And of course with Energy is also coming to town! another OH NO SYET FUK!!! (money zhai jien ).And also just got Nip/Tuck the complete 1st season! (another pengocoran in the making!!!!)

bored bored bored to death.......

since nothing else exciting to do..so might as well start blogging about nothing. Nearing end of July, in fact this sunday is already August 1st! (how scary can that be)..Am I entering the month of the starting of my mid-life crisis! During childhood days, I would anticipate the coming of August, but nowadays it's a deadly reminder that I am getting old ( honestly sometimes, when I am scared of getting old! heks! )

I did have a nice weekend, went to GG for kepiting with SBO (yes I know!! huahaha, nere SBO asked me to have lunch with him, only 2 of us...!!hahah I was thinking GOSSIP TIME!). turned out just talked about things, his upcoming nuptial (which is still 300days away!), caught up with a few things from his life and my life! Nothing special!..but for the weekend, Sylwin was here for a brief holiday, so went out with her for dinner and on Tuesday took her to Plasa Indo and Plasa Senayan to her favourite stores! hahah She always loves XML (and so do I) and Body&Soul. From both stores, she ended up buying something of course (setelah diracuni toro huahaha). But always fun to catch up with Syl, since last time we didn't have much time due to her wedding. But she's coming again next week for her wedding dinner in Shang Palace (urghh.need to find a cocktail dress for this urgh urgh. ) But mostly nothing much happening, pretty much bored! and I hate to say this (irini will say: I am having the "hollywood marriage style" CLBK), but I am thinking to change my layout again to Kimura Takuya *arhhhhgghh*..and I kinda stopped listening Energy too. FYI: they are coming next month, but we will need to buy the super f***ing expensice package of Mi Jia Le (will roughly estimate around Rp300rb sthing!)! But I would probably buy it anyway, I might not be chasing them around, but I definitely want to see Ah Di again (suddenly his short locks intrigue me!)...

for EG lovers, the latest Holiday Magazine has Energy on the cover. It's only 44rb,you got 4 magazines, one of them has Karen Mok on the cover. You can find them in Kino PS (as usual). and on Tuesday I finally put a special order of KAI-HO-KU by Kimura Takuya (YES! nere, I finally put the order in Kino PI, since PS don't take orders yet!). Just hoping it's still available in Japan, so I would probably get the book in 1-2 months (darn! pengocoran!)...but August will be the month of pengocoran! WHY?..well let's see ENERGY is COMING, and another artistes that might come are: Ambrose Hsu and Joelle Lu for promoting Liang Nu Lang (tentative)...Ambrose Hsu coming to Jakarta--> oh TORO will definitely be there lah!

There's nothing to watch on TV, well I should start watching all those dorama boxsets I bought in KL. Rite now, am tryin' to watch GIFT (old dorama with Kimutaku in it, and kinda bor ing), finishing Buffy season 2 (lots of Angel yum yum) and have been reading Kleypas's books (already finished 3 paperback in one week! nenek, I need MORE please!).

Hum Jay's new album, Qi Li Xiang, is out on August 3rd. Still haven't decide wheter I want to pre-order it or not! Maybe I will wait a bit later. Since I cannot watch V Channel, so no idea about his new MV etc. Since last year I bought Jay's album because watching the MV and the song was super great ^_^ (actually I collected all Jay's album, only one version! and also have his The One concert)....I need to cut down my CD buying pattern!....

bored bored.....

