No... I do not have insomnia... Wheesung and Craig David does :D
I was quite impressed with Wheesung's version. I actually preferred the video because it really showed him, as opposed to Craig David's, where he kept hiding behind the shadows and let the girl have more than half the video to herself... Is it cos he got fatter and he's shy? :D If only Wheesung had chosen a hotter girl to 'paw' in his video :P
The song is quite catchy... I love the bridge and the chorus. I don't like the starting of the 2nd half cos they mangled it with the big mouthful of lyrics and ruined the fluidity of the song. Otherwise... it would've been a song I could sing along to... now I can only mumble all the verses... Grrr... But on the other hand... I am impressed with the lyrics of the Korean version. Simply adore them. I find them more meaningful than the English version... which sounds like it's been done before...
Watch both videos and decide...
Wheesung's
Thanks to coolsmurf again for posting. I try to get his videos up here cos he manages to get decent subs and he doesn't plaster the video with his signature like some other ppl :P
P.S. This is the first Wheesung song I bothered to download and listen to :D
Craig David's

Honey!!!
I love this song by KARA, but I was really disappointed by the quality of the MV used to promote it. The footage was jumping all over the place, and there was no focus at all. So what if they were dolled up so nicely... it was a waste :(
Thanks to coolsmurf for posting the vid!

Go Away...
I'm so sad... Fly to the Sky is finally disbanding. Decennium would be their last album together T_T Their song for their comeback/farewell is aptly titled Go Away / Goodbye You. Enjoy the MV and their live performance... Will put up a better one if it appears on YouTube. Do buy their last album if you can... as a final support to the band...
I'm gonna go wallow now... *sobs*

Alone again...
I'm posting because I know some people are waiting for me to explain, but I really don't have the breath to explain to every single person. I may edit this later, because I feel that I might have missed out some stuff or explained some things wrongly. But for now, this is what I have to say.
-------------------------------------------------------
I’ve always hated walking alone… eating alone… doing anything alone. When he came along, I thought that my life was set. As long as I didn’t have to walk alone, eat alone or live a life alone, we’d be fine. But I guess there are some things you need to learn before you can be an adult. I’ve held back all this time, and lived the life I had because I was so afraid. I was afraid of being alone; having no one to go to when I needed love and support. Don’t ask me “What about your family?” The love and support from your family is different. It’s not the same as the love and support coming from a person who loves you. If you think your family would love you unconditionally, wait till you meet someone who loves you more than your family does.
He is such a person. I’ve always felt he loved me more than anyone did, other than my Dad. But it wasn’t just love that was important. It was how he understood what I wanted and needed. It irked me that he never saw the small things I needed, but it touched me whenever he understood the things that mean a lot to me. No relationship is perfect, but maybe mine was almost perfect. So why did I have to leave?
Maybe it’s been too long. I no longer know what I want out of the relationship, other than a person to come home to at night, to care for me when I’m sick, to support me when I needed words of encouragement and a hug, and to hold me when I cry.
I just decided that I need to learn to stand alone. For years, even before I met him, I have been reliant on those who would allow me to rely on them. It took me all this time to decide because I was so afraid of being alone, and didn’t want the hassle of going through a tedious separation. I won’t say break up. We were the closest thing to being married. Leaving each other was as big a production as a divorce. It would’ve been so much easier if we’d just gotten married and just continue with our lives, but I wasn’t contented. I want to change... I want to be a stronger and better person...
Here’s where everyone calls me an ungrateful bitch, and how stupid I am for throwing away the best thing in my life. Who would love me that much? Who would do everything for me like he did? Who would promise to take care of me for life? I’ve thought about all these questions… long before this… back then, I was afraid, but now I’ve decided that I want to live my life. I don’t want to be held back because I’m afraid to move forward, alone. It may sound mostly selfish on my part, but I also hope that by doing this, he can start focusing on his life, and what he wants and needs to do for himself. I don’t want him to keep planning his life around me, and I want my life to stop revolving around him. Of course that’s what you do when you’re a couple, but at this moment, I don’t see a future other than us keep dancing around each other.
Of course I’m still afraid. I’m afraid that I would wake up when I’m in my late 30s and realize that I’m unloved and unwanted. But then I wonder, is that worse than committing to something I might regret 10 years later, and having to live with it for the rest of my life? I’ll take my chance now, when I still have some time left.
I've definitely learnt a great deal from being with him. I’m not walking away with nothing. I know now how it feels to know that you can put your life in someone’s hands. I know how secure it feels to know that this person will love and accept you no matter what you become or look like 30-40 years down the road. I may never be able to do this with another person in the future, but if there is anyone who would be able to do 50% of what he has done for me, it’s already a huge feat.
10 years from now… maybe I’ll end up with him again, maybe I’ll find someone new, maybe I’ll be alone. I just want to grow and mature in this time, and learn to take care of myself. Whoever it is who becomes my partner when that time comes… I think he would be thankful to know that I am a better person than I was, and I would be a worthy partner for him, not just a companion. Hopefully…

Superman!!!
For some reason... this song is addictive. Check out the lyrics :D Maybe I'll Romanize it later... hehe!
And one of my fave female singers, Lee Soo Young is out with a new song... This Woman.
I love the lyrics too... they're so meaningful, and reminiscent :P For elaboration, ask me personally :D

