An absolutely new story with the same niche of vampires, but also of my latest (frenzied) addition, werewolves.
Oh! Hi again! It's been a while, isn't it. Yeah, I've been busy to blog the crap out of me. Life was fine in Lendu, Melaka. Found lots of new friends and they're all awesome as hell. For only four months we had great memories together (and yes, I have not find a boyfriend or Dad will totally kill me) but all is well. Except for finals and MUET for sure.
When I was away (I was online the whole time but sorry for abandoning you, my dear blog) I haven't written anything as serious as Difference. Though Difference is still an on-going fan-fiction (planned to post it as soon as I've finished a chapter or two, unfortunately my laptop's battery was fucked up, so I didn't get the chance to finish it), I had an idea of writing a much more serious and intense fan-fiction. It would involve my biases and other idols whom I randomly choose, K-pop or J-pop, and I want to create a history of twisting people's mind and create ships that are impossible to ship. I foresee it'll be long as hell. I might post some insights of my ideas later. I haven't determine who would be in the story, or how it'll be, but I'll try to make it as clear as possible, since..... I'm never clear of things.
I should tell you about my obsession with Teen Wolf which actually led me to this idea.
Since I'm always driven to write dark and mysterious stuff like Difference, I'm exuberant to get my hands on this werewolf topic. It just happened to be the 'it' thing now with EXO's comeback track: Wolf and Growl, I can't see what's not to like! Vampires are quite mainstream now, I want to add these two elements of the creatures of the night together to produce a better fan-fic. Just striving to be better, you know....
It started with Teen Wolf, the 2011 series, anyway. I happened to recall the Great Wall of China worth of series I wanted to watch and this series happened to be one of it. It took me exactly a month (I could have finished watching it less than a week - okay, two weeks, tops - but when I get to Alor Setar, I can't watch it as there was no internet access. It was a cool story, I was really into it. Though it did involve shipping OTPs and some seagull yelps (do seagull yelp?), I was totally amazed by it. Thanks to the male actors, it was one of the most important factor I kept watching (see how straight I am?!). Of course I do appreciate the storyline, characters, the emotions conveyed, but damn, which girl can resist handsome, chiseled bodied men with wit, I-am-sarcastic kind of humour in a series? Yes, I was obsessed with it. And I am! Well, I'm not the only one in the world who happen to fangirl this series, am I?
What made me addicted to this series apart from the red-hot-chili guys?
1. Since I am so into supernatural things, yes I can read or watch something for hours because I am so interested in it.
2. I happen to like series with a character with sarcastic humour. In Vampire Prosecutor, they have Hwang Soonbum and in Vampire Diaries, Damon Salvatore. In TW, they have Stiles Stilinski, who is absolutely sarcastic. Nothing that comes out of his mouth is not sarcastic. But to my dismay, he wasn't as sarcastic in season 3, he maybe have matured in the sense of attitude and speech, but how I wish I can laugh till my head explodes to his sarcasm-filled sentences again.
3. Hmm..... Major twists. Though obviously Scott McCall is the protagonist and it is very much obvious, he sometimes have to sacrifice himself to go to the dark side even if it was a matter of minutes. While watching at the end of season 3, I know he's going to come back as a hero (of course he is) and even though I know, I sometimes weighed my thoughts, like, "What if he really is going to be the bad guy?" And in season one when he became a sudden badass dude who even treated his BFF Stiles like shit, he still ended up as the good guy only after the full moon was over. Predictable, yet it could be mind blowing to think of possibilities.
4. Songs, songs, songs! The playlists of all three seasons are extremely vibrant. From pop, to electronica, to indie, whatever genre, you name it. You know that the songs played in the background reflects the scene and whatever scene was in TW, everything fits the songs. I don't know if it was because TW is on MTV, but I can't help but to love....
So, that's it for now. I'll think through everything before posting. Till then!

Korean Songs Worth Replaying
So I'm back! Haha! It's been a while, isn't it? I haven't type down like this for months! Now that I'm over SPM and school, I think I'll be writing a lot of fan-fictions just to fill my time while waiting for my results to come out next month.
I got the idea of writing this very post is because I found out something funny in my iTunes. I discovered that I played Danger (MC Sniper, Rinoo and Kim Seohyun) for 63 times. That's only in the laptop but how about in MP3 and replaying the audio version online? It'll be countless. I didn't realize this - ever - because I wasn't paying attention to the numerous of times I replayed the song over and over again. I just love the song and I love Vampire Prosecutor 2.
