Six Feet Under the Stars

This is not a proper update but I popped by because all I am doing now is burning CDs and I have to kill time or I'd be bored.

Exactly one more week to see All Time Low perform right in front of my eyes at Wavehouse Sentosa! I have been waiting forever for them so I really am stoked, though I was a little sad to see one of the setlists I found online because three of my favourite songs are missing from it! Where is Break Your Little Heart, Remembering Sunday and Therapy! :(

from setlist.fm

This is from their Australia tour though so I do really hope that they include the three songs in their gigs in Asia! All my friends who are going for the gig are kind of upset that Remembering Sunday was not included.

In other news, a band that Stef and I have been waiting for is finally coming down to Singapore after their long hiatus! Yes I am talking about none other than Good Charlotte!

It'd be really cool to be able to meet them so I'm definitely going down to the airport to try my luck just like I am doing so for All Time Low. Hope to get picks from them maybe? And pictures and autographs (hey I did not buy their albums for nothing ya know).
This gig is going to be at The Coliseum, Hard Rock Hotel at RWS. Yeah Sentosa again. Why can't these gigs be at a more accessible place?? They are performing on 18th November which is a Friday. And since it's still a school day, we'll just have to hope that it ends early and there are no major projects and such because that would suck so much. But till then, I'll just be looking forward to this event! My first rock concert with Stef hahaha gonna be interesting.

DATE
18 Nov 2011 
Fri, 7:30PM
 
DURATION
Approx 1hr 30mins 
VENUE(S)
The Coliseum™, Hard Rock Hotel® Singapore Resorts World™ Sentosa
Entrance: L1 Forum, Beside Hard Rock Cafe
TICKET PRICE (EXCLUDE BOOKING FEE)
Early Bird - $98 (29 Sept - 23 Oct)
Standard - S$108 (24 Oct - 18 Nov)

One thing to note though is that it is only open to those above 18. It's a Jack Daniel's event after all..
Tickets start selling today but there's no rush since it's not a K-Pop event (we have got this habit of buying tickets on the day it comes out all because of K-Pop).

I'm so restless right now but I don't even know what I feel like doing. Omg I hate this feeling. Pffft.

Is This All

Only two days left of internship and I'm having mixed feelings right now. I am relieved that it's finally over but yet kind of reluctant and sad to leave. I really will miss doing programmes, especially my K-Pop ones. Not to mention the thrill of getting and opening new CDs every time. Hahaha.

I'll be having a proper update soon, but not before Miss A's showcase on Friday that Brenda won us tix to! Excited!

Before I end, do check out this song: "Is This All" by Vanness Wu featuring Ryan Tedder from OneRepublic.


I hardly listen to C-Pop now but I really like this song. Not the conventional trashy pop or ballads, you can totally hear OneRepublic's style in there - all the strings instrumentation and basically the arrangement of the music. Blah blah blah okay it's time to sleep. Good night folks, all the best for the last couple of days of internship!

Dying to Live Again

Tired of always saying sorry
It's just another fighting story
And I can barely walk a straight line
I'm tired of learning life the hard way
I wish that being strong was easy
But I want it more this time

I was wrong. It's hard to say
At least I learned from my mistakes
I would change everything

'cause I can't wait for the day
When finally I can say and you'll believe it
I can change and now I mean it
And I will fight for a way
To make up for the mess that I've been leaving
A second chance is all that I'm needing and
Anything. I can do. Just to make it up to you
I would do anything
I'm dying to live again

I was such a fool to hurt you
'cause you're the one I always turn to
When I'm going out of my mind
I just bite the hand that feeds me
Instead of loving ones that need me
But I want it more this time
I was wrong. It's hard to say
At least I learn from my mistakes
I would change everything

I pray that you'll see what I've become
I would give it all away to right all the wrongs I have done
I don't wanna fall for the same mistakes again
What's it going to take for this misery to end?

