The Ellen DeGeneres Show (TV Show Blog Post)

So while studying for my tests, in my procrastination time I decided to go watch some videos of "Heads Up" on theellenshow on YouTube
Here's a video featuring Robin Williams
Robin Williams Plays 'Heads Up!', Uploaded by TheEllenShow, Nov 21, 2013

Most of these videos gave me a good laugh, and there are other segments which have really gave me a good laugh too. Overall, watching so many of her videos on YouTube has made me realise how funny she really is. Though I miss the TV airings, I catch up with the YouTube videos, though they're always incomplete.

Some of my recommendation clip titles: Clumsy Thumbsy, Heads Up!, What's Wrong With These Photos?(Though sometimes there's some variations in the title), Guesstures, In Your Facebook!, Bad Gifts From Facebook + there's so many more, and almost all gives you a good laugh.

Sometimes I need a good laugh, and it's hard for me to laugh at comedy. Back to reviews tomorrow probably, otherwise Monday, bye!

Chore Games (Blog Post)

So sorry everyone! I'm so tired today so just a quick post. Do you play any chore games? On Facebook I used to play ones by playfish all the time(restaurant city, pet society etc), i also used to play travian, and also Tekken Revolution but i won't go into much detail here. These days I must play the Sight training game every day to get the stamp on the calendar each day(those games seem to always be addicting) and also I play Clash of Clans a lot, just to upgrade everyday. In the end I get fed up and quit altogether,  and in the past i have also caused a laptop to break, and also a dvd player, so don't ask me how it happened, but games can be bad for you, especially addicting daily chore games, stay away from them!!!!

That's my word of wisdom today, goodnight!

Fujifilm Instax Instant Camera (Camera Review)

Just a quick review on the camera. I got given it on Saturday, and started to quickly get used to it.
I myself have studied photography so I know a bit about cameras. Here I will just quickly talk about what I like/ dislike about this camera etc. I don't have much time today, and almost ran out of time today. ><

Anyway, the photos are a bit rectangular, not square as you may thing, but that's alright. You load a pack of 10 in the camera. It does take a lot of double A batteries though so they could have done a battery pack or something for it?? The camera is very basic though, just a button to take the picture, and a few light settings, so like indoor, outdoor, sunny lighting etc. I'm not quite sure if it can take a picture without a flash though, though pictures can become dark when the camera is far away because the flash doesn't reach the people/ person/ thing.

I wish that you could have the option to manually focus though(if it can then I need to take a look at it) But I really like this camera anyway. It's really fun and addicting to just snap pictures. Cost cam be a problem. I bought a 50 pack for $50 which was not too bad, but it can be more expensive.

Overall it's a pretty good, simple camera. Sorry, this blog was rushed, I may edit or do another one in the future. Well until then, bye!

K-Pop, Why Do I Listen To It? (Blog Post)

This is going to be a blog post about why I listen to K-Pop. So you've seen a few of my posts on K-Pop, but there are people who ask me why I listen to it, especially because I am not Korean. I believe that music is universal, and anyone who speaks any language can enjoy any song. I myself didn't really get into K-Pop until early last year after my cousin introduced me more into it.

Back in the day, I used to only listen to English language music, this was right up until 2010 ended, then something happened to me, I didn't enjoy much English music from 2011+ . I believe that music has evolved for most countries, but none more so than English music. It's hard to explain, but when you take a look at what the songs deals with, then you realise what they're really talking about, but I won't go into detail on what almost everyone are covering their lyrics on(at least the more popular songs), but I felt like they were being used too much, and I felt like a change.

I escaped to more Chinese songs for a while, and back to the older English songs, but even I find the newer Chinese songs are a bit the same to the English style. With K-Pop you have the dancing(very in time), lyrics/ topics which most other languages don't sing about, and catchy music, all with the elaborate packaged albums and awesome looking hairstyles, something I think English albums are slowly being influenced by.

So I'm not saying newer English music is bad or anything. I still listen to the occasional songs, but what this post is more explaining is why I listen to K-Pop music. I've also found that people wonder why you would listen to music which I don't understand. Although some of their lyrics are partly in English, a majority is Korean. This is something English music can't do, though they get around this by mixing up slangs etc, though most people don't notice when it happens.

So yeah, anyway, I hope that explains my K-Pop music history, and why I listen to it. Though the majority of music I listen to is in Mandarin (did you know that some K-Pop groups release Chinese albums (mostly in Mandarin)??), my main area is local Malaysian artists. The style I listened to as a child has changed me to the way I am today and what type of music I listen to,

Post is getting too long so I'll stop it here. Goodnight!!

Cooking Mama 2 (DS Game Review)

Hey everyone! I'll be quickly reviewing the game Cooking Mama 2. So if you've played the first game, then just to let you know, there's not much of a difference, though almost all the sequels are similar, though I think some of the latest releases are more 3D.

As the game suggests, you cook different dishes by preparing ingredients and cooking them with a time limit. If you do it within a certain time limit then you get a bonus reward which is a star. 5 stars(I think, though it could be more) and you get to pick out of 3 presents. Sometimes you'll get nothing, and sometimes yo get a little prize.

Each new dish completed unlocks a new dish, until they're all unlocked. You get a score out of 100(which is a gold), silver, bronze, or broken medal depending on how well you cooked. If you do a bad job for one step, then Mama fixes it for you.

Overall I find the game really fun, but it can destroy your DS screen if you're not careful so watch out for that! Depending on what dishes you cook, the steps can be a bit repetitive, but I can play this game for many hours on end!

I give this game a 7/10, why not play it some time? It's pretty fun, and it's one of my childhood games!! Well until next time, bye!

Selena Gomez & the Scene, Kiss & Tell (Album Review)

So I haven't done any album reviews before so I might do more in the future, but you might realise that these will be shorter than reviews such as movies or TV shows.

The album "Kiss and Tell", released on September 29, 2009 by Hollywood Records is the debut studio album by Selena Gomez and the Scene. There are 13 tracks:
1. Kiss and Tell
2. I Won't Apologize
3. Falling Down
4. I Promise You
5. Crush
6. Naturally
7. The Way I Love You
8. More
9. As a Blonde
10. I Don't Miss You at All
11. Stop & Erase
12. I Got U
13. Tell Me Something I Don't Know

I have to say that there's only a select few songs that I quite like, with my favourite being "Naturally", but there's quite a few songs which arn't as catchy as I liked when I first heard them. I'd have to give this album a 6/10. It's not a bad album at all, though the future albums get better.

Ladies' Code Sad News (K-Pop News)

So I don't know if you have head this news yet but on September 3, 2014 members of Ladies' Code were involved in a severe car accident as their van lost a wheel and ran into a protective wall. Member EunB died while the remaining 6 passengers were injured. Today I learnt about the death of Rise, another member of the group. I can't help but feel very sad about this news. Even though I did not really know about this group, until quite recently, it's very unfortunate to such talented, young women. I hope that the remaining members make a full recovery(haven't really heard much information about them) but most of my news comes from allkpop so if you want to know k-pop news then you can visit that site for more information.

Hopefully something like this never happens ever again. I myself am lucky to have found out about this group and will buy all their albums soon :) Remember to cherish your life and make the most of it, as you never know when the end will come to you, and the people close to you.
