Wednesday Night Report: Entertainment In The “Low Seas”

Hey guys, this is the next post. Yeah. And I need to mention again, it’s about the Entertainment News I missed to tell you guys for the past month. Actually, there wasn’t really a need to update, since in the music section it’s almost empty: I only reviewed two albums and no singles at all, for the whole month. Either the music companies in Japan needs pushing or I’m not in the mood to pick some songs. Yah, no one I knew released anything, so I no choice. I also took the month to get new songs, or actually, it’s “songs I haven’t heard”, and the count is apparently spawning in number. Let’s start shall we…
===========
(Sh*t what do I normally start first? *Audience whispers* Oh yeah) ANIME
Eh… As you know the new Summer 2012 Anime have been surfacing from Japan to the world already, so I’m already slow in updating my progress. How about let’s talk about previous season first?
Sakamichi no Apollon ended… quite a weird way. Not what I expected (like an epic performance or whatsoever), but it started the priest, so I can call it “epic”, haha. Eh… I don’t remember much of music jazz in there, more like a story of love, as according to the authors in Random Curiosity. But then the love is displayed well, in all sides. In the many love triangles. In those many problems these teens face. Congrats Junichi and Yurika on their marriage and sex encounter (haha), and Nishimi on finding Father Sentarou after eight years. And yeah. I think I talked about me being a character parallel with Nishimi-san. Maybe I should grow some longer hair for a try… Haha yeah I know. I have to wait till 2014 (like, ORD?) in order for that to even happen. (Audience: Sad.) Yeah…
Natsuiro Kiseki ended in context of the stone, no doubt. But then it was just as weird as the other episodes anyway, so I have nothing much to say. What’s happen has got to happen, like Saki leaving for Tokyo, even though they really loved the never-ending Summer Vacation. I’d like a never-ending event. What would yours be? *Audience hints* Mine? Eh… A never-ending block week? (Audience: Hah, you hope…)
Hyouka leh… it’s still some distance from the end, and it IS ONE FULL SEASON, guys. Yeah, similar to me watching one full-season Spring 2011 Anime last year, (if you remembered) Nichijou. The mystery is getting good, even though there are empty lines in between, meaning they could’ve made it half-season (and ended now). Eh recently they’ve reached their School Festival, and in it also lies a mystery, even though it’s just Chitanda-san playing around the stalls and Oreki sitting there doing his work best – slacking. And selling 200 anthologies. Haha, that’s not gonna be easy. But there’s gotta be a way. I think… I really like how they play with human thinking in the previous movie-completion activity, making the writer retire for a more exciting ending. Evil people nowadays, huh…
===========
Let’s talk about the new Anime then. I’ve caught up some Anime, since it’s POP (POP!) (Audience: |||… You’re not over yet, are you?) (Hehe…) over for me, and I need more inspiration for APoL. As always, I take some shows with good animation quality and comedy, especially the latter, starting with Binbougami ga!, a show about the luckiest girl in universe(and the bustiest and cutest, really look at the girls in school…) (*Audience jeers*) (What?) – Sakura Ichiko – (I can even remember her name! Of course, Kana-chan stars her role~) AND the most unlucky God of Misfortune in existence, Momiji if I’m not wrong. And yeah, it’s like telling an unlucky guy to make a lucky guy unlucky. Understand? Yeah, it’s like the methods the unlucky guy uses would definitely get on him (in this case, her) before the lucky guy (in this case, girl) gets any damage. Well, and I like how it mentions about the impact of luck on others, like Ichiko’s butler Suwano, who almost died because of her. Now that he’s married to form a 52-25 marriage (五二二五,meaning a marriage of an elder with a teen), we see more characters appearing to help… either side? And yeah more Tomacchan voicing! Yeah! Haha. But then, I don’t like her character she stars wor, so… “man”?

And honestly, the Anime I introduce in this segment (See the line above? It’s not ASCII Art you know…) (Audience: |||…) are going in descending preference, or you could depict as “what I caught on first sight” to “what I think I can watch till the end”. This belongs to the I’m-afraid-of-this-show-as-it-may-contain-Hentai-content category? (Haha long hyphenated words again?) It’s Kokoro Connect, if you guys are guessing. You guys aren’t? Oh. Well, it’s another production by TBS, so animation quality is definitely good, though details of the art are simple. I caught sight of the show due to the soul-switching concept getting evidently occasional, and… I love the Opening Song. Brings me back to my childhood. (Audience laughs) Haha. I laughed at what I typed too. It’s okay on the first episode, and there’s Nagase Iori starring Aki-chan! So who wouldn’t watch? Haha, no lah. Just her only? No. My point is, it’s her that made this show more intriguing, like her acting a male perspective role, touching her own breasts only to attract attention from other girls who want to do her too? OKAY! TAKE THAT I DIDN’T SAY THIS SHOW WAS GOOD AT ALL! Haiz. No, please. No Hentai content, please…

