A weekend of fun... and torture (for Fuyuko)

Sitting here at Starbucks, I've invested RM49.80 over foods and drinks. Waiting for my mom and the others to finish their IKEA tour, Fuyuko and I wasted our precious time drinking Ice Latte and Chocolate Frap (and another cup of brewed coffee for me) plus some sandwiches and Eclaires while surfing the net. I had to bear with Fuyu-chan's ball of wrath mode cursing and spouting words of dissatisfaction over the loser-guy she's been liking for the past 3 months. Turned out that the guy had gotten together with his ex-girlfriend (and at the same time, the loser-a**hole asked her out while she's having her vacation). Seriously, if I ever meet him, he's gonna cry over swollen balls as a result for hurting her feelings. Thank God Fuyu-chan's Ares Mode did not last long.

Why am I here in the first place? I don't wanna walk in IKEA again (it's the 4th time this week) and I don't wanna be near some deadly diseases and I'm so not in the mood to make my "I don't give a f*ck face" because Fuyu-chan is here and I don't wanna make her feel uncomfortable. There is something that's been bothering me these few days and I do wanna get rid of it a.s.a.p. I've been wondering why do i bother about this so much. I wasn't taking it seriously... and now i seriously want to get rid of it.

Back to the story. Haru and I picked up Fuyu-chan on Friday nite at the airport. We were worried that she'd be lost, but thank God, she made it here safely. Hahaha... I'm glad to see her as kamboh* as usual. The trip back from the airport brought me back to the good ol' times and the CD mix that I made just before I went to pick Haru from Niji was fab. It almost made me cry. Hahaha.. And these 2 people are the most important people in my life. So I won't mind crying over petty things like this. We went for supper at Uptown later after that and
Fuyu-chan paid for it! (Arigatou!!)

Day 1: Fuyu's First Day of Indulgence

She ate A LOT. Seriously, she told me the first day was seriously bad... for her Diet.
Haha-ue cooked a lot too. We brought Fuyu-chan to The Curve and she was like OOhhh and Ahhhh.. all the way. We picked up Haha-ue's brother and he treated us Sakae Sushi. (Again.. it's the 3rd time this week) Took him to Ikea to get some stuff for his room back in Kuching. I recommended Ikea's currypuff to Fuyu-chan and she was like "I'm going here everyday just to eat those currypuffs and Ice-cream" and I went ". . . "

Day 2: IKEA again and I'm at Starbucks doing my "Hii Hii Huu" routine because. . .

I seriously need to "plant some flower". Now lepaking with Fukuzatsuna and Fuyu-chan and Haha-ue's bro at Starbucks. Haha-ue told me that now they are doing groceries shopping at Tesco. Still have to wait for an hour. I already did 40x Hii Hii Huu routine already. Fuyu-chan still frustrated over the idiot and I'm talking to myself because she's talking to herself. Got a call from Haru and she said she's at Pasar Seni. We planned to meet but I don't think we're able to. I seriously have to do some "gardening" now....

Off to the garden..

*kamboh = an act of carelessness and clumsiness plus being overexcited over nothing

Allelujah Haptism Failed Me!

I used to like Lockon Stratos because his Mobile Suit, Dynames was green (and he was kinda cute too), and his Seiyuu*, Shinichiro Miki *hah~~*. But personality wise, I love Allelujah Haptism/Hallelujah Haptism. And I love Kyrios too (his Gundam). I even have them both in my loft.

Akira's Allelujah Haptism and Kyrios

I've always like characters that has alter ego or split personality or call it whatever you want. (ehem... Onime no Kyo and Mibu Kyoshiro) AND I've always loved the bad guys.

I'm currently following the Second Season of Gundam 00 and to make things short (I have a serious headache today) I'm very very very disappointed with my fav Gundam Meister*. I miss the psycho, Hallelujah. I wish he's alive.

The picture portrays everything. Enough said....

Kinou no o-tenki wa hen deshita

I wouldn't say it's the 6th sense. Maybe it's just me.

