FACTS.

2010-03-24T17:31:00.005+08:00

I've been sort of suppressing this for a long time. I swear that I can't get over the Lot One incident and the fact that I failed to get SHINee's signatures at the Oh Joonsung Concert. I was chatting with other Shawols on SeoulFM and the lot one incident was brought up. Some people were flaunting the signatures that they got and I just felt so livid. I'm rather tired of repeating my Lot One, Suju Super Show 2 and Oh Joonsung story over and over again so here it is.

SS2 I JUST FAILED TO GO AND STAND AT THE MOSH PIT BECAUSE OF PERSONAL REASONS. SO SCREW THAT.

Oh Joonsung concert - well I can't complain. I mean my friend went to see the concert partially for me. So we watched the concert on Tuesday instead of Monday. No signatures. Another disappointment.

Lot One - I got cut 7 people before me. The 1000th person was 7 people before me. I swear that my glare could have melted the flesh off of the guards and officials' face. NOT MINE, BUT THEIRS. How could they have come up with the worst management/organisation ever? I was THIS CLOSE to punching the guards face and I wish that I did so I could have broken their snobby noses and wipe that smirk off of their faces. THEY SHOULD KNOW THAT THEY ARE DEALING WITH FAN GIRLS/BOYS AND NO ONE IS GOING TO LET THEM OFF THAT EASY. That explains why people did pry open the doors of Lot One, nearly knocking down the barriers when they refused to let Shawols enter the roof garden, and so on. I know that that is unruly behaviour, but I didn't say that approve of them or did I participate in them. I'm just saying that they should NEVER underestimate fans. I can vividly remember the anger I'd felt then. Anger then fatigue and disappointment followed. Disappointment so strong that it could only crush me. I went home to shower, but it only brought on the tears because only then I was truly alone. I'd cried myself to sleep that day.

Here's the highlight. The next day, I saw people selling their autographed albums on fan sites and ebay. HOW DARE THEY DO THAT? And they daresay that they are fans? Their defense? "I'm a fan! I'm just trying to earn some money. I'd spent a lot of money on taxi fares and the album itself!" WHAT UTTER RUBBISH. IF YOU'RE A FAN YOU WOULDN'T EVEN DO THAT. You're a fake fan. A FAKE. People who claimed to be fan boys just went there to MAKE MONEY. (I'm not saying all of them, just some.) People who are stupid enough to buy the albums from them, well, I have to say that you're being stupid.

What's the point of getting the signatures when you didn't get it on your own? Seeing SHINee face front and getting their signatures on your own accord is what's most important! You didn't even get to see them sign it for you personally!

Audrey: " People get merchandises because they want to keep it for memory's sake, but an autographed album is only worth getting if you got it by your own efforts. I would rather not get it if I don't get to see them"

SHINee's 2nd visit to Singapore!

2010-03-21T15:45:00.001+08:00

Oh right, I'm suppose to post about SHINee's 2nd visit to Singapore. uhm, stay tuned for the post! HAHAHA!

I MISSED OUT ON THE BEST CONCERT EVER.

2010-03-21T15:31:00.002+08:00

I should have just gone there and save myself from all this regret. IT'S SUPER JUNIOR YOU IDIOT. HOW COULD YOU JUST SKIP OUT ON THEIR CONCERT? I'm just so mad at myself for not going? At first, I'd decided not to go because so many things were happening. But then I realised that I wanted to go so badly and it was planned since humans roamed the earth. So why not? Then after I decided that I wanted to go, there were complications. I needed my debit card, which was confiscated by whoever, to collect the tickets. I was mentally strained at 3am, so I decided not to go. MOSH PIT TICKETS LEH. WTF. I COULD JUST KILL MYSELF NOW. Then my friend told me she manage to get the tickets without my card. Sigh.

Yesterday I woke up, full of regret. I thought to myself, who cares if there's a risk in me going there and not getting the tickets? It was better than staying home. I cried when I realised that I had no way of changing things, since it was already so late.

1. Stay home, awkward atmosphere, feel pressurized.
2. go there, enjoy a hell of a weekend, get home and receive hell.

Which option sounds more appealing? To me, option 2.

I'm actually angrier than I'm sounding on this post. It's just that currently, it's more of the "laugh, what can you do about it? it's over. give in the fate" than the "GARH WTF IM GOING TO KILL SOMEONE" thing. I'm really upset about it. I just... dammit forget it.

Courting death

2010-03-07T01:35:00.003+08:00

I feel SCAMMED by this sales lady at The Face Shop. I told her that I was allergic to billow extract, something that I had unfortunately found out the hard way. I mentioned that I bought the Tea Tree Emulsion from SKINFOOD and had temporary eczema on my neck. UGH, yet she still recommended me a product that had billow extract in it. I thought she picked something that was billow extract-free so I bought it. It was 19 bucks. I went home and looked through the items that I had bought on Saturday and I read the ingredients that were in the product that I am currently referring to. "BILLOW EXTRACT" POPPED OUT FROM THE LIST OF INGREDIENTS. My doctor only guessed that I was allergic to it. It was either that or Tea tree Oil or something else, but people are rarely allergic to tea tree oil, so he presumed that it was the billow extract that I was allergic to. I guess that I'm courting ~~death~~ eczema by applying the product on my face and neck area, but who knows, it may not have an allergic reaction. I'm waiting 24 hours later to see if the eczema acts up. If it does, yay, I'm allergic to billow extract.

BAD HAIR WEEK

2010-03-05T22:58:00.004+08:00

I can't believe I paid 25 bucks for this ugly haircut. I'm this close *pinches index finger and thumb together* to smacking my hairstylist! DOES HE THINK I'M A BUTCH OR WHAT? I don't even dare to step out of the house. Next time, I must show him a picture of the haircut that I want. I'm going back to him for my haircuts because he is good, but I will keep in mind never to let him freestyle. Now, I'm stuck with this. It had better be normal before the 13th of March. I'm just so infuriated right now to the point of tears. *Falls into pit of depression* A rare selca to remind me of the slightly better days... D:

My first dream of Taemin

2010-03-04T18:03:00.004+08:00

My secondary four classmates and I went to South Korea for a school trip. The setting was... Music Bank? Exciting~! Oh! I SEE SHINEE! They just finished performing and was watching the next performance in front of the stage. That means that fans can get to them. I'm surprised, why are there so little fans surrounding them? I ran towards the stage and stood next them. Somehow, Taemin's and my hand touched! Then he smiled at me! OMG. OMG. OMG. OMG. OMG.

Then, SHINee had to go backstage and get ready for something else. I smiled after they left and ran back in the direction that I'd come from. I saw three tall caucasian men walking towards the stage and I just stared at them in utter shock. They were at least 2 heads taller than me. OKAY, WHAT THE HECK. I rushed through the double doors and I came into an auditorium. (WEIRD) I saw Shimin sitting along the third row and I wanted to tell her what I'd just seen.

"SHIMIN! OMG I JUST SAW..."

Then the three men came walking in. I squinted my eyes at them.

"NVM I'LL TELL YOU LATER"

I continued running towards the back of the auditorium. Then, I saw Sella. (uh, she wasn't from my secondary school so I've no idea why she's there) And I told her everything about what had happened before. (the Taemin thing) Then the dream sort of ended there. LOL!

This is the first korean-related dream that I've had. I've not dreamt of anything throughout the past few months so I'm glad that I've finally dreamt of something after so long. I'm even happier that it's Taemin! :D Is this a sign?

*I JUST FOUND OUT THE MOST AMAZING THING. OMGOMGOMG. AUDREY! IM SO EXCITED! IT'S DEFINITELY A SIGN. MY DREAM IS BECOMING REAL. HAHAHA OMG.*

FASHIONFIND: Casio Baby-G

2010-03-01T11:41:00.008+08:00

My blog is NOT turning into a k-pop idol fashion site. I'm merely posting things that I like and I would most probably buy and stuff. Or maybe to post them up because I love them but can't ever have them. Besides, I get a lot of my information from other fashion sites -.- I have many 'fashionfinds' because I'm so free right now and I spend my time searching/researching things like this alike. I provide buy links for people who view the blog and they happen to want the items too. Convenient much?

But if you take anything from my blog, seriously, you have to credit me. Regardless if it's pictures or information, credit me. It's basic courtesy and my right.

Anyway, I was browsing through an SNSD style site and I saw something that I really liked. It's a Casio Baby-G watch that Sooyoung wore. I didn't manage to get the Adidas watch that I'd wanted before. I think it's no longer available!

This is Adidas' current collection. They are called Candy Full.

and another similar collection...

But what I had wanted was this:

I didn't like the solid colours on the oval-shaped body of the watch. The one that I'd wanted is a relatively old model, but I didn't get the chance to buy it last time. I felt that the Baby-G watch was nice and I thought that it would be a decent replacement for the Adidas watch that I've never got.

Personally, I like the black watch with the pink face.

I won't give buy links since these watches are available almost everywhere!

FASHIONFIND: Taemin's tribal tee

2010-03-01T06:56:00.005+08:00

While searching for the Topgirl vest that IU/Hyori/Yoona/Jessica wore, I chanced upon Taemin tribal shirt! It's from Uniqlo! But I couldn't find any active buy links D; Apparently, Uniqlo changes there graphic tees ever so often! Sigh, does any kind soul still sell this amazing shirt? :D *Crosses fingers & toes*

FASHIONFIND: IU's Vest

2010-03-01T06:28:00.000+08:00

*UPDATE*
I've been unable to find buy links for the vest. I'm trying really hard, but you know that finding the actual buy links is bleak when google starts spawning vietnamese links. Anyway, I've found similar military vests which could probably replace TOPGIRL's one. However the design is a little different as it flares out a little at the end unlike TOPGIRL's vest. By the way, the one that Hyori wore is light blue in colour but the one that I originally searched for was silver/grey.

