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!!

i started that "holiday week x day y" title format because i want to keep reminding myself of the ticking time, that i don't have so much time left as i thought, that i need to start doing something lest this holiday becomes like one of my many others "do-nothing-throughout" holiday...
but apparently the trick works too well and now i even dread coming in here to blog, coz i'd be reminding myself that "oh my goodness it's week 8 already!!!!" and feel gloomy... my normal BTSS, which lasts for one week, is bad enough. i don't wish for it to drag into a 7-week-long BTSS..... oh btw BTSS is Back To Singapore Syndromme, a very lethal epidemic that hits my family's youths around their departure time back to the fine city (read: me, koko, hany...), the symptoms includes gloominess, lethargy, bad-mood, and ocassional begging for delay-of-departure-flight medicine.
but ANYWAY~~ (let's not get too much into this lest i really get BTSS now) hany came back last saturday, with a lot of stuff (that weren't hers xD) my parents asked her to buy several cheetos spiral (to give away to some customers o.O) and some milk (do you know that while in sg we can get milk which expiry date is about 2-3 weeks later, in jkt it's rare that it can last more than 2 weeks?), i asked her to bring back her eeyore speaker that harry gave her ^3^ and now that eeyore speaker is sitting nicely in the bathroom, playing NEWS songs everytime i bathe xD i'm practising my harmonising skill hard! ...though i don't see much improvement... envy someone who can do it so easily (- 3 -)... and, of course, the PSP.
now, about the PSP. err.... i don't seem to like any of the games that i've played. ...oops? o.O why didn't i ask for games like Mario Bross (nintendo) or Bomberman or, my fave playstation game, Hermie Hopperhead? with nice cute background music and easy-to-control 2-D format? -_- i don't like 3D games, they make me dizzy (CS, blehh) still haven't tried all the games, though. suppose i should try all 13 and decide if i really don't like any of them...
btw, @lin, the game that we played in your PSP that time, the one with a lot of trivia questions, kinda like brain-game, what is it called? seinget gw itu enak dimaenin =D and, errr, when i said "i'll be fetching my grandma" maksud gw itu gw ikut mobil kesana jemput, the one behind the steering wheel ya si koko xDDD lol... i can't drive la, ga berani, nyetir di jakarta kayak nyabung nyawa -_-;;;;
@obachan... WHERE'S YOUR PHONE NUMBER?? *shakes obachan*

this is the very first post after my desktop's revival from its "motherboard failure" sickness. yohanes came these 2 days to take care of it. i'm glad it's back to normal. yet i'm also disappointed that it's still "normal", which, in my dear old ancient desktop dictionary, means 11GB of total C: drive space and 17GB of total D: drive space. *sigh* for someone like me who's an avid fan of manga/anime/drama and usually pampered with 250GB desktop hard drive plus 250GB external hard disk space, getting a 11GB space is like getting a peanut when usually i get a coconut... freakin small!!! >={ Labels: holiday
let's see if i can talk my dad into expanding the computer's hard drive ^3^
btw, happy dragon boat festival!!!!!!!!!! i duno if it's today or tomorrow, but i know that today i'm picking my grandma up to make meat dumplings, oh heck, BACANG =DDD yosh, the cloud is looking very gloomily cloudy, and the highway to klapa gading is still being repaired, leaving one measly lane instead of the normal 3, but all in all, wish me luck in bringing my grandma back home safely and fast. jyaa~

still no car, still no plans to go out, still spending the day at home watching TV... tomorrow the comp man will come... hopefully by then i can start doing something... i could perhaps try to maple too o.O Labels: holiday
meanwhile, i'm getting hooked on CSI:NY and Early Edition o.O the latter one is an extremely old show, but axn started showing it from the first episode o.O cool~
i'm getting hany to bring back her speaker so that i can hook it to my ipod to accompany me bathing xDDD our doors are sturdy and noise-proof enough for me to sing as loudly as i want to in the bathroom without disturbing my parents in the next room ^^
i still haven't started my fanfic -_- when can i start...

