the most beautiful lie in the world
slaving away for the finals for the past few days! so tiring. okay i lie it's not really slaving away if i still find time to watch random shows and um, play pokemon. yes i'm revisiting my childhood and you can't say it's before i'm halfway through my first because my first childhood is definitively over. ):
anyway i really only wanted to share this because i think it's very cute but i doubt anyone would agree. and since i think it's been a while since my last fangirl post...
makes me happy every time i watch it.

i didn't know at that time
i wish i'd been able to find one with english lyrics, but i guess japanese will have to do. choice lyrics are translated (poorly) into english because i love the way the lyrics were written. give it a listen if you've got the time, and you should find the time to because it is a really nice song. do it so when zombies overrun the world and you're about to be eaten alive you can feel happy that you were able to hear this song at least once.
by the way, hyun bin in the movie looks awesome as usual. so you've got both visual and aural goodness in one single video. how's that for multi-tasking and making the most of your time? wish the movie would be screened here as well, but i shouldn't get my hopes up for that. should just wait for the dvd to hit stores and maybe buy it online or something.
lyrics:
그때는 정말 몰랐어요
あの時は 本当にわからなかった
at that time i really did not know
우리 두 사람 참 아름다웠죠
僕たち二人 本当に美しかったんだね
the two of us were so beautiful
찬바람이 불면
冷たい風が吹くと
when the cold wind blows
그대 더 그리워 지네요
あなたがより恋しくなるよ
i miss you even more
겨울이 추운걸
冬が寒いことを
the coldness of winter
그 땐 몰랐어요
あの時は知らなかったんだ
i didn't know at that time
...
(not sure how to translate this bit line by line because it doesn't seem like it would make sense)
내주머니에 항상 있던 작은 그대의 찬손은이젠 뒤져봐도 없어요
僕のポケットにいつもあった小さいあなたの冷たい手は今ではくまなく探してもないんだね
no matter how i search for it your small cold hand that was always in my pocket isn't there
(why does it sound so morbid after i translate it -_- it's supposed to sound romantic -- you know how in dramas the guy always takes the girl's hand and puts it in his pocket so she isn't cold anymore -- that's what it's supposed to be and not some crazy serial killer with a fetish for hands)
...
가지말아요 날 버리지 말아요
行かないで 私を捨ててないでください
please don't go please don't abandon me
---
sounds awfully cheesy in english (probably just my bad translation) but in both japanese and korean it sounds beautiful.
while i'm at it i might as well include wheesung's new song too. (: makes me happy to have good music at least.

though you're far away
funny how so many christmas songs are about white christmases, when that doesn't happen for so many of us around the world. or perhaps it's not so funny after all, since the whole holiday originated from that part of the world. still i guess it'd be nice to have a white christmas at least once. we were so close to having that in europe last year, but we ended up spending it on the train to paris if i'm not wrong. perhaps if the exchange to japan really goes through i might stand a chance of seeing one next year? if the exchange goes through, that is. i'm getting kind of jittery that they have yet to send me dates for the submission of documents. i suppose i should just get all of it done first, but the testimonials part is holding me back. i've never liked having to submit testimonials. adding to that is the fact that i have done absolutely nothing in my year and a half of university besides studying. and i don't have tutors/lecturers in mind who would be able to write convincing testimonials for me. i've been told that these documents are really just a formality, but even then it would be good to have a decent testimonial.
speaking of white christmases, kim joo won's house in secret garden is unbelievably and ridiculously beautiful. especially when it snows. everything seems like it came right out of a fairytale. it's the kind of scenery you could stare at for hours and hours, hoping to imprint it in your memory but failing so woefully because you could never capture every detail minutely enough to make yourself remember exactly how it felt like seeing it then and there right before your eyes. which doesn't make sense because i obviously haven't seen that actual scenery, but it seems like it would be that kind of scenery to me. i would put up a screen capture of it but i haven't found one that perfectly shows its beauty yet. you'd need a video to show that because fitting with his chaebol character it's also as ridiculously huge as it is beautiful. -_-
if i were a sim, that'd be my lifetime wish. to own so lovely a house i wouldn't want to leave it much. i'd fill it with a library of books and dramas and stay in all day. but i'd never find one here in singapore. here's much too rushed a place.
anyway there are way too many dramas called secret garden. there's another older korean drama, a taiwanese drama and now a new local one coming up on channel u. they really need to be more imaginative with their titles. oh but the channel u drama has tender huang anyway. you know, the one i mentioned in an earlier blog post some where.
and ouch my eye hurts i think i might have sore eye or something. my left eye is now so swollen it's half the size of my right eye. and it's completely bloodshot. and it twinges when i stare at something for too long. and the smoke from the family bbq we had earlier today doesn't help at all either. great timing anyway, murphy. you really know how to upset plans.
oh and here's wheesung's remake of michael jackson's you are not alone. i'm not a michael jackson fan, so i'm sure this is a biased fan speaking but i think i prefer wheesung's version. although he's more well-known for his r&b tracks i've always preferred his ballads and his softer songs. okay maybe softer is not the word. it's just the quality of his voice in the song. anyway i just thought it made for a good christmas song even though it's not directly related to christmas. merry christmas, whoever's reading this! (:

