Review: AFTER SCHOOL - First Love

Aha! I should not calling this a review...

I should call this obsessively stating how awesome After School is!!

The moment this video was released, I quietly opened the Youtube, and let the video buffered and waited for my lunchtime (sobsss!!) to actually view the   video.

First impression the minute the video started?? I AM LOVING EVERY SINGLE SECOND OF IT!!! Both video and song!!! Way much better than Flashback comeback (where I loving the MV so much but not the song. I have to play the song several times to actually liking it).

I am sooo majorly impress with my girls. They never failed to impress me. From drums, to tap dance and now...pole dance..while singing ok! It is hard. Look at their bruised from 6 month of training. I feels like crying!!

You can view the full stories here and here.

Favourite Parts of The Video

First is the the sexy hip-swaying choreographies. I'm seriously could not get my eyes off the girls, let alone the Playboyz out there. They must have 'suffer' a lot! Hihi.

Second part is towards the ending where my main bias (JungAh unnie) and my second bias, Kaeun performed solo pole dances (ok, I really don't know how to describe this, sorry!). 

Jung Ah

My main bias is beautiful and angelic looking as usual... Ok well, not that angelic when she appeared semi-nude/topless. I have no qualms about it. In fact, I'm enjoying it (in a non-sexual way, I must stress it) and kinda shock my JungAngel is brave enough to do that.

Looking angelic...

Gawk!!! There she goes! O_O ..I just don't understand how she can look angelic anddddd sexy at the same time. That's it, she must be an X-Men.. With power of seduction..

Kaeun

My second bias. I'm loving how her part is growing. She getting more lines and she in the main star (obviously) of the pole dancing in this clip. Can you see how many scenes she gets for pole dancing? Let alone she's having the pole to herself. Without sharing?? I love her sweet sugary voice. 

E-Young

I am super impress with her! No wonder she is my fellow Playgirlz main bias. She truly looks like a living doll here!! And the way she plays with the pole. Enough said. Full stop. She is just amazing.

The rest

I'm sorry. I just can't comment on every members. If I did, it will ended up like I'm sitting for SPM essay exam here (and I don't mind if the question asked me to explain the history of After School) They're just as awesome as they always be. Too beautiful that it can be considered a sin. Never fail to make other girls brimming with jealously. Loving and hating them at the same time.

And I am seriously missing Lizzy here. Please take care of yourself and please get well soon so that I can see all 8 of my girls perform together.

Oh! I'm sooo loving Jooyeon's outfit in this clip. And no, a dwarf like myself can never pull this look.

As a conclusion, I AM THOROUGHLY AMAZE with my girls. They managed to strip off 'dirty' from pole dancing and turn it into something artistic. (Yes my dear, I use to think pole dancing is dirty). The anticipation of waiting for the comeback worth every minute of it. It was like starving for months and suddenly somebody come put a plate of hot rice with soy sauce, fried fish and scrambled egg mixed together (sorry for sounding like I'm describing cat food, but this is my comfort food).

As compare to SISTAR - Give It To Me??

Here, I'm being honest and fair. Not because I'm a Playgirlz. First, I respect Sistar (and I'm in love with Bora) and their recent comebacks (Alone, Loving You and Gone, Not Around Any Longer) did have place in my heart (and my player). I'm loving those songs the moment I hear them. 2nd point, I'm kinda disappointed with After School Flashback comeback. 3rd point is, they're swapping producers for recent comeback. And honestly, Sistar teaser MV looks more appealing that After School's. 

So when Sistar released their official MV, which is 2 days earlier, I've restraint myself from listening to it as I want to compare them with After School comeback song. I wanted to know, which songs I will have the indescribable feeling for (it could be for both) and the need to obsessively repeating the song over and over and over again.

And my feeling and obsessiveness go to After School's First Love. Even though tempo sounds a bit like Sistar's Gone, Not Around Any Longer, but I'm dare saying First Love is much more better. I'm not saying Sistar's Give It To Me is a flop. The song and choreography is nice, really (and Bora looking awesome as ever), but the feeling is just not there. 

I'm seriously hoping After School gets the recognition they deserved.

How to help them? You can follow the steps here and here.

All hail After School.





                        

Beautiful Kahi

Well, I'm supposed to blog about unboxing my B.A.P album but somehow my granny-self forgot to transfer the pictures from my phone to my laptop.. Now, I ended up with nothing to write.. Padan muka.. *nyeh nyeh*

Taken from Kahi's instagram , I'm sooo mesmerize with her latest picture. She's so beautiful with that prominent dimples. How I wish she will make her solo comeback asap...

