X-Japan Live in Yokohama

This is totally corny
Its so yoyo-centric

And I am reminded how much I love this guy!

Rest in Peace - Daisuke

There was time when I used to tell myself - one day, i will be as old as them. How does it feel to just fall like that?



Now, I ask myself - why do some get taken away at such a young age.



Sometimes I just wonder if I have lived too long to see them go one by one.

Daisuke - as I would like to remember him, in his kagerou days.

Shigurui - Death fantasy

Was at an external meeting yesterday with 2 of my colleagues

On our way back, our car almost hit the kerb.....and at that moment i wished it did, on my side.
Strange, must have been watching too much of shigurui lately.

That violence and death fantasy thing is getting into my head

Gnoticism

Had a long long discussion last nite with P on Gnoticism.

In the end, din really sleep but spent the whole of last nite thinking of the gnostic myths and beliefs. And strangely enough, I thought about some of the issues which had been bugging me for a long time.......some could be answered probably by gnoticism, some remained unanswered.

I also began to think about why some lyrics, some books strike such a backlash of emotions in me and also my obsession about imperfection. Was reminded of sunao yoshida's trinity blood, about Test Tube Babies being created by a higher being. These creatures, and their imperfect destiny looping in infinity, suffering endlessly, feeding on the blood of others. Never really quite understood what that was all about....never really quite understood my fascination with trinity blood.

One of those evenings............

Ranting

Couple of things happened this weekend:

1) celebrated my bday with pet at kuriya penthouse. Din expect to see Paul (used to be stationed at Raffles City Kuriya outlet) there. Table on my right sat dhanabalan and george yeo, not that it had anything to do with me. Table on my left.......surprise, Wilin and fren. I called him on the hp and boy was he shocked to see me just sitting at the next table. Crowded nite it was when what we needed was just a quiet evening actually. Food was good. Service was way above excellent. Paul recalled it was near my bday and wanted to get his bartender to perform magic tricks at my table, I was like......no thanks!

But seriously, for my sushi fix, I still think Tatsuya is my cup of tea.

Oh oh.......X-clamp re-released a DVD version and well, tat was one of the DVDs I ordered for myself. plus another 2 CDs-Lang Lang's recording of Rach 3 and Julian Lloyd Weber's recording of Elgar Concerto.

2) Bought a couple of CDs from HMV. I din really fancy the new store layout, its small and stocks really a limited collection of CDs only. Found the Horrowitz recording I was hunting for finally (yay!!!!!).

3) Din manage to get my Lang Lang piano recital tix ( was sorely disappointed) but managed to get my Chthonic live tix.

4) Did some packing of my old magazines and came across the folder with all my Raphael interviews. Was it just like yesterday when Iwas watching hotwave. Losing him.....remains unbearable after so long.

5) Worked quite a bit for the rest of the weekend........ too many things to juggle and I am glad my folks are beginning to be pretty supportive. Still the pressure mounts on. Did some reading last evening..........Goth by Otsu Ichi. It remains one of my fave books to read and re-read when I am feeling twisted.

6) There will be an anime version of Togainu no Chi ....dunno to laugh or cry!

tomorrow marks another week at work........wish me luck!

(currently slashing this anime - Hakuoki 薄桜鬼 〜新選組奇譚〜)
