Happy Birthday T.O.P
:)
♥
/PS-I know my Photoshop skills suck. And that I'm not very artistic. But I already tried my best. It's the thought that counts anyway :)
/PPS-I see why they say "Never Trust Wikipedia". Dramawiki gave me the wrong name for TOP -.- >:( I HAVE FIXED IT ;D

생일축하합니다, 톱
It's 12am in Korea now, sooo...
Happy 22nd Birthday to the oh-so-(insert word of choice because I have too many) T.O.P from Big Bang! Happy 23rd, in terms of Korean age, nonetheless. It's been uber cool getting to know Big Bang & you, Mr 최승현, although it's been some pretty weird & messed up months, but yeah, I have enjoyed myself very much tee hee!
(I have been waiting all day to be able to officially wish TOP a Happy Birthday!) I was supposed to post a picture here to commemorate his birthday, but I didn't have time to finish it today :( :( Will be continuing work on it today & posting it up as soon as I'm done. Am rather disappointed by my slowness & lousiness with Photoshop. Sigh. I wish I had Photoshop at home :/
Posted!
Be back with better stuff ♥

Bearbrick update!
I also forgot to post this just now, but anyway, guess what? Bearbrick Series 19 is coming out in December! According to the website anyway, which has this date on the page for it: 2009 年 12 月 and then some Japanese words that I don't recognise. So, I'm guessing it should come out in December :D OH, but then I see the word 定 at the end of the Jap phrase... Does that mean that Series 19 can be pre-ordered from December onwards? (Currently Series 19 is in the Preorder section of the website)
Yeah, so this is the picture they have there, which I took a screen capture of! :D
Of course, the first thing you will notice is the nice n' big UGLYDOLL sign there, which is SERIOUSLY the coolest thing kay!! This is totally what's hyping me up for Series 19 - it's gonna be epic! (Okay, I'm exaggerating mostly) But I know I'm definitely looking forward to getting my hands on it!!!
By the way, the little square-shaped image next to the word SERIES19 was pasted in by me coz I thought it was cute! If you squint hard enough, you will see that it says TOP SECRET in red. Just like what I've done. I thought it was a cute concept! Hehehe.
Anyway, I've been waiting & hoping for David Horvath to collaborate with Medicom to produce some uber cool Bearbricks ... and finally my wish comes true! YAAAAAAAAY! I can't wait to see what those Uglydoll Bearbricks are gonna look like!!
Also, I am wondering whether I should get 100% (i.e. wait till they are not blind boxed) or whether I should just jump straight to 400%. But then, at 28cm, 400% does seem a little too big for my liking... how? Waiting for the 100% boxes to be de-blindboxed may take a long time, but 400% costs so much more & are so huge! Argh.
I think my mother may flip if I continue wanting to buy toys at this rate.
I mean, other than wanting that International Love Hearts Bearbrick at 400% (yes, I am insistent on buying it hokay), I've got these guys here that I want as well! Sigh. I need to stop being so materialistic!!!
Maaaaan, life is tough. :/ Why do I always desire so many things in life >:( I need to stop this bad addiction to toys & materialism. After all, what did I learn on Saturday? To live within my means and be satisfied with what I have, making do with whatever I have & making do with whatever I don't have. ANGELINE, YOU DON'T NEED SO MANY TOYS! :( :( :(
You see the crisis I face? Sigh. Out ♥

Hello hello!
Today I just did my very last Chinese paper ever. Am feeling many emotions, of course. There's the relief that finally, I have taken my 'A' Level Chinese paper, but then there's also a tinge of sadness and nostalgia, because it is, as mentioned, the very last time that I will be taking a Chinese paper. I mean, as a student, I've been learning Chinese from kindergarten, and now, to not have any more Chinese lessons, wow, it sure feels really sad. Which then brings me to the feeling of weirdness, where there's no more Mother Tongue lessons (or rather, CL1) and no more Chinese tuition. So weird. So sad. Sigh.
