welcome

It keeps coming back to me
I remember this pain
It spreads across my eyes
Everything is dull

Everyone's smiling, they're smiling
It pushes me far far away
I can't understand
Everything is blue

Can you hear me out there?

Will you hold me now Hold me now My frozen heart
I'm gazing from the distance and
I feel everything pass through me
I can't be alone right now
Will you hold me now Hold me now My frozen heart
I'm lost in a deep winter sleep
I can't seem to find my way out alone
Can you wake me

I know when I let it in
It hides love from this moment
So I guard it close
I watch the moves it makes

But it gets me, but it gets me
I wish I could understand how I
Could make it disappear, make it disappear

Anyone out there hear me now?

Will you hold me now Hold me now My frozen heart
Kiss my lips
and maybe you can take me to your world for now
I can't be alone right now
Will you hold me now Hold me now My frozen heart
Please make it all go away
Am I ever gonna feel myself again?
I hope I will

hiatus
Monday, December 31, 2007 ( 5:09 PM )

I'm back, Dec's been pretty hectic and I've been pretty lazy these days to even blog.

Days like these probably wouldn't last forever, when I'm stuck at home/laboratory/factory doing fyp.

Mindless msn, brainwashing movies + anime, endless music enjoyment, pigging out on hello pandas is an extreme form of playtime for me when i need a break from fyp. I actually reread my old blog posts, found myself reminiscing about certain things. It's silly but I wonder what kind of a person I would have become if I didn't went through the various ups & downs, drill consequences of impulsive-it-must-be-love actions. Perhaps, somebody with a more positive outlook towards life.

I tried blogging about korean celebrities and I think it's more interesting to read what others have to type than to come out with new articles myself. L--A--ZZZZ---YYY

Lately, I have some crazy ideas about starting an online webstore to help my dad sell his stuff and clothes. I dunno if it will actualise into anything at all, cos I will probably be free-er to do stuff lidat after graduation. I hope it does, gaining experience from being ur own boss and learning the tricks of the trade from my dad wld be really quite interesting. But it needs lotsa discipline.

Need more punch/substance/logic in my entires. Well, I did pretty alright for the exams, amen. I hope I can do even better next sem and secure at least a 2nd upper/low honours.

I'm bored. I didn't to be on hiatus. But i'll be back with a vengeance when my writer's block goes off. SEE YA! Have a great new years DAY!

Let's end off with some pictures that I've taken in the month of December.



JYP
Wednesday, December 19, 2007 ( 11:24 PM )



The more I watch this video, the more I'm convinced that JYP is gay.
Why would the freaking camera zoom into his crotch area when he's dancing at the last few seconds of the MV?

JYP likes to sexualise his MVs, and since he isn't handsome and looks like a gorilla, he can't help but stir controversy with his music and mvs to hype up his popularity. Anyway he is already a successful mega producer and established artist in Korea. I dunno what to say, when I see JYP is weird, skimpy, holes-all-over-the-place outfits.

Enjoy this mv, "the house you live in"

Ah...as you all know, I love to shop. Shop online. There are a few sites that I love to check out.
if you love to buy cosmetic and facial products that are all below ten bucks / or korean brand coloured contact lenses or those barbie eyed contact lenses, you can find them all here. It's a spree, so you must have patience in waiting for the products to arrive. I have bought some stuff from here before, and I think the mascara and eyelash template is simply fabulous. Palatong powder is not bad, works well and is very light and thin.. just that the package is a bit too small for my liking. Wish it was bigger.
http://www.shopping-diva.blogspot.com/

If you love clothes, you can go to these two sites.
1. http://lil-dresser.blogspot.com
This site always update its korean style section once every 2 weeks and it's really affordable. Like this fashion's pricing. I have been buying regularly from this site and the service is good and efficient. I love this site, and it has office style clothes too, next time if i work in an office, i will be able to buy those office style clothes. The only bad thing abt this site is that, too many pple knows this site, and only the fastest fingers get the designated number of clothes for each design. But it's cool.

2.http://flirtydolly.livejournal.com
This site is set up by 2 NTU (possibly biz sch) girls. Their updates are very frequent and the clothes are really nice to look at. The pricing is similar to lil-dresser's, if not sometimes cheaper. Got style one, not really my style, so i seldom buy from them, cos I scared i can't fit into them. hahaha..BUT, the service is good and they are very efficient in replying and sending out their goods.

Hope you enjoy shopping with them!

