~~>Sunday 31.12.06<~~
Feeling: meh
It's New Year's Eve! Woohoo~ And Uncle Yenny, party animal that she is, has opted to stay at home. w00t. u__u
Meh oh well, at least I'm not the only one. Got mOe-ie and Jaclyn-sama accompanying me on msn, and a whoooole night ahead of some good quality ISWAK time.. hoho! >=D
Usually at this time of the year, when I blog for the very last time, I'm all mopey and full of self-wallowing pity, feeling sorry for myself.. Bitching about how lousy the past year has been.. Griping about how little I've achieved, because I'm a lazy sod who can't be eff-ed putting two ounces worth of effort into anything I do. Then I go out and drink, stumbling around like a loser, following the crowds, thinking it's ever-so-cool.
Meh. This year I really can't be stuffed.
LAZINESS PREVAILS!
Hoho!
I really don't see what the hype about Southbank or the Gold Coast is anyway. If you've been there once, twice, thrice, it's the same thing every year. Boooor-ing. u__u Not to mention how jam-packed it is with idiots. The tards who think they're cool. The little tryhards out in full force. The gangster-wannabes. The little skanks with their skirts hitched up to their butt cheeks so that they might as well not be wearing anything at all.
Bleh.
But oh well. Whatever lights your candle I guess u__u
To those out revelling, hope you're having an awesome night.
To those at home... w00t! I salute you!
Haha ~__~
And that, my sons, brings my very last blog entry for 2006 to a close.
Laaaater days!
~~>Wednesday 27.12.06<~~
Feeling: gripey
I just don't understand why people keep trashing on Big Bang's new album! Sure, they're a hiphop group, and their title track breaks the mould because it has a pop/punk feel. But who the fuck cares?
Is it really so wrong for them to branch into another genre? Are people saying that pop artists shouldn't be allowed to rap, or that balladeers shouldn't ever be allowed to sing upbeat songs?
It should be about the music! If 'Dirty Cash' a catchy song, isn't that all that should matter?
If DBSK or some other group renowned for being a typical boyband had sung the song, everyone would be raving about it and lavishing praise on them like there was no tomorrow.
For crying out loud.
People should just take it as proof that Big Bang can be versatile and do more than just one freaking style of music, and accept it already!
GET OVER IT!!!
~~>Tuesday 26.12.06<~~
Feeling: meh
Have you ever wanted, so badly, to wrap your arms around someone and hold them tight.. tell them that you'll look out for them.. you'll be there for them.. and that everything will be alright..?
I hate that feeling.
I hate the way it grips your heart and mind so fiercely...
And I hate the way there's not a single damn thing you can do about it.

3 cheers for pre-made cookie dough, which allows n00bs in the kitchen, like me, to make cookies like these (of course I added in those sprinkles of my own accord, because I am the world's biggest sugar + fake colouring and preservatives junkie <3 ):
w00tw00t!!
In fact it's given me such an ego trip that I'm even going to attempt to make my own cookie dough tomorrow.
Pre-made cookie dough FTW!! muahahaha >=D

Feeling: bleh-ed
Huu~ u__u
Sooo.. Before I bid goodbye to teenager-ism and all things immature.. *cough* yeah right *cough*.. in about 11 minutes..
Hmm.. Well I can't really think of what I wanted to say properly.
Booo~ Words fail me. Again.
I'm going senile, I swear. I blame Poueblo. �__�
*waves fist at Poueblo Smaczylo, who will probably never read this anyway ~__~*
I feel totally and utterly useless. Almost 20 years of life gone and what do I have to show for it?
Pretty much nothing that I feel proud of.
Bleh.
Birthdays do a great job of making you realise how much time you've wasted and how unproductive you've been with your life.
It's like an annual reminder of just how much of a bum I really am.
Here's to hoping I'll turn over a new leaf once midnight hits.
~~>Friday 15.12.06<~~
Once in a blue moon, you come across an artist who makes music that is entirely worth your undivided attention.

And who are they signed with...?
None other than...... YG Entertainment.
Surprise, surprise.
Now let us all gather around the bonfire and hail YG, who will always, always, ALWAYS beat the crap out of SM.

~~>Sunday 10.12.07<~~
Feeling: exhausted
It's just past midnight which makes it Sunday officially, and I am freaking exhausted.
Just spent the last 4 hours downloading, editing and reuploading the final parts of Brian Joo's comeback perf from two nights ago.. Had a heart attack when the Clubbox download froze.. twice.. And what should've taken 45 minutes to download somehow ended up taking 2 hours. .__.
And not to mention poor Wannie, who had managed to download it and was trying to reupload it for everyone, when it cancelled at about 60% .__.
It was 143mb!!! GARGH!!
Because I could not be bothered trying to upload 143mb, only to FAIL halfway because of my crappy Internet, I spent about 2 hours trying to figure out how to cut the video so that it was just the interviw + Barae! Barae! perf. Especially as the Kajima perf already went up last night, and so people have one half of it and only need the trimmed part to make it complete u__u
It was tiring. And irritating. Not to mention incredibly patience-testing.
And you know what the best part about it all is? Brian had another "comeback" perf with MBC Show Music Core tonight (or should I say last night), which makes this entire M.Net perf pretty much obsolete.
Booo~~!! �__�
I am officially sick of this all, and I never want to see this performance again.
(The MBC one on the other hand is a different story ^^) =P
But anyway.. What's done is done, and here are the fruits of tonight's harvest:
M.Net Interview + Barae! Barae! perf

Argh.. Now I'm finally guna drag my sorry ass off to bed and sleeeeeeeeeep...
Keep an eye out for Brian's MBC Show Music Core perf, which aired tonight! =D (or last night, whatever .__.)

~~>Saturday 09.12.06<~~
Feeling: jubilant
It's quarter to 3am and I'm postively buzzing with jubilance because... it's now only 9 days until Brian Joo's solo album is released!! *\(^O^)/*
In the meantime, satisfy your curiousity and possibly arouse your appetite with his first solo comeback performance, featuring a song off his soon-to-be-released album:

~~>Monday 04.12.06<~~
Feeling: ashamed
Stupid me for thinking that Busan was located 2 hours by train from Seoul.. What the heck was I thinking? It's clear across the freaking country!
*phew* I'm glad I was.. enlightened.. of this fact. BEFORE I started applying for any jobs in Korea.
Yeesh.
.__.
~~>Saturday 02.12.06<~~
Feeling: withdrawn
I have rekindled my passion... for fanfics! Thanks to Wannie-Wannie, Fanfic Queen! XD In fact, the other night I went to sleep at 6am because I stayed up all night reading, and reading, and reading... I just could not STOP! ><;;
If only I'd had that kind of dedication towards studying for uni.. Hu~ u__u
Anyways.. The other night I watched the movie "Temptation of Wolves", which I absolutely fell in love with. Prior to watching the movie I'd heard that it was a book..?
Enter Wannie, resident Fanfic Queen, who informed me that really, it was originally a fanfic written by someone with the screen name of "GuiYeoNi"...! (Well I guess technically it's not really a "fanfic" as such, since it's not devoted to any celebrities.. But it's a fic, none the less. ^^;;) And she then proceeded to tell me that one of the other movies I really, really liked, "He Was Cool", was also originally a fanfic!
I finally finished "Temptation of Wolves" the other night, and intend to start on "He Was Cool" soon. In a way I'm kinda glad that I saw the movie before I read the fic, otherwise I probably would've gotten all upset at the amount of stuff they cut out.. Like how they always do when they make books into movies <_<
But right now.. I feel like watching "Temptation of Wolves" again!
And away we go! w00t! XD
~~>Friday 01.12.06<~~
Feeling: ...
Dang.. It's been about two weeks since I last updated..
Only two weeks..
Doesn't sound like a long time does it?
Yet somehow, it feels like an eternity.. And it feels like a multitude of things have happened.
Time feels like it's moving so slowly, but so quickly at the same time....
It's 12.20am now.
Today is the first day of December.
The last month of this year. Another year come and gone..
I wish time would stop....
I don't know where I'm going or what I'm doing.
I don't know about the future.
I don't know what I want to do.
It's all very well to run away, but in the end it's all just a temporary distraction. It doesn't make the uncertainty go away.
It scares me.
I hate it.
~~>Tuesday 14.11.06<~~
Feeling: cheerful
Gargh. It's been frightfully stressful for the last few days, and I had come to the firm conclusion the other night that technology does indeed hate me. On Sunday night I had to reformat my computer. Again. Yes. The second time this month. Why? Because my computer became infected with some nasty, ugly trojan. 32 of them infact. Unless of course it was just the one duplicating itself over and over. But anyway.. What's really astounding is that I had to reformat it twice in one night because the first time, I don't know what happened, but it backed up all my old documents and loaded them back onto the new system, complete with trojans and all.
w00t.
Of course after reformatting I didn't have the driver for the sound card (once AGAIN �__�) and even though I downloaded one, which I was positive was the right one, it still refused to work.
Splendid!
Don't you just love when technology fails on you?!
Last night I figured I could cope without sound if I could just download music then load it onto my mp3 player and listen to that instead as I used the computer.. But nooo0o0oo, of course my mp3 player's software refused to be installed correctly and my mp3 couldn't be connect to the computer, or even recharge for that matter (scared the crap out of me because the battery was already running really low, and you know how I am.. I absolutely cannot live without music ><).
But aaaanyhoo..
Problem solved. mp3 is now connected just fine, and although I still slowly edging closer to the brink of insanity without my music, I'm feeling quite cheerful.
That brings me to my next topic: I ordered a laptop today! w00t!
Does that make me sound like the queen of impulse buying? o__O
Hoho! I wish I could be so rich as to afford to impulse buy a laptop whenever I feel like it -__-" But no, it's been a long time coming.. I remember asking Jaclyn-sama to go laptop shopping with me last holidays, which was back in September.. And since my desktop is having all kinds of problems, now seems like as good a time as any to finally go out and buy it.
They said it should only take a couple of business days to get here, so hopefully I can have it by the end of the week and I won't have to live in this horrible world of k-pop deprivation any longer!! YAY! XD

For now.