*click to enlarge*

For vest 1, wetseal @22.50USD
For vest 2, Forever21 @24.80USD

---

The vest is from the brand TOPGIRL. Lee Hyori wore it for TOPGIRL's photoshoot. IU, SNSD's Jessica and Yoona followed suit in photoshoots and stage performances. The vest was part of TOPGIRL's 2009 Spring Collection.

---

Guess what I'd found at Haji Lane? It's the vest that I'd posted about before! Except that it is black in colour. It's imported from Korea so I'm guessing that it's the same vest. The price is.... 119SGD. The shop name is called Wicked and it's right at the front of the lane. Gorgeous! But so expensive D: If you want it, you should buy it soon! I'm guessing that that is the only piece.

---

Sorry, seeing that my posts of IU's vest were very messy, I've decided to make it into one post.

IU wore it during Yu Heeyeol's Sketchbook. Sorry for the sucky screen caps!

It's available at here for 45bucks. I'm quite sure that it's in SGD, but who knows? It might just be in USD. Vests' cuttings are usually pretty small so I wasn't sure whether or not to order that particular vest online. Plus, the site-dude doesn't reply anyone -.-

IM SO BORED. MUST POLY ADMISSION BE SO DIFFICULT?!

2010-02-28T23:55:00.003+08:00

I'm currently handling all my polytechnic admission things. WHY IS ADMITTING MYSELF TO POLY SO COMPLEX? ALL THESE FINANCIAL-CRAP-FORMS ARE A HINDRANCE. GARHHHH.

Anyway, today... I mean yesterday was my dad's birthday. We went out and had a sumptuous dinner at Crystal Jade Palace. IMPRESSIVE TTM. Hahaha! It was so expensive D; While walking around orchard, I realised that I should probably start wearing high heels. Since I personally dislike wearing or seeing heels that are less than 2 inch, I would probably look for to-die-for heels that are 2 to 3 inches high. I wonder if I have clothes to match them with...

I saw Alex at Ion's Starbucks. He looked like he didn't recognise me. THANKS UH.

Okay, I'm so bored and stressed out about filling out all the forms for poly. I shall just deal with them tomorrow since I need my parents to fill up the rest of the forms. For now, I shall just happily update my list of things that I've bought and have yet to receive and talk about k-pop with my friends.

LOL, shit it's focusing on the wrong part. Oh well. Anyway, I'm still deciding on which colour to get for the American Apparel nylon gym bags. I fell in love with the gold(yellow) coloured one but I thought it would be prudent for me to get the opinions of others about this. I guess I'll be waiting till tomorrow before making my purchase.

My skin is getting better now! The doctor said that it was eczema. Thank God that it won't leave a huge scar! I just have to eat a tablet in the morning, another tablet at night and apply some cream on my neck and it'll be gone :D PHEW. Alright, I've got to have my dinner now. BYE!

Currently craving!

FASHIONFIND: American Apparel Gym Bag

2010-02-25T00:14:00.007+08:00

SHINee Forums International gave 5 American Apparel gym bags to SHINee for Project SHINee Wonderland. The colours are bold and the design is simple. I want one for myself :D It's actually super Key-like. :D It can be identified by it's light grey strap and pocket-less sides! It's made of nylon and it's waterproof. Great for bold-carriers.

O: It's affordable! Wooohooo~!

BLACK/PURPLE/RED@12USD: eBay
ALLCOLOURS@17USD: American Apparel

Those were the cheapest prices that I could find. Personally, I like the regatta, red, purple, blue and gold ones. Lame, but they are the ones that are in the picture. Shawols have the same taste? (:

ME&YOULET'SGO!

2010-02-24T18:02:00.009+08:00

I'm trying to ditch the disappointment I'm feeling now. Remembering that day makes me so upset. Anyway, Chandni and I headed to Haji Lane yesterday. I loved my outfit yesterday, but I forgot to selca D:

We enjoyed ice cream at Pluck. Pluck is always a must-go when I head to Haji Lane. I had mango sorbet and vanilla bean. The mango sorbet was gobbled down. ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

I didn't buy much at Haji Lane. I just got my Ray Ban wayfarer in black at 15SGD! The shop sold it at a much cheaper price than before! HAPPY :D

We filed and painted our nails for 10SGD! It wasn't very well done and my nails were too short to be filed. I got SCAMMED. ): 5SGD for painting the nails and 5 SGD for filing and shaping. She failed to inform us that there were extra costs for shaping! Usually, express manicure does include filing and shaping, so I was wondering why in the world there were extra charges for it! The employees and the employer's kid were really friendly, but it's not worth it. The place was stuffy too ): Anyhooo, I picked a light pink colour for my nails. It looks like the icing on fake display cakes. o_O

We were hungry, so we walked to the nearest Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf and had our dinner there. The chicken bolognaise was surprisingly delicious and healthy! It's actually better than Pastamania's! The irony.

We were bored! Hahaha, so we hopped onto a bus to head to Katong for some pool. While waiting at the bus stop, we spotted some cute kittens!

Sorry for scaring you, guys! D:

Pool was an epic failure and we left after 3 incomplete games. We'd decided on an impromptu sleepover at Chandni's house :D I spent the night and early morning introducing k-pop to her.
ㅋㅋㅋ

Fast forward..

I woke up after sleeping for 3 hours only to find myself itching at the neck. Fuck. I was shocked and utterly depressed! It's disgusting. I decided to leave early instead of accompanying Chandni to Meridian Junior College. I want to cry D; huhu~

So now, I'm sort of in a deep pit of depression. I need to visit my dermatologist soon! ):

Bittersweet

2010-02-24T17:45:00.004+08:00

I'm currently watching Hello Baby episode 6. It is unsubbed, but I like to watch it anyway. There are footage of SHINee's trip to Singapore in episode 6 and just thinking about it breaks my heart. I remember feeling so bitter and upset after the fan signing, probably even more after the Oh JoonSung concert. Now I feel like crying. D:

I mean, don't be mistaken. I love the fact that SHINee came and will be coming again to Singapore. But the disappointment really killed me that day.

FASHIONFIND: Ray Ban Wayfarers

2010-02-22T23:02:00.006+08:00

These Ray Ban wayfarers have been getting really popular lately, especially since Ray Ban has launched its new collection. They are available in various colours and some even has zebra stripes and leopard prints, but I don't think those are available everywhere that sells the wayfarers. You can get it at Far East Plaza or Haji Lane for about 25 SGD or more. I recommend these 2 places since I frequent them and they are usually sold at cheaper prices than at spectacle stores. I'm going to get myself a light blue one! Wooohoo~!

20FEB2010 FOOD&CLOTHES!

2010-02-22T21:17:00.020+08:00

As I've mentioned before, I'm the only one in my clique who went to a polytechnic. Even if I'm so free, I have no one to go out shopping with D: When the 22nd of febuary finally reached, I was so ecstatic! Yuyi and I went to Far East Plaza to shop! I ended up buying more accessories even though I sweared to myself not to buy any more of them. I bought a really hot skirt for a good price! 25 SGD, if I remembered correctly. It's black and sexy :D No picture, sorry, especially since I'm the last person to model any clothes and I won't take the picture with the skirt lying limp on the floor. Obviously, we visited the Graffiti Cafe at the basement! I remembered to bring markers to decorate the place with more SHINee!

We left our mark ;D

A pair of skull earstuds that I'd bought for SGD 12!

We headed to Korean Town @Novena Square 2 for more shopping and food! Actually, there was nothing much to shop there, especially since Korean Town is only a level in the shopping mall. The clothes there weren't very nice either. Do Koreans seriosuly were clothes like that? O_o Anyway, I bought a denim vest for 35 SGD. Good buy! Especially since it replaced the vest that I'd originally wanted. (IU's vest that she'd worn during Yu Huiyeol's Sketchbook)

Yuyi and I had dinner at the korean restaurant located at Korean Town. The proportions are rather big. We couldn't finish everything! They have a set meal for 2 at the price of 33 SGD and if you want more food, there is a set meal for 2 at 38 SGD nett. I didn't take many pictures because we were both too hungry so we dug in immediately! Oh, in addition, they give you 6 side dishes along with the set meal at 33 SGD!

The 재중 double ring has just arrived!

Nice? It's made of fine steel (: A classy and simple design for 25 SGD. I got a discount from a friendly buyer!

FYI: I buy things that my idols wear because firstly, it's nice and secondly, they have what I have. It's as simple as that. I'm not to the stalker level and my closet does not equal to their closet. That is just weird. I buy what I see they wear if I like it and if I can pull it off.

CNY 2010 with my cousins

2010-02-22T20:02:00.006+08:00

Rowena, Me & Yahui

7th day of the lunar new year was spent with my relatives. I had a quarrel with my mom before my relatives came over, but I just ignored her the entire day to prevent any further disputes. It was difficult to book the function room and BBQ pit before, but luckily I managed to be the first to book them in January. I didn't get to eat much yesterday, though. I helped out with the BBQing and everything only to escape the awkward silence within the function room. Everyone had to eat while facing an entire wall of mirrors. A-W-K-W-A-R-D...

Anyway, I found out that my cousin, Rowena, is a k-pop fan like me! She LOVES Super Junior! We both like Eunhyuk, Kyuhyun and Ryeowook. HAHAHA! Same tastes huh. I promised her to buy some merchandises from their concert if possible. I'll try! Don't be upset about not going okay!

