honestly, its utterly stupid how debates have been going on about singlish. its something unique to singapore & malaysia (although i think they have another term for it?) and is usually used in an informal context among friends, family, etc. it is CERTAINLY unacceptable to use singlish in academic reports (although there have been theses written on singlish, idek!) and in formal occasions, say a job interview etc.

i personally ADORE singlish because it saves time. instead of saying "why did you do that?", i can say "why like that" and save TWO FREAKIN' WORDS worth of breath, hallelujah! frankly, i feel that each country had infused its own culture into its use of english.

as for the accent, people from every country have their own accent for chrissakes. if one finds it difficult to understand spoken english of singaporeans, how about that of vietnamese, taiwanese, chinese, indonesians, aussies (sorry offstyle, even though you nudged me 60 times), americans, british, etc?? i personally have problems comprehending them too! yes, even american and british english. because i find the accent to be too thick and the speech to be slurred at times. there were times in my work when my counterpart from the western side of the world have problems communicating with my indian colleague (from india) and me. similarly, we find it difficult to comprehend him when he used slangs.

i dont see why he would have a bigger issue communicating with me than my indian colleague.

just because we dont speak with the american/british accent, doesnt mean we're speaking bad english. and come on! i dont hear people mocking engrish! why laugh at my singlish lah~~~~

:(

as for mandarin, i think its interesting to learn the slangs used by different countries.

in taiwan, "kin" pronounce with a high note on the "-in" refers to a person who's usually uptight about a certain issue. it doesnt exist in the dictionary. probably from a dialect? idk

in singapore, "sian" pronounce with a low "-an", means being bored. probably from the chinese word 闲 which means to be free i.e. nothing to do lah! sian contains certain nuances though, it can also refer to a boring person/thing or one being sick of doing something.

in chinese, "huo" is used to refer to something extremely popular. literally, it means fire, 火.

language is such a beautiful thing.

p.s.: miss you, linah chan!

i typed nino's name as ninomiya KAZUYA in the latest translation.

i deserved to be bound to a world class stereo system blasting the real kazuya's singing voice for all of eternity.

gosh this is too cute. am translating as i read on. havnt done this in a long time but its ohno x chinen!

translating from scans provided by esychan. thanks :)

*************************************

that evening. wearing an expression that's a mixture of happiness and nerves, chinen arrived at the location where the interview is to take place. even when he had reached the waiting room, he was still restless and unable to settle down. 5 mins later, ohno entered the room with an air of perfect composure (!?). it was a meeting between a shy senior and an overjoyed junior (albeit with an air of 'what should i do'). it was a scenario where even a bystander would become embarassed just looking at them. and so, let's start the conversation right away!

( omg chinen♥ )

*************************************

oh gosh, chinen is REALLY TOO CUTE for my intestines. especially when he wanted to do solo back dancing for arashi and protecting his precious dvd from HSJ. my face broke out into a smile and my ribs broke from laughing. its totally understandable to break out into cold sweat meeting your idol though!

but i also totally understand that NERVES do not exist in ohno's body system.

i always enjoyed the part where ohno goes 'no, you see, i slack off 24/7, god forbid that i should talk on my own shows, and if i do talk, its all 'umai's, i do not understand why you idolise me". but chinen would be all,

:DDDDDDDD

btw, i'm embarking on a hiatus.

p.s.: beta read only once and its already 1am. dont bite k~

the sweetest thing ever

:)

EXCEPT SOMEONE PLS TELL ME WHAT THOSE HEADPHONES ARE. PRZ. NEED TO HAVE WHAT JJ LIN HAS.

angie posted a scan of WU's message board where ohno mentioned that they went fishing for FREAKIN' 25 HOURS. so i promptly went OMGWTFFFFFFFFFFFSHIGE&OHNO!????? did a search and hohoho! its so funny!!! idk why anyone would get nervous around ohno the grandpa but lol shige you're so cute!

ahem, no fanfics pls.

today at work, i knocked so hard into my colleague's table, her vase toppled over. thank god it didnt break.

