Japan Craze?

I've just bought myself a lot of japanese ornamental stuff these while. Just came back from IOI mall with 3 new ornaments from DAISO(All RM5 Japanese stuff) outlet. The guy at the cashier was like: "Wow,u've really bought a lot of "flags" hor..."...LOL...Jamie & my sis felt quite awkward about what i've bought...they said it will attract the spirits of the Japanese soldiers around..(touch wood)

Disturbia

Finally i've managed to persuade my parents to do something about the disturbance that we have been experiencing since 15 years ago when we shifted into our current double-storey house.Is there really a "disturbance" occuring within our supposedly to be a "stress-free" house? Or was it only the play of our thoughts? I have no idea...For everyone's info,before my house was built back in 1993,the site used to be a rubber estate which is situated on top of a hill. After is had been vanished,the area started to develop and more residential areas were starting to appear. These are the sightings that we've experienced throughout the 15 years:-

1) I used to see a little girl with her white shirt running upwards on my staircase with her teddy bear on the left hand.

2)My sis saw a white-figured like shirt seeped through my room's door.

3)When my dad was off to work in the morning while my mom was still in bed,she felt someone rolling on the bed beside her and she felt the heat of the spot.

4)When me & my sis were having home tuition at downstairs while her friends were at upstairs,her friends heard my sis' voice calling one of her friends while knocking on the door,they opened it but no one was there.

5)At one midnite,my sis n my maid heard the repetitive banging(opening & closing)of the toilet door and the toilet bowl cover.

6)At midnite,my sis heard someone was washing his/her hands in the toilet.Right after that, my maid screamed very loudly.

7)Right after my 4th maid came along,her son died from a motorcycle accident.

8)I realised that one spot of the floor in my room was hotter than the other places.(According to Ash,there was a kid sitting or standing on that spot...)

9)In 1998,Jamie saw a person appeared right at the back of her sis' curtain from the outside of the window and an old carrying a baby near the window of the side house.She burst into tears after that.

10)My sis saw a man(his hairstyle was back in the 1940's) sitting at our couch in our living hall.

11)Some housewives saw a white figure with a long hair appeared in front of the house at the backyard and the playground.

12)My sis(since 5 years ago)and my dad felt a strong pressure exerted on top her while she was asleep at night(she was immobile for a few minutes).

13)When i was listening to my hi-fi,the volume turned to minimum all of a sudden.When i adjusted back to the normal volume,it kept against me until i was really mad that i stomped my foot on the floor and it stopped.There's once the volume even had been turned to maximum suddenly.

14)My sis & my dad had the same dream when they were asleep at the same time right one after another.(They dreamt about an old lady...)

15)Guests that had come to our house didn't feel easy after staying for a while.

Jamie's mom had brought us to a chinese medium to seek some advice.After giving my sis' chinese birth date and our house address,the medium(an old aunty)concluded that we've been "visited" by our ancestors and has been given "signals"...(as we don't have any altar for our ancestors at home)...she suggested that we sprinkle some rice+tea leaves to all of the woods,tiles and bricks that is located in the south-east of our house. She also has given my sis some amulet and some guidelines on what to buy to pay respect to the ancestors and the "passerby". We have bought paper-made cash,shirts and a lot of others (which is used for chinese ritual prayers)to burn for the ancestors(as a sign for their usage in their world).Hope that we can really being "released" after all the rituals. *Fingers crossed*

We've been fooled in April!

Me and Ash were enjoying our suppers and the horror movie in our college's warung...suddenly i've recieved an SMS from Kim Lai asking me to watch TV2 on that time when the clock struck 12am not long before...he said that Sungai Wang had been attacked by terrorists' blast where 96 people were dead,70+ people were injured and 20+ people gone missing and the whole building of Sungai Wang collapsed! I didn't even hesitate or bother to scroll down the SMS further and asked Ash to get the permission from the warung owner to switch the channel to TV2...no news were broadcasted at any of the local channels at that time. And I found out that I've being fooled when I scrolled down the SMS....malu I~~~We felt like morons at that moment,crows flew here and there~~~~we couldn't even reply any SMS or called because even Maxis service provider played a trick on us for that whole nite until the next morning....
On the next day of April's fool,the team had been informed to wear formal attire for a meeting with the master regarding their achievement(actually it was a trick)...there are some members who really believed it and wore it~~~LOL.....Happy April Fool~~ ; p

The last concert...

