So excited for the trip to Temburong later!

It's already passed 12 am here in my place. Though I was told to sleep early, I didn't. Hahah. I'm still here sitting in front of my lap top. Actually I already slept for hours as soon as I came home from school. Hmm, maybe that's why I can't sleep now. So I'm planning to just stay awake until morning.


Later, I'm going for a field trip to Temburong, a remote district in my country. I'm so excited for it! Because this trip will be the first trip with my friends to Temburong. Usually I go there with my family when there is wedding of some relatives who live there. Actually, I didn't plan to go but Haru-chan insisted me to go. She has never been to Temburong in her whole life so she really wants to go but I have to come too. Hahaha. 


We were told to gather at the jetty as early as 6:15 am later. Then we are going to Temburong on the boats provided. Arriving there, we gonna have our breakfast first! Of course it's not free! I already paid $25 for this trip. Then, we will go to Bukit Patoi and hike! Hiking is always my hobby though I get tired quite easily. Our lecturer said that as we hike, we gonna witness a lot of amazing things. Like, the nature. Because Temburong district is well known for it's unspoilt environment, unspoilt beauty. After hiking, LUNCH! Heheh. The main activity comes after having buffet lunch with everyone. We will be brought to a long house there. A long house is where the indigenous people are living in Temburong. We will be served with their local foods and I think they gonna show some cultural performance which I really look forward to. 


All the activities are sure gonna be fun! I can't wait! This year will be my last year as a Pre-university student (That if I pass my A level exam this end of year, of course!) so I want to enjoy as much as I can. I want to make a lot of wonderful memories with them, my friends. Because I know, after we graduate from our current college, we won't have much time to spend with each other. We will be busy with our thesis, assignments, projects and a lot of other things. University life sure is hard ne. I have a senior who's now studying in the University of Brunei Darussalam. She told me that once we enter University, life would changed a lot. Friends are longer like friends, she told me. Because every time they meet, all they talk about is assignments, projects, etc. Hmm, I can already imagine how lonely my life will be once I enter there. 


Right now, I'm listening to the songs in JUMP world, while typing this. Right now, it's "Together Forever". I really love this song. It's so beautiful. The meaning. I love the part when they sing, "Isshou dayo~". It's really nice! Hontou ni! (Hahaha. I copied Sexy Zone's Nakajima Kento's way of talking. He always adds 'Hontou ni!' at the back of the sentences he says. So cute!) Ah, now playing is "Boku wa Vampire" :D I love this song as well. Well~ I love all their songs! Hahah.


Hmm, I guess that's all for now. I'm going to do something else :D Jyaa! Oyasuminasai! 

[Drama] Nobody Knows

I'm back again! This is my 3rd post for today. Heheh. I just want to share about the Japanese movie that I watched just recently. If I'm not mistaken, I watched it last month. I was bored and got nothing to do, so I just randomly picked a movie to watch. And yeah, I was lucky. The movie that I just randomly picked was a really great and must watch movie!

(Credit to the owner. Got this from Google)

"Nobody Knows" is a story about four abandoned child. Their mother left them with just a small amount of money and went to marry a man. The story focused on the burden the eldest son, Akira, was carrying. Because he was the older brother, so he was responsible in taking care of his little sisters and brother. It was not easy when he was only fourteen! 

The story started with the mother and the four siblings arrived at their new home. Just a small apartment actually. The children were not allowed to leave the house as the mother brought them into the house without the consent of the landlord. If she was found out bring them to live in the small apartment, they would be kicked out. Only Akira was allowed in leaving the house as he was responsible to buy things for home needs and stuffs when their mother out for work. All four of them didn't go to school even though they wanted too because their mother didn't let them. Their life was so pitiful but because they thought their mother would always be there with them, they lived happily even though in that poor condition.

But, things were not always good. One day, the mother came home from her work in 'Osaka' and quickly packed her stuffs into a baggage. She told her children that she was going somewhere for work purpose but actually she was marrying a rich man that didn't know anything about her having 4 children. Akira, just the mature boy among the siblings, were suspicious with his mother's action. But he didn't question it since his mother promised to him that she would come back on the Christmas. She then left after giving some money to Akira.

