the soundtrack

The five songs you would always want to bring with you and why.

Wow, this was hard to answer. I mean really hard. I have tonnes of favourite music and songs and it was hard to include or exclude some of the songs for this question. Well, here goes.

The first song I pick would have to be, BAY (베이) - Love Again.

This song was the first song that popped in my head when I saw this question. This band is so difficult to follow since there's really limited news about them. The debuted way back in 2007 and still have not released anything new but I personally love their first album, Open The Road. It was amazing, especially this song. Ever since I heard this song, it's been in my playlist since forever. I tend to listen to this song whenever I'm on the road, with my headphones on. It sounds amazing and it always makes me feel well, good and sad at the same time. I really don't know how to describe this but it's been a favourite for a while. And I just love listening to it through my headphones.

Second song, 愛せない愛したい (Aisenai Aishitai) by Tohoshinki.

Yes, I would bring this song with me wherever, whenever. I know, the lyrics are very depressing but to be honest, this was the Tohoshinki I fell in love with. Well, honestly their first album, both Japan and Korean impressed me the most. But yes, the lyrics are depressing but I think the emotions and meaning makes me love this song more and more. It's just so dramatic but lovely at the same time. Plus those music is just guh.

My third choice would be, Sober by Kelly Clarkson.

This song is by far, my favourite by Kelly. It's called sober but it got nothing to do with alcoholism. It's just a metaphor. This song is mainly trying to avoid bad things and you're achieving it. It's just so hypnotic and amazing. When I first heard this song, I actually felt like crying. The arrangement, the guitar, oh god, everything is just amazing. Plus, when Kelly performed this, she sounded amazing. This song is just so different and it's rare. My favourite line would have to be, Picked all my weeds but kept the flowers. That line is so good. You really have to admit, it's a beautiful song, just listen to it's introduction, content and conclusion, it's amazing.

Fourth song, I have to pick Wanted with Lee Jung's Don't go, Don't go, Don't go.

First of all, I have to say, the album was amazing. Each and every song is just worth listening to. Especially this and I Promise You. I don't know where to begin with this song. When I received news that Lee Jung was gonna collaborate with Wanted, I was ecstatic. I was so happy I couldn't contain myself. This song is just well, the lyrics were well written and the arrangement is amazing. Plus, those voices from Wanted and Lee Jung, it became one of my favourite song all time. You have to listen to understand.

The last song is, Do Your Best by Seigaku, the Tenimyu Cast.

I know, they may not be the most amazing singers out there but I don't know why but I have personal love for this song. Maybe it's because I really like each and everyone of them or maybe this song is just a really good musical song. I don't know. It's just really fun and light. It's also really nice to listen to when you are down because it's just I don't know. It's also amazing because Yanagi is in this. Eventhough, he was involved in that accident but it's really amazing cause he doesn't give up and is still performing. To be honest, this cast is just AWESOME! I also love two versions of this, I love the Dream Live 3rd version and this version, the Hyotei Imperial Match (05) To be honest, while watching the third Dream Live, I cried, buckets! But, no matter what people say, I still think this song is amazing!

There goes. Haha. It took well, shorter than I expected but still it was still hard not to include any songs from ONE OK ROCK or TRAX or Super Junior or Ayumi Hamasaki but yeah, I think I would be okay with this songs. :)

till then.

first rain

I was asked this question a few days ago.

"Which video is your favourite k-music music video?"

I had three videos in mind and I could not make myself choose between the three since it's all that good. Two of the videos are from the same singer, who I extremely adore and the third is from a band I love since I don't even know when. Alright let me explain one by one. :)

First off, First Rain by TRAX.

I don't even know where to begin, this music video is just amazing to watch. There's no subbed version of this but you can pretty much get the gist of it.

There is three different version according to SMent plus one teaser but I suggest you to watch the full version. I have so many reasons as to why I chose this video in the first place but let's just keep the reasons brief. One, Jungwoo. One word explains everything, Jungwoo acts amazing in this video. Keep in mind, Jungwoo is usually very quiet and subtle in real life plus he's really a dork. So, when this video came out with Jungwoo acting all gangster, I was speechless and impressed, this boy really know how to act. He's also a great bassist so that is a plus, it's really a shame that he withdrew from the band but hey, as long as he is happy but if he is not, he better comeback.

