RAMBLES: FRUIT/VEGETABLE SONGS :D

Now, if you haven't heard the epic banana and potato song, you must have been missing out! It's a very cute and adorable song about oh wells, what else? Banana and potato of course! X)

First up, we have the Banana and Potato Song!

This song was also sang by TaeTiSeo on a radio program. ;)

Next up, we have The Coconut Song!

This song was actually recommended by a friend when I told her about the banana potato song. It was hilarious to say the least and the song is now stuck in my head! T_T

Thirdly, we have the Korean Carrot Song!

This song is so cute and the lyrics are actually very adorable! Though I'm no big fan of carrots, this song is just too addictive to not sing it! :D

Do check out these very addictive yet hilarious songs! X) I highly recommend it! :D

KPOP: G.Na's 2HOT MV

Yes, G.Na recently made a comeback and I'm loving the dip dye she has gotten! The red dip dye looks fabulous on her! Now, I have listened to the audio before the music video was released and judging just from the audio itself, it sounded like a very fun and hip song. I expected the music video to be somewhat like Top Girl and yes, it was just like that.

In fact, G.Na's back up dancers were very pretty to say the least and they really caught my attention throughout the music video. I liked how this song sounded very fresh but I kinda of missed hearing G.Na singing ballads such as I'll Back Off So You Can Live Better which btw is included in her recent album as well. It is in English though but it sounded really good so do take a listen!

This is G.Na's infamous debut song, I'll Back Off So You Can Live Better

I'm glad G.Na actually recorded the English version of this song. After all, she was born in Canada. ;) English was not an issue. I was surprised however that it didn't sound odd at all. The song sounded very good in both versions, be it Korean or English.

Anyways, back to the music video, fashion wise, I liked the outfits in the song and the chorus of the song really gets stuck in your head. It's catchy and very addicting. I'm now very eager to see G.Na performing this song on Mubank!

You would also notice that in the music video, there was a scene where there was fire because oh well, G.Na is one hot lady. X)

The dance moves are also very very sexy and there were so many muscular guys to ogle at as well! X) All in all, I liked the music video and G.Na's comeback definitely did not disappoint me! In fact, I'm very much impressed by the rest of the tracks on the album. There is also a track where Jay Park was featured so do check it out as well! :)

Oh wells, this is the music video for you peeps to watch! :)

RAMBLES: 9GAG

I personally visit 9gag.com everyday just to get some amusement and truth be told, some of the posts there are truly funny. Now, if you haven't heard people saying terms such as Forever Alone, Y U NO? and also the very famous Bitch please face, you must be missing out! These terms has gotten so popular and I myself drew some of the meme you can find on 9gag. My favourite meme would have to be the troll face, hands down.

I drew this a while back so yeah, no judging. LOL

This is the infamous Bitch please face ;)

This is the very popular Jackie Chan meme which is used to express the amount of disbelief probably? XD

This is one of my favourite memes cos forever alone guy is just so epic.

This is the okay guy. Yes, okay guy looks sad all the time. *sighs*

I have lots of favourite 9gag posts so to choose one is rather difficult but I wanted to share my love for 9gag.com on my blog so if you're curious, do check out the website! :) And yes, here's a Y U NO guy meme for you peeps! :)

KPOP: SISTAR's Alone MV

I'll be honest, I was never a fan of SISTAR when they first debuted. In fact, their debut song sounded too cheesy to me. I hardly gave them any attention. I say this, and yet I have Shady Girl and Ma Boy in my iTunes. =_='' Shady Girl was just alright but the song that caught my attention was How Dare You. I was like, this was the same group that sang Push Push a while back? WOW.

This was during How Dare You promotions.

This is the sub unit that were formed, consisting of Hyorin and Bora affectionately named SISTAR 19

And then Ma Boy was released and I really liked that song. I bet everyone did. In fact, that song catapulted Hyorin and Bora into fame. They are far more recognized now what with Hyorin casted in Dream High 2 and Bora being a fixed cast member on Invincible Youth.