Molla-what?
The song is called Molla-ing... which directly translates as 'don't knowing' but I think the correct translation will be 'not knowing. Whatever...
As you can see... I am less biased these days. I don't just ogle at pretty boys, but I appreciate the music of 'bao-faced' Korean girls also ^_^ She reminds me of Sohee of Wonder Girls, whom I seriously detest :P But the song is nice... I might even try to learn it. Nyahaha!
I'm nice enough to hunt for the subbed version of the song, yet again... thank you to this kind YouTube user for subbing the vid.
So shall we give May Doni a chance? We'll see... I'll check out her album and come back to y'all.
One thing... I don't get the MV... so is she singing about her not knowing that her bf is a gay boy? I'm not homophobic... I just like to get the facts straight :P
Update: I was wondering why her name was so long, I found out that she was born in the USA. So her name was May Doni Kim (Korean style: Kim May Doni / Kim Maydoni). Doni is her middle name... ang moh style! Yo! :P So shouldn't they just call her May? :P
Lyrics for this song are posted on my lyrics blog: http://sierraskyeshoei.wordpress.com/korean-songs/

One more for the road...
Before I go to bed... I just found the ALL-NEW acapella version of the Hahaha Song by TVXQ! They made it sound like gospel... tee hee! *skips around*
Lovely... isn't it? :P
Lovely... isn't it? :P
Call me... Call me... [updated!]
Ah... we have yet another piece of Korean eye candy to ogle at... meet Tae Goon...
No vid with translations yet, but once I find one, I'll switch this away.
Found subbed version!
Rumour has it that he's TVXQ's Jae Joong's buddy. So since he's almost family, I'll do a short mention on him. The song is pretty catchy, and the video... 'nuff said. Jae Joong barely appeared for a total of 1 min, but it's enough for me... he's HAWT!!! Tae Goon isn't too shabby either. The only eyesore was the girl. The guys were obviously too attractive for her. What would possess her to even two-time Jae?
Whoever wrote the script did not have his head on straight. In the end... Jae shoots at Tae Goon and the girl (I can very well put her name here, but I prefer to call her 'the girl'). They don't say who got shot... Though I'm not a fan of YAOI, I'll still say that I hope Jae shot the girl, then went off with Tae Goon. Hehehe!
Speaking of pretty boys, a colleague of mine could not understand why girls were so enamored by them (not all girls, just some of us, or many of us).
Don't get me wrong... I am far from homely or wifely... what I was pointing out was that they do like 'normal' girls once in awhile... so don't lose hope, fangirls of pretty boys... our day will come!!! And we will taste their sweet fleshes... YUMM!!!

He said:
Even if you got your claws on one, you won't be able to keep him. They probably date the hottest chicks all the time.
My reply:
Well... as much as a man likes eating the good food outside or even the expensive food... every so often, he would yearn for a homecooked meal. That'll be me! ^_^
His response:
You're right... hahahahahaha...

I've decided not to be sexist this year, so I'm gonna support more female K-Pop acts. 소녀시대(So Nyeo Shi Dae - SNSD), otherwise known as Girls Generation have released a mini album entitled Gee. I was a little skeptical when I first heard the title, but the song turned out to be pretty catchy... that is if you like cute girls. But they're song is definitely not as ditzy as KARA's Pretty Girl.
The video could definitely be better. Not enough dancing... and as usual... too much hair flying around that I can't tell who's who. And why must they always have a bridge where it's all slow... slow... slow... in a fast song? Anyhoo... cute song! A song about first love. Hmm... it's been so long since my first love... did it really feel like this song described it? Hehe!
As much as I hate to admit it, Nobody is easier to remember. Then again... SM likes complicated songs :P All the best to SNSD. But there are 9 of them... they should pose a threat at least...
I'll post romanizations later for those who wanna sing along. You can definitely try, but I find the song to be a bloody tongue twister.