=P
~~>Saturday 04.11.06<~~

The mp3 ringtone section is up!
I started off cutting K-pop ringtones for Jaclyn-sama but a few requests here and there have prompted me to expand the list.. w00t! ^^
More coming later!
Click here to get there now.
~~>Friday 03.11.06<~~
Feeling: smitten
I was so peeved off last night after Moju-sama told me he'd changed my Ebay username without asking me first, after I lent him my account to sell stuff a few days ago. Inwardly I was screaming, "ZOMG.. That is SO the last time I lend you anything!" >=(
Haha but fortunately I had Jaclyn-sama accompanying me on msn and my freshly-ripped Fly to the Sky cover songs on repeat, so I didn't quite lose my sanity.
I must also say that listening to Brian Joo's voice works wonders.. He has such a smoooooth, soothing voice. Just listening to him makes you feel like you've been shot with a tranquiliser.. But in a good way!
Er.. If that's even possible .__.
Haha anyway Moju and I are cool now, and I'm here to share the Brian Joo goodness with everyone!
Behold, my near-complete collection of freshly ripped and uploaded Fly to the Sky cover songs!
Enjoy! ^__^
Andwaenayo (Hwanhee) - Wheesung original (30 second rip)
Bad Guy - Bi/Rain original
Billie Jean - Michael Jackson original.. their chorus in the middle is hilarious XD
End of the Road feat. Wheesung - Boyz II Men original.. recommended! =D
I Believe I Can Fly - R Kelly original
Lately - Stevie Wonder original
Lately (Brian)
Right Here Waiting - Richard Marx original.. Brian botches up the lyrics a few times, but his smoooooth voice makes up for it XD definitely recommend this song too!
Slow Jam feat. Ok Joo Hyun - Usher and Monica original
Superstar (Hwanhee)
Water Runs Dry (Brian) - Boyz II Men original
You Raise Me Up (Brian) - Josh Groban original.. beautiful ballad.. recommended!
I'll add some more later ^__^
Today I finally got my act together and went to badger Jaclyn to be my guarantor (or whatever the word is) for my passport application. And somehow, what was meant to be a quick trip to her place to get her signature ended up turning into an expedition for Korean ice cream.. Hoho! We truly are the queens of procrastinating!
.__."
Anyways.. Went to the post office to attempt to lodge my form there, only to be told that I do need to book an "interview" time with them to lodge my form.. And the next free time was next Wednesday.
-__-
I'm not even going to bother stating how ridiculous I think the whole process is.
But only because I'm still in a fantastic mood from this:
Hehe yupyup! On the way back out to the car park we stopped at the skill tester machine.. And I won three toys! =D I gave one to Jaclyn though, since it was her shrapnel that allowed me to continue playing in the first place hehe XD
Gosh.. it's been well over a year since I last played.. It's so addictive! I probably would've kept playing if I hadn't been out of coins ><;;
I'm going to put these two with the rest of my other skill-tester toys.. And when I finally get a car, I'm going to put them ALL in it!!
Huzzah!! ^___________^
~~>Tuesday 31.10.06<~~
Feeling: shocked
I AM BLINDED!!
Thanks to the lovely Miki @ bww2's Shinhwa thread.... who seems to have an even bigger obsession with Shinhwa's man boobs than I do .__.
*cough*
Anyways.. Here goes..
Calling all Shinhwa fans!! Prepare to be shocked. I'm going to quote Miki's warning and say CLICK AT YOUR OWN RISK!
.....
So... Obviously that text wasn't part of the original thing, but still.. Was it just me or did anyone else find that seriously disturbing?? o__<
I never knew Shinhwa was into that kind of stuff..
Eek.
Yes, my jaw is still scraping the ground as I speak.. And my eyes!! My freaking eyes!! I need something to erase it all!! >______<
*cough*
Anyway... u__u
I've gotten hold of two new things today!!
Kangta things!!
YAY!! ^_____^
One is a song that I had no idea he ever even sang, which apparently came off a movie OST.. [Jeez and I call myself a Kangta fan �__� Puh!]
And the other is.... THIS! Ta-da!
Kangta - Wildflower - a cover of the English song by Skylark! w00tw00t! Freshly ripped and uploaded, I haven't even circulated it on any forums yet XD
Note that he performed it on X-man #66, so you can hear all the added sound effects and stuff going on.. And you can also hear MC Yoo going "uagh" and gagging after the first 30 seconds because Kangta's just so.. sappy.. Haha it's hilarious!
Anyways.. I think his English has improved a fair bit! I'm really happy! hehe
Kangta hwaiting!! ^__^
But speaking of English improving.... *cough*
Does everybody know what day it is tomorrow?! o__O
Well if you answered the 1st of November, then DING DING DING!! You're absolutely right, good son!
And do you know what that means?? >________<
................
The release of Se7en's new album!! Se7volution!!!

~~>Saturday 28.10.06<~~
Feeling: swoon-y
Because I'm still in a fantastic mood, I've just gotta share these! Puahahaha >=D
Brian Joo singing 'A Whole New World' - Loveletter cut [as opposed to the previous clip which was a cut from X-man]
CF Fly to the Sky - Sunkist Lemonade [15 seconds]
CF Fly to the Sky - Sunkist Lemonade [Brian version, 20 seconds]
CF Fly to the Sky - Sunkist Lemonade [Hwanhee version, 20 seconds]
And audio rips of the CFs [because they're just tooooo CUTE! XD]:
FTTS - Sunkist Lemonade CF song [15 seconds]
Brian - Sunkist Lemonade CF song [15 seconds]
Hwanhee - Sunkist Lemonade CF song [15 seconds]
*sigh*
If only I had a mobile phone that supported mp3 ringtones.. I'd TOTALLY use Brian's version.. Puahahaha XD
~~>Saturday 28.10.06<~~
Feeling: whalefaced!!
Jaclyn-sama bought me the Amp album!!! Aaaaaaarrgghh *monkey dances*
I'm so ecstatic!!
And yes, this is a delayed reaction.. -__-
But anyways!! ^____________________^ <-- whaleface!
I'm absolutely in loooove with the album!! Thank you, thank you, thank you Jaclyn!!
I've played it numerous times already, unlike the Shinhwa album which I played once and then chucked in the corner of my room .__. [Honestly, what the heck was I thinking buying it?? �__�]
Anyway.. I pulled a 'Lisha' and went a photo spree.. Behold!! The wonderful album that is Ampli-fi!
Isn't it awesome?! Yes, even the plastic shrink wrapping that it came in is totally worthy of being included in the photo!! ^_________________^
The cover booklet is filled with art, and the lyrics are all handwritten! Or should I say, handpainted. I really liked the painting with the ballerina. I'm not sure if it's readable, but the writing says "I can't stand all the pressure you give me"... and I'm willing to bet there's not a soul out there who can't relate to that.. *sigh*
But the best thing about the Amp album is, of course, the music. Because their songs are the kind that make you feel... at ease. Listening to Amp makes you feel like no matter how lousy the world is treating you, things are going to be alright.. That's the only way I can really describe them.. It's just the kind of effect their music has.. >__<
Aish.. I suck with descriptions don't I -__-
Anyway.. THANK YOU SO MUCH JACLYN!! *hugs*
*whaleface* ^_________________^
*Runs off into sunset clutching Amp album*

Oomrar did fix the soundcard problem.. But another delightful problem decided to rear its ugly head.. My computer started blacking out, like as though someone kept flicking the power switch on and off at the wall. Sometimes it would just completely restart on its own as well.
It was scary. And annoying. And frustrating.
So I couldn't get online at all yesterday, let alone use my computer..
On the bright side, it's all fixed now.. I rushed it to a computer place today and they thankfully fixed it in a few hours.
On the down side, it cost me $175.
On the even more downer side, I missed Moni yesterday, which was the last time she was able to get online =( She left for Italy today and I didn't even get to say goodbye or wish her a safe journey and I don't know when she'll be able to come back on the net..
Boooo...
I miss her already.. Crazy, I know. It's silly to get attached to people you haven't known for very long.. But she's soo unbelievably sweet, and she's like my number one source of info on underground K-music.. The only person I can giggle and skylark about with over bands like Cloud9, and all the other underappreciated K-rock artists like Nell and Cloud Cuckoo Land.. Everybody else is into all the mainstream, stuff like DBSK or Shinhwa or Super Junior.. And I mean yeah, those groups are great.. I listen to them too.. But it's so nice to be able to tap into something that's not so mainstream, and it's even more wonderful when you stumble across that something that makes for an extra fantastic listen..
Argh now I'm just rambling =(
I hope Moni arrived in Italy safely..