The choir team had been working very hard for 25th March 2009,the day that kept us waiting for the longest. Everyone especially the seniors worried the most for this time round compared to the previous ones due to some new+never-before-seen problems encountered(this should be referred back to the grandmother stories back in 2008). I've joined back the team 2 weeks before the competition day as a pasu bunga because my members & peers kept reminding me that this might be the last time for to stand on the stage with them as i will be graduating in mid-year. I was worried too at the same time because I didn't know how to sing both of the songs well as I've never attended any of the practices. I've managed to appear twice for the practice within the 2 weeks. I should say that i picked up quite fast because I've was quite familiar with the songs as I've listened to the team singing them before although i still make some mistakes and having trouble memorising the lyrics... : p

During the pre-competition week,almost everyone were suffering from sorethroats,coughs, and lost of voice. And this included me as well which i didn't even know how i can get it..maybe it's due to the contagious virus. Wherever i go,for sure i can hear coughing sound without fail...as if i've caught an acute bronchitis or something...i have not recovered even until now...T_T...everyone took extra care of their voices in terms of their food intakes and all(excluding me...LOL). The team even had a movie session(The Lion King) as well as a sharing session to bring up the emotion and passion...it was no doubt that the seniors were quite emotional throughout the week where they cried a lot...for instance,MC cried as well as the other 3rd years cried when they were singing our past competition song "Belaian Jiwa"...(u guys miss me issit?LOL... : P)...Actually from the bottom of my heart,I do feel very bad and left out whenever I didn't join them or even teach the juniors properly as i felt that we are one and I should have been more matured in time management...T_T...please forgive once again...

On the competition day itself, I didn't join the team for the rehearsal as I was having an exam on the exact time of the rehearsal starts...and that even attracted a spy that followed the team round and round like a merry-go round...LOL...Right after lunch time,everyone started busying with their make-ups and all...and as usual, "Terence's Salon" was launched once again...luckily I had some assistant like Spring & Chun Hui to help me out...after putting up the costumes and dinner, we had an extra session of exercise(1st time for the my 3 years on a competition day)during the warm up(the invisible chair)...I guessed that helped to do some final touch up to our voice qualities due to the emerging of some new strong rivals... : p....The prayers were quite special this time as I can notice that ES was reading it from a paper?(i guessed)...after ES finished the prayers,he came in between me and Spring and held our hands very tightly...I couldn't stand Abang Soo's prayers and I've just teared with the others...MC cried very badly as she had totally lost her voice and insisted us to sing for her...T_T

Once we've reached DTC, the juniors were quite nervous especially Ah Hee where he kept telling me and yee chang that he was nervous...awwhh...adorable~~I've acted like a clown in order to keep everyone stay calm...during our singing,the seniors were quite shocked with the effect,Shiao Tan broke down to tears when the 1st shivering line of the song was sung(MC was the pasu bunga of the melody,left Mian Yi singing alone)everyone was very nervous...after the singing,everyone was so relieved and even Ying Chong cried..LOL...i was quite disappointed when ES told me that the basses couldn't be heard...I've guessed that for sure that this time would be different and we couldn't expect for the 1st placing anymore...everyone was screaming in joy when we were running towards the front of DTC...MC broke down and cried again and all the 3rd years including Mandy,Ash,Me,Guang Han and Spring hugged her and cried as well...T_T(a lot of crying huh)....