Of course I'm not helping myself by playing the Acoustic version of Koe Wo Kikasete on repeat whilst blogging, which is half distracting me and half making me wallow more in my emotions. :/ :) I really can't wait to get the Single album for it kay! Ora Yeah, the other song in the album, is way cool. Seriously. Makes me feel like dancing, which doesn't really go with the whole Koe Wo Kikasete feel, but who doesn't love a good get-up-and-dance song?
EXCEPT TOP speaking Engrish at the start. That almost killed the song for me, but the rest of the song saved it. TOP, please, please please PLEASE improve your language skills. You are so cool & everything, but when you speak like that... It kinda ruins the image :( :( :( [I might have to pretend I'm deaf everytime I start playing the song] [AT least it improves in the middle of the song, because his Engrish is not so obvious then. :/]
After the paper, I went to the ICA Building to collect my new passport, in which I look so rotund in. I can only wait for 5 years to be up, so that I can chuck this current passport in the bin/to one side and hopefully submit a picture that looks a trillion times better :/
THEN, I made my way down to Chinatown! First time that I'm going to Chinatown by myself! (Okay, same for the ICA Building, but nobody really gives 2 hoots about that) Chinatown has some really weird road drawings on streetdirectory.com, like seriously. Eu Tong Sen St (ETSS) & New Bridge Rd (NBR) run along next to each other, yet they separate them by drawing the MRT station in between them. It TOTALLY confused me. -.- They make it seem like ETSS & NBR are one-way streets, when they could actually just be one road name by themselves. T.T
I was a little worried when I was walking to China Square Central, because I'd never been there before, but I reached there easily after clearing up my initial confusion at ETSS & NBR. -.-" Anyway, it felt familiar, but I guess small shopping malls could have similar layouts/shops.
Finally went to Ozzo Collection! Is good there, is good. But I bet it would've been cooler if I'd gone earlier - the shop seemed a little empty. Maybe it was a sign from God, but I'd accidentally left the house without bringing extra money, so thankfully Anna paid me back the money for Angeline's present. I wanted to buy more (e.g. Treeson & Friends, etc), but I didn't have enough cash, which was a slight pity, but, I guess, life's like that.
I couldn't find the Be@rbrick section! But after reviewing toysrevil's photostream, I realised that it was behind the counter. -_- Oh well, lesser temptations for me to deal with.
And lastly, the catch of the day. I will be revealing more of this day by day (haha, Haru Haru), but then again, you can see him in his full entirety on the web. ANYWAY, I wanna do things the hard way, so that's my prerogative HAHA.
Back to preparing for OP. SIGH. Is so very boring yah. ♥ Out!

Title here!
PS - I just added in titles for my post. Don't laugh at 'em because I know some are weird ok. It's just that I feel that some titles are quite appropriate to be posted. So, I have finally decided to put in the code for titles.
The only problem? I've just spent at least the past half an hour trying to figure out how to make the title link to the actual post itself. For some reason, even though I have put in the right code (ie, the one with the link), the title refuses to be a link.
I have officially given up on that nonsense and will get back to PW/Chinese.
PPS - The lines don't overlap anymore! I got rid of the line-height code and now, everything falls in place nicely YAY.
I know keep posting videos instead of blogging properly, but I will soon okay! Currently me has the Chinese 'A' Level & the PW 'A' Level to deal with cos one is coming up this Monday while the other is coming up next next Tuesday. Ultimate stress. A LEVELS! IT'S THE A LEVELS *SCREAMZ*!
BUT BUT BUT Big Bang's new video is ultimate. A MUST WATCH. Highly biased statement, but I'm serious, it's nice. You know, BOOMS! TOTALLY OKAY.
And then, we have TOP staring at the camera with that look. With that nice hairstyle. And those nice clothes. And the super super pretty scenery. Oh goodness. (The last statement before "Oh goodness" was for the entire video, not just TOP) (When did I become such a fangirl?!?!?!) Anyway, main point, yummy video, yummy TOP.
