Weekend Special: Korean Actor - Kim Jae Won

He is among the first Korean Actor that I went ga-ga over.. =D loved him in "My Love Patazzi"!!! His specs + boyish smile = killer combi!! Unfortunately, his subsequent show is jus so-so and i am sort of hestitant to watch a drama jus bcos of him.. wonders why he takes up these not-so-good dramas.. anyway he has turned more mature now.. perhaps he can have a breakthrough role and make it big in the industry..

signs of trouble

its been quite a long time since i pull an all-nighter.. even during my last astro overnite ob, i slept for like 2-3 hrs.. & plus last nite its not leisure.. & oso quite surprised tt i can tehan until now.. awake for 37 hours and counting..

realise i cant wake up early to do work even if i planned to.. not enuff determination.. cham.. so end up doing thesis e whole nite.. then aft consulting my supervisor, i realise i got a lot more to do.. *die* now realli doubt if i can complete on time..

no matter wat, i must do my best for it.. not jus for me, but also for my supervisor.. actualli i realise when i do things, i do it more for other ppl's sake.. eg O & A level.. why i wanted to do well in both is not bcos i care abt my future, but rather other ppl plays a more impt role in my studying hard for them..

hmm am i being weird? at times i feel tt its not good cos im acting as if i dun hav my own life.. but dunno leh, perhaps im not a veri ambitious person ba so i tend to take things easy so im more motivated to do things when other ppl are also involved.. anyway this is my last sem and i'll give my best and graduate with pride!

secrets to a successful retailer

when i was working in Robinsons a few yrs back, i saw how loyal customers can be and wondered wat exactly makes Robinsons stand out from a string of department stores (eg Tangs, Isetan, Seiyu). True, e sales staffs are friendly, service is thumb-ups but to me, it somehow lack e X factor.. perhaps cos Robinsons mainly cater to middle age customers and it was kinda not my type.. but right now i think i got a glimpse into e reasons behind its success..

by chance, i became a member of John Little (which is another department store under Robinsons & Co) a while ago and within two months of joining, i alr received invitation cum brochure/flyers to their exclusive for-members-only sales which features loads of discount which can be up to 40-50% off (there are plenty of discounts after discounts) and freebies etc.. & to think tt i join for free leh (no min purchase requirement etc) n all these privileges were extended to me liao.. & e frequency of such sales also impressed/surprised me.. they sure know how to treat members well..
im not too sure abt Robinson but my take is tt it will be similar..

IMHO, they offer e best deals to members.. more often than not, members were not notified of upcoming sales (tts from my experience, i can be wrong though) and membercard is often rendered useless during sales period.. this is not exactly of what i have in mind of rewarding card members.. on e other hand, Robinsons & Co is generous to its members.. perhaps it can afford to be generous cos it has been making healthy profits.. but to me, it make perfect sense to do so even if u r a small retailer.. 正所谓 “小财不出,大财不入” if u cant keep ur members happy and be regular patrons, u are possibly missing out large pool of customers (by referrals).. personally i feel that word-of-mouth marketing is one of the strongest tool ard, cos ppl tend to trust frens more than strangers and may be more willing to go by frens' recommendations..

so i guess success for retailers = word-of-mouth + good servies + resonable prices + z (any other factors).. verifiable thro regression.. lol.. if onli i can thought of this earlier, then i can use it as my thesis topic.. haha..

for me, i will start to recomend my frens to become members and confirm rooting for John Little when it comes to buying toileteries and comestics liao

wasted my weekend

realise ive quite a num of drafts in my backlog.. usu my post is quite long as i will type in my personal thoughts n opinions but currently i dun realli hav e luxury of time to do so... n it equals to half complete posts.. will clear them aft 4/4.. i promise.. meanwhile i will keep my post ASAP (as short as possible) =P

resolution doesnt work on me..
intend to type out 50% of my thesis over e wkend but guess wat? i decide to take a break on sat n spent most of my sunday on 2 proj n macro.. yes, macro is e killer...
i cant believe it.. we (me, SX, ZL, C) alr spent hours discussing our ans on fri.. but when it comes to writing, im super duper wols la.. shitto..
then correction can also take me close to 2 hrs... *faint*
all i can hope is tt this assgn earn me a decent grade... if not.. cant imagine my reaction..
& dark circles is making a return...
no surprise as i dun hav enuff slp lately..
actualli cant believe im still wide awake now...
cos i jus slept for 4+ hours this morning before i rush off to attend a meeting.. its part of introducing e company to potential candidates.. & its more fun than i thought.. somehow i reminds me of OCBC, like e atmosphere for both companies..
i think somehow i got this job liao but im still in 2 minds... dunno if i shd take it up leh.. got my reservations n doubts abt my ability...