So I'll begin my personal list of Korean Songs Worth Relaying in no particular order of how awesome they are (probably in alphabetical order...) and not all songs gets into this list. So.... without any further ado, here they are. :)

Sexy, Free and Single aka the 6th jib
Woo hoo! The wait is finally over guys!
Our oppas are back with their sixth album and their first single is... Sexy, Free & Single. I once joked about it: If Dad saw me Googling this thing called 'Sexy, Free and Single' and he'll though it's a porn, I'll let him Google it himself and he'll be eyebrow-raised in no time!
There are 10 songs in the album with 10 different genres (I bet they were experimenting) and it shocked me because 10 songs with 10 different genres are hard to produce and they would need lots of creativity for it. But of course, they succeed experimenting.
I heard that From U (a song from one of the VCR on SS3, and I was there in one of the concert, but I can't even remember!) was a song from Super Junior to ELF. It's very sweet and I actually could hear a lot of Ryeowook's sweet yet powerful vocals in this masterpiece. But sorry, my Net is slow right now, so I can't provide these videos and etc. Some time later, I promise.
"This album was not created to win, this was created for ELF."
I just found this one on one of my friend's retweets (credits to @taomuscle on Twitter) and it touched my heart. Probably SJ thinks like that, but I can tell you that ELFs are dying to do everything right now. We're going all out now.
Uh, I guess till here for now. I'm too tired. I can't even download the songs.
Till then everyone!

Sixth Album: SEXY, FREE & SINGLE.
That OMG moment when the time ticks even closer to the date you're waiting for....
...and that date has to be on July 1st.
Apart from Leader Leeteuk's 29th (30th) birthday, but the fandom finally went wild.
It's the day "SEXY, FREE & SINGLE" is out.
What's that?, you may ask.
No worries. I asked myself that at first.
It's the latest 2012 album (or jib) on Super Junior, where Kangin joins the group back and happily ever after.
But I just hope that Kibum would just suddenly appear in the MV, rapping and dancing like he always do... It's been three years since Sorry Sorry, where he only appeared in the MV and did nothing but just act out his part. Very devastating, honestly.
I actually laughed when I saw Hyukjae's teaser. It was absolutely funny. It's the second year, I realized, that his eyes are invisible. It's his asset, alright? I don't know, hmm.... But Donghae looked absolutely beautiful! weird, no?
So these are the teasers. We'll just wait for the rest of the teasers to be released.
P/S: Aren't you excited that KIM YOUNGWOON is back? =D
P/S/S: I'm 'temporarily closed' when it comes to fan-fiction. I'll come back after SPM, with a better quality fan-fictions. At least, I do have some spare time to write better. A lot of spare time, even!

How I (Suddenly) Became an Infinite's Inspirit + A Piece of Advise on Pushing Yourself to Pursue What You Want + The Infamous Trial of a Fangirl to List Her Bias
How I became an Infinite's Inspirit so suddenly? HOW?! Wait, as I'm writing this I honestly don't know why and how I suddenly liked and later love Infinite. It's nothing like how I found out on Super Junior (I basically listened to It's You one day in 2010 and fell in love with it and automatically, it's SJ) so yeah, how did I became a sudden Inspirit?
It was end of last year that I wanted to know about Infinite. Why do people love Infinite? I was jealous with the ones who knew Infinite earlier than I do, so I was like, Why can't I remember their names but L? Actually, in the process of learning their names and etc., I actually not supposed to know who's supposed my bias until I know all of them (so it ain't L, sorry). So I made an assumption on why I only knew L's name but not the rest : He's the only one with a single letter 'L' as the name (and yeah, remember Death Note?), he's cute and there's something about his eyes that I can't comprehend plus his name is like Park Myungsoo, the variety show host, only L's surname is Kim.
But later I went to a DVD shop and saw Infinite's album and bought it. I actually have heard of their 2011 hits like Nehkkuh Haja (Be Mine) and Paradise and knew the songs by heart, yet I don't know the members. So after begging Mum to buy it (and yeah, she did) I listened to every song there was.
My brothers knew their names even earlier than I do (is it a guy thing?) so they started calling names like Sungkyu, Sungjong, Hoya and the rest and I knew that it was Infinite (because they were watching Infinite's vids, duh) so yeap. I made an initiative to learn their names so I got a copy of my favourite mag with their names there and study their faces so I can recognize them.