Just wanna feel free...
This is like the 3rd time this year I’ve OD-ed on Korean music. I had too much time over the weekend and I went on a download frenzy… I have now amassed almost all of Park Hyo Shin’s albums, just missing his 5th album. Anyone know where I can get it? And also the instrumental version for Castle of Zoltar… I need that.
Also downloaded Lee Min Woo’s 4th album, M RIZING and SS501's mini-album, U R Man. Something about SS501’s songs it just makes me wanna dance. I now understand how it feels to be in a goldfish bowl. My room in Singapore is small, but space is not an issue for me. It’s the fact that there are so many people at home who may intrude on this private activity of mine :P Sitting here in the office is a torture. My whole body is itching to dance. Just wanna run off somewhere and dance all the tension away.
Let's do some reviews... I've always liked Lee Min Woo's music, but this 4th album was really different. I don't see a very consistent style of music throughout the album, which makes it very entertaining.
1. I'm Here
2. 남자를 믿지마 (Feat. BigTone)
3. I “M” U (Feat. MightyMouth)
4. 용서해
5. 멋진 인생
6. 가면 무도회 (Feat. BigTone) (Masquerade)
7. 윙크 쇼 (Wink Show)
8. Honey 꼬시기 - Feat. 유빈 (Wonder Girls)
9. Sad Song
10. 반한 Girl
11. 나의 여백(M’s Epilogue)
12. ...없게 만들어요
13. Hot! (Feat. 손담비)...)
The opening song, I'm Here is powerful. Wink Show is reminiscent of a circus parade. Cool Life sounds like a song by the Korean Rat Pack :P Masquerade is a good song to tango to ^_^ But the sexiest song will be Hot! featuring Son Dambi of the chairdance fame :P Please wiki if you need elaboration.
SS501's Triple-S put out a surprisingly different album. This album reminds me a lot of 90s Pop. Think 911, Code Red... but I like it.
1. WANT IT
2. U R Man
3. The ONE
4. 사랑인거죠
5. Never Let You Go
6. I AM
Want It is the typical Hip Hop opening, used to make a statement. U R Man, I have already advertised in one of my last posts. It's K-pop, and the video is funny! :P I dunno what inspired the Korean mob look. My favourite songs are the remaining Never Let You Go, The ONE and I AM (in this order). Don't ask me why I like them... I have a soft spot for 90s pop... and when you throw in funny instruments, it just gets me hooked to the song :P
On a darker note, I got slammed on YouTube several times in the past few days. It’s kinda disheartening to hear from mean people. I usually reply politely and carry on doing what I like, but it gets annoying when such people keep coming back to attack me. I have never put myself out as a good dancer. I dance because I love the way the music makes me feel. I just want to move when I hear a great song. The other reason I post my videos is to share good songs with people. Naturally, I won’t just post the songs and put a photo… why not make it a little more interesting by posting a video? :P
I know for a fact that I can dance, because my teachers have told me so. Of course I can’t do splits or backflips, but I can move. I just lack discipline. If I would actually take the time and put in the effort to choreograph and practice before I record, it would definitely look better. I’ll be starting my Hip Hop lessons again after CNY. Hopefully that would help me improve.
But honestly, I love freestyling, and just dancing to whatever and whenever. I guess this is my message to the viewers. To feel free and do whatever it is that music makes you feel. What else is more precious in today’s world than freedom of expression? The feeling that you are releasing that inner energy and putting your emotions on display…
Some people paint, some people cook, some take photos, some write poetry… I just wanna dance ^_^ (and sing too!)

I will make it...
Yes... I am in obsessive mode again. I can't help it that this song is inspiring. If you have watched the live version, you would have seen the meaning of the lyrics. For those who like the song as much as I do... I have romanized the lyrics so you can sing along!!! ^_^ Please tell me if I made any mistakes...

효신 오빠!!!
His name is Park Hyo Shin. This guy is my latest obession. His voice is super duper heavenly... I can't believe I didn't know about him till now. He's had about 5 albums put out already!!
The video doesn't say much, but he does look awesome in it. This guy can also sing perfectly live!
The band that accompanies him is pretty good... HWANG PROJECT! ^_^ When I hear this song, I imagine an MV that goes like this...
A male protagonist (hot guy looking like him) runs in the snow... just runs... and at the end of the song, the female protagonist stands there, waiting for him ^_^ Yea... I have weird visions in my mind :P

Triple S???
As always... I have nothing better to say... but first of all I wanna tell my best buds that I had a great time on my b'day. Thank you for taking the time to meet up and spend this dreaded day with me. I'm now a quarter of a century old T_T MWAAHHH!!!
Let's introduce Triple-S; the subgroup of SS501 which was formed because the 2 other S's (asses ^_^) were too busy. Their new song sounds very familiar to something they have done before, but for some reason... I adore it. Even if they're dressed like members of a mob for the MV. Maybe it's because of Kyu Joong ^_^

I Like to FAN GIRL...
I found 2 adorable vids about their new album and the works...
Jae Joong was NOT as thin as I thought he was. He looked kinda small in the actual MV... but here in the making... I could really see his muscles... it's just the way I'd always liked it... yummy!!! He's not painfully thin anymore... YAY!!!

