MusicUtopia: Xiah Junsu - Incredible

Annyeong..

Who doesn't enjoy music? As for me, my favorite band is Linkin Park (and my favorite Linkin Park member is Mike Shinoda) and I also enjoyed a lot of K-POP songs. Since I lived in Asia, K-POP songs are easier to find compared to English songs, so if you are not Asians, do tell me whatever songs that is 'in' right now at your place. And speaking about Linkin Park, they will make a concert in Malaysia soon (in August 19) and the bad news is I CAN'T GO because:

• I just received the news so got no time to raise money for the event
• I would be still celebrating Raya with my friends

*rolling around in tears TT.TT*

So today I'm going to talk about this awesome song I've just heard. I'm sorry to Junsu's fans because I know that this song was probably released last week, but since I don't really listen to Junsu's song before this, so I just heard this song last night *running full speed to hide under the blanket from the wrath of Junsu's fans*. And I watch this song on YouTube just because it was included in Simon and Martina's K-POP Music Monday (they are SUPER AWESOME people from EatYourKimchi. Check out their website here) since I watch Simon and Martina often and they usually have a great review of a great song.

AND I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED!!!

Dear Xiah Junsu, let me tell you that you have a new fan here. 'Incredible' is one of Junsu's new songs and this is a very great song (and a very great video). There are a lot K-POP videos that are picturing summer time, but none of them are attracting me like Incredible does. I have to say sorry to 2NE1's 'Falling in Love'. Although I like most of 2NE1's songs, but for some reason, Falling in Love is not one of them. I was just thinking that 2NE1 does not matching to Reggae song and the video looks so fake, in term of the beach scenes.

Incredible is a very catchy song, great for summer. I can't really speak or understand Korean, but by just hearing this song, I feel happy and want to dance. And watching this video, I can really see that everyone in the video, from Junsu to all the dancers, are all dancing HAPPILY, thoroughly enjoying themselves, unlike some videos that I-would-rather-not-say-the-title with summer setting, beaches and whatnot, but only the artists are happy, while the dancers are being a Grumpy Cat right behind the artist.

The only thing that I really want to complain is that rap sequence.. What exactly is a 'spaceship candy'? A spaceship carrying candies? For some reason I remembered Aqua's (Aqua is a Danish-Norwegian group from my childhood) 'Lollipop (Candy Man)'.

If you haven't check it out yet, here's Xiah Junsu 'Incredible'.

SisterSquabble: Onion and Chillies

Annyeong..

I really, really like Korean variety show especially the outdoor ones such as Family Outing, Invincible Youth and Running Man. FYI, I only watched Family Outing and Invincible Youth Season 1 since for me, both Season 2 seriously sucks. And if you don’t know about Running Man, shame on you. You missed something really entertaining in your life. Maybe I will do a review on these shows, whenever I’m not too busy.

And I was interested to talk about a phrase commonly used in these variety shows. Ever heard of ‘last life’ or ‘next life’? It means that when you die, you will be reincarnated into something else, depending on how you lived your last life. You don’t have a collection of memories of your last life; however, you do have some skills from your last life. This is shown from Running Man where Kim Jongkook has a special deduction skill that is usually corrects and Yoo Jaesuk said that he (Kim Jongkook) probably was a detective in his past life. As a Muslim, I don’t believe in any past or next life. However, if I do, Cik Keledek predicted that I was an owner of an onion farm and has a bad (probably alcoholic and love gambling) husband.

The reason is whenever I peel or cut an onion, 9 times out of 10 I will CRY NON-STOP. You guys do know that I wear thick glasses, right? And it does nothing to shield my eyes from whatever comes out from the onion that irritates my eyes. And when I did stop crying and start to continue cutting the onion, I will start crying again. Cik Keledek said that I was probably an owner of an onion farm in my past life, and my life was happy until one day, I was married to someone, and he loves to gamble, he gambled away the money I got from the onion sales, and has a lot of debts as a result of his gambling habit. Then, one day, he gave up MY onion farm to clear HIS debts without me knowing. And I got really, really sad and cry everyday to the day I died. And when I reincarnated, I was still sad at the sight of an onion.

I just cut the onion a bit, and ran away crying.. What a sad life, onion..

On the other hand, I predicted Cik Keledek as a chillies farm owner in her past life. Cik Keledek has a very delicate hand that everytime she cuts chillies, she will be left with a very hot sensation in her hands that won’t go away for a long time. I don’t know how to describe this but you know when you cut chillies, sometimes your hands will feel like its burning. I, for some reason, do not feel this often, but Cik Keledek will experience this almost everytime she cooks something related to chillies. So, I predicted that she maybe an owner of a chillies farm (probably near my onion farm), and she live happily with her family there until one day, her farm caught fire and although she tried her very best to save it, the farm was destroyed in a flash. So everytime she cuts chillies, the hot sensation that left on her hand was probably the painful memories of the fire burning her chillies farm.

And this one is Cik Keledek's archenemy.. any types, any colours..