^GO WATCH IT^
Today is such a happy happy day man. 2NE1's Park Bom video was there for me to watch, Big Bang's video too, plus we got back our overall score (and although I once again underperformed) I'm just thankful to God for allowing me to pass all the subjects I really wanted to pass. I'm also thankful that I can promote safely. I just need to work REAL HARD on my Geog stuff now. I must be a good girl! Cannot keep doing so much K-pop nonsense meh :/
I am glad that I stayed away from Kpop mainly on Monday & Tuesday. Mainly. :/ I HAVE to keep to the Wednesday/Friday/Sunday thing. Anyway, time for Chinese. Sigh. I wanna keep on listening to Koe Wo Kikasete (Let Me Hear Your Voice)! Have definitely made up my mind to buy the single when it comes out - IN THE SINGAPOREAN EDITION because I have had it with overpriced Japanese goods. -_-
I really want this cover:Because the star is so pretty! Plus, you know I have a thing for star shapes! But it's so exxy because it comes with some Taeyang collectible thingy - totally not my thing.
If not, I guess Universal will probably release this cover for the Singapore edition. (It BETTER come with the DVD okay!): Okay, I am done talking rubbish. Big Bang all the way maaaaan! ♥ Fighting!
Hey, I am aching all over & cannot type properly so for the moment, I can't do a proper blog post. :/ Meh. Anyway, just saw G-Dragon's music video for Butterfly & it's so prettily done! :) I thought that I should post it because I really like the song as well... The song itself is very soothing & the chorus, though sung by Jin Jung, is superbly nice to sing along to!
PLUS, see if you are as toy crazy as me (but it's not that hard anyway), you could try spotting a My Little Pony toy in there! Hehe. I LOVE IT when people feature toys. YEAH I LOVE TOYS KAY ;D
Kay. Man. Typing this post was a killer! :( Wants to collapse now. :( :( Right. Hope you liked the vid! I did! It was so magical XD Cannot. type. any. more. Out! ♥

T.O.P and toys
Hi everyone! I know I've been on a long hiatus and bad me didn't even bother updating my blog even after the exams had ended. Yeah the long hiatus was due to the fact that I was supposed to be study8ing for exams, but once again, like EVERY OTHER STUPID YEAR, I have to get distracted by something or another and I end up leaving studying for my exams till the very last minute. >:( I always hate that I always do stupid things. Grrr.
Okay, this post isn't really an update on MY life per se, it's more of an update on my fascination with T.O.P and his toys, kekeke.
Firstly, we'll talk about my newest discovery! Teehee! Was re-watching the episode 2 T.O.P cut from his new drama, IRIS, and I noticed that he was playing with a Rubik's Cube. Being the fanatic obsessed fangirl that I am (yes, I know, SIGH), I had to go search for it, since I noticed that it had a star on it & wasn't your regular Rubik's Cube, but a variation! oooooh~ Don't understand what I mean? It's okay, I took a screen cap of it, courtesy of CodeMonmonSeason4: Yeap. Somebody still hasn't finished solving it! Hohoho. Not that I'm any better, because I can't even solve a normal one. HAHA.
Anyway, a quick search online led me to find the name of this cool toy! (You KNOW I love the star shape :D) It's actually called the Megaminx! If you read the article: "It has a total of 50 movable pieces to rearrange, compared to the 20 of the Rubik's cube." WHOA, A WHOPPING FIFTY MOVABLE PARTS??!!?! That'll take a million years for me to figure out, being the idiot that I am! Lol. Here's a picture of the real thing, up close: Credit: Wikipedia Megaminx Article Kekekekekekeke. Pretty cool if I say so myself. Yes, that was a partially biased statement, because anything that T.O.P has is cool in my eyes. *-* (Those are sparkly eyes)
Except this: Credit: Texas Toyz I don't even wanna talk about it. :/
Secondly, is the Be@rbrick that was in TOP's room in Japan when they featured it in Big Bang TV! :D :D :D Initally, before I found out that he likes Be@rbricks, I was interested in them because I'd seen some tokidoki designs on Be@rbricks in PI@Iluma and because I like tokidoki, I was fascinated. Plus, they had a Spongebob design too - who can resist Spongebob? (No just kidding) (Anyway, I'd shown the tokidoki and Spongebob Be@rbrick designs on my blog previously if you read it hehe)
Then, when I'd found out that TOP liked 'em, or rather, they are one of his current obsessions (besides suits and shoes), I liked them even more. ^^ ANYWAY, I've been trying to find the name of the Be@rbrick at his room in Japan, which was this one: But it was always to no avail, because I have practically 0% knowledge of Be@rbrick maaaan! Anyway, recently, this person started following me on Twitter and I realised that they had a toy blog. Which so happened to be featuring Be@rbricks at the moment!
