I woke up today with a new resolution!

:D

I am going to live happily no matter which school i got into and become active in their activities. :)

I have only one life so i should be grateful of whatever i got and live life to the fullest. My mom have always told me it does not matter which school i enter or which course i take, in the working world what you learn might not be what you will do ultimately. She sighted so many cases whereby scholars with low EQ still searching for a job. Of course a good degree will leave a good first impression but in long term, it is your social skills.

:D

NTU, Thank you for taking me in as a student.

NUS, I will work so hard that i will make you all regret not taking me in.

… … …

So L got the letter of offer but she already accepted the SUTD offer weeks ago. :/

Is NUS sending their letters/SMS in badges or? :(

Why are they giving places to those who already accepted another offer? I don’t get it!

#Depressed.

In your social circle, there are bound to be at least a k pop fan. :) No matter how small the circle is.

I have always wondered why do K pop appeal to so many of us? Even me… who had never (used to) gone crazy over a guy/boy band before, is still deeply stuck in this black hole of kpop.

As you all know, i have always liked to relate everything to design. In this context, i wanted to discuss on how exactly do entertainment companies in korea design their idols to suit the taste of society.

Sorry for being inhuman here, but lets see…lets perceive idols as products ready for sale. They are actually, products for our souls…

What will make you feel attracted to the products?

1) Visual/Packaging? 

IN K POP TERMS:

Eg. Girl’s Generation surgery?, Lip syncing the song and focusing on the dances?, guys wearing makeups?…

2) Usability? 

IN K POP TERMS:

Eg. Fan service?,Star call?,world tours?…

3) Compatibility to our lives?

IN K POP TERMS:

Eg, Variety shows that show their different skills? gag shows?

Running man?- speed and alertness?

Drama?- Romantic guy or woman? Charismatic guy or woman?

The reason why SM is so so so successful in producing the next big star is that they really understand their target groups.

And they produce and design their idols to suit societys’ tastes…

Using the newest group EXO for example:

For China: EXO-M (Includes 4 chinese members for better communication)

For Korea: EXO-K

If EXO-K were to be a product, under the functionality and user manual list will state those below:

Product contents: D.O, Baekhyun, Chanyeol, Suho, Kai, Sehun

D.O : Visual, Singing, suitable for people that see k pop as a music style.

Baekhyun: Singing, Rapping, Humour, for females who love funny guys with a cute smile.

Chanyeol: Rapping, Visual, for ladies 20+ yet longing for a boyfriend with a cute face looking like a 15 year old,

Suho: Leader…, for ladies who like gentle guys with leadership qualities.

Kai: Dance,visual, for aunties that are still single but still want a cute and young son.

Sehun: ???, for young girls who are maturing too fast due to kpop? Or (Refer to Chanyeol’s case)

Price set by SM are infinite amount of time and screams and money of course. And of cos, SM also offers a loan programme. They can be paid separately through every concert and fan meeting the various idol groups are involved in.

:D

Went to check the mailbox at 11pm at night and there was the offer letter from NTU… 

<3

I was half happy and half sad, because i will definitely be happier if it was from NUS.NTU is just a pillow for me to fall back on. But considering the fact that there were interviews and stuffs required for NUS, maybe they need more time to process those? :/

Oh wells, my mum was really happy though… I am trying to be happy too…but..but… NUS! >.<

Most probably the results will be out in mid may.

I am still waiting…

I was really blown away by the titanic and Warhol exhibitions held at MBS. <3

The titanic one was really heart warming and the Andy Warhol one was just so glamorous. I am really impressed by the design of the whole hall.

The organiser for  the Andy warhol exhibit really captured what Warhol is really about through the decorations >.<! He even covered the lift landing on the third floor in pink and sliver! That’s what we call correlative thinking! Andy have always loved to be in the spot light. Those colours really suit him. He is a person with an attitude. And some people disliked that. ( No wonder he nearly got murdered. -.-) But in my opinion, that is what makes him unique. An artist need to have a decent amount of ego to last him through all the criticisms before he can be acknowledged on his style.

Well… as for the titanic exhibit, i really liked the experience of touching the ice berg they have placed at sub zero temperature. The organisers really wanted people to feel the iciness of the water during that night. To me, that moment of contact with the ice was priceless. Somehow i was put into the shoes of one of the passengers at that instant.

I was allocated with the boarding pass of Mrs Walter H Corbett. She didn’t survive the catastrophe. Poor soul, she’s a doctor with such a bright future. :( I was wondering why am i the only one around who was allocated with a passenger that was on the lost list. -.- Maybe i took too much pictures. hahaha. No photography was allowed btw. But i have quick hands. :p

Being an art student who goes to museums often, taking photos and spotting hidden cameras became my forte. Mr Yap this is all your fault! Photo above all! Haha!!! :D
