Thursday Night Report: A “tic tac case”

(I didn’t know I could just use this as the title…)

I decided to share this like, a week later after because I don’t even know how to start talking about it. But now I think I can. Now to give you a better idea of what I’m going to talk about first:

What you (should) know:
~ I’m running a Twitter account (visit 5th Anniversary site for link) which talks about everything I do to create Klassic Note, previously not done so because… I don’t possess a smart phone. Well this, you don’t know.
~ Furthermore, this Twitter account (@KlassicNote if you guys are lazy to find) talks recently about lyrics, because I understand parts of them, and post them occasionally on the account.

What you (may not) know and I should let you know more:
~ I’ve been listening to Audioleaf previously mentioned in Entertainment News and picked up two songs from two different bands. Yes. It’s one of them, called (which is why it’s) “tic tac case”.
~ I have heard them before. End of last year but back then there was only a short preview.
~ This band recently attended a competition hosted by Lawson (convenience store I think) “THE MUSIC MASTER” and got mentioned, which means they get their song aired on YouTube! Which means I get to hear it!
~ (More obviously) I liked their song, called “Latitude”.

So, what I did was to post the lyrics (Japanese FYI) of this band’s new song and…

(I feel like posting a pic to show you but…)

Someone replied.

It was a guy. (“Phew” is not the first thing I thought of)

I saw a Japanese name.

And on it wrote:

“tictaccase vo”

The vocals of the band??

Yes it is!

It is “the singer of tictaccase!” (<- Quote)

And “I(he) want(s) to see you(me) sometime!”

I laugh. At myself.

“Does he know what he is doing? Or what I am doing?”

I laugh again.

Yes, the vocals apparently is (the only one) following me.

It was a shocker.

Must be the first-hand (most likely only) contact with a Japanese band member.

Then I wondered, “Did I type the lyrics properly?”

And replied him that.

Recently I mentioned their song again, and he favourited it. Not to mention my worry that the whole band most likely already knows me, and this is also how (somewhat) I got my first follower. Really? I started like this? Where’s all of you guys anyway?

Slight, short, but rather exciting.

 

[P.S.: And listening to Aki-chan’s radio (which I still don’t understand 95% of it), I say good night to you. おやすみなさいね～]

[P.P.S.: I was thinking of some “affair” as a title, then I noticed that the band name made of a good title too. Oh, and checking their tweets their new album is going to be out on May! Three cheers for them!]

Tuesday Night Report: The Self-Satisfactory Job

Now that I've done the last part of the puzzle, let's talk about it.

Wonder what I did just now? It's a long story, so let's start from the top.

Just a few weeks ago that I already noticed the serious consequence (actually isn't much, just that Dad will go crazy) of NOT ending up in an institution to further my education. (yes it's that bad) (yes I know it's been two years) (yea it's my fault for not taking note of the application dates) (yes... that's all?) This has (only now) been a worry of my parents (because they actually don't really care??) and yes, I currently have nowhere to go. That the case, I ought to be doing the alternative to studying as what most would: getting a job.

(Really if you're bored because you have a job or think I'm naive please stop reading any further. You have been warned.)

So I guess I have to do something to pass the time, or I will be referred to as a "freeloader". (As if I wasn't for the past two decades) Because now it's different. I'm grown up. That means that I have to be independent, even though I'm widely sponsored. It's like being a civilian and sponsored by the government, but smaller in scale. So about work... my cousin arranged me to take over his job as a...  Technical Support Officer. If no one knows what's that, my cousin says it's just simple computer troubleshooting, or that's what he said. Little do I know until I entered a resume (with his help, thanks again) and was in that semi-formal interview did I understand the reality: I do not work everyday (like twice a week?), need to know a lot more than my own supposed knowledge, and am given a life-inspiring monologue by the boss. WTF? I told to myself, and yeah, was an ordeal for one's first interview.

And he (the boss) he is right: I would have been better finding a full time or part time job outside, I don't have the skills required, and the rest of it? Now I even think he's pitying me because my cousin reeled me in. And after that, I've been complaining to my cousin of why he actually made it sound that simple...

By now you guys would've noticed or have already noticed these few years or many years (wow thanks loyal reader) that I'm scared of facing people, more especially to strangers. Guess it sounds correct for anyone human, but my confidence level here is a little extreme. Not extremely confident, but extremely timid.

*silence*

Now that I've lost 95% of my readers (if any in the first place), let me share what I think I've done to salvage such a situation. I've sent an email to whoever's in charge to tell them I quit the probation period cum test of my abilities and decided to find another job. But how? It has not been easy. Been spending the past few nights on the internet searching for suitable jobs, and with customer service out of my league, the search has not been easy. Mostly logistics which does not require long-term commitment.

By now if you think I'm in a dead end, you are dead right. (Not to make a rhyme, but...) So how? That's what I've been asking myself. But yes, I will continue to find a job, probably the papers, because I'm not going to stay at home. No one wants me to do that anyway. For now, I'm trying, so hope it helps.

Haiz, finally got it all out. Cya guys then, until next time... if you need a job let's search for one together! Ah, the others have gone... *sob*

(P.S.: Will I ever be satisfied with a job? Stay tuned to find out...)

(P.P.S.: Now that I'm doing a post every night, why not I do it for the week? Let's see if I can keep to the promise...)

Wednesday Afternoon Report: New Year Resolutions, Again

Hello, and welcome to the year 2014. Well actually to me it’s just like entering another day. Not like I’m going to be childish enough to be counting everything I do from midnight as the first of 2014. (Audience: You actually did that??) (Kids, don’t do this at home xD) Even so, it’s time to check where we are at this point, and this page is meant for me.