The young people ended the day with a really short session of mahjong. ㅋㅋㅋ Unfortunately, I didn't win any rounds. Oh well, luckily there's no money involved, right? I convinced my cousins that I was broke, which is true, since I've spent so much already!

I'm currently watching the final episode of Life Transformers. It's by far the most depressing episode that I've watched. The granny is 80 years old and she has to take care of her mentally ill daughter and diabetic son who is a smokerholic. She had attempted suicide before because she couldn't take everything. But now, she is positive for someone who is living under such bad conditions. It breaks my heart that the granny has to do all the housework and that she has to at rice that has been kept for over a year. She can't afford fish and she eats chicken that is over a month old. She had experienced more sorrow than joy in her life. I thank God that there are such selfless people to help the old granny.

She said this. "I can't afford fish. I don't want to pass on with regrets, so if I don't think about it, I won't have regrets."

It's something along this line. She's amazing, isn't she?

K-pop Merchandises

2010-02-20T02:48:00.003+08:00

Hello! I've decided to put up various trusted sites that sells K-pop Merchandises. I bought items from most of the sites before therefore I trust them enough to recommend it to others who are interested. They can be found below the tag board and music box. Enjoy the sites, Shawols and k-pop maniacs! :D

My Current Lifestyle (+FASHIONFIND)

2010-02-20T01:39:00.014+08:00

I've not been blogging for a while despite being totally available for the past few months. Omo, I sound so pathetic. Oh well, what to do? Most of my friends went to a junior college and I'm the only one from the group that is heading to a polytechnic. With so much free time on my hands, all I do is...

Wake up
Eat
Use the computer
Online shop
Ebay
Eat
Watch KBS World
Online shop
Eat
Sleep

My sleep cycle is completely ruined, therefore, I can't get up early enough to exercise as I like to. So now, I'm fat, unfit and cash-strapped.

Shall I share what my latest buys are? (:

Yesterday, I bought RockersNYC God's Money at, can you believe it, 91 SGD. SHINee's Key wore it in white, which I had preferred, but it was sold out. I'm guessing that the products that were featured on this amazing site, K-World Style, are mostly sold out because they are promoting the clothes and shoes that famous idols wear. Sigh.. I bought the black tee instead.

SHINee's Key wearing the RockersNYC God's Money in white.

And here is the tee in black.

I LOVE IT! Let's see... what else did I buy?

OH YEAH. Currently, SM Entertainment released some products on SHINee, TVXQ!, SUJU & SNSD. I know everyone wants to boycott SM E's products, but it's terribly tempting to buy them since they have my lovely hubby's face on it. HAHAHA! Actually, it is pre-ordered, so I'm not sure when I will get them. I will post pictures of them once I get them. Maybe I'll post the things that I have with me that are k-pop related. Along with pre-ordering those Everysing products of Taemin, I bought the You're Beautiful OST Part 1. The songs are awesome! By the way, You're Beautiful is one of the best idol dramas that I've ever watched! PLUS, it has Hongki :D

I was searching for Yiruma's CD all over Singapore but apparently no music store in Singapore brings in Yiruma's CDs. I was forced to order it on Ebay. Yiruma is this fantastic pianist from Korea. I only knew about him when Taemin played his piece called "River Flows in You" and when Jonghyun played his piece called "Kiss The Rain". It's exactly the kind of non-vocal music that I like -light, soothing and simple. Yiruma's 'First Love' album cost me... 25 SGD. Oooo, and I bought DBSK's Mirotic Version B CD for 15 SGD

I bought two Jaejoong's tees. It has yet to arrive in Singapore, but I can't wait! They were the same shirts that were worn at DBSK's concerts if I'm not mistaken.

1st shirt!

The SM Town Summer Tee that DBSK designed themselves.

The shirt that Jaejoong wore and designed himself if the one in the middle. It's called "No Stress". How adorable! :D It costs... 39 SGD

2nd shirt!
DBSK: 2nd Asia Tour Concert 'O' Tee. There's no picture of Jaejoong shirt. I'll post it when I get it. The shirt costs 38 SGD.

Oh, here's the 3rd shirt!
Super Junior Super Show 2 Character tee: Eunhyuk's Anchovy

That costs... 49.50 SGD

I'd also bought some Super Junior light sticks for the SUJU concert in erm, *ehem*. 2 SUJU Tube light sticks, 1 Eunhyuk light stick and another Yesung light stick for Angeline. That costs me 46 SGD. From the same buyer, I bought a Taemin, Eunhyuk, Jaejoong and Yesung name tag for 16 SGD.

I bought various accessories too, but I'll post pictures up once I get them. I spent 70 ++SGD for the Oh Joonsung Korean Drama Music Concert, which I'd watched with YuYi on the 3rd of February. Somehow I think I've spent more than I've listed out. I think I forgot about some.

Okay, yes I've spent a lot. Omo, maybe Taemin should come and help me control my spending. :D

Uneventful day

2010-02-07T16:17:00.005+08:00

I feel like I haven't blogged for the longest time. I figure that it is because I carry a diary along with me wherever I go now. Right, so what's the reason for the diary? Key. As in SHINee's Key. He made me feel ungirly! Hahaha! I mean, I used to write in my diary. But that was a very long time ago. It was very essay-ish. But from Key, I realised that my diary entries do not have to be neat or essay-like. It's a DIARY. That's how it is. So yeah.. since then, I've started a diary. It allows me to write things that I can't post on a blog... lest someone I don't wish to read it reads it.

Anyway, the blog may be a little un-updated from now on. But it will still be here.

Complaint Letter to Warner Music Singapore

2010-02-01T02:32:00.005+08:00

My complaint letter to Warner Music Singapore with regards to SHINee's fan signing at Lot 1 on the 31st of January.

SHINee's fan signing event was disastrous. Bad venue, bad security system and no one was treated fairly. It was extremely badly planned out.

1. No one would stick to the "no overnight queueing" rule because they are fans, Shawols. That's one issue that I believe was overlooked.

2. The venue was small and inconvenient.

2. I assume that there is also a shortage of manpower. Everything was chaotic and it was really dangerous. No one bothered to barricade anywhere. Only hours later did they barricade the front of the queue, but good did it do? There were a lot of pushing and shoving and cutting of queues, and quarrels started to arise when it was barely past 4.30am. SHINee has a large fan base in Singapore. This was obvious when there was a huge turnout at the Changi Airport Terminal 2, whereby SHINee's fans came to welcome them to Singapore. How could so little people handle so many fans at Lot 1? Is that another mistake? The airport that day had close to 2000 fans, maybe even more. So how could the amount of fans at the fan signing be lesser or equal to that?

3. Instructions given to everyone was not clear either. The Security guards at the roof garden even lied to us that they have asked the organiser to consider letting fans without tickets to view the signing at the back of the roof garden. Fans were even scolded degrading names by some people in charge at the roof garden. The local security guards were rude. I understand that they are trying to do their job but the tactics such as shouting rudely and using the siren on the loudhailer only further annoyed the fans. They told the fans to line up in rows of five but we told them that there was no space to move at all. They did not care and continued to shout "If I don't see rows of five, the queue is not going to move" Meanwhile, I was sweating and suffocating, being shoved in every direction possible. Fans were running up and down the mall too because instructions given were incorrect. We were told by the organiser that fans without tickets could enter the roof garden, with the exception that we would not get the albums signed and all. However, the security group blocked every entrance possible and there was another jam at the area between the automatic doors and the escalator. Once again, I was stuck. I could not move front or back. Yet, they kept telling us to move back. It was dangerous too, as the barrier nearly fell over when fans protested to being kept away from seeing SHINee.

4. Who in the world was in charge then? With regards to my first point, many people queued up way before the album sales began. I arrived with a friend at 2.30 and not to our surprise, there was already a long queue. At 4am or so, we heard from other fans that someone was taking down queue numbers, hand phone numbers, NRIC numbers and names. Everyone thought that the unofficial queue had became an official queue. No one was sure who they were, since they were not wearing uniforms or name tags to show their identities. However, we all thought that they were in charge, since it was getting crowded and messy and it was about time someone in charge had to set things right. My friends and I made it in before the 1000th fan was identified. However, when the album sales were about to begin and people were heading up, it became a first come, first serve basis. People who came at 6 or 7 am shoved in to the queue and went up even before I did. The 1000th fan was identified and the queue was cut 7 people before me. The guards asked us, "who wrote those numbers down?" We replied that it was the organisers. He then replied, "Nonsense, they must be from some fan club. There's no such thing." Did that mean that the official organisers were a tad bit late, since other people had to step in to fill their shoes?

I am livid at the fact that the organisation and management of this major fan signing was such an epic failure. I had waited for 14 hours just to see the faces of my idols and sacrificed more than a day's worth of sleep only to be rejected at the entrance because of such a major error! Even if I failed to obtain the ticket, I would not have minded watching the fan signing from afar and take some photos of them. We could not leave at the entrance where we were queueing up at because the guards refused to let us through. The main entrance to reach the roof garden was at the other end of the queue. Therefore, from first, we became last. SHINee arrived late and left early. I am disappointed that I could not even see their faces or hear their voices! The point of the fan signing is to let fans see and hear them live! All I got from the fan signing was shortage of breath, hunger pangs, rage and disappointment. I left Lot 1 upset and on the brink of tears. This fan signing should have be better managed as it is an event concerning avid fans.

I apologise for my tone but this is how I truly feel. I'm confident that I am not the only fan who is enraged that the fan signing was a disaster. I hope to hear a decent explanation to fans who took the effort to go down early but did not get to see SHINee at all.

Sincerely,
Wong Shi Ting

SHINee's arrival in Singapore

2010-01-29T23:14:00.010+08:00

OMG, THIS HAS GOT TO BE THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE. I'M STILL FEELING STUNNED FROM BEING SO CLOSE TO THEM. I'M LITERALLY ON THE BRINK OF TEARS.

