Vow

Okay. Time to use that remaining holidays with beneficial returns , rather than slack... I think I have enjoyed enough of Chinese New Year...

Happy Chinese New Year

Barely a month after the New Year, it's the New Year again ( It's the Lunar Chinese New Year I meant!)

Well just like every other New Year or Chinese New Year, it's always nice to sit down and ponder and look back the the year that passed by, which I always do ( Say NO to New Year partying please and thank you! XD ). And erm. Yeah last year was very different to this year. Last year I was scrapping pass my intern, and my reunion dinner was at KL.

Funny thing is that that memory is still fresh in my mind. Although it's not exactly one year that has passed if we were to consider the Gregorian calender, it's still almost a year ago though.

Well I guess happy memories does stay imprinted. But haha. I kinda lost touch of Chinese New Year 2 years ago though. Well maybe next year's Chinese New Year will wipe away last years memory?

I hope that I can can continue making my resolutions come true as stated on 1.1.12. And yeah, I hope my friends, family, loved one's etc etc. will have a prosperous year ahead.

Seriously I'm not a fan of Fengshui. So if Fengshui is against you this year, well be thankful that I'm at least one guy out that who doesn't give Fengshui a thought and hereby wish you all, Happy Chinese New Year, and have a wonderful year ahead!

By the way, since it's the Dragon Year, I'm gonna post some pictures of dragons XP. Top 5 dragons of my opinion.

5. Rayquaza - Pokemon Emerald

Good Old Rayquaza as number 5

4. Leviathan - Mythical creature

Leviathan, the mythical sea creature/dragon as one of the keepers of hell

3. Fell Beast - Lord Of The Rings

Technically speaking a fell beast isn't a dragon, but let's consider it as a dragon, since it's so epic and looks like one XP

2. Smaug - The Hobbit

Yes The Hobbit is in the making. However how Smaug is isn't been illustrated yet in the movie. One bad arse dragon I assure you people.

1. Bahamut - Final Fantasy IX

I've only played one Final Fantasy before. And Bahamut deserves top spot. No elemental attacks. Just one cool hyper beam that wipes everything off. XP

Just nice. HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR PEOPLE! XP

Study Week

This is one of the few times, or the one time, when you have a study week in the middle of the exam week. Thanks to USM's schedule, My next paper is gonna be on the next Friday.

Good or bad? Well depends on how you look at things and how people study. People who have slow progress like me, find this quite on the good side, although plenty of time mostly means plenty of time wasted.

It's still a long way to Friday paper. But I'm pretty sure time will pass by swiftly~!

Night world~! :)

Of The "F" word and Profanities

Come to think of it, I used to use profanities a lot (last time!). And when I think back, they don't sound great, and I did not look cool.

To make matters worse, my mum was a teacher. Yeah. I think I let her down and brought a lot of shame (although I use them at home, but I guess they were loud enough for the neighbours to hear me).

@#$#%&&#*#*(!!!!

Well I was in my adolescence years. Rage. Rampaging hormones, adrenaline. You put me with my brother, another teen, you get hell. We always quarrel and fight. And he was the pro in cursing poison; I was the profane pro. Ah.. double shame for my parents.

I would not say that I was right to use profanities back in my teens. But I cannot deny that it isn't a norm. It's a norm to curse in profanities back then, when we tend to get angry and not choosing the physical way to show the un-keep-able rage. So compared to those fighting, we were considered mild and delicate... (LOL)

Well of course I have learn not to utter these words now(well the truth is I cut down on it. A lot too!) We're now living in a world, where what the Westerners do, is what to be followed. "Sh*t", the "F" word, and other profanities seem to be a norm nowadays. We've been to movies, listen to music. There's always the "F" word there. The world has become, more and more accepting with the usage of profanities. (It's a FACT! You can't deny this!)


One very good example is the emergence of the Internet memes. For those of you who aren't sure what Internet memes are, well perhaps you should've seen them before...

Happy Family~!

So there's this one meme that goes like this...

I've censored it! You guys know how to fill in the blanks, don't cha? XP

Using memes is a growing trend. Heck I started using them. And used them all the time. And I used it without realizing that everytime I use it, I'm using a profanity. I rarely, or you can say never (or perhaps very seldom) use profanities on facebook. It strucked me today. Hard.

Yes using memes is fun. Sometimes it's so fun that you don't realize that you're using a profanity, unintentionally. Although it's not wrong to use it, it's just not the right thing or word to use.

I'm no teen or adolescent now. I'm already 22. By age, I'm already a man. I should be rationale and be able to know how to react, or how to manage my anger, and not just depending on profanities to cool my head.

Cause deep down inside, I know that every time I use it, I'll make the people around me look down on me, and also bring shame to my parents, for failing to bring me up as a well behave and polite child.

Yes I've improved a lot compared to myself when I was a schoolboy. But life is always about improvement. I am now someone who rarely use profanities. Now I wanna be someone, who doesn't uses profanities. Not even the mild ones.