Life is like a drawing board; Initially empty, and waiting to be written on, and erased, and written on again. That’s called uneasiness. Me too, I’m experiencing that right now. Looking at my bleak future and losing a direction, seems like playing over the past year has not helped much, as I’m back to square one. So, let’s get to it shall we? I have a few points here…

THE NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS
~ APoL: Chapter 11 minimum by ORD, 12 is ideal chapter to finish by then
~ Klassic Note: Keep the Twitter and page up for this year again

I guess “half-assed” was my middle name. Guess that’s why I’m still walking on the spot. Haha. (Audience: Are you insulting yourself for being useless?) Eh…

THE REAL NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS
~ Carry on my education path, wherever it stops at. Regardless of location and severity.
~ Get some skills and work till then. Hopefully this period of time would not last this long.
(More Importantly) ~ Find a direction in life. Like, in reality.

I guess that’s all. (Audience: EHHHHH???) What? (Audience: This is all? Thought you thought all night already?) Yes, but- (Audience: No buts! Write more!) EHHHHH…

*silence*

But that’s pretty much what I have to focus right now.

*silence*

(Audience: Whatever.)

Cya guys soon then. No mood for now as have to go back later tonight and also get my blood drawn next week, and I don’t trust the people in my second home, if you get what I mean. Until next time… ご機嫌で。

[P.S.: I’m finally learning how to write shorter posts. Yesh.]

[P.P.S.: I noticed looking at pictures of people looking lost also makes me lost. Look at what I’ve been looking for the past month:

You get the idea right? Komatsu Mikako is just- (Audience: Get back to reality.) はい。]

Sunday Night Report: Near Miss

dad vs package

Hi guys. It’s this weekly shit again. LOL not that I don’t like doing it, but then talking to myself and my lazy character just doesn't tally with maintaining a blog. Haha. Just joking. Let’s carry on. I start not with Entertainment News to do myself a self-reflection…

Today’s keywords shall be “FATHER” and “PACKAGE”.

FATHER
Obviously it has got to do with the old man in my family, or how do they call their father… “old geez”, in translation from plenty of Anime I see. Well… Wednesday (the one that passed) was the start of my off and leave, ie Holiday Season until next year, but also that day was the day of his checkup. And it seems that there’s a problem with blood vessels and may be serious enough to go for an operation, slated on two days ago. The bad news? I spent the whole of Friday in Changi Hospital along with my mother just to be by his side (and there he’s pointing to the lonely old man opposite his bed) and helping him whenever my mother prompted.

Yeah I wasn’t good at initiation. If you guys need more read APoL.

The good news? Nothing much happened, and no further operation was necessary, for that “operation” I was mentioning was a check to see the vessel blockage. So, it’s okay. A NEAR MISS.

PACKAGE
Fact is: I wasted 50 bucks on a calendar that never arrived. Or more specifically, I wasted money on a calendar I ordered over the Net, wasn't informed about it’s location when it arrived, and it was sent back to its sender. I called the post office and was too late as they could not do anything about it. I tracked the package in the website and it seems that… the sending back was decided on Friday morning. Yesh all these events are in the current week. (Audience: In other words…) I just missed it. I spent Thursday going around and getting my new phone, which I will explain later in Entertainment News. I could've spent the time calling and gone to the post office to claim it. But NO, I didn’t. ANOTHER NEAR MISS.

The result? I clicked the order button again on Amazon because I so loved Patrick McDonnell and his comic work. (Audience: Oh it’s Mutts…) And this time I’m not going to miss. Surefire methods will be used so that it doesn’t happen again. (Audience: And that is?) Eh…

Guess that’s all, sharing a small part of this emo person’s life to you guys. Finally got this down. Last few days didn’t even have the mood to do so. Entertainment News up next, and don’t think I forgot to complete the Klassic Note Spirit…

Saturday Night Report: The Klassic Note Spirit – 2007 and How It All Started

(*Below information is only an excerpt of the original, which would be released… sometime this year. LOL)
How it all started… I suppose it is because of the craze of Anime at that time? Like… about 6 years ago I was still a student listening to Chinese songs and oldies and watching and laughing to old shows and practically any media that appeared on the TV. At that time I’m still far from using the Internet, due to the speed limitations that prohibited the development of downloading of media. Of course there’s a start to everything and that is…
“If it is anything that started the J-Pop craze, it has got to do with Anime. And for my case, it is none other than BLEACH.” –Kaineng
… Not really. What really started may be a little further than that. Get me the calendar. It should be more about here: 2006, 7 years ago from now where the real famous Japanese were listened to in Singapore, like Koda Kumi. Yeah. And her PV surprised me, like I don’t know there was such a chic over there. And maybe it’s because of that that I started to listen to one of her songs, “Koi no Tsubomi”: (Trans: Bud of Love)

Yesh at that time I think she is cute. Now? Well…

But that said, if she started my interest in Japanese songs, then BLEACH is the boost, where I get to hear many theme songs from a variety of artists in Japan. Take it like this: If Koda Kumi’s songs was the starting fluid, then BLEACH’s theme songs are the fuel. Which means a lot to keep it going.
Here I thank BLEACH (production, especially in theme songs) staff for making it an impression for me.
“I still remember those days where I was waiting for a new episode or arc of BLEACH to be subbed and when I heard the new theme song, all the action came in to me. It was the first time I heard such an impactful and different rock song. It was the first time, I heard Ajikan. (ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION)” –Kaineng

Those were the days isn’t it? Another representation of Rock songs I hear first hand must be Sambomaster. Along with BLEACH Anime comes movies, and I was immediately hyped by their song, “Hikari no Rock” (Trans: ).
“At that time, I repeated the song umpteen times just to shout along and then weep on the last chorus. Seriously man. It’s just a song…” -Kaineng
And that is how it all started. It was abrupt, it was sudden, it may have been an orgy of new songs I have not heard in the Chinese or Western music industries, but back then it was fresh. So now you know how I started with all this music-listening. Not that it contributes to my introvert personality: That is already a story even longer ago than this…