MIROTIC iz I... [the review]
Since we all know I have nothing worthwhile to do these days… let’s review every single song in MIROTIC :D I’ve not checked out the translation of each song… so I’m reviewing them solely based on how the tunes makes me feel.
01. 주문(MIROTIC)
This song sounded weird to me when I first heard it on YouTube. Nevertheless… I still danced to it :P After hearing the actual track on mp3, I realized the beat was so different. Wonder why =.= I would’ve interpreted the song differently in the dance had I heard this version first. The main thing about this song is that it grows on you. First listen… hmmm… 2nd listen… still hmm… 3rd listen… mmm hmmm… 4th listen… oooh… 5th listen… I’m hooked.
02. Wrong Number
This song is heavy. I caught a few words singing about nagging and the woman being bothersome. So basically they don’t want a this nagging woman to call anymore ^_^ The singing is okay in this song.
03. 노을...바라보다 (Picture of You)
This is their specialty… the soft lilting melody of a traditional ballad. Sadly… their harmonization don’t give a fresh take to the song. It sounds like every ballad they’ve ever sung. Don’t get me wrong… it’s a nice song… but it leaves me wanting to hear something different… other than their usual staple of traditional or R&B-ish ballads.
04. CRAZY LOVE
Oooh… this song I am crazy about. Mostly cos Electronic is in these days, and I love Electronic. The song is light and fluffy… makes you feel high and ready to dance. So you’d have guessed… I danced to this one :P It’s a bit old school and disco-ish. I can listen to it all day. Puts me in a good mood.
05. HEY!(Don't bring me down)
This song means business. Starts off with beat box sounds (wonder if they did it themselves). It’s a rockin’ song… good for power walking. Hehe! But at the same times… makes you wanna krump to it too… kekeke! Don’t be surprised if I decide to dance this one too :P
06. 넌 나의 노래
This I can translate the title… ‘You’re my song (or melody)’. Also cos they keep singing this line in the song. Another slow song… but this isn’t like the earlier. Sounds like an English song I know… can’t put my finger on it. This one might make it onto an OST for some serial drama.
07. 무지개 (Rainbow)
Hmm… starts of with an old school beat, very 80s. I actually like this one. Very danceable too. It’s light and sweet too, but not as good as Crazy Love :)
08. 낙원 (Paradise)
I hear the sitar playing. I just realized there are so many American R&B inspired tunes here. I could totally see this song in an R Kelly album. Are they straying too far from their Korean roots?
09. 악녀(Are You a Good Girl?)
I am guessing this is naughty song; another dance track. And I think the title in Korean looks more like ‘devil girl’ or ‘bad girl’ to me… hehe! My Korean is still crappy… I could be wrong. Doesn’t stir much in me, this song…
10. Flower Lady
Lalala… another sweet ballad… the title is odd. I call songs like that ‘album fillers’.
11. 잊혀진계절
This is supposed to be a special track in Version A of the album. Another traditional Korean ballad. I just found out that it means 'Forgotten Season', courtesy of Wikipedia. A Jae Joong solo... It sounds like gospel music to me =.= Sorry Jae... But it's a remake of a classic... so... :P
12. love in the Ice
This is the Korean version of one of their Japanese singles. Yes… it’s a ballad. I used to like this song… but you’ll grow tired of it. Then again… Jae Joong and Jun Su’s voices were very prominent here… so that’s one reason for me to love it.
Now that I have went through every single song… I can actually count the number of songs I actually like. About 6-7… which makes it half the album. I guess this is what always happens when you buy an album. You may only like 2 out of the 10-14 songs. You can really tell which song makes an impression on me from the length and description I can provide in it, eh? ^_^
The new album’s concept is really to show that they’ve become MEN. Hence the sexy lyrics & tunes and sexified new image (utilizing lots of chest exposure). The dancing is still the same style for me. And yes, I am biased… but I do think Yoo Chun totally missed the boat when it came to the new look. Can’t blame him though. It’s his stylists’ fault. What’s up with the hair??? It’s so unbecoming…
As usual… Jae’s hair is the best. He totally personifies the concept of the new album. Though I'm still hankering for him to put on a bit more weight so that his muscles will look more defined *drools* I’m gonna get his haircut ASAP. It kinda reminds me of my old hair. Let’s see what my stylist says. I’m beginning to get bored of my current cut… makes me look matured. I wanna be edged out… not just cos I adore Jae’s hair… I think watching ANTM is brainwashing me again. Hehe!
Please buy the album if you care about them. Proceeds will go to feeding them more rice and kimch'i so that they'll put on more weight... T_T
Btw... here's a vid of their live performance of MIROTIC...

i iz MIROTIC...
The objects of my desire are back... my TVXQ!
I'm not so crazy about the new song yet... mainly because it reminds me a little of Xiah's 'My Page', but the video is hot enough for me... my Jae has regained some muscles... but still not enough for me. EAT MORE!!!
Anyhoo... here's their new MV for the title track 주문 (Mirotic).
Their 4th album, Mirotic, is a combination of the words 'miro' which means 'maze' with the suffix 'tic'. Don't ask me why they came up with such a name... Koreans still baffle me sometimes :D The standard explanation is that it means that 'to be warped into a labyrinth'. Interestingly, some have translated Mirotic to mean 'spell'... as in a witch's spell... etc. The song is mainly about my honeys singing about how people are so into them... so true... YES... I've fallen for you, I want you, and I've got you under my skin... hehe!
I've preordered the beautiful album, version B. Comes with a DVD. I'm having 2nd thoughts... should I have gotten the photobook version? I mean... books last forever, and DVDs will die someday... hmmm... But where will I keep the book? Gaaahhh... :P Here's extra info...