(Okay, am lazy to keep using the @ sign in Be@rbricks, so will type it as Bearbricks from now on) Anyway, so I went to ask them for the name of the Bearbrick, but they didn't know :( Awww. But it wasn't so bad, because they directed me to this page, called bearbrick love! It was a site entirely dedicated to Bearbricks - whoa! Mustering up my courage once again, I emailed the guy running the site, Ariel (he's Filipino), and enquired about the name of the Bearbrick, providing a link for this CLEARER BY A MILE picture of that Bearbrick that I'd miraculously found! I honestly cannot remember how I'd found it. :/ (Hm, memory is failing me!) Credit: Hypebeast
Ah! I half-remember now. I was searching for "Where the Wild Things Are" (WTWTA) (not sure exactly what got to me search for it) and I was led to the Hypebeast site on WTWTA Bearbrick and Kubrick toys. (Really cute!) Then I clicked on the Bearbrick tag and was led to the Medicom toy exhibition, held in July. AH, FUN. At least I'm not that senile yet.
So, Ariel sent me back a reply (real fast) and my search for the name of the Bearbrick was over! It was the International Love Hearts Bearbrick, which was designed by Alexander Girard!!! Which of course, prompts me to scour the net for it!
Being the loser that I am, I wasn't sure what size Bearbrick it was. It definitely couldn't be 100% (7cm), so was it 400% or 1000%??? Basically, I came to the conclusion that it was 1000%, because I assume 400% (28cm) would be pretty small and 70cm didn't seem that big. LITTLE DID I KNOW HOW WRONG I WAS. I mean, it was sitting standing atop some drawers. It can't be that small right? ANYWAY, point being that
1000% Bearbricks can cost up to SG$400-500.
Good grief.
Anyway, went to Plaza Sing yesterday to get Angeline's present and as I was walking past Action City, NOTICED THAT THEY HAD THE 1000% VERSION OF THE INTERNATIONAL LOVE HEARTS BEARBRICK!!!! It was pretty obvious that THAT was the 1000% one, because it was, to put it simply, EXTREMELY HUMUNGOUSLY HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE. 70cm, my dear friends, is not that small. Please do not be as stupid as me.
Unfortunately, Action City doesn't have the 400% size version of that Bearbrick, so I have emailed them to ask them whether they will be bringing in any stocks.
I am so shameless.
If they do, I AM TOTALLY WANTING THAT FOR CHRISTMAS (from my parents) !!!!! GAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!
Okay okay, enough rubbish talk. SEE, SO MANY PICTUREZ RIGHT? Tomorrow, because we don't have any PW meeting anymore, I will start work on my STGCC post (yeah I know, long overdue!), finish watching YG TV and not do anything else related to Kpop, because it's only fair that I stick to the Wednesday, Friday and Sunday schedule. Excuse me while I go watch their Cafe Latte mini-concert now. I have been wanting to watch it since official videos of it were posted online, but was resisiting because I was supposed to be studying for my exams. -.-
Also, I'd just watched T.O.P's bit in the 'The Secret Star: Big Bang' episode. He's such a dear. Aw. Don't we just love toys! They're totally there to keep us company yeah. (; Ah, I might as well stick the video here! For your enjoyment :D
Wow okay I just saw this on the net ): (Am floundering between listening to Gaga's Just Dance video that I posted below and doing homework and occasionally poking around the web)
The Fame Monster Edition [Limited Release] Lady Gaga
Label/Distributor: Universal Music Format: CD Number of discs (or other units): 2 Release Date: 2009/11/18 (See more items released this month) Price: 2381yen (2500yen Tax incl.) [SGD 36.93] Change Reference Currency F.S. Points: 71 points Item weight: 200 g
Description Deluxe edition of "The Fame" release from Lady Gaga to be advanced released in Japan. Includes four new songs and four acousitc(sic) version of her previous tracks.
