and how do you write your j-web entries? A: If I see a beautiful view, I want to share it with others, so I take a picture with my cellphone and mail it. I'm writing during my free time. There's no fixed time.
Q: Please tell me about the song for "Kurosagi", "Daite senorita"! A: First, the lyrics are very straight-forward, they set my heart pounding. The melody calls to mind the rock music of the 80s, they feel nostalgic. If you listen to it once, you won't forget it, and since the choreography is also quite simple, I want you to imitate it in karaoke. k.Z- i love the PV. a lot. and the song itself too of course. Q: Please tell me what you can about your best buddy U-kun! A: U-kun and I went to the same highschool. He is very tall, he is also active in the entertainment world, he is kind to people and to animals and he's a special and funny person. k.Z- are? who's U-kun? kame? bakanishi? uchi? uchi it is. XD [the one i pointed out in rou fui's magazine - uchi hiroki!] Q: How do you feel, having turned 21? A: I'll always pitch with all I have! I feel like hitting the ball full swing at the batter's box, scoring a homerun and running with all I have! Such a feeling. *laughs* k.Z- i wanna try those batter's boxes... Q: Please tell me about your recent condition! A: My average sleeping time is two to three hours, but for some reason I'm still full of energy. It's really as if I didn't know any exhaustion when I'm home. *laughs* Energy drinks? I don't drink any. I don't drink any. I'm not someone who depends on things like that. *laughs* The reason for my good is probably that the dorama this time fits me so well, I think. k.Z- i don't think i can survive if i sleep 2 - 3 hours everyday... @.@ omg.

10:57 am
maa.. beware. this'll be a monotonous one. cause i'm not in any mood.
now let's just jump to what we wanna hear, shan't we?
Day 1 reached school at around 6:45. pumping position at 7 cause it seemed we were too slow to act. after head counts and all, we took a bus to Marina Country Club in punggol. then we took a ferry to pulau ubin. had to run here and there. =.= then we were told to put our bags aside and assemble in the conference room. again, pumping position by the teachers cause there was no sense of urgency. then we were given a camp booklet and had to look for our names in the different groups. poor me i was alone again in another group (no one from 3/1, i mean). i was in group 3 (Jomeans - Joanna [sp?] & Amin) , buddy group's group 4 (RLs - Rojak Leaders), together we're A².
those in group 3 (whom i can remember =/): - me - benjamin chiew - natasha - gary - shu huey - vivian - clara - leonard (sp?) - asrul - dulcie - this malay guy - this chinese girl then we were sent to pitch our tents. managed to be in the same tent as xin mei, arlha and steffi. and our tents were already pitched by the instructors when they demonstrated it. but it looked as if it'd fall anytime soon.
then we went for our activities:
HIGH ROPES. due to the lack of time, only 2 or 3 people managed to clear the first part of the activity. we managed to do leap of faith though. and unlike other groups, we were supposed to shout out our names and objectives of the camp at the top of the pole. i couldn't catch the trapeze. =/ dang.
.lunch.
UBIN EXPLORER. we're supposed to go to 4 checkpoints and answer the questions asked on a worksheet. i think my group only managed to get to 3. =/ don't really know. we're supposed to sing songs on the way there and since we didn't we got stopped a lot of times.
.dinner.
CONFIDENCE WALK. usual blindfolds. this is probably the only activity which i found no fun at all. cause we have this every year. =.= and it's just blindfolds. bleah.
JETTY JUMP. this was straight away after confidence walk. the 2ND MOST FUN. we're to go up to a platform of about maybe 3/4 a storey high and then jump into the sea water. with life vests on, of course. since i was the first girl to jump down, i stayed in the water for quite some time. XD nice~ then we had to say a cheer first before we could get out of the water. we actually asked for a second time, and the instructors actually let us. but the teachers didn't. =.=
SOLO WALK. yes, i'm a coward. =/ yes, i was afraid. =_= i went with vivian. =X the instructors made the whole thing sound super scary. =.= in the end? ~_~
SOLO WALK - Part 2: Search Party. they formed a scenario once again. this time instead of a dead person, natasha was thought to be kidnapped. had to form a "search party" in the end to "look" for her. but in the end the teacher let her out by herself.
.supper.
.slept @ around 2.45AM.
