yoz.. This is the first time Cloud's blogging from her mobile phone..
Bought this nokia xpress music phone 2 weeks ago din know it's wi-fi enabled.. Juz randomly tried to connect to internet on phone to download an application.. Turned out that i can use it to surf net at home using wireless internet.. But i dun have a Wireless @ Sg account.. If not i can surf on my phone at so many wireless hotspots^^
So happy with my latest 'discovery' hehe.. Lalala.. Went youtube to check out latest music videos of who else? Hehe.. Who else can they be?
Jejung & Yoochun -a 'new' duo formed by 2 members of DBSK with their new single Colors -Melody & Harmony which debut at e top of Japan's Oricon chart ard 2-3 weeks ago.. 3 cheers for them! 2 of them sport similar hairstyles, in diff color.. I like Micky's hair that way (^.^)
Watched Shinee's RDD.. Aka ring ding dong if i aren't wrong.. Yes, sounds cheesy arh.. The english parts of the lyrics sounds darn cheesy.. Wat ring ring ring ding ding ding.. Fantastic fantastic fantastic elastic elastic.. Omg la! I know fantastic rhymes well with elastic.. But meaning wise? Where's the link bn e 2??
Oki i know english words only serve a decorative purpose in many korean and also japanese songs.. Many a times they dun quite make sense (to those who understand eng).. Hehehehe..
Heeee.. Thats all for this post.. Blogging on e phone is sure tiring sia.. Like typing an sms, just that there's no word limit~
Have a good sunday everyone =p

Takuya Kimura aka 木村拓哉's Curry Noodle Commercial
Super Lol-ing 30 sec of Indian music & dance.. Hehehehehehehhehehe.. Watch it!~^^
Stumbled upon this from PF's blog... watched it twice.. the way Takuya dance is funny too.. he tried doing the Indian head movements.. hehe, never expected Japanese celeb to do Indian dance.. So this CF's quite eye-catching.. One would stop & stare at the TV screen/computer screen when they see this~
Talkin abt Takuya, i still remember his series of Gatsby commercials which were aired in Spore, i doubt this Curry noodles commercial will be aired in Spore anytime soon, so i thought i should just share the laughs.. hehehehehhe..
Okies, finally something jap pops up in Cloud's post...
Cloud's quite Korea obsessed... to be exact it's Kpop addict.. wahaha..
[Big Bang. FT Island. Super Junior occupying my audio spectrum]
She needs to find time to check out new SHINee's songs.. Read raving comments about their new dance~ I just dislike their new styling... Whats up with Minho's hair?? Looks like crap.. Btw, that Minho is Choi Minho, not BOF's Lee Minho.. Hehe, same names can be confusing at times^^

Sad cases from Korean pop scene..
Heard from local radio show about Korean pop idol Kangin from Super Junior's DUI (drinking under influence of alcohol) + Hit & Run case, decided to surf Kpop sites for more news..
Btw that's him on the bottom right.. Took this 4-in-1 pic from the Kpop site, the title for this is October curse.. Clockwise from top left, Jaebeom (2PM), Shin Hye Sung (Shihwah), Kangin (Super Junior), Hero, Xiah, Micky (Dong Bang Shin Ki)..
There's a long list of korean celebrities/groups with unfortunate things befalling on them.. Kim Hyun Joong (SS501), G-Dragon (Big Bang)....
Too long to post here.. And i need sometime to understand the cases before presenting my view/post..
Oh boy, those that i've listed are from korean boybands... Is it the Curse of the Boybands or what? Hmm..
Found out that Kangin's company SM Ent put him on hiatus till end of the year (keeping him away from the spotlight but it can't keep away from controversy) Hit & Run case's quite serious.. But he felt guilty & turned himself in several hours later. He tried to hide his celebrity status from the police, identifying himself as Kim Young Woon (real name) a college student. The police officers (who apparently didnt watch tv & listen to pop music for several years) were unaware that the guy sitting in front of them's a well-known celebrity.
Ultimately, bad news always travel FAST... He didnt manage to hide for long..
