BYEEE GONNA GO MIA FROM TONIGHT ONWARDS ADIOS MY LOVELY AMIGOS 

Cheesiness syndrome!

I've been MIA for quite a while now, and I'm desperately trying to rush finish my whole stack of ISPL homework, so do forgive me if you've been complaining about how much you miss my awesome posts while I was away ;) 


My life this past week:

• Study session with my dearest Vonny! ♥ Studied matrices in the morning at JE library, followed by some slacking time at JP in the afternoon. Don't tell a single soul about this, shhh!
• Tuition, tuition, tuition. Gah, how Asian I am.
• Thai Express dinner at JP with my family. Tried their new dish, and let me tell you, it's seriously spicy. Even my dad had to dash towards the washroom right after finishing his plate. All of us literally cried.
• Stayed at home for the next few days, did ISPL, slacked and rummaged for food the whole time.
• Went to Orchard for some window-shopping with my mom. Ended up buying huge bags of grocery at Peninsula Plaza instead. 
• Went for Chinese project group work today! The guys, as usual, slacked. Finished 70% of stuff in 3 hours time, how fast is that?
• Went to Westmall's Pastamania to have lunch with Jazz and PY. Went to have fun collecting toy capsules, in the children's section of the library chatting, buying stuff at Shop N Save and going crazy over anime stuff in Comics Connection. Borrowed 2 books from the library today: The Fallen 1 and The Fallen 2! Hurrah! (I'm still left with Gossip Girl's Psycho Killer too, hehe) 

I'm too fickle-minded when it comes to the affairs of the heart, so I'll just skip Day 4 and Day 5.

Day 6: 10 things you do when you're bored

1. Comb my hair
2. Play games on my phone
3. Listen to music
4. Read some books
5. Fiddle with my fingernails
6. Sing 
7. Rummage the kitchen cabinets for food
8. Look out of the window or door
9. Jump around
10. Use the computer

P/S: Don't be too worried when you see my post title. It was just something to describe how I felt when there was so much cheese in my pasta, that's all :)  

Oh and before I end this post, here's a quote:

“Just be yourself, there is no one better.” 

― Taylor Swift

Girl on fire.

Apparently, yes, I'm referring to Katniss Everdeen from The Hunger Games when I mentioned "Girl on fire" in my blog post title. 


Oh yeah, have you heard Girl On Fire by Arshad on Youtube yet? It is an original song made solely for THG by a fellow Youtuber. Well, this is not the official soundtrack for Catching Fire, but he has created petitions to allow his song to be the official soundtrack for the movie. I don't really know how to explain this whole stuff to you, so maybe you should just click on the video below and read the description and comments below it. Let us now appreciate the effort put in by him. Sit down, lay back, relax and enjoy the music!

Nice song, isn't it? Although I haven't read Catching Fire yet, I could feel the aggression of Katniss flowing through her. Her strong personality is boldly reflected through this song, and I applause Arshad for being able to translate Katniss' personality into this amazing song. Well done dude! 


Ahem, so moving on to my challenge of the day...

KPOP REVIEW: Hello Venus

Read my title above and you'll know what I'm going to discuss about today. Yup, it's about this hot new KPOP sensation girl group, Hello Venus.

According to Wikipedia, the group was formed by Pledis Entertainment and Fantiago. They are the second girl group to debut under Pledis Entertainment (the other being After School). The group consists of Yoo Ara, Nara, Alice, Lime, Yoonjo, and Yooyoung. They are After School and NU'EST's sister group, and debuted on May 9, 2012.

I didn't know about their debut at first until every KPOP member on Tumblr went on a crazy reblogging rage, all about Hello Venus. At first, I thought that these girls are SNSD members who did a total makeover to change their image in the music industry. All of their Korean faces look so alike that I couldn't recognize who is who! Until now, I'm still having difficulties differentiating girl group members. Boy group members are so much easier to recognize due to their striking facial features, trust me.


So, as time passed by, I finally realized that this is not SNSD, but rather, a revamped version of them. Unlike SNSD, Hello Venus has lesser members and a female rapper. I'm not sure who the female rapper is, but she's rather good at it. She's not like the SNSD members who went rapping in THE BOYS, going all girly and high-pitched in the verses. She has a more mature voice and stronger vocals, which I think add up to the good points about the group. 


Despite their good points, I'm actually annoyed and disappointed in KPOP girl groups. Sure, sing anything you want, but can you all please stop being so ulzzang-ish? Acting cute and making girly actions make you look more like a SNSD wannabe, and not an original girl group such as 2NE1. Look at 2NE1, they are much more mature and have more originality. Feminine wear is acceptable, but not super short skirts which are bound to expose your asses! Hello girls, are you trying to sell your virginity or music? Please at least wear short pants if you want to wear something which covers your asses perfectly. 


Lastly, I don't get the hype that is going around about Hello Venus. Hello Venus is indeed one of those rising girl groups in the KPOP industry, but...aren't KPOP girl groups all made up of the same type of people? Korean girls who dye their hair in exclusive colours, wear short skirts and pants, high heels and adorn lots of accessories. In addition, some HV fans said that the girl with the green hair (I think she's Lime) has that natural turquoise-greenish hair colour. I was totally blown away by that. Her hair is naturally in that colour? It can't be. Even I can go to the hairdresser's now and request for my hair to be dyed in the exact same colour. If it was natural, all the other colours would've been "natural" too. Who are you trying to trick HV fans? Harharhar.


In conclusion, Hello Venus should have at least some originality, and not another cliche girl group. The end.


*HV fans, please do not feel insulted. This is just my opinion, so if you do feel insulted, then I'm truly sorry.

Quick update!

Hello! A quick update about my life here!

• SA1 results were shitty as hell. Felt like drowning myself in sorrow.
• I have come to a realization that if my blog url was one-direction.blogspot.com, I can claim my rights and sue One Direction for copying my originality. Hehe.
• Bought The Hunger Games trilogy and restocked my wardrobe with new clothes! 
• Followed my mum to an all-adults dinner gathering on Friday night. It sucks, believe me. I was the only teenager there and all I can talk to were the cats. Meow.
• Listened to good old rock music by Bon Jovi. His songs are just amazing.
• Mark Foster and Taylor Swift...are they just normal friends or dating? If they are dating, well then, let the TSwift & FTP fandoms unite! 
• Watched the last episode of Yumeiro Patissiere Professional. Ichigo and Kashino, naww ♥ But why must it only have 13 episodes?! I hate you Natsumi Matsumoto. I want season 3 for the anime version of it now!
• My Korean drama is coming to an end soon. Next up, Jumong! I'm looking forward to it, really.

That's all for today folks!
