Hello 2011!!! I'm ready for the great adventure ahead! *fireworks*

Yes. And time flies. 2010 was a year packed with fulfillment of spontaneous goals and objectives. I managed to achieve targets and accomplish things my inner self always wanted to accomplish. Overall, 2010 was full of challenges and self-recognition. Moreover, to me 2010 was a decision making year and I am pretty sure I did well.

You don't have to judge me because I am living with me, for now and ever.

2011 is about maintaining current happiness and further boosting happiness within. Happiness is one thing that could bring you more happiness and spread them around like deadly viruses. However, I have some serious rules for such maintenance. *I think I need to learn the smile meditation, so that even my liver will smile!*

Rule No. 1: Keep a FAR distance from gloomy, miserable souls. NO SELF PITY FOLKS!
Rule No. 2: Keep a FAR distance from negative forces. STOP FEEDING ON MY POSITIVE FORCES!
Rule No. 3: People who try to judge you? Or get jealous of you? Go ahead and fuck them upside down (yeah with a cucumber or a pole) and stay away from them.

Basically the spirit of these rules is to keep away from nasty souls. I could get nasty too, of course. Just hate getting my hands dirty. Normally people tend to observe my cheerful character, assuming that as easy-going and easy-to-push-around. But once they cross the line, they will realize if they move further, they will get fucked upside down. muwahahaha. (just jk. haven't really fucked anyone upside down. yet. but, you get what I mean ya.)

Have a good feeling that this positive and happy me is going to bring me more positive and happy people! =) I'm excited now!

Now about some memos regarding my end of year tour. Maybe some photos.

Left Osaka from Shinosaka station on December 26, 2010 and caught a night bus around 10pm. It was COLD and the bus was CRAMP and the girl who sat next to me has a SMALL BLADDER. She was having a window seat and she will wake me up every time the bus stopped for a short rest. I finally arrived Shinjuku 6:30am. I had blisters on both my feet, new shoes... bah. I dragged my luggage to a McDonalds', had 200yen breakfast and slept for awhile. I think I was crazy sleepy, the McD cleaning lady asked if I was ok. Maybe I looked drunk or something. Hee. Around 10 plus, I went to Green Plaza and spent 1500yen to shower and refresh for 90 minutes. After showering and soaking myself, I blow-dried my hair and that was when I heard interesting conversations. Two prostitutes was talking about their customers (Shinjuku is where the KabukiCho is situated. It's one of Tokyo's populated red light district. I bet many prostitutes get fucked at night and shower here in the morning.) One of the girls was talking how smooth was her Korean customer's skin and dick. After putting on makeup, I moved on to NihonBudoukan. It's a highly reputable event hall that most of the J-rockers or J-artist normally perform (it's actual purpose is for sports like Judo/Kendo etc.). I was there for JACK IN THE BOX Winter 2010. I missed the one in SUMMER!! which is maybe 5 times more exciting than this winter one but anyways, I made it anyways. NihonBudoukan is a concert hall that I've always wanted to visit. Since I've always heard its name before I came to Japan. I had a seat, very far from the stage, but I had loads of fun. The show lasted for SIX freaking hours. The longest I've ever attended. There were many waiting moments when they change their sets. Members of Maverick DC group took turns to give surprising performances, so all the waiting moments were worth the waiting. Only Ken chan and Hyde sama were present that day. But Hyde was a total surprise!! Ken was there at the beginning and everyone thought (maybe just me) it will just be him from L'arc. Ken chan sang Lady Gaga's Bad Romance and Telephone!!! So much FUN!!! He also tried singing L'arc's songs like Flower? I think, couldn't really remember. Or Winter Fall... maybe... with another vocalist. But none of them could reach the note!!! hahaha. I bet Hyde was laughing at the back stage. Hyde on the other hand sang some metal rock songs with his super hot rocker police outfit. HE WAS SUPER SEXY that day! Oh well, he is always SEXY! That was the day I was officially introduced to MUCC, SID... Oh Acid Black Cherry wasn't there either.... I really enjoyed Yasu, Daigo and Hyde's interactions from Halloween Party 2010 at Kobe in October 27, 2010.