Anyways, you should see for yourself, Jungwoo is really amazing in this. Second, Jungmo's cameo. Jungmo said it himself, "The point of this music video is to find me." He only has 15 seconds in this video but hey, he did well and everyone obviously thinks it's cute of him to be excited about his two lines. It's not really that hard to find him in the video and he was superbly cute. Third, Jay. With Lina of CSJH! This pairing is so amazing, I thought Jay wouldn't be able to pull this off since he is really, well, serious? Haha. Anyway, this pairing is just amazing. Lastly, the storyline. I'm not even sure if there was this type of video before them but so I'm not sure. But, I think it was the first for SMent. I think this was the first SMent video which featured a story and it's amazing. Basically, Jungwoo, Jay and Lina are friends but when Jungwoo starts feeling abandoned and jealous of Jay and Lina's relationship, he betrayed them by going over to another gangster but then I personally think there is this inside thing like Jungwoo going over that side for the sake of Jay and Lina. Haha. I really did my observation for this but I don't know, maybe he's just doing it for the money. But honestly, this video is just amazing and of course, the song and album is also amazing.

The second music video is Lee Seung Gi's When A Man Loves A Woman (Album's Music Video) The music video has three parts and it's comprises of songs from Lee Seung Gi Special Remake Album.

Reasons? Well, I really like Seung Gi and his voice. I believe this was his very first music drama. His previous music video before this was still 6 minutes long but I think this was his very first movie like music video. And it's really heartbreaking. Seung Gi is just too amazing for words. He's a well rounded entertainer and he works real hard. I really like this music video because of Seung Gi himself and the story line. There is an english subbed version in youtube but I'm just too tired to find it. But if you watch this video, I'm telling you it's worthed. And this album is just good. He remade songs from his seniors and he remade them well. I don't know why but I'm always bias when it involves him. I personally think he has one of the best voice in the K-Music industry. He trained well with his senior and this music video is just great. One, Seung Gi's acting, Two, Storyline; it's just so heartbreaking.


The third music video is Lee Seung Gi's White Lie. This music video just shows a different kind of Seung Gi.

He is really amazing in this. I think this was the start of really mature Seung Gi. But then, he had always been mature and that was one of the reasons why he is loved and why I love him. This music video touches story about the Japanese Occupation and well, I think if you watch this music video, you would really understand why I love the video. I don't know why but I liked it. I personally think, Seung Gi's song and voice plays a big part in why I always love his music videos. I mean, I have to admit from Because You're My Woman to Words That Are Hard to Say to Let's Break Up, I never did not like his music video. I love all of his videos to bit but this two videos is really at the top of my list.


Honorable mentions:

Epik High's Fan and One. Bay's To Music. Lee Jung's 그대만 보며. DBSK's Picture Of You. Buzz's My Love. IU's Mia. g.o.d's 2Love.

guess who's back?

Double S, OH-GONG-IL, baby! :D I can say this is definitely one of my favourite comeback of the year. I mean, I don't even know where to begin. Did you know how much I love their Rebirth album? I liked every single song in that album so obviously I have a huge expectation for this comeback. I was excited for 501 day and had to keep my patience button on when they had to push back their dates, but, It IS WORTHED. :)

This was the second stage comeback and I still love it! Do you know why? I can list so many reasons why and one of the reason is it was an amazing performance. I also have to mention that I think through out two of the stage, they had this consistency that I just can not explain about. I don't have enough words to express how much I love this comeback. One of the things that I love about it is, the song, It's like back to the past, No auto-tunes, Awesome lyrics. I mean, you should read the translation, my favourite two lines is definitely;


너를 보면 아파, 숨이 너무 가파, 이젠 내손 잡아
그 사람은 너를 사랑하지않는데 왜?
(It hurts when I look at you, It's hard for me to breath, now hold my hand
He does not love you, so why?)