The morning started as weird as the topic. I couldn't get out of bed. It felt like something was holding me down and i felt something grasping my legs. I fought the feeling and got up. I on the lights and the first thing i checked was whether there was any bruises on my legs. To my relief there was non. Somehow i have a feeling that it was not gonna be a good day. I looked in the mirror to trace any unusual signs. Non. Except the sign of aging.

I ignored the stupid facts about "me getting old everyday" that was playing on my mind and walked to the bathroom. What's bothering me was not only that, I still have the slightest feeling that it was not going to be a good day. And i felt like i shouldn't go to work yesterday.

I spent most of my morning doing charity* at work. Another bizarre thing that happened the day before was "the diesel water incident".... which i think was the cause of the frequent visit to the garden*. Due to this unfortunate event, I became rather... dark. (Not the usual "Kyo Mode"*) Everyone can see black clouds* above my head and I was not able to sit still in my cubicle. Only God knows how much I wanted to leave work.

Eventhough I was in the dark mode, I still talk to my colleague, Negishi* and laugh about a certain retard who we call.... Retard*. Owh.... speaking of which, this Retard is really some piece of work.

(Off topic: Henshin* to Kyo Mode)

WARNING: POTTY LANGUAGE.
This retard. I don't know whether he is human or alien or some species that are not yet discovered by the scientist. Unfortunately for us, we happened to know this.. weird a**hole.. (hito, ka mo na?*)I only met him once. I thought he is normal just like everybody else. But you know, sometimes first impression could be off. For this case it's really OFF. I can't even give him a nickname other than Retard coz it suits him best. But most of the time I call him somebody's bestfriend... definitely not mine.

It all started when Tori-san* (my kouhai*) was in a bad mood one day... (believe me... The percentage of Tori-san to be in a really bad mood is almost 90% impossible) I was wondering what happened to Tori-san coz usually he won't tell the whole world about him being angry. Finally he told me that "this person" was making him nuts. After a while, not only him, everyone else started telling me their part of the story related to Mr. Retard.
*currently listening to L'Arc~en~Ciel - Cureless (a good song for Mr. Retard. His stupidity is cureless

The junk-mail attack started. Mr. Retard started to act all superior. Like who made him GOD? He reports every little thing to everyone (related or not-related to the issue)... when i say little .. means little. One fine day, Tori-san got a good scolding from his superior. The reason: Mr. Retard stupid report. Who the f*** does he think he is? He's f***ing screwing people's life and acting all innocent. And this retard also loves to get credit from people's work. Poor Tori-san. All his hardwork has been thrown in the basket while this a**hole gets all the praise.

Negishi talked to him one day about this one issue related to work. But instead, he lectured him about religion and God and comparing knowledge to the sea... OMFG! Seriously, this guy needs a broom shoved in his ass. Negishi and I was laughing the whole day about this turn of event and Negishi also told his bestfriend about Mr. Retard. And his reply was.... damn hilarious. (The reply was being filtered and are confidential) I warned him about Mr. Retard being a... retard... hahaha.. Seriously.. his stupidity is cureless. And he loves to use weird sentences in his reporting. OI. You're not writing a fu**ing essay. Just say it loud and clear. No need to beat around the bush.

I just hope he'll come to his senses one day, but according to Tori-san, a retard is a retard and you can't help them.

(Back to original entry)

And chatting all the way with Haru-chan about Fuyuko's trip. Can't wait for Friday. I guess that's the only thing that's kinda mood-lifting.

Before I left work yesterday, my boss asked me whether I was free to be outsourced. The answer was written all over my face. Hahaha. I was talking to Negishi about it. And I told him if the question was ever raised again I'm gonna say "Pick Negishi..." I left work silently. Hahaha...

On the way back to Hana* it was raining heavily. There was this truck following me and honking all the way, flashing the high light. I freaked out and hit on the accelerator. The truck was still following and the driver drove side by side to Midou*. At first I thought something was wrong with Midou but when the driver rolled down the screen I was shocked to see him smiling and talking to me as if he knows me. It was a Hentai Jiji*. I was so freaked out that I started dialing Haru-chan's number (I know i should be calling the police or something). I told her about the freaky encounter and she told me to try to get away from him and make sure he did not follow. When i reached home I was still shaking from it. Maji kowaii yo*... But I finally managed to get a grip after watching an episode of Full Metal Alchemist*.

