New year has come and I have new plans and buy new things!
Bea's UP magazine Jan issue will arrive at Kinokuniya on 4th Jan at 8pm! The cover features none other than... Ayumi Hamasaki
5th Jan is important for me because Ayu's first commercial pendant is being sold on mu-mo.net and I must grab it. The sale starts at 1700 SG time and I will camp at home to place an order! too bad I cant wear earrings if not i will grab it too!
Hope the Shure x2u preamplifier will come to the store soon so I can record better quality voice hehe...
Ayumi's new singles has been released and I love all the new songs especially "You were..." which I attempted to sing :)
Ballad which is a theme song in one of a Disney fairy movie sounds very chinese oriental.
Then a song specially written for Team Ayu member's titled Red Line which is a lively light hearted song that brings peace in my mind :)
NTU exam results released on 30th and guessed wat haha this is my best sem for all the four years in NTU. Whew! All are expected except for HRM EE4041 which I got only a C what the hell waste my time man doing all the shit work... I am the class rep somemore... they say have bonus marks for being class rep... but on the good side haha I got Bs for other subjects! I realised that listening to music while studying really helps me a huge load! and to study near exam not too early... haiz too late to realised that now as its my final sem for the next 4 months... Can only work my best to maintain the grades haha... As I said Ayumi is my inspiration! following her ways will make me better!
Just bought another Vivi Magazine Feb issue which has Ayu on the cover! And file of the same size so that I can carry Jap magazines when i go out to read while travelling!
The countdown is so great! I was catching NHK JP live at 6.15pm SG time the " Kōhaku Uta Gassen / 紅白歌合戦 / Red and White Song Battle " haha and Ayumi was the first singing RULE! the show last till 10.00pm SG time
Then I switch to TBS JP at 10.45pm for the CDTV countdown show! EXILE was on the show thoroughout the super long show of 6 hours till 4am! hehe my endurance is good I watched the whole show! Haha... and Ayumi appeared at 1.36pm! She sang You Were... and Rule. Her pink dress is so nice! With a big flower decoration on her hair!
Now waiting for her album to be announced coming this sem! I read somewhere that Japanese CDs are better in quality because they demagnetise the blanks cds before recording the albums hehe thats why I hear a lot of difference from the Singapore album and the Japan one! Japan CDs FTW!
Thats all for now! Ja mata ne!
Happy new year to u! All the best for this year!

Kanji:
ふたりの距離がすごく 縮まった 気持ちがした
自然に腕が組めて 冷えた空 見あげた時に
コンビニでお茶選んで 当たり前に分けあって
きみの胸にくるまれている
ずっと ずっと そばにいて
大好きなきみを 見つめてたい
Snowflakes きみの暖もりは
冬の贈り物 ほら 雪だよ
どこかで辛いことや 淋しさに ぶつかっても
きみ想うこの気持ちに 正直でいると誓うよ
メゲるとこれ聴けよって 貸してくれたCDは
きみがくれた 歌のラヴレター
ずっと ずっと 言いたくて
付きあってくれて ねぇ ありがとう
もっと 好きなヒト強く
抱きしめなさいと 雪は降るの
贈り物を探しながら 結ぶはずのない気持ちが
結びあえたことの不思議 感じてた
ずっと ずっと そばにいて
同じ夢さがす 旅をしたい
Snowflakes 空が 街角に
白い息を吐く ほら 雪だよ
The white white snow's coming tonight
Make a wish upon your kiss

Daisuki na kimi wo mitsumetetai
Snowflakes kimi no nukumori wa

Doko ka de tsurai koto ya sabishisa ni butsukatte mo
Kimi omou kono kimochi ni shoujiki de iru to chikau yo
MEGEru to kore kike yotte kashite kureta CD wa
Kimi ga kureta uta no RABU RETAA
Zutto zutto iitekute
Tsuki atte kurete nee arigatou
Motto suki na HITO tsuyoku
Dakishime nasai to yuki wa furu no
Okuri mono wo sagashi nagara musubu hazu no nai kimochi ga

