HIATUS NOTICE

2007-10-19T21:03:00.000+10:00

Think I'll be on hiatus for about... a month maybe.

I might randomly post a few entries, but not as much as usual.

Coz of upcoming exams.

2007-10-16T20:07:00.000+10:00

Woah this site must be new or something coz I haven't even seen such a good site until today... and these types of sites shouldn't escape my notice.

Anyway, so this has like links to all these Asian dramas and movies and everything.

By the way, I think Romantic Princess episode 2 subbed it out!
Cool

http://www.mysoju.com/

omg! I heart Kim Jung Hoon!

2007-10-09T21:39:00.000+10:00

I thought this would be a nice site to share.

It's got reviews and also download links to various OSTs, movies, and dramas.

http://movie-tv-reviews.blogspot.com/

And yes, after watching a bit of Goong I've gotten a little obsessed with Kim Jung Hoon.

God why is he so cute??!!!!

I <3 Goong & current fangirl list

2007-10-08T13:16:00.000+10:00

Well I started watching Princess Hours and I gotta, say, I'm impressed!

Never before has a Korean drama actually held my interest before!

Since I'm bored and I don't have any new download links, I'll entice you with two guys that I'm fangirling over.

Arron Yan Ya Lun

One glance from Arron and a dozen fangirls drop dead.

Jae Joong

Why oh why is he so prettyyyy?!!!

K0 ONE!! I'm obsessed.

2007-10-04T19:04:00.000+10:00

I started watching this series like, a few weeks ago, even though it came out like, two years ago.

One of the main reasons was that like, the whole of Fahrenheit was in it.

Well, not as much of Wu Zhun but I was totally enjoying Arron's role.

In fact, I'm working on a KO One fanfic right now.

Don't laugh, it's true (and a little sad coz it's really crap).

Download KO One here.

almost finished watching Hanazakari no Kimitachi e episode 12

2007-10-03T22:21:00.000+10:00

Yeah I know I'm a bit late with the episodes, episode 12 came out like, ages ago, but I only watched like, two thirds of it last night.

Still haven't watched the third part yet.

But Kayashima looks sooooo freaking cute in it!!!

I took like, wayy to many screenshots.

yay Romantic Princess (bit late I know)

2007-10-02T19:55:00.000+10:00

Well actually I've only seen like, one third of it so far but it does look pretty good!

Haha and even better when I saw the subbed version coz I kinda had to guess half of what they were saying because I was watching it RAW.

Anyway, I've embedded the second part of episode one of Romantic Princess ENG SUB.

For some reason it doesn't let me embed the first part....

2007-09-29T14:52:00.000+10:00

I might have posted this, but I can't be bothered checking and also my internet is working at about 4KB/sec so I'm really pissed.

T__________________________T

Anyway, this site, you can watch like Asian dramas online, but you have to register to watch it.

http://aznv.tv/en/

great Asian drama site

2007-09-27T18:51:00.000+10:00

I'm so naughty, not starting on a english essay thing when it's due in... less than 24 hours.

Plus, not to mention I have to make brownies, to bring to school tomorrow, which I should really start like, right now.

Anyway, I was looking p stuff on veoh and I saw a comment with a link, to this site which has like, Asian dramas, all embedded on the same page so that you don't have to wait for too many pages to load or to navigate through to another page.

http://hoomie.com/asian/

A must to check out.

Arashi stuff

2007-09-25T19:01:00.000+10:00

Have I posted this??

Oh well, since there's been updates anyway, I'll post it.

It's someone's LJ.

And the user seems to be kinda obsessed with Arashi...
kinda like the same as me.

LINK

mostly explicit fangirl material

2007-09-21T19:58:00.000+10:00

OMG!!

I was on crunchyroll, and I searched up Fahrenheit, and I was like, watching this game show called Red Storm which had Fahrenheit as their guest stars.. and OH MY FUCKING GOD!

ARRON IS SOOOOOO CUTE!!!!!

There was this bit where each of the members had to charm a girl, and so Jiro sang a bit, and danced around the host, Calvin... I can't remember, I think he sang too.

And Wu Zhun like, boxed or something.
How random.

But then it was Arron's turn, and he was a little shy.
He was like, I believe I can charm a girl with my eyes.

Like, electrify her with his brilliant eyes.

FSHIZZLE!!!!!

Anyway, then he rubbed his eyes with one hand (it was soooooooooo incredibly cute), and the host was like, I'll teach you something, you can increase your cuteness factor if you rub your eyes, and then he rubbed both of his eyes and it was the cutest thing I've EVER seen in my ENTIRE life!!!!

Did I also mention that it was my birthday?
yeah.
Anyway, I found a user on youtube that has uploaded the entire series of KO ONE and also the aired episodes of The X-Family.

No subs though, but I can survive.

USER HERE

The X-Family! <3

2007-09-20T21:21:00.000+10:00

Yay! I quite like The X-Family.

Though only three episodes are subbed right now.

Anyway, when I was searching it up I found this LJ that has download links to stuff...

Did I mention I joined livejournal?

Of course, I found yet another link to a random download link.

This has links to Asian music and stuff.
Nice stuff, and seemingly obsessed with Fahrenheit.<3

download ASIAN stuff

2007-09-15T18:56:00.000+10:00

I find this forum which has tonnes of download links to dramas, music, and other stuff, all Asian related.

Most of the links require you to reply before it reveals itself, so you'll probably need to register to get all of the download links.

