YIPIIIIIII! toro upgraded my tickets for Jay's Concert this November!By sheer of luck and a bit dose of boringness yesterday. I checked my SISTIC page to check on how was the tickets sales for Jay's, it turned out I got quite a shock! Since suddenly all the tickets that were supposed to be SOLD out since 2 weeks ago..suddenly become AVAILABLE to PURCHASE? Toro was like WTF? called nenek in emergency consult here and there...turned out that a friend of mine just bought Jay's ticket 2 days ago which was to supposed to be sold out, but she got the best seats. so NENEK called SISTIC in Singapore..and voile...Unusual Productions just added new seats in the A23 section!!! Yep, so we refunded the old tickets, and bought the category 1 ticket and sat closer to the stage!!! Yep we are seating in section A23 Row 2!!! (below is the map, the floor Map cannot be purchase since it's premium seatings ^^)



but suddenly toro and nenek now need to save more money!Sometimes, having no car for a few weeks is somewhat blessing in disguise. Since cannot go anywhere, and cannot socialize meaning no expenses and money accumulated in Jay's FUND.Well I need to save up some money since I will be flyin in to Singapore and Hongkong in november, which is a not so good recipe for PENGOCORAN!..especially in HK, there will be that Jyanis shop that sells lots of stuffs (meaning in VCD huahaha). Today is the last month of September and need to save up lots of $$ in October (well the first 2 weeks, practically stuck at home). Heks , just remembered that I was invited to a wedding next weekend. One of my not so close friend invited me yesterday, funny thing is I didn't actually hang out with him during high school, well if Shinta is going and invited, then I'll go with her since me have no car. But if no one can gives me a ride then I just stay at home (some money on the Hung Bao)^^

last day of the month, and welcome October ^^ (crap....3 months left in 2004)I

Zhong Qiu Jie

listening to: zuo ge hao qing ren- Yan Cheng Xu

Ah!Qing Wan shi Zhong Qiu Jie, ni men yao chi yue bing ma? Ba yue shi wu zhong qiu jie, yue liang yuan yuan gua tian kong, chi yi kuai yue bing, he yi bei xiang cha. Well tonite is the moon festival? I don't know what they called it in English though, it's the day that everyone eats mooncake, or well I know them as tong jiu pia, or yeah other kinds of yue bing. It's always celebrated on the 15th of the eight month in chinese calendar which is today or well tonite, since you want to see the full moon ^^. So happy eating moon cakes ^^

Look, 5566 is releasing a new album called C'est Si Bon, it's due to release next week (October 5th according to YesAsia website). But yesterday,I saw them during yu le xin wen, they were promoting this new album (a long edition with white cover) in Xi Men Ding (it was raining). I want that CD!!! By the way, Hsu Meng Zhe has a new hair cut! It's the army style, is this hairstyle due to his filming a new ou xiang ju with Qiao En?Alas, this new CD contained some of their famous song from their last 2 albums and a couple of new song. So should I even call this C'est Si Bon album NEW? wo ye bu zi dao le. The album come with a bonus VCD containing "Ying Wei Ai" MV. This song is also included in the album along with "It's Party Time" (a song that somewhat has a similar concept with SMAP's Five Respect, 5566 sang this special song during their concert in Singapore and Taipei). Olders songs are Yi Guang Nian, Without Your Love, Zhun Zai, Wu Shuo Wei etc. Suddenly there are a lot of new CDs coming out again. Even now and then I am so tempted to buy Tension's STORY, although this album is more like best selections from their previous albums. Uhhhh uhh..after one month fasting no buying any imported CDs, now I need to get my butt over to WOM to put down my name for 5566 and Alan Luo!! (and to top it all, I have no means of transportation to get there!!!) just NICE eh!

Eh yesterday also, nenek sms-ing me about this cute guy she saw hosting Yu LE Xin Wen along with Lu Min Jun.

*beep*
nenek de sms: ai ya toro, siapa cowo ganteng di samping fu rong
(toro ran to wo fu mu de fang jian, alas...turned on TVBS and voila.......it was He Jun Xiang *which I already knew he is CUTE and hosting enews*)
toro de sms: TOENG popo!..ta shi mike he jun xiang a.k.a Ah Ken zai Love Contract lah!!

but thanks to nenek's sms, I caught Tension being a guest during yesterday's enews, and they did a very good acapella of their new song....ahhhhhhhhhh hen hao ting!!!...aaa and Andy hen shuai!!! . Also before Tension did the acapella, they were saying something about Elton John, like ridicule him somewhat!

