Arashi Beautiful World DVD (Regular Edition)

27 May

I spent the morning til midday watching the Arashi BW concert DVD. What a blissful, relaxing Sunday so far :)

Anyway I took some shots of my unboxed BW regular edition DVD. I was first greeted by the Disc 1 being placed with the shiny part up when I opened the box. I guess that’s because the front DVD cover is partially transparent at the top so from outside, you can see the printed part of the DVD instead.

Then you have the Disc 2 and the DVD booklet :)

The booklet for the regular edition DVD is only two page — or one page folded in half — however you’d like to see it.

There isn’t many pictures in the booklet like its LE version, however the RE has a foldout or poster! :D

Ahh, Johnny-san really knows how to make indecisive fangirls spend more, eh?

Maybe it’s just me and my expectations but there doesn’t seem to be many songs from Beautiful World album being performed.. :/ Anyhoo, I loved Nino’s solo and yayyyy, 「僕が僕のすべて」 which is one of my favorite coupling songs was finally included!! :D

FACE DOWN CDs and Beautiful World DVDs

26 May

They are finally here ;____;

RE on the left and LE on the right

In my excitement, I accidentally bought both version of the BW DVDs and also have them all shipped together when I was making the order, hence my FD singles have just finally landed here.. No worries about that though. I mean the latter.

This morning I decided to look at Face Down photo shops. Oh goodness, I shouldn’t have.. >A<; I’m off to my sewing class in a bit so hopefully the temptation to get the 50 pieces of the photos will go away when I reach home. Gosh, I really need to save up!!

The things that pretty much will eat my wallet are:

a) new mobile phone (I’m eyeing the Samsung Galaxy S3. It’s gonna be over $1,000..! D: I need to replace my slow, cheap phone which has been acting up like a brat. And if I do get that S3 phone, then I’d be breaching my belief of any mobile phone over $700 is not worth buying.. But GDI, S3 looks so foine~ :Q)

b) a sewing machine (I put aside $1,000 for this. I checked out the price online and it’s about US$250 or less, but then again when I called up the nearest reseller which was in Miri, they never have that model (yet). I want no other model so I might ask the reseller to ship in that model for me so now I’m not sure how much it would be.. :/ I NEED A SEWING MACHINE! I LOVE SEWING!! ;A;)

c) Japan trip in July (Rail pass and accommodation haven’t been booked yet. OH. MY. GOD.)

Hmm, definitely no room for FD photo shops in my wallet.

My first sewing project!

6 May

Remember me and my sewing class mentioned here?

Well I have finally completed my first sewing project today which was a buttoned blouse. It took me over two months to finish this! Ahhh, what an achievement~ :D


Next project will be a long skirt! I had so much fun (and let’s not forget the frustrations) of sewing. I think I’m in love with this hobby! Now I only need a sewing machine at home…. :)

I spent the day from 2PM to 5:30PM finishing up my blouse by hand-sewing the sleeves, button holes and buttons (I know, it took me forever! -___-).

The little devils have also kept me busy throughout the task when I found out that my thread were all over the place, and them.. >__<


zou

I’m thinking of handing the blouse to my aunt cos the material isn’t comfy.. loll.

Anyway, otsukaresama deshita to me…! xD

Arashi as of May 2012

3 May

Look who’s sporting a new hair cut..? :D

matsujun short hair

MATSUJUN WITH SHORT HAIR!!! My prayer has been answered — although I still find the other short haircut he had last year cuter.. But I haven’t seen Jun with dyed hair for quite a while~

Even Aiba-chan was mesmerised..

But by the end of the video, my eyes were still mostly focused on Ohno.. Fufufu~ <3


嵐でした~!

OK, I need to sleep.

