So Full Of Myself Episode 1 - My Wishlist

New Phone

At first, I'm not really bothered about the Android thingie or iPhone thingie because I thought I don't need it. Well, recently, a series of unfortunate events happened, I thing I need myself an Android phone. Tapi tak leh cakap kuat-kuat, nanti hanphone yang sediakala ni dengar, merajuk, terus rosak (contoh disini)..Taknaak..sayang owh handphone ni walaupun bukan android. Sangat berbakti. Gambar-gambar semua yang aku tangkap tu pakai si Dia la.

Sony Experia S. Aku dan Sony tak dapat dipisahkan. Loving the design!

Coach Handbag

I'm aiming the latest 2012 collection at the moment. The Kristin Leather Round Satchel. But since it will be a quite a while for me to actually buy a Coach handbag for real, I may change my preference in future. Well, the trends come and go. Haha..

Mungkinkah akan kelihatan seperti Gwyneth Paltrow kalau memakai beg ni?? @__@

Home

My ultimate goal. Owning my own home sweet home. Amin~

Car

I'm using my dad's old car to get around. I don't think that car will last forever. Somehow, will need a change. Juga tak boleh cakap kuat-kuat, nanti dia merajuk. Macam mana aku nak gi keje?? T_T

Travelling

First destination will be Korea. The home of my many many jejaka kacak. Belum apa-apa, niat dah terpesong, sebab tu Allah tak izinkan lagi pergi melancong. @__@

Nak tengok ni...

Eh?? Bukan..salah upload..hahaha.. *kantoi!*

Nak tengok ni...

Jeju Island

Sungguh!! *tapi macam nak pegi stalk SuJu dengan Nu'est jugak la*

Teeth Correction

Yessss..I do yearn for a big toothy smile. :)

Teringin taw nak senyum menawan macam ni..Senang nak goda laki aku!

A Laptop

Currently also using dad's netbook. Must buy my own laptop.

Cantik kan?? Nak color purple tu....

Nu'est Earphone Jack Plug

I MUST HAVE ONE.. *kyaaaaaaaaaa!*

Adakah bermaksud saya perlu dapatkan iPhone juga??Hahahaha.. @__@

JR Contact Lenses

The most beautiful blue-gray lenses I ever see so far. I want one. And this is first time I'm referring a beauty tip from a guy. Good job JR!

All About After School : Jungah's Hairstyle

I was browsing afterschooldaze@wordpress 2 days ago when I realized something.
Jungah is sporting a new hairdo. She has bangs now.

During live perf at Green Grove Festival 20120722

There is one thing for sure, I HATE it. She looks like ahjumma (makcik/aunty). What was she thinking? *or what was her hairstylist thinking?* @__@

I'm sure most us Jung-Ah eonnie's fans will agree. Judge it yourself.

Here is a compilation of her past hairstyles with bangs/fringes on. :(

The biggest picture is the latest one. She looks older than she supposed to be.

Here is the compilation of her past hairstyles that I think suits her extremely well.

Long, short, brunette or blonde, she rocks them all without the ahjumma-looking fringes. She looks like a sexy angel *Is that a sin?Saying sexy and angel in one sentences? ;p* She looks mature (not in ahjumma ways), drop dead gorgeous and serene. Those hairstyles enhance all her beauty features.

I think she also looks great with a side-swept bangs. Depends on the main hairstyle.

The most disastrous hairstyle

Haish! If she is my biological sister, I might considered sueing the hairstylist and giving a lecture to her myself as well for agreeing to this style!! Thank God she is blesses with beauty, if not, even Quasimodo from The Hunchback of Notredame looks better!! :(

K-Pop Songs That I Like (One Time Love)

The criteria's for this list are:

1. I'm not their fan

2. The songs are in my MP3 player *meaning that I like them so much I quickly loaded them into my player* 

3. The love just ended there :( 

*only one song/group@artist*

Block B Nanrina (Go Crazy)

Despite of the controversies surrounding them, I still love this song. It was catchy and fun. And I particularly enjoyed the 'orang utan' dance and this particularly sexy move...

" I don't know I don't know I don't know but I'm hot hot "

FT Island Severely

I'm not really a fan of a band. I always prefer dancing groups but I'm amazed at Hongki's voice nevertheless. So when my friend introduced me to this MV, kept saying "it was sad, it was sad", so I watched it just to entertain him. Surprisingly, the song itself is touching. I can feel my emotions building up listening to this song. As for the plot, it was sad indeed but I already watched the similar *and much more tragic* plot in Jennifer Love Hewitt 2004's movie called If Only. But, this is still a great song. And the only song from FT Island I've listened over and over again so far.

