I'm officially a fan of Andromeda!

So...hello people!! :D

First of all, I want to announce that MY EXAM IS OVER! I'm FREE! Yay! :D I'm so happy! No more exam. No more staying up late for revision! No more coming to school for extra class! NO MORE! Now, I can play and do my fangirling as much as I want! Yatta! Hontou ni ureshii! 

Okay, actually, today I'm here to share something :D In my previous post, I talked about how my beloved country Brunei Darussalam has a lot of talented entertainers...singer...whatever! That's not the point. Hahaha. I'm here to introduce you guys ANDROMEDA! A boy group from my country that I'm now interested in the most. 

I first heard about ANDROMEDA was in October when they were chosen as the Pelangi Spotlight for the month October on Pelangi Fm (One of the famous station radio in Brunei). Their single called 'TERTIPU' is one of the famous Bruneian songs that is always being played in the radio. When I first listened to the song, I fell in love already. I mean, with their beautiful voices. I love the song, especially the rap part. It's so nice. At that time, I didn't know how these guys from ANDROMEDA look like. All I knew was that they are Chinese Bruneian. So, when I heard that they were going to perform on 4th November in Radio Television Brunei (Studio A), I quickly suggested to my friend, Naru-baka, that we should go to watch them. Plus, Neff Aslee and Seniman Jalanan were going to perform as well (I LOVE THEM!)

On 4th November, we actually went there as planned! Coming with us was Suki-chan. She already made a research before coming and she said that these ANDROMEDA guys are all good looking especially Calvin. She really wanted to meet him, that was the main reason why she came with us. I did a research on them as well, honestly. Well, I admitted that they are all good-looking. And the music video for the song 'TERTIPU' is just awesome! Especially the dance. And I found out the rapper of the group is Calvin.

Okay, back to the story. We went there. WAY TOO EARLY. The show was scheduled to start at 4 PM but the three of us arrived there before 3:30 PM. And when we entered the studio, the artists were all still rehearsing! Hahah! It was awkward. Like, seriously awkward. We sat quietly at the audience seats, watching the artists doing their rehearsal which wasn't that bad actually. It was fun that we got to see the behind the scene :P The time we entered, ANDROMEDA was practicing their new song, with Calvin playing the keyboard. Man, hearing them singing live was just so...I don't know what to say. They have really great voices. And yes. They really are good looking. My heart did a black flip when I first caught a glimpse of the members. Okay, I realized that I'm babbling a lot about how good looking these guys are... but didn't provide you with any picture of them. Hahaha.

So, people...
Let me introduce to you guys.
ANDROMEDA!! *claps*

Got this picture from their official page on FaceBook. Hopefully they won't mind about me stealing their pictures.

Very good looking, aren't they? Now, let's start with a little bit of their background. But, before that, here's a warning for you: I'm into them just recently. I did a lot of research on them already but still, my information can be wrong. Well, I'm still new in Andromeda fandom :P

So, as I already mentioned earlier, all the four members of ANDROMEDA are Chinese Bruneian (except for Anson maybe, because his info on his FaceBook account stated that he was from Sibu, Sarawak. Hmm. I'm not sure though. And Jason, I guess. Because my research found out that his father is actually a Malaysian but well, who cares. They are performing as Bruneian artists. Then they ARE Bruneian artists). So yeah, maybe that's why they are more good-looking than others. 

From what I found when I did my research on them, they were previously known as E.M.4 (Don't ask me what that stands for, because I really have no idea). They only changed their name to ANDROMEDA this year and that was when Anson joined the group. Yes, Anson was not in E.M.4 :) E.M.4's members were Calvin, Jason, Wallace (now known as Gordino) and...Zayn Zabri (If my research is correct). As E.M.4, they have performed in many places and even got invited as the guest for the opening of Toly Moly shop. Media Permata (Newspaper in Brunei) have also mentioned them a couple of times :) And their famous song as E.M.4 is Bersama Selamanya, that they performed during Rhapsody concert.

How come they changed their name to ANDROMEDA?

Okay. Their first song as ANDROMEDA is TERTIPU featured Nash (another talent in Brunei) and that song was actually belonged to Nash. Hmm. Confusing? Well, actually Nash invited them to collaborate with him after seeing their talents :) Like, "Hei, I have this one song titled TERTIPU. I want to feature you guys" (Something like that lah :P). Then Anson joined the group, so I guess that was how ANDROMEDA was formed? Honestly I'm still not sure about this. Well, I warned you already, right? My information can be wrong. Haha.

