♪♫ I just wanna know.. ♩♬

in Alexander's 'I Just' CD, there are a total of nine tracks.  those nine tracks consist of two songs with different versions, plus a special track.

here's the tracklist:

01 - Oh! Baby (Korean version)

02 - Oh! Baby (English version)

03 - Oh! Baby (Japanese version)

04 - I Just (Korean version)

05 - I Just (English version)

06 - I Just (Japanese version)

07 - Oh! Baby (Instrumental)

08 - I Just (Instrumental)

09 - Bad Girl *Special track*

i preordered mine from Valoa Records.

'Oh! Baby' (Korean version)

'I Just' (Korean version)

'Bad Girl'

what i think of it:

first of all, i was super excited to know that he was going to release a CD.  that intrigued me to preorder a copy for myself.  i never thought that i would and i still don't quite understand why i did.  but i just did.  though there aren't many songs in this CD despite its nine tracks, which consist of Korean, English, Japanese, and instrumental versions of 'Oh! Baby' and 'I Just', as well as 'Bad Girl' as its special track, i find it interesting that the songs were composed in three different languages.  i appreciate the effort of trying to reach out to more international fans through these different versions.  the songs are cute and catchy, in my opinion.  Xander has always been known as a rapper and not so much a vocalist.  so, it was quite a surprise to fans when they found out about these songs sung by Xander.  most of all, i'm pretty sure that fans are glad that Xander is moving another step forward in his career by producing this solo album.  when you're a fan, you just want the individual or group that you're supporting to keep moving forward and do well.  it's as simple as that.  :)

알렉산더 화이팅! ♥ 

「たのしかった コンサートを みました。」

what i did for one of my Japanese Language assessments.
a sharing of my experience in attending a concert-like event.
simple...but it came from my heart~

The LOL Moment that I Really Needed

Xander (@alexander_0729 on Twitter) is one of the K-pop figures that i keep up-to-date with.  in fact, i look forward to his tweets because he's inspiring, positive, and God-loving.  you know that his solo showcase in KL falls on this weekend, right?  even if you didn't know, now you do.  :)  when i first heard about his showcase, i really wanted to go.  i was never officially a KissMe (U-KISS' fan, Xander used to be a U-KISS member) but i had the sudden urge to go to Xander's solo showcase since it will be in Malaysia.  but, the showcase ticket wasn't the only thing i had to think about.  flight tickets~~ companion~~ tickets for companion~~ accommodation~~ public transportation costs~~ meal expenses~~  T_T  so, i gave up trying.  plus, i believe that i'll have my chance next time.  i will...i will..!  right?

okay, here's what made me LOL.  read till the end, including the explanations.

here's a compiled screencap of his series of tweet + my reply (well, ONE of my replies) [read from bottom, alright?]:

the explanations are below [also, read from bottom.]:

God, heal our tired minds and hearts.

lately, whenever i feel drained, i find myself turning on my phone or the laptop, and ending up listening to U-KISS's 'Someday', among other songs in my playlist.  this song is like BEAST's 'Lights Go On Again' to me.  even though i don't completely understand the language (yet ;) ), i can relate to it.  even without knowing the English translation of the song, you would still be able to grasp the message.  English phrases like "everybody knows you tried", "everybody knows it's alright", "you get some right, you get some wrong", "the past is the past", "everybody wins sometimes, everybody knows you lose some" clearly give the idea that it's about facing hardships and feeling exhausted.  just don't give up!  i know it's easier said than done, but let's toughen up, okay?

"I followed my heart. I kept going even tho ppl think I m a fool. But I know wt God has prepared for me, and here I am STILL walking. :)" - Xander (@alexander_0729)

"You are created and fashioned by the Master. He made you just the way you are, and He has a specific and amazing plan for you." - Joel Osteen (@JoelOsteen)

take the message of this song to your heart.

the live version of the song, just to show you the gorgeous members of this group. :p

p/s: i still miss the former members, Xander and Ki Bum, though.  always...but let's move on, okay?

English translation:

sometimes hit, sometimes miss, it’s always like that

just do it right tomorrow

it’s just a small mistake

sometimes bottom, sometimes top, sometimes number one

getting first place

you can only go down anyway

without it, just live without it

it’s just greed you have before you win it...oh

your suffering now is a sign of your hard work

everybody knows you tried

everybody knows it’s alright

you get some right, you get some wrong

although tiring, there will be days to smile

when you fall down, when you get up

although tiring, there will be days to smile

eventually a day to smile will come

if it’s a separation, just let her go

she might show lying tears

maybe it wasn’t destiny

people who have to go, just go

sure being next to them, it might happen...oh

being tired right now is an evidence of your love

everybody knows you tried

everybody knows it’s alright

you get some right, you get some wrong

although tiring, there will be days to smile

when you fall down, when you get up

although tiring, there will be days to smile

eventually a day to smile will come

the past is the past...is the past

previous memories

it’s the past

the long painful days

the past is the past...is the past

the days to forget you

everybody wins sometimes

everybody knows you lose some

you get some right, you get some wrong

although tiring, there will be days to smile

when you fall down, when you get up

although tiring there will be days to smile

eventually a day to smile will come

eventually a day to smile will come

We are Warriors, Fighting Our Own Battles.

life isn't easy, is it?  there may be moments when you slip through situations with ease, but there are also times when things seem a little too tough to handle.  "when the going gets tough, the tough gets going."  you've heard of this saying, haven't you?  so, let's hold on to it at times when challenges seem to be our faithful companions.  hard times come and go, but how we react to them is what matters more than the difficulties themselves.

problems may come to your door out of the blue, and people may annoy you (yes, this is sadly unavoidable).  just don't give in!  be strong inside.  you can't always make things go your way and you might not always meet pleasant people.  as long as you have the best intentions in whatever you do, you'll see better days ahead.

sometimes, you can't help but to feel down due to whatever reasons.  it's okay to feel a little down at times but don't stay down for long.  it's not worth it.  it's just not worth it.  God's right there watching over you.  He believes in you and knows that you're capable of going through each day.  keep asking for His guidance and blessing.  you'll be okay.  you're a warrior!

yup, it has been a crazy semester.

30-11-2011:

there was a blackout as i was diligently doing my assignment.  it turned out that the electricity cable at our house was too old and couldn't function anymore.  the workers from SESCO (Sarawak Electricity Supply Corporation) came over to change the cable.  everything went back to normal at 1:00 in the morning.  so, my work was delayed because of that.