So yeah, I could recognize them all now. The thing is, how I fell in love with Infinite wasn't the same like how I fell for SJ. Firstly, I tried hard to know their names but for SJ I put on extra effort and a month of deprived nights so I could just learn their names. Secondly, I almost gave up on Infinite, but not on SJ. Thirdly, remember GDA 2010? I cried for SJ - like hell. But I don't even cry for Infinite.
See, the differences is actually nothing. I love SJ as much as I love Infinite, but of course I stan for the fifteen boys more. It's just that, the effort I gave to Infinite is just like, maybe 50% but on SJ, 110%.
Speaking of effort, I want to give a piece of reminder to everyone. I'm actually not the kind of girl who actually give my everything for something I want (LOL) but yes, this is a reminder to myself and to everyone - put on lots of effort on things you want to do.
Like, I just gave an example on how I badly I wanted to know about SJ and Infinite. That was the thing that wanted, and I have finally learned them. Yes, and that was what I wanted. Now, of course there are other things that I wanted but it's even more crucial than K-pop (as K-pop's for leisure) and it's the matter of my future and life which is to ace SPM.
SPM is like, the highest point of every 17 year old Malaysians - only they realize it or not. I just realized how important it is and how freaking fast the exam is getting nearer and nearer. I'm scared now, but yeah, all I cared is K-pop and J-pop.
You should know what is crucial in your life so that you can do better in it. It doesn't mean that my SPM's in November and now it's already March and I still have time for leisure and fun. Of course there's leisure and fun but there's a horizon that divides the reality and the 'fun stuffs'. For me it's pretty late already, but again, remember, with the right amount of effort and prayers (for me, I'm a devote Muslim) and it is never too late. Look around you. Some people were 'born' geniuses, but some take small steps to become geniuses, yet others never done anything to be genius. Probably with small steps, you could become a genius and who knows what's in store for you!
So lesson to be learned, though the seconds tick by, you must open your mind to think that there's a path that is made for you to succeed and you'd only get to reach the path's entrance with working harder. It is never too late to cover up what you've missed (and what I missed is like, a lot) only with working harder.
So yeah, that was serious, but now, let's get to the fun stuff!
As you know, as a K-popper, I think that every male K-Idols are my boyfriends, fiancee and future husbands, yet as a FANGIRL, I gotta realize that they don't know me and I don't know them in real life either. Yet, it's not a harm to adore and ship and love and more love you biases, no?
So welcome to Qila's Infamous Trial to List Her 20 Top Biases of Japan and Korea!

As Promised... ;D
Sorry it took me about two weeks to update again. I'm really busy with the pre-test and endless of school works. I'm getting home by five and seriously I've got no time to do things I really wanted to do so much. Anyway, it's school holidays now, yay!
As promised in my last post on those K-Dramas and a Tangalo drama, Nandito Ako which has our American Idol David Archuleta as the main actor. Yes, the main actor.
VAMPIRE PROSECUTOR 2
Okay, like I said in my previous post, they still secure the main casts like Yeon Junghoon, Lee Youngah, Lee Wonjong, Kim Jooyoung and Jang Hyungseung (not JS oppa, again I say, NOT JS OPPA!). I made assumptions that we shall see new characters, yet we never know. It will start around August or October this year, so guys, buckle up your fangirl selves for now; you'll let them loose when VP2 starts.

Okay, like I said in my previous post, they still secure the main casts like Yeon Junghoon, Lee Youngah, Lee Wonjong, Kim Jooyoung and Jang Hyungseung (not JS oppa, again I say, NOT JS OPPA!). I made assumptions that we shall see new characters, yet we never know. It will start around August or October this year, so guys, buckle up your fangirl selves for now; you'll let them loose when VP2 starts.
HERO
I must say that OCN has the best dramas ever. Though we can see that those dramas reflects the Western ideas, but the Korean style's still applies and they did an excellent job in it. *clap clap*
So Hero's basically about Kim Hyeungchul who obtains superpowers by chance and uses those gift of his for justice. It's set in a fictional (of course it is) city of Muyeong (which Gotham City sounds familiar to you now) in 2020 which is full of injustice and corruption.
So you'll have your Yang Donggeun in this drama, so anticipate it, okay?!
SPECIAL AFFAIRS TEAM : TEN
If you're a fan of CSI+NCIS+Criminal Minds, then this would be your drama calling. TEN's a special affairs team that handles the 'hot stuffs' as in violent cases which has only 10% or less rate to arrest. So they solve the near-perfect crimes and the mystery at the end of the day will unveil. So yeah.