ASIANLOAD x COM

studying in progress...

2007-09-13T19:49:00.000+10:00

ahhhh I have been studying my f*cking ass off for the past week for IPT.

I am totally freaking stressing like hell!!!!

Seriously, someone needs to give me study tips or something because despite studying for the past week, I was not memorised a single thing!!!!!

Will blog when exam is finished and that I'm in a calmer mood.

think I already posted this....

2007-09-10T20:03:00.000+10:00

Well, like I said, I think I have already posted this link - but I just love this livejournal!

It's like continually updated with TONNES of download links to like, Asian dramas, singles and albums.

It's like, in another language though. I can't tell - is it Philipino? Or Indonesian?

Anyway, subs for Hanazakari no Kimitachi e episode 10 haven't come out!
Ahhhh.

2007-09-06T20:51:00.000+10:00

direct torrent link for "The Secret" movie directed by Jay Chou

2007-09-02T19:34:00.000+10:00

Since someone requested it, and I'm in a happy mood because I now know that someone actually went to my blog, I'll post the torrent link for The Secret.

http://www.yy11.cn/attachment.php?aid=230047

You can just click add, on you bittorrent program and enter the link, that way you can directly save it.

By the way, the file is split into two parts, and it's in rmvb format so you'll either have to download Realplayer or the codec or you have to convert it into a video format that you want.

yay! currently in a MUCH better mood!

2007-08-31T22:13:00.000+10:00

Guess what?

Liar game episode 11 parts are finally out!!!!!

Yes!!!

Anyway, and also I found the torrent for The Secret, the movie that Jay Chou stars and directs in. For a torrent, it's actually quite fast - well 10Kb/sec isn't fast but its faster than the other ones I've used.

It's currently... 71.8% complete.

So, onto what I was supposed to post about.

Found yet another cool livejournal site where the person uploads tonnes of dramas.

Arimi-uploads

too pissed...

2007-08-28T20:30:00.000+10:00

Yeah, I'm currently fuming right now so I'm not in the right state of mind to post any download links...

Let me just explain my situation because I really feel like venting.

I was looking up The Story of Taro Yamada on veoh, and the person whom I usually download it from didn't exist anymore! So either their account got deleted or banned or something! Which means all the videos are gone with them!!!

There were not other english subbed version of The Story of Taro Yamada on veoh! Whatsoever!
I can't just watch it on crunchyroll because I have to download it and post it on the G drive!!!

Goddamn it!!!!

And I have to find a place to download 不能说的秘密 this movie by directed by Jay Chou, and he plays the main lead too. Don't get me wrong, I don't like Jay Chou or anything - his songs are ok though I guess - I just want to download it because someone requested it at school and it sounded quite interesting...

Japanese dramas to watch #3

2007-08-26T20:39:00.000+10:00

Well, I mainly started which this drama because it has Matsuda Shota in it, and also because it was a psychological thriller, which I thought was pretty cool, and the plot was totally original (based on a manga)

Liar Game

Online Videos by Veoh.com

Episode 11 subs aren't out yet, by the way.
Download the RAW and links to softsubs HERE.

Japanese dramas to watch #2

2007-08-24T19:51:00.000+10:00

I first have to mention that these dramas are not in order of preference - just as they come into my head.

Hanazakari no Kimitachi e (Ikemen Paradise)

This is based on the manga by the same name. A Taiwanese version was made of this, but they're totally different in style.

The Taiwanese one is more focused into silly and funny comedy acts, while this Japanese version has its more... lighter side and sentimental moments.

Both are pretty entertaining though.

Taiwanese dramas to watch #1

2007-08-23T19:35:00.000+10:00

I'm going to cover Japanese and Taiwanese movies and dramas to watch... just not Korean.

Anyway, MARS is a really great Taiwanese drama!
It's not cliche and has a hot cast (Vic Zhou!!!!<3) Plus it has a psychological twist to it.

HANA YORI DANGO

Seriously, this was the first Jap drama that I watched and it the best.
And keep an eye out for Matsuda Shota in here, he plays Sojiro.

update to the entry below...

2007-08-20T06:52:00.000+10:00

Well I don't know if this has any relevance to the random site below, but I was looking at it and it said something about a program called eMule.

So I looked that up on google and it's some form of file sharing program, so I guess it's got to do with how you can download files from that site.

probably only for people who can read Chinese...

2007-08-18T12:20:00.000+10:00

Well there's this site that looks like a download site of some sort, but frankly I can't understand it because it's in Chinese and makes even less sense when I translate it into English.
Plus, when I click on the supposed download link, it goes onto a page saying that I should have some random program installed.

Anyway, if you're lucky you might sus this site out.

download asian movies!

2007-08-16T19:22:00.000+10:00

Found this site like, 20 mintures ago, while trying to find a place to download Heavenly Forest, which sounded really cool on wikipedia.

http://movies.blogmas.com/

I haven't really checked out the site that much but it seems to have a lot of stuff, and theres a handy search option, so you can actually search for it, unlike silentregrets. T_T

download free music albums on blogspot

2007-08-14T18:33:00.000+10:00

A brief list of blogspot pages where you can download free music :

emotionalinx lots of good rock and hardcore bands
billiam a variety of rock music
mixtapebandit a collection of RnB and rap
medanmusic a variety of albums... (they have The Bourne Ultimatum soundtrack!)
audiolocker large variety ranging from soundtracks to indie

Enjoy!

search engine for videos!

