RIng Ding Dong: SHINee's Evolution?

Another quick escape from dissertation!! My boys, SHINee’s comeback performance was aired a couple of hours ago and I’m here to share it with you guys! Ring Ding Dong is the name of the song and they came back with a rebel image. I didn’t really get hooked on the song at first but after watching it with the performance, it’s kinda cool!


However, I still have to agree that the lyrics are so random. It’s supposed to be a song of confession to a girl whom you’re crazy in love with but there are words such as ‘ring ding dong’, ‘rocka’ and ‘elastic’! ‘Ring ding dong’ could possibly be the expression of showing how haywire your brain gets after falling for the girl but I don’t really get the purpose of the word ‘rocka’…and ‘elastic’??? What is so elastic about falling crazily in love? I don’t even wanna go there. Sounds kinda perv! ROTFL!~


But, I’m loving their energetic performance as usual although I’m not so sure about Taemin’s overall image. He seriously needs to lose the hair and the oversized bolero. Key’s hair reminds me of DBSK’s Micky in Mirotic. Onew’s hair is like DBSK’s Yunho’s hair in My Destiny, minus the colour and my beloved Minho’s hair is kinda like Yunho’s when it was long! I’m sensing similar hairstylists here.. Hehe~


Their dance moves are awesome as usual and Minho’s rap part just sent me flying~ LOL!~ I love the red and black concept but I’m missing their colourful image back then already. There’s not much of Michael Jackson’s influence in their songs anymore and it’s kinda good for them in a way that people will not associate SHINee with Michael Jackson any longer.


I’m gonna stop with the words right now and instead, I’ll provide you guys with their live performances since their debut until now… You’ll be the judge~


Debut song, ‘Noona, You’re So Pretty~

There you have it. I’m sure you guys are going to agree with me that these boys have grown up! I’m going to continue following these boys and I am hoping that they’ll come out with a ballad song soon because all of them have outstanding voices! Can’t believe it? Here’s a bonus for you guys… A song called ‘In My Room’ from their first album performed by the 3 vocalists of the group, Onew, Jonghyun and Key. Enjoy!

P/S: One thing you’ll notice is that these boys really go for skinny jeans all the way! I wish I look good in skinnies like these chaps!^^ LOL!~

MV Marathon... SUPER!!!!

Hey peeps!~ I'm finally back...but not for long though~ T_T ~

I've been busy with my dissertation and I can promise you guys that I won't be able to escape from the shield of 'Mr. Dissy' for a loooong time, well at least until next month. I'm super glad that Steve Ansell, my tutor accepted my 1st chapter and I'm currently editing my 2nd and 3rd chapter. If things go right, I'll start my 4th chapter next week, InsyaAllah~ In the mean time, I'll be burried under tonnes of books, articles and journals!!! And the bad news is..... this blog will be on hiatus again.. Urgh~ Poor my baby....

Well, the purpose of this sudden entry in my current super-duper busy days is inevitable. The reason? I woke up super early this morning and check on the updates on the internet as usual and I was super overjoyed to know that my sweetheart, Taeyang of Big Bang has released his MV for his intro song, "Where U At?"!!!!! Wooooooot!!! Just the mentioning of it makes my heart jumping in super mode! ROTFL~

And to add to that, my current favourite super girl group, f(x) has also released the MV for the song "Chocolate Love" which is a promotional song for LG CYON handphone, Chocolate! Gahh~~ What a good way to start my day! I'm a bit upset though that the screentime of my super beloved Amber is super few! Urgh!~ Well in case you guys don't know, Amber, the tomboyish girl from f(x) is my latest KPOP super crush!~ Heehee~~~ *melts* (A note to everyone: Don't worry, I'm still super straight.. Hahahaha!~ It's just that I think Amber is super hot!! Hehe~)

SNSD, another girl group from the same company, SM Entertainment (which is gaining haters at the moment for being super inhumane to their artists), is also endorsing the same phone. Their version of "Chocolate Love" MV is also released today! Super YIPPIEEEE!!!!!!!!

So, without further a due, I'm going to unleash you guys into a marathon of these MVs... Enjoy!

First up is "Chocolate Love" by f(x). This song has an injection of a retro pop style, just the way I like it! Hehe~ Their image is kind of bold and sexy here...I'm sure guys are going to drool over this!~^^ Check out my super hot Amber... I'm sure you guys can recognise the only boyish one in the MV and in case you guys can't, she's the one who raps! Super cool!!!

Next is SNSD's version of "Chocolate Love"! I'm loving this version more that the one by f(x). It sounds and looks more classy and stylish... Another super treat for the guys!

