Flooding Orchard Road... a Heartless Me...and an Arashi caught by an Arashi

Ok, so the whole office is now abuzz with news that Orchard Road is badly affected by a flash flood.  *huggs* shokim  for being worried about me being affected.  But nope ^ o ^ I am not affected at all. 

I know I am bad, but I can't help but think about Post Flood Sales... Would they have any?? ^ v ^

And I heard that Hermes at Liat Tower is also affected... OMG!! @.@  Would we at last be able to get our hands on THAT BAG??!!!  But knowing Hermes, they might just burn the damaged goods...

Anyway, I had to go online to see the photos of a badly flooded Orchard Road for myself... and gosh it was bad...

But what really caught my eyes and had me excited, was this 

YES!! It is JUN!!! 

^ o ^  Can we call this a sitting duck?  wahahahaha!!   

This picture is even more classic than the ones that pettomomo  and I took earlier on!! wahahahaha!! 

Arashi caught in an Arashi, and trapped by an Arashi!!

Laughing out loud at reporters who can't get their facts right...

At this point of this entry, I should really be vetting a budget paper and answering politely the really *duh* questions that a couple of my acquaintences are asking... but faithez  texted about this ridiculous report about Nino's not too long accident, now then reported in one of our less creditable tabloids...saying that Nino's accident was actually quite major, and that the woman was actually very badly injured... blah blah blah...

Well, that followed a couple of sms exchanges, which got my poor abused brain cells back to its perky form... Lolxxxx... I told Faith that we should just write to the papers to tell them their report, which they lifted, probably from some crappy jap magazine was seriously flawed.  The truth is, the woman was a crazed fan, who totally supports KT-TUN and she threw herself at Nino's car, with the hope of blackmailing Johnny to let Jin stay and continue to develop his solo career in the US....

Now for once, I am so supportative of this crazed KT-TUN fan... ^ o ^ ... Yes! PLEASE LET JIN STAY IN THE US!! 
His GOING has given his long sufffering band mates NO MORE PAIN!! 

Oh, I also told Faith, that we can still execute that plan that shokim has cracked up with... throwing ourselves infront of Arashi's cars... Yes, although they are banned from driving, they are still getting drivers right... so imagine, we start going to Meguro and started throwing ourselves in front of the car that all 5 are in... wahahha... lolxxxxx...

BUT WAIT!   Throwing oneself in front of cars, is equivalent to jumping out of a perfectly good plane/ jumping with a rope tied to the ankle off a building... hmmm... on second thought... Faith dearie, if you are reading this... I think we should rethink this plan of throwing ourselves in front of cars in Meguro...  We stick to the other plan of applying to be their drivers, feeder, changer, bather, and of course, bed-tucker... ^ o ^...

I shall now get back to work... and the quote of the day at work today, is...

"Stupidity is genetic. With the proper training, it will be perfected."

I am in LOVE ♥♥♥♥♥

I have totally fallen heads over heels in love!! 

************************************************************************************************************************

While out at lunch today, I received a text message from pettomomo .  

************************************************************************************************************************

The contents of her message were as follow:

************************************************************************************************************************

I dreamt that Arashi came to your house and I was responsible for phoning them.  So I managed to get Jun, Aiba, Nino and Ohno to your house.  Aiba was so cheerful when he said "ohayoo" to me on the phone.  But Sho sounded sleepy and didn't manage to make it to your house.  But yes, all four members were sitting on your room's bed ;) then I woke up~~~~~ ♥♥♥♥♥

************************************************************************************************************************

Now, how can I not be in love with such a dream!!! It is a dream come true for a dream!! All four of them in my room, sitting on my bed!!! 

♥♥♥♥♥~~~~~kyaaa~~~~~ ♥♥♥♥♥

************************************************************************************************************************

Now, I only need to get pettomomo  to tell me, were they fully dressed, partially dressed, or just waiting to be undressed...

************************************************************************************************************************

Oh, and my reply to her was:

Sho is excused for not turning up, since he had just spent the night...

************************************************************************************************************************

First Jun... then Nino...