Feeling: better ^^
I just finished downloading My Aunt Mary at 220kb/s from Megaupload.
o__o
I wouldn't normally get this kind of speed from Megaupload even if the world crashed into pieces and the universe flipped inside out. O__O
GOD BLESS CABLE! (when it chooses to be nice to me .__.)
Today I tried to fix my sound problem by installing the new soundcard I'd haphazardly ordered off the net the night before last. I was so proud of myself too, for taking apart the computer tower and actually slotting the soundcard into the PCI and fiddling around with all the hardware.
Yes, I know what everyone's thinking. 'Pffft.. That's easy!'
But may I remind you that Uncle Yenny is an absolute idiot when it comes to technology.. I mean come on, it took me an hour to figure out how to use an Ipod, for crying out loud .__. So this was quite an achievement for me!
....
Of course, the soundcard didn't work and now I'm going for the third day in a row without any sound on my computer. �__�
I'm desperate.
I'm going insane.
I neeeeeed my music!! >______________<
Fortunately help is not too far away! Oomrar's kindly offered to come over tomorrow to help me fix my soundcard problem.. Okay well I prodded him into it -__-"
But if he can fix my problem, then I shall be eternally grateful!
And I shall repay him!
One Oreo McFlurry at a time! ^__^
~~>Wednesday 25.10.06<~~
Feeling: hopeful
My good sons, I come before thee to raise the ever-so-timely question:
Hands up who here likes Brian Joo?!
^__________^
*waves hands manically in the air*
Me, me, me, oh ME!!
.__.
*cough*
Anyways.. Since I've recently rekindled my love for Brian Joo of Fly to the Sky, I'm sharing this: Click me ^^
Too lazy to take screenshots, sorry. =P It's a short cut of an X-man episode where Brian is singing "A Whole New World" from Aladdin. It is dang hilarious and, as always, he's just gorgeous! The kind of gorgeous that makes you want to roll on the floor laughing, while trying to pinch his cheeks because he's just toooo cute XD
And another clip I uploaded a while back: Click me ^^
This one is a clip of another gameshow where the ever-spunky Taebin is acting out a scene from The Ring. [credits to cc_yang @ solid07 for this one ^^] Lol it's absolutely hilarious, and of course his English is just to die for =3 *swoons*
Note: skip the first 11 seconds of the clip if you're not good with handling horror movies like I am, because they do show a short clip from the movie. Yes, I'm a wuss, I know .__.
Enjoy! ^__^
~~>Tuesday 24.10.06<~~
Feeling: lazy
Sonny came over earlier to lend me his Microsoft Office CD, which was really nice of him because I should've just gotten off my lazy ass and picked it up off him myself .__.
But anyway..
Sonny: What are you doing?
Me: Oh I was just studying..
Sonny: When's your exam?
Me: November the 10th.
Sonny: Juhhh?
Me: ........ Oh god. I'm a nerd aren't I.
Sonny: Yes. Yes you are.
.__."
So with that, his wise words have convinced me that I can indulge in taking the rest of the night off from study.. I mean since my exam is on the 10th of next month, and it's like the 25th today .__.
......
YAY! An excuse to bludge! And if I fail my exam, I'll just point dramatically at Sonny.
.__.
~~>Monday 23.10.06<~~ *Happy birthday to Ria*
Feeling: lousy
I reformatted my computer today! o__o
Last night the monitor went black before a horrible blue screen flashed up and announced that I had some kind of computer error and that if I'd never seen this message before, I should restart my computer. Afterwards everything because horrendously laggy, and I couldn't even use Internet Explorer without having to wait about 2 minutes for each freaking page to load.. And I wasn't even capped or using that proxy program! Things also began freezing and malfunctioning, and when they weren't better this morning I eventually gave in and decided to reformat...
I think it's been a long time coming.. =(
Anyway, Jaclyn-sama kindly lent me her XP cd, and after four hours of burning and backing up my stuff, away I went. [Interesting that out of all the files and whatnot on my comp, the first thing I backed up onto dvd was my Kpop music stash XD]
The reformatting went fine.
The installation went fine.
And there I was feeling quite proud of myself, having somehow miraculousy reinstalled the programs I used to have, restored my Internet connection, and started to transfer some of my music back onto my hard drive. Then suddenly, it hit me.
I had no sound.
That's right. In the process of getting all happy and ahead of myself, I had completely forgotten that reformatting means reinstalling drivers, and that means having CDs for the hardware, and that was just something that I didn't have .__.
Without drivers, my soundcard is useless. My speakers are useless. My music has now been rendered unlistenable!
Gargh!!!
I've gotta thank my underboss Moe though, for spending about five hours trying to help me fix my problem, without losing patience =3 It was about the equivalent of finding a needle in a haystack, because I didn't know what kind of soundcard I had, and so he had no idea what driver was needed but he still spent ages looking around on the net and sending me driver after driver..
XD
Lol..
Eventually it was concluded that I should just buy a new soundcard which would come with its right drivers, and hey presto my problem would be solved!
So I did.
Now it's just a matter of waiting till it gets here and then installing it.
Let's hope it works .__.
Also, even after reformatting my comp, I'm still unable to log into forums! It seems I'm doomed to an eternity of crawling around hiding my ass with some random IP in China which makes everything so laaaggy and stuff takes so long to load!! TT____TT Argh!!
So it really is a problem with my IP, and I can only conclude that I have been blacklisted by Invisionfree. -__-
*waves Se7en trolley pole at Invisionfree >=(*
And yes. I can't believe I thought admin IP-banned me from bww2. u__u
Yusuf-oppa, if you ever end up reading this [although not that you would .__.], I'm sorry I questioned you, oh wise one! To make up for it I'll buy your kitties catnip for the whole month while you're away! XD
~~>Thursday 19.10.06<~~
Feeling: exhausted.
It has been one heck of a lousy day. I've had about 5 hours sleep from last night, or should I say this morning, and now I feel like shit.
I've finally finished my ethics journal, but I don't feel like celebrating.
Booo. Everything's gone shitty today. Shitty, shit shit.
Somehow, for some god-unknown reason, I've been blocked from my home forum. I got leered at by two jerks in the parking lot when I went to get my assignment bound, which was just absolutely degrading. I locked my keys in the car too. My throat is sore. My eyes feel bleary. My motivation to do any work has gone down the drain.
What a shit day.
I feel like crap.
And why the hell are Invisionfree's damn forums not working for me?!
Faaaark.
I need stress relief. Fuck oath.
TT______TT
~~>Thursday 19.10.06<~~
Feeling: bleahed.
Oookay so it's officially Thursday morning now. It's quarter to 3am and I've just finished my stupid corporate comm assignment, 400 words short of the word limit. But hey, I'm pretty proud of myself considering it was supposed to be 4000 words, and I've literally just crapped on about utter bullshit for ohhh, I'd say about 95% of the assignment..?
I'm amazed at how many times I managed to repeat myself with the same concepts, over and over.. I mean seriously.. If I get anything higher than a 4 for this one, it would be some kind of miracle. Hell, if I even manage to get a 4, I'd be thrilled.
I'm so glad that's over though.. I'm really past the point of caring now. I need to go through and proofread it one last time, but I'll do tomorrow. I'm just too stoked that the shitty part is FINALLY over.
Anyways.. I'm looking forward to tomorrow because I get to spend the whole day working on my final assignment, the marketing ethics journal.
No really, I wasn't being sarcastic. I genuinely am looking forward to it. I personally find ethics really interesting, and hey.. After lousy corporate comm, I can guarantee you that just about anything will seem enjoyable. -__-
Argh I think the tiredness is finally starting to set in.
But before I go, I've just gotta share these... Heehee..
Eddie - Don't Know Why (radio perf video clip)
Eddie - Good Smell (radio perf mp3 format)
Eddie - Message From NY (audio, mp3 format)
Eddie - Officially Missing You (radio perf video clip)
Eddie - Officially Missing You (mp3)**
Eddie - Soulstar Intro (mp3)
Eddie - Wherever You Will Go (20 second audio, mp3 format)
Eddie - With Him (mp3)**
Yes, that's right. Plenty of Eddie goodness for all!! ^_________^
Credits and thanks to oct23ria (the lovely Ria ^__~) for the original files, and to yours truly for encoding all the wma files into mp3 format =P
I seriously, seriously recommend people download the "Officially Missing You" mp3. It's supposed to be a cover of the song by Tamia. I haven't actually heard the original, but I hear it's supposed to be fairly slow.. So I kinda like the idea that Eddie's version has a bit more beat to it. ^^ And ever since I got my grubby paws on it, I can't stop looping it - I think I've played it about 16 times today. XD The majority of people who've actually bothered to leave a reply for it have also given positive feedback [although I guess that's not saying much.. Downloaded 53 times and only about 12 people replied? �__�]
Argh anyways I think I shall finally be off to sleep, my eyes are starting to malfunction again.
Rest assured I'll be back to rant about Eddie tomorrow! ^_______________^
~~>Tuesday 17.10.06<~~
Feeling: meh.
I'm back again, this time in a more talkative mood and with a list of things that I've been meaning to rant blog about. ^^
The second half of my YesAsia order finally came yesterday! Woohoo! I was torn between ripping open my Shinhwa CD, or leaving it in the plastic wrapping and not touching it. [Yes, crazy old me. For a while I actually considered keeping it in mint condition so I could sell it to some crazed Shinhwa fan 20 or years down the track =P]
But anyway, it came in this boxed-set kinda casing and I could see this little booklet thingy in it besides the CD case, so curiousity finally got the better of me. When I ripped off the plastic and craaacked it open, I was pleasantly surprised to find the booklet, called 'Inside SHINHWA', was like a sort of photo extra thingy and that it did contain those nice photos of Dongwan that I really liked but had given up all hope of them being included in their 7th album. Wheeee! ^__________^
'Inside SHINHWA' *lol* also contained alot of tacky, completely random phrases beside the pictures, which had me in absolute stitches. I actually laughed out loud at some of the stuff, and my dad gave me funny looks but tactfully refrained from saying anything. [Later on I caught him looking at it cuz I'd left it on the table while I went to watch TV .__.]
Here are my favourite examples: =P
"natural..."
and
"Keep going higher ~ don't stop doing moving"
LOL.. XD
Some of the lyrics [as printed in the CD cover booklet] also continue to amuse me to no end:
"One two three four back to the one two! One two three back to yeah!"
"We don't stop doing moving!"
"It don't matter if you're broke or rich ass!"
Hehehe.. okay yeah I'm an idiot. I just find so many of their lyrics amusing, but I won't bother to post them all here and bore everyone to tears.
Overall I guess I'm pretty happy with it, even though I don't particularly like all the songs on the album; I think the quality of the printing, casing, etc is pretty dang good. Although maybe that's standard stuff and I've become so engrossed in illegitimate file sharing that I've forgotten what it's like to finally buy CDs again .__.
Anyways.. The main thing that really surprised me was that alot of their songs were actually composed, arranged and written by themselves! Well, mainly Minwoo. Eric did a fair bit of it too, and if I remember right he wrote all the rap lyrics in each song by himself too. *cough* explains the fobbyness *cough* �__�
So there you go.. I guess it isn't the work of shoddy lyricists, but the Shinhwa members themsleves that the words their songs come out so.. fobbishly wrong. .__.
I don't know whether to point and laugh, or give them credit for actually writing and composing their own stuff o__o
Anyways.. In other non-kpop-related news, the riverside expressway leading into the city was shut down today, which caused massive traffic havoc all through the city and outwards.. Seriously, it was insane! As I was walking from uni back to the bus stop I saw police and traffic controllers had blocked off the entry, and cars that were trying to get onto the freeway were already crowding the road. As I walked further into the city, the traffic just got worse and worse. The kind of traffic where the light turns green but no one moves an inch because there's no room to cross the intersection..
When I got to the Myer Centre bus station, it was equally as insane. The queues for the buses were unbelieveably long and the buses were all delayed because the traffic outside was so freaking bad. Eventually it started to pile up to the point where buses couldn't even get out of the station because cars from the traffic in the road that crosses the entrace had blocked them off. When my bus finally did come and we got out onto the busway, the number of buses in the opposite direction that were trying to enter the bus station but couldn't get in was just.. again, insane.. They were all bumper to bumper [I'm not kidding, they literally left about 30cm between their front bumper and the back of the bus in front of them].. And the line stretched all the way back from the city to halfway between Mater Hill and Southbank bus stops. That's two and half stops!! What is that, like 2 kilometres?? a 2 kilometre long line of unmoving buses..
I finally learnt that they'd shut down the freeway because they found a 2 meter crack somewhere near the Ann street turnoff, which is actually kind of scary.. So yeah.. It's been shut down indefinitely, I guess until it gets fixed. God knows how long that'll take..
~~>Tuesday 17.10.06<~~
Feeling: lazy
Can't be bothered being long-winded tonight -__-
Here's the 30 second version of Shinhwa's Lotteria Burger CF - 30 second version
Love the way they just fling Andy over and hit Eric in the head with the pillow =P
~~>Monday 15.10.06<~~
Feeling: bummed
It's been a pretty lousy week. I haven't been very productive at all, in fact the last weekend that just passed was absolute bludge. I'm such a lousy student =(
On top of that there've been disruptions galore, like our upstairs bathroom needing to get fixed so the entire upstairs area is such a hazard to be in. I've had to resort to sleeping in the computer room because my bedroom is right next to the bathroom and I didn't want to get woken up at 7.00 every morning when the guy came to fix it. Definitely not healthy if you only went to sleep at 3am too.
I don't really know what's wrong with me lately, I feel so.. worthless. I can't focus, I can't seem to get any work done. And I don't damn well know why!
It's frustrating. Damn frustrating.
You know what.. This is the last week of uni. Of classes any way. That's right. My very last week of uni. Ever. Because this is my very last sem.
So you'd think I'd be putting in the extra effort to make this last week productive wouldn't you.
But no. I'm sitting in the computer room, about 5 doors down from where my IMC tutorial is going on right now. I don't think I'll be going to tonight's lecture either.
Yes I have a chronic problem of skipping class. I'm an idiot I know.
Right now I feel emotionless about it all, but I'll probably regret not going later on.
I'm telling myself the only reason I'm skipping is because I need to get my corporate comm assignment done, and therefore it's justified. But is it really? If I'd just done my damn work on the weekend like I was supposed to, I wouldn't be feeling so lousy today.
Gargh.
All this ranting is just a lame-o attempt to procrastinate further. When it comes to doing this stupid corporate comm assignment I just can't freaking well seem to focus!!!
Argh.
Alright. Must get started now.
Wish me luck. =(
PS: I know I only put it in a couple of days ago but I'm taking the background music down temporarily. Maybe I'll put it back up later.
=(
~~>Saturday 14.10.06<~~
Feeling: pleased
Okay so I lied.
I wasn't productive after dinner, like I said I would be.
Hell, I haven't been productive at ALL today �__�
But I choose to adopt the philosophy of the wise Jaclyn-sama when I say: "Meh. There's always tomorrow."
^___^
Anyways... Have you noticed?! I've implemented music into the site once again!!
Woohoo!
That's right good sons.. Now you can boogie along with me! ^___________^
I've also made a few changes around the place, let's see how long it takes to spot them =P
I think a banner change is waaaay overdue as well, but we'll see how things go time-wise tomorrow. [Isn't it funny, when it comes time to actually do work, you always get the urge to do everything except work. �__�]
Well. My work here is done!
And with that, I bid thee goodnight, sons!
~~>Saturday 14.10.06<~~
Feeling: guilty
I have been sooo freaking unproductive today.. =(
I've literally been online for about six hours now and done nothing towards my assignments.
Booo to me =(
Argh. But it's the forums, I swear! They're just so... addictive!
Earlier I was like, "Yes. Okay. STOP FORUMING AT BWW2!"
.....
And so I took my spamming to Kpopper instead.
�__�
There I spent many an hour giggling and skylarking with Ria and Mel over the release of Shinhwa's new CF, and Eddie's new single, and the upcoming release of Brian Joo's solo album...
Aish..
*shakes head*
I'm so excited about them all!!
But I can't afford this right now!!
I really need to get my act together so I can get this stupid corporate comm assignment over and done with! >__<
I don't know why it's so hard.. I just sit there staring at the screen with a complete mental blank as to what I want to write, or what I need to write.
If you ask me, the whole assignment is a crock of shit. I just don't understand why it needs to be 4000 words long. I mean what possibly makes them think we need 4000 words to talk about a management issue an organisation is having, and the three corporate comm issues that sprout from this one, single issue?
Seriously.. 2000 words is sufficient!
Argh.. I'm so lost =(
I'm only going to aim for a 4 with this assignment though. Well.. a 5. -__-" Hopefully I'll get a 5. I don't really expect anything higher, and I only need a 5 in order to get a 5 overall for this subject anyway. Which is fine by me because the effort I don't waste on this lousy subject will be better off put to good use on other subjects where I do still stand a remote chance of getting a half decent grade.
Yes.
Like um... Advertising! =D
I got my advertising assignment back on Tuesday! Woohoo!! I got a 7! Miracle, no? ^_________^
*monkey dances*
What's even more amazing is that I only fell short of a perfect grade by half a mark!!
Although you'd never believe what I lost that half a mark on �__�
*cough*
Referencing Wikipedia.
I mean honestly, how stupid can a person get!
Duuuhhhh... Obviously Wikipedia isn't an academic reference, I don't know why the hell I put it in there in the first place .__.
*smacks head*
Oh well.
I guess at least now I'll defnitely know for next time. My tutor wrote in big block letters "DON'T REFERENCE WIKIPEDIA!!!" like four times across my assignment, so.. yeah. It's drilled into my head pretty darn good now.
^^
Anyways... Enough chatter!
All this unproductiveness is about to change!
......
Right after I eat dinner.
-__-
Farewell, sons!
Friday 13.10.06<~~
Feeling: satisfied
Meh. I've got a loooot of work ahead of me this weekend so I'm taking tonight off to bludge. Yes. One last bludging session before the weekend kicks in and I start freaking out over my impending doom with this last lousy corporate communication assignment.
Anyways. I'm too lazy to bitch and moan right now [and I'll probably be doing plenty of it tomorrow and Sunday anyway], so I'll just sit here and be quiet.
.__.
Hehe um..
In other news, the second version of Shinhwa's Lotteria Burger CF is out. ^^ I'm pleased to say that this version is not as "freaky" as the first one, nor is it as mundane =P
Download it here: click me ^__~
Speaking of Korean related stuff.. Last night Jaclyn-sama and I were out and about and as luck would have it we wound up eating Korean for dinner.. At this restaurant called "Goong"! ^^ And yes, their logo and the writing was exactly the same as the one from the Kdrama, Goong [Princess Hours]!
I wonder if it was a coincidence, or they genuinely meant to rip them off? Or perhaps they're affiliated?
Lol oh well. I did take some pics, which I'll upload tomorrow because my camera's downstairs and I'm too lazy to go down and get it.
Hmm well. Before I go to sleep, here's more mp3 uploads to share:
2Shai - Run To You [Korean version]
2Shai - Run To You [English version]
Blackbeat - Shake**
DBSK - In the Still of the Night [English cover song]
Fly to the Sky - Condition of My Heart [English version]**