당신...나는 바보입니다 by Stay. Ending theme of Goong (K-drama)

난 바 보 였 었 죠 내 가 바 보 였 었 죠
후 회 해 도 늦 었 죠 알 죠 돌 이 킬 순 없 죠
그 댈 볼 수 없 어 요 나 도 알 고 있 어 요
내 가 정 말 잘 못 했 어 요 정 말 미안 해 료


그땐 얘기하지 못했죠 너무 어리석었죠
이제 와서 이렇게 애태우며 난 용서를 발어요



당신은 나는 바보입니다
자 존 심 때 문 에
술과 쓴 담배연기 로 마가지고 있죠
당 신 은 나 는 바 보 입 니 다
아 직 사 랑 하기에 하루 종일 펑펑 울고만 있죠
그대도 나도 모두 바보처럼


그러지 말아요 다시 생갇해봐 요
우리 어떻게 요기까지 힘들게 왔는데
다시 생각해봐요 후회하실 거에요
내가 정말 잘못했어요 정말 미안해요
그땐 얘기하지 못했죠 너무 어리석었죠
이제 와서 이렇게 애태우며 난 용서를 발어요

당신은 나는 바보입니다
자 존 심 때 문 에
술과 쓴 담배연기 로 마가지고 있죠
당 신 은 나 는 바 보 입 니 다
아 직 사 랑 하기에 하루 종일 펑펑 울고만 있죠
그대도 나도 모두 바보처럼
그대 없이 단한 순간도 난 살 수 없어요
머릴 잘라도 술을 마셔도 눈물만 흐르죠


당신은 나는 바보입니다
자 존 심 때 문 에
술과 쓴 담배연기 로 마가지고 있죠
당 신 은 나 는 바 보 입 니 다
아 직 사 랑 하기에 하루 종일 펑펑 울고만 있죠
그대도 나도 모두 바보처럼


이제 더 이상 망가지지 마요......

Weekend Special: Korean Actress - Kim Tae Hee (金泰熙)

realise i havent been featuring actresses for a long time.. not that there are no outstanding and pretty actresses,.. but rather, there have been too mani shuai actors around (dun forget tt im a gal.. haha)
anyway personally feel that Kim Tae Hee is a 气质美女, she oozes of elegance + beauty.. the only one whom i can think of that can rival her in this aspect is Son Ye Jin (孙艺珍).. such a natural beauty.. *envy*

Musical Monday

一直很安静
阿桑

空荡的街景
想找个人放感情
作这种决定
是寂寞与我为邻
我们的爱情
像你路过的风景
一直在进行脚步
却从来不会为我而停

给你的爱一直很安静
来交换你偶尔给的关心
明明是三个人的电影
我却始终不能有姓名

你说爱像云
要自在飘浮才美丽
我终于相信
分手的理由有时候很动听

给你的爱一直很安静
我从一开始就下定决心
以为自己要的是曾经
却发现爱一定要有回应

给你的爱一直很安静
除了泪在我的脸上任性
原来缘分是用来说明
你突然不爱我这件事情

Weekend Special: Drama Review 13 - Hana Kimi


coming soon...

Musical Monday



Where Is The Love?
Black Eye Pea



What's wrong with the world mama

People livin' like they ain't got no mamas

I think the whole world addicted to the drama

Only attracted to things that'll bring you trauma

Overseas yeah we try to stop terrorism

But we still got terrorists here livin'

In the USA the big CIA

The Bloods and The Crips and the KKK



But if you only have love for your own race

Then you only leave space to discriminate

And to discriminate only generates hate

And when you hate then you're bound to get irate yeah

Badness is what you demonstrate

And that's exactly how a nigga works and operates

Nig you gotta have love just to set it straight

Take control of your mind and meditate

Let your soul gravitate to the love y'all y'all



People killin' people dyin'

Children hurt and you hear them cryin'

Can you practice what you preach

And would you turn the other cheek

Father Father Father help us

Send us some guidance from above

'Cause people got me got me questionin'

Where is the love (Love)



It just ain't the same always unchanged

New days are strange is the world insane

If love and peace is so strong

Why are there pieces of love that don't belong

Nations droppin' bombs

Chemical gasses fillin' lungs of little ones

With the ongoin' sufferin' as the youth die young

So ask yourself is the lovin' really strong

So I could ask myself really what is goin' wrong



With this world that we livin' in people keep on givin'in

Makin' wrong decisions only visions of them dividends

Not respectin' each other deny thy brother

A war is goin' on but the reason's undercover

The truth is kept secret it's swept under the rug

If you never know truth then you never know love



Where's the love y'all come on (I don't know)

Where's the truth y'all come on (I don't know)

Where's the love y'all



I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder

As I'm gettin' older y'all people gets colder

Most of us only care about money makin'

Selfishness got us followin' our own direction

Wrong information always shown by the media

Negative images is the main criteria

Infecting the young minds faster than bacteria

Kids act like what they see in the cinema



Whatever happened to the values of humanity

Whatever happened to the fairness in equality

Instead in spreading love we spreading animosity

Lack of understanding leading lives away from unity

That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' under

That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' down

It's no wonder why sometimes I'm feelin' under

I Gotta keep my faith alive until lover is found



Where is the love (The love)



Sing with me y'all (one love one love)

We only got (one love one love)

This is all we've got (one love one love)

Something's wrong with this

Weekend Special: Korean Actor - Lee Seo Jin

Start to notice him in a rather old drama "Since I met you". He isn't exactly dashing then.. But he stands out in later dramas such as "Damo" & "Pheonix".
Affectionately known as "Mr Dimple" by his fans, i feel that his selling point is his gentlemanly, slightly rugged and mature look. =D