And last but not least, a treat for the girls..more for myself actually~ Hehe~ Taeyang's "Where U At?"!!! I'm loving everything of it, the super dark atmosphere, the super ghetto setting, the super awesome song plus Taeyang's super soulful voice, super great dance and super sexy abs.. Hehehehe~ Taeyang FTW! Hands down! Check out the piano intro of his next promotional song, "Wedding Dress" at the end of the MV~ Let the MV do the talking... Here goes~

So, there you go... the three eye+ear candies that made my day today started off superawesomely! Got to go now... "Mr. Dissy" is calling me! T_T See you guys...not so soon~~~

P/S: Just got back from class and found out that my super adorable (not anymore) boys, SHINee have come out with a teaser for Ring Ding Dong!! SUPER AWESOMENESS!!!! Check it out!

Roller-coaster: A Compilation of Events~

Today has been a really challenging day for me I must say. To start with, I can’t sleep last night because most of my teddies are gone! T_T ~ I’ve shipped all of them back home. I thought I was going to be fine but it turned out that I can’t actually sleep without my precious Esu-J (a combination of Eric, Junsu and Crown J… LOL!~ My Kpop sweethearts~). In the end, I only managed to sleep at 6am!


I woke up to a phone call from my mummy!!~~ Now that’s a super wonderful thing to start a day with! Hee~~ We only chatted for a while and after that I decided to do my laundry……and that’s when my ‘challenging’ day started. I don’t know what the problem with all the washing machines here is but I actually have to switch washing machines TWO times because they didn’t work. That was such a waste of money and detergent!!! Urrgh~


After that I went to withdraw my money and guess what??!!! I didn’t get any money out plus my debit card!!! The effing cash machine swallowed my card!!! Dia telan kad aku beb!!! Tak cukup kenyang ke telan kad2 before this? And to make things worse, I’m going for my Euro trip tomorrow! T-O-M-O-R-R-O-W!!! (It should be in a few hours actually since it’s already past midnight..lol) To tell you the truth, I felt like crying my heart out! I called Fizah and she came and we called the bank yada yada yada~~~ ( I don’t feel like talking about it..seriously!) and it was settled, only that the new freaking card will arrive on the 11th of August!! By that time, I’ll already be in Austria!! Now, I have to trouble Nadhia and transfer my money into her account because she’ll be traveling along with me. All my transactions will be done by Nadhia. Looking at the bright side, it’s a good thing actually, because Nadhia is a good budget planner. LOL!~


I went back into my room when everything was settled only to realize that I was HUNGRY!!! It was 5pm and I hadn’t eaten anything! Syaz suddenly called me over and gave me some food. It turned out that she cooked a lot and she couldn’t finish them. Just what I needed!! FOOD!! Hee~~


In the end, I would really, really like to thank my housemates for helping me through the day. Thanks Fizah for going through the trouble of calling the bank and settling the problems with the card (I couldn’t even call the bank because I was on the verge of crying… Hehe~). Thanks Nadhia for allowing me to transfer my money into your account for the holiday and thanks Syaz for the yummy food!! Hee~ Owh, how will I live without you guys here~ LOVE YOU GUYS BIG TIME!!!!!!!!!!! SARANGAHAE!!!!!


All I can do is to be patient for the time being. I know it’s challenge from Allah~^^ SMILE & CHEER UP!~~~~ Heeeeee~~~ I’m sure things are going to be fine after this~~~


Okay, let’s move on.. Since I will be gone for more than 2 weeks, this post is going to be a looooooong one.. Hehehe~


DREAM (SBS DRAMA)
I’m currently following a Korean drama called ‘Dream’. It’s already on its 4th episode now and I have to abandon it for a while since I’ll be going off. To sum up the plot, it’s actually a drama about the making of an amazing boxer who was once a pickpocket. I have to admit that sports dramas are not my cup of tea but the reason for me watching this drama is……. KIM BUM!!!!

Don't you just love him?? HEE~^^

Yup! Another precious Korean darling of mine! Heee~ He is such a sweet thing~~ And just by watching him say ‘Hi’ and ‘Good Morning’ in the drama can make me curled up on my bed already.. LOL!~ Another reason to watch this drama is the debut appearance of Son Dambi, the singer/dancer as an actress. Her acting is okay and I’m not surprised if I see her acting in more dramas in the future.


P/S: Marco is also starring in the drama~~ Watching Son Dambi and Marco in a drama just reminds me of them in We Got Married (a reality show~)!

