It's finally here! THE day has arrived! What's all the fuss about the 27th of April, you ask? It is the BIRTHDAY of our very own (MAIN) blogger, SJ! It is the time to celebrate our hardworking blogger who continuously updates the blog with contents that interest you while having to bear with me - the phantom blogger.
First and foremost,HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my baby sister! Although I really don't think you're anything close to a baby sister considering you're taller and you bully me around =P
I might not be able to be in person to celebrate with you, but you do know I'm there in spirit =D Thank you very much for always being there through the ups and downs, highs and lows, good and bad...you get the idea ;) As great as a sister you have been to me, always remember that I am ever ready to be here for you. Well, provided I'm not sleeping due to the time difference but that's another case =P
Just to let you know what you mean to me, here goes :
S- Someone who would spend the time to hear me out, no matter when
I- Insists on something even when I disagree, because it's the best for me
S- Stays up at night with me (in spirit) to help me study for exams ;)
T- Tells me off as and when you like - how did that happen again?!?!
E- Entertains me with lame jokes that only we seem to get
R- Rummages through the fridge with me especially during exam
Seriously, as if the original track of Big Bang's songs aren't mind-blowing enough, YG Entertainment decided to release acapella versions of Stupid Liar, Love Song and Baby Don't Cry. *dies*
It's really refreshing to hear their crystal clear voices and there's no doubt that these boys can sing! I've read so many positive feedbacks and comments on how impressed VIPs were when they heard the members singing without the background music. Everything that Big Bang does appeal to me and here's just another example that enforces my love towards Big Bang.
TOP's voice when he raps is soooo sexay and GD has the most original vocals I've ever heard. Both their voices are extremely significant, you can NEVER miss it. Then comes Taeyang, Seungri and Daesung's sweet vocals that wraps the whole song into a warm bun and it goes straight into your mouth. When it finally settles in your stomach, it's already too late as you're addicted to the taste and you realize that you're unconsciously picking up your next bun! WAIT! WARM BUN? WHAT? DID I JUST SAY THAT?
Anywayyyyyy, without further ado, I present you, fantastic acapellas!
Listening to Stupid Liar, you'll realize that most of the background sounds actually come from them and not the music! (Even all the howling sounds!) They sound great and it doesn't matter whether this song is accompanied by music or not, you can't help but bop to the song as it's being played.
Seriously, TOP's voice at the start totally melted my heart. How can a voice that deep and husky be so sexy? SERIOUSLY! Then comes Daesung's voice which makes you go ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. And GD's voice which makes you go ooooohhhhhhhhhhh. And Taeyang and Seungri's voice which made me go....YOU GET THE DRILL!
Everyone knows that Daesung is one of the main vocals in the group but honestly, he's still so underrated! For the first 20 seconds, I was like, whaaaaaaaaaaaatttt but my goosebumps appeared out of no where as I heard Daesung's voice serenading me starting from the 21st second. He possesses such a calm and gentle yet powerful voice that never fails to amaze me. The most important point that I would like to emphasize is that every time Daesung sings, I can really feel his sincerity.<3
After all the hype about Park Bom's new solo song, Don't Cry, the music video was just released a few days ago and I waited till there was an English subbed video before posting it up here. (I know, I know, I'm so nice)HEEEE :D
I know that the song's about her lost love but is the guy dead? The lines "Someday, we'll meet again. In our next life, we will see each other again". That shows that he's gone, right? RIGHT?! Ahahaha. I read a lot of comments about how Park Bom looks awkward and stiff in the music video and although I love her, I'd have to agree too. I'm not gonna go into the topic of plastic surgery and all that stuff but honestly, the music video would have been better if she expressed it a little more.
#NOT HATIN', JUST SAYIN'
But the main point why we love Park Bom so much is because of her vocals so we should just concentrate on the beauty of the song. The mixture of House beats doesn't do justice to her fantastic vocals but I'm already addicted to this song as it's on constant replay in my playlist :D
IT'S FINALLY HERE! IT'S BACK AT OUR SHORES AND READY TO SWEEP US OFF OUR FEET ONCE AGAIN!
