korean freanzy...i heart astro channel 303

I love how the Koreans talk...haha...I am so going to imitate them soon...someone pls teach me how to speak Korean!!!

****************************************

So this past holidays I am so happy to be able to watch TV! Yes, TV plays a significant part in my life. LOL.

My favourite channel now is definitely KBS Channel 303. Especially the 11.20pm slot. Hehe. Monday got Entertainment Weekly for latest news on Korean celebrities (most of them I don't even know, but still funny to watch), Wednesday is Star Golden Bell Challenge (super super funny, the guest celebrities are so LMAO!), Thursday is Music Bank (latest, coolest songs) and then Friday is Two Days One Night, a variety show which also gives me stomach cramps because another damn funny show.

So sad my holiday break is coming to an end. I cannot watch these shows anymore...until my next break, which is study week then. Haih...

My favourite contestant on Star Golden Bell Challenge, Chung Lim. Not only is he handsome, but smart too. He got into the final round, but sadly, did not get the last answer right.

I am so loving this song "Candy to my ears" by Baek Ji-Young and Taecyeon of 2pm. I LOVE Taecyeon. He is hawt ;)

Thanks to Ai Li who told me about "Wild Bunny" on her blog, I went and watch one of the episodes where 3 members of 2PM (Taecyeon, Wooyoung and Chansung) and 2 members of 2AM (Jokwon and Seulong) formed, "Dirty-Eyed Girls", performing a parody of B.E.G.'s "Abracadabra". Damn hilarious weiii...must-watch!!!

Now, I also like the super cute Wooyoung of 2PM. Like small boy look hor ;)

He is quite quiet but also equally funny like the rest of the guys

But of course, my favourite is still Ok Taecyeon!!! He is seriously funny and good-looking as well =)

Ai Li, berani you mau rampas my Taecyeon!

Does anyone think Taecyeon of 2PM looks a little like TOP of Big Bang? Hmmm...

My favourite contestant in Two Days One Night is super cute boy Lee Seunggi. I am always rooting for him to win. Luckily, he wins most of the challenges. Haha.

With main host Kang Hodong. He is the only guy in this variety show that is still single. Hohoho. Besides that, MC Mong and Jiwon are also so so so funny. I laugh like mad every time I watch this show!!!!

Of course, I am also watching 8TV's episodes of "Night After Night" with my favourite actress Kim Sun-ah and utmost good-looking Lee Dong-gun. Seriously, this guy is so cute ;)

confessions and AI season 8 takes: i cracked…

It is study week and I needed a dose of inspiration. What better place than on the Oprah show? The “Miracle Children” episode was so touching…Against all odds: They are true heroes – Lin Hao, the dedicated hall monitor, Cody the handsome boy who cannot stop smiling, and baby Elliot, who brought tears to my eyes…For more stories of the other inspirational children *click here*

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

…and I went to watched my guilty pleasure - “Confessions of a Shopaholic” even though I know I shouldn’t because it is study week after all. AHHHHHHHH!!!!! I cannot helppppp ittttttt!!!!!!

The way I rationalize it, is that by the time finals are over, maybe the movie will not be shown anymore…so better go watch it now while I have the chance right? Right? Please, someone needs to justify my action here. I am sure Mayzhee Lim would. LOL.

I have read the book, “Confessions of a Shopaholic” and I like it a lot. Sophie Kinsella makes Becky Bloomwood such a lovable character although she is such a compulsive liar. But even if you read the book, you will probably realize that the storyline in this movie is nothing like the book. Okay, so they have all the same characters but that’s about it. Is it any good? Well, I much preferred the book because I felt the storyline in this movie was a little too cliché. Like really? A little too good to be true.

Can I just say I absolutely adore Isla Fisher in this movie? She is so cute and so funny that this movie would not be the same without her in it. Also, I secretly want her hair. I love redheads. LOL.

Although fashion is mostly the central theme in this movie, Isla / Becky’s clothes seemed a little too mismatched, IMH, but maybe it is to suit her bubbly personality I guess. Love love love all the shoes though.

  

Hugh Dancy plays Luke Brandon (in the Shopaholic series, they eventually get married). Honestly, I have never heard of this guy before until this movie. But I am going to post his pics and talk about him because he looks a little like James McAvoy, whom I simply admires.

This is what I wore for movie in Mid Valley. The dirt-cheap trench-coat from Bangkok, cheap belt from Sg Wang and this new skinny pants that I bought from somewhere that I forgotten. Oh ya, if you noticed much clearly, I am also holding my new camera, still Canon like my previous one, only in boring silver.