I reached Changi Airport's Terminal 2 at 16 00. I sat down at Gloria Jeans Coffee and bought a very vanilla latte and a chocolate truffle cake. I read a book till 17 00++ and saw a throng of girls gathering at a distance. I though "OH? Maybe these girls know which belt they are arriving at." So I followed them.

*skip skip skip*

Wrong belt. When the belt number on the flight information was finally released online, everybody ran to the correct belt number and waited. Trust me, there were at least 2000 shawols there, boys included. I strolled/skipped there instead of running. I've only managed to grab a spot in the second row. That was at 18 00. At 19 00, the shawols squeezing behind me helped me to grab a spot in the front. That means that I'm as close as I can get. There were reporters, people from the Esplanade and all. OMG. At 19 30, I was so squashed up that I could reach my phone. At 20 00, I can't move at all. My entire body went numb. It was so tight that I felt like gagging. But I persisted, in the hope of getting some nice shots of SHINee. My mind was racing. "OMG, I GET TO SEE TAEMIN. AND I'M REALLY THIS CLOSE."

20 30: Shawols started chanting "SHINee! SHINee!" Screams and squeals were heard for the past hour and it continued in the same crazy manner. 2100, "Why are we waiting?" They were delayed whereas other passengers on the same flight had left quite some time ago. 21 30, still no sight of them. There were many false alarms. But finally, at 21 40, SHINee was spotted. They were walking towards the gate. AND OMG, THEY WERE SO CLOSE. I WAS JUST MUTE FROM SHOCK. I SAW TAEMIN, JONGHYUN & MINHO. I think I was too excited to spot Key and Onew, but that's alright! I felt like fainting. Everyone was screaming at the top of their lungs. SHINee and their manager and whoever else ran towards the tour bus and shawols followed suit.

Okay, enough talk. Just one last thing... I want to cry. Right now. Firstly, it's because I ACTUALLY SAW THEM. THEY WERE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE CREATED BY GOD. I'm so sorry but they looked so hot in real life! Way better than on camera! Secondly, I didn't get many shots of them D: And the shots that I managed to take were bad. D: Alright, so here are the photos.

Here are all the photos that actually has SHINee in them. I couldn't find Onew though. D: I don't know why. But he should be there anyway. (STUPID GIRL BLOCKING MY PHOTOS/VIEW. YOU DO KNOW THEY WON'T ACTUALLY GRAB YOUR HAND SO STOP WAVING IT IN FRONT OF MY EFFING CAMERA/FACE. GEDDID?) Photos are not in order. Enjoy.

SHINee's Happy8 Magazine Interview

2010-01-27T00:08:00.003+08:00

SHINee: Existing to Dazzle You

It is definitely not too much to see SHINee as another of SM Entertainment’s secret weapon after Dong Bang Shin Ki and Super Junior, these 5 big boys have been widely recommended for their unique vocals and refreshing looks. On the first day of New Year, Korea’s extremely popular group SHINee arrived at Hunan TV, creating the first wave of the Hallyu in 2010. From the New Year’s Mango Festival to the media interviews the next day, not only did they dazzle the Chinese audience in front of the TV, they also dazzled the media.

Why is SHINee so attractive? All our questions were answered after meeting them. We can only say that, SHINee deserves to be loved.

Onew: Dazzling You with Silliness

Onew’s Korean fans once revealed that sometimes, his brain seems to be missing a tendon, and he is always doing silly things, even if he is a high flying student in school, even if he is SHINee’s leader. His Chinese is not proficient, and when he in Taiwan, he even introduced himself as ‘Wo Niu’(snail) instead of ‘Wen Liu’(Onew). His psychomoto skills are bad, and he is always tripping, and each fall is always very hard.. Personally I felt that there is not much to investigate about him, but during this trip to Changsha, the reporter has managed to affirm the fans’ thoughts — He is definitely ’silly’!

When he first met with the reporter, he just kept grinning, and started greeting without caring if the people around him understood Korean or not. It was until he finished saying 4 or 5 sentences that he realised : “Oh, you don’t understand Korean?”

Looking at his expression and also his tone then, there was this urge to open out his brain to see what exactly is inside his brain. Just when we thought that he would not say any more silly stuff, his low laughter on the other hand had everyone at a loss of what to do. Most people upon seeing him grinning would ask: “Why are you smiling?” And he would then ask back: “What did you just say?” This is how the phrase ‘donkeys’ lips don’t match horses’ jaws’ originated. When it was meal time, the reporter thought that he would not have anything to be silly about. But he started distributing burgers to his buddies like a cafeteria uncle who distributes food: “This is yours, this is yours, oh and this is mine.” Throughout the whole distributing process, his eyes were dazed looking, and he was just staring at the burgers he was giving out. Looking at this scene, few were not baffled — Even though he is the oldest member of the group, but he is definitely not at the age to turn senile right? After all he is only just 21 years old,but that expression and tone is really not something that a 89-er should have.

We say that fortune favours the fools, and this charmingly naive leader does possess leadership qualities that is hard to speak about. Even though he always receives ‘dirty looks’ from his members as a result of saying something ridiculous but when it comes to key moments, he is really quite useful. When they were asked about H1N1, Onew said seriously : “This question will be answered by Jonghyun!” Jonghyun then straightened up in his seat and answered the question, and when he was done, he did not forget to look at the leader who instructed him, as if looking to be praised by the leader. Seems like no matter how silly a leader is, he is still the head, we definitely cannot not see Onew as the cadre!

Jonghyun: Dazzling You with Childishness

Upon first look at this SHINee group, everyone will definitely take note of this boy first. Standing in the midst of “herbivorous” SHINee, his looks that seem more carnivorous (deeper and more mature in comparison) make it hard for people to neglect his existence and his fierce gaze gives people the impression that he is not easy to get close to. When a variety show in Korea revealed a self-ca photo of him pouting, everyone suddenly realised that this Jonghyun seems quite childish too. After looking at Jonghyun’s domineering and aggressive dance on Mango Festival, and then looking at the incredibly childish kid who has transformed from his fighter mode, the reporter cannot help to lament in shock: “Seems like there is nothing impossible in this world.”

Jonghyun belongs to the kind who can have a stoic expression one moment, and then in the next moment, he can shed his ice cold exterior and start smiling, before having lots of fun with the people around him. The reporter saw him pouting and smiling at his buddies, and coy mannerism is like a kid trying to ask for sweets from his parent — Is he still the Jonghyun who stood in front of cameras with soulful eyes and singing aggressive songs? Maybe it was because the atmosphere was quite high, Jonghyun kept swaying and shaking his head when he answered the reporter’s question, looking every bit like a little dinosaur that has not yet grown up, no wonder he is dubbed at part of SM Entertainment’s “Dinosaur Siblings” along with Donghae and Amber! When asked about a movie that they are anticipating, the few of them answered in chorus: “Avatar!” When they found out that it was being shown in Changsha that day, Jonghyun suddenly tugged at the translator’s arm and asked: “Is that true? Are there Korean subtitles?” The temperature of the room rapidly dropped to below zero degree Celsius at that moment, before the entire room burst out in laughter the next second. Then this Jonghyun kid actually stuck his tongue out and with a very embarrassed look, said: “Oh no, everyone actually understands Korean.” This sentence once again had the room doubling over in laughter and at the point in time, the reporter really wanted to ask him: “Kid, are you even 5 years old this year?”

Minho: Dazzling You with Charisma

The NO.1 charisma as selected by all the members! Flaming Minho is definitely the winner.Even though he has a tanned complexion from playing soccer since young, but that still does not affect his perfection — Eyes that are sometimes deep-thinking, movements that are sometimes powerful, he definitely has a price-like presence. That’s the reason why many people will be stunned when seeing him for the first time. If he can be said as charismatic on the screen, then off screen, he is dazzlingly charismatic.

His legs are long, his feet are long, his eyelashes are long, when he walks there is a breeze accompanying him, everything he does is enough to carry a breeze; he is like Sudhana (Child of Wealth) that has came out from a painting. When he talks, he is always half nodding at you and half smiling at you. The reporter thinks with a sigh: No wonder he is the junior of Choi Siwon. When he was chosen as the NO.1 charisma, Jonghyun points really resignedly at Minho and said through gritted teeth: “He’s so handsome, what can we do about do?” All these are still understandable, but when he was drinking from a large bottle of Coke, he even gave the feeling that he was shooting a CF. Onew who was sitting at the side was unable to tolerate it anymore and snatched the bottle away from Minho who returned the gesture with a glance and a smile, causing many hearts to break into pieces. Alright, it’s not your fault that you are handsome, but it’s your fault if you are always dazzling and killing us with your charisma all the time!

We say that loneliness is a way to protect a handsome guy, and Minho’s quiet expression from start gave everyone the feeling that “this kid is probably very lonely”. But this cool boy was able to play around ’silently’ with his group mates (Please note, there isn’t a mistake in word choice, he really did play around with his member without saying a word) before running to a guy who was part of their entourage and patting on the shoulder, saying something softly to him. The reporter instinctively asked the translator what they were talking about, and the translator turned a little teary upon hearing their conversation. Minho was asking: “Are you missing home already? We are going back tomorrow already.” Seems like being handsome is not equal to being lonely, because this handsome boy will never let others feel lonely, and through this, he will also receive the warmth of company from others.