Joo Sangwook acts as Yeo Jihoon who is a top-notch former detective who later works as a professor. Jo Ahn's Nam Yeri's a detective for four years joins TEN for her abilities of psychological reasoning powers. And there's Kim Sangho (remember City Hunter?) who acts as Baek Dosik, a 24-year detective veteran. The character, Park Minho (Choi Woosik) a new comer to the investigating world came along after impressing Prof. Yeo Jihoon with his physiological reasoning powers.
This drama has the VP elements in it. Anyway, both Hero and TEN are dramas from OCN, together with VP, so you can see a bit of the similarities between the dramas.
CAN LOVE BECOME MONEY
Our vampire prosecutor had trade his fangs and blue eyes for expensive coats and two girls. Well, not for long until we'll see him again in VP2.
Yeon Junghoon (the actor of Vampire Prosecutor, Min Taeyeon) is in CLBM as Ma Intak, a CEO who cares about money, money and nothing but $$$. He considers that everything that looks like $$$ is the most important thing in life. Ma Intak later found himself in the center of a conspiracy due to his obsession with money and later (finally) found out that there are things that are worth more than $$$.
This time, it's not OCN, but MBN. For those who have watched The Woman Who Still Wants to Marrry, you'll find Wang Bitna and Uhm Jiwon in this drama.
So people, if you love the touch of Midas and/or Salaryman, this should be in your list now.
SHUT UP FLOWER BOYBAND
If you love dramas like Dream High or dream to watch something teensy a bit, Shut Up Flower Boyband would be it.
It revolves around five high school boys who forms a rock band. All five of them have deep passion for music, yet dealing with friendship and love and etc will come in between.
Fans of Infinite's Myungsoo (or known as the single-letter boy L) you ought to watch this. Feed the flower boy aura and yeah, they're all cute and hot!
NANDITO AKO
In English, 'nandito ako' means here I am. In this Tangalo drama, fans of David Archie will see him acting as Josh Bradley, a singer, who when at the tender age of 6 got separated with his mom during a fire occurred in a hotel. Born in Philippines and was bred in the US, he grow up and become a singer later returns to Philippines and found that his mom, Cara, had died in the fire tragedy that happened when he was six. Josh later found out from his mom's friend that she was alive so, yeah, shocking things happens all the time.
For all the trailers, you can search it on YouTube and so I hope these little infos would suffice for now.
It's 4:37AM and I'll be back maybe tomorrow or the day after, and I'll try hard to list my bias and mention about my sudden fangirlness towards Infinite.

I just realized that I missed TOO much!
P/S: Most pictures posted here aren't mine, but there are mine also, too. I won't credit mine, but for, Saku-kun's, Yeon Junghoon's and the cast of VP, I credited at the very last picture. :)
Firstly, school.
You know how much Iloved hated school, no? School's starting in two weeks more and I'm feeling sad to leave K.L again, but this time with few ultimate missions and to make it back to K.L after I'm done with my Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia, or popularly known as SPM. Speaking of SPM, of course I am very scared because I see no much time. SPM is going to be around November next year and I'm going to be under real hiatus mode; I can barely do anything but facing my school books. 2012 ain't gonna be nice with me.... ;;;;;A;;;;;
Secondly, Vampire Prosecutor.
Yesterday on December 18th, Vampire Prosecutor finally came to an end. It was awesome (I'm saying it was awesome, though I haven't watched the twelve [and final] episode yet, but I knew it was, since I've read the reviews on Dramabeans, mwahahahahaha!!! And to watch the episode click 'here') plus, my Junghoon-oppa looked extremely hot for reasons that I can't even comprehend!

Secondly, Vampire Prosecutor.

It was awesome (I'm saying it was awesome, though I haven't watched the twelve [and final] episode yet, but I knew it was, since I've read the reviews on Dramabeans, mwahahahahaha!!! And to watch the episode click 'here') plus, my Junghoon-oppa looked extremely hot for reasons that I can't even comprehend!
He's cute, he's funny and he can be serious. That's Mr. Versatility, Yeon Junghoon. [CR: Owners and very few are mine]
The VP Family is LOVE! [CR: Owner's not mine]
The awkward couple, JungYeon (Jungin and Taeyeon)... [CR: Owner's not mine]
I want Vampire Prosecutor will have its second season. I mean, even if the final episode ended just nicely, I really want to beg the PD and writers and even the casts (I really hope they're reading this, though I know, they won't) we international fans of Vampire Prosecutor enjoyed this drama to the fullest. It was an awesome drama and every episode surprised us with new twist and the ideas of a prosecutor who was a vamp is very new and daring.