We had lunch at Dragon-i again and had the scrumptious and overly expensive “Siew long bao” again! This time I tried the Black Pepper La Mian and it tasted better than the dish I tried during my previous visit. 

Okay, already feeling guilty that I went to watched a movie and now blogging?!!! Seriously, must get back to my books so I am keeping this post short, simple and sweet.

But before I go, just want to mentioned about Adam Lambert, one of the contestants from AI, who is fast becoming one of my fave on the show. His vocals isn’t that fantastic and sometimes he can be very theatrical, very OTT but I will give him props for being different. And his eyes are simply smoking (freakin’ hot) despite him wearing “guyliner”. LOL. His performance of “Mad World” last week is definitely my favourite so far this season.

I say, there are more male contestants on AI this season and they are all pretty good-looking. There is the goody-two-shoes Kris Allen, very cute but a little on the boring side. Anoop Desai, the guy who reminds me of Slumdog Millionaire (LOL) and I am rooting for him because he is Asian. Too bad he always end up in the bottom three. Also, Matt Giraud the very JT and Michael Buble look-alike that I like too. He managed to make the song that I find annoying (“Part-time lover”) very likeable. Lastly, Danny Gokey, the spectacles guy that I like a lot during his first ever performance (Mariah Carey’s “Hero”) but slowly becoming forgettable for me. Good-looking too.

Yes, this season is very “eye-candy-ish” (I realized there is no such word, tq). Oh ya, I also like Allison Iraheta because she reminds me so much of Kelly Clarkson, that I like as well. Rock girls rule! Lil Rounds, me no liking so much. I know she has the greatest vocals on the show but she is deadpan boring, week after week. I do think she is brimming with potential but she needs to change it up and stop imitating the legendary singers. Last week, I mean, she is so obviously imitating Tina Turner, with the dance moves and all. No no no. Be different. I want to see something different!!!

it's friday the 13th

And it's also Mr.KKL's 21st birthday!

_________________________________________________

Since it's Friday the 13th, I feel obliged to post something here. Ha-ha. But since not much happening lately, so have to just bear with me as I post something totally random. Lol.

So how am I spending my hols? Of course, with full-force indulgence! Sleeping, reading, internet surfing, music and watching the greatest invention ever - the television... (J.L. Baird is my hero!)

1) the Music addict

Well, more like DavidCook's music addict, although I think DavidArchuleta's version of "Imagine" (originally by John Lennon) is near-perfection (a must-listen!).

Anyways, the more I listen to this song, "The World I Know", the more I am in lurve with it. No wonder DavidCook was so eager to sing this song for the finale. I also heard the original version by Collective Soul but it does not even come close to DavidCook's version, which is just simple and sweet. Lovely.

The World I Know

Has our conscience shown?
Has the sweet breeze blown?
Has all the kindness gone?
Hope still lingers on
I drink myself of newfound pity
Sitting alone in New York City
And I dont know why
Are we listening to hyms of offering?
Have we eyes to see that love is gathering?
All the words that I've been reading
Have now started the act of bleeding into one
So I walk up on high
And I step to the edge
To see my world below
And I laugh at myself
As the years roll down.
Cause it's the world I know
-It's the world I know-

2) the TV addict

I am seriously one heck of a TV addict. I practically memorized all the TV shows guide everyday. Lol. I know, pathetic yes. But lately, there is this one show that captivated my interest. I first saw them on "Oprah", where they came on for an interview. After that, I gave their show a shot and found it absolutely interesting.

The show is none other than "Jon and Kate Plus 8", now currently showing on Channel 733. And omg, those kids are so so so precious. Cutie-pies:)

It tells about this couple, Jon and Kate, who, through artificial insemination, got themselves a pair of twins and sextuplets!

I know, sextuplets! Alexis, Leah, Hannah, Joel, Aaden and Collin. And they are so freakin' precious ok? Cute would be a trite thing to say.

Being an only child, I cannot imagine myself being 1/6 of sextuplets. But isn't it kinda cool though, when you go to school? Having 5 of your siblings in the same year as yourself? Lol. A bit kesian-lor, to see the mother. Those kids so naughty and hyperactive...just like children, I guess.

