[Review] Innisfree - it's real squeeze mask Aloe

Name: Innisfree - Aloe

Price range: Around RM4

Functions: Moisturizing, water-boost

Review: Once I opened the packet, I can smell a light yet pleasant plant scent. Guess this is the trademark of Innisfree - the scent of nature. It is very soothing. I would say it could be perfect after a 
long day under the sun. When it comes to facial masks, I would highly recommend Innisfree to my friends and family.

Available at Innisfree outlets.

[Review] Mentholatum Maxilip

Product: Mentholatum Maxilip

Function: Lip care, moisturizing. Good for crack-lips.

Color: None.

Price range: Around RM18.90

Review: I love this product straight on-the-spot! It serves as lip balm and gives long lasting lip moisturizing. I was having severe crack-lip lately, and once I start applying this, I could observe the result within hours. Now my crack-lip has improved alot. No more dried lip skin peeling off :DD

[Review] My Scheming 我的心机 Skin Clarifying Astringent Mask

Name: My Scheming 我的心机 Skin Clarifying Astringent Mask

Price: RM3 - RM5

Function: Skin purifying

Review: The mask has two layers. Peel out the plastic layer with caution to retrieve the thin layer which made of silk. To take note, this silk layer is super thin that it can be so easily tear off with a slight force. I still failed to get a perfect complete mask after two attempts. Other than that, nothing much to comment.

Taiwan product.

[Review] Innisfree - it's real squeeze mask Rose

Name: Innisfree Smooth and Shine Rose Paper Mask

Price: RM3 - RM5

Functions: Giving you a smooth and shine face

Review:
It is widely renowned that Innisfree has the best paper masks at this price range. It is a Korean-brand, so it pretty much explains why the size of the mask best suits Asians. Its relatively smaller in size, but it fits perfectly with less excessive parts and overlapping.
In terms of this particular paper mask, the Rose scent is fairly pleasant. Although I am not really a rose-goer, I find myself quite enjoy the scent of this mask.

Available at all Innisfree outlets.


[Review] B Travel Angelica Arcangelica Mask Paris

Name: B Travel Angelica Arcangelica Mask - Paris

Price range: RM4 - RM6

Functions: For tired skin. Brightening.

Review: The texture of the mask is so thin that it lands on your face tightly and fits almost all kinds of faces, be it round or square. Basically that's the best part I love about this mask.

Available at SaSa.

BTS - 핸드폰좀 꺼줄래 (Can You Turn Off Your Phone)





From BTS' Album "Dark&Wild".

First upload in da new year 2015 ^^ Please do cherish the time you spend with your friends/family. Don't take selca of yourself or with your meals, take it together with your friends! Most of all, please turn off your phone ma friend ;)

Background vocals: BTS

CR: Big Hit Entertainment, BTS, Pdogg and all the right owners.
All right reserved. I make no profit of this fan-made cover.

["Can You Turn Off Your Phone" English Lyrics Translation]

#Would you turn off your cellphone
Although everyone’s ‘smart’
We’re gradually becoming dumber
Would you turn off your cellphone
Look at my face and send a mention
I don’t need a ‘LIKE’

You said you’re going to the bathroom through your phone
That's somewhat sense of humor and you slightly laugh about it
I don’t find it funny at all
You, who I saw in months
How come you gained popularity suddenly?
Did you win the lottery?

What do you mean the lottery? Focus yourself!
You changed to a new phone, my friend
This is the information age, as you probably know
Over half of citizens of Republic of Korea are the smart 21st century
Talking while looking at each other’s faces is a story that happened a long time ago

Long time no see, so why are we fighting like this again
Phone? Let's have a meal first
"Do you have a girlfriend?"
"Your new phone is regrettable."
"I don’t want to be like Youngsoo who went to the army.."
Please come true, magic
"Where do you want to go?" "Ah, I want to go there."
"I think this place is the best hotspot."
"What are we going to do after eating? Let’s not go to the boring PC room."
No, wait, when someone's talking, would you please just...