all by myself out of sight.
i feel like such a retard.
"author's note: the following is a work of fiction. any resemblance to persons living or dead is purely coincidental.
tune out the world ; 10:27 PM
me: "oh i wanted to go check if assassin's creed 2 is out already they said it's coming out november 20th" *rambles on about singapore being slow*
sam: "... it's not even november yet."
me: "oh."
i am such a retard.
on the plus side, i had a nice time with sam today! be jealous rab. we caught (500) days of summer and it was so funny at the start. after we got settled in (somebody took our seat again why does this always happen -_- but she was nice and moved away after that) this couple came in and sat in the row in front of us. and the same thing happened like the last time with sniper, except this time we were luckier because the cinema was pretty empty. so we moved, to get away from the big head. five minutes later, the big head moved again, so he was in front of sam this time. hahaha i couldn't stop laughing for a full minute after that. so we shifted back to our original seats.
anyway i guess the movie was pretty enjoyable. but i went in thinking about estrina's saying that everyone would be able to relate to a character in the movie, so i spent half the movie trying to find that character. i don't think there's any particular one in there, though. sam says it's because i've never been caught in that kind of situation. but i went back to read estrina's post and i really hope i don't relate to summer, because sam and i both agreed that summer is a total douchebag. if i were nice to myself i'd say tom's the closest. just the first bit though, about believing that you'd never be truly happy until you find the one for you, because i'm a sappy romantic at heart.
oh but i loved the opening disclaimer.
"author's note: the following is a work of fiction. any resemblance to persons living or dead is purely coincidental.
especially you jenny beckman.
bitch."
anyway i was just wondering how sad it'd be if the one for you didn't think you were the one for him/her. throughout the movie and all of tom's exclamations that summer was the one for him i kept thinking about that. it's not just the one you think is the one for you, if you get what i mean. it's the one who's truly for you. what if he never thinks so? and your having known him at all would mean you spend the rest of your life in regret because you know you can never be as happy as you could have been with him.
oh well you have hits and you have misses i guess.
after the movie sam and i walked around before going into starbucks. and i saw the perfect tumbler! it's really pretty. it's transparent, and has snowflakes printed on the outside. inside the tumbler there's this tiny white rabbit on the bottom. i wanted to find a picture of it online but i couldn't, so if you want to see it go to a starbucks! alternatively you can look at my horrible drawing of it. i swear, it's about a thousand times prettier. and the bunny looks less miserable. and doesn't need labelling for people to tell it is a bunny.
it's a christmas limited edition tumbler, and i really want to get it but my mum refuses to let me get it. partly because i lost my previous starbucks tumbler and partly because of horrible shell's giveaway a while ago. after i told her about the tumbler she didn't say a word and went behind to the storeroom from which she emerged after a minute carrying like eight huge ugly tumblers. then she poured them onto the floor and said that's why i can't get the tumbler.
*sulks*
anyway sorry for being such a fangirl, but with every performance i watch and every time i repeat the song wheesung's trickling just keeps on growing on me. and every time i listen to it i find something new to like. it's strange, because usually with a song i find a particular part which i like a lot, so every time i listen to the song i wait for that particular portion of the song and listen extra closely. with trickling it's entirely different, the entire song makes me listen closely. actually it's pretty much the same with a number of wheesung's new songs. that's how good they are. i wish people would look past his appearance to actually listen to him singing. not that he looks bad or anything. he's really good-looking. and he has the kind of looks that grow on you so you'll never get tired of it. and he's an amazing performer. his stage presence is honestly amazing. he's the only person you look at even when he has a plethora of back-up dancers and all. okay i might be biased.
sometimes i hate being such an obsessive fangirl.
oh by the way, my phone died on me and i've lost all my contacts. so if you want me to talk to you (okay now nobody is going to respond to this haha!) please sms me so i get your number again.