From Asahi Daily:

「嵐」の二宮さんの車が自転車と衝突、自転車の女性軽傷

　４日午後０時半ごろ、東京都目黒区上目黒１丁目の交差点で、人気アイドルグループ「嵐」のメンバー二宮和也さん（２６）が運転する乗用車が自転車の女性（３６）と衝突した。女性は左足に軽い打撲を負った。二宮さんにけがはなかった。目黒署が取材に明らかにした。

　同署によると、現場は信号機のない交差点で、二宮さんが直進したところ、自転車と出合い頭に衝突したという。

In brief, slightly after midnight (0030h) on 4 June 2010, in the vicinity of Meguro (sounds familiar right), at a cross junction, where there were no traffic lights, the car driven by Nino collided with a female cyclist.  
The female cyclist had　suffered injuries to her foot.

In another news article,  http://news.tbs.co.jp/newseye/tbs_newseye4444470.html ,  it was reported that the female cyclist required hospitalisation and was expected to make a full recovery in a week's or so time. The investigating police had said that the Nino's carelessness was probably the main cause of the accident.  

More reports at the following sites:

First Jun, now Nino.... this would have been funnier, if not for the severity of the situation... Unlike Jun's incident which was a fender bender, this time, someone got injured... Isumi chan said that she read in another article that police is treating it as a case of Inflicting Injury.... arghhh!!!     She said depending on the severity of the incident, he will probably receive some warnings and demerit points...  even so... and Poor Darling's birthday is just round the corner!!!   _{(double  after his recent disaster at Rolling Coin Tower.... we need to send him massive amount of LOVE!!!)}

_{are there some conspiracies by some crazy stalker fans in Japan, who are just out to throw themselves into the paths of the boys' cars!!... Sho! Aiba! Please be really careful!!! Ohno darling, you too... they might start throwing themselves infront of your fishing rods!!!   Can't we plead that the woman is suspected to be an alien and Nino was just instinctively playing out his role in Gantz...}

But I guess, like what shokim  had pointed out, at least now, we know where to go, if we want to "bump" into Arashi...Yup....  Meguro...

I can't even finish scanning my newly bought non no with Sakuraba, as I was so worried about this... sigh...

Stalking, Hunting, Acquiring Jun! ^o^

Ok, not counting those crazy 3 or 4-day overseas trips (including that memorable one to Sapporo), this afternoon, had probably been the craziest ever in my entire life. 

It all started with an innocent tweet from Jessica, proclaiming that she saw Jun on a bus in Singapore's busy Orchard... @.@ ... How can I not have HQ photos of such!?

After further tweeting and sms-ing, it was decided that today, we will stalk and hunt Jun... and the results...

 

A quick lunch at Liang Court's Okinawa Diner (I was craving for their milk pudding, but seemed that they had stopped serving it now =( ...) , and some side-tracking - Maguro Cutting Demonstration - we finally made our way to Toa Payoh Bus Interchange, where the bus which Jun had appeared on, was to make it's final/ first stop.

We arrived at around 3pm, and plonked ourselves right next to the alight/ boarding point for Bus 143.

Ok, we really did not do that much homework... Firstly, Jess was too excited over the event of stalking and hunting Jun, while I am totally not familiar with bus schedules, etc.   It has been a really really long time since I had taken MRT, much less the bus...

To cut a very very long story short, after 2 and a half hours of false hopes, waiting and pining, finally!!!
 

At around 5.15pm,or so, we were to excited to notice the actual time…    Bus Number 143, with Jun arrived!! (as expected of the Oji sama, he really took his own time arriving!! )

After everyone got off the bus, Jess and I started our "photography" session with Jun... I am just going to pic spam... =)

            

We even went into the bus, to take photos of the various posters within… ^v^  

     

And yes, Jess’s hands were shaking with excitement throughout… ^o^… It was a wonder that she actually managed to tweet properly and to hold both our cameras steady… =)

 

I had to of course wear purple, the only colour befitting of this wonderful hunting party!!

