t'was the night of our baito

T'was the night of our Baito,
When all thru the night,
We became karaoke siaos,
Then to Maxwell for a bite.

As we parted our ways,
Four waited for a ride.
Long it was in the rain,
Past midnight, a taxi arrived.

- Henry Rogers

... of taxis, pets and nicks

Argh, tonight's taxi really took a really long route. But to be sheltered from the rain is really comforting to know.

And the lightning won't be able to hit me in the rain because I'm 22 years old. Proof? The gods got so angry that I found out this secret, and made us wait for an hour for a taxi. In the rain. Tired.

But happy!

*Salute!* is my first nick that doesn't require you to open your mouth to call me. Wow.

Just when you thought 七里香 was beautiful, in pops 骑 李湘... *slaps forehead*

pg - it's not...!

"Flying Without Wings" lah! Not "Frying Without Wings"!

... of christmas songs

Today went out for dinner, and this restuarant was playing Christmas songs. I mean those karaoke types on television like when you go for karaoke. Damn bad video...

Anyway, realised I only know 9 of the 15 Christmas songs. This means these 22 years I only got to know 60% or less of all the classic Christmas songs out there.

Hey, I can't help it if there are titles like "Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer"!

Hmm... this year "All I Want For Christmas" by Mariah C. and "Blue Christmas" by Bon Jovi are still going to vie for number one on my Favourite Christmas Song Chart.

... of running

Yeah! This is my first time bringing my iPod along with me for my run.

Of course, I was careful about it, since iPod uses a hard drive. There were quite a lot of concern over whether it would damage the iPod in the long run. But research helps, and I brought it along, knowing how iPod uses its small flash drive it has with the HD.

Running along to Eurobeats was fantastic. You no longer need to pace yourself; the beat does it for you. And of course, I strode along to the heart-thumping tunes from Initial D Stage 1 like "Space Boy" and "No One Sleeps In Tokyo". But then "Heartbeat" had so many beats I almost died of a heart attack listening to/following it... *GASP*

And no, I did not blast the music, y'all. "Not good for your ears!" I know, I know. And I didn't want to not able to hear someone saying, "EXCUSE ME!" jin pai seh leh...

Outran an OCS guy! Woohoo! Officers... PUI!

... of dreams

Been having continuous nights of nightmares lately.

Thank you Hikki, for a song that stirs the passion in my heart. The fall of sakura petals, the drums that echo, my Queen. I'll finally be able to sleep well this night.

PASSION

(by Utada Hikaru)

思い出せば遥か遥か
未来はどこまでも輝いてた
きれいな青空の下で
僕らは少しだけ怯えていた

懐かしい色に窓が染まる

前を向いてればまた会えますか
未来はどこへでも続いてるんだ
大きな看板の下で
時代の移ろいを見ていたいな

二度と会えぬ人に場所に
窓を開ける

思い出せば遥か遥か
未来はどこまでも輝いてた
きれいな青空の下で
僕らはいつまでも眠っていた

ずっと前に好きだった人
冬に子供が生まれるそうだ
昔からの決まり事を
たまに疑いたくなるよ
ずっと忘れられなかったの
年賀状は写真付きかな
わたしたちに出来なかったことを
とても懐かしく思うよ

don't ask

Don't ask why my heart beats so fast.
You don't ask why the stars shine,
Or why dreams are sweet.
Don't ask why I love you.

... of matters late

Alot of things happened lately, but I'm back!

1) I don't have free time. I manage mine better than you do.

2) I've lost my old self, so I gotta build myself from scratch. Yoroshiku onegaishimasu. (Unless Rina's got a clue where I was...)

3) The reason I've been using white fonts is to ease myself for a transition. I KNOW not to use white fonts against bright bckgrd. I'm stupid, not dumb. (Oh, that stupidity remains in the new me. Live with it.)

4) My friends have Realists as good friends. Good.

5) How to remove the 7 Sins? By abandoning Ego.

6) I have great recovery skills. Don't look down on me.

7) Those who have seen GTO manga will know how I got my blog title. Yoroshiku indeed!

8) Love the fonts, so not planning to change. Hope the colours and design are dull enough. Revamp will only take place after exams.

9) Gd luck for exams to all except Vinc who has already completed his. I know I'll need it. Let me know how your exams turn out, ya?

