Who Let You Go.

A treat for Pat: Kyu Jong from SS501 (i think that's how his name is spelt...) acting in some lady singer's video

A treat for me: Jaebeom!!! Swoon-a-riffic!

Okay, that's enough for now ;)

Where The White Boys Dance.

So it seems I'm not the only K-pop crazy person I know! Haha There's this song that I've been listening to Again and Again, by 2PM. Seriously, I always seem to fall hardest for bands that I'm not initially impressed with.

Case in point: Tokio Hotel. I laughed when i first saw their music video for Ready, Set, Go, but my sister slowly pulled me into liking them (and God forbid, even their songs). That train's come and gone though, because I seem to get over things really fast haha.

And now my attention has turned to 2PM! I actually thought they couldn't sing, when I heard their first single called 10 Out Of 10, but their new song's really addictive. Watch them on Idol Army on youtube - they are seriously one group of cute, really funny guys. 2 AM too! (2AM+2PM = One Day. Seriously! They're branches of the same group. 2AM sing ballads, while 2PM are more performance-centric)

From left: Chansung, Wooyoung, Junsu, Jaebeom, Junho, Nichkhun and Taecyeon.

2PM's leader is Jaebeom, who's actually from Seattle, and he's an '87 baby. He kinda looks like Jokwon, the leader of 2AM, although he's not as fruity as him. He has such a fun sense of humour, and at 174cm he's the shortest of the group, poor baby (Junho and Wooyoung are 178cm, Junsu is 180cm, Nichkhun is 181cm, Chansung's 182cm, and Taecyeon towers over all at 185cm How can anyone not look short?). Obviously he's my favourite of the group, even when he's cocky at times, because he is cocky-funny. And he is so frickin' sexy! His upper body is so fiiinnneee... Haha. He's by far the best dancer of the group, and although he falls flat a little when singing, he does vocal runs quite nicely. =D

Jaebeom <3

I suppose besides Jaebeom, my second favourite is Wooyoung, who's an '89 baby. He's so cute and funny (Okay, they're ALL funny), and crazy! There was one episode of Idol Army where he had to fulfill a mission: To go out onto a street alone, get food for free, and get recognised. Woyoung doesn't really have the star appeal of Jae and Nichkhun, so he wasn't recognised by anyone and had to beg for the food. And he was so funny, acting like he was whining and stamping his feet. Cute! He makes the funniest comments, and likes saying "Oh My God!" when something shocking happens. Chances are he learned that from Jae, Nichkhun or Taec...

Wooyoung

Junho's a '90 baby, and he looks like Rain. I think he has a much more controlled voice than both Jaebeom and Junsu, and he's one of the better dancers of the group. Unfortunately, in Idol Army, he's rejected by almost ever single girl/ guy group, poor guy. But he has a good humour about that. And he has random outbursts of English, which some Netizens have commented sounds like he's imitating Rain's English.

Junho

Chansung's the maknae (baby/ youngest) of the group, a Feb '90 baby, but he somehow looks the oldest haha. His 182 frame certainly does contribute to that image. He looks macho-est, but he's realy goofy, and loves to eat aLOT. He looks a lot better since he's cut his long hair, and he's my sister's fave 2PM member. Always bullied by the guys haha.

Chansung

Taecyeon is the tallest, and is from Boston, which he moved to when very young. Born in 1988. He looks like my brother when he smiles with the large teeth he has, which is a little disconcerting for me. Darn that brother of mine, because I really like Taecyeon. He raps, along with Chansung.

Taecyeon

Nichkhun's born Thai, but LA bred. His Mum's Chinese, while his dad is Thai, but with brown hair he looks somewhat Eurasian. With black hair though, he looks more Asian. Like Taec, he was born 1988. He's considered the cutest of the group, with a baby face and smiley eyes and baby-buttock skin (haha). He is a girl magnet, and the arguably the most recognised member of the group. Remember the Idol Army mission that I talked about? Everyone else wasn't recognised at all (since they debuted just last year), Jaebeom was recognised after maybe 7 minutes, and Taecyeon didn't take part. All Nichkhun had to do was step out of the bus, and in 3 seconds girls came running towards him! Wooyoung had to plead for food, and Jaebeom had to sing for a discount, but Nichkhun automatical got two free pieces from the aunty because he's "so beautiful!". How unfair is that? Haha He's near the bottom cos even though he's cute and funny, I don't think he dances or sings particularly well.