synopsis of what happened on my birthday during an msn conversation:
me: i got a new idol!
harry: o ya? who who?
me: *sends a picture of tesshi, let's label it picture A*
harry: *received file*
harry: *sends a picture file*
harry: itu mirip sama dia
me: *received file* *opens file* *file is a picture of a woman who, i have to admit, does look like him, kinda...*
me: uhm... yea, in a way... who's she?
harry: namanya maria ozawa, aktris film porno
me: *@%#$#(@*#$ ???????????!!!!!!!!!! you're kidding me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
synopsis of what happened 2 days ago, in my bedroom in jakarta.
me: lia lia, what do you think of this guy? *shows handphone which has my yamapi theme 1.0 and yamapi with tesshi on the wallpaper* *let's say picture B*
my cousin: hmm..... ok....
me: *tells story when mimi almost mistaken tesshi for me*
my cousin: lebih mirip miyabi.
me: miyavi????????????
my cousin: bukan, miyabi.
me: *shows another picture of tesshi from Ai Ai Gasa PV* *let's say pic C*
my cousin: iya mirip banget, matanya sama mulutnya. nama aslinya kalo ngga salah maria ozawa ato apa gitu, artis porno.
me: .....................................................................................
honestly people, who knows anything about this maria ozawa person, hands up please! i was already very shocked when harry gave me that pic together with the identity of the girl. i was flabbergasted that my cousin actually said the same thing too!! omg! like ".....???!?!?!?!?!!!!!" >O
still blogging from koko's laptop. the comp man promised to come on thursday to fix my desktop. been spending these 2 days lazying in front of the TV while moving from one spot to another to get a cooler sitting place, started watching CSI: NY, re-watching House season 4 from the start, and jumping from discovery channel to cartoon channels to NGC to animal planet to...whatever i feel like watching -_-
in days like this, i do miss sitting in front of my comp in SG with the air-cond blowing comfortably on a hot afternoon. with the increase in fuel prices, water and electricity bill is set to increase too, and now i'm being more careful with my electricity and water usage. yet, i don't know how much longer i can keep up with the heat... one of these days i'm gonna start taking refuge in my air-conditioners again....
my dad's car is being repaired, still can't find ong as i promised her, oops.. but i'll find a way, hopefully...

may you be able to do and finish your FYP with brilliant marks and success, be able to gain weight (in muscle form, not fats) and always be happy ^_________^ Labels: holiday
i'm blogging from koko's laptop coz my computer at home is having its tantrum again. perhaps tomorrow or the day after i will look at it, or call someone to have it looked at.
meanwhile. nothing much to blog about xD today supposedly there'd be a demonstration at the Istana Negara, and yesterday my dad already said that we shouldn't go out. but in the end, we went to have lunch and, out of habit, started to plan the next activities. so we went to carrefour, and along the way we passed by the people who were going to demo *shudders* scary... brought back memories of 10 years ago...
my goodness, i've been away from home that long, huh? exactly 10 years ago around this time they were planning for my departure to penang... hmmm...
anyway. nat, i told you that you should buy more pics for your sis! xDDD i think we, older sisters, are always in 'to blame' for our little sister's err, interest? in a way? xD i couldn't remember if i introduced hany to gackt, but i was definitely quite a valuable resources of info during her craziness of gackt. dira influenced her lil sis into the manga world. obachan...right, whatever she wanna call herself xD
french open is on now! nadal, ganbare! ^________^

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v457/arsenalx/ekkusuphase32c.jpg
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
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v457/arsenalx/ekkusunostudio1-3.jpg
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
http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v457/arsenalx/?action=view¤t=yoshiki56trialwithrollovercopy.jpg
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.
More about the model: Yoshiki in the early X Japan era in early 90's when he still has long curly locks.
Etc: YOSHIKI IS MY HERO AND IDOL!
http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v457/arsenalx/th_yoshiki46copy.png
Featuring: Hayashi Yoshiki
Model's background: leader, drummer, pianist, main composer of legendary band X Japan (1982-1997); leader, drummer, pianist,

Head company of Extasy Records, Extasy Japan and Extasy Records International (now defunct). http://myspace.com/yoshiki
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!
