[Chord] Aziatix - Slippin Away

Ohhh my days.. This was FREAKING hard to play on guitar! Used chordify.net and it actually gave me the right chords - but the chords were so unfamiliar for me :'(. To simplify it I turned one semi-tone down *phew*. I'll put down both the original and my own modified chords. Here it is:

Original
Gb  Ab  Bbm  Fm
Gb  Ab  Db  Ab

Modified/Simplified
F   G   Am   Em
F   G   C   G

Just repeat the chords throughout the whole song. Now I'm not 100% sure about the second line (ie the one without minors if you can't tell) on both versions, but it still sounds decent to my ears :P. But still let met know if you think it can be improved.

I swear if this wasn't one of my favourite songs of them I wouldn't even think of playing this lol

PS: What the hell? I'm supposed to do my dissertation ==__==||

[Chords] Aziatix - Go

Assalamualaikum and hello~

Oh God, I haven't been here in ages! @_@ Now you might be wondering why I actually came back. Well, lately I've been into playing guitar and I've also become an Aziaddict (a term for Aziatix's fans. woohoo!!) and I have the urge to play their songs on my guitar. But after a few failed attempts of searching for Aziatix's chords, I've started to feel frustrated - until I've stumbled onto Chordify.net and it showed the chords used in the vid - well, sort of. It's not accurate either but it gave me an idea on how to start. So here it is, my first post on chords~ You can play it on piano or any other instruments (that involves chords and melody of course. I don't think drums have them XP). I don't expect anyone to read this since this is for my reference as well (I'm not good in remembering chords for songs until I've played it lots of times), but if there is and the chords sound weird for some reason, do leave a comment so I can know :). Cheers~ Anyways, here are the chords:

[Intro, Verse & Chorus]
G    D    Bm   A


It was easy to figure out the chords than I expected lol. You just repeat the same chords throughout the song. Enjoy~

K-Pop concert: My view on it

Okaayyy, soooo looking through the wall posts on facebook I noticed that there are a lot of people commenting on the K-Pop artists being brought to the Perhimpunan Belia whatever-the-program's-name is in Putrajaya. I have split opinions on this - a part of me agree with their views on the negative impact while the other part of me just find it...ridiculous.

Why I agree with them?

First off, the aim of the program is to motivate or improve the youths to become better leaders of our country in the future, not to entertain them and give in to their selfish demands (again, this is just my view on it). So why polluting their minds more by bringing hot guys and girls from Korea? Obviously with our youths' minds being corrupted already, having K-Pop artists over here on an event like this won't help much. If it's an event that is only for K-Pop fans, then I would understand.

Secondly, don't we already have great local artists to perform on stage? I admit that I still don't know the new young talents in Malaysia, but just by exposing them through this program would be beneficial not only to the artists, but to the sponsors as well (they can save lots and lots of moolah you know). What happened to supporting 'local products' aka 'MADE IN MALAYSIA' slogan?? We have Yuna, Najwa Latiff, Hujan, etc. etc. and we have a decent number of indie bands as well. So why, people? WHY?!?! At least expose us, the youths, to these great artists if we don't know them!

Well, that's it for my views on this. On to my other half of me...

Why I DISAGREE with them?!

It's so obvious - for one, you're bashing the K-Pop artists when all they're doing is just to obey their respective companies and sponsors and perform. That's their job, to PERFORM and entertain their audience. Yet all these articles seemed like they were directed to these poor kids (mind you, most of the K-Pop artists that perform there are younger than me ==__==||). For God's sake, if anyone needs to be blamed, BLAME THE FREAKING SPONSORS AND STUPID COMPANIES.

Also, even though I sounded like I know the aim of the program - I don't. Especially when the program is for 'Youths', because the first thing that popped into my mind when hearing this was 'entertainment'. What do you expect? The century that we're living and growing up in is surrounded by TVs, radios, idols, celebrities and all those bullshit stuffs. Admit it - even in an Islamic program there is bound to be a nasheed group performing in it even just one song, especially in this fucked up country of ours that is supposed to be an Islamic country. (I love my country, but I love none of the politic groups) So... what do you expect? To attract youths, you must have entertainment, and to attract more youths you must have at least some foreign artists to mix in the program with a twist. I mean I gotta admit, asking foreign artists to come and perform isn't an easy task, so I gotta give kudos to the sponsors for it (sounds weird after I bashed those sponsors huh LOL).

