There are many great English Songs that have been released this year. We have Bruno Bars, Katy Perry, Kings of Leon, The Maine, Justin Bieber (you can't forget this guy~) and even Micheal Jackson.
My family and I went to KK on the 25th December 2010 (Christmas Day!) until 30th December 2010.
What did we do there?
The normal things - shopping, eating, watching movie. ^^
Well, mostly me and my mom went for shopping. They guys, which are my dad and my two brothers do not fancy shopping.
I spend around RM 200 for my own things. ^^
Among the shopping complexes in KK, I prefer City Mall. Although City Mall do not have a variety of choices compared to Centre Point or One Borneo, the price is quite reasonable.
And the place is easier to walk as it is not that huge.
It is easy to find food at City Mall too. There are many food outlets which offer food with reasonable prices. We ate chicken rice at 5 Star Hainanese Chicken Rice Shop. On another day, we ate Sizzling Chicken, Spaghetti, Sizzling Lamb, chicken rice, Cantonese Meehoon at The Hut. Tasty... =)
We stayed at Novotel in One Borneo for a day. I didn't buy many things from here. Just books.
Centre Point is one of the shopping complexes that always has many people. I don't think I need to elaborate more. XD
I was able to watch a 3D movie in a cinema the first time. (Happy... ^^)
Dang! Dang! Dang! Is Tron: Legacy.
However, the 3D parts are not that many. (Maybe because of budget constraint.) =.=
Nevermind, but I hope to watch Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 in 3D too.
Okay, I seriously have to admit that I am in love with BEAST. =)
I first saw them on the day they debuted with Bad Girl. Frankly speaking, I do not like the song Bad Girl, even until now. So that's why I do not pay attention to this group at that time.
Then, they promoted the song Mystery. They managed to 'capture my attention' with their neck-twisting dance. [Whenever I try to imitate their neck-twisting part, my brothers think that I am insane. =.=]
After that, they released their second mini album, Shock to the New Era. I find the song Shock addictive. (Singing: Every day I shock Shock Every night I shock Shock......)
At October this year, they released their third mini-album, Mastermind and promote the song Breath (Soom). I love their 'breathe in, breathe out' dance steps.
And now, they are promoting the song Beautiful, which is in their fourth mini-album, Lights Go On Again. I really love this song to the maximum. Because of this song (So Beautiful My Girl Oh Oh Girl!), I am in love with this group. XP
This is the official Music Video of Beautiful.
I always admire and respect groups or singers that can write and produce songs, whether it is composing the melody or writing the lyrics. (Like Jay Chou, Wang Lee Hom, Big Bang, Taylor Swift etc)
I also found out that BEAST can write their own songs too. Their new digital singles, When the Door Closes, Thanks To and Let It Snow were penned by them. Talented yeh!
I also watched BEAST Almighty and Idol Maid. My friend, who is a k-pop addict too, introduced these shows to me. I didn't watch all the episodes though. Hehe... ^^
But thanks to her, I know more about the members' personality offstage.
I followed them since the day they debuted but I only find them 'lovable' recently. Weird, but true.
So, here is a brief description of each members.
Let's start with the leader, Yoon DuJun.
DuJun (DooJoon) was born in July 4, 1989 and is the eldest in the group. He was a trainee in JYP Entertainment. During one of the auditions for JYP Ent, he was in third place. This enabled him to enter a variety show, Hot Blood with other fellow trainees. He was up against Jo Kwon (one of the 2AM members now), a trainee for 7 years in JYP. However, he was eliminated and he later joined his current company, the Cube Entertainment.
He is currently filming MBC's sitcom, All My Love, along with Ga-in of Brown Eyed Girls and Jo Kwon.
He loves to do body gags (weird and funny actions). He loves to play games too. (Guys anyway...) He once lied to his manager that he was going to the convenient store but in the end he went to a nearby cyber cafe to play games. (Tssk, tssk...) Even his tweets are about games. ^^
Now, let's move on to Jang HyunSeung.
HyunSeung is the second eldest in the group. He was born in September 4 1989. He was eliminated from Big Bang in the ninth episode if their documentary.
Next is Yong Jun Hyung.
