Lt Gen. Arthur Percival, led by a Japanese officer, walks under a flag of truce
to negotiate the capitulation of Allied forces in Singapore, on 15
February 1942. It was the largest surrender of British-led forces in
history.
The Battle of Singapore was fought in the South-East Asian theatre of the Second World War when the Empire of Japan invaded the Allied stronghold of Singapore.

Though what it seems the current korean music industry trend been dominating by groups, there are those solo artists that has that 'wow' factor standing alone.

Next, we have 'sub-units'. Sub-units are part of a smaller group from a larger group. Technically, they are still part of that larger group, but they 'go out' from that larger group and form a smaller group, and form their own concept or image. It gives the opportunities for members in these sub-units to show expand their talents and skills. Here are some of those sub-units.

Next, we have what we called the 'mixed' groups or co-ed. Basically, as the name says, its mixed. Its members consist of men and women. Other form of group that fall under this category are collaborations which in essence it sorts of a 'special project'.

Next, we move on to boy groups/band. Just like the girl groups, some of them have been making the headlines last year. Its the mix of old and new. Many fans would know that, and as a fact that the girl groups have been dominating most of the weekly popular music charts. Also, if I'm not mistaken there were more debutant than the boy groups last year.

And so, were going into the last 'branch' which is K-Pop. What else there to say about K-Pop. Korean music is not entirely new to me. There was a time where if I were to put it in my iPod list of 100 songs, most of them will be english and malay songs and only a handful of korean songs. But, today, if there were 100, all of it will be K-Pop... (^^)...

So now, going into my third 'branch' which we call it 'variety show'. As the name suggests 'variety', the basic concept of it are fun or plating games. Having fun in a variety of ways. Otherwise it would be called 'variety' wouldn't it? Variety shows time slot are usually short, 20 minutes, half-an-hour, or maybe a full hour, however, sometimes the series or episodes can go on for seasons Shahrul Nizam Mohamedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06306106154352153742noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629268949956546159.post-18227585038120831372012-01-04T13:10:00.002+08:002012-01-04T13:18:07.975+08:00[RE-WIND 2011][#39] Going BORDERS

As a record crowd looked on, the space shuttle Atlantis landed softly at Kennedy Space Center on July 21, 2011, marking the final shuttle mission for NASA and ending the 30-year program. The idea for the reusable spacecraft was hatched in 1972, during the Nixon administration. It was intended to become part of a shuttle space station, with hopes of a possible future human trip to Mars.
