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!

Really Really (Dalmatian)

I really wanted to attend Beast concert badly. Really really badly.

Black & White (G.NA)

the annual reunion with my maternal cousin.

but our reunion ain't complete, without the other cousin who is studying in Edinburgh and the other one in India.

and that's exactly how much we grew up.

******

my favourite solo artist (G.NA) released her new album, Black and White yesterday. And thanks to her, 4 minute and Beast, I won a CD from The Breakfast Show NTV7 by participating in the slogan writing. What an awesome way to officiate 2011!and thanks to her title track, I discovered the coolest app in Iphone 4. One freaking awesome, FREE photo app that i enjoy tremendously. Be prepared for the worst.

Bye, there goes my image.

but honestly, I don't care about my image any longer after being ruined by my dearest friend, Siang several times. =)

Black and White Rocks!

Special (B2ST)

stay at this page till the picture moves.

Are you irritated with the moving pic? Lol. I was.

Currently, I'm trying my real best to learn guitar.

Good news: I could play Jingle Bell now

Bad news: My fingers are in pain and it's only the chorus I could play.

I'm being pedophile lately, all because of this Guitar genius. How I wish I was six years younger.

p/s: I am lucky and fortunate that my house in Brisbane was not flooded but Brisbane will never be the same again after the flood. Hereby, I would like to convey my heartfelt sympathy to the victims of the flash flood. May the ordeal ends soon and Brisbane returns to its sunshine state.

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.

I'll be Back

i'll be back (2pm)



am i blogging a little too often lately? sorry, my bad.
i am TOTALLY excited right now for the fact that i will be back home this Friday. yes, on a plane, across the sea and cuddle myself on my own bed on Saturday morning. WOW, hard to believe but it has been a year. time flies amazingly fast.

my updated playlist (28th Nov)

hey sis, if you are reading this post, please please i am begging you to play the video below. It features MA JUN, yes my gu ma jun from baker king. damn, i miss his incredible acting so much and sis, please do bring the other two cds back so i could stalk on him again.

Nothing could be more pleasurable in a music video when you are feasted with everything you wanted:- amazing vocals, incredibly good looks, sleek attires and pretty actress + my favourite actor, Joo Woon aka Gu Ma Jun. pure indulgence and fan-girling. am i too old for fan-girling?


1) Miss You : SM Town Ballad

2) First Snow, First Kiss : Yo Seob B2ST and Daniel Dalmatian

3) I like you more than anything: B2ST

4) Love again: Kyu Hyun SM Town Ballad



5) I'll Back Off So You Can Live - G.NA

damn, her vocals totally gave me those goosebumps especially when you are blasting it loudly on earphones and i can't stop replaying this song for her impressive vocals and also the lyrics itself which somehow affected me slightly. it feels as if the song was written for me. and everytime i listen to it, it pierce right through me. Shall i quote the chorus here?

(I know) you probably got a lady,
(I know) you probably got sick of me,
Even though the tears are rushing to me
I'll Back off so you can live
That is all I can say
I'll forget you so you can live better
So that you'll be happy without me
The love that you tossed away, you can take it
Don't even leave a trace behind and take it all
Don't even say you're sorry
Don't worry about me

6) Growing Pain Theme Song : B2ST (sorry no mp3 version, in fact i had to rip it from youtube video)

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)

Trashing All in One

i accomplished one of my bucket list:
To Sit in the middle of my Uni busiest road!!
(though it wasn't busy on the day i took the picture)
how awesome I am!?!

i have nothing much to blog about as I was practically staying at home most of the time. what a hardcore nerd i could be. and with exams in 3 weeks time, I have to bid all my shopping and eating out and loitering in city farewell. so yeah, I grounded myself at home. and looking back at all these 20 years, I could never understand how I survived through every exams. it's unbelievable.
i never enjoyed exams (nobody does right?) as exams make people different. friends become strangers and yourself become an entirely different person. overloaded with stress, dying brain cells and unhealthy diet with extremely dirty house and unwashed clothes piling up. the pathetic life of a university student. and once again, i am trashing everything into one post so bear with me, will you?