# Chorus 1

*You unlock it with a slide, you unlock it with a slide
I hated it your (‘tak’)
I hated it your (‘shoong’)
You unlock it with a slide, you unlock it with a slide
Click it, your (snap snap)
Click it, your (snap)

Do you eat food with you eyes?
Could you not take pictures like some childish girls?
I’m losing my appetite
You’re probably busy updating Facebook or Tweeting again
Life is 3D
Tweet at me while looking at my face

Tweet tweet, you tap tap and Kekek
Rice are dropping out and hitting your phone hundred times
That's right, please focus yourself, can you hear me
While your phone can be charged when it is out of battery, do you think our friendship can be recharged?

Would you turn off your cellphone
Or put it in your pocket
Although recently everyone has become smart and the generation has become better, it’s two times faster
I miss it sometimes, the times where we would look at each other’s faces and share a conversation
Although our amount of conversing has increasing,
there’s only a loud silence between us

# Chorus 1

Messages and selcas, I don’t need it all
Neither do I care of cellphones or food, I came to see you
This really isn’t right
What kind of relationship are we having?
Even just a simple laugh, we were truly happy after all

#Chorus 1

*Chorus 2

March 3 - 2015 CNY Event Performance

哇啊啊啊啊~
这一天终于来临了!
我们苦练了大约3个月的时间就是等今天。(“苦练”也许用词有点夸张)


先介绍一下我们的团队贝~

“我们不是CN Blue。我们是C~N~ Red~!”
这就是我们和大家介绍的台词。

C.N. Red (HAHAHA)

团长兼副吉他手兼cajon手——Albert a.k.a. Ah Bert(图左上角)
吉他手——Wai Hoe a.k.a. Ah Lance (图右上角)
主唱—— Mayee a.k.a. Ah May (图左下角)和 Sakura a.k.a. Ah Sa(剩下一个就是我啦~)


我们当晚表演的是“串烧歌曲”,就是一连串的歌曲,像《情歌王》那样。
很棒的体验!^^
真的希望我们能够一起同台表演~ 不过这学期是我们其中3人的最后一个学期 T^T
不过,回忆还是最珍贵滴~

**上传录音的过程中遇到困难。

February 12 —— 隐形眼镜恐惧症

第二个事件了!
距离上一次刚好一年。
我又遇上了“隐形眼镜不见了”的恐惧。
就当别人的正常反应就是“看不到它就代表它已经掉了”的时候,
我却一直深信它还是在我眼球里的一个角落。
或许它是折着了。
还是贴住了眼皮。
等等等……

分不出到底是心理病,还是真的它还在里面,
这一个星期来我都战战兢兢、觉得眼睛痒痒的、不舒服。

我真的是那种“看不到就不会相信的人”呢!
正因为我看不到它的踪影,我就打死不相信它不在我眼球里。

哦对
上一次事件是一片完整的隐形眼镜。
这一次是隐形眼镜的一部分,大概1/3不见了。
就在拿出隐形眼镜的那一瞬间愣傻了。

噢拜托拜托
我真的希望这是心理病,而不是真的那部分还留在眼睛里……(叹气)

HyoEun's List - KPOP Male Rappers + Song Recommendations

안녕하세요! ^^
(An-Nyeong-Ha-Se-Yo!)

Recently I watched videos where they share their own favourite KPOP rappers
And I thought of doing the same too :D

Since everyone has their own taste in music
I won't judge

Here I'm going to share to you some of my favourite KPOP male rappers (REAL rappers!)
Just to name a few...

Feel free to click and play the music.
(For better understanding purpose, I've tried to share videos with English Subs.)

Let's start the rap party! *^^*

P/S: Purely for sharing purpose.



Tablo & Mithra (Epik High)


One of the legends. A song that tells us not to forget our dream.
Rap doesn't always goes with hard beat and gangsta.
It can be as lively as it could be.
Epik High proves it possible. :)



Tablo & Mithra (Epik High) / Beenzino / Verbal Jint / Mino (WINNER) / B.I & Bobby (iKON)



A song that gathered 7 cool rappers.
Without losing each of their rapping style, the song was performed epik-ly gooood.
Way to go! Show 'em the real rap thing!!