Nichkhun

Junsu's (child of '88) face I didn't like as soon as I first saw their music video, but watching Idol Army, he's growing on me. The boys tease him alot because they say his head is so big haha, and he's probably the least attractive of the boys, but he's funny. And his face was so funny in the SHINee (another Korean boyband) episode of Idol Army, when he was blowing the ping pong ball. He's considered the best singer of the group, but he sometimes lacks control and goes flat or sharp sometimes in ballads. But he seems like a nice guy.

Junsu

So that's a 2PM intro. I love them! More bands probably coming up. Maybe I'll do 2Am next.=)

We're all used to seeing Sylar as the bad guy right? I mean, Zachary Quinto seems to portray the evillest sexiest bad guy that I've ever seen on television. And he did play another evil warlock on Charmed ages ago (which is hilarious because he was so totally pwned by a group of cats that swarmed over him). As it turns out though, that's not all that's on Sylar's repertoire. I found out he's played good guys too! This shouldn't have been a surprise considering that Zachary is an actor, i.e. he is supposed to be able to act "good" as well. But I'm so used to Sylar the evil guy that it's amazing when Zachary plays nice!

Take for example, an episode in Crossing Jordan, wherein he plays this guy who finds out his parents weren't his biological ones. He was innocent in that one.

How about that episode of Touched By An Angel where he plays a loving son who's trying to find his missing dad. Cue the "Awwws!" Did I mention that he actually trimmed his eyebrows in this episode?

But the best "good" character he's played has to be that of "God" itself, in Joan Of Arcadia where he was one of the so-called "personas" through which God spoke to Joan. Kinda weird.

Something that's probably totally unexpected is Sylar as a gay director, in Lizzie Maguire. He's so funny! And he gets scolded by LIzzie's younger brother, too.


Good guy Sylar won't be too uncommon though, because Zachary's the new Mr. Spock on the new Star Trek movie! Sure he'll look alien-ugly, but he's still Sylar... right?

Zachary Quinto/ Sylar/ Spock

I did do something today, other than watch/ read up on Sylar. My cousins returned to Melbourne today... in the middle of a heatwave. God bless them. We sent them off at the airport, and decided to get some chow at 10.45 at Popeye's (yum!) before taking #858 back to Woodlands. And now I'm here at 4 am after watching tennis and American Idol and shizz.

Good night ya'll.
And good luck to Borge and Keed who are already in army! Haha.

hahah just so a-frickkin'-dor-able heehee XD

do u see now the appeal of po?
hahah

ok, so this week is one that i'm hoping will be relaxed...
monday holiday, friday college day,
and all i need is for wednesday and thursday to be relaxed
*please, can you grant me this one+++(in case i have more) wish?*

i got a keychain from liepzig
yay!! exactly what i wanted
even if he (bro) deigned to buy me only one thing
and nothing else,
i'd still hope for it to be a keychain, to add to my collection
and i got it! (possibly to make up for the other keychain-less trips to dusseldorf and guangzhou)
hehe

and of course the customary chocolates he always buys
and cookies! heavenly, 40% choc chip, cookies!!
and pencil cases, and a handbag for Mama
and lots of pics and videos
okay, this is one trip i'm happy with :)

met up with syaz after econs paper last thursday
caught up on old times
it's been a while since i've looked at the sky during the day
the only times i remember that vast canvas of wondrous colours domed over our heads
is at night
so here's a picture of that sky
but it's not that nice
except for the contrast between the darker and lighter clouds

monday was shopping day - hari-raya-shopping-for-fabrics day!
went to that building on bencoolen street with the huge OG sign
wasn't impressed
walked to bugis, and the street shops there blew me away
can't wait to revisit
:)

then went to arab street to look for fabrics
found one italian designer silk
huge flowers-looking-like-butterflies
psychedelic shades of blue, pink and yellow
hehe
might be too big to look nice as baju kurung, but i really loved the colours!
went to countless stores
bought that "kotak-kotak" (checkered) kind, from kashmir
lavender/gray/cream, paired with a plain cream kind of fabric
walked around some more before sis finally found something she liked
and the nice shopkeepers were so persuasive,
that from not wanting to buy any for herself,
that my mom ended up buying two different fabrics
talk about good salesmanship
hahah

and finally, today, looked at some perasan-cute/sexy girl's blog
eww, her pic on her blog's page was so... flat
and i do crudely mean the boobage area
totally went "ugghh" at her pics and posts
makes me wonder why i even bother visiting that blog...
oh yeah! to gawk and laugh at this kind of person
hahah so mean
i remember leaving a sarcastic comment, don't think she let it be posted though
don't wanna say it here
too bitchy... hehe

ok then
*sings* "it ends tonight" for now...
good night, sleep tight, and no, i don't think there are bedbugs
(they existed in them long ago non-springs mattresses, so no worries about bites :])