Sunday Night Report: Reasons Why I Shouldn’t Leave Home

Recently has been hectic. The higher-ups have been giving instructions and details to the Thailand trip that I HAVE TO ATTEND for the next two weeks. Official announcement says that it starts from 17th this month to 3rd next month, so pretty much I’ll miss plenty when I come back after SEVENTEEN DAYS of staying outside homeland. What would I miss, I hear you say? Well, in a nutshell:

• Firstly, Aki-chan. Her 2nd album “Love letters” is releasing September 25th, and with a strong composing team behind her and my previous experience with her from her first album (it’s on my shelf xD) I’ll really be sad to not hear it first-hand, for I am deciding to pre-order it too. Sianz.
• Next is Kashiwagi-san, the Manga. I mentioned in the Entertainment News that their Manga 2.5 is going to be released, ie. adaptation of the love story I’ve been reading these few years. Worst thing is, it’s announcement of cast and details happen on the release of the next issue of the magazine published, which is 24th September. See what I mean? Anticipation is so going to kill me when I’m in Thailand without Internet… or not? No, not…
• SCANDAL’s new single. If you guys think I may not miss it, and I know it happens a day after I leave (the 18th), watch their first live on Music Station and you’ll get what I mean. Just praying that it comes out before release date (there have been such cases), or else… *sob*
• Anime, anime, anime. All the THREE Anime I’m currently watching ends on September PLUS next season previews and airtime all start on October, so that means I’ll get all the shock and disappoint all at once ONLY after I come back from Thailand. The hell with this trip already…
• Euro Truck Simulator 2 expansion. If you guys play this game (JFGI please) it’s a real simulation game, and looking forward for expansion content. But then been busy so not playing recently and will have to catch up when I come back liao… Sad

And these are only the few of the MANY reasons I’ll be sad if I leave my computer. Really, you guys may not get it, and the others may think I’m crazy, but I’m already sad about the trip already. How? Take it like a man lor, what else? Not like I can do anything about it. “You see, sometimes things get in your way of life, and you just have to choice but to suck it up.” –Kaineng (Audience: A~re? When did it become a quote?)

Cya guys then, until next weekend… I promise I’ll get a move on for Chapter 8 of APoL (do my best :D), and also cope with the things I need to prepare for the trip. Haiz…

Let’s get a butterfly to cheer us up, yesh?

(Audience: But this is…) Yeah, she’s Choucho. She sang for “Hyouka” Anime before. And in Japanese, her name’s ‘butterfly’. Haha. (Audience: |||…)

[P.S.: I feel feverish already… (Audience: Chance to keng now?) Hmm…]

Wednesday Night Report: Idiocy x Confidence

Hi guys. I’ll talk about Entertainment News later, and if you guys are still wondering why I haven’t done so, it is because I’m on leave until today. Yes, from the weekend…

Let me get into the mood… I walked out of the camp last Thursday morning (for many reasons) pissed and in a rather foul mood because people only know how to belittle my confidence in doing things not my style. Now I actually understand why delinquents do… what they do. Is that supposed to be the correct expression? (Audience: I think so…)

It started with this; someone standing at the door because I pissed him off saying he looks like someone missing in action. Well this is a occasional occurrence in my line of work, but then if people are offended they tend to break. And that’s the day. (You shall not know when is the day) He just stood there with his arms crossed (just like the picture, not the feet though) and asked what he wants from me in order for me not to mock him. Well maybe it’s my big mouth, and people have been standing comments till date already huh. Then all the more things should not happen to those who should not take missing in action an easy way out. That’s why I have already forgotten when I last reported sick for work.

Second is the reason I only came home on a morning, due to duties I have to perform, in my line of work. (Audience: I think all of us know what your work is already) (Haha) By snatching someone else’s position I seem to make people think that I’m a traitor to this acquaintance he has already announced that he take that position. You get it until here? (Audience: Only those in green would…) (Haha, stop dropping hints you idiots) And somehow just nabbing what one has aimed for is also not of norms as far as behaviour is concerned. That’s why now I know how others feel when they keep saying the people who did things like that. I maybe a jerk, but then people are also stubborn enough to not retreat, and takes sour grapes in front of me to slap it on my face. When’s the last time you did such an act? I merely was just returning the favour in bulk.

OK that for all, these two events I experienced… a week ago (yeah sorry for that) have taught me a good lesson, that me being originally a “good person” should not attempt any “unruly” behaviour, or else people will get off their hook and come after me. But also if I were to ever do something out of the box I know somehow there’s a person who would be there to belittle my confidence. So how? How am I, a timid person lack of courage, am to proceed from here? If not talking or doing the norm is my way of life… *calms down* May I use a quote that I reserved for APoL? (Audience: Please do.)

"I wonder if living life is actually doing everything in it and going along with it." -Kaineng

You guys get it? (Audience: To an extent, yes.) Great. Talking about APoL, I’ve been making much progress over the few day of leave, and WILL PROMISE to give you guys the first draft of the next THREE CHAPTERS during this coming weekend. Look forward to it then.

Next up: Some Entertainment News to cool down the bad mood I have just re-enacting the scene in my mind to type this post. Cya guys till then.

Monday Night Report: Entertainment News… Last Weekly

Hi guys, welcome back. If you have been visiting this page once a day or even yesterday to see if I posted anything, I’m very sorry about that, because I forgot to tell you I have a day off today, which means I’m going back tonight later. Anyways, back to what I’m here for:

ANIME
Servant x Fanservice: We finally know Hasebe is also a sick bastard out of his job with his sister, and a joke is never a joke when Chihaya jokes about her going out with Ichimiya. Seriously? Don’t see any spark between them (maybe the author also has such a relationship), but since the author chose it to be then we shall watch on. Quite a lot of adult topics compared to WORKING!!, huh…
Titans: Overwhelmed by the arrival of another titan that behaves like Eren, more likely is it going to spoil the formation of the squad that is dispatched for training than tell us what is going to happen. Well next week then, even though (through spoilers xD) I already know who it is under the titan form…
Kamisama Ai-chan: Another chapter in Ortus, where people in there reveal more of the princess being alive and why people want to migrate to such a place. “Line up people! In exchange for your death I give you your citizenship!” Sounds like a whole lot of cr*p. Next episode: What does it take to get your citizenship to a dead city-state? Looking at the princess’s naked body??