Big Bang - Fantastic Baby

Yes yes yes. Stop jeering at me. Hahaha.. I'm not a fan of Big Bang. But I do respect them. Since my friends are hyping about them, I've decided to give it a try. That time. they're releasing Fantastic Baby. The MV is sooooo unique and weird and new to me that I keep replaying it. The song itself is just catchy and earned a spot in my player.

I think T.O.P looks smexy in this clip :)

2NE1 - I Am The Best

Yes..again..I'm also not a fan of 2NE1. I never dig autotune. Not really my cup of tea.  But both the repetitive lyrics and song are so catchy and addictive, I found myself humming them.

"Naega jeil jal naga"

TVXQ - Mirotic

Despite my friends are crazy over them, this is THE ONLY song I've listened from TVXQ. It is even an old song. Their latest songs are great but not catchy  enough for me to be put into my player.

I think they're just damn sexy in this clip. ;p

Oh! Changmin's voice is powerful!

T-Ara feat Supernova - TTL (Time To Love)

First time listening to this song, I immediately fell in love with it. Both versions of the song and both of them are in my player. Hahaha.. But that was all. 

G.Na - I'll Back Off So You Can Live Better

I listened to it for the first time on Hitz.fm while I was driving.The title is quite mouthful and have so many versions that I did not know which one is right. Haha.. This is the only song from G.Na that I can listen to. The rest are ok but not something that I can repetitively listen to everyday.

Credit: artsyfutsy

And no, I didn't come to watch this video because of Doojoon because I'm not familiar with Beast at that time when I look up for this clip *later only knew that he is Doojoon* hahaha..

ZE:A Mazeltov

The title is weird. The song is simply catchy and addictive. And I remembered watching the clip on tv and look up for them the very next day.

I always chuckled when I come across this part of the lyrics:

" Mazeltov, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday"

It was like teaching the kids about the days in a week. Haha..

And until now, I didn't know what Mazeltov means. @__@

JQT - No Need To Know

I love this song too much when I listened to it during watching a fanmade video about Jongkey *only a partial of it @__@*. I had troubles looking for the information of the song such as the group's name etc as they're underrated. 

Dal Shabet Hit U

I snorted my Coke out when I watched to the diabetes-inducing Bling Bling video. Too much cuteness. But when I listened to Hit U, I'm surprised. It was ok. But I never like their video. 

MBLAQ - Monalisa

As much as I love Lee Joon *because he is funny and a hottie*, this is the only song from MBLAQ I can actually listen to everyday. The rest are just "naaaah.."

How about you guys??

This is MY list so preferences are very subjective. Some of you may not agree with it and I have no absolute intention to hurt any of these group's fans. Some of you might hate Super Junior and Nu' est but I don't mind. :) This is again, a very subjective matter.

Happy Birthday Nu'est Baekho

Hahaha..

My Nu'est first love and first bias...

White tiger Baekho..

I fell in love with him during the After School's Play Ur Love clip..

He looks so pure and white, I feels like pinching him..

Eye-smiled prince has turned 18 years old today..

(17 years old internationally)

And making me feels very very old, personally.. @__@

Saengil chukha hamnida Baekho-sshi..

Please be happy and cheeky always..

Opinion Piece: Non K-pop Fan on Nu'est

This is an opinion piece requested by admin, Anne Jalil. I shall be nameless and she asked me to write a piece on Nu'est as she is excited with my interest on Nu'est. Before I started, let me clarify a few things. This is a on-the-surface piece. I did not do research etc. I just write what I can think is an honest brief opinion and forgive me if this piece does not meet your expectation. Normally, I'm a Korean Pop hater. I'm a typical man who only listens to alternative songs, ballads,rocks, hip-hops and sometimes pop but definitely not k-pop. I despise the concept and I think they're overrated and talentless. The evil marketing of promoting good-looking guys and girls with zero talents. Sugar-loaded girl groups, the trying-to-hard cute expressions and men wearing makeups which make them look like queers. And I thinks bro-mance is a sin.

But I will give credits to Big Bang and 2NE1, as they're the real talents for me, the non k-pop fan. But I won't elaborate on these two groups. Everytime admin Anne watched Korean music videos (her usual selections will be the ridiculously too many members Super Junior and After School and *Infinity-I don't remember)

My usual comments will be:

"That guy used too much makeups"

"Dah macam pondan tengok"

(translate: he looks like a queer)

"Tukar tengok benda lain boleh tak?"

(Can we watch something else?)

"Can you stop playing these songs?"

I think she is really angry and boiling listening to these.She got fed up and I also got fed up and she stop watching them in front of me.Now one day, I caught her watching 1 video clip telling about school's bullies. My eyes caught on one female looking member (now I know his name is Ren). Honestly, I was a bit smitten and asked her if this is a mixed group. She said no. That 'girl' is actually a real boy. I'm shocked. I saw Korean queer looking guys but never a girl looking guy (*later she showed me one of the Shinee guy). The song, Face really caught my ears and likable. I've secretly downloaded the song and secretly watching their live performances. Sooner or later, I was caught by admin. Instead of laughing and jeering, she asked me why.