The most heart stopping moment came when the result was about to be announced...Ray was very worried and started to cry while Shiao Tan held his hands and tried to calm him down...all of us were holding each others hands...everyone was quite relieved when 6th got the 3rd placing...the most exciting moment was when the 2nd place were to be announced...it belongs to the 2nd college...everyone was shocked~~at that point,I've guessed that everyone knew the answer for the next placing...once it was announced,we jumped so hardly to the air with joy...all of us cried and hugged each other..."I couldn't believe it!We've done it,Terence,we've done it!!" Ash yelled in tears...the other audiences were staring at us as if we were the actors of a drama!
It was indeed unbelievable and out of our expectations...

As usual,we went to celebrate the achievement at the McDonald's in SS14...we had a lot of crazy moments in the party room that really annoyed the other customers of the outlet... : p... Once again,thank you to all the mentors and members that gave each others a chance to have such a splendid moment of this lifetime...

I wished that we will never say good-bye~~~

Lights off on 28th March 2009

"Turn off your lights if you're still an earthling on 28th March 2009 for one hour between 8.30pm til 9.30pm"...this campaign is about to flare up on that day itself in conjunction with the nation's realisation on the global warming issue locally in our beloved and united country Malaysia..This campaign had not been a new issue in the western countries since 2007...can the nation prove that we're united as a whole to cope with all the mess we had done since the first day we'd stepped into this world?do all the people think that they're part of the planet's residents as well? Why human beings like to take things for granted once they had a way in achieving for luxury? Selfishness & thoughts of "come what may" are the answers i guess..or maybe they are having a thinking of global warming is fated and shouldn't be bothered about because they don't live in this world for long,so they don't give a damn on it...maybe this is some kind of karma to the human race as they are experiencing the consequences for what they had done to their motherland for centuries...i was acknowledged that 8TV will not be broadcasting on that hour to support the campaign...local earthlings will give excuses like:

1. "Are u crazy or that lame??"

2. "I don't nid to study issit?"

3." U think i'm so free ah?I don't have better things to do meh?"

4. "Aiyo,like tat mai very hot lo?"(stupid,no one ask u to switch off ur fans or air-cons or wateva)

5."Cannot la,i hv date tat nite"

6."Huh,i wil b having my favourite drama "XXX" on tat time itself leh~~"

7."OMG..wat am i gonna do in the dark 4 tat one hour?"

8. " I hv assignments 2 do la...tak boleh"

9. " U off urself la,im not tat "chee seen"(means nuts in cantonese)"

10."Kee Siao ah...wa bo eng leh!!"

LOL~~~~support 60 hours Earth Day...regards

Bringing music to the NEXT LEVEL

To mark the start of her new journey on the 11th year (2009) of her career after her 10th anniversary,J-pop queen Ayumi Hamasaki will be releasing her 10th studio album titled "NEXT LEVEL" on 25th of March 2009(Wednesday) worldwide right after her release of her latest single "Rule/Sparkle". Her upcoming album will be released in a total of 4 different versions (1st: 2CD+1DVD ; 2nd: 1CD+1DVD ; 3rd: 1CD ; 4th: USB). The 1st version will come with an extra audio-recorded of her premium countdown live 2008/2009.

The ordinary audio CD(non-live)will contain a total of 13 tracks(yet to be confirmed) which will include her recent singles like GREEN/Days,Rule/Sparkle & hopefully Mirrorcle World as well because there are some sources claimed that the particular single will not be included,wonder why...but it's yet to be revealed after 25th of February...^^...

The DVD itself will include a total of 6 PV's and 6 PV's making of's..kinda disappointing to me cuz it's quite a few PV's included as there will be only 2 new PV's...unlike for (miss)understood(2005's album) which have a total of 9 PV's...how disappointing...isn't it?LOL...

Something new that she's experimenting is that the 4th version of NEXT LEVEL will be in a 2.0GB USB form. The USB will include all of the 13 tracks as well as all the 6 PV's & making-of's in the form of MP4. She planned to release it in this way because she can observe that the way people listen to music evolves for time to time. Previously people will just play their favourite cassettes & CD's but now MP3 players are everywhere to be seen.

The tracklist of the CD will be as follow:

1. 
   
