Natural Selection
After a few days of constant exposure to EXILE's songs, I've come to one conclusion - Shun is a lot more suitable for the group than Atsushi. Both are great singers, with fantastic voices and wide ranges, yet there is just something missing from Atsushi's voice that makes him less...R&B-ish. He sounds just perfect when it comes to the ballads, but for the dance tracks, he simply lacks something that Shun excels at - a display of charming ruggedness (again, we're talking about the voices here; look-wise, it's quite the opposite). Somehow, Shun is able to use his voice to make R&B sound the way it's supposed to sound. I don't know how to describe it exactly, but I guess his sometimes-feminine voice is part of it.
In general though, both men sound very much alike. I'm having a hard time distinguishing between the two...usually I can't tell unless Shun uses his "throaty" voice here or there...=P

And The Winner Is...
I've always been a big believer of omens. Over and over again, I've been shown which way I should go...yet I resisted, time after time, because I wasn't content with the outcome...
Tonight though...I just couldn't deny it anymore. It was too obvious...too much of a sign telling me who's the one. Am I happy with it?? No. But that doesn't mean I won't change my mind.

My Style
In just one day's time, I've turned from knowing nothing about
EXILE to a crazed fan. It's only analogous to how quickly I fall in love...xP

Try Again
Damnit.
<phone rings...picks up the phone>
"Hello??"
"Hi, is this Mr. [insert last name]??"
"No." (technically, I am, but I knew she was referring to my dad)
"Oh, is this Mrs. [insert the same last name] then??"
"...er, no."
Does my voice sound THAT ambiguous??

An Apple A Day
Sometimes I awe myself by being such a healthy person. Apart from the late-sleeping habit, I hardly do anything that's considered "unhealthy". I don't smoke, I don't do drugs, I only drink occasionally (& I do mean occasionally), and I ain't really picky with food. Today, for example, I went to buy snacks at a store. While the guy lining up right in front of me (whom I think was around 17) was pointing at the cigarettes he wanted (by the way, he spoke in such a soft voice, as if he was ashamed of it...dude, if you're gonna smoke, have some guts), I was waiting to pay for my
chupa chups. I guess both are things that you put in your mouth, but hey, my breath smells like green apple when yours smells like crap...plus, I only paid a loonie for my sticks...bet you can't even pay your tax with it. Ha. xD

Together Again
After seven months of blogging/commenting, you're telling me now that "flytrap" in "venus flytrap" is actually ONE word?? xD

I'm bored out of my mind, & I've just successfully hurt myself with a knife while cutting a pear. What am I gonna do next??
Watch My Big Fat Greek Wedding on my big fat 51" TV. =P

Foresight
I've always realized that my dreams are a lil bit psychic. Once in a while, I'll have a dream that turns out to be true, in one way or another. Last night though, I had the most disturbing dream. I "witnessed" some people buried alive by concrete, while others were burned and eaten as victims of cannibalism. And I remember distinctly, for whatever reason, that they were ALL Koreans. And
this, was the first thing I read upon turning on the computer.

Battle Of The Brains
Wow, I finally see what "Powder Face" has been talking about all these years...this guy is indeed VERY intelligent!! I haven't had such a great, serious, meaningful chat for a long long time...
Ah well, it takes two to tango. So I must be just as smart. Hehe. =P

Just Like A Pill
There's a reason why I love my parents so much.
Whenever I'm feeling (remotely) sad or (slightly) down, they always come home with food that I love, entertainment that I enjoy, or whatever that boosts me back up to my all-time-jolly state. I can't believe there used to be days when I didn't appreciate them at all...how silly was I.

Maybe nine days isn't such a bad idea...it gives me the time to forget you bit by bit: your eyes on the first day, your nose on the second, your voice on the third, etc etc...
You'll be a stick figure by the end of next week. Ha. xD

Crystal Ball
As Ayu puts nicely in her song "WE WISH", "to expect and to wish may appear similar, but are in fact quite different".
I used to wish that we would be together...now, I expect us to.

Laryngitis
I have been so karaoke-deficient lately that right now I'm actually making a (long) list of songs that I'll be dying to sing when I FINALLY get to go during reading week. And you bet I've been doing my practices. Dear neighbours, sorry for the unnecessary toad-sounding chants in the middle of the night. Can't help it.

Dumb & Dumber
And I thought
this is the rock bottom of retarded textbook writing. Apparently I was wrong. Here's what I just read from my organic chem textbook: "When you hold a right hand up to a mirror, the image you see looks like a left hand. Try it."
Oh really??

Okay, I don't care how long it takes, but this week I'm gonna finish my physics problems w/o anybody's help...especially YOUR help.
I can't believe the truth came out so easily. I didn't even work for it...
<sigh> I'm troubled. Stubborn old me is troubled.

Red, Green & Blue
I think university has changed me from a scrooge to a shopaholic; instead of saving every penny that I get, I spend every dime of it. =P Like right now, I wanna use the red pocket money from my parents to buy myself a
Cyber-shot U, even if it's of (absolutely) no use.
Spoiled brat, indeed.
