Woah...

I just found a new kpop boy band, who debuted in october '09, which instantly took my breath away and owned all of my attention all at once.

Introducing B2ST(Beast) which is short for 'Boys to Search for Top'!



And their members are:


*click to enlarge

Doo Joon's the leader.

Hyun Seung is supposed to be the 6th member of Big Bang but quit because of stage fright. (...err...) Oh, and he had to gain weight before his debut as a B2ST member. (haha)

I think Jun Hyung's the most charming member, ever since he was feat. in Hyuna's 'Change'. (I like him!)

Yo Seob has the cutest face, kinda reminds me of Xiah Junsu of DBSK.

Gi Kwang likes to show his abs. A lot.

Dong Woon is the one I was initially attracted to because I thought he was most good-loooking out of all members, and I think the tallest. But he turned out to be the youngest(19). And sadly, he gets the least lines in a song and the least front position during a performance. And he only has 9 words for his intro in Wiki. How sad...But seriously, I thought he's a foreigner...Tall, dark and handsome...sigh...

I'm certainly gonna look out for them in the future.

Listen to their teaser, I think it's quite nice. Their vid and this teaser was probably for thier debut, as though it's an intro to B2ST.



B2ST Hwaiting!

Sigh...

I almost cried during the last few minutes of watching just the 1st OVA. Yeah, it's an OVA series, with only 6 OVAs. Why did I cry? Because of an unexpected twist...so sad...

The protagonist, Banagher Links(pronounced Banaji in jap)has quite a similar personality to my one and only hero from the Gundam SEED series, Kira, both quiet in normal moments, but can become quite emotional during tense situations. And they both have brown hair.

But they do have ONE VERY OBVIOUS DIFF: THEIR LOOKS!

Compare: Banagher Links



vs.

MY KIRA YAMATO! :




HAHAHA! My husband!

Anyway, there were 2 heart-breaking moments in there in which I could not help but just scream in terror helplessly in front of my com. screen.

Because these two moments just keep reminding me THAT THE GUNDAM SEED ERA IS WAY OVER! NOOO!

Let me quote them:

1) Prime Minister: "Let us share this happiness among mankind, bid farewell to Common Era (C.E.) with gratitude and respect, and welcome Universal Century (U.C.), the new world, with a smile.

T^T C.E. was the era in the Gundam timeline in which the Gundam SEED series took place.

2) Banagher: "This is Haro. Do you know about it? It's a replica of the mascot robot created by the ace pilot of the big war. Didn't you hear about it in your childhood?"

Damn! How long ago did the war during Gundam SEED took place for them. The first thing I thought of "Did Kira die of old age already?" Aargh! ...it just feels so sad...

Well, the next OVA will only come out in the autumn of 2010. Still a long way to go. But the 1st OVA is a bit confusing since there were many references to wars and eras from the older Gundam series, much older than Gundam SEED itself.

Ok, until I watch the next OVA, I'll stop here.

Once again, KIRA LIVES ON FOREVER!

Wow. Today was the first time I've ever watched the Oscars LIVE on tv (abt half an hr ago). It was glamourous, star-struck with a whole lot of people in there. Don't know what else to say about the event as a whole.

Honestly, out of the 10 movies nominated for Best Motion Picture, I've only watched one of them, and that is UP. The one thing that highly impressed me from the movie was that soundtrack that I, someetimes consciously try to make myself remember (constantly asking myself "how'd that song go again?"), while other times, I subconsciously remember even in dreams and even after I wake up from it. It was such a beautiful, touching, airy tune, it truly portrays the peaceful, pure love with a dream-like feel to it that Carl and Ellie both share. Of course, another thing I liked was the humour of the movie. Simple, teasing kind of funny. Haha.

I am truly happy for Michael Giacchino for winning Best Original Score for the movie "UP". I truly am. Because from what I've heard from the little intros from each nomination, none of them were as powerful or as captivating as the UP theme, and apparently, the Academy agrees. COngratulations!

Oh, Best Male actor: Jeff Bridges. No surprises there.
Best female actress: Sandra Bullock. "Finally!" was my first thought. But, I quite like the main girl who played in the movie "Precious". No idea who she is. I'm gonna watch that movie. One way or the other.

But seriously, from 9am to 1pm?!?! Seriously, it would have been utterly dreadful and horrendous if our normal prize presentations in school lasted that long.

Finally congrats to all winners!


Love tweed.

See that.

Let me quote something from the NP website:-

"Apple Notebook computers are required for the following courses: Advertising & Public Relations; Mass Communication; Film, Sound & Video; Digital Visual Effects; Multimedia & Animation; Audio-Visual Technology; Chinese Media & Communication."

Cool.

Shit.

Damn.

I hate troubling my parents like this.