Yeah, we were quite crazy and dorky to come up with such stories. But then, we somehow appreciate the craziness and dorkyness of our siblings to create a crazy story from only our imagination. And I’m not saying that these stupid stories are our only creation *evil smile*. One of the stories that we created left us with the name Cik Pisang and Cik Keledek. I tell you guys the story someday. Cik Keledek will be home next week probably, and I doubt that we will let the week pass without creating another stupid story...hehehehe

MeMyI: Love Story.. and Not-So-Love-Story

Annyeong..

Today is my 3^rd Couple Anniversary with Meow Tompok. And instead of celebrating it together, we were separated by the holiday (and the 400 KM from my house to his). *sobs*. We started dating on 24 July 2010 and today, after 3 years with ups and downs, we still together^^. I don’t really want to tell you guys mushy, sappy stories about us being couple so that you guys don’t puke horrible stuffs and lost appetite for a week.

However, I do remember a stupid video made by a Malaysian girl who talks about being in love and promise to love his boyfriend forever and ever after being couples for A WEEK. Yes, you heard me. A WEEK. And I heard that they did break up because of the video. It is uploaded into YouTube and friends and it become a hit and even converted into memes. If I were her, I probably crawl into the hole of shame and never see sunlight anymore. But that’s me, whose short and fatty bombom and undeniably not beautiful. And the girl in this video, although making a fuss about being in love for a week, is quite pretty...and slim. *double sobs*

So today, I heard an interesting story from Cik Keledek. She told me that there is a girl acting like a psycho in her college. Apparently, this girl is in love with a guy, but that guy already has a girlfriend (let say the girlfriend’s name is A) in the same college. So, instead of giving up and move along, this girl harasses A, sending a lot of notes, including murder threats. Then she upped the ante by harassing A’s friends. Wow, that is SO CREEPY.

I’m asking Cik Keledek, ‘Why is she acting like that? Is the guy so handsome or rich?’ but Cik Keledek never really knows the individuals involved in this matter, she just heard them from her friends. Honestly, I thought that this psycho is probably a girl who knew A personally since she has access to A’s friends. She probably feel that she is not good enough to fight A for the guy’s love, because instead of telling the guy that she loves him, she is now harassing A, the guy’s girlfriend. And of course, she did it anonymously. However, I was just thinking, if someday the covers blows and the whole college knew that the one who’s sending A threats and whatnot is this girl a.k.a the psycho, what would she do? Just crawl into the hole of shame? Stop studying? I’m just thinking that if she was caught, the punishment would be severe because she was harassing and sending murder threats to people. Hmm *thinking deep*

I’m also thinking that if the guy is too handsome or dirt rich that the psycho doesn’t want to let him go. If the guy was as handsome as Omar Borkan Al Gala, then I would personally go to him and ask for a photo together MYSELF (and maybe his signature). Ever heard of Omar Borkan Al Gala? He is the hottest hunk that is said to be banished from Saudi Arabia for being too sexy.

If the guy looks like this, then I think it is worth it to become a psycho in order to get him. However, I’m out of the psycho list since I already have a boyfriend, and we are celebrating our 3^rd Anniversary today. So, I will just go to this guy and ask for a photo TOGETHER... *evil laugh*

MovieMarathon: Turbo (2013)

Annyeong..

Like I said in yesterday’s post, today I’m going to make a review on DreamWorks’ new movie, Turbo.

A nice synopsis taken from tribute.ca (since I’m too lazy to write my own):

A garden snail named Turbo dreams of becoming the world’s fastest snail. However, his fascination and obsession with speed makes him an outsider in his slow snail community and is a constant embarrassment to his older brother Chet, who is always careful.

After a freak accident one day, Turbo realizes he has been given the power of incredible speed and sets out to do the impossible: compete against the best racers IndyCar has to offer. Although Turbo is an underdog, he achieves the impossible when he refuses to let his limitations stop him from reaching his dreams.

WARNING!! THESE PARTS WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS!! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!!

Okay, enough warning. For starters, let’s say that this is an awesome movie. This is not the best DreamWorks movie ever (who can really beat Shrek, Kungfu Panda, and Madagascar series?); however it is still decent enough and offers a lot of funny moments.

I’ve read a lot of reviews that said that this movie is quite similar to Cars and Ratatouille (I think I spelled it right) but since I don’t watch Cars, I can’t really comment on that. However, I do watched Ratatouille, and the only similarities that I can think of is these movies have animals as the main character (garden snail and rat) and they have a family member that oppose their  dream (brother in Turbo and father in Ratatouille). Both Theo (Turbo) and Remy (Ratatouille) have an idol which inspires their dream. Oh, since the main characters of these movies are animals, they have a strong accent human that helps the main character (Mexican in Turbo and French in Ratatouille).

I read a comment on how this movie is illogical, but then who thinks logic in a CARTOON?

Movie logic class from Assoc. Prof. AishaYanna from GrumpyCat University:

• Turbo: A snail that is submerged in a NOS tank will die from lack of oxygen
• Madagascar: A lion that is not kept in a cage in a zoo will eat the zebra and the giraffe and probably the hippo, too
• Kungfu Panda: A panda will never born from a bird, and panda don’t eat a bowl of noodle

Seriously? Hey logic guy, are you Grumpy Cat trying to makes all children in the world cries by making logic cartoon?

