A whiff of...

Uh oh. I think I'm starting to like that smell of his. His perfume is quite distinctive, and I gotta say that I seldom find a guy who emits this kind of sweet smelling perfume or cologne.

Most guys would have that typical pungent fog of perfume (apart from B.O.) around them that it chokes up my trachea.

My own bottle of Neroli Jasmine is three quarters-full. Still a long way until I can buy the delicious smelling Cherry from L'Occitane *grumbles*

A (Very) brief shot to fame

My shameless fangirl antics on Sunday will forever be recorded into my mind until I die. I'm planning to kill myself next month cos we're slated to be broadcast on MBC. Yes, MBC Korea.

This was another one of those interviews about international Kpop fans. Unlike the Song Seung Heon interview last time, yesterday was more of a mockumentary as they followed our 'fanclub' on a fanclub-esque day out. We were forewarned that we'd only be inserted into a 5 minutes slot of their program... However, the whole ordeal took almost 6 hours so I guess my face is gonna be edited out a lot! xD

It's a royal shame that Farah wasn't able to join us. But twinnie, you should count your blessings for not having to endure any future embarrassments.
Guh. I'll make sure to post the video up when it's ready.

The first part was a meeting/gathering which consisted of some 13 people (that's 8 of us plus 5 of Mr.
Seo's former students) and it was obvious we outshone those poor
people. We next moved to Tower Records for them to capture us
fangirling over the 'latest' Kpop albums there like we always go there to buy our stuff. Puahah. Oh, the irony!

Above is Moonie and me capturing each other on our K800i(s). Our last scene is at a noraebang (Korean karaoke), so on the right there is Tasha and N'war when we just arrived.

Here's Kak Bailah and those four on the right (Lyndy, Moon, Jess and Fel) who kept randomly picking songs they liked but couldn't sing. K800i_080413mbc_shooting04K800i_080413mbc_shooting05

Then there's teh Lyndy in Wondergirls action. It being my first time in a noraebang, I was quite surprised at the number of Jrock songs listed although they're pretty old. Whoohoo! I'm gonna have to look for lyrics so I can go there again.

Anyhoo, it was fun! Somehow, Mr. Seo conveniently forgot to mention that the cameraman is in reality a renowned director for MBC >_

Helplessly Poor

Whenever my friends ask me how I am, I'd automatically answer "I'm not OK. Actually, I'm feeling very poor."

My bank account will be nearing zilch due to the burgeoning amount of Shinhwa CDs I've ordered this month. Hopefully there's enough balance for Dongwan's second album. =_=

And I've finally figured out how pathetic it is to plan a Seoul trip for the upcoming three years since Shinhwa is soon-to-be absent from the entertainment scene. So this month's income will be streamlined to paying debts while maintaining my trip savings. Mwahah.

But. BUT. BUT!! May is going to be another month in torture when the Hide Memorial concert goes on... without me. Yet again. ARGH! Another concert where I'll be staying at home crying my eyes out. I mean, c'mon: X JAPAN, LUNA SEA, Dir en grey, MUCC, D'espairsRay, Phantasmagoria and so many moooaarr bands performing??!!

Gimme some more o' them Daim

Went on quite an 'adventure' with the DongBang Clan (ekekeke) from Setapak to Hartamas and back for a belated birthday lunch/celebration for Farah. I didn't know where they were leading me to because honestly I couldn't hear what Twinnie told me. Mian ^^;;

My mouth agape and eyes wide apart, I stepped into a chic Korean-export
restaurant called BBQ Chicken. So without looking too jakun I pretended not to look around. Lol. I had a BBQ set of 2 Korean Charbroiled chicken pieces with salad (it was coleslaw, btw) and mashed potatoes.

Blog080405_01

Sorry, I was too hungry. I had already annihilated the chikin with gusto when I realised I forgot to take piccy. Look ma~ licin habis!

After lunch, we sped off to Ikea for dessert! I was still recovering from the yummylicious chikin *pats tummy* yet I had to make space for bottomless coffee and Hyung's current obsession: Daim Cake. ROAR.