Where the HELL are my damn YesAsia goods?!
Boooo!! I despise waiting!!

~~>Monday 09.10.06<~~
Feeling: cranky
Have I told you good sons lately how much I absolutely abhore groupwork??
I was so furious yesterday about this whole IMC audit assignment that went to hell because one of our group members is an absolute ass who contributed virtually nothing, and another is a dork who can't seem to get his freaking act together.
So yesterday that left Gary and myself as the ones doing all the work on the day before it was due. I was up till 2am last night still working on the damn thing!
Thankfully I've toned down a bit today, but I just finished writing the peer appraisal form and I think it's made my blood start boiling again.
Bah, I'm too lazy to type the whole thing out again [even though I'm passing up the chance to rant and bitch and swear].. I'll just copy and paste what I wrote in the form. You're supposed to circle the relevant rating that shows to what extent you agree with the statement, and then they give you two lines to fill out with comments. Needless to say, two lines simply were not enough for me and I think I ended up with about 16 lines for each question. Good thing I was able to fill in the form on the computer after downloading it and didn't have to handwrite.
Q 1. Each student contributed to a equivalent degree overall for this project.
STRONGLY DISAGREE
In our group, Gary Lo and myself were the ones doing most of the work. As a group, we were supposed to have all of our designated parts for section one and two completed by Wednesday 4/10/06, but Justin and Eric had not completed anything. Despite being asked repeatedly by Gary for his parts, Justin did not send anything through until Sunday afternoon. Even so this was not complete � he had done only a rough draft of one of the areas in section one that was designated to him, and nothing from section two or three.
Similarly Eric had not completed anything by Wednesday, and by our final meeting on Sunday he was still working on his part from section one � the market analysis and target consumer analysis. As a result Gary and myself were forced to do all the parts in section two and section three, on top of our own parts from rest of the assignment. We were also the ones who were left to assemble the assignment together, compile the reference list and appendices, and proofread the whole thing.
Q 2. Each student presented work of a fairly similar quality in preparing this project.
STRONGLY DISAGREE
Eric�s work was of very poor quality. Considering that he had so many days to complete it (between the Wednesday that it was originally supposed to be completed by and the Sunday when we met again), and given that he arrived at Sunday�s meeting at 10.30am, left at 6pm, and spent those seven and a half hours working only on his parts from section one and a small part from section two, the quality was unacceptable. Most of it had to be re-written after he left on Sunday because it was incoherent and many things that he had written were blatant rubbish, e.g. "Positions in EKKA will go for the highest bidders who promise to make high profit, so the competitive among suppliers is very high."
I had to try so hard to refrain from using multiple exclaimation marks at the end of every sentence, because I was just so angry. I still cannot get over the fact that Eric had all that time up until Sunday to complete his one part, and on Sunday he spent all seven and a half hours of the meeting still working on that bit.
Fucking ridiculous.
Same goes for Justin.
He had all that time to get his parts from section one and two done and emailed to Gary (bearing in mind it was supposed to be done by Wednesday!), but instead kept delaying it, from Thursday, to Friday, and then on Sunday he messaged us saying he'd have his parts in by "tomorrow afternoon" - the day that it's due.
Not. Fucking. Good enough.
Bah. I think I'm actually getting tired of ranting about it now. Amazing huh �__�
Aish. I'm hungry and exhausted and it's been a lousy freaking week. And I'm still waiting for someone from another group in another assignment to send me their part for tomorrow.
Far out.
I need some sugar.
=(
~~>Saturday 07.10.06<~~
Feeling: guilty
It's nearly 3am and once again I'm still here in front of the computer like a total gork.
Well.. At least I'm not foruming. At the moment anyway �__�
New uploads: see above. =P
Hehe umm.. Jo PD & Brown Eyed Girls - Hold the Line single, along with the "new" single from the new group LUG [whom I duly recommend to everyone!!], MC Mong's recently released 3rd album, plus a bunch of loose mp3s.. Check the downloads section because I can't be bothered listing them all out on here on the front.
Before I finally head off to bead, I'm sharing this...
Extra, extra, read all about it!! XD
Haha... -__- I showed my forum family that a while ago but forgot all about it until I saw it in Lisha's display pic last night.
Yes.. You can tell I have way too much time on my hands. -__-
~~>Tuesday 03.10.06<~~
Feeling: pissed
Okay I know I should get over it, but for FUCKS' sake.. I just came from a forum where I found yet another person who took my files without giving proper credit.
This time it was my Shinhwa cover songs.
How do I know this?
Well, fortunately this time around I actually took the time to tag all my audio with my screen name. When I saw the list of songs she'd posted up, I thought it looked familiar. So I downloaded a couple of them, and what do I see?
My screenname in the tags.
Fucking hell.
When I posted them up, I specifically asked that people do NOT take them outside of the forum without using proper credits. How hard is it to freaking do that?! I even typed out the credit line in the my post!! How fucking hard can it possibly be to copy and paste a simple fucking line?!
It took hours to collect all the clips, rip and cut audio from all of them, edit every single fucking mp3 and then export them, tag them and upload them.
FUCK OATH.
But the thing that REALLY shits me off is that the forum where I'm finding all this stuff is so freaking hypocritical! In the rules, they rabbit on and on about you must do this, you must do that, you must credit THIS forum, add THIS forum's name in your credits, rah rah rah rah.
They're so fucking big on getting credit for themselves, yet they themselves don't even give any!!
Just the other day I was there and I found that someone had taken my links for the Son Ho Young album as well. And yes, while I ranted to Jaclyn about this earlier, I guess it ISN'T out of my system afterall.
I mean REALLY now.. I don't even go there that often, but it seems like the last few times I have, I find someone's stolen my stuff. What the hell!! Do they really think they can just steal peoples' stuff and they won't get caught?
Fuck.
I hate that fucking forum.
~~>Tuesday 03.10.06<~~
Feeling: worn out
Hmmm... so I think I'm finally starting to feel the fatigue from not getting enough sleep last night �__�
No matter though!! The ever-fantastic Moju-sama sent me this nifty little book earlier about how to sleep less and get more energy, which I will endeavour to read [although I'm still kind of skeptical about it .__.].. Hopefully the content in it actually.. works! XD
Anyways..
Guess what Mister Bao just brought over?!?!
*whaleface*
^_________________^
Don't ask where he got them from, even I don't know [although I'm tempted right now to say "off the back of a truck" -__- lol]..
Heehee... Don't you love my crapatcular attempt at macro photography?! ^_________^
Actually, I'm quite happy with how the first pic came out!! I even set it as my desktop background haha XD I'm just a gork.. But I mean.. The donut!! It just looks so... fat and juicy.... =F
*starts salivating*
Anyways.. Thank you, BESTFRIEND! I love you muchly! Even though I'm a pretty slack friend =(
*hides in the corner*
*clutches donut box*
>_________<
Ahhh so... What else is new?
Hmmm...
Last Thursday I went over to Davi's place to work on our artwork project for our ethics unit..
This was the end result:
Gory?? Yes??
GOOD!!
Haha because that was the effect we were going for! ^^
And hell, considering I got my hands stained red and fingers slashed twice for it, it damn well better have turned out good �__�
It was quite fun! I mean for once.. An assignment that's actually enjoyable to work on! .__.
For anyone who might be wondering if/why Davina and I are bloodthirsty freaks, it's supposed to be taking a stand against the unethical act of sweatshop labour in Australia.
Boo0o0oo~~ to sweatshop labour!!
Anyways.. this blogging was all just a blatant attempt to further put off doing any work >__<
I'd better get started on the assignments now..
Boo0o0ooo~~!! =(
*grabs 3 donuts for the road*
~~>Tuesday 03.10.06<~~
Feeling: bleh-ed
It's 8.52am and I just came from my lousy advertising tutorial where we had our lame-o debate on whether advertising for alcohol should be banned.
I mean really... Who does debating in third year uni?? The concept itself is already ridiculous... �__�
Anyway.. So there we were... Our first speaker rocked up late, our second speaker had lost her voice, and I myself had got about 4 and a half hours of sleep last night.
As soon as the affirmative team began speaking, the first thought that ran through my brain was "We are going doooowwwwn. -__-"
...
Ah well.. At least it's all over now I guess.. .__.
~~>Wednesday 27.09.06<~~
Feeling: disappointed
Sooo.. it's finally the holidays! Not that it really counts for much because it sure as hell doesn't feel like it -__- Can you believe it.. We only get a week of break, but it's already practically half over?
I feel like such a bludger.. I did absolutely no work at all today =( Well technically yesterday, since it's 1am now so it's just become Wednesday.
Argh... Why can't I get my damn act together??
>________<
I went for Korean ice cream with Jaclyn-sama today! ^^ Yes, that's right.. Another example of blatant time-wasting. I should've been home doing assignments instead of going out and eating myself fat, and even worse, dragging others down with me too because I'm sure they have their own assignments and whatnot to attend to -__-
Bah oh well. I'll try harder... Er... Starting from... Tomorrow.. heh XD
Hmm.. There's a crapload of stuff that I want to rant about, but simply don't know where to begin..
I guess I'll start with the most recent.
I was up till 4.30am last night/this morning on the net. I was very frustrated.
Why, you may ask?
Well.. 3 words for you, good sons:
DOWN WITH YESASIA.COM!
Yes. I was up at the wee hours of the night trying to get a straight answer from their website. All I bought were 3 CDs, plus the poster that Jaclyn-sama wanted, and somehow my order managed to explode into 93 dollars.
What. The. Fark.
See that's the thing. To this point, I still don't even KNOW what happened, or how, because Yesasia simply does not explain things properly. It said that I would qualify for free shipping because I'd combined that many CDs in one order, but yet somehow I still ended up being charged 23 dollars for postage.
Of course it was only after I'd clicked the "confirm" button that I realised there was something wrong with the amount total they'd flashed up on the screen but of course by that point it was too late. I managed to backtrack through the order, only to learn that the poster is a category 5 unit or some crap like that, and hence it is totally justified to charge 23 dollars for its shipping. .__.
Boo0o0o~~!!
Stupid Shinhwa poster! I mean jeez.. What is it made of, like biscuit crumbs or something?? Like it's so fragile that it needs 23 dollars worth of packaging and shipping in order for it to be sent off safely?? �__�
Fortunately, I read that I was able to cancel items from my order if it hadn't been shipped yet. Unfortunately, upon trying to cancel the poster, I was informed that because it was a "discounted item", it could not be removed. And ultimately I was stuck with a 40 dollar poster in the order that I didn't want to pay for, but had no choice but to fork out for it anyway.
BAH!!
But anyway... I can sense everyone twitching with boredom and rolling their eyes =P So long story short, I think I've got it sorted out now. But not before I cancelled one of the albums on my order, just for the sake of dropping their business.
I'm kind of annoyed with myself now for doing that though because I can't seem to find that album [Vol. 1 by Amp] anywhere else on the net but Yesasia.. So if I want to buy it in the future, I'll have to go crawling back to them. Boo0o0o!!
*sigh*
I can't believe I actually chose Shinhwa's 7th album over Amp's... Yes, that second album I ordered was a Shinhwa one. Gargh what was I thinking?! Moni would be so disappointed .__.
All I have to say is, that album jacket better have some damn good pictures of Dongwan in it!! �__�
I guess it's kind of a good thing though? I mean this is the very first Shinhwa album I've ever bought *cough* illegal downloading *cough*.. Yet I call myself a Shinhwa fan �__�
*tsk tsk*
Oh yeah. Which reminds me. That isn't the end of my story! =P
Tonight I got online only to find a nice invoice sitting in my inbox from Yesasia confirming that the retards had already shipped half of my order off while the other half is still pending and will be sent later.
Like wtf!! I specifically asked for a cancellation, and for all the remaining items to be delivered at the same time, not an express shipment!
I'm willing to bet Yesasia is run by fobs. It's those dang crazy Asians again isn't it! .__.
Gargh. I think I'm rambling and not making any sense anymore.. *sigh*
It's from sleeping at 4.30am and then getting woken up at 3 hours later at 7.30..
Boo0o0o~~!!
I think I'm going to sleep now. Yes. Yeeesss. That's what I'll do. Apologies to anyone who found my pointless ramblings even more nonsensical than usual .__.
~~>Saturday 23.09.06<~~
Feeling: weird
Jeez.. it's like quarter to 3 in the morning, but I can't seem to bring myself to go to sleep.
Boo0o0o~~!!
I'm really ecstatic though because I finally managed to find the Duncan James and Hwanhee mp3s I've been looking for! Yaaaaay!!
Hmmm.. I guess I should go to sleep. Got some family lunch thing on tomorrow.. =(
I'll just post up those links and then try to head to sleep I guess.
*sigh*
More uploads coming tomorrow, in the form of Eric Mun CFs.. I actually uploaded them tonight but I'm too lazy to go through and type out all the html for the links so I'll do that tomorrow.
XD
*walks away muttering to self* "Stupid sexy Eric Mun.." �__�
~~>Saturday 16.09.06<~~
Feeling: happy
*phew* I just finished uploading all of Son Ho Young's album.. Zomg... this album is LOVE!! It was totally worth the wait and totally worth making a dork out of myself for the last couple of days by ranting about it to everyone who would actually listen =P *swoons*
I've had it looping on my player all day today, and the more I listen to it, the more I love it!! The songs are so.. varied.. in genre.. Ballads, hiphop, happy pop, random mellow stuff.. Eeeeeek I can't get enough! *spazzes*
The only thing I don't get is track 15, which appears to be some kind of Christmas song.. It's like the middle of September.... Christmas ain't for a while yet, buddy =P
Mehh... I love it anyway!
Ooookay.. Much of what I'm writing is just senseless babble and swooning, so I should just stop .__.
I guess I should go do some work.. *sigh*
Later days, sons.
*runs off into sunset clutching Son Ho Young's album*
~~>Friday 15.09.06<~~
Feeling: loser-ish
I got up at 9am today. Yes. Voluntarily. At 9am. I made plans to skip my lect and tute [I was planning to go to just the tute but since Davina isn't even going anyway, I don't see why I should .__.] so I could've slept in! But noo0o0o, I got up early because today is officially the 15th in Australia, making it the 14th in America, and I was hoping, hoping, hoping that SOMEone would have already uploaded the Son Ho Young album.
God, I am SUCH a dork.
Needless to say, the album hasn't been uploaded yet and I feel like crying because I'm practically bursting at the seams with all the suspense! Not to mention foaming at the mouth and drooling all over the desk at the prospect of hearing all his new songs and seeing the full version his upcoming MV... =F
*sigh* Guess I'll just have to wait a little longer >__<
Yesterday I went to uni to pick up my IMC assignment.. I got a 6. *sigh* I've gotta say I was pretty disappointed, although I don't know why. In the past I would've been ecstatic with that kind of grade. When did I become so freaking greedy that 6s just aren't good enough anymore??
Hmmm... Well I think it dates back to a few weeks ago when I got that 7 for PR.. It must've given me a really big head.. See? I blame PR. PR is DEFINITELY the root of all evil!
Anyway I'm going to attempt to do some work on my ethics journal now.. I should at least try to be productive before I have to go to work. I've already wasted about 2 hours skylarking around forums.
Stupid, sexy Son Ho Young!! >=(
~~>Tuesday 07.09.06<~~
Feeling: shocked
YAAAAY! I just got the results back for the multiple choice component of the advertising mid-sem and somehow, miraculously, I managed to get a 7!! *monkey dances* yes, yes, yes, it's a miracle!! I got the third highest score in the unit, woohoo! =D Okay, so along with like 8 other people who got the same score as me -__-" But still.. this calls for a celebration! ^____^
Still waiting for the results of the second part of the exam, the short answer essay Q, but I don't really care... Even if I ended up doing really craptacularly on that, I'll still get a decent mark overall because the multiple choice component is weighted at 75%! Huzzzaaah!! ^____^
I'm in a fantastic mood from this news because yesterday's IMC oral went absolutely craptacularly.. So if I get a bad grade for that, at least something good from another unit can balance it out... >__< Seriously, that was the worst oral I've ever done in my entire academic career! I literally wrote the oral 2 hours before the presentation [everything from the night before turned out to be quite un-useable, especially as the ad I'd taped off TV and managed to record onto disc somehow refused to play on computer, it only played on my Samsung DVD recorder... baaaastard!! *shakes fist*].. So I hadn't memorised any part of it at all except for the intro, which was just stating my name and explaining what topic I was going to talk about. From there I pretty much rambled and babbled out the first thing that came to my head when I looked at my powerpoint slides for cues.. And I had to resort to playing the only ad that I'd managed to find off the net. Even though it was a miracle I managed to find one at all, it totally didn't illustrate my point like the other one had.. Eeeeek.. It was so all over the place and just so... crap!! T___T I'll be lucky to get a 4 for that one I think.. *sigh*
Today I went out to buy a Rolling Stone magazine for my next advertising assignment and somehow ended up buying two pairs of new shoes. .__. LOL. I'm quite happy with them though because altogether they only came up to 44 dollars.. Bargain!! XD One pair is the typical ballet shoe style, but made of gold painted leather with a woven pattern around a buckle-type thing at the front [yes, I suck, suck, SUCK at descriptions =P], the other is a pair of pointy pewter coloured ones. Yes. My very first ever pair of pointy shoes. *gasps* O__O Normally I abhore pointy shoes, because everytime I try a pair on they make me look like the Wicked Witch of the West [or was it East...? o__O].. But these ones really aren't so bad. And even if I don't end up wearing them now, because spring is here and summer will soon be arriving in a couple of months, I'll take them overseas with me! So there you have it... A worthy investment! Muahaha ^___^
Anyways off to work on my adveritising assignment.. My aim was to have it finished today, but it's already 6.24pm and I haven't even started =( I suck with time management don't I .__.
~~>Wednesday 06.09.06<~~
Feeling: fatigued
I kept on saying to people I'd upload my Shinhwa cover songs, and so now I'm finally keeping my promise. I present to you my entire uploaded collection of Shinhwa cover songs.. Do NOT take these and use them elsewhere without proper credits! They took a long time to rip, cut and edit, not to mention the uploading time .__.