SHOWS
MythBusters is coming back soon, I think.
CrazyGod is funny as ever. They created their own version of Seven Swords, each with its own unique… piece of the comedy.

MUSIC
Been a little edgy these days in choice of songs. But then I think it’s time that took me over, especially with the late arrival of Nano-Mugen Compilation 2013 and Aso Natsuko’s single… damn why don’t it just come out so I can quickly decide on ordering the CDs! Also, I gave up on KitaEri’s new single. The B-side, after listening to it many times, somewhat is similar to Yocchan’s song from her first single. Sorry Eri-chan, you’re just that tad bit late… Also given chances to mellow songs from Ikimono’s latest album, since… there aren’t many I can find nowadays, when my mood is not high…

I guess that’s all. I need to prepare some stuff so I can happily do my duty on Wednesday night whilst everyone enjoys their four-day holiday weekend plus block leave. Dammit. Why must it start only on a Thursday morning? Haiz. Cya guys then, until next time… you guys saw Ayachi’s new photobook? Here’s a spoiler:

*nosebleed* Just remind me not to post this another time, even though I may have the urge to do so…

[P.S.: (wipes nosebleed) Also I have made plans to order things once again, this time from Amazon.com, whereas CDJapan is what I wrote above, dependent on listening of Aso Natsuko’s latest single. She better be quick; SCANDAL’s singles are on sale and I don’t want to miss the ordering…]

Wednesday Night Report: I Wanna Go To A Place… with Happiness

I make this quick as I don’t have much time before I return back. Yeah, back there, not here. Hi guys, recently, or just yesterday people gather round in front of me to eat and talk and laugh, but then I’m the one at a corner looking at my player laughing to myself. It is hard to not notice that I’m apparently the one segregated from the crowd due to me not involved in their conversations or even eating at that point, but that doesn’t matter. Somewhat what I am not happy about is that the fact that they are, and I’m not. Well this is understandable as I always say:

“People in joy can never understand the other people who are not.” –Kaineng

(Audience: Seriously, your quote again?) Haha somehow. But then it seems that no one is actually interested to get me involved either, lest I flare up and get some of them disappointed. Maybe that is how people see me, a loner and someone who is better left alone. Sounds like the past me already, huh? It’s okay; I cannot expect people to do anything. I don’t control them anyway. That is why I want to go to a place; A place where I can see the ideal things in life. Is it not possible? Listen to Rie fu to find out:

This is also why I ended up choosing this as my Song of the day last night. (Audience: You still on the ‘Song of the day’ thing?) (Yep) Cya guys next time, where I’ll talk about Entertainment News. I noticed I missed it again, even though I came back on Monday…

[P.S.: This morning I also passed my physical fitness test, clearing everything required for the second year within one month (with range and obstacle course). This sure is an achievement man, now I can relax… Ahh my leg…]

Saturday Night Report: Summer Time Party

(Hey I got every song I’m going to introduce into the title! Well it wasn’t very difficult isn’t it…)

Hi guys, recently down with a flu (must be some bastard who passed it to be on Thursday) and may not be able to do many things required this weekend. Listening of songs would be dragged another week because of my mood, and watching shows now has become a torture as this disease of mine is somewhat affecting me in my ability to laugh. Haiz. Sucks to be down with a flu. Anyways, I’m not here to complain. Actually, I’m here to write (if possible for tomorrow, I see lah) about this year’s summer!

Not about bikinis in general (but put a note on that and I’ll get back to it later) (Audience: LOL), but the songs I hear this year. It’s summer, and I’m here to introduce three different ways of enjoying summer. See which one suits your taste lor. We have Visual Kei, J-Rock, and Voice Actor Idol taking charge this time round:

QUATTRO – Time Time Time Year Released: 2010 (3 years ago liao) What’s “Summer” About It: Even the cover tells you something. And watching the MV footage makes you feel the love and… you know, the summer feel.	Tomatsu Haruka – PACHI PACHI PARTY Year Released: 2013 (YESH THIS YEAR!) What’s “Summer” About It: If you watch the PV it’s got summer all over it man. She running a ice cream stall… can I get one please?	Sid – Samaraba (Summer Lover) Year Released: 2013 (Fresh from the oven) What’s “Summer” About It: The song’s fine, but the PV… *nosebleed* sorry Tomacchan, if you ever wear a bikini in a music video…

In the end, I preferred QUATTRO, huh. They’re good you know, ever since I heard them during Nano-Mugen Compilation last year. It’s one of the many Alternative Rock bands I like, along with VELTPUNCH and Ajikan, and many others. If you think it’s gay… then don’t watch the PV. I placed the videos from YouTube for convenience sake, ok?

Ok guys cya then, and until tomorrow… If I’m not well things are not going to be good for me, so forgive me if I don’t appear here. Bye.

(NOTE: All YouTube videos have copyright of their respective owners. Please only view them within this page and if you intend anything evil please do it at the website, not at my humble webpage. Also the videos shown here will face expiration if not from official source.)

[P.S.: Is that note enough? I hope so…]

[P.P.S.: Oh yeah, talking about bikini… I see you guys get kinda bored of Tomacchan, so… You guys know Ayachi’s doing another image DVD? How did the company even think of doing this AGAIN? Really?
Yeah man in Australia! Gold Coast x Ayachi! 楽しみ！]

Monday Night Report: A Long List Of Things To Do (Everything Else Portion)

*Looks at tags* See I told you it consists of everything else… Well almost…

Eh… anyone thinks I’m talking a little too much, because it seems… (Audience shake heads) Oh, okay. That’s good. Let’s carry on.