Bonus Track: Japan edition bonus track (subject to change)
Now let me point out the point that produces the sad face. Price: 2381yen (2500yen Tax incl.) [SGD 36.93]
That's right. Lady Gaga's album has TWO CDs with about TWENTY TRACKS and COSTS CHEAPER THAN MY BIG BANG CD. Such is life, such is life. But then again, I have no power whasoever to be able to preorder the album & I'll probably have to ship it over here if I pre-order it online, so YEAH. Will probably have to pass over this one as with all other things I see on the internet, like My Friend Dave etc.

Lady Gaga - Just Dance
Just found this amazing video of Gaga singing a stripped down, maybe even the original version of Just Dance at this Marc Jacobs/V Magazine party. (She sang Poker Face there too, but it was the same as the other one I posted before)
The chorus is different: 1st chorus: Just Dance, gonna be ok, down on the floor Just Dance, spin that record babe, been here before so, Just Dance, when I scream your name when you don't call Just Dance...
2nd chorus: Just Dance, gonna be ok, da da doo doom Just Dance, spin that record babe, been here before, Just Dance, can I scream your name when you don't call Just Dance...
3rd chorus: Just Dance, gonna be ok, da da doo doom Just Dance, spin that record babe, da da doo doom Just Dance, gonna scream your name when you don't call Just Dance, Dance, Dance Just, J-J-Just mmmm...
(Deciphered with help from a comment posted by Nick871)
Super sad huh? Was almost on the verge of tearing when I heard it for the first time. It's so good. She's just so talented. :)

BIG BANG BIG BANG BIG BANG ASIA BEST
Okay, so as mentioned, I have the Big Bang: Asia Best 2006-2009 CD now whoot whoot whoot whoop deee whoop! Hehe! It's got all my favourite Big Bang hits - Haru Haru, Lie, Number 1 and Lollipop - except Last Farewell, the stuff in the Stand Up mini album and Forever with You. AT FIRST, I thought that it had Forever with you (which had Park Bom of 2NE1 in it), but it turns out, what Asia Best had was Together Forever which is the English version of Nunmul which is okay I guess. I mean, Big Bang songs are all yummy to listen to.
Have listened to it only a few times (sadly) so far. But it's been great stuff. There were some new stuff in there that I'd never heard before, like Stylish and So Beautiful that have (obviously) grown on me and made me like them too. What can I say? I like ALL Big Bang songs. OKAY, except How Gee. How Gee would've been okay if the video hadn't been so... YEAH. Totally not into the whole style of it. :/
Anyway, it blew a big (ish) whole into my pocket because I'm already broke at the moment and this made me (pardon the bad English) broke-r. (Haha, I had to put a dash between broke and r because if not it'd look like broker, and I'm not a broke, as in, stock broker HAHA) (I know my humour is really weird, thanks) FORTY THREE DOLLARS you know. FOR ELEVEN TRACKS *stabs* I have absolutely no idea how Bei Yi does it with her Kat-Tun albums. I'd kill myself shelling out so much money per CD!!! Japan is one exxxxxxxxxxxpensive place man. :( How did I survive there again? Oh wait, I didn't like Big Bang last year -.-
Ahhhhhh, also, I couldn't resist taking this picture! Guess where my aunt got the CD from?
. . . . . . .
TOWER RECORDS JAPAN!
Pretty cool huh? It feels like Tower Records hasn't been in Singapore for a loooong time, when it's only actually been 3 years. Haha, ironically it closed in 2006 (Source), the year when Big Bang debuted. IN FACT, it closed around the time when Big Bang debuted - according to that article anyway. Aw, Big Bang albums were never seen in Tower Records Singapore. :( Oh well.
