The Smell of it All, Yucks!

Oh, I have so much to write about. Ideas and thoughts are bursting through my brains screeching to be let out. Hold on, hold on. One at a time. Ugh...wait a minute. What is that stench I detect?

Oh me, oh my. The smell is no less emanating from the government's leading figures. The stench of corruption. It smells all the way from London. I mean, come on. While the normal person in this country struggles to make a decent living, and those 'stinkies' keep insisting that we are performing very well economically - you definitely do a double take when news report surfaces that they own multiple high end London properties.

WOOOOOOOOOOW! The number of "O"'s is an indicator of my amazement. Such blatant flaunt of wealth! Such blatant use of the public's money! Such hypocrites! So amazing. Logically thinking, what public servant could actually accumulate such wealth while serving the office in let's say 20 years? I mean, I personally know of a few public servants who has been in service for 25-30 years barely affording a second, ok la, let us be fair and say, third home in Malaysia.

Politicians do earn more, I am aware of that. But to the extent of being able to afford a number of high end London properties? Even if those people started saving money from the young, tender age of 1 month, I doubt they can raise that much money. Especially if they are kampong folks, you know, children of farmers, fishermen, rubber tappers and whatsoever.

Oh, wait! Am I missing something? Maybe quite a few of them were born with tonnes of golden spoons attached to their mouth...hmm...that is plausible of course. Can someone please inform Guinness of this so that they are able to give them a world record or something?

Oh, the stink! Can someone please spray some country air freshener here?

Stinking out(?),

Korean Wave - K-Pop

Oh hello. I have been neglecting my blog for nearly 2 years. Or has it touched the 2 years mark already?
Well, whatever it is, I am back! And hoping to stay consistent with posting on here.

Topic of today is the Korean Wave - K-Pop. Yeah, you got me right. I am one of those many crazies who made this wave a wave. I loooooove Korean dramas especially. But, we'll save it for another time because today we will focus on K-Pop. No, I am not going to dissect K-Pop. I like listening to K-Pop, but I am not a fan.

So, a few days back a friend of mine posted on Facebook in regards to K-Pop. I was so annoyed about his post that I decided to blog on this topic. According to this friend of mine, all K-Pop groups were fakes with no originality whatsoever like Super Junior, SNSD, etc EXCEPT Wonder Girls. WHOAAAAA...wait a minute there! Hold yer' horses. I will again reiterate that I am not a fan of K-Pop per se, I just like listening to them.

Now, that statement was not made by him originally. It was brought up by a radio listener on this popular local radio station. And my friend totally agreed with that baseless statement. I, on the other hand, have a few points to make or ask or state.

Firstly, have you non-Koreans ever had the chance to watch ALL K-Pop acts to label all of them fakes? 2NE1 looks original to me for the most part.
Secondly, just because Wonder Girls managed to make it to the top of the American Billboard 100, it does not automatically make them an original act.
Thirdly, Wonder Girls can be also classified in all those fake K-Pop acts you labelled like Super Junior and SNSD - just watch their videos and listen to their songs. They are NOT all original. In fact, they like copying as well without a sense of originality but don't make me say it out loud what they are.

And, how in the world can one compare K-Pop to English music billboard charts? It is like saying the English songs that did not make it to MNET's list are un-original. You get my gist? These billboard charts are not a measuring standard for songs internationally. The fact is that they are a popularity chart. Songs will gain popularity according to exposure to the targeted listeners.

America's Top Billboard 100? You guessed it right, they are songs that are popular with the American public. But then again, how many of them actually listens to the songs listed on the list? If one is to make a comparison between how good an apple tastes', one does not take other fruits like oranges, pears or grapes to compare because the objective is to test the taste of the apples.

K-Pop-ing out,
MaeQ

Long Time No Write

The title of this post is grammatically incorrect. But who cares really? I don't.
Anyway, I have been neglecting my blog...well, I was busy. Sorta.

Guess what? I have a new follower. Hello there! If I knew you were following me earlier I would have deigned myself to write this awful piece of blog-piece. But what can ya do?
I love punchlines better now. Haha.

Anyway, will update again once I've confirmed something. See ya'll!

Till then,

Examinations

Aaaargh!!! Exams are up. Crap. How the semester have flown by so fast... It feels as if I just started the semester yesterday. Now, it's already the end of the semester.

Phew! What a semester. Very hectic and interesting as well. There was so much that was going on and is going on. My crush is over. Some friendships are over. A new day. A new dawn. It has all arrived.

Well, I suppose some relationships are never meant to last. Anyway, I won't give up my hope of searching for a boyfriend. However, it won't mean that I'll go searching for one either. I have lots to do for the upcoming semester.

Having a boyfriend will definitely take up too much precious time. Oh, well. When I'm ready. That's all for now.

Exam-mode,
MaeQ

Weird, Weird Feeling

Tell me what you want from me? - OneRepublic

This perfectly describes how I'm feeling write now. Disturbed and feeling lost. Pain whenever I read whatever he wrote. Missing him whenever I do not see him. Accurate feeling = LOST.

What do the both of us want out of each other I will never know. My guts tell me that it will never work or materialise but deep inside I hope that it might. This is a weird feeling to feel for someone so near yet so far.
Hmm...I really miss him.

In conclusion, it's a weird, weird feeling. This is something that I am NOT supposed to feel. *Sighs*

Weirdly weird,
MaeQ

Stupid Cupid!

Well, as the song goes, cupid is stupid and a real mean guy too. *Sighs*
Oh...what feeling is this? No, not love but infatuation. Again? Aiya...this is not good!
I hardly know the guy and not to mention, we're only communicating on certain grounds. Character flaw for him and boredom plus loneliness for me.

When we're both through this stage, we might never communicate again. I would certainly miss him because we've got so much chemistry together. Or maybe I found him interesting because he would answer all my questions. Besides, he is different. Can't say what exactly is different about him but different enough for me to find him fascinating.

And he is so different because he is probably the most matured person I've ever chatted with. Hopefully I get to meet him when he comes down. Haha. And he slept halfway chatting with me. That is so cute.

Cupid Out,
MaeQ

A Shoulder

I want a boyfriend!!!! It's no secret! Yes! Why? Because I want a shoulder to cry on, to lean on and to sit on. Lol. [About the sit on part is just a joke]
Yesterday during lunch, someone asked me, "Hey dear, are you seeing somebody?"
And I answered, "No, I'm not. Never seen 'anyone' for the past 21 years of my life."
And she continued by saying, "Go and shop around la, girl."
My answer: I don't have time to shop around.

Aiya...I could just kicked myself! Why in the bloody world did I say that? Ugh. I am officially pathetic.
Hmm...problem is, I'm too shy to approach the opposite gender. Besides, they find me too aggressive. Haha.
Oh, well. That's too bad.

And one of my friend's boyfriend once said to me, "I have friends who would love to date you."
My answer: Yea, unfortunately they're your friends and not mine.

Hahaha...Oh, you stupid girl.

Boyfriendless,
MaeQ