Key: Dazzling You with Wittiness

In this 5 member group, Key always has a special presence. When you see him, you cannot help but to think “This person exudes a really different air from the others”. Everything that is unique about him is exuded from within him, be it his gazes or his mannerism, there will always be something strange about it. The same hairstyle if put on someone else will probably make that person look like an ahjumma, but once it is put on him, he can carry it off in a totally different flavour. He has been chosen by the members as the member with the best fashion sense, and compared to his members who will let the Cody noonas dress them, Key will always have his own ideas. Be it wearing another necklace or adding another scarf, after they have been through Key’s hands, they will look different. It is no wonder that his members see him as their fashion consultant, and feel that it will be especially cool if he is their ‘girlfriend’.

Key is just like an almighty key, he possesses really shocking ability to imitate dances. During the interview, ‘Muzik’ was being played in the waiting room, and this fellow was just grooving about freely without a care for the crowd in the room, his movements so natural that it was as if he was dancing to his own dance. Jonghyun added from the side: “If you want him to dance all the girl group songs that he knows, I bet he won’t be able to finish dancing all by next morning.” The reporter thus give up trying to realise this speculation. When it comes to rap, although Minho is the resident rapper of the group, but Minho himself also strongly praises Key’s rapping ability. His strong and sharp articulation, rythmic measured tone, it is thus no wonder that he was able to participate as a guest performed in Dong Bang Shin Ki’s 3rd Asia Tour as the rapper of Junsu’s solo performance, “XIAHTIC”.

Usually witty people gives off the feeling that they are not the sort who can fit into communities since the clean and fresh pasture cannot exist with the dirty soil of the earth, but Key has this to say to everyone: Wittiness is not incompatible with harmony! When he shouts “I want to get married”, the world has come together.

Taemin: Dazzling you with Naughtiness

In all the groups from SM Entertainment, the maknaes all seem to have the most quiet existence, this natural thinking has led to people thinking that Taemin is probably like this too. In Korea, whether it is on variety shows or in front of the camera, Taemin certainly does portray that he is a quiet person; he hides behind his hyungs and listens to them answering questions, and most of the time only speaking “Hello, I am SHINee’s Taemin” when he has to introduce himself to the media. Because he is the group’s “dancing machine”, Taemin will always leap forward without hesitation whenever any sunbaes want to see the best of SHINee’s dancing abilities.

Coming to Changsha however, ever since stepping into the place of interview, Taemin did not stop moving for even a single second. Initially we thought that Onew and him were holding hands out of pure brotherly love, but then we found them glaring at each other with extremely red faces as if they were suppressing something. It was only when Taemin suddenly clapped his hand and said: “I won!” that everyone realised that these two were arm wrestling. When Minho was taking photos by himself in the front, Taemin, along with Onew, Jonghyun and Key started playing “Piggy Backing Game” at the back, causing everyone, except the photographer, to divert their attention to the unusually chaotic “Piggy Back Quartet”. At that moment we could feel that the 3 hyungs were just accepting Taemin’s commands to let him bounce and hop around, and he ended up falling 3 times, and would continue playing again after getting up each time. That certainly felt no different from a monkey in a tree.

Many people will say, this kid is still young, so when he’s naughty it’s pretty cute. However when it comes to a group discussion about who is the most Casanova out of them, Taemin actually got selected with majority votes. So we say, even though this baby is naughty but he has already grown up. No matter how naughty he is he is still a man!

1. About Their First Television Performance in China

Happy 8: This is the first time that you have come to Changsha, China, how do you feel?

Onew: For me, before we arrived at Changsha, we stopped over at Beijing. During then I felt that the airport was really clean, and after that I kept thinking it everything is not bad.

Jonghyun: Yes yes, and the fans are really very passionate, I think there are two cars that kept following us? But really thankful to the fans, it’s really tiring for them!
(In the midst of interviewing, the person sent to buy food came back. The boys started pointing at the bags and shouting in Chinese: “Fries! Fries!” )

Happy8: What is your level of Chinese like currently?

SHINee: Fries!
(The boys kept saying ‘fries’ one after another. The reporter goes teary-eyed, seems like this is not the time to ask this question.)

Happy8: After coming to Changsha, is there anything that has left a deep impression with you?

Onew: Fire crackers, they are very loud, and it gives off a lively feel. It seems like the people here likes to light fire crackers.
Taemin: Yes, the noise is really loud, my ears were ringing from it, keke.
(Unexpectedly, the boys actually asked something. We frantically explained to them the tradition of lighting fire crackers in Hunan and they all nodded thoughtfully. Not sure if they really did understand or they were just pretending to understand.)

Happy8: How does each of you feel about your first performance on television in China?

Taemin: The plane flew to Beijing before we came to Changsha, this is the first time. Other than the previous time we came for the SM Town concert, this is the second time that we have come to China, and it’s also the first time we have appeared on China’s television screen. The fans are all very passionate, so I just want to present everyone with an even better stage.

Minho: The moment I arrived in China, my mood also became really good because the fans welcomed us right from the moment we were here. They also anticipated and waited for us at our performance, so I feel really happy.

Key: The members have said what I wanted to say, but I still want to say that the fans are really very passionate, so much so that it was unexpected. We will work even harder in the future to repay all the fans’ anticipation.

2. About ‘Ring Ding Dong’ Hot Trend.

Happy8: Firstly, congratulations on receiving many awards last year, with ‘Ring Ding Dong’ even creating a hot wave. So have you thought that “we are actually this popular?”

Onew: No no, we have just started and we have always been working very hard. Actually the people whom we have to thanks are our fans who are always supporting us, they are definitely our motivation to do better.

Jonghyun: Yes, thank you so much to our fans, no matter where you are from.

Happy8: Are there a lot of people around you who are learning the ‘Ring Ding Dong’ dance? Who do you think is the best at imitating you?

Jonghyun: Hmmm, we haven’t thought of it before. Who’s the best?

Key: f(x)? Kekekeke.

Happy8: When your friends and relatives see you now, will they ask you to perform your song for them?

Key: Nope, but they will ask me to perform girl group dances for them, hahahahaha!

3. About “H1N1″ Times.

Happy8: Last year all of you have managed to achieved good results in various arenas, but there is still some little regrets. For example Jonghyun, Onew and Taemin all came down with H1N1 at different timings. How did everyone endure through that period?

Jonghyun: We rested well, ate medicine, ate meals, relaxed our moods. That… It’s actually like coming down with a flu, it didn’t feel very serious except that it’s a new virus which everyone knows of so it appears to be very seriously. But thinking about it, it’s actually nothing much…..
(Jonghyun catches the look from leader Onew and responds especially quickly.)

Happy8: Did you feel scared or confided in your colleagues saying “I am feeling really terrible” or other thoughts like this?

Onew: When I first realised it, I was shocked and unhappy as our new album was just released and we have prepared for all our promotional activities but I ended up being unable to promote, so it felt really horrible. So I just kept telling myself to recover quickly, and in the end I finally recovered.

Key: At the point in time, my first thought was : “I am really fortunate to not have been infected with the virus. I shall not see those few who are ill during this period of time.” Keke.

Minho: I just washed my hands regularly, and also tried not to tire myself out, but those with good immune systems don’t really need to worry as much.

4. About the Never-ending Personal Issues.

Happy8: What is your ideal type of girls?

Key: I don’t really have an exact person in mind, as long as her personality matches with me it will be fine.

Minho: Our personalities must get along, it will be best if she is pretty.

Jonghyun: Someone who is caring and understanding.

Taemin: A girl who has fair skin.

Onew: I like girls with pretty hands.

Happy8: If you have to choose a member to be your girlfriend, who will it be?

Onew: Key!

Taemin: I will choose Key too.

Jonghyun: Me too.

Minho: All of us feel that it is Key, because he likes shopping and takes careful notice of fashion and style. Normally he is also very thoughtful and detailed, and has a personality that is willing to take care of others, so we chose him.

Happy8: What about Key?

Key: I am not very clear, maybe it’s because I have never been in love before so I am not very clear about this feeling.
(Key’s eyes kept glancing at the other 4 members, and in the end he still did not make a decision, seems like he really cannot decide…)

Happy8: We always see photos of you shopping together, do you always go out shopping together or something?

Jonghyun: Actually we don’t always go shopping, let alone shopping together, but what is strange is that the few times we went out, we were caught on camera. We ourselves even feel that it’s weird when we saw the photos.

Key: Yes, the fans are really amazing.

5. Ask & Answer Time!

Happy8: As the leader, how does Onew maintain the relationships between members?

Onew: If I love all of them, they will naturally listen to me. Keke, they are very obedient right?

Taemin: Though there are times when there is a generation gap. Keke, most of the time we will listen to him!

Happy8: What is Jonghyun’s shortcoming?

Jonghyun: That I am too perfect, hahahahaha.
(Minho patted Jonghyun’s shoulder with the intention to say something but sighed and let go of him. The rest remained speechless.)

Happy8: Minho participated in Korea’s university entrance exam last month, how did that feel?

Minho: That is Korea’s biggest exam, before the exam I was nervous and worried. I was very busy during that period, but on the night before the exam I rested really early, and I felt good after the exam.
(There was some problems with the translating but it seems like Minho said that his results are out.)

Happy8: We always see Key dancing girl group dances in some Korean variety shows, how many dances do you know?

Key: There isn’t any limit, as long as you show me the dance I will know it. Perhaps I am faster at learning dances compared to the other members.

Happy8: Taemin is the youngest in the group, so usually which hyung takes care of you the most?

Taemin: All of them take care of me a lot… (stuttering) After living together with the hyungs for so long, all of them are just like my real hyungs.

Key: You must choose one from the 4 of us!

Taemin: Then…Then… The manager hyung!
(At this point in time, Key pretended to look very disgruntled, and kept sighing, probably thinking that Taemin was going to choose him. When the reporter complained that the answer was too safe, Taemin looked helplessly at the other 4 members who were staring at him, his expression was really amusing to watch.)