saved my heart.
500 days of summer summer summer with sam tomorrow after japanese ends at 1! hopefully i make it to plaza sing in time for the 2pm show or we're going to not be able to watch it since there're only two shows tomorrow.
tune out the world ; 10:44 PM
i don't really know why i'm blogging because i don't think i have anything to blog about. but every time i say that i end up typing out quite a long post anyway.
oh and i'm upset that promotions for vocolate are so quiet. i don't understand why wheesung doesn't seem to be promoting much. maybe it's because he's busy with his english album, but i'd be happier to see him on more shows and all. my sister says he's probably rushing everything out before he enlists in the army )): oh man now i understand how people with boyfriends in ns feel. okay i guess it's not quite the same since it's pretty much a one-way thing but it's a fangirl thing! honestly it feels painful even though that seems like i'm over-dramatising everything and being a pain.
oh well. anyway i'm so happy i survived last week. right now there's only the japanese studies project and the last new media project to deal with, and then before you know it it's finals already. the semester really flew by because it doesn't seem as if everything's quite settled in yet, and it's already near the end. i'm going to miss quite a lot of this semester i think.
oh and i feel like a stalker all over again haha! seriously i think it's scary how much you can find on facebook. people should totally hire me to dig up stuff on other people.
right. i'm going to go and look and see if assassin's creed 2 is available yet and buy it tomorrow if it is. initially i wanted to wait till the holidays to get it, but if i'm going to work during those fifteen days before i leave then i'm not going to have much time. plus i want to go and see those places in the game for real. for some strange reason for the first assassin's creed i never thought those buildings were real. so when i saw this really familiar-looking building on some discovery channel/history channel documentary i was literally like "hang on that building looks so familiar... OMG I TOTALLY CLIMBED TO THE TOP AND LEAP-OF-FAITH-ED FROM IT IN AC". and since there'll be places like venice and all in assassin's creed 2 i'm going to go see if i can find them in real life because it'll be awesomely cool.
okay i'll stop being a nerd.
oh wait i forgot about borderlands and the 87 bazillion guns sigh. so that's borderlands, assassin's creed 2 and l4d 2 to get. borderlands has 4 player co-op! an if peiyen gets xbox live imagine the possibilities hehe. okay maybe i shouldn't imagine them because i get the feeling nobody's going to want to come to my house because it apparently is really hard to get here. but the other alternative is hougang!! how is that more convenient?! it's still full of fields. okay, so it has a random interchange. and a shopping centre. and an mrt station. BUT IT HAS FIELDS. LOTS OF THEM. tanah merah has an mrt station. and will have a shopping centre soon. and there's good food outside just five minutes away. pfft. it's okay i'm sure sam will come to my house, right sam?
sheesh and i still have to get the trip details done i hate planning for trips. has anyone been to europe can you tell me what's good to go to? but it's so difficult to plan because everyone has different places they want to go to. i'm pretty sure my mum wouldn't relish going through the catacombs but both of my sisters will like it. and it's not like i had a very good time planning the osaka/kyoto trip either my mum grumbled at me for like an entire year after that about how it wasn't a fun trip at all. helloooooo, you said we shouldn't go to universal studios and all so i had to make do with other touristy attractions right. it's not my fault they were all temples since kyoto's famed for its temples. -_-
hehe maybe i should make the europe trip a homage to assassin's creed and visit all the places featured in it. that'll probably make me exempted from planning all future trips till about 2025, which pretty much suits me just fine.
okay i will stop being an ass.
haha so many things i have to stop being/having.

yes i do.