Now, just so you know, there are 4 of them in SISTAR and yes, the other 2 members are not as famous but the each member of SISTAR has distinctive features and it's quite easy to remember their names

First off, we have Hyorin, who is a vocal powerhouse and has also released a solo song for the drama Man of Honor, which btw is a must watch! :)

Next, we have Bora, who happens to be my bias and SISTAR's sexy rapper ;)

Thirdly, we have Dasom who normally sports a short haircut. ;)

Lastly, we have Soyu who has extremely long hair and wonderful vocals.

Anyways back to the mv, the song has this addictive intro at the beginning with Hyorin whispering some English lyrics in the background and of course, the repetitive usage of "Na honja" which basically means I alone is catchy and the dance moves were very sexy.

Hyorin sounded so darn good in this song too and its hard to not like her. I especially liked the bit where she sings "I'm falling down" twice. And yes, Hyorin basically sings the most but how can you complain when you get such a fantastic song to listen to?

I also like to commend the quality of the music video and I especially liked the long dresses they wore. They were unique and eye catching, to say the least.

In conclusion, I liked the music video and the song, Alone is very very catchy and refreshing to listen to. I've had my fair share of auto tune and I didn't like it one bit. In addition, I also happen to like how SISTAR worked the sexy concept as well. They should definitely stick to it and continue to release songs like Alone.

Last but not least, here's the music video for curious peeps to watch. :)

KPOP: EXO-K's MAMA MV

Yes, I'm finally reviewing my latest favourite boyband's hyped up music video. It was hyped up, considering the number of teasers they had but the music video was definitely worth the wait! So yes, I remember watching a while back and I was definitely and I repeat, definitely awed by the music video. Well, it was really interesting that they all had special powers and that each member had their moment to shine. They looked very similar at first and considering how there are many idol groups debuting now, its hard to keep up.

EXO-K caught my attention for being the latest idol group debuting from one of the biggest 3 companies in South Korea, that is none other than SM Entertainment. Their name was the easiest to remember as well and I liked how exotic Kai looked. I'm just biased like that. :P

Hello there, handsome Kai ;)

I also kept on confusing between Chanyeol and Baekhyun and I wasn't able to differentiate them until I saw them live on stage. Chanyeol is tall and Baekhyun has great vocals.

This is Chanyeol ;)

This is Baekhyun or otherwise known as Bacon X)

Suho was the easiest to remember as he looked pretty much like the younger version of SJ's Siwon. I happen to adore Siwon a lot so yes, Suho is pretty much one of my favourite members in EXO-K

This is the cute leader of the group, Suho ;) Looks a lot like Siwon no? :P

This is Sehun, the youngest in EXO-K or otherwise known as the maknae ;)

And last but not least, let me introduce to you D.O, the member with the strong voice ;)

Now, as you watch the music video, you would hear them chanting these few words repeatedly throughout the song.

Careless, careless,
Shoot anonymous, anonymous,
Heartless, mindless,
No one, who care about me?

I don't recall where I had read online about the meaning behind these lyrics but its somehow depicting careless beings who hurt strangers and that they were being heartless and mindless about it. And so, the EXO-K members are pleading and asking mother nature as to why people are changing and so forth. Basically, MAMA means mother nature and the song, (although it was just a debut song) has far more depth in the lyrics than a lot of songs out there.

You would also notice the dance break and Kai screaming so sexily as he yelled out the lyrics loudly. This part of the song, though unexpected is a nice addition to the already amazing vocals and synchronized dance moves. The dance moves are complicated and yet EXO-K did it flawlessly with the least amount of effort.

All in all, I liked the music video though the introduction (before all of the action begins) kind of amuses me a little. The boys are an eye candy to look at and you honestly can't find the least good looking member in this group. LOL. It's hard, trust me. You end up liking each one of them and then you'll start saving their pictures and end up with a folder for each member on your laptop. :P

Anyways, here is the music video, minus the narration for any interested peeps to watch. ^_^

                             

GADGETS: iPad 2 Review

My iPad 2 ;)

As most of my friends would know, I have an iPad 2 and it is one of my most prized gadgets! I'll admit that I'm a huge Apple fan and yes, the iPad 2 was a nice addition to my collection. ;)

I currently have a 16GB iPad 2 and the software version is 5.01 which I think is pretty much updated compared to the version 4.1 that I had previously. I have even affectionately named my iPad, Dimitri and it has been a must have gadget ever since! :)

Many have asked as to why I have not chosen the Samsung Galaxy Tab or the Acer Tablet instead but honestly, the answer to that question is clearly simple. Being a long time Apple user, it is only comfortable to use the iPad 2 instead of the other tablets out there. It is of the similar interface as the iPhone and considering how I already have iTunes installed, it is truly easy to use. A simple sync is all that is needed to transfer all of my songs to the iPad 2.