2007-08-12T20:10:00.000+10:00

I found this site just yesterday.

And I can't believe I haven't found this site earlier!

The only bad thing about it is though, you have to search for the exact phrase, for example I was looking for 'Pride and Prejudice' and I typed that in, but nothing came up because they were listed as 'Pride & Prejudice.'

But I supposed you can just type in 'pride' or 'prejudice' and hopefully it would come up.

The site is called videolemon.

VIDEOLEMON

downloaddddddd Asian music!!

2007-08-09T19:19:00.000+10:00

Well this is a well known Chinese site - in China, but not really here.

It might be a bit confusing for you if you don't know how to read Chinese (I don't) but I managed to stumble around and find the song I wanted. You just need to know who the artist or song name in - in Chinese characters.

6621.com

You can also go to a site called:

BAIDU

This site is kind of like google, but more for media downloads. You have to type them in Chinese characters though, because it'll just be like a normal search engine if you type in English on the site.

Nana the movie

2007-08-07T19:06:00.000+10:00

I'm a bit late posting this (but whatever).

Nana is a Japanese movie that came out a few years ago, and it stars Matsuda Shota's brother! Not as good-looking as his brother though, sometimes I wonder is they're actually related.

But anyway.

secret way

2007-08-02T20:28:00.000+10:00

This is the way I've been downloading most of my songs:

intitle:index.of "mp3" "band name/song name here" -asp -html -htm -php

Search that on google and type in band/song name. Then go to the pages that have titles like 'index: ~something random'.

You would usually see the song files as title.mp3, which then you only need to right click, save target as, then select the location for it to download to.

2007-07-29T20:28:00.000+10:00

Here's a random site where you can download songs:

InfoEx

Yes, anyway. I got my friend to look up baby names right now - because I'm desperately hating my name.

I was thinking of Nadine - I always thought that was a cool name.
She suggested Pyrene... it looks like a nice name to spell but reminds of me those microwavable bowls.. what are they called? Pyrex or something?

And also, Phedra. Hmmmm uncommon (which I like) but I don't know....

Ohhhh just started watching Life On Mars. It's a pretty good show - the John Simm(s?) plays The Master in Doctor Who!

bebo

2007-07-28T14:55:00.000+10:00

OK, through no choice of my own, I now have a bebo account.

My friend actually joined for me. Now I have to use it because I hate abandoning things...

Username's cultjam- if you want to add.

I was searching 'David Tennant' on youtube and I came up with this special episode of The Weakest Link (yes, I know I embedded a video in a previous entry) but that was before I got to part two - where the actor John Barrowman sings the Doctor Who theme song!

You would think that it's impossible to sing it, because it HAS NO LYRICS but he does it really well.

SO WATCH IT! xD

yes, I know

2007-07-27T18:57:00.000+10:00

OK, I know I said that this blog was going to be an index of download links...

but I'm all out at the moment.

So I'm going to rant on about my boring life until I can find some download links.

Yes, and obviously I change my layout.

You can tell it's not made by me because it actually works!

Awwww David Tennant! On The Weakest Link!

Damn I love the Doctor.

general places to download Asian dramas

2007-07-19T20:34:00.000+10:00

Well I'm in a very lazy mood right now, so I might just list the general places to download Asian dramas.

These below are sites with a range of dramas, I have yet to list the fansub sites.

Idols Unlimited

Silentregrets

Chinky's movie spoiler

veoh (sign up for a free account, search for the drama and click download)

crunchyroll (ok no downloads but sign up for a free account to watch a large range)

stage6.divx (download divx player, search for video, then after its loaded right click and click 'save video as')

d-addicts (mainly torrents though, but good place for subs)

a change of heart

2007-07-17T21:00:00.000+10:00

Well, I've decided that there's no point of two blogs about my personal life, so I'm gonna make this blog into like an index of download links for Asian dramas.

Well not gonna start now...
but I'm being very ambitious here

We'll see out it goes

??? movie madness ???

2007-07-15T16:50:00.000+10:00

Just one thing I wanted to talk about...

Isn't it weird how some movies open in Australia earlier than the rest of the world?

Like for Transformers for example.

I think it opened in Australia first, then it opened in the USA like day later, and it hasn't even premiered in the UK yet!

I mean, shouldn't the US get the premier first? Not that I'm complaining... it's kinda cool to get the movies here first...

HP5!

2007-07-13T20:52:00.000+10:00

I watched Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix today...

ok since I can't be bothered blogging about anything more interesting I'll try and give a brief review of the movie.

Well, first of all I would like to say that the movie lacked some elements... it wasn't exactly suspenseful, and I certainly wasn't at the edge of my seat waiting to see what happened next.

Even though I've read the book, I've forgotten what happens to I'm not being biased here.

The cinematography was great though, and I as always, loved the film score.

The whole movie was a bit wishy washy and the emotions weren't played out that well by Daniel Radcliffe... Emma Watson did a good job though I reckon...

haha and some of it was actually funny!

Hermione: "Ron, just because you have the emotional range of a teaspoon doesn't mean we all do."

*starts laughing hysterically*

Hermione: "Sort of exciting isn it, breaking the rules?"

Ron: "Who are you and what have you done with Hermione Granger?"

Tonks: "Ah well...wand still in your jeans? Both buttocks still on? OK, let's go. Locomotor trunk."

must have item!

2007-07-11T15:21:00.000+10:00

omg!!!!