I hit the bottom yesterday. I wanted to just quit everything here and go home. What will I do when I get home? I thought about it, and felt that I’d very much like to just stay home and accompany my mother day-in, day-out. What will I do for income? I don’t wanna work :P
Yes… it’s very absurd. I know it’s absurd… but this was what my demented mind was egging me on to do yesterday.
“Go home…” the voice whispered. “Go home…”
I called my father and cried for 40 over minutes, trying to get his blessing to follow that voice. Of course he said that I shouldn’t, and if I wanted to… I should only do it maybe 10 years down the road. Then he proceeded to tell me all the hardships he’d been through long ago, and even now. The stories didn’t lift my spirit… but they made me think of the kind of life my father had led and how he had come to where he was today. Life got better for him… and now I hope life will get better for me.
I calmed down by noon yesterday. I realized being able to interact with people made me happier. I need people to talk to. I need to be able to tell them about me. A bit self-centered, I know… but isn’t that how it always is? When you see a friend, you’d want to tell them what has been happening to you, and of course listen to what has been happening to them? I’m going to try harder to find people to talk to… I need more friends :P
Yesterday, I finally got over my phobia of eating mixed rice. I dunno how I got it in the first place, but I was dreading it every time I thought of dinner. I don’t anymore… and neither am I dreading lunch time. I’ll need to work on keeping this mood in check. I’d been dreading all mealtimes since I came back to Singapore because I kept telling myself the food here sucked and I eat the same shit every day :P I’m better now… and I’m reminding myself that I should eat to survive, and not think so much about what I’m eating. It’s not like I’m eating poo… I bought a loaf of bread and I’ll munch whenever I feel hungry. I had 3 slices in a span of 3 hours after lunch yesterday. Am I gonna get fat? :P Hope not… I just lost weight… from 55-56 to 53.5. I should be rejoicing and loving the fact that I’m taking the bus and MRT. It has helped me lose weight :P
Mornings are especially hard for me. I’ll admit that it’s partly laziness which prompts me to use my pain – be it minor or major – to lie an extra minute, or to be tempted not to go to work. I need to work on encouraging myself to just get up and go… I suppose making sure that I have quality sleep will help. I get into bed around 10 these days… and fall asleep by 11. And sometimes… I just can’t bear to leave my sleeping Geof. We have so little time together each day. I miss the days in Melaka where we could go home together, and on weekends… just hang out and laze around. Here… we have laundry to think of… and sometimes I have to get home alone :P No matter… I’m pushing him to accompany me home these days. Or when he’s home… I make him shower early so that we can just lounge around and talk before we go to bed :D
“You’re not imperfect,” my dad told me on the phone yesterday.
I’m not perfect either… I may be just a little less than perfect :P But I suppose my life is almost perfect. I have someone who loves me no matter what I become, no matter what I am, and I know that I am capable… I have the brains to do my job well. Why did I have to worry? I’ve always wanted to be perfect… so maybe I wanted too much. But now I know that I am good enough. I’m going to remind myself each day that I am good at what I do. If people gave me the chance… it would be because they had a least a little faith in me… they know I can do it. Time will tell... I CAN DO IT!!!
I’m planning to take a music production course early next year… and if this is really what I like and what I wanna do… I’m gonna take more courses, work on improving myself… while I continue with my current job. Then maybe by the time I settle down and have kids… I can do my music work freelance, or part time… from home :D My kinda life… :D
If you notice… I’m trying to use a lot of positive words now. I keep emphasizing that I am better, I am happier, I am getting healthier… this is how I motivated myself yesterday and this morning. I repeat these affirmations to myself and I am trying to program them into my brain.
I am happy… I am healthy… I am strong… I am capable…
As long as I keep in the right mindset, I will believe in these and I will move forward. I wrote myself a little mantra / affirmation thingie and pasted it right in front of me at my desk. I’d like to share it with everyone who is reading… in case you ever need to be reminded that you have a good life, just like I do… but you just can’t see it in your moments of darkness. Print it out if you like… change the words so that they will speak more specifically to you. I have amended it a few times... whenever I think of a word that would help me reaffirm the thought better. Share this with people you think will need this to help them through their day, or maybe just to remind them how good their life is. Some of the words you may have seen in many of those forwarded emails with the same purpose… reminding you of your good fortunes… some of the words are my own. Make this your own… and let it motivate you to move forward.

SMILE…
SOMEONE IS THINKING ABOUT YOU
LAUGH…
YOU GET HAPPIER EVERY SECOND YOU DO IT
SPEAK…
SO THAT OTHERS WILL GET TO KNOW YOU BETTER
TAKE CARE…
LOVE YOURSELF, CARE FOR YOURSELF… SO THAT YOU WILL KEEP GROWING STRONGER, HEALTHIER AND HAPPIER
LOOK FORWARD…
YOUR LIFE IS GETTING BETTER EACH DAY
MOVE FORWARD...
YOU HAVE FAMILY AND FRIENDS WHO WANT TO SEE YOU SUCCEED
REMEMBER…
YOU HAVE SOMEONE WHO LOVES YOU AND BELIEVES IN YOU… NO MATTER WHAT
I’m moving forward now… I’m not going to talk about how difficult the road may be or think about how I’m going to keep doing this each day. I will deal with it as each day comes, and I will remind myself…
Look forward… move forward… your life is getting better… and you have people who love you.
I hope the next time I blog… I will be sane again :D No… I should say… the next time I blog… I will be able to tell you how I became sane again ;)

