Ayu SCawaii March 2013 - A good read!

So glad the translation is up already~!! I love reading Ayu interviews! Especially the 70 questions sent in by the readers/fans. =)

Just gonna write some interesting stuff I found about Ayu. =)
Ayu has been doing lots of exercises!! Like pressure training, yoga, muscle training. Well, artistes usually will need to do them in order to keep fit. How nice. Argh, not like me. I haven't been doing much exercises lately. haha. I feel like running around a park but I'm afraid my knees are gonna get worse. So what can I do?? (>_<)

Anyway, what is pressure training? It seems like Ayu is so into it. I envy her that she has a coach with her for all her exercises. I won't have anything or anyone with me for my exercises. Just me and myself. lol. I thought of trying it too. Just feel like doing what Ayu is doing. hehe. And I also want a running machine at home like Ayu!! Used to have such equipment in the house but is long gone already. Sobs.

I think is bad for Ayu that she doesn't eat breakfast. Right, since it's the most important meal for the day. But I think she's even healthier than me and me eating breakfast dun make me different in any way. lol. I think I do need a machine now!!

Speaking about food, I would really love to try oden one day!! There was once where I was at the Japanese buffet and wanted to eat it but in the end I didn't!! (T ^ T) That was cos it was a buffet dinner and pratically I had as much food as I can and there's already no more room for oden. Regrets!! I think tat was the only chance for me to eat it but yet I didn't!! I really kinda regret it now, cos Ayu has been obsessed with this dish that means it must be really delicious. It really looks delicious but just why didn't I make myself have a little taste of it! (;´༎ຶД༎ຶ`)

Okay, for me, my obsession would be Japanese curry. I really love it like mad. haha. I'm glad Ayu likes it too. but she also love ramen. I'm more of a udon person. I dun get why most people love ramen over udon. I really can't like ramen at all. It's even funnier that I once went to a ramen restaurant with a friend and ended up that she likes it so much that she goes there often and recommends to her other friends. Duh, I'm helping to promote that ramen restaurant instead. Gosh so what have I done? (◎_◎;)

I noticed that there are somethings where I'm opposite of Ayu. Like she can gave up sleeping but I can't, her special talents of powerful memory but not me, good at cooking but I'm not all etc. I guess each of us are really unique on our own. It's good that I get to know this side of her and myself. For the similar part, I too dun wish to return to the past, have grown to become optimistic and wanna live in America too! Ayu wants to live in L.A, but I haven't decide exactly which part of America I wanna be. I would really love to be there and also go around all the 50 states. That was really sort of a dream kinda hard to realise too. haha.


Well, I really wonder if Ayu is still in America after seeing this tweet, which is the one thing that has been bothering me lately:

I dun really know this Christophe Choo but I supposed he should be one of Ayu's good friends in America perhaps? I dun get wat is he saying at first, cos it sorta made me interpret wrongly. -_- I thought he was saying this could be a guessing game. Dang, he was just wanting me to guess if Ayu is still there lah!!

Never mind. So we won't get to know where exactly Ayu is at. Ar...my curiousity is eating me. I'm just itching to know where's she at. And cos she hasn't been tweeting often!!! Why Ayu has become so secretive lately? lol.


One thing that scared me is that Ayu once used a safety pin to pierce her ears! So dangerous! I can never get why any girl wanna do that. Dun they scared their ears will be inflammed? Anyway, it reminds me of her Sweet scar pv cos I can see clearly all her earring at her right ear. Ayu has so many earholes! but no belly piercing though. haha. I hope not too~!! Aa-chan~! hahhaa.

My purchases over the weeks

Some little skincare/cosmetics bought:

I realised the Garnier BB cream bottle wordings are different from the one on the box and what most people are using. Is the one I got an earlier batch? haha. Alright, it should be the miracle skin perfecter as what it should be known as. Anyway, I kinda like it cos it's not that thick/viscous and easy to apply. I think it smells like cheesecake btw. lol! I just feel it that way. But it supposed to be fragrance free. Maybe my nose is just too sensitive. All things have smell to me. hahaa. Anyway I like the colour tone and it spreads easily. Among all the BB creams that I've bought I'm pretty satisfied with this!