Yep, last weekend, there was this big story abouth Elton John calling the Taiwan media RUDE VILE PIGS!! (Heks!!!!)..apparently Elton John arrived around midnite in Taipei Chiang Kai Sek airport, and there were lots of reporters (the usuall thing rite? that kinda thing always happened!..). And for no apparent reason, suddenly Mr Elton John was calling these reporters UDE VILE PIGS...all of them...and one of the media answered back, why don't you get out from Taiwan then?...then Mr Elton John replied....," If Taiwan full of people like you, yes I will get out from here!" I saw the news on CNN website, on the website, there was no mention Elton John was attacked by the reporteds, only swarmed (which is normal kan). So yeah, this news was all over the yu le xin wen, a lot of Taiwanese artistes made comment about that. During his concert, Elton John apologized for the taiwanese if he in any kind offended them with his rude comments! BUT HE DID NOT WANT TO APOLOGIZE TO THE TAIWAN MEDIA BY CALLING THEM PIGS SINCE THOSE PEOPLE DESERVED IT! (oro, I saw this footage ..and I am like what u idiot fat gay guy yooo!!!). Elton John dumb dumb leh!....

I am so in love with Jerry Yan's new album. I just positively love all the ballad songs! The fast and rock songs are quite oke, but please no more!and He rapped also !!!For a beginner his rapping is pretty good!But my fave songs probably Yi Gong Ce, Zuo Ge Hao Qing Ren, Wang Le Je Zi, Xiang Yao Ai Ni and most of all Gravity!!! His singing quality is so so (improved since 2 years ago though), but the songs selections are very very nice!!!!.....I listened to his album non stops and considering to buy the local version so I can read the lyrics ^^ (practice!!).. in a few days, the month of September is ending. (gagagaga oh noooooooo udah oktober lage???? zhe me kuai ne?)

*oh lookie, toro blogging twice in one week*

Oh well, it's still too early in the office, and it will be a slow day, since my parents will be out to visit the other office, so I am stuck here to supervise ^^

But yesterday after my mandarin lessons, nenek and totoro went to mangga dua to buy random things (random indeed). After lunch at ITC (yum yum a big bowl of tom yang goong with lots of seafood), went straight to the 4th floor and bought Mars (pirated ones of course! toro too cheapo to buy original stuffs!especially for VCDs!! unless it's my fave or I get the chance to meet the stars like last time!). Then going on to buy some pirated CDs, oh me finally found Jerry Yan For You CD, YAY! (good songs loh, I underestimated this guy yo! well his singing quality is still so so, but big improvement since wo shi zhen de hen ai ni). Then went to mangga dua mall to find some DVDs to erase our wu liao-ness! Toro bought lost of DVDs and CDs (uh agak ngocor neh)

DVDs I bought: The Princess Diaries 1, Le Divorce, Jersey Girl, King Arthur, Detective Conan, Mean Girls, The Classic and Windstruck

CDs I bought: Jerry Yan- For You, Harry Connick Jr- Star Turtle and Only You, OSt Hai!Qing Ai De!.

So oke lah..at least in the music department wise, now I have something to listen to lah!

about Jerry Yan-Jerry For You, voice quality still lacking but nevertheless that lacking is covered nicely by the song selections. Most of the songs are quite catchy and nice! I actually like them, and who cares about the so so vocal lah! I think this is why sometimes I'm still buying member of F4's solo albums, their voice might be not Lee Hom or Tao Ze quality, but I like their songs, catchy, and very bubble gum taiwanese pop!Well compared to 5566 or ENErgy with their good singing quality, but the problem is their songs are cover version of western or korean songs! (well Liu Xing Yu and that Vanness' song are exception). At least those F4's solo albums are original songs created for them only ^^ (heks, ampe kemaren kok toro bisa dengerin lagu..oh baby baby my baby baby wo jue bu neng bla bla...bu guan ni zai na li, wo yi ding zhao dao ni!! huahahah maiguk! NERE INGAT NGAK SEH!...dulu berbulan2 kita puter itu lagu2 efsek nonstop di kantor huahahah--> we called those times DARK AGES!)

