Title: YUI's Birthday Present (Singapore)
depyon - March 3, 2008 01:09 AM (GMT)
CALLING ALL SINGAPOREANS!
HI, amid all the hype and excitement of giving YUI her 21st birthday present as YUI-LOVERS, I think we should do our part too! (Esp for those who were too late to join the collaboration, LIKE ME)
Well, I've discussed with moonchild, and we've decided to keep it simple. First, we'll buy a welch (not too big, if not it's going to cost a bomb) for her! And secondly, we'll write our messages for YUI down and send to her. For the messages, we could either all write on a large piece of board/paper (which is not very feasible, as it's difficult to send), OR, we can write for ourselves on small pieces of paper, then collate and send them together.
WELL, it's really up to our own creativity. The only problem now is TIME CONSTRAINT. I know everyone's busy with their own commitments. And especially for me, I'll be flying off in 10 days time.
If you all are UP FOR THIS, please reply and give constructive comments. And WE REALLY NEED TO GET THIS KICK-STARTED. We'll call for as many Singaporean fans as possible, and discuss about this. If there's no objection to our simple plan as stated above, we can just start writing our messages to her by ourselves, and one fine day, we'll meet up to pass to each other. As for the welch, it's easily attainable from any carrefour or whatnot.
Got it, Singaporeans? LET'S GET STARTEDDDDDD

hmm some details need to be settled... how long does it take for the stuff to reach Japan? and for that matter how is YUI gonna receive it? we gotta set a deadline too otherwise it'll probably drag until her 22nd birthday XD
(hopefully by then the welch wont be expired LOL)
How about everyone posting what they want to write here, and somebody collating everything and writing it down on a piece of paper or something...
depyon - March 4, 2008 06:09 AM (GMT)
Hmm I think it takes less than a week to reach, so it should be all right if we send about one week before.
As for whether should we write it ourselves or not, we need to gather opinions from the rest. But personally, i think it's better to write them ourselves, but of course, that will take more time and effort.
As for now, we need to gather how many people actually wan to be part of this.
1) depyon
2) moonchild
3) asuna
Please carry on the list! And give some comments on how this should be done~

depyon - March 4, 2008 10:41 AM (GMT)
LOL that's the biggest thing here now. It's a drink that YUI loves! You can check out at the General Talk thread>Have you had your dose of WELCH yet?
Come, come get more people to respond! We need to get this done real quick!!
hungrydragon - March 4, 2008 11:16 AM (GMT)
ure sending her Welch? Wont there be security chk..probably wont even give it to her..."Might be poisoned" as they may think..
Darn .. Im not a singaporian :'[
i dont think anyone drinks welch here...theres alot here...US
depyon - March 4, 2008 11:33 AM (GMT)
Oh hmm that's a good point. I was thinking of that too, whether we are allowed to send food and drinks stuff through mail.

depyon - March 4, 2008 11:55 AM (GMT)
AH SCHOOL HOLIDAYS. How long have i not had those? lol... if you all don't mind, i can meet up too. I'll be in Singapore until next Thursday (13 March) so we need to get this done before that, or someone has to take charge and make sure this is done!

I wont make it on weekdays T.T So please do it on the weekends
depyon - March 4, 2008 12:10 PM (GMT)
AHHH REALLY.. you can't make it on weekdays during the school holidays too? That sucks.. cuz this saturday and sunday would be my last weekend in singapore, but I've already got plans.
HOWHOW!?
IN ANY CASE, our plan now is
1) Get a Welch for YUI
2) Write down our messages for her (separately, then compile them together)
Is that all? Let's keep it short and simple, all right? Or if there's anyone who's good at video-making, we can do a short video clip. Yup it's really up to us, but we need to decide FAST!
shinji_tono - March 4, 2008 12:12 PM (GMT)
well it is an issue. in the US when my father brought some goods from here to bring over to my uncle, he brought the items in can (we had them canned). but still they were held off. the customs questioned my father what was inside the cans. when they knew that those were foods they confiscated them. :what
so there, I don't know about that in Japan. maybe you'll be luckier if you'd use courier service. you have higher chances since it's just liquid and it's inside a bottle. (I don't think bomb threat is that high or even exists there so security will be more lax I think)
YEAH VISIT THE WELCH THREAD AND DRINK ONE TOO! YAY! (advertising nii-san. LOL! :YUIFace )
DJAffinity - March 4, 2008 12:22 PM (GMT)
ARGH!! TYPO! DANG IT!! IT SHOULD BE WEEKENDS!! SORRY DEPYON!
depyon - March 4, 2008 12:31 PM (GMT)
Ah that's great. I think we should all meet up, with the raw materials to make the 'card', or compilation of messages. It just makes things easier. And regarding WELCH, if there really are security implications, we might have to forgo that idea, and think of something else, maybe the short video?
depyon - March 4, 2008 12:39 PM (GMT)
I HAVE ANOTHER IDEA.
We can buy her a bithday cake! And take photos/ video of it!
And since we have so many guitar players here, we can just play and sing her a song! Then we'll burn it into a cd or sth and send to her!

