end of the year

It is already the 27th.
I need to be more efficient and productive.


I really dont feel like associating myself with the number '17'.
It looks dangerous, and old.

Lucky to have two more weeks of holidays before the first day of stepping-into-jc starts
and too bad for those who have to start school next week!
Grab hold of the last few days of freedom. Savour it.
Finish whatever dramas you're watching, whatever fanfics you are reading,
and then make a whole new list of what to do.
To prepare for the new year.
And, also make a record of things you have done this year.
Things you are satisfied with yourself accomplishing,
and things that you are not so satisfied with.

Wake up.
Find your true self, and meaning of life. The meaning of living on this earth.
-------------------------

2012.
Some people say that it will be the end of the world.
I do not believe in that,
but I think that it will mark a major change,
a huge twist in the history of mankind.
Haha, most probably bad things of course.
We've already had signs, since the occurrence of SARS, bird flu, H1N1, indonesia tsunami, Japan China ++ earthquakes,
and lately, the death of KimJongil.
Take that and pair it with a combo of global warming, poverty, pollution, corruption, wars.
These give a hint to what to expect in 2012.
Yeah, it sure is bad.

But things can CHANGE.
What if people stop polluting, stop corrupting, stop the greed, and the successor of NK finally sees what's really best for its people?
Well, these depends on the few big people who plays a part in all these,
and I don't think they will be reading this, or suddenly decide to change for good,
but commoners (:P) like us,
CAN do something.

Start by being a nice person.
A good child to your parents,
A good friend to your friends,
a good student to your teachers,
a good citizen to your country. (YEAH STOP COMPLAINING SINGAPOREANS!)

Spread these good acts around,
I believe it will create some kind of good, positive energy.
Reduce the number of national disasters,
or simply, influencing the people around you to do so,
spreading love, and happiness.
An act of kindness goes A LONG WAY.

:)

HAPPY TODAY!

every day is a happy day.

guilty

Decided to make a list of things which will make me feel guilty.

-when spending money during shopping
-when my mother apologises
-trying not to be bias
-eating too much
-lying
-trying not to betray something/someone

Guilt.
How many of the big evil bullies out there who harms the earth
or start a war
feel that?




HEHE ANW,
THE NOOSE TONIGHT!
BRAND NEW SEASON!

i'm a lazy girl

looking at my previous blogpost,
i noticed again how fast time passes.

it was written more than 10 days ago,
but it felt like it was just a few days.

i did nothing much again.
school is starting in less than a month's time.
am i ready?
i want to experience a new school life,
use my new bag and pencil case :P,
yet at the same time,
i dont want the holiday to end.

i want to be able to eat whatever i want anytime
do whatever i want anytime
sleep whenever i want
play whenever i want.

anw, holiday's the mood for shopping.
i have loads of things on my shoppinglist,
and i enjoy the feeling i get from shopping.
however, it comes with a price.
the fact that you have to pay,
makes me feel even more guilty. :(

hmm

ANW CHRISTMAS IS COMING!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

remember the spirit of giving,
and, chiong at the xmas sales!!

girls; korean pop songs meanings

i have to say that
girls just love dolling themselves up.

:)
because i love to do that too!
from painting of your nails,
to experimenting hairstyles,
to matching your clothes and shoes, and bags (girls seriously have a thing for shoes and bags)
to putting on makeup.

i dont mind spending hours doing them.
because i'm a girl.

---

besides kpop songs being catchy/having beautiful melodies,
the meaning of the song/lyrics are really, well, meaningful!
i mean, for non-koreans like me, i can only listen to the tune, watch the expressions of the singers and the dance moves, with occassional appearance of familiar words from my limited korean vocabulary, to guess and interpret the meaning of the songs.
of course, this is before googling the eng translations of the songs online.

but one amazing thing is that,
watching (eng)subbed musicvideos on youtube
not just only helped me understand the meaning of the song,
it made everything fall in place,
how the meaning fits how it sounds in korean,
how the meaning fits the dance moves, the mv setting, the tune etc.

it makes the songs 100times better!
the boys, bubble pop, so hot etc

without knowing the translations,
people may think that "bring the boys out" means girls generation is so hot that they can bring the boys out.
but no.
after watching the engsubbed mvversion,
you will then know that it is actually about giving encouragement for the guys out there who have no confidence in themselves, or who are tired with life.
they want them to stand up for themselves.
it is a song about bringing the confidence of the boys out.
and then, everything begins to fit.

my blog

realised that it is not very informative.

and my language is horrible, so
I SHALL TRY AND IMPROVE

in both language and content.

haha, training for school, and upgrading myself. 2 in 1!

i am easily persuaded

it is either xiaxue is a very good talker, or i'm easily persuaded.
but i think it's a bit of both.

i'm sure she is a very good talker, she has her points, and she's got the skills to make them decent.

and, i am currently 16, going 17,
at that very stage whereby i am attracted to many stuff out there,
i'm also listening more, watching and visiting more videos,
so i'm getting exposed to even more things.
and i want them. everything looks so pretty, i wanna try them too!
be it products, lifestyle, way of doing things, etc
i'm influenced!

but that being said, it doesnt mean that i am easily persuaded to...
yes, i can be swayed into buying a certain product,
but definitely not ideas/opinions, like political sides or how certain thing/group/person is/are bad. things like that.
so, i am easily persuaded, only when it is about products, things that i can see, cosmetics electronics food stationery etc.
and when it comes to some kind of idealogy, you definitely cannot talk me into believing something. unlike my mom.:P


anyway, I WANT MONEH. :)
i know people will start saying, oh you know money isn't everything. money is not important. there are things that you cannot buy with money.
yaya i understand that,
while i treasure the things that i cant buy with money,
i need money to buy the things that i cant get without money.
yeah.. some kind of rap going on in here
but you know what i'm trying to say.

