Please, no clashes~

i logged on to my university's e-student site again to re-organise my schedule for this new semester.  it seems that this semester will be my most packed semester so far.  i'm taking 2 elective courses this semester.  the ones i've registered for are Language and Society, and Japanese Language Level 2.  last semester, i took Japanese Language Level 1.  it was OK but the final exam was a little nerve-wracking to me, for one reason - there was this comprehension section, where a one-page (..almost) text was given, and we needed to read the text in order to answer some multiple choice questions.  the tricky part was that EVERYTHING was typed in Japanese writing (just hiragana and katakana, though).  for a non-native Japanese Language speaker/ reader like me, just reading the text could take quite a while.  reading all of the choices of answers (A, B, C, D) was another thing.  it was kind of fun, though. :)

dah..sik mok gik bingung2 pikir pasal jadual kelas tok. mudah2an sikda tukar nok drastik gilak. susah2 atur, tauk sik??! k la...serah kpd Tuhan jak...semoga pengajian semester baru tok berjalan dgn lancar.  mun ada halangan pun, bawa bertenang. ^^v

see? agak packed, kan?  apa2 pun, hadapi dgn senyuman...

dah la...adik ku dari tadik ngajak sambung nangga drama.  'Tatta Hitotsu no Koi (My Only Love)', starring Kamenashi Kazuya~  kelak post blog gik. ;)

A Proud B2UTY

i was browsing through some videos of MR-removed live K-pop performances on YouTube. then, i thought of re-browsing BEAST's previous MR-removed performances. [p/s: MR-removed means that a portion of the pre-recorded background music is toned down, so the audibility the live vocals is elevated. through MR-removed audios or videos, you can hear more clearly how well (or badly) the singers sing live.] don't be so critical, though. some songs require them to dance and move around actively, so it should be a little tougher for them to be perfectly perfect in their vocal control.

*newsflash*
BEAST (a.k.a. B2ST) is my favourite K-pop group. the official name for BEAST's fanclub is B2UTY (pronounced as 'beauty').

it's a sad but true fact that some people claim that K-pop artistes have become a phenomenon MERELY because of their mesmerisingly charming looks, and not so much because of their talents or capabilities. =.= now, i'm not completely denying the fact that K-pop idols have their own special charm when it comes to their appearances. however, it's more than their outward lovability (is that even an existing English word? IDK.) that true K-pop fans are attracted to, it's also their skills, talents, and personalities. you can freely choose to believe it or not, but that's how it is to me. they're so much more than 'pretty faces'. give them a chance if you haven't already.

so, here are some of BEAST's MR-removed videos. the original videos are included too, so you can enjoy the whole songs. :)

'Bad Girl'
--- it's their debut song from their 1st mini album, 'B2ST is the Best'. this was their very first time performing live on stage for a music show as an official group, back in October 2009. aww...their debut stage~ ^^

so...what do you think? :D
i think the 6 members of BEAST are nothing less than amazing.  they've been working so hard.  we love them for who they are.  i'll post about this group again when their 2nd anniversary comes around in about a month time.

Smell is the 4th Dimension

when you purchase a ticket to a 4-dimensional movie, you won't only be given a pair of 3D glasses as you enter the movie theater, but also a card. an aroma-scope card, to be exact.

the card (front and back)

during the course of the movie, a number will be flashed on the screen when it's time for the audience to smell what's in the movie. you just have to scratch the number on the card and smell it. it can get pretty challenging at first because of the dark surrounding but you'll get used to it.

my thoughts?~
well...it's not very convenient especially when you want to focus on the screen. but then again, maybe it's because i'm not very familiar with it yet. it's a good effort to allow movie-goers to be more into the movie by making use of their sense of smell as well.

went to watch 'Spy Kids 4 (4D)' with my sisters

Dreamed of you last night..

어젯밤 꿈..
현실이 아니지만, 난 너 을 보고 흥분했다. 지금도 내 맘을 몰라 넌. 눈을 여십시오 바보야!
느낌이 없던 일로하기 위해 하나님을 묻고 싶어...그것은 임시 있어야면.
너 이 근처에 있으면 날 웃게 만드는 주셔서 감사합니다.




i'll see you again.

p/s: sorry for my broken Korean. still learning. ;)

Feverish Yesterday

heyyy....how's everybody doing? everything's cool, right?

i had a fever last night. but only for that night till early in the morning.

