Good news: My SEB130 came in the mail today.

Bad news: The asian edition only comes in two CDs ._.

Frustrating news: It was stated in HMV that it only comes in two CD, and I thought it meant that the shipping cost was calculated as two CDs. Apparently I was wrong.

Worst news: Actually with the money I spent to buy this CD, I can grab it off from ClubJapan at almost the same price!

GAH! pounds self like no end

Anyway, I’m thinking of buying the Japanese version next month, considering that YesAsia sold out their stock of their Parapara Paradise arcade soundtrack. >_< But then again… I really setting myself in some sort of a dilemma, since I’m thinking of getting some web space, and there’s a lot of …

Since I’m unable to find a site to cut and paste the kanji version, I’ll type them out tonight later.

Coming back, I think this song reflects my current situation :).

About You / Ayumi Hamasaki

誰もがきっと心の どこかに隠された
闇を持っているもの
それが時々邪魔して 思う様に生きれない
 自分を創るの

人の痛みは計り知れないからね
 分け合う事もなかなか難しいね

だけどねもしもちゃんと
向き合いたいと思える
 人に出会えたなら怯えたくない

激しい音立てて 閉ざした心の扉
開く鍵なんでもうずっと遠い日に
見失ったのなら
ありきたりな言葉とか
ありふれた表現でいい
何にも包まれていないそのままを
あなたから聞かせて
 私へ響かせて

決して目には映らない 形のないものを
信じてみる事は
とても恐くもあるけど それが出来るのなら
 素晴らしい事ね

正気保っていられなくなりそうな
 そんな灰色の街の真ん中でも

そんなもんなんだって
何か諦めたように
 力なく笑ったりしないで

何も犠牲にせず 欲しいものだけをすべて
手に入れることが出来た人だなんて
どこにいるって言うの
ねぇどんなに望んでも
二度とは手に入らない
私が失った憧れのものを
 あなたは持っている

激しい音立てて 閉ざした心の扉
開く鍵なんでもうずっと遠い日に
見失ったのなら
ありきたりな言葉とか
ありふれた表現でいい
何にも包まれていないそのままを
 あなたから聞かせて

何ひとつ犠牲にせず 欲しいものだけをすべて
手に入れることが出来た人だなんて
どこにいるって言うの
ねぇどんなに望んでも
二度とは手に入らない
私が失った憧れのものを
あなたは持っている
 それがとても眩しい

(English translation from Divine Ayu)

Everyone surely has darkness
Hidden somewhere in their heart
Sometimes it prevents them
From living as they wish

We can’t imagine other people’s pain
It’s hard for us to share it

But if I meet …

Yes! It’s been a while I have choreographed any paras :D. And finally it seems that a sudden gush of creativity has come to me 😄 — Not to mention the blinding speed that I’m able to complete it :D.

It’s like… a day or two before I finished choreo’ing Sophie’s Are You Ready To Fly in an hour or two. And today I just finished with Van T.K. and Kiki & Fancy’s Make Your Move in a day! And I’m really proud of them as I have pretty much break the traditional pattern and incorporated something new in it :D.

And I can say that it is better than my last set (I Wanna Be Fat, Hello and Wings To The Sky) :D.

I’ll do my filming this …

OK, just wanted to jot down what happened in real life instead of billions and trillions of thoughts and pondering in my head XD.

These few days has been very, very busy to me. It does seem that after close to six month of honeymoon-ing with my new job, my job responsibilities has expanded to a point that I’m like, being very diverse in terms of my job scope and responsibilities. Just to illustrate (umm… or more like “describe” though XD) my point, not only I’m doing computer programming, I’m also doing technical editing, writing specifications, testing, and probably running around in the office and taking naps in the office (Oops! I wonder whether anyone in the office reads this XDDD). Compared to Eng Lee and Kok Hwa who came in almost …

Valentina’s Your Love and Sophie’s Stop The Music CD came into the mail :D, which makes me about 2 titles short from collecting the full album of my favourite artists: Mega NRG Man’s Fire and King & Queen’s Season.

Still waiting for my SEB130 to come from HMV, Hong Kong :D.

As a possibly related note, it’s shawaazu’s birthday! Happy birthday! 😄

Let’s see… spending a few days up here in Genting Highland, getting the darn machines to be set up (and that took us two days O_O), testing these machines and seeing all sorts of bugs flying around (programming/system implementation bugs, that is), and I’m still waiting for that darn jackpot to hit so that I can see what’s going to happen (and that’s NOT an optional test case).

Not to mention that I’m feeling kinda lonely over here: after facing all those challenges that seems like a mountain T-T.

But generally it has been a great experience, does give me more exposure to the real world outside together with all its possible adventures and challenges. And the people that I have been working with are really helpful and friendly …

I feel so under-prepared for tommorrow’s task. As much as I have finished writing the testing procedures that I have to go through tommorrow, I still feel that it’s not complete enough.

And somehow I’m feeling kinda scared actually: going to work somewhere outside the office and staying there for several days (although I’m a bit relieved that another colleague will be accompanying me) and thinking of the seriousness of the task itself (I really hate the thought of myself screwing up this task).

The boss did reassured me that it’s not really a life-and-dead issue (the only thing he told me is that to make really sure of is that the slot machine does not cause financial problems to the company), and I was given continuous encouragement by Seng …

Got some extra photos from Sook Lan’s camera:

Currently feeling all stressed out. Suddenly it’s like tons of work that needs to be done that I feel like being pulled from 10 directions.

Probably today is just one of those rare occurrence that I was the only one wearing an undershirt instead of a long-sleeve shirt in the office.

It just happens that I went for a blood donation drive today with two of my office friends, Sze Hau and Yuen Hui. Everything was going so smoothly, and just as I was taking my seat in the refreshment area, blood gushes out from the puncture in my arm: obviously it’s not really a good sight seeing blood flowing down my arm. I was tended immediately by the medical staff there and luckily the blood flow stopped soon after that. One of the doctors on duty commented that it’s probably because of me having large veins.

Of course, my shirt got stained by blood in the process …