세상모두 적이된다해도 나는 안돼
(Even if the world becomes my enemy, I don't care.)


Plus, the presentation, all I could say was Wow. I know a lot of people sang this type of song but this one, is just, different. It has this different feeling. I don't know how to explain. It's like a song where you are hurting but you still care about the person and you don't really care how much that other person is hurting you cause you would risk everything for her. Haha. I totally love this song.

And I have to say, I so love this comeback stage better than their Love Like This days, cause I don't have to complain about the hair. :D Did you know the only thing that turned me off during LLT days was their hair, I kinda hated Kyu Jong and Hyung Joon hair those days but this time, everyone looks so good. And you can definitely rely on DSP to bring something different to the table. I like their outfits actually, Haha. Why? I'm not sure why but it's just different. Maybe because I've seen a lot of performance with suits lately and all I could say was "Nice colour, Nice cut." and it was pretty much the same. So yeah.

I have to also mention, I absolutely love the characters they hold for this comeback. Do you see the intensity? The serious-ness? The determination. Oh god. I'm running out of words. But I think they definitely improved. The only problem I had with their Music Bank comeback was the camera and microphones. I definitely did want them to at least tape the mics. And Mr. Camera man, you missed Kyu Jong's major line, you also missed Young Saeng's stare, you know. As for the second comeback stage, Mr Camera man, you missed Hyung Joon's rap but you manage to capture Kyu Jong during his line, so I'll forgive you this one time. :P Did you know how much I love Hyung Joon's rap, he improved so much. I love.


Anyway, back to the album. Oh my god. I didn't know I would love the album this much. I mean, it's not the most different and outstanding out there but the meaning and melody. Oh god. I love this boys. They did not disappoint. I love each and every song. And I have a personal bias for 영원토록. Yes, to me, it's awesome. My favourite part?


"영원토록 날 바라봐요
영원토록 날 안아줘요
영원토록 날 사랑해요
우리 행복하도록
영원토록 그대만 보며 (영원히)
행복하길 기도해"


I love. And Let Me Be The One is such an amazing proposal slash love song. Haha. It's so sweet. Especially the chorus. I actually go to sleep with this song on ever since their comeback so I think that would explains how much I love this song. I just think this album is such love. Thank you, SS501 for doing this. I love you boys, you brought that extreme fangirl in me again. Haha.

I'll leave you with:

'Huh, not serious things

ICE 2010, D2.

Ah, finally finished my volunteer-ing part. I am very glad I took part of ICE 2010. It was definitely a worthwhile experience. It was definitely tiring but fun at the same time. I did so many new things and that's what I had aimed to do. We greeted with smiles. I tried hard to be not shy. I usually try my hard to just ignore people but with this job in hand, there is no such thing as being shy.

The first day was the most chaotic day, in a good way though. We had to settle the parking permit and then greeted the participants, telling them where to register themselves. We also had to do some other things but it was real fun and exciting at the same time. There were times when you feel like strangling someone by the hand but it's all good. Haha. Anyway, with ICE finish, I have a lot more time in my hand and I'm really planning on just spending most of my time resting and more resting. Been sleeping real late and waking up really early the past few days so I really need my energy back. Haha.

I finally read Dear John and watched three quarter of the movie, I have to say I like the book more. I don't know why but yeah. I also re-watched New Moon so I'm really super-ly excited for Eclipse. I'm only in it for the wolves. Yes, WOLVES. Sam, Jake, Embry! :D Haha.

Aww, when boys cry.

Okay! One, two, three, Stop!

-as said today.

Diana, Lina, Lila, Fifie and I went to The Mall yesterday. I had only one thing in mind, see the boys and girls. Haha, we wanted to offer little support. We actually had to settle some things at the Uni first yesterday but only settled half and had to continue it the next day which is today.

It was the first meet-up with the girls after our teaching practise so practically everyone was with their stories. We told each other everything and try to update each other with news and updates. Haha. It was as you can imagine, chaos. But it was fun because we talked and spend more time together. It was all good.

