Sister 2013 by Jeannie Hsieh

I was about to decide I wouldn't find another CPop song for the year that I could even listen to, but this was worth the wait. Didn't really care for it the first time, but since it was kinda catchy, I took another round with it and it stuck. I like the video too - even though it's a bit out there (and on my own I would NEVER have made all the knock-off connections), I really do like it. Makes you want to dance!!!

Shang Xin De Ren Bie Ting Man Ge(傷心的人別聽慢歌) by Mayday

Don't usually find CPop songs I like, but this is seriously upbeat and catchy. The video is fun as well. Enjoy :)

Thanks to Ken Wei for the translation:

 

你哭的太累了, 你伤的太深了, 你爱的太傻了
nǐ kū de tài lèi le, nǐ shāng de tài shēn le, nǐ ài de tài shǎ le

You’re crying till too tired, you’re hurt too deep, you love dumbly

你哭的就像是末日要来了

nǐ kū de jiù xiàng shì mò rì yào lái le

You’re crying just like it’s the end of the world

oh~ oh~

所以你听慢歌, 很慢很慢的歌, 听得心如刀割

Suǒ yǐ nǐ tīng màn gē, hěn màn hěn màn de gē, tīng de xīn rú dāo gē
that’s why you listen to slow song, very very slow song, listen until you feel like as if a knife is piercing your heart

是不是应该换一种节奏了

Shì bu shì yīng gāi huàn yì zhǒng jié zòu le
shouldn’t you change into a different rhythm

 
* oh~ oh~
 

不要再问, 谁是对的, 谁是错的, 谁是谁非, 谁又亏欠谁了
bú yào zài wèn, shuí shì duì de, shuí shì cuò de, shuí shì shuí fēi, shuí yòu kuī qiàn shuí le
don’t ask anymore, who is right, who is wrong, who is and who isn’t, who owes who

 
反正错了, 反正输了, 反正自己陪自己快乐
fǎn zheng cuò le, fǎn zheng shū le, fǎn zheng zì jǐ péi zì jǐ kuài lè
Already wrong after all, already lose after all, one accompany oneself happiness after all

 
** 我不管你是谁的, 谁是你的, 我是我的
wǒ bù guǎn nǐ shì shuí de, shuí shì nǐ de, wǒ shì wǒ de

I don’t care who are you belong to, who is yours, I am mine

 
让心跳, 动次, 动次, 动次, 动次, 感觉活着
ràng xīntiào, dòng cì, dòng cì, dòng cì, dòng cì, gǎnjué huózhe
let the heart beats, moving, moving, moving, moving, feeling alive

 
我不管站着, 坐着, 躺着, 趴着, 都要快乐
wǒ bù guǎn zhàn zhe, zuò zhe, tang zhe, pā zhe, dōu yào kuài lè
I don’t care whether standing, sitting, lying upside, lying on back, all must be happy

让音乐动次, 动次, 动次, 动次, 快要聋了

ràng yīn yuè dòng cì, dòng cì, dòng cì, dòng cì, kuài yào lóng le
let the music moving, moving, moving, moving, almost deaf

不管了, 不想了, 不等了, 不要不快乐

Bù guǎn le, bù xiǎng le, bù děng le, bú yào bú kuài lè
don’t care anymore, don’t think anymore, don’t wait anymore, don’t be unhappy

伤心的人别听慢歌

Shāng xīn de rén bié tīng màn gē
sad people shouldn’t listen to slow songs

人生分分合合, 爱情拉拉扯扯, 一路曲曲折折
rén shēng fēn fēn hé hé, ài qíng lā la chě chě, yí lù qū qu zhé zhé
life is full of meeting and parting, love is going back and forth, twist and turns all the way

我还是期待明日的新景色

wǒ hái shi qī dài míng rì de xīn jǐng sè
I’m still looking forward to tomorrow’s new scenery

oh~ oh~

 

愤青都释怀了, 光棍都恋爱了, 悲剧都圆满了
fèn qīng dōu shì huái le, guāng gùn dōu liàn ài le, bēi jù dōu yuán mǎn le
Youth’s anger has relieved, singles are already taken, tragedy has become satisfactory

每一段争执都飞出和平鸽

měi yí duàn zhēng zhí dōu fēi chū hé píng gē
Every dispute are resulting into dove of happiness

Мало тебя by Serebro

I don't know which urge is greater after watching this: going to the gym or Lysoling my eyes. Even if the video is a bit out there, I like the song.