I JUST LOVE HER. *fullstop*

Unboxing: After School 1st Album New Schoolgirl

Since I love to babble so much, I've decided to split my intros accordingly before it looks like a 350 words essay needs to be submitted to your English teacher  -_-""

Intro 1 : It is kind of  hard to find people doing their review/unboxing the album through pictures. Most of them used videos. Yes, video is easier, but being at my place where your company blocks Youtube and you yourself sucks at making video, picture reviews are the most welcome ^^. So I've decided to join the small bandwagon of people who did their reviews using pictures. It was a lame excuse to avoid doing video review… Hahaha.. I can’t help it.. I’m awkward..but adorable (and deluded too >_<)

Intro 2: I considered this album rare because it was so hard to find it. Most the blog shops I've visited (and trusted) are no longer selling this album.

Album : After School 1^st Album – New Schoolgirl

Weight: ~200g

Description

1. Around 18 pages of colored photobook front to back

2. No photocard and poster

3. Price: RM39.90 (from Speedy Video)

4.Importantly, this album is Korean Version.

The Size

Hooo yeah.. The size of the album is quite mind-boggling.. It was skimpy that I thought this album is a Malaysia version. But no, that is the real deal. 

Thickness: ~0.6cm

Length: ~20cm

Width: ~16cm

The Inside

The Photobook

Some of it..Not all

I was breathing hard and super excited when I saw this album hiding in a small little corner in Speedy Video.Being a Playgirlz, it was like finding a chest full with treasures!! And the price is cheaper.. See, happiness doubles up!! I was ‘goat smiling’ a.k.a senyum kambing when the album is finally mine and I earned ‘tsk tsk tsk’ and a headshake from my colleague.. Hahaha.. Duhhh~ You’ll never understand..

So now I wonder, if I really submit this to an English teacher, will I get an A?? O_o…Ok fine forget it..

                        

Self-reflecting

Things have been going wrong for me..

The relationship, study, financial, career and physical.

The dreams, the goals, the ambition are slowly slipping away from my grasp.

I'm envious, looking at others.

I'm started to feels like a loser..  

But I'm not here to point fingers. 

Because these failures were nobody's fault, except mine..

So instead of weeping like I'm going to the Korean drama casting, I must do a self-reflect. 

Hope things are getting better in future because no, I will never give up. AMIN~




                       

My Journey on Becoming A Playgirlz

p/s: It is not the promiscous playgirl, it is the After School fandom name. Better clarify first before my poor mom suffer from a heart attack thinking her daughter is the actual playgirl ;p

I was watching a rerun episode of Inkigayo yesterday where After School still promoting Flashback. And I still have the same goosebumps attack as when I first watched their comeback. And then, I feel proud calling myself a Playgirlz.I feel proud watching After School performing on stage.

I found myself reminiscing the moments when I acknowledge their existence, taking interest in them, memorizing all members, humming to their songs, called myself a fan and finally choosing my bias.

2010: Getting To Know After School

1. I was introduced to k-pop.

2. Crazy over Super Junior.

I was watching Star Dance Battle at that time and was rooting for Suju. While waiting, I watched others. That time, AS was against SNSD. I still remember how amazed I am watching their movements and started shooting lotsa questions to my friends who are much more familiar with k-pop. Trust me, I only knew Suju, SNSD and DBSK. T____T

Since AS is not as famous as SNSD, my friends knew so little about them except Uee since she is once part of WGM. 

Watching the dance, I went like "OMG OMG OMG!!"..They are really good, creative and powerful especially Kahi..She is just....sexy..

Then, unsatisfied, I look for more After School dance videos. Major salute to them, they were really good in dancing. And I started thinking, why don't I check their songs and videos too.. 
Here, at this very moment, I started my journey alone as most of my k-pop loving friends are not interested in knowing After School. 

Next, I've checked their latest single at that time, Bang!. Honestly, Bang! does not leave any significant affect on me. The song was so-so. Not something that I would listen again. But, I kept coming back watching their MV, because... 
1. I really really like the girls' images
2.Their dance routine (because I keep checking their live perf)
2. UEE (yes, at that time I think UEE is the most beautiful)
3. Bekah alluring gaze (I wrote about it here)
4. Raina's adlib

The journey continues when I decided to know and memorize every members and I've started digging back their past songs and MV. Here, where I started to fall for Jungah.