MUCC and SID were impressive! Along with all other various Visual Rock Bands... oh and ZORO was impressive too.

OH I just found this line up on that day. Here goes!

M-1. 永遠の街-THE “NOISE”CITY-



"Electric Eye" Judas Priest from Session F



"Freewheel Burning" Judas Priest from Session F

“最高だ！”

Can't find any videos for 永遠の街-THE “NOISE”CITY- ... I love that song!!!

The show started at 2pm and ended at 8pm, total of six hours. I heard from the crowd that the show should end around 10pm, eight hours!?!??!?! omg. awesome... But I'm glad it ended "earlier". I met up with ex-colleagues in Tokyo around 9pm -_-" after checking in to the hotel *rushhhhh*. Then we had dinner, gossip... gossip... and more gossiping. =)

December 28, 2010 I met up with ex-colleague for lunch. And found Forever 21 in Ginza!!! Got 2 pairs of cute nighty shorts with matching eye masks. =) Happy!

Next, I dropped by Hibiya Park as I really missed this park!!! Didn't have time to roam around but I checked out the Da Vinci Secret Temp Museum. It exhibited the 25 secrets analysis of the Mono Lisa painting. Ook. I don't really know much about the painting. But now I know the 25 secrets!!! HAhahaha. And I also learnt that Da Vinci he WAS a great multitalented genius! Maybe I should read more books from now. (oh well, I am reading more books now... real books... not comic books...)

Ohhh... Hibiya Park Fountain.... my ex-lunch place... =)

Then I attended the Karaoke After Party at Shibuya AX. Administrator was the opening guest again. Then various random visual J-rocker wannabe had their time on the stage. There was one particular band who looked EXACTLY LIKE.. okay almost like L'arc!!! My photos weren't too clear. But everyone was screaming as if there were!!! Some band/solo sang VAMPS... and we were dancing VAMPS DANCE below the stage... (only less than 200 people were there... and I was standing right in front of the stage.... right in front....).

Had some trouble finding this place... it was so dark... Got out at Harajuku and walked towards NHK... then almost got lost... saw the crowd.. went with it... ended up LEMON CC hall... then finally found this building... and there's not many people there at all....

Seventh Heaven

awww... that bitch in the middle... move away!


see!!! Even their shadows looked like the real deal!!! HYDE SAMA !!!!!!!!! *screams*

Hung around abit at the end of Omotesando for the lights before taking the train at Harajuku.

December 29, 2010 I hanged out at the cafe near my hotel having breakfast and reading Murakami's "Norwegian Wood" at Gotanda station and moved towards Yokohama to meet up with Chiaki and Konomi's family for dinner. Before heading to Totsuka to meet with Konomi, I had Yokohama famous Omurice near the station and continued with my book. After meeting with Konomi at Totsuka, we took a bus and went back to her house. We had Gyoza that night! Yummy. December 30, 2010 Konomi and I went to Yokohama China Town to have some chinese food.

Konomi happy with her Singaporean Bee Hoon... (with curry powder?!?!?!)

YUMMY!!! best carrot cake and the salty meat mochi that I've been looking for ages!!!

Then we had dessert! Goma dango soup! Sesame rice balls.

We went back home that night and the sister's mom made us good dinner! Hamburg wrapped with cabbage and cooked in tomato soup....... YUMMY!!! and various Japanese style salad... I'm gonna miss that so much!!! Then we watched a movie we rented from Tsutaya. December 31, 2010 we had Takoyaki party lunch before I headed to Chiba for THE NEW YEAR concert.

I then said good bye to them and headed to Chiba, checked in hotel around 4pm and headed to Makuhari Messe to buy Official Goods. I arrived at Makuhari around 5pm. The line was already longer than the great wall of China... SCARY!!! So patiently I lined up...

5.39pm

not too bad... around 5.59pm

6pm... (wait... that huge scarf looks familiar... I have that!)



