DBSK is back. Fighting!!




It's the ever awaiting comeback. DBSK burst into the Kpop scene (once again) with a much anticipated single, MIROTIC. And I say, it's about time, oppas ;)

Thanks to my kawaii gal pal, I was updated about this PV (work seems to always get the better of me nowadays) by her. And I'm glad she did! Ever since they released their Purple Line, DBSK seemed to have mellowed down their image. They appeared, ahem, softies? However you might wanna categorize their image, it's safe to say that it was far from their 'Rising Sun' era.

So it was refreshing to see that these oppas returned to the scene with a brand new attitude. They appeared hotter. Hotter hairdos, hotter dance moves (it's nothing like before, it's more...urm..smooth?) and yes, hotter bods too (you see that coming, didn't you ;p) To add even more seasoning to the already scrumptious kimchi *ha ha* our beloved oppas now look more mature too.

The PV starts with each of them being taken away by some supernatural force and that force is revealed shortly after that. And of course, that 'force' is a lady, clad in a red satin dress. The PV continues with how that lady in red tortures (or rather, plays!) with each of them. Jae Joong is tied down to the ground with a rope, (my) Yunho is tied with black chiffon (damn), (the now adult) Chang Min is being left in the water, Micky is being confined in a jar that makes him look like Nemo in an aquarium, while Xiah gets to play with laser beam! And after each of them is released from their torture, they ran after that lady in red. And this is the part where I wish I AM that lady in red. Nosebleed. And towards the end of the PV, pay close attention to their eyes. I have a feeling their fans wouldn't mind dreaming about vampires after this ;)

All in all, not a bad attempt for a comeback, it shows their maturity and I don't mind that at all. It would be a tad too weird should they be back with a 'balloon'-like single. They are way past that age :) So, welcome back Oppas!!

Ahem, and Yunho, you know I'll be dreaming about youuuuu tonight ;))

THE HEROES ;)

THE DIFFERENT KIND OF LOVE
Is it really that impossible to befriend the opposite sex sans the emotional feelings that often leaves people caught up on a ride of the emotional roller coaster?
I’m sure there are many views about the above matter.
But I suppose it all comes down to one thing. Sincerity. If one is sincere about the friendship, there should be no (or at least few) dilemmas. Those dilemmas that could arise and dampen the friendship.
For me, I feel that I am blessed with friends who bring the colours to my life. They are of the same as well as the opposite sex of me.
There are friends who make you feel like you are their little sister (and sometimes like their daughter, too!). The way they protect you against the elements that could bring sadness to your life. And also the way they give you advices (that sometimes sting and feel like a slap to the face! LOL). But despite the (stingy) *ha ha* advices, they turn out to be one of the BEST cook. It felt heavenly to taste and I miss your (exotic hee) dishes, Big Daddy F. And also how you believe and stand for your beloved lil sisters. You make me wish I am your real daughter / little sister
There are also friends who would go all the way to make you feel better. Who would call you to make sure that you are OK, because the sound of you crying is apparently NOT the most attractive sound in the world ;p And who would literally BE there for you when it is possible. You’ll always be my darling (I know you will read this piece of entry someday! ).
Similarly, there are also friends who would call you right back when they missed your call. When all I wanted was just to hear a familiar voice, we ended up chatting away for hours. And boy, it must be something about being a male because there is always, always good insight or solutions that I could get from these calls. They could be fun and insightful at the same time and this flexibility is what I find most interesting.
There are also friends who you are yet to meet in person but they become one of the prominent persons in your life, regardless. It’s just the simple little chat that could uplift your mood from zero to almost a superhero like. And I thought it’s wonderful on how someone who have never even meet me could become one of my great backbone, who root for me to continue updating my blog. (You study well for your exams ok, doc?)
There are more that I should write about.
Each and everyone holds a special place in my heart and all of you deserve an individual shoutout . But this is just a snippet, that I’d like to share with all of you. On how it is NOT impossible for girls and guys to be just friends. The key thing is to be sincere. It could make or break any relationship, for that matter. And to be someone of importance (regardless of how prominent it is or not), I feel lucky to be stamped in the heart of these hunks (cehwah~!) even though I might have no place at all in the heart of someone who I really wish be ruled with my name.

The arrival of Ramadhan

The time has come again.

It felt (almost) like yesterday my flatmates and I break our fast together (it was my final year as a student, last year), went to bazaar ramadhan (although we did not buy much - restricted by petty budget as students!), had several aerobics sessions hours before the breaking fast time (yes it WAS mighty tiring), performed the tarawih prayer and of course, countless chatting sessions (we do this regardless of the season tho ;p). It was our first Ramadhan in Malaysia after went through it twice overseas (UK, Australia and New Zealand). I shall not give further details on my experience fasting overseas as it deserves another special post (I have heaaaaaps to tell!) and this post here is especially dedicated to my final student year that I have come to miss so much.

Referring to the petty budget matter as above, I can spend more now as I've started to earn my own salary but somehow it feels less fun. It felt more fun to scout for food at the bazaar (our spot was the Kerinchi Bazaar Ramadhan) with your besties with you. And to share food with them when it's finally eating time. And to perform the Tarawih together in our hall. And to sahur (although there's not much - singledom sahur, you know the drill). Those are (some) of the happy times that I miss. We bitched on how we hate last year (the experience of studying abroad made us somewhat bitchier about studying locally -we wanted to complain about EVERYTHING!) But now that I left that place, I really wish that I could turn back time and relive those moments again with my favourite people. I don't really have one here (place where I am posted to).

It is also nice to be with your family during this time of the year. I love to break my fast with my family and to go to the surau with my mother. Ramadhan makes me feel extra nostalgic. But I suppose it's not that bad to be alone (only during weekdays because I go back every weekend - regardless of the fuel's price ;p) at least I get to spend some ME time and perhaps, I could improve on the piety section, too!

Salam Ramadhan, all. Hope you'll have a good one with His blessings showering on all of us at all times. And remember, behave ;)

P/S - Just a bit off topic, yupp, I went to Avril's concert! It was pop alright and I had lotsa fun with my gal pal. Will post about it later!