Months passed, their mother still hadn't come back. She didn't even show up on the Christmas. The money she left was now becoming little and little. Akira was so worried. If their mother didn't come back soon, they would have no money for foods and other stuffs. And his little sisters and brother also kept asking, "When is mother coming home? When is mother coming home?" Akira didn't have the answer for that. He also knew this would happen and lost the hope already. He knew that their mother was not coming home anymore. She had left them all. 

The real story began after that. The siblings now have to live without their mother. Akira had to take care of his siblings on his own. And yes, it was not easy at all. There were also times when he was about to give up. But he came back to his senses soon after. As days went by, the water supply in their house was cut, and also the electricity. The siblings had no choice but to eat and sleep in darkness during the night, bathing at the park nearby. The life they were going through was so sad that I cried really hard while watching. Their home was no longer organized. Stuffs were scattered all over the floor. They also wore the same clothes everyday. THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO EAT! I cried, cried, cried and cried as I watched the movie. I cried harder at the part when Akira found his brother munching something in mouth early in the morning. He asked him, "What are you eating?" because he knew they didn't have any food during that time. The little brother answered him, "Paper"

The ending was so sad. I couldn't stop crying even after I've finished watching the movie. This is a must watch movie. Because it teaches us a lot of the unseen things. It's an old movie, yeah, 2004. But who cares!? Do watch this if you have some free time. It's really worth watching movie.

Inoo-chan was already so pretty when he was only three years old. Hahah. Look at the picture. We never thought that that cute kid would ended up as an idol when he grew up, ne? I remember Inoo-chan said that he joined the company was because he thought that he could eat a lot of delicious foods. But after he joined, he found the food are just normal. Hahah. Inoo-chan, just how stupid can you be? :P

Kyaa! So pretty! So bright! Those who do not familiar with him would definitely think he was a girl by looking at this cute photo of him. Well, he does look a girl here. I love that smile. And that hair. Hahah. That kind of hair style really suits his face. 

(Here's Inoo-chan from 2009! Credit to the owner. Got this from Google)

He sure grew up kinda fast, ne? Just a few years ago, he was just a tiny little boy with a cute smile. But now, he as grown into a young handsome...err...not handsome but PRETTY young man with seductive smile. Well, there are times when he looks more to handsome than pretty :) But, most of the time, Inoo-chan is PRETTY! Puri puri pretty xD Woah, I talked a lot already. Hahah. I'm too free right now. Got nothing to do. Hmm, once again, happy 22nd birthday, pretty Inoo-chan. I love you!

JUMPers are my FAMILY

"JUMPers" is the name for Hey!Say!JUMP's fans.

And obviously, I'm one of them. For me, the JUMPers, are not just fans of Hey!Say!JUMP or my fandom-mates. They are...more like my family. Before I came to JUMP fandom, I didn't really have friends which I could share anything with. Yes, I do have some good friends who were always there for me. But, my life was so plain, so boring, so empty, so LONELY. Until I found JUMP. It was all thanks to JUMP that I now have my second family. The JUMPers. It is true that most of them are just my friends on FaceBook. I know that I never met most of them in real life. But, I feel like I'm so close to them tho we are far from each other. JUMPers, they are always the one that come to comfort me when I'm feeling down. They are always the one that cheer me up. Honestly, I think they know me better than my friends in real life. And now, with them, my life has become more fun, more cheerful, more colorful! Everyday, I have people to talk to. Everyday, I have people to play with. Everyday, I have people to laugh and fangirling with. I always have them by my side.

On 28th June 2011 last year, it was the day when that smoking incident of Ryutaro happened. There was a lot of us who cried and heartbroken. And that was also the time when I saw the strong bond between the JUMPers. No matter how sad some of them were, they managed to stay strong and went to comfort those who were weak. Comforting each other, advising each other, giving power to each other during such a moment, that is the real bond between the JUMPers. I can't imagine what would happened to me if they weren't there on that day. Although, they were just comforting me on FaceBook, the power DID reach me! I was saved by them. That's why, the JUMPers are so important in my life. They are my family. We share stuffs with each other, we comfort each other, we complain to each other, and sometime, we even fight with each other but those fights are one of those that strengthen our bond. A lot of them left after the suspension of Ryutaro started, and I lost a lot of the important people in my life. That's why those who stay in the fandom until now, I will cherish them as best as I can. Recently, there are a lot of new JUMPers in the fandom. I'm happy to have more family members. Though they were not there when Ryutaro was still with JUMP, once we told them about him, all of them, just like us are also hoping that Ryutaro would come back soon. Although they don't really know anything about Ryutaro, they still care for him. That is JUMPers. 

