Okay, this is an edit - but I suppose none of you even read the original version. It doesn't matter. -flicks wrist at general audience-
Anyway, I'm moving again (:
No, you may not object to the proceedings, and yes, you may offer me celebratory chocolate, in all your sarcasm and apparently ironic comments. I know it's the goodness-remembers-how-many-th time I've moved my blog - but I assure you it's absolutely necessary.
(Not.)
For all you blind/ignorant/mistaken people, I'll make it really clear. Please, please relink me.
Here.Got link? (Like, "got milk?".) (Crud crud crud LAME GENES.)
My new blog is already kinda up and running - so yeah. I've got a ton of stuff to talk about (music-wise, school-wise, whatever-wise) (omg and Deathnote! I love NearXMello!) (and Epik High! Epik High!), none of which I'll probably actually get around to doing.
PS. I'm running low on my chocolate supply. -hint hint-

[By the way, the music thingy looks so duh because Imeem is refusing to cooperate and I have to resort to Aimini.net instead.]
I got to go shopping again yesterday (:
But it's starting to get a bit boring, if truth be told. I'd rather eat.
I went to Kinokuniya and bought a new book! Which is really amazing because I haven't bought a proper book in goodness-knows-how-long. It's a book in the Warriors Series by Erin Hunter. I remember the time I went crazy over that series - seems a bit stupid now, books about talking cats - and I refused to own less than the complete series.
Hey, but it was a nice series. I'm rereading them right now.
I went to the Korea Tourism Organization to receive my prize -laughs- and it's really quite nice. The Korea Sparkling shirt is rather nice, and it's made of this weird comfortable material. HAHA. And I also a DVD featuring the most recent Kpop hits (which, though nice, is redundant given the amount of CDs I already own), which is sweet. The Korea Tourism Organization centre is damned nice and has loads of stuff for you to see, heh.
SCHOOL IS STARTING SOON (:
I'm sick of lolling around at home with nothing to do - although it may beat being stressed, but one can never appreciate what they have. So yeah, I can't wait for school to start.
Although I'm not looking forward to either of my CCAs at all. Gehhh.
I bought Kim Jeong Hoon's album - it's rather nice! Although he doesn't sound like himself at all, but eh whatever. Most people don't sound like themselves when they sing - at least, quite a lot of people. Don't count people like Changmin, who squeak 24/7 and seem incapable of vocalizing in any other way. xD
Tuition in an hour ):

Haha I was reading Hwee's blog and when I read that one of her friends was one metre away from TVXQ I nearly threw up blood and died -_-"
EXCUSE MEEEE. I am frickin' jealous, hey.
Anyway! Let me tell you people something amusing!
Last night, I was listening to the station 96.3 FM which plays Korean pop music from 9pm to 11pm (sounds like a commercial), and I decided to request a song. For fun. Because my sister asked me to, and I stupidly did it.
I requested Noona Is Pretty by Shinee, and I still remember my original message: Hello, this is Amanda, and I listen to Cool K Time (that's the name of the station) really often! I'd like to request the song Noona Is Pretty by Shinee, dedicated to all my friends who are listening right now (which equals none, but whatever)!
And guess what. I won a Korea Sparkling T-shirt and some DVD -_-"
The DJ was like, "And today's prize goes tooooo... Amanda whose number ends with five-seven-double-zero! Congratulations!" And I was like, "o_o"
Shittt. And they haven't contacted me yet. My dad laughed when he heard that I'd switched off my phone immediately after sending the dedication and said, "What if they tried to call you?" And I could've murdered him for saying that.
Oh well. Things like that happen. It's called...luck. -_-"
(Or unluck.)

[this was written on the 13th of June]
Back from KL! Haha seems like I've been on a blog hiatus for really long so I shall make this a long one, eh? (:
Feeling a bit terrified because I have the DreaMelody meeting tomorrow and I simply refuse to sing a chinese song (ewww gross). But seeing that I haven't prepared otherwise, I shall just sing that stu song I sang for audition, and maybe people will finally stop pestering me to sing cheena music. Gahhh.
Speaking of music - I recently heard Wonder Girl's new single,
So Hot. Goodness, the lyrics make me want to scream and die, literally. I mean, it's like, "Hello, I'm sexy and pretty, why the hell am I so wonderful that people want to follow me around all the time? I don't understand it, I'm so
hawt" Eh, okay, darling. But that's what you get from rather crappy artistes - I can't believe some people actually prefer them to SNSD.
Even SNSD is tolerable-ish, and I quite like Jessica.
Anyway! I bought tons of stuff from KL, which saves my closet from being banished to Anti-Fashion Loserville forever. The coolest item I probably purchased was the only pair of shoes I bought on the trip. Goodness, are they gorgeous!
Red, blue and white. It's a rather fascinating love story, how I got that pair of shoes, because the first time I saw them, I was like, "Nobody can walk in that, dude" - but look what happened. They're about two and a half inches high (I nearly sprained my ankle in them but I STILL HAD TO HAVE 'EM) and they're the sexiest pair of shoes evah. End of story.
Let the photos do the talking - not much of 'em, but I'm lazy.

My dad saw this gigantic - I'm talking GIGANTIC - billboard in KL and I forced him to take a picture of it! Takuya Kimura still has a number of good years in him left.