i also wan to take part... but i do not know how to play guitar... ya... WELCH even it can reach japan... the shipping fee will be more expensive than the drink...
i am with the idea... make video and photos...
if we can have enough ppl, we can make a video of wu~wang... tat would sound fun...
depyon - March 4, 2008 01:06 PM (GMT)
AH DON'T WORRY I CAN'T PLAY THE GUITAR AS WELL.
Should we set aside a time to meet up? Like next Monday/ Tuesday?
Okay maybe we'll just forgo the idea of WELCH.
I think we can buy her a cake, and sing a song for her. Then we'll do a massive Wu-Wang together. She's going to love it. LOL.
Last but not least, we'll make a compilation of our messages to her.
Fanny - March 4, 2008 01:07 PM (GMT)
i dont like to spoil the plans BUT..
based on this welch thing, i think its a high possibility that this drink won't reach YUI. To what one of u said, the security won't risk this drink being 'poisoned' or something dangerous to be sent to YUI.
SO what i think is feasible is a collage of messages, photos and of course, a video. I think that has a got high chance of reaching YUI.
I will gladly lend my hand to this 'project' :)
moonchild - March 4, 2008 01:11 PM (GMT)
Thanks everyone for your support!!
Haha...
Hmm....Since everyone is worried abt whethere Welch will reach YUI..I got another idea...
Y not each of us go get a bottle of Welch take a picture with it?Either by holding it,drinking it,or any other crazy pose that you can think of...
How How? :hee
Fanny - March 4, 2008 01:13 PM (GMT)
that's also a good suggestion..
depyon - March 4, 2008 01:20 PM (GMT)
AHH GOOD IDEA.
Can someone be in charge of this then? We'll all take the photos ourselves, and send it to ONE person, who will go develop them.
Any volunteers? Or just send to me? lol..
moonchild - March 4, 2008 01:28 PM (GMT)
@depyon: since i am one of the organiser..of cos muz do my part lah..haha...can send the pics to me..if i got time mayb can do into a board or smth... :clap