3) the Quotes addict

I first fell in lurve woth quotes early on in Form 6, because my then English teacher, Pn Jaya K., recommended we include quotes in our essays. So being the "dilligent" student I was back then (*rolls eyes*), I did some research into looking up on quotes and the more quotes I found, the more fascinated I become of them. And it's not just quotes by famous people and important literary figures. Even simple quotes from TV shows and chick lit books are also, I found, a very fervent thing to me.

So recently, I found this site on quotes from gossip girl. Okay, I know, this is kinda unconventional but when I read them, I must really applaud the writers on the show for all these catchy phrases. Seriously, I think people don't give writers enough credit, y'know.

This is my fave:

Blair: Chuck Bass is a romantic. Who knew?
Chuck: Now you know. And that is all that matters.

Awww...actually the reason Iike this is coz I like the pair of Blair & Chuck. Lol.

Blair: (to Georgina) Haven't you heard? I'm the crazy bitch around here.

Ha-ha. So straightforward and direct. I like.

well, I guess that is all...a totally random post. now excuse me as I am going to curl up on my sofa, listen to davidcook and read the chronicles of a gal who is almost turning 30, whose boyfriend cheated on her with her longtime friend, and then she sleeps with his best friend. Lol.

P.S....:P

4) the Crap addict

dance dance revolution

Ugh...holidays are about to end...so soon! I am so not looking forward to going back and mounting up all the stress again. *Sigh* I guess all good things must come to an end, as incredulous as I am. Results are also out on the 18th. Time to see if I sink or swim.

From belinda chee's blog: "If you look at what you do not have in life, you don't have anything. If you look at what you have in life, you have everything."

_______________________________________

My latest guilty pleasure of reality tv shows is none other than "Dancing With The Stars."

Helio and Julianne dancing the quickstep

I know. I am so not even a fan of reality tv (well, except American Idol, but that is an exception because I only watched it when they actually had great talent worth watching, like the latest season. It helps also they had gorgeous looking guys.lol)

Currently, BBC Entertainment (Channel 731) is showing Season 5 of DWTS, which sadly, is old news because in the US, they already crowned the winner of DWTS 6 a few weeks ago.

But if you do not care about who will win the competition (spoken when one already knows the winner) and just enjoyed the performances from these amateur entertainment has-beens (and some not so famous ones), I can assured you this show is highly addictive.

I am serious. I had no idea I would enjoy it so much and to think it was me mom who coerced me into watching it at first. Well, technically, we only have one TV at home and obviously, the mom's words are the majesty's words.

Mel B and Maksim doing the paso doble

Well, it's tonnes better than that crapshit "So You Think You Can Dance Malaysia?" If the first episode is anything to go by, it totally sucks. The host, Aishah Sinclair, not only looks like her hair was caught in a tornado and her clothes bought from some auntie flea market but her commentary skills were awful. I hope this is just a first time glitch because I do like her, but honey, you really did a ludicrous job. It was obvious you did not take your job seriously and did not give a damn trying to memorise the script. All throughthe night, she was fumbling her words, looking at the cards the whole time and basically, just annoyed the hell out of me.

And don't get me started on the judges. Oh gawd, I wonder how much time their brain need before it starts functioning? I could pulled all my hair out just waiting for them to even start talking. If you even understood what judge Ramli Ibrahim said, you are a loser or some alien from outer space. Because obviously, he is a female-version of Paula Abdul, only older, less charming and worser dress sense. And I think there is an unspoken rule that the more crapshit stuff (disguised as comments) that you talked, the smarter you look. Yeah, like hell.

The dancers...ugh! You know what? Malaysia is always so sensitive and narrow-minded. What happen to the chemistry dancing partners are supposed to have for each other? It is just a dance, for goodness sake! Just act it out-lah, nobody expect you to actually fall in love with your partner or call you a slut if you act all intimate. I swear, that gal Viv's tango - like 2 broomsticks dancing. No wait, 2 broomsticks dance would actually be more interesting. I think I would rather hang myself than to watch that horrible dance again.

Jennie and Derek dancing to the mambo

I really hope all the contestants will buck up. I will "forgive" them since it is just only the beginning.

Otherwise, the new title should be "So You Think You Can Dance In Hell?"

ten reasons i ♥ david cook (as if we all still need convincing)

'b' can be so damn unreliable sometimes...really dun wan him as a fren anymore...wtf

Oh you have to read this. Apparently there is a gossipgirl wannabe in Kuching who tries to make drama from no drama at all. Who knew, Kuchingites are as famous as New Yorkers? Or so Rumour Chick claims to be.