Anything I can do. Just to make it up to you
I would change everything

___________________________________________________________________

I freakin' love this song.

Knock Out

I have no idea why I have been feeling so tired these past few days. I think I should blame it on the weather. And mind you I have been sleeping earlier than I usually do okay! But omg, one more week of SIP, and I won't have to wake up so early anymore - at least till school reopens. Totally not looking forward to doing the report. I'd definitely have to make a mental note to screenshot everything that I am gonna be including into the report. Have already gotten a couple of them but I guess more is better.

Went for the World Runway Premiere thanks to one of the Jap presenters who presents for my company. She got a few invites and asked if we would like some. Of course I gladly obliged and I asked a few others along. I'm especially glad I asked Rachel along because she brought along Taemin's jacket (he left it in her dad's van when he fetched SHINee) and I got to wear it for a while.

HEHE *spazz*

The execution of the whole programme was quite problematic. We had to wait really long between segments because the crew had to set-up but I guess since that was the first time the event was held, it was understandable. There were stylists and models from 8 countries - USA, UK, Brazil, France, Russia, Italy, Japan and Singapore, and it was pretty interesting I must say. It was kind of like a competition and UK came out tops in the end. Russia had uhm...really interesting fashion. I liked France's the most though. They showcased stuff that people would actually wear out, unlike some of the other outrageous outfits.
Of course, the real reason we went for this event was to see SE7EN perform! I find that he is so underrated because he was really really good! He danced really well and he nailed all his falsettos and along with his trademark handstand, I was really awed. I wish that he sang 'I'm Going Crazy' which is my favourite song from him but I wasn't expecting him to sing 'Come Back to Me' so I guess that was a pleasant surprise!





It is gonna be more eventful this coming weekend though! Going to watch the F1 stage performances with Stef and a few others tomorrow - mainly GD&TOP and Seungri (I wish Taeyang was coming too though). I hope it will not be too crowded and crazy. I'm really drained and I really don't wish to be jostling with 1000 over people. I don't think tomorrow will be as bad as the final day which has Linkin Park though. If any idiot beside me is gonna be moshing I will freakin' ppeogigayo you.

Sunday will be the final DBS Black Top Party and hopefully we can catch some F1 action? I really like events where you can talk to people and all heh it makes me feel good in some way when people do actually engage in my conversations, LOL. Brenda will be joining us this time too!! :)

Time is moving crazily slow today. Just finished mixing a programme but I'm trying to stall time so that I look like I have something to do. Falling sleep and I hope I don't die before work ends.

Oh yes! And I got my first Youtube honour yesterday: #29 - Most Viewed (This Week) - Musicians - Singapore.

Woot! *throws confetti*

Beautiful Target



What wrong can these five boys do?? Even their live performance of this is amazinggggg but I'll never get all the weird Engrish lyrics in K-Pop. 'Oh my beautiful target, you zoom zoom my heart like a rocket' hahaha seriously?
Whatever heh I really like CNU in this comeback! And Baro's rockin' the blonde! Still prefer him with his black hair though.

They don't specialize in a specific field but their I never ever get tired of watching their performances. On their stage they are just having fun and everything just seems so bubbly and happy. Hehehe.

Sighh B1A4 kept me happy the whole day even though I had an awkward encounter. Sigh why of all people?? LOL goodnight! :)

Adventure

I woke up really late just now and yeah I was late for work. Kinda upset that my punctuality streak is broken but uh well, what's done is done. I really must make it a point to let my alarm snooze in the morning. I'm guessing that I'll have to stay back for a little bit one of these days, within the next two weeks to be exact. Supervisor's not in but I'm pretty sure she'll know about it. My colleagues were nice though - they thought I got into an accident lol. They said it isn't in my nature to be late. Haha yay I'm glad they know that!