In real life, I also met a lot of JUMPers. Yes, those who live in the same country as me. Ai, Nina, Emiko, Ema, Rii...they are one of the first that I got closed with. I was so happy when I found out that there are actually more JUMPers in my country, other than me, Suki-chan and Naru-baka. And for the first time after three years being a JUMPer, we held the first ever fan gathering. That was on 24th September 2010. We celebrated JUMP's 3rd year anniversary. It was the first time I met Nina, Ai, Emiko, Dii and Lii. They are all so friendly and treated me and Suki-chan like they've already known us for a long time and just within a day, we became really closed with each other. 

(From left to right: Emiko, Suki-chan, me, Nina and Ai)

That day was one of the day that I will never forget. We talked, we played quizzes, we laughed together. It was really fun. I didn't get to talk to Dii and Lii much since they went home early but Nina, Ai and Emiko, they were so nice to me. I was so glad that I met them. And after that first gathering, we did the 2nd and 3rd fan gathering. And I met more JUMPers like Ema and Rii. Nina and Emiko even came to my house once. Nina, when I was down, she was always the one who worried about me the most. She kept calling even when I didn't pick up her call. She was like a sister to me. But things changed a lot after the Ryutaro's smoking incident. Nina, Emiko and Ai are no longer paying any attention to JUMP and we rarely talk to each other now. I feel like, they are slowly going further and further away from me. The last time we met was on 10th August 2011, I don't tell this to them, but I really miss them. Rii, after 'something' happened between her and Nina, she disappeared and according to Ema, she already left the fandom. 

As for Ema, she is still standing as strong as me in the fandom. And she is the only one from the fan-gathering that I still talk to a lot. I'm glad that Ema choose to stay and keep on giving her full support to JUMP. Other than Suki-chan and Naru-baka, Ema is the one the I'm close with the most in the fandom. Maybe because we share the same ichiban and both of us has become fans of JUMP for a very long time. We first met each other on the 2nd fan gathering that we held. And I have only meet her twice.

(From left to right: Ema and me)

Ema is one of the JUMPers that I want to cherish the most. She is the JUMPer that I don't want to lose. Because she has always being there with me. We fangirl together, we flail together, we laugh, we cry together. And without I realized it, she has become one of the most important person in my life. But then, I ended up hurting her feeling a few days ago. I accidentally said something hurtful to her. Although it was just accidentally, something like this is unforgivable! I couldn't forgive myself for hurting my family, so I left. Yes, I left the fandom. I cut all the connection I have with the JUMPers. Because I hurt one, so that means I can hurt more of them. I don't want that to happen, so I left. But the girl wearing the red shirt in the photo, just couldn't leave me alone. Even though, I've hurt her feeling, she still wanted me to go back to the fandom. She sent me text, telling me to go back. Although I ignored her text last time, she sent me another one this morning.

"Just come back already...Forget what happened...I'm still your friend, right?"

I cried reading the last sentence. After everything that had happened, she still considered me as friends. Even after I hurt her...I thought she was going to hate me...but she didn't... After thinking twice, I decided to go back there. I reactivate my FaceBook account...and she scolded me.

"YOU!!! DON'T YOU DARE TO LEAVE AGAIN!! You know how worry I was!!?"

She was worrying for me...even after all the hurtful things I said to her. I'm happy that she still wants to talk to me after what happened... I'm glad that I didn't lose her. Ema, thank you so much. Thank you for everything.

I learned my lesson already. I will be careful in the future. I don't want to lose any friends...wait no, I don't want to lose my family. NEVER. Maybe, I've already lost Nina, Emiko, Ai and Rii...but I will cherish those who are still by my side right now. Suki-chan, Naru-baka, Ema and also the JUMPers that I met recently and also the other JUMPers all around the world! I will cherish every each of them. Because... they are my FAMILY.