i think i'm a total failure at group work. which is why i do best in projects which are either individual or if i'm in a group that lets me do what i want.
the irony of it all, when people i detest most are those who are just like me.
anyway i am glad it's the weekend. need to get a present for my dad's birthday, and i have a ton of assignments to catch up on.
oh, and wheesung's new songs really do have nice lyrics. i'm glad they didn't disappoint! makes me all the more motivated to learn korean soon. i will study it myself during the holidays and maybe take korean in school after i'm more settled and all. seriously, at the rate i'm going, i might as well go be a tour guide or some translator in future. -___-

i know i'm being a total fangirl, but my heart literally leaps when i hear wheesung sing (stop with the wheesing jokes you yvon of the yukon). or even when he's just talking, because his voice is so amazingly soft and gentle in speech but when he sings it's so powerful. no matter how upset i feel listening to his songs always, always makes me feel so much better afterwards. it's really strange how affected i am by his songs. even edison chen didn't feel the same for me, and you know how crazy i am over edison. he is seriously the most amazing singer i have ever known.
i was watching his comeback stage on kbs's music bank, and he sounds exactly the same as in the recorded track when he's singing live. that's how good his voice is. please let hmv bring the cd in i want to hold it in my hands haha.
why do i not understand korean ):

thank you.
i've only heard three tracks so far from vocolate and already it sounds amazing. i cannot wait to get the album! maybe i'll just go ahead and order it online because i really don't want to wait till it finally comes to singapore. i'll go check with hmv first i guess.
it's really amazing!! and wheesung will have his comeback stage tomorrow on music bank. i sure hope someone uploads it soon. i'll stay glued to my tv in the meantime and see if i can catch the delayed airing of the show on cable.
ahh. i love love love wheesung's new album. today is one of the happiest days i've had this year. it's kind of sad and funny at the same time don't you think haha. okay i'm going to go listen to them again. and again. and again.

if you follow the wrong star
wheesung's going to have his american debut after his 6th album is released in october! and ne-yo will be helping to write the songs on his debut album. plus ne-yo will be featured in a song that was supposed to have been part of michael jackson's album. tell me how much better can it get. i'm so happy for him. and i've always thought wheesung was something like korea's ne-yo so it's really amazing that they're going to work together. but there's going to be a lot of pressure on him to make this album a good one because fans like me will be anticipating it so much.
i'm really happy even though english is slowly but surely killing me.
okay i doubt anyone really wanted to know about that haha. alright back to english!! i can't believe today is friday already. i am really not looking forward to going back to school, considering how horribly unprepared i am. but time moving so quickly also means that the date for wheesung's 6th album release draws closer and closer.

i liked that your voice was so close.
i don't want the holidays to end so fast!! it's kind of hard to imagine school starting soon. i like being in this state of having the time to do whatever i want to do, and i really don't relish the thought of having to go back to being a slave of education again.
and next week seems like a bad week already because i have driving lessons and random things to do at nus that require me to be there for four days in a row from monday to thursday. i have no idea why but apparently i'm required to go for a japanese language placement test even though i'm quite sure i won't be able to be exempted for the first level module anyway. so embarrassing, going for the test and still not being exempted. and there are the fass briefings on monday and tuesday, and registration on wednesday and i also have to book my medical checkup on one of those days because i don't want to go all the way down to nus on another day just to get the checkup done. why is there so much to do??
went out today with my sister. and i got my second wheesung cd! which happens to be his third album, and it sounds okay. i think i prefer the songs in the more recent cds though. but it's still a pretty good album, in the sense that you can sit through the entire thing without wanting to skip to the next song.
thank goodness for hmv and their always stocking cds you'd never find elsewhere. even if it's at exorbitant prices grumble grumble.
after that we met the rest of the family at plaza sing's manhattan fish market for dinner. my treat! but i don't think my parents enjoyed the dinner particularly much. they would probably have been happier with a zhi char dinner even if it was at a random food centre. but i wanted to treat them to something nice! and not something we would eat on any other day anyway. oh well. i'm still awfully bloated from dinner anyway it's almost overly filling. but the food's honestly quite good.
random pictures of the family. and no pictures of food, unfortunately, because i was starving and wolfed everything down before even thinking to take a picture. just imagine fish. because that's all it was. very good fish.