We went to The Mall just to see the boys and girls. It was the final round so Diana and I was both nervous and excited. I never knew and realised how even a short period of time will affect you in so many ways. I feel attached and very much connected to the place. When the announcer announced it was them who won, I went teary eye and proud. Aww, I said. Their effort along with the rest of the teachers definitely paid off. Plus when I saw the always cheerful boys cried I went "AWW. You boys so deserve this." And then the girls crying and sobbing made me "AWW, you girls really work hard and this is your reward." I truly believe they deserve it even though I sound bias, but yeah, that's how much I believe in them.

Anyway, finally finished everything in uni and we decided to have lunch over at home. We bought some food at Sumbangsih and ate at home, We were as usual super loud, happy, giddy and share stories together. We should do this often girls. We didn't do this the past few months so yeah. Next time, let's cook our meal instead of buying, alright? :D Soon, should do it when we are all freeeee. :D

New A-B-O!

credits: simplyerin.tumblr

Oh hi! First, I just have to shout "HOLIDAY! I LOVE YOU." Haha. Yes, Holiday is finally here after 3 months of really, being busy and stuff. I think most of my colleagues are happy at the moment, since we are finally free temporarily from stress, burden and responsibilities. Not to forget work! But, I have to admit, for the past few months, I was introduce to so many new things and so many new stories. I learn a lot from other and I learn a lot from myself. I saw a lot of new things about myself and other people's life.

I was always ignorant in the past, thinking only about myself and was pretty selfish but when you find yourself having to deal with 59 people every day, you are bound to learn new things, problems and life stories. So yeah, I learn a lot and I am satisfied. I was trying to be at my best and it definitely was a challenge with my temper and all. I know how my temper really effect people around me and I'm trying to change and be better and I'm working on it.

Self-reflection is a good thing but it's only super good when you take actions and learn from all the reflection. That's what I'm trying to do, trying to figure out and I'm sure I'll get there, I'll be okay and I'll be better, Insya-Allah. I won't change who I am but I'll be better. That's what I want for 2010. Hehe, alright, enough with this.

So, I've been watching Cinderella's Sister. I have to say, Taecyeon is doing real good in here, making me squish here and there and Moon Geun Young is of course always delightful to watch. I love the complexity she shows in her eyes. I just can't wait to watch the next few episodes! And Bad guy is gonna be on soon. Like, YAY! Kim Nam Gil! :D I actually have a long list of dramas that I need to watch so I'm trying to figure out which to watch first. Haha, I've told you, I lead a complicated way of life. Haha, alright I'll end this post since I don't have other things to say.

my very own fav.

I've been busy with games, plans and all sorts of things and I've been trying to push myself to blog out things but I just never had the time or motivation to blog. I wanted to blog but I just never really have any things to say. Right now, as you can read from my twitter post, I've been spending most of my time watching several videos and playing StarCraft. I've wanted to play since I don't know when. I think when I heard Kyu was crazy about it years ago.

I finally played the game when I watch the Progamer episode with Hyung Joon and that documentary on National Geo and when I knew my brother actually have the game already. I was taking mental notes a few weeks ago, telling myself to buy StarCraft but we actually have it and there's goes my time dedicating to StarCraft. My race is Zerg since I saw Hyung Joon playing it and I personally like Zerg. Haha. Personally, I like Zerg, I think their builds are easier to understand but hard to perfect.

And as you may predict I have my own favourite progamers and team. Looks up. Haha, I think they are just adorable. With the way they are sincerely helping Hyung Joon, giving him tips and sacrificing some of their practise time. They are awesome. I also like Bi-Su even though he doesn't talk much and there were several history between him and my current favourite team. I haven't seen Lee Jae Dong play so I can't say much. But I have to say Gyung Jong is my absolute favourite and he's a Zerg too so that's awesome. And he's awesome!

Alright enough of StarCraft. A few weeks ago I found out something new about myself. I actually have this thing call selective muting in myself. But not in a super serious way but I do find myself muting to several people. I can't bring myself to talk or communicate. But I think my problem is mainly not knowing how to socialise, how to be the first to open things up. I prefer if other people start talking to me first. I don't like being the first to strike up a conversation. I think I have to improve that and just try and deal with the problem.