I forget to mention that the most memorable line in this movie is simply inspiring:

"No dream is too big, no dreamer is too small"

In conclusion, GET YOUR TURBO ON! This is a great movie; funny, colorful, inspiring. I like this movie a lot, even though it doesn’t make me like snails. For some odd reason, I was reminded of Tamiya cars when they remodel Theo’s shell. And Tamiya cars are awesome, too.

Rating: 4 out of 5

Side note: My favourite characters in this movie are White Shadow and Tito. I usually attracted to big-bellied, funny man and I can’t decide which one I like more. So, I decided to write both. YAY!!

I'm fast, like a shadow! - White Shadow

We are going to do this together, you and me, little amigo! - Tito

MeMyI: Updates on what I've doing now Part 1

Annyeong,,,

After several searches of the most suitable blogskin that fits my blog, I finally settled on this one.. I have to admit that I have to restrain myself from getting a really pink background even though there are a LOT of great PINK background.. Since I think that there are male readers, and reading a pink blog will probably makes people think you are girly or whatnot...

This past weekend Cik Keledek is finally home after 2 months being away from home. Because she is so miserable and cries a lot (that's what Puan Mama said), Tuan Abah is driving her home on Friday, and we spent the night gossiping and listing every food that she misses a lot. This maybe sounds like my little sister is a sissy, but I somehow can understand her. My sister never leaves home before, she spent her life in Johor Bahru for around 17 years of her life (she's 18 now, and the first year of her life is spent in Penang where she was born) and 2 months is probably a long time for her. As for me, I was practically out of house since I was 13 when I went to boarding school in Desaru (90KM from my house). Then I got into a matriculation college in Penang (from south to northern Malaysia) and finally nest in Shah Alam for my University years. I've been away so much that even my neighbors don't really knows me. In conclusion, FOREVER ALONE!

Me in my neighbourhood

We spent Saturday, all day dedicated for SHOPPING. Cik Keledek said that there are no shopping centers near her matriculation college, and there is only a SMALL HYPERMARKET and she misses shopping really much. So off we went to several places, from day markets to shopping centers to hypermarkets. And left us flat broke TT.TT

And that night we invited Mr and Mrs Along (my big brother and his wife) to dinner, and they asked us if we wanted to watch a movie with them. I'm DEFINITELY going to movies ESPECIALLY when somebody said that they will PAY the tickets (EXTRA priority given if the popcorn and drinks are also included =3). And we the kids wants to watch Despicable Me 2 (honestly I already watched this SUPER AWESOME movie, but since Cik Keledek wants to watch this, I'll go by her side). Mr and Mrs Along want to watch Pacific Rim. After several episodes of 'meetings' and 'conversations' (we're too old to be 'bickering' and 'fighting' over a movie), we finally agreed on watching Turbo rather than watching one of the movies of our choices. (In one way or another, I win this battle since we are watching cartoon over robot movie, and Turbo is in my must-watch list, along with Cloudy with a Chance of Meatball 2 and R.I.P.D.. YAY!!!!)

Turbo movie poster

Turbo is AWESOME! It may be second awesome to Despicable Me 2 (since I am Minion biased.. BANANAS!) but still, it's awesome. I'm going to make a review on this fantastic movie, probably tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, depending on mood and my internet. And I want to review an awesome book that I bought yesterday too that I'm not going to tell you guys the title yet *evil smile*

Side note: Do you guys noticed that my blog is a little bit empty right now? There are some blog posts that I have to remove, and some of them are in Bahasa Malaysia which I have to translate first before re-uploading back. Until then, my blog will be like this EMPTY, BARREN LAND *sobs*

MeMyI: Exam is OVER!!!!

Annyeong..

I’m finally free from examination!

And finally home!!

It's time to celebrate!!! *dancing Gangnam Style on the bed*

Actually I’m home from Sunday but I got sick with flu for several days. So now I’m recovered, it’s time to start updating back! For this holiday, I will try my best to update regularly because:

1. Puan Mama does not allow me to work
2. It is Ramadhan, in which we Muslims are fasting so I don’t really wants to go anywhere (I just wants to plop down in front of my laptop playing games and watch movies and watch Running Man, basically just lolling doing nothing)
3. My internet connection at home is great! We have a TM Modem which is considerably fast compared to my broadband (which is great at first, and when your bandwidth finished, you’re basically finished *sob sob*)
4. There is no one hogging the internet, too. Cik Keledek is in Negeri Sembilan*evil grin*

And I got TONNES of things to be written off too. From movies to music to whatever attracting my curiosity, I really wanted to share with you guys. Especially during the last week of exam, I got a lot of things to share but I managed to control myself from surfing internet (as I will be most likely lolling in Facebook for several hours). And I need to reconstruct my blog back. Blogger has updated something and all my header and background are lost so I will be spending some time searching for new header etc etc. Be seeing you guys soon^^