and the best form of enjoyment during exams is by watching dramas. Baker King,hell of awesome! My protagonist of all time, Gu Ma Jun. He is hell of hot and evil which makes him the ideal realistic character. and by having him as my desktop wallpaper, it inspired me to study and repay my hard work by re-watching my favourite scenes of him in the drama. an ingenious way of keeping me awake and staying on the table.

pictures keep memories alive and who could even believe that the picture above was taken two years back? so much fun and joy and it felt as if it just happened a few days back. Time flies faster when you're older. and with the fact that I am graduating in two years time, I feel old with many unaccomplished youth dreams.

the 100% knitted-coated toilet! would you even dare to use it? so much comfort while peeing.

and i just have to share these awesome new songs that I am currently addicted to.

1) 'So Today' (by Ft Island -my fav jae jin sings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
tell me that you love jae jin's voice more than hong ki's voice for this song.


2) Clenching a Tigh Fist (by Beast)
3) Grenade (by Bruno Mars)
4) Saram (by Lee Seung Chul -Baker King Ost)
5) Love (by Jon Woon aka my Gu Ma Jun)
6) Soom (by Beast)
7) Say No (by Beast)
8) High Fly Acoustic Ost (by Jong Hyun Cn Blue)


and that's all folks! and i am seriously anticipating for all the good stuffs in November; officially the end of my 2nd year as a Pharmacy student, shifting into a new house, watch Mary Stayed out all night and It's Okay, Daddy's Daughter and having a crash course on Guitar.

(no idea how i tilted my head till that angle, pretty awful huh)
till then, can't wait to smile like that again!!

Yen -J
my official favourite Chinese singer.
Though i may not be the one for him, I love his songs to pieces.
His songs are really simple but his music is really catchy and unique. He plays with the music to make it addictive and I truly respect his talent. I adore his songs to pieces.
Now, go figure out what i want as my birthday present.
Not yen-j of course, though he would be my ideal guitar teacher!
instead,
Yen-J album, please!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks in advance.


(my favourite song of his)




(the cutest song of all: Love is Curry)

No other MV

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

G-Hyung

since i was young, i always wanted to play either guitar or drum. well, obviously i have to rule out the last one because my parents could never afford that. and my intention of learning guitar somehow disappeared halfway through. none of my family members are musically inclined, not even my relatives. maybe it just doesn't belong in the ng's blood.
but after 19 years, i finally bought myself a guitar with my very first pay from being a tutor in university. it was satisfying to get something with your own money and even better satisfaction when you finally had what you wanted for so long.

yes people, this is my G-Hyung (my guitar's name) and i officially make him a boy. haha. well, boy is way cooler for sure. he is 3 months old by now but his owner is not progressing at all. honestly and full with embarrassment, i am still stuck with learning the chords and i have no single idea if i am getting it right or wrong. and plus my super busy schedule as a 2nd year pharmacy student, poor G-hyung spend most of his time lying beside my bed, screaming for attention.

well, G-hyung, i promise you that i will be able to play a song at least by end of this year next winter. i am a slow learner in music stuffs and probably the worst one too. sorry. but i will be good to you G-hyung. and i promise you G-hyung that i will get you a white guitar as your gf in 10 years ten when i am really good in guitar already. hahaha.

p/s: G-hyung = combination of G-dragon ( my fav rapper) and Hyung Nim (from you're beautiful series) yeah, i know it is lame but i find it real cool and the name was invented by my dear roomie.

p/s p/s: i am so inspired in learning my guitar after watching k-on. if yui can do it in 3 months time, i should be able too though i surpassed my three months period. lol

p/s p/s p/s: 4 DAYS MORE AND I WILL BE IN MELBOURNE! ALOHA SIS!

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.
