The Psy fever is on!!

The current hit of the year 2012 must be Korean singer Psy's "Oppa Gangnam style". Not only had this MV lead to a rise of fame of Psy to numerous American shows, such as the Ellen deGeneres Show and MTV Video Music Awards with a handful of famous celebrities giving positive comments about the famous "horse dance", it also lead to a number of parodies of the interesting MV itself.

Psy's original MV:

The most similar parody (just changing the place Gangnam to Hongdae):

Hopefull the "Oppa Gangnam Style" fever continues until Psy's magic returns with another witty and fun MV!

Just some thoughts to ponder ...

Have you ever faked a smile or just followed what others said despite disagreeing? It's always easy to just "go with the flow" and not offend people. But in the meanwhile you reveal less about yourself, your originality and what you truly feel or think. On the other hand, have you pushed your thoughts, ideas and decisions too far and not let anyone barge in and disrupt whatever that  you think should be primp and proper or the optimal choice? The first thought is how bad is being too good, where you're just a "yes" man? The other thought is what the limit to being overly-confident and out-spoken? It's really hard to find a balance and display one's true personality especially with the perception of others. To those careful people, minds may be filled with thoughts like "Am I too harsh with my words?" and "Should I have given a kinder approach"; and to those slightly self-centered, what they may ponder is whether they stood out and the point they want across really achieve its purpose. So at the end of a day is there any measurements or solution to this?

I seriously have no idea. But I believe one person needs display his/her personality appropriately. So what if it's a fake smile, if it solves or avoid problems, then it's a mature move. So what if I insist on my thoughts, the one who bears the consequences is me and not others. I always believe in people showing their originality but with limits - this is where respect and love takes charge. 

Friendship - A Poem

Friendship
A relationship between 2 people
A sharing of emotions, experiences and pleasures
That bonds the relationship of both

Friendship
It's vague, imaginary and just a mere feeling sometimes
And depend solely on perception of one's heart
That a friend made is a delight, a treasure
Priceless and more valuable than gold and silver


Friendship
One may say it's brittle as glass
The other argues it's as strong as diamond
But the truth is
Friendship does have its ups and downs


But no matter what happens
Whether for better or for worse
Though a friend may now have become a stranger
And hopefully not an enemy
The memories together will never be replaced or forgotten
No matter how long time passes by

My Princess ended so soon !!

After 8 weeks of commitment watching the Korean drama My Princess, the sweet and humorous drama has finally ended with a perfect full stop. Starring Song Seung Hun and Kim Tae Hee, the story revolves around Korean's princess Lee Seol (Kim Tae Hee) and Park Hae Young (Song Seung Hun), who is the grandson to Daehan Group sucessor besides being a diplomat.

 
Though the drama My Princess is not 1st or 2nd ranked throughout its broadcasting period, it was a great pleasure watching the budding romance between the 2 main characters, which developed from dislike to love. Plus, the whole drama was an eye candy with gorgeous Tae Hee and handsome Seung Hun (who has been in hiatus for 2 years due to military service). To add on, there were quite a number of twist to the storyline which added excitement, frustration and despair to viewers.

[Spoiler Alert]
I was extremely pleased to watch the ending of the drama, as it ended with a happy and super sweet note. Finally, the 2 love birds are able to be together from any obstacles and problems facing them. Personally, I don't think how the ending can be more perfect and thus, I would like to say "Bravo!" to the scriptwriter (and of course the actor and actress for the hot smouching in the last few minutes of the final episode).

So I guess I will be into a new Korean drama Midas (starring Jang Hyuk) for now ...