Here is my reply:

"Yes, I usually hates looking at guys putting too much makeup. Instead of making them look cool and manly, they look like queers. Now Ren is a different story. That image of his is fresh and new. Instead of looking like a half man, half girl, he looks exactly like a girl. But I can still see his manly manners and physique. Surprisingly he have muscles, he dances like a man, he acts like a man, he sounds like a man*. This is the image I can accept. Because of the entertainment industry, he's bringing the pretty boy image but he is still a boy nevertheless. I can see that in the clip. As for the rest of the members, even though they used makeup,  they're still masculine. Everyone of them. For me, Nu'est nails it. And their songs are good. I can really listen to them without commenting too much."

Their voices are not the best I ever heard. Same thing goes to their dance routines. Or the songs. But I can safely says that I'm bewitched by them. First time, I think there is an ok k-pop group (aside Big Band and 2NE1 as admin is not really fonds of them). What really impressed me is, the fact that they just debuted this year, making them a newbie. But to me, they does not look like an amateur, they look professional enough. This goes by saying, if Nu'est works hard enough, no doubt they will be an international group one day. And I'm shamelessly admitting that Ren is pretty, and JR is very masculine. Kudos to Pledis Entertainment (heck, I even know the company handling them) for the amazing concept and the bold move by imprinting dupsteps in the songs. Nu'est is fresh.

Admin tried to make sure that she is not being bias here, so she showed me another new groups that she also likes, Exo and the *bunny-logo group (I can't remember). I just think they are just a normal korean group. Nothing special but not irritating as well. But a credit to the bunny group. Their songs and dances are powerful, but I'm not enchanted enough. :)

And no, I'm not admin's boyfriend. But I do heard about her partner also liking Nu'est Face. I'm not surprised. Her partner also dislikes K-pop. Just like I did. But I may change my rebellions against k-pop a little bit. They just gained some of my respects. And please forgive my English.

With regards, nameless guy.

_______________________________________________________

Anne's here!

He's hopeless!! Let me clarify a few things also. The sentences with the * symbols.

*Not Infinity, it is Infinite

* The SHINee member he stated is Taemin

*He saw and heard Infinite's Sunjong, he think Sunjong is queer *pondan* =__=  aduih!

* The bunny-logo group is B.A.P

Tsk tsk tsk..

Please do not bash him. It was cool he wants to write for my blog *ok ok I have to bribe him with Venti-sized Starbucks*





Keith, Lawak Kampus and Me

The title is laaame-o    =___=""

When I buy something from Gempak Starz, it will be the mushy-slash-cheesy love comics..Hahaha..

But I love how the artist drew the character's expressions..and it was funny. Not because of the love stories.. (ok ok..comel jugak kisah percintaan budak-budak ni tapi takde kat realiti ok!)

My kononnya-macho brothers, of course la tak layan cerita cenggini,

so they introduced me to Lawak Kampus..

Oh how I loved it so much I quickly started my collections.

This is also a good news for my brothers as they don't need to buy the comics anymore..

Just wait for me to come back from KL..

*jimat duit*

And I think the cartoonist, Keith is quite cute too *with his hat on >__<*

The short comic strips are very funny *sometimes tak masuk akal.hahaha* and good as a very light reading.

Yela sapa nak baca ayat panjang-panjang kasi pening kepala hari-hari..

Aku pun tak boleh.. ;p

Punya la minat sampai sanggup beli yang koleksi punya padahal dah ada yang siri-siri tu, hanya sebab ada tambahan komik yang tak pernah diterbitkan.. Isk isk isk..

Ada separuh di Penang. Adik-adik buat bungkus belacan. Ntah apa jadik la kat komik-komik tu. Adik-adik aku ni bukan pandai jaga buku. Hari tu balik, rasa macam nak luruh gigi-gigi tengok keadaan komik tu. T___T

Teringin sangat nak berjumpa dengan Keith and minta dia sign buku ni..Tak dapat semua, dapat yang koleksi tebal tu pun jadi la..Tapi ntah bila.. :(

Bila dia buat personal appearance saja, mesti aku busy.. pffft!!

Keith <3

Personally, I think Keith done a GREAT job as an local artist. He has won many awards. Kudos to him. He deserved them. His comic strips improved from time to time.

Now, I'm hoping Malay cartoonist like Lambok and Chang (I'm not sure Chang is Malay or not?) from APO? can do such collections too..I will definitely buy them. Their cartoons are EXTREMELY funny. I laughed my teeth and guts out everytime I read APO?..

Review: Nu'est Action Album Review

This is not my opinions or reviews.

This is an honest review that worth sharing..