If they fail to write, hire me, hire me! I can write the script, I can even write a book out of this cool drama. If you don't want to hire me as VP's scriptwriter, Mr./Mrs. Writers, start writing now. Chop, chop!
Thirdly, Sakurai Sho.
Before I knew who-is-who in Arashi (like how I was like with Super Junior at the first stages) I found Ninomiya Kazunari is 'The Bias' for me. (P/S: Mine in SuJu was Kyuhyun for the official, and the unofficial was Ryeowook). Never mind that. Well, nowadays, I found Saku-chan way better looking and furthermore, he's a genius to be compared to most of the members. And another thing, Saku-chan is responsible with the raps, and I rap too (LOL, technically, since I can actually rap...) so now I think Saku-chan is THE BIAS for me. *cue to smile like a mad person* I'm watching Nazotoki wa Dinner no Ato de (Problem Solving After Dinner), by the way. =P Saku-chan's in it.
Here is Sakurai, my latest stan in Arashi. :) [CR: Owners, not are mine]
Fourthly, being belong to the Sapphire Blue family.
I love my Sapphire Blue family like hell! You guys just keep me going and going and going. We 'shared the same blood', right? ;D
I'm just wondering, when can I go to SS4; Malaysia or Singapore. Yes, apart from SPM, these concerts are going to be held in the year of 2012, which is an important year to me.
I really want to be a part of the Sapphire Blue ocean once again, that's all I want. Am I asking much?
I really am desperate to be a part of this big scale Sapphire Blue again. :'( [CR: Owner's not mine]
Fifth, Jaoker Junhyung's brithday.
Whee!! Happy Belated Birthday to my sixth favourite rapper! Junhyung's turning 21 (or 22 in Korean age) so I hope to see him smile and laugh like hell and nag like a granny again! xD
Birthday Boy!! ^^ [CR: Onwer's not mine]
Sixth, curious case of Eunhyuk's hair.
I think most of you guys have known about this, and... I really am sad that he actually cut his hair and colored it into... Brown, I think? Is it? :\
NOW! [CR: Owner's not mine]
The BEST color that lasted only a few months, sadly... :\
Versus with the hairstyle he used for a year or two. [CR: Owner's not mine]
Seventh, Oppa, Oppa!!!
OMG, can you believe it? Oppa Oppa is actually a digital single! Below's the official video of Oppa Oppa by the EunHae!
Oppa Oppa MV, it could've been a way better. :\ [CR: SM Town, Super Junior]

Eighth, Skip Beat! aka Extravagant Challenge, with SiHae as the male leads.
I'm happy to announce that Skip Beat! or Extravagant Challenge (the Taiwanese title) is now airing. You can always watch it on Youtube, as for now, and you can also check Dramacrazy.
The bad news is, SiHae's voices were dubbed.
I'm still wondering why, but I just assume that maybe the director weren't satisfied of their Mandarin. Are they not good for you, Mr. PD? You must know that SiHae worked hard on the drama, but you took something that is very important that is their own voices. I'm not happy with it, to be honest, but what can we do? - it's airing already. :\
Donghae and Siwon at Extravagant Challenge meet. [CR: Owner's not mine]
I guess, that's the end of it. I'm tired also! I'll leave you with a picture and the latest video by Super Junior (feat the SM Town Family). :) Good night and Happy Holidays!

Greetings!
Oh yes, I have ditch you out in the cold. Sorry 'bout that.
And December Greetings! We've left November and now, please, December, be good, thanks!
I actually haven't have much mood to update here, because I'm bored and I was quite busy with nothing. I mean, seriously, nothing at all.
For weeks, I've been lamenting over everything, examples are like, I was bored, I'm too lazy to update this and that... And certainly, there's many more.
And to be honest, I am lazy right now too! But now. I'll try to recap everything.
I went to Kinokuniya and bought two mangas and a Japanese Kana book to practice. I'm too fond in learning Japanese and also Korean (for sure!) and I don't really like going to Mandarin classes, since I don't see the need of me learning that language. But, oh well! What can I do, really, except for dragging myself out of bed and go to Mandarin class!
