First post here~

It's been such a long time since i've updated and now Vox has to close, sighs. Let's just hope TypePad here marks a brand new start! Anyway, I've given it much thought, why not jot down my exchange experiences in Japan here?

I will be going over to Kyoto in a week's time for my semester long exchange program! Super excited about it, but at the same time i feel like i'm leaving behind so many things.. But on the bright side, I get to watch arashi tv programs (hopefully there's a tv in my dorm) and also to satisfy my recent obession with JYJ.. I hope I get to see them live one day especially yuchun :)

so long and thanks for all the fish

Haven't been updating for a long long time, been busy with exams but exams ended like last month, haha.. I've spent the past month catching up with arashi stuffs, doing nothing but watch their programs the whole day, that's life for me! now school is going to start, next week to be exact, and I'm not liking it. Sigh.. recently my obsession with arashi has begun to shift to Jackson Rathbone, i think many would know,

he's Jasper Hale of Twilight, the guy who looks like he is in pain. I didn't know he was born in Singapore, what a shame that he decided to move away! I can't wait for november 2009 to come, that's when New Moon airs and i can't wait for my twilight books to arrive! Jackson's band 100Monkeys will be launching their debut album soon, but...I don't know how to get it

akainao’s afterthoughts

got this from 赤い好き =)

you are darkslateblue #483D8B

Your dominant hue is blue, making you a good friend who people love and trust. You're good in social situations and want to fit in. Just be careful not to compromise who you are to make them happy. Your saturation level is medium - You're not the most decisive go-getter, but you can get a job done when it's required of you. You probably don't think the world can change for you and don't want to spend too much effort trying to force it. Your outlook on life can be bright or dark, depending on the situation. You are flexible and see things objectively.

Catch moles and never come back

Yes, I want to catch moles and never come back. Everyday is stress, stress, stress! I'm worried about my Japanese studies project, none of my project mates reply my email, deadline is nearing and we have not consolidate everything yet. Exams and deadlines nearing! There's this Japanese internship offered by my school, but of course, the first criteria is to speak Japanese fluently. I am just a mere JLPT 3 cert holder, I think i need a year more, so..I have to wait till next year to apply again, if Japan still want interns. Shukudai-kun lightened up my mood quite alot though, can someone teach me how to take screenshots? everytime i try to do it, i end up capturing the VLC media player as well, frustrating. Now I am waiting ferverntly for thursday's himitsu no arashi-chan ^^

Arashi's new single: truth / Kaze no Muko e

Arashi is back with their 23rd single, yay!! Congratulations!! There are 2 versions of the limited edition and a regular edition. As expected, both limited edition versions are already out of print, as of today (from CDjapan). I think every Arashi fan has already ordered theirs. Hmm... i was expecting Green to be released as a single but turns out it is Kaze no muko e, but nonetheless i've already pre-ordered mine =)

I can't wait for it to be shipped to me!! 2008 is really a great year for arashi, and a great year for burning a big hole in my pocket, hahaha.. take care =)

いつも ありがとう！

This is my first entry ever and I really don't know what to say.. Hmm..First of all, let's start with the boring self-introduction! I'm a Singaporean, and of course, i'm a die hard Arashi fan, especially that of Ohno-kun's!
Well..actually its more of an obsession I guess? My day wouldn't be complete without watching every week's Himitsu no arashi chan, VS arashi and Arashi no shukudaikun, haha..

So, I really want to thank people like the lovely mikyuko-san for the daily doses of Arashi-discovery, the generous Arashi perfection for the ousama no buranchi download link, magnificent OZARASHI for the concert reports and the translations, the noble sableheart for all the download links and loads of many many wonderful people everywhere that I've forgotten to mention for spreading the Arashi love and providing outlets for fans to view and download Arashi's regular TV programs! Can't thank you enough, really. Please know that your hard work and generosity is greatly appreciated =)

 Here in singapore, its obviously impossible to watch Japanese TV programs, Keyhole Tv is an option but for me, internet speed is ridiculously slow at night and that's when Arashi's tv program is airing.. With all the study load and stress, Arashi's tv shows is a sure way to make me feel happy and let me destress!

Once again, many thanks for the kindness and generosity from akainao, the leecher.

P.s: i've uploaded some scans from magazines that i've bought, sorry about the quality, am really bad with scanners!