The za concealer was okay.. just that it's not that thick as what I thought. Aren't concealers supposed to be thick enough for coverage? haha. I think liquid ones are better than stick dry ones cos I find that hard to apply. I think BB creams should also be good to act as concealers but somehow I think it also depends on its consistency. Or maybe I really need to take my time and slowly apply? but it's really tiring to cover up so many flaws on my face. Just why do I have so many scars and acne. =(

I bought my Revlon colorstay pressed powder cos I wanna get a new foundation. The Maybelline mineral foundation turned out to have some 'chemical' smell to me so I dun feel like using it. I dun get wats the difference between pressed powder and 2-way cake since both are foundation. Just that the 2-way cake allows u to use it wet or dry. So I supposed both function as the same. -_- I think Revlon is pretty ok. Not really strong foundation smell. Just that maybe the colour is slightly too light/fair to me. Argh, why is it so hard to get the right tone for my skin colour. =(

Masks!! Beauty buffet masks are the new ones I just spotted which is from Taiwan. I'm biased. I only wanna use Taiwan and Whitening masks. hahaa. It's pretty good. but the essence is really very watery. It also recommends daily usage so is that a daily mask? I dun like to use masks everyday though. Twice a week is what I always do. Anyway now that I've switched to using masks as my only whitening way so maybe I should do it more often right? ooh..

And also amethystory yoghurt mask!! Gosh I bought it cos it smells good. lol. But it isn't very nice. It does make my skin looks bright but not smooth. And it's quite thick!! It took my some effort to wash it off. So I guess their exfoliator is better. =)

My friend gave me this Korean sanitary pads. It has really strong herbal smell!! I didn't think pads should have any nice smells since we have to change it often, not to mention herbal smells. I feel like a chinese medicine walking around. lol. Anyway the pads are really thin and even the sticker is nicely printed. O_O To me, I dun mind about that. Most important has got to be the comfort.

Oh, and my remedy for the day~!!

This Citron honey drink is really good when I feel like I'm heaty and gonna get a fever. After drinking it helps to cool my temperature down. And it's so tasty~!! I love this to the max! I pretty sure this one is the Japanese pomelo, which is why it's just so good! ^_^

This one is the last thing I'm gonna talk about cos I dun really like it.

I got this as a little gift to myself and my friend for xmas present. but the lotion is so watery and so is the bath liquid!! The vanilla smell is okay but other than that, is just an okay product. Duh.. I'm not gonna get this anymore for the next xmas. No wonder not many people are getting this. I thought it's pretty good since I love this bath soap/lotion type of skincare products as a gift. But sadly it's not tat nice to use. I guess other known brands will have better quality than this. Alright, lesson learnt.


That's all. Looking forward to more of my own next shopping. ^_^

Ayu A Best Live songs results + CDL 2012-2013 cover

Wow so the results [at the moment] are released!! The top 10 songs that most fans chose:

I see SURREAL there again!! O_O This song seems to be appearing everywhere, in almost every of her concerts. lol.

Well, as expected yeah, none of the 3 songs that I chose is in the list. hahaha. But I feel I'm okay with the results here cos most of them are my favs. But to be honest, my fav songs are 5 out of 10 there. lol. I love BLUE BIRD, JEWEL, M, Memorial address and SURREAL. So, I can this is pass for me! hahaha. Who... and MY ALL is there as the ending songs right? I think one of them is enough for me. I get why poker face is there as the debut song for Ayu, probably it must be there! but SEASONS is....I kinda get sick of that song already. Why is it there. lol.

Alright, maybe I should have voted for Memorial address the last time since I love it and Ayu didn't perform that song much. why why. I got 0 out of 10 for this song voting. lol.

Okay, not gonna give up or anything. Still have the chance!! Can still vote 3 songs per day until end of this month March 31. So maybe my 3 choices [from last week] can get to the list soon. [Or maybe I dun need to take this so seriously whether my favs got in the list. =( ] Just hoping. ^_^

Anyway, the cover for Countdown Live 2012-2013~Wake up~ is out!! :

I think this by far is the most gorgeous cover for her CDL. I usually dun like her CDL covers cos they always use Ayu on stage as the cover, not photoshoots in studio. I think it's hard to get the best image on stage as the cover. This time I think is really lovely. Maybe cos of the colours and Ayu's pose. haha. And this to be released on her debut date!!! April 8 ~!! Next month after the 5 releases~!! Good news!


Ayu got back to weibo yesterday~!!!

I dun really like her picture there actually. haha. Did she recalled her password? But why leave only one weibo post? Well, even I dun really go there often cos the layout and everything just made me so blur, besides that it's chinese and I have to take my time to understand what those functions are. lol. And this time I got back to weibo and have a look for the sake of Ayu. haha.
So Ayu, U gonna post something there for me to look at it!! And for us Ayu fans~!! 