Classic Michael Johns quote (from Larry King when asked about idol David Hernandez who is gay and used to be a stripper): "If I had a body like that, I would strip too."

Before you continue, let me warn you that I am slightlycompletely obssessed with DavidCook. If you are a fan of DavidArchuleta or cannot stand a celebrity-obssessed girl, pls do not continue.

One day when I looked back on my 102nd post and see how infatuated I am with DavidCook, I am so going to laugh at myself.

DavidCook says thank you to his fans

If anyone is wondering for the lack of updates here, no, it is not because I have been going out.

I.have.been.at.home.the.whole.time.hooked.on.youtube.watching.mydavidcook.Lol.

Yup, I seriously think I have a gigantousobssession with that guy.

I hardly even watched the latest American Idol season at all, actually. Well, cannot help it if you are stuck in the hostel with no TV and tonnes of work that always seem never-ending. So yeah, I have to admit I have not actually been keeping up with AI 7 at all.

Then came that time when I saw the now-so-famous-performance-that-every-blogger-is-talking-about when mydavidcook (I so cannot call him DC because it reminds me of Denise Chin. Lol) sang that version of Mariah Carey's "Always be my baby". That guy totally changed my perception. All along, I thought davidarchuleta would win it all but after that performance, with that sexyhusky power vocals and that handsome face and that soulful gaze in his eyes (did I mentioned I am obssessed with him?), I just look forward to his performance every week.

Mom is a fan of davidarchuleta, anyway. Lol. So I won! Lol. Yeah, my Mom and I were at opposite ends during the season's finale.

But you know what is even better?

In AI 4, I rooted for Bo Bice. And Carrie Underwood won...(I like rockers)
In AI 5, I rooted for Kat McPhee. And Taylor Hicks won...(Lousiest season)
In AI 6, I rooted for Blake Lewis. And Jordin Sparks won...(BL definitely was different)

So yeah, you see, I am not such a so pah sing (bad-luck charm) after all. Lol.


Both Davids guitar hero commercials

So, without further adieu, I present to you the top 10 reasons me love mydavidcook:

#10: Because he has tattoos and tears

Yes, how often do you see a tattooed man who not only gets so into the lyrics but also into his emotions? Freakin' sexy (for me anyways).
#9: Because he has a rockin' sense of fashion style

Hankies in his back pockets? Layered necklaces? Tonnes of bracelets? Custom-made cowboy boots? Need I say more? Don't really approved his style all the time but him in a smart blazer and jeans - the epitome of a "sharp-dressed man". Hey, give credits to the guy for being pretty metrosexual.

#8: Because he is humble and compassionate

This sounds like a pretty cheesy reason but really, when you come from a small town, ready to give up things to pursue music in another state, sing in bars, part-time bartending - you should be humble by the circumstances. Also, a brother who fights brain tumour for as long as you have been in music? And nothing is sweeter than what he did for Lindsey Rose, the little girl afflicted with leukemia, for whom he wears an orange bracelet for.

#7: Because he has freakin' great hair.

You know what, guys should take a cue from him. When your hair/fringe/bangs is as long as your fingers, get a freakin' haircut already. Gosh, sometimes I don't get guys who are so into this long hair thing, and the long fringe. It does not look sexy at all. Men should have short hair, like they are supposed to, not so short until you look like you have been enlisted in the army but not so long like you just joined the la-la slash ah beng army ok? Look at the wonders of snippets did to mydavidcook:)


mydavid cook on VH1's Best Week Ever

#6: Because he knows like, half the words in the dictionary (ok, I may be exaggerating there)

If you are an avid fan of AI7, you might have seen a clip where mydavidcook self-proclaims himself as a word nerd, indulging in word puzzles. So yeah, women are attracted to brains ok? Besides the other obvious reasons.

Been watching his past performances that I missed on youtube. And also been watching some American Idol Extra video clips (blame the holidays for all this free time) and mydavidcook is more than meets the eye. He graduated from college in Graphic Design, even designing the album cover of his first independent solo album, pre-Idol. And yeah, he might talk pretty slow and soft for my liking, but extremely articulate. Plus, intelligent words flow out of him like river (cannot find any better comparisons). All the contestants even voted him "Most Brainy".There is something about smart guys that I find hot.

#5: Because he has a freakin' sense of humour

But what makes him even more attractive to me is that he is absolutely hilarious. He tells all these stupid jokes and make funny but smart comments on the camera. Yeah, you know what they say; Humour is the way to a woman's heart. No, I made that up. Ok ok. The way to MY heart, anyway.

