Ekkusu no Studio phase 4.1.
Happy 44th birthday, dearest Yoshiki ♥!!
The last time i updated my skin was on Yochan's 43rd birthday, and a year had passed. I'm glad that his surgery went fine and i hope he's recovering well. Don't neglect your therapy, Yochan, and hope to see you next year in China ^^
God bless your abundantly!!

well well, it's my performance so the comment will be, err, from my point of view, haha =P
unlike past performances i've done (SYFs, 160th anniversary of St Marg's, evening of sacred songs at St Andrew's) i didn't feel any anxiety at all prior to the concert day. my anxiety came like as we walked up onto the stage on the evening itself, which was like so late! >"< but i think we sang pretty okay today. not the best, no, i think our best performance was our last rehearsal at the esplanade on tuesday? we peaked waaay too early -_- but it wasn't quite a bad performance, was it? ^_^ well though it wasn't the best, i was pretty much satisfied anyway.
eng kee wasn't at his most laborious conducting just now, which was fine. i've said this to nata, of all my past conductors since secondary school til JC, he was the one whom i pity a lot when i watch his conducting...coz his conducting was so laborious and yet we're still not responding and not reacting enough to his tempo -__-;;; also, never before i've sung without 100% connecting to the conductor, which i often did during practices... but it's either that or i'd be the odd one voice out >"< *sigh* muzukashii na~
marlin, congii, ezer and sbass came to watch. sbass got the foyer seat, which was supposedly one of the most expensive seats (i dunno actually) but he sat alone =p thank you so much for coming people ^__^ next time come again ya, huehehehehe =P
took pics after performance, haha, wasn't really sure e're allowed to do that but, when else man? ^^ marlin brought her slr, so before they went inside we were taking pics outside with the esplanade as the background. before that i was napping after dinner (abis makan, tidur, buset d....)
this is a very unstructured post but... i'm tired -_-;;
for more information please visit http://natael.blogspot.com --> that is if nat obachan blog about today xD haahahaha... obachan, yoroshiku ne~

that okasan capunx is here? xD i think i forgot to blog about it. anyway met her yesterday and while we were waiting at SQ paragon to change her ticket, we were talking about....*drumsrolls*.... manga!
and behold! i found another person who likes gender-bender manga ^____^ so far i only rely on myself to find more gender-bender mangas, and when i found some worth-read ones i only share it with myself...
meaning: nobody around me is interested in that area *sniffs*
but now i found okasan capunx!!! xDDD *dances around with xiaufung* yay~~ bagi2 cerita ya fung xDD
and i think gender-bender genre will always be just one step away from shonen-ai genre... ^^ ufufufu.... ^;^

well xiaufung just introduced me to a new forum and while i'm making my way through the posts, i just realised how much shounen-shoujo manga i've read recently...
like, in the shounen area i was choosing the topics that i want to post in. there are so many possibilities and topics to choose from (that i know what the story is all about) that i became quite confused.
but in the shoujo area, i was like choosing the topics that i can post in. there are so little titles that i'm familiar with, i had to be careful and select those that i know what the story is about lest my post is regarded as a spam...
well i've known it for quite some time that i'm inclining towards shounen now, but i thought bfore that i've read enough shoujo to last me a long while o.O apparently the manga/anime world is evolving so fast that unless i make an effort to keep up with it, i won't know what to talk about the next time i enter a new forum -_-

remember earlier this year when it was announced that The Deathly Hallows was going to be released, i made a post consisting of all the random questions that i have regarding harry potter story and how i was expecting them to be answered in the book? well here goes the answering time! due to the amount of questions, i would try to give as short an answer as possible for each of them. Labels: history
warning: SPOILERS!!! BIG TIME SPOILER!!! DON'T READ IF YOU DON'T WANNA KNOW THE STORY OF HP AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS!!!!
who will die? apparently a lot of people, including my favourite character fred, whose death came as the biggest shock for me.... and so was a number of other significant people, like lupin, snape (of course), moody...