listenin' to: Wo Yi Qi Zhou Ba- Xiao Zhu vs Energy
watchin: CSI season 2

Yes, I am wondering about that question! How long this "CLBK" will last? (footnote: CLBK= cinta lama bersemi kembali). I was intending to do this new layout for Takuya Kimura, then changed it last minute due some incoming joygams from ENERGY!Strangely enought, 2 night ago I was watching Love Generation the final episode. I borrowed Love Generation from "someone" apparently it was probably played too may times that it's kinda scratcy at the last episode and gone dead for the last 20 minutes! So Finally finished up my Love Generation, and in th emiddle of Teppei proposing to Riko, *ehem* I got this stupid sill grin all over my face just seeing Kimutaku (and imagining him proposing to a lil cute chincila), but seriously...Takuya Effect it STRONG!....I can take a loot at Energy or 5566 and having joygasm too, but different feeling, like they don't turn me on that much? *OH SO HENTAI BOOOO SO JIJIK LEH* But honesly..seeing Kimutaku in one of the SMAP concerts doing some shake ur bon bon thingy..MAN I CAN LITERALLY EAT HIM ALIVE!!!!! --> so not healty, thank God, none of my normal friends like to read my blog! (yikes!). Now I am thinking *again* to buy that DRINK!SMAP or even the PAMS 2001 concert!Since I bought the SMAP 014 CD, and I really like all the songs, and now re-watching again properly since I'm familiar with all the songs, and always love that part about the Takuya Mama !!! and I have thought about that STUPID EXPENSIVE PINK BOOK IN MY IDOL! (slap myself!!! no no no you cannot buy that!)

Hum, should go to TA tommorow to buy birthday present for Laura. She just sms-ed her birthday present! No surprise element anymore heheh! We have been doing thing for the last 3 y ears, to speed up the process of buying the best birthday present for your best friends, all of us usually just tell the other the exact thing we want! hahahah very creative kah? atau just being lazy! hahaha! Hum, must wait for nenek on Friday to bring me the Sailor Moon vol 10 and Tenjou Tenge vol.03, and of course the new supply of "buku bokep" ....

Yesterday, I downloaded the new MV for Energy and Xiao Zhu (Luo Zhi Xiang) duet, so cool!..I like their MV. The theme is ENERGY vs Xiao Zhu, so they all divided into 2 with their own dancer and started to rap against each other! pretty cool one, I wish I can see this on Channel V, but the satelitte dish just gone dead again!!! . The good news is next week is August! meaning I finally can have ASTRO..yay and can watch Dong Feng or maybe even TVB8 or TVBS-Asia (oh cup cup chu chu mwaks..welcome back yuhu..and I asked my dad to install one set in my room, fufufufuf)...

note to sley: package is delivered, should be there tommorow or friday the latest
note to nere: mwaks mwaks mwaks GOOD LUCK in BANGKOK chuuuuuuuuu will be waiting the story IN PERSON next week >_<

KL Trip...
 
listening to: Sisqo- Thong Song
 
hahaha, must be very surpised that I actually went back and forth from one country to another just like some crazy rabbit (but lookie even Nere is not here ^0^). From early May to Boston, then back in Jakarta somewhere downthere in June, and end of June flew to Singapore for my best buddy's wedding (man,I've know this girl for like a decade now, yikes I am OLD), then back to Jakarta for Election and stayed a bit for a week or so, nursing my health again, since I got another coughing attack (I've been having this ever since that stupid asthma attack in Boston!!!). Then last weekend went to KL with my dad for the PALA, (not really holiday kan), but then went to a few places in KL to find doramas based on Sley's instruction. Sley, xie xie ni yah! wo mai hen duo vcd leh! Yep, I practically bought all Takuya's dorama boxset (Gift, Pride, Love Generation, Long Vacation, Good Luck) and one Goro's random dorama for only 8 RM (so cheap!!), and found Cosmic Rescue VCD with english sub and a couple of K-Movies VCD (funny romantic comedy lah). But KL is fine lah, fine for shopping, I still prefer Singapore for some clothing and shoes and all the cute stuffs and of course the abundant FOOD (*ehem* MOS Burger!), but GREAT for so many VCDs and DVDs! But hey, this KL trip is the last one for the time being.I do need the rest...since I cannot get rid of my flu completely like this, just keep coming back and back and back!.. One funny thing in KL that happened, at one time I was at Sungei Wang, then found this OST Mia Jia Le Zhi Wu, toro just went straight to "kebat kebit" mode, and it's only 40RM, but my dilemma, I already ordered one in WOM, then I decided no to buy, until the last night, I went to Sungei Wang again..and found CD-Rama (yiha my fave CD store from Singapore)..and lookie there in their top chart new release...SO MANY MI JIA LE OST!..grabbed one and brought it to the cashier and asked the girl whether the CD came with a bonus VCD and the girl said YES! immediately bought that OSt..now I have been listening to that OST! (review will follow). KL trip is definitely over and so is my summer vacation!
 