:)

plans!

to help myself, into becoming a more efficient person,
plans.

I HOPE ALL GOES WELL!

upnext:
thurs, fri
sat: movie and shopping with mel

procrastination

i hope i spelt that correctly.


so, coming towards the end of december.
i still cant take in the fact that it is holiday already.
and for such a long time like this.
because i've been procrastinating, and
not efficient.

tons of things on my list.
i've completed some,
but not much, and not fast.

still sleeping late and waking up late,
spending my time in front of the com.
so much that i've expected for this holidays!

disappointed.

so many things, just so many.
I NEED TO JIAYOU.
hwaiting!

tired;fat

back from the wide game today.
REALLY TIRED.
having muscleache now.

and just finished cramming myself with food.
getting fatter. =.=

and anyway, just read some of xiaxue's notes on elections
and i really agree with what she's saying.
once again, she has proven that she's not a bimbo.
she's someone with logical and sound mind.
good reasoning, and definitely a good speaker.

people should see the truth.

haiz

GOOSE.
i hate it when i feel like that.

girls' generation

After listening to into the new world, honey (perfect for you)
once again,
I cried.


Because of the beautifulness i find, in the names
'Girls' Generation'; and
'SONE'.

Girls' Generation, in the hearts of many sones, is no longer just a name.
It means further more than that.
It is the beginning,
the friendship, it is the every single detail about nine girls who are great in their own ways.
No matter how many songs they've sang and produced, there will always be one song that will remain in my heart, forever- Into the New World.
Like what some of the top comments in youtube videos now say,
it is the 'beginning of the legend', and
'this will forever be their most beautiful song'.
Because it means a lot to them, and us.
It marks the beginning of Girls' Generation. Like what the girls have said, it is the era of the girls, strong and pure.
It represents their debut, the first result of their years of hardwork to be showcased to the world, their sweat and tears, their dreams and passion..since young.
Singing it again in the future, reminds them and us of their rookie days, the feeling of being nervous, the Girls' Generation who just stepped on to the performance stage, who entered the lifes of the audience and fans. It reminds everyone of their love for performing on stage, the reason why they are here.

SONE,
the idea came from a song in their first album, sowon. (now called honey/perfect for you)
Which actually means wish in korean.
Has such deep meaning in the name
of the fans, of the pink oceans and seas around the world.
A group of people who dedicated their love and heart for these nine girls,
who saw their hardwork, their passion,
who loved them for everything they did,
who will support them no matter what.

Our girls have come so far.
Four years, still strong.
More and more people are noticing them,
more people of different race, nationality, and cultures
are getting soshified.
This, will never end.
They are legend.
They are nine girls who changed history, and impacted lives.

지금은 앞으로도 영원히 소녀시대
Right now, the future, forever, Sonyeoshidae.

If you're still Girls' Generation in the next lifetime, I will still be, a SONE.

the feeling of

feeling guilty.




anw i got a YELLOW LOLLIPOP CUSHION!~

still,

mama 2011 is over.
happy, and really happy about the results.

SJ- Best Male Group
SNSD- Best Female Group
SJ- Best Album of the Year
SNSD- Best Artist of the Year

:) SUPERGENERATION jjang!
watched fancams, and i'm really proud of the bond shared between them,
how they stood up for each other when the other got the award, proudly, happily, and smiling.
good friends who went through training hardship,
siblings who spent childhood times together.

things are still coming up. life is still eventful.

but i'm still lazy as usual, not efficient in the holidays,
getting fat, waking up late, not completing my tasks.
disappointed in myself.

went shopping today with my mum.
bought a few stuff. things on my list.
but i'm just leaving them there lying on my desktop.
























anw, TAEYEON TAENGOO'S NEW UFO PICTURE!

MAMA2011 SINGAPORE

IT'S TOMORROW.

WORLD, GET READY.




















still very excited about the fact the super junior, girls' generation, miss a, 2ne1 etc are ON THIS ISLAND NOW.
and goose, they are staying in MBS. soshi on the 55th floor! the girls are rehearsing at night. so hardworking. soshi, hwaiting!
taengoo at changi. so freaking cute!

26th already

once again i have to admit,
that time flies.


it is the 26th already,
26th day from start of November,
more than a week since i'm back from Taiwan,
it was a long period of time.

but i felt that i did little in this whole block of days..?

i've had plans.
i always do.

and i always, do not follow them.


anyway, there are things coming up soon,
which i have been anticipating for a long time.

MAMA 2011

-arrival of OMG stars
-LIVE ON CHANNEL U 4pm to 10pm
-SUPERJUNIOR SNSD MISS A ETC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i'm gonna party at home and sit in front of the tv for 6hours!

SNSD CONCERT 2011

-FREAKING EXCITED.
i love my girls.
my life has been soshified!~

Taiwan, 2011 trip

Some things that I want to say before sharing what I have done over there,
some things that I have noticed. From a Singaporean POV

1. Escalators
They were thoughtful and everyone observes the rule of standing on the right side of the escalators, to allow people who are rushing to move via the left side. Something we have to learn. But i must say that we are improving too, I see more people here standing on the left here in SG now :)

2. On MRT
They have lesser seats on the train when compared to ours, and almost everyone gives up their seats when they see those in need, elderly, those with infants, etc.

