I'm loving Verbal Jint featuring Troy Bumkey Walking in the rain

Despite hating rain, like the actual raining not Mr. Jung Ji Hoon. I like rain related song. My favorite is One Way's Rainy Days and Beast's On Rainy Days. Speaking of which, I really hope it rains in South East Asia, because we got bad haze over here. Thankfully my area had some rain so it isn't as bad as other area.

I didn't really know about this song before clicking the video because I didn't understand their tweets. I thought VJ was just supporting Bumkey's Bad Girl..Ahaha but this is awesome, great rapper and great vocalist, I had this great feeling about this whole song.

I wonder who produced this song, it felt like Primary or Zion.T kind of production. The music is rich with musical instrument without being redundant. I love the smooth transtition of Verbal Jint's rap parts and Bumkey's part. I know this is is VJ's song but I'm more biased towards great vocals of Bumkey. His voice control is playful yet classy.

I do love Rap but I'm not really good in commenting about it. Verbal Jint do work well with any artiste, I have not heard any collaboration of his that doesn't sound right. It's his deep voice that stood out in any collaboration that makes him a good rapper. I find girl rappers weird..only a few I can enjoy like Yoon Mirae and Miryo..the rest, are kinda meh or plain bad.

Random Post

I got have those random post sometimes.. You probably curious what's my other life is.

I had a personal blog before..but since my life is pretty much dead, I stopped blogging. I don't have any interesting event to share and if there is, it's too personal for public view.

Time flies by without notice. I'm scared but I can't wait for next year to start already. 2013 seems meh. Plus, next year is MY YEAR! The year of Horse! Though, usually it doesn't mean good luck. Nevermind, it will give good luck those next to me!

May has just ended and pheww! Wasn't it a busy month for weddings? So many invitation and many Kpop celebs are getting married as well. I didn't attend any since I hate weddings. I don't know..just the atmosphere is not my thing. Lot's of meeting distance relative, those I will only meet during wedding. I just don't get the Kadazan culture of inviting everyone connected.

It also means the end of Kaamatan or Harvest festival. My least favorite holiday because I'm not pretty (pageant contest), not talented (singing contest), sore loser (traditional games) and not a drinker (lots of booze). I'm so not Kadazan, my ancestor would cry. Sorry. this child of yours can speak more Korean than Kadazan.

I've been studying Korean.. Alone. I got so many books on Korea. Ahaha that's all I buy these days. I just purchase Lonely Planet travel guide on Korea. Hmm maybe I should have bought Seoul guide instead, but it's okay can watch Korean travel shows with ease. Lol

Tuesday 4 June 2013

it's my blog and I write if I want to.

Happy Birthday Micky Park Yoo Chun!

My wish for you is to appear on all the music show in Korea. I miss DBSK, but I'm fine with JYJ. As long as you are happy.

I haven't watch anything YooChun lately, but he is still my ultimate bias.

Gaah. I feel old too. Kpop changed so much over the years.. Never thought DBSK would end up like this and SuJu..don't let me start.


JYP out Brand New Music IN!!!

I'm on roll! Woot! 3rd post of the day!

So I read BN_Music tweet today and it says "JYP......" I'm like "wtf do they need to talk about JYP?" Before actually trying to read hangeul. I clicked on the article and yes! I shouted for joy literally as I try to understand the Korean article.. San.E is in Brand New Music!

If you follow my twitter, you would know how I react.. Hmm. Yeah, go check out my twitter @HallyuSurfer #selfpromotion

He released "Rap Circus" MV today and WARNING IT CONTAIN CLOWNS! And harsh language..:D

I hate clowns but I can watch it because it's not in person. Lol It's fine to skip the video, it's pretty cool editing but what you got watch is the subbed version provided by thehiphopLE on YouTube. Just read the translation and cover the rest...if you're scared of clowns. Kekeke

Anyway the lowdown is, he definitely dissed JYP.. I am assuming he referred the company as "Zoo" and he also hated his past project as he said to forget all the nickname because he is starting fresh with "Big Boy". Hmm. I can't say more, I probably got lost in translation since I am not sure if he dissed GD or not.

Welcome to Brand New Music San.E! Woot I am happy for you! JYP is going down! Woohoo! I told ya! Ahem, yeah. I left the JYP fandom since JaeBum left. I knew JYP was trouble. Don't know why you join JYP anyway, the company forces you to go JYP style all the time.

Officially Loving Geeks

Better late than never. After Phantom's last stage, I didn't have any song that I really love. EXO was disappointing..I mean, I love watching them on stage but the song got to go! Music Bank was not too fun. I feel like missing an episode wasn't a bother.

Anyway, I watched Yoo Hee Yeol's Sketchbook on Sunday and I come to learn more about Geeks. I love their single "How Are you" so much, so I anticipate the performance. They didn't perform it but I like their talk part. Hehe the origin of their group is interesting.Through online. yup, it's the new era. Hehe For the video, kbsworld on YT has the video in subs!

Their breakout song "Officially Missing You" sampled Tamia's song of the same name. I was too busy fangirling other idol at the time but it's my current jam now. I prefer this version than with Soyu.. it just sound a little bit more fun. I think?

As for "How Are you?" I saw their performance and loved it. The song is cheeky and fun. I love the whole vibe of the song and the lyrics are so current. The last part is spot on! The boys voice tone is a little high and it made the song so much brighter.

Although I do like Wash Away, it wasn't my favorite because I like seeing the happier side of Geeks rather this mellow side. It's no bad just, they looked better playing around the stage than being serious. Normally I prefer songs like "Wash Away" but Geeks is an exception.

They're currently in WA Entertainment which is cool! Because it's Phantom label too! I am slightly blur about it but yeah.. Phantom is in WA Entertainment beside Brand New Music.

Jealous of Eat Your Kimchi

I wish I could stay in Korea and do the things they do. Their fans are crazy, they give gifts like they're Kpop Idols and get super welcome at the airport. Wow. I am so jealous! I wish I could ask for donation for my own studio, and buy a photobooth so I can play with it all the time. I wish I could interview all those Korean Celebrities.

I would definitely troll my fans by creating a Kpop Chart and not choose the no.1 sometimes because I can. I can criticize English usage in Kpop MV while still use spellcheck on my blog so I won't call the fans "guise". I'd skipped call idols in different name though because I respect B1A4 and Beast.

Maybe I won't call my shows in random acronym because it's plain silly. I'm not an English Teacher but Wonderful Adventure Now Korea, Food Adventure Program For Awesome People and Open The Happy doesn't sound right.

Simon and Martina, if you read this.. You both are such lucky people. I'm jealous of your achievements. I hope that if you decide to move to Japan or open a Cafe, you don't ask for donation anymore. Maybe get a loan from the bank or ask for potential investors. I know it's not my money but hey, let's not be too greedy. Just a friendly advice.

If you're still wondering why fans are pissed off when you decided to choose one of the Top 3 instead of the usual No.1 video, Kpop fans are dedicated people. Kpop fans would do everything so their idols can win on the charts. Imagine how they feel when they did so much hardwork so you will review it and then you decided not to review because you don't like it. It is an offence to their hardwork. Let me say this, your viewers gave you this comfortable life. They have the right to say anything.

Koreamie~!

Hello! It's end of May and this my first post of the year. *nervous laugh It's okay..because nobody read this blog right? haha. ...