New Layout...
 
listening to: Hey You-Energy
 
HA! Are you waiting to find another Takuya Kimura's layout again ? Well! I DECIDED TO CHANGE THE LAYOUT COMPLETELY!..well mainly the theme!..I was thingking to have another takuya's layout again, but changed it immediately yesterday after getting my Mia Jia Le ost and reading the July PLAY. Believe me, when I said, I had an attack of Joygasm looking at the latest PLAY , what I can say is that'," darah ulat sutera cina bergejolak dengan kencang!!!!." (man what a heks statement!). So today with a new energy, I finished doing the layout with Energy as the main theme! By the way, I could't remember if in the past I ever did any layout with Energy in it!..Have I? I know I did a couple with 5566 or Lee Wei or Takuya, but Energy? (I have no recollection of that! after 13 layouts! and a once a week posting for the last 2 months!). For now, this will be the layout, I might change it again somewhere along this month (only 2 weeks left I think).
 
Buhbye Uchiwa Jambul
 
listening to: Ride With Me-Nelly
 
what a weird combinanation of songs, eh! from you have butt like what what..all night long let me see the thonggggg th th thong. thong to Hey You (that's the menu from the Mi Jia Le OST). What the heck is a Jambul UCHIWA? It's actually a takuya kimura's uchiwa from 1999 Birdman! which has a green background and some weird hairstyle (with some jambul!!!), although in the concert itself he was CURLY HAIR! But I saw this uchiwa in MISe early July while I was visiting Singapore. I asked MISE if they had other backissue uchiwas, but apparently they only have that Jambul Uchiwa left! so I was hesitating whether to buy it or not! after all it;s 27 Bucks! I consulted nere back and forth and it took me 3 days just to ponder whether to buy it or not!..Oh finally I decided to buy on the last day, a few hours before I was leaving Singapore....and darn just an hour before I was supposed to leave the hotel I was planning to run across to mise to grap that Jambul! oh but IT WAS RAINING HARD!..no umbrellas..and cannot risk running around with a new uchiwa with that kind of rain!..so I was taking that as a sign from God, not to buy it, since I think too much on it! But then I think, might as well as nere to get it for me, so I did ask nere to get it if it's still there!...oh but apparently the uchiwa is GONE! OH WELL....it's not meant to be!..since it;s not one of the best UCHIWA (the jambul thing that made me think twice!!)....so buh bye to that uchiwa
 
Wedding...Smweddings....oh...
 
listen to: some spooky music from Mi Jia Le
 
yes....I've been throught 2 weddings this July. The first one in Singapore (Sylwin and Keith's wedding) and another one is actually Bu Pepe's cousin who is happen to be my best friend too (laura and Acin's wedding). Both weddings were great, got teary eyes too! Man I am a sucker at church weddings (always got so touched during the ceremony! especially the wedding vows!). And believe me, I am going to another wedding in early August, it's for Sylwin's Indo wedding ^0^, in which she already invited me again. This year and next year will be full of weddings! I think I already written some highlight from the Singapore wedding right?Then I will tell a bit of Laura's wedding. I went to her chuch ceremony, which I think I was the only one there and along with lau's best friend since elementary school. and of course I met Bu Pep and also met her again during the wedding reception at Crowne Plaza (we had goofy pictures)...yup we had a little gathering: with TNP finally united! hahah (toto,nene,pepe--> three rangers hahaha) ,maybe I will post the picture later tonite! ( will try if I am not too lazy). oh these weddings just reminding me how old I am going to get next month (oh, and nere will start reminding me again kah? I'm already having these quarterlife crisis, mind you!)
 
Mi Jia Le Zhi Wu OST-Energy Review
 
listening to: Yi Qi Zhou Ba- Energy+Xiao Zhu (SHOW)
 
This album is an original soundtrack for the Enery's new drama called Mi Jia Le Zhi Wu (Michael the Archangel's Dance). Would you consider this as their 5th album maybe? Hum, nope I don't think so, despite they have 6 brand new songs! and with 5 out of 6 is actually NEW, it's no longer using the recycled songs approach! (much much better! go Energy). But one slow song is actually similar to this one praise and worship song, apparently the original track is called 'I can Hear the Heaven Sings", Shu Wei was singing the intro to the song with Holy...holy...holy....which just blew me away!h ahah (is this even proper?). But overall, the new songs are great, they have improment in their vocal tehniques too! (esp for Niu Nai and KunDa probably) and Ah Di is no longer all over the ballads, but now we can actually they are singing together beautifully! (especialy that song which is a cover version from a gospel song hihihihi). Besides Energy's songs, there are a couple of western songs form Sugababes to Sisqo's Thong Song (oh my so fave song from back during college days!).
 
