And I'm Back Up

So this is what happened...

I had a mini-renovation and the guys disconnected one of the phones, only to reconnect it to the wrong port of the ADSL filter, thus lagging my internet connection.

Here's what I missed:
-HyoMin appeared on Invincible Youth 2!
-and more of my videos got taken down from YouTube (don't worry, I've started uploading them only DailyMotion)

It's been tough fighting with slow Internet speed, and speaking of fighting, I've never seen Qri as unladylike as this:

Internet Down-ish

I understand that more and more of my videos on YouTube are being taken down, but unfortunately, my modem/ router has been giving me headaches recently - my connection speed is down to a crawl. Will try to fix it and re-upload the videos.

A very helpful friend by the name of Milkyway has help made English Subtitles for the following video.

If any of you are available, why not try a little subbing, it helps improves your language abilities too.

How Korean Age Works

Quite a number of people has asked me how Koreans calculate their ages, so here's simple explanation/ guide.
I hope I'm right.

here's an exception - she's alway 18

Basically, Koreans calculate their ages the same way Chinese used to do it - you're born as a 1-year-old, and for every new lunar year, you gain +1 bonus to your age.

So a quick way to find out how old your favorite idol (which I hope is T-ara) is to just add 1 to the idol's age after the idol's birthday of the year is over.

Here's an example:

YouTube Links for You

I've split it into 4 parts and uploaded them to YouTube. Enjoy!

Even if you're not free, go to part 4, 4m35s, listen to it with earphones and/or turn up the volume; listen for around 20s, is the sound in the background BoRam's crying? Or is it just me tired from subbing xD

[eng sub] T-ara on SunHee's A Night like This Radio Show

[edit: I didn't know DailyMotion spam ads, shall upload to YouTube when I'm free]

It's finally out!
Note: the quality of the sub is sort of low as the Chinese subtitles skipped many parts and aren't really coherent. For some parts, I actually listened really hard and google translated the Korean in English. (also, I used DailyMotion, I hope it's not that bad)

On the show, T-ara talked about their past relationships and what they hope the future ones will be like; so here's what to look out for in this 44minutes long radio show:
JiYeon's Ideal Type
Qri Crying?
HyoMin's Interruption
BoRam Crying

Here are the exciting bits:

Harmonizing

Sorry in advance for the recent onslaught of SoYeon-related post; after all, she is my bias and I have been doing some intense subbing of the radio show.

In short, the radio show is one of the hardest shows I've attempted - it has all members of T-ara talking together, puns in Korean, sub-standard Chinese subtitles, and worst of all, there's no video to look at while subbing! (but the content makes the subbing worthwhile)

Anyway, here's SoYeon's impromptu harmonizing to YoSeob's singing of GOD's "Lies".


While I'm not a singer, I do sing once in a while, and harmonizing is something I have been trying to do (without any success).
