Unlike most couples I know, we don’t have a wedding portrait anywhere in our home. We have pictures, yes, but they’re all in an album.
We do, however, have a portrait of Takuya Kimura. It’s huge, about 4 feet I think. That’s him when he was much younger in his early or mid twenties.
I bought the poster from Tower Records some years ago and got my man to put it into a frame I got from Ikea. Unfortunately, it suffered a crack immediately afterwards due to that man’s fault and this portrait has been sitting cold behind the curtains for many years now. Occasionally, I’ll pull it out to admire. And I even make sure that my son recognises him and knows how to pronounce his name. (Yesh he does!)
By the way, Takuya’s new movie Bushi no Ichibun will premiere in theatres in Japan tomorrow. I can’t wait to read the reviews and watch it when it releases officially here.



Wah seh! Although I said I am a Rain’s zealot, I dun have a portrait of him hanging around the house leh. Not even photos of him lor. I must 反省反省 liao.
Ashes: Heheh. Yes, you must 反省反省, although I must add that I’m still not devoted enough.

We don’t have any wedding photos anywhere either. I’m not a fan of photos of any people sitting around the house. It creeps me out to see people looking at me all the time. Even myself.
ally: I haven’t thought of it that way. But it’s true, especially if the portrait is big.

No people pics for me too. I have this dream of doing a feature wall with monochrome shots, framed in with a thick white border, of every place we have been to.:)
DR: Hmmm…sounds like cool.

Your man didn’t mind that? Mine will probably complain..
You are really his no. 1 fan huh?
ZM: No, he didn’t. Cos he also like TK.

Sesame, perhaps your man purposely crack it because he doesn’t want it put up?
Erika: No lah, it was an accident. He also like TK.

Hehe … kinda looks like me.
Loong: Sure or not? Send me your pic and I’ll decided.

Jes: I have that one too! And LV is also one of my fave drama.

You crack me up. My fav. celeb is Justin Timberlake and I’m going to make sure Hailey recognizes him too!
Irene: Of course you must! The whole family must be in this!

A funny story, sesame!
I also have a pic of Takuya Kimura in my room – on the book shelf, and in the frame. The one with a lipstick.
Sasha: I know that one! Seen it on the Net. It’s sexy!