Speaking of nature, being the adventurous bunch that we are, we headed down to Pulau Ubin on Sunday (the day after SHINee's concert omg I was really tired - didn't help that I was suffering from post-concert blues) for some fish spa and lagoon kayaking at not very heaven-like Celestial Resort. Honestly the place seemed pretty cool but the toilets and shower facilities were really really bleahhh.

Fish spa was boring for me because I refused to let fish bite me. So I was pretty much just sitting and chilling while everyone else got their feet cleansed of dead skin. Kayaking was obviously fun for me! That's what I came for in the first place. It was fun and tiring. After intentionally capsizing, Jon and I were just wading around in the water with Brenda. The life jacket was suffocating me though and when I came out of the water I was met with a headache. I'm thinking that it is because of my motion-sickness. Meh why am I so problematic? :(

Craziness on the boat on the way back to Changi Jetty

Gotta love these people *inserts big heart*

SHINee World

Started out my Saturday morning by speed-reading Norwegian Wood while Stef the pig lay in her bed for eternity.
We met up with Rachel before the SHINee World Concert and bought lightsticks and went in. I was quite surprised that the concert actually started on time.

Anyway, SWC was everything that I have been waiting for the past couple of months. It was nothing short of amazing - even though the boys seemed really tired. Such is the magic of these five shining boys, it would definitely have been flawless if they have had a good rest before it.

Nevertheless, I thoroughly enjoyed myself and I remember all the excitement cooped up inside me letting itself out when 'The SHINee World' came on. I was pretty sure they were lip-syncing to this song and a few others though.

The 'Intro' segment included catchy dance songs like 'Senorita', 'A.Mi.Go', 'Juliette', 'Love Should Go On' and 'Stand By Me'. Key and Minho kept coming to our side. We were totally getting crazy whenever any of them came to our side.




We were sitting at the Terrace seats but trust me it was really really near whenever they came to the extended stage. So close that I could take shots like these:


Yeah Onew hardly came to our side so when he did I made it a point to snap as many shots as possible. All for you, Rachy!

The next segment were the solo stages and it started out with Taemin's stage, 'Romeo+Juliette'.


Poor boy was out of tune almost all the way! :( But the dance break was flawless. Really, he showed everyone once again why he is SHINee's dance machine. And while I'm here let me proclaim my love for this maknae. I LOVE TAEMIN. Lol okay sorry.
After that was Jonghyun singing 'This Woman's Work' originally by Kate Bush.


Unfortunately he was singing the whole thing in Engrish so I really didn't understand 90% of the song. Haha so sorry Jonghyun. Your vocal range is still amazing though. But you really have to stop straining cuz my throat hurts for you everytime you do that.
Right after that was yes, OMG, Minho! Stef totally couldn't control her excitement LOL but I really can't blame her. He was really hot. Really!!! Hahaha.


See I wasn't kidding!! Hahaha. Yup, he totally brought down the roof at the Indoor Stadium.
Right after that was 'My First Kiss' by Key ft. *sigh* Barbie Tae.


Seriously Taemin GET OUT OF THAT. It was really really hard to watch you know. It felt like he was an underaged prostitute whoring around. :( I still love you though Tae. Nevertheless it was entertaining and it was definitely one of the performances that kept the audience high all the way although it was my least favourite performance LOL.

One of the segments that I enjoyed most was the 'Sweet Serenades' segments where the boys crooned out ballads like 'Quasimodo', 'Life' and the one which captured my heart the most, 'Romantic'. It had me close to tears, especially after Taemin's part (he sang one small part wrongly but all's well because he is cute). Arguably my favourite SHINee song. The segment ended with none other than...


Onew's rendition of the Italian operatic piece called 'Nessum Dorma'. He hit every high note perfectly and he totally exceeded my expectations. One shouldn't expect any less from Leader Jinki!!

The final set was what brought the atmosphere to an all time high though. With jams like 'Ring Ding Dong', 'Up & Down', 'Ready or Not' and 'Lucifer', we stood up with our lightsticks in hand, and started bopping to the to the beat and screaming our lungs out for the fanchant of 'Lucifer'. It was crazy!!


