shopaholic buys..... loads of japanese stuff...
i have a compulsive obsessive disorder when it comes to buying things...

i bought these over a few days' time...
Snacks from Daiso...
Sweetbox Mild Salt Potato Chips [Daiso]
Furuta Ocha Cookie [Daiso]
Beanie from Muji...

After making a huge fuss blaming my cousin for NOT buying back my Dietweider...
I found these...

romanji... korean... japanese... mandarin... english... ;-(
its hard to translate korean when its all in romanji...
cos u have to build the korean characters up slowly....
i can take me a hour to translate a few short sentences...
and when i finally manage to build the characters...
and place them into a translating software...
they come up as meaningless mumbo-jumbo junk...
so much for trying to translate languages...
i fail as a translator...
its much better speaking face to face...
at least i could use body language and signs to indicate what i wanted to say to Russians in Moscow when i was trying to buy some lunch for my crew....
i think i'd be doing the same in korea if i ever have time and money to go for a vacation there...
at least for japanese i still can read hiragana and katakana and the kanji are similar to mandarin...
so i still can guess the meaning of some stuff when i see the words...
but for korean... i am at a loss....
i dunno wat he is saying to me...

1. Roy Chiu - "Roy Chiu" Autobiography DVD (region 2)

mini makeover for my blog...
limited edition i think...
cos there was a clear card with their pics, and a 50 page photo book along with the 2 dvd box set...
fortunately for me...
everything was subtitled in mandarin...
i could understand what they were singing, and what they were saying...
too bad max's solo performance could not be included because of copyright issues cos he sang a Michael Jackson song...
i guess for xiah it was fine, since blue are under warner music too.. same music label as them...
and too bad jaejoong's leg just recovered, so he couldn't dance along with the guys, and the masked boy did his dances for him while he was elevated here and there while the rest danced on stage... poor thing, can tell he really wanted to dance together with them, cos he was moving to the music, but cos of his injury he couldn't do it...
and since I was in a good mood... i'd be in a even better mood if i know that my "all about dong bang shin ki" dvd box set is being shipped out to me... but it's still put on hold...
anywayz, i decided to have a mini makeover for my blog...
changed the header and the overall design...
something that's more suited for the hot summer weather we are experiencing nowadays...
something cooling...
and soothing...
like tvxq's "summer dream"...
hope u like it... ( e song, e mv, and e make-over for my blog)
inspired by my love for the color turqouise...
and jaejoong of cos...

My hammie's unusual living habits...
She teases it with the vege stalk and when Itti bites onto it, to pull it in, my mum will not let go, but instead let her swing around for some time before letting go...
She's such a playful person for her age...
So don't blame me for talking in baby talk to my hammie... Cos it still looks soooo cute...
Here she is munching happily on the greens that she just successfully grabbed from my mum's hands...
u can hear the LIVE EARTH concert music is playing in the background... as Itti munches on her greens...
I never understood how she could sleep in my karaoke n tv watching noise...
And yet wake up when I walk past silently to try to snap a candid pic...
I think she recognizes us by sense of smell... Maybe that's why my hands are not being attacked on when I put it in everytime I feed her...
and here she is hiding in her small corner...
now she's getting hyped up after her short nap... so... ha ha... love it when her small feet dangle in the air when she climbs up and down... i think she's running around for show, cos she knows i'm looking at her... so camera-sensitive... so much like jaejoongie... ha ha ha...

Transformers - More Than Meets The Eye
juz caught the movie and i thought optimus prime looks different cos he didn't have his face mask detail at his mouth area, thats why i kept feeling that something was missing...
but it was cute seeing how they were trying to hide themselves in e garden...
ha ha ha...
but ended up destroying the pathways and plants...
i think my fave transformer isn't in this movie...
but i think there'll be a sequel...
cos this movie is too good to end in just one movie...
bumble bee is sooo cute...
loved the fighting sequences... u can literally feel like u are there... cos they were fighting amongst the crowds on the streets... and falling down around the people and cars... soooo... exciting...
always used to wonder how the autobots can ever defeat the decepticons as they were only normal harmless vehicles, like trucks, cars, etc whereas the decepticons were like armed fighter planes, tanks, etc...
such a miracle they can survive for so long...
but then again...
thats e point of movies like these...
good always triumps over evil...
Overview LIVE EARTH concert
I watched the telecast on on 07/07/07 on Ch5 from 7pm till 11pm... Even though I think they showed it till 2am, cos they kept showing Sydney side and not so much of the Japan side, and most of the Sydney artists were unfamiliar faces to me...
Not that I know a lot of the Japanese artists... But at least they were more recognisable...
And I was bored... I actually fell asleep watching some of the performances which were heavy rock music... Incredible...
By the time Linkin Park came on, I was already so tired and sleepy...
I slept after I saw Rihanna...
I woke again on 08/07/07 at 6am to catch the continuation of the concert which featured the other cities, but mainly NYC and London...
Much better than the previous night's show...
But still could have been better...
but to show my support for the event...
i wore green and donned on my shrek ears...

Would these be what you consider a treat for ur guests?
The menu consisted of:
- Yong Tau Foo (frozen type) with cabbage soup
- Chicken wings (supposedly oven-roasted, but looks n tasted like soya sauce chicken)
- Curry fishballs (frozen type)
- Pizza (from Pizza Hut)
- Soon Kueh (famous & were from the inviter's house area)
- Fried Hokkien Prawn Mee (also famous & were from the inviter's house area, & it's my fave)
- D24 durian (which some invitees didn't get to eat at all... also my fave...)
And when nobody touched these...
Blacked Oven-roasted Chicken wings
Tasteless Curry fishballs (frozen type)
That inviter actually asked the invitee if she wanted to pack some food back for me, who was not invited even though I knew the inviter... And my entire household's occupants went... I had to make my leave before the inviter came to fetch them to the location, to avoid an awkward situation...
And the food packed back for me were the above-mentioned... They were re-heated for my next day's dinner...
Random Snaps - Itti Ming
To this... In the blink of an eye...
I was just walking past her cage to off the lights when I noticed her sleeping soundly all sprawled out so I took a pic of her... And that was when she woke up... Cos I think she could smell me... Ha ha.. cos she was going *sniff sniff sniff sniff* ha ha ha...

Fly To The Sky - My Angel
Even when he falls asleep everytime she tries to do anything with him...
But it's sad that they both end up the same way...
Ironic that the guy tries to kill himself with sleeping pills when he has been going off to sleep throughout his entire life...

Live Earth - The Concerts for A Climate in Crisis
But how come my fave bands are not performing inside?
So disappointing...
AND...
How come Koda Kumi is inside???!!!!!
Has Ayumi Hamasaki's position as JPop Queen been taken over by her???!!!!
Not that I am a fan of either...
But it's kinda pathetic for Ayumi not to be included in such a big event...
And some of Asia artists have been conveniently forgotten...
I don't wanna say anything about Singapore since we're such a small place... But the rest of the Asia countries like Korea??? There's not only China and Japan in Asia...
They need to be more sensitive when they do such things... It is after all a global event... At least there should be one representative from each country to be fair...Though I understand people might not wanna see everyone since they don't know them...
Seriously I was shocked not to see Rain inside... Having toured before in sell-out tours in the USA before...
Though I wanted to see TVXQ more than Rain...
Shocking...

my dream....
i've decided on the color of my dream car...
i want it to be in turquoise...
cos its close to the color of the sky...
it's got blue... one of my fave colors...
and green... my lucky color...
and it's special...
not many cars are in that color...
but i wonder if that's possible...