CALVIN CHONG

Again, got the pic from their official page

During the show at RTB on 4th November, Calvin was introduced as the leader. Then, I guess, he is the leader. Now, let's talk about the leader first. In my opinion, yes, he is the most good looking (I agree with Suki-chan). AND, he is the most approachable as he is very friendly. I added him on FaceBook and he accepted my request right away :) He's not arrogant at all. After the show, we took a lot of pictures with ANDROMEDA and when I uploaded all the pictures on FaceBook, I tagged the members. Calvin Chong was the only one who actually liked and commented on those pictures. He even shared my picture with him on his wall and attached a message on it, "How sweet! Thank you for the support and for turning up, *insert my name*". See, he's so friendly :D

When they performed their new song called "Here In My Life" (An English song. You guys really should listen to this song! It's beautiful. Actually it is not a new song. E.M.4 sang this song so many times in the past), Calvin played the keyboard and he sang the first line. Okay, I have to agree that he has a very excellent voice! I was like, "Oh my...so beautiful" and I found out just today that HE wrote the song. He also released his own solo single called UNSPOKEN in 2008 if I'm not mistaken. I'm in love with his voice. He also plays keyboard well. I'm not sure about his age but he was born on 31st July. (I'm guessing, his age is maybe around 23-24 years old)

Got this from their official FaceBook Page

I was doing my research on them when I found his YouTube channel. Wow. He already uploaded about 46 videos onto his YouTube channel. So, yeah, I watched them all. He uploaded quite a few videos of him covering other's songs. Well. My most favourite one would be "On The Way Down" :D And he also uploaded his own original song called 'Miss Izan'. BEAUTIFUL. That's all I can say. His voice is BEAUTIFUL. Oh, he plays guitar as well. Can you see how talented this man is, guys? He sings well, he dances well (He was a part time dance instructor. He uploaded one video of him teaching little kids), he plays keyboard, he plays guitar, he can write awesome songs. Calvin Chong is a very talented man. 

JASON KOH

From their official FaceBook page

Now, let's move on to the next member. Oh, Jason Koh! He is my favourite member! He's my ichiban, the term we use in JPOP fandom to address our favourite member in a group. I know I know. You guys must be thinking, 'I thought your ichiban was Calvin!' Hahaha. I like Calvin. He's awesome. But then, my ichiban IS Jason.

About Jason. For me, he is kinda mysterious type of person. I can see that he is the most quiet member of ANDROMEDA. I added him on FaceBook as well. But he rarely update anything and he hardly reply any comments from his fans. He only liked those comments or status he was tagged in. During the show on 4th November, I fell in love with his voice when he sang his part in the song 'Here In My Life'. Believe me, he has a very great voice! Among all the four members, he is the shortest one (But still, his height is ABOVE average) One of the reason why I like him. Because it will be easy for me to catch up! (Those who knows how much I love Nakajima Yuto of Hey!Say!JUMP should know my bad experience with height. Geez. Stop growing, Yuto! I won't be able to catch up!) Jason is the son of the owner of a famous Thai Seafood restaurant called KTM located in Jerudong which is VERY NEAR to where I live! Someday I will go eat there because they said Jason always entertain the customers with his remarkable piano skill. Yes, he plays piano! Another reason for me to love him!

Also taken from their official FaceBook page

In Calvin's YouTube channel, he uploaded this one video in which he did a cover song with Jason. When I watched that video, I fell in love more with his voice! So the point is, I love Jason for his beautiful voice! And he's cute too, I admit. If Calvin is the most handsome, Jason is the CUTEST. When we took picture with them, I noticed that Jason has a nice smile, very warming. He can be funny too! I remember a video I watched on E.M.4 page. I'd love to actually say hi to him on FaceBook but...I afraid he would ignore me. Hahaha. It's really irritating when we got ignored by the idols we like, but then, as a fan I know my limit. I know where I stand. So, I don't want to dig deeper into their private life. By the way, Jason was born on 13th December (His age? 25 years old, maybe?)

GORDINO K

Well...you know

Move on to the next member. Gordino K! Let's see what can I talk about him... Well, he is a member of ANDROMEDA of course. Haha. As a member of E.M.4, he appeared in the news more than twice. He was the second to sing when they were performing the song 'Here In My Life'. He is good looking, yes! With a well built body that can make girls go KYAAA! Hahaha. Gordino is good when it comes to the 'shout-shout' part in their song. Err...I'm not sure if you get what I'm trying to say...