Jun Ki
( 2:06 AM )


Can I just gush over Lee Jun Ki? He's so adorable!
I dunno why, this is the first time I find a single eye lid guy so attractive? My eyes are small, so I tend to prefer guys with double eye lids. But I guess a playful and cheerful person like Jun Ki has moved my heart. So I guess his personality has won me over. To me, Jun Ki is someone who always challenges himself to take on new difficult to portray characters and immerse himself into that character and effortlessly make the character alive. His dedication and talent in acting is definitely one of the reasons why he rose to fame overnight after acting in "The King & the clown".

I think he is really suave in his role in the "Time between dog and wolf" and i really love his forever changing hairstyles he dons inside the drama. He changes hairstyles when he goes through a different transition of his life. I lurve it, more reason to see junki in different hairstyles but i hate the last hairstyle, so flat. I prefer the spiky hairdo. I think junki looks SOOOOOO much better with short spiky hair, makes him more man than his "My Girl" periods in which he really looks like a girl. Junki, SHORT Hair suits you, and makes you more manly!


The Cassanova in "My Girl"
I fell in love with his onscreen persona, funny, flirty
and yet very sensitive and easily hurt by love.

I totally LURVE his serious, cool, emotional persona in "time between dog and wolf".

I hate this slick hair. No volume at all. Makes him look gay. PLS dun sissfy junki anymore.

Smirks. Heh. Why does his skin look so good?

Broods. Heh...

OMG, shuai si le.

I dunno why I find this hairstyle of his intriguing and cool. So ah beng loh. But i like.
Cos it's junki.

This boy boy look, makes him look girly. I prefer him with spiky hair.

His cuteness just went upppp!
Anybody would be more likeable when they pose with animals, esp DOGS!

Jun Ki, I oso want....pon pon..

Ahh..ultra CUTE

Looks extremely delighted to play with doggie!

This is a nice side view! Drools.

He looks really funny. Trying to act cool here.

Yeah, he smokes. I dun like guys who smoke, but he's not my bf.
So it's okie!

hahaha

EE!! KE AI SI LE!

BoA's Inner Thoughts revealed
Wednesday, December 12, 2007 ( 1:36 PM )



“I do not feel as happy doing what I am doing now. To put it more exaggeratedly, I think I might have lost myself, my sense of belonging, in the midst of working."

These words let slipped by BoA, who has been active as a front runner in the entertainment scene, were both shocking and surprising to the people around her.

‘It was probably after the release of my compilation album (Best Of Soul), that I began to lose my aim in life. I guess in a way, it was having to work constantly with no breather in between each moment, that made me feel that way. From time to time, I will think back and reflect, whether I am being too contented with what I have now. Honestly, I always wonder what will happen to me if I were to give up singing one day, but because singing has been my life, the thought of it is enough to just jolt me back to my senses that I need to go on with singing. But I guess it is the fact that I hadn’t have a break for so long that it is making me burnt out.’

As BoA told us these, she secretly threw a glance to her colleagues (manager etc) at the side and gave them a small but bitter smile. Indeed, throughout these 7 years, she has been shuffling back and forth between Japan and Korea without rest in her schedules and has used up 4 passports in the midst of her travelling. Perhaps it’s because she is so busy, that she cannot seem to find the motivation to drive her anymore. However, BoA has not lost her dreams all these while. It’s a dream made she was 15 years old — That she wants go abroad to America to study 10 years later, when she is 25 years old.

‘There’s still 4 more years to when I am 25 years old. Maybe I will really go abroad to study then. I want to study English and also take up ballet, these are what I feel are important and essential to me. Besides, I can still do recordings even when I am studying.’

Being an avid and inquisitive learner, BoA has mentioned during her teens years, that she would want to study Economics.”

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I really feel for BoA, that she doesn't enjoy what she has been doing since the age of 13 with her debut album ID: Peace B. Back then, I didn't really like BoA, tot she was some teeny popper who will fade into the background of the music scene as time passes. Well, after 7 years later, she is still relevant and active in both South Korean and Japanese music scenes, which is really impressive feat. I have my respects for her, as she has proven herself to be more than a teeny popper, but also as a fantastic, charimastic performer. If you have heard and watch her LIVE, you would know she is good at what she has been doing so far. Singing and performing.

