English-subbed music video of “Pretty Girl” from Korean girls group Kara, a song from their same title mini-album which was released in early December 2008.
Cute girls, bubbly tune, self absorbant lyrics, upbeat video… which reminds me of some J-pop groups like Morning Musume and AKB48 somehow. Would be great if the choreography is more original; it’s looking a bit too similar with a few others.
The song was pretty catchy when I first listened to it, kinda fits the holiday season mood… but just ok after playing it for a few times.

A bit early for the wishes I supposed… but this is likely to my last post in 2008.
Yupe, going to take a really long break. Want to settle some unfinished business, i.e. house cleaning, bills clearing etc… would also like to spend some time to reflect on what I did in 2008 and planning on what to do in 2009. It should be a wise idea to stay away from blogging for a while to focus on the needy stuff.
Thanks to all of you who have been following this blog throughout the year; the time spent on maintaining the blog wouldn’t be as enjoyable without your support.
Enjoy the rest of 2008, see you all again in 2009!!! Ciao [Image from Muryeo]

Movie trailer of “Dragonball Evolution”, a Hollywood live adaptation of the popular Japanese anime-manga which is going to premier in March 2009… [via Japanprobe]
From a neutral point of view, the trailer doesn’t look too bad for those who don’t have much clue about the original Dragon Ball… but the DB’s fans are likely to hate this trailer/movie; it just couldn’t reflect the essence of the original work.
Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia; formerly the world’s tallest buildings.
Didn’t like the towers when it was completed in the 90s; used to think that it was a complete waste of money. Only started to appreciate the project after some global travelling over the past few years… as I began to realise the significance of having some iconic buildings or landmark in a metropolis.
Took these pics in April 2008; was testing with my new DSLR camera which was bought a few days before this…