BUT MY THIGH SURE DID.

hurts so bad omg. there's now a bruise the size of america on it....SHUCKS, I FORGOT TO PUT MY GUINEA PIG BACK TO HER CAGE, BRB.

.....

back. hah sif i'm on MSN. habit. anyway, i took her out for a little walk and forgot to put her back. back to my bruise. yeah, its huge, the end.

OR SO I THOUGHT.

i reached home about 9+ and immediately went to bath. if you've been following this blog, you should know that i'm someone WHO HATES IT WHEN PEOPLE DONT BATH IMMEDIATELY WHEN THEY'RE BACK HOME FROM WHO-KNOWS-WHERE. so yeah, in the bathroom, I FELL.


just like the above.

i slipped while i was standing just on one foot (see, i was trying to reach the tap with my toes). for one second, i was airborne.


like this. (note sudden growth of grey hair hahaha and damn, i forgot to draw one more finger on my right hand)

BUT THEN I LANDED ON MY BUTT. i thought it was real funny so i lol-ed rly hard. then i realised i cant move hahahah. i fell rly hard! if i were 60, the impact will be bone-shattering! so i laid on the floor for some time (please refer to first pic) while the shower was still running. just laying there, laughing and groaning with pain, but unable to get up. my butt's hardy though, there's only one bruise on my arm :DDDD

. . . . .

arashi's one love best selling single so far. very happy. i thought step and go was better but well, due to HYD, i guess? and music station! when they did the scuttle crab thingy live, i laughed rly hard.

XD

actually, everytime matsujun dances, i want to laugh '_'

( ohno, winkup, sept )

p.s.: chinen wants to know: "which brand of perfume does ohno kun use?"
p.p.s.: one day i will use an arashi filter! once i figured out what this filter thing is...
p.p.p.s.: not beta read for language errors
p.p.p.p.s.: back to comments tomorrow k~ thanks for the egg concern :)
p.p.p.p.p.s.: my butt hurts! one am, ok, sleep.

i like matsujun, i rly do.

edit: nino's reply to ohno
to leader: unfortunately, in the end, our unit had to be disband in sapporo. despite this, we shall always remain the same.

goodnight guys! ♥!

offstyle aka linah got me some arashi shop pix when she went to japan just last month. so i'm sharing. you can thank my office scanner for them haha

I ALSO RECEIVED AN ARASHI DREAMALIVE PENLIGHT OMG. i'm going to set up an altar for it, just next to my grandfather's (god bless his soul). besides this, she also got me some rilakkuma stuff ASLDKJASKJDLAJSDL thank you munchkin, i rly love that lazy bear :DDD would love to show you guys but i sorely lack a camera.......

( story of my headphones )

wow. its been pretty long since i did this. i wonder how long ohmiya is going to keep up with the exchanges.

the stupid qns of the month is, what do you buy when you go to the convenience store.
"answers in between these quoation marks for arashi members"

"

okada junichi: to the people below
to matsujun (matsumoto jun) kun: the son of my acquaintance asked for your autograph. when we meet next time, please give me 3 of your autographs.
to sakurai (sho) kun: ...sakurai kun, please give me 2 of your autographs as well.
i'll need 3 autographs from matsujun kun and 2 from sakurai kun. for just a bit, i sound like a sempai (laughes).

( i'm going to practice guitar after this )

. . . . .

love letters from arashi (only ohmiya cos i'm a biased biatch :D)

nino:
thank you for your constant support! firstly, no matter what, i hope that everyone can have a good time at the concerts. this is the most important thing. although i think people are probably not aware that i know magic...who knows, i might perform it in the dome concerts (laughes). please look forward to it. if i did not perform magic in the concerts, that would probably be due to the receival of a comment like "ah...it cannot be done because the audience can view the performance in every single angle possible" (laughes). well, i hope to receive support for this. if you were to see me, i would be very happy if you can say something like "i really wanted to watch you perform magic!" (laughes)
-- ninomiya kazunari

ohno:
good evening, i'm satoshi. i'm right in the middle of the dome tour. ah, it's already so late (for some reason, he started a mini play). good night...ah, but before that! i forgot to say something that i wanted to say to everyone.
...i like you very much♥ good night!
-- ohno satoshi

what a crappy love letter!

