Dear Ronin Fans,

The band has decided to part ways with
Levan, who officially will no longer
be singing for Ronin as of Tuesday,
June 19, 2007. This will come as a
surprise to most, but not all of you.
As our fans, we feel that you require
an explanation amidst all the half-
cocked rumors and allegations that
seem to be going around on forums and
the like. Many of you are musicians
yourselves, and understand that the
effort of being in a band requires the
cooperation of all of its members, a
level of mutual understanding, respect
and trust must exist in order for it
to function for an extended period of
time. On a side note, daily
interactions with people require
likewise if one wishes not to become a
miscreant. This is the groundwork
which lets a band grow over time, and
the music it produces reflects these
changes. In our case, we have arrived
at a point where the musical and
personal common ground no longer
existed between us and Levan as he
felt he wishes to make music not all
of us agreed upon. More importantly he
wanted to make music that was
individually his alone. This is a wish
we respect as we understood sometimes
the path you have to take is divergent
from that of others. At the same time
we had to reconcile ourselves to the
fact that the band itself was too
personally important an endeavor for
any of us to pursue while making a
solo album simultaneously. After a
many discussions and much deliberation
we decided it would best to let Levan
be free to do his own thing.

The final show with our old line up
will be on the 23rd of June, 1500-
1800H at Orchard Cineleisure.

As for the four of us, we fully intend
to continue making music. Currently no
new candidates for lead singers have
been considered but we have not ruled
out any possibilities just yet. It is
a period of big change for us, and we
ask for your patience as well as
continued love and support which has
brought us so much in the past. Rest
assured however that if there are any
concrete developments, you will be the
first to know and you will hear it
from us before anyone else.



Keep on rockin',

The Ronin Team: Sean, Bang, Simon,
Derryn.

But I still love Ronin..

and you Levan Wee!


Just keep producing music for the local scene alright :(


I've changed my blogskin for now because there's something wrong with the image hosting for my previous skin.


BAH.


I thought I could like do my homework tomorrow but I..



Decided to go to work -_-"





Here's the Uru smex I promised:



What?
You were expecting more?

Dame, dame dayo!
You can't have more because
You'd prolly die from a nosebleed :D




xxx

Made a new friend over Friendster today.

She damn ke ai can? :D


Ne~ Ne~

I just found out that the leg thingy Uru wears alot is actually called a garter set.

Gee.

And I went around town today asking for LEG WARMERS.


The Ginelle is soooooo CLEVER.

-______-"




WHOO WHOO!
Uru is LOVE :)



xxx

Gee.

My blog is starting to look like my once fangirl-over-Arashi blog.


NO GOOD! NO GOOD!


But anyway;
Took these from Mahdi's blog.









The Japanese speak English!


Reminds me alot about this Ohno x Aiba speak english clip I put up before:





SO WHEN I SAY LUCKY YOU SAY MAN! :D




xxx


So now I want to waste money on cosplay.

Costumes are fucking expensive I tell you T_T


Gyarh!
There goes my wonderful KAT-TUN CD collection :'(


No money for CDs now.
No money for food now.


COSPLAY COSPLAY!

Now I need friends to cosplay with ._.

I'M CROSSING OVER TO THE DARK SIDE! .0

But I'll still love Tomoya Nagase :D


Smex for you:



Uru's hair reminds me of
Asakura Yoh from Shaman King here .0

English translation:


This year, another season has passed.
Memories have become faded.
The border between my vague dream and
reality has become blurred.

Even so, the dream I once told you of
had not a single lie in it.
La La-i

Today was fun,
and tomorrow will surely be fun as well.
"These days will continue forever,"
or so I thought at the time.

Throughout the endless days I felt
as if something was missing.
I blamed it on these unnatural times,
and just gave up.
La La-i

Today was very sad,
and even if I cry tomorrow,
someday the time will come that I can laugh
and remember the time we had together.

How much time must pass by,
in this finite existence of ours?
We'll live in the now,
and what will we find?

Nice lyrics really.