If you guys have checked out last year's blog post on Hennessy Artistry posted by PJ and liked what you saw, be prepared for more mind-blowing coverage as I will be attending the country's most talked about party, H-Artistry "The Global Art of Mixing" this year. To those of you who have no clue on what Hennessy Artistry is all about, let's just say that you can expectrocking music, tantalizing Hennessy V.S.O.P signature long drinks, a wild crowd and most importantly, it's a night for you to let loose.
I mean, seriously, I don't know if it's just me but college is becoming so stressful these days, I'm barely surviving. Is everyone feeling that way or did April's fool depart a little earlier than expected? It must be the upcoming mocks and examinations that's driving me up the wall. Well, at least now I have the Hennessy Artistry on the 30th of April to close this "depressing" month with a BANG!
Not only that, party-goers coming into the party this year will receive a new radio-frequency identification (RFID) wristband that allows them to log on to their respective Facebook accounts and automatically post their activities as status updates whenever they scan their wristbands onto a RFID reader located at each Hennessy Mixing booth. Talk about technology taking over this superb clubbing experience! It just enhances this event further and brings it up to a level high above the rest. I can't wait to get my hands on one!
Still not excited about Hennessy Artistry 2011? Take a look at their tantalizing V.S.O.P long drinks that come in 4 delicious flavors.
Hennessy Apple, Hennessy Berry, Hennessy Ginger as well as Hennessy Citrus.
If you still need more evidence as to how BIG this event is gonna be, here's a photograph taken from last year's Hennessy Artistry.
Yup, the crowd was huge and it's going to be the same this year. If not better :D
ALOHA!
If you guys have read my previous post, watched GD's cuts on Olleh Big Bang TV and wanted the REST of the cuts, your wish has been granted. The full cuts are out WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES! I am once again VERY proud to be a VIP seeing how much effort is put into Big Bang's Big Show. They're such amazing artists and honestly, don't they get tired? I WANNA GO FOR BIG SHOWWWW! T_T
ENJOY! :D
SEUNGRI'S CUTS
TOP'S CUTS
And a BONUS for ALL VIPS! Big Bang's best 'Stupid Liar' performance so far! :D
I love how energetic they all look in this performance and GD has sexyyy arms! *drools* Not gonna comment on the pants though :p
I'm sure you guys have realized the NUMEROUS posts dedicated to Big Bang's comeback and random updates on their activities. In case you're puzzled as to why I've taken such interest in this k-pop group or why I'm giving them my personal preference, first, please watch the video attached below.
As you can tell from the video, G-dragon (leader of Big Bang) is SUCH a respectable man. Not only is he the leader of this spectacular group, he is also a lyricist, a producer, a composer and on top of that, he is a member who gives his best whenever he's on stage. The best part is that he puts his all into his work and makes it fun for all VIPs around the world to watch Big Bang. While doing all that, he has a big smile on his face. How can ANYONE not respect this man with multiple talents? It's safe for me to say that GD and Teddy are the brains behind every album they have produced. I mean, honestly, can you say the same for other groups out there?
HERE'S GD'S G-MARKET CM SONG. I love this song! (and GD :p)
As for TOP who has the most significant voice I've ever heard, contributes to albums by writing his own lyrics to rap parts that he's in charge of. Although as many of you have already seen his famous 'ChoomTop' video, his dancing skills may not be of Taeyang's standards but you can tell how hard he has worked to be in sync with the whole group. Did I also mention that he's not only a singer but an actor as well? He hopes to show the audience/ fans a different side of him and wants to earn respect and love from us. (He has mine, definitely! <3) He may be a gentle giant (since he's 180 cm tall) who looks a little awkward at times but his efforts are definitely commendable and truly, how can you not love a manly face like his? :D
CHOOM TOP VIDEO FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN'T SEEN IT! :)
(I seriously can't stop laughing! HELPPP!)
To erase that from your head, here's TOP'S solo- TURN IT UP (ENG SUB)
Taeyang, taeyang, taeyang. The main vocals of the group. His sweet voice functions as a glue for the whole group. When his voice is added to any song, it compliments the other members and makes the track THAT MUCH BETTER to listen to. Not only that, Taeyang's dancing skills are not to be made fun of as he is such an awesome dancer. His body (full of muscles) is proof to how hard he has worked and that he's a health freak too (not that that's bad though). Taeyang's personality might be shy but behind that shy smile lies a man that's always striving for the best in everything that he does.
