[pinned] Artists I will watch LIVE.

I love LIVE performances. If I had unlimited money, I'd probably go to every single concert of the artists that I regularly listen to. But I don't, therefore this post.

There are a few rules (necessarily in this order) to determine whether I'd want to watch a certain artist LIVE:

1) 周杰倫 = a resounding YES, regardless of anything else.

2) Solo concerts: only bands (i.e. not boy/girlbands or solo singers). Of particular interest: 五月天, F.T Island, OneRepublic and 蘇打綠. Other bands worth mentioning: 八三夭, Linkin Park, Boys Like Girls.

3) Exceptions to Rule #2: Shinhwa and 王力宏, whose concerts I wish to go for, at least once. Also, DBSK, when/if they reunite as five in the future.

4) Mixed concerts: only if I like almost every artist performing.

5) Other conditions that apply to Rule #2-#4: ticket price and current financial condition, and whether I have anyone to go with.

As you can see, even after applying these rules, there are still quite a number of concerts that I want to go for. So I'm accepting applications for concert mates! :D Rest assured, I am an excellent concert mate who goes all out in cheering for the artists (but only at the appropriate times), so you won't regret watching a concert with me ^___^.

[pinned] My goals. (10/06)

Here is a list of the things that I want to achieve, both big and small. It is a reminder for me to start working towards these goals!

1. I want to stop saying wah-lao.

2. I want to have a good physical stamina.

3. I want to become a vegetarian.

4. I want to wake up at 6am every morning, and sleep at 12am every night.

5. I want to start learning music again.

[pinned] Guys I'm (not-so-)secretly in love with. (28/04/2014)

I can have a bimbz moment every now and then right XD.

These are celebrities that I'm not a fan of and don't usually follow, like if they're artists I may not listen to their songs, or if they're actors I don't have to watch all of their dramas, and my knowledge of them is limited to (but not necessary encompass all of) what's listed on their Wikipedia page. But I like them, for one reason or another.

This list doesn't include other people I am obviously in love with, like *ahem* Jay Chou, etc etc etc. (There should be a lot more, but in the split second I can only think of Jay, lol.)

(Okay, "in love" is maybe too strong a phrase, but if you should know, when it comes to celebrities I throw that phrase around like it's nothing. And in this context, it is nothing, actually.)

1. 王力宏

He's REALLY talented, and I like quite a few of his songs. But who am I kidding, really? He's just. so. good-looking. Anyone that has walked past a Seiko advertisement with me probably has heard me exclaiming, "王力宏好帅" or the like, because somehow I just need to say it every time I see him. (And if I don't say it out loud, in all seriousness, I really am saying it in my head.) In my opinion, he's the (read with an -ee) best-looking Asian guy. And the best part is, he's not really photogenic, so in videos where he's moving, he looks even better. GO FIGURE.

2. 羅志祥

小猪 is filial, hardworking and sincerely nice towards his fans. It doesn't hurt that he's easy on the eyes either. But the biggest reason why I like him is because he's SO hilarious. I don't watch 娛樂百分百 (in which he's one of the MCs) that often, but being able to watch it without subtitles is one of the things that make me feel thankful for knowing Chinese. I can't count just how many times he's caused me to laugh so hard I thought I'd die laughing, and there are a few clips of him that I saved in my Favourites for whenever I might need a good laugh because even though I've watched them many times they still manage to make me laugh every time. Even the sight of him literally rolling on the floor laughing uncontrollably is funny lol!


3. Lee Seung Gi

There's something about Lee Seung Gi that makes him likeable, but I still can't figure out what it is. Maybe he just has a nice personality and it shows? I don't think he's particularly good-looking, but he has a nice smile. And have you read how accomplished he is? Not only is he a singer, actor and MC (and I can objectively say that he does all three well), he is also currently attending a graduate school and has a good family background to boot. Seriously, no wonder people in Korea call him umchinah (mother′s friend′s perfect son).

4. Robert Downey Jr.

Robert Downey Jr is charismatic, funny and just drop-dead gorgeous. I swear he can charm the pants off anyone, male or female, gay or straight. And he's NOT old! Ohwells, who cares. I love those wrinkles around his eyes when he smiles anyway. Did I mention that he's the sexiest man alive? I didn't? There.

5. 仕凌 (MC40) from 大嘴巴

He's CUTE. I was watching the drama 愛上巧克力 (started months ago, right now at episode 30+, but it has like 80 episodes and I'm still contemplating whether to continue) and his comical facial expressions and boyish smile just totally stole the show. And from the few 完全娛樂 episodes that I've watched (he's one of the MCs), he seems down to earth, eloquent and likeable :).

6. 小傑 from JPM

Even though I know a bit about JPM's counterpart, Lollipop F, because of 京犬煜 (XD), I know nothing about JPM, lol. I remember seeing 小傑 on 周湯豪's 好友音樂會 one day when I was bored and had nothing else to watch, and he comes across as a really genuine, nice person. I am always a sucker for nice people! (As you can see, I "fall in love" very quickly, HAHA.) And I like the way he talks; very natural, 很爽快!

