Wow another month over just like this. Where did the time go?! This would mark the 2nd month of our blog's birth! Woah that was quick! D: If you are new to this blog, welcome and remember to click those tabs at the very top to check out our monthly favourites! :DVideo: One of a Kind - G-Dragon
Another crazy video by G-Dragon. Dreadlocks, stabbing hearts, asian bears, Chanel tennis balls......this video is full of crazy stuff but hey, that is the One of a Kind G-Dragon for you!
Song: Rock Ur Body - Vixx
This rookie group is really impressing Rachel! 2 catchy title songs that got her replaying it over and over in less than 4 months. We are excited to see what this rookie group has to offer in the future!
Drama: Gentleman's Dignity/Gentleman's Class
Omg how can anyone not like this show? It is like Boys over Flower's F4 but the 30 years later version of it! Even though there is only 1 member of the main cast below the age of 25, this drama showed that even without the idol actors/actressed (Though CN Blue's Jonghyun did do a great job as a supporting character), it can still make it because it is just so damn hilarious. Definitely a must watch!
Dish: Korean Hotpot
After having hotpots nearly everyday in Korea, Rachel has decided that this shall be the dish of the month! You will never get bored of the LARGE varieties of hotpots available out there! Seafood, pheasant, mushrooms, you name it, they have a hotpot for it.
Hottie: Yoo Ah In
We totally love him! Like Nazlin said, he's got natural swag. He is slowly coming up as an actor and we cannot wait to see more of him!
News: Actor Yoo Ah In reveals he is in a relationship
And then there is this news that shattered both our dreams. Sigh we are happy for you though! We wonder who that lucky girl is!!

I always found it hard to choose that ONE song to show my non-Kpop friends and try to 'convert' them into liking Kpop. Kpop songs (well the older ones) are still quite different from the mainstream music in US or UK, so in today's post I will try to compile a list of more....normal songs (to the non Kpop people that is) to introduce to your friends if you are trying to get them to like Kpop!Some tips to keep in mind when you are trying to introduce Kpop songs to the beginners:
- Try to find songs without MAJOR Engrish (eg Make a love baby, IN THE CUBE). These songs are a bad idea if you have friends who act like grammar Nazis.
- Never show them the music videos. Things like the guyliners, dancing pretty boys (or girls but just mainly the boys) and tight pants take some time at getting used to. They might get mentally scarred during the first few seconds of the MV and you will lose your chance at turning them into a fellow Kpop-er.
- Try avoiding the use an SM's title song as the introductory song. SM's title songs are quite...over the top and not so usual in a non Kpop-er's dictionary. All of Super Junior's title songs were a bad idea, so were most of SHINee's title songs. I think to like these song, you need to have somewhat of a 'Kpop background'. Like take Ring Ding Dong for example. Before I was into Kpop, I thought it sounded terrible and hated it. Now that I am into Kpop, I found it somewhat normal. Weird I know but that's how it is.
-You can't go wrong with ballads. Well ballads are normally the same right, Kpop or not? I haven't heard of some crazy ballads so I might be wrong.
- Ask that person what their favourite songs are and try to find Kpop songs that are similar. I've been using this way recently and it's the most successful ahaha.
Disclaimer: The following list may not even work because I have lost all senses of how a 'normal' song even sounds like since I've stop listening to English songs (with the exception of Muse and a little Temper Trap) for nearly 3 years. But you must know I tried my best.
Ultimate list to successful conversion (in no specific order)
1. Beautiful Night - B2ST
2. The Fact - B2ST
3. Tonight - Big Bang
4. Lies - Big Bang
5. In My Head - CN Blue
6. Lie - CN Blue
7. 못해 - 4Men
8. Baby Goodnight - GD&TOP
9. My Heart is Beating - K.Will
10. Replay - SHINee
11. Hot Times - SM the Ballad
12. It's You - Super Junior
13. Coagulation - Super Junior
14. Wedding Dress - Taeyang (Everyone seems to know this song so it might work!)
15. Before U Go - TVXQ
16. Mirotic - TVXQ (Quite a lot of my non Kpop friends know this song...strange but give it a try too!)
17. They Are Coming - Wheesung
18. This Song - 2AM
19. Without You - 2PM (This song got me into Kpop. I was so against it and this got me into it. Might be the magic potion to all conversion.)
20. I Am The Best - 2NE1
So fellow Kpop-ers, go out there and spread the Kpop loooooooove