Мало Тебя

1. Не открывая замки, я буду вспоминать
Как горели огни, и от любви умирать
Может, рядом с тобой нам было хорошо
Что-то там за спиной меня так обожгло
Нежные "обними", нежно я опять
Мою руку возьми, чтобы вместе упасть
И в объятиях твоих так хочу я дышать
Не могу без тебя и не могу ждать
Припев:
Я схожу с ума, мне мало-мало-мало
Мне мало-мало-мало тебя
Знаю я сама, мне мало-мало-мало
Мне мало-мало-мало тебя
Я схожу с ума, мне мало-мало-мало
Мне мало-мало-мало тебя
Знаю я сама, мне мало-мало-мало
Мне мало-мало-мало тебя
2. И я тебе прошепчу, сейчас глаза закрой
И тихонечко в такт мне на ушко напой
Эта тихая дрожь, но я же не одна
Даже если всё - ложь, так будет не всегда
Нежные "обними", нежно я опять
Мою руку возьми, чтобы вместе упасть
И в объятиях твоих так хочу я дышать
Не могу без тебя и не могу ждать
Припев:
Я схожу с ума, мне мало-мало-мало
Мне мало-мало-мало тебя
Знаю я сама, мне мало-мало-мало
Мне мало-мало-мало тебя
Я схожу с ума, мне мало-мало-мало
Мне мало-мало-мало тебя
Знаю я сама, мне мало-мало-мало
Мне мало-мало-мало тебя
Я схожу с ума
Я схожу с ума
Мне мало-мало-мало, мне мало-мало-мало
Мне мало-мало-мало, мне мало-мало-мало тебя
Я схожу с ума, мне мало-мало-мало
Мне мало-мало-мало тебя
Знаю я сама, мне мало-мало-мало
Мне мало-мало-мало тебя
Я схожу с ума, мне мало-мало-мало
Мне мало-мало-мало тебя
Знаю я сама, мне мало-мало-мало
Мне мало-мало-мало тебя

Not Enough Of You

Without opening the locks I'll remember
The way fires were burning and we were dying of love
Maybe near to you I used to feel myself good
Something behind of me scorched me so strong
Sweet embraces, I am sweet again
Take my hand that we can fall together
I wish breathe in your arms so mush
I can't live without you and I can't wait
I'm driving crazy, it's not enough for me
Not enough of you
I know it myself, it's not enough for me
Not enough of you
I'm driving crazy, it's not enough for me
Not enough of you
I know it myself, it's not enough for me
Not enough of you
I'll whisper to you, close your eyes now
And gently sing in my ear along with me
The soft tremble, but I'm not alone
Even if it's all of lie - it will be not forever
Sweet embraces, I am sweet again
Take my hand that we fall together
I wish breathe in your arms so mush
I can't live without you and I can't wait
I'm driving crazy, it's not enough for me
Not enough of you
I know it myself, it's not enough for me
Not enough of you
I'm driving crazy, it's not enough for me
Not enough of you
I know it myself, it's not enough for me
Not enough of you

'Pain, the love of my heart' by SPEED

The choreography and chorus are really fun! Hope to see more from Speed.

Кофе - мой друг by Нервы

 

Kofe - moj drug (Кофе - мой друг)

кофе - мой друг
музыка мой драк
и всё что вокруг - я могу сыграть
дорога - мой дом
небо - моя тетрадь
пока мы вдвоём, мы точно не будем спать
кофе - мой друг
музыка мой драк
и всё что вокруг - я могу сыграть
дорога - мой дом
небо - моя тетрадь
пока мы вдвоём, мы точно не будем спать
ночь меня ждёт за мокрым стеклом
она всё поймёт - молчание слов
по струнам мой долг доводит до слёз
ты плачешь ну что ж
всё снова всерьёз.
кофе - мой друг
музыка мой драк
и всё что вокруг - я могу сыграть
дорога - мой дом
небо - моя тетрадь
пока мы вдвоём, мы точно не будем спать