here's the story...
i started feeling light-headed yesterday afternoon. nang pusing2 eh palak. so, i took a nap. after that nap, i felt a little better but the headache was still there, not completely gone. i watched BEAST's 'Genesis of B2ST' DVD & Westlife's 'The Karaoke Collection' DVD to keep myself occupied in the evening. gosh i love those groups! oh, i also watched the trailer of 'Paranormal Activity 3' with my sisters & cousin. just the trailer, but i was too much of a chicken to watch it alone. haha.. can't wait for the movie to come out here, though. mok ikut nanga sik? ju la...skali skala menakutkan diri. dui...dah out of topic aih.

i watched Hell's Kitchen, DC Cupcakes 2, & Masterchef Australia Masterclass on TV. wait...now i realise that they're all food-related reality shows! dah la senang lapar malam2. hehe.. as midnight came along, i started to feel weak & uncomfortable. i had a glass of warm water (& toasts & red bean bun) & rested at the couch while continuing to watch TV. serius..! i wasn't feeling well. so, i turned off everything downstairs & went upstairs to my room. oh, everyone else at home was already asleep hours earlier. i laid down for about an hour but couldn't sleep. i was feeling uneasy. so, i went downstairs to get some Panadol. i eventually fell asleep. when i woke up today, i felt better. :)


take care, people! & don't take up medicine unless necessary. or else, it won't work when you really need it.

Potential Wedding/ Anniversary Songs

don't get me wrong here. i'm not getting married soon or anything like that. (right?? haha...sott!) it's just that i came across a song that is purely beautiful & randomly thought "hmm...this would make a good wedding song.". then, i tried to think of songs i've already known that would make great wedding songs (or just songs for any love-filled moments).

so, i've come up with this list of songs, which are my personal favourites:


-- 'I'll Be Loving You Forever' by Westlife --


chorus:
"i'll be loving you forever.. deep inside my heart you'll leave me never.. even if you took my heart.. and tore it apart.. i would love you still forever.."


-- 'You're Still the One' by Shania Twain --


chorus:
"you're still the one i run to.. the one that i belong to.. you're still the one i want for life.. you're still the one that i love.. the only one i dream of.. you're still the one i kiss goodnight.."


-- 'Amazed' by Lonestar --


chorus:
"i don't know how you do what you do.. i'm so in love with you.. it just keeps getting better.. i wanna spend the rest of my life.. with you by my side.. forever and ever.. every little thing that you do.. baby i'm amazed by you.."


-- 'Stuck in My Heart' by C21 --


chorus:
"you are stuck in my heart.. and we can go anywhere.. whatever the reason.. you are so stuck in my heart.. like counting a million stars.. for that many reasons you are.."


-- 'When You Look Me in the Eyes' by Jonas Brothers --


chorus:
"when you look me in the eyes.. and tell me that you love me.. everything's alright.. when you're right here by my side.. when you look me in the eyes.. i catch a glimpse of heaven.. i find my paradise.. when you look me in the eyes.."


-- 'When You Tell Me that You Love Me' by Diana Ross & Westlife --


chorus:
"and baby.. every time you touch me.. i become a hero.. i'll make you safe no matter you are.. and bring you.. everything you ask for.. nothing is above me.. i'm shining like a candle in the dark.. when you tell me that you love me.."


now, aren't those songs just lovely~? ada gik ka? share2 la k. peace & love~

- ENGLISH TRANSLATION -

don't do this
baby you don't know
you still don't know my heart

don’t stop
we don’t have time now
you don’t know
my feeling for you just keeps growing

hundreds of times a day
i think about you but you don’t know
how can you not know my heart
what if you have to
i must confess

if i step closer, you’ll step back
stand next to me a little closer
close to me so i can’t let go
i want to show you my heart

how can you be so foolish
many times i’ve given you hints
you still don’t know my heart
i’m always saying this but how can you not know

i get nervous
every time i think about you
you don’t know
my feeling for you just keeps growing

hundreds of times a day
i think about you
how can you not know my feelings
what if have you to
i must confess

if i step closer, you’ll step back
stand next to me a little closer
close to me so i can’t let go
i want to show you my heart

how can you be so foolish
many times i’ve given you hints
you still don’t know my heart
i’m always saying this but how can you not know

now i can’t sleep everyday
turn around and look at me
i’m going to go closer
you’re worthy for my love

but you still don’t know ~oh ~oh

how can you be so foolish
many times i’ve given you hints
you still don’t know my heart
i’m always saying this but how can you not know




i LOVE this song. i love the group too. they're A Pink from A CUBE Entertainment, a sister agency of CUBE Entertainment. remember CUBE, my favourite South Korean talent agency? ^^ so, it's kind of natural for me to have the tendency to be supportive of groups or solo acts that come from CUBE & A CUBE.

oh BTW, this song pretty much describes how i'm feeling right now.