I really really want these headphones...

The Sennheiser PXC 450.

They're really pretty and slick and cool and apparently cancel out 90% of background noise, and they have a 'push to talk' feature which allows you to talk to someone without taking off the whole thing.

Isn't that cool?

I'm on their site right now but it's really lagging my computer... =o

I didn't mention this earlier but when Cecilia and I went to watch Transformers, we saw this movie poster of Bratz!!!

Like, ewwwwwww!
Totally grossed out.

I bet it's not even gonna make it past the million mark.

first kiss

2007-07-10T20:27:00.000+10:00

Even though I actually blogged on Sunday (I think?) it seemed like I haven't been on for like, a week or something.

First Kiss starring Inoue Mao came out yesrerday!!

Found a place to download it:
HERE

I haven't even watched it yet... because there's like no subs.

Ahh well, have to wait.

And I've been having some problems with Veoh download.

I was trying to download Ikemen Paradise and the second part was stuck at 99.8% and it was like 0KB/sec....

arghhhhh I got really pissed then I followed someone's advise to copy the file (which is actually in the directory) into the same place and then cancel the download and add that file into the library.. actually worked!
*ahem* the second time that is. So basically I wasted 150MB+ the first time...

thank god for blogspot drafts

2007-07-08T12:45:00.000+10:00

hmmm you can almost predict what I'm going to say - yes, I'm in the process of attempting to make yet another ~~crap~~ layout.

Ohhhhhh, and we bought a new TV yesterday. It's a 32 inch LCD... smaller than expected, but still good I guess.

Isn't it pretty?

And a random picture from the movie Transformers, which you should sooo totally see.

<3 Transformers

2007-07-07T22:53:00.000+10:00

I have to be really quick here...

my grandparents are like gonna sleep in a few minutes and I'm in their bedroom.

Just wanted to rant quickly.

Ahhhh I wanted Nana yesterday, and that girl that plays Nana in it, the rock chick one, she look so freaking skinny!

Like, almost anorexic or something.

noooooooooooo!

2007-07-06T15:37:00.000+10:00

I'm having a hard time here, using the computer without a mouse.

Gahhhhh as soon as I find the person who took my mouse away I'm gonna get my revenge.

Currently looking for a good layout for Carina, who just signed up for a blog!
lol
Can't do anything right now coz I have no mouse

ikemen paradise!

2007-07-05T20:10:00.000+10:00

OMG!

I didn't know Hanazakari no Kimitachi e aka Ikemen Paradise already came out!

And the subs are out for it!

Look it up at D-addicts.

SUBS HERE

And I found a place to download it, though the file is close to 1GB!!

Download it here

lomo! lomo! lomo!

2007-07-04T15:10:00.000+10:00

I was trying to make a layout yesterday, and somehow the div layers won't show up when I tried it on my blog.

How intensely annoying.

and another update in my Liar Game situation... did I mention I finally finished downloading all 1.57GB of it!

And I skimmed through the whole video, (which had a Jap ad which someone forgot to cut out I guess) and of course I didn't have a clue as to what they were saying.

Half of it was flashbacks though.

Oh well, still that leaves more than an average episode of Liar Game goodness.

Oh, and my latest must have...

A Lomo camera!

They make the prettiest photos!

mmmmmm

2007-07-03T12:41:00.001+10:00

Ahhhh.

Oops, I accidentally pressed enter when I typed in my blog entry title and it just posted!

I didn't know it could do that...

Anyway, moving on...

I was looking up Matsuda Shota on wikipedia.. and they finally made a page for him there!

he previously only had a drama-wiki page up there...

anyway, and I looked down at his list of dramas and I clicked on one that I haven't heard of before, and there was this really adorable pic of him, next to this actress *jealous*. She was pretty.. but anyway.

I'm gonna post this now coz my computer is going really unstable right now....

its july!

2007-07-01T14:36:00.000+10:00

I tried desperately to make a layout today, but with no progress.

Seriously, was like opening up so many pages on Frontpage coz none of them turned out right and now I've given up.

I might try again on Tuesday but that's by drama time... hmmm what should I watch?! xP

At the end, I decided that I'm going to make an iframe thing.

But I'm not so sure about the coding and such.

don't care

2007-06-30T21:37:00.000+10:00

I'll try and keep this nice and short.
You know what I've realised?
The bar thing at the top of blogspots doesn't show up on mine!

So I think there's some random override thing on the layout....
arghhhhh I don't think I like this layout anymore!

I shall change it...
which usually takes me about 2 weeks coz I have to make my own and I have to gather all my willpower to do that (and enough self esteem so that when it turns out crap, which is always does, I stil would have some left!)

doesn't matter what I put here

2007-06-30T21:15:00.000+10:00

I really have to make a way for the titles of the blog entries to show up...
Anyway, I just finished watching Doctor Who.

Brilliant, as always.

*sigh*
sometimes I dream of random adventures I could have with the Doctor.

Now that's really silly.

There's nothing good on TV today, well tonight.

I remember how they always have a good movie lined up on Saturday, but now it's like crap everything.

That's why I'm on the computer on a Saturday night.
Well, and alsoo coz my mum told me to start the computer up coz she wanted to talk to her brother or something.

Anyway, I'll be back with something a bit more interesting to talk about later.

posts aren't showing up again!!!

2007-06-29T20:01:00.000+10:00

ARghhhhh why is it blogger that always have these kinds of problems??!!

