ORANGE RANGE - SAYONARA

This PV is really nice, entirely worth the long wait. Highly recommended. It's cute and funny and heartbreaking by turns. It's very reminiscent of Ah Sang's Ye Zi MV! Only nicer. And the song is just fantastic. If only ORANGE RANGE would do more of these 'ballads'...

Especially posted for my lao-gong because she's my only fellow ORANGE RANGE fan! Ahahaha~~

lyrics translation

As always, the moon tonight
Shines on me, alone in my bed
Yearning for you, I mumbled to myself
In the world in my pillow
You're always smiling and singing to me
You're beautiful, I murmured in your ear

I'll awaken the memories of those days that I locked away
And bravely face tomorrow
For you, who gave me this love
I've just got to open the door and move on
Now I'll say goodbye to that couple in love
Who said "I hate you" and "I love you"

It's too late now, but thank you
Thank you
For quietly and gently supporting me
Across time I send you my thanks now
Unable to be honest with myself, I'd locked away
The album in my heart, but now I opened it up
And as I faced forward, the memories smiled at me

It was a sunny day when I first saw you
It felt like everything was breaking inside me
With a slim hope, I confessed my feelings to you
The crickets were so loud
Did you hear me?
But you just nodded and gave me a small smile

There are no unnecessary tears
They're a medicine for getting stronger
I can now laugh
At this future that will never come

It's too late now, but thank you
Thank you
For quietly and gently supporting me
Across time I send you my thanks now
Unable to be honest with myself, I'd locked away
The album in my heart, but now I opened it up
And as I faced forward, the memories smiled at me

The map of the future we made together
And the tears of being unable to forgive
Look, our footprints are like a three-legged race
Nothing was useless
Don't throw away your love
Don't forget the joy of being loved
Keep your smile, just like that day
Because you're so pretty when you smile
Don't cry, don't cry
If I yell till my voice is hoarse, it will reach you
Start walking, start walking
The memories are with me
Clutching everything, I'll go

I'll go

I have been seeing my classmates everyday. Especially this Yinghui, whom I think is seriously considering co-habitating with me. I bet she loves ner NEW mp3s. I bet she loves my comics (I dumped a lot of my TRC and Bleach manga on her. Which reminds me, I must catch up with the TRC manga! Because of Fai! And I must read DeathNote! *gasp*). And guess just WHO uploaded the schweet pics in the end?

*drum-roll* ME! (surprise, surprise!)

Jack and Jill went up the hill.


And the rooftop.


Yinghui is head over heels in love with me.



Love them lots! <3

Watched like FOUR hours of TV yesterday in one sitting, which is the first time in FOREVER, I think. =) Can't wait for VivoCity tomorrow! I hope Nana wears her fake e_e_a_h_s!

IT ENDS TODAY!

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!! I am so happy! My A levels are finally over. YAY! But I seriously screwed up a lot of papers! My prelims were much better... okay, I'm not going there. I am so NOT going to think about it until March next year. Besides, I still have insomnia to worry about.

Insomnia is really scary. You can be really really tired and yet your brain keeps revolving and so you can't rest at all. And because of that, you can't study. And because of that, all your studying plans are ruined and possibly your future will be ruined. And because you worry_THAT_much, you become so depressed that you start crying every afternoon when your weariness reaches its peak. And at night, you start worrying that you can't sleep and because you are so stressed up about it PLUS the exams you can't sleep even more. It's a vicious cycle.

It's really bad. You never, ever want to get insomnia.

Plus my body is so qiang2 that it has developed resistance to tranquilizers and sleeping pills. So... I dunno. I realize this is a long and tough battle I must fight on my own. It's so easy to fall into a pit and yet so tough to climb out of it.

Boooooo... Only slept like 2.5 hours yesterday (and I'm still so energized. I'm not human.)

Oh but today was great. I'm so glad I suggested that Yinghui bring her cam along so that we can take pics in NY in our browny school uniforms for the final time. We combed NYJC's hillsides (rectilinear slopes) and romped about on the rooftops and took a couple of really really schweet photos. I hope that Yinghui won't be so sloooooowww to upload them.

And after that we went to dine at New York New York for Mel and Shaun's birthday =) It was all really very nice. The food was really just okay and the price was crazy but... felt quite cosy tucked into the seat with so many people around~ Didn't think I would feel very 'high' after the examinations but in the end I did after all~

AH~ So many activities lined up. *excited* AND THERE'S TAIWAN!

...only... I still have insomnia... =(

OH MY GOODNESS. *excited*

IT'S OUT IT'S OUT! 'Hitoiro' by Mika Nakashima representing Nana Oosaki. Mika is my favourite Japanese singer! She totally does not disappoint. SHE CAN SING LA. (The only problem I have with Mika is her make-up =p)And I love this MV because it has scenes from the movie NANA 2!! AHHH! I simply can't wait to watch it! But I bet it's not going to be shown in Singapore...

OH AND LOOK AT THE NEW ACTOR FOR SHIN-CHAN.





WAII~~ So much better than the previous 20 year-old actor! Hongo Kanata is 16 so he fits 15 year old Shin perfectly. I'm so happy since Shin-chan is one of my favourite characters from NANA! But... I bet they aren't going to give Shin a big role... Since the actor's only 16 and um, in the manga Shin does a lot of things 15 year olds_don't_do. Hm. =(

Comparison with manga-Shin:

Man2 xiang4 de, dui4 ba! <3

Oh, and Hongo Kanata also happens to be the actor for Echizen Ryoma (main character) for the Prince of Tennis movie. I went 'WAI~~' when I saw him in it too... until about half an hour into the show. He's simply irritating in that movie because he has this poker face ALL THE TIME. (Yes, I wanna watch the Prince of Tennis movie. It's on youtube but without subs. BUT it's alright because the main point of the movie is the CUTE GUYS~~)

Here I shall declare my love for the Nana that we all know in case she gets jealous because almost the whole of this entry is dedicated to NANA but not to her ;)

And YES. My exams are NOT OVER YET. IT IS NOT FAIR. This is discrimination, DISCRIMINATION AGAINST ART STUDENTS, I say. XP People are out there celebrating and rejoicing and I'm only just starting to count down.

So.

FIVE.