To improve the youths' development?? Pfffttt! People, development starts at a very, VERY young age, not when they're at their rebelling stage aka teenagers. Proof? My 5-year-old niece can speak better English than most of my peers. 'Nuff said.

Conclusion

So yeah, call me a bitch for bashing my own country, but that's just reality. Even Wardina admitted that she feels like running away from her own country because it's too fucked up (and no, she did not say that last part. that's just me lol). And to start with, I'm actually against with this whole Perhimpunan Belia thing. If you want to do events like this, do it properly with a sense of seriousness, please. Motivation? Might as well send your kids to MAP (Motivasi Alihan Pelajar) by Tengku Asmadi (I sound like I'm promoting his program lol). Sure, it costs a lot but it's definitely worth it (even though I didn't change much after attending it lol it depends on every individuals).

Even if you do invite K-Pop artists, I'd rather be caught dead than letting myself burn under the sun just to see these celebrities. I mean come on, I can just watch them on my laptop, comfortably lying lazily on my bed. And if you really do want to invite K-Pop artists, make a proper concert that are specifically for K-Pop fans. I'm sure there are some people who are getting sick of its popularity and I don't blame them. And if the tickets cost too much - well, you can count on their die-hard fans from all over the world who would pay millions just to see their idols. Oh, and you can count me as well to attend B.A.P's showcase or Big Bang's concert - if I'm free when they come here TT.TT (Oh cruel world, I didn't even attend L'Arc-en-Ciel's concert in UK when I was there. *sniff*)

*end of essay*

Oh, did I mention that I'm back in Malaysia? lol Helloooo hot weather! --__--||

Warrior~ huh!

Oh thank you TS Entertainment for releasing a not-your-typical but rather in-ya-face boy band!! XD Introducing B.A.P (Best Absolute Perfect)~

At first I wasn't fond of the song, but after a while of listening and realizing how talented they are, it's just stuck in my head for a while that I sometimes say "Warrior~ huh!" under my breath randomly lol. I mean really, this is the first rookie group that got me hooked for a long loooooonnngg time (and I still am :P).

I gotta say how proud I am that they are of 90's babies line. Although not one of them is the same age as me (which is a shame TT.TT), I'm glad that two of the members are older than me (by a year), whereas the others are freaking - and I mean FREAKING young! Below are the members' info~

Leader and rapper of the group, Bang Yong Guk, born in 30th May 1990... And may I say he is my BIAS!! X3 When I have a bias in a group, it was almost never a rapper, but in B.A.P I pick him. And this is the first time I've been goo goo ga ga over a guy in a long time(last one was, er, I forgot ^_^||). I mean, let's be honest, he's not Brad Pitt or Orlando Bloom. But really, he has the BIGGEST smile I've ever seen, he can be handsome yet cute X3 (without trying too hard) and he has such a lean body~~ And believe me, I have never gone after macho men before, so this is my first :3 (okay i'm gonna shut up now and provide real info about him),

Known as B.A.P's Inversion Rapper (whatever that means), Yongguk was previously in an underground group called Soul Connection (don't know if he's still in the group) and went by the name of Jepp Blackman. This explains why he's very experienced on stage even when he was featured in Secret's Song Ji Eun debut single "Going Crazy". At that time I wasn't head-over-heels yet but I was really impressed by his talent. Then came his solo debut single, "I Remember" featuring B2ST's Yoseob and was co-produced and written by Yongguk himself. A similar feeling with "Going Crazy" but still has its own character. And if that wasn't enough, he started a sub-unit group called Bang & Zelo together with *drumrolls* Zelo, the maknae of the group!

Real name is Choi Joon Hong, he got the name Zelo from the god of rivalry in Greek mythology. Born in 15th October 1996, he's the maknae (youngest) and rapper of the group and is known as B.A.P's 15-year-old Genius. If you listen to him rapping in "Warrior" (2nd verse) he can rap reeeaaalllly fast, and he's also really good in dancing. Also, he's the tallest member in the group with a height of 182 cm (and he's still growing... what the fish?!), and I guess he's well-known as the Giant Baby among the fans XD. He's very cool for his age and is probably the most famous one in the group (especially among noonas, meaning older female fans), which I'm not surprise because - like any other maknaes - he is uber cute. I mean look at his kitty eyes and cheeky smile, even without doing aegyo (which he's actually not good at lol) he's already cute as a pie! X3

As I said before he and Yongguk formed a sub-unit group Bang&Zelo and released a single "Never Give Up". The song was no doubt in contrast with "I Remember" and "Warrior" and was very happy uplifting song that just wants to tell everyone to never give up on their dreams.