Enjoy my "inspiration" during my studies of history of Japan! Out.

life of a japanese emperor

(Sing along to Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive")
(and try to imagine the Emperor dancing John Travolta style, with his servants doing backup dancing with featherdusters and tea pots...)

At first I was afraid,
I was petrified.
Kept thinking I could never live
With that sword by your side.
And then you killed the rest,
And next you left me here alive.
Ieyasu...
Wonder if you're a bane or a boon.

And now you're back
From Osaka,
With Hideyoshi's head and even
His wife tied down to your bed.
I should have set a marriage law...
I should have set monogamy...
But if I really did,
Dear God, what will happen to me?!

Go on now, walk out the door.
You are Shogun now,
Don't ask for gay marriages anymore.
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye?
You think I'd crumble?
You think I'd lay down for thy...?
Oh no, not I!
I will survive!
As long as I know how to "做！"
I know I will stay alive!
I've got all my life to live,
I've got all my love to give,
And I'll survive,
I will survive!

It took all my wives I had
Not to fall apart.
Kept trying hard to mend
The pieces of my broken heart.
And I spent oh so many nights
With Hideyoshi's son,
And some of the mornings
With Hideyoshi's buns.
Now you see me
Somebody new!
I'm not that chained up little person
Still in love with you.
And so you felt like dropping in
And just expect me to be free.
Now I'm saving all my loving
For your dogs that are loving me.
(hey hey hey, stop rubbing against me till the song's over, dammit!)

I will survive!
As long as I know how to "干！"
I know I will stay alive!
I've got all my life to live,
I've got all my love to give,
And I'll survive,
I will survive!

mambo nights

(Sing along to Bon Jovi's "Blaze of Glory")
For mambosexuals!

I wake up in the morning
And I raise my drunken head.
Got a drink jug for a pillow
And the road was last night's bed.
I don't know where I'm going,
Only God knows where I've done:
Jugging down magaritas,
Long Island Lover,
A night of Mambo fun... YEAH!!

When you're brought into Z-Zouk
They say you're born "Ah Beng".
Well, at least they gave me two drinks
With 20 bucks of enterance's pay.
And played without a warning
"Love in the 1st Degree"!
Then followed by "Square Rooms",
And "Summer Rain",
My hands starts to move with glee...

I'm going down in a blaze of Mambo!
Dance right now, or learn the moves.
I'm going down in a blaze of dancing!
Lord I never danced hard,
But my arms grooved hard
All the way till three.
That's me - MB.

You ask me about my talents
And I offer you Retro.
You ask if I'll grow out of Mambo
Well I ask if I'll grow old.
You ask me if I known love,
And what it's like to pick up at the bar.
Well, I've seen love come,
And I've seen it get drunk,
I've seen it get too far.

Too far in a blaze of Mambo!
Dance right now, or learn the moves.
I'm going down in a blaze of dancing!
Lord I never danced hard,
But my arms grooved hard
All the way till three.
That's me - MB.

Each night I go to bed,
I pray the Lord my soles to keep.
No, I ain't looking for forgiveness,
But before I'm six foot deep...
Lord, I got to ask a favour,
And I'll hope you'll understand.
'Cause I've lived nights to the fullest,
Let the boy control the dance.
Staring down the dance floor
As I take the podium stand...

Go down in a blaze of Mambo!
Dance right now, or learn the moves.
I'm going down in a blaze of dancing!
Lord I never danced hard,
But my arms grooved hard
All the way till three.
That's me - MB.

... of my first baito

My heart is so sour.

I miss Reika, Erika, Misako, Yuichi and Horu Otoko Mai Chisato!
:'(

... of first times

These past weeks have been a period of many firsts.

First time meeting Japanese students.
First time going to do Baito.
First time having a lecturer purposely giving 50 percent when I scored only 35 percent. (PURPOSELY, not count wrongly.)
First time having a terrifying toliet experience.
First time having a comm problem.
First time getting the highest essay grade possible in Film and History.

All these mean one thing: First time I'll actually fail my exams.

But my guts are telling me otherwise. No signs telling me otherwise too. *wonder wonder*

36°C

36° when it rains.
36° when you're sad.
36° when we stroll.
36° when I'm glad.
36° when the sun goes down.
36° when the bus comes round.
36° when we say goodbye.
36° are the tears we cry.

- Henry Rogers

... of speaking

I should be dumb.
I'm not going to open my mouth for useless words anymore.

I don't want to hurt anyone anymore.

pg - quoting

Almost put "The Godfarter". Phew....