. . . . .

and you know i love ohnoxchinen.

just a tiny excerpt. the hsj part in WU was on "the part which fans are not aware of". hsj were talking about how radiant chinen's smile is....but he actually has a poisonous tongue lol.

daiki: ...it's hard to imagine that he can actually spit out such venomous words when he has that kirakira (radiant) smile. that's the kind of character he is (laughes)
takaki: he's JUMP's nikishido kun (laughes)
chinen: that's great! but i want to become someone like arashi's ohno kun.
daiki: how about becoming someone with a split of both nikishido kun and ohno's kun characters...that said, it would be a very difficult character (laughes)

ohno + nikishido = OMG THE ULTIMATE MATE FOR MATSUJUN LOLOLOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

. . . . .

that's all guys! i've gotta work on learning the guitar and making wallpaper requests

p.s.: isnt it amazing? how himitsu chan is an hour long show (47 mins without CMs) and ohno is capable of sitting through it without saying a sentence that consists of more than 10 words.

UNLESS HE WAS SO BORING THAT HE WAS 100% EDITED OUT. TOTALLY POSSIBLE, I SAY.

p.p.s.: not beta read~

p.p.p.s.:

THIS IS EXACTLY WHY I REFUSE TO UPDATE/COMMENT UNTIL MY CONNECTION IS SET RIGHT. I TYPED A TON AND IT WAS JUST WIPED OUT. ALL WIPED OUT I TELL YA. I'M SO PISSED RIGHT NOW.

RETYPED ENTRY BELOW:

big bang pimping to arashi fans



this is what i'm listening to lately. NONSTOP. its rlyyyyyyyyyyyyyy good. i miss big bang. seung ri sings so well and he fanboys junsu.

i think i have a fetish for boys who fanboy, cos:



and gawd. TOPPPPPPPPPP

it helps that he looks like this:


although, lately, he looks like this:


i mean, srsly:


:(

but its ok, i'm sure he'll be bangin' fly (wtf, i fail at ghetto! yeah he'll be banging some flies lol laakjsdasljdaks ok i'll shutup now) soon.

unless chun's stylist became his.

. . . . .

ok, arashi non-no apr20 vol.8 translation, just the love questions part. too lazy to retype everything lkjskdjasjdasdklasdl its a worthy buy! there's more arashi in there than myojo, duet, potato, etc~

( love questions )

as usual, corrections are very very appreciated :)

aiba's idea of a good date would be my worst date and ohno, JUST FAIL. where did he ever get the idea that he can cook? and if he hands me the fish to clean after the fishing trip (like how he once said he will hand the fish to his gf to clean in an interview), i'll slap him so HARD with its tail. but that would make me epic fail with all of them. its ok. i'll just clear my throat like mad and hook up with nino.

:D

oh, btw. there's this chart that they mapped out, detailing the guys relationship with others in the industry. THERE'S CHINEN LINKAGE TO OHNO WITH THE WORD 'ADMIRE' ON THE ARROW. LAKSJDKJASJDLASDLASL and there wasn't any links between the boys at all EXCEPT FOR OHMIYA WITH THE WORDS 'RABU RABU' COMPLETE WITH HEART SIGNS. OH OH OHOHOHOH THERE'S RYOxMJ LINKAGE. WHY IS THIS IN CAPS? XD WORDS ON THE ARROW SAYS 'KAWAII KOUHAI'. LOL RYO, YOU'RE ANYTHING BUT KAWAII. NON-NO, YOU DID YOUR HOMEWORK. A++++++++++++++++++ FOR YOU. the chart was quite a revelation. for eg, i didnt know sho is good friends with satoshi tsumabuki and crystal kay. and aiba is good friends with kazama. wish i have a scanner :/

bye guys, gotta sleep, its already 245am. laksjdkljaslda i hate my internetz :(

p.s.: sorry for not replying to comments but i've reached the end of my tether with the connection.