Yesterday, watched the Princess Diaries again, I actually kinda forgot the ending and everthing and felt like watching it for the 1st time again. (it's about 3-4 years ago rite this movie?). But, I am looking forward for Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement, the DVD is out in Mangdu but still bad quality, so I kinda wait until it hits the cinema (since I am practically carless nowadays). I really want to see that movie ^^

one good news is: the Hando CPR might be done next week (HOORAAH!), I so want to go to Kino PS again, since nere yesterday reporting all the chinese mags are already here also COOL September with Yuan Chang and He Jun Xiang on the cover (oh semoga masih ada..we will see lah)

uh betapa tak enaknya tak ada boil!...well ada sih pinjaman di rumah, but the problem kan toro automatic girl ^^...cannot drive it around...so yeah pretty much schedule during this weekend..STUCK AT HOME! sebenernya bisa aja sih minta dianterin supir kemana2 tapi using gerobak..(huh kalau keliatan nere, pasti kena hujat buehekessssssss, diliat nenek aja toro udah ancur berkeping kena hujatan!apalagi nere .....*hiy apalagi kalau cipi jelek itu sampe tau hiyyyyyyyy* just the thought of it aja sudah HEN KE PA)

toro dazed & confused 15:37

NO CAR???.........ai ya zhe me ban ne?

yup that's the main problem in toro's household!!! Last weekend, then Hando CPR was involved in a car accident near Taman Mini (more like tabrakan beruntun). Front and back was smashed! Now hando is already spending this month or next month in the autobody!....And no car no car!!! The only one left is kaleng regal!! Hahaha so yep....cannot freely just go anywhere now. Since we are all still waiting for the new cars for coming in (till October)....T_T

And with the bomb aftereffects, I am practically cannot go anywhere near the malls! (my mom being super paranoid!!!). I need to go to a mall (either it's PS or PI), I need to find a birthday present for my dad (only have one week left). I want to buy him a wallet for the carkeys, hum since he's getting himself a new car huahaha...so I need to buy him some very good carkeys wallet to go along with the new car....

another bomb to toro's existence is--> NENEK'S SMS telling me that Jay Chou's concert will be held in Singapore on November 27!!! OH DARN!! well according to the plan, toro is going to Chung Guo for about 16 days and extending in Singapore for Lebaran holidays, but but oh but...suddenly my mom wants to do her check up next month instead of extending to singapore in November due to SHORTAGE OF SERVANTS AFTER LEBARAN!!apparently all my servants are planning not to go back after the holidays!!! WHICH LEAVES MY MOM IN A STATE OF EMERGENCY IN LATE NOVEMBER!....SO...if I am not going to Singapore in late november, wo bu neng li kai wo mama lah. Mei pan fa deh!....I have to wait another year me guess...oh nenek!!....well I am going to decide at end of September leh!

so boring nowadays..that I am thinking to go to Blue's concert!!!!....by the way anyone knows where to buy their tickets? (besides in Java Musikindo...mulalalala)

....Joy 2 the world ^^

I must say, I am one of the people who vote for Joy. Never th0ught that she was going to win Indonesian Idol, since I would assume people would choose Delon over over! (well so many DELONERS out there--> the term DELONERS--> Delon Fans! huahah wakakaka). Anyhow, I only started to watch Indonesia Idol (II) for the last 2 weeks. Basically I AM CURIOUS about who the heck is DELON? And so I watched....then last Friday, watched the final concerts those two held! Well needless to say which one is the talented one! Well honestly....Joy has a much better vocal quality than Delon! But then again..my friends are pretty much deloners, since they pitied him, since his coming from a very poor family (living in the smallest area of Jakarta's Chinatown, and with his mom has heart disease also--> it's all over the infotaiment I think). Well then again...if Delon is going to represent INdonesia to WORLD IDOL...AI YA>>>> NO DOUBT that Delon is pretty much OUT in the first round ^^ while Joy still can cary some name for Indonesia, no?..It's the battle between Ms Quality and Mr Symphaty!! ^^ Later on, I found out that Joy's boyfriend is ex-Bostonian, and ex-roommate of a friend of mine *not close friend*..how weird!!