Gary (Leessang)


Not to forget, another Hip Hop Legend (I would say so)... Leessang
The duo started to gain increasingly attention and popularity ever since Gary (lead rapper) starred in the K-Industry well-known tv variety show - Running Man
They may not like other KPOP male idol groups always on the tv, but their musics are good!
Besides of Gary's recognizable voice, his rapping sounds so naturally like he is talking to you.
<Poison Gas> (or Malice), is one of my favourite songs from them..
It gets addictive once I listened to it... not sure does it goes same to you?



MC Mong


Another KPOP industry sunbae (or senior).
The music he made have this... I don't know how to explain... something like hidden attractiveness that people tend to click the replay button, over and over again
I choose a recent song of his - Miss Me or Diss Me
And I think you would be able to get me after you listen to it.



Mad Clown


Honestly, I don't know much about Mad Clown before his collaboration with Soyou (the girl in the picture above; a member of girl group - SISTAR)
He has his own style of rapping which I find it interesting and enjoyable
Even his live performance sounded just the same as the recording!
p/s: he has a cute look with the round specs.. but don't underestimate him



G-Dragon (BIG BANG)



What should I say?
I mean, its obvious.
The icon of KPOP industry.
It's hard for me to choose one song from him which I like the most. So I chose one each from his two albums. Also his title songs.
Not to forget <This Love> <Breathe> <Crayon> <Crooked> <Who You> <Coup D'etat>
... and more!
The beats are very addictive!



Yong Jun Hyung (BEAST)


When you talk about KPOP rapper, how can you possibly not to put him into the list?
His rap lines may seems simple or easy to understand, but how about matching it with the rhythm?
How you present your lines, conveying your message to the listeners are more important, I think.
He is also the music producer for his group - BEAST... which I admire his talent a lot
p/s: do you realize their songs always hit onto the top of music chart?



Zico / Park Kyung / P.O (Block B)


Left to right: Kyung, Zico, P.O

From the group name itself you would understand their music concept.
Hip Hop. Rap. Gangsta. Boys behind the block.
Well three of them don't really debut as a sub-unit group (the rapper line), so in order to show you their rapping, I found this video.
Honestly I just only listened to this song few minutes ago before writing this post.
Free and easy rapping, ... I like it!
Check out their Block B songs: <Nanlina> <Nilini Mambo> <Jackpot>



Bang Yong Guk / Zelo (B.A.P)


Bang Yong Guk's charismatic and magnetic voice - Zelo's crazy fast rapping
Girls just like it! *~*
Check out their B.A.P songs: <Warrior> <Power> <One Shot>



Rap Monster /SUGA / J-Hope (BTS)



BangTan (means, Bulletproof)
One of the few idol groups that claimed to be a Hip-Hop concept group
A little facts about the rapper line (Rap Monster, SUGA, J-Hope)...
They actually write rap lyrics for their own part, everytime (not like some other groups which only know how to sing/rap, but they don't know anything about expressing themselves individually)
And SUGA is one of the music producers for his own group
Very talented group, don't you agree?
(I know it sounded a bit bias... err... can't help :p )


Short caption on the video clips:

Video 1: 'Satoori' basically means 'dialect' in Korean. SUGA and J-Hope are actually rap in their own mother tongue, which it sounded much different from the proper/official Korean pronunciation, which was later done by RM.
Video 2: Heard of Eminem's cypher before? Well.. basically that's the concept. Currently there are three cyphers performed by the boys. Part 1, 2, 3. Particularly, I like Pt. 2 the most! :D



Ilhoon (BTOB)


His name is ilhoon, with an "i" in the front
Relatively young rapper in the KPOP music industry
But he has his unique rapping skills
Young, yet sounded mature
Btw, do you think his voice sounds like another guy?
Hint: A guy who was mentioned earlier in this post...
Check out BTOB songs: <WOW> <Irresistible Lips> <Second Confession> 



And its the end of today's sharing session :'(


Wait a minute!!

DID you just scroll from up to down, glancing through? :O
COME ON... Click into one of it and give it a try ;)
And who knows, you actually would enjoy it.

To re-emphasize, the aritists and songs above are just my favourites and recommendation to you.
Yet there are many more talented artists out there, I admit

Hope you have a good time :D

'Til the next time~