is Snape friend or foe? friend, of course. thank you for my instinct which kept crying out "snape if good!!" i cried for him!
how happy will the happy-ending end, that Rowling was saying, be? well quite surprisingly, happy enough ^_^ well, not really but... it was a complete and clean finish, i was quite surprised that she could manage to cover so much within such a short book. well done, Rowling!
will Dumbledore make another appearance? yes, but as memories and, err, ghost? xD
what's the fate of Fawkes now that Dumbledore had died? surprisingly we never heard or see anything related to fawkes anymore...i wonder how he's doing?
will Harry really leave school and start hunting Voldemort together with Ron and Hermione? and still quite surprisingly, yes.
what will be the state of the muggle world now that Dumbledore died and Voldemort has nobody else whom he fear of? well since harry spent most of his time in hiding and rarely get in touch with the rest of the world (magical or muggle) we barely know what's happening other than it was quite chaotic....
is R.A.B. really Sirius's brother, Regulus? yes!! another ditto for me!
is Harry's power enough to tackle all the horcruxes and destroy them all when Dumbledore lost one of his arm battling one of them? well in the end ron destroyed one, hermione destroyed one, crabbe (or goyle?) accidentally destroyed one, and harry was good enough to tackle the rest =)
will Harry or Ron or Hermione receive a permanent damage or injury? thank goodness, no
will anyone else be receive anymore permanent injury like Bill's werewolf scars? yes. george lost an ear. many people lost their lives. if in the past 6 book Rowling was being civilised by killing the character one by one per book, in this book she went on killing rampant, it was a massaccre!
how will Harry find the rest of the horcruxes? through a long and complicated process of analysing and investigating that earned the book its title, and a fat lot of help from hermione and fate xD
how will Harry survive without someone upon whom he can depend to? well, he's got hermione and ron, and though it didn't seem possible before, he managed to wriggle himself free through tight corners and survive!
was the lesson about Voldemort that Dumbledore gave Harry be enough for Harry to survive? err... more or less...
what will the fate of Draco Malfoy be? is he gonna be a friend or foe? i was expecting him to be a friend, though he remained a foe til the end... though quite a harmless one if compared to the rest.
if Harry takes Hon and Hermione with him in his pursuit to find Voldemort, will Ginny insist to be taken along? will she be taken along due to her stubborness? no, she didn't insist. and no they didn't take her.
will Neville and Luna be taken along too? no, though luna was involved later on, quite unexpectedly.
how will they take part or be useful in the events in the 7th book? the scene at the school was quite confusing (as i read that part after many many hours of continuous reading) but they were useful, yes.
will the band that stormed the ministry of magic inbook 5 be reformed to track down voldemort? nope. just like harry promised, it was only the 3 of them, no more or less.
how will Ministry of Magic react to the death of Dumbledore, the death of someone so important and powerful that his death is like losing one of the very few pillars that support the peaceful regime of the magical world? err, scrimgeour was taken down, wasn't he? or was he not? hmmm.... anyway, like i said before, harry didn't really keep in contact with the world, so we barely heard about what the ministry was doing, though it was shown that the world wasn't doing well and the death eaters were winning the ground...
will Lupin be supportive of Harry's decision of confronting danger (which i believe is quite certain)? more than supportive, actually lupin wanted to follow harry! but harry refused. hmm...
will Lupin teach him more defense against the dark arts skills? no.
will Lupin tell Harry more about his dad, or Sirius, or offer to be harry's god-father? i think he did! but harry refused, didn't he? and he was asking harry to be the god-father of his kid later on...though of course he and tonks died later on *sniff*
what's the state of Peter Pettigrew in now? same old, same old...
how will Pettigrew 'repays the kindness' that Harry bestowed upon him by preventing Sirius and Lupin from killing him (since Dumbledore said when a wizard saves another, it creates a bodn between them, one that Harry "will not regret of doing")? he died for harry, and it gave harry a chance to escape from the clutches of voldemort once again. truly, harry wouldn't regret saving his life.
who is really Voldemort's right hand man? who? snape of course!
