Apple? Sony? HP?

My laptop died again.
It was working perfectly in school. After i got home, I have no idea what happened, the drivers had an error and wouldn't open. I checked/scanned the drivers and restarted it, but to no avail. I tried using the address bar in the window to gain access to the drivers. I got in, but within 1 minute, a Blue screen flashed and tried to restart my com. It got stuck in the middle of restarting, so I went into DOS mode and set default setup configuration, thinking I could fix it.
Now, it reads "Operation System Not Found"
I was so dead.

I had no access to my half written report, which was due the next day. 2 reports to be exact. I panicked, broke down and trembled. I need my group mates to know that I'm in trouble. I need someone to come home quickly.

My kor managed to reach home in time. He couldn't help me with my report, if only it was on economics or law. Instead, he stayed up, went out to get supper, and got me Strawberry Frappucino at 3 in the morning. Now I know which brother I could count on in times of crisis.

My mom was reluctant to get me a new com at first. She wanted me to take her antique PC which runs on 256ram and 40gb hdd, and she blames the filled up hdd for slowing down the PC. *Rolls Eyes* The other PC has 160gb worth of data and it's 5 times faster than hers.

My dad got home on midnight and promised me a new laptop. =D
In the morning, when I was still up rushing reports, my mom relented and promised to get me a new 1 this weekend. *Big Grin*

So now, I'm window shopping online for notebook reviews and best buys.
Any recommendations?
It's either a Macbook (air needs too many external hardwares), Sony VAIO or HP.

Laptop Recommendations Which brand of laptop should I get? Macbook Sony VAIO Hwelett Packard Others view results

If your answer is others, tag me your recommendation.
I think I'm too involved in surveys... *Shakes Head*

The next time I blog again, I might be on a new com!
Whooopie!

Fast Attack!

I was toatally in GG mode this weekend.
Everything happened so quickly, my body didn't even give me any warnings like before.
I just collapse without even a chance to counter-attack.

My fever subsided in time for me to go pay my respect to my grandma for her 1st year anniversary. The journey was both physically and mentally painful. By the time I got home, I felt like I'm back to square one. "Panadol Please!"

Anyways, I've got loads of projects/ppt slides/reports undone and I've to do whatever I can until the Panadol loses its effect.
Just a quick post.
Starting from something subtle.

080119 TVXQ New Hair-Do

My guess it's for the Purple Line promos, judging from Yunho' s purple extentions.
TVXQ stylists must love Jaejoong looking like a manga character.
Jaejoong is back to his anime days.

A new song from their upcoming 3rd Japanese Album.
TVXQ- Rainbow {Eng}

I believe this is a style they have never tried before, and I must admit, it's kind of refreshing.
Really sweet and romantic.
I love Junsu's voice, it melts.

Now, for something a little disturbing (but sweet in the eyes of a TVXQ fan).

Famous HoSu moment in FITB Special DVD

I finally found a cut of this.
Although I don't really like the background music added and the slow-mo effects that adds alittle gross-factor to the actually really innocent and cute HoSu moment, but I don't really have a choice - A cut of this video is not easy to come by.
They have the longest friendship in the group. A moment like this should be cherished by all fans.
HoSu Saranghaeyo!

Edited:

Bangkok Offshot Movie - Junsu Birthday Cut

I think the best part was when Changmin presented Junsu his Bday present.
OMG!!
"Sorry Girls, I'm Gay."
ROFL!!!

Now calm down and listen to this.

Tohoshinki - Kissしたまま、さよなら (Kiss Shita Mama, Sayonara) Full Preview

Composed by TVXQ SoulMate - Jaejoong and Yoochun.
My review: 1 word = Talented.

