#39 HAPPY 36TH BIRTHDAY, FUJIWARA MOTOO

今日は藤原基央さんの誕生日です！

Today, APRIL 12th 2015 is the birthday of Fujiwara Motoo of BUMP OF CHICKEN.

This person, who definitely does not know I am personally. Nor do I to him.

But all I know is that, because he was born on this date 36 years ago, I was able to enjoy beautiful songs and music.

Along the way, I learnt more and more about him. I fell for this guy.

I love how he writes his song's lyrics, as if he is telling stories in each song.
I love how he sings, his voice melodically tells the story of the song.
I love how he smiles and laughs shyly. 
I love how he answers the letters in his B-Pass column - funny and witty too. But that is just him being him.
In every performance (that I ever watched), he and everyone gives their all.

藤原さんへ、

お誕生日おめでとう。

I wish for your happiness.. always. 

Keep rocking our world with your songs and music!

#37 Song: RAY (BUMP OF CHICKEN)

Here I present to you, a song that made me fall in love so so much with BUMP OF CHICKEN.

I have known them by name before but I had never really listen to any of their songs. Then, I was introduced to RAY in a penpal site that I joined. I instantly fall for Fuji-kun's voice and the charm of the whole band.

Furthermore, as I looked up for more information on this band, one thing solidly amused me. It made me attached to BUMP more than I ever anticipated.

The members of this band had been together since middle school. They formed the band together and performed for the first time in their school festival. It's their very bond of friendship that got me into them so much, so madly tbh. Hahaha. AND the lyrics! Fujiwara Motoo wrote every song and each song is a story of its own. The more I know, the more I fall for them.

I went to KL in 2013 for a conference with my family. I went to Kinokuniya in KLCC to buy some Japanese magazines featuring ONE OK ROCK. Instead, I got one copy of ROCKIN' ON JAPAN with BUMP OF CHICKEN on the cover. As a BUMPER/fangirl, I would say that it's a fate LOL

Everyone is just so cute! Especially Chama as he jumped here and there LOL

Check out the lyrics here and translation here!

#35 Back to Life

Hey ho!!

It's been awhile since I last rant or babbler in this blog. Well, I've been busy catching up with my Masters work etc.

Unfortunately, I am still not done with it yet. I got the grip of it.. and so I am still trying my best to finish it til the end!

Anyway, I figured I should try to update more here. Yeah, yeah. I really should. Who knows it'll be a good filler for me whenever I got stuck with lab works eh?

Right..


NEW STUFFS IN LIFE

Let me said this out loud: I AM TOTALLY INTO BUMP OF CHICKEN NOW. Haha, nothing great. But I just wanna write that out of the blue. LOL

I got excited whenever I see Fujiwara Motoo. I don't even creeping know why.
I just like him, ok?

Ah, it's been few weeks (a couple of months) of hectic and almost hell for me and my roomie to find people to rent the rooms in our house. With our contract extending for another 6 months, we need people to share the rent with us. And really, this one experience taught me so much as people - their attitudes, characters and well-being. We're scolded, screwed and ughh... just so much unnecessary drama. Thank God that we finally settled down everything related to the rooms by 1st April 2015. New housemates came in, a Japanese Masters student (also in the same university with me) and a Diploma Accountancy student from other state. Finally, someone I can learn speaking casual Japanese with! LOL Surprisingly, she is good with Malay since she fell in love with the local culture here. Not surprising since her boyfriend is a local man. Hoho.

I have so much to write but I have little time as I might be called anytime soon to help my kouhai with her lab work and another housemate asking my favour to fetch her. So, I shall stop here first.

p.s: I am going to upload and share my short stories here. I'll do that later~ hehe