Last but not least (well it’s the least, so…) is Tari Tari, a show about ONE student creating ANOTHER choir club to own the present one in their college. Bastard right? How could she do that anyway? And what would this bring? For the time being it brings touching stories, so I’m still watching. But I tell you, that college is rather screwed up, like the Principal sees a name and approves the club. Really? But then I’m a little displeased with the songs they put inside, and there aren’t veteran singers in the cast, so I’m hoping for the best. Yeah? I can still abandon a show at Episode 3…

Overall, the new season brings prospective. And I’m already loving the Opening Themes of the shows. Haha I guess I’ll stick with it to the end~
You see, people need to get influenced by others, right?

SHOWS
Oh MythBusters has already stopped weeks ago, so we can drop that talk. (Audience: ??) Haha at least till the next batch of episodes surface? Yeah? Recently went to download Jeff Dunham’s performance: Back in USA for him, still in South Africa for Walter and Achmed. Haha I just love the Achmed segment, especially in his new show two more characters are introduced, including Achmed’s… son? Yeah:

MUSIC
Onto music then, I supposed you had a good laugh, haha. Eh… it’s a long story, really. I picked songs from too many songs that I need a recall session. Eh… I started with listening to Sphere’s latest live “Athletic Harmonies” back a month ago and took back Mina-chan’s B-side for her 3rd single “Colourful Diary” and one from Tomacchan’s album two years ago “REWIND”. Weeks later I took Kugimiya Rie’s first own album. (Audience: ??) Haha I know you guys will start to ask who the heck is she liao. She stars people like Shana, and Taiga years ago on Toradora! Yeah, she at her late 20s is getting herself an album, and I can say… it’s quite good. The mood is there (or, at least, my mood is there too), and Composer from eufonius is also doing a good job. Oh the Composer also is a band singing for Kokoro Connect’s Opening, so have a listen. And in this connected world I hear Chatmonchy, who once again collaborated with Masafumi Gotoh, the vocal of Ajikan on a new song. Sadly it’s a B-side on Chatmonchy’s new single, how pathetic.

Wow paragraph too long, so break off. Recently I’ve hit NANO-MUGEN COMPILATION 2012, which is… most appealing to me. I placed plenty of stars on a lot of songs, and ended up with 5. (It was 8 at first?) Ajikan this time emphasises on music tracks, and I personally took more Japanese songs, duno why. Also Chatmonchy (above, just to fit into the conversation) and SCANDAL released new singles, which would break the ice on the second-half of this year’s songs, which include (I just name a few lah): Aqua Timez, Tomatsu Haruka, ALTIMA (Shana Endings?) HOME MADE Kazoku, YUI (yeah that “fight” song), Kana-chan, miwa and many more. See I tell you something must happen after NANO-MUGEN. Haha…

Sphere also had their new album released, which only included three new songs? Meh, trying to cut cost and make me buy the album? I almost did I tell you, but I held back. Took some song with a Chinese feel (you listen you’ll know), “Niji-iro no Yakusoku” than the other two songs. Talking about buying, FeDex is bringing in a parcel for me around tomorrow noon (yeah) containing 13 singles costing me 250 bucks. Hell yeah, all has broken loose here man, and I don’t care what my parents say. Wait till they see the box man. It includes the songs I listen within 2012, that fulfil certain requirements I set (like a secret ingredient I shall not reveal, but you can guess), and does not cost a bomb. Haha. Albums cost a bomb. I’ll think more than twice in getting that. I wouldn’t for Aki-chan’s album, by the way. Muahahaha… (Audience: Wait till you press the “Order” button on that…)
About side songs… VELTPUNCH people listened to sunday morning bell as shown on MySpace, so I also had a listen. Kawada Mami is getting on TV, so I gave her a listen too. After that it’s all the Anime song previews I’m listening to prevent myself from getting crazy when I hear them, spanning from next week to next month. Yeah Anime songs have always been a surprise to me, so I better be ready…
===========
Wow with the so many exciting things happening nowadays… WHAT THE HECK AM I IN NATIONAL SERVICE??? (Audience: Chill man. You don’t wanna kena STOMP just like that.) Oh yeah, relax. And yeah, I must compose myself for the parcel tomorrow! Haha! Cya guys then! I’m SOOOOOO READY! Take it up, Kawada Mami!