2011: From Interested to Love and Meeting a fellow Playgirlz

Here, I've declared myself a Playgirlz as keep updating myself with their latest news, comebacks, variety shows and pictures. In other word, I've become obsessed. I started to forget Suju. :(

 I started blogging about my love to them and here, my fellow Playgirlz and blogging buddy, Vee left a comment on my chatbox "All hail After School".. I've become super excited!! Yes! A living Playgirlz!! Trust me, being at my place, knowing another Playgirlz/Boyz, will excites you.

But things started to look bleak when they announced that Bekah is graduating. At first, I 'thought' I can accept this graduation and admision concept. But when one of your bias is 'actually' graduating, it hurts so much that I thought:
1. Am I going to remain being a Playgirlz?
2. How am I to accept other rapper except Bekah?

I even feel a wee bit down when I heard Bekah's part was being taken over by others. I felt empty, really. As if something is missing, not right.
But because I'm still crazy over Jungah and the rest of the girls because they are extremely gorgeous, I still jumping up and down everytime I watched their performances and videos!! Their dances excite me. Their songs haunting my ears. I keep humming them.

2012: I'm a TRUE Playgirlz

Again, I received another bad news. Kahi is graduating. AS dancing backbone is graduating! And she is my 3rd bias. What will become of After School? One of the reason After School is known is because of the Kahi's dancing abilities. And of course UEE.. Is this the end for After School? 

I pray very hard that it is not. They are talented and they deserve the limelight. Here I've decided, with or without Kahi, I will become hardcore Playgirlz. I will support them.
Surprisingly, I was super duper impressed with After School's comeback and I did not miss Kahi one bit. I even despise those who laments "It is not the same without Kahi" bla bla bla.. Get over it! Love AS as one. Kahi is my blogging buddy main bias and she is not affected that much. She even managed to find herself a new bias (E-Young).
I know, one day, Jungah will graduated, because deep in my heart, I want her to have a solo career as it is her dream to become a performer. That's why you never see her pursuing other activities like acting. 

And I've started going gaga over new AS member, Kaeun. Vee is right, it does helps when you have more than one bias.

Here also, I've started rooting for Orange Caramel. Usually, I despise cutesy concept, but because of AS, I've started liking OC. 

This is what I meant when I say I love AS as one. Cutesy or sexy, I heart them. Every single member.
And I'm never bored with Flashback. :)

Be Careful 2

Remember my story here??

Well two days ago, my colleague, alone in the shop during her morning shift, was a bit unlucky as she lost her Xperia phone.

That time she was attending an innocent male customer when a Malay male came in and wandered around and went out. The very next minute, she found that the phone that she had partially hidden between the books, has been taken. In just a mere minute!!

 

Angry, she called her phone almost immediately and that fool actually answered the call.

I think he was having trouble unlocking the phone at that time but never cross my mind that he will actually answered the call.

My colleague treaten him and asked him to bring back the phone to her right now.

Well, of course he is not bringing back the phone back. In 5 minutes, the phone was shut off. I figured he already found the way.

 

So the lesson here:

1. Please please please be careful, this may sound like a small matter but what if this involve something bigger like your life? Better safe than sorry. Better be paranoid than 'terkena'..

2.If you own an android phone, better download an app that will detect the location of your phone through the net.

 

Just for the sake of sharing.



Review: SKARF Oh! Dance

I was watching Inkigayo when this group made their debut with Oh! Dance... The first thing I noticed are their awkwardness and lack of strong vocal. But the song is so light and fresh, I can't get them out of my head. I keep humming the "oh oh ooooh oh" part. And I'm kinda hooked with their simple choreography. And I googled their MV! Haha.. Not a strong debut but the song is catchy enough to catch my attention. And both Singaporeans catched my eyes too..Oh, I don't like their cutesy image. :(

Be Careful~

Ini kisah benar untuk dikongsi... 

Hari ni aku nyaris-nyaris kena rompak.

 Dalam pukul 12 tengahari macam tu, aku sedang brunch. Yela lapa gile kot, takleh tahan.

Time tu aku tengah charge handphone aku.

Walaupun bukan iPhone, tapi kalau jual, memang ada harga la..

Salah aku, charge hp, letak dalam laci terbuka.

Then, ada satu lelaki cina masuk (bukan racist ok), tanya macam-macam soalan tentang product. Dia try la, itu la, ini la.

Dengan kata lain, dia nak bagi aku busy.

Allah swt nak tolong, aku terbagi tumpah cream sangat banyak atas tangan dia.

Dah krim tumpah, mesti la kena bagi tisu lap kan? Takkan nak suruh dia jilat sampai licin? Ingat tu whip cream ke?