1. Hey You!--> a really nice song, not as hardcore and noisy as Fang Shou or Wu Xie Ke Ji. But leaning towards to Tui Mo Lu and in betweend that 2 songs!..has a really nice intro, kinda spooky!
2. Yi Qi Zhou Ba--> a nice duet between Xiao Zhu and Energy! very noisy with Fang Shou style...hahah with yo te agelo te agelo...yo you say hey i say ho! But you can actully see Xiao Zhu's rapping style at the beginning, I want to say this song is somewhat has xiao zhu and energy's flavour combined together!
3. Leave Me Alone--> oke lah....typical noisy energy' s song...
4. Yi Ci Dao Zui Hao? (sorry I still cannot figure out the full title! I cannot read 2 characters from this title)--> a nice slow song, like it
5. Hei bla bla bla bla--> fast song, kinda spooky and very short one too
6. Wo bla bla Thian bla Ke Chang--> cover version from I can Hear the heavens sing!...my fave! since I really like that 4 of them singing this song!!!! two thumbs up
 
basically I would recommend this album, plus you're getting 4 postcard size with half naked Ah Di, Shu Wei, Niu Nai and Kun Da! and also a 20 minute VCD containing the making of Mi Jia Le Zhi Wu, one CF and one Hey You!MV!..so you will get a bargain (plus if you're lucky, you can get a poster too! )..not sure when this will be out in our local store, should be any days now!
 
Daily life.....
 
Finally I am settling down, no more travelling!I can actually do things now! I need to tidy up my room, already throwing some clothing away (jeans that 2 sizes too big, might as well give them to the orphanage!its still in good condition, no tearing at all!), I need a lot of spaces in my closet also, I already re-arrange some CDs and move around my magazine to my bro's room. Since he won't be coming back anytime soon until next year! (He has a job now in Boston, and processing his H-1 visa, so YAY, I think I will take over his room for the time being! ). And I have lots of DVDs to watch and not to mention a lot of VCDs and thinking to rent some wuxias too!..and now I am so addicted to CSI, i just love this show (after wathing it in the States, back then in college days, I had no interest whatsoever in this show ha ha ha). I only have a couple of episode left to watch , then I will move on to either 24 or Buffy season 1 and 2 (believe me, I never actually watched the first two seasons of Buffy ha ha).I still also have Nine Balls (hum suddenly I am interested to watch this, saw one episode with Yuang CHang looking very yummy!) and Summer (Roy Qiu and Rainie Yang).
 
Just read latest PLAY mag, there are a couple ou xiang ju which are coming very soon! Some of them are: Kunda's new drama (with Lin Wei Jun, Phe Lin and Da Mao), Wo De Chong Wu Lao Gong (with Huang Zhi Wei and Joelle) and another Yuan Chang's Ai Qing Mo Jie (looks kinda cute ha ha ha)...aha also found out that Lee Wei's new drama with Duncan and Rainie Yang is starting next month! YAY!! Just hoping we get the pirated or maybe the original versions of all these new upcoming dramas!...AHA! also I am pretty much curious with this new ou xiang ju that's running in TVBS-G/Asia called "Love Contract" (Ai Qing He Yue?) with Ariel Lin (Shi Pa Sui De Jue Ding) and Mike He Jun Xiang (fufufu I love this guy! he's cute!!!! his previous drama I think also a TVBS idol drama called 7th Grade!..I just hope we can get this TVBS new dramas..hikz..I really want to to see He Jun Xiang in a drama (only saw him a couple of times hosting TVBS-Asia Yu Le Xin Wen). Lots of things coming up on the small screen, but no new album that's coming out (well, I can rule out 5566, since they only release new album once a year!), probably only Jay Chou that's releasing new album next month (pretty much that' s it!)...hiya..I have written a long one kah? I need to get back to work ^0^