Blog080405_02

*succumbs to toothache with sheer joy* Why have I never tried this before in my whole life?! All the trips there wouldBlog080405_03 always be dominated with my hunger for their signature meatballs. What a shame!

[Much to Farah's horror, we were adamant in singing her a Happy Birthday. Hey girl, you're only 25 once, ya know? And it was fun watching the Clan's DongBang-ified version...]

Two coffees after and then dropping Meli off at her apartment and finally parting ways at the Melati LRT station around 5pm, me and Farah rushed over to KLCC. We managed to beat the time even after a really long queue to watch "L Change the WorLd."

But the movie only succeeded in making me crave for more food! Argh!!

I solemnly swear...

... That I am up to no good. Er, sorry. Wrong pledge. *shoos Fred and George away*

I solemnly swear that Shinhwa will forever go on in my heart.

Those ShinhwaChangjo-ers really made me, made us all Shinhwa fans, very proud. The Oath was drowned out by all those girls' (and boys') tears. I'm sure I would've choked up too.

Action speaks louder than words, no? Ehh, or tears work better than.. than.. whatever :S

*blows nose* That was the first time I cried while listening to a heavy metal song on fullblast.

Combo cravings

Dsc00106

This was what I had for yesterday's breakfast, lunch and dinner. Woah.

An empty stomach does things to your mental perception of an 'adequate'-sized meal. In Javanese I would be called batak or as Malays put it, tamak.

My sister scoffed at the burning-a-hole-through-your-purse-type of price. So I glared at her back and reminded that the first place she suggested to eat at was Chillis. Hah!

Band-sy weekend

Tomorrow's the FT concert day. Will be meeting Liza (gave her a mighty shocker when I mentioned this! - I forgot to tell her I already bought us tickets) at LRT KJ where Noviar&Ayu are gonna pick us up.

*sends milk, cookies and much-needed-hugs for the concert organiser. FIGHTING!!* Hope I'll be able to see the girls tomorrow. ;_;

Am currently listening to MUCC's "Shion" and I dare say that I'm pretty pleased with the outcome of their latest album. It took several repeats to really warm up to but the overall feel is still fundamentally post-"6" MUCC with more experimental flavours thrown in. The arrangements are much better this time, as Miya gets a lot more limelight than usual eventhough he sounded meek on most guitar solos. A little less grunge, still as angsty and a lot more poppish. Yeah, "Shion" is still in need of more of 'a little of this and that' but this album is not bad. Not bad at all.

I'm a bit disconcerted over why I keep listening to Tourbillon's "Break the Chain" (It's the opening song for Kamen Rider Kiva after all D:). I guess I still am in awe with Ryuichi's Luna Sea-esque voice. The little Monkichi. *pats Ryu's head*

Oh, after my daily rations over at jrockynyc I just realised that X Japan's concert was friggin yesterday! Oops.. my week was a little hectic that I hadn't the patience to read Jrock news of late. Anyway, can't wait to watch Sugizo! hihihihihihihihi xDD I love Hikkichan.

Apart from the concert, I'm also downing Juno Reactor's newest goa trance album "Gods & Monsters". Good stuff, this. Good stuff. MOAR Sugizo goodness, yum ♥

Orange Attack

Tadaima! My PC is finally back, alive and definitely kicking after I succeeded to godek it up over the last weekend. Alhamdulillah... Just in time to spazz some more for Shinhwa's 10th Anniversary.

I'm sure a lot of people did the same as me yesterday. The orange fever really hit me bad last night. Look what a sappy fan can do with a whole lot of spare time (under the circumstance of a broken down computer) and a spanking new camera phone:

Orangeday_1

Crazy woman gone overboard? I doubt I'm even close to owning orange as a true fan would have amounted.

Go ahead and post/talk about all the random orange coloured stuff you can find in your house :D

*Kicks CPU*

My PC went bust last Friday! I'm stealing some time on my brother's since he's not home yet. I've long suspected my power supply was faulty because there was trouble booting. Usually it'd be okay after several reboots. But looks like this time it won't even juice up. Grrr. Need to go Low Yatt/ Digital Mall for new one. Grrr. There goes my plans to watch H&C anime over the weekend