And lastly,
If you have any ke ai Kai, sexy Uru and Aoi pictures;

DONATE them to:
The Blind Baboon Society


"Is my hair beauty in this position?" ;D

Aoi

Reita

Uruha

OHMYGACKT AOI T_T

Reita looks pretty good with or without his nose :D

Ruki looks like your typical japanese boy.

I feel that Kai looks the weirdest with makeup on because he always end up looking like a REAL woman. Unlike Uruha, where you can actually tell that HE's a man ._.

Kai is cute!

CUTE!

KAI IS EEEEFFING CUTE!

My sexy Uruha is actually (not a pretty) man! T__T



xxx

Makeup does wonders!

And Kai is cute however he is :D

SO CUTE!

Kai has nice manly arms!

SO CUTE!!!!

The only time I'd ever use this word: KAWAII!!!! *screams*

Here's what I meant when I said that makeup made Kai look like a REAL woman!



xxx


And here's a picture of Reita I really like:

It's simple but he still looks really cool ;D

I'm watching My Boss, My Hero again!



Sakaki "Tornado" Makio (Nagase Tomoya) is a tough 27-year-old high school drop-out. By academic standards, he's pretty dumb. His father decides to force Makio to return to high school to receive his diploma and he asks an old friend who happens to be the principal (Iwaki Koichi) of a nearby school to admit Makio. If Makio doesn't graduate, the position of boss will be given to his younger brother Mikio (Kikawada Masaya).Furthermore, he must pose as a 17-year-old during school hours and in the presence of any classmates or teachers outside of school. If his cover is blown, it would be the end of his high school career as well as his hopes to become boss. Things start out rough and tough as Makio's violent temper is tested. As the lessons and days go by he learns there is much more to school than just tests and studying.

More here.
They have nice OSTs too.



All this for pudding?
GEE.




The "Fight for Pudding" race is re-enacted in a japanese variety show.
Though it's not the handsome Nagase Tomoya starring as Sakaki Makio,
This clip is 100 times more funny!

Why?

Just watch and see :D




xxx

Oh these are really funny too:




No, they're not your normal Shuji to Akira unit :P
(and oh look it's Hard Gay dancing about in the background at the end of the clip!)




Yamashita Tomohisa!

NOT!



What you have just seen are monomanes.
It's like mimicry but with spoof :D

Monomanes are funny!
(or scary if you wanna put it that way)


The Ginelle DOESN'T care anymore :)

So anyway..

Recently,
I've been into The Gazette.

Jrock yes,
But they're funny too :D

So let's watch some funny The Gazette videos!




xxx





Kai is too cute! o(>_<)o
He sings Happy Birthday to Aoi and then..
Blows out all his candles for him!

Aww~!




Kai and Reita are fighting in slow motion~!
Kai attacks Reita and..

Reita does The Matrix ;D




Watch Kai's expression when he got 'beaten up' by the other members of The Gazette!

Uber cute! o(>_<)o

And Aoi was dancing in a yellow kimono behind Ruki!




Oh my god!
Uruha's voice can go really low!

Ruki's good at voice mimicry :D

And he ever-so-cool Reita gets goofy!
He's wobbling about doing random actions (including The Matrix!)
And later on he starts playfully fighting with Kai ^^

This coming from a Jrocker?

You never would have thought ;D




xxx



And you thought Visual Kei was scary?

English translation:

I calmly feel
That I will never forget
What I don't want to forget
Even if I don't try to remember

It was a cold day
I kept on waiting
Just for you
In the hard rain

I was afraid of nothing
I couldn't even think
That even if it was the last day of my life
I didn't care

People who were
Happily smiling together
Passed close to me
So many times

But I was smiling
More gently than anyone else
Standing alone
Without an umbrella

When I shaded my eyes with my freezing hand
And saw you appear
It wasn't because of sadness
That I was about to cry

A flash of light
Shone on us
As if to celebrate
The way we were going on

xxx

I actually liked Ayumi Hamasaki when I young but she became a cheenah -__-"

But her songs are still nice I guess.

Was watching Onimusha 4 today and this was the ending song when Soki died.

EMO LAH EMO!

Thank you Nandy, Zim and Mona for being there for me even though things eventually went wrong (as expected in the end) :)

Love ya.