I also recently found out how ignorant I am. I just realised how ignorant I am about people around me and things around me. Sometimes, I like it that way because I don't need to care about what's going on in other people's live but at some period of time it can be a negative thing when you act very ignorant and selfish. Being ignorant can also seem like you are being rude and just plain annoying. So, I try to be as open as possible and listen to other's opinion and says.

Whosh. Too many typing. Headache! :D

you are just another boy.

Blog, blog, blog. I told myself to update but I never got around to do it. Mainly because, I'm busy, too many works to do, my time is limited to other things such as rest. Haha. I don't know what to blog out because, apparently nothing much went on in my life for the past few weeks. Well, there's National Day celebration a few weeks ago and Maulud Nabi celebration last Thursday.

There's a lot of celebration going on but I'm actually pretty excited to be part of it. It's like, I finally experience the preparations hands on and all, it was certainly an experience. Also, I've been trying to stay positive for the past few weeks and I'm really hoping I'll stay optimistic. I know I can. Oh yeah, I finally finish one of the things I've started doing in 2010 and I am super glad I finished. *random.

Eish, too many random post up there. I should just strike through each and every word I've just type but I'm gonna leave them there. Oh! Did you know there's like gizzilions dramas about to air and it's like fighting for our attention, like LITERALLY. I am anticipating Bad Guy with Kim Nam Gil (Bi Dam!), Personal Taste with Son Ye Jin and Oh My Lady with Siwon. (Woooot!) Not to forget, there's also Paradise Rance which I'm gonna be nervous foooor. I don't know how B #2's gonna do but I hope he does well, as I've always said, I have faith in him. :D

I'm gonna end this post now, I'll try updating soon with a much more meaningful content next time.

till then

wai.

because i chose you.

I am so not ready but I need to be.

When was the last time I updated? Wednesday, and now it's already Sunday. For the past few days, all I did during my spare time was rest, rest, TV, videos and more TV. I'll be busy starting tomorrow, so expect a less updated blog. I'll try to update but if time is limited, that seems like a difficult thing to do. But then, there's always twitter. :)

Anyway, my month has been quite challenging because my mood is constantly changing, it's like very unstable. I guess it's because I'm nervous and my feelings are all like madness. Haha. I just hope I will be able to get through everything positively. I hate it when I'm a total hot-head and hot-tempering person. It's just never nice. I told myself to keep that resolution. That was the one thing I found hard to do. I can be very hot-tempered, I'm not even kidding. I find it scary myself.

Haha. Now, now, enough with that. I just hope 2010 will be a better, productive year. I want it to be a better year than before. Do you know what I hate the most? Not knowing what to expect. I don't like it when things are not going the way I plan it to be and that's just wrong. I hate that in me but not knowing what will happen makes me nervous. I personally think, I'm really hard to understand cause one day, I'm up and the next day I'm down. It's never consistent and sometimes very contradicting. So, let's just hope I don't get confuse more in 2010. Whaaaat?

Alright, I have to go. Badminton is on. :)

Even in my age now, I'm the same as before

As timid as before

~ No way to say - Ayumi Hamasaki.

(Translation by masa)

I'm currently listening to Ayumi Hamasaki's ~A Complete~. I'm feeling a bit nostalgic about it. I remember how much her song helped me through my teenage years. I think most of Ayu's song is almost like a soundtrack to me. It's like that one song which I hold onto and will never let go. I can listen to it over and over again and never get bored of it. Ah, I'm feeling a bit sentimental about this. I love her song to bits. I still love her and her songs. What I love so much about her song is that, it's real. You feel the same way, it's not fake. It's also very introspective and artistic.

My favourite is No way to say but then I actually love every single song she had produced and released. I may sound bias here, but I love her songs. It's deep, it hits the heart. I can actually cry when I listen to her albums. And whenever she performs, I just can't help but admire her. She always does her best and it's just lovely. I think I tend to talk about Ayu frequently. I just think, personally, she's one of the best entertainer/singer/songwriter who I have seen. She's true, never fake and always does her best in everything.