[P.S.: As with the occasion I’m supposed to place a picture, over such a long time liao. But as with the occasion now I think I’ll reserve that later…]

[P.P.S.: Mind the… not-so-attractive face of Mami-san. Just imagine it’s Tomacchan holding a guitar back when she’s doing her PV for her previous single “Oh My God”. *silence* *giggle* Haha…]
Wait! I think I can place a picture. Here’s how the Media Player with the NEW CPU is doing:
Oops! I forgot to tell you guys: I can see thumbnails in Windows Explorer! Summore in 1600x900! Too big for your screen? Sorry~ (Audience: Bastard…)

Wednesday Morning Report: Down!, Boredom & Despair, The Start of The End

Haha. Hi guys. And I’m… I-

"すみませんでした!"

(Audience: Why the sudden-) Really, SORRY for the many weeks of not writing anything on this… deserted plain of nothing but text. SORRY for not updating about my BMT life and the shows and music I am entertained in the past month. Really, I’m apologising for my lack of promise and insincerity for doing so. (Audience: So that means this time your apology is also insin-) No! This is by far my most sincere, so please forgive me for everything. NOW… (Audience: ???) *white light appears* (Audience: !!!)

Haha that was just some stupid effect, forgive me. (Audience: We’re going to be Jesus soon if we have to keep forgiving you… [No offence xD]) Okay, let’s get started. Basically this post is going to explain what the heck happened to me in the past month of my life, from passing out from BMT (yesh I already did), future plans and… everything else military. Which does not have a security level of above “Confidential”. Which… I think I can say and show. Facebook has the pictures, so what’s so difficult?

Well… First things first let’s talk about something recent; The Passing Out Parade. And not forgetting the 24km Route March, which almost sacrificed my feet. (Audience: ??) Haha somewhat that was an exaggeration, but I wasn’t lucky on this. For 17 weeks of wonderful weather – even in Field Camp and SITEST – there in comes a bad weather on the START of the Route March, when we’re doing warm-up. I reminded people who asked about a Saturday evening showers, and when you’re in shelter seeing the precipitation fall, I was IN FRONT OF A PORTY, TAKING THE RAIN FULLY AS IT FALLS, WITH NO HEAD GEAR OR SHELTER TO HIDE IN. And that applies to the 2700+ recruits who were there also, so it really is ‘felt by the mass’, you know.

“Don’t delay the inevitable.” –Sergeant Jimmy

After that, it was just nothing better. When you feel your feet are immersed in water like being in a swimming pool, and your field pack, vest and helmet are all wet, suddenly everything seems heavier than usual, which made the journey down worse. On the other hand, at least the scenery are doing me good, or I’m just putting a lot of my energy in concentrating on walking this trip. As I always say (at least in BMT phase nowadays):

“I’ll be glad when this is over!” –Kaineng

As I was moaning about the march, at least when it’s over it’s still better than ever, and the mood for POP (yeah abbreviations) finally came close, as we change up, and… though it isn’t glam for those who came early in the audience, you can actually see a whole bunch of teens lying on the ground, sleeping. Yeah.

“Goddamn faggot!” –Warrant Sonny
“Ka-bai!” – Warrant Naga

Yeah, and so the parade announcement startled everyone soon, and we all woke up to wash up, and prepare for the occasion. It went well, and as you throw off that Jockey Cap, it just feels that everything is over. Really. But then you know this is only the start of Every Singaporean Son’s two-year service for the country. Haiz, I told to myself:

“I hope I end up well after two years.” –Kaineng

So then I’m here, enjoying my… seemingly one-week break. I duno. If I receive the notice on Friday and sees it tells me to report on Saturday then there’s no point for saying the length of this break, isn’t it?

The most handsome pic of myself since...

Yep. *blushes* Everything before suddenly seems unimportant already. The 16km march, BIC (you donid to know what it is if you duno), long hours of admin time without my memory card (yeah I still remembered that week; it sucked) etc. Because… BMT’s over. No more Tekong bus trips or ferry trips (at least not to and fro Tekong lah). No more lousy water quality and… cookhouse food. (Well, I’m not complaining about the food…) No more (for the time being) climbing of 5 storeys of stairs. No more… wait, isn’t it “no more” already? Why can I bother to list this much? OMG… Oh no. It’s “OMDBG”… (Audience: ???) *Kaineng whispers* (Audience: Ahh Taoist vulgarities…) (?)

