♥ Dirgahayu 65, INDONESIA! ♥

Stuff #1

Cheap but worthy! I got this for only 30.000 rupiahs! Totally cool, eh??

Stuff #2

I love this white nail polish so much. I was given by my auntie when we were gone to The Face Shop in a mall when I was on Pontianak =D

Stuff #3

Yesterday, my bestie, Imel, came to my home & she brought traditional facial mask. Sooooo fresh~!

Stuff #4

I found 2 amazing arts of Wonder Girls‘ Sohee at my campus. So random, then I thought these were made by a random DKV (Desain Komunikasi Visual) student. Pretty!

~Jill

I went to my campus, University of Bina Nusantara at that day. Tepatnya di Kampus Syahdan. Hari itu memang kepingiiiin banget pergi kesana soalnya kayaknya seru! Hari itu, ada expo UKM (Unit Kegiatan Mahasiswa) di hari terakhir FEP a.k.a Freshmen Enrichment Program 2014 (kayak pengarahan & pengenalan kampus gitulah..) buat calon mahasiswa/i gelombang 3.

Pertama, gw ke stand Himmarcomm (Himpunan Mahasiswa Marketing Communication) di ruang K3E..

Logo Himmarcomm

(Logonya kayak gitu tuh…)

Yah.. Walaupun pada hari itu gak terlalu rame kayak waktu gelombang 2. Gw pengen liat aja hari itu seberapa rame, karena di gelombang 3 cuma 1 kelas jurusan marcomm (komunikasi pemasaran). Kakak-kakaknya pada pake baju heboh lucu gitu, padahal di gelombang gw nggak ㅠ_ㅠ

Setelah bertemu dengan temen-temen gw, Sisca & Vivi, yg hari itu ikut FEP, gw lanjut ke stand-nya BVOICE (radio Binus). Stand yg satu ini, kayanya emang paling heboh diantara semua stand yg ada. MCs & kru-nya pada gokil abis.. Cuap-cuap gak berhenti. Pokonya paling seru deh menurut gw~ Di gelombang 2 (gelombangnya gw..) juga keliatan kalo emang BVOICE seru banget. Gw pengeeeen banget masuk BVOICE tapi udah kebanyakan UKM. Yasudalah…

Logo BVOICE

(Nah.. Itu logonya BVoice..)

Oya, hari itu, Bvoice ternyata pake tema “Perjoeangan ’45” dimana semua krunya  pake baju ala pejuang Indonesia tahun 1945 & ada juga yg pake baju noni-noni Belanda. Cihuy banget! Trus banyak papan tulisan pake ejaan lama seperti “Ganjang Kompeni!“~ So interesting, huh! Dan gw baru nyadar, ternyata karena harinya udah deket sama hari peringatan kemerdakaan Indonesia 17 Agustus ini. Wow yeah~ 65 tahun!!

Bintang tamunya gak kalah oke. Ada Wilson (Indonesian Idol), tapi gw belom sampe waktu dia tampil. Tapi, ada 1 lagi nih yg juga mantep, Petra Sihombing. W~o~w~ Wow banget! Berbakat, ramah, juga ganteng. Almost perfect! =D

Karena posisi gw agak ke samping & kurang strategis, jadi gambar ini yg terlihat baik. Lumayanlah yaaa.. Nah, kelihatan juga kan tuh yg di belakang pake baju pejoeang berlumuran darah sekaligus yg pake batik. Ahaha~ Indonesia loh..
Dia nyanyi 4 lagu, diantaranya 2 lagunya sendiri, “Di hatiku” & “Cinta Takkan Kemana-mana“. Honestly, gw ga pernah denger lagunya sebelumnya. Pernah sih lewat gitu di FTV, tapi cuma sekilas. Menurut gw, suaranya itu kedengeran lebih enak saat dia nyanyi live dibandingkan studio record (gw udah denger lagunya di radio juga~). Serius loh
Sebenernya gw rekam dia pas nyanyi lagu medley pertama, tapi karena cuaca panas, gw mutusin buat berhenti rekam & lebih milih kipas-kipas pake majalah yg gw pegang~ (kayanya sih punya Vivi~). Dan gw lebih enjoy buat fokus nonton dia daripada ngerekam Menikmati penampilan si performer. Hehehe…

Setelah semuanya selesai, gw ngumpul bareng temen-temen baru gw yg baik hati; Pipit (beserta cowonya), Monic, Egi, & Ocha, sekalian nungguin Sisca & Vivi selesai FEP. Hari yg cukup menyenangkan, walaupun agak aneh..