   Bridge to the Sky

5 days in "Fragrant Harbour"

With only a total of 3 hours sleep the night before,we departed from LCCT at about 6am on 13th of Dec 2008. A total of 4 hours flight was needed in order to reach HK's international airport that situated on the southern island. Along with us were none of the other tourists that accompanied us throughout the whole journey but only ourselves. Once reached the airport,we met up one of the tour's representative at one of the corner. I was pissed off with the delay & the unsystematic arrangement of the tour as well as a cocky face shown by one of the male worker there. Only a couple & 3 of us were sent to our respective hotels by such a big tour cab.

The temperature during daytime was quite cooling. Across the straits, we were sent to one of an infamous Stanford hotel in Soy Street of Mongkok, Kowloon city. According to the itinerary,we were supposedly to be left freestyle for the 1st whole day. We had lunch in one of the un-spacious casual restaurant. The meal was quite filling as for it's price of RM11!

An expensive meal at "Soy Street" Mongkok

My next target was to search for Sino Plaza that situated beside Nathan Road according to the map i've studied. John(HK net pal)was the one who guided that i can get a copy of ayu's album cheaply at that spot. In my surprise,the journey was not far and i finally managed to get it cheaply(RM60 in HK version but RM90 for M'sian version locally)with a free poster..^^. Next,we walked around the famous "Lady street" or "Tung Choi street". It is retail street which is similar to local's Petaling Street. Another thing that pissed me off was a young lady tourist without her own manners as well as the other promoters. My mom spent quite a time to "fool around"(bargain) with one of dealer there. We went back to our hotel for a rest at 4pm(as we had only 3 hours sleep b4).

Busy streets of Mongkok

After having our expensive dinner in one of the restaurant at the same street, we proceed to our exploration again around Mongkok again. The place was crowded till the extend that roads built specially of vehicles had became pathment for the crowd. Mongkok street was just like an open-air shopping paradise with each retail outlets situated in each of the packed buildings. As we walked along the streets,we came into a road block where a lot of ppl surrounded to have a look and wondered what was happening with all the police & news-reporters gathered and a fire brigade stopped by.

Live TVB-like police action at Mongkok

The whole scenario was just like a "live" TVB drama that we M'sian watch at home.LOL.After watching a news live broadcast back in the hotel,we were acknowledged that the incident was actually an acid-spill case. 2 bottles of acid-contained chemical were thrown from the top of the building by the suspect that hurt 45 ppl in the crowd at 5pm. They suffered from skin irritation & burning. Another case that happened on the same day at Tung Choi street was a brick was flung down to the crowd where the plastic roof cover was torn by the impact. Fortunately no one was hurt and the suspect had been arrested. (Phew! luckily we were not there at that time)

The next morning,we were brought by the tour guide along with other singaporean tourists for a day-long city tour after a sumptious dim-sum breakfast. We had trips to the jewellery manufacturer,the herbs outlets as well as the famous Jumbo floating restaurant.



Out of a sudden,we encountered a live TVB shooting session~~^^.. After lunch, together with a singaporean family,we departed to Shenzhen by MRT. Since this was our 1st time in HK,we had no idea that we were not allowed to take the VIP transit. Along the journey,we were confronted by a few guards after they had checked out tickets. We were chased off from the transit and told that we were to be fined for HK$500(RM250) each. We were forgiven as that was our very 1st time.They copied down our details to ensure that we will never use the same reason to take the VIP transit again~~WTH!! As we'd reached Shenzhen province,we were welcomed by a cantonese tour-guide. after leaving our belongings,we were brought to a nearby "Pasar Malam". We were warned of famous pick pockets around the area. As compared to HK, this place was as crowded but it is dirty & the ppl are even cockier!

The 3rd day we gathered with tourists of our own origin,Malaysians. After breakfast, we were brought to several places like the tea & chinese medicince outlets. Every tourist were entitle for a free consultation by the chinese medicine practitioners. I was "diagnosed" that i will be facing liver disorders due to my bad lifestyle(sleeping late & facing the PC most of the time).. swt!!! In spite of having a bad rash on my arm,i had a couple of beers during lunch.. T_T...it became more & more swollen.



