Jaezreen’s Youtube Account: DELETED!

Back in mid 2007,
I was really into Arashi- a random Japanese group.

Japanese is a language that most international fans could not understand.
So the fandom community would contribute translations and subtitles for the fun of it.

And I had my own subbing activities back then.
I’d pick translations from the other fans, sub it, and post it up on YouTube.

Now that I’m almost out of the Arashi fandom,
(I only feel tied to it by 2%)
I don’t see the need of keeping my YouTube account anymore.

So I deleted it.

I Don’t Even Know HIS Last Name!

I tuned in for American Idol Finale 2008,
mainly to watch the Davids.

By the end of the show though,
only one song that was really playing on the loop in my head.

Carrie Underwood’s ‘Last Name‘.

It tells a story about how a girl who got too drunk in Vegas,
hanged out with an unknown guy.
The next morning, she found a ring on her finger.

Yep, she married the guy
whom she doesn’t even know his last name.

So she left Vegas trying to erase the incident from memory.

Then it hit her,
she doesn’t even know HER last name!

Yeah, you can throw out the whole
“This song promotes indecent behavior etc etc.”

But I find this to be a very fun song.
A song telling a story of such irresponsible moments and
has its own comedic effect.

I’ll probably start listening to Carrie more often now.

Coming Out Of The Closet- The Play

 

“You. MUST. Come. And watch this play.

I’m in it, that’s good enough of a reason.

Your only excuse is either you’re dying

or you absolutely hate laughing!”

 

Yes, I was indeed threatened by a friend to watch this play.
I was hesitant at first,
but after knowing that ANOTHER friend will be in it too,
I booked myself a ticket for the Sunday, 18th May 2008, 3:30pm show.
(Later on, my sister bought her own ticket)

COMING OUT OF THE CLOSET - The Play
was held at Alliance Francaise, KL.

Before entering the hall, there were two girls behind me talking:

“What is this play about?”

“Oh, it’s just about 2 gays together in a closet.”

 

That. Sounds. So. Wrong.
If it is so,
then I’m much too naive for this!

Wahaha Wahaha!

Okay, yes, the title is very random.

But I just want to share a random music video here.

It has happened more than twice already
that when I’m feeling pretty bland,
this is the video clip that’ll at least just make me smile.

I’m not a fan of this group- Kanjani 8.
They’re much too wacky for me to handle.

The only reason I paid attention to this group at first was because of Ryo [the guy with green jacket].
No, please do not be fooled by his dorky self in this video.

When he’s in NEWS (his other band),
he’s a badass jerk.

He’s mean enough that the only words of comfort he offered to his friend when they were heartbroken was

“Oi, FAT Jin! Lose some weight already!”

Poor Fat Jin cried harder and ran away from the jerk.

Oddly, I’m attracted more to him because of that.

So here’s the video by Kanjani 8 - Wahaha (Yes, that IS the title of the song)
[English Subbed]

Yes, the video is cracky.
The humor of it have worn out after the third time I watched the video.

What uplifts me are the lyrics.

Here are some of my favorite lines in the song:

Sadness and worries
It seems that everyone has at least some of them.

It’s not just you, you know.

If I laugh, You will laugh.
So if You laugh, Someone else will laugh too!

This song just made me realize how very few songs there are in this world that states:

“Laughter Is Contagious!”

And it just cheers me up to see them laughing their neck off to this song.
Which just proves how contagious laughter is.

 

Keta Keta Keta Keta.

WAHAHA WAHAHA!

 

Teksi Tunai - Nada & Emira

“Jaz! Flip your channel to ASTRO PRIMA now, weih!
You wouldn’t believe this.
They’re freakin hilarious!”

I hung up the phone and immediately switched on the television.

The show:

TEKSI TUNAI (Cash Cab)

It’s a show where Bob Lokman (host) drives a cab as a normal guy.
But whoever gets in the cab, passengers, will get the chance of gaining some cash by answering some random questions.

It’s not a show that I’d normally watch,
but this time, it features my ex-schoolmates-
Nada Assilah and Emira.

And if you know Nada and Emira,
then you’ll know that putting these two together can bring some sheer hilarity into any situation.

I couldn’t remember details by details, but here’s as much that I can recall.

Some questions:

• Please complete the saying, “Don’t bite the hand that _____.”

NAD & EM:
Eh? I got no clue about this.

[Both of them took their phone and called for their father (Emira) and mother (Nada)]

BOB:
Wow, both of them are calling someone?
One is calling their father and another is calling the mother.
These are very smart kids!
Hah, pandai budak-budak ni!

NADA:
(waiting for her mother to pick up)
…. Ala, mama! Pick up the phone Pickupthephone.
Asal la masa ni jugak mama tak angkat?!?!
Why now of all times that she’s not picking it up?!?!

… Hello, ma!
…… Voice box?
M-Mama reject call saya!
M-Mom rejected my call!

• Who is David Bowie’s wife?

[Emira called her dad again]

NADA:
Ah! I see some Americans over there!
Let’s stop by and ask if they know the answer!

Excuse me mister! Do you know who’s David Bowie’s wife???

AMERICAN:
(apparently shocked seeing a girl sticking her head out of a cab’s window shouting about David Bowie)
N-No!
(shaking his head furiously)

-+-+-+-

What I’ll always find amusing though,
is their excitement when cash are flashed out in front of them.

Reaction 1:

“(Squeals) AHHHH!!! Asjaojdjiaosrqw?!?!”

Reaction 2:

Took the money and flashed it grinningly to the camera.

Reaction 3:

By the time they are RM300 richer,
they used the RM50 notes as tissues and wiped off their sweats from their face and neck.

Reaction 4:

When Bob told them that the next question is worth RM100,
they squealed like mad and started reassuring each other.

“Babe! 100 ringgit ni, b-babe!”
“I know, babe. Feuh, intense.”

BOB:
Wow, you seem very happy to be receiving some extra cash.

NAD & EM:
Of course we are!
We’re really dried out of cash!
We’re on our way to the bank actually.

-+-+-+-

By the end of the ride,
they succeeded in getting RM440.

Quite a big sum.
You can literally see their eyeballs turning into $_$

And the typical Nada would never exit a cab without making a closing line:

“OH, TERIMA KASIH GURU!”
“Oh! Thank you dear teacher!”
