oh man SAVE ME. i feel super pent up. im in Akita for a summer exchange programme for 6 weeks. BUT because akita is so amazingly away fr everything everyone and everywhere, they dont have most of the channels that are available elsewhere in japan!!! and it's not like it's some rare channel or smth. they dont even have FUJI TV for crying out loud! i mean i love the place and all. but seriously, i cant reconcile the fact that here i am STUCK in Akita for 6 weeks, and YET i cant watch TV when it airs!!!!! i have to watch them online! in what way does that make sense????????????????????????????????

anw. that aside, i have a Japanese roommate (: so yay.

i went to batam today to teach drums to the youth in the church there. i went with jie, she taught i piano i taught drums. oh man i love love love love love the youth there!!!!! their amazingly nice and SUPER teachable.. i love them.

one day spent with them i feel as if i've known them for a long time... theyre so simple and nice. untainted by the nastiness and politics of this world. it's such a family church i love them. and im so awed when they speak bahasa indonesia, one moment theyre speaking chinese, then teochew, then bahasa. i LOVE THEM.

and anthony's air-drumming method worked to get them to coordinate and stuff. (: aw man i love them!

yday i did a facebook quiz on arashi's discography and it was in bahasa indonesia. and i managed to do it, by tikam-ing the answers and guessing the meaning of the question. and i got it all correct!! haha.. being an arashi fan for 6 yrs paid off. i can get past stuff in diff languages. haha..

i'm almost done with my TW con transcript. i know it's WAY past the con. but gd things last forever - in recordings. ive yet to finish up the encores and translate the 30min MC. so maybe i'm not that much done with it yet. heh.
once im done with it i will contribute my first important contribution to the fandom - the live recording of Arashi's AAA con in Taiwan last year, plus an extremely detailed concert report. and when i say detailed, i mean 13 over pages of concert report.

i hope to finish it b4 i go to akita for 7 wks. but then agn, i can continue it in Akita. haha.. i've been dragging this since October last year!! but the memory's still vivid in my mind. it's a pity the asia tours didnt get released on dvd...

last nite hui koon and i had a whole arashi fangirl session ON FACEBOOK. haha... writing long entries on each others' walls. gosh it was hilarious!! haha.. we feel each other! haha. damn funny..
if a non-arashi fan read our walls, they'd be like, what?!?!? haha.. it's cool that we understand each others arashi lingo. haa. the rest of our church friends wouldnt know what on earth we're talking about.

anw singapore is on swine flu alert man. mt alvernia hospital is restricting visitors. only 1 visitor per patient the whole day, and the visito allowed in is the visitor that the patient specified. super strict man.. so i was on a mass msging spree today to let ppl know about it so they wont make futile trips to the hosp..

im heading down to the hosp aft a quick lunch.

anw i watched the HSJ concert and snippets of the NEWS diamond party concert. and i concluded. that i still love arashi. arashi cons are still stronger and better. tho i like all 3 grps, arashi still has a significantly higher standing in my heart heehee!! (: but CHINEN IS DAMN CUTE, that doesnt change. and RYOPI still rocks. haha.. the best part of the news diamond party con  tt i watched was the MC. haha... they were sooo funny! for a moment there i felt my NEWS inclination creep back. then i watched the rest of it n the inclination collapsed. hur.

anw i am crazy over CRAZY MOON~ Kimi wa Muteki.. i LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE the choreo!!!!! NOBODY CAN LOCK BETTER THAN NINO!!!!!!!!!! haha..... of course im in a fit when im saying that haha.. but srsly. nino has this aura around him when he locks!! it's CRAZY!! and i dont understand HOW Riida can be so damn HOT and CUTE at the same time. HOW. HOW. and how aiba chan can have the physique of a drop dead hot model, but still be his usual adorkable self - is really beyond me. only he can handle. and I LOVE HIM FOR THAT.. hahahahhaa. :D

i screencapped pics of my fav nino locking moments, and an emo grab air moment.
heehee
 

these are screenies fr miss aniera. if im crediting wrongly let me know. but i love these 2 moments. and i tried to catch nino doing his whole solo bit. but it didnt turn out nice as a screenie. lock dance must be watched as a dance. haha..

anw it's high time i get my butt down to the hosp.