Actually blogdrive has them too but whatever.

Nothing to inform you as of now.

I can't watch any dramas or anything because my internet is working REALLY slow right now.

Which reminds me of why I am on in the first place. I'm supposed to burn some stuff onto CDs so I can delete them from my computer...

And I shall have a new layout up here soon...

CNDAN

2007-06-28T19:22:00.000+10:00

Remember this day, as it is the day that CNDAN is created.

The foundation is set up by Cindy and me, and our aim is to put Asian dramas on the G drive.

Cindy's job is to make sure the files don't get deleted. She also makes backup copies and stuff.

And my job is to download the dramas.

Sounds exciting huh?

Anyway, omfg!!!
I was trying to download the rest of the Liar Game finale. It's broken up into seven parts, and the whole file is 1.6G.

I've downloaded up to part 6, and when I tried to download part 7 today, the speed was like 7kb/sec!!!

That's really outrageous. I checked with my ISP, and it said I still has about 200MB to use up.

WHAT THE HELL????

Yeah, I'm just really pissed right now.

Well I guess I shouldn't really worry because the subs don't even come out till like, 2 to 3 weeks later.

I'll just have to watch it raw... I don't really mind.
(Matsuda Shota!<3)

I hope the ending is good, and not too cliche or something

doctor who!

2007-06-26T19:37:00.000+10:00

omg!!!!
It's coming back!!!

This Thursday!!

I'm so excited!

Except for the fact that we're 7 MONTHS BEHIND ENGLAND!!!!!

But they're gonna start showing it at Saturday as well.

Coz the one screened at Thursday is like a Xmas special, and its especially long and stuff.

I'm thinking of making a myspace layout... should I?
I don't know...

AND AND AND!!!!
Liar Game episode 11 is out!

It turns out there was something wrong with my computer and somehow it does show up the updated pages so I was looking at old unupdated pages of the place where I download it from, which is why it didn't appear
(And also why I had to resort to torrents, but I gave up coz it went up to 3.6% and just STOPPED!)

Finale...
I hope it has a good ending, and one that's not too cliche.

And did I mention our satellite started working now?
After buying a whole new one?!

Except it has all the crap channels.

But I guess we can change which satellite we can point at.

yes! Liar Game episode 10 subs are out!!!

2007-06-24T12:15:00.000+10:00

Yes! Finally!

Now I can finally watch it.

Actually, episode 11 is supposed to be out right now but the sites where I can download them from don't have it up yet...
I don't blame them.

They have to split the file which is probably over 1.2GB into bits of about 450MB and then upload all of that unto megaupload or something.

And they said that we shouldn't expect subs foe the finale to be out at least 3 weeks after.

*sigh*

I'll try to keep my mind off it...

I'm trying to think of what I can put on my blog header image for my blogdrive layout but I have a mind blank!!!!

Arghhh...

Nothing goes with the theme!

And uploadign music onto imeem is making my computer lag...

huan huan ai

2007-06-22T19:43:00.000+10:00

This is the second (or is it the third) time I've posted about Why Why Love.

Just to clear things up, I'm not obsessed or anything.

In fact, I haven't even seen the full episode.
And I don't plan to anytime soon.

But I'll just say that I found a place to download it from.
http://intangiblefs.livejournal.com/ is subbing it.

Another thing I've noticed.

Is it just me or do Taiwanese dramas tend to take longer to sub than Japanese dramas?

Well, I don't know but my friends were really into Corner With Love like, ages ago, and then they haven't even finished subbing the series!

And like, Liar Game, is quite recent, and the subs come out like at most a week after the episode comes out.

why why love

2007-06-21T19:27:00.000+10:00

Actually, I don't really watch Why Why Love, or Huan Huan Ai as it is called in Pinyin, because it doesn't really look that interesting...

Or maybe it's just coz I can't understand half of it because it had no subs.

But they guys are so ugly!

Like, that guy from The Devil Beside You is in it!

Actually, I think I've mentioned this before!

Anyway, so I still want to download it, just because I'm nice and I'll put it on the G drive at school so that people can watch it.

obsessing over Matsuda Shota

2007-06-19T20:55:00.000+10:00

I can't help it...
he's just sooooo cuuuutttteeeeee!!!!

Anyway, my hormones aside

ARGHHH I'm so pissed at my dad!

He won't buy a new computer and he always goes on whenever I want to go on, so basically he just freaking kicks me off everytime!!
And he's the one that gets pissed!

Like, hello?!
What about me here?

So I can't even do my homework now??

yay! subs for Liar Game episode 9 is out!

2007-06-17T18:40:00.000+10:00

Yes! I can finally watch it!

And I'm downloading episode 10 right now...

I can't believe it's so close to the end already!

Went shopping with Casey today. She wanted to buy everything fluro!

I'm so not the fluro type... but she's obsessed with colours

And did I mention I watched Torchwood yesterday?

Forgive me if I did, I have a really bad memory. I don't even know if I blogged yesterday.

But I'll rant on anyway.

I know Captain Jack Harkness was in some previous episodes of Doctor Who but I really couldn't remember him so I had to look it up on wikipedia.

But now I know. Now I remember!

He was in that episode with those creepy people wearing the gas masks and the weird amulance with the cyclinder thing with the glowing yellow particles.

Nano technology or something...

And he was the guy that has Rose swooning...

Except I don't remember Rose resurrecting him or anything, but that's how Captain Jack Harkness can heal himself and is kinda immortal...

