Girls' Generation - Uncle Version

Bands in Korea and Japan are just getting bigger and bigger.



It's no longer four or five in a group. Those are so yester-year.





Which is why Girls Generation is the new fad now.









Have you seen their most popular song 'Gee'? There are two popular video versions.



Here is the dance version.









Now have you seen the uncle version?



It's so funny can die.









The scary thing is, it's actually pretty good. :O





Girls' Generation is a nine-member South Korean girl group (can't be called band when it's that big, lol) formed by S.M. Entertainment.



The group started in 2007 and suddenly shot to fame in 2009 with the first single 'Gee' that year topping all digital music charts breaking a record for nine consecutive wins on Music Bank, among other many tops and achievements.

Amy Winehouse Dead at 27

It came as such a shocking news when I first heard about the talented Amy Winehouse was found dead at her London flat, aged 27.

Yet it didn't came as too much of a surprise as the artist herself has a long history of drug and drink abuse, as well as a penchant for bad relationship.

What shook me a little was the fact that she was so young, my age to be exact, and so much more talent to show to the world. I don't know a lot of notable artists in the past that has on before the age of 30. With only 9 years in the industry, she has produced some of the most inspiring songs such as Rehab.

When I looked at her photos, and seeing through those heavily kohl-ed eye make ups, she's really a natural beauty with a very, extremely, troubled soul.

:(

Best Spa Hotel in the World - Sofitel Queenstown Hotel & Spa

When it comes down to the best, it can get pretty subjective.

However, when Sofitel Queenstown Hotel & Spa in New Zealand achieved the Exclusive Qualmark status earlier this year, being the only hotel that's been awarded such title;

it then immediately landed itself in the top spot in the spa category of Travel+Leisure - USA's leading travel magazines.

Apart from its impeccable service, I would presume, Sofitel Queenstown Hotel & Spa launched LeSpa in September 2007 in the midst of rugged terrain and glacial lakes, providing the ultimate "New Zealand" spa experience; yes they offer "Maori" ritualistic spa to top it all off.

After a further $2 million refurbishment and extension in 2010, Sofitel Queenstown Hotel & Spa found themselves in top in 2010.
