Latest Youtube Cover - (Wonder Girls) Be my baby

K-pop! It's everywhere! :D And my two younger sisters are quite immersed in the Korean world of dramas, variety shows and music. I heard "Be my baby" and thought that someone did a remake of Mariah's "All I want for Christmas is you". Heh. But it was the WG signature rap at the end of the song that caught my attention. I thought to myself, "Why not try something quite different?

Perhaps commenting on pictures is faster, less time-consuming(than clicking on video links) and more fun for those who are usually online. But it frustrates me that heavily narcissistic 'picture-posters' can actually generate revenue [enough to live on very comfortably] whereas there are not that many people (in general) who value substantial co...

A couple of GOOD TV arrangements

11:28 Father's Song [by Matt Redman] 10:29 The Greatest Thing  [I'm on piano but you won't see much of me. I arranged it]

Red Bean 紅豆 [A cover]

Did I post this? I forgot....I don't think so. Anyway, it's my first proper Chinese song cover. Somehow, this song rang in my head during the holidays. Thought the lyrics were particularly poignant. If you haven't watched it, enjoy.