MAMA 2011 (or M.Net's Asian Music Awards 2011) which was held on the 29th of November in Singapore was exciting and was also a let down. I wasn't happy at all and feeling to rage at other Soshi (another name of SNSD's Sone, which, I don't really like them either like their primer) and MAMA literally changed the ranks too soon! I mean, we voted Super Junior for the Artist of the Year award and Song of the Year award, but Super Junior (who was in TOP 5) wasn't even nominated for AotY award! Most were like, what the hell?! but then, we knew who's job was that.
I don't really mind 2NE1 won the Song of the Year award (Blackjack here!) and I'm still feeling quite not right for most of it. :\
BUT ANYHOW! Super Junior did own the stage with their remix of Superman, Mr. Simple and Sorry Sorry. The mix's called Mr. Simple Clone - as Eunhyuk's the clone. Haha.
I watched G no Arashi (cheerleading episode) and found that Ohno-kun and Nino-kun were cheerleaders from the inside! I mean, as I practised gymnastic since I was a kid (and yes, of course I stopped later), I can't even do the jump properly anymore! Probably my age and body size actually had affected that (and when was the last time I did a split, really?!) but seriously, Ohno-kun and Nino-kun were no kids, man, they were awesome! (I mean, kid -> kidding.).
Getting number 9 in class actually made myself a good impression... for only in the matter of seconds. My brothers who was much worse in school will get themselves a laptop. I seriously don't understand what kind of difference would it make if I get worse than nine. I would probably get nothing, either.
And BTW! Beast's Hyunseung and 4Minute's Hyuna came forward with a sub-group called Trouble Maker with their song was also called Trouble Maker. The MV was awesome (sexy awesome... sexy awesome.... sexy awesome....) and I was literally glued to the whistle! It's a must-listen. And do not hate Hyuna for having a some hot scenes with Hyunseung (just overly sexy, really)! Just enjoy the song. :)
And... Eunhyuk'll appear in Ryeowook's cousin's group MV. He, as the hero in the MV will have to kiss the girl on the lips and kneel and cry for here. It was hoping that he'd kiss me, kneel and cry for me, but it was for another girl. Yes, that sounds pretty weird, but still, Super Junior Eunhyuk was kissing another girl is extremely too heartbreaking. I just hope it was me who he'd kiss. Haha.
Vampire Prosecutor will come to an end in two weeks! This week will be the 10th episode of Vampire Prosecutor (with 12 episodes in total), and I'm quite sad, because it was very unique, sexy, addicting and alluring. Besides, Prosecutor Min doesn't sparkle and he actually can stand under the bright sunlight! He has that cute blue-vampiric eyes and four pointy fangs... And Detective Hwang and apprentice Cho is also cute! OMG, did I just say Lee Wonjong cute?! XD
But I personally think that Lee Youngah's expression's too funny and sometimes needs to be fixed. :p
I watched Happy Together with the four main Vampire Prosecutor casts (unfortunately Kim Jooyoung wasn't included; I'm feeling so sad for Cho Dongman!) and to see Yoon Junghoon being all wet because of a slight mistake during the tongue twister game was funny! And BTW, aren't vampires were supposed to be perfect? *cue to laugh my ass off!*
I was watching Maou with Ohno-kun and Ikuta-kun. It's more like investigating and revenge... Well, can you believe it? Ohno-chan, that cute and innocent Riida can actually be an evil person and Ikuta-kun who's usually very funny could actually become a 'depressed victim' of Ohno. I suggest you to watch this also.
I feel like I betrayed Eunhyuk for... Prince Manager Kim Junghoon (Super Junior's manager)! I was literally sorry for Eunhyuk, but Prince Manager is certainly good looking! I could've compared him to Siwon, and OMG, thank God I didn't!
I guess........ That's all for the recaps? I will update some more later, I promise! =)

Well if you wanna bash me because I've written many things and posted them online (it's either you know/have seen them or not...) BASH ME ANYTIME KAY?! XD
And I actually love Yesung's quote (from the acceptance speech).
" When I was in elementary school and whenever there was a popularity vote, I was the not popular one.. but I am really glad and happy that we received the popularity award today. Thank you and i love you ELF! "
Congrats oppa!

Pieces of You by Tablo
I'm not giving any reviews yet for this book because I'm still searching for it. (With help and reference from Wiki)
Who's Tablo?
Tablo's a South Korean singer (hip hop, not those dance-y ones) whose English name is Daniel Armand Lee. He's a Stamford University graduate in English Literature and Creative Writing. He met Mithra Jin, originally a poet and they became good friends because their views for music and also writings.