Aku toleh je nak ambil tisu, tengok ada sorang lagi lelaki cina ada belakang kaunter, lagi sikit je nak sampai ke cash drawer. 

*buat apa belakang kaunter tu cik abang? Nak curi makan nasi ai kerrr?*

Dia terkejut tengok aku tetiba toleh, terus dia berpura-pura tanya tentang produk and cepat-cepat keluar kedai.

Aku tak berani nak tunjuk hebat sangat soal- siasat, bajet Sarjan Misai, sebab aku sorang je yang jaga kedai. 

Karang dia panggil geng-geng serang hendap masa kat parking kereta, naya.

Handphone aku, dari cover terbuka, dah tertutup.

Aku pasti cover tu terbuka sebab aku tengah main game *ok kantoi main game masa kerja* sambil makan masa cina tu masuk.

Maknanya kalau aku terleka seminit lagi, memang lesap la handphone aku.

And kalau aku terleka 5 minit lagi, mungkin duit kaunter pun akan hilang.

Nauzubillah..

Cina  yang first tadi, terus jadi kurang friendly, tapi still tanya soalan lagi, (mungkin nak cuba lagi), tapi mata aku dah macam salamander, sikit- sikit tengok kaunter.

Dia give up, and keluar.

Mungkin tak ramai yang akan duduk di situasi yang sama macam aku, tapi pengajaran di sini, jangan terleka dan sentiasa berjaga-jaga. Jangan tertipu dengan penampilan orang lain. Serious, cina kedua yang masuk dalam kaunter rupa macam bapak mithali.

Just be carefull guys....

A Letter To My Readers (Attn: Vee)

Dear readers,

 

*Bajet Mat Salleh* I'm so sorry I'm unable to update my blog as I'm on Raya holiday for a week *and no time for internet* and the moment I'm back to work, my company is organizing an event which I'm even unable to sit down and eat . I eat berjalan..haha..no lah..I eat 2 spoons, do work, eat 2 more spoons and work..and the cycle continued for 3 days. And today, I will draft one raya entry. Nak show off baju raya yang biasa-biasa je. Kikiki..

 

 

Dear Vee (because apparently she is my loyal reader),

 

I've missed out most of your updates and PLEDIS updates. T___T..I will try my best to cover everything starting today because yours is the first site I

*Sedar diri ini Melayu*..Tahniah kerana berjaya membela 2 kucing sekarang. Eh? Sup Peting Yue tu, Melayu boleh makan ke? I mean, bukan la sup dibuat dari your 'Peting Yue' tu..Hahaha..Sekarang sudah ada tambahan 9 nyawa, boleh la hari-hari menonton kekacakan Nu'est dan kecantikan After School.. Hehehe..

So Full of Myself Episode 6: Fasting Month

I've kind of on temporary hiatus from blogging world for a while.

Fasting sure zaps my energy very fast even though I'm taking Blacksmore's Executive B daily.

I have to juggle my work and studies at the same time. My study due date is nearing and I have to finish it a.s.a.p...

And my August life does not really agrees with me.

Apart hectic schedule, I've been facing some problems/drama *ekekeke*..

These episodes did sucked all my mood.

But today, instead of more weeping and self-destructing thoughts, I've decided to move on and make myself happier. :)

So please look forward for happier Anne-J

So please enjoy my 'buka puasa' meals.

I have this nasty feeling that I'm going to gain more weight during Ramadhan instead of losing some. Tsk tsk tsk...

So Full of Myself Episode 5 - It's Ryohei Kato Again~

When I first look up for Ryohei Kato's information and obviously pictures of him 5 days ago, there were near zero info and pics on him..

Now today, I tried to look again and hooowoooowwwoo!!!

He is all over Tumblr.. There is a Wikipedia entry on him (not that much but that is not the main point)..

They even found his Twitter account and Facebook page!! *Thank God,hihihi..Now I can stalk him even more*

 

How on earth did I noticed about this sudden stardom of Ryohei Kato?? I'm no famous blogger, I believe I'm among the first to blog about him and in mere 4 days, this is the view on my post regarding Ryohei Kato.

600++ views!! *facepalm!*

I've followed him on Twitter..Hahahaha..Obviously I understand absolutely nothing. Time to learn some Japanese words! Hehehe..

Obviously, he casted the same effect on me on the other girls as well. We're enchanted!! Someone even suggested to start a fandom! i could not agree more! Hahaha...

Here are more pictures of him which I jacked from the Tumblr.

They even compare him with a celeb (Ikeoka Ryousuke)..Told ya!