How can you go wrong with a guy who is not afraid to laugh at himself?

mydavidcook funny moments

Oh yeah, davidarchuleta is also pretty funny, in a I-am-not-trying-to-be-funny kind of way. Like, he didn't mean to tell a joke but then it turns out to be funny. Jino-like, I would say. The blur kind of funnyman. Mydavidcook calls it "dry wit".

Random fact: He and davidarchuleta are the only singles in the Top 10. Lol.

#4: Because he is so freakin' talented that American Idol can just wrap up because they will not find anyone better than him

Besides being a freakin' good-looking rocker (it is time for rocker musicians to be acknowledged. Cheers for that), is the fact that he does not let himself become the song, he lets the song become him. We all know he is the usual rocker musician dude and sometimes the crappy themes on the show makes him do these crappy songs. (Sorry but Dolly Parton songs?) What is interesting is the fact that he plays around with the arrangements of these songs to suit his rocker style. And that is a breath of fresh air because who wants to hear all these old classics again (except all the ahem..."much mature" audience) in that same old classic style? This is the reason I think Daughtry got out last time, coz he sang a song which was so not totally him.

He even make me like "Billie Jean" and "Hello" again. Credits to him for that. I have to admit, am not a big fan of classics, esp those back in 80s'. They can get pretty annoying sometimes. I only like the 50s' (the big band element) and Beatles. So yeah, I am quite specific. Lol.

#3: Because he has a great laugh

Ok, can argue this almost same as being funny but you know, some funnymen just don't have that laugh that can brighten up a room...ok, this sounds so like a girly calendar motivational words.

Actually, I saw this clip on youtube and found it absolutely hilarious. Catch mydavidcook's laugh at the very end.


Both Davids on Guilermo's Hollywood Round-up

#2: Because one year ago, he was still singing in a bar to an audience of five people, where four of them are employees

Or so he jokes on Larry King Show but yeah, it kinda gives hope. That a down-to-earth slash grounded family guy slash self-independent musician/vocalist like him can be discovered on a cheesy show like AI 7 and become so famous that little girls are crying for him? (Seriously, why is American Idol always afflicted with crying pubescent girls?)

Some may say he got the votes because he is good-looking but dearies, then why the freakin' hell is Michael Johns voted out then??? Yes, he is one of my favourites too. To sum it up, mydavidcook has the whole package - looks+talent - sends electric shots down the spine of every adolescent girl, single women in thirties, career women, rock and roll junkies, divorcees, spinsters, grandmamas, and gay men. Yes I crapshit you not.

#1: Because he has gorgeous green eyes!!!

Need I say or elaborate anymore?

Freakin' upset right now. If only I was born in the US. If only I was freakin' loaded. If only the new sem does not have to start on July 1st. Otherwise I would buy tickets to USA and watch them on tour. They even have a meet-and-greet fan session. Aaargghh! wtf. What I would do just to see mydavidcook upclose. I know, crapshit that Malaysia is like so damn far. Right now, he is on every kind of talk show there is, and legions of fans following him wherever he goes. Freaking 97.5 million voters and he got 56% ok? Won by 12 million. Like, wow? And that is US alone. Plus, he got a page on wikipedia. Lol.

Ok, clearly this is like the longest post I have ever written...Have I mentioned how obssessed I am with mydavidcook? It just seems no end to what I have to say about my idol.

I think he can just persuade me to work next sem break (I forgot to mention how lazy I am) so I can save enough money to go LA and NY, my two dream destinations in the US of A, and of course ultimately to see him.

Or I can just try to persuade Mom to let me do my Masters in US...(^_^)

______________________________________________

omg. wtf. yeah yeah david cook is in the finale.

I was not even an American Idol fan, let alone a David Cook fan but when I saw him performed that remake version of Mariah Carey's "Always be my baby", omg, I was so spellbound ok? Added to the fact that I simply dig rocker musicians, David Cook is so my fave to win!

He is up against ballad boy, David A.

Yes, I am calling him "ballad boy" coz he sings ballads so damn well, but so-so for others. Ok ok, he is a cute boy as well. But toooooo sugary sweet boy d. His smile is flawless anyway.

Cannot tahan d. So so happy David Cook is in finale.

Musician rules. Rockers rule. Lengzhais rule.

Finally, an AI finale where both are lengzhais.

Go go go David Cook!