So basically, Tablo had written Pieces of You (which was written originally in English and later, Tablo himself translated it in Korean) when he was still in Stamford around 1998-2001. Pieces of You has ten short stories: Andante, Counting Pulses, Break, The Rat, Matchbox, A Glass of Victory, The Walls of Our Worlds, Hate Crime, Coup de Grace and Strawberry Fields Forever.
The Korean version of Pieces of You was released three months earlier than the English version and both versions of the book were best-sellers as well.
The latter claims that the setting of New York City didn't much, so he added some element of fiction in his stories.
About.
Andante: it is about the conflict between the father and the son. The son is greatly influenced by his father who is a prominent pianist, and he eventually follows the identical path as his father. Upon watching his father confront Alzheimers, he becomes more worried about his life and his family. In the end, the son becomes hopeful when his father keeps asking what song he can hear while his father's recorded version of Fur Elise is being played, and the son realizes that he can hear his father's breathing within his music.
Counting Pulses: it is a story about the son and his mother. The son is always conscious about taking care of his sick mother who needs his care even when she is in need of taking medicine. At one night, the son brings his friend to his house and they start smoking weed while the mother is in sleep. Due to excessive inhalation, the son starts suffering from a respiratory problem resulting him into a critical situation.
Break: it is a short story compared to his other stories which is about the teacher who takes a break from his students. During this short break, he starts feeling overwhelming pain; here the word "break" literally means a break which he has now, but it can also mean the life and the condition that he is in, which breaks him.
The Rat: this is a story where the casting director of a movie with nude scenes invites the main actress to his house. As he invites the cast to his house, he notices that there is a big rat staying in his bedroom. He becomes paranoid of the fact that there is a big rat in his bedroom which it reminds him of the girl.
Matchbox: it is a story about the son who starts smoking due to his father who is a chain-smoker. He starts smoking when he is six and he quits smoking at the age of twenty-five when he realizes how horrible cigarettes are for his health.
A Glass of Victory: it is a story about the conflict between two friends. The main character attends the high school reunion where he meets his rival during the students' president election. He is ridiculed and disgusted by the resemblance of his friend and his son. Suddenly, he recalls the high school student's president election, where he lost to him by a little, but the difference in votes has never been revealed. After he meets the janitor from high school accidentally, he hears from him that there were some votes thrown out inside the garbage. He realizes how his rival cheated on the election, and he goes up to him and punches his face, but he loses miserably in fight again.
The Walls of Our World: this story explores the internal, almost insuppressible lust within all humankind, regardless of the masks of occupation, status, and position in the social hierarchy.
Hate Crime: it is a story about the Asian identity as seen by Caucasian culture. The story comments on the lack of differentiation, and ignorance towards the different ethnicities within the US-Asian population.
Coup de Grace: this story portrays how a cowardly father ironically forces his son to become a strong and brave person. By creating himself into a completely different person, he doesn’t only deceive himself but he also deceives even his family members. In the end, the coward turns out to be not his son but himself.
Strawberry Fields Forever: this story portrays the fast-paced nature of our life, for instance, how things bypass us so quickly that we sometimes forget to appreciate their value.
In every story that Tablo had written, the theme was identical - overwhelming loneliness, and depression and most issues were sensitive - drug abuse, peer pressure, materialism and many more.
Fans prefers Andante and Break for their favourite short story and Andante was also praised by Tobias Wolff, a well-known author. Lee Byungryul, a well-known poet, praises Tablo's writing saying, “It reminds me of his panic-state of his youth which is difficult to hold up regardless of many effortless trials, and throughout this book, I felt that I became aware of his profound inner mind as well.”
**************
So, after searching through the Net, I stumbled upon some reviews of Tablo's Pieces of You and all the reviews that I read were praises, saying the writings are beautiful, sad and angelic. I grew curious.
The book is very hard to get in Malaysia, so a friends suggest that I buy it from YesAsia. I would if I could, but would my parents want to buy me Pieces of You? Would my aunt or uncle - if you'd like to include - would be generous enough to buy me the book? Yes, I don't deny that my aunt and uncle had bought me a lot of things, but buying something that would take a very long process wouldn't make a good idea also.
I will try to talk to my parents first about this book, and I wish to get my hands on it as soon as possible so I can review it. Wish me all the best!
Who's Tablo?