Then came the encore which started off with 'JoJo' and properly ended with 'One'. I was kind of tearing during the final song, partly because it was a ballad and with the members giving their thank you speeches and everyone singing Key a birthday song, the whole atmosphere of the stadium was just really touching. :')






Of course, no SHINee concert is complete without playing with water. Well mainly it was just Taemin, Minho and Jonghyun.






It was definitely a night I will always remember. It may not have been great in the eyes of critiques and reporters for the newspapers but the most important thing is that those who were present enjoyed themselves.  Thank you Running Into the Sun for bringing them in at a crazily high price. Thank you to Stef's aunt's colleague for helping us secure such excellent seats. Of course, thank you Stef and Rach, my two concert companions! The experience would have been really really different without the both of you.



And the last but definitely not least, thank you to the five boys of SHINee for that amazing night. I love all five of you heh. Don't come back so soon because we are all broke. Haha.

I'm sorry that I suck at theory exams no matter how much I study.
I'm sorry that I''m only good at technical stuff.
I'm sorry that I didn't want to go to one of them prestigious secondary schools and went to a full-express stream neighbourhood school where I spent the best four years of my life at because I wanted to join TK Band.
I'm sorry that I went to Temasek Poly instead of Temasek JC because I wanted to join CMM.
I'm sorry that in my entire life I've only taken up leadership roles of Class Monitor, Prefect, Councillor, Band Major, Section Leader, Librarian and Band President.
I'm sorry that most of my teachers like me.
I'm sorry that my Mathematics in primary school improved from a fail to A.

What are they? I can't even see them because they stretch all the way the Mars.

Pfft, seriously. Enough of this crap alright just accept that I am naturally not as good at theory as I am at technical work. You honestly think I don't study? Yeah okay I suppose I wrote all my notes in my sleep.
I'll never be like my clever JC friends and I'll forever be a stupid useless piece of shit okay. I wish you had stayed in Perth until I was born and leave me there for someone else to find me...or not.

Either way, I'd be happier.

Yeah anyway check out my latest cover, '0330' by U-Kiss. Did this a while back but only finished editing it recently. Your take on it?


Haha talk about shameless promoting.

4 More Things

Following my '7 Things' post, Stef has given me 4 more things to write about because I am currently really really bored during work now. And the list goes like this:

1. Amber of f(x)
2. Baro of B1A4
3. Why I Choose Not To Be Feminine
4. Something I Would Want to Venture in Besides Music

1. Amber of f(x)


She is undeniably one of the coolest K-Pop idols I know. I mean, it is really not surprising that she's one of my idols considering that Ella from S.H.E was my first idol, right? These 'tomboy' idols are classic examples of the fact that you do not need to be really girly or sexy blah blah blah to be successful.

In every f(x) performance, the loudest of cheers goes to her. She has so many fangirls who look up to her and yes I am one of them. In any case it's so much better to have female fans looking up to you then have fanboys lusting over you. Eew.

Oh, I totally love her English accent and her swag while she's rapping too! And seeing that she is really close to many idols in the industry, I guess she must be really friendly too! She's really down-to-earth and not arrogant too, which is a commendable trait for people who are famous.


WOAH MAD SWAG.
And here's a random f(x) gif LOL.



2. Baro of B1A4



Cha Sunwoo, rapper and resident squirrel of B1A4. The band caught my attention with their first single 'O.K' and I totally fell in love with Baro when I saw their 21st May Music Core performance.


Everything about this performance is perfection! You can hear their voices clearly, the camera work is great, Baro exceptionally adorable but at the same time he still looks cool, a Baro/Gongchan interaction at the end, and the way Baro grabs his cap whenever they jump (I think it's a bit loose).

HIS AEGYO AND CUTE PERSONALITY.