I think I've said this once in my blog, but If I were given a chance to attend anyone's concert, I would pick Ayumi's. The first time I saw her concert, I was blown away. It was almost like it's the best concert I've seen ever. It's entertaining filled with heart-felt performances which is always warm to the heart. The performances are always packed with surprises so you can't really help but enjoy the whole concert altogether. I wish I went to one of her tours. I mean like, seriously. Haha. There's a couple other concerts I would like to go to, but I'll post that out some other time.

everything is my life.

One of the most difficult thing to do is to support yourself and others at the same time. But, you did all of that, I'm proud, :)

Alright, Haha, back to reality! Next week, we'll be busy. I'm actually feeling very nervous but let's just hope for the best. I wanted to update, but I forgot what I wanted to talk about, haha. I hate this, when I sat, I had things I wanted to type in but when this window finally opens, zero, nil, nada. Let's just see where this goes.

Dreams, wishes, hopes, I had this as title a few days ago. I thought to myself, dreams, wishes and hopes, why do we have all this? I realise after watching a documentary, how much this three words helps you to be successful in life. With dreams, wishes and hopes, you can set your minds onto things. You have a purpose, you have aims. I understand how important those three things are now. I asked myself, what were my dreams, wishes and hopes? I don't want to take it lightly so I told myself to think about it hard and strive to fulfill it. I'm on way, I think. I'll get there. Insya-Allah. :)

Now, let's put that aside. Do you know I like watching fanfic trailers? Well, I do. I watch a lot of them so it's really like one of my interests. What I like about this videos, is that the makers are very creative. I mean, it takes talent to mix scenes from different movies or dramas to make a whole new story. The very first fanfic trailer that I watch was with YamaPi and Maki, I think I was in the whole Kurosagi mood at that time. That's when I found, a fanfic trailer for SUICIDE NOTE. I think, until now, it is still my favourite fanfic trailer. I just love the tracks, scene, blending and characters chosen. Haha, but then I think I'm bias, because during the promo, TRAX's song was use. I love TRAX. :)

something i said or didn't say?

I hate self-doubting myself. You know that feeling, it's hard to take in.


I never really knew how much I love writing until I read my old scribbling book. I guess, looking through the old times can be a good thing too. Yesterday, I spent an hour or so, reading through the old book, Wow. It was refreshing, remembering things you forgot. Even those things that made me happy back then, still put a smile on my face.

Anyway, I was reading Kyuhyun (BB!)'s interview last night and I can't help but say aww. Every single answer, word, expression, he is precious. I think he is just too precious, he has come a long way. I remember the day I first saw him in U. I went, awesome voice. He had this really awkward personality in him and that makes me love him more. When, he sang in K.R.Y live, I was impress every single time.

A month before his first year anniversary, 20th of April, I saw the news. Even before I finished reading, I cried, tears filled in my eyes. When, I saw the sentence 'the most injured and had a fractured hip'. I cried. And the updates weren't really helping, he was slipping through in and out of consciousness so it was really a heartbreaking day for me. Now, I'm amazed, amazed by his talent, well, actually everything. He's one precious, miracle boy, I tell you.

Alright, enough about Kyuhyun. I officially now, know how much I cringe when I watch a romantic movie or drama. It's not that I hate romantic moments, I just think some dramas and movies exaggerate this term. The things they say or do to make things seem 'loving' is just not my cup of tea. I think I am more of a comedy-mystery-action-light stuff person. I can be up for a little romance but it's just never really at the top of my choice. But, I do like some romantic movies such as; Doremifasolasido and when I say like, that means I watch the movie without fast-forwarding any of the stuff. I guess, I am very picky with movies and dramas, but I don't really think that is wrong. Haha.

and you are one of them.

I finally finished Thirteen Reasons Why last night. I'm so glad I read this book. & Of course, thank you to my sister who sent over the book. :) I've been wanting to read this book since I stumble it in a book-review blog. I was interested in the summary. The book tells the story of Hannah Baker who died, took her own life actually. It explains the thirteen reason why she decided her life should end.