Long Ayu post~!! JELLY mag + A BEST LIVE vote + 5th release + Ayu's FB account?

yeah!! Haven't been reading Ayu magazine interviews for a long time!!  Have just read the translation of this Special interview of Ayu in JELLY April 2013 issue. =)

I'm surprised that Ayu got herself a new 3-month old doggie and named him CREA just like the previous doggie she had for years already? I think I will be confused with doggies of the same name, although one has died already. haha. Just why didn't she upload that doggie picture too? And that means, how many doggies does she have now? Is it 7 or 8?? Is it me only, cos I felt tat Ayu has quiet down recently. Hmm...

The few popular songs among her friends and colleagues are Missing and Wake me up. I didn't notice the part on 'anata no yo'. haha I think I really need to grab my copy at listen to it carefully.

Anyway, I didn't know that the stresses on different syllables for a Japanese word could refer to different things. O_O Oh well since I didn't really learn Japanese through classes, I guess speaking in Japanese could probably not be tat simple as what we think. But at least I know Ayu is refering to a person in SAKURA rather than the flower. lol. I would really love to know how different do they sound like. =p So gosh, when can I be able to attend proper lessons and speak to a Japanese?


Yeah I just voted for Ayu's 15th Anniversary ~A Best Live~ songs!!

Well, we can only vote for 3 songs. I'm still excited when it comes to voting for this. lol. Although the result may not be what I want nor do I really care that Ayu sings the songs I've chosen [cos most probably will not.], I still feel the thrill in voting. haha. This one is good cos they let us to vote now even for non-TA members like me. =)

The songs I've chosen are: I am... , SCAR, everywhere nowhere.  ←Yes, old songs!

I can't help but feel like chosing old songs that she didn't perform much at all. Have gotten pretty sick of her popular songs that she kept singing over and over in her concerts. I wonder what most people will choose? I think my choices are really different from most fans I guess. Well, i didn't place a lot hope on this. Just wanna vote for the fun of it anyway. haha.

I got stunned a little at first when I saw there were so many songs to choose from, showing all the releases tracklist even from compilations! In fact, I wasn't prepared to vote at first. lol. Oh no, shouldn't I have vote for kanariya just now? I dun remember seeing her sing this song live!! I think it would really be a challenge for Ayu to sing such a high pitch song now. lol.


The 5th of the 5 releases for 15th anniversary: Arena Tour 2012~HOTEL Love songs~

Not surprising cos ayu releases her concert DVD every year. More of her new songs in Party Queen for this live. This cover is pretty cool but not that I would love it. haha. But still, having this as the 5th release isn't that special or anything. Oh wells...


Ah... One surprise: Is this Ayu's personal account at Facebook?

This has made us fans guessing and wondering all the time already. lol.. Just look at the friends that she's added. There's Timmy, Leslie, Ryan and Mika Noguchi! [That's all that I know of the people around her anyway.] Do they know if it's really Ayu that they're adding? and why would Ayu put that as her profile pic?? Not that pleasant looking and is that a photo of her or somebody else? lol. 

Well, there's no updates/info from this account nor adding 'her' as a friend. I have my suspicion over this of cos. I dun think Ayu would do that (with that photo) and yet she may be trying to do so so as to hide her identity. Hey, but no way! Then she shouldn't have put her real name in the first place!! lol. 

Ok, it's really troubling to keep guessing. Waiting for Ayu to clear this doubt. Will she? 

Ayu support Leslie Kee~

Oh no I know I'm really late for this news which is last month's. It's about Leslie who got arrested for his photoshoot book being sold in a fair for inappropriate content. Well, I dun get why is he only being arrested now cos of this. Because he's known for shooting celebrities photos in...quite an explicit way.  Everyone knows isn't it?? Leslie has been a well known photographer in Japan for years already. Why is it that the authorities are doing that to him now? Anyway, the case seems to be over already. It's a small news with Ayu tweeting to support Leslie over this case. There are some netizens that say Ayu is trying to make news about this. Duh, Ayu has enough news of Maro in the past year. I dun think she needs to do that now. She's just showing her support to her photographer who has worked with her for years. The only thing I dun like is that photo she uploaded. lol. I dun really like Party Queen until now and surely not Ayu showing so much skin. But it's still good to see them in good relations isn't it? =)

I still love the RAINBOW album cover shoot that Leslie did. Some Super Ayu photoshoots are really nice too. Somehow I think is the creative shoots that u did would be enough. Need not be too explicit u know. Please do a pretty princess/fairytale-like booklet photoshoots next time for Ayu. I think that requires more skill. haha.