Your Eyes

25 Apr

That’s what Johnny-san probably wants out of Arashi fangirls; our EYES. My eyes and yours. Well, not literally.. But that’s what some of us would have to sacrifice in order to have money to buy more of Arashi’s new singles.. You end up having to take these eyeballs out of the sockets, sell them on eBay or some underground black market, get the money, pay for the new Arashi CDs and wait for them to arrive. The problem would be then is, how would you be able to watch the DVD? Hahahaha. (WTF I’m talking about)

The title of this post is also the name of Arashi’s new singles! What a coincidence~ :) (oh not really

I already completed my pre-orders from CDJapan (LE and RE). Bye bye, moneyy ;___; And I just paid my credit card this morning!! Grrrrrr~

NOW WHAT ELSE DO YOU WANT FROM ME, JOHNNY-SANN?? MY LIVER? MY LUNGS!?! MY CLIPPED FINGERNAILS??!? D’:

On a random note, I’m ill now and I hate being sick. I’m thinking of taking a sick leave from work tomorrow but then there’s gonna be free lunch tomorrow and I love free food! :( I hope that I’ll feel better by the end of tonight.

I have no idea how the PV is like actually cos I’m still waiting for the PV preview vid to finish downloading.

I’m looking at the download status rn and it says it’ll take about an hour to finish. Can you believe it!??! One hour to download a 30MB video!?!?!?!?! IT’S SO SLOWWW THAT I COULD PROLLY FINISH KNITTING A FREAKIN’ SWEATERRR BEFORE THE VID DOWNLOAD IS EVEN DONE!!!

It’s gonna take me another day just to finish downloading the Mikeneko episode.. -___- And I haven’t started on Kagiheya yet. Oh, the sadness.

Alrighty, 35 minutes left for the short PV preview. Oh goodness, please give me the patience… T^T

Kagiheya drama starts next week!!! :DD

13 Apr

Watching Kagiheya previews just makes me wanna get that RayBan specs Ohno’s wearing and also write up a thorough kidnap plan of that man called Ohno Satoshi more and more.. <3 xD

Himitsu no Arashi-chan Mannequin 5 SP apparently was yesterday! I have not watched it yet and I don’t wanna see any spoilers of the episode until I have the time to download the video and watch it, which IDK when it will be… Which also means I also have to stay far faaaarrrrrrrrrrr away from Tumblr these couple of weeks because people tend to put up caps or gifs of Arashi releases so quick there ;___;

From all the mannequins that I saw last time for voting, there was one that I liked immediately although I have no idea what it’s ranked at nor whose mannequin it is now. I’m guessing it belongs to Nino or Sho but then again I remember the forth mannequin which IMO is the most disastrous one among all… and disaster is usually closely linked with Sho so I’m not sure anymore.. xD

Guess I’ll just have to wait a little bit longer til when I’m able to catch the episode~ xD

In the mean time, let me take the time to introduce my cats. LOLL.

I’m not kidding I really AM gonna talk about my cats here because I have nothing else to post about.

I remember a couple of weeks back I was trying to get Sora’s four adorable kittens to jump up the stair step.. Now they’re all practically racing up the stairs and even managed to successfully climb the cage wall of their three-storey ‘cage house’ every time!! They’re growing up too fast~ D:

Here are the babies now!

sora and babies
They’re almost as big as their mommy, and they’re not even 2-month old yet!! lol.

Three kittens look like the daddy, Kin, and one looks like Sora — except that he has yellow fur. The one that has Sora’s facial profile and fur (not fur colour though) is called Udon, in commemoration of our (us siblings) favorite noodle! xD

udon
The only one pic which I managed to capture of Udon. The rest of the pictures that I have of him are just a blur of yellow cos he was flying all over the place -__-;

Next ‘blondie’ is Mia; the only female in the bunch and also the most active. It seems like she inherited Kin’s fur coat. I couldn’t take a proper picture of Mia because unlike the others, she’s kinda scared of people so when I tried getting close to her, she scurried away T^T

mia
She was winking when I took this picture hence one eye was smaller.. xD This is the most decent one I could get of Mia T^T

Now moving on to the other set of twins! :D

zou and loki

60% of the time I can’t tell which is which because these two look so much alike at this stage! The only thing that sets them apart is one is fatter than the other. I also think there is a bit of difference with the eyes..? Then again, it’s hard to immediately see those minute dissimilarities! xD

First, we meet Zou. He is the dark-haired version of Mia and compared to the others, he’s also the biggest one.

zou

The last one is probably many of my family members and friends’ favorite kitten! He’s the brightest, the most photogenic and the friendliest, therefore automatically ranked by many as the most adorable~! xDD

loki
He is named Loki because me and my sisters LOVE the villain character called Loki from ‘Thor’ movie. Also the name is cute, so why not? xD

I’m not kidding about Loki being the most photogenic because I have tonnes of cute pictures of him. You can be the judge:

Zou, looking grumpy on the left, and Loki on the right. Look at Loki’s eyes! *A* <3

This is the first and will also be the last of Sora’s babies because I have already got Kin neutered last week. I’m not worried about spaying Sora because she hates all other cats besides Kin and her babies, loll.