Snowflakes sora ga machikado ni

The white white snow’s coming tonight
Make a wish upon your kiss.
English:
I felt as if the distance between us had gotten a lot smaller
As we looked up at the chilly sky, arms linking unconsciously
At the convenience store we choose a tea and share it as usual
With me wrapped in your chest
Stay by my side forever, forever
I want to keep gazing at my beloved you
Snowflakes, your warmth
Is winter’s gift; look, it’s snowing
Even if I run into pain and loneliness somewhere
I swear I’ll always make my love for you known
The CD you lent me, saying “Listen to this whenever you’re down”
Is a musical love letter you’ve given me
I’ve always, always wanted to say
Thank you for getting together with me
The snow falls, saying
“Hold the person you love even more”
Looking for a present, I had a mysterious feeling
That even though I hadn’t expected to, I felt even closer to you
Be by my side forever, forever
I want to go on a journey towards the dream we share
Snowflakes, the sky is drawing white breaths
On the street corner; look, it’s snowing
The white, white snow's coming tonight
Make a wish upon your kiss
Wish all happy Christmas!

New Mic Recording
Here's the first mic recording for Ayumi Hamasaki new song "You Were..." Using the new Sony mic :)
Lyrics:
Surechigau koibito tachi ga kata o yoseai aruite ku
Tsumetasa ga mi ni shimiru no wa kimi ga inai kara
Kisetsu sae wasureru kurai hoka ni nani mo ira nai kurai
Sou muchuu de kagayaita no wa koi o shite ita kara
* Kimi ga saigo no hito da to omotta
Kimi to saigo no koi o shi takatta
Konna hiroi yozora no shita hitori
Ittai nani o omoe ba ii no
Ima dare no tonari de egao misete iru no ka da nante
Nee dore hodo no jikan ga tatta ra kurushimi wa owaru no kana
** Itsuka hanashite ta yume no tsuzuki mo
Itsumo itte ita ano kuchiguse mo
Subete wasure rare tara raku da ne
Dakedo hitotsu mo wasure taku nai
Seijaku ni tsutsumare ta shunkan ni osotte kuru
Yasashiku te atataka sugiru omoide ga
* (repeat)
** (repeat)
Dakedo hitotsu mo wasure taku nai
English Translation:
The lovers I pass are walking shoulder to shoulder
I feel it's biting cold, because you are not here
I was shining, because I was in love
I was so carried away that I even forgot the seasons and needed nothing else but you
* I thought you were my last person
I wanted my love for you to be my last one
What on earth should I think of
All alone under such a vast night sky ?
I'm thinking again by whose side you are smiling now
I wonder how much time will pass until my suffering ends
** The thread of the dream you were talking about sometime
That line you always said
It's easier for me to forget them all, isn't it?
But I don’t want to forget a single one
The moment I'm surrounded by silence
I'm hit by the memories, too tender and warm
* (repeat)
** (repeat)

Finally got time to update!
Whew this is a long break from the last post. Too busy with Uni. This is definitely the toughest semester in my 16 years of studies.
Exam is over but FYP continues right after exam!!! But I manage to pamper myself with a influx of 4 japanese fashion magazines. Ya I know they are for girls lol but reading them just makes me happy and fashion is what I like. It is really interesting seeing how the combinations of colours and designs portray the uncountable number of styles. I love winter fashion because I think it is quite hard to be fashionable with the thick clothings. It needs skills haha...
The one on top left has a free pink pouch that attracted me to buy. really a lovely pouch to put my keitai(handphone) and camera. Both Vivi mag contains ayumi's blog.
Then came my Sony microphone which I waited 1+ month for this mic to arrive from Japan! The sound quality is so much better that I feel I am in a studio haha... Now I know how I truly sounded. I always wonder how come I sounded so bad using my old mic. Now I know mic makes a difference. But it cost me 500bucks, my bank is sliced again.
Wednesday I decided to go to buy the bag after going to the Jap theme store "Miya Hayashi" in Orchard Central for the 3rd time. I like the bag too much lolz...
It is the lucky bag season so there is 2 pieces of clothing in the bags. It will be lucky to get a dress cos dresses are costly! And in the end I cheated and ask the salesgirl which one has a dress and she pointed out one. She say the experienced buyers just need to weight the bag to know if there is a dress cos dresses are heavier.
When I got home I open the bag and saw a kawaii dress haha... so happy maybe I can hang it on my wall.
It cost 200bucks so need about 300 to get membership. Jialat need to buy somemore!! She showed me several items like belts.... finally I got the jacket to compliment my plain t-shirts at home.
Now is time to save money again. Hope Chinese new year can get more money!