It seems like her contract wouldn't end until she reaches 25, and nobody would like to see her in the burnt out state. SM really milks her dry with the endless schedule that she has..shuttling to and fro South Korea and Japan. I think it's sad, when the company doesn't realise or dun wan to recognise that she is tired. I believe this saying is true "Xiu xi shi wei le yao zou geng chang de lu". I hope her company will be more understanding about her emotional and mental well being. A satisfied worker is a happy worker.

I think its ironic that this successful girl isn't satisfied and happy with her own life. But it happens to many people who are rich, successful and depressed. To own the whole world, and yet lose your soul, is indeed a sad thing. BoA, jiayou! I'm definitely rooting for her!

wonder girls
Saturday, December 08, 2007 ( 11:50 PM )

The Wonder~ Girls~ are back!

I'm not jesting, there is a new sensational korean girl band named Wonder Girls (Wonder~ Girls~, this is how you pronounce, wavily). They are taking the entire nation (Korea lah, u think SG meh) by storm with their ultra catchy, super cute song titled "Tell me". It is an epidemic back in Korea, almost everybody knows how to dance the Tell Me dance. Watch it before you shrug your shoulders and think to urself..yet another girl band. What is awesome about Wonder Girls is that the youngest members in the group are only 15 years old while the oldest members is only 19 years old.


Managed by JYP entertainments ( here's the man himself-he looks like a gorilla to me and is a weird but fantastic singer-dancer-producer all in one), the girls were selected after a series of auditions. After one fatal car accident that involved their van (all the girls, manager and stylist) and a taxi (taxi driver died, 9 people were injuried, all of them were hopsitalised), one member being replaced as she wanted out of the group due to health concerns, the Wonder Girls are still pimping the music scene since their debut in this year's February. With JYP, you can always expect creative marketing strategy to sell the girls, erhm and their music successfully. As the girls are still underaged, it would be a problem if JYP tried to dress them up as hookers, while they pole dance, Korea will be in a rage. So what did JYP do? He gave them the 80s retro look (which looks good on the lead singer) and taught them how to dance sexily in short skirts/pants. Their sound is infused with tonnes of catchy eurobeat rhythm, which I must say, is actually pretty pleasant to the ears and their MV is CUTE. REALLY.


The Wonder Girls are touted to be JYP's (Jin Yoong Park) favourite, after Rain decided to leave JYP to form his own Rainy Entertainments and tried to make it big on his own in USA, which he failed miserably. They are so popular that a recent internet auction for a single dinner date with the Wonder Girls revealed that the top 5 bidders were willing to spend approximately $3500 - $ 5500 (USD). I bet only horny, desperate, perverted uncles are willing/able to spend/fork that amount of money to satiate their lolita tendencies and try to get intimate with the young under-aged girls (I guess when gorilla JYP is not around).

Enjoy the MV and compliation video, it's really infectious.




Their live collaboration with another HOT boy band - Big Bang on Music Bank


This is a compilation of random groups of people grooving to Tell Me. At some angles, I thought the dance looked really vulgar with the legs positioned far apart from each other. This is really hilarious.JYP is inside too.

Hero looka like
Wednesday, December 05, 2007 ( 4:42 PM )



Can you tell which one is Jang Yoo Joon from new boyband I the Tri Tops (ITT) and Young Woong Jae Joong from DBSK? I can’t, but according sources, the one on the left is newbie Jang Yoo Joon and right Hero Jae Joong.

It’s disturbing to see how identical these two pretty boys are, but the scarier part is how hard core Cassiopeias (DBSK fans) reacted to Jang Yoo Joon’s resemblance to their Hero Jae Joon. Similar to their close cousin, the Elves (Super Junior fans), Cassiopeias took the matter in their own hands and started to bombard Jang Yoo Joon’s cyworld minihompy with threatening messages when they first saw him perform on KBS2 Music bank two weeks ago. The Cassiopeias did a great job to scaring the living hell out of this 19 year old vocalist with messages like

Why did you get plastic surgery to look like Young Woong Jae Joong? (왜 영웅재중 따라서 성형수술을 했냐)

The way you hold the mike, the way you tilt your face and the way you dress is just like Young Woong Jae Joong. (마이크 잡는 법부터 얼굴의 각도, 옷 입는 스타일까지 영웅재중을 그대로 카피했다)

Be careful at night! (밤에 조심하라)

At the fan cafe, there are talks of taking a knife. Don’t try so hard copying. We are not kidding. (팬카페가 칼 들고 간다는 분위기던데, 따라하려고 애쓰지 마라 . 장난 아니다. 우리 한다면 한다)

Jang is now scared to step outside of his house, afraid to turn on his computer and is accompanied by his manager 24/7 to protect him from danger. And who wouldn’t after suffering from an attack from crazy Cassiopeias?