Why?
I would say that I have no time to blog. But in actual fact, I have no words to describe my life now. That is why I've not been blogging.
I left Melaka for Singapore, thinking that I could finally chase my dreams and lead a life that was worthwhile and fulfilling. I was wrong. I could... of course I could... you can too, but my mind is not strong enough for all this.
I cannot get used to living here. For one... living away from home is horrible. I miss my room. I miss the familiar convenience of Melaka. No matter how shiny and glittery Singapore is, it cannot compare to my home. I miss space. I miss simplicity. I miss the good things in a small town. I miss my old life.
Before I came, the bigger motivation was to be with Geof. I couldn't stand living apart anymore, and I told myself that it would be better for us to be together. What's more... I could pursue my interests in Singapore; music, dance... whatever it is I wanted to study. What I'd forgotten was that moving out here meant taking care of myself, and taking care of myself meant that I had less energy to pursue my interests.
GASTRITIS... the biggest hinderance in my life. My weak mind had given in to this illness. What started as an illness caused by irregular meals has become a condition that has now dictated my life. I am bloated all day. I wake up every morning in pain because of hunger. Nothing placates my stomach. Whatever I ate feels like nothing. Before I sat down to write this, I'd eaten a bowl of porridge. It felt as if I'd just drank a cup of water. Nothing more.
I've given up so many foods... given up my life... I loved eating, and I still do, but these days, I lose my appetite because I am reminded of all the things I should not eat, and all the things that I miss from back home. I worry myself sick about everything I put in my mouth... wondering how it will affect me the next morning. Sometimes I wish I could say "To hell with this..." and eat a bowl of curry. Sometimes I just wish I'd die... then I wouldn't have to torture myself like this anymore. But is it worth dying just because I cannot eat curry, nasi lemak, fried foods... basically all the good stuff other than plain old noodles in soup?
I'm tired. I had been sleepless the past weeks, and the doctor tells me that my lack of sleep is affecting my immune system. That's why I'd been feeling cold every night... I go to bed wearing 2 shirts, long pants and thick socks. The air conditioner is NOT turned on. I'm sleeping a little better now, since I saw the doctor, but once I fix something, my mind comes up with something else for me to fret about.
I hate going to work. I don't have colleagues I can yak to all day. We eat the same boring shit for lunch, and everyone at the office is just so... quiet... I think people actually think that I'm a reserved person at work... I am not myself... I want to be myself. I want to look forward to going to work because I will have a good time. But my sister said "Who likes going to work?" I am pretty sure the people who do like their work would tell you that it makes you feel different... and that it's so much more rewarding to have a happy work environment.
Geof asked me... so are you giving up now? Are you giving up on yourself? Do you just want to go home since this is obviously not working out? I'm not giving up, and I don't want to just go home because I had a reason to be here. I wanted a different life... for 1 year, 2 years or 3 years... I want to live that life...
But where will I find the strength now? Where will I find the will to move forward? Am I letting my self-pity get the better of me?

This is CRACK... Sheeeaaattt!!!
Once in awhile, I'd blog about the music that I'm into, but this is becoming ridiculous. This song has got me hooked... it's worse than being addicted to crack. It fills my mind and just keeps running in my head. Then it just makes me wanna dance, or immerse myself in all the emotions and heartbreak it's singing about.
Here are 3 versions of my new favourite song by Big Bang, Day by Day (하루하루). For those who don't like R&B-ish dance music... sorry la... this is my fix :P
I am so, so mesmerized by TOP+G-Dragon's combo vocals. For those who dunno which is which... TOP is the sinisterly sexy guy, and G-Dragon is the pretty boy protagonist who got dumped. Take note @ 2:20... the music and vocal build up is mind-blowing!!!
Original Version
For those who wanna just enjoy watching the original.
Translated Version
For those who need to know what it's about.
MV Plot Reinterpreted Version
For those with a wicked sense of humour ^_^

Halelujah... ^_^
My boyfriend just said some very enlightening words to me about 10-20 minutes ago...
"Muslims need to go to Mecca once in their lives. EPL fans need to go to UK once in their lives. You need to go to Korea (South Korea) at least once in your life..."
He really hit the nail in the head... hahaha! So... I guess... I should start saving... but I really don't know when I'll be going :P Anyone wanna come along? But be warned... I don't exactly backpack i.e. I will not sleep in seedy places cos I need a nice clean room to survive... and I don't do tours... unless we tour first and extend our stay. If you're expecting to go to South Korea to see where they filmed Winter Sonata, Jewel in the Palace or Goong... not on my trip :P
But I wouldn't mind joining the groupies outside the TV or radio stations... hehehe~!

Facebook Addiction...
Yes... this is me being lazy again. I'm not really blogging... but I've gotten into a habit of posting interesting vids I find :) This particular one I found today was about Facebook addiction; an ailment that I suspect is becoming a plague among me and my real friends (not my Facebook friends). Hehe! :P

What's it got to do?
One popular questions I've been hearing this weekend was "What has the bunny and eggs got to do with the resurrection of Christ?". I was about to Wiki it, when I stumbled upon this video on the internet. So in the spirit of learning and sharing... I hope this video has cleared most doubts ^_^
The History of Easter
Btw... the very outdated me has just watched the movie, Enchanted... my fave character in the movie is Pip, the chipmunk... when he's in the real world. Not too crazy about his voice when he's in Andalasia. And in the entire movie, this is the most original scene ever... original mainly because it parodies one of the most memorable scenes in fairytales...
Pip (as Nathaniel): (with evil voice) Apple?
Pip (as Giselle): (high-pitched) No, thank you!
Pip (as Nathaniel): (with evil voice) It's nice...
Pip (as Giselle): (high-pitched) Oh... okay!
I love how vividly it portrays the obvious evil in the villain's tone, and how the heroine would always be gullible and unwary of the villain. Who would take stuff from suspicious strangers? :P
LOL! Try doing this roleplay with friends (who are kooky enough, like me ^_^ ), or children who would indulge you. Hehehe! You can use all sorts of food and drinks in place of the apple... it still cracks me up after a full day later. Tee hee!