you were the first.
i think, if i were to sum up my entire person in three words they'd be "eager to please". it explains why i'm always so affected by criticisms or when i get rebuffed in the slightest. i don't get all breakdown-and-cry kind of affected, but i end up thinking about it over and over again for the next week at least. i don't like the feeling of having someone upset with me, or having someone around me upset for that matter, because for the former i obviously want to make others happy and for the latter it makes me feel lacking when i can't do anything to help that person.
and sometimes i feel it'd feel so much better if people were just angry instead of disappointed. simply the use of that word makes you feel bad already, for letting that person down in the first place.
anyway, i was so preoccupied thinking about things that i did so many silly mistakes today. first i scanned the wrong item for a customer and ended up having to top up for him. then when i went for my break i dropped my phone into a bowl of laksa. now my phone smells of prawn. and lanvin's eclat, because i tried to mask the smell by swiping my phone with a cotton wool of eclat. it just smells weird now really. but much better than right after it took that swim! and it was so embarassing, because the guy behind me gasped so loudly and said "oh my god" while the stall auntie was all "wah, why you like that?!" in chinese. so much for taking particular care for this phone huh.
i must learn to focus on things i'm doing at the moment.
ikea lunch with wynne and rab in about 12 hours. rab the quarantined is now rab the unquarantined! haven't seen her for so long. not that i'm looking forward to it. honest! why would i look forward to seeing my arch-enemy rab.
anyway, for lydia again! http://community.livejournal.com/spreehouse/3586747.html#cutid1 and i hope your swollen gum is better now! take care, and don't be upset if you are. or maybe i'm thinking too much. see you maybe tomorrow, or on thursday! (:

blue springs and white winters.
hmv lies! they told me last week that they'd have wheesung's 4th album in stock next week, which is this week but i've been there three times since and they still don't have it yet. i technically don't really need the actual cd, but i feel bad for (how do i put this in a way that doesn't legally implicate me) not having the cd. okay so that doesn't really make much sense. never mind! i just want to get the cd as soon as possible. and maybe i'll just go ahead and get the rest of his albums too then. might as well have a complete collection. i think his 6th album will be out in september. hopefully i won't have squandered all of my pay by then.
went out for lunch with wynne, lydia and estrina yesterday! we had a very nice lunch at ajisen. i don't really know why everyone complains about ajisen ramen being very bad and not authentic. it tastes quite alright to me! then again i'm not very picky about food when i'm hungry. and it was a very late lunch, so i was probably too hungry to tell whether the food was good or not. sadly we didn't get to meet up for very long at all, because wynne had to go off early for her mum's birthday dinner, and i needed to get food and go home for dinner. in the end we only had time to eat and walk around a little before wynne and i left. next time we'll go out longer! it was really funny anyway, because wynne was remarking how estrina's life was very dramatic and even though it'd only been a short while since we last met so many things had happened to her already. and wynne's mango stories. haha!
sigh i've been reading and re-reading all the module bidding and requirements for fass the past two days but i still don't really understand it. it's very complicated and confusing. hopefully the orientation talks on 27th and 28th clear things up. i want to learn both japanese and korean in uni! is that even possible?
hehe i have spent the entire day watching movies and random videos in between doing chores. i feel like such a hermit, but at least i've finally cleared stuff off my to-watch list! too bad i was also downloading toma videos in the background, so now i've got about seven new videos to watch. i'll leave those for my next off day i suppose.
eew an ant just crawled into the spaces between my keyboard keys and i can't get it out. now i have to watch what i type or there'll be squashed ant underneath my keyboard keys which is frankly just disgusting.

went out for lunch with wynne, lydia and estrina yesterday! we had a very nice lunch at ajisen. i don't really know why everyone complains about ajisen ramen being very bad and not authentic. it tastes quite alright to me! then again i'm not very picky about food when i'm hungry. and it was a very late lunch, so i was probably too hungry to tell whether the food was good or not. sadly we didn't get to meet up for very long at all, because wynne had to go off early for her mum's birthday dinner, and i needed to get food and go home for dinner. in the end we only had time to eat and walk around a little before wynne and i left. next time we'll go out longer! it was really funny anyway, because wynne was remarking how estrina's life was very dramatic and even though it'd only been a short while since we last met so many things had happened to her already. and wynne's mango stories. haha!
sigh i've been reading and re-reading all the module bidding and requirements for fass the past two days but i still don't really understand it. it's very complicated and confusing. hopefully the orientation talks on 27th and 28th clear things up. i want to learn both japanese and korean in uni! is that even possible?
hehe i have spent the entire day watching movies and random videos in between doing chores. i feel like such a hermit, but at least i've finally cleared stuff off my to-watch list! too bad i was also downloading toma videos in the background, so now i've got about seven new videos to watch. i'll leave those for my next off day i suppose.
eew an ant just crawled into the spaces between my keyboard keys and i can't get it out. now i have to watch what i type or there'll be squashed ant underneath my keyboard keys which is frankly just disgusting.