3. Roads
Motorbikes in almost every lane, alley, road, pathways. The cars vs motorbikes ratio is almost 50:50. But it is kind of uncomfortable, and "annoying" when you get motorbikes squeezing their way past you in a pathway that is about 1m wide. In places somewhat similar to our Bugis street, motorbikes are behind you once every 10 mins.
What seems to be walkways also have cars travelling on it, so it is a bit dangerous and confusing.
Traffic jams every morning and evening, during peak hours.
So i think Singaporeans are way luckier in this aspect. :)

4. Korean-wave, Hallyu in Taiwan
Everyone knows that hallyu is taking over the world now, it is even more evident in Taiwan. Taiwan, a site for mandopop, has been hit by the kwave, which can be seen from their tv programmes, on the streets, way of dressing etc.
Their TV programmes are 50% korean. Complete with Inkigayo, Music Bank, Music Core, Strong Heart, Dreamteam, 4minute'steacherprogramme, Idol Anatomy, Runningman, Invincible Youth and many more.
and a handful of local programmes covering kpop news etc.
Though some of the programmes and news are lagged by a few weeks, due to subbing.
kpop songs are heard playing in stores on every street. With groups ranging from SuperJunior, Girls' Generation, 2pm, f(x), Infinite, Sistar, etc.
KPOP DAEBAK!














will update more on places i went, mainly for shopping, as the purpose of this trip was really just to shop. (Shilin Nightmarket, Zhongxiao Eastrd, Wufenpu, Taipei Mainstation, Ximending, etc)


meanwhile, for conclusion,
I realised recently, since last year,
I've gained more interest in what i did not enjoy doing in the past,
like reading the newspapers, watching news broadcast, watching documentaries, channel newsasia, channel 5 etc.
I think besides the fact that i am growing up, maturing, or in a stage whereby i am curious about the world, IH (integrated humanities) and LA (language arts) lessons caused this sudden growing interest. I find the topics covered interesting, and the way of learning and analyzing the situations and various case studies made it even more appealing and made me want to know more. Being more "knowledgable", i am then able to understand what those documentaries, world news on the tv are talking about.
It is really cool to see something on the tv and say "oh yes, i know, i've learnt it in school before" and you will start thinking "hey, i want to watch that and learn more about the issues," and naturally, the programme becomes more interesting to watch. in the past, i never understood why my father loved to watch channel news asia, or the news broadcast. i thought those shows were unnecessary and boring. but now, it's not.

heh. will post sometime soon. annyeong!





























.

And to all Singaporeans, Welcome Home

BACK.

it's fast, huh? and it felt like a dream, again.
bought lots of things home though.
but i could have gotten more stuff.


anyway, i'm just going to focus on the last thing as of now- arrival back home.
as the plane was descending, many people looked out the window,
and were stunned by the beautiful night scene of Singapore.
city of lights, representing prosperity and peace.

and to Singaporeans, it's pride, and the sense of belonging.

i happy to be home,
(and back to my com)
and,
awaits, the rest of the holidays.

i hope i will be disclipined enough to get hold of myself to complete the list of things planned.

so i'm just supporting it because of the performing guests!

end of secondary school life；完

so, it's that fast.
the 4 years seemed like a dream to me,
and i'm feeling the post-dream blues now.
awake, facing the reality that i am growing up, and older.

results are back, and i realised that many of the things that i was worried for, actually turned out quite good, surprisingly.
and, things which i hoped for, do happen.
the opportunities that i dreamed of came, and it dawned to me that the only thing that matters is that whether or not i choose to make use of it.
problems that i dreaded were actually resolved.
so,
life is good afterall.

school is over, but im still not in that mood yet, because of hcl olvl which i'm going to take this thursday.
wish me all the best.

過後 人生還會有 很多很多的挑戰 機會 夢想 等待著我
到了那個時候 最關鍵的 還是自己 有沒有那個勇氣

我一定要 珍惜 所有的一切
把握 每一刻
時間

sone soldiers

lets fight for snsd now!
go vote http://mama.mnet.com/en/vote.asp
its in english. :)


the saddest part of this competition is that,
we're fighting alone. (and maybe with some SONELFS, and nice neutral kpoppers)
we really have to work hard and vote for our girls every single day.

if we lose,
we lose with pride, and dignity.
because we did not get help from other fandoms on purpose,
going to every single mv to ask antis to vote for their group instead of snsd.
that is totally despicable.
haters are disgusting already, because they are blinded with hatred, not love,
but people who make use of haters is even worse.
will they be happy when their idols win?

the boys; promotions

The girls are heading to New York for SMtown now!!

Yesterday's Music Bank Comeback was great,
and so was today's Music Core Comeback.
How Great is Your Love was daebakk!!!
SNSD hwaiting! Have fun in sm town!

taengoo arh...

=(
first taeyeon recommended marie digby's spell,
then now kelly clarkson's cry.
in paradise in phuket she said
that the girls are better than boyfriends.


hope she is okay..

post EOY

EOYs are over.
and i dont have a good feeling about my results.
goose.
but no point thinking about it.

BECAUSE
GIRLS. ARE. BACK.

1. THE BOYS
freaking awesome.
choreography as usual, top notch.
many members made improvements, especially yoona.
mv is of high quality.

some may not see the link in the song,
but i think it is somewhat like hoot and mr simple,
it needs time, and after a few replays,
you get hooked and addicted, and it will start ringing in your head like nobody's business.

and i like taeng's pink extensions
and her comeback hairstyle.

