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!

So much of being popular..

I ditched my long-established blog for varied reasons, either i am tired of it or hate the fact that

too many people knew about my blog. Despite many years back I would have forked all the way

out to publicize my blog, I would not do it now. I grew up. Back then, all I wanted to be was popular, to be known, to be pretty, to be the one and only one. Those days when i wanted to be everything that everyone wanted to be. Back then, I thought life was all about being popular and getting recognized from people. But surprisingly as i grew up, I begin to hide under my shell, isolating myself from the outside and keep hidden secrets within myself. I find it difficult to express what I hold beneath my heart and felt alone occasionally. I wasn't a special person and wasn't someone's special too. My life is plain boring, revolving around myself only. And as i grew up, I realized I was more complex than ever. Was it just a part of growing up? Or just the something that was only found in me? Right now, all I want in my life is to do the things that I

always wanted to do and care less of others' opinions on me.I may not be awesome but I can never change who I am.

and probably one day, I will be a superhero in myself.

Life of A Man (Joseph Vincent)

i refuse to believe the fact that i was back in Brisbane for a month already.

and for a month, i abandoned my blog.

i am not sure if i am glad to be back in Brisbane but I miss my parents and my sister dearly.

It feels different not having them by my side, not eating proper meal and not commuting by car any longer.

I am usually reminded that there is sunshine after rain....and after a storm, the sun will shine again. It may take a few minutes later, a few hours or even a few days but it will happen eventually. I might be seeing my sunshine soon for everything went pretty well lately. Despite the occasional ups and downs, I am handling it way better than before, for experiences make a person wiser.

I know my parents are checking my blog regularly and earnestly waiting for my updates. They aren't using skype and I couldn't see them visually for 9 months. It sucks and i miss their faces badly. So, here I am, back in my Blog.. stuffing as much pictures as possible to let them know I am doing great here. So worry less about me and be healthy back home.

In fact, in three words, I can sum up everything about my life: "It goes on"

rural awareness trip to maleny, sunshine coast.

lectures in a cinema-like theater.

the loser punishments. (outing with my pharmacy coursemates)

Korean International Dinner, we won ramen!

i am not sure if anyone realize, but my circle of friends is changing. For better or for worse? I could never figure that out, only time will tell.

and so, that simply sums up my one month in Brisbane.. and though it was more than that, I am just too lazy to upload the pictures in my blog.

Till then, I shall return to this blog real soon (I hope so)
