Comeback

Consider 2010 over. Comeback in 2011... stay tuned...

Hit and Run

Had a dream last night. I was in my car and there was another car with two people I recognize. I stepped on the gas pedal and try to hit them but I slammed on the brake inches before hitting them. What does that mean?

Mnet Asian Music Award 2010

Mnet Asian Music Award 2010 aka MAMA 2010 was a Korean music award show. It's like those year-end award show like everywhere else. This one is held at Macau, China back in the beginning of December. I was excited to watch this show since it was the first big Korean award show being broadcasted on a Chinese channel. Then, the disappointment came. Chinese dub over Korean speeches. It won't be bad if the dub was good but it wasn't!!! The dub sounded "live" and "improvised". The translation was really bad and monotone. For example, three different female Korean presenters were introducing but the dub was by the same person with monotone. They even dub people "hahaha"... WTF!!! This kind of show should be used with original sound and put subtitles under instead. I am very disappointed with the production by Fairchild TV. I think they also cut some scenes due to the choppiness of the show; it has no good flow.

The only thing that saves the horrendous Chinese dub was the performances.
Miss A had Chinese lyrics for "Bad Girl Good Girl" and "Breathe": refreshing
2PM had an artistic performance: love it! A LOT of cheers for Nichkhun
i-Me (Chinese girl idols group) lip-synced their way through the song: similar dances to KARA, SNSD, and T-ARA
Perfrume (Japanese girl idols group): Jpop songs... *shrug*
DJ Doc: very charismatic
Gummy: cool haircut, great performance and great vocal as usual
2NE1 pumped up the crowds with Clap Your Hands. Even Min from Miss A was dancing to it. 2PM's Wooyoung was singing to Don't Stop.
Huk Gak - winner of Superstar K2. Powerful voice.
Taeyang, TOP, and G-Dragon - awesome performance with their first GD&TOP's song. 2PM's Taecyeon is rocking with TOP's rap.
Chemistry - an extremely popular Japanese male group. Used to listen to them; still as nice now. Lots of fans from Macau. 2PM loves them, too.
Far East Movement - they rise to fame this year with Like a G6. Nice performance, very club feel.
Wonder Girls - they performed their hit song, "So Hot" but got more cheers when camera zoomed to Nichkhun, Junsu, Wooyoung, and Dara. They also performed "2 Different Tears" and finally, their worldwide hit, "Nobody". Hyelim was touching Nichkhun... big nono...

Yoon Eun Hye was presenting Album of the Year. Surprised to see her.

That's all I caught on TV. Overall, it's a good show.
Pros: all the performances by different artists
Cons: the dubbing, bad timing, bad translation, and bad pronunciation in English
Improvement: use subtitles next time

Rating: 7/10

Season's Greetings

A friend of mine once posted a question, "Why do we celebrate Christmas?"
For those religious people who answered, "The birth of Jesus Christ," they are not 100% correct. No one actually know the exact date of birth of Jesus Christ. The date is just an approximation and December 25th is just a widely accepted date. Isn't Jesus Jewish?

Now, ask yourself the same question, "Why do you celebrate Christmas?"
Why do non-religious people celebrate Christmas? The Jews celebrate Hanukkah, that's fair.
I don't want to ruin people's Christmas and their Christmas spirit. Just sit and think about this after this holiday.

Happy holidays!

Holiday Wishes

Not asking for much, maybe I am.
This holiday, I wish the homeless people will get some warm clothes if not a home.
Those who are in love, stay in love.
Those who are looking, found it.
Those who are looking for jobs, found them.
Those who are struggling in life, don't give up.
Life is a bitch, I know, so suck it up. I know I am.

As for myself, I don't need any materialistic things to make me happy.
Happy holidays!!!

Frustration

So frustrated today... ARGH!
I really need to get a punching bag before something bad happens.
I wish life is a living person so I can punch it.

Why Bother?

Why do I even bother having facebook or twitter or msn? No one talks to me anyways.
Does that mean I have no friends? Probably.
If I shut it all down, are people going to care or wonder where I went? Probably not.

That's why I don't like holiday season. It makes me lonelier than I already am.
