Best of 2011 Kpop Songs

For those who claim kpop songs are trash, then you're probably missing out one of the best-produced songs ever. I admit the fact that I listen to kpop songs most of the time, preferably those by male bands or male solo artist (sadly female voices especially those cutesy/ high pitched ones do not work well on me- totally hate it) and I am total sucker for korean slow and dandy raps, which I totally totally totally adore it. Hence, my best of 2011 definitely has a rap inserted somewhere within the song and I quoted some lines from the song too. Despite my dislike listening to female songs, Baby Soul's No better than strangers and Going Crazy (Song ji eun) stood high in my list, defeating all the other male songs.


Best of 2o11 (in random orders)

1) Can You Smile (Infinite)

"By having you by my side, you've lost your smile. Because you can only be happy once you leave my side"





2) The fact (Beast)

totally adore all the voices here

3) I remember (Bang Yong Guk ft Yoseob)

"First I became better than anyone else, I hoped you will regret it when you saw me, Yeah like that you even ignored my music, Now I blast it through the streets of Seoul"

4) On rainy days (Beast)

"It's over anyway, what is there to do now?, just looking back and regretting like an idiot, It rains all the time so this will keep repeating, when it stops i will stop too"

5)Run Away (Wei Chen ft Joon & Thunder (Mblaq)

(one of my favourite rap of all time)

"The sky's pitch black painted with shades of grey clouds, can't recall the last time I've seen a sunny day. You hear the concrete cry"

"if we can grow together instead of growing apart, maybe we can save what wasn't even ours form the start"

6) Paradise (Infinite)

"If only you're here, this is paradise, a paradise where I retained you against your will, a sad paradise from where you can't escape, a paradise where we can be together forever" (awesome falsetto chorus)

7) No better than strangers (Baby soul ft Wheesung)

i love this song as a whole because it tells a story and the verse after the 1st chorus was awesomely written.

8) Going Crazy (Song Ji Eun ft Bang Yong Guk)

I swear Bang Yong Guk's rap totally rocks the whole song even though it wasn't his song.

Apart from all the songs listed above, there's one particular song that will always remain special in my heart because I am exactly the kind of person, described by the song. Cold from the outside and finds it extremely difficult to express my love to someone including my own parents/family even though I treasured them more than anything in my life. "I love you" is not a term that you will listen from me but I do love everyone that's part of my life tremendously. So yes mum, dad, sis and friends, I treasure you a lot!

I My Me Mine (4 minute)

i am, one happy child.

with

1) a brand new striking red laptop

2) sis's arrival in Malaysia this Wednesday

3) B2st releasing 4 new tracks tomorrow with a prolonged version of my favourite song of theirs " Lights Go On Again"

laughing and smiling have been so easy lately.

till tonight, i am currently replaying five songs in itunes;- prettiest friend (jason mraz), udon ( by dong woon and davichi minkyung), like a star (taeyon & the one), i my me mine & what a girl wants ( 4 minute).

thanks to B2st, i am now addicted to 4 minute too. they're hot. sizzling hot and i somehow find myself drawn towards their songs easily. i am not so 'into' girl bands because i hate girl bands. exceptionally, 4 minute impressed me pretty well, with their vocals and sexiness. hell yes, if you are guy and you do not salivate upon watching the video, you're sick cause even i, as a girl drools over them.

Lights Go on Again

after the long hiatus, i am finally back with my blog. i am done with my second year as a Pharmacy student and hopefully it would be the official end of it. how depriving the year has been. and after all the shit i been through, it just feels surreal that i actually survived through this depressing year. life is great as for now (except for the searching house part) and i can't hardly wait to be back in Malaysia, reuniting with my family and my good buddies back in Malacca in which I assumed have changed tremendously - physically and emotionally. and most importantly to brush up my driving skills, guitar-ing skills that have never gone better, and hardcore watching korean dramas.

as i spend most of my time lying on the bed recently, listening to music and doing nothing (true bliss indeed), it came to me that i have so many good things in my life which i overshadowed it with all the trivial shits that I had. I have the best parents, the most awesome sister, 'kecoh' gang back home in Malacca, iphone4, sony cam, ipod, Hugo Boss orange perfume (thanks to roomie as my birthday gift), tonnes of clothes, shoes and bags. Though i used to hate my small eyes so much ( as my friends always questioned me the same thing regarding my small eyes: "The things you see izzit smaller? is the building shorter in your eyes?"- NO NO NO!), i start to realize the coolness of having smaller eyes. Though not electrifying like the huge sexy eyeballs, at least i have been mistaken as a korean for so many times in my life. I adore Korean girls for their beauty and to be mistaken as one of them even by the Korean themselves, it's a true humble honour.