[Drama] Hanawake no Yon Shimai

Hanawake no Yon Shimai

Credit to the rightful owner (I got this from Google)

I decided to watch this drama was because I know that Kawashima Umika, my favourite female actress, was one of the main casts. At first, I really didn't know that NewS's Kato Shigeaki was also in there so I was shocked when he first appeared in the first episode.

Anyway, about the drama. This drama is a story about the four sisters in Hanawa Family. Hanawa Fujiko (The first daughter) was a very hardworking woman. She worked as editor-in-chief and very admirable. But because she was focusing too much on her works, she didn't have time to think about marriage. When she finally realized that she was getting old and considered of getting married, she was dumped by her boyfriend. The excuse was because he thought that Fujiko would cared more about her work, rather than her husband. 

The second daughter was Hanawa Takemi. She had been married twice and divorced twice as well. She was about to get married  for the third time but got cancelled. With her three children, she moved back to the Hanawa family house. Her return was not very well welcomed by her other sisters because she was kinda disliked by them due to her attitude. Takemi, despite her strong appearance, she was actually very fragile inside and only cried when she was alone. She was also a hard working and really cared about her family. She sacrificed a lot just to see smiling face of her family but never really showed her attention to them. That was why she was easily being misunderstood. The only person who knows her well was her ex-husband and her mother.

The third daughter was Hanawa Sakurako. She was one of my favourite characters in this drama. She held a big grudge toward her sister, Takemi, for stealing her boyfriend long time ago and since then, she never got herself a boyfriend. Until she met Mashiro Shousaburou, played by Kato Shigeaki. She accidentally had sex with Mashiro on the first night they met and after that, they both began to see each other more and Sakurako couldn't help it but to fall in love with him.

The youngest daughter was Hanawa Ume, played by Kawashima Umika. She was an art student and boyfriendless. In her school, there was this senior who was very good looking. At first, Ume was only looking at him as an admired senior, but then slowly she started to develop the feeling of love toward him. Too bad, he already had a girlfriend and that girlfriend was the Miss Campus, the most popular girl in the school. Among her there sisters, Ume was close with Fujiko and just like Sakurako, Ume kinda disliked Takemi as well because of her demonic behaviour.

This drama has 11 episodes and throughout the whole 11 episodes, it shows a lot of development in the relationship of the four sisters. Like, how they slowly starting to trust each other, how they settle things with each other, how they join force for the sake of family and a lot of other things. The whole story is not bad and fun to watch. It just that...Mashiro really pissed me off that I skipped 3 episodes because of him. But don't get me wrong yet. I'm a big fan of NewS and of course, I love Shige! Hahah. Okay, that's all. Now, I need to look for another drama to watch.

[Drama] Nodame Cantabile

Nodame Cantabile

Nodame Cantabile is an adaptation of a famous Anime. It is a story about a student (Noda Megumi a.k.a Nodame) in a Musical School who was really talented at playing piano but she hadn't notice her talent yet and instead of aiming to be a professional pianist, she was aiming to become a Kindergarten teacher. However she met with a guy who was her senior in the school, also from the  Piano division (Chiaki Shinichi) and fell in love. Chiaki, although he was in the Piano division, his real dream was to become a conductor of an orchestra. Spending time with Chiaki, Nodame became very attracted to him and followed him wherever he goes like a lost puppy. Chiaki was annoyed but still he let her hang around him and even let her into his apartment. He also feed her and helped her with her practices.

In the first series, the story focused on Chiaki's journey to become a professional conductor. With the help from Megumi, he managed to conduct his first orchestra called S-Oke. As he became the conductor of this orchestra which the members were mostly underachievers, Chiaki met a lot of different kinds of people and learnt a lot from them. Although he was disliked at first, eventually he managed to gain trust from the members and became really close to them all. He also became the pupil of a famous conductor from Germany, Stresseman. 

After the series, two special movies were released, as the sequel of the drama series. Nodame Cantabile: The Final Score Part 1 and Nodame Cantabile: The Final Score Part 2. This special movies focused on Nodame and Chiaki's story in Paris where they were studying. These special movies answered a lot of things. And it also completed the romance between the two characters. It was really fun to see how both main characters, Nodame and Chiaki, developed in the series and followed by the two special movies.