2. SNSD COMEBACK
GIRLS BRING THE BOYS OUT.
our girls worked hard,
and i am really proud of our fellow sones,
from all over the world who came down to support them.
their cheers and fanchants were the loudest!
(ps, donghae and leeteuk went to the backstage to cheer for snsd! super generation:P)

meanwhile,
snsd will start on a string of promotions,
and we must be ready to fight with our pastel rose pink swords!
right now, its global generation!



the boys image teaser, few days after release
-----------
holidays are great so far,
because i spent 2/3 days going out to nice places, with good rewards,
like i went to hawparvilla, and enriched myself,
and went shopping twice, and bought 2 bags, 1 top, a bunch of soshi goods, 2 rings, 1 bracelet.
and i treat this as a warm up, for my taiwan trip coming soon:P
but after this shopping trip, i am prepared to get my money back- i wanna earn money! XD

oh 1/3 remaining, are snsd time! <3

life's good so far,
just have to think on the bright side.
forget about the bad things,
(you still have to "remember", but just remember it as a lesson,
what's done cannot be undone, but serves as a precious teaching!)
oh wow, look at how mature and positive i am. ;D

ANW, wish everyone a happy holiday!
and, the world, peace.

作者：zachela怡君; 生命中的小小感动

生命中小小的感动

“滴答！滴答！”雨滴，它们在房间窗外轻轻地拍打着，拍打着一种令人游哉游哉的节奏，也带来了我对生命无数的思考与感叹。

我喜欢下雨。我喜欢，前奏刚响起时，它的忧郁，它的特别气味，它的清幽氛围。我喜欢，来临时，沙沙的催眠声响，眼前事物一切模糊的景色，还有它的朦胧。雨停了，大地万象似乎又重新再一次地接受了洗礼，路旁小树苗上的雨珠，散发出坚强与生命力。这时，我感到一种莫名的感动。这，是浓厚诗意所带来的感动。

我也很喜欢看着窗外。我喜欢看鸟儿自由自在地在天上翱翔，然后在黄昏时，与伙伴们成群结队地划过天空，飞回自己的鸟巢。我喜欢看一家人坐在组屋前的草地上聚餐，也喜欢看着一群兄弟姐妹在那儿放风筝，玩捉迷藏。不知不觉，我的嘴角都会自然地挂着微笑。我喜欢看婆婆握着孙子的小手在人行步道上慢慢行走的背影。这时，我又感到一种莫名的感动。这，是人间温情所带来的感动。

朋友因此常说我是一个感性的人，也有朋友认为，我是一个很奇怪的人。因为，我几乎无时无刻都被一些玲珑琐碎的事情而感动。他们觉得，这些小事，这些在他们眼里不太起眼，平常不那么注意的事物，不足以令人感动。

是啊，我经常为很多事情感动到流泪，不过世间难道真的没有值得我们感动的事吗？

一大早给闹钟吵醒，证明自己还活着 –感动。坐着不小心发现一群蚂蚁为了生存正在搬动比自己重几百倍的食物的那顽强意志力和努力–感动。国庆日，全国上下唱国歌时的意义非凡 –感动。看着偶像们的今日风采，想起当初的辛苦波折 –感动。当我们生病时，收到朋友一个关心的慰问，心里是否也是充满无限感激与感动呢？

可见，简单地看看电影，听首歌，都能够被他们的谈话，歌词，旋律而感动。之所以会感动，有可能是某件事情背后的意义，有可能是看不到摸不到但却很珍贵的感情。最后，有可能是生命的可贵，与美。生命的宝贵，使许多事情变得难能可贵。尤其是生活中的小事，更是变得特别稀有。而且，生命中的美，小如鱼虫，大如宇宙。只要我们肯放慢脚步，换个角度与心态去发掘，就能从微不足道的小事上找到它的美，发现以及体会它们带来的感动。那种感动，虽小，但却是简单的幸福。

感动，是一件必要的事。因为感动，人生有了幸福；因为感动，人生有了值得高兴、流泪的事情。因为感动，我们了解人世的无常。于是对于获得的幸福感到加倍的珍惜。这份珍惜，使我们学会拥抱生命，以及生命的美。它使我们珍视活着的每一刻，享受雨天的诗意，人与人之间的感情，朋友对你的关心，人家付出的努力。有人曾经说过“世间一切大事的源头，是来自于小小的感动。”小小的感动，则会使生命饱满，充实。

现在，在这个繁忙的大城市里，冷漠愈来愈多，温情愈来愈少。欲望使许多人都无法认真停下来，放下手中的一切事物，仔细地聆听，用心去发觉周围的小感动。很多人不明白其实感动它不分时间、地点，也不分大小。它不是不存在，而是藏在我们身边各个不显眼的角落而已。那么该从何下手，找寻“感动”？探测方法很简单，试着让生活节奏缓下来，那些令你觉得不值一提的小事物嫌疑最大。

bad dream

i had a bad dream, or maybe even a nightmare early this morning.

i was crying so hard, because i was disappointed in you.

it may be just a dream,
but who knows this is how i really felt in real life?
dreams are reflections of reality, right?

unfair/

生命中 你会有很多时候 觉得世界对你很不公平
但是 不如意的事情 十之八九
你又能 埋怨到什么时候

与其 一直专注在 不美好的部分
倒不如 换个角度去想想

这道理 大家常听惯了
我也是

但昨天才第一次 体会到

一直过分追求一样东西
当你没得到的时候 失望越大 伤心越大
但你 一放手的时候
换个想法的时候
自然而然的 你也不会再为这件事 烦恼了

试试看

mugging?

last minute mugging.
sorry for those people who cant stand me.
i am just too lazy larh.


finally in mugger mode (well, semimugger).
typing ih like mad.
i love typing!~

i love typing!~
i love typing!~

pissed

i'm glad my father isnt like YOU.

if you work hard

if you work hard enough,
it is possible for time to stop for you.

acha!~; snsd concept photos interpretation

a-cha's out!
heechul is in the mvXD
hope he is doing well in the army (i'm sure he is, with all those photos of sohee:P)

and, Fans’ Interpretation of SNSD’s Concept Photos from their 3rd Album ‘The Boys’
i must praise the authors for being so observant!!!