I'll just have to think of alternatives then... :D

POMPELE!

POMPIANG!

(:D))

*thank you SNSD for letting me learn a lesson today. Watching one episode which take one hour of my precious study week time, is DEFINITELY WORTH IT!
* YoonA, I'll promise to be a better man. I'm YOUR MAN! ^.^

2012 New Year Resolution

Really I'm not the kind of guy who writes down my New Year Resolution (nor do I really have one yearly!). But making one for this coming year, well... At least I try?

Ok. Here they are. They aren't specifically high standards though. But achievements nonetheless!

1. Learn guitar
2. Graduate peacefully
3. Be more mature (that's a bit subjective. Haha!)
4. Get ripped (Oh oh oh! 6 packs!)
5. Practice and play the piano more often, learning more songs. Learn 4-5 new songs for the year(depends. If I'm super free, 10 would also be easy)
6. Do not ever be as dumb as year 2011, where you put your one year waiting for 2 girls who doesn't give a shit to what happen to you. BE SMART!
7. Be more proficient in English, wheter it's speaking and writing. In other words, READ MORE!
8. Learn and brush up Korean. You can only take up to 2 levels. That last level, well could probably sums up to your own.
9. Try not to get into any traffic mistakes... :)
10. Learn how to be more time cautious and be more time management. Time is the essence. Discipline is THE KEY.

'''~~~Good Bye 2011 & Welcome 2012~~~'''

:)

Though the fact that I have been single and never been in a relationship, that doesn't mean I'm gay nor "Bi".

I am a normal guy, who DOES get attracted to girls.

Every now and then, when I have no one on my mind, like the current situation me (means no crush or liking towards anyone) writing this post, I always think of the requirements and qualities I set into choosing a girlfriend. And of course keep on reviewing it...

But as I have stated before here, you can state as much as many requirements you can. But when the right one comes, and when you really really like him or her, you tend to ignore the requirements you set.

What I would really like to say here, in this post, is rather a finding of my own self. A finding of myself, towards the tendency of girls that attract me... Haha! NO JOKE!

Well I have been in crushes with girls.... since standard 6 I think. Well standard 6's memory is kinda blurry now, the most I can remember back in form 1. Over the years, crushes come and go, years passed, from secondary school to Matriculation, and then to University, the same and lame old me, still failing to get into a relationship (but still normal as I still like girls LOL).

I've had crushes on many types of girls. Girls that at first, I couldn't find a similarity, a pattern or a trend that makes me have a crush for them. I mean there's gotta be a reason, even one, on why a guy likes a girl.

Well actually I kinda figured out the trend a few days back. Haha. It's like so slow right. And erm, it's not the outer beauty that I'm so "shallow", nor inner beauty (some girls that I have a crush on just makes me regret or say "alamak" at myself after getting over her). It is also not the size of their bosoms, their attitude (attitude is important in choosing a girlfriend, but I'm talking about attraction here~!), or the size of their @ss (get the word?)

Big melons. So what?

One hell of an @ss. So what X 2 ? (self mumbling control control control your..)

I'm also quite astounded by the trend. Although I've been aware of "it" being what I am attracted to, I'm surprised that it has been a trend for all these years.

The answer? simple. And it kinda explains why I use that emoticon alot...

:)

Yes. A smile. HER SMILE!

It's not just the girls that I have crushes on attracts me with their smile. Even the female celebrities that I like, adore, love, and some who did became my celebrity crush also have beautiful smiles that melt away one's heart.

I would of course like to post the photos of the girls that I did crushed on since form one until now to really justify my point, but it's kinda their personal photos and using one's photos without permission is... well not that good. But to those who really did know me, even if you did just know one crush of mine, you've gotta admit that their smile are just too... argh... SWEET!

It doesn't matter though, whether their teeth are straight or not. It's just that when they smile or laugh, they never or seldom close their mouth. They laugh out loud, showing their teeth, whether perfect or not, still feels attractive to me... :)

Used to be celebrity crush - Linda Chung :) Love her smile

Current girl that got me over my heels surely has the most beautiful smile I've ever seen. She's truly an angel from heaven.. OH~~~!!!!

TADAAA~! IT'S HER!

The angel that fell from Heaven

Told ya her smile is perfect~


When you google Yoona on Google Images, most of the time you'll always find her with a smile

Laugh out Loud, and melt my heart ~!


Y U Pout lips Yoongie~~~?

So that also kinda explains why I LUURVE YoonA and not Seohyun. Although Seohyun is indeed pretty, has really good inner and outer beauty (you'll know if you've watched "We Got Married" really a perfect wife to have), I'd still choose YoonA over her...

Also pretty, and angelic

But her smile will always come second to...

My Yoongie~~~ :)

So it is proven, and published hereby, on the 29th of December 2011, 1.11am local time (+8 Singapore, Kuala Lumpur)

That I, am attracted, very much, to a woman's sweet smile. :)

;)

K-pop - Rising Music Genre

Classical. Jazz. Traditional. Rock n Roll. Pop.