GATSBY!!! GATSBY!!!
OMG!!! Gatsby's ads are just too crazy... look what they did to my Takuya Kimura... hehehe! But he's still cute... older... gayer... but still adorable ^^p
I can imagine 2 Korean guys doing these ads... Hee Chul or Yoo Chun... cos they both look the part... and they're both seriously as dorky and yet charismatic as Takuya is!!! ^_^

I can imagine 2 Korean guys doing these ads... Hee Chul or Yoo Chun... cos they both look the part... and they're both seriously as dorky and yet charismatic as Takuya is!!! ^_^

5 “O” -正･反･合
6 Step By Step
7 Choosey Lover
It also includes a bonus clip of their offshot movies i.e. their behind the scenes footage from the PVs of “O” -正･反･合 and Choosey Lover.
I HAVE BOTH!!! *SQUEALS*
Yes... I'm broke now... T_T
Anyways... I'm loving it... most of the songs I've heard because they were released as singles before, so the new song I'm digging at the moment is 'Zion'. For those who are interested in having a little listen, check out their CD on HMV Japan's product catalogue.
Five in the Black on HMV.co.jp
The main thing I notice about TVXQ's Japanese albums are that the image they try to portray in Japan is different from the one they try to portray in Korea. They seem to give out a sexier vibe in Japan, looking at the PVs. And they have girls in the PVs, and they interact with them. You won't find girls dancing alongside them or standing in close proximity in their Korean MVs. I guess it's because the Korean fans are more likely to want to kill the girl, than the Japanese fans. Haha!
Another song to note in this album is the ballad version of 'Miss You'. I love the fast version, and I love the ballad version even more. It's a sad song with a fast beat. Haha! So the ballad version makes it even sadder.
My darlings are on tour in Japan now... when are you coming to Malaysia... nuna is waiting... and waiting... and waiting... Haha! I really hope I'll be around when they come... and not on another damned business trip T_T
So to sum this post up... this album rocks. Please buy it when it's released in your country. Downloading should be for the purpose of satisfy your craving until the original is available. Or you can always do what I do... buy from HMV Japan. They are fast, I tell you. You'll get your CD in like 3 days... really!!! And they offer good customer service. I love HMV!!! They even threw in a free postcard for me!!!

What now??? Aisshhhiiii!!!
Okay… I know I promised to talk about my audition, but I really don’t have the heart to. I’ll write when I get the results… cross your fingers everyone… I’m still waiting for JYP to call me… to make me a star. If they don’t want me… then I’m probably gonna end up singing covers of popular karaoke favorites in the local music scene T_T Not exactly what I had in mind =P
Anyway… let’s talk about my new loves… Of course I’ll always love TVXQ… they are 5 of the hottest pieces of flesh on this earth, but I happen to appreciate other music besides theirs… so without much ado, meet my new favourites:
Monday Kiz (R&B)
First got hooked onto their most popular debut song, 'Bye Bye Bye' … their MV starred Lee Dong Wook, the love of my sister’s life. And the song was… arrrggghhh… can’t describe it… it was too beautiful. Their vocals are almost a replica of FTTS, one deep voice and one sweet voice ;) They debuted in 2005.
Lee Jin-Seong and Kim Min Su, both 22 years old, are easy on the eyes, but not as easy as Brian and Hwan Hee… and I’m fast getting hooked onto both their albums. I’ve placed an order for their first album ;) I think what I like about them is that they sound a little more modern, compared to FTTS’ old albums. Honestly, I love FTTS’ latest album the most, which is why I love Monday Kiz now… Their style is exactly my taste…
EVE (Rock)
Korean Rock, I feel, is an underappreciated genre. Its bands like EVE, The TRAX and YB that garner some interest for this minority genre in Korea. EVE caught my on during the end credits on an episode of Super Junior Full House. Hence, began my quest to find out who they were. Thank god for my miniscule knowledge in Korean characters, I was able to download the song I heard, 'Goodbye', on emule… and I am now hooked on them too.
'Goodbye' is a blend of rock and classical… my kind of music. I love fusion. It’s my favorite kind of music… to blend different kinds of sound into a song… to make the composition unpredictable. That’s why I love EVE. But they sound suspiciously J-Rock. Haha! No matter… it’s still nice. 'Goodbye' is from their 7th album, 'sEVEnth evening'.
Son Ho Young (R&B)
Known to me and Felicia as His Hotness… an ex-member of the group G.O.D… this sex-god is claiming all our hearts… well... at least those I share his songs with. Most people would probably take a look at his album cover and think he was just testing out a solo career after G.O.D… or trying to be the next Lee Min Woo… Let me say… there is no doubt he can sing. He’d prepared well for this album, and it shows.