Therefore to end this post, here’s a shot of Kin sleeping in his usual sleeping posture.

And the last of Kin with his face covered in dirt because he likes rubbing his face at my dad’s car tyres.. lol.

Arashi new pre-orders! :D

29 Mar

Finally, ARASHI LIVE TOUR Beautiful World DVD pre-order is opened! I’ve booked mine from CDJapan as I love their service :D I thought the BW concert DVD would never come, just like DAL tour.. :S Unfortunately, the BW concert isn’t going to be of the last day where they celebrated Sho-kun’s birthday but hope is still there because the third disc has special footage!!

“Though hope is frail, it’s hard to kill”. Man, I was just listening this song from Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey less than 24 hours ago!! Who knew the lyric in there is applicable to the current situation.. LOLL.

At the same time, there’s also Arashi’s new single coming out, “Face Down”. Okay, now that I just typed out the single title here, it somehow also just dragged down the mood of my previous paragraph about being positive.. lol. Or maybe it’s just me. Secured my order for that one too! :DD

My wallet is definitely crying because I’d be spending more cash soon as I’m planning to neuter my male cat, Kin, now that dear Sora has adorable babies. Kin is such an adorable cat really, with big dark eyes, but he sprays a lot when he’s trying to ‘mark’ his territories even in the house so I’m trying to save my sofas here from future costly cleaning costs.. T_T

Besides my wallet, my heart is also weeping rn.. Moments ago I just realized that I could not find my phone!!! My memory can’t be depended 100% but the last thing I remembered was replying to my colleague’s WhatsApp message in my sister’s car after a sushi dinner-out with my siblings. Well after the dinner, my sister dropped me and my brother at my house (the 2nd home) and the rest of them drove home to our hometown (1st home), so I assumed I left my phone in my sister’s car. I asked my brother who’s staying with me to try calling my phone to confirm that it’s not ringing in the house, so we called home to ask our sibling to check my sister’s car. Guess what? They couldn’t find it either. And it’s also not in my house so where the fuck is it???? DID I LEAVE IT AT THE SUSHI PLACE??? BUT I SWEARRR I WAS REPLYING TO MY FRIEND’S TEXT IN THE CAR AFTER DINNER!! Or did my mind tricked me and it was actually BEFORE dinner.. so there’s a chance that I did left it at the sushi place cos I also took out my phone there while waiting for our food…

OH NO!! D’:

Honestly, I don’t care much about my phone. In fact, I had to restart my phone a few times today because the wi-fi and 3g weren’t working! But it breaks my heart SO fucking much when I think about the possibility of me losing the hundreds precious pictures of my favorite people, things and cats in my phone ;___; There’s like 30% of my cat pictures in there though, lol, but they’re still precious! And I usually take pictures of any interesting happening around me so I kinda have my picture ‘diary’ in the photo gallery. And I’ve got pictures of my family too which I sometimes look at when I feel homesick… :(

There’s also my WhatsApp messages I’m worried about! So many confidential work shits being discussed in there yo :S

It’s pretty late now so I hope I can try tracking it again tomorrow? I hope I can locate it.. I really, REALLY do not want to lose all those precious pictures in the phone. And no, I do not have any nude pictures so that’s not why I’m so concerned about losing my phone. And new phone will cost me extra hundreds which I DO NOT WANT to fork out right now!!!! I need to save up :(

Such a great day overall today, then this shit happen. I hope I just misplaced my phone somewhere in my house or sister’s car. I definitely will appreciate my creaky old phone more should I were able to recover it, I promise.

xxxxx