…

Because, you know, I cannot talk to anyone out there about Aqua Timez (well I have never, or maybe JK, that’s all), or Ikimono-gakari (my sis?), or Ajikan (hmm…). I also cannot talk to anyone else about Denise Milani (really?), or ******* ****, or ********. See, I cannot talk to anybody about these either. (Audience: You know it’s a family site, so…) Yeah, I know. *sobs*

…

Well, let’s give a talk about everything else then.Or how about I make it in a manner of a FAQ session (I almost mistyped into a vulgarity) (Audience: It’s okay, it happens to everyone all the time…), what do you guys think? Yeah? Let’s go then:

Q: How is APoL going?
A: Eh… I can say it’s in progress. Some week ago I mentioned about having a general idea of Chapter 6, but then when I got down to writing it it suddenly becomes difficult, and am apparently in a standstill. Well, I’ll try to skip that portion I’m stuck at and come back to it later then. (It’s a bit like exams, you know) Hope I can finish by tomorrow? And I have drafts until Chapter 8 done already, so just look forward then.

Q: How is life?
A: Wow that’s rather straightforward. A piece of hell. (Audience: How so?) New leaders take over (means they don’t know the way it’s done), discipline is tightened, and more ridiculous rules are set. Now you know what I mean, huh… Currently I’m in love with life at home and eating in camp. Haha. Just… don’t tell my mum…

Q: In the previous post, you mentioned about your… preferences in female voice actors.Can’t you mention the number of… voice actors you currently are following?
A: Aw that question is so well put, so well that I should not reject answering. Well if you need a list…

The K-ON! main cast (haha the five are great): [Links to MyAnimeList.net profiles]
Toyosaki Aki-chan
(Her voice never gets tired, and I can hear her voice for a whole hour of web radio, live. Even though I don’t understand. Really.)
Hikasa Youko “Yocchan”
(She’s quite some age, but seeing her in shows like RO-KYU-BU! and famous by her ‘てへぺろ' acts I think it’s enough. And her solo music career by far is GOOD.)
Satou Satomi-chan (I don’t like to call her by her abbreviations, just because I don’t want to… complicate… things?)
(If you watch Hyouka too you’ll think she’s good. If you also watch Seitokai Yakuindomo too you’ll think she’s also naughty. Or she desires a larger chest. Haha. But sadly I don’t see her sing often…)
Kotobuki Minako “Mina-chan”
(Her? She’s only a year older than me, breaks many records before 20 like Tomacchan, and her voice is really unique. No matter what role she acts, like Aki-chan)
Taketatsu Ayana “Ayachi”
(She’s just plain cute, even at 24. Really. She’s diverse in her acts too. *silence* Eh… I just don’t want to mention that she’s top on the Top Bustiest Voice Actors in Japan… *blushes*)
Others, including:
Hanazawa Kana-chan
(She has been a star since young; a photobook at 10 years old is no joke. But I like the her now, really cute and… I wonder if I can say this, but a bit blur, haha.)
Tomatsu Haruka “Tomacchan”
(Her singing started when I started listening to Japanese songs 5 years ago, and has more photobooks than the BLEACH  movie series. and yeah she’s a ‘90)
Kayano Ai
(This is more recent, as I started noticing her from Hyouka. And she’s a ‘90 too)

Well that should be enough. I don’t need more if I have them. Ahem *says to self* what am I saying?? OMG… And please remember I talk in my own impression, so don’t comment too much into it, okay? (Audience nods slowly) NEXT!

Q: How about a view of how your Media Player looks like up to this point?
A: Well okay, here it is.
Not bad for seven and a half months, even though it could be better. WHERE THE F*** IS NANO-MUGEN COMPILATION 2013? No new songs from Ajikan then no one upload liao ar? (Oops.)

Q: If anyone of us would like to talk to you in person…
A: Why not leave a message her? *Wait, did I allow comments in this website…* Eh I guess so… Not like I’ll know of it anyway… (Audience: Oi.) Hehe…

I guess that’s enough. You guys wouldn’t want to know my psychological situation right now, isn’t it? (Audience: Not really…) Great. Cya guys then, until next time… you guys want a picture? Or how about this: I pick a picture form the girls above and you guys who it is? (Audience: Well, okay.)

OK, who’s… this?

(Audience: This is… ooh.) I knew you’d think otherwise… (Female audience still concentrating) Seriously? It’s not difficult to guess this, especially of you’ve seen the posts this year…

 

 

…

 

[P.S.: For idiots who still haven’t got it, it’s Tomacchan. She… just happens to be a gravure idol in her free time, haha. NO! I’m not here to tarnish her reputation. She doesn’t wear this often. Look at her latest single, so… disappointing?]

[P.P.S.: I forgot Ayacchi already? Sorry guys she was too short to notice xD]

Sunday Night Report: The Never-Ending-Weekend-Series, In A Nutshell

Wow it’s been some time already man. And I promised to share about my adventures during this long break. But then saying, me typing now also means during the holiday I have also been busy…

Well since Thursday I’ve been looking forward to two things that have appeared in my home, namely a bunch of furniture and a box containing 3 CDs and A POSTER!! OMG:

I know, right? But then if you don’t I also can understand you; It’s like going to be the beginning of a never-ending poster collection. Haha, don’t worry. I won’t. Besides, it’s so difficult to get if you’re buying it from CDJapan; I thought I would have my first Aki-chan photo but then… *sob*

And then on Thursday I tried to build one of the best yet most tough things to build in my workspace: DVD Tower. Seriously? You guys would know if you did it yourself, because doing it myself resulted it being a little out of shape as no one is holding the structure when I nail down the structure together. Haiz…