Snape! what about Snape?!??! what's the secret behind his past? why Dumbledore so willing to let him into the order while it is evident that he resents Harry and his dad? "don't call me coward!!!" why did he said so with face full of pain? what truly is the secret behind this half-blood prince? there was a whole chapter dedicated to this one amazing man...and i couldn't stop my tears while reading it. "don't call me coward!!!" because he was truly the most brave and courageous and selfless man amongst all the other characters in the harry potter book!!!!! his love was so so so pure and his heart too...though it's tainted with jealousy and envy, his love is so pure it pained me when i read his story *sobsobsobsobs!!* "look at me!"" he said at his final hour...his last words! his last request! at his dying breath! and all he wanted to see last was her green eyes, which harry inherited.... *sobs*
will he come back to school? yes he will, as voldemort went to school and he was there beside voldemort.
will he make contact with Harry or any members of the Order? yes! oh my goodness... his doe-shaped patronus led harry to one of the horcruxes! and why doe? harry's patronus was a stag, symbolising james. so doe should be symbolising lily, shouldn't it? oh snape.... such a meanie character he was putting up front, but look at his gentle-natured patronus, it should be enough to tell people what his heart was like....
after all he was a member of the Order, so he could enter Sirius's house, will he though? yes he would. in fact he ransacked sirius's room and found a precious little letter....
what's the way of communicating between members of the Orders that Harry didn't know? was it really using their Patronus? i think so....
can Patronus talk or bear messages? i think patronus speaks...with the voice of their owner... don't they? gee i forgot...
how fast can a Patronus travel, in fact how do they travel at all? how to put message, extract message, or intercept messages sent by Patronus? patronus, as far as i know, flies or run just like their respective shape, and they bore message by speaking. haha... correct me if i'm wrong though.
how will the state of the school be now that Dumbledore is gone? dunno.... harry wasn't in school...
how will Minnerva McGonnagal tackle the desperate situation the school is in? dunno also... but she was capable =)
will anyone be still schooling? though many got pulled out by their parents, yea.
will the parents of the students, already afraid of their children's safety even when Dumbledore was still alive, let their children stay longer in school? see above
how will the rest of the magical world cope with the situation now that 'the only one whom Voldemort fears' is dead? dunno... barely? crazily? they were targeting the muggle-born, crazy right...
will delegates from Beauxbatons or Durmstrang be paying another visit to Hogwarts? nope. of krum did come for fleur and bill's wedding.
is there anymore secret hidden inside the castle? no, only revelations of something that was already hinted earlier on.
does the Chamber of Secrets hide some other secrets? no, but surprisingly some other room does! ^^
will Harry make use of his Parselmouth ability to his advantage? nope. he did use it, but it's more like to his disadvantage! >,<
will he master the Parseltongue? no. in fact i don't know if in the end he still retain the ability or not...
will the relationship between Hagrid and the centaurs improve now that Dumbledore is gone and the world is turned to chaos, or will the centaurs roam free and mighty now that there's no more Dumbledore to, perhaps, keep them in check? we never heard about the centaurs anymore, or did we?
how will Mr and Mrs Dursley and Dudley behave towards Harry on his very last holiday in Privet Drive? surprisingly dudley was being very very nice =D
where will Harry make his home after leaving Privet Drive? at first, the burrows. after that, number 12 grimmauld place.
will he pay a visit to Number 12 Grimmauld Place? yes.
will he live there? yes.
how will he react the next time Sirius's mom start howling and screaming and yelling? well, they never tripped onto the troll-leg umbrella holder again, did they? xD
will Sirius's mom's potrait be useful in any way? no.
will Harry find other useful information from the family tree, from the cupboard or anything else inside No 12 Grimmauld Place? other than that he had discovered earlier, no. oh yes! he brought one of the portraits out, didn't he?
will Winky be still drunk everyday? i can't remember if i read anything about winky....