This case is like adding fuel to fire -----------Fire: he was involved in a brawl last month but he claims innocence.. Fuel: Confessed to Hit & Run under DUI yesterday..
Gone case liao la.... What's up with u Kangin?!?!?!?
Reminds me of DBSK's Jaejoong's DUI several years back... SM Ent put him on hiatus to let him fan2 xing3 fan2 xing3..
Korean netizens are going into a tizzy.. Some asking him to leave SM Ent & Super Junior..
Well, this kind of comments isn't gg to help.. They're not the police, they arent his company's management...
But i expect more bad press to come in...
One of the victims just went on a tv show to talk about traffic accident..... Walau A!
How can?? The details should be told to the police, maybe some news journalist for news reporting purposes...
But on a TV show???
How much $$ is that fella being paid to go on TV?
This is not right..
"As a citizen, Kangin undoubtedly needs to own up to his actions; as an idol, his actions affect not only those around him but people all over Korea. However, with all of the media coverage and fan pandemonium, people seem to forget that Kangin is ultimately a citizen of his country and should be treated as such on both sides of the spectrum - yes, no one should turn a blind eye to his actions simply due to his idol status, but that doesn't constitute a punishment more severe than any other citizen. Leave legal punishment to the government and contract discussion to SM Entertainment."
Like this para from the kpop news site..
Korean netizens can be pretty horrible.. with all those ANTIS.. as in anti-fans..
The fans can be really crazy too..
Look at that!!!!
This is the Case of Jaeboem from 2PM (another Korean boyband) --top left in the 1st picture~
Jaebeom 2PM's band leader withdrew from 2PM & left Korea..
Just because of MySpace comments he made --NOTE: in 2005.. Probably somebody plotted to bring him down & unearthed those comments he made 4 years back.. He mentioned 'korea is gay.... i hate korea..'
Those 'statements' caused widespread outrage in Korea..
So his company JYP Ent let him resign (or did they force him to quit & leave Korea???????????)
Fans staged silent protests at 2pm outside JYP HQs (spot the 'irony'... how nice)... Protest was cut short due to police intervention..
They staged boycott of all JYP Ent's artistes unless JYP brings back Jaebeom..
Ard 1000 2PM's CDs were piled outside the company..
Cloud shakes her head..
Aye.....
Case of small controversy blown out of proportion~ I understand the feelings of heartbroken fans..
It's just MySpace comments made way before his debut, not on a live telecast of a tv show recording or something..
It just didnt seem that serious..
Or......Maybe not, not to those patriotic Koreans..
Then some people started comparing Jaebeom & Kangin incident..
How their respective companies handled the matters..
How Jaebeom got booted out of Korea though he hadnt harmed anyone.. whereas Kangin endangered others' lives with iresponsible behaviour & yet can still stay in his idol group & company..
Blah blah.. Endless.. Haiz..
In this era where information travels faster than the aeroplane, whatever you do, whatever you post online................ You may even have forgotten you did/said that..
Nevertheless, once it's posted, it's there... Even after you try to delete or something... Someone out there might have kept a copy of it somewhere..
It may come back to haunt you years down the road..
Regret isn't worth much... People pass judgment by looking at the mistakes & start to find fault from there..
On another note,
Had a surprising discovery from the Kpop news site.
Kim Bum's new hairstyle transformation for a new movie Emergency's unveiled!!
Many pple have gotten used to (or rather, fallen in love with) his charming prince-like looks with a warm killer smile.. from idol drama Boys Over Flowers.. I think he portrayed the artistic ceramic talent really well.
He's my fav out of the Korean F4^v^
He's gonna be a bad guy i think.
Trying to portray a darker image.. It clashes with his previous smiling sunshine boy's image..
So he has to try harder than others..
That probably explains the cornrows on his head..
And this cornrow style is getting popular in Korea?? BoA had that style in her prev album.. I thought she looked cool.. Big Bang's Taeyang & TOP looked uber cool too.. As for Kim Bum?