I have to make a decision.
An ugly decision if you ask me.

To tell or not to tell?

But it's too late for any decisions.



Now you go.


A few more hours to go before it starts and ends.


I love you Mona :)


It didn't matter to me
How it was going to be
As long as you would be my friend

But now it's not the same
We don't talk like we used to anymore
I've lost my new found friend
And I can no longer look at you in the eye


I think I miss you
But you're lost behind your own eyes
Maybe I'm just thinking too much

It's not okay for me
To watch you become someone else's
To watch you become everyone else's

It's not okay for me
Because it isn't fair
Dammit you're not being fair


You're making me go crazy
Please don't ever ignore me
Right now you're messing up my mind

Fuck you it's not the same
We don't talk like we used to anymore
I've lost my new found friend
And I can no longer look at you in the eye

I think I miss you
But you're lost behind your own eyes
Maybe I'm just thinking too much

It's not okay for me
To watch you become someone else's
To watch you become everyone else's

It's not okay for me
Because it isn't fair
Dammit you're not being fair


I can't keep my own secrets
I so badly want you to know
I fucking want you to know
How I feel about you

I don't think that you'll care
And then I'll lose the friend
I already had lost

But I guess it's okay
I enjoy feeling sorry for myself anyway


Right now it's not the same
We don't talk like we used to anymore
I've lost my new found friend
And I can no longer look at you in the eye

I think I miss you
But you're lost behind your own eyes
Maybe I'm just thinking too much

It's not okay for me
To watch you become someone else's
To watch you become everyone else's

It's not okay for me
Because it isn't fair
Dammit you're not being fair


It's not okay for me
To watch you become someone else's
To watch you become everyone else's

It's not okay for me
Because it isn't fair
Dammit you're not being fair


God dammit
You're not being fair


I have a sudden urge to cosplay :D



But my idea of cosplaying is:
To dress up really loud and japanese goth rock like so that..


People stare..
Make it worth their while!

- Bryanboy



Because I have no money to buy real cosplaying clothes;
And that it's not easy to hunt for cosplaying clothes in Singapore,

I've decided to come up with my own "PEOPLE STARE... MAKE IT WORTH THEIR WHILE!" costume!


Gee,
The Ginelle is smart ain't she? ;D



I've decided to put together something that comes from costumes of both Aoi and Uruha (my two sexy boyfriends!) from The GazettE;

However,
I'm having problems with where to buy parts of my costume :(


Here's what I'd prolly need:

1. Black arm warmers
2. White above knee length boot-legged leg warmers
3. A garter belt (I NOT HORNY OKAY T___T)
4. White and blank tank top similar to Aoi's in their Cassis PV
5. Black cloth/ scarf to wrap around lower half of body
6. Black, red and white ribbons
7. Black shawl/ scarf
8. Alot of 'bling bling'
9. Mini skirt/ shorts



Anyway, here's my inspiration:



Aoi's the one on the extreme right.



Uruha!

The garter belt isn't for prostitution purposes,
It's suppose to go there like in the 2nd picture.



Uruha looks really hot in the first picture ;D

But I'd reckon the pieces of his costume are even harder to find than just plain tank tops and all.


Oh well..
I can only pray that I don't waste my money on parts of the costume that won't turn out well .(


Alrighty, I hadn't been blogging because:

1. I lazy
2. There's too much to blog about
3. My blog posts look ugly under Blogger

But I'll blog anyway.





xxx

I've been having mood swings so far this week.
But I shall not lament about that.

Even heroes have the right to bleed
(and I'm like the God of the Onigiri can?)





xxx

So are you ready for more..
Random and The Nanyang Ah Bengs? ;D

I've blogged quite alot about them and this is fast becoming a sequel!

Anyway,
I had dinner with the Nanyang Ah Bengs on Tuesday.

Not very exciting I know;
But it's dinner with the Nanyang Ah Bengs leh!
You know how exciting is that?!

LOL.

I've been randomly rotting inside Nanyang Optical for more than many times so far.

Gee.