Next one to appear in public is none other than Himchan~

Kim Him Chan, known as B.A.P's Instrument Ulzzang, was born in 19th April 1990 and is the sub-vocalist and rapper of the group. In case you don't recognize him in the video, he's the scary one rapping at 0:58 (no, really, he was known as "the scary one" among the fans XD). As I said before, he's an ulzzang (a person well-known for good looks and always take selcas...just Google it if you don't know what it means) and was in the BESTNINE along with Block B Jaehyo, MBLAQ Lee Joon, and CN Blue Yonghwa and Jonghyun. So yes, you could say he's the 'visual' of the group, but that doesn't mean he ain't got talent. He's very known back in his school for playing many traditional instruments and is now majoring in traditional arts in Korea National University of Arts.

He is currently the MC for MTV's "The Show". A lot of fans complained that Himchan has such a small part in every B.A.P's songs, but I guess the company has a reason to do that. I mean hey, he might become an actor or be in variety shows in the future. Only time will tell. Oh, and I also love him because of he's dorkiness and narrow-mindedness even though he's the second oldest in the group XD.

The next three didn't appear in public before the group's debut, but that doesn't make them less talented.

B.A.P's Brain and the main vocalist, Yoo Young Jae, was born in 24th January 1994. Why the Brain? Because he likes to talk and discuss in details and is quite the mature one in the group (no offense to the older ones. I'm just saying this based on their reality show lol) There's not much about him that I can find apart from that he's well known for his baby fat (he does looks kinda chubby, but that's ok because he's still cute~). He's also well-known for being "the guy who can't see straight" among the fans because of his long fringe that covers his eyes XD.

Moon Jong Up is B.A.P's sub-vocalist and main dancer and was born in 6th February 1995. Also known as B.A.P's Dancing Shindong (the last part I really have no idea what it means), he's also known for his muscular body (you probably can't see much from the pic above *sigh*). He's the one who, with Zelo, 'shot' each other's head at the beginning XD. Like Himchan, fans complained how small Jongup's parts were in their songs, but by looking at their performances, it seems as if he likes to express himself through dancing than singing. He's also quite expressionless in the interviews lol.

Again, not much can be found from him other than being cameos in Secret's MVs "Shy Boy" (with Yongguk and Himchan) and "Starlight Moonlight" (with Yongguk again) and also Bang&Zelo's "Never Give Up".

And last but not least is B.A.P's lead vocalist, Jung Dae Hyun. Born in 28th June 1993, he is well-known as B.A.P's Busan's Wonbin... I don't see the resemblance between him and Wonbin lol. He's also known as "the good-looking one" among the fans (he doesn't agree though as he thinks Himchan is more handsome). He was the last one to join the group, but a good thing too as he is considered as the 'hidden card' of the group.

Apparently the other members spent time together for over a year but they only get to know Daehyun only for seven or eight months. Hence, he's still a mystery to the other members (aka they still don't know him as much as they know each other). He's also known for his "no comment" slogan in their reality show, but he explained that he was actually worried that his Busan accent might get in the way, so it's easier for him to say "no comment" XD.

I wasn't planning to post about them actually but seeing how my friends are active lately in updating blogs, I figured I should too. And what better way to post about other than my current craze~ XD They're currently promoting their follow-up song "Secret Love" featuring Song Ji Eun herself, so if "Warrior" is not your taste, then I'd highly suggest you listen to the other one 'cause it's too cool and chic for words~ Here's the MV (mostly their backstage footage) and ciao! :D (*Warning* Too many cuteness in this video. If you guys don't like cuteness please shut your eyes or go open another tab/window and browse other stuffs while listening to it XD)

I think I'm "Ugly"!