will Dobby still stay at hogwarts if Harry is no longer there? yes...and what a tragic end he met, dobby...
will the house elves be a good help to harry or no help at all? yes! dobby gave his life for harry!! *sniffs*
Fred and Feorge, how will they be helpful? *sobs* don't ask me about fred and george.....
what other new stuff will they come up with? no time to invent new things, ne?
will Harry properly master apparating and disapparating? yes. became very skilled too since they had to go into hiding...
will the Ministry of Magic be holding Harry to his previous 'crimes' like apparating and disapparating before he owns a license, or for using one of the forbidden curses, the Cruciatus Curse against Bellatrix once? well, we never know, ne? but seeing that it was harry, after all, who finished voldemort in the end, i doubt they'd hold such petty charges against him.
will there be new characters appear? well, not much but more like reinforcement of past characters and elaboration about their story, like grindelwald....
will the Order of the Phoenix be still working? yes.
will Molly still be overprotective os her kids and Harry and Hermione? nope. they didn't even keep much in contact with her...
now that they will all come-of-age and able to enter the Order, how does the Order give out missions? they didn't enter the order, they worked separately since they had other more important mission to carry out.
how do they come up with secret information? saa na?
what exactly do they do? saa na?
who will be the new leader of the Order? somehow i got the impression that it was lupin, or the combination between lupin and mr weasley
s the Order strong enough to tackle Voldemort and his band of Death Eaters? well they tried...
will there be more people entering the Order? i think...not
what is 'the deathly hallows'? manz.... read the book xD well in essence, it's a combination of 3 items that became the obsession of voldemort once that dumbledore is gone.
is that the place where a very important horcrux reside upon? no.
how will Fleur and Bill's relationship grow? where and when and how will they get married? they get married, they held wedding ceremony, they lived near a beach (well that's the impression i got)
will Ron and Hermione's relationship blossom? into marriage. just like harry and ginny's ^^ though i'm glad rowling didn't go all romance-happy and lovey-dovey in this book like she did for the half blood prince.
well there you go, the questions answered ^^ i made a shorter list just a few hours prior to reading the book, my guesses and expectations, and while i read the book i was marking it myself. it was fun to give myself a tick (especially at the R.A.B. part) ^^ banzai j.k.rowling!!
4:03 am
prologue: i loved the manga. couldn't remember how or why i first acquired it, could be the fact that it was about medical and i was intrigued that there's such a thing called medical-themed manga. no matter what was my initial purpose of getting it, upon reading i was totally amazed by the story and the artwork. freakin cool!! though it was stopped halfway (i think i only read until chapter 25 or so, then had to wait for a looong time til the next chapters were released) but the fact remains that the few chapters that i read was enough to make me say: this is a great manga! Labels: drama movie
there's almost negligible amount of comedy or romance here. the crux of the story seem to be about the rottenness of the internal politics of japanese medical system, how the hierarchy actually hinders doctors from performing the best for the patients. it is very serious, yepz, but it's good.
heard from albert that he loved to watch it, but i didn't know whether he watched the anime or the drama. at that time i was like "i know it's good, but i want to finish reading the manga before watching anything about it" so i didn't try to find anything about it... until tonight.
am at nata's place, supposedly practice singing with her, but there she is, collapsed on the bed sleeping xD before sleeping we were trying to find jdramas to watch. attempted furin kazaan (the one with gackt inside) but seemed too heavy (and too many names) and crunchyroll stopped streaming halfway. then we tried this.
episode 1:
i'm very picky in terms of castings for jdrama adapted from mangas. if the actor/ess doesn't suit the character in the manga, i would complain endlessly. but for TMD, i'm actually more than pleased with the castings! weird huh? ^^
asada ryutaro, THE surgeon, was suitably acted by the guy from Pride (the goalkeeper of scorpion, i dunno his name...). the asada-sensei in the manga was an extremely interesting character (and pretty much charming too) and i think he played the character very well (though a little bit too dark earlier on...i hope he'd get much light-hearted later). that's the main character: acceptable.