Jun Hyung was born in December 19 1989. He is the rapper in BEAST. In my opinion, he is a good rapper. But he kind of reminds me of G-Dragon (leader of Big Bang). Maybe it is because of their charisma they shown on-stage.
He was first debuted with the group XING. I don't know what is the reason for the group to disband. But I think he is way better in BEAST. I watched one of the XING's music videos and he hardly had any screen time.
By the way, most of his rapping parts are written by himself. (Talented guy~)
He rapped for HyunA's Change and G.NA's I'll Back Off So You Can Live Better.
Yang Yo Seob, the main vocalist.
Yo Seob was born in January 5 1990. (Oh~ He has the same birthday date as my friend. Just knew it after searching information about him.)
He has great vocals. Due to his baby face, he is always mistaken as the youngest in the group. He loves to act cute too. =)
And I think he is interested in IU. ㅋㅋㅋ (Ke ke ke...)
He has a duet with Dalmation's Drama - First Snow, First Kiss.
Next is Lee Gi Kwang.
Gi Kwang or Ki Kwang (I am also not sure which one) was born in March 30 1990. He debuted as a solo artist with the name AJ before. He promoted the song Dancing Shoes as AJ. Although I am not that interested in abs, I can't deny he has a great body.
He is good in dancing. And he is currently involved in Hot Brothers, a variety show. Anyway, he is funny.
Last but not least, Son Dong Woon, the maknae (youngest member) in the group.
Dong Woon was born in June 6 1991. He was a trainee in JYP Entertainment too. (I really wonder why JYP didn't consider them~ Hmmm...)
He is quite close with Key of SHINee, Nicole of KARA and JinWoon of 2AM. They are the 91-ers.
He has a duet with Davichi's Minkyung - Udon.
- I bet you guys already know that DuJun is my bias in BEAST. Since his description is the longest. Hehe... XD
BEAST really thought me a lesson. When they first debuted, I am quite doubtful with this group as most of the members were eliminated from other companies. But they proved me wrong.
And everytime they brought up this subject, I felt ashamed of myself. Which is why now I will not comment about a group's abilities. =)
I also hope that they get enough rest. Their dark circles under the eyes are so obvious.
All the best! Hwaiting!
* BEAST is coming to Malaysia on January 13th 2011 with 4Minute and G.NA. And I know I have no chance to go. =.=
P.S. Writing this post makes me feel guilty, as if I am betraying SHINee. Haha... Jk, jk... =)
Death is totally unpredictable. No one can predict its arrival.
There is a saying that death is the beginning of another life. But death is just so cruel. It leaves people with buckets of tears, tons of past but not future memories and a few days or maybe even months and years of lost and uncertainty.
Which is why I think those who commit suicide are out of their minds. They should be grateful that they have a prefect life. [There are many who want to have a life but are not that fortunate.]
Suicide is an act of selfishness. (I am not saying that I am high and mighty without a sense of selfishness.)
But just because there are some downs in the life, one wants to commit suicide. (Is this acceptable?!!) Well, maybe they think that suicide is the only solution to their problems.
I wonder if these people ever think of the feelings of their loved ones if they are gone. They don't know how suffering it is.
And I also don't get why an 'announcement' should be made to the public regarding the 'suicide plan'. Furthermore, some people even think that suicide is a heroic act. (I wonder what had this society become...) Suicide is definitely not something a hero would do.
* Those who want to commit suicide should read Harry Potter. Harry Potter lost his parents when he was young. During his years in Hogwarts, he faces many (x3) challenges and problems. He also lost his godfather, Sirius Black and the most wonderful headmaster of Hogwarts, Professor Dumbledore. However, Harry never think of suicide and he is a hero. (Oopps... I am so out of topic now. Yeah, I know that Harry is just a fictional character. However, his characteristics shown throughout the story should not be taken lightly. There are many moral values can be found from the characters in the story.)
Cherish life. For those who have the thought of committing suicide, forget about it. It will only cause pain and misery to your loved ones.
Cherish life. Appreciate every moments you spend with everyone. Do not take a person for granted. You never know what will happen the very next second.
Well, I actually finished my exams on the 15th (Wednesday). Totally enjoyed myself after that. Hang out with my friends from afternoon until night on the day I finished my exams. ^^
Gonna miss my friends after this~
*Seems like I am quit lazy to blog already. Haha... =)