Salaams to my Muslim friends and a very big HOLA to others! :D

Hee~ I haven't updated this blog for a looooonnnng time. Well, it's not that I don't WANT to update this blog - I just DON'T KNOW what to write is all.. Since I'm always never have any ideas what to write, I'll just let the music describe how I'm feeling right now :3. Of course songs will not describe 100% of what I am feeling, but I'm just gonna leave it at that coz I'm really not into exposing my feelings to everyone right now. Enjoy the music y'all~



I think I've mentioned this before, but 2NE1 is my FAVOURITE!!! <3 This is definitely something new from them! Since I was once a rock fan (or to be precise, J-Rock fan), I really love this concept. At least it's something different from the typical clubbing/electro songs. Plus, the lyrics hold a lot of meaning. Sure we sometimes feel ugly or we're just not good enough. Even Teddy (ze producer) said he might've felt very down when he wrote this song. Why? You have to read the english subs to really understand what I'm saying, ya get me??

Anyways, like I said as of today I am not gonna reveal how I really feel like at the current moment, like before (unless I suddenly feel like it and wanting to get out from the shell for once. *gasp* 'get out from the shell'?? ain't that laruku's song??? XD). I'll just let the music do the talking. Peace out y'all! Assalamualaikum..

PS: Omo, almost forgot.. To my Muslim friends, happy fasting and celebrate Ramadhan! (and by 'celebrating' I mean connecting more with Allah and do more sunnahs) Let this Ramadhan be one of your best ones yet :D

TAG~~

The Artist

As an ISFP (Introverted Sensing Feeling Perceiving), your primary mode of living is focused internally, where you deal with things according to how you feel about them, or how they fit into your value system. Your secondary mode is external, where you take things in via your five sense in a literal, concrete fashion.

ISFPs live in the world of sensation possibilities. They are keenly in tune with the way things look, taste, sound, feel and smell. They have a strong aesthetic appreciation for art, and are likely to be artists in some form, because they are unusually gifted at creating and composing things which will strongly affect the senses. They have a strong set of values, which they strive to consistently meet in their lives. They need to feel as if they're living their lives in accordance with what they feel is right, and will rebel against anything which conflicts with that goal. They're likely to choose jobs and careers which allow them the freedom of working towards the realization of their value-oriented personal goals.

ISFPs tend to be quiet and reserved, and difficult to get to know well. They hold back their ideas and opinions except from those who they are closest to. They are likely to be kind, gentle and sensitive in their dealings with others. They are interested in contributing to people's sense of well-being and happiness, and will put a great deal of effort and energy into tasks which they believe in.

ISFPs have a strong affinity for aesthetics and beauty. They're likely to be animal lovers, and to have a true appreciation for the beauties of nature. They're original and independent, and need to have personal space. They value people who take the time to understand the ISFP, and who support the ISFP in pursuing their goals in their own, unique way. People who don't know them well may see their unique way of life as a sign of carefree light-heartedness, but the ISFP actually takes life very seriously, constantly gathering specific information and shifting it through their value systems, in search for clarification and underlying meaning.

ISFPs are action-oriented individuals. They are "doers", and are usually uncomfortable with theorizing concepts and ideas, unless they see a practical application. They learn best in a "hands-on" environment, and consequently may become easily bored with the traditional teaching methods, which emphasize abstract thinking. They do not like impersonal analysis, and are uncomfortable with the idea of making decisions based strictly on logic. Their strong value systems demand that decisions are evaluated against their subjective beliefs, rather than against some objective rules or laws.

ISFPs are extremely perceptive and aware of others. They constantly gather specific information about people, and seek to discover what it means. They are usually penetratingly accurate in their perceptions of others.

ISFPs are warm and sympathetic. They genuinely care about people, and are strongly service-oriented in their desire to please. They have an unusually deep well of caring for those who are close to them, and are likely to show their love through actions, rather than words.

ISFPs have no desire to lead or control others, just as they have no desire to be led or controlled by others. They need space and time alone to evaluate the circumstances of their life against their value system, and are likely to respect other people's needs for the same.

The ISFP is likely to not give themself enough credit for the things which they do extremely well. Their strong value systems can lead them to be intensely perfectionist, and cause them to judge themselves with unneccesary harshness.

The ISFP has many special gifts for the world, especially in the areas of creating artistic sensation, and selflessly serving others. Life is not likely to be extremely easy for the ISFP, because they take life so seriously, but they have the tools to make their lives and the lives of those close to them richly rewarding experiences.

...Well, some of them might be true, whereas others are not. I don't know how to describe myself, so you'll be the judge :)
