(sings) hey! don't bring me down..

I was reading the local paper the other day and came across this ad in the careerone section.

" CRAZY PEOPLE NEEDED. Young minded, ambitious & money hungry. $1500+pw easy.'

EH~?! Are you kidding me? How suss is that? Now would you call that being blunt or being brief? Surely you're curious enough to find out what it is, despite its "uniqueness". The words "crazy people" and "$1500+pw" don't usually go together, because frankly, it doesn't make sense ==' As tempting as that figure looks, it's too absurd, even for an Asian to consider..

[REVIEW] RAIN - RAINISM

So he's come back for his 5th Album. I've never been a fan of Rain. I've only seen two of his dramas and probably listened to one or two of this songs. The only admirable thing about him is his dancing.

But now, since his comeback has spread across kpop sites, I decided to see it for myself. Oh my lord, what the hell.. Haha what's with Koreans these days and making up strange english combination titles?
Lee Hyori - It's Hyorish
DBSK - Mirotic
Rain - Rainism

Anyway, I watched the MV. It's very stylised and dramatic. For example, when Rain himself is formed from water particles on the ground. Woah people, slow down on the special effects. I laughed when someone said; "What has Hollywood done to him..?"

I think he tried to put as many English phrases as he could into the song. But the one thing he still has in tact, is his dancing skills. I could really watch him dance all day, as long as you mask his face or something.

As addictive the chorus is "..the Rainism.. the Rainism.." (whatever that means exactly..) the lyrics are confusing to most. It is daring to compose a song such as this, but why must he include this line:
Inside your shaking body, there spins my magic stick

Magic stick?!.. Did he just say 'magic stick'?!.. What the fuck..

But of course his management backs up the claims by saying that the lyrics are "only references to his dance."

Uh huh.. right..

[REVIEW] BOA U.S. DEBUT - EAT YOU UP

Boa made her U.S. debut this week (21st?). Good on her for working so hard. I truly wish her the best of luck because that is not an easy industry to get into.

Her debut song 'Eat You Up" definitely has an addictive beat. The, how should I say it, 'sexualised' lyrics are very Americanised. It's funny how it's an English song, yet we still need the English subtitles XD

Anyway, the dance is amazing. The Asian MV is way better than the U.S MV. How weird is that? Shouldn't the better MV be shown in America? But nonetheless, she dances extremely well.

I'm still iffy over the lyrics, probably because of the whole "Eat You Up" thing.. O__o' But, still a decent debut track. Good luck to BOA and SMent. Hopefully this single will be a success in anticipation of her upcoming album =] This could probably be the pathway to future Korean artists entering the Western markets.. Rain could be next.. But please, don't do any more Hollywood films =='

So far, here single has earned ratings of 4.5/5 stars on Itunes. I want to actually see her on Music programs. I wonder when they'll show it here.. Maybe in 3 months.. Maybe never.. Thank god for the Internet.

[RANT] SARAH PALIN

Omg.. You do not know how much I dislike this woman. She's terribly annoying and her candidate skills aren't exactly up to scratch. But what frustrates me is that she killed the colour red for me ==' Props to Tina Fey for her uncannny resemblance. That SNL performance was hilarious. But I have to say, Tina Fey still looks much better than Sarah Palin herself.

I don't exactly know why I'm bitching about an American topic, but when you watch The View and Ellen everday, all those Election discussions start floating around in your head.

[NEWS] MUCK UP DAYS

Lately, there have been numerous accounts of Melbourne schools participating in "muck up days", which have ended in arrests and suspensions. LOL! Especially Xavier College, who managed to suspend the ENTIRE year 12 grade. Wah~ they managed to do what Bankstown couldn't. What idiots.

To think, the worst we did was defy the laws of kitchen condiments and bathroom essentials. Haha good times, good times.

And there was another school which had to evacuate the entire student body and staff because the year 12's had planned crackers and explosives near the lockers.

All I can say is, be glad you had a muck up day, because I'm pretty sure the law is going to ban the idea XD

Classes of 2008 across New South Wales, we made history =]

So, I had a phone conversation with Tien the other day. And there was something that he kept saying, like a signature line - "fair enough". I cracked up at the idea. Seriously, if you listen to him talk, everything to him is "fair enough". You could say almost anything and he would reply by saying "fair enough". It's as though he gives into whatever you just said- even if it is complete bullshit.

Randomly, he asked me, "what would you name your kids?" Interesting question lol. These are the names which I can remember. There were more, but I can't necessarily remember.
TIEN > boy - Jack > girl - Sophia
"hey, what about Jack and Jill?" .. No Tien, no.
KANA > boy - Micky > girl - Autumn

Haha, I thought of the name "Autumn" because it gives off a warm feeling, and there's something pretty about it. Tien gave a scenario in which her name would be used. The idea was funny at the time, not quite sure about now though..

GUY #1: Hey, you got a girlfriend?
GUY #2: Yeah..
GUY #1: What's her name?
GUY #2: Autumn..
(GUY #1 in awe)
GUy #2: What's your gf's name?
(momentary pause)
GUY #1: Kim..

I realise that the name Micky would create some terrible nicknames, but the name itself is entirely cute. Haha..

So there's a question for you, what would you name your kids?

Anyway, to end this entry, here's another "TT" grammar lesson.
Instead of saying "my colloquial terms", he said "my collective terms"..
I think with these moments, it's not really about the things he says wrong, the funny part is when he REALISES what he says wrong..

ok I'm off, see you guys soon =]

P.S. There's around 4 weeks left until I leave O__o Woah..