ijyuuin, the intern, was outrageously played by teppei. why outrageous?? coz the ijyuuin in the manga was an extremely useless character that i look down upon (well at least until the part that i've read). he's a coward, an extreme loser, a cry-baby and hypocrite. i really have nothing to like about him. moreover in the manga he was so ugly, ugh >.< BUT, but but but, in this drama, he was too cute to be passed off as just 'ijyuuin the intern'. he has suddenly become 'ijyuuin the drop-dead gorgeous and extremely cute and adorable intern' xDDDDDD look at teppei with spectacles, he looked like a lil Daniel Radcliffe grown up. i mean, look at 12-year-old radcliffe and imagined him as a 20-year old, THAT's teppei in TMD! super duper cute!!!!!! xDDDD
"in the manga he's super loser, geek, coward, really useless. but who can resist when he's packed in a shell like that?" <--- my comment as teppei was revealed as ijyuuin xDDD
miki the nurse, is played by a cute girl who doesn't act too cute to be miki. i'm quite pleased with her acting ^__^ ganbatte ne miki!
kouta (??) the female doctor attempting to be professor is rather cool, but she suits the character quite well. i'm also pleased with her acting and her looks ^^
the guy who kissed her, i've never seen him before... it's either he appeared later in the manga (the part that i've not read) or his character is just an additional character to make the drama more complete -_-;;
the first episode set the whole atmosphere for the rest of the series, and i think it's very much alike the manga, serious and cool, and grand. i like the way the kept as much of the original storyline of the manga as possible. the director is good ^___^
overall rating for 1st episode: good! will continue watching! ^__^

Sunday 2 December 2007
it's been awhile since i last blogged, and clearly many things have left my mind (they never stay unless they're recorded in blog entries) and so the comments will be very brief. Labels: performance
scrooge the musical.
i learnt a new thing: for 6 years old and above = meant for little kids. to tell the truth, i didn't know the story of scrooge other than the Foxtrot (Bill Amend) version. and i didn't realise that the DBS Arts Centre is so...small? i guess i've grown complacent with all the theatre that i've visited so far (Esplanade, VCH and Kallang only) and thought that all theatres are so big =P
it was full house on friday morning. and i can declare that about 70% of the audience were little kids >< which means that it was noisy. and, just our luck, we got people sitting righ in front of us and right behind of us LATE in coming... it was pretty distracting since they all took their own sweet time in settling down.
the theatre full of lil kids also means that the actors can get whatever reaction from the audience with ease. the kids are all so cute, they respond to the performers with great enthusiasm that i couldn't remember i own when i was at their age xD imagining the house full of teenagers instead can make me laugh.
ghost of christmas past: can you all make scary noises? i'll count to 3 and let's make the scariest noise you can. 1...2...3!
lil kids: boooo~~~~~~~ whooooooo~~~~~~
imagined scenario with teens: *making other noises instead* meow meow, mooo~ *or perhaps silence?*
scrooge: oooh i need to change! what should i do so that i can be a better person??
lil kids: share your money! give toys! hugs! give kisses!
imagined scenario with teens: give me money! <-- i actually said it out loud in the midst of suggestions from the lil kids xDDD
it was quite a fun performance. the person playing scrooge, i think she's called fanny kee(?) reminds me SO MUCH of tang when she entered the stage!! i don't know why, perhaps they're both eccentric? xD
having said all that, i think it;s more suitable that i pay 12 bucks for it instead of 21 bucks. the 21 bucks should've gone to Handel's Messiah instead.