Feel like showing off a bit hehe. It's not a huge collection, just a few that I bought because of one of these reasons:1) I like more than half the songs in the album
2) It was cheap
3) Super Junior
Some of them I had people bringing them back from Korea while the rest I bought them at Rock Corner or Speedy. If you only like the ones made in Korea, I suggest you don't buy your stuff from Speedy because they tend to have more different versions (I would get to that later on).
TADAH! So here it is, my collection so far after 3 years. Not too crazy right? :P All of them are bought with my own money excluding the U-Kiss one which was a gift from my aunt. She bought it all the way in Korea! I also have 3 second hand ones (SHINee 2009 Year of Us, B2ST Shock and SJ M Super Girl) that I bought from a friend when she was selling all her albums.
One thing though, not all of these are the original ones. And by that I mean not produced in Korea. There are a lot of albums that are either printed in Taiwan or Malaysia and I got a few of those. Before that I didn't really know and I thought all of them were the same but I don't really mind. But if you don't want to miss out on some of the photo books or photocards, buy the ones printed in Korea. I have 5 that I am sure that are made in Korea.
And to confirm whether your copy of the CD is made in Korea, just look for this gold sticker. Or compare the price. Imported ones are always more than 60 ringgit.
More than half of my collection aren't the original ones actually :P
Quite easy to tell if they are made in other countries. The price will be cheaper generally, most probably won't exceed 60 ringgit (based on the ones I got) and they have these written at the bottom.
SO yeah. That's my collection. My sister's though, is larger (and more expensive) than mine. Before I start, I'm sorry for taking pictures of your stuff. I tried putting them back in their original places. Please don't kill me. OKAY MOVING ON!
She has a lot of SM albums.
Look at her Super Junior collection! D: She even bought all version A, B and C of Bonamana. And look at that latest buy of hers. Isn't it beautiful? It was so expensive though. ): Still haven't convinced her to trade her Donghae photo card with me.
Her SHINee ones.
Omg I was so jealous when she got this. It was almost 200 ringgit I think but my dad got it for her as a birthday present? Wait, I think she paid half of it, not sure. But woah it was so thick and the photo book was HUGE!
Her beloved Infinite. She got Be Mine from Korea I think.
One of the nice album covers EVER!
Yeap! That's all we have in this household. Hoping to add a few more when I get back from Korea. Less than a week! :D :D :D

As you guys probably can already tell, I love ponytails. On guys. Yeah, don't judge. Not all guys though, only some guys. So yeah, here I am to show you some of my favourite ponytails in Kpop historyyyy!
Lee Taemin, of course we are going to start with this boy. He was the reason why I love ponytails! BUT! I only like his ponytail from the Lucifer era. His Sherlock ponytail didn't do it for me. Maybe cause it was a bit too long.
Then, Infinite came back with Before the Dawn and maknae Sungjong was sporting a ponytail too! After that, I was pretty sure about my love for ponytails.
I mean, why not? Look at Kim Bum. How hot does he look with his ponytail? Very. Maybe the abs helped a bit but still.
How about some Joon ponytail? Not really noticeable but it is there!
Or Sungyeol ponytail (and 6 piercings
Jungshin's ponytail is good too. He has he best hair in CN Blue honestly (Sorry Jonghyun, I still love you
To be honest, this even close to half of my ponytail collection but hey, keeping it short (: PONYTAILS

9. Jonghyun (CN Blue)
I love it when guys can play bass or guitar. LOVE. And here we have Jonghyun who is the guitarist and vocalist for CN Blue. I love how he is just oozing with charisma when he plays on stage. Sigh ♥.♥
I like his little hair flips..
He doesn't really smile or laugh but when he does, I like it.
And lastly, I'm in love with his voice. Even though he is not the main vocalist, I personally prefer his voice to Yonghwa's (Sorry Yonghwa's fan). He also likes closing his eyes when he sings hehehe so cute.