On to the CD! Aja! (I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU CLICK TO ENLARGE! MOST PICTURES ARE QUITE CLEAR HEHEHE MACRO)
The super pretty cover! The whole CD is pink-based yeah! Asia Best is totally made for me like seriously. :D :D I am currently using the Asia Best CD as my msn display picture ;D The pink flap paper has some Japanese words underneath. I think it has something to do with joining Big Bang's V.I.P club (V.I.P being the name of their fans) in Japan. Have already asked Bei Yi to translate it for me after the exams :D I mean, I know I can't join, but it'll be cool to know hehe. XD
Opening the CD cover! SEE THE PINKYNESS OF THE CD? HEHEHE. Toldja it's made for me ^.^ (See, am getting influenced by Korean people and am using such emoticons now) Anyway, love the CD! It's pink to the maxxxx! And the background too, with the Big Bang logo in yellow! Whoot, love those colours!
Also, YG put in more pictures of the boys as a group = more pictures of T.O.P, although of course, he ends up being smaller :( Also, I don't know why, but most of T.O.P's pictures are either cut off in some way or another or are a "fail" (in my books anyway) Not all anyway, but most. Oh well, at least I have more pictures to stare at! ;D
The first page! Picture of the Haru Haru music video - love that video because it has so many T.O.P scenes HE HE HE. Am (once again) loving the rings he's wearing! Me want more rings! I have so few :( :( This is one of the best pictures of him. He looks so cool ( and tall) here! ;)
This is apparently a picture of their Stand Up tour in Japan which I had never known had existed. Ah well. I know that it's really uber hard to find T.O.P here, so I've circled him and put an arrow next to the circle to emphasise his whereabouts in the picture :D (Also, see what I mean by cut off? ): )
This is when they'd first started off! See how young GD, Tae Yang & Dae Sung look! Hehe! And in case you haven't figured out where T.O.P is, I've put an arrow pointing to his head. I know he looks different! He'd shaved his head back then. In a different angle, he still looked cute OKAY.
I think this picture is reminiscent of the Stand Up mini album/Remember album. They were wearing stuff like this (at least for T.O.P ANYWAY) in those 2 albums. (Also, see what I mean by cut off again? ): )
Haven't seen these pictures before, so it's refreshing :D TOP looks good ;) Haha, in the two pictures everybody but Tae Yang changes pose. Lol. Also, if you happen to be wondering why you see 3 staple bullets instead of only 2, it's because I pieced two pictures together for this image. Natural lighting was frustrating me to no end by "blocking off" people on the camera screen, so I had to take one side of the booklet first, then the other side for this page. Still, GD is mostly "blocked" by the light. -.-
This is also one of their early day pictures! They had this make-up for the bit they did of the song Big Bang is V.I.P at the end of one of their music videos (okay, I forgot which one & I'm lazy to find) Once again, arrow is there to assist you in finding TOP (Also, see what I mean by cut off again again? ): )
Have never seen these pictures before too! T.O.P doesn't look very glamorous here, but oh well, at least he looks okay! Also, if you click to expand you'll notice that this picture was taken upside down ;D (No comments on GD. Like, seriously.)
As you can see, it is very hard to see dear TOP here. So, arrow to assist you! He is also cut off here. :( So much space between Tae Yang & GD and they have to shove TOP all the way at the bottom. :( Oh well. I suppose the date there (2006 08 29) was the date they released their first single :D
The back of the booklet. If you have not already realised, it's got a reflective surface, so you can see yourself in it when you stare at it (This is another reason why I like the cover haha) (Don't get the wrong idea. I am not so narcissistic that I have to keep looking at myself -.- I just think it's really funky)
The back of the CD casing! It's very clear! You can even read the puny words at the bottom too kay ;) Gotta love macro at its best! Hehe
And finally, for those of you who can read Korean, you can click to enlarge this picture and sing along to Big Bang songs! Woo hoo! For me, I look out for the English words and sing along when it comes to the English words haha (no, I'm not that pathetic. I can sing some of the Korean bits too OKAY)
Ahhh! Reached the end finally. Am a wittle bit squeezed of words to say, am feeling no real inspiration to blog aw :( Life has been boring, nothing much exciting other than the addition of another Big Bang CD to my life. And that I've been listening to too much 2NE1 and G-Dragon (We we we the, we the leaders; you ain't in the game, you just cheerleaders - Haha, love singing along to CL's opening line in GD's "The Leaders"). And I haven't been doing enough work. Oh well.