Note that, if you have not used an Apple product before this, using the iPad would be a little bit tricky. You might not be used to the Apple interface as each brand has very different user interfaces.

5 Reasons Why You Should Get An iPad 2


1. Fluidity


First off, the whole fluidity of the iPad 2 is truly appealing. I especially like to pinch the screen. :P There's the whole new feature where you use 4 fingers to open the small mini task bar to switch to other applications. That feature makes everything much more simple and fast. Another feature worth mentioning is the new split keyboard feature which makes typing much more easier! Basically, when you have the keyboard divided at either end of the screen, it makes typing all the more enjoyable. It feels as if you're typing a text message to a friend. ;)

A. Feature #1: the small mini taskbar

B. Feature #2: optional divided keyboard 

(BEFORE)

(AFTER)

2. Resolution

I've saved tons of pictures on my iPad 2 and depending on the quality of the pictures, the resolution differs with every different kind of picture. But speaking from experience, viewing pictures on the iPad 2 are a true joy to the eyes. :) Below are some examples.

3. Web surfing

Surfing the web on the iPad 2 is incredibly smooth too. You can open almost up to 8 tabs at once and pictures are saved easily with a simple touch. Also, if you happen to be reading a PDF file while browsing on Safari, you can always choose to open it in the Adobe Reader app which is available for free on the App Store. ;) There is also an option to print pages of sites that you find interesting.

4. Visually attractive

I've just changed my iPad 2's cover and honestly, it was a nice change from the previous white chocolate colour I had. The iPad 2 is slim and you can buy the covers at just about anywhere. Currently, I have the pink one. ;) Do take note that an iPad 2 cover in Msia might just cost you a sum of RM250++

5. Durability and recommended applications

As of right now, I have a number of 90++ applications on my iPad 2 and it has been running just fine. I have been using the iPad 2 for about 5 months now and its safe to say that I've yet to experience any random lag during web surfing or power shutdown while watching videos. I have to stress that I've yet to drop my iPad 2 so yes, do not expect your iPad 2 to run smoothly if it has been dropped from a high level several times. It is after all just a device. ;) With proper care, any device would surely be of good companion. ;) Some of the applications I would recommend would be as listed below,

Top 10 apps you must have!

1. iBooks
2. Google Translate
3. Dictionary
4. Adobe Reader
5. Classes
6. iTunes U
7. iCurrencyPad
8. Viber
9. TuneIn Radio
10. Fun Collages

P.S.

These apps are essential to have and depending on your personal preferences, apps such as Classes are ideal for students as the app is designed to arrange your classes and thus being your personal mobile timetable on the go! :)

P.P.S

Last but not least, being an avid iPad 2 user myself, I would highly recommend anyone to get an iPad. Be it the iPad 2 or the new iPad, both are a real treat to have. ;) Do take note that it is highly recommended to install the latest version of iTunes as the iPad 2 won't sync to your iTunes if your iTunes version is too old. Apple products requires an update every now and then, so yes, those updates do make a difference! :D So do update your iPad 2 whenever you can! :)

KPOP: JJ Project's Bounce MV

The music video for JJ Project is finally out and honestly, I find it rather refreshing. I was wondering why JB had a quirky hairdo but oh well, there was some headbanging routine in that music video. *chuckles* I see why now, JB. :) Truthfully, I like the whole concept and given that they had previously acted in Dream High 2 before this, it is bound to give them the attention any debuting artist would covet. I'm a fan of both of them and I'm really liking their debut song. ;)

here's the music video ;)

Honestly though, with two good looking guys in a project, how can any girl not fancy them? X)