She tells this reasons using tapes and we're reading through Clay's point of view. It's like a duo narrative writing. He's one of the reason she died, sort of. I started reading the book, scared. Haha, yes, I was actually scared cause the story itself sounds scary and haunting. But I brought myself to flip the book over, page by page. No, the writing made me turn the pages. To be honest, I liked the book. No, I love the book. I'm actually listening to those 'tapes' from youtube. Just like how I imagined it to be.

What I like about this strong book by Jay Asher is that it's well written. It's painfully honest, real, I think. This book teaches you something, show you something, teach you the meaning of consequences. It will make you realise that a small thing to you may lead to a painful memory to others. What I also like about this book is that, even though we know the clear ending to the story, Jay Asher was able to keep us reading, wondering, wanting to know; how, why, what the reasons were. And considering this is his debut novel, I think he did amazing. In words, this book is hauntingly beautiful and will always stay in the readers mind for a very long time.

Ah, blog. Hello. Haha. I wanted to post my re-caps of 2009 a few days ago but once again, I was distracted. This time, by Resident Evil 4. Haha. I was watching my brother play and I became so into the game and I kept telling him where or how to go to places, who to kill first, you get the gist, and I am the official puzzle solver in this house. *rightt.

So, before I start off my 'talking about 2010', let me just recap a little bit about my 2009. 2009 was definitely a different year. With so many things going on around me, it was hard to keep track of things. To me, 2009 went very fast, it's like snap-snap, here it is, 2010. I've done so many new things in 2009 and manage to keep half of my 2009 resolutions, so I'm a little bit proud of that. In 2009, I laughed, smiled, cried, got mad, was confused but managed to keep myself up and stable. It was hard but I think it's worth the experience.

I made a few memories in 2009; had to interview some people for an assignment (Know that I'm really bad with socialising), singing in front of the course mates, went to several more football matches and screamed really bad at the referee, laughing my guts out every time the girls and I do our works, watching movies with the girls, continue my Harry Potter time with my brother, my first sticker pictures, ah, there's so many more memories. I can't possibly list them all out. All in all, 2009 was a mixed-feelings type of year and it was one good ride, I think. :) I ended my 2009 with good events.

Haha, anyway, my 2010 so far (which is really just 4 days) was alright and had it's awesome moments. I went out with the family of course and we spent more time together. Haha. And yesterday was awesome and fun. I finally met up 2 of the bff;s. We had an awesome-ly funny time yesterday. We started off the day by having breakfast and trying to update each other with things. The funny thing was, we often go "Wait. There's too much to tell, which one should I tell first, Let me think." and that usually happens to me. Haha. Then, we went to watch Avatar, which is actually pretty enjoyable despite the frequent shocked the sound system gave me , I like the sound track. It's soothing but dramatic.

We went for lunch after the movie and this is when all the chaos, laughter starts; Haha. I love this two girls and it would be more fun-ner and chaotic if Nisah was here too. Let's go out when you're back, okay? :D Haha. Oh, I finally watched Crows Zero today. I know, I'm super late but it's okay. I wanted to watch it since maybe-late-07-or-early-08 and finally watched it this morning, hence the picture above. My verdict? It was a good movie. I mean, I'm always into those type of movies so it's really not a surprise. The only thing I had difficulty was deciding on which side to root for but I realised I don't want or need to do that. I mean, I can like both GPS and Serizawa Army, right?

I was impressed with the final battle and of course, that epic rain scene totally helped. Haha, I like how they had choreograph the fight scenes and how they shoot the scenes, it looked epic. It was awesome, I was literally dropping my jaw for 10 minutes or less. But then, I rarely see this type of scene so who am I to judge it. But I was impressed. Definitely better than some of the fight scenes I see on TV (I'm talking to you BOF. You ruin Baby #5) Yeap. I haven't watch the second movie, I'm planning on doing that tomorrow. Let's hope, I'm not too distracted with Voice. :D

till then