Feeling: generous
Oookay so I saw this video on Youtube.com a while ago after someone in a forum posted the link and I was blown away by how well the guy played:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=215_Mei8IZg
Apparently his name is Lim Jeong Hyun [he's Korean] and at first the TV people in America who aired that clip spent two months or something trying to find out who he was [he was anonymous at that stage, or known as 'FunTwo'], comparing him to Jimi Hendrix, etc, etc... Anyhoo, after someone made a forum request for it I did a quick audio rip of the clip since I couldn't find anything officially recorded by the guy. So here you go, indulge in good talent people!:
Lim Jeong Hyun - Canon in D [rock guitar version] mp3

~~>Tuesday 05.09.06<~~
Feeling: optimistic
Haha okay so miracle day was actually yesterday, but that doesn't mean I'm not still going to milk it out for all it's worth =P
That's right sons! Remember that shitty PR corporate communications assignment that I dedicated countless blogs to bitching and moaning about? Yes.. The one where I was aiming for a 4, secretly hoping for a 5, but bracing myself for a 3? Well........ I got a 7!!! Muahahahahaha...
So, what insightful wisdom can be gleaned from this experience? The fact that you can skip all your lectures and tutes and still get a high distinction! Puahahaha.. Okay so that's not really recommended because it was probably just a massive fluke. And I don't know how it happened, or what's the logic behind it, or what insanely generous, supernatural being decided to make my tutor give me that mark, but I'm going to label it as the closest thing to a miracle that's ever happened! =D Isn't it weird.. It seems like the more effort I actually put into assignments, the shittier I do. But when I give up and don't care anymore, I do half decently.. Defies all natural logic doesn't it? o__o
Of course on the downside I've probably managed to get a really big head now, and gotten my hopes up for the next assignment that's due on Thursday.. I'm seriously just pulling things out of my ass for this one as well like how I was with the first.. *sigh*
But anyway since I got my mark back yesterday I've been in a fantastic mood and suddenly not so negative towards PR.. =P It's motivated me to to put in more effort for this assignment now ^__^ Only 1/8 to go =P
~~>Sunday 03.09.06<~~
Feeling: tired
I'm exhausted, but I might as well post these before I head to sleep.. They're Se7en cover songs that I just uploaded tonight. Enjoy ^^

Feeling: relaxed
Today I had the day off to bludge heehee.. I guess I'm still in a fantastic mood from having finished my midsems [okay, granted I only had one exam lol.__.] and from having finished that IMC paper. I can't quite bring myself to face my PR assignment that's due next week, but I figure I have 7 days until it's due which is enough time [I HOPE anyway =P] for me to have today off to bludge ^^
To start off with, Uncle Yenny finally downloaded some decent fonts today! Woohoo! Hehe.. Even though my layering techniques still really suck, I feel like my banner-making abilities have improved ten-fold purely because I have some funky new fonts to use =P Goodbye to you, boring old conventional fonts! Hehe XD
So far I've designed some Shinhwa banners for a forum and a bunch of wallpapers for Jaclyn-sama's new mobile phone hehe.. *feels productive* Oh yes and I've implemented a new banner! Woohoo! It's rather plain, but I love it anyway.. And we all know why don't we?! It features the very gorgeous, very spunky, very talented, very charismatic and just plain loveable...... Kim Dongwan!! Hehehe.. Who else did you think could possibly be all of those things jumbled into one?! ^__~
Oh yeah.. And a freshly uploaded album today! ^___^:

I feel grand now that my advertising exam is over and my IMC paper has been handed in.. Even though there's assessments-a-plenty coming up in the next few weeks, it's still a relief to have some things off my plate now *nods*
I'm in such a good mood I feel like sharing.. Hehehehe... I'm weird aren't I.. �__�
Anyways, I present all of my collection of Ivyclub CFs.. even though there aren't that many I guess.. Lol. Oh and some NGs too ^^

