I love MAMA aka Mnet Asian Music Awards.. hehe i always thought the abbreviation sounds funny..
But it's funny in a gd way.. Mama gives it a "homely" feel~
It's organised by Korean's Mnet, so understandably most of the artistes are Korean..There's Chinese & Japanese artistes, but seems quite "不红" cos i havent heard of them b4 =p
So it's really weird to call themselves Asian music awards..

"Asian Music" emcompasses so many countries & languages~
Korean, Chinese (China, Taiwan, HK), Japanese, Filipinos, Vietnamese, Malaysian, Indonesian, Indian, Cambodian, Thai... And of course, Singaporean..
SO many outstanding musicians that i couldnt listen to them all in my lifetime..

Gosh!! 2PM won 3 awards!!!

They're a fantastic boyband but i didnt expect them to win So many~~
Cameramen loves Nichkhun a lot, keep zooming in to his nice face.. Hehehe.. Taecyeon & Chansung are as awesome as always yays!!!

Hmm maybe cos SM Ent's artistes were absent from the event?
I rmb last year SM Ent boycotted the MAMA awards as the organisers let Jaejoong, Yoochun & Junsu attend and collect awards on behalf of DBSK. They were in the midst of lawsuit & arent supposed to participate in anything aka "appear in public". That shucks..

I saw JYP Ent's 2PM in a super prominent VIP seats beside YG Ent's 2NE1.. And MAMA let YGE's biggest band Big Bang (pun unintended =p) perform 6 songs continuously.. Even though it's just 3 members, they totally rocked the stage as each of them exude different charms & charisma~

Hence it doesnt matter much when SHINee, SuJu, Snsd arent around..
Having 2PM, Big Bang & Miss A, Wonder Girls is awesome alr..

I enjoyed specially staged live perfs, diff from usual mvs, music shows..
2PM's sad, lonely mime setting is interesting, but the prelude took quite long & pple who dunno 2PM wouldnt be interested to wait & watch them..

Miss A's a powerful rookie girl grp, I guessed their 'Bad Girl Good Girl' would win Song of the Year and they did! Just sang that song in ktv ytd =)
It's a great debut song for the group!

2NE1 got 2 big awards. Artiste of the Year as well as Album of the Year..
I used to like this fierce hiphop girl grp, but i grew sick of them..
Practically ignored their latest album release 'Cant Anybody', just didnt listen to a single song, neither did i watch their music video & live perf..
Should i give that album a listen when i'm free?

But then since when am i free?
Having 2 modules (again) in this block is time-consuming.. I have been focusing on Photography, Applied Illustration's neglected le~
1st time experimentation with a DSLR, meddling ard with the manual modes: ISO, aperture, shutter speed..

Went for photoshoot in Clarke Quay last thur..
Took a short walk b4 & after my dance session in Chinatown to take pictures.. That area's more interesting cos of all that heritage & cultural elements..
Ahhh, i dun think i've fantastic photos to show, but eh... 40% of the module's marks eh.. Make or break~

Bless me..
Lovely thanks!