I remember accidentally watching episode 3 of season 3 of Doctor Who (Gridlock) and Martha Jones doesn't seem too bad... though no one can replace Rose.

She was the best.

That episode where she was was sooooooo sad! I totally cried!

Anyway, The Face of Boen said to the Doctor that 'you and I are the last of our kind, but you are not alone' or something like that.

The Doctor doesn't believe him but that will be revealed at the season finale of season 3... which hasn't even started airing in Australia yet!!!

We're seven months behind!!!!

They showed the 2005 Christmas Special at July 2006 here!

I wish for a new layout...

2007-06-16T12:06:00.000+10:00

Seriously, I don't know why, but even the prettiest layouts start getting on my nerves when I've had it for over a fortnight.

Like this one...

but as much as I want to change it, I hate using other people's layouts.

And also, theirs are so good!

I'm so jealous...
*sigh*

I've tried and tried but I just can't get as good as them

finished downloading Meteor Garden!

2007-06-14T19:56:00.000+10:00

I should be doing my IPT right now, but oh well.

I'm thinking if I should watch the movie Nana.

I don't want watch it mainly because Matsuda Shota's brother is in it. I don't know why but I just don't like him.

I like his brother though.

Matsuda Shota is extremely and ridiculously hot and cute and good-looking.

Did I spell ridiculous right? Anyway, but I saw some screencaps for Nana 2 and it looks pretty good (and I don't think he's in this sequel)

I guess some of you might be saying 'why the fuck can't you just watch the second one?'

But I have really weird logics and morals and weird obsessive compulsive behaviours. I just can't read/watch something if I haven't read/watched the prequel - it makes me feel weird and bad.

Anyway, so should I watch it?

Arghhhhh Liar Game episode 9 subs is still not out yet. I'm loading Proposal Daisakusen episode 5 right now. I'm way behind.

And I just finished downloading the first episode of Meteor Garden. Hope it's good.

Jerry Yan ;D

Safari for Windows

2007-06-12T18:35:00.000+10:00

So maybe I was hiding under a rock for the past few weeks, but I only found out today that the Mac people released Safari for Windows!

I like, fell in love Safari web browser ever since I tried it in a Dick Smith store like years ago, and I've liked it ever since (lol, I sound like I'm describing a crush or something)

And as if I didn't love enough already.

Oh shit. I've realised that somehow the keyboard shortcut Control+U doesn't seem to work on the Safari browser...

but othet than that, I can't find any faults with it!

I even like the font, and the colours and everything!

OMG! And the scrollbar it like the Mac one!

much a blog about nothing

2007-06-10T19:01:00.000+10:00

Blogging everyday isn't something that I want to do... you have nothing to blog about!
Unless you live a seriously dangerous and interesting life which you're willing to share, which I don't.

And people don't want to hear what your stomach content is anyway, unless you're like Britney Spears or something, whom I'm not either.

damn dodgy Chinese satellite tv

2007-06-09T11:29:00.000+10:00

You know how my grandparents bought a satellite tv with them when they came here?
Well, its not WORKING!

Seriously, we've tried like everything! Plus it's raining like really heavily, so we can't do much about the satellite dish at the moment.

God this is soo annoying.
Totally destroyed my hopes of catching some Asian tv shows... (namely dramas!)

Well can't blog that much right now - dad's gonna come back anytime now...

desperately waiting for Liar Game episode 9 to come out...
oh but I just remembered - it's like 3 hours or something! Damn... have to wait a while

friday night in

2007-06-08T19:44:00.000+10:00

Long weekend. Soooooo looking forward to it. xD

Oops. That actually sounded sarcastic. But seriously, I am looking forward. Maybe it's just me constant sarcastic attitude towards life.
Great. Look at me. I sound like a counsellor now.

It's really weird though, because my penpal in China said that they has a long weekend as well.
So Australia has a long weekend because it's like the Queen's birthday or something.

But why do they have the long weekend? I'm pretty sure China doesn't give a shit about the Queen...

Ikemen Paradise!

2007-06-07T19:56:00.000+10:00

Ok, this is really late news, and I found out like last week or something but I'll share it with my non-existent buddies anyway.

They're going to make a Jap version of Hana Kimi, the drama!
And it's going to star Oguri Shun!
And unfortunately that model guy from HYD, the sleezy guy that kidnapped poor Makino. He's soooo UGLY!.
And it's going to air in July.

shit shit shit

2007-06-06T13:20:00.000+10:00

Arghhhh I just posted an entry and it isn't showing up!!!
and I refreshed the page like, 4 times!
well I hope this one would show up at least...

proposal daisakusen!

2007-06-06T13:10:00.000+10:00

I started watching this Jap drama yesterday...
I guess it's quite good, but not as addictive as say, Hana Yori Dango, or Liar Game.

Yamashita Tomohisa is so cute in this! Though I think the characters are really weird... like their behaviour and personality and stuff.
And the girl, Rei, she looks wayyyyyy older than him (Ken). Which is really weird, and makes him look like a toy-boy.

But I guess the idea of dating a younger guy is more open in Japan... as shown in a lot of past Jap dramas that I've watched or been informed about.

sick of this layout already...

2007-06-05T18:31:00.000+10:00

Call me fickle, but I put on this layout like, on Sunday or something, and I'm already sick of it...
or maybe I'm just being biased and mean because I didn't make it. T_T

I'm currently on stage6.divx, trying to find some full length videos. I really want to watch Disturbia again! I loved that movie!
And Shia Lebeouf is cool!
And so's Sarah.