Feeling: stressed
I don't cope very well with stress and right now is no exception. I just found out as well that for the PR lecture I skipped on Thursday night, we had a guest speaker that I'd thought we were having in week 4 [which I also skipped .__.], and for that night no lecture slides were put up. Which means I missed the entire thing and now I don't have any notes or anything to go by, and it wouldn't be such an issue if the next piece of assessment didn't cover the lecture content from weeks 1-7.. Worst of all, what he lectured about is pretty much anyone's guess, because I noticed what should have been the topic for that night was pushed back to next week, so there's no set readings or anything to follow that could make up for it.. Jeeeeez... Oh well.. >__< I'm trying to make myself feel better by telling myself that I can just leave out that one week's content.. You know, just sort of glaze over and pretend I didn't know anything about it, but cover the other 6 week's of work. Afterall, since I'm only aiming for a 4 in this unit, I'm not going to fail the entire thing just because I leave off one week's worth.. Right? Riiiight?? >___<
Anyway.. Since today I finally finished my IMC assignment and finished studying for the advertising exam on Tuesday I've been "celebrating" by adding more MVs to my collection and actually sitting down and WATCHING them.. Yes, I have a horrible habit of grabbing as many things as I can [in true greedy Asian style] but never getting around to watching/listening to them. And since I've also been neglecting my uploading lately I'm in the process of upping a few Shinhwa music videos for some forums. I may or may not get around to adding more =P But for the time being, here's what I've done so far:
MV Shinhwa - Winter Story II * second half is very cute! ^^
MV Shinhwa - Hae Gyul Sa [The Resolver]
MV Shinhwa - Chaos
MV Shinhwa - Time Machine
MV Shinhwa - I Pray 4 U [Remix version]
Enjoy!
~~>Tuesday 22.08.06<~~
Feeling: relieved
I just found out that the advertising mid sem exam only covers chapters 1-7, and not 1-9 like I thought. Which almost makes up for the shock I got this morning when I learned that our debate was actually in week 10 instead of week 11 �__�
Anyway.. I'm just killing time, waiting for the bus to go home hah.. I prooobably should be working on my IMC essay but I've been staring at that for 4 hours today so I think I need a break. *sigh* Everything's coming at me all at once.. Exam, assignment after assignment, oral presentation, debate, oral presentation, art project, more assignments... It just blows! I realised last week that from now on, I have at least one piece of assessment due each week right up until the end of the semester.. YAY, this is guna be fun! .__.
*sigh* I don't know where it is I went wrong.. At the end of the holidays I swore that this semester would be different, and I'd do everything within means to raise my GPA. But somehow I'm finding myself now just barely hanging on by the skin of my teeth.. It just seems so overwhelming and hard to keep up. Is it because I'm over the whole studying thing? To the point where I can't even motivate myself to want to do any better anymore..?
If only good GPAs grew on trees.. Hah.. =(
Well on a happy note, one of my Japanese penpals is actually in Australia atm heehee ^^ She's been staying at Eden Hills though, which is like aaaages away from where I live. Bummer! But anyways we're going to meet up on Thursday in the city, so.. It should be exciting ^__^
I know it sounds lame, but at the Ekka last Wednesday with Mingchiat, these two Japanese-looking girls stopped us and asked if he could take a picture for them. Hehe after he took the photo, we walked away going "I bet they're Jap!" And even though I didn't think anything of it at the time, when I got home I was suddenly like ZOMG, what if that was Kaori?? Hahaha.. Yes, I'm quite the silly one. Oh well, I guess we'll see on Thursday ^^
~~>Sunday 20.08.06<~~
Feeling: a-okay!
Hmm.. There's just something so wrong about being at uni on a Sunday.. Even stranger is the fact that I came here voluntarily, and that I'm in the library comp labs but I can hear a baby crying somewhere.. How.. odd.. Heh.
So.. I'm pulling a 'Sheannal' today.. I dragged myself to uni because I knew that if I stayed at home I wouldn't get aaaany work done whatsoever. Yes, I admit it. I've become such a forum whore .__. I could spend almost all day giggling and skylarking in and out of numerous forums, because my god.. They're just so addictive!!
But I think Sheannal's strategy does actually work though! I've managed to laydown the backbone foundations and plans for my IMC paper due next Monday, and worked my way through one quarter of it already. I'm feeling quite productive! ^_____^
Of course I probably shouldn't have stopped to take a break like I am now.. Because that always leads to my productivity going out the window and I end up going on some kind of eternal "break" where I can't seem to get back to work XD
Hmm.. Better stop rambling while I still can. And back to the papers we go!

~~>Friday 18.08.06<~~
Feeling: happy! ^______^
Uncle Yenny is no longer phone-less! w00t!! =D Thanks to my "bestfriend" who was kind enough to lend me his old mobile.. Ahhaha yes, okay, Bao is not my best friend as such, but he has this weird new hobby where he goes around attaching "bestfriend" to the end of all his sentences.. Like "Hey bestfriend! Whatchu up to bestfriend? Cya bestfriend!"
�__� lol
Anyways.. He came over earlier and I ended up giving him my old fish tank and equipment because.. *sigh* since I don't have any fish anymore after Sharingan Kakashi died, I won't be needing the tank anytime soon. Plus since I don't intend to be here next year, it'd be just plain silly to buy any fish now anyway..
Today instead of our usual ethics lecture and tute, we all went to City Hall as a "field trip" to look at the display they have going on in the museum. It's pretty much this big display dedicated to activism and protesting that carried on from 1965-1985, and they have things like posters encouraging people to attend rallies, videos, newspaper articles and really old photographs.. It was kind of amazing seeing how dedicated people can be to fighting for what they believe is a good cause. *sigh* People now just aren't altruistic like they were back in those days.. Although I guess I can't really talk since I haven't participated in any rallies or protests in my entire life -__-
After ambling around the display Davina and I took the lift up to the clock tower.. This is something I've always wanted to do hehe.. Well ever since the last time I went to City Hall with Maddy earlier in the year and I found out that you could actually go up there.. [I didn't previously know that =P].. Anyway.. I was actually kind of scared haha.. The lift was very old [as you would expect, what with City Hall being so.. well.. old =P], and even though Davina assured me it had probably been restored and renovated completely, I still couldn't help feeling nervous. After that lift, we had to get off at the top level where we changed to another elevator.. And my god, I thought the first one was bad, this one was even more nerve-wracking to be inside.. It's extremely old-fashioned, the kind where the walls are made of wire rather than solid material, so you can see out as you're going up, which makes you feel even more nervous. Or maybe I'm just becoming paranoid these days .__.
Anyway, I don't want to bore everyone to tears much longer, but basically in the second elevator they take you up into the clock tower. You stop on one level where you're directly inside the clock and you get to see the equipment that makes the clock chime, then at the next level up you're above the clock and you can look out at the lovely view of the city.. I'm still chiding myself that I didn't bring my camera with me today =( Haha oh yes, and brace yourself for a massive heart attack if the clock decides to chime while you're up there.. It's sooo loud!!
After Davina went back to work I decided to stick around and wander about the place by myself a bit more.. I ended up climbing an unsavoury number of staircases, most of which led down creepy, deserted corridors to dead ends or doors that were very old and very locked =P I was surprised that no one stopped me, even after I wandered past a meeting room twice that full of people in suits talking about something or other.. But I guess a little Asian girl wandering around on her own can't possibly look too dangerous =P I managed to get lost as well, and wound up coming out at some weird side exit.. .__. Haha.. It was kind of fun though, something out of the ordinary anyway. ^^
Anyway, one more thing that's got me in a fantastic mood atm: I wasn't wrong when I broadcasted to people that Shinhwa's Japanese album was coming out on the 16th! YES!! I don't look like a total idiot after all!! Lol! And again, YES!! I wasn't wrong when I said it wouldn't take long for the mp3s to start circulating muahahaha..
I'm currently in the process of uploading the album by individual songs, so for anyone who wants the links, I'll have them posted in a little bit. My first time uploading an entire album, w00t! Massive, massive credits and thanks to Mel, [FiNaY @ Kpopper], whom I love very, very muchly!! ^_____^ Hahahaha I suspect she already knows that though, since I've told her like 3 times today.. Hahaha.. o__o Eeeeee.... I'm in such a good mood! ^_____^ And ZOMG Hyesung's English has improoooved! And Dongwan's!! ^___^ But not JunJin's. �__� Hahahaha..
~~>Tuesday 15.08.06<~~
Feeling: knowledgeable
Guess what! I totally forgot all about it, but tomorrow Shinhwa's new album is coming out! The Japanese one! Hehehehe.. Anyone wanna make any wagers on how long it'll take before the mp3s start circulating on the Internet?? I give it.. ohhh.. about 24 hours or so.. LOL. Maybe it'll even happen early? I don't know how people do it, but sometimes you can find an album uploaded in its entirety before it's even been officially released... o__o Well, it's like the 8th wonder of the world, but kudos to the uploaders for doing so anyway ^__^
I'm back at home now hehe.. Didn't stick around at uni for very long. I've really gotta stop cutting class like this -__-
Anyway moving on.. It's nice to know I'm leaving my mark on the Internet.. I found some stuff circulating around that was originally ripped by yours truly hehehe..
Oh and check it out.. [I already ranted to Jaclyn about this a while back haha].. Look what I found at Youtube.com:

