Lack of Sleep

It has been a month since the first time I started to sleep at midnight. Dunno why, I just can't sleep before midnight. Am I a vampire then? Hahaha.. Well, I just want to bring this blog to live again after.. I dunno.. 2 months? This blog is very dead. Huft, I don't know why, but I'm a bit losing my sense of writing. And yeah, last month, I started to write an OnKey fic, but then, it's now hiatus. I wish I could get it back. I hate to not finish a fic, but this head has no space to think such a thing. But you know what? Despite of those things, I had accomplished one of my new year wish: buying new glasses. And about being a good-sixteen-years-old girl, I think I still have to struggle.

Okay, this is the end of the show.

SHINee's Vocal Review

Annyeong! Long time no see. Fuah, I've busy lately, sorry for no update. Well, in this post, as the title said, I will give reviews about SHINee's individual vocal ability. I'm not an expert in this kind of field, indeed. But I love to identify a person's voice. And please, whoever read this, no bashing. Though my bias are Onew and Key, I'll try as fair as possible. And again, it is just in my opinion, not an absolute score. Okay guys, check it out! :)

----------

Onew (Lee Jinki)



This guy, what can I say? Onew has a very very nice timbre. He has a smooth, slick voice, but at the same time it can be so deep and powerful. He's not only having a nice timbre, but also delivering every song he sings wholeheartedly. He sings both ballad and uptempo perfectly without losing the 'character' of his voice. By only listening to a couple line, you will surely recognize his voice. And the next point is, you will never get bored listening to his voice. He surely knows how to use his voice. But I think he needs to use his falsetto more often since he often cracks his voice because he's forcing his 'real' voice. But still, this guy has one of the most beautiful voice God has made. Curious with him? I recommend you to listen to his cover of James Ingram's Forever More and his duet with Kim Yun Woo, The Name I Loved.

Jonghyun (Kim Jonghyun)



As one of the golden voice in Korea, I think the 'bling bling' fits him very well. I really admire him for having such a nice range and a very powerful voice. I'm seriously a fan of his very very powerful falsetto. He's definitely one of the most powerful tenorist. But sometimes, he pulls his voice a little bit too much. Instead of making the song sounds good, it makes the listeners get tired of his voice. Though I'm a big fan of his voice, I have to admit, I can't listen to his voice for hours without getting tired. But, of course, there's a time when his voice is surely soft and amazing. And for those who want to listen to Jonghyun's voice, I recommend you to listen to Quasimodo and his duet with Onew, Please Don't Go. It definitely optimized his voice.

Key (Kim Kibum)



I LOVE THIS KID TO DIE. Key has an insanely gorgeous timbre. He has a pretty wide range too. Though his falsetto is not as powerful as Jonghyun's, he can hit the high notes comfortably with little difference intensity from the middle range. Key has the deeper voice with a deeper timbre comparing to Jjong's. His timbre is really contrast to Onew's smooth and slick one and Taemin's thinner voice. I do love listening him to sing ballads. He's definitely a master of ballads. But unfortunately, he barely gets line for ballad songs, since it is usually given to Jonghyun or Onew. And I have to say, among the three lead vocals in SHINee, I think he's the most persistent. Onew often cracks while Jonghyun sometimes fails at hitting high notes, but Key, his voice maintains a good power without ever screeching. One word for him: Almighty. Recommended song: Romantic and One or Love Pain.

Minho (Choi Minho)



First time, I thought this guy can't sing at all. Now, it has been pulled off. Though his technique is still, well let say, awful, but I bet this guy has a nice voice. Though as a rapper, he has a very deep voice, but when it comes to sing, I think his voice can be higher than Key's. All he has to do is improving his technique and SM should give him more lines (without taking others part, of course). I don't have many words to say since he is really really lack of part of singing. And I should recommend you to watch SHINee's cover of L-O-V-E. Minho did pretty well that time.

Taemin (Lee Taemin)



A very very smooth voice. Not a deep one like Onew, but this kid (since he's just a year older than me), seriously has a very smooth voice. Beside, his voice is also thin, so sometimes it sounds weak rather than smooth. I do think Taemin is a smooth version of Jjong. I think he is also tenorist just like Jonghyun. His voice is optimized in high notes, but sometimes, his voice is too fragile and causing him to be off tune. Though he's now have more lines, just like Minho, he needs to improve more techniques, esp from Jjong. Recommended song for his voice: One and his solo at The Muzit (I forgot the title of the song).

Well, that's all my opinion about SHINee's vocal ability. Again, do not bash. Do comment your opinion, I really want to know about it. See ya at next post! :)

I'm Officially a Kpoper

Annyeong! Huuaahh...It has been a long time since my last post. And really, I skipped March? No single post in March! Well, I think it is a kind of evidence that I was really busy that time. I've just got my mid-test, and seriously, I got an epic fail for History. Dammit! I know I will never love that subject. And yeah, randomness as an opening, as usual. Okay, lets start the main idea of this month.

--------

Hey, do you notice in what language I greeted you? Korean, yeah. Now, I'm starting to bias a contemporary Korean boyband, SHINee!! Yay!! I started to like them in October 2010 (I always try to remember when did I start to like something or someone). But it doesn't mean I will leave my lovely Fahrenheit. It is just...I think they're now doing each businesses first, so I'll just say that they're now separated (not literally, don't kill me, please. I don't want them to be like this too). Well, as celebrities, I think they must have ups and downs, so let us just wait for their comeback! 加油, 飛輪海!!!

