Scene #1
Location: At a famous fast-food restaurant.
Customer: I would to order a double cheeseburger meal.
Worker: Would you like to up 'sai' it?
Customer: (paused for a while) Err... no thanks. (with a smile)
Scene #2
Location: At a famous local fashion outlet.
Customer: Do you have bigger size for this blouse?
Worker: No. Here all free 'sai'. That side (pointing at another section of the store) got big 'sai'.
Customer: Oh...(hehe! thanks but no thanks!)
Scene #3
Location: At a well-known shoe store.
Customer: Excuse me, my son's feet cannot fit into this pair of shoes. Can you let him try another size?
Worker: Orr... you want big 'sai' is it? Wait, I 'chain'.
The word SIZE is usually mispronounced as 'sai' (which means SHIT in Hokkien).
Similarly, the word CHANGE is usually mispronounced as 'chain'.

Shinhwa - The Greatest Artist Shinhwa in 1998-2007
This one will be out at the end of this month. It's not from Good Ent. but an MBC collection of music vids, interviews and shows. If SBS and KBS were to come out with their own versions of Shinhwa DVD ... oh my poor pocket!

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday!
Why Oh Why?
OMO! Yahoo! Sg Auction (Y!SG Auct)down for so long. Why oh Why is this happening? So frustrating. It's one of my most frequented sites and where I do my online window shopping whenever I'm bored. How long must I wait?
The last item I bought from the auction was in May when I got a 2nd hand Shinhwa CD+VCD at only 6SGD(incl postage summore). So dirt cheap leh! Don't tell me to use eBay. Coz eBay SG sucks! Err...heee... I don't know lah. Never used it before but I've looked through the items available there, unlike Y!SG Auct, it's only lacking in variety. Like most Singaporeans, I'm more comfortable patronizing Y!SG Auct simply because I've won, lost auctions, managed to haggle over price of items(I so lor-sor rite? heee), bought and sold stuffs there since 2002!
It's been weeks now and the site is still not up yet. Even logging into Y! email has been problematic these days that I had to switch back to the old Y! Classic mode. Aigoo...

The only nicest thing that I can say about Pulau Redang is : I will be back!
The island is super, uber nice. That's all I can say.
It amazes me that even my 7 and 4yr old couldn't resist but splashed into the deep waters of Redang with their lifejackets on, of course. They weren't used to using snorkelling masks, so, they kinda missed out on some beautiful underwater views.
It was a harrowing experience on board J8 Berjaya Air. The wornt-out looking plane does indeed served its purpose of getting us from point A to B. But not without the heart-stomping moments like when the plane hits the air pocket or when it shaked hard as it passed through the thick clouds area. Another interesting or should I say nerve-wrecking moment was went we were about to land on the Pulau Redang's short airstrip. The pilot did a sudden 'downwards-brake-like' jerk that caused us to be thrown forward for like 2secs. LOL! Inside the plane, all of us let out a nervous "Wooohhh!" Hahah. That was a bit scary but funny at the same time.
Next time round, we'll opt for the long bus and ferry ride to the island.
It rained heavily with thunder and lightning flashes the 2 nites we were there. At the sight of the glimmering sun, the rain quickly disappeared... Aahh...blissful.