SNOW WHITE – TAEYEON(태연)

first, when i saw the victorian dress, i predicted and expected everyone's teasers to be in similar dresses but the rest was shockingly cool. and i did not spot the apple before people mentioned about it.



























In the fairy tale, Snow White falls into deep slumber after taking a bite out of the poisoned apple offered by her disguised evil stepmother, The Queen. The spell was broken only after Snow White was rescued by the Prince.
However, in Taeyeon’s concept photo, if you look closely, she has taken a bite out of the apple and yet, she is still standing firm in the photo, i.e. not affected by the poisonous apple.


SWAN PRINCESS – JESSICA (시카)

i dont know much about fairy tales, so i was really puzzled by the dove and everything else, and a lot of sones were like me too. but:




























In the fairy tale, the Swan Princess were protected by doves. But in Jessica’s concept photo, she was releasing the dove into freedom with her own hands.

LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD – SUNNY(써니)
this was the one that is the most obvious to me, which hinted 'fairytale' to me.



























Sporting a stark difference with the innocent and naive Little Red Riding Hood that we know, Sunny looked witty and smart in her concept photo, as though she will never be bluffed or taken in by any big bad wolves.

THE LITTLE MERMAID – TIFFANY(파니)
so observent to notice the glitter/scales on her legs!!
















In order to meet her Prince, the little mermaid gave up her beautiful voice in exchange of a pair of legs with the “help” of the sea witch.

In Tiffany’s photo, we can see that not only does she have a pair of beautiful legs, she was also holding on to her dreams of performing on stage, as represented by the numerous glitter balls.

THUMBELINA – HYOYEON(효연)

In the fairy tale, Thumbelina, as her name implies, is a tiny girl, the size of a thumb. She emerged from a flower of a barleycorn, which was given by a beggar woman to a peasant’s wife in exchange for food.

However, in Hyoyeon’s photo, we can see that she adorned many beautiful flowers on her head. Does this mean that she overcame her size and everything else that came with it?

THE RED SHOES – YURI(유리)

was completely puzzled by this also.

The Red Shoes is one of the darker fairy tales in the list. In the story, the vain little girl was obsessed with the new red shoes, which she tricked her adoptive mother into buying. She pays no attention to service in church and attends a party in her new shoes, desserting her sick mother. She was then cursed to dance all the time without stopping, until she amputated her legs.

In Yuri’s photo, we can see that she managed to take off her red shoes and yet still possesses a pair of beautiful legs. And what are those red specks on the ground? ^^

RAPUNZEL – SOOYOUNG(수영)

Rapunzel was locked and trapped in a tower with no doors and stairs by the Enchantress. When the Prince chanced upon her in the woods by following her beautiful voice, she had to let down her long hair to let him climb up the tower before they can

meet.

However, in the photo, it is obvious that Rapunzel’s (Sooyoung) symbolic long hair has been cut short (imagine Rapunzel’s hair from the top to the bottom of the tower).

BEAUTY AND THE BEAST – YOONA(윤아)

At first i didnt know what the sword was indicating.

In contrast with the Belle in the story, Yoona boasted a strong, charismatic aura in her photo while yielding a sword. Perhaps this signifies that she is not a weak girl and no longer require saving and protection by the Beast.

SNOW QUEEN – SEOHYUN(서현)

A passage from the Bible was used at the end of the fairy tale: “Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.”

This perhaps carries a hidden meaning where the public hopes that SNSD will always remain as “SoNyuhs”. With Seohyun’s appearance and a cold expression in the photo, maybe she was trying to break the “spell” casted by the Snow Queen.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Basically, it appears as though every members were portraying different roles in various fairy tales. It also happens that most of the photos captured the essence/changing points of the fairy tales, such as Taeyeon’s apple, Yuri’s shoes, Jessica’s dove, Sooyoung’s hair, etc.

It was really thoughtful for the person who came up with these ideas, with the small hints lying around, and props to the who saw through this and did all the detective work. I like how each photo has a meaning, a story, of a fairytale, which each has a beautiful message behind it, and the ill fates and mishappenings are tweaked for an even greater and powerful message.

regardless whether the photos were really meant to be interpreted this way, this is a really good attempt.

Put together with the title of the main song ‘The Boys’, one can perhaps envision the concept/main theme of the third album to be:

While keeping and maintaining the qualities and images of the female heroines in fairy tales, the girls are also trying to walk out of the boundaries of such tales to become truly modern and independent women.

october is going to be freaking cool with all the senior(and pro) groups comeback.

tough fight,

and they are going to show the newbies how it should be done!

Tiffany: “We will work hard so that we can deliver more happiness. I want to continue singing to express good energy.”