(my greatest fetish over guys in uniform- drools..........)

current addiction owned by B2ST boys.
with tonnes of boy bands in Korean industry lately, there is hardly one that I would actually extremely fall for apart from my craze over DBSK during high school . there are so many new bands and i personally feels it jeopardize the music industry slightly but i should probably change my perception now as B2ST is seriously one of the best band of all time. six amazing boys with most amazing vocals, body, and humor. and the best way to judge a group's talent is through their live performances, not mv.

i am so owned by the hot rapper. and since it has been part of my habit sharing great Korean songs in my blog, i shall do it now too. listen to those songs and i bet you guys will enjoy it if you have the same 'laid-back' taste like me.

1) Lights Go On Again - B2ST
2) Beautiful - B2ST
3) Women...Know - AB avenue ( the girl in the mv is extremely gorgeous)
4) I'm going crazy - Seven
5) Angel - Super Junior
6) Tell Me Your Love - TRAX
7) It Hurts - 2NE1
8) You won't answer my call - 2am
9) I'll be back - 2pm ( no matter how much i dislike this band, this song gets really addictive)
10) W0W0W0 - Shinee (jonghyun's voice is real gold)

Lucifer

from this innocent looks,



to this hot dashing extraordinary look,



smirks. honestly, there are only few Korean bands that caught my eyes and they have to be real good to be in my liking list. shinee has been my secret band for a long time due to my embarrassment for being a pedophile. anyhow, i enjoy their music to the max. who cares if they are young as long as they entertain me? check out key (the half shave head), my favourite. dear siang, i am sure you will scream your lungs out when you discover who key is.

No other MV

drools over dong hae and sung min.
First pay check : half for parents and half to Korea.

Pre-Melbourne

Finally, tomorrow is Tuesday and soon i will be in Melbourne, reunited with my sister. been waiting for this trip for so long and it is finally here. feels surreal.

So, for two weeks, i will not be in Brisbane. i do really hope that this trip will mend all the sadness i had during my last semester. and perhaps i might return to Brisbane as a happier person if possible!

see ya guys! shall be blogging from Melbourne instead!

p/s: I am so excited of seeing my sister, Carolynn and Melissa again! Don't claim i am fat when you first see me! It is a big NO-NO!

Lotso looking evil as usual. Bad bear.
and
i am gonna end this post with my fan 'girling' mode.
Suju 'No Other' Performance.
i have been replaying the video for like 100 times and I could never get bored with it.
an amazing performance is usually one that looks effortless but yet entertaining.

A million Confession

in my blog as usual, i try my very best to refrain myself from saying too much about sadness or the down-part of my life because my parents are reading my blog and i do not want to make them worry about me. but i failed this time.
something that i learnt from this week was not to put false hope on something because you will only hurt yourself. yes i had the hurt. i do not blame on anyone except myself because i looked at things at the wrong way and believe too much on fairy tales ending. someone should really sue Walt Disney for making us believe that fairy tales do exists through movies like Cinderella, beauty and the beast etc. because in my life, fairy tales do not exist and there are just pure crap.

but however, all the hurt and sadness i experienced in this week had make me a different person. especially in terms of believing fairy tales. lol. Tears do happen and yes i do endure, grieve but i will move on. and i now believe that the only person who is with us our entire life is ourself.

the funny part of everything was i lost something precious to me but in return, i had 3 extra new things ; a friend who will cook lotus soup for me when i am sad, a friend who will download anything that i requested when i am sad and a friend who will be there to wipe my tears when i cry, accompany me for shopping and treat me a seafood pancake. if i knew i am going to get royalty treatment like this, i am so gonna cry everyday. nah, just kidding, crying hurts a lot and i might have cried a gallon of tears this week. Thanks a lot to the three of you guys ( you know who you are) because without you guys, i would have never felt better.

anyway, life goes on and so i am bouncing back to my normal life like how it used to be two years back revolving around friends and families. so worry less about me because i am doing absolutely great now.

********************************************************************************
a couple weeks back, i received this really interesting email from my mum and i thought it would be great to share with you guys on a couple of stuffs from this email. the email was about on How to stay young and happy for instance:-

a) Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you grasp for breath. And if you have a friend who makes you laugh, spend lots of time with him or her.
Now i know why i was so emo in Brisbane simply because I am not having my big laughter friend, Siang Shu Hua by my side. She always make me laugh and without her in Brisbane, i became totally stoned at times.

b) Enjoy simple things.

c) Surround yourself with what you love like music.
so that totally explained my extreme craziness into korean music lately as in more extreme than usual simply because i was sad and i found stuffs that could keep my mind busy. apart from the awesome music, i was entertained with desirable eye candy too. lol just like these: (Behold! Caution! If you hate korean songs, stop reading this post. )


my self-compilation of my dong hae in bonamana mv and performances. he is definitely my number one in Super Junior group.


my 2nd self compilation of my favourite dance moves in Bonamana mv. and at times i do prefer watching their live performances more because they had much awesome clothing there but something for sure nobody could dance better than them.


my 3rd self compilation of my favourite scenes in Love Mv by CN Blue. yes i do like jong hyun and min hyuk tremendously and sometimes it just irritates me a little when jong hwa is getting all the camera-attention. he wasn't my favourite in cn blue and even in you're beautiful series but of course he is an awesome singer that i can't deny.


and my final compilation of Sweet Holiday performances by Cn Blue. jong hyun guitar-ing skills and the mesmerizing white acoustic guitar. if only i could have one guitar like that.

don't call me crazy please.
trust me it ain't easy in getting the right part of the mv and print-screening it and compiling all of them together. well, i am doing it in the manual way. lol. ok, that's all for now.
mummy & daddy, i am doing really fine as you can see i am totally crazy about my korean music as usual. so do not worry about me!