Annyeong! My "toy" from Yesasia arrived at approximately about a week from the date of online purchase. Shinhwa's State of the Art Seoul Tour 2006 DVD package was securely double-bubble wrapped and tucked into a tough plastic envelope. Therefore, I am very impressed with how efficient Yesasia is. The 2-DVDs are in perfect working condition. I've yet to finish the full concert but I'm just a tad disappointed with the sound quality for this concert. It pales in comparison to Hyesung's 1st Tour DVD. Oh well, the brighter side of it is that there's 5 more guys for my eyes to ogle at. Yippeeee ~~~~ (I'm also elated because SHCJ charges me at 50sgd excl- postage for the same DVD but I paid only 48sgd to Yesasia plus free shipping!)
Aahh...Two new songs from Kim Dong Wan's(KDW) latest jib like Bimil (Secret) and Honey really grows on me. Bimil sounds very electronica and has a very catchy tune. It also features SNSD's Tiffany's (Fany) voice. Talking about Fany, I detest her analogy of referring Hyesung's excellent vibrato to that of a goat's bleat. #%$%! She should have thought hard before opening her mouth to speak of her elders or sonbaes. I heard Hyesung was not the only one that fell prey to her unthoughtful remarks but different artistes/groups as well.
During the recent I Love Korea Dream Concert in Seoul, SNSD(All Girls Group)'s anti-fans(I estimate about 70% of the total attendance?) boycotted them by keeping silent throughout their performance on the Olympic Stadium's stage. A very akward moment for the girls on stage. It's a bit cruel punishment to SNSD as they are very young and immature but as the saying goes, one bad apple spoils the barrel. I hope SM Entertainment will better refine SNSD's PR skills. The videos are all over Youtube(YT). You can find them by typing the keywords(in bold above).
Anyways, back to KDW's; Honey is another up-tempo melody. Another collaboration with fellow Shinhwa member, Eric, whose rapping skills created a very fun and funky music altogether. I love these two songs only, at the moment. But I love KDW's first jib entirely!
My sister has been introducing me to TVXQ and I'm slowly allowing their music to permeate my auditory cortex which is currently swamped with Shinhwa/members stuffs. I still find it extremely hard to accept TVXQ's Purple Line's famous phrase : ... I really wanna touch myself... LOL! What the hell? I have taken a great liking to that song in particular but I cracked up whenever that phrase was mentioned. Shinhwa suffered the same fate too by having bad lyrics in some of their songs (the rap parts esp. Growl! at Eric because he created them.)
Andy and KDW's appearance on Music Bank is a pleasant surprise. They did a duet on each other's song. The chemistry between them has been great as always. Andy Lee is improving vocally and trying his level best not to sound pitchy, thus, the stiff presentation.

What K-Drama?
Ask me what's the latest and hottest K-Drama(KD) on TV today?My asnwer will be: I don't have a clue. I'm not into KDs, hor. AhBee, please take note and don't spread wrong info. If people were to ask me questions about KDs, I won't know how to answer them. Hee. YEs. I'm really into Korean music and language only.
I've purchased my first Shinhwa DVD from Yesasia and it's probably going to take more than a week for it to reach Singapore (this is the result of opting for free shipping. Otherwise, for a fee, the item could reach me within 3-days.) But I'm not in a rush so... This is my first e-buy from an overseas company, I hope that it's reliable. (Already paid US$35 for it. Ouch!)
Not being consistent in the K- language part, though. I've fully mastered script reading, writing and typing Hangul on the computer keyboard. Orally, I'm still weak at it. (Got some free cool Korean audio lessons downloaded from some torrent sites, yiipee!) But the ultimate one that I've yet to grasp is the sentence structure part.
For example, we normally say : I'm-going-to-school.
But in Korean, it's : to School-I-Go. (The verb is always placed last in the sentence.)
(in Malay, the term we use for this is 'terbalik kot' haha! Like mamak style.)
Mamak style : Itu-Sekolah-aku-pigi. (Lu cakap nie statement sambil goyang lu peh kepala.)
huhuhuhuuuu...
Will be leaving for Redang Island (Teregganu) on Saturday. Remy booked this 3D2N trip from the last NATAS fair. We will be staying at Berjaya Resort Redang, just at the Garden View chalet. Everyone in Remy's family will be going. (6Adults 3Kids) The kids are pretty excited about the beach and fishes. I'm worried about the flight on the tired-looking Dash-7 Berjaya Air plane( 4-propellers 48-seater). Due to an unfortunate prior flight experience, I now have phobia riding on anything that's suspended or hovers in air. I can easily go for ten rounds worth of Crazy-Monster-Rollercoaster rides but I get the jitters during a decent cable-car ride. Cuckoo rite?