Well Friday was a different case. With Dad at home he willingly helped me in this part of the job I’m missing (I still did the most, though somehow I had to give him most of the credit), I would be able to get the end result of the desk and bookcase, and here it is:

With the construction of my workspace I managed to get rid of a lot (like, HELL A LOT) of things, like… my JC experience? Haha maybe really without LX things would have been better. Haha. Results may not even be my concern already by then…
                              
But then that was a good experience. No, the renovation of my room. Good job really. But then during the weekend I had made some adjustments till it is today. Just now I also shopped for some hardware to expand my virtual space (too many HD lives liao) and storage capabilities (memory card for phone, USB hub with switches…). All in all, I think I’ve spent enough to create closer to what I call “workspace”. At the least, now the computer’s in my room! MUAHAHAHAHA…

Okay I think that’s long enough for now. I still have much things to do. Next up on Entertainment News: We look at how a person being eaten by a Titan can still have a whole body. I guess you guys knew it already, huh…

[P.S.: (Audience: What about the chalet?) What chalet?]

Monday Night Report: Things Not Going According To Plan

:OMG. I keep wondering why my package has not been delivered and then I took a long look on updates from CDJapan and they tell me…

LAST FRIDAY AND THIS MONDAY (TODAY) ARE PUBLIC HOLIDAYS IN JAPAN!!!

Oi you Japanese from my audience why never tell me? (Audience: 私たちのことじゃないよ~) **** YOU! (Rest of Audience: Oi, manners. No racism.) Oh. Sorry guys.

Haiz… How? I have no freaking idea. If they ship by tomorrow, means I may be receiving the package around the same time I receive the one from Amazon Japan. Goddammit. I need to blame someone but I cannot. I can only blame myself for now knowing MORE about Japan’s Golden Week…

…

Hey since I’m here already, I might as well teach you guys some holiday knowledge in Japan. According to Wikipedia, the free encyclopaedia:
April 29 – Showa Day (PUBLIC HOLIDAY)
May 1 – Labour Thanksgiving Day (NOT PUBLIC HOLIDAY)
May 3 – Constitution Memorial Day (PUBLIC HOLIDAY) (And I expect them to ship the package by then)
May 4 – Grennery Day (PUBLIC HOLIDAY)
May 5 – Children’s Day (PUBLIC HOLIDAY)
And with all countries like Singapore, if a holiday lands on a Sunday the next day (may I quote Wikipedia):

“… the next day that is not already a holiday becomes a holiday for that year.”

Yep. I’ve truly learned my lesson today. What a fruitful lesson, don’t you guys think? Now I’m so much trouble I may have to take a call to FedEx again. Haiz…

[P.S.: Have you guys heard Hikasa Youko, Yocchan’s debut single? Feels like buying another Akiyama Mio Character Song Single, right? Haha… (Ok lah maybe not so much, but the B-side makes me think so…)]

Sunday Night Report: The Nemesis

Haha, hi guys. It’s been a while, isn’t it? Like working, being in the Army does not mean you don’t need to deal with many types of people and situations, you know. Especially the fact that when things go wrong you might just end up in court and prison for all you know. But recently, I have a feeling people are making me get into trouble for some reason, and as with most people who blame others, of course I cannot blame myself.

There are those people, who knows everyone hates him, but just works everything under the table. They suck up and complain to their superiors (not next superior, mind you) and then neglect their work by finding means and ways of avoiding them with excuses. And thus, with the Army mission of “One For All, All For One”, someone else would have to do the deed. Coincidentally, I have been backup to this bastard (mind me people; only this post is rated, ok?) for duty, and as predicted he found some way to avoid it. But then if the sh*t doesn’t hit that fan, it’ll hit mine. I didn’t go, because calling me was too late (I sleep late during weekends?). And someone else who was supposed to take his leave has to come back to take the job. Feeling indebted, I ended up doing his weekend duty for him. See where this has started from? That jerk…

There are also those people, who know they are the f***ers and like being one. Really man, does this ever end? And yesh, seeing him for even the day would be infuriating. It is most emphasised when your week is going to end and he’s the one who is turning your book out day to no good. I ended up cleaning the toilet (everyone ended up cleaning the toilet; It’s the Army anyway), and am going to be arrowed to do so next time round. Seriously? Another jerk…

But then there are also some people, who did not offend anyone, who are not evil enough to harm anyone, but then they just get in your way. Like, it’s obvious when it comes to friendships. When they’re not around, other people approach you, and you enjoy the times when you’re noticed. But then he comes back from his leave (I did not say the one in the previous paragraph is the one- Oops) and everything changes. You feel neglected, and people do not notice you that much anymore. What is this? A change in tide? A lack of initiative? Or is just the person more outstanding in character than you that he steals the spotlight? Nevertheless, finding friends takes a special kind of interest you people share, and I do not. I listen to J-Pop (only another guy hears people like Hayasami Ayumi and Perfume), watch Chinese comedy shows (people watch K-Pop drama, no ‘click’ here) and do not play any games nowadays (now is like Pokemon, DOTA etc it seems). In all aspects of an urban teenager, I seem to be from the suburbs. Come on, even people who live near the low-developed areas hold an iPhone. Talking about barriers, another jerk…

Yesh. This world is filled with jerks, and it seems (you guys don’t wanna shoot me now?) that there aren’t any good guys around. (Audience: WHAT ABOUT US?) I knew you would say that. Go ahead then. Human intentions are countless that even Taiwanese long-run dramas do not come close. But what I know is, there is no point in worrying. Since it’s done, it’s done. There is no way to wipe the slate clean, only to keep it low so you wouldn’t be found and dragged to do the sentence again. I mean, really. I enjoy solitude, you know. It’s the Army that drags me into this social inferno again, and burns me up in to pieces until I can barely walk out of it alive. I want to vent out this anger, and given that I intend to write this 2 weeks after incidents happen to not write any longer, it can be seen I still have much to be pissed off about.

HOW, GUYS? HOW?