Seriously... Yesterday was just scary and was just bad... really bad.

the sum

It's only 10.06 am and already the 32nd yawn. I just got back from collecting a cheque for the company. Yeah, i think my boss can sense that I'm dead bored and he can see my soul is half way out of my body.

Anyway, today's mind rambling will be about my current craze, Last Alliance's album the sum. It's their latest album which was released last June.
The first single from this album was Drag On and was released on 28th November 2007 (Haha-ue no tanjoubi da!*) and it's almost a year now :D. The single is called Signal 004.

Last Alliance: Signal 004

I first heard this song in February and was given to me by Haru-chan (she usually downloads things and forgets about them). And that time I was reading SDK (short for Samurai Deeper Kyo) and there was this omake* about how Yukimura became... Yukimura. Hahahaa... The song seems to fit the situation and the story line... somehow..

Drag On by Last Alliance

Drag on has been the Song of the Year I should say. It's always in any mix CDs I burned and it became my general ringtone a couple of times. (Now it's Aiko's personalized ringtone). It also became the Theme Song for Aiko's visits to KL.

Ok. That's a drag on for Drag On. Hahah... So,the latest album the sum, consists of 12 hard rocking songs. (Sasuga Rasto Araiansu*)

Last Alliance: the sum

1. Change by 1
   
2. Proud of Scar
   
3. Mujuuryoku ONEWAY SHUTTLE
   
4. Sabaku to Gensou
   
5. Katahiza no Yogore
   
6. PERFECT GAME
   
7. Yureta Byoushin
   
8. Lonesome World
   
9. Drag On
   
10. WORLD IS MINE
    
11. Ameagari ni Graffiti
    
12. Gunjou Kurage

My favourite from this album (for now) is Sabaku to Gensou [砂漠と幻想].

This song has become the sleeping song, waking up song, going to work song, working song, after work song, lrt song and even my current ringtone. Hahaha!! Sabaku to Gensou is sung by Ryusuke Anzai (Vocalist, Guitarist) and his voice really matches the heavy run and dark ambience of the song. XD
Rate: 5/5



My second favourite (for now. hahaha) is World Is Mine.



It wasn't my favourite before. Ameagari no Graffiti[雨上がりにグラフィティ] was my second and both are sung by non other than (ehem...) my favourite Last Alliance member. Bassist and vocalist Takahiko Matsumara!~ =) I usually listen to World Is Mine when I'm down or when I have too many things to think about. It kinda lift up my mood (and I should have "the world is mine" feeling and attitute after listening to it. Hahah) I usually call it lagu semangat*.
Rate:5/5

So, if you're up to some Hard Rock/Post Punk music I highly recommend Last Alliance's the sum. But I'm sure I'll revert to Hurry XMas* mode when December comes. Hehehe.

*Haha-ue no tanjoubi da! = Mom's birthday
*omake = extra
* Sasuga Rasto Araiansu = As expected from Last Alliance
*Hurry Xmas = A single from L'Arc~en~Ciel
*lagu Semangat = songs that uplift your mood

A joint

It's rather unusual when one's invited to do a mind gathering. As for me, I'd think of it as interesting rather than thinking of it as something useless. Would something as random as my thoughts be useful to others? Maybe no but sometimes, it might. Yesterday, I was invited by Chrys to do what we call "mind-gathering", throwing random thoughts in a bucket and talk about everything and nothing. She said we should do a join-blog.

I think it is kinda interesting. Though i neither have the time nor the idea of what to write, sometimes composing random entries gives me freedom to roam free in my train of thoughts. Things that I've never thought to cross my mind, things I see and things I listen to, are rather nice to be shared with others than to be kept to myself. Someone who is as ignorant as a rock in the sun and as stoic as a black painting do have certain feelings that can't be expressed and usually are not shown on the surface. Deep inside, they do want to be heard.