"As we grow older, I don't think people would want to see us shaking lollipops and acting all cute. Instead, they would want us to strive to perfect ourselves as artists. If that's the case, then we're confident that we can be such artists." - Kwon Yuri (Win Win Ep.11, 2010)

"We can at least go backstage where it's cool and get rest, but the fans have to stay and watch in the heat. It's not me mom...it's the fans who have it hard." - Kim Taeyeon (during one of SNSD's concerts, as told by her mom to a fan)

"They say 'Lucky Number 7' but Lucky Number 9 has been ingrained in my head. My lucky number is 9." - Tiffany Hwang (Midnight TV Entertainment, 11th Nov 2010)

haters;antis

read on with blind hatred, then you are going in deeper.
if you think you are a righteous person, then read this with a clear mind.

here i am, not scolding, or hating,
but trying to bring you out of this bottomless pit of hatred,
before it is too late and you regret it later on somewhere down the road.

it will be too tragic.
you love your idols, do you love hate too?

i dont understand how antis can stand this ugly side of themselves.
i mean lying, cursing, trashing, are all things antis do.
people with reasons as shallow as
1.they are more talented than me
2. they are a threat to my idol
3. they are closer to my idol than i am. and what does it show? number one, you are just jealous. number two, they are close friends and your oppa will be upset if you hate on them and even if you do, it wont change anything. they will be even closer. XD lastly, they are sluts? do you trust your oppas' judgement? heechul said the two people he would listen to in his life is donghae and taeyeon.



up to here, you may think, this freaking girl is speaking crap.
then you are not thinking. think about the true reasons you hate.
maybe you cant even find any.
you can not love them, but hate is something heavy and ugly for you to carry.

people who hate on people whom they dont even know is extremely pathetic,
and they know it at the bottom of their hearts too.
but they just do not want to admit it.



using snsd as an example. (because i find STANDers the most ridiculous haters)
-oh they are plastic
-they cannot sing/have no talent
-characteristic is lousy
1. do you have any proof/ do you know them personally?
and do you hate on everyone who has plastic?
is there anything morally wrong to have plastic surgery, then?
that is a discrimination. did they kill someone for that?
people's purpose for plastic, is just to satisfy those haters who will criticise on that slight imperfection. you guys demanded for that perfection anyway.
and fact- people change, you do too. and different angles produces different photos. if you are digging the ugly ones and avoiding the pretty ones, and saying comments on the line of i hate them because they are plastic (and prettier than me), then it indirectly means that you have low self esteem and self delusional.

2. all kidols train freaking hard.
as for snsd, they do have the talent and ability. and i'm sure you know that. so i'll let videos and truth fight for them.
3. again, do you know them? kidols trained and persevered very hard. see the youtube videos of REAL fancams yourselves. eg, the one tiffany signed autographs at a hotel, and apologising when she had to leave for a moment and came back as she promised. ONE HARD TRUTH.
not too late for antis to turn back.



so stop hating.
pastel rose pink and sapphire blue looks nice together, alongside with sea of pearl red and rest of kpop colours.
your oppas and unnies love each other in the kpop family.
seeing their own fans starting fanwars hurt them, and make them feel guilty and apologetic.
saw the tears they shed during gda?
you want them to do that again BECAUSE OF YOU who hate their beloved juniors who suffered just as much as them during trainee days? who played and laughed together with them, who understood them MORE than you do?


THINK.
1. your own moral sake.
2. your idols.
3. love. peace is the best present for the human race.

做不到

就要继续努力
做得更好

my dream

can be big too..

taeng! give me strength~

:P























我是疯了吗？ 连续po4个网志

可惜

还是不可惜？


很肯定的一点：你们=可悲。
事情已到这种地步=可笑。
当当事人是我=可恨。

只好等有一天

把各位的面具掀开
你真的有那么厉害吗？
你真的有资格坐在那里 批评我吗？

我就是要证明给你看
我可以做到

我可以不靠 你给我的成绩 文凭
来让你知道 你们当初的判断是错的

善哉 善哉

出乎意料

很多事情
都不像你所想的一樣

原以爲很不錯
但最後 卻 跌得很慘 很痛

但那些 原以爲不怎麽樣
不那麽在乎的 那些
最後 總會給你驚喜

原來 凡事都得 輕鬆看待 放開
不要那麽在乎
會更好

失望

自己真的很沒用



我的媽呀

不應該 但還是得說

我知道 以下内容是 不應該說的
但我真的氣了

你
1 倚老賣老
2 自以爲
3 無知
4 無恥

你凴什麽 説話
凴什麽 批評人家
不知道 就亂説
人云亦云 也相信
扭曲事實還理直氣壯
真的是……

我這次火大了


請不懂的人士 別亂 開嘴
haters/antis aside, too.

新加坡以前的電視劇

在youtube上 看著以前的片頭曲
真的勾起了許多回憶

很美 很美

出路。
“……此地會是我 衣錦還鄉処
飄洋過海我吃得起苦 我相信天無絕人之路……”
又搭配謝紹光的感人演技 辛苦 淒涼的美
是現在很多電視劇都缺少的

豆腐街 早安老師 更是經典
舞出彩虹 荷蘭村 孩有明天 藍色仙人掌 等更是近代的代表作
陰差陽錯 更是非常有創意 好過現在的那個9點檔的戯 （請國外演員來但戲本拍攝水準還是近年來的那樣不怕丟臉嗎？）

希望能夠再次找到以前的藝術感
像u頻道 的戯 也很有藝術的 feel
爲什麽主流8頻道 不要改進呢？

singapore, we can do it!