Music. What it was. What it has become. What it will be. It changes at a drastic pace. Genres are even more than the one's mentioned above.People from the older generations, our grandfathers, ancestors, probably never did not R&B. And maybe our fathers and mothers don't even regard rap as an alternative music genre. Alternative? HAHA! R&B has since became one of the main music genres of today's music. Not to even mention club hits which are fast rising meteorically.

Davichi. Man their voices are AWESOME!

I don't know how many you guys out there listen to music，or songs. For me, I NEVER pass a day without a song. It's almost impossible to even imagine a day without music. Even if that dreaded day come, I'll just sing with my own voice to make sure my days are never MUSIC-LESS.

And again, I don't know what genres you guys prefer either. But from what I see, apart from English pop songs, most people are also affectionate towards pop songs of their own mother tongue. Expected. But do you guys ever have an additional preferance? Or should I say an alternate genre of preference? A genre that, makes you special from the rest?

CN BLUE. Rock band style :)

Classicals are awesome. Opera is also good too. I'm proud to say that I'm a big fan of Il Divo. I know pretty much of their song lyrics, although most of them are in Spanish or Italian I-Don't-Know.

But one specific genre that I would like to highlight here, is actually K-Pop

Yes. K-pop or Korean Pop. I started to get infected when I liked this one girl. Yeah before that I did heard a few songs from TVXQ and Wonder Girl's Nobody, but they never left an imprint or got me intoxicated. But the first song that I really paid attention to the lyrics and the melody was Lee Seung Gi's "Will You Marry Me".

Maybe it all started out in how to win her heart. I admit I kinda despise Korean Music that time. Who are they to reinstate Pop? Who are they to dance and sing in such swagger and style that only the great late Michael Jackson was the one who reigns over the world of Pop? Plastic face. Autotune freaks.

Super Junior. Super singers + Dancers. MJ should be proud :)

So you can imagine how hard it is to listen to a Korean song at first. A song in a language I never knew at all. Maybe a genre I never even considered as a genre. A genre that I never did cared. A genre that I thought why even people think it's a genre. I youtubed Lee Seung Gi's "Will You Marry Me".(because that song was on her msn's "playing now").

Music starts. OWH! HORRIBLE! OMG! I CAN'T STAND IT....

But I ended up asking her for her favourite songs. It almost ended that way. Having a list of recommended songs from a girl you like in a messaging history.

Days passed. I never did have the urge or feel to further investigate the songs she recommended.

Until one day, I came across SS501's "Deja Vu" and "Ur Man" unintentionally. I don't know why this 2 songs actually injected some antibody towards my detest towards K-pop. So I re-listen to "Will You Marry Me". 1st time. Hey not as bad as it sounded. 2nd time, wow, actually quite nice. 3rd time, google lyrics. Hell that's sweet. The rest is history. That was how I went from hate to love.

SS501. The first injection of truth and acceptance

Since then, K-pop has become my main genre in music. Yes. My secondary genre is English Pop. Heck I never did update myself with Chinese Pop, unless Jay Chou or Lee Hom.

I found a genre, that offers songs with awesome bass beats, "move like Jagger" dance moves, catchy tunes, awesome ballads, lovely and "melt your heart" or "break your heart to pieces" lyrics. Gone were those negative points I once had for K-pop.

Maybe some of you may claim that I went K-pop crazy because of that girl that changed me. I wonder how true was that myself too. But almost one month ago, after knowing that she already had a boyfriend, I started asking myself. Will I stop K-poping? Will K-pop be the reason that I will never let go of he? Should I continue K-poping?

After sometime, the truth came. She was just one of the girls that made my heart skipped a beat. Yes and got me to listen what I hate in the first place. But it was not the reason on why I fell in love with K-pop. Yes I took Korean at first because of her too. But now I wanna learn Korean to sing my favourite K-pop songs, and actually use it to communicate.

BRING THE BOYS OUT~!

I know it is very hard to make someone to like a song sung in a language that they don't even know. So I can't help it if people hate K-pop like me in the first place. So maybe that's why Chinese will always support Mandarin pop. Indians will always be stuck with Bollywood. But what I have seen K-pop do is, growing and rising in such a rate, that many singers and groups has gone global, performing in countries like U.S, U.K, Brazil, where peple there don't even speak or know a damn word in Korean. Ask yourself. How many Asian artistes can perform in their own mother tongue in concerts where people pay to hear you sing in a language they don't even understand?

Yes. Maybe I'm biased. I have long forsaken the future of Mandarin pop. They only sing. They only know ballads. Only a handful are band groups. They are way behind in terms of international standard and global domination. It seems harsh. But please correct me, the day when a mandarin singer/ group that will actually stir up a storm like SNSD.

SNSD. Girls Generation. Global Icons

Maybe to went head over heels over her, was a mistake. But to have went gaga because of her and then to fall in love with K-pop was one of the best thing I never knew what I was missing all this time.



*peace music lovers :)