but i'm still posting XD

p.p.s.: i didnt check for errors, apologies but retyping sizzled my brains.

eh guess what? i have fever! i didnt even knew it~ i just had headaches and tongue ulcers(for a while, i thought it was hand foot mouth disease lol i forgot i wasn't 5 anymore XD) and feel rly tired.

anyway, i'm feeling better today after an oily meat bun. so here's winkup message board (reading the message boards in previous issues might help you understand this alot better). i was waiting for ohno's reply to nino's aggressive love declaration. but yeah, the more you anticipate, the more you're disappointed, i guess. :/

"

akanishi jin: to the people below
to matsujun (matsumoto jun): how have you been recently?
to nikishido (ryo): so it's this monkey! (me: ok i'm srsly stumped by this)
to ishihara satomi chan: i'm sorry about what taguchi did that time.
to aragaki yui chan: i read your article in winkup march issue. (me: i translated his message to ryo cos in my imgaination ryoxmjxjin = doS!otp. because i want to let you know he's a great big flirt, i included the messages to the ladies as well XD)

sakurai sho to murakami shingo
it's past our birthdays, speaking of which, i thought about how murakami didn't contact me. just now, i read the winkup message board last month and came to know about your handphone memory. i'll contact you as soon as possible. happy birthday.

ohno satoshi to the people below:
to kazu (ninomiya kazunari): ....that's heavy.
to chinen (yuuri) kun: i want to be friends with you too. shall we become mail friends?
to kiriyama (akito) kun: what's kiriyama kun's hobby and special skill?

aiba masaki to (shibuya) subaru and murakami shingo
i went to your stageplay recently. i thought it was really really interesting. because its a stageplay, you were able to present your show extensively, beyond what was able to be broadcast on television. you guys were terrific. please work hard for osaka too.

murakami shingo to kokubun (taichi) san and nino (ninomiya kazunari)
what happened after that? i'll be waiting for you guys. let's meet up soon to chat. speaking of which, what happened after that? especially nino. and kokubun san, you're immature. desperate, aren't you?

taguchi junnosuke to the people below:
to (sakurai) sho kun: let's bring that person along to karaoke.
to ninomiya (kazunari) kun: do you play soccer games? (while playing the game) i tried looking for ninomiya kun, in the end, i couldnt find you. (me: in ds lite, you can look for other players and hook up to play games, so i think he's talking about that)

and let me throw in tego's message cos he's turning kinda nutty idky.

tegoshi yuya: to the people below
to hyde san: you are my god.
to L: i am kira. i will not lose to you.

"

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM OK TEGO, W/E.

these messages are such teasers. i was going "who?! whowhowho!" at taguichi's message to sho. when i read murakami's, i went "NO WUT. WHAT HAPPENED????"

and taichi, rofl, F.A.I.L.

. . . . .

btw, chinen mentioned ohno in deut apr'08!

"

recently, i've been thinking if i should look for another hobby beside acrobatics. you see, when i say "my hobby and special skill is acrobatics", everyone just goes "yes yes" don't they? (laughes). that's kinda boring. i want to look for something that makes them go "chinen kun, you're able to do that too!?". for example, things like chado (japanese tea ceremony)? although i'm only kidding, i want to do things that would shock people like that. lots of people are able to cook too.....what should i do. that's it, fishing! although yama chan is also into fishing. because ohno (satoshi) kun is crazy about fishing too, if i were to pick up fishing, who knows, we might be able to go fishing together!

"

i love this kid. and i'm starting to feel like i'm chinen's stalker XD

i rly want to translate another jay song but my headache is back. my lunch shall be chocolate. byebe! :D
