Celebrating Seungie Sweetie

i had a lunch meet-up with a few B2UTY friends this afternoon.  KL-B2UTY was having an open house at JC's residence, so Kuching-B2UTY had a sub-event on the same day too.  we talked about BEAST, Hyun Seung (the belated birthday boy), and K-pop.  it was nice.  i hope more K-pop fans will take part in our future gatherings.  come on, you've got nothing to lose! ^-^

for those who don't know yet, i have a Tumblr account dedicated to Seungie~ click the link at your own risk.

Coffee is My Friend

today i woke up a little later than other weekdays.  i just stayed at home, revising my Japanese.  nasib textbook Level 1 agik disimpan.  mun sik, ternganga jak time sensei ajar Level 2 kelak.  dah la besok ada kelas ya.  she asks questions in Japanese Language but occasionally explains in English or Malay Language.  tapi sik la nya guna ayat Bahasa Jepun nok tersangat tinggi levelnya.  gik dapat dipaham.  OK la ya nak? :D

so far, the classes that i've attended are Statistics for Economics and Business, Language and Society, and Japanese Language Level 2.  as mentioned before, i have my day off on Wednesdays (except for one of the coming Wednesdays, whereby i will have to attend a resume-writing class).  i find going to early morning classes rather refreshing, though i feel a little sleepy later in the afternoon.  the part that i hate is having to go through traffic jam on the way to campus.  jalan ke roundabout nok dekat skolah Chung Hwa no. 2 (sik tauk betul sik nombor ya) ya mala jak jam pagi pagi.  biasa la nak.  kadang-kadang lemah nyawa mala nekan brek ngan clutch.  tapi gerak brapa sentimeter jak pun ke depan.  dah 4 bulan sik guna jalan ya bah, jadi mok biasakan diri gik tok. :)

as known by many of my friends and family members, i'm a fan of K-pop.  almost any K-pop-related news or updates can make me feel excited.  you know 2AM?  this all-guy ballad group consists of 4 members.  they're in the same agency as 2PM, Wondergirls, and Miss A - JYP Entertainment.  a documentary/ musical movie about this group will be out in cinemas in Malaysia soon!  finally in Malaysia!  and it's in 3D!  it's called '2AM Show'.  i want to watch it!  when i checked the release date in Malaysia, it's October 13th!!

oh..the title of this post is 'Coffee is My Friend', right?  it's just a statement, indicating that i NEED coffee to make myself less sleepy in order to fruitfully go through the day.

yes, i'm a coffee addict.  but it's just for days when i need to go to classes, or work, or any event.  take this morning as an example.  i didn't drink coffee since i didn't have to attend anything.  after having my lunch, i read my Japanese textbook.  after about an hour, i started to yawn every 3 minutes (lebih kurang la.  sik la cun cun.).  eventually, i gave in and took a nap on the couch. ya jak la. ^^


mok sambung membaca ngan mengulangkaji lok.  semoga hari besok dilalui dengan hati yang penuh kasih-sayang.  haha...ada kaitan ka?  besok packed aih.  tapi at least ada break 10AM-12PM.


by the way, i recently added a background music to my blog.  the song's 'Fiction' by BEAST.

Good Luck, Pris! And Happy Chuseok Day in Advance!

classes will commence tomorrow!  part of me feels hesitant to start this new semester, but another part tells me to suck it up and give it my best shot.  i've decided to agree with the latter part.  demi masa depan bah..  ^^v so, i'll be driving myself to campus every morning and drive back home later at noon or in the afternoon, depending on the day.  i'll be free from classes or activities on Wednesdays.  yay!  bersyukur la kan.

some of the things that are running through my mind right now are:
- "what should i wear on this first week of classes?  formal, semi-formal, or smart casual?"
- "must not forget to submit PK (pemindahan kredit for my Generic courses) form to faculty's office!"
- "where exactly are the locations of my classes?  which floor?  left or right?"
- "will i be able to make it through no matter how tough any of the classes may be?"
- "i can no longer enjoy sleeping in till almost noon since my classes start at 8 in the morning, for 4 days in a week. huhu.."
- "this isn't university-related but...i must remember to keep myself updated with the arrangements for MyB2UTY-Kuching's little get-together this coming Sunday. ^^"
- "oh ya...what am i going to have for lunch in between classes?"

whatever may happen, let's just もっと がんばる よ!


also, it will be Chuseok Day in Korea on September 12th this year.  that's tomorrow, right?  it's like Thanksgiving Day.  click on the hyperlinked words to know more about it. :)

 Happy Chuseok Day!

all the best, dear friends!  God bless~ ♥

just want to share my current desktop wallpaper ;) mengancam!

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. ;)
