Unexpected Findings

Last week had been a hectic one, with some personal matters to take care of and I went back to my hometown for a relative's wedding. I packed until late at night, nope, the wee hours to be exact then had to wake up at 6.30am... We left the house around 8am with me driving all the way from Klang until Ipoh. There were lots of zoning in and out due to the upgrading work in progress causing some minor traffic jams. Thanks to that we finally managed to reach Ipoh by 10.30am.

The wedding dinner was held at a seafood restaurant. I had to say the people there are pretty much accurate in terms of time. The dinner was supposed to start at 7.30pm. We left my auntie's house at 6.45 and reached there around 7.20. There were no parking so my dad had to make few rounds at the place. Believe it or not, there is another restaurant opposite and that Saturday everywhere is full with bookings for wedding dinner. Our place is upstairs and the upstairs were divided into 2 (left & right). My relative had the left side of the restaurant while the right side was dominated by another bride and bridesgroom's wedding.


We are the groom's side and it was a cousin (?) whom I had not met for about... let's see... 10 years? I still remember how he looks when he was younger and no doubt I could recognize him easily as he walks in hand-in-hand with his beautiful bride. Funny thing was, we were sitting next to each other's table yet me and my other cousin wondered whether he'd remember us :) can't help it since it was such an absolutely long period of time! When he and his bride came over to our table to which everyone in our table all toast to their happiness, we spoke for the first time. He stood beside me and said, "You're Ah Ping right?" I laughed and said, "You remember me!?" to which he replied, "Of course! Do YOU remember me?" . And then he started looking around the table and identified several of my other cousins.


After the dinner and as we were all saying goodbye to him, we chatted a little. Regarding last time, what we are doing now, how old we are etc etc. I'd wanted to catch up more but there were other people behind me and my mum was gushing me so I wished him and then went downstairs with my auntie and cousin sisters. Anyway it was a really happy occasion to have been able to see him again, as well as my other relatives whom I didn't get to meet early this year (as I was still in Perth at that time).

Riiiiiiiiiight now we change the topic a little... As I was browsing the net today, there was a sudden urge to re-watch some of the V6's funny videos I watched last time (years back). Unfortunately I couldn't find them, only managed to find 'Cinderella'. From there I was linked to many other funny Arashi, Kinki Kids, JJr's vids etc. Then I saw one clip that says that Tsuyoshi (Kinki Kids) used to be roommates with Junichi (V6) and I was so hyped up! I mean, I had always liked to hear news regarding this two since I do think they match pretty well together. They are both good friends as opposed to Koichi (Kinki Kids) and Nagase (Tokio) being pals. Weeeeeeee~ and after that I saw some of Arashi's clips. There were lots of comments and pairings that fans came up with. But there was one particular video regarding an interview on a variety show that blew the whole thing off. Jun and Aiba was complaining on how Nino and Ohno seems to be extremely close to each other. Jun said Nino likes to touch Ohno's butt regularly, and Ohno seems to be really happy when Nino does that! Aiba added that there was one time Nino rubbed perfume for Ohno and they wore the same perfume LOL. I dunno what to say... I did find some clips that showed how close Nino and Ohno seems to be. As a matter of fact some fans said that Nino had started to buy gifts for Ohno, whereby buying gifts had always been a bothersome thing that Nino dislikes. Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees I absolutely LOVE this pairing too because both of them (especially Ohno) had always been my favourite members in Arashi. Though Jun complaint, there were clips that showed him and Ohno kissing~! Oh well... its complicated! LOL

What I am trying to convey is that such things never cross my mind. I'd thought of them as idols etc and that only in manga we have doujin. I was really surprised to find many people are engrossed in these pretty boys pairing =) Other interesting things I found was that there were a lot of Akame (Akanishi Jin x Kamenashi Kazuya), Ryo x Uchi (Nishikido Ryo x Hiroki Uchi) KameP (Kame x Yamapi/ Yamashita Tomohisa), TakkiP (Tackey/ Takizawa Hideaki x Yamapi), T & T (Tackey x Tsubasa), OhnoJun (Ohno Satoshi x Matsumoto Jun), OhnoNino (Ohno x Ninomiya Kazuya) and many others. But better still, there are still fans who wanted a Ryo x Ueda (Ryo x Ueda Tatsuya) pairing though there were numerous events that showed both's dislike towards each other. There are also fans who dislike Ryo for his mean demeanour =( ... However in my opinion, that's just the way Ryo shows himself. He isn't much of a pretentious person and a little on the harsh side, especially with language maybe because he's from Kansai (no offense, please). I don't think he really hates Ueda but I guess sometimes there are people whom you just couldn't get along well with.




Both from Kansai, I think Ryo and Uchi does make a good pair, don't you think? Ryo had hugged him on several occasions and had been particularly nice to Uchi (no?). Perhaps its because they get along better than with the others *wink* ... I heard too, that Ryo's close friends are Tackey, Yamapi and Jin. A funny combi don't you think? Nevertheless, they are all my favourite~!