depyon - March 4, 2008 02:32 PM (GMT)
OKAY GUYS. THOSE WHO ARE INTERESTED, HERE'S THE PLAN.
1) A video of ourselves (which will be discussed further when we meet up)
2) A photo compilation of all of us with welch. -PLEASE SEND A PHOTO OF YOURSELF AND WELCH TO MOONCHILD ASAP (BY THIS WEEK) [if you haevn't gotten yourself one, go get one!!] lol.
3) A compilation of messages. If you are meeting up with us, you can write it then. If not, write it beforehand and pass to one of us.
SO, THOSE WHO CAN MAKE IT, MEET AT CITY HALL STATION AT 2PM ON MONDAY, 10 MARCH 2008.
If you can't make it, but still eagerly wishes to be part of it, please pm or email me. We'll think of a way out of this.
Meanwhile, PLEASE TAKE A PHOTO OF YOU AND WELCH! and write (or at least think of what to write) a message for YUI!
CHEERS.
asuna - March 4, 2008 03:26 PM (GMT)
wait wait wait. where do i find welch? lol. i suppose NTUC has it?
I can't make it on monday, so i'll include my message with the photo in an email to moonchild, that ok?
further suggestion on "crazy" poses: wu~wang! or wu~nyan! haha. i was thinking of sending a guitar pick too... in the faintest hope that she'll use MY pick to play her guitar LOL.
DJAffinity - March 4, 2008 03:40 PM (GMT)
Happy Birthday to YUI YUI, Happy Birthday to YUI YUI.. la la la ~~ :sry
depyon - March 4, 2008 04:04 PM (GMT)
YUP NTUC/Cold Storage/ Carrefour has it.
Lol send your guitar pick! She might use it!
the_chap - March 4, 2008 04:45 PM (GMT)
Well, instead of everyone having their own individual Welch in their own photo, let's have a group shot instead.
We can bring some YUI related stuff just to show that it's all about YUI. Also, can have a birthday cake for YUI taken together with the Welch and stuff.
Kai-san - March 4, 2008 06:10 PM (GMT)
Well, YUI has had 2 albums (both with winter jacket version), 11 singles (4 with limited edition covers), 1 concert DVD, 1 movie DVD, and that limited-to-2000-pieces indie CD. Total of 21 to symbolize YUI's age.
Just get all the above 21 items, a bottle of welch and 11 people (each person holding 2 items). There you go, a very nice photo for YUI to celebrate her 21st birthday.
For something special, maybe write your messages on score sheets and collate a booklet.
swing - March 4, 2008 11:42 PM (GMT)
teh video, we will just roll out the tune of "happy birthday to you you", den we will do it interview style, 1 by 1 say something to YUI. i dunno man, this kinda thing not my field of expertise. talk cock is, doing work aint.
depyon - March 5, 2008 12:13 AM (GMT)
Hmm the reason why we're taking photos of WELCH separately is because some of us can't make it on Monday. Well, we can take many photos- individual or group, and just develop whichever on is nice/ suitable.
YES Kai-san, that's a brilliant idea.
CAN WE GATHER ALL HER SINGLES/ ALBUMS/ DVDS on Monday?? Or at least, bring whatever CDs you have of YUI.
Please state down which are the CDs/DVDs you're going to bring, so that we can ensure all of them are present! (if possible. if not, we'll just make do with whatever we have)
Fanny - March 5, 2008 12:32 AM (GMT)
is there a reason why we do it on a working day, of all days, Monday XD.. hahaha would be better on weekends, but i understand if the organisers are rushing this out and have other commitments..
depyon - March 5, 2008 12:38 AM (GMT)
^ Haha yeah there's a reason. Firstly, it's cuz it's school holidays next week! Secondly, I'll be leaving next Thursday. Well the second problem can be easily solved if there's someone to take charge from here!
If there's a need for us to meet again on a weekend of something, just go ahead! Yeah just ensure that it's done! XD
Fanny - March 5, 2008 12:42 AM (GMT)
ok then i suggest how about this Saturday, let's say around 11am? Is everyone able to make it?
depyon - March 5, 2008 01:17 AM (GMT)
Yup I can, though some of them told me they can't. But I guess it's okay. It's impossible to gather everyone on one day. So maybe we can meet a few times or something, so that everyone gets a chance to do their part.
OKAY, so first meeting will be this saturday at 11am. (venue:?) Maybe we can do whatever we can first, then for those who can't make it, we'll have another on Monday.
Yay good stuff! Hmm Fanny, could you be the in-charge of this, then?
In charge of co-ordinating, collating, and sending! I'll do whatever I can before I leave, don't worry! Or if there's any other more senior Singaporean YL, he/she can take charge!
( :sry just suggesting! Since you're one of the more senior people)
the_chap - March 5, 2008 01:49 AM (GMT)
This Saturday sounds great.
@Kai-san
Great idea. I have 20 of the above mentioned items. Just missing Love & Truth normal edition.
glaxglider - March 5, 2008 02:53 AM (GMT)
wah... the chap = madeness.. :P
could we also send her the "meronpan no uta" MV too? *just a suggestion.. :)*
dUStyEX99 - March 5, 2008 03:37 AM (GMT)