Sooooo, I guess it's time for me to round off the wasting time session online :/ Need to send a (super long overdue) reply to Pris's email and then go back to work :/ Meh. ♥ Out¬
Angeline
Yeah, so this is the picture they have there, which I took a screen capture of! :D
I will be revealing more of this day by day (haha, Haru Haru), but then again, you can see him in his full entirety on the web. ANYWAY, I wanna do things the hard way, so that's my prerogative HAHA.
Because the star is so pretty! Plus, you know I have a thing for star shapes! But it's so exxy because it comes with some Taeyang collectible thingy - totally not my thing.
Yeap. Somebody still hasn't finished solving it! Hohoho. Not that I'm any better, because I can't even solve a normal one. HAHA.

The first page! Picture of the Haru Haru music video - love that video because it has so many T.O.P scenes HE HE HE. Am (once again) loving the rings he's wearing! Me want more rings! I have so few :( :( This is one of the best pictures of him. He looks so cool ( and tall) here! ;)
This is apparently a picture of their Stand Up tour in Japan which I had never known had existed. Ah well. I know that it's really uber hard to find T.O.P here, so I've circled him and put an arrow next to the circle to emphasise his whereabouts in the picture :D (Also, see what I mean by cut off? ): )
This is when they'd first started off! See how young GD, Tae Yang & Dae Sung look! Hehe! And in case you haven't figured out where T.O.P is, I've put an arrow pointing to his head. I know he looks different! He'd shaved his head back then. In a different angle, he still looked cute OKAY.
I think this picture is reminiscent of the Stand Up mini album/Remember album. They were wearing stuff like this (at least for T.O.P ANYWAY) in those 2 albums. (Also, see what I mean by cut off again? ): )
Haven't seen these pictures before, so it's refreshing :D TOP looks good ;) Haha, in the two pictures everybody but Tae Yang changes pose. Lol. Also, if you happen to be wondering why you see 3 staple bullets instead of only 2, it's because I pieced two pictures together for this image. Natural lighting was frustrating me to no end by "blocking off" people on the camera screen, so I had to take one side of the booklet first, then the other side for this page. Still, GD is mostly "blocked" by the light. -.-
This is also one of their early day pictures! They had this make-up for the bit they did of the song Big Bang is V.I.P at the end of one of their music videos (okay, I forgot which one & I'm lazy to find) Once again, arrow is there to assist you in finding TOP (Also, see what I mean by cut off again again? ): )
Have never seen these pictures before too! T.O.P doesn't look very glamorous here, but oh well, at least he looks okay! Also, if you click to expand you'll notice that this picture was taken upside down ;D (No comments on GD. Like, seriously.)
As you can see, it is very hard to see dear TOP here. So, arrow to assist you! He is also cut off here. :( So much space between Tae Yang & GD and they have to shove TOP all the way at the bottom. :( Oh well. I suppose the date there (2006 08 29) was the date they released their first single :D
The back of the booklet. If you have not already realised, it's got a reflective surface, so you can see yourself in it when you stare at it (This is another reason why I like the cover haha) (Don't get the wrong idea. I am not so narcissistic that I have to keep looking at myself -.- I just think it's really funky)
The back of the CD casing! It's very clear! You can even read the puny words at the bottom too kay ;) Gotta love macro at its best! Hehe
And finally, for those of you who can read Korean, you can click to enlarge this picture and sing along to Big Bang songs! Woo hoo! For me, I look out for the English words and sing along when it comes to the English words haha (no, I'm not that pathetic. I can sing some of the Korean bits too OKAY)