Hmmmm.. I still think the Prince Charming image suit him better.. Nevertheless looking forward to the movie..
Shall end this post with a happier picture..
After all that 'turbulence' in Kpop world..
Hope things will get better..
A rainbow after the heavy rain~~
Hope DBSK's lawsuit will not drag on any longer & they can resume activities as a group SOON~

Upon login, i realised i'd neglected this place for a month.. Time flies even when u're not exactly having fun.. Lols..
Spent the past 3 months working..
First taste of working in an office.. Starting out in the retail sales dept as sales admin coordinator for about 3 weeks... Then changed department to do HR Accounts admin..
Thinkin' back 3 months seem to pass neither slowly or quickly..
There were so many many things that i wanted2 blog, but put off cos i was tired after work due to diff reason..
In the sales position, i spent at least 7 hrs staring at the computer screen.. It makes sense to let my eyes rest at night before gg2 work the next day ---for another round of work (yes, work is never-ending) and for those who know me well, hehe u'll know that i've high high HIGH seriously high degree myopia.. So all the more i should take care of my eyes..
In the HR Accounts position, i returned home mentally & physically tired, just no mood to blog, so cui just have enough energy to sink into the sofa and watch TV..
Okie, that explains my cobweb laden blog for the past few months~~
Exact details i shall update when i've time..
It's gg2 be a longggg story & i havent figured out how to put it in a condensed manner.. I'll think about it..
*Hey Cloud.. It's time to be more concise, hmm.. though she've the tendency to type detailed posts. Long-winded? Actually thats how she remember events/things ---Through those detailed blogposts, cos her memory isn't good.. In fact, it's Horrible! It shucks!!*
THERE'S just SO MUCH THINGS I WANT TO DO..
I try to accomplish/complete as many as i can..
Tonight's a rainy night~~ Wanna go Zzzz earlier since it's such a good weather to Zzzz in..
Keeping this post 'short' & simple..
-Cooked Unagi for lunch today^^
Taste's Awesome!! Now i know frozen BBQ sauce seasoned unagi taste the same as those sold outside.. Shan't order unagi for my bento sets from now on. Buying the whole fillet ($3+) and heating it in the oven/microwave is so much better =p
-Smoke emitted from all those Mid-month offering incense burning is making me incensed.
Can't understand why some pple are so inconsiderate + environmentally unfriendly as they're burning such HUGE amts of incense paper that it generated a 1 storey high flames (yes, i see bright ORANGE FLAMES raging high at 1am last night) And those 2 aunties just left it BURNING... No basic courtesy to stay and watch to make sure it's not gg2 create a fire & raze the trees in the surroundings, the freakin' tall flames made cabbies who drove by slow down to check out whats happening.
*The wind brought smoke into her house, despite closing the windows till it's oh-so-stuffy for hours, the smoky scent lingered on.
She smells like smoked/BBQ steak =x
She hates it*
-Samsung phone's spoilt..
I think when Si told me i'm the only 1 (out of 3 who had the same phone) still using the phone w/o problems, I was glad to be a Caring owner of my phone. Forgot to touch wood & pray that my phone would be able to last longer than theirs.
2 weeks later, my phone started to give me problems..
Alamak!! Where's the wood? Pass me some Wooddddd!!!
The speaker/receiver's not working, so i can't hear a thing when answering phone calls..
And i discovered today that it can't play music and my ringtones..
Holli Sheeet..
I am a "proud" owner of a phone that don't let me answer phone calls & it's in permanent silent mode.
So for now, when there's anything serious/urgent/life-threatening & whatever, dun bother to call my handphone cos it's likely that i cant hear whatcha saying/u can scream/screech/complain/grumble/mumble all you can.. I wouldn't know..
Sorry arh.. Sms me, i can still read it, may be a lil lag tho, cos i can't hear any sms alert tone, i just check my phone as & when i rmb.. Windows live msn also can =)
Cloud's sian-ed by her phone, glad that she's no longer smelling like a smoked steak aft a shower & love the cool cool weather now..
Thats all for today =p