Lousy leechers �__�
*mumble mumble*

^________^
Anyhoo I'm off to attempt to work on my assignments once again haha.. I'm feeling more optimistic about my PR one now. Before I was all stressed out and shit, but then it occurred to me: What the hell am I freaking out for? Wasn't my aim in this unit just to get a 4 anyway? It'll be a nice added bonus if I manage to get anything higher, but other than that.. Who gives a shit..
So I may as well concentrate my efforts elsewhere, on other assignments!
HaHA, now that's THAT's what I call strategic thinking! ^__~
Later days sons!
~~>Tuesday 15.08.06<~~
Feeling: meh
Check it out.. It's like 8:20 in the morning, it's Tuesday and I'm in the library once again.. My 8:00 tute went for like 10 minutes .__. So here I am briiight and early.. If I stick around for the lect at 3, that'll make it a whole 6 hours and 40 minutes that I'll be sitting here zonked out in front of a computer screen. A new record!! YES!! -__-
I was listening to Dongwan on my mp3 this morning on the way to uni.. Listening to Dongwan in the morning makes me feel invigorated! ^________^ That's all I have to say =D In fact I think that's why I'm so cheerful right now, and resisting the urge to and scream "Why the hell did I even bother coming?!"
Yes... Dongwan makes me a morning person, indeed!
^_________________^
~~>Saturday 12.08.06<~~
Feeling: useless
Wow, I'm really good at procrastinating. I've been on the computer since about midday today, it's 5:57pm now and I've done like what.. 50 words more on my PR assignment? o__o
What the heck have I been doing in the last 6 hours?! Hmm... Uploaded a few things here and there [check the downloads section] and mostly giggled and skylarked back and forth between forums. Ria is such a horribly bad influences!! *cough* But my GOD I love her to bits! =P
Anyway, I think I've been given a second chance.. My mom's just informed me that we won't be going to church tomorrow. YES!! God only knows how much I hate church.. Ahhahaha I'm so sacreligious [if that's even how it's spelt]. So now I'm going to sit down and finish my damn assignment and then celebrate afterwards by watching movies and X-man into the wee hours of the night. At least tomorrow morning I'll get to sleep in somewhat! Booya!!
Later days sons =D
~~>Friday 11.08.06<~~
Feeling: amazed
Back again, for like the third time tonight... Lol.. Only because I have something I want to make a point about =P
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MY0f6EswDg: this is why YG beats the shit out of SM, and always will.
Her name is May Doni Kim, she's a YG trainee [moved to YG from JYPE] and she was only 14 when she sang that. I almost cried when I watched it because she sings so well for such a young age. Even though she stuffs up some of the lyrics, vocally she is astounding. I mean I'm not even Korean, and I felt so proud of her! She proves that not only do YG artists have more talent than SM artists, who sell based on aesthetics or sex appeal rather than vocal ability, but also that YG is more realistic. His singers don't have to be freaking supermodels for him to recognize them as being good. Talent is talent, pure and simple.
I can't wait to hear more from her in the future!
~~>Friday 11.08.06<~~
Feeling: patriotic! ^^
LOL so here's some interesting information.. The song called Aisha by Tony An, the one song I really love off his second album, was originally a Malay song.. Is that not incredible?! o__O LOL and now I've never been prouder to be Malaysian =P
While I'm on the topic of Malaysian stuff.. I was really shocked when I read this: SM Entertainment held auditions in Malaysia last month! Eeeeekkk.. Dirty, dirty Lee Soo Man and his crappy company trying to recruit more impressionable young people to rake in more money for his greedy self?! Apparently they were recruiting for singers, dancers, actors AND models [for CFs].. It makes me angry.. Stupid Lee Soo Man.. As if it's not bad enough raping South Korea for young "stars", now he's tainting Malaysia too? �__�
~~>Friday 11.08.06<~~
Feeling: relieved
The weekend is heeeeere!! Yatta!! ^^
I had a remotely good day today ^^ Met up with my underboss Moeie son in the city, and he gave me a box of chocolates hehe >=D But wait! Not just ANY chocolates.. Americanized ones!! w00t! =P They're called Junior Mints or something, if I remember correctly, and they taste delicious.. The perfect combination of chocolate, mint, and sugar... mmmm... =F Best of all, the mint filling isn't the kind that's all drippy and runny and shit.. It's just a nice kind of solid, perfect texture! Yummo! Thanks again Moe! *hugs*
What else did I do today.. Hmm.. I went to Nova to hand back the unsigned documents and stuff and give them a statement to say I was declining their offer.. *sigh* I still feel kind of weird about it. I hope I don't end up regretting it =(
On the way back to uni I cut through the botanical gardens.. It was such a nice day out, the weather was really beautiful. Clear skies, lovely warm sun.. I guess we take it for granted alot but Brisbane weather can be so beautiful! I stopped by this pond to watch the birds then I remembered I had some bread in my bag, and on impulse I tore off a chunk and started to feed them. Haha.. That was supposed to be my lunch �__� Not that I ended up eating it anyway so I may as well have fed them the whole lot. I felt sad while I was doing it, I don't know why. I like feeding animals though heh.. I've always loved feeding birds especially.. Pigeons, ducks, chickens, ibises, you name it.. [Haha I'm not sure what the plural of "ibis" is.. Ibises? Ibii? Ibiseseses? =P] I must make a mental note to self to go back and feed the birds again before next year.. *sigh*
Now I feel somewhat deflated. I'm going to go listen to some Bulldog Mansion songs to lift my spirits. Later days sons..
~~>Thursday 10.08.06<~~
Feeling: happy
Have I told you good sons lately how much I love Dongwan??! ZZZzzzomg!! Muahahaha.. Yes, I'm hereby reaffirming my love for Dongwan, my absolute most favouritest member of Shinhwa. He's dorky, he's gorgeous, he's so kind to his fans, he's an absolute darling, and I adore him to bits!!
So to celebrate I've ripped and edited a bunch of his cover songs, and uploaded them to share with all! ^^ Yes, as you might have realised by now, I'm quite the sucker for Korean stars singing English cover songs.. *droool*.. And yes, Dongwan's English is pretty fobby.. But at least he's not singing things like "and you know what to do, just to do, and want you knooooow..." *cough* Se7en *cough* =P And he puts so much emotion and effort and enthusiasm into his performances that's it hard to resist to smiling as you're listening.. *sigh*
Anyways, enjoy!
*Lately - I'm not sure if 112 is the original singer, but I remember hearing this on one of their albums ^^
*I Swear - the All-4-One song. Dongwan sings the first half of the song, I'm not sure who the second singer is. Definitely not someone from Shinhwa though XD
*If I Ain't Got You - originally by Alicia Keys
*You Give Love a Bad Name - Bon Jovi original
*Jailhouse Rock [with Shinhwa] - Elvis Presley original. Vocals by Dongwan. Andy, Minwoo and JunJin on guitars, Hyesung on drums and Eric on the keyboard.
*Now and Forever - original song by Richard Marx. Hehehe Dongwan stuffs up near the end, and it all kinda goes downhill from there.. But still, no background screaming in this song, yay! ^^
*What's Up - this is actually not an English song but a Korean one. Not sure who the original singer is either, but I really like the song. It's so nice and upbeat!
~~>Wednesday 09.08.06<~~
Feeling: excited
Ahh so I just got off this phone call thingy with Peter on msn.. It's some weird new technomological feature that of course I had no idea about, not that it really matters since I have no microphone on my comp anyway. Basically you're supposed to just talk like you're on the phone, and it works in real time, although makes my comp kinda laggy. It was so good to hear his voice! For some reason, it felt really.. comforting.. I guess because it's like proof that he IS still alive and not being chewed to bits by the Koreans, so at least I'll have a chance of survival if I go there myself =P But it was also so weird hearing him talking and talking but not being able to talk back haha. I've really gotta get myself a mic �__� I had to resort to just typing like crazy all the things I wanted to say.. Finger exercise! My fingers feel slimmer now! LOL.
Anyway.. Some of the stuff he said really got me thinking, and I'm kind of really excited. But then it's also gotten me going again on all the questions whirring around in my head.. Ahhh soo many things I wanna know! In a way I can't wait till next year.. I'll be far, far away... =F Part of me is screaming "It's guna be sooo much fun!!" but another part of me is holding back.. Yeah.. The nervous, wary part of me that's also scared, and worried, and gnawing away at my fingernails about all the nitty gritty little details.. The wheres, the whens, the hows.. *sigh*
But basically, the way I see it.. If someone else could do it [well.. not just someone else, Peter's not the only one right? Think how many other people in the world have ever moved to a foreign country at some point in their lives.. A heck of a lot!], then why can't I? I can DO this, and I'm going to make it just fine! =]
Oh and finally some closure on my whole Nova mess. After sitting on the papers for like nearly two weeks, I think I've finally decided to decline the offer. I still feel a bit nervous closing the door entirely on that option, but I think I've realised that Japan isn't really where I want to go. I would LOVE to go there for a holiday though. Hell.. Who wouldn't?? But ultimately.. I don't think I want to live there..
Well.. At least that rules one option off the list. Which is good. The narrower it gets, the better chances I'll have of actually focusing my efforts and getting something done about it. =]
~~>Tuesday 08.08.06
Feeling: better :)
Yaaaaay!! I'm nearly at the end of this horrid, horrid PR assignment. Just a few more paragraphs to go and I'll be done! I'm on the home stretch now, and that excites me greatly. LOL only because I hate PR so much.. Yucky poo!!
Since it's not due for another 11 or 12 days I'll be able to let it sit for a while and come back to to "perfect" it later.. w00t! =D
****
Ahh oookay so perhaps I was a little overoptimistic there. I'm not quite finished afterall, I'm still about 600 words short >=( Eeek, someone help me think of a management issue affected Energex, quick!
Bah! I swear, I really loathe this subject. -__-
~~>Tuesday 08.08.06<~~
Feeling: bleary
It is toooooo early to be here.. I was actually feeling somewhat energetic this morning [if you're not a morning person, try listening to Bulldog Mansion at 7am and you definitely will become one =P] but now that energy has worn off and my eyes are sore, my brain is tired and my ass feels bloated. LOL what a combination -__- I think I've become so nocturnal lately that even at 12.30 in the afternoon it still feels "early", like it's 8am. Well.. it's 9.15am now and I'm doing that sit-in-the-library-for-4-hours-till-my-lect thing again, but my point is that no matter what time it is [unless it's dark] I'll always feel like it's earlier than it really is -__-
I think I might skip my lect in the afternoon, depending on how much work I get done now on my cruddy PR assignment. Haha it'll be like a punishment.. If I don't do enough, then I'll make myself go. .__.
I probably should've slept eearlier last night but I got online to email my assignment in so that I would actually have something to work on today [I could've sworn I did it on Sunday night but yesterday when I checked my mail at uni it just wasn't there o__o], and you know me.. Ended up staying online for a while longer, uploading stuff [see the David Tao mp3 links above]. Not that it took like an hour to upload two songs.. I admit, I was on another downloading rampage again. Hehe .__. I'm getting back in touch with Filipino music! w00t! Last night I relived a heap of memories just listening to all the old love songs I used to listen to in high school, by groups/artists like Devotion, B4-4, Kai, AZN Dreamer, etc, etc.. *sigh* Massive nostalgia trip!
Hmm.. I think I'd better get started on my work. We go assigned our topics for our advertising debate today, which is just another lump of work on the load to get started on.. *sigh* Oh well.. At least I get to work in a team with that semi-hot Asian dude I saw from last week muahahaha. Turns out he's Japanese [I think?? His name kind of insinuates it? o__o].. Too bad he's not Korean LOL =P
Later days sons!
~~>Monday 07.08.06<~~
Feeling: hungry
Argh.. Starving my ass off here! LOL I haven't eaten anything since breakfast which was just Korean ramen [I've eaten my way through nearly all the kimchi ramen I bought last week when I was out with Jaclyn T__T] and I'm kind of regretting it now.. Should've had something before I left the house but there wasn't anything to eat.. And no "portable" food that you can just grab and eat on the way. *sigh*
Should I go to the refect and buy food? It's 5.29pm now and I'm not guna get home until 9.30.. Can I really hold out that long? =S
On top of that, I really need to pee. LOL.
I'm just full of complaints today aren't I.
~~>Sunday 06.08.06<~~
Feeling: tired
You know it's funny, but in getting so caught up in all the hubbub and humdrum of Kpop, I've forgotten just how much I love my good old Cpop. LOL well not really, just David Tao and Tension. I'm not going to rant about Tension today [oh nooo, I'll save that for another day.. I've gotta milk it out, don't I? =P], but I will however re-proclaim my undying love for David Tao! =D
For anyone who doesn't already know about him, David Tao is a Taiwanese singer who's been around for quite a while (as in since 1997-ish!). Although he might seem old (he's 30+ now haha), that doesn't change the fact that he's still an amazing artist. He's been hailed as the godfather of Chinese R&B, among other flattering titles, which I think he entirely deserves.
So what's so good about him? Well.. He sings, he writes, he composes his own songs and he plays several instruments.. Haha.. Which kind of reminds me of KangTa, except that, well.. KangTa also has looks whereas David Tao doesn't =P But rest assured, even though he isn't exactly the best looking artist around, David Tao's voice is exceptional. He truly backs up my theory that the good singers are the ugly ones [haha although KangTa is an exception! =P]. Oh GOSH that was mean.. David Tao isn't ugly >__< He just.. isn't the best looking singer around, that's all -__-.. Anyway *cough* He sings more than just R&B! He also branches out into other styles like pop, beautiful acapellas, ballads, barbershop and even tinges on a little bit of rock, which is also part of the reason why he's so amazing. His voice is just so versatile and he adapts so well to whatever style he chooses. On top of that, he English is NOT fobby!! Hallelujah! LOL okay so it could do with a liiiittle bit of improvement, but if you can sit through Se7en or KangTa singing in their fobby Engrish, then David Tao's English will be like absolute music to your ears. Ahhhahaha.. Literally!
Finally, my last point is the amount of enthusiasm and emotion he puts into his songs. Seriously. Some of his ballads will make your heart hurt.. =(
I would seriously recommend you sample some of his music if you haven't already done so.. In fact, here's one right now: Tian Tian [Close to You]. Not really one of my favourites, but it's still a nice song none the less.
Enjoy! ^^
~~>Sunday 06.08.06<~~
Feeling: guilty
So I should be working on my assignment but... I'm getting side tracked as usual -__-
Anyway.. I just learned KangTa is on the most recent Xman episode! YATTA!! I've totally lost count what number episode they're up to now, but it's the one where the shows were aired last Sunday and the one before that.. And by the looks of it, they have some new games too! Involving monkey bars! w00t! Hahahaha
I sure hope someone subs those eps soon T__T Ah who am I kidding, I'd watch them without subs anyway =P Oooh.. I wonder if KangTa does any singing again this time around?! O__O *crosses fingers*
Well.. back to work for me.. This PR assignment is coming along craptacularly. =(
*****
Hehe I'm back again, with another Kpop-related ramble. *tsk tsk*
And here I was thinking Se7en's English was actually getting better.. Then he goes and signs with Anson Hu [and some other dude, I'll get to that in a moment] to release a horribly fobby song titled "And Want You Know". Yessiree, this is fobby Engrish at its very best -__-
While some Se7en and Anson [and the third guy, yes I WILL get to him in a moment =P] fans are willing to tactfully overlook the title, there's just no sweeping under the rug the horrible Engrish lyrics inside the actual song. "Just tell me the reason you feel"... "hey you, I never want you say you quit baby"... "and you know what to do, just to do, and want you know..." .__. Like seriously.. Who is the mastermind behind these gramatically atrocious lyrics?? They should be demoted to housecat! And as for Se7en.. I'm just finding it hard to believe that he didn't know any better.. Surely he must've realised that the words he was singing just.. aren't.. right. o__o
Aaaanyway, onto this mysterious "third guy".. I just poked around and found out his name Liu Xiang, but I would never have known he was in it if I hadn't watched the video for myself. Everyone's been leaving his name off it when they upload the file, labelling the song as being sung by Anson Hu and Se7en, completely ignoring the fact that one third of the song DOES belong to him. The poor guy hah -__-
Anyway, if you can somehow manage to blot out the fobby Engrish parts enough to sit through it without cringing uncontrollably [pretty hard, since it seems to constitute a main part of the chorus], I would actually recommend you listen to the song. Not because of Se7en [*cough* -__-], but because it's a nice upbeat kind of song and the melody is quite catchy. Oh yes, it's in Mandarin/English, not Korean =P Apparently Se7en is feeling the need to improve his Chinese as well.
~~>Friday 04.08.06<~~
Feeling: dreary
Today after our ethics lecture I dragged Davina to the Korean shop in the city for ice cream muahaha >=D It never fails to amaze me how quickly the Korean ice cream industry moves. It is extremely volatile and if you don't keep up with it, you'll find you're soon left behind. T__T It's also extremely unpredictable and random - you never know what they'll have in stock from week to week, or even day to day.
Today I wanted to try that pink, rocket-looking ice cream I saw only 3 days earlier [when I was tossing up between that, or the GooGoo Cone], but I got there only to find they were completely gone. In the space of 3 days... All.. Gone.. And so too were all the GooGoo Cones.. T__T Amazing, on Wednesday I visited like 3 different Korean shops with Jaclyn and was astounded to find they all suddenly had GooGoo Cones in their freezers.. o__o See, if I'd known that was going happen, I would've opted for that pink ice cream on Tuesday instead of the GooGoo Cone.. *sigh* Stupid Eric Moon, I blame you for your GooGoo-Cone-selling-persuasive-sex-appeal!!
Let this be a timely lesson for all ice cream lovers that you need to check in with your local KOZ supermaket at least once a week! For the sake of the ice creams, dear GOD.. The ice creams.... T__T
~~>Thursday 03.08.06<~~
Feeling: happy
Oooooh yes, it's Thursday night and I am feeling quite happy. Good GOD, is there something wrong with me?? Did the universe collapse and flip inside out so that everything is working in reverse order??
LOL, well sons.. Let me introduce you to the two halves of my brain: Rational Yenny and Radioactive Yenny. [Okay the Rational half makes sense, but I don't know where I pulled Radioactive from. Let's just pretend it's like that because I got sizzled with radioactive material, hence making that half of my brain super impulsive and illogical.. ^__^]
I got through today's tute quite well, and I'm really proud of myself for not feeling overly nauseated and wanting to cry and stamp and sulk like I did last week. Anyway.. Had an hour break between the tute and the lecture, and that's when Radioactive Yenny decided to put in her two cents.
*At uni...
Radioactive Yenny: Let's skip the lecture!
Rational Yenny: Hmmm... I don't knooooow... *consults lecture slides*... Okay, let's. On ONE condition: we go home and finish studying chapter 2 of advertising.
And away we went.
*At home...
Radioactive Yenny: Nuts to studying, let's get on the net!
Rational Yenny: Hmmm... I don't knooooow... But okay!
... -__-
So the bottom line? Both halves of my brain are working against me. Rational Yenny, who is supposed to be, well.. RATIONAL.. Is really not so rational at all. And this is why I have issues saying no and simply can't stop myself from acting impulsively.
But anyway.. That's my roundabout explanation of why I'm so happy tonight. Simply because I skipped the lecture, so as far as I'm concerned, the unpleasantness for this week is now totally over. ^^ This calls for a celebration! w00t! =D
~~>Tuesday 01.08.06<~~
Feeling: content
Ahh I had an awesome day today! I don't even feel the need to complain about the 8am start, or the craziness of the fact that I'm actually passing up the chance to complain about something =P Well.. It wasn't like a totally fantabulous, whacktastic day [oookay now I'm just going overboard with made-up words].. But nothing went wrong, and I should be grateful for that. And that's why it was awesome.
Today I saw quite a few people ^______^ It's always nice seeing people around. Well, people that you like anyway =P *cough* not Thursdays *cough*. Today I ran into William Wong twice, met up with Kevin in the city, had tea and brocoli with Emroze [LOL], bumped into Imrar, got surprised by Sam, sat with Romeo at the bus stop, and managed to catch the same bus home with Jaclyn-sama. w00t! So I'm feeling pretty damn cheerful now =]
Oh oh oh!! And guess what I ate today!! Muahahaha... A Goo-Goo Cone!! Teeheehee.. I was so ecstatic that I finally got to try one ^_______^ *whaleface* Okay so it wasn't peanut butter flavoured, but it did have peanuts! [One of which decided to get stuck halfway down my throat =P] And it DID taste delicious! The ice cream is so rich, and thick, and solid, and HOMGItWasJustAbsolutelyDelicious!! And I'm not just saying that just because it's Eric-branded icecream ^__~
Anyhoo I'm taking the rest of the night off haha.. Since I'm in a good mood I may as well try to prolong the lifespan of my endorphins before Thursday when it all comes crashing down again. I think I'll finish watching 'Guns and Talks' over a nice steaming bowl of soupy 2 minute noodles.. *droool* Hahaha am I the only person who gets all drooly over instant noodles? o__O =P
Later days sons ^^
~~>Tuesday 01.08.06<~~
Feeling: optimistic
Wooow it's like 9.05 in the morning, I'm here at uni in the library comp labs, I've been here since 7.30 in the morning and I have to stick around until 5pm... I am surely going to crash and burn. �__�
So.. Why is Uncle Yenny at uni so early? Well sons, this is the first step towards my become a morning person =P Every Tuesday I now have the joy of waking up at 5.45am to get to my advertising tute by 8am. Oh, goody! =D
Well all sarcasm aside, I think I might actually enjoy this class. I hate the early start, but my tutor seems really cool and so far the content of the unit doesn't seem drastically hard which is good because that's precisely the reason why I changed out of Jap and into this one ^^
Well I'm in the mood to rant at the moment, probably because I'm trying to put off getting any work done. [I'm going to be here for the next 5 hours until my lecture in the afternoon so I planned to do lots of research for my PR assignment, but you know how it is.. =P]
Hmm.. Well.. I guess I'd better get started. Expect lots more ranting and bitching from me later on in the day, particularly along the lines of "OhGODIHatePROhGODIHateItSoMuch".. =P
~~>Monday 31.07.06<~~
Feeling: cheerful
I am like a human yo-yo. My mood swings go up and down. Fortunately today I'm feeling relatively "up" rather than "down." I'm surprised how cheerful I am actually, considering how nothing is really working out the way I want it to at the moment.. But I guess there's only so much bitching and whining a person can do before they themselves get sick of it too.
Anyway I've thought of a strategy, a way to get around my extreme discomfort regarding Thursday night's PR classes... It's quite simple, really. I just won't go. =P
Yeeeeah, I'm taking the easy cowardly way out. I'll go to lectures but where I can afford to skip tutes, I will. And as long as I put that time to good use instead of blowing it on frivilous things like watching 'Diary of June' [=P], I think I should be able to get by okay in that subject. Actually I'd be happy to pass with a 4, so I'm just going to rely on doing extreeemely well in my other units to bring up my shitty GPA. Is that a little optimistic? Putting all my eggs in one basket? Indeedy-doo. But this is me we're talking about. Uncle Yenny is a highly illogical person.
I'm actually at uni right now, I've just come from my IMC tute. It's amazing... I really thought I would hate IMC but so far I'm liking it just fine. Hah hah hah. Mondays are a God-send compared to Thursdays =(
While I'm in the process of rambling randomly and illogically, I woke up this morning with the sudden urge to eat peanut butter ice cream and chocolate cookies that come in a box with 'Binch' printed on the front. Ahhhahaha... Yes, even though I no longer swoon over Eric Mooooon, the youth-oriented product positioning in his CFs still really get to me =P
By the way, did you know Eric of Shinhwa's last name is actually pronounced as Moon, not Mun like how everyone spells it? Amazing.. Jaclyn and I discovered this a couple of weeks back, which means we have to eat our words and take back all the times we laughed at people who spelt it as Moon instead of Mun. *shakes head*
Well anyways I'm off to my IMC lecture now. I hope it's good =]
Later days son!