SHIPPING
Yesterday, a group of us sent some of our stuffs here back to Malaysia! Haih~~ How time flies… 4 more months to go and then… Home Sweet Home!!! LOL!~ I sent 2 large boxes which includes a lot of storybooks, handbags, shoes, souvenirs and my beloved TEDDIES!!! T_T


As I’ve mentioned above, I miss my Esu-J and last night was the first time sleeping without him! Luckily Junju (Junsu Jr. lol~) is here~~ At least I still have him to hug every night. Poor my teddies because for the next 3 months, the stuffy boxes will be their home.. No worries children.. Mummy is coming home!!! And that goes to my babies as well.. Note that ‘babies’ here means my handbags and shoes.. LOL!~

Esu-J... Mummy will miss you!! T_T

My three darlingtons during the nights: Esu-J, Junju and my red cushion~


Esu-J in his temporary home... A BOX!


Esu-J is in this box... T_T

My 2 boxes~

Boxes from House 12~

K.I.S.S
I came across this video here and I couldn’t stop replaying it! I finally found the making of the commercial starring my Taiwanese definition of a sexy hunk, Wilber Pan *melts* and Lee Hyori, one of Korean great female singers and *cough*sexy queens*cough*! LOL~ The highlight of this commercial…… They kissed!!!!! And they have to do it for ten takes to make it look nice! Eff you Mr. Director!!! Luckily, I like Lee Hyori. If not… I can guarantee that there’s gonna be a lot more sensored words in this post! LOL!~ Enjoy the video!

FOOD!
As some of you might know, whenever I’m having my periods, I just can’t be separated from the kitchen.. Hehehehe~~~ I’ll be in the mood of cooking, experimenting new recipes and then fattening myself! Heee~~ Just a few days ago, I went straight to the kitchen at midnight just to make a homemade ‘kerisik’! (don’t know what it’s called in English) LOL!~ As you know, making kerisik is not easy as we have to spend hours stirring desiccated coconut~ I don’t know what has got into me that time.. Hehehe…

Stirring desiccated coconut~

The end product... Looks more like serunding~
The reason: The desiccated coconut were bought from a supermarket and they added some kinda chemical in it...

I've also made Japanese Curry~ Hee~

This month, my ‘food-mood’ during my periods are desserts! I don’t know why but I have spent days stuffing myself with chocolates, muffins, doughnuts, ice-creams and Fizah’s homemade ‘Pengat Pisang’. There was a time when I’ve run out of sweet food and resulted in eating BAKING CHOCOLATE!! ROTFL!~ I was THAT desperate! Hehehe~

Syaz bought me this doughnut and I ate it while watching 'Tantei Gakuen Q'~

P/S: I’m even enjoying some ice-creams while writing this post! LOL! Thanks Syaz!! ^^ I guess she really is my food feeder~ Hehe~

HOLIDAY
I’m finally going on my summer holiday!!~~ Yipppiieeeee!!!~~~ For the next 17 days, Me, Nadhia, Syaz, Suhaimi, Unie, Tirah, Moon and a bunch of other Malaysians around UK will go on a Euro Trip together! I’m sure it’s gonna be a lot of fun! We’ll be going to London tomorrow morning and after that, we’ll be off to Belgium, Holland, Germany, Austria, Italy, Switzerland and France! Yay!!!~~

I really don't know how to travel light huh? LOL~

I’m sure gonna miss my laptop a lot because my laptop has been my main source of entertainment since I came to England. Looks like I have to abandon all my Korean sites and be held back from updates for the next 17 days! Haih~ I can’t take ditching the KPop world when DBSK’s lawsuit issues are hot topics at the moment! Oohhhhh.. give me strength!


Anyway, my ice-cream is finishing. I’m gonna get a second helping now! LOL!~ Hope you peeps can pray for our safe trip!!! See you in 17 days!! Bye!!~~~ XOXOXOXOXOXO

Ooooooh... Syaz just came in with my second bowl of ice-cream!!! Gonna indulge myself!~

Daaaa~~

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

Heyya peeps~

This will be a very, very short post… Ning Baizura (yep, Ning Baizura the singer) posted this link on her Facebook page and it was hilarious!!! I LOLed so much until my tummy ached! XD Hihihi~ That’s why I decided to share this with u guys~


It’s ‘Twinkle Twinkle Little Star’ sung in various Indian desi styles. Some of you might have seen it before. I gotta say that I really respect the lady because she can pull off different styles awesomely! Tabik spring kat makcik tu!!~ My favourite is the Punjabi style~ Watch the video till the end because there’s also a version of ‘Jack and Jill’ which I think is the funniest of them all!! LOL!~ Enjoy!!!~~~


P/S: Specially dedicated to my friends who are struggling with their dissertation. Hope this can give you guys some chillaxing in between.