beats its way into my heart.
i've got three days off from work all in a row! finally some time to do things i've been wanting to do. like spend an entire day listening to wheesung. (:
speaking of which, look at what i chanced upon in hmv at the heeren!!
i wasn't even looking for his albums already, having given up all hope of ever finding them here after combing about five different stores. and then, when i wasn't even consciously looking for them, they appeared right in front of me. and his fifth album is really good! there's this song called chaan namnyon which i'm addicted to at the moment. wheesung's voice in the song makes me remember all over again exactly why i adore him so much. listen to it!! and google the lyrics. okay no wait, i'll make it easier for you and paste it here.
i'm going back next week to get his fourth album because they were out of stock that time. his fourth album has one of my favourite songs from him, so it's a must-get! i'm still deciding whether to get his second album and his mini-album. okay basically, i'm considering whether to get all of his albums. but i feel bad for splurging so much on things i don't really need (since i'm such a pirate anyway). okay i will see if i feel rich next week when i go back there!
i'm also wondering if i should get this official bleach character book thing. saw it the other day in kinokuniya, when we went out looking for peiyen's psp and ended up kind of shopping around in orchard. but i felt bad for spending so much. sigh this is why being rich will mean nothing to me because i'll just feel bad for spending no matter how much money i have. but it's really tempting! okay okay. i will save money for wheesung's cds first. and for birthday presents. and for all the things i need to get. then, i'll get the character book. maybe i'll drag yimean to go look at it when we go out tomorrow.
... one reason why i'm so tempted to get it is the very well-drawn ichigo on the cover. i mean, look at him! doesn't the cover just scream "buy me now"? alright maybe i'm just weird, i know. i'm sure yimean and rachel will understand. (:
i think i need to create a new fangirl label for my posts. pfft.
and i totally defeated the horrible yian kut-ku in monster hunter! after about twenty tries in all. that's how annoying it was. it took me two large barrel bombs, five small barrel bombs, two flash bombs, a pitfall trap and probably about fifty slashes using a bone kris before it went down. speaking of which, my bone kris looks like renji's zanpakutou. i'll show yimean tomorrow when i meet her. and i still feel like getting the bleach psp games! but i've been spending so much... ah well.
anyway, a very random photo we took the other day when we went for the tri-aktiline training! pity estrina's missing from the photo though. i look like a dork in my specs. oh well they are geek specs anyway. i'm going to miss all of them after i quit. which will be about a month from now, or even lesser.
meeting yimean tomorrow! i haven't seen her in a long, long time. there's driving early in the morning, and then i'll meet her in the afternoon. maybe i'll drag her to watch drag me to hell with me. hehehe. that's a confusing sentence isn't it.

wheesung is love!
very tired from work!! today there were lots of things to be done. and wynne was sick, so mr tan left me all alone at suntec to shift all the stuff around. thank goodness catherine came down at 3 plus to save me. i didn't get to sit down all the way till almost 2.40 because there was so much to be done. but after all that shifting was done i think the shop looks very nice now. there was the men-u, urth and anatomical products to be moved. and the whole shelving area in front of the cashier counter was rearranged to make way for the anatomical products. and for the new tri-atikline wrinkle repair thing as well. luckily mr tan came back and helped, or i'd have been so much more exhausted. and there were still customers to be served on top of all that moving things around. the american crew shelving came today too, so all the american crew products had to be moved onto the shelving.
very random photos from work anyway.
see how pretty and colourful it looks now after all the moving-stuff-around!
lydia says this photo is very freaky.
hahaha estrina ang is very funny. (:
all of us, drawn by lydia! i refuse to put up estrina's version because she gave me Xs for eyes so i look like a dead stick figure drawn all wrong. haha!
wheesung is my current favourite obsession! ((:
okay as if you guys don't know that already. sigh his voice is so soothing and comforting to listen to. and he's actually very good-looking after a while. and he's a nice person, and he's a great dancer, and... alright i'm dissolving into fangirl goo again.
even rachel agrees with me anyway!
okay i'm off to listen to a bit more of wheesung before i go off to sleep because i'm really awfully tired.
speaking of which, hmv doesn't stock wheesung's albums! i like his songs so much i actually want to get his cds instead of just downloading them like i usually do. usually the only cds i ever get are those of edison chen's. and i'd get ikuta toma cds too if he ever produced any. i was so disappointed when i walked all the way to citylink mall's hmv during a break to look for them and couldn't find any.
okay okay i'm off.