Day 2 woke up at 6.30. had morning exercise and breakfast from 7 onwards. and since the instructors thought we were too slow in everything we did, they forced us to run back and forth [touch-the-tree for exercise, touch-the-vending-machine for the punishment]. then i couldn't take it. the side of my stomach ached. blood clots appeared. dunno what happened.
TEAM CHALLENGE PYRAMID. i didn't follow my group and go up the TCP [Team Challenge Pyramid] -- which is the best! stayed in an air-conned container and laid down on a stretcher while they went up. was given an ice-pack by joanna to stick on my blood clots. then half-way through i went out to sit by the 'mountain challenge' and chit-chat with amin while watching my groupmates go up the TCP.
.lunch.
i climbed the TCP with 4 teachers -- mr heng, ms noor, mr hisham, ms dawn -- when my group went for rafting. i thought since i was better [cause i was given an ice pack] i should try something i've never done before, rather than an every-year-thing rafting. so i went up with them. i was afraid i'd lose my balance. honestly i am a bit afraid of height too but that was not much of a problem. it was my legs that couldn't stop shaking that scared me. anyway the flying fox down was the best! the balancing log was the worst. and i was shagged up at the end that i laid on the floor when i was done for a while before joining my group again.
.(stupid) RAIN. went to conference room while it rained. bloody 5 minutes. ONLY 5! and know what? 3/4 of our tentage was full of water! and it was dismantled later on. huh.
CAMPFIRE PREPARATION. we did the preparation while waiting for our buddy group to finish showering. we did cheers and a dance~
.dinner.
.shower.
CAMPFIRE PREPARATION - Part 2. cont'd on with the preps.
CAMPFIRE. a guy in each group had to dress up like a girl! to entertain us, of course. XD i think that's because the sand is wet cause of the rain and so we had to use the conference room for the campfire night without an actual campfire. i was suuuuuuuuper sleepy in the later parts! it was after the performance of group 1 and 2's, actually. =/ i was like, trying super hard to keep my eyes open? then there were this and that, usual campfire stuff. lazy to blog about it cause i didn't actually pay attention to what actually happened during the campfire. too sleepy, remember?
.debrief.
.supper.
unfortunately i couldn't sleep early after released because THE TENT WAS DOWN. stupid rain. had to visit every tent, asking for space to sleep in. at first i got into li qing's tent. but in the end all of us [from that tent + some guys and other girls] slept outside in the open. could hear the wild boars' sounds super clearly.
Day 3 had to wake up at 5.30 [without showering] because the teachers want us to do our last activity:
MOUNTAIN CHALLENGE. i actually forgot the real name of the challenge, so, yeah. it's like butterhill, but 3-storeys high, without butterdetergent and water, and is a flat wall. we had to carry the teachers up too. the teachers expected us to complete it in 2 hours, but we did so in 1 hour 12 minutes, though the time limit was 1 hour. =/) got punished - pumping position- again after the activity because we couldn't answer fast enough.
.breakfast.
OPERATION RESTORATION. folded up our tents and cleaned the tentage area. super difficult to zip up the tent bag, can? had prashant, eddiek, and this guy [sorry, i dunno ur name] to help us zip it up. then xin mei and i brought the tent bags [ours and prashant's group's] back to the container. amin asked if i'm okay [blood clot thingy]. so nice of him. haha. he was so cold in the first day cause it seemed our group was hard to get along with. =/ then all of us gathered in the conference room and had recollection of memories of the past 3 days there after we were given our t-shirts. took many photos and did our last few cheers. =) then we took the ferry and bus back to school.
a few people cried. =/ i was a bit sad too la, but i was super glad that i'm back home. XP
NEXT DAY & UP TILL NOW we're back to SCHOOL for bridging programme again. sigh. i think the programme so far has been useful only for a few subjects. =/ and e maths is not helping me any better. chinese too. speaking about it, i'm afraid of tomorrow's presentation. TYVM HAO-sq FOR HELPING ME!!! a certain someone is going to be enjoying her birthday at home. haha. i know you're reading this. happy early b'day~ don't feel too bad about chinese yea? LOL. XP nvm, think of it as a payback for when i was absent for LTC. hehe.
--- done! finally. and i'm too tired to comment some more. sore ja~!