MAUT~

Don’t be stunned by the title, it’s just that moi, Nadhia and Fiza just had the opportunity to watch the film ‘Maut’ last night although it was released in Malaysia in January this year. Yelah, nak buat mcm mane dah duduk jauh kan? Thanks to Nadhia yg memang banyak access to filem-filem Malaysia nih (movies from Indonesia, Thailand pun dia byk dpt~ hehehe)…. I just HAVE to do a review of this movie after watching it (walaupun lambat 6 bulan…hihihi)…… and pardon me, I will be using a 'rojak' language here because I believe some of the expressions are better conveyed using Bahasa Melayu.

So basically, the movie comprises of three different stories. The first story starts with 2 girls who don’t know each other, Su and Fadilah, on a bus. Su then got off the bus and went home. She was doing her work when she suddenly heard a whispering voice calling her name and the voice greet her with a ‘salaam’ (seram giler part ni gua ckp lu.. bulu roma mmg gerenti tegak terpacak mcm lepas pakai Brylcream yg Azar dok promote kat blog dier..huhu). Okay, moving on~ Su opened the door and saw the girl from the bus (Fadilah). Fadilah said that she has been a victim of snatched theft at the bus stop and she has no money to go to her aunt’s house. Su, being a super-oh-so-nice-and-innocent girl let Fadilah in and asked her to sleepover for the night and promised that she’ll send Fadilah to her aunt’s house the next morning.


The thing is, I know la benda ni cite kan, tp logic la sket beb. Firstly, ko dah dgr ada suara bisik2 kat telinga ko. Then, ko bukak pintu, ko nampak budak pompuan atas bas tu terpacak kat depan umah ko. Logically, dah la budak tu turun kat stop yg lain dpd ko, so how on earth does she know where you live?! And ko dgn sesuka hatinya ajak dia tido plak kat umah ko. Haisy~I’m gonna speak no more of the storyline. Enough to say that YES, Fadilah was a HANTU and she seeked for Su’s help to find her body which was raped and murdered.


My opinion on this first story….. I HATE the dubbing! Tak logik langsung. I know la filem Malaysia ni kurang budget but the actors have to be realistic jugak la time buat dubbing tu. Just imagine, you’re on top of a stairs and you are talking to your girlfriend who is down the stairs but the intonation tu mcm ko tgh ckp dgn org kat sblah ko. The next thing is, the actors don’t look natural when acting (except for Raja Farah. She’s good!). Bak kata Nadhia, dorg ckp dialog tu mcm tgh kena assess time ujian lisan BM for SPM..LOL!!! Believe it or not, pakcik pelakon extra yg jadi polis tu pun lagi natural lakonannya~ LOL! All I all, the plot is definitely predictable for the first story and there’s no part in the story which gives me goosebumps except for the part where the ghost whispers to Su.


The second story revolves around a Muslim woman yg dah terpesong akidahnya and she is married to a white guy. Her lifestyle does not represent her religion at all until one day in the month of Ramadhan when she realised that she has been living a sinful life. She was on the way to perform the tarawikh prayers when she collapsed in front of the mosque. She went into a comma for three days and during that period she experienced a nightmare where she got her punishments for all the sins she made. I gotta say that I love this part of the story! Walaupun menakutkan, tp at the same time menginsafkan. Alhamdulillah~ The presentation was so vivid and I gotta give double thumbs up for the CGI. Quoting Fiza, “kalau aku jadi pelakon pompuan ni, sah aku insaf pakai tudung terus lepas berlakon scene tu”.


Despite all the scenes yg menginsafkan tu, this second story does give me a shock! I can’t believe that FINAS approved the words ‘s**t’, ‘b****rd’ and ‘d**khead’! Boy, are you freaking serious?! I mean, if this is a Hollywood film, I wouldn’t even care but to think that this is a Malaysian movie… Hmmmphh~~ And what’s more surprising is that the scenes of the ‘stag party’ and ‘hen party’ are also approved! Whoaaa~~ During the stag party, the actor actually bared the upper half of his body while dancing with DRAG QUEENS and at the hen party, the actress was blindfolded and then she was given a BANANA to lick!!! PISANG BEB!! You know what I mean kan?!! *naughty thoughts heh?* LOL! Seriously speaking, I have no idea that Malaysian movies have gone as far as this… Bukan nak tipu la, but sepanjang scene tu mmg aku istighfar je~


Macam the first story, ade jugakla scenes yg tak logik dalam cite no 2 nih. Firstly, time pelakon pompuan tu kuar from ER, she still pakai telekung lagi~ Takkan la nurse tak tukarkan baju dia? Hmmpphh~~ Next, there was a scene where the actors supposed to be drinking wine tp wine dia tu tak nampak real~ Macam air sirap je~ Kalau standard kat UK yg takde air sirap nih, air tu nampak mcm blackcurrant cordial yg Fiza slalu minum… hehehe~. I have to agree with Nadhia sbb dia ckp kalau pakai air Ribena pun nampak lagi real kot!~ ROTFL!!~~ But still, I applaud the director for portraying the reality in Malaysia right now. Name je negara Islam, tp ramai yg hidup mcm tu~ Quoting dialog pelakon pompuan dalam cite ni “…Islam hanya pada nama”.