feels like insomnia.
i'm really down for no reason other than listening too much to wheesung's narak.
... it's scary how much a song like that affects you. even if you started out feeling happy, halfway through the song you already start thinking about sad stuff. by the time the song ends, you can hardly bear to smile.
which is why i didn't include it in the new cd i'm putting together to play in the shop. customers hearing it will feel like they want to go home to cry, and the staff hearing it will become sad and unable to serve customers.
i included his other songs though, the happier ones. (:
now if i can just find the english translation of the lyrics... all i can hear from it is bits like happiness, please and love. but those words appear in so many korean songs anyway. in the meantime i'm just going to imagine the lyrics are really sad and meaningful.

eternity is ours.
wheesung's voice is crazily good... it literally gives me goosebumps, listening to his songs. and i mean that in a good way. like you feel his voice deep inside and it makes you really just want to stop what you're doing and listen. i suppose i don't make much sense, but he has seriously one of the best voices i've ever heard. not that i'm much of a music critic really. it just makes me happy listening to his songs.
today, estrina and wynne were big bullies!!
(on the phone with wynne)
est: eh wynne, tell mich about the sri lankan crabs. *passes the phone to me*
me: hello wynne! what crabs?
wynne: you know that day, mr tan made us erase all the lab series testers, he's sending them to sri lanka in exchange for sri lankan crabs.
me: o.o seriously?? that's very strange... i hope he treats us to some.
wynne: okay can i talk to estrina haha...
me: okay *passes phone to estrina*
est: *laughing* eh wynne she still don't know leh...
me: o.o don't know what?
est: the crabs are fake one la!
me: i'm not talking to you anymore!!
then estrina proceeded to telling a whole bunch of other people. my reputation as a wise, intellectual and deep person has been utterly ruined.
and there was this very funny moment today. haha! estrina was singing along to some song, and the lyrics were something like "...i'm not crazy" to which i replied "yes you are".
estrina is leaving for rome tomorrow! and i won't see her for almost two weeks! have fun in rome! bye bye estrina!
okay i'm off to be a pirate hehehe.

before tomorrow comes.
if you're someone i spend any amount of time with, you've probably heard me complain some time or another about how i see 4:44 on the clock so often. apparently, seeing that means someone's scolding/insulting you behind your back. haha i didn't know i had that many detractors! ):
on the other hand, if you see 11:11 on the clock, that means someone out there is thinking of you. now why don't i see that as often...
okay never mind, it's really just coincidence i know. like how bread always ends butter side up. it only feels like i see 4:44 a lot because i actually take special notice when i see it, and so it seems as if i see it all the time.
and i'm really crazily addicted to wheesung for some strange reason. i've had insomnia and fading star and love is delicious on repeat for the past few hours. you just don't seem to get tired of the songs, no matter how much you listen to them. and it's strange because wheesung isn't... the kind of celebrity i usually get so obsessed over. he's decent-looking, and really good at dancing, but he... just isn't the kind of guy i usually get obsessed over.
except in the mv for insomnia i guess. haha. i could watch this over and over. and i hope he fired his ex-stylist for giving him dreadlocks in his earlier years, because they didn't suit him at all! his present hairstyle makes him look much better.
... i think i go into a very random fangirl mood every once in a while.
that makes me think of what lydia said the other day, about how the people in clarks and hush puppies must think the whathewants staff are bimbos who do nothing but giggle all day long and blast music too loudly. honestly, i think that's how we appear to people on the outside. never mind. we know deep down that we're all very intellectual. (:
estrina is leaving the day after tomorrow for rome!! ): i'm going to enjoy working with her tomorrow, because i won't meet her all the way until next month after tomorrow.
okay i will go sleep so i won't be a zombie tomorrow.
oh and i passed my final theory test!!