7. Tom Hiddleston

 

Tom Hiddleston! I first saw him in The Avengers, where he played Loki. At that time I was still often on Tumblr, and it baffled me how there were like, so many posts dedicated to him, how good-looking/sexy he was and everything. 'Cos I really didn't like Loki's hair (and I was also highly distracted by a Mr Stark in the same film, you see.) But then I got around to watching some interviews by the cast, and somehow I just grew to like him. It has something to do with how humble he comes across as, how genuinely he seems to ponder over each question asked by reporters and how nice he is towards just about everyone. He carries himself really well. I also really like his speaking voice; I can watch/listen to him speak all day *sigh*.


8. Lee Jong Suk

Lee Jong Suk is just ADORABLE. I first saw him in Secret Garden, where his and Oska's side story was my favourite, but I didn't like him until I watched School 2013, where he played a brooding high-schooler who was always either getting into fights or sleeping in class (lol). I don't really know what it is that attracted me to him; maybe it's his wide toothy smile, or how affectionate all his friends/colleagues describe him to be. I haven't watched many of his works, but I hope to, for he is a good actor :).

[pinned] Facts about myself. (27/01/2013)

Here are some things about me that you may or may not know about.

1. I don't like animals.

I may think that a puppy is adorable, but I'd still keep a distance from it and not want to touch it. I used to say that it's because I think animals are dirty, but then again, it's not really the reason. I guess I'm rather fearful of them?

2. I hate cigarettes.

I hate, loathe cigarettes with a passion. I think smoking is the most selfish addiction ever because in the process of killing themselves slowly, smokers are also killing other people with their second-hand smoke that is more harmful that first-hand one. I get pissed off whenever I smell cigarette smoke, and usually I make my disdain pretty obvious, on purpose. I have nothing against the smokers themselves, as long as they don't smoke within like 10 meter radius of me. I told my dad that I'd stop calling him Dad if he starts smoking, and I was not kidding.

3. I have a very bad memory.

I can't remember things well, so don't be surprised if, say, I say that I can't remember what I had for lunch the day before. (Now that I think about it, I really can't remember what I had o_o.)

4. I love fruits.

I don't think there's any fruit that I dislike. I love fruits!

5. I don't have just one favourite.

I like things, I dislike things. But I don't have favourites. Ask me what my favourite song is and I would never be able to give you an answer, even after you narrow it down to one particular artist. What's wrong with just having a top 3/5/10 for everything?

6. I really don't like to be sick.

When I was young, I really wanted to be a doctor. It wasn't really because of any noble reason like I want to help people, but simply because I dislike being sick. Usually I pride myself on being strong, but when I'm sick, I tend to whine a whole lot.

7. I love music.

I think listening to music is a big part of my daily life. I love music. You can always find the perfect music to go with any weather, mood, and what have you. You can like a song without liking or knowing the language it's sung in, or even its genre. It's rather amazing that I can remember so many songs' lyrics, given my terrible memory.

8. I don't regret.

I tend to do things that I want to, regardless of what others think. Conversely, I don't do things that others may expect me to, if I don't want to do them. Since my actions are a result of my personality and the situation, even if I were to be given a chance to do it over, given the same circumstances, I'd have done the same thing I did at any particular time. Therefore, there's no reason to regret. From time to time I may groan at some stupid thing that I did in the past, but I don't regret that I did it. I take a mental note of my mistakes and tell myself to not do the same things in the future, and that's it.

9. I love singing.
I may not sing well, I don't have a nice or unique voice and I am half tone deaf (because I can't match notes to their names, like A/B/C/etc), but I really like singing. I can sing for hours straight and still feel like singing afterwards. I usually can't stand awkward situations, but in a karaoke place, as long as everyone likes singing (important caveat here), it should never be awkward!

10. I am a direction idiot.
I can never remember directions to places and I have trouble reading the map. I need a GPS installed in my brain. Like, seriously.

11. I love looking at stars.
Stars are always there at night, but most of the time we can't see them, either because of the lights or fog. That's why I feel lucky when I look up and happen to see a starry night, not the mention the fact that it's just really pretty :).

12. I love Jay Chou.
I love Jay Chou....'s music (laugh). I still remember how years ago when my brother borrowed his 七里香 album from a friend I took one look at the cover and wondered out loud how such an ugly person could become so famous, but then he started playing the album and I was totally blown away. I love his music, whether it's the 中国风, the ballads, the rock/rap songs, the happy-go-lucky pop songs or the quirky I-don't-even-know-what-they-are songs. A lot people say that he never changes, and that his songs sound the same, but I beg to differ. Yes, his music has a certain "Jay" feeling to it, like even before you know it's his song you'd get an inkling that it was, but there isn't one single thing that defines Jay's music, for it's really quite diverse. Uhm, okay, I didn't mean to rant. But anyway, yeah, I love Jay Chou's music, and so, I love him. He can do whatever he wants, as long as he keeps making good music. I can go on and on, but yeah, the bottom line is, I love Jay :).

13. I really don't like the cold wind blowing at night.
It always makes me go all emo.

14. I hardly ever remember my dreams.
Moments before being fully awake I may think, "I had a good/bad dream," but minutes after I'd completely forget what the dream was about. Wonder if that's a good or a bad thing.

15. I like drinking.
THERE, I said it.
