Listening to: (what else but) 동방신기 [주문]
This is gonna be a super duper long entry, as promised. Lol. But its gonna be packed with pics instead and erm a few lines here and there..
Anyway, in short its just gonna be about DBSK. Ha the main priority on my list right now. Oh well. I am still studying my korean, albeit not in the most hardworking manner.. =p
First up, the Asia Song Festival 2008 on 4th october at the World Cup stadium, which was surprisingly pretty near to our house. The 3 of us! (taken by some angmo passerby)
The various vendors outside the stadium selling everything under the sun that would burn a big hole in a fanger's pocket, me included. Lol. Well, just a dozen or so name tags, light stick, keychain, jae's stickers, binoculars n balloons.. ha.
All the singers who were attending the festival had their own board.. angel took pics of almost all of them but i shall just put up my 2 favorites. Heh. Note where my hand is on the board.
My next favourite.. youngsaeng~
After we went into the stadium. Huge banners that greeted us and my favourite of cos will be this..^^
The Red Ocean.. Ah. I must say something about them. It was like 1-2 hours before the concert was scheduled to start and the Cassies were there, singing Mirotic together.. In a really loud voice and i dunno why i was really touched.. As in it was like i could feel the love and unity and it kinda made me think i can finally understand how fans can be a pillar of strength and adrenaline boost for singers.
The Triple S.. They did sing too but it wasnt really as clear as the Cassies' version..
Another pic that we took..i dunno why the guy din take it in a landscape manner to capture more of the background..
My lightstick when not switched on.
My lightstick when switched on. Yeah i did wave this thingy frantically at the bois. Lol. What's the point of having a lightstick when you dun?! But im still looking for this really nice one of Jae..
Of cos, the main highlight of the festival. The Cassies were really quiet throughout other performances (can i say especially during SN**) and i was waiting for them to coordinate this. And it finally came out during Mirotic. COOL! In case its not very clear in the pic, the sea of green lightsticks show 'TVXQ No.1' highlighted against a background formed by red lightsticks.
There are other pics of them dancing on stage but i just picked the best one. Hee. And of cos jae wasnt that near to me. I would faint if he was. Lol. This was taken off the big screen.
The reason i put up this was cos Andre Kim (the white alien-ish person) was with the bois. Lol. I wanted to see him upclose!
Okie. Besides DBSK, i also caught Fahrenheit, W-inds, SS501, UKiss, 2AM, shin seung hun, karen mok, SNSD (i was hardly enthusiatic about it), Yoga Lin and a whole bunch of other pple i dunno who.. ss501 looks good too..
I cant believe i really did this but yeah me and rachel woke up at 630AM on 11th october just to go all the way to Ilsan MBC Dream center to catch Music Core. I am amazed too. Lol. Anyway its really a long story. In short, we were supposed to catch Rain first at 10am and then DBSK at 320pm but Rain started 2 hours late in the end and i had to skip his performance to queue up for DBSK. Its not really that surprising but fans were already forming queues at like 9 plus? So i had no choice. Wasted!! But DBSK was worth the long wait, rebuffs by the SM staff, freezing weather in the morning til glaring sun in the afternoon. THEY ARE THE BEST. Lol.
Too bad MBC music core was rather strict so no cameras were permitted at all. But i was happy enough taking in all the sights..of cos of the bois. They were so duper cute! Especially when they were making mistakes.. Lol. There was this part the 5 of them supposed to come out from the bottom of the stage and there was something wrong with it so only their heads popped out. Jae was so freaking adorable~ n the Cassies started chanting each member's name and Ho just repeated the name with them.
Ahh and i must comment about the silent cheering thingy. Im totally impressed (yet again) with the Cassies~ They really kept to their word and only did the routine cheer as in like repeating the last 2 words after the chorus of 주문 while staying quiet during the rest of the song. More interestingly, while waiting, they sang in unison again to the performance the bois had recorded earlier. Kinda like lip syncing to the bois' version. I find it pretty cute. Lol. Cos some parts they went out of sync with the bois so they kept trying to fit back into the tempo.
What other funny snippets.. Ah. The jets of smoke thingy that singers always have during performances. I think it was Chun. Too much smoke came out and it was so funny to see him smothered in smoke. Lol.
And the live performance of 주문 is waaay amazing. One word to describe them: 'TEMPTING'. Lol. But i so wanna hear 'Love in the ice' live too!
Anyway the numbers they wrote on the fans' hands to show queue number. 529 was for Rain while 4-1 was for DBSK. Ohya, i forgot to say i saw Son ho young too. Before the staff chased us out of the recording studio.
After that, of cos i had to drop by junsu's dad's pizzeria since i was already in Ilsan. I din do this when i came last year so this year i finally asked for a pic with his 아빠! Hee if Junsu's cardboard figure din look that fake, it might have passed off as the real junsu himself. And his cute dad kept asking me n rachel to study hard when we left.. ^^
The countless number of junsu pics on the board.. I would be proud too if i had such a fine son..
Ok i dun really like this pic cos i look horrible in it but i like where my hand is. ROFL. So just kindly ignore my face. 
Tada! This is better.. Lol. Though i have no idea what i was doing. 
Lastly, all the vandalisms on the walls down the stairs from the shop. I might consider leaving my initials there next time too.. HA.
Yeah~ i finally finished everything. Tiring! Lol. Ok gotta sleep soon though tomorrow i will be learning samulnori (korean drums) as part of some culture program.
To end it off, a pic of my erm part of the room. I cant help decorating in this manner cos im pretty used to a wall full of stuff at home.. Do you spot the ultra cute clock that i fell in love with at first sight? ^^