看看孫燕姿 蔡健雅 林俊傑 都可以很成功
再想想以前 豆腐街 主題曲 城裏的月光
還有琅琅上口的 細水長流
現在 我們更要努力 還有明天 還有希望。

lousy me

weekend gone just like that.

clarify

hope everyone will know that
孫燕姿, 林俊傑, 蔡健雅 are actually SINGAPOREANs.
他們是新加坡人。
謝謝。



and, 城裏的月光，細水長流 are songs from singapore too.


just want to mention these because though singaporeans know these facts already,
majority of the people out there do not know. =.=

tgif

one week's gone!


happy friday. i LOVE fridays.




sometimes i forgot.

why

why like that?

thank you

谢谢。

back to school; the future

back to school.
and soon, it will all be over.

do i like it? part of me, yes.
because i get to enjoy a long holiday,
get to go overseas,
get to do part time to earn moneh etc, and i am rather excited for jc.

but no: it will mean that i am getting older,
i have more responsibilities,
with age comes stress, and much more other worries,
etc, and i dont like the fact that four years in nanyang are gone.

brahlhaskfj! nvm. whats ahead of me now is:
1. revision for eoy (which i havent really do much during this week)
2. bsp test! on TUES. (yeah i am dead.)


and.. the future.
very often, i get thoughts like: when i am older, i can do this.
but vice versa. when i am older, i cant do this.
irony.

haiz. shouldnt think so much. so..
BE HAPPY!





























.

this morning

i dreamt that i could produce money magically.

how i wish this was true.

四天過去了

我好沒用哦

老天啊 你幹嘛玩弄我 =.=

現在是怎樣

無端端又出現在我眼前
and is that coincidence?! 我每天抱著它睡的耶

我的媽啊~





























不知道你還記得嗎

once again

i need to say,

that i dont like changes.

today XD; start of sept holiday '11

first leg of chinavssingapore soccer over.
singapore did a good job!!! well done and all the best for the next few competitions.
i'll be watching!
you guys did singapore proud.

today, i went to school to take the hsk test.
however i reached school too early and spent my morning watching the rich families across the road.
their house is freaking HUGE and i'm jealous. (heh iam honest too)

end of year, i wanna go taiwan!
starting to plan the trip already.
one place to go for sure- smtown official goodstore.
hope its not crowded when i'm there.

and lastly, i want to tell you guys that i have a dream.
and its big.

XD

Jessica: “One thing that was a little difficult was that we couldn’t hang out with our friends a lot, but that was time we invested into ourselves, and it’s thanks to it that we’re the Shoujo Jidai we are today.”

happy teachers' day

this year's fun,
but i thought last year's concept is better, i like it when they gave us lightsticks and switched off the lights. it felt like a fun concert.


but there's still some highlights in this year's as well!

parents dancing GEE!
i was totally screaming my head off and i felt like a fanboy.
it could have been longer though.

nysc's skit.
the script was nice and innovative! i like the way they put in
sbq-super boliao question
hitler, background in-formation
integrated humanities!
need to weigh pros and cons, unseen prose
covalent BOND
male stamen said to the female stigma- i like your style
etc.

TEACHERs performance.
you can say that i am biased. but 'IT' was freaking cool
'IT' had solos and freaking pro dance and style..
and... i was totally shocked by 'I AM THE BEST'
they chose that song! a quite new and recent one.
KPOP :)

happy teachers day everyone!



ps. i think someone gained even more fangirls today.

i love

sitting on the bed,
and looking out the window.


enjoying the sound of nature
and cooling breeze... from my aircon.


with a book in my hand.
life feels good!




























。

hmph!

you just wait
until one day

when i grow up
and earn my own money.

accept it

tony tan.

full stop.
those people who are not satisfied have to accept the fact that this is the choice of the "majority". someone has to win the elections after all.
all we need to do now is not grumble or complain,
but instead, help him to become a good president.

if you are not happy with him, help him become what you want,
not just sit there and do nothing and troll on the internet.
this is a stupid and insensible thing to do.



and i dont like people who switch side that easily.
they can praise you and stick with you for 5+ 10+ years
and when you lose, they change their stand immediately
and start talking behind your back, not even considering the past relationship.
worse thing is, they think that they are the best and not in wrong.
dont they feel ashamed of themselves?

anw, i know i shouldnt be critising people.
i apologise for that, but i just cant help it.

and yeah, i'm happy!
because i bought a few stuff yesterdayXD

sometimes

i dont like the way i am procrastinating.

and sometimes, i show my emotions too easily
it just expresses on my face.
then sometimes, when i am not experiencing any feelings,
they say i look sad.

what does it tell about me?


kpop's dominating, all the best!
especially my snsd BABES!

*ps crystal, i love your sister! but i read about some other person's sister who is only 6 and she is a sone. wow. soshi rocks! they were even invited to the blue house! shows how powerful our girls are.

寂寞寂寞就好

死不了就還好

i believe

but you guys are stubborn.
haiz. arrogance takes you no where.

shy shy shy boy

emhmm?




the whole weekend is gone just like that. =.=
with me still sitting in front of the computer trying to think if we should die or not?
grr.

decisions

i hate it when i have to choose.

so i'm super confused now.

haiz.

if it was a

mcq question,
i will cross out say first. for sure.
definitely.

遍體鱗傷？

不知該說什麽

本當に大事なモノは見えなくて 觸れることもできない
The things that are truly important can’t be seen or touched
そんなモノだから 大きくて重くても樂に持って步ける
That’s why no matter how great or heavy they are, you can walk easily carrying them


ああ　今は何のチカラも 持っていない　tiny girl　でも

いつか君から愛すため Oh you're a lady…

that's why i told you to

BE HAPPY. SMILE

happy birthday, singapore

finished watching the parade,
and totally enjoyed it.
the concept was nice and i like the fact that it was linked to the mv, with scenes that was not included in the mv which means they took the trouble to film extra footage, which is great.

but while watching, i realised and reflected on quite a number of things.

