8 October 2010

Okay, I can't help gushing over this awesome girl group!

They are so cool, so beautiful. Makes me want to be in a girl band too. It would be so much fun, don't you think?

I've just heard their new song "Higher", and I loved it the first time I heard it (which was within 20 minutes ago)! Seldom do I LOVE songs the first moment I heard them, normally I'd have to listen to them a few more times, then I'd like them. Most of Lady Gaga's songs are like that, and lots of Korean songs too.

I know I have rambled about this on Facebook, but, well, this is me! And like I have probably said before, it's not like I have anyone else to talk to in this house except my soft toys. So, I'm seeking ... uh, refuge, in my blog!

The video's brilliant! Okay, maybe not exactly brilliant like ... I don't know. It doesn't have amazing choreography, it doesn't have a particular story line, it doesn't have any handsome guys in it (not that I'd know, since I couldn't take my eyes off the girls, haha) ...

I'm gonna say this and probably repeat it 10000000 times again :

FRANKIE IS STINKING FINKING GORGEOUS!!!!

How? How can there be such a pretty person in the world? Fine, I know there are lots and lots of beautiful people in the world, like Victoria's Secret Models (which I have always referred to my friends who are unfamiliar with VS as 'the place where the most beautiful people from all over the world is "accumulated"'!

But somehow I think they're on different levels, they are so glamorous, more ... sophisticated somehow, and they're MODELS (as if that explains anything).

Frankie ... I don't know, she seems more like a .... uh, normal person? Like maybe, a person you'd see walking on the streets, but a very rare and jaw-droppingly pretty one.

Okay. I think I'm not making sense. Haha. Blame it on the distracting video.

I really like her hair, dammit. But I think you'd have to have an excellent face shape and bone structure (plus a super straight and 'high' nose) to pull it off. At first I hated how she dyed her hair blonde-ish, but after watching the video, I love it.

She looks coooool. And she has the most perfect tan! I (along with many other people) love the part in the video when she sings while sitting on the bench, where one of the girls put her arm around the other girl, then to another girl and cross their legs and stuff.

Love what all of them were wearing in the video!!! Gosh. And they all have such great bodies, it's unfair. Vanessa's sleeveless denim jacket and high-waisted, poofy skirt are so cute, they're what I would wear! Frankie's is cool as well, all black, complements her skin and body perfectly. ROCHELLE'S DRESS!!! To die for. Saw a lot of people commenting on it as well. It's cute! Mollie? Cute on her, but not something I would (or I should say, COULD, as I'll never be able to pull it off in a million years) wear. Una's denim romper suits her so well, and the part where she belts out all the high notes is nice. :)

I Googled the biographies of the girls just now, and I was so stunned and surprised to find out how much more older than the other girls Una is. Unless if the site has got its facts wrong! She looks so young! HER EYES, HAIR, BODY AND ACCENT = DEADLY COMBINATION.

Right, I totally neglected mentioning their accents. They all have such sexy accents! Especially Una, Frankie and Vanessa. Eeeeek.

GAHHHH I can't get over them. I think I'm going crazy.

Besides all their looks and physical appearances, which are bonuses, their songs are actually nice too! Yes, I know I have mentioned it in the previous post. Can't resist saying it again, LOL. 'Ego' and 'Work' are both nice songs too! 'Up' is not bad too but I can't stop thinking about the weird video (from which I print-screened the heart-shaped clutch and gorgeous peep-toes!) where the girls all dance like robots or Barbies or I don't know what. Their clothes there are still wonderful though.

Sigh I want pretty clothes too! I've already moaned and wailed to my friends about my ... err, tragedy? (no it's not about money if that's what you are thinking) when it comes to buying clothes. It is super hard to buy clothes for my body type, and it sucks so bad. :(

Okay, it's time for bed!!! Sorry if I bored you. If anyone actually have read this, haha.

U Smile, I Smile :)

4 October 2010

Scroll down for the photos!
(Top part is, as usual, nonsensical babblings)

I'm feeling good today!

Must be because I'm listening to the song 'U Smile', which makes me, well, smile. It's a very ... smiley song! Haha. JB sort of sounds like a girl at the end, but it's a nice song!

I'm listening to songs from The Saturdays too. Love the songs Missing You, Forever is Over and Issues at the moment. And I totally love their videos! They all look so pretty, and wear the most gorgeous clothes and shoes. ESPECIALLY shoes.



Worn by Frankie.

A little black dress with bright orange tights, orange nails, an orange heart-shaped clutch from which she took out the orange heart-shaped ring she was wearing on her finger. So cute!!!

My dream shoes kind of sort of look something like that. No, wait. ONE of my dream shoes kind of sort of look something like that. Peep-toe Mary-Janes!


Frankie is sooooo gorgeous, no matter with long or short hair. But personally I prefer her with short hair like in the Issues video, she looks cooler! Don't like her current blond hair though. She suits dark hair better! But she STILL is stinking gorgeous. Hrrmph. And she has the prettiest eyes!