SEXYYYY TAEYANG FOR YAH! :D
Daesung, the group's clown! His bright personality serves as an energy booster to other members and his crazy actions make him so interesting to watch. If you've watched Family Outing before, you'd understand why I've said so. The Dorky Brothers (Jaesuk and Daesung), for the world! :D Although I've came across many harsh comments by netizens commenting on how Daesung doesn't have a face fit for idols, I would disagree with those comments. If a person's talents are overlooked just because he/ she does not possess the 'perfect face', doesn't that reflect very badly on the person who's passing on the judgement? Daesung may not be the best looking artist out there but his mellow voice and sincere heart when delivering songs are fantastic. You can't find this innocent man anywhere else other than in Big Bang.
DAESUNG- BABY DON'T CRY (ENG SUB)
Seungri, maknae of Big Bang has the capability to be adorable as well as sexy in front of the camera (remember Strong Baby?). In my opinion, Seungri might still be a little immature (personality wise) but he always puts his best foot forward when it comes to working. Besides that, it's very fun to watch his relationship with his hyungs as he admires them so much. It's nice to see him disturbing the other members, thus alleviating some stress off everyone's shoulders. There's definitely more room for improvement and he's just a little boy that's yet to grow up :)
SEUNGRI- STRONG BABY (ENG SUBBED)
And if you're STILL NOT infatuated with these talented men, here's a video about their collection cards from the 4.5 Repackaged Album with english subtitles and NG Cut. Gotta love this hilarious bunch!
That's all I have for today. It's quite a long post. And I hope you enjoyed every video posted up! If you're not already in love with the Big Bang boys, you should be shot! Teeeheeeee! Love you guys! <3
NAHHHH! That's not the kind of rubber that I'm going to talk about today. Have you ever realized that your car door is lined with rubber to secure the closure of your door and ensure that your drive is silent and peaceful? If you have, THAT'S the kind of rubber I'm talking about.
So today while I was on my way home with my brother from college, we were on the DUKE highway and suddenly we heard a tapping sound on the back of the window. We gave each other puzzled looks and glanced back to see a long linear rubber jutting out at the left side of the car. We were shocked and quickly stopped at the side of the road to inspect the situation. It turns out that this has happened before and my brother was trying to jam the rubber back into place (with not much luck, I may say) when SUDDENLY there was this motorcyclist that stopped in front of our car. To my surprise, he was wearing a DUKE jacket. I know I may be a little outdated but I have never seen these workers doing their rounds and helping out people with busted cars. However, since our car didn't run out of petrol or have a serious breakdown, we just waved at him and told him everything was alright, ripped the rubber out of the sides and chucked it into the car boot then drove off SAFELY. It just felt pretty cool to know that THERE ARE workers who go on rounds on the DUKE highway and if I were to give them a review, it would be a pretty nice piece ;D
Conclusion:DO NOT BUY MALAYSIAN CARS. DUKE HIGHWAY IS PRETTY COOL.
Another incident on the DUKE highway which I find pretty amusing was when we came across a police inspection on the opposite side of road. You know, kena cari makan, kan? Anyway, the speed limit for the DUKE highway is JUST 90 km per hour but by the looks of the oncoming cars, they were DEFINITELY exceeding the speed limit. What shocked me the most was that there were so many cars behind us (our car, included) who were flashing the oncoming cars continuously to forewarn them on what they're getting themselves into in a matter of seconds. I know that THIS TOO isn't something phenomenal to even be a topic to blog about but can you guys see the significance of this like how I do? Do you realize how united Malaysians are when it comes to avoiding police checks? It makes me get the feeling that our society is QUITEconsiderate and that we should appreciate this kind of act of kindness. NO, I'm not going to be preaching about 1Malaysia but as a Malaysian of the younger generation (or at least that's what I like to call myself), I actually want THE ADULTS to stop stereotyping and start seeing issues such as equality and living harmoniously in a better light.
Conclusion: START LIVING LIFE AND STOP POLITICAL FIGHTS!