Tablo's a South Korean singer (hip hop, not those dance-y ones) whose English name is Daniel Armand Lee. He's a Stamford University graduate in English Literature and Creative Writing. He met Mithra Jin, originally a poet and they became good friends because their views for music and also writings.
So basically, Tablo had written Pieces of You (which was written originally in English and later, Tablo himself translated it in Korean) when he was still in Stamford around 1998-2001. Pieces of You has ten short stories: Andante, Counting Pulses, Break, The Rat, Matchbox, A Glass of Victory, The Walls of Our Worlds, Hate Crime, Coup de Grace and Strawberry Fields Forever.
The Korean version of Pieces of You was released three months earlier than the English version and both versions of the book were best-sellers as well.
The latter claims that the setting of New York City didn't much, so he added some element of fiction in his stories.
About.
Andante: it is about the conflict between the father and the son. The son is greatly influenced by his father who is a prominent pianist, and he eventually follows the identical path as his father. Upon watching his father confront Alzheimers, he becomes more worried about his life and his family. In the end, the son becomes hopeful when his father keeps asking what song he can hear while his father's recorded version of Fur Elise is being played, and the son realizes that he can hear his father's breathing within his music.
Counting Pulses: it is a story about the son and his mother. The son is always conscious about taking care of his sick mother who needs his care even when she is in need of taking medicine. At one night, the son brings his friend to his house and they start smoking weed while the mother is in sleep. Due to excessive inhalation, the son starts suffering from a respiratory problem resulting him into a critical situation.
Break: it is a short story compared to his other stories which is about the teacher who takes a break from his students. During this short break, he starts feeling overwhelming pain; here the word "break" literally means a break which he has now, but it can also mean the life and the condition that he is in, which breaks him.
The Rat: this is a story where the casting director of a movie with nude scenes invites the main actress to his house. As he invites the cast to his house, he notices that there is a big rat staying in his bedroom. He becomes paranoid of the fact that there is a big rat in his bedroom which it reminds him of the girl.
Matchbox: it is a story about the son who starts smoking due to his father who is a chain-smoker. He starts smoking when he is six and he quits smoking at the age of twenty-five when he realizes how horrible cigarettes are for his health.
A Glass of Victory: it is a story about the conflict between two friends. The main character attends the high school reunion where he meets his rival during the students' president election. He is ridiculed and disgusted by the resemblance of his friend and his son. Suddenly, he recalls the high school student's president election, where he lost to him by a little, but the difference in votes has never been revealed. After he meets the janitor from high school accidentally, he hears from him that there were some votes thrown out inside the garbage. He realizes how his rival cheated on the election, and he goes up to him and punches his face, but he loses miserably in fight again.
The Walls of Our World: this story explores the internal, almost insuppressible lust within all humankind, regardless of the masks of occupation, status, and position in the social hierarchy.
Hate Crime: it is a story about the Asian identity as seen by Caucasian culture. The story comments on the lack of differentiation, and ignorance towards the different ethnicities within the US-Asian population.
Coup de Grace: this story portrays how a cowardly father ironically forces his son to become a strong and brave person. By creating himself into a completely different person, he doesn’t only deceive himself but he also deceives even his family members. In the end, the coward turns out to be not his son but himself.
Strawberry Fields Forever: this story portrays the fast-paced nature of our life, for instance, how things bypass us so quickly that we sometimes forget to appreciate their value.
In every story that Tablo had written, the theme was identical - overwhelming loneliness, and depression and most issues were sensitive - drug abuse, peer pressure, materialism and many more.
Fans prefers Andante and Break for their favourite short story and Andante was also praised by Tobias Wolff, a well-known author. Lee Byungryul, a well-known poet, praises Tablo's writing saying, “It reminds me of his panic-state of his youth which is difficult to hold up regardless of many effortless trials, and throughout this book, I felt that I became aware of his profound inner mind as well.”
**************
So, after searching through the Net, I stumbled upon some reviews of Tablo's Pieces of You and all the reviews that I read were praises, saying the writings are beautiful, sad and angelic. I grew curious.
The book is very hard to get in Malaysia, so a friends suggest that I buy it from YesAsia. I would if I could, but would my parents want to buy me Pieces of You? Would my aunt or uncle - if you'd like to include - would be generous enough to buy me the book? Yes, I don't deny that my aunt and uncle had bought me a lot of things, but buying something that would take a very long process wouldn't make a good idea also.
I will try to talk to my parents first about this book, and I wish to get my hands on it as soon as possible so I can review it. Wish me all the best!