And Una is sexxxay. Like her tumble of red curls and her eyes which look sort of blank but sexy. Haha. I do think she looks better in videos than in photos though.

Vanessa has an awesome voice, and she looked awesome in the Forever is Over video! The purplish-red highlights/extensions are to die for.

I LOVE the trench coats, coloured scarfs and sleek boots they wore in the video of Issues! Damn. Why is it perpetually SUMMER here? Okay I know I'd probably freeze to death if there are four seasons in Malaysia. I can barely stand air-conditioning sometimes.

And I LOVE how they danced by the sea wearing all those floaty bikini cover-ups, with the breeze blowing their long (except for Frankie's) hair about. Arrgh. Come on, who wants to go dance by the sea with me? :P

OKAY. End of nonsense, for now.

Here are the way overdue photos I took at Klang. Hehe. *sheepish smile* (damn the U Smile song is really disgustingly ... smiley, it has had me smiling like a maniac for awhile now)


There's a glimpse of the stamps inside the tiny card!

Actually I have no idea whether the stamp on the left is a fake or it can really be used. I mean! It has the "Malaysia 30 sen" thing printed on it after all. But the stamp has an unusually cheery heart print, unlike the kind of stamps you'd normally see, so .... maybe not.



My sister totally couldn't keep her eyes open. Just like Jo in the photos he took during his graduation day. Hahaha.


There, better. But I look horrible-r here.



This, is my extremely adorable cousin (uh, my cousin's daughter actually, no idea what I'm to call her). Her name is Yeap Yee or Yip Yi, not sure about the spelling. She's born and lives in USA, the lucky girl.

Anyway, I stalked her the whole night like a ... paedophile? Okay, no.


My eye was so sore and red after I came out of the shower, no idea why, but I wore my contact lenses anyway. Haha. What a girl would do for beauty, LOL.


I think my sister needs a hair cut. Even though she just had one some 3 or 4 days before this photos was taken. xD


Here's the beautiful bride! Yes, her eyes are very large. Like this! O_O



Isn't she CUTE???? She's going to be a gorgeous girl when she grows up, she looks absolutely lovely when she smiles! She smiles, we smile!!!! :D

Sorry. Blame it on the song. Hahaha.




I think my young cousin on the left looks like the groom. Haaa.


Another one of my adorable flower girl cousins!


The flower girl's brother. =_=

He is super cute too, but very cheeky and obstinate. I heard my aunt say that their family arrived late at the wedding because he wouldn't put his clothes on, haha.


Aww. They look so sweet.

Hey, I have never been a flower girl or bridesmaid or anything before. Is it any fun? I suppose it's a good thing I have never been one before. I'd probably trip or do something to humiliate myself. =.=



Great food. ESCARGOTS! Disgusting. But nice. Hahaha.

The shark fin soup was presented as shown in the second photo above! Pretty interesting, unlike how they usually dump a large bowl with a ladle in the middle of the table, and you scoop the soup into smaller bowls yourself.

Well, the sad thing is, I don't eat shark fin soup. Heh. I don't know why. I don't find it particularly revolting or anything, I'm not an 'environmentalist' like my cousin said. Don't ask. I just don't eat it.


My favourite photo of the day.

She looks like she's making a wish. She had such a hard time trying to blow out the 'candles'. :)



Oooh, just look at her furry vest, with silver sequins. I have never worn anything like that when I was young, hahaha.




That's the bride's mother, my 3rd aunt!

She looked so coooool with those red highlights in her hair, I was so stunned the moment I saw her. I have never seen anyone her age with sprayed-on highlights in their hair before. :P


I think this is an amusing photo! Cover the right side of the photo, and YY will look like a boy. Cover the left side, she looks like a girl.

The girl with the pigtails is ... well, we don't know who she is, but she's very friendly and amiable! Her name is Xuan Er (in Chinese). She just appeared at our table suddenly, and we all started playing and talking with her. Hahaha. Kids, they are so trusting! Shouldn't they not talk to strangers? :P


My sister and I both agreed that this girl looks like someone we know, we just haven't quite placed WHO yet. Guess I will never find out, because I'll probably never see this girl again.

God, I'm exhausted. A few more photos to go!!!! I think this is a boring post. Too many kids, hahahhah. Don't get me wrong, I like kids. But not all the time. And not all of them.


Xuan Er wearing my cousin's (the 2474th cousin, lol, I have to stop referring to everyone as 'my cousin') specs. So cute!

(I can't even bring myself to SOUND enthusiastic anymore. Zzzzzzz.)


We both look horrible here, hahahaha. Too tired, I guess.


The only photo where you can see our whole outfits. I specially requested my mom to take this photo! Since it's not every day we dress up all nice, wear dresses and heels.

I think this photo is not very flattering too, and the baby chair is ... distracting?

Okay. I have finally finished posting the photos. Hahahaha. How half-hearted. There's school tomorrow, and I'm going to Gurney with Ah Nee after school! Tireeeed.

Goodnight!!

U smile, I smile!!!! :)