         

The final word for today, Mission Accomplished.  Prey *ahem* Acquired!  ^o^

Wink*Wink

I had mentioned in the previous entry, a colleague was in Japan, and got back to the office with 2 surprise gifts for me...

I am so very the happy, as one of them is the elusive Anan #1706, which were totally sold out in Singapore, even though there were no naked men in them...

That wink... ~~~kyaaa~~~ 

<--- and yes, with this, I shamelessly acknowledge him as me ichiban (for the moment).  And I have Jun's approval and agreement to being upstaged by his beloved Riida ^ v ^

 

And of course, one must have close-ups!

   

*happys*  I shall consider scanning GQ tomorrow... or not... =p 

This * That * Here * There

I spent the whole day sleeping yesterday, suffering from a really bad migraine, which is still lingering somehow this morning... but splitting or not, I still have to come in to work today, which was good, because a colleague came back from Japan and unexpectedly, brought me presents... the latest issue of Anan and June's issue of GQ...

I like the pictures taken for GQ... somehow, to me, COOL has been redefined. ^ v ^

As for Anan... ~~~kyaaa~~~ ... Ohno has such an adorable face and that *wink* ... if Jun is the epitome of sexy, when he winks, then, Ohno, would in a way, epitomises cute, with his wink.... How I wish I was near to a scanner now!! I would really love to scan that picture and include it in this entry right now, then to wait for later, when I get home.  ~~~arghhhh~~~ I need to scheme, and find a way to get meself a scanner right next to me desk... =p

Heard from shokim  yesterday morning, that SMAP will be conducting their first overseas concert in Shanghai's World Expo on 13 June 2010.  A quick check on the website confirmed it.  But unlike usual JE concerts, this one will only last 90mins and tickets are FREE! (I wonder how much they are paying Uncle Johnny for this deal... that or Uncle is really desperate to gain a foot-hold in China and what better way than to do at World Epxo,,,) ... Mel is due to give birth in June and while we both think it would be interesting - having SMAP stop the concert to help her deliver -  the logistics and the news coverage would be too much to handle =p, plus SC would probably think the two of us as being unsound of mind... Also, I am not that enthusiastic about having to join a queue comprising predominantly of mainlanders - I am not zenophobic, non anti-mainlanders,  but being in a queue with them... sigh... I have experienced before - plus, all hotel rates have gone sky-high because of the Expo, and I really do not want to trouble GL, even though I am quite certain she would not mind me staying at her place.

In other news (hahaha I really wanted to use this phrase), as reported by matsubunny , sales of the 5x10 Anniversary Tour has been doing really well, passing the 600k mark... now I wonder if this will be the DVD to pass the 1 million mark?  I do hope it will be!! 

That would make their 11th year just as special as their 10th and just as lively as the 9th... for like what Ohno had mentioned once.  When everyone is gearing up for the 10th year, the 9th looks and feels kinda of lonely, and he had hoped for many more things for the 9th year... similiarly, after the bang and the bash of the 10th year, the 11th, would naturally be quiet... and it might just be lonely, for all we know... so, it would be nice and fitting to have just as much to celebrate in the 11th year... 

A new Mario Kart CM was released yesterday ^ v ^... I am getting to like this MatsuMiya pairing... but some parts of my heart aches for other  ~~Miya pairings... I would love to see a SakuMiya and a MasaMiya... I was tempted to rant about it on FB, but was "worried" about someone rushing off to buy me the game ^o^ HL saw my previous status update and had taken the effort to find out what it was =p, before learning that all Japanese games are region locked and I might not be able to play it on my Wii console ...
 

* * * * *

I finally managed to do dinner with Yuko and Isumi, plus their families, before Yuko jets off for her two weeks holiday in Europe (hoshi!!!)... it was a fun dinner... and I managed to learn more about the slingbox thingy, which is really worthy of do more indepth checks into, given that it will benefit not just me, but also Isumi, Yuko and probably a dozen or more so people... Will just have to wait patiently for Yuko to come back from her holiday (hoshi!!!) 
 