This has got to be the cutest thing ever! Hehehe.
Personality wise, maybe because B1A4's just a rookie group, they are still really humble and all. When they came to Singapore as I blogged about before, a few of us managed to catch the boys. As I was walking beside Baro, I held out my poster and marker for him to sign and he did stretch out his hands, but the security kinda blocked me and he gave me an apologetic look. I still can remember that look on his face. Yeah that incident firmly rooted him at the top of my B1A4 bias list.
There was apparently an incident that happened in Singapore too where a security guard accidentally (or not) stepped on a fan's note which fell to the ground and Baro became angry. Aww, such a sweet boy, really.

HIS TALENTS.
Well first off, he can rap (duh) and he does it with a lot of...well, swag. Yes I know I have been using this word a lot please pardon me. But he has a really deep voice so when he raps it is really nice. He writes his own raps too - the rap parts in all of the five songs are written solely by him!

But the talent I love most about him is that he can beatbox!
For me, beatboxing is one of the most admirable talents. Contrary to belief, it is not simple at all and it doesn't only require using the mouth. The throat is also required in beatboxing and it is something that I have not been able to do yet.


Absolutely love the beatbox here. Can he be my teacher? Hahahaha.
He is really athletic as well!! I mean, you know you are athletic when you are able to beat Minho in a race. Lol.

There are so many other reasons why I love this boy but I can't really think of any more right now, so I'll just leave this as it is!


3. Why I Choose Not To Be Feminine

Well this is an interesting topic. I have no idea when this whole 'I don't wanna wear skirts/dresses' thing started actually. When I was younger (like in primary school) I was still fine with wearing those and I even liked wearing heels, LOL. But I guess the mindset of 'I had short hair so I should wear more boyish stuff' took over. I guess the mindset has sunk in so deep that I still am unwilling to wear skirts even though i have long hair now. I still think my current style suits me the best. I guess the most important thing is that I must feel comfortable in what I wear, or I'd feel really uncomfortable the whole day.

Actually I think if you mix around with me long enough, you'd be able to see that I'm not all that tomboyish. I do dress like one but my actions are still really...quite girly?? Hahahahahahahaha I'm serious though!

I wish my friends will stop wishing that I'd wear a dress one day though because it gets a little irritating at times, especially if I'm not close to the person damn it go away please go wear a tablecloth or something, don't bother me! Whatever that is going to come will come eventually. I'm not saying that this is going to come though. Hahaha *inserts troll face*


4. Something I Would Want to Venture in Besides Music

Hmm, I honestly don't have something that I really want to do besides music but I would like to try acting one day. Haha yes something to do with entertainment too.

I think my acting's pretty good LOL. Like I can make myself cry at will, and I can hold back laughter fairly well. I think I'd do pretty well at crying and breaking down scenes, or as a person who took a bullet for someone. HAHA my imagination's taking me a bit far but yes, acting is something that I want to try if I ever get the chance.

This may not be realistic and all but heyyy I'm still young I can still dream!! Or would you guys have preferred me to write about how I would love to work in administrative office? Nah I don't think so.

_________________________________________________________________________

About half an hour left till the end of work! Gonna meet mum at 313@Somerset later and get my Hebe album! Will come back here soon!

And to anyone who ever visits this space any more, have a happy weekend! x

1NFINITE


This must be the happiest day for me as an Inspirit. I swear I was almost gonna bawl LOL. Especially when I saw Woohyun, Dongwoo, Sungjong and Hoya cry. Congratulations Infinite! I am so happy for you boys. Gosh I cry every time I see the video.




Infinite fighting!! I love all of you!!


Always remember 1st September, 2011.