1. our mr president
many thought he didnt do much, including me. i mean, we dont "see" him doing things as a president.
but recently, through interviews and from the commentator for the parade,
i realised that he, or our presidents, actually do a lot and participated a lot in meetings and decision-making, it is just all behind-the-scene.
also, take in account for the many decades before his terms as a president.
he contributed a lot to our country, and
actually volunteered to be held hostage by the JRA to secure the release of civilian hostages.
now, THINK, before you criticise him.
he deserves the position.
so, i am very thankful for the past 12 years, and good job, mr president. :D

2. our generation and the few to come
it then dawned on me that my generation is the cut off point.
it will be the last generation to witness the transition into modernisation.
it is counted as the third singapore generation, and being that, all three saw singapore through hard times, with the first witnessing independence and instability,
the second growing up with singapore and having the most "singaporean" childhood,
and the third catching that last bit of retro, kampong spirits on tv and from their parents.

and then it is sort of lost.
dialects, patriotism, the singapore spirit.
more people are getting tired of saying the pledge, or singing the national anthem, or the national day songs.
more people are wanting to migrate overseas.
though i cannot deny that there are still a big group of people who love singapore a lot, the number is not as big as before.
so i want you all, to unite,
all singaporeans, the youth, the young,
to carry on the singapore spirit,
because i want us, to be able to still tell the stories of singapore to our next generation.
the tough job is on us, because everything will be different in their eyes.
they have to rely on us to tell them the history of singapore, the kampong spirit, singlish, and everything about singapore. it can be how our primary school days used to be like, our the singapore slangs we use in secondary schools, etc.
jiayou, singapore.

3. our country
the culture, the unique cultural background.
this is something i truly love about singapore,
it is really the kampong spirit.
i am really proud to be a singaporean.
traditions in the parade, like the parachutes, the marching, EVERYTHING.
history, journeys we've made through as one singapore.
every year, we focus on the beginning, the past, on the history of singapore, how everything and everyone came together, and then how we brave through the storms and how we managed to become who we are today.
this repeats every year, for a reason.
because this, is what makes us singapore.
and what makes us singaporeans.

기분이 좋지 않습니다

just not feeling good.




life...?

haiz.


anw, happy about national's day!

hey mr simple simple

reminds me of mr taxi taxi taxi XD

blocktests are finally over!!!!
and what's next?! WONDERFUL NATIONAL DAY!
I LOVE YOU SINGAPORE!~!



i seriously want to buy the pledge shirts.
or shirt. maybe just one.

AND..
TADA! ITS GIRLS' GENERATION'S BIRTHDAY TODAY!
JIGEUMEUN SONYEOSHIDAE
I LOVE SNSD
ALL THE BEST TO THE NINE ANGELS<3


ever wondered about aliens, reincarnation etc?
i'm sort of curious in these kind of things
and yeah, once again: EVERYONE PLEASE DONT EAT MEAT.
THANK YOU.
for your health, for your earth, for your friends, for your conscience.


YEAH PEACE

JUST ONE MORE DAY.


You go on living because life is tough^^ --Taeyeon

wp;pap

presidency elections?
online, i see many people "encouraging" others to vote for the "opposition" (though he quitted for this elections), and to be not afraid in voicing out their opinions and "show the ruling party" that we are a democratic society.

hmmm.....
there are many loopholes in this argument.
firstly, people have their own reason in voting for pap, or whatever other party they want. it might not be that we are scared.
and secondly, a big issue that i have noticed,
people vote for the sake of voting for the opposition.
i think this is something we must realise,
that even though you might be dissatisfied with the current ruling,
dont let this blind you and just
vote for the sake of opposing..
have you ever wondered if they are capable?
have you ever wondered,
so what if you won?
so what if you "showed" the government that we are capable of making our own decisions?
what is going to happen after that?
you believe in whatever they say in their speeches?
100% truth? and at the same time, whatever pap says is fake?

i mean,
i am not siding pap, nor opposition in this case,
BUT
people have to "wake up".
its okay if you want to vote for opposition,
i'm fine. and i do want some different voices in the parliament.
but you have to wait.
see what they have done first.
dont give them praise even before you see any results.
this is completely blind supporting.
if there's good results, yes, everyone will see it and maybe they will have more "territories" in singapore in 2016.
we have eyes, we can see. and we have brains, we can decide for ourselves.

so for the presidency.
some ridiculous netizens are saying,
vote for "opp", he is pro singaporean.

just because he is opp, doesnt mean he is pro singaporean.
and just because others are related to pap, they are not.
this is hasty generalization.
once again, NO offence and i'm not doing any targeting.


for me,
i just hope the best man wins.
true pro singaporean who is not related to pap, or opposition, perhaps.
someone who stands up not because of money either.

and in the future, i hope people in the parliament, government or whatever,
can take a chance to look, or better, monitor, the online comments some fellow singaporeans have to offer. some of them are real good ones, some, i dont even know if they are coming from singaporeans. however, true or not, it does show the concerns in our society.
to make everyone happy, just see and try to improve.


at the end of the day,
i dont want pap to win,
i dont want opposition to win.
i just want singapore to prosper.
and all singaporeans
to live happily ever after ! XD

執著

有好的
也有不好的


喜歡
也得不喜歡


人生，
我要好好地活著





i have a dream.
to save the world; to love everyone.
to achieve the dream, i would have to do a lot of things.
i will have to study hard, i will have to earn big bucks...

but there are certain things which i can do right now,
which is to start from my family.

to love every single one of them,
then my friends, to help whenever possible
then my neighbours, by greeting and smiling
then to those people i dont really like,
to forgive.
to teach.
to help.


i know everyone know how serious the situation is right now,
i mean, the environmental situation.
but some just cant see the urgency and importance of it.

and some, when they have the ability to stop and change the situation,
they chose to start wars, or create unnecessary problems.
i dont know what they call this.