* * * * *

My May schedule is looking rather packed now, and the slots in the later part of the year, are also starting to fill themselves up.  While there are no major meetings, except for a trip to Australia, there are quite a number of small but nonetheless, complicated events  here and there.  Well, at least I am going to be pretty much occupied, and that is good.  Furthermore Min has promised to help me organise my HDDs, which after the 2 challenge weeks, are all in one huge big mess, during her semester break... so that is good...

Guess all I have to wait for now, is for the Storm to announce if they are doing concerts these years and find my way to one of them, whether in Japan or somewhere in Asia... =p 

Yawnzzz...

Today is only Tuesday...

Gosh... I can't believe things are just moving so slowly... and I am supposed to be really busy and all, especially with the meeting and the papers as well as the budget review...

How my bed and pillows are missing me, only they will know.  I am sure that they are weeping their hearts and eyes out, pinning for me to come and visit them...

Anywayz, before the crazy week started... wait, the week really did only just start >.< ,  I had decided to once again make use of my poor under utilised scanner/ printer/ fax/ etc...

I posted most of them onto Arashian.com, but decided that I need to put them onto my LJ too, and give myself a lovely pat on the head... what a good girl I am... ^0^

My desktop has the following as my new wallpaper... and I can't stop staring at it...

And then on saturday afternoon, the post man delivered a box... and it was only then that I realised that I had actually bought WinkUp April 2010... Well, it was not that bad a choice, considering the stack of pretty photos there...

 

 

 

 

 

O.o clamp down is on...

Well, I guess by now the news have Stormed across the fandom... if it had not, well, for those who have been behaving irresponsibly, I hope you get the message sooner or later...

Even since Arashi's J-net video was streamed, it appears JE had taken a couple of actions.  

As of today, all Arashi FC members would have received notifications that video messages have been stopped on J-net. 

And if anyone bothered to check YT, they would have noticed that most if not all Arashi related files, have been removed.  Including quite a number of fanvids and music rips. 

I wonder how long this wave of clamp down will last, and how wide and deep Uncle Johnny is going to go with this Operation Delete. 

And now I am worried whether the various communities and their sub-teams, out there are going to be affected.  I sure pray that they would not be affected and that enough protection have been put in place to secure and protect all the efforts and hard work that had been put in by so many over the years.

I know that some people are saying that JE should sue DC, mysoujo, veoh, etc.  However, it might be easier for JE to just threaten a couple of individuals or Communities, just to send a signal to the rest. 

My analysis ~~ secret, hush hush sharing, are tolerated.  In fact some fans with access to such information ~~ like the J-net, like those kind of privileges.  However once someone starts to stream and actively promote such contents, the exclusitvity is lost and JE tends to get really paranoid about it.  

I am not sure how they are going to control the rampant "stealing" once Arashi starts moving into China. 

But as of now, we do know that the Old Man had spoken and had decided to send a signal. 

Just cross your fingers and pray that this wave will end soon and that those affected are only those who had streamed contents onto YT. 

~~ sigh~~ 

Junified~~~ ♥

My weekend was junified. 

Three days of WnR and no stop cooking... I am surprised that I did not burn the stove or the kitchen... Tiring, but meecha fun and happy!  Especially when watching with people who understands why you are screaming and sighing over certain scenes and shots. 

I did however prove another thing.  If I am careful and focused enough, I can cook.   Of course, it is easier, when the recipes are provided by 5 cute adorable men... or by someone funny like Jamie Oliver... In fact, I think the ever only remotely successful dishes that I had cooked, were from watching Jamie Oliver and Arashi... lolxxxx... Now, who says Arashi can't cook?  >.<

I was going to post the pictures of what I had cooked... but my eyes are killing me now, so I will probably update this entry when I am more sane.  

I need to go to sleep now, as tomorrow I have a rather heavy day of meetings and planning.   Arghh!!!  And I just saw an email regarding changes to a meeting... can't they just make up their minds??  I have Arashi Concerts to attend this year!!! Keep away from those dates!!! 

And now I lay myself to bed and dream hentai arashi dreams....