But it's not there.

And somehow I managed to stray onto videos tagged jdoramas... <3.
What? It wasn't me... honest xD.

And another movie that I wanted to download - The Scanner Darkly.

It has to be the coolest looking movie EVER!
The effects look like the 'find poster edges' filter on Photoshop!

How freaking cool is that?
Anyway, so I found a video tagged 'scanner darkly' and I thought, 'wow, maybe's its my lucky day' but then after watching it for like 5 minutes, when there was finally some dialogue, some random Spanish video was like recorded over the top of the originial English one.

How annoying is that?!

finished my blogdrive layout

2007-06-03T12:39:00.000+10:00

I know I'm kind of repeating what I said on my blogdrive, but I really am quite happy with the new layout for my blogdrive.
You can visit it here.

Anyway, when I was putting in the credits for my layout, I had forgotten where I had gotten some of the photoshop brushes that I used, which is really annoying.

Like, I know it's my fault that I can't remember but they can at least put in one of those brushes that has their name on it. I was googling everything that seemed remotely related to what the brushes were but I couldn't find anything at all.

God this is so frustrating. I like my credits nice and neat, and correct!

Back from camp!

2007-06-01T20:34:00.001+10:00

Yep, I'm back!

But I don't really feel like recounting the last few days... because I can't be bothered.

Basically, this is a brief outline:

bad camp food

large cabin numbers (10 in our cabin)

didn't sleep till 12 something each night because we were either having a bitch-fest or staying up all night watching Stargate Atlantis

freezing cold

someone popped a fart bomb

talent quest was funny

I was in time to catch Heroes

couldn't have proper showers because there were always people waiting

haven't washed my face properly for three days

missed my computer

went to Blue Mountains, Abercrombie Caves, Bathurst Goldfields, Bathurst Fossil & Mineral Museum

accommodation was at a farm

Anyway, here's a tourist-like picture I took of the Three Sisters...

going away for three days...

2007-05-29T19:46:00.000+10:00

Yep, I can tell that you're glad to get rid of me.
I'm going to be away for three days, because of camp.
It's going to be quite boring actually, and I actually haven't started packing yet!

Cecil and me bought like two magazines yeterday, as preparation for the trip to camp, to cure the boredom. They were pretty expensive too!
Like, it was $20 altogether for just two magazines!

Anyway, I was like avidly downloading songs before, so that I won't get sick of my songs on my mp3.

OMG! And I was reading jland before, and I read a translation of an interview that that screenwriter guy who wrote Hana Yori Dango, and he said there will definitely be something more, but it's not necessarily going to be on tv... I wonder what it can be?!
So exciting!

arrrrr! me hearties!

2007-05-27T11:17:00.000+10:00

I'm in a total pirate mood right now.
♥Pirates of the Caribbean♥
♥Orlando Bloom♥
♥Johnny Depp♥
♥Keira Knightley♥ (not in the lesbian way, of course)
and ♥the soundtrack♥

Pirates=♥♥♥♥♥

Ok, ok, I'll try restrain myself now.

Yeah, I guess you've worked out that I've seen it.
I watched it yesterday with some friends on the Gmax screen!

And now I'm downloading the soundtrack...

I'm sorry, I'm boring you with my rants on POTC.

Back later with some more interesting things to talk about.

damn my false hope...

2007-05-24T20:14:00.000+10:00

Ok, I've finally started trying to make a new layout...

*ahem*
Correction.

I, erm, opened Frontpage on my computer and am about to start on a layout... but did I mention that fact that I have no idea what to put as my header picture?!

I'm not like those creative people who are born with Photoshopping skills and just come up with brilliant ideas with a snap of their fingers.

I had this idea for a blog header, which was kind of like a portal/window thing and you're looking through, and you see this random garden or something.
But perhaps I should save that for my blogdrive instead.

I don't know.

places to watch tv!

2007-05-22T19:41:00.001+10:00

OK, since I don't really have anything to blog about, and that on one would be interested if I blog anyway, I've complied a list of places where you can watch tv shows online. No, I don't mean like live streaming sites like glozy, I mean places which provide links to upload sites where you can watch tv shows that are shown on normal tv except you may have missed it for a random reason...

God, I'm still relying on the false hope that randoms will stumble across my blog and comment or something. So much for optimism. I really need to make some friends on blogspot - no one blogs anymore and everyone's on random blog hosting services, and they update like once every month or something! And they go on the computer more than me!

Anyway, where was I?

Oh, yes, places to watch tv shows online:

peekvid - good site, though not updated very often
quicksilverscreen - well it looks like a tv show site but whenever I try and watch something it never loads properly... or is it just me?
alluc - loads pretty slow for me, and there's ads
freetvlinks - not very updated though
pokergently - it has Doctor Who! <3 That's enough for me
tv-links - probably the best site ever, regularly updated too
applebee - I found this over the weekend =]
tv-video - up-to-date, though the screen is kind of small...
tv-cells - this doesn't seem to work for me either...
selectvideo - great shows, and nice layout!
joox - good quality videos, but not a very large variety
Vid2C - has a large range of videos
Show Stash - has old and new stuff

That's all I feel like listing today... and if all else fails, just look up your tv shows at the source of all these sites - uploading sites like stage6.divx, veoh, and dailymotion are good ones.