…

You know what? I’ll smile. I’ll smile and move forward. No matter what happens. I’ll act like a shield. I defend against all threats but make no advance. Isn’t that simple? Smile, guys. It’s not easy to do it nowadays. If you read my mind about the overview of APoL, you’ll understand. For now, here’s a nice song by miwa that encourages everyone to smile. Really. It’s the best thing we all don’t like to do:
(If you don’t like Youku or if you cannot see anything, there is no f***ing thing I can do about it. Period.)

[P.S.: Coming up next is Entertainment News! Yesh I’ve decided what Anime to watch this Spring 2013!]

Sunday Night Report: Anime Season… not.

Ok don’t be such a rush when you read the title. This post would be about everything BESIDES Anime. The next post (most likely Monday, see lor) would most likely feature… another week of work for me or else would be about the new season. I’m getting hyped up these days, and would like to share it with you guys, but…

A lot has been going along my mind these days. Like, sloth and happiness has been controlling me these weeks, especially after the parade I know if you guys watch Singapore news  2 weeks ago would have known which one I am mentioning. Because of this, I lose concentration of things I am doing or am supposed to do, like APoL. I apologise time and again for not doing up the chapters on time, as I see no free time especially during weekends and I have, till now, not been able to get myself a device in which I can continue typing out my story, also ie. a smart phone. Haiz. I know. Been convincing my mom for it, we’ll see about it after her birthday…

Everything else? It’s going well. BLEACH Manga has great developments about Isshin’s past (liked his zanpakuto anyway, like covering up for Yama-jii’s loss… haha), I’ve seen yet another chapter of Tonari no Kashiwag-san and am SOOO into it I read it multiple times using my MP3 Player…

Sh*t. I wanted to talk about Anime but I guess that’ll be all. (Audience: That will NOT be all! You do not go off until you finish this, you-) That WILL BE ALL, people. I need to pack up and go back to that mundane lifestyle in camp, and we’ll see if I can get out tomorrow to talk about Anime. It’s been keeping inside myself for some time, and sis is not watching the shows I watch. Haiz. Cya guys then, and until next time… isn’t the world so complicated? (Audience: Huh?)

Monday Night Report: A Birthday Commentary (ABC)

Hi guys. It’s been… a fortnight since I last posted here, so good. It’s about time. As you guys would have remembered, I had a hectic week last week, but wasn’t as bad. Wouldn’t be as bad as my birthday… Hey people do know my birthday, only if I tell them first. Unfortunately I did not get to enjoy it outside of camp as it falls on a Tuesday. Fortunately I was still in one piece after that day since no one played any pranks on me due to the fact that I did not tell anyone, or a few just to make myself happy. My day wasn’t good, like I got a strict sergeant and training lasted till the late evening, and yeah I could not book out. This week somewhat is okay too, but then if VOC rings a bell I think we’re doing it this week. A stack of Coke is seen in the Coy office just now when I booked out wor…

Okay now to my main topic: Birthday Wishes. Actually I’ve been vexed by my parents and not even my Platoon Commander knows that I have no future. Haha, ie. I have not set foot on continuing my education, or in terms of getting a degree, “finishing” my education career. I know, I have been thinking. Either I take my interests (in which I would end up in a Polytechnic?) or I go with the flow (squeeze into a private university with some random course?), in which case would determine my future. You know what, guys? I’ll get back to you later. (Audience: Cheh…) Come on, you think it’s easy? It’s easy when you have something in mind lah. I don’t. Duno why. Even till now. Haiz…

“Should I just fulfil my dream to create that game I planned when I was young?” –Kaineng

Now to the real thing: Wishlist. Hmm… this one mah… I have many thoughts on this you know. Besides getting a Cowon player for myself (which I already did, that X9), I still have many things to think off, some in consideration to improve my studying environment. I think I list it out, it’s kinda a lot you know:
- Tablet (I have seen Dell’s unfinished product, thought of Wacom Tablet and Pen…)
- Computer table and workplace (hmm haven’t gotten permission from Dad)
- A (I must be specific) slider QWERTY keyboard smart phone. Yeah. (There are many references… But that means the three mobile companies wouldn’t have what I want)

Ahem (will update soon, running out of time) most of them are facilitating me in finishing my… self-created novel, A Pack of Life, if you guys didn’t know yet. And some would need to come soon, as time in camp shouldn’t be wasted in sleeping… and those kind of things. I think you guys know which one of the above I’m referring to, and with some time I think I can get my hands on it soon. Dad says he can upgrade my mobile plan to 3G…

OK that’s all for now. I need to pack up, and also watch some just-downloaded SCANDAL live. Thinking of whether wanna go to their live concert. Yesh, in Singapore. It’s a hundred bucks wor, so I’ll need to think about it, hehe. Cya guys then, until next time… hopefully it’s Wednesday, which I will try to continue this, if possible. If sloth does not take over my mind again lah…

Tuesday Night Report: Where It Should Be Continued.

(Do I have to do this?) *Audience whispering* (Okay…)

 

Allo. I’m Kaineng, and this is my blog. You must be wondering- *looks around* You must be wondering why I took so long just to write another post in this blog. There is an explanation for this. Ever since I went back to my unit after the the driving course, business have been rather… slack. Therefore I have been more involved in my army life than dedicate time to write my feelings here. As you guys would have noticed I kinda stopped writing here ever since MythBusters has stalled and no Anime has caught my attention this season, so making me think that typing this was not necessary. Nevertheless, I have been thinking. A lot, in some way.

APOL
Yesh, that. If you guys would remember, this is the story I have been thinking and penning it down to be my last random work of my education journey. For this, I have been revising the system and many of the chapters to change anything necessary, so I have not been updating you guys with this. And I still intend to finish 20 chapters this year. Haha wishful thinking, huh?