#1: Taeyang – I need a girl (Ver.2/Dance ver.)

I damn love it since the first time I listened to this song. In fact, I’m rarely listen to Taeyang’s solo songs. Wedding Dress is ok, but in my opinion, this song is so good & I can’t stop to listen to it. In the video, Sandara Park of 2NE1 became the role model & she even did the choreo. She’s really gorgeous. I love the whole choreos with those simple black & white outfits. Well, G-Dragon looks great too! Oh, I actually loved it for months, so I took it on the first place.

#2: BoA – GAME

Yaay~ The real queen of Kpop is back! She’s not only a queen of Kpop, but she’s the brightest star of Asia & the world! As a fan of BoA, I’m glad that she’s back to Korean music industry since her last album `GIRLS ON TOP` on 2005.  She brings a new style in her 6th album `HURRICANE VENUS`. Her music style became heavier. Of course, I’m so surprised when I see this video. `Game` has been chosen as BoA’s first music video of `Hurricane Venus` & it’s been released on the album release’s time countdown. This video shows BoA with sexy & mature features, blonde hair-dye, & there’s even a scene showed BoA with her friends clinking in a ‘small party’. She’s already became a woman, not a girl anymore About the song, to be honest, I love it more than `Hurricane Venus`. The beats may lighter than `Hurricane Venus` & I thought, that’s the point. Dunno why, I really want to see her performed this song on the stages

#3: BoA – HURRICANE VENUS

This is the main song of BoA’s 6th album. As I said above, `Game` took a place more for me more than this song. Okay, the choreo may looked cool & sexy. The video also looked have so many futurism & modern features. I just don’t like some mixed sounds that made it kinda cracked up.It’s annoying for me. Overall, I still like it.

#4: Big Bang – LaLaLa

An old one XD I just realized that this song sounds good. The members looked young, so different with their current features. The point is G-dragon have lines on this song, not only for rapping. He sounds ok though. I just confused how come he gets less lines now.

#5: Secret – Madonna

I never listened to Secret’s songs. Yeah, it’s honest. I see that this song became a hot topic, and so, I’m trying to listen to it. The MV showed the mature style of Secret members & I thought they’re succeeded. They left their younger style & it fits them well. The song isn’t bad, I just thinking that their ‘Madonna~donna~’ line sounds weird =p The choreo seems similar with their previous song `Magic` that also sounds good.

Those are the good videos that recommended. Even though you’re not a Kpop lover, just try to listen to those songs. Who knows, you will love them lol. So random. Well, I hope BoA will make a music video of her ballad main song `옆사람 (Stand By)`. It’s so beautiful. I wanna see her ballad song became an MV

Am I over writing?

Actually, this is my mom’s hometown but I’d love to waste my holiday here. I’m so close with my relatives here, so I won’t boring for some times.
I will continue my on-going “project”; translating some news about Wonder Girls when they came to Indonesia right after I back to my house, because I don’t have enough time to get on the line here.

Have a great holiday everyone!!! =]

Cheers,

Orin.

Bad Girl, Good Girl~ ♫

Spam?? =D

All of Kpop lovers must have know about the news that a lot of newbie debuted this year. And of course, the most booming one is for girlgroup. There’s a lot of girlgroups debuted along since 2009 until now. I even just know some of them lol

In 2009, I felt in love with the newcomers such as After School and f(x). I also like some songs from 2NE1 and 4Minute. Although that, I have no new idol, or I can say that no one impressed me. There’s also a lot of girlgroups out on 2010, such as SISTAR or Girl’s Day. But I just have interest with this one: miss A, the new girlgroup from AQ Entertainment, a sub-label of JYP Entertainment.

Suzy, Min, Fei, & Jia

miss A is a 4-membered group, consist of 2 members from China, Fei & Jia; also 2 members from Korea, Min & Suzy. They debuted with their main song “Bad Girl, Good Girl” from their first mini album “BAD BUT GOOD” released on July 1st, 2010. They have their first debut stage at MNET M!Countdown on the same day.

Check out miss A’s debut music video “Bad Girl, Good Girl” below.

I dunno why, but I thought this song is so catchy & addictive. I’m also impressed with their stage performances. They’re so energetic & powerful. Their voices also good! My sister even loves them since the first time she saw the video. I recommended this girlgroup =P I’ve been waiting for another girlgroup like this for long times.

I disagree with the “..haven’t been recognized in Indonesia” since there are a lot of Indonesian Wonderfuls! Even though, there are just 3000 people who came to the showcase, I think it would be more if the whole Indonesian Wonderfuls gathered.