Moving on to the third and last story… I would say that out of the three stories, this one is our favourite!!! The cast ensemble was great and their acting was superb. Just imagine, in one story you have actors like Fauziah Nawi, Que Haidar, Eja, Ridzuan Hashim and last but not least… MY Awal Ashaari *melts*…. Yes, it deserves a repetition, MY Awal Ashaari *melts again* .. LOL!~ To keep it short, this story is basically about a group of black-metal-worshippers-teenagers who went to a black metal concert on the the eve of Eid. Takde keje btol bdk2 nih~ Malam raya org pegi takbir, dorg pegi konsert plak. Tolong mak pasang langsir kat umah lagi bagus. Cet~


So yeah, they went to the concert and on the way back they met with an accident. Only two people survived and yup.. MY Awal’s character died! T_T (geram btol~ I was thinking of seeing more of him in the movie walaupun die nampak cam budak black metal yg hampes~). Being the lead of the third story, Que Haidar’s character survived but again…like in the second story, fell into a deep comatose where he had a flashback of his childhood and then the ghost of his childhood haunts him. Seriously cakap la, memang tak menakutkan langsung~ hehehe… He died soon after and then came part yg menginsafkan~ Masa jenazah dia dimasukkan dalam kereta jenazah, empat2 tayar kereta tu pancit~ Then, time nak kebumikan, lahad dia penuh dgn air. Lepas dikebumikan pun tanah kubur dia hari2 mendap. Kenapa benda ni jadi? Faham2 sendiri la. Renung2 kan la ye.. Buatla muhasabah diri sikit.


My review on this last story would be… This is the only part of the whole movie where I can see real acting from every cast. I’m not being biased because MY Awal is in it. Trust me! Satu benda je la yg aku tak puas hati (this will sound a bit personal..haha)… Muka MY Awal tu dah cun2 hensem habes dah~ Tak bleh terima la bile tgk muka die kene calit dgn foundation yg tak sesuai dgn skin tone dia! Eyeliner pun mengalahkan Cleopatra beb! LOL!!! Kesian MY Awal~


Story yg last ni pun buat kitorg terkejut gak sebab scene konsert black metal tu mmg aku tak leh nak hadap. Macam tu la agaknyer situasi kat konsert2 black metal ni kot~ Skinship dia mmg melampau! Ada satu part tu, sepasang couple ni mmg sket je lagi nak comolot dgn lahapnyer.. (pardon my words there~). My Awal dgn Que Haidar tu pun dgn tanpa segan silunye memeluk Nana AF and Sherry Ibrahim dgn terlampaunyer. Taula nak feeling berlakon tp agak2la sket~ Dialog dalam cite no 3 ni pun tersangatla beraninyer. Tak payah la tulis kat sini ape dialognye. Gerun nak tulis, “Kalau silap2 sebut ni boleh murtad” (Nadhia 2009). Seriously! Hopefully pelakon2 cite ni byk2la bawak mengucap lepas berlakon~


Lastly, I would say that this movie is worth watching. For people yang boring tahap gaban during the first story, just hang in there a little bit because the stories just keep getting better towards the end. Congrats to Bade Hj. Azmi because he managed to come out with a movie yg sarat dgn mesej. My disappointment of this movie will be a few technical flaws yg buatkan filem ni kadang2nye nampak tak logik. Dengan penuh confidentnyer, I’ll give this movie 3/5 stars. Ok la~~ I’m hoping to see better Malaysian movies in the future.


P/S: Lepas ni nak tunggu cite ‘Skrip 7707’ plak. Dengar cite promotion die gempak giler. 9 cerita hantu dalam satu filem (mmg trend ek buat byk2 cite hantu skrg nih?). Ada 35 pelakon yg hebat katenye… Lagila tak sabar nak tgk. Mane taknye, filem ni kuar same tarikh dgn Harry Potter kat Malaysia tp kutipan jualan dia lagi tinggi dpd Harry Potter! Biar betik??!!


P/P/S: I’m in my absolute blogging mood today~ I plan to post 3 entries in a row! LOL!~ Wait for it~