CNY
Well these few days have been busy, getting angbaos and sending greetings to many. But this year, the feel of the festival has been dampened. I duno why, but somehow it has been less… lively than usual. I can actually spend more time sleeping and dozing off at other people’s houses, and even today I have to go out to pay respects to some elders (luckily the red packets are keeping me happy lols). So you see, it’s not easy to even spend time typing, you know…

COWON X9
Yesh that. I had a few days off (which I rather not tell you the reason, but then what does MC matter?) to go to somewhere “ulu” to get myself this… well Korea says it’s a PMP liao, so I’ll agree to that. Because the price itself – if you do not agree because you’re rich – is extremely high for a MP3 Player. 300 bucks sure is serious shit, you know. Pictures? Hmm, mine maybe not. How about the official one at their site?

I think I have mentioned much, and I still need time to pack up. I’m going back to night; Don’t need to be sad for me, it’s army life anyway. The next time I see you, I promise to do a weekly entry, even if I have nothing to say. At least I’ll say about APoL progress and… the things around me. .I feel like getting the Aki-chan’s and Ayacchi’s new single leh, but then I no time… Saturdays could do perhaps? Yeah.

Cya guys then, hehe. Until next time… you guys don’t mind if I busy? Bye~

[P.S.: I swear LX is having a good time in Poly. Sadly I cannot join her, and by the time I want to it’ll not be easy already. I thought of sending her chapters of APoL so to keep me in schedule and in contact with her, but then… it’s not easy huh. Haiz…]

Monday Night Post: Returning Back to…

Hey guys. I’ll drop a post about my recent… adventures? Yeah, tomorrow. If I have the time, I cannot promise. Or else it’ll be this weekend.RTU LO…

Sunday Night Report: Directions 2013, Found

You guys won’t believe it, but it took me TWO WEEKS just to find my direction for this year. This should add to the New Year entry lah, but then can’t you guys just refer to it yourselves? Okay, let’s talk about it quickly, as I would like to sleep on my NEW PILLOW already, haha. (Audience: lol)
This year, my… direction in life shall be:
“MOVING AHEAD”

I was wanting to put “progress” as a significant show to “change” as I has placed last year, but I’m slowly losing confidence, contributed by the test I took before last year ended. But then, I’m not backing, because if I ever place “progress” means that I have to include “improvement” in my current statement. Improvement in the Army? Man that can only be in rank lah, but it wouldn’t be much anyway. What I mean is, it’s more important to be “moving ahead” in life, and not remembering the bad times one has, because I know: I’m going to have many bad times ahead this year…

On the bright side, I know this year’s songs would be more outstanding than ever, so all the entertainment shall make me happy man. Besides, with the (future, it’s coming already, I just need a weekday off) arrival of my NEW MP3 Player I would be able to type large amounts of text into a document, meaning I can do up more chapters of APoL in camp, so I wouldn’t be rotting and hearing songs only. With that, I end this post. Really. Everything, especially in January, is just starting. Cya guys then, until next time… you guys still need Entertainment News? Hmm, I see I have a night free without Night Training first… (Audience: Sad…) I know…

Let’s take a picture to cheer me up. You guys know Tomacchan is releasing an album on my dad’s birthday? Shall I give him the album for his birthday? (Audience: No I don’t think this would be a good idea…) I thought he would be good with another daughter… (Audience: lololololol)

Tuesday Night Report: Why I Am Bored

Hi guys. Specially came to write about… Entertainment News, true. But also, I’m here to tell you guys… about a mad plan I’m… no, I’ve executed already, and I’ve came here to share my worries…

ANIME
Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun – Sadly the ONLY show I’m currently watching (here’s hoping Kokoro Connect continues premier soon, been news about live event broadcasts already), but also the best I’m impressed by. Really, this show is truly an interesting romance show. Really. Or maybe I like people to get shy or just a heck lot of jokes, but then in this episode the guys have their summer break. Though they skipped the Manga porttion of going to the beach, it was still nice to watch Asako-chan in bikini *woots* and Haru acting nice and cool and stuff. Haha. Now let’s see how the guy can cope with his ‘brother complex’, haha…

SHOWS
MythBusters – Also the ONLY programme I’m watching, this week’s on bridge leaping and hull-breaking using the largest hails flying in tornado speed? Yeah, and the outcomes were rather obvious, so not super surprised anyway. And really, having some science bites every week makes me remember the things I studied… and landed me on the most ridiculous state of my life. (Audience: Life choices?) Yep…

Yesh, ABOUT THE PLAN. Not that I cannot say, but suffice to say I’m satisfied in myself ordering THRICE IN TWO WEEKS in CDJapan. I must be mad. (Audience: Yeah you must be CD mad…) *silence* Really. How? The third one was like… just now? Because I saw a YUI 10% sale and decided to add another order? OMG I’m SOOOOOOOO into consumerism… Hmm depending on the situation I’ll do overalls on Sunday, or be able to do it on the upcoming holiday two days from now. But it seems that delivery is going to be earlier than expected (the other one, the one I clicked on Sunday, and saw the damn sale the next day), so I may have to call FedEx customer service yet again. Argh, what a pain… and my pocket… (Audience: You’re happy?) YESH!!!!! For real. Show you guys Kalafina’s new single ON THE WEEK OF RELEASE, RIGHT ON MY HANDS!! MUAHAHAHAHA… *audience smiles*

Cya guys then, tomorrow got some test that… would determine my Saturday. (Audience: That serious?) Yeah. Until next time… I wonder if anyone’s visiting here... *looks at stats* Hmm, looks like I’m correct…

(Haha who said you guys had a choice?) Which hand would you pick?

[P.S.: Damn they are giving their maiden overseas live in Singapore! Wished I can be there, but seeing this course I’m in, and the price I need to pay just to watch them and many others I’m not the least interested in… I think I’ll wait for next time. Besides, my passion in J-Pop shows no signs of dwindling anytime soon. Five years in the liking is not easy you know…]