6. It’s Him? It’s Him? It’s Still Him?

Happy8: Who is the most Casanova?

Taemin: 3 votes / Jonghyun: 2 votes

Side Story: The hyungs also pointed at Taemin with the expression that this kid is really someone that we should not take lightly. Taemin seemed pretty proud that he was being chosen. Kid, this doesn’t seem to be a compliment!

Happy8: Who likes kids the most?

Key: 4 votes / Minho: 1 vote

Side Story: Just when everyone else has chosen Key, Minho raised his hand timidly and said aggrievedly : “I… I… I like kids too!” The entire room erupts into laughter.

Happy8: Who is NO.1 without makeup?

Minho received all votes.

Side Story: Minho was especially happy at this outcome, his smile was really sweet. At the moment, Jonghyun said: “So you are finally happy now right!” which caused Minho to ’strangle’ Jonghyun’s neck. Key added from the side: “Actually all of us are not bad without makeup, of course except for me. Because recently I have to apply eye makeup, so when I removed it, even I can’t stand it. Haha!”

Happy8: Who do you think will be the first to get married?

Key received all votes.

Side Story: In the process of voting, Jonghyun was shaking his head and saying : “Sigh! Do we need to even say this…” The few of them then started ranting about how Key always tell them about how he wants to get married and such stuff, and Key himself was also having the expression that agrees with them. His urgent desire to want to get married can be seen from how he actually voted for himself. But kid, how old are you now!

Happy8: Who is the most handsome member?

Taemin, Jonghyun and Onew pointed at Minho. Minho pointed at Jonghyun. Key abstained.

Side Story: Jonghyun pointed at Minho and said: “He’s really handsome!”

Happy8: Who has the biggest appetite?

Taemin received all votes.

Side Story: Initially everyone chose Minho, but Taemin was saying softly at the side: “Please choose me!” So Jonghyun said: “Of course it’s Taemin!” In the end everyone chose Taemin. We didn’t see you guys fighting to be chosen as the most handsome member, but yet you fought so much to be the member with the biggest appetite, we give it to you!

Back to normal?

2010-01-25T23:16:00.003+08:00

I just saw video clips of Key recording SGB, so I figure that he isn't all too messed up about the passing of his grandmother. I can see that he is handling it all very well, how professional. I'm proud of him! Weird, coming from someone younger than him. Anyway, now that I'm in a better mood, I can gush all I want about SHINee! :D

They are coming.

Almighty Key's grandmother passed away

2010-01-24T00:21:00.006+08:00

Key-oppa, stay strong! Your absence in the last RDD & Jojo performance at Mucore was strongly felt. I'm glad that you got to attend the funeral anyway. I believe that God has beautiful plans for you and I know that your grandma is in heaven right now watching over you and your family. KEY HWAITING!

I'm so upset that his grandmother passed away. SHINee had been really busy lately and I'm guessing that he hasn't had the chance to meet her lately. I don't even care if he shows up in Singapore next week or not. I just hope that he is given some time to mourn for the loss of his grandma. I feel so sorry! His grandma is like his best friend. He talked about her whenever he had the chance to. Gahhh, it makes me tear up. I can understand the pain from the loss of a grandparent. D:

Amazing Graffiti Cafe at Far East Plaza!

So I am a little biased. Most Singaporean Shawols may already know of this place. But for people who are still in the dark, here's a heads up. This graffiti cafe is located at Far East Plaza's basement. It's next to Ya Kun. Bring along pretty markers and decorate the place with SHINee!

Fantasy

2010-01-20T03:28:00.004+08:00

I can't sleep. I've been thinking about this for some time now. I wish that I was born beautiful, talented and in Korea. I do believe that being pretty and talented plays a huge part in people accepting you. I'm not saying that it is everything, but there's no denying that it helps. When you have a weird body proportion, there are so many things you can't pull off. There are nice clothes that you just love but look horrible in them. I can't sing well either. I was curious as to how my voice sounds like when it gets recorded. Face it, our voices sound lovely to us as we sing, but probably not as good when you hear it through the voice recorder. And yes, I sound weird. I sound like some kid. I can't dance either. I'm strangely uncoordinated for an athlete. I just wish I was born different. Yeah yeah I know... accept yourself for who you are.. blahblah. There are such things called fantasies.

I am a superficial being for wanting to be pretty and talented. So shoot me.

Resolution #1

Resolution #01:
Be nice to others/stop badmouthing them.

Current mood: Happy & Contented.

2010-01-17T14:18:00.009+08:00

I know I'm such a fan girl. I've already bought the replica of Key's ear stud & the marine blue bracelet which Taemin has. Oh, along with the earstud, the nice people of DVDHeaven sent 3 stickers of SHINee's A.Mi.Go Days! I was so delighted to see them!

I'm meeting up with Angie to head to Ikea later on. I'm going to buy a box that will fit everything that is SHINee. I would hate to see their CD covers damaged, therefore they need to be put in a box. I'M SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW, I CAN SKIP AROUND THE HOUSE FOR THE ENTIRE DAY.

Anyhoo, JAE results will be out on Wednesday. I don't know whether to look forward to that day or to be scared of it. Sigh~ I need to calm my nerves. Maybe I should go shopping. I need more clothes for poly anyway. Who's with me? :D

Decisions, decisions.

2010-01-13T17:13:00.003+08:00

I'm immensely satisfied with my results, thank you very much. I don't need you bugging me about how other people did better than me.

I don't know if I want to do vet course at TP anymore. I'm so worried. Why is my decision wavering now? Is that good or bad? I'm fretting at making choices now. I'm seriously considering going to Ngee Ann Polytechnic. It's weird that I have a polytechnic in front of my house and yet I'm thinking of travelling all the way to Clementi just to go to school. However, NP does offer a greater and better variety of courses as compared to TP. WHY OH WHY? D:

Maybe right now, I should just concentrate on mailing to the buyer on eBay. I don't know what to do about that too! Sheesh....

Looking through the poly courses makes me want to kill myself

2010-01-07T01:57:00.007+08:00

Who knew that I would be receiving so much stress JUST by looking through some pamphlets sent to me through mail? This is definitely giving me a unhealthy amount of stress. My previous decisions are wavering. Maybe veterinarian course is not the suitable course for me after all. I feel ignorant, as if I've been cooped up in my little world of daisies and Taemin for a long time, not knowing what has been going on all this time.

Sigh~ I wish life could be much easier. Only now do I realise why people choose to be superstars rather than pursue a life of education. I don't deny that reaching that level of stardom (referring to Korean performers/superstars/idols) is not easy, but it sure beats memorising formulas and swallowing a hell lot of ~~crappy~~ information which we probably do not need in the future.

Here I am, dreaming of a life that I can never get. Sigh.

Welcome to 2010!

2010-01-01T22:23:00.006+08:00

1st post of the 1st day of 2010.

Time passes fast, so fast that you do not even realise how close reality is to you. I bet that it is going to hit me like a brick wall. I'm a nervous wreck right now. Sort of. I mean, I will be receiving my O level results in merely 11 days. It's SO CLOSE that I can feel it breathing down my neck.

Anyway, new year's eve was not as bad as I'd expected it to be. I was feeling disappointed before. I'd thought: was I not worth your time? I'd decided to work that day, since I was already feeling rotten from the consecutive rejections/abandons. Oh, and for the record, 31st of December 2009 was the final day for me to work at Cafe Cartel. Yes, I HAVE QUITED MY JOB. *Does a victory dance*

Right, so I headed to Angeline's house all exhausted and sweaty from work at 11pm. We bought macs and Ben&Jerry's chocolate brownie fudge back to her house and pigged our way through the new year. It's actually much more fun than I'm portraying it to be. I'm just tired from the lack of sleep. I hadn't a slept a wink last night because we were up talking about stuff, settling problematic situations and all. (I wouldn't say that they were resolved though..)

I came home in the morning in a zombie-like trance. I uploaded more stuff onto eBay. I've sold my jacket! *Does another victory dance* I'm super ecstatic now -in my mind. Hahaha:D THEN. THEN RIGHT, MY AUNT TOOK ME OUT FOR DINNER AT A NICE CHINESE RESTAURANT! :D What a great 2 days that I have had! I thank God for the people that I have in my life. I love you Jesus!

I miss you, Taemin! I hope that 2010 will be a year for you all as well! My wishes for you guys are to be happy, healthy, united and become even more successful than you are now. Remember how far you guys have come and know that your fans will always be rooting for you all. I can't wait to meet you guys soon! (Taemin-ah! Take care of yourself okay? I do hope that you will remain healthy and strong. Saranghae~!) I'm looking forward to your next album! SHINee Fighting~!

SHINEE!!!!!!!

2009-12-30T14:21:00.004+08:00

OKAY, OMG, OMG. HERE IT IS. SHINEE IS COMING TO SINGAPORE! *SQUEALLLLLLLSSSSS!!!!!!* IF YOU'RE A SHINEE FAN, THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY NOT TO BE MISSED. THEY WILL NOT BE HOLDING THEIR OWN CONCERT, BUT SHINEE WILL BE PERFORMING FOR Joon-Sung Oh AT THE ESPLANADE ON THE 1ST & 2ND OF FEB 2010. HOW COOL IS THAT? I CAN'T WAIT. I'VE ALREADY MADE PLANS WITH ANGELINE. WELL, SORT OF. BUT GOING THERE IS OF CERTAIN. THIS TOTALLY MADE MY YEAR. WHAT A HAPPY DAY(: HURRY & BOOK YOUR TICKETS! ♥ SHINEE FIGHTING!