7 Things

Alright. I was supposed to have completed this March last year but well.. yeah I didn't.
Well basically Stef gave me 7 things and I had to explain what they mean to me and why I am interested in them. And since it has been such a long time and my interests have changed from March 2010, she gave me a new list, and it goes like this:

1. Real Madrid
2. Am I Really Lactose Intolerant?
3. Woohyun from Infinite
4. MS B
5. Future Taylor and Tyler
6. One Thing I Wish Occurred Earlier
7. If I Could Change One Thing About Myself

Yup, guess I'll start the ball rolling now. Leggo! (Let's go in rap slang)

1. Real Madrid


Call me superficial, but I really started liking Real Madrid after 2010's World Cup. I supported Spain during that period (I still do) and a certain player caught my eye - Sergio Ramos. He plays as a right back and is dubbed by many as the best right back in the world. Anyway, while watching the Spain matches I noticed that he does a hell lot of running up and down the right flank, and in the finals he had two chances to score (which he missed unfortunately) but his headers usually find their target. Yeah so from there, I started noticing him and slowly I gained more interest in Real Madrid.

I love watching them play. Spanish soccer is classy soccer, as many say. And I couldn't agree more with that. The teamwork and camaraderie in this team is amazing and it is a joy watching them play (maybe except against Barca because I always get really annoyed during El Clasicos). They have so many impressive players. From captain Iker Casillas, the long range shot master Xabi Alonso aka the captain without an armband, aggressive vice-captain Sergio Ramos, to Germany's Ozil who creates a hell lot of chances for scoring, and of course, the scoring machine Cristiano Ronaldo. To be honest, I hated him at first but after I liked Real Madrid, the hatred disappeared and well, all I can say now is that I support him along with the rest of the team. The striking force consisting of him, Angel di Maria, Benzema, Adebayor and Higuain is definitely not one to be reckoned with.

And after all this technical talk, allow me to be superficial once more and let me just say that Real Madrid has a squad with the most good looking players. I mean, watching few nice handsome faces while watching a game never hurt anyone. Fabio Coentrao, Sergio Canales and Kaka, just to name a few, are the few charming faces one can look out for in this team. Too bad Canales is on loan to Valencia.

I am proud to be a Madridista can foresee myself sticking by this team for a very long time to come. Great job to my boys for an awesome start to the season, go out there and kick some balls! Literally. Hala Madrid!!




2. Am I Really Lactose Intolerant?


(Sorry just had to insert this. A little Taemin never hurt anyone.)

Honestly, no, I'm not. But I just can't take anything that's too creamy or tastes too creamy. Like those cheese thingys that you sprinkle on pizza and pasta? No I can't take that. But melted cheese is really fine with me.

I have no idea when I started disliking milk. After all, everyone drinks milk when they are young. However, I do vaguely remember during Primary school, my mum used to make Milo for my breakfast but she'd add lots of milk (even after the countless times I have told her that I hated it) and I'd pour it all away when she wasn't looking. This happened for a couple of years (I'm not even kidding lol) until one day I was caught (oops) and so she stopped adding milk into my Milo LOL.

I can't take stuff like Milk Tea or any pastries or cakes which has lots of cream (fresh cream is fine though). I love cream soups though but I can't take it if it's too creamy either. Basically as long as I'm not turned off by the smell, I will consume it. It goes the same for all of my food.


3. Woohyun from Infinite


Hmm, where do I start? It wasn't his looks which attracted me in the first place - it was his voice. While I was watching the She's Back video shortly after K-Pop Night 2010 in which Infinite performed in, I kind of 'rose to attention' to the voice which had the long 'she's baaaaaaaaaaack' but I didn't know who was the person who sang that. Actually, I didn't know any of the members names back then.
It was not until 'Nothing's Over' that I knew all their names. That was the first time I actually went to look at their faces properly and the one who caught my eye was, coincidentally, none other than Nam Woohyun!

THE FACT THAT HE IS IN INFINITE.
Widely known as the 'in-sync oppas', they can dance better than many of the other idols in the industry.


