When You Believe

A beautiful cover from the Wonder Girls Sun Ye Ye Eun. Their pronunciation has improved dramatically.

Olympus xz-1

Finally purchased the Olympus xz-1!! Well actually, there were problems with the first one I they gave me, so I had to return that one and swap it for a new one. Unfortunately, they only had the display one left and they weren't sure when they would receive their next shipment *very annoyed. Never buying anything from that shop again.

The picture quality is excellent! Loving the art options, super macro focus, SLR quality photos and the list goes on. Not loving the lens cap though, wish it was automated and it's not really small for a compact camera, but hey, I'm not complaining.

Cannot wait to use this camera when I go overseas next week. I haven't been overseas for 5 years....ahhhh so excited, plus I need a holiday.

Here are some photos I've taken with the Olympus...

Kpop 2011

I remember posting a side note in my Favourite Kpop Artists of 2010 post about what I was looking forward to from Kpop artists in 2011. 10 months later....

Side note: What I'm looking forward to in 2011 for Kpop Artists

• Wonder Girls debut US album. Fans have been patiently waiting for almost a year for Wonder Girls breakthrough into the US market. I hope this album showcases their talents and is not some manufactured mainstream auto-tuned crap song that you hear on the radio nowadays  - Still patiently waiting, hope its as good as their 2nd Korean album Wonder World
• Big Bang's long awaited comeback to the Kpop scene. Since the Big Bang members have been concentrating on their solo careers and Japanese promotions during the past two years, fans have been patiently waiting for their Korean comeback. Hope their album is a huge success and is not some album that is only promoted for a month (that's the tend nowadays with Kpop) - An alright come back for 2011, didn't blow my mind away. Sadly, not sure when their next comeback is due to all the controversies surrounding two of the members. But I am looking forward to a Taeyang comeback!!
• BoA's US film debut. She's got some sick dance moves!! - Hope its good!
• Reconciliation between SM Entertainment and JYJ - no progress?
• SNSD's Japanese promotions. Let's hope they release an original Japanese song not their Korean songs but in Japanese - I liked their Japanese album over their Korean "The Boys" album. Hope they produce another one!
• More understanding between Kpop artists and their agencies - unsure?
• Brown Eyed Girl's comeback. Let's hope its a ballad, but I doubt it. I loved their 1st and 2nd albums - "Cleansing Cream", their only ballad they promoted this year...I didn't really like it much
• More Kpop artists coming to Australia - The 2011 Kpop Music Festival just last week in Sydney and Shinee fir this mini-concert at Town Hall!!