we were sitting up at circle 3, me nata bebek and congi (goodness me i don't know his name!!!). the last time i sat so high up was when i watched Fairfield Methodist's concert some years back, i think. even though we were so high up, we could hear the music extremely fine. perhaps it helped that we were right in the middle of the circle (our seats were from 19-22). the programme booklet really helped a lot in understanding the performance. i'm new at Handel's Messiah (except for the all-famous Hallelujah Chorus, of course) and i didn't know what they were singing until i realised that they printed the lyrics of the song inside the booklet. and by that time, part I of the performance was gone >_<
i found a choir mate of mine! borys shuter. at first i noticed his name in the booklet, then i asked nata "the name sounds familiar... isn't he in IFC?" and nata was like "iya iya!" and then we borrowed bebek's binoculars and looked for him. and we found him!! xD lol...
i think someone was mentioning about standing up during Hallelujah Chorus, and i was like heh? for what? but really people stood up during that part! well, not all, but quite a number of them ^^ so we also stood up, haha...
btw, i watched coz i thought there'll be Hallelujah Amen, and nata said that her friend who was inside the choir said they would be singing. but during the intermission, i just realised that Hallelujah Amen is from Judas Maccabaeus, not Messiah -___-;;; pikun...
more updates is needed, but currently there are so many things that i want to blog that i can't remember them at all -__-;;; so for the time being, that's all folks!

featuring: Yoshiki
about: Yochan underwent a surgery to correct his spine, a problem that had persisted since 1995, when he finally started to feel numbness in his fingers. the surgery went fine, thank goodness. hopefully he will recover completely and it doesn't affect his piano playing. as for drums...don't forget your neck braces everytime you drums, yochan!
etc: read below xD i've made too many layouts featuring Yoshiki i don't wish to repeat myself =P
http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v457/arsenalx/?action=view¤t=ekkusu3.jpg
Featuring: Versailles
Background: formed in 2007 by founding member Kamijo (ex Lareine) and Hizaki (ex Sulfuric Acid), they released their debut single Revenant Choir which tells a story about a clan.
Just as like Kamijo's past works, Versailles tells a story through their symphonic metal music and extravagantly elaborate costumes inspired from antique European era.
Members: Kamijo (vocals), Hizaki (guitar), Teru (guitar), Jasmine-You (bass), Yuki (drums)
etc: Versailles beautiful music managed to win my heart totally. saddened by the loss of Jasmine-YOU in 2009, but i hope the 4 of them will still make great music from now onwards. rest in peace, Jasmine-YOU, and watch out for the guys from up there...
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v449/arsenal_x/ekkusu2.1copy.jpg
featuring: S.K.I.N.
Background: Formed in 2007, performed first during Anime Expo at the States in May.
Members: Yoshiki (drums, piano, guitar), Gackt (vocal, piano), Sugizo (guitar, violin), Miyavi (guitar, shamisen)
etc: ekkusu phase 2.0 was lost because i didn't save it in photobucket (because it refused to upload it properly).
and so, from now i'll start my skin from phase .1 instead of .0

Featuring: Hiruma Youichi
Model's background: manga character (Eyeshield 21)
More about the model: quarterback of Deimon Devilbats, The Commander From Hell;
the backbone and the brain behind Deimon High School's American Football Club, The Deimon Devilbats.
Icons: various facial expressions of Hiruma, the maniacal, elven-faced leader of Devilbats ^^
Etc: Eyeshield 21 is a sports manga about American Football and it's one of my current favourite.
My rating for them is:
hilarity 10/10
excitement: 9/10
intellectual level: 9/10
drawing: 7/10
characterisation: 9/10

Featuring: Hayashi Yoshiki
Model's background: leader, drummer, pianist, main composer of legendary band X Japan (1982-1997); leader, drummer, pianist,
guitarist, composer of band Violet UK, debut coming soon. Born in Tateyama, Chiba (Japan) in 20th November 1965 and currently living in Los Angeles, California (USA).

More about the model: the faint background picture of Yoshiki was taken in the recent years when he's already cut his hair short and
started the habit of wearing sunglasses.
Icons: pictures taken from Yoshiki's house in LA: his front door, piano in the middle room, dining room and swimming pool.
Etc: I can write essays on Yoshiki, but let's just keep it simple and straightforward: YOSHIKI IS MY HERO AND IDOL!