Definitely one of the most talented groups in the K-Pop industry now, they have made their way into third place on my bias list, next to SHINee and FT Island. 
I remember that I started liking them when I saw them 'live' during last year's K-Pop Night and they caught my eye with their sleek dance moves. Not forgetting the catchy tunes like 'Come Back Again'.
Their next comeback was 'BTD (Before the Dawn)' and I really liked that song, although at that time I still could not recognize them because most of their hairstyles were the same, LOL.
Their subsequent singles, Nothing's Over and Can U Smile then put them on my bias list and I fell in love with them even more after they released their first full album recently. The songs in there are too addictive, hehe.

HIS VOICE.
Being one of the two lead vocalists in Infinite, he has an amazing voice totally suited for ballads. I love how he puts his emotions into their live performances. An example is 'Can U Smile' - he looks like he is on the verge on tears every time they perform that. Also, listening to his solo song, 'Time', from their full-length album, makes me want to cry every time.


He didn't do as well as he had wanted to because he had a high fever just before this. Despite being sick, he still put up such a great performance. (Going off topic a little, how nice it would be to have people chant my name like the end of the video. Hahahahahaha.)

HIS FAIL AEGYO.






He is not the best at this and he knows it but he still keeps doing it. Talk about being thick-skinned! And I thought having the maknae doing aegyo was enough. I am not going to post any videos of those here for the sake of your sanity. Interestingly though, I feel that I share the trait with him right here. It's true I can't do aegyo, and I try hard. And mostly it just backfires, just that I don't get hit like Woohyun does.

HIS PERSONALITY. (I don't know why but I seem to be able to relate to this part.)
I love his flirty replies to his fans on their UFOTOWN. If it was some random person of course it'd be creepy but fans absolutely love replies like that.



How sweet! 



This whore is obviously not shy and he loves showing off! But damn, those abs! Where has chubby Woohyun gone to? Looks like he has been working out for his many many wives. Hahaha.
He is always the life of the party and also the group's happy pill. I consider myself the crazy one among my friends and I always do stupid things too so I can totally relate to this. 
Despite all these acts though, I believe that when he meets his 'special one', he will definitely treat her with lots of respect and sincerity. But then again, that is what every fangirl would think of her idol.

He may seem to be just one of the idols on my never-ending list of biases but he will always be one of those special ones at the top, probably just second to Taemin. I really hope to be able to meet him one day.
I love you Namstar!! *inserts big heart shape*


4. MS B


MS B is a group formed by myself (lead vocalist), Stef (lead dancer) and Brenda (leader). The name MS B was inspired by the group miss A, and coincidentally, it shows the initials of our names. It started out for fun actually, I think. Then Brenda and I made a mini album for Stef as her birthday present with some of our random covers. So after that we started making covers together like 'Pinocchio' and 'Mr. Taxi', and recently we finished 'Hot Summer' and 'Good-bye Baby' and we are in the midst of a couple of photoshoots and we are going to film a music video soon. Lots of work but all in the name of fun!
Jonathan is our manager and we have two resident stylists - Yiyun and Melodi.

Enough of our profile though, the people in MS B mean more to me than anyone can ever imagine. Besides meeting for weekly dinners, we still do go out on weekends. And at this point of time they are my closest friends. As cheesy as it sounds, I really don't think I can live without them.

Brenda, please do know that even if I always tease you, I'm doing it out of affection alright! Hehe. And as for Stef, well I honestly don't know what else to say because whatever I'd like to say would be repetitive. Oh and though I seem to love Brenda more from my body language I hope you know you're still my no. 1 okay! HAHAHAHA oops. ;P But seriously, I don't know how you put up with my rants and complaints all the time. I rant to you so often that it seems mandatory already. So really, thank you so much for being so patient with me and putting up with my nonsense. I know you feel embarrassed whenever you go out with me though :( But I'm not planning to change. Hahaha.
Of course, not forgetting our manager oppa Jonathan! You are a really great person to spill my guts out to because you are a good listener and yeah 'managing' us three girls must be a handful. You're doing a great job so far! Fighting!!