Today is the 2nd day of school holiday and so spent the whole day watching the series and the movies. I finished it just now. About the ending, I'm not gonna spoil it here because it is better for those who haven't watch this drama to watch it themselves. But one thing for sure, the ending would definitely satisfy everyone.

The good things about this drama is that it contains not only love, but also friendship and how we are not suppose to give easily in achieving our dreams. Because of this drama also, I'm now seeing classical music in a different way. This is highly recommended so if you guys have some free time, please do watch it.

Oh ya, the casts:

Noda Megumi - Ueno Juri

Chiaki Shinichi - Hiroshi Tamaki

Chinen's SPROUT! + Bakaleya Movie

Another post!
Okay, this time I'm going to talk about Chinen Yuri's new drama that is going to start airing this July. First of all, it's an adaptation from a manga called Sprout!

Credit to the rightful owner (I got this from Google)

It's a Shoujo manga. So yeah, it's a romance manga. I haven't read it till the end yet. I'm still on the first chapter. The story plot seems interesting. Something about the male main character and the female main character are living under the same roof. Interesting right?

What more interesting is that our cute little Chinen Yuri is going to star in the live action of this manga! And yeah, he is the male main character!

Credit to the rightful owner (I got this from Google)

Can't you imagine that!? Chinen Yuri in a romance drama! Hahaha. At first I was like, 

"OMG! Chi-nyan got a new drama and it's ROMANCE!"

 I was so happy!  But then, something surprising reached my ears. KISSING SCENE. There'll be kissing scenes in the drama. KISSING...SCENE... When I heard about it, I immediately searched the information on the girl that is going to be the female main character.

Credit to the rightful owner (I got this from Google)

Morikawa Aoi. So what do you guys think? She's at Ryutaro's age. Quite young and yeah, I admitted that she's cute too. But... I still prefer Kawashima Umika! Because I've been UmiChii's shipper for a long time now. The fact that Chi-nyan to kiss someone else other than Umika is so depressing. But, what can we do, right? It's already been decided.

Well, all we can do now is wait and see :D I seriously can't wait for the drama!

But not the kissing scenes. Hmm...I hope there's none but they already confirmed it.

Okay, now, moving on to the next issue.

YES! Shiritsu Bakaleya Koukou MOVIE! MOVIE! I'm so so so so HAPPY! CAN'T WAIT FOR IT! SERIOUSLY CAN'T WAIT FOR IT! THIS IS REALLY A GOOD NEWS!

KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA~!

Outing with Saku-chan + sushi again

Hello, everyone!
Hehehe. Just wanna share a wonderful experience with my best friend. Saku-chan. Both of us want to get the study in Japan scholarship so on last 1st June (Friday), we went to the Japan Embassy here in our country. That day was my first time been there. It was awesome. Once we arrived there, the person who sat behind the black glass, told us to leave our identity card before entering. He then gave us a visitor pass each.
Then, the automatic fence moved! Hahah. I was amazed! We went in and took the form from a lady. Hmmm, that's all.


Okay, that is not what I really want to share actually. Hahaha. But what happened after we went out of the embassy building. My father sent me and Saku-chan to Excapade Sushi!

We ate a lot! I ordered Udon Curry! Yummy! Saku-chan was in a good mood on that day so she paid for everything. And it costs more than $30! Thank you so much, Saku-chan! When we were full, we went wandered around the place. We went to shopping malls, we went to the book store, we went to a lot of shops! Until we were bored. Hahaha. Then we took the bus to Gadong and yeah, to the mall! We planned to watch a movie but there was nothing good to watch so we just went to the arcade and karaoke-ing for more than an hour! We sang about 20+ songs! It was really fun!

And what made me so happy that day was that...with Saku-chan, I talked a lot about Hey!Say!JUMP :D We talked about Ryutaro... We talked about Shintaro... and Saku-chan seemed to have a lot of fun too talking about them. Thanks, Saku-chan. I thought she didn't like Hey!Say!JUMP anymore. But I was wrong. I'm happy.

Okay, that's all. Oh ya, the next day, my grandmother treated me sushi again :P It was like two days in a row, all I ate was sushi. But I don't mind. I love Sushi so much.