Plead Guilty

Recently I haven't been able to do things leisurely without feeling guilt-stricken or burdened.
Even as I walk along the roads on Orchard, with the task of researching the site for the Orchard Revamp project for LAM, I'm taking mental note of how much time I have left for that day, planning the rest of the day with tasks to complete.
I've never felt so loaded in my brain, not even last semester, when I thought after the integrated reports would put a stop to everything.
Looks like things will only end when the examiner say "pens down" on my very last exam paper in all my 3 years of poly.

I've been so engrossed in building up worries in my mind, I'm starting to worry for people all around me.
My brother who's slacking in his studies, find me a nuisance for once.
My maid, who misses home, something I always knew for all the other maids, but only seem to care recently.
My friend, who slept in school for 2 weeks straight just for his internship. It wouldn't bug me so much in the past, but it seems to dwell on me now. He looks washed out, and all I can do is say "take care".

I think I'm possessed.
I don't feel like the usual self-centered, heck-care girl. I'm caring too much and taking up responsibilities forced onto me.
I think I should call this: Side Effects.

Anyways, despite feeling like a sinner, I'm still on YouTube.
Well, at least I know part of me is still intact and normal.
I still love my TVXQ.

TVXQ's rehearsal for Purple Line (Tell Me + SNSD)

Micky first started dancing to Wonder Girl's top hit Tell Me, then Changmin followed, and Junsu and Jaejoong caught it.
Jaejoong and Junsu are really good at it. Changmin and Micky just look weird in the dance.
And then they just had to add a little of the SNSD's dance.
It's afterall a cat-fight among the 2 girl groups and TVXQ can't neglect their SM dongsengs.
A fan translated for the benefit of Korean-illiterates:
Basically, Yunho's shouting out to their 'teacher'/'founder'/'manager'/'boss' LSM (The Big Boss of SM Entertainment). During the shout out, the rest started the "Tell Me" dance.
And when Yunho shows his gratitude and love for LSM, Micky (with the rest as accomplices) decides to tease LSM. They went like...
"We want to make you smile *Dances Tell Me* OH! It shouldn't be that *laughs* it should be this right *Dances to SNSD's Angtal"
Omg... They are just so cute!
The Purple Line dance is Tight!
Can't wait for the MV to be released.
Finally a good dance routine for the boys.
It's been awhile.

Talk about good dance routines.
Check this out:

Step Up 2 Movie Trailer

I'm so in for this movie.
The dances are Sex!
'Sex' in this context is an adjective that means it's so good that it gives you orgasm, so you use the word 'Sex' to describe it. -- Quoted from my bro who learnt it from his AC friends.
Anybody interested to join me?

What's wrong with my Yunho's Voice!?!?!

I'm freaking out.
I'm not sure if I should laugh or cry...
*Pulls Hair*

Firstly, TVXQ's new single's MV preview just got uploaded on YouTube.

TVXQ - Purple Line PV Preview

The guys look really good.
And I love the concept, really hot.
Except that I'm confused. Yunho did something to his voice.
I'm angry at myself for laughing at his voice. It's unforgivable, the voice and my laughter.
Comments on the song? *Sigh*
Let's not go that way...

Unfortunately, they have something new that might be worse than what they already have.
There's a radio rip of their new song Trick from the upcoming Japanese album to be released at the end of the month.

TVXQ - Trick (Radio Ripped)

I'm hearing Michael Jackson and Britney Spears in the song, is this a Trick?
Did Yunho change his voice again? or is it just the quality of the song?
*Shivers*

I can't wait!!! Super Junior and TVXQ's Exploration of the Human Body part 2 will be airing soon!!! By monday, there will be people frantically uplaoding raw versions of the show on YouTube, and hopefully by wednesday/thursday, someone (praying for Ginaya) will sub the episode for all the lovely TVXQ and Super Junior fans.

I've been soooooo packed with projects lately that I can't seem to find time for non-np friends. I seriously need to escape from school-life and run away from my project woes.

......then again, maybe not. I'll take back what I say. I want to remain as a student for as long as I can. I can't imagine life without school. *Shrugs*

Guess what? Jay Chou Fans! Jay went to Seoul to promote his movie "Secret". So please, Zw, don't hate S.Koreans, they love Jay Chou too!

