My Fascination With The North

One thing that I know is that most Malaysians are obsessed with South Korean singers, popstars, actors, drama, songs or whatever.

I don't give a shit really and no,

I do not watch Boy's Over Flowers.

(Except for a few episodes and that's the Japanese version)


Well, my point is-

Those actors, singers and popstars- I can say that 99.9999999999999% of them are South Koreans and not many people know about these North Koreans.

I don't have anything against them really (heck, I wish that I have a Korean girl as my wife..haha)..it's just that, I pity the North Korean citizens..a lot.

While the south side of Korea enjoys a wealthy dose of economy, social and entertainment; the north side in the meantime, suffers under the communism-led government.


I've written a few blogposts regarding North Korea and read a lot of other people's post too. I love the picture collection sets from boston.com regarding life in North Korea..really sums it up for me.

North Korea is such a mystery..it fascinates me a lot..i hope these photo essays could show a few glimpses of what would be the life of communism really is.

The Capital City Of North Korea- Pyongyang



The North Korean Army





The North Korean Society







Fascinating, isn't it?

Appreciate our lives here in Malaysia- we don't have to undergo such hardships to continue our lives and one interesting fact-

The citizens of North Korea never tasted chocolate before.

You guys can read more of it at boston.com, businessinsider.com, nationalgeographic.com and time.com

Tsunami At Japan

The world was devastated by the news of Japan, where it was severely hit by an earthquake yesterday.

I thought that it was just a tremor, but when I saw the news and the video footage of how powerful the earthquake was yesterday, I was left silenced.

The tsunami resulted from the earthquake flooded all over northern Japan- cars, boats, lorries; each and every one of them are pushed through the powerful tides of the tsunami.

Even me myself was quite unsettled, when I heard that there was some tsunami alerts on all over the world yesterday. Malaysia, was on that alert, too- but thankfully, nothing happened and I felt blessed.

Here's some video that I watched from youtube recently.









Sincere condolences to the victim of the earthquake and tsunami in Japan- be strong, get up and stay together.