My sister and I slacking in Salabianca while my mum goes ga-ga over sequined goods (-_-"). My first reaction to this picture had nothing to do with the background or the (rather bad) lighting or random elements in the picture - but no no, I'M SMILING LIKE YUURI CHINEN. How emotionally disturbing - seriously. Even my sister could tell the resemblance.

My dad stole this shot of me and my grandmother walking in KL. My grandmother is actually smiling, while I (the perpetual retard) am just stoning happily and thinking, "My closet needs a revamp because I never want to be caught dead in this outfit ever again". Baggy shirts + cargo pants are OUT OUT OUTTTT.

AHAHA!!! My gorgeous pair of shoes (: They're so nice - and surprisingly comfortable! TWO INCH HEELS ZOMG I still can't believe I got them, y'know.

Me eating Korean BBQ a while ago. Nowadays I can eat tons and not actually feel bloated and full - in fact I eat even more after that! xD It's a good feeling!
Simhwee tagged me, so I'm doing this fer fun.
1. What's the most important thing in your life?
My passion. I think I've made that pretty clear already, no? I keep clinging to that stubborn belief that it's what keeps me striving (and that's pretty true) and so yeah, that's what keeps me alive, essentially.
2. When was the last time you bought something with your own money?
Uhh. I buy all sorts of stuff with my own money sometimes - and then again that term is rather loosely used. You mean, money in my possession? Or hard-earned cash? Or what?
3. Where do you wish to get married?
I'm not planning to get married, and the thought of getting married anywhere is horrific. Oh, I once chanced upon a quiz that told me I'd get married in a rubbish dump though. -_-"
4. How old do you think you will be permanently with your love?
Never, because I refuse to get bound with such commitment and permanance! I'll just alternate from person to person happily -laughs-
5. Are you in love?
Thank goodness not.
6. Where was the last restaurant you had dinner?
Chang Korean BBQ Restaurant! Yay. It is way awesome and filling and YUMMERSS.
7. Name the latest book you bought.
Y'know what? I can't remember. I must start reading again, really.
8. What is your full name?
This is hazardous to my identity! I refuse to answer this question as it goes against my morals!
9. Do you prefer your mother or your father?
Uh I shan't be honest on this one - but I'm generally 50-50 on both of them.
10. Name a person who you really wish to see in real life.
What's meant by 'real life'? You mean the person isn't real, or what? Are celebrities included? Gahh. Don't throw me questions I'm meant to interpret! If it's a storybook character, then maybe Garfield or something, since he eats so much (:
11. Christina or Britney?
Christina hands down.
13. What's the most exciting place you want to go?
AHA Isn't it supposed to be question 12, not 13?~
Okay yeah. Uhhh. I want to go to the moon.
14. Hugs or kisses?
Kisses, I think this is a reused question -_-" I feel myself constantly answering stuff I've already answered to ages ago!
15. Point out 5 things about the person who tagged you.
Awesome, gullible (we all know this! xD), adorable, wonderful and just a bit floaty (?!).
16. 8 things i'm passionate about.
- Singing. My passion in life!
- Losing weight.
- Being the best person I can be to everyone.
- Food.
- Money. (Jaejin from FT Island said food and money too!)
- Love.
- Anything Japan-related.
- Humanities! (really, really)
17. 8 things i say too often:
- What.
- Re-e-a-ally?~
- Pssh.
- Obviously nawt.
- That's just lame.
- Don't be ridiculous.
- You're just too [random medley of adjectives].
- Hey!
THIS QUESTION MAKES ME FEEL LAME.
18. 8 books i read recently:
- Fabulosity
- Never Suck A Dead Man's Hand
- Good Omens
- Chobits Vol. 1-8 (count this as one book, whatevs)
- Japanese Schoolgirl Inferno
- Outsider II
- Ella Enchanted
- Revenge of the Wannabes
19. 8 songs i can listen to over and over again:
- Leavin'
- Noona is Pretty (Replay)
- Choosey Lover
- We Can Go Anywhere
- Tell Me (no, really. It's addictive)
- Girlfriend
- Tonight
- Rainbow
20. 8 things i learnt last year:
- I procrastinate a lot.
- Why be normal when you can be outstanding?
- I'm not exactly in a healthy normal state of mind.
- Fat is not neccessarily dislikable.
- People, even friends, are ineffable.
- Handling people and handling money are not the same.
- Put your heart into something and it becomes fun.
- I neglect many things, intentional or not.
I shan't tag anyone (:

I can't believe I forgot to do this. Pretend it's the 4th of June.
밐키유천,생일추카함니다!
Happy Birthday Micky!

Okay yeah, you stupid birthday boy! You're finally twenty two, so grow up a little (:
Last night I was listening to 96.3FM, and they were playing some Korean programme, which was really cool because I'd only discovered that radio station yesterday. And then there was this DJ reading out this dedication from someone to Micky Yoochun for his 22nd birthday, and then TVXQ's 'You're My Miracle' starting blasting from the speakers.
Although ehm yeah my reaction was rather stu, but I immediately began jumping up and down and screaming 'OMG OMG YAYYYY' -_-"
See what I've been reduced to. Grrrh.
Anyway, yeah (: Happy belated birthday Mikkay!
