I think I'm UGLY.

When the latest 2NE1 single, UGLY was released, I was at work and watched it at my office (YES, Youtube is not blocked wheeeeeee~). The CPU speakers didn't do much justice to the song, so when I got home I didn't bother looking for the MV again.

And then today I watched the girls' performances on SBS Inkigayo - a short performance for Hate You while they did a full song for UGLY.

Bleah the chorus just hit the spotla. It dugged out all the insecurities I've been trying to hide by appearing with a I-don't-give-a-fuck attitude most of the time.
Hey, your hair is thinning! Why won't you go get a treatment?
I don't give a fuck.
Hey, you have elephant thighs!
I don't give a fuck.
Hey, your teeth are all crooked!
I don't give a fuck.
Hey, you belly is bulging!
I don't give a fuck.
Hey, your flabby arms!
I don't give a fuck.
Hey, you have hyperhidrosis! (although I didn't get diagnosed for that. but I do sweat a lot)
Again, I don't give a fuck.

But you see, I do give a fuck. Hey, I give more than one fuck okay?

I don't get why everyone brings them up when I myself try not to think/talk about my insecurities. I know I have a double chin/flabby arms/3 spare tyres/thinning hair/crooked teeth/etc you don't have to remind me. And it doesn't help that my (girl)friends are all on the petite side - makes me look like a giant when I'm around them (although it's a bonus cause I'm taller than them! heehee) and they're all very pretty!

So shut up and let me be.

Anyways, back to the song. I think it's pretty good. It's different from the other 2NE1 songs - this is a little bit rock. The lyrics are pretty much on the pessimistic side, but I think it represents the feelings of people with the insecurities, boys or girls, young and old.

But I like the beats, the melodies, the kick-ass feel it gives. I'm hoping to see them perform this with a band. Get a J-rock band, please! Get Shintarou, Nobuto, Akira and Katsuya to play the instruments for you. And maybe Takuya will do beatboxing. Or maybe sing backing vocals LOL. Oh make him dance, I don't mind. heehee.

WeeN's note: Shintarou, Nobuto, Akira, Katsuya and Takuya are members of the J-rock band that I adore called UVERworld. I might do a writeup on them someday I guess. Before they release more albums than I can handle. LOL.



I think I'm ugly
And nobody wants to love me
Just like her I wanna be pretty
I wanna be pretty
Don't lie to my face
Telling me I'm pretty

I think I'm ugly
And nobody wants to love me
Just like her I wanna be pretty
I wanna be pretty
Don't lie to my face
Cause I know I'm ugly

Hate You

But I love these girls.



Awesome-ness.

Twenny-Wann

We've all heard of Forever 21, an American clothing store chain which makes (almost) all the girls go weak on the knees, starry-eyed and wallet-empty. I've been into the store (in Malaysia) a couple of times, only managed to get a halter top, a belt and a set of bangles (not at the same time obviously). The store hurts my wallet.

By the way do you know that in the US their things are considered cheap?

I watched some show on AEC where Patty Hou went to LA (or was it NY?) and she went crazy-shopping in Forever 21! She bought some glasses and little pretty things and most of the things were under $10!

=_=

Anyways, I'm not here to talk about Forever 21, I'm here to speak on a bunch of Korean girls who had decided to name themselves Twenny-Wann.

Okeh. I deliberately spelled the name of the group wrongly, the group's name is

2NE1
pronounced as "twenty-one" or if you want to hip-hopsise/reggae it as "twenny-wann" or "to anyone" according to here.

Another product of YG Entertainment besides Big Bang, Se7en (owh hottie hottie), 1TYM and many more (if you all rajin go and wiki YG Entertainment), this group boasts hip-hop, reggae (I wonder what else) and girl power with attitude!

The girls first appear alongside Big Bang in a song titled Lollipop, which is I would say a mixture of happy dance and hip hop! Please watch the VERY COLOURFUL video below and get your eyes burnt out or something due to the excessive use of colours on their clothes.

*grins*


The four girls then debuted with their first single called FIRE, which is like..hmm.. reggae+hiphop which is a really cool and addictive track! It's currently stuck in my head now and I want to learn the dance moves!


Cool huh?

I like Minzy (the one with the short hair, and she's freaking only 15!!!! I love the way she raps and dances) and CL (damn yeng lehhhh, check out her clothes and very reggae way of rapping). Bom (sang in Big Bang's We Belong Together) is such a cutie and Dara's hot too!

They are different than JYP's Wondergirls though.. But I'm liking 2NE1 better now! I hope to hear their other stuff soon!



Eh Eh Eh Eh Eh Eh Eh