But I was there on Tuesday because there wasn't any space for me to SLEEP at the Fountain of Eddie while Hila watched Pirates of The Carribean with her choir people.

Fucking loooooooooooooong movie I tell you.


But anyway,
SOMEONE couldn't rot for very long in the land of The Nanyang Ah Bengs.


I was bored lah,
So I continued to rust/ stone/ sleep/ die/ vomit/ ugh there.


Then Jurine said that if I could wait till they knock of at 9.30pm,
The Nanyang Ah Bengs would eat dinner with me
(because they know that I hate doing things on my own ALONE)


So I was left to entertain myself till the Nanyang Ah Bengs finished work.


I made a new best friend then;
And his name is Mr Calculator!



I love my new best friend ;D

But sadly,
he doesn't get much love over at Nanyang Optical.

HAH.


So I waited and waited.
3 hours didn't turn out to be that long afterall;
Compared to Ms Tan's Physics lessons that is.




How many of you actually get to hang out inside a store during closing hours? :P



The Nanyang Ah Bengs had to guard their motherland for the night because the floors needed fixing or something.

At around 10pm or so,
The Nanyang Ah Bengs and I were..

Eating at the Fountain of Eddie.


No idea why,
But my brain was starting to die then.
Couldn't even make out half of what Bae Yong Jun or any of the other Nanyang Ah Bengs were really saying.

Watched 200 Pounds of Beauty whilst chowing down on lovely Fillet O Fish.
Or rather, the Fish Burger according to the Bae Yong Jun -_-"

SHEESH.


So it was just dinner;
But I tend to get amazed at such things.

Never really hung out with people their age before;
So it was kinda cool I guess.


But they made me felt like a KID :(

Kay would make a lovely dad..

JUST A MOMENT!
YOU ARE WAIT!
VERY DANGER!

(inserts more Aiba-glish)

I think Kay being a dad would be the same as Aiba Masaki being a dad T___T

OH NO!

HAHAHAHAHA.


But anyways,
they thought I was going to rot there till their floor was done.

Wished I could though.
It would have been more intriguing or so ;D

But I couldn't lah T__T


Bae Yong Jun then offered to send me home or something ;D

BAE YONG JUN YOU KNOW?!
KNOW ANOT?!

So honoured seh!



(random pic taken not on the day itself)


I was actually taking a picture of the drinks lah.
Kay was drinking F&N Orange then,
And I just happened to have a bottle of Mirinda Orange.

There you go,
Our drinks made best friends before getting whisked off into the dustbin where death do them part ;D





But Bae Yong Jun fake one lah.
(private joke)

LOL.


Kay joked about how my dad would call the police to arrest him or something because some uncle (which is him) brought his daughter home in the middle of the night -_-"

God gave us powerful minds.



xxx





And my souvenir at the end of the day was an OFFICIAL Nanyang Optical Private Limited seal :)





AOI is LOVE :)

So I'm not abnorm afterall.
Thank god.

I thought I was going crazy .0

So people do tend to get a little emo for no reason at all.
It wasn't just me.

Seems like everyone around me is feeling emo these few days.

I have friends who don't friend each other for silly reasons;
I have friends who feel lonely and left out the way I do;
I have friends who feel emo for no reason;

And sadly,
I also have people whose days are numbered.

x
I thought I was crazy when I started scolding Kay a fucker.
I was going insane because I had noone to talk to.

I couldn't help but whine about how ugly the world is.

Put me anywhere alone,
And I start to imagine.

I have an ugly personality I don't quite like.

x
Anyway,

Chun makes me feel the way Mr Cheong does;
Although he didn't say anything bad,
He made me feel guilty for no reason.

The perfect way he talks is just one of the million things I like about Bae Yong Jun :)

Or rather.. Soh Kay Chun.

And I'm not being sacarstic.
(It's a line from 3 Doors Down's 'So I Need you')

Thankey thanks Kay;
I'm not so emo now :)

But now I get an ugly feeling each time I see you face to face.

You just make me feel guilty for now reason now.
Perhaps I won't be that funny anymore .'(

Some interesting things have happened this week,
But I've been feeling too fucked-up to blog properly.

Perhaps at a later time.