And I know I mentioned glozy earlier, and I said that it was a live streaming tv site, well it actually provides links to videos and stuff as well, just go to glozy.com and scroll down the bottom, and you'll see the link 'television database' click on that and you should see links. But my computer always decides not to respond at that time - ALWAYS!

Hope you'll have better luck than me.

Sorry for the long post. xD

I love osts!

2007-05-20T11:43:00.000+10:00

A really weird interest of mine is that I really like listening to film scores and osts!
Like, not just movie soundtracks, but those background music things that have no lyrics or anything, just classical instruments and pianos and stuf.

Is that strange?

Anyway, we've been getting back some of our tests back this week.

As usual, I didn't do so well.

I managed to get 93.5% for the maths test, but the average was really high, so compared to other people, it's not a very good mark.

Got 72% for science - exactly what I thought I'll get. I don't really care about science so I guess I don't mind that mark.

I got 91% for commerce - could have gotten higher except for a few stupid mistakes but I guess I'm pretty happy with that.

And, I got 100% for Chinese. It was pretty easy so nearly everyone got 100% anyway.

Liar Game episode 6 is out! Except I haven't even finished downloading episode 5 yet... I'm downloading the third part right now... 82%... so slow...

damn alternate days!

2007-05-17T19:36:00.000+10:00

Garhhh! This is really annoying, only going on the computer on alternate days. It's because my stupid parents won't let me go on the computer everyday.
And you know what this results in?
Updating both of my blogs at the same time. And what does that mean? It means no matter how hard I try, I always end up talking about the same stuff in both of my blogs!

How freaking annoying!

God my &%#@ing internet speed is oh-so-slow!
It's going at like 20kb/sec right now. Great for downloading huge episodes of Liar Game huh? *sarcasm*
Subs for Liar Game episode 5 aren't out yet =[

eating apple so therefore allow for typos

2007-05-15T19:51:00.000+10:00

Yeah, my mum was kind enough to shave me an apple for me to eat. How nice.
Anyway, so I'm using my right hand my left pinkie to type.

Liar Game episode 5 is out! I haven't gotten time to watch episode 4 yet. Downloading it now...

I think I'm getting more and more obsessed with Matsuda Shota. Whenever I'm feeling down I'll just go to my pictures and have a slideshow of all the pictures I have of him. So cute!
You should see all the magazine scans I downloaded from boys_paper @ Livejournal.

And I know I promised a new layout soon... but I haven't gotten around to it yet. I know, how freaking lazy of me. Maybe I'll PS some pics of me for my blog first.

A few things I've learnt

2007-05-12T19:44:00.000+10:00

Ahhhh my newfound freedom... if only this could last forever. Unfortunately not. Straight after exams its just back to work, work and more work.

Such cruelty they treat us with *sniff*

Leading us into a false sense of security and then, BAM! Hit us with all the work they can feed us within the legal limit.

A few things happened in the past few days. Harper (our commerce teacher) admitted to having a 'perverted sense of humour'

Yes, her very own words!

I got a little freaked then.

And ummm, there was some other things too, but I forgot. Ok, if I remember then I'll update.

Oh, and here's a picture of my desk with all the study notes on it. The side effects of exams...

Messy huh?

yay! exams are over

2007-05-10T18:30:00.000+10:00

Yes, I know the title of this entry is like basically to same as my blogdrive one - I guess that's what happens when I update both of my blogs one after another.
But like I mentioned earlier - the exams are over! I got ok for Chinese, but for science, english, geography and practically every other subject I failed.

Now I can watch Asian dramas and fill my head with silly thoughts.

By the way, Liar Game episode 4 is out!

And subs are here

just... a little bit longer

2007-05-06T12:36:00.000+10:00

Uh-huh. You have to wait one more week until I can totally devote myself to making a blogspot layout. In the meantime, you just have to endure my boring rantings on a boring page. God. I'm supposed to be studying right now.

On Animal Farm and Romeo and Juliet. But I'm not, obviously.

I'll just have to fluke it like last year... and the year before that. No wonder I get so bad.

Liar Game!

2007-05-05T17:46:00.000+10:00

I just finished watching Liar Game episode 3, starring Matsuda Shota! Very addictive, and it ends in a total cliffhanger. Episode 4 was supposed to air yesterday I think... can't wait till it comes out!

Anyway, I was browsing through youtube on Thursday and my friend told me to watching this vlogging thing. I wasn't very familiar with video blogging and I found it to be very interesting indeed. Check out this person called Natalie - she's very funny, and very good with the camera.

newcomer

2007-05-03T19:53:00.000+10:00

Hey! To the non-existent people who are reading this right now.
This is my first post EVER on blogspot! Be proud of me people!
Anyway, I've got a blogdrive is if anyone wants to look there, go ahead. I will be keeping a blogspot and a blogdrive - let's see how it goes. I'll try not to do anything tacky like copying and pasting my blogdrive posts onto here, and vice versa, but we'll see =]

Apparently, according to my css expert friend, blogspot layouts are really hard to make so I'll probably put up a pre-made layout on (I can't guarantee it tonight though) until I can actually understand how blogger codes work... patience is a virtue. I just realised I quoted Domyoji from Hana Yori Dango, who was attempting to quote Hemingway... (did I spell that right?!) ahhhh I love Hana Yori Dango. And Matsuda Shota is HOT!!

Anyway, I'll better get back to studying for that IPT test that's on tomorrow...