NU’EST’s name is created from the phrase “Nu Established Style and Tempo.” They proved to be a popular group upon their debut with five handsome members and a forward-thinking concept based around dubstep sounds and complicated choreography. The group pushes these same ideals of their namesake, but tries to be bigger and better with their new ‘Action‘ EP.

Not Over You

The release begins with “Not Over You” which has a great summer feel to it; similar to fellow labelmates Hello Venus’ “Like A Wave”. The dreamy, thumping dance production kicks off the EP on a great note. The electronic guitar strums have a similar sound to the pre-chorus sung by Colby O’Donis on the Akon track he’s featured on, “Beautiful”. (You might also remember BoA jumping on a remix of this track for Akon’s Japanese release of this album). Though it’s not the most striking piece of music, “Not Over You” is definitely a gem with the boys jumping from singing to rapping, as well as layering electronic elements that push the song forward and keep the pace nicely.

Action

Next we have the comeback track “Action” which has a ton of great ideas, but ultimately comes off as disconnected. Pledis Entertainment sometimes nails it with certain forward-thinking music and concepts (After School Red and Blue come to mind). They are clearly trying to do something different with NU’EST too. While debut track “Face” was a breezy, catchy track with an amazingly subtle dubstep breakdown, “Action” goes the opposite route making everything bigger and more aggressive. Unfortunately, the ambitious moves are just simply disconnected and detract from the music.

The intro begins with seven seconds of cinematic horns and strings before abruptly transitioning into the electronic production. The same is done on the bridge going into one of the heaviest dubstep breakdowns (or perhaps the term “brostep” is a better description) in idol K-pop. Once the breakdown is over, the track changes completely by slowing down as lead singer Baekho shows off his belting skills (and we get some glamour poses from Ren). While going into Skrillex territory is a fresh move, the track gave no indication it was going there and only incorporates it for that small section. “Face” introduced its unique dubstep section and then the boys sang the bridge section over it. The breakdown in “Action” feels more like a random way to shock listeners or gain some type of dubstep credibility. Both cinematic and “brostep” elements are found in the opening track “NU, Establish, Style, Tempo” of their debut maxi-single ‘Face’. But those elements were blended better than those in “Action”. This is somewhat concerning especially when “NU, Establish, Style, Tempo” is just supposed to be an attention-grabbing intro.

Sandy

Third track “Sandy” is a cool idea and another remarkable album track. Mostly, it’s a smart move, especially for a rookie group, to dedicate a new song to their fans which will encourage future support. Both of Pledis’ newest groups seem keen on securing and pleasing their fanbases with both Hello Venus and NU’EST launching official fan clubs. “Sandy” is a bouncy, electro-pop track about a proposal that is sure to set the hearts of those fans aflutter. Another nice addition to this EP.

Happy Birthday

“Happy Birthday” finishes things off as a ballad written, produced, and arranged by Jung Yun Seung. The track ultimately doesn’t do much other than offer a change to the electronic elements of the EP. If NU’EST is really all about establishing new tempo and style, I would have expected something other than the usual K-pop ballad. T-ara’s “Don’t Leave” is an excellent atypical ballad and something that I think would have fit better on this EP than “Happy Birthday”. However, this track is better and more memorable than most ballads with the long notes held out at the end of the chorus as the melody changes as highlights. Plus, you can hear it’s a real piano accompanying which is a nice, refreshing touch to the electro-based EP.

Its proving harder and harder for rookie groups to break out, especially this summer when so many established acts are making their comebacks. For NU’EST the ‘Action’ EP should further solidify the boys’ place in K-pop. My advice to NU’EST: Keep doing what you’re doing, but tidy things up a bit before the next comeback.

Reviewer's Rating: (2.89 / 5)  

________________________________________________________________________________

As much as I love Nu'est, I have to agree with the reviewer regarding the

dubsteps being disconnected to the song. It was kinda shocking as we're listening to the song and suddenly a weird dupsteps coming in. It was kind a turn off. But being a fan, I forced myself to accept it. But for others, this will gains more critics. And I'm sorry, I'm not really good in describing a music. :)



As for the rest of the songs, they're great for me! :)

After School’s Jung Ah once dated a man 7 years her junior

It turns out After School‘s Jung Ah is into younger men.

On the July 17th broadcast of SBS ‘Strong Heart‘, After School member Jung Ah revealed her ideal type. “I have a lot of younger dongsengs around me, so I would like a dependable younger man for a boyfriend,” she said.

Fellow group member Lizzy who calmly listened to Jung Ah explain her ideal type then suddenly blurted, “She is an expert when it comes to younger men!”

Despite looking a bit taken aback by Lizzy’s remark, the 29 year old Jung Ah admitted that she once even received a love confession from a young 19 year old.

She then revealed, “I once dated a guy 7 years younger than me,” shocking everyone on set. “As long as he is not a minor, I am open to dating a younger man.”