(thank you Lord for allowing SHINee to come to Singapore!)

Impromtu Pool/shopping day

2009-12-28T23:27:00.006+08:00

Today was an uneventful day. I made two plans today, and both plans got cancelled before it was after noon. I made in promptu plans with Arsal, Jun Wei and Jia Rong to play pool at Bugis. I thrashed all of them at pool! How awesome am I? Hehehe.

We played for about... 2 hours? It was getting a little boring, especially since the losers(Jun wei & Jia Rong) were taking a long time to finish their round. We headed to Food Junction at Bugis Junction for dinner. The pasta I had was way too sweet! I pushed it aside and finished the deep fried breaded fish and mushroom soup. My thoughts? What a waste of my money. (Pouts)

We shopped around and Jun Wei bought a watch for $10. I must say that it was cheap but I believe that things that we buy should be of good quality and such. Alas, Jun Wei complained that his wrist felt itchy after a while and I couldn't help but sneak a smile. Teehee!

I know that I should be nonchalant about this, but it is truly too irksome to ignore. (I apologise for using code names) Mr. U was being so annoying today. I mean, I tried to be patient, but evidently it's of no use! I figure that maybe he was trying to fit in, but I think that he was being plain rude. There's a difference to being straight forward and being rude. Obviously, he has crossed that thin line. I hope this message was cryptic enough. Geez.

You're too deeply rooted in my heart. How am I suppose to get out of this abyss of fantasy, when I can't ever have you? You're absent and my mind is left to imagine what could be; Now I realise that I am in too deep.

SHINee's Nana'sB CF

2009-12-26T00:52:00.005+08:00

Sorry, I'm not going to put up the official CF as it is extremly lame and I don't understand what they are saying.

Minho's cut

Taemin's cut

Onew's cut

Key's cut

I swear that Key looks plain hilarious. I can't help but laugh when I watch his cut. Minho, as usual, is super charming. Onew... well, uh... he looks like a kid. I guess he is the most boy-next-door among the SHINee members. Taemin is a little awkward. I mean, imagine stroking a camera while pretending that it's a face! It's awkwardly cute anyway. There's no Jjong's CF cut. He was probably down with H1N1 then. I'm glad they've all recovered!

Taemin + Sulli from f(x)

Minho + Sulli

(Please look at Key's face. It's freaking hilarious!)

Minho + Taemin + Sulli (full version)

Seeing Minho and Taemin fight over Sulli is just too cute! Can I say that I'm insanely jealous of Sulli? Anyway, just in case you lived in a cave and just came out of hiding, the song "Stand By Me" as many have heard in Boys Over Flowers were sung by SHINee. Therefore, it is played throughout the Nana'sB CF.

OH, HOLD ON. THEY HAVE A REEBOK CF TOO!

Okay... here's another SHINee CF for some cracker/chips or whatever...

Weird. SHINee have a CF for school uniforms. Aren't school uniforms supposed to be standardized?

Anyway, SHINee supposedly shot a Chicken CF but I can't seem to find it. I think that that's about it. AWESOME! :D

My wish for christmas is that Lee Soo Man will go bust!

2009-12-25T00:31:00.008+08:00

I know that it is christmas... and that it ought to be merry. However, I can't be merry knowing that the poor artists of SM Entertainment are suffering!

SM Entertainment is a vicious company! All you have to do is type "Lee Soo Man abuse" or "Super Junior Sue" or "DBSK Sue" and there it is, proof that SM Entertainment is a money sucking company that drains their trainees dry of money and energy.

I mean LOOK AT TAEMIN. He is practically bones. SHINee claims that their body do not gain weight easily and I think that THAT is an exaggeration. Truth to be told, it is obvious that SM Entertainment are starving their artists. I'm not saying that the artists should be ungrateful, as it is true that SM Entertainment propelled most of them to fame. However, there is a THICK line between pushing their trainees hard and preventing them from basic human rights.

1. SM Entertainment get way more than 50% of profits from artists' album sales, digital sales, endorsements, etc. When 50% is already pushing the limits, they actually get close to 95% of the profits. This case is true for DBSK. This means that when SM Entertainment or more specifically, evil money sucking Lee Soo Man gets 95% of the profits, the remaining 5% is split up among 5 members. If I'm not wrong, DBSK also only get a certain among of profit if album sales are above 500k in copies. In lament terms, they get NOTHING if album sales are below 500k. So let us say that they do sell more than 500k copies... per album, each member gets 1 cent.

2. "In reality, 13 years of contract meant a contract for life." The contracts that SM Entertainment offered to their trainees are labelled as slave contracts. It's no surprise, considering how much they are suffering. They can not take a break. For example, if they take a break, 1 week would be added on to the 13 years. So if a member goes for military service, which is approximately 2 years, they are bound to the contract for 15 years. Did they have a choice once they sign the contract? The answer is obvious: NO. In the instance that the contract would be breached, the penalty would be to pay 3 times the total investment, 2 times the lost earnings. That is more money than one can imagine. Termination of the contract is therefore impossible. No break meant No break. If any one was sick, they still had to work. That is how Hankyung of Super Junior got gastritis and kidney illness and he suffered from fatigue. By the way, he also filed a lawsuit against SM Entertainment for mostly the same reasons. By the time his contract expires, he would be 35. Go figure.

3. SM Entertainment starves their artists. It's obvious that they are starving them. I mean, COME ON! Rumours of SNSD(Girls' Generation) only eating 800 calories a day arose. How did SM Entertainment simmer down the angry fans and netizens? "It is not 800 calories. The girls eat 1200 calories a day, not 800 calories." Wow, that makes a load of difference. They are eating much lesser than what a woman ought to eat a day. LOOK AT TAEMIN! He is practically skin and bones! WTH, they(SHINee) claim that their bodies are the sort to not gain weight easily. But THIS is an exaggeration! WHAT AN OUTRAGE! I know Taemin just hit puberty and that he is having a grow spurt and everything, but it is just SO OBVIOUS that he is not eating enough. Please watch this video. (You can forward it to about 3:40) You can tell that they want to eat it.

4. Lee Soo Man Abuses the SM Entertainment Artists! Oh just google it. I'm way too agitated to continue. I'm not kidding about the abusing. It's the concrete truth. He's a douche bag.

All you have to do is google and you would know everything. What I'm blogging about is just the gist of the situation. Super Junior may disband, and this affects all of the bands under SM Entertainment. Ultimately, I'm worried for Super Junior and SHINee, especially Taemin. Therefore, boycott all SM Entertainment products till everything is done right.

Merry X'mas!

2009-12-25T00:16:00.007+08:00

Merry Christmas to one and all!
2010 is closer than we think!
My ranting shall be in the
following post.

HOHOHO!

2009-12-23T22:18:00.005+08:00

Tomorrow is Christmas Eve and I will have to spend it wiping tables. I'll be giving my dad's dinner a miss to clear people's leftovers. It is rare that my dad will be cooking and I can't believe that I can't get to eat it this year. OH BUMMER.

Anyway, to cheer myself up... how about some presents huh?! (:

GAP red sweater (pull-over)
Bowler hat
High-cut sneakers
Graphic Tees
A nice meal (HAHAHA)

and....... TAEMIN-AH!

Dazed & Confused

2009-12-22T00:12:00.004+08:00

I guess that there are many things happening now that I can not comprehend. I am a little more than scared, but there is nothing I can do about it. I just pray hard that in the end, everything will be better...

Anyway, I think my duty manager is a bitch to me. Seriously! The 'restaurant's' menu is the most not updated one I've ever come across! Their ordering system is abysmal and she expects me to memorise the disorganised menu within the three days which I had worked! I think that she is unreasonable and well, bitchy. I know that I'll be such a loser if I quit my job just because of that small issue... however, the pay is a miserable $5/hour and I only work 4 hours a day and 3 days a week. I do not see how all this is worth it. She crushed my determination to work diligently and made me feel dejected. I felt like whacking her, and at the same time, crying.

I've got a brilliant plan!

I find another job (better than this one) before quitting. It shall be my backup job! Then I shall cook up some lame excuse to quit. Maybe... I got a major operation that requires me to take a 3 month long break... or my entire family will be migrating to Africa because my dad got posted there at the last minute. I think that these excuses are buy -able enough for me to quit and obvious enough to know that I hate this job. (MUAHAHA)

I'm trying to sell some stuff on eBay to earn some extra money. This is because my current job doesn't pay enough. Simply the cherry on top of my bitchy boss, right?

To cheer myself up.... here's a picture of my lovely Taemin.

Bored. BORED!

2009-12-18T19:57:00.004+08:00

I've been busy. Well, kind of. I had just started working on Tuesday. It happens that my schedule for this week leaves me a day of break in between. Some friends are overseas... some are busy... some are partially insane. Technically, I have no one to hang out with. For now, I'M SO DAMN BORED. Anyway, I was surfing this website on SHINee for the entire day. I came upon a video of Taemin singing 'My Everything' by 98 Degrees. I have watched it before, but it just slipped my mind. Gosh, watching it makes me tear up! :D I love Taemin! :D

PS: I know the words aren't all that audible... but he's Korean, and for a Korean, he speaks English and Mandarin relatively well.

OH NO!

2009-12-11T20:19:00.003+08:00

Have you ever had that butterflies-in-your-stomach, fluttering-of-the-heart kind of feeling? I'm feeling that right now and it's all for the wrong reasons. I can't get rid of it! This is just damn wrong. That's why... OH NO! OH NO....

All this free time is allowing my mind to wander too far away from reality. It's almost too painful to experience. I need something to occupy my time, distract me from whatever is the object of my affections.