One is Never Enough.

...including our big man's 21st birthday.
though i initially stated in my blog that we won't be celebrating his birthday any further, all those were part of our plans to disappoint him with the assumptions that we won't be free on his birthday. oh well, i doubted our plans ever worked for he was too smart to be cheated or we were too fake to be true.



we made reservations at Jo-jo's restaurant in the Brisbane District Centre @ City. lol. the ambiance of the restaurant was awesome and some food were great too but not all. we celebrated his birthday after our exams in the afternoon in which i was at the brink of failing it and resiting again this Thursday because one question wrong pretty much equals to failing. oh well, i am beginning to accept the fact that life in Brisbane could be real pain in the ass sometimes.



the restaurant was such a vintage with Audrey Hepburn and Elvis Presley posters all around. great way to be back in time with a group of close buddies. and of course the person who enjoyed most with Hepburn around us is my rooomie. she is undeniably a huge fan of Hepburn.

anyway, we do hope that the man enjoyed his 21st birthday, it wasn't grand nor superior but all we had in mind was some moments of friendship clicking. and we hope you had a memorable one! =)

*******************************************************************************
i tried my very best not to post about the things i want to type below because if i start typing about them there would never be a full stop. i could have possibly irritated my roommate so much by replaying the songs and videos for more than 50 times and very likely to annoy the other two guys too because i was disturbing them about the downloading thingy. but i don't think i can refrain any longer. YES I WANT TO YELL TO THE WHOLE WORLD AGAIN THAT I AM IN LOVE WITH SUPER JUNIOR 4TH ALBUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!! please do check out their bonamana mv and performances because it was way to awesome to keep them to myself only.






don't they have awesome choreography?
i am not linking their mv here because i love the song without the auto tune in the mv. it sound way better. but
anyhow my favourite song from the whole album would be awarded to One Fine Spring sang by Ryeo Wook.

p/s: siang shu hua, if you are wondering what kind of guy i like please do focus on dong hae, the one with the rose trick.hahaha.

ok back to my phrm 2030 newspaper assignment. getting a bit bored reading the newspaper articles but the boost of getting me going is none other than super junior songs as the background. hahaha. shall stop now or i will bore you guys out with my ramblings on korean stuffs.

Mashed Up

#1. Cny Visitation with friends.
originally wanted to do a post merely on the visitation only but i realized most of the pictures were repetitive, a whole bunch of girls taking pictures in different houses. plus it was extremely hot that day and i looked fugly in most pictures. nonetheless, it was an amusing day because i met most of long long lost contact school mates. but i still find it rather sad because the usual friends that i hang out during cny visitation aren't around for the next 4 years which includes people like jyi, darlynn, pin, yuin yi, mei yueh and jasmin.

#2. Food Hunting
my last week in Malaysia before my return to Brisbane for my 2nd year. my parents brought me around for the best food,be it in Malacca or out of town. in a week, i have eaten bak kut teh, fried cincaru fish, water cress soup, lotus soup, fried oyster, wan tan mee, lo shu fan, and etc.. too long to list all out. not forgetting the amazing otak-otak from Muar as introduced by my friend, Chong Hao. worst of all, i gained nearly 2kg in just a week. horrified.

#3. Last Day with Sis
sis will be flying back to Melbourne tonight and i won't be seeing till the next winter holidays if i only i am capable of saving enough money to visit her. sad. sad. sad.

#4. I adore G-Dragon.
yes, the g-dragon i am talking about is from the Big Bang group. he might be a freak in fashion style (though at times he do look good in what-ever-weird-stuffs he is wearing) in certain times, i find him rather addictive. he is one talented artist and i can't get his songs out of my head. he might be creepy at times but his songs are superb ( i don't care about the plagiarism thingy that he got blamed for) ranging from Heartbreaker to Breathe to But I don't love you to This Love (his version). His band is worth watching too and his dog, Gaho is a cutie pie.

(he is cute, ain't he?in my opinion, his talent is far more worth than his look.lol)

#5. Motor Arcade Freaks
finally and after ages of complaining, i finally found my motor freaks. though they are better than me especially you, Siang Shu Hua (which is so not fair because it was your first time riding it), it is definitely more fun riding with your friends instead of playing it alone.

can't type any longer because my sister is urging me to dress up as we need to send her to the airport after dinner. more sadness. bai bai.