Oh, and I even came across this chain post on facebook (you know, the kind that goes round and round and round with no end?) and I would like to share it with you guys :)
'A 15 year old girl holds her 1 year old son; people call her a slut. But no one knew she was raped at 13. Make fun of someone for being fat, but you don't know that person has a serious medical condition that causes her to be obese. Call the old guy ugly, but.. you don't know he got a serious face injury after serving the country or saving a life. Re-post this if you're against bullying and stereotyping.'
Doesn't this just reflect that TEENAGERS and the YOUNGER GENERATION have a mind of their own and are actually pretty mature? Yup, we're cool like that.
IT'S HERE! IT'S HERE! IT'S FINALLY HEREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Big Bang's Love Song music video has just been released and I'm loving the concept! It's very refreshing and the elegance from it's simplicity really captivates your attention. The little dance interval that they include in the music video is really cute too! ahahah. The shoot for this music video must have been complicated.
Therefore, enjoy every minute of Big Bang's hardwork below! :D
Oh, and a little treat that Seungri updated onto his me2day! :D
Aren't they just too cuuuuutteee? Childish BIG BANG, ftw! <3
Big Bang's first comeback performance! Yayyy! :D
I can't wait for Big Bang TV! Will update you guys when that comes out along with the Love Song MV!
ENJOY! ^^
After all those tormenting teasers of Big Bang's 'Love Song' and 'Stupid Liar', Y.G. Entertainment has finally released Big Bang's Special Edition album! *applause*
The songs are really catchy and lives up to the standard of Big Bang's self-written, self-composed, and self-produced sound and quality (mostly by G-dragon). You just can't help but appreciate the music they produce A TAD BIT MORE.(Okay, A LOTTTTT MORE. Happy?) One thing that I've noticed about Big Bang's music is that it grows on you over time. Like, seriously. After listening to it, you automatically start humming out the tune or part of the lyrics (even if the lyrics were just "I'm so stupiddd, I'm so stupiddd, I'm so stupiddd in loveeee~". Hehehhe. You know what I mean, VIPs! :D
Oh, and before I forget, Daesung's solo- Baby don't cry is superb. It showcases his awesome vocal abilities and captures the beautiful sadness and pain that Daesung expresses so VERY WELL through his singing. I applaud him for that :)
Okay, okay, without further adieu, may I present you with BIG BANG'S SPECIAL EP with lyrics! :D
(TOP) One woman is becoming distant Even though a man is still singing I’m tearing up at the thought of break up
(Daesung) I can’t touch you, I know yeah eh
I’m falling, catch me (hello)
(GD) I hate this love song… I hate this love song..
I hate this love song… I hate this love song.. x2
(Taeyang) I hate this love song, I’ll never sing it again
So I can stop thinking of you, so I can finally forget you
(Seungri) I hate this love song, I’m going to sing it with a smile
In order to cure your loneliness, I’m going to you now
ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh-hoo
(GD) I’m scared, this world is meaningless
Take me to where you are, a place with the moon and stars
(Daesung) We were so beautiful, you know
You taught me what love was, hello
(Taeyang) I hate this love song… I hate this love song..
I hate this love song… I hate this love song..
(GD) I hate this love song… I hate this love song..
I hate this love song… I hate this love song..
(Taeyang) I hate this love song, I’ll never sing it again
So I can stop thinking of you, so I can finally forget you
(Seungri) I hate this love song, I’m going to sing it with a smile
In order to cure your loneliness, I’m going to you now
ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh-hoo
(TOP) The warm rays of the sun are of another world
The field of reeds are dancing all alone
I remain paused at a green hill, holding a conversation I’ve yet to finish with her
The sky is of an expressionless face that holds no answers
You’re probably hiding behind the clouds, you’re probably a star
(GD) I close my eyes and feel your breath, I dream of you
A smile spreads across my lips, you’re breathing with me now
Time, please stop, don’t divide her and I
Wind, stop blowing, this is my last letter to you
(Taeyang) I hate this love song, I’ll never sing it again
So I can stop thinking of you, so I can finally forget you
(Seungri) I hate this love song, I’m going to sing it with a smile
In order to cure your loneliness, I’m going to you now
ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh-hoo
oo hoo ooh-ooh ooh-ooh
Welcome back (How you doin ladies)
yoo hoo y’all already know what it is
ooh-ooh (you can’t touch this
YG and another big bang
I’m so stupid, I’m so stupid, I’m so stupid in love x2
(Seungri) How could you be so, how could you be so
I can’t believe you (I hate all girls)
You’re the one that threw me away, but if you come back, I’ll crumble
(GD) You said you were sick, you said you were busy with homework
You said it’ll only be a moment, so you can enjoy a cup of tea with your friends
But pitiful me, I try to act like a man
I acted like I didn’t know, but why is it always the same pattern
Every time you open your mouth, you spit out a lie
Your nose is growing, just like Pinocchio
(Daesung) What’s your truth? What am I to you?