Suddenly, it's almost as if I feel that there is no point in life. I don't mean to sound suicidal in any way, it's just that there's nothing to do now. I don't feel that familiar driving force that I had felt during the major exams. Currently, life feels like an empty vessel, void of goals and meaning. What in the world is wrong with me? I think that the answer is everything. Wow, this is depressing. I think I need someone to talk to or at least start working straight away.

Can't stop thinking about you.

2009-12-10T00:49:00.003+08:00

I can't seem to stop thinking about Taemin. It's as if the more I know about him, the more I like him.

Feeling better

2009-12-08T22:35:00.006+08:00

I reached home today at 2.30pm after packing up the villa at Sentosa. Angeline's mother was kind enough to let me hitch a ride. The weather was beautiful this morning, but too bad that I can't appreciate it -I had no sleep at all. It was a party after all, so we burnt the midnight oil.... talking about girl stuff over some drinks. (:
I'm feeling way better today comparative to the last few days. You know why? I got a call from Cafe Cartel! The reason why I haven't received a call from Cafe Cartel was because a certain branch had all its vacancies filled. They called me yesterday as I was referred to another branch and I'm going to start work soon! :D

Anyway, I realise that I'm still drawn into the Hallyu. Those Cedarians updated me. Well, who caught my interest? Taemin from SHINee! I still love Taylor & Dai Yang Tian, so let's welcome Taemin to the family! HAHAHA. Okay, he's such an eye candy. He is also 16, which is amazing!

2009-12-06T01:55:00.001+08:00

JUST IN CASE YOU DO PAY ATTENTION AND READ MY BLOG, INSTEAD OF FB-ING, TALK TO ME.

Oh bummer.

2009-12-04T21:32:00.003+08:00

To be honest, I don't even know what to blog today. I'm such a bum. I've been lazing at home, sleeping at 5am and waking up at 3pm. It's amazing that I've turned nocturnal. It's kind of annoying, actually. Right... so I can't find a job. Curse Cafe Cartel for not informing me about ANYTHING. Great, so I've to resort to screening through the Classifieds for possible job opportunities for me. I'm stressing out even after my O levels. OH, the irony!

Anyway, Arsal just told me about his grandma. I really hope that she will be fine. I pray so hard to God that Arsal will get to see her soon, alive and healthy. I hope that everything will be alright for his family.

Okay, I ought to look for more job interviews and look for suitable polytechnic courses now. Before I go, here's what I'm currently listening to. It is Fearless by Taylor Swift.

Grieved

2009-12-01T19:29:00.003+08:00

While mourning for my lack of jobs, I miss Hiro! I can't believe that I will not get to see him for such a long time! Five years is truly a long time. (Sigh) Anyway, he promised me that if I ever go to Tokyo, which I totally intend to, he will be my free tour guide! :D How great is that? (Sigh) Hiro is truly one of a kind and I mean it in the best sense.

Okay, I miss Japan! I LOVE Japan. Hahaha, it's just so wonderful! I know that this freakish obsession with Japan is partially due to the fact that going to Japan was my first holiday trip to a first world country. But it is just so amazing! I want to go on a one month backpacking trip there when I have the means to do so. WOOHOO!

Frustrated, in the worst sense

2009-12-01T18:04:00.003+08:00

Am I or am I not going to get the bloody job? They didn't call, though it sounded as if they were going to. "We'll call to confirm the schedule," which obviously means that I got it already, (we) just have to settle the schedules. DUH. So why haven't they called? It has been 5 freaking days. It's extremely, excruciatingly nerve wrecking. Damn it, maybe I should just find another job. Damn irritating. I've been doing nothing, I repeat, nothing at home because I was banking on this call to come. I can't search for job if I got this so obviously I did nothing! UGH. UGH. WTH. (-.-)

Are you afraid?

2009-11-30T02:38:00.007+08:00

Talking to Hiro on Msn today made me realise the cruelty of reality. Will it, one day, come crashing and spiraling down on me like an out of control tornado? I guess that it is imperative that I should prepare myself for the worst. What if my plans for the future fail? What if I do not find true love? What if nothing goes right? What if the worst-case scenario just happened to happen and then I should find myself stuck in a 2 by 4 situation?

I wouldn't deny that I'm afraid. No, much more than afraid, I am terrified of the unknown. Hiro wished that we could just live life when it was... simpler. I hadn't realise that so much have changed. His comment made me realise that I do wish, too, that life was simpler, like when we were still in kindergarten and nothing but friendships and toys mattered.

We also came upon the subject on whether we thought if life was too short or too long. It would be ironic of me to say both. Initially, I'd say life is long as many of us constantly face challenges and life, as a journey, never seem to sail as smoothly as we had hoped it would have. But I changed my mind because then it occurred to me that life is truly too short. Over the short 16 years that I had lived, I realise that I didn't accomplish much at all. There were so many childhood dreams, no matter how simple they were, that I had wanted to reach. Evidently, there were few that were actually realised. How many stories have we heard about people regretting the things they failed to do in life in their deathbeds? Countless. I fear regret more than I fear the unknown. Therefore, it was not before long that I've decided to take a leap of faith. It is the reason why I'm taking veterinarian course in polytechnic. It is the reason why I do the things I do. I fear regret.

There are just so many things I can't say. There's so little people I can talk to. There's so many heartfelt things that I want to say but it just seem to get stuck on the tip of my tongue. Regret? I hope not.

I shall bid all goodbye with one of my favourite songs. Rascal Flatts' Bless The Broken Road.

Mon Chéri.

Yawn...

2009-11-29T17:41:00.005+08:00

Oh man, today is Sunday and it is real... BORING. I'm still sick but I'm ordering hawaiian pizza and spicy drumlets for dinner. I was talking to Kevin at 2 in the morning and he warned me about something. Well, I've heard the warning, but I doubt I can prevent it. The bitter truth.

Anyway, here's my favourite song of all time. Bob Dylan's Make you Feel My Love by Kris Allen.

When the rain is blowing in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love

When the evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one there to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love

I know you haven't made your mind up yet
But I would never do you wrong
I've known it from the moment that we met
No doubt in my mind where you belong

I'd go hungry, I'd go black and blue
I'd go crawling down the avenue
There's nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love

The storms are raging on the rollin' sea
And on the highway of regret
The winds of change are blowing wild and free
You ain't seen nothing like me yet

I could make you happy, make your dreams come true
Nothing that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends of the earth for you
To make you feel my love

NEW MOON ROCKS:D

2009-11-28T23:08:00.009+08:00

Well, I just have to say...

NEW MOON WAS BEYOND AWESOME!!!!!

Okay, let me start from the beginning of the day, literally the beginning. Sadly, I suffered from insomnia yesterday and only slept at 5am. Yes, you've read it correctly, 5am, when I tried to sleep at 3.30am. Part of the reason for my insomnia is my aunt's insanely loud snoring. Therefore, I had to sleep on my living room couch. I slept for an hour there, morphing in and out of dreamland, before waking up to the sounds of my aunt's footsteps echoing through the house. I went to my room to sleep. And you think that was it? No, I was woken up by my annoying mom's voice telling me to wake up at 11.30 because I had to see the doctor.

Did I have to see the doctor? Wait, huh?

Anyway, I ended up NOT visiting the doctor. I headed to Ion Orchard with my mom and sis. We walked around... had lunch... went to see diamonds.... Woah, (hold it)... diamonds? Yes diamonds. Somehow they are ultra interesting to my mom and sis. I bought my hair dye with my mom's money ( ta-da! I saved money! :D) and bade them goodbye. I went to Borders to buy the New Moon soundtrack and the book P.S I Love You. I'm a happy and drowsy girl! Oh, I forgot to mention that I ate flu medication before stepping out of my house. It made me drowsy and I was basically walking along the roads of orchard half-awake.

I met up with Eliz(bird) at macs. She ate Long John Silvers for dinner. What a pig. (: Oh, I just realised that Long John Silver is a pirate dude. Just something really random. Anyway, Angeline came just on time! I bounced into the theatre and bobbed on my seat despite feeling sleepy.

The screen read.......
" 10 more minutes before the movie starts.............."

What a total spoiler! The entire cinema booed. Throughout the movie, whenever Jacob Black(Taylor Lautner) was in a scene, the cinema went..... "OOOOOoooo!!!" and "OMG!!!!!" and "-GASP- AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!" & that audience included yours truly. Heehee. I shall not add much details of New Moon here. I would hate to be a spoiler(: GO WATCH NEW MOON!

Along with the ticket stubs came a lucky draw for a Volvo(WOOHOO!) Hmph, even if I win the Volvo, I would have to give the car to my sister. Lame ass, but I tried my luck anyway. I'm so gonna watch New Moon again. :D

I'm listening to the New Moon soundtrack now. Dark and broody...... well, I like it anyway. Enjoy New Moon, everyone!

NEW MOON TODAY!

2009-11-28T01:16:00.008+08:00

I'm watching New Moon, TOMORROW, no actually, TODAY! I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Excited! Heading to Lido, Shaw House to catch the 7pm movie. One thing I'm really upset about is that only Shaw is showing New Moon. Their cinemas sucks. I wanted to catch New Moon at The Cathay or something, where the sound systems and screens are AWESOME! :/ Anyway, I just can't wait! (:

Oh, I also can't wait for Arsal to come back from Japan. Tomorrow is his last day in Japan with Hiro. He's going to get me a lot of gifts :D or "gifts", hehehe. I need to hang out with him more often. He's great to go shopping with, I think:D Well, he's my brother for a reason, right? :D

Okay, I'm sick. I've been coughing and sneezing for the past 3 days. I need to sleep early. Well, not as if 1.30am is early.

yeah yeah