One year after the disbanding of g.o.d., former member Son Ho Young releases his debut solo album. For this album, he especially sought vocal training from singer Park Sun Joo (whose students include TVXQ's Xiah Jun Su and Fly to the Sky's Fany). He hopes to present a completely new Son Ho Young with a vocal style different from that of his g.o.d. days.
Son Ho Young Vol. 1 - Yes presents a range of different musical styles. Son shows off his vocal range and strong voice with the main track "I Cry" (Track 5), a beautiful and touching ballad. Meanwhile, the mid-tempo dance number Yes (Track 2) raises the volume with pulsing beats and funky rhythms. The multi-talented Son also included his own compositions in the album. He wrote the song and lyrics for "Happy Virus" (Track 13) and the lyrics for "Confession" (Track 15) and "Love and Separation Come Together" (Track 4).
Everyone MUST watch his MV for 'Love Leads to Separation', a song he wrote. It really conveyed the message and emotion of the song, and it doesn’t hurt that he’s a good dancer. Ho Young might not be everyone’s cup of tea in the looks department, but there’s no denying he’s hot… and his voice… even hotter.
Super Junior – T (Trot)
SM has done it again… break another piece off of Super Junior to make some moolah… and Super Junior – T is raking it in. Rokkugeo!!! Most people find the song mad… and listening to it too much would make one annoyed, but xing and I absolutely adore it… It’s fast, funny and fresh… I’d close my curtains and doors and do my own silly dance to it… because it’s fun!!! Learning to sing along is the biggest challenge though… such mouthful of words… aisshiii…
Nothing more I can say about them… except… listen!!! Go nuts!!! It's a relaxing song… honestly…
Brian (R&B)
Saved the best for last… Brian oppa!! I love you!!! His solo effort is a winner!!! I’ve always said… if you asked me to listen to Hwan Hee for a whole song, let alone a whole album… I think I wouldn’t be able to take it. It’s like having too many chocolate fudge brownies. Brian’s a light and fluffy chocolate mousse… that… I can have a few… hehe!
Quote Wikipedia
Originally, the album was to be fully recorded in English; due to lack of time, however, all tracks are in Korean, excluding the English track "All I Know". Joo performed his first single, "Kajima" (Don't Go), on Mnet Countdown on December 7. He released three songs from the album to music website Melon.com. Released on December 18th, the album debuted at #7 behind TVXQ and sold 15,376 copies in the first month. On January 21, "Kajima" was selected as the "Mutizen Song" on SBS Inkigayo. Due to hectic schedule, Joo has been suffering from vocal fold nodule.
Poor Brian oppa T_T But he did it in the end... he made his first solo masterpiece... I'm so proud of him...
My favorite song in this album is 'Black Tears'… I seem to be a sucker for sad songs… and this song is especially touching… The English version is also available on the CD, and is renamed 'All I Know'. I love Brian’s voice… *swoons* If there is anyone I can sing a duet with someday, it’ll be Brian.
P.S. Special post of TXVQ’s new album, Five in the Black coming up!!!

Is this mold growing on me???
It's been more than a month since I've started at my new job as an Electronic Data Management Engineer (yes, what a mouthful), and I'm still basically doing nothing. That's why I have the time to write now :P
I'm leaving for Dresden, Germany, on 3rd Feb and will only be arriving back in Malaysia on Chinese New Year's eve, 17 Feb. I shudder at the thought of the jam I would have to sit through from KLIA to Melaka :( What to do... But if the plans don't fall through, the trip might be cancelled and I might go after CNY. So let's see what happens. The problem with a huge corporation... everything takes such a long time... I can have the tickets and hotel booked, but if my German counterparts are busy, no point for me to be there. Unless the company decided to send me on an all expenses paid vacation :P
Ok... on a happier note! :) I'm going for the JYP auditions in Singapore this Saturday, Feb 27. Wish me luck... I really do hope I get in. Much rather go to Korea than to Dresden. Hehe! For more info on JYP Entertainment, go to www.jype.com. JYP is the company Rain (the Korean singer) is signed with.
I've been taking singing lessons lately, so I hope they will benefit me this time. My teacher did tell me that if I didn't make it during the auditions, he'll find me a record label. But since the future in Malaysian entertainment industry is pretty bleak, unless you get to go to Taiwan, I'd rather score with JYP. If not, there's always SM (again) in a few months :P Then again, beggars can't be choosers.
I'm pretty much set on what I'm going to perform. A little nervous about the dance part cos they're just gonna play random music. We're not asked to prepare our own. I hope it's not Beyonce again :P The only bummer is the queue I might have to endure. I've heard from my Singapore friends that the audition has been heavily publicised on TV and in the local magazines. This means that I might have to fight to queue with the following people:
1. Hopefuls who have a shot at making it
2. Hopefuls who don't have a shot at making it (ok, I'm being mean)
3. People who think they might see Rain at the auditions (extremely deluded)
4. People who think that if they get signed, they get to meet Rain (somewhat deluded)
5. People who just like to queue (words can't describe how I feel about such people)
The thought of the queue is what makes me feel like going to the KL auditions instead, since in Malaysia, it's hardly publicised, therefore, less people to fight with. But my friends have promised to accompany me, so I will treat it as a gathering, an outing :P What a great friend I am :)
God... give me strength to fight, stay and win on Saturday... My future is in your hands... If I do become a Korean popstar, I'll start going to church ;) Okay... that's not very appropriate. One should never challenge or ask so blatantly from God...
Everyone... please pray for me.
I WANNA GO TO KOREA!!! I WANNA BE A STAR IN KOREA!!!