Ironically, Jang Yoo Joon was also a SM trainee back in the days, just like Young Woong Jae Joong. Perhaps father SM negotiated a buy one get one free deal.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is another post about korean artistes with striking resemblance... My guess is Jang asked his plastic surgeon to make him look like Hero from DBSK. It's crazy, but if God made them look-a-like, I have no say, but Korea is D-land of plastics fanatics, so I dun see why my assumption is wrong.

Given that the korean fans are a lunatic bunch who would do anything for their idols,
some examples

- the crazy 500 fans who waited outside the military camp to see ex H.O.T. member, Moon Hee Jun being released after 2 years of military service,

- heard that korean fans lurve to car chase their favorite idol after some publicity events, leading to car collision accidents and some innocent deaths,

- crazy netizens going online and spreading venomous rumors about celebrities whom they dun like, leading to some suicidal incidents of targeted celebrities.

Jang is probably having a hard time, facing his new groups of antis (probably zealous DBSK fans). The whole DBSK group especially U Know & Hero should just speak up and tell their fans to shuddup, and stop making a ruckus out of it - of cos, in a loving manner from Japan.

locked out
Monday, December 03, 2007 ( 2:19 PM )

Exams are finally over!! phew, managed to mug like a bookworm and i gave my best to study and understand as much as i cld over the past 2 weeks. I'm really quite worn out ( I can see my own dark eye circles) and I had been slp deprived during the last leg of the exams as I had 3 papers in one week. Nearly threw a temper one day before HRM due to lack of slp and other circumstances.

Slp deprived = Grouchy, Irritable

Anyway, It's time to focus on FYP but I'm like, too lazy to bother about it and I dun even want to start doing anything. But I have to. IF not I wldn't be graded well for the interim report. HAIZ. SIAN.

Yesterday I got locked out of my own house after coming back home from town. Gosh, my parents changed the lock pad and didn't give me the new keys. So when I went home yst, I was locked out of the house and my maid was locked inside the house. Goodness gracious me. I thought I was going to die, cos i wanted to eat my dinner and i wanted to bath and use the toilet!
Win oredi loh. I called my dad, his hp was switched off. I kept calling but it kept failing to engage to my dad's hp. So I gave up, meanwhile, my maid (God bless her) cooked me noodles and passed the bowl of noodles to me through the holes of the window grill (ya, it is locked too). Thank goodness for that meal, was really grateful to her for that.

But can you imagine that scenario of me sitting on a plastic chair eating noodles on a table along my unit's corridor. It was really embarrassing for me, cos the elevator was really near me, anybody inside the elevator could peek out and see me. I waited for like 2 hours for my parents to come back, all these while, my dad's hp was switched off and my mum was never IT savvy to begin with. Went around my neighbourhood for a walk, bought some sweets then went back, read a book and smsed and talked on the phone until my mum finally came back.

Man, this hasn't happened to me since secondary sch. haha. Argh..i'm going broke from all that shopping for xmas.

kim hee sun and look alike
( 1:10 PM )


DANG! Who's that? I dunno. Just some random korean model I saw on the Internet while online-shopping. But there were some photo shoots of her that made me jumped. She looks like Kim Hee Sun (Jing Xi Shan, the korean actress who acted in the Myth as Chang Er with Jackie Chan) Dun believe, look @ the pictures of Kim Hee Sun (left) and model (right) side by side. haha.

Don't you think they look alike? I think they do, especially the nose bridge (it's tall!) and that no-teeth-is-revealed SMILE =) The very slight difference would be that Kim Hee Sun's eyes are larger and rounder, whereas the model's eyes are narrower and longer and Kim Hee Sun's face shape is more oval and she has a roundish chin whereas the model's face shape is smaller and has a sharper chin .. I wonder if the model asked her plastic surgeon to make her look like Kim Hee Sun..

Speaking of Kim Hee Sun (30), she recently got married to a successful south korean businessman Park Ju Yong (33) on 19th October 2007. Well, lucky chap, getting married to one of the most popular and gorgeous korean actress in the SEA region. IMHO, I think they locok quite compatible together and her husband is quite good looking. Congratulations to their blissful union!