The stuff below came up in a conversation with someone.. I don't mean to be disrespectful or anything, that's why I'm leaving it anonymous.. I just found it somewhat poetic, and it got to me on a more emotional/thinking level so.. I'm sharing. If that person happens to be reading this [you know who you are] and don't want this up here.. Tell me and I'll take it down straight away =]
...
I want someone to roll aorund in the grass with
To sneak out at night aorund the side of the house...
Who shows up at my place out of the blue to call me names
Who'll go to gigs with me
Who'll get drunk with me in one of those group meeting library rooms
Who'll actually be interested in playing video games with me sometimes
Not much romance
No pretty restaurants
No expensive gifts... Just thoughtful, sentimental ones...
*sigh*
If only the world went the way we wanted it to.

My Nova job offer came in the mail yesterday.. I guess I was kind of surprised, but I think maybe because I wasn't expecting it so soon. It just adds more pressure to the load now because I have to hurry up and make up my mind before August the 11th.
In all honesty, I wish I could just throw all my belongings in a suitcase and up and go right now. I don't want to be here anymore. If it were up to me right now, I would take the offer. Take it and run. Just so I could get away right now. Am I stuck in some kind of rut? I feel so.. useless. I can't do anything right. I hate the way things are at the moment. What am I doing with my life? Where am I going? I'm here once again.. Going in circles.. Doing nothing.. Wasting time away..
I'm useless.
I hate uni. I wish I'd planned out my final year properly instead of leaving everything to the last minute. I hate PR. I hate my classes. God, I just hate everything under the goddamn sun don't I. But even worse, I hate the fact that I can't seem to do anything except bitch and moan about it. Why can't I do something useful? Why can't I get my act together?
I hate this feeling that I can't shake off. I feel nervous, anxious, all fluttery... I don't know how to get rid of it. How is it that I can let something get to me so badly?
I don't feel like I'm going to do very well this semester, in fact.. Forget about raising my GPA.. Right now I feel like I'd be lucky to even pass.
I'm pathetic.
Won't you take me away...
Far, far away from here...
Away from it all
Away from everyone
Away from everything
I don't want to be here anymore...
Won't you save me...
Save me from myself
From what I've become
From the pain of it all
I don't want to go on anymore...
Please won't you help me...
Help me to be strong
Help me to cope
Help me not to lose myself
I need someone to save me...