8.35pm!?!?!?!?

The doors will open at 10pm and I was planning to return to my hotel sleep for awhile and grab food before heading back... but I was almost panicking when its 8.35pm and I am still super far away.... and the line wasn't moving... there was a girl dressed up like a maid with her friend, after she talked on the phone and complaining how she was about to die in the cold (it was FREEZING... I can't even feel my toes at that time...) and she was hungry... blabla... and SHE CRIED like a baby...................@_@ *shocked* finally she gave up and left the line with her friend.... and maybe 15 minutes after that the line started moving and the line splat into two!!! I went towards the left and sailed smoothly towards the front!!! phew.... lucky...

9.04pm........... FINALLY IN THE LINE IN FRONT OF THE GOODS STAND!!!! WOHOOOO!!! you have no idea how happy I was then!!!! RELIEVED!!!!

9.12pm I ran like crazy to the station to get back to the hotel..

was struggling at that point if I should just stay but I was holding too many stuff and was without makeup!!! I can't be at the concert without makeup what if HYDE sees me?!?!?!? paranoid to the max.... so I ran like mad and went back to the station... I was keeping an eye on the Red and White yearly singing show watching out for L'Arc but they appear when I was running towards the station... After noticing everyone was watching it on mobile... by the time I took out my phone and watch it... I only saw Hyde finishing the song..-_-" OMG. Neways, they sang Bless.........

Back at the hotel, decided to ditch my down jacket... and just go with my goth dress.... and charcoal pads....*cold*...... I was running out of time!! (that was what I thought.... apparently not really...) but I will be if I just took the train back... too much walking and changing of trains!!! stupid train system... so I grabbed a cab at Makuhari station and screw the train..... Got there 20 minutes pass 10pm. Since there were too many people... my number wasn't up yet... Block A1 No.1820 and there was A0 and 1820 people before me... Got a bottle of drink, waited for a bit, and went into the hall. People were packed in the front and the right, and left side was pretty empty and I decided to stand in front of the screen at the far left, pretty close to the left hand extended stage but pretty far from the middle stage... It was a huge stage!!! I didn't get to buy any light sticks... all sold out.. but I got my own... which lasted for 15 minutes!!?!?! furious... what kind of concert light sticks last for 15 minutes!!! anyways... the concert was MARVELOUS!!!!!!!! I don't have 20 years of memories with L'arc.... but I've been dreaming of attending their concert!!!! Although totally unexpected, nothing like those I've seen on DVDs........ all the other fans were surprised too. Hyde said on stage that he didn't remember how L'Arc's concert was like anymore (too much VAMPS these two years?!?!?! heehee) until the fans started yelling each of their names!!! Then Hyde confirmed that "aww.. this is how it feels.." *CUTE* I *heart* his blonde hair!!!

L'A HAPPY NEW YEAR 2011.1.1 Full Report by Fan --> CLICK HERE

January 1-3, 2011 Kawaguchi-Ko. I checked out the hotel in the morning, went to Shinjuku and had McDonalds again (Jan 1, 2011 breakfast?!? lunch?!? )

We rested well. =) We had loads of fun staying in a super cheap Japanese style ryoukan. 6500yen for two nights no grand food share toilet and bathroom. But the view was pretty, same as the other expensive hotels around us. I was super proud of myself. I didn't even care if the seniors were complaining. It doesn't matter at all to me. All that it matters is that I get to protect my own happiness. Yes. Be jealous that I am happy. Hohoho.

Thanks Dits for this beautiful photo!!! =) Love ya!

I took loads of pretty photos of Mount Fuji. I've also went to FujiQ with the boys and saw the illumination lights... Christmas and new year's. Thanks Phil for granting my wish of not doing illumination hunting by myself anymore! We had Japanese curry rice resembling Mount Fuji for dinner (forgot about photo...).

Special Train!!!

Group photo!! (by one of four of the cute Japanese girls who passed by... )


HAPPY 2011 EVERYONE!!!