Anyway, we should continue doing these kind of useless things because it's fun. And the company's great too. Here's hoping MS B will go on for a long long time to come~ 이해리, 호현애! 난널 정말 정말 사랑해! (translation: Lee Hae Ri, Ho Hyun Ae! I really really love you!)


5. Future Taylor and Tyler

This basically refers to my kids in the future. The girl's name will be Taylor and the guy's will be Tyler. I don't know why but I really like these names. I guess it helps that they are names of artistes who I look up to a lot. 
All my friends know that I love children and I seem to be able to interact with them without much difficulty. It's either that I'm motherly or that my mental age is the same. Personally, I prefer the latter. Hahaha better to be young than old! :)

I always say that I want to be a cool mum and have cool kids and I do believe that I can do it. I would like an older boy and a younger girl. Maybe it is because of the stereotype that the older brother will take care of a younger sister. Or maybe it is just because I have always been yearning for an older brother. My kids will be musicians and I will train my boy to sing well and play the guitar. Who doesn't like a guy who is able to do these two well? Hehe. My girl will learn the drums and the piano. Two very contrasting instruments but it can show her versatility. A charming boy and an edgy girl - that's the way! And maybe if my other half is also a musician we could form a family band. Omg cool, no??

As much as I love kids though, I can never imagine taking care of one for a long time. Sure I love playing with them but the amount of commitment and effort need to raise a kid is..well let's just say it's something I will never be able to achieve now. Truth be told I don't even know how to carry a baby or toddler properly! And I wouldn't want to employ a nanny to take care of my child or they may become too attached to their caretaker. So many questions and so many problems I can't solve. I guess it'd be a while before I really really really am ready to have kids. Hahahaha I sound as if I'm of the desired age to have children already what the heck.


6. One Thing I Wish Occurred Earlier

This one kind of got me thinking because honestly everything's really great now but if there's really one thing that I have wanted to occur earlier, it would be learning how to play the guitar.
I have always wanted to learn how to play this instrument but it wasn't till I saw Eudora play at Rachel's birthday party last year that I resolved to learn it. I vaguely Shao Liang teaching me the G chord that day, lol.
I bought my guitar, Paul, on the 19th of March last year and I bought my second one, Zack on February 22nd earlier this year.

I have only been playing for about one and a half years so I'm still pretty much of a noob. Well, partly because I find it sufficient to be able to play simple chords and strum so I have an accompaniment to sing to. Learning to sing and play was surprisingly easy but if you give me more complex chords I'd have difficulty. I can't pluck or do any finger styles either although I have been practising on that recently.

If I started learning the guitar earlier, I'd be pretty much good at it now. Just like piano and french horn I guess - even if I don't practise for months I am still able to play and pick it up again really fast. I would also be able to tune my guitar by ear and also play by ear, which are some others things I can do on my other two instruments.

And by now I would have been able to record my own cover with the backing instrumental played by me too! But no that's probably not gonna happen, at least not in the near future.


7. If I Could Change One Thing About Myself

My face. Why am I so ugly!! LOL okay I'm kidding.

Hmm, if I could change one thing about myself, it would be my ego. I'm really short but I have an annoyingly big ego. I can't stand losing to others in stuff that I feel that I'm good in. I can't stand people out-talking me. I can't stand people insulting me, which is really ironic since I was often bullied in Primary School and Secondary School and I probably would have gotten used to it (yes I was a victim of bullying would you believe it pffft I think people were jealous of me being teacher's pet). Calling me competitive is right . Thankfully though, I have never overreacted or anything like that so I guess I still have good sportsmanship.

I still recall in Sec 1, we had this inter-class street soccer competition and naturally I was playing. My team mates were not playing very well (although we did win the first match because of a penalty scored by yours truly) and I was really really frustrated. I think I almost blew, lol. Yeah, I have a bad temper too and I'm really petty too. Recently it has became better though. Maybe it is because there are less irritating people nowadays compared to my younger years.