OK. Enough about the past. Let’s talk a bit about the future, and the next post will be about Entertainment News. Till date, I still have no idea about where I would go for the rest of my two-year service. Anywhere is possible, it seems, and that means I’m prone to hitting any vocation I desire/don’t desire. Yeah. Hope for the best is the only thing I can do, and what vocation I get will determine (I emphasise again, dear guests) whether I will give a treat to my dear cousins. Haha…

Cya guys then, for now. Next post is on Entertainment News for the past month. Big gaps need to be covered, you know. Especially when you guys still do not notice I have a new CPU?? (Audience: Really?) Whiskey Taurus Foxtrot… (Credits to Kahwee :))

[P.S.: You guys need pics- (Audience: NO!) Oh yah, I shouldn’t place another to out-glam myself… (Audience: |||…)]

Sunday Evening Report: Got To Go

I noticed I have not been writing anything for the past two weeks, besides posting a picture of the fact that I got myself a new CPU. Eh… I’ll get back to it soon, but seeing it I’m close to POP, I think I should keep all my emotions till… next week? I promise I’ll write something next weekend! OK? Cya~

Saturday Night Report: Finally!


Finally! Tell you guys I’ve been waiting ages for this to happen to my com!
Now is to maintain it. Really. I must stop using those ******* software already…

Weekly entry to come tomorrow. I’m just busy with the new com I had. Yesh. It’s officially MINE. Muahahahahaha…

Sunday Morning Report: I Wasted Yesterday

Hi guys. It’s been some time. OK, just four days, but don’t make it sound bad. Next week’s not gonna be short, but since I passed IPPT I get to book out early, so you’re in luck. (Audience: What luck? You still type your entry on-) OK shall we not focus on that and carry on with life? (Audience: Hmph.)

ENTERTAINMENT NEWS

ANIME
Eh… I’ve talked about Hyouka, so let’s talk about Sakamichi. It’s just great. It’s progressively better in its storyline, and I agree with the author in Random Curiosity: It’s about love. It touched me again man, just like how Toradora! did to my 15-year-old heart. Haha. It’s been some time, and I’m interested in the ending. It’s gonna be great, right?

Natsuiro Kiseki is another episode of… fun? Yeah, the girls find themselves with their younger entities (haha like I care, I’m not a paedophile) as they go to a haunted house… apparently with their elder selves as ghosts. Haha. Lame~ *shows lame sign*

MUSIC
I’m now going through Corrinne May’s new album (not so new, no one reminded me to review it weeks ago), and yeah it’s kinda good. Especially the song “Crooked Lines” itself, also the album title, which describes her daughter at her young age, which is also part of her inspiration. Quite good, but not worthy of mention… yet. The PV for Sambomaster’s new single is out, and it’s good and touching. New songs have been introduced with previews, including Ikimono, Chatmonchy and SCANDAL. Sounds okay, but then I need to hear full songs to determine them? Yeah? We’ll see about it…

On the Chinese side… I haven’t have time to listen. Later going out with cousin to assemble a new CPU, so I doubt I have time for songs… nor the new com. Haiz… (Audience: Need another day leave?) *nods like dog* (Audience: Haha good boy…)

SHOWS
Haha MythBusters continues next week, so I cannot comment. About gunslingers if I’m not wrong…

MANGA
Good Ending I mentioned liao, about BLEACH… it’s getting somewhere, I guess? Sternritters have been introduced, but no fights yet. Get it soon man. And one thought piques me. If they’re named by alphabets, don’t tell me there are 26 of them? Then 13 captains of Gotei 13 versus 26 Sternritters… man as if these shinigamis stand a chance. Not until Ichigo comes, I guess? I duno. Everything is… in the air at the moment…

 

 

Yeah you guys are probably wondering about the progress of APoL. (Audience: Not really…) Eh… true. I’ve not gotten into it yet. But I’ve planned the story liao, so I’ll get writing next week, or just write it in the camp if possible. If I write it well it’s gonna be interesting. *silence* Writers, anyone?

Eh… since I’m busy playing a tablet game and listening to Corrinne May I guess I’ll leave you guys alone. And I think instead of APoL I need to plan for what to write about. Apparently I’m just updating about the things I enjoy after I bookout. And THAT is not the point of this diary. Wait. It’s a report, isn’t it? *Audience nods* Oops.

Cya guys then. Next week I promise a better entry. I’ve got a lot going through my mind, and sadly it only stays on the deep, dark corners until I’m in camp. Until next time… enjoy your life. I just wasted a day playing a stupid game… Really…

[P.S.: You guys need a pic- (Audience: NO!) OK…]
