Great Wall of China

I went to Beijing, China this year right after winter and just before spring. I didn’t pack any heavy clothes or thermals expecting that the weather was more like spring weather. Unfortunately, it was still pretty cold and when we visited the Great Wall, there was still ice on the ground. I really had to push my coldness tolerance because all I was wearing then were open toed sandals (I wore socks to save my toes), jeans, a knitted shirt and a trench that didn’t really offer any protection from the cold. I didn’t even bring a pair of gloves! Anyway, I survived the cold with a few pictures to remind me of the experience.

[MV] Infinite – Come Back Again

It took a while (a couple of months) for me to like this song. I guess I didn’t really paid attention to the song while Infinite was promoting it. Now that I took notice and really listened, I can’t get it off my head. I guess it’s got this quality that can get you addicted to it. Hehe. I’m fairly unfamiliar to Infinite but I think this song’s not bad at all.

 

[MV] SISTAR – Shady Girl

Despite my previous dislike towards SISTAR’s first single Push Push, I surprisingly like their new single Shady Girl. It’s got less of that bubblegum pop and artificial vibe of Push Push. I don’t want to compare the two groups but for some reason, I think this song sounds a bit similar to Miss A’s Bad Girl Good Girl. Nonetheless, it’s a pretty good song and I’m putting it on my playlist. ^_^

 

[Practice] SHINee – Lucifer

I’ve always loved SHINee’s dance routines for their songs. Lucifer is definitely no exception. This video of their dance practice for Lucifer is especially nice to watch because all 5 members are dancing here. With Minho’s injury, they haven’t been able to dance as a group in their live performances just yet. Hopefully, Minho will recover soon and they’ll be able to perform Lucifer the way it was really meant to be performed. ^_^

 

[MV] SS501 – Lova Ya

Since this is probably going to be the last SS501 song (with all 5 members), I thought their latest MV for Love Ya should be worth posting here. Although I’m not a huge fan of the group, I really like this song. It’s a shame they’re likely going to disband, but I guess it’s also good that they’re moving on to explore other options for their careers. Anyway, I’m looking forward to seeing them (individually or as a group) in the future.

 

[Mashup] HOT KPOP 2010 special mashup pt. 1

I’ve always loved Masa’s k-pop remixes. This one is a mashup of the top 30 songs from the first half of 2010. It’s simply awesome… I can only imagine how long it probably took to create it. Not only does this mashup sound really good, the lyrics make sense too! You can check out the songs used and the lyrics after the break.

A Perspective of Bangkok

This was I think my second visit to Bangkok. My first trip was probably more than 10 years ago. All I cared back then was the food and the shopping. Now however, I was more observant and appreciative of my surroundings. I visited Bangkok as a tourist, joining a package tour that brought us to the usual tourist spots, but I hope that my perspective is something a bit unique compared to others.

[MV] SHINee – Lucifer

After a long vacation from the kpop scene, SHINee has finally released a new single, Lucifer. To celebrate the occasion, the boys all got a makeover.  It’s not too bad, really. All of them look great, but I’m not too crazy about Key’s hairstyle. Still, they didn’t disappoint with their song. As always, the song is very catchy and their choreography awesome.
