this is definitely one of the best PVs I've ever seen.
(not that I'm a sadist or what... but the way it's shot just awes me.)
I think I'm in love with her whispery vocals and unique music style.
Not to mention her very mysterious background (so little is known about her!).
Nevertheless, she has caught my attention. For a good reason. :)
Rurutia. (it means 'blissful rain' in Tahitian)

When I was young
I'd listen to the radio
Waitin' for my favorite songs
When they played I'd sing along
It made me smile.
Lookin' back on how it was
In years gone by
And the good times that I had
Makes today seem rather sad
So much has changed.
All my best memories
Come back clearly to me
Some can even make me cry.
Just like before
It's yesterday once more.
- 'Yesterday Once More' by CarpentersMy parents used to sing this to me when I was still a simple-minded, innocent young girl.
My colleagues sang this in the office when I was a much more complicated young lady.
And now, here I am, being who I am today, singing along to this song which is just so unbearably nostalgic...
Every sha la la la...
Every single song I listened to,
every single word that accompanies the music,
every thought that were perceived by me through the crotchets, quavers...
they all mean a lot to me.
what's truly embedded within.
what I keep within.
what I yearn to hear.
what they sing to me.
what I sing to them.
what my heart truly sings.

jasmine, what the hell is wrong with you?
DAMN MYSELF.
I should crawl into some sewage and live there permanently.
finally, this very familiar feeling of disappointment came to haunt me again.
I'm thoroughly convinced why it's just plain stupid to think about the future.
because my dream could be shattered any moment now.
I'm really just,
walking on the edge.
10:13 PM
I'm going back in time...
Just finished watching 'Secret' by Jay Chou on tv.
(with about a million question marks over my head.)
I should get rid of this stupid want to have logical explanations for everything.
and leave things as they are.
as beautiful and sweet as they are.
So, overall, I enjoyed the movie.
lots and lots of credit to the ost.
It's really genuinely sweet. :)
and a good inspiration for me to work harder on my piano~~~!
I've always adored time-travelling movies.
Because I'll always try and reason out and find faults in all the inconsistencies and contradictions related to time.
ahahaha.
though deep down, I know time-travelling is impossible.
Even if it is, it would've altered the future in many ways beyond your imagination.
even so, I think it's cool to secretly wish that we could turn back time, or fantasize about what it would be like if we could travel back in time, or to the future.
which explains the HUGE number of films on time-travelling. :)
Anyway, after watching this show, I'm all the more attracted to the idea of SIMPLICITY.
SIMPLICITY is, in fact, TOO UNDERRATED.
Anyway, just a random thought.
If there were to be a Japanese version of the movie,
I know I'll definitely put gakky as the female lead and... maybe tesshi as the male lead? (if she's nt taller than him XD)
another super random but freaky thing:
A few days back, I dreamt that I was playing the cello and dragging the cello around.
When I woke up, my right arm was aching and felt REALLY SORE.

Cello is such a beauty. After piano, that is. :)
"Hi Miss Alice
With your glass eyes
What kind of dream
Can you see?
Are you fascinated with?"
- 'Still Doll' by Kanon Wakeshima
Randomness.
1. It's pitch black outside. And it's pouring and pouring and pouring. Love it.
2. I'm finally going to watch 'Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni', the scary anime recommended by 2 hardcore manga/anime fans (ws and py). Waiting for it to load. And there's already blood in the very first scene. Perfect.
3. Kanon Wakeshima's songs are eerily beautifully eerie and beautiful.
4. Congrats to KL-san for his new car! :)
5. Still lingering and lingering.
6. Dad's gonna give all of us a big treat this coming sunday. :D
7. Last 2 weeks of school! And I don't know how am I supposed to feel or think.
8. PIANO~! My first exam piece reminds me of an unoccupied Victorian style house with a cello lying there. and maybe blood red interior. okok.
9. Have been having weird recurrent dreams. And I can't seem to remember them very clearly, but they're somewhere along the line of furry dogs, cats and giant hamsters in a big cage. and dying one by one. =/
10. I don't like waking up at 8am and finding myself very awake.
mentally awake yet physically tired.
very very restless.
Not good.
11. Finally met up with the girls~!
I guess I really miss you girls.
HTHT! :)
11. Trying very very hard to digest 'A Quiet Life' by Kenzaburo Oe completely.
It's a very, very challenging novel and you can't just take the words at face value. You gotta look much deeper. If not, it's no difference from reading a piece of paper with random words on it.
It's a nobel prize winner. Yes. No wonder.
12. 'The Blue Chair' XD
and my last chance to get inspiration tomorrow.
Imagine.
That everything and everyone in front of your eyes have wings.
Dreams, opportunities, money, your parents...
the intangible, the tangible.
you have to grasp them firmly
before they fly away.
because, they always do.
(Mendelssohn's 'On the Wings of Song' is really moving...)

Absolutely darling. :)
She's a cellist before she became a singer (and she's produced by MANA from Malice Mizer and Moi dix Mois! yes. even till now, whenever I mention his name, I get the chills.)
I like her music. I like cello and I've always liked gothic lolita.
Kanon Wakeshima. :)

Lingering, lingering, lingering, lingering, lingering, lingering, lingering, lingering, lingering, lingering, lingering, lingering, lingering, lingering, lingering, lingering, lingering, lingering, lingering, lingering, lingering, lingering, lingering, lingering, lingering, lingering, lingering, lingering, lingering, lingering, lingering, lingering, lingering, lingering, lingering, lingering, lingering, lingering, lingering, lingering, lingering....
Indeed.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ENOUGH OF PROJECTS AND REPORTS!!!!!!!!!
I'm dying from frustration plus anxiety plus all the negative emotions one could possibly experience simultaneously.
@#$*!@&#(*~!@&#*!!!!!!!!!!!
did my SEA project till an inhuman time last night (or izzit this morning) at tako's house.
towards the end, my mind already ceased to work.
and today, the fight will continue.
HAIZZZZZZZZZZ.

Have you guys seen this before?
source: Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists http://www.thebulletin.org/
It's the Doomsday Clock.
And yes, it says we're just mere 5 minutes to midnight.
Midnight = complete destruction of mankind = doomsday.
It rates how close we are from doomsday through nuclear, environmental and technological threats that we face.
It adjusts accordingly.
Add on a few minutes if there are certain measures taken to curb environmental crisis.
Minus a few more when countries start testing nuclear weapons.
and the list goes on.
so here we are, pretty close to doomsday.
and what's with all the 20.12.2012 predictions and the upcoming movie 2012.
I happened to walk past the poster of '2012' on my way to school.
What caught my attention was really the tagline--- 'We Were Warned'.
I'm not sure what they meant by 'warned' (could be just the predictions by many people) but I interpreted it as all the catastrophes and constant warnings by experts that Earth is in a very, very sick state.
Hmm... indeed, we were warned.
So, why are most of us still sitting here and (couldn't find a better way of putting it) waiting to die?
I'm in no position to answer that question since I'm guilty of being passive in environmental conservation etc etc as well.
So really, if we're not already doing so, we should start paying more attention to the people, the things around us.
Who knows if it'll be the last time we're seeing them, right?
(sorry for the pessimistic view of the world. but I'm being realistic...am I?)
Something random:
happened to dig it out from my old folders from my external hard drive. and this monochromatic picture seems to complement the Doomsday Clock.
ok. just a ridiculously random connection. XD
SUPER OLD PHOTO.
And may the Cicakman save us!