Btw, Yan Ge was releasing his EP last month (finally, after a long time). It is titled "The Next Me", consist of 6 songs. I haven't seen the MVs nor listened the songs. But I'm glad he's finally on his way reaching his dream. I still remember a day when he said he wants to release more than 3 solo albums. Two thumbs up, Yan Ge! But don't forget about Fahrenheit, okay? :)

Lets end Fahrenheit topic and jump to SHINee!! Yeah, Korean boyband consists of 5 young man who are very talented in singing, dancing, and rapping. I don't think I need to explain further since they're already famous enough. I have to say, they started to blind me with their "Ring Ding Dong" and now, I'm addicted to all of their songs. And, my bias in this group, just like the previous group, a fan pairing. Who are they? They are, pairing of Umma and Appa, Onew and Key! *screaming to die* I'm more into Key, honestly, but I can't deny the clumsiness and the sincere smile of Onew opppa. They're just perfect. As a person, and as a couple, of course. Hwehehehe...:P

Well, since the title of this post is a declaration that I'm officially a Kpoper, I think I'll just end this post here. I've told you my bias and the fandom. And the next posts will be more related to SHINee. But don't worry, as I said, I won't forget Fahrenheit. Oh, and btw, I found a highly recommended fanfic for you. It is about OnKey. It is also a long one, but totally wonderful. I bet you'll cry after reading this fic. Just a perfect angst.

Just click the link below for the first chapter:

Gotta go now. Annyeong!


I will always wait for your comeback, Fahrenheit!!


And lets welcome, SHINee!!


Don't forget, we have a new pairing to be shipped. Go OnKey!! <3

Seven-Two-Eleven

Seven February, 11.13, sixteen years ago. A little girl was born. She was very cute, cute little girl. BZZTTT!! Okay, lets stop this creepy dramatic story. This cute little girl, was me. Well, okay, not that cute, but at least I was a little girl. And a little girl is always a cute one (so it means, I was cute).

Okay, random. Next, what else? Well, today is my birthday. But somehow, I'm not on the mood. And writing this kinda-angst post (okay, not angst) is a bit weird since I always try to write something encouraging. Okay, end of the story. Lets start the real one.

-----------------------

Today, is my birthday. Sixteen years ago, I was born in a small hospital in Magelang, Central Java. It was 11.13 (or at least that's what my mother told me). Be the second child of the family wasn't that bad. Has a weird-loud-older sister, and a spoiled younger brother. A chemistry-genius father, and a math-master mother. And as the result: A chemistry-failed-and-math-lover girl. 哈哈哈!

Now, I'm already 16. Living in this world for sixteen years, isn't a short time. A year ago, I was still a junior-high-school student. Five years ago, I was still an elementary school student. And sixteen years ago, I was born.

After 16 years, I feel that I have had so many things. Experiences, inspirations, loves. Nowadays, I'm busy with my school activity. It's terribly busy. And yeah, I'm enjoying it. Go home at p.m., sleep at 00.00. I'm enjoying it. I never know how long it will last, but sometimes, I wanna stop. Resting from the business, runaway from everything. But then I realize, I can't runaway. The only choice that I have is doing this or dead. Yeah, dead. That's the easiest way for us to runaway, rite?

So, in my 16th years of my life, as I've wished last year, I wanna be a good-sixteen-years-old girl. I wanna be happy, so I will smile. I wanna smile, so I'll be happy. I wanna be sad, so I'll cry. I wanna cry, so I'll be free. I wanna be free, so I'll laugh. And I wanna love, so I'll be loved.

Sixteen years old, is a new start.

----------------------------

This world is too busy
How can it be heard?
One heart calling out to another one's beat
No matter how busy this world becomes
Luckily that we still
Are very quiet here -Fahrenheit

First Post in 2011

First post in January. End of January. Hhhhh....first month of the year, and I'm already busy. Somehow, I'm forced. I don't know what kind of pressure I have, but then my back seems to be burdened. Ok, just a random thing.

First month, somehow, I feel that I won't reached my new year wish-list. New glasses? Nope. Capo? Nope. ChunLun drama? No idea. Improving my singing? Failed. AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

Okay, that was just something-that-make-my-head-explode things. No need to be sad. I'm still smiling. :)

And yeah, this month, we start. New things, experiences, love. Wait, did I mention love? Well, love. It has been a long long time since the last time I was interested in someone. Wait, it's not a love then. 对不起. 我的爱是炎哥. 哈哈哈! Okay, focus. So, how we end, is depend on how we start, and how we pass. Well, I don't think I have a good starter, but who cares? I will pass this year. And I know, I will have a sweet ending, not a kind of angst story. Overconfidence? No. This is how I support myself, and make myself believes that I can do what I wanna do. Trusting yourself is important, rite?

Hell yeah! No need to be sorrow. February will soon come. Sixteen, I'm coming!!!! Sixteen, 16, sechzehn. Hope that one of my wish-list: be a good sixteen years old girl can be reached.

Okay, I think I'll end this fucking-random post. Always try to keep smiling every now and then, to be happy as time goes by, to cry when it's unbearable, to laugh at a joke, not a laughing-stock, to be angry when it's needed, to be proud of what we had accomplished, to be sad so we will be happy, and the last, to keep loving something that I do love.

So, gotta go now! 再見!! :)