.....SILVER BOX ^^

This is the infamous silver box that I received from Nenek and Nere. Oh wo hen gao gao xing xing ne!!!! mwaks mwaks.... After arriving at TOkio Joe, they shoved this silver box under my face, instead ordering the food asap, they demanded that I should open the box first ^^...(ureshiiiiii)...*flip flip*....VOILA......NGIK NGIK NGIK NGIK NGIK NGIK NGIK NGIK NGIK NGIK NGIK NGIK NGIK NGIK NGIK NGIK NGIK NGIK NGIK NGIK NGIK NGIK NGIK NGIK NGIK NGIK NGIK NGIK NGIK NGIK NGIK NGIK NGIK NGIK NGIK NGIK NGIK NGIK NGIK NGIK NGIK NGIK NGIK NGIK NGIK NGIK NGIK NGIK
....IT'S THE SMALL BUT SUPER THICK PINK BOOK OF SMAP (It's basically SMAP's 2001 PAMS Concert Phamflet)!!!!!!! with a few of tak-chan in black undies @__@ ), I was like *ngik* and *ngok* and turned to nere and nenek with dopey smile and HUAHHHHHHHHHHH WO AI NI MEN!!!!!!!!..
then then suddenly I looked back in the box, and something caught my eye!! It's a folder of something, *hum thinkin maybe this is the birthday card* BUT THEN I SAW A KIMUTAKU'S LIL PICTURE on the top left and indeed the first page was a homemade b'day card (which I found it hard to read, since the dimly lit room and the silver marks). BUT WAIT!!!!! I flipped open the folder and OH.....OH.... OH............. WHAT DID I SEE???? IT'S A COMPILATION OF TAKUYA'S KAIHOKU TAKEN FROM MYOJO..totalling of 20 HOME MADE KAIHOKU!!!! ....and toro just fainted away with happiness (0nce again hen gao gao xing xing). Nere, elo perhatikan ngak sih cewe yg duduk di sebalah gua (yg makan ama bule)ngelirik ke kita terus dengan tampang aneh since kita ckp ribut atau tepatnya toro yg histeris2 @____@....





All in all, it's a super duper fun nite for toro, nere and nenek. With 2 kalimantan rolls and one unagi special and burped burped gossip here and there...what a fun nite! hahah THANK YOU NERE AND NENEK!!! (kapan mau kepiting? hihihi)

....KAI-HO- KU

On Sunday after church, went to Plasa Indonesia Kinokuniya to pick up my KaiHoku! I wonder why the sales assistant always asks me, whether or not Kino already called me or not (of course they already called me! or else why would I be there with my stupid receipt to pick up my book? ai ya....hen pen). They sold the book for 249,000 IDR. Pretty much expensive, but I only need to pay 199,000 IDR, since I paid the down payment a month back. But at least it's much cheaper than MIP! That awful MIP sold Kaihoku for 400,000 IDR (HEKS!!! WHAT A RIP OFF!). I was looking over the book at home, when I noticed that some pictures in Kaihoku and the ones in Kaihoku Homemade are somewhat related or in sequence!!! ^_^ (so damn cute and droolworthy).....BROKE BUT HAPPY!....a very nice quarter life birthday! God gave me Takuya Kimura ^^ (thanks thanks thanks chu chu chu chu)

......Random things ^^

I have been shoping lately! Huksz.....last saturday went with the whole pack of cousins, aunties and my mom to Plasa Senayan. Did some good shopping for about 6 hours, with lunch^^. Sogo is having a sale, so got some good tops there from Vertical Club with super big discount (heheh like the brand since they have cute and pinkies tops). To make it better, hahah My mom apparently has a lot of SOGO vouchers!!!! (we both practically shopped with our vouchers....and still have so many left!!!). Yesterday went to mangga dua, found Mi Jia Le versi mangdu (only 10 episodes so far) and bought Machi 2nd OPUS (no need to buy imported CD leh), and got another pink cluth bag huahah(had 2 so far! everyone apparently giving me all these birthday presents THAT SOMEWHAT COME PINK IN COLOUR!! huahahaha I am a pink girl! and considering to buy a pink car? what u think nere? huahahah). I have less and less time online nowadays. Since my house is under major renovation, and dust is everywhere, so cannot really use the computer rite now, since the maids covered them with giant plastic (to avoid thick dust to pile up). Another matter is my dad thinking to sell "kaleng regal" and changed it to well same size kaleng, but I get the choose the color! should it be baby blue, red, pink or baby yellow? (hiohoho me just saw the baby yellow one, and KINDA CUTE). Nere kinda saw the pink version, and said Kawaii! hihihihi

tu tu tu...toro is saying pai pai..