Coffee's my friend

Coffee's my friend
Music's my drug
And everything around, I can lose it
The road's my home
The sky's my notebook
As long as we're together, we're just not gonna get any sleep
Coffee's my friend
Music's my drug
And everything around, I can lose it
The road's my home
The sky's my notebook
As long as we're together, we're just not gonna get any sleep
Behind the wet windowglass, the night is waiting
It'll understand everything, the words' silence
On the strings, my dept will bring to tears
You're crying, what is it?
Everything's serious again.
Coffee's my friend
Music's my drug
And everything around, I can lose it
The road's my home
The sky's my notebook
As long as we're together, we're just not gonna get any sleep

You Exist In My Song (我的歌聲裡) by Wanting

I rarely like Chinese Pop music - this is an exception. Have been listening to it on a loop because it's so beautiful T.T

Here is the song with English translation:

Heartbreak Girl - 5 Seconds of Summer

I love these guys - I first found them with this YouTube video:

Aren't they adorable? Makes me want to take a trip to Australia just to hear that accent some more :)

Sweet Dream -MFBTY

This song is rockin' and probably like no other Kpop song you've come across - and it has a bit of everything - rap, electronic beat, pop, Korean, English, creative video. Don't miss out, guys. This one is worth watching.

Update: Interview with MFBTY on EatYourKimchi here: http://www.eatyourkimchi.com/our-interview-with-mfbty/#comment-818376992 
 
Love, love, love EYK. Join the Nasties :)

 

EXO-K and EXO-M

Umm....so where was I in 2012?! Apparenty not paying attention. EXO-K(orean) and EXO-M(andarin) debuted at the end of 2011, as a mirror boy band of six guys, one of which is Korean and the other group Chinese (because that was not obvious).

Here's a taste to get you hooked:

and the Chinese version:

Here's the wiki page if you are completed dazed.
And their homepages (EXO-K and EXO-M)....and no, this does not count as stalking. But, please, obsess to your heart's desire <3

January challenge update

So I finished one of my challenges - to make an amigurumi turtle and ended up making two! They were a gift to my boyfriend's mother for Christmas. The lamb on the right side is a gift I gave my boyfriend last year when we went to Boston.

I found this pattern here.

Lost Girl, Season 1

 

This show was surprisingly addictive...I mean, nothing is spectacular about the acting. The storyline is enough to hold interest, but not super imaginative (but, frankly, I love me some SyFy, so who really cares about all these sorts of things...?) I think there are two reasons why I watched a full season in a week:

1. The people are really beautiful. Take for example, Dyson, who is a shapeshifter:

More mainstream beauties being the main actress and her good friend. And the Light Fae doctor. And Dyson's cop partner. Seriously, everybody.

 

 

2. Second reason this show is great - TV is finally bringing the fae into mainstream, as literature (albeit mainly YA) did years ago. We're all kind of tired with the vampire/werewolf mix, but how many shows have you seen that have Kelpie? or Sirens?

 

Overall, I girl Lost girl a 3/5, because although I liked it, I probably enjoyed it for reasons unrelated to the actual show itself. But I guess that still kind of makes it a success, right? A few notes, though. The main role is a Succubus, so a bit too much sex and sexually charged scenes for my taste. I will still watch the second season - I have a major wolf-crush on Dyson, and can't quite give it up yet!

 

Rating: 3/5



January Challenge

I'm not quite set on this yet, since the year already started (Happy New Year by the way!) and it's already passing me by.

For this month's challenge I will do a sampler so I can get back in the swing of things:

1. Lose 4 lbs
2. Make amigurumi turtle
3. Read 4 books
4. Make 4 new dishes

Wish me luck!

The Boys by Girl's Generation

I find Kpop really catchy and a lot of the songs, if you aren't really listening, don't even sound like they're in another language (especially since half of it IS English). Anyway, I'm not really up to date on all the great Kpop bands out there, I just fall upon things sometimes, like this song - and makes me want to listen to more!
