About Me:
Hi2U. I am just a 17yr old kid who is just like any other teen you can find in your neighbourhood. This is my weblog which you are viewing. I think that behind every cool kid there is a weblog. Really! =))

Listening
I would not want you to call me an eavesdropper thus just take it that im listening to some emo/punk-rock music instead of conversation between the maid-next-door flirting with her bangla boyfriend.

Reading
I have a strong objection against people who thinks i am of bankrupt intellect so i am listing a bunch of intellectual-sounding books here even though i may or may not read some of them.


Viewing
Since I can’t list my porn collection here, I’ll just leave it this way until I can force myself to watch non-pornographic stuff, which may or may not happen.
BE SMART HERE.






Cultural Changes

Come to think of it. The trend among teenagers and those that just graduated from the teens world changes very fast.

I remember 6-7 years ago. Everyone is so crazy over japanese drama and anything japanese. There are also many japanese drama showing on television.

Now the craze in on Korean drama and stuffs.

No matter how i think, i think japanese > Korean dramas. Even for the songs.
I don't know how to describe but from just a look you can tell the japanese produces quality but korean somehow produces just quantity.

We take the dramas for example. Jap dramas are like in variety and then Korean dramas are in quantity. Every korean shows is the same. It's like 1 guy 2 girl or 2 guys 1 girl or 2 guys 2 girls. Get what i mean? All the love-hate relationships. Then comes the point that every shows are those teary and stuffs. When it first came to singapore maybe its refreshing. After a while it starts to get on the nerves. People go Korean this Korean that. I must admit japanese shows sometimes have sucky ending like suspense or shitty type which like all die or not a really happy ending. BUT you have to agree from start to near the ending, the whole storyline is of QUALITY. Recently i watched the anime movie, The Girl Who Lept Through Time. It's really damn nice. Just that the ending is a suspense.

Look at the music industry now. The only Korean singer i can say has quality is Kwon BoA. She really bridge the gap between 2 countries. STILL she sings in both languages. Japan produces many quality musicians along the way, Ken Hirai, Zard, Yui, Younha, V6 and many others like Kinki Kids and especially those who writes songs for animes. Their music is often used by artiste all over the world and translated into their own language. For example's Ken Hirai's Gaining Through Losing, used by F4 (Taiwanese Boyband) - Liu Xing Yu(Meteor). If you ask me to compare, the quality of both songs are heaven and earth. LOL. Ken Hirai is like a skyscraper and the latter is just like a terrace house. Ken Hirai's most famous Hitomi wo Tojite also is so well recognised. If you watch many movies, concerts, look through the music production of many artistes, you will see japanese names appearing. Credits in movie's, Japanese names bound to appear, especially in the music section of the movie.

i shan't comment about the country itself because first of all i dont know either very well and also quite a sensitive issue.

Just want to know how come Japanese craze died out in Singapore and how in the world did a Korean craze take over the country with the spark of Winter Sonata. Is it advertising plays sucha big part? that it becomes Quantity > Quality?

I am confused.

OMG YESSS
I agree about most K-dramas, I don't understand why they are so popular they are basically the same plot with different details. I haven't watched in a while, so maybe it's changed recently, but it seems to always start in childhood where something tragic happens, then flashes forward where one guy is rich and the other isn't, or one girl is rich and the other isn't, or both, and everybody likes each other or something then somebody gets sick and they all cry and WORST SHOW EVER

Sorry about the rant, but I always see people loving them and I feel left out. At least they got some good historical drama... at least the ones I've seen