When Super Junior meets Jay Chou (Secret Movie Premiere)

2 Big Stars in 1 Occassion!!
Hmm.. then again, are the fans there for Super Junior or Jay Chou?
If so, shouldn't Jay thank Super Junior for sharing their fans with him?
LeeTuek (and the boys) obviously watched the movie and is impressed with Jay's Piano skills in the movie.
Oh, and obviously, HanKyung, the only chinese-speaking Super Junior should be there to exchange a few words.
HanKyung is like Super Junior's ticket to the Chinese entertainment industry.
Nice Move! SM Entertainment.

Grrr!! I'm so jealous!!

SNSD - Kissing U

Hands off! Donghae is Mine!!!
Ahh~ Donghae looks so cute in here!

Oh dear... I love the MV but did you just say the song is sung in english?

Big Bang - How Gee

I know this is stupid, since it's in english, but I'm trying to find english subs for this MV.
Anyways, SeungRi, my no.1 BigBang dude is the guy in the afro. Cuteness!
This is supposedly for their First Japanese Album.
Why is it in English, you ask. Beats me, but they have their reasons.

I'm just trying very hard to Blindly follow my Favourites (incl. TVXQ) when things like that happen.
Lastly, I would like to end with a lesson for today:
Forgive and Forget.
Life seems easier that way.

DongBangShinKi and Super Junior LOVE

I'm getting anxious!!
As I'm typing this, Super Junior's New Good Sunday: Exploration of the Human Body with TVXQ as the 1st Guest for the new year, is being Aired on Korea's SBS station!!

I'm praying that YouTube's gomdorri (a YouTube user who subs this variety show) will hurry and get it uploaded asap. Every second is a torture!!


Yunho needs a Desperate Haircut!!
While hating Yunho's hair, I'm growing to love Changmin's hair more and more.

Their Japan album "T" is releasing in 23rd January, which I'm totally not excited about. Seriously. Their new Japanese songs are getting more and more disappointing.
Finally I'm gonna agree on my 1st Dong Bang Friend, I can't wait till they return to Korea for their 4th Korean album. Ahhh... is this like the 1st thing we would agree on??

But no matter how much i hate their Japanese songs, TVXQ matters the most. Despite having 3 different version of the album, obviously designed to suck money out of fans like me, I'll willingly spend it on the most beneficial version (which is most often the most expensive of the lot).

Come to think about it, it's really about time for TVXQ to release a new Korean album. They've been performing O.Jung.Ban.Hap for more than a year already.
"Hellooo SM! We need some fresh air."

My 2 Favourite TVXQ Couple in Action:

Fanmade YunJae

I thought this was really nicely done.

Yoosu cut from Banjun Drama

Well, although the limelight is on Yoosu, but Jaejoong's final pout was also GweeYeopDa!

*Ahem*
I know it's a little late. Just pass the 12 days of christmas and a week of new year.
But Kibum spoke in english and I thought he sounded sexy!

This was for Thailand's Channel V, which explains why Kibum was the 1 talking and TVXQ had to greet in English.

And MUST WATCH!
2007's Mini Musical Shindong and Donghae Cut

Omg! This is hilarious!
I think only Kpop lovers will understand.

I've been so inactive on blogs recently since school started and projects and reports are piling up.
I can hardly find time for myself and before you know it, I'd have graduated and left stranded in nowhere, searching for a new route in life.

Happy 2008 to All!
And to those who are of the same age as me (and did not give me money problems in the last few months of last year - referring to those who Just turned 19)
Enjoy your last few months/days while you can.
Hitting the Big 2 means a lot in the adults' world.

Good luck being stuck in the middle of "The end of a decade in life" and "The start of real adulthood".
Dang! Turning from 9 years old to 10 years old didn't seem as difficult.