Gordino is as friendly as Calvin. Unlike Jason, Gordino always reply the comments from his fans on FaceBook and he never forget to add a smiley in his reply. Yes. Yes. I added him on FaceBook as well. Hmm. I added all the members :D I watched this one video on E.M.4 official FaceBook page (Now dead). The three of them (Calvin, Jason and Gordino) were video-ing themselves singing a Chinese song. Gordino, also, has a nice voice. From the video, I think he is like a big brother in ANDROMEDA (also when in E.M.4, I'm sure).

I don't need to keep repeating the fact that I also got this from their page, right?

Woah! Look at that tiny little dimple on his cheek! Cute! I just realized that he got the same smile like a friend of mine. I wonder if they are related? Oh, obviously no. I...honestly don't have much to talk about Gordino. I mean, he's not that active as Calvin so it's really hard to find information about him. Heheh. Oh, he was born on 13th February. His age? I'm not sure. But maybe he's 25+? Older than the others, I guess? Well, he's really big brother-like! I can imagine him babysitting the others. Hmm. That is just guess so we don't know! :D

ANSON TANG

Got this from their official page on FaceBook. Ah, I said it.

Gosh. I have a hard time in choosing which pictures of Anson Tang to post here. All of his pictures are...WOW. Okay. Here is the only member of ANDROMEDA who was not a part of E.M.4. Let me introduce you to Anson Tang! He was the main center in the TERTIPU music video because the music video was about him got cheated by his girlfriend (Anyway, TERTIPU is GOT CHEATED in English :P)

What I love the most about Anson is his cute eyes! And just like Gordino, he has a body that can easily make girls drool. Except me! YES! (I prefer someone skinny and lanky like Nakajima Yuto :P). From what I see in the TERTIPU music video, I think Anson also have talent in acting! I mean, his expression, when he saw his girlfriend with another man (I'm talking about the music video! Don't get the wrong idea!), is just...it's very real! It was a clever decision that they chose Anson to play the main role in the music video *thumb up*

I'm so not gonna say it again!

Oh, look at that eyes! I like Anson's hair style the most. It really suits him well, don't you think so? Actually, I keep wondering about this one thing. Why wasn't Anson a part of E.M.4? And why he joined the group only this year? Where did he actually come from? I mean, is he a friend of the other members? Or they just met this year? But they all look so close with Anson so I guess they have know each other for quite a long time. Hmm. I don't know. We don't know. Hahah. How I wish it was easy to gather information about Brunei's local artists... *sigh*. Okay, Anson was born on 22nd May and his age... I have no idea. Maybe older than Jason but not older than Gordino? Hahah. 

So, that is all about the members :D So far I've introduced ANDROMEDA to a lot of friends. I showed them their videos and recommended them their songs to listen. And yes, they all love them. And they totally agreed that these guys are talented. I even downloaded some videos from Calvin's YouTube channel so that I can let my friends watch.

The conclusion is...

Suki-chan likes Calvin Chong (Reasons: Because he's cute! And he plays keyboard! F.Y.I Suki-chan also play Keyboard!)

Naru-Baka likes, also Calvin Chong (Reasons: Because he's cute! And talented! Plus friendly! Okay, she didn't say that. I don't know, honestly :P)

Tyqa likes Anson Tang (Reasons: He's hot! Especially in the music video! The bed scene! Opps!)
Min Ki likes...I don't know. He just commented that they are talented, they are hot, they sing nice and love the new song!
Miko likes Gordino K (Reasons: He sings nice and well built body!)
My ma likes Calvin Chong (Reasons: He can sing well. Nice voice)
Saku-chan likes Gordino K (Reasons: I didn't ask ==')

And me. I like Jason Koh! Reasons? I fell in love with his voice. That's it. His voice. And his smile. And his eyes. And..okay, stop. I like him. That's it.

So, after the show on 4th November, we were allowed to take pictures with the artists. Of course we didn't let go of the chance! Hahaha.

Thanks to Suki-chan who bravely asking Calvin to take picture with her, I also got to take picture with Calvin <3

With Andromeda <3

Aside from ANDROMEDA, we also took pictures with the other artists as well.

With Neff Aslee <3

And also with Seniman Jalanan but something is wrong that I cannot post our picture with them. Too bad :( Ah, I think because I typed too much already? Hahaha. Okay okay. That's all for now. I will update again soon and try to post up the picture with Seniman Jalanan. PLUS! I have something else to share *smirks* Hmm, something related to ANDROMEDA (or E.M.4, I would say :P) Well, let's talk about it next time :P