I won’t just let it go this time
(Taeyang) Monday to Sunday, am I just a choice?
Baby don’t lie to me oh
(GD) Hey, I’m going crazy, I’m going crazy
Look at you acting like you don’t know anything
But now I’m getting tired of it, I’m getting tired
Let’s stop meeting now, because I know what’s going on
Baby I don’t hate you
I like you the way you are
I’m going crazy, I’m getting tired
Liar liar stupid liar liar liar liar x2
(Daesung) In your covered smile is a hidden gaze, who are you looking at?
Every time you do that, I get so scared
I get all nervous, wondering if my friends saw
(TOP) If only we could go back, back, back
If I’m so broken
But it’s too late
Fatigued over something that’s burdened you
Whatever the case, love is a sin against each other
We’re all like children, blaming others for our pain
(GD) Hey, I’m going crazy, I’m going crazy
Look at you acting like you don’t know anything
But now I’m getting tired of it, I’m getting tired
Let’s stop meeting now, because I know what’s going on
Baby I don’t hate you
I like you the way you are
I’m going crazy, I’m getting tired
Liar liar stupid liar liar liar liar x2
(Taeyang) Behind that pretty face lies someone else who I hate
Can’t we just turn back to when we first met?
I’m so stupid, I’m so stupid, I’m so stupid
I am stupid, I’m so stupid, stupid
I’m so stupid, I’m so stupid, I’m so stupid (oh no)
(GD) Hey, I’m going crazy, I’m going crazy
Look at you acting like you don’t know anything
But now I’m getting tired of it, I’m getting tired
Let’s stop meeting now, because I know what’s going on
Baby I don’t hate you
I like you the way you are
I’m going crazy, I’m getting tired
Liar liar stupid liar liar liar liar
네가 울고있다 해도
달라질것 없다고
You said even if you are crying,
nothing will change.
지금 네가 없다진다 해도
달라질것 없다고
You said even if you are gone,
nothing will change.
하지만 왜 넌 울고있니?
마지막처럼 눈을 감고있니
But why are you crying?
Why are you closing your eyes as if this was the end?
다 지난 일이잖아 이제 웃어봐
Everything is in the past, now smile.
[chorus]
수많은 사람들 떠나가도 이 노랜 영원해 네곁에 (함께할꺼야)
그 많던 친구들 다 떠나도 여기 난 네옆에 계속 서있을거야
Baby don’t cry baby don’t cry baby don’t cry
언젠가 꼭 빛날꺼야 give me your smile
Baby don’t cry baby don’t cry baby don’t cry
한번만 더 날 위해 just give me your smile
[chorus]
Even though many people will leave you, this song will stay with you forever (we’ll do it together)
Even if many friends all leave you, I’ll continue to stand here by your side.
Baby don’t cry baby don’t cry baby don’t cry
Someday you will surely shine, give me your smile
Baby don’t cry baby don’t cry baby don’t cry
one more time for me just give me your smile
[two missing lines here]
내가 알고있는 너의 좋은점
넌 그걸 제일 잘 알잖아
The good stuff that I know about you,
you know them the best.
하지만 왜 넌 울고있니?
세상이 끝날것처럼 눈 감고있니
But why are you crying?
Why are you closing your eyes as if this was the end?
지난 일이잖아 이렇게 질수없잖아 안그래
Everything is in the past, we can’t just do nothing like this, right?
[chorus x2]
Even though many people will leave you, this song will stay with you forever (we’ll do it together)
Even if many friends all leave you, I’ll continue to stand here by your side.