Our next stop after lunch was the Cultural Village. We spent our whole afternoon & nite there. I was really dumbfounded by both of the cultural shows. It was AWESOME!! The dancers were so so professional & the costume was more than glamourous. The lightings,the effects,the fireworks,the waterfall and all was...WOW!!The show last for a total of an hour. I can't imagine that they can have so many dancers(at about more than 100) on stage and the costume changing was so fast! Then they need more than 200 dancers?? One of the tourist from penang(a Hokkien uncle) was pissed off when he couldn't enter the village again once he had exited(the ticket was entitled for a single entry,a 2nd entry has to be approved by an accompiment with the respective tour-guide). He started to blame the tour-guides & showing his moody behaviour throughout the whole dinner. Being a tour-guide is not an easy job as well.


3 KL beauties & the tour guide

The start of the our 4th day was welcomed by a delay in breakfast. We will be leaving from Shenzhen to HK again today. As we were gathering our belongings underneath the travelling cab, we were given nasty piece of minds by the mainland driver. In spite of giving a good service to us,he expect us to pass all the others' belongings one by one to him by scolding us. During the journey, the driver was very pissed off & started his cursings when he knew that he need to fetch us for a long distance without being acknowledged by the headquarter? Every tourists was shocked & wondering what was going with that man...To show his anger,he'd proven to us by his frequent emergency breaks! Kent(the penang tour guide) tried to calm him down like a baby by giving him sweets! Once we had reached the HK-Shenzhen border custom,we met back the previous singaporean family & had our trip back again to HK. My rashes had worsened by night. I'd seeked through the Mongkok streets again for any pharmacies. The pharmacist gave me an idea that i need to be admitted to the hospital as my rash looked like some kind of burns...he prescribed an anti-histamine cream & a few tablets. Fortunately, the prescriptions were like miracle-remedy,my rash subsided immediately the next morning.


Ocean Park

The last day was a trip to the famous HK Ocean Park. It was delayed again due to mishap happened where the bus broke its own side mirror. The whole 50 cm mirror was crashed & lied on the road in pieces. We needed to wait for another tour bus to proceed our journey. Ocean Park was out of my expectations where all the games are separated far apart by hills & valleys. To reach the top spot of the park,tourist need to go thru as many as 4 long escalators(about 100meters each). We left the park at 2pm to fight with the time to have our last walk in Mongkok streets again,retrieve our belongings & off to the airport~~ It was 17th Dec 2008 by then..."see u again" to HK~~~

Our 3rd Anniversary

She marked the starting point of my UM journey in 2006 june when she released her summer single "BLUE BIRD". She was introduced to me by my HK net pal. Upon my curiosity towards her masterpieces,i'd tried downloading her songs like HEAVEN,Carols...etc..surprisingly this blonde wannabe japanese lady captured my attention through her "noisy" melodies and her sassy,outrageous images..she's the only one that i've wasted most of my $$$,energy,time & effort...what is the point actually?and what do i get from it? Maybe it's still the same immature,old habit of crazy-ing over stars...

My latest album collection of hers~~

My latest poster collection of hers~~

i used 2 get annoyed by her fake eyes & rumours that she was a porn-star & gone thru several plastic surgeries(which i believe are untrue)..as i get to noe her more, she actually writes all her songs,co-composed & produces her tours as well... As the saying goes "Nothing is perfect in this world", she can't speak good english, sing good mandarin, or even having a height of a super-model..she had lost hearing of her left ear due to over-exposure to loud noise.She had never given up on her dreams in spite of her hearing problem.i remembered that she quoted that she will continue her journey until she loses both of her hearings.her wish?praying that her voice can be sent to our hearts & persist eternally(from her classic song "Who..").

My drawing of her "Mirrorcle World" single

My drawing of her "Secret" album~~
