Raise your hands if you're a book-lover!

my sister spent a whopping RM200+ on books last Thursday at the MPH Warehouse Sale. i chided her after paying that amount (thank God for credit cards) but when else will you have the chance to buy a total of 14 books (i can't remember how many we bought) at THAT price? yea, book prices are shit these days.

i really had fun. not many browsers were there at the time we arrived. so we took our time to look at every corner of the place. BOOKS EVERYWHERE, i tell you. *sigh* haven't been to a warehouse sale in a long time. anyways, the array of books were AMAZING. in good condition too! the ones going really cheap were at the back of the warehouse, didn't find anything i like tho. most were Buffy and Angel. a lot of cheap children's and preteens' stuff. not so much of chic-lit was available. i just picked up random books with nice covers.. but still nothing i liked.

after around 1 hour at the back, we tawaf-edto the entrance again. ooh. saw some really famous authors on the way. the bestsellers are up here, and the price-cut for these ain't really big. RM25 for a normally RM34 novel is better than nothing, right? saw the new Shopoholic boo-- AHA! turns out the book i was destined to 'meet' was indeed there.

"Hello, Mdm Hobb. How are you? I'm fine thank you. Btw, you're my hero."

yeaaaah i finally got my paws hands on her final trilogy. whoohoo i'm sho proud of myself aaand also of my sister since she paid for 'em. mwahaha. two books and it totally made my day ^___^. she grabbed a whole lot of other books: Sidney Poitier, Stroud, Tash Aw, Barker, Tintin, stuff for the kids. 3 and a 1/2 hours of bliss. today was the final day, and the price would have been jawdroppingly, MADLY cheaper than before. ah well. i'm happy with what i have already ;D

oh hey, i just read the bad news in yesterday's papers about Hikki (Utada Hikaru, for the uniniated) divorcing her director-husband. 4 years went POOF. she's just released her Flavor Of Life single.. what an irony. another early-marriage gone awry? (she got hitched when she was 19)

My Graduate Hubby

my 2nd hubby, Park Hyoshin, has just graduated with a Degree (i don't think it's Diploma) in Art & Design from Kyung Hee University! Hyoshinnie oppa, chukhahaeyo~!



aww i didn't even know he had spent the last 3-4 years to finish his studies. honestly, before this when i read his profiles everywhere else.. i thought he'd dropped out from Uni, but it seems that he was doing his degree via part-time/jarak jauh. which explains the looong MIA period in the whole of last year. i guess he took time off to finish his final year? and even during his currently mad tight of a schedule (you should go see his activity planner on his official site, February is really packed!) with his comeback performances and appearing on so many radioshows, he diligently came for his convo ^_^ although a little late. *thumps Hyoshin heartilly on the back* he's sucha good boy, ain't he? Oppa, if you could only know how proud i am with you. *sniff sniff*

Hyoshin came to the majlis quite late and he sat beside Jung Junho (actor; twinnie's former ahjusshi) and Park Tae Hee (Yoon Band's bassist). here's a YTN vod showing 'em talking about each other. i don't know what pakcik Jung Junho said about Hyoshin, coz i doubt he actually kenal him >_Look! He's so darned handsome!

NOW i'm officially dead

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! x______________x

i am so blardy MAD aaaaand friggin' jealous of these 2 fans that got to meeeeet my hubby (albeit, the 2nd one) in some obscure looking radio studio! During a damn radio broadcast, ok!! pulak tu dapat shake hand, dapat dengar dia nyanyi depan mata, dapat BELAJAR nyanyi dari dia, dapat duduk minum dengan dia~~~~~~~~~ *RAAAAAAGES*

you tell me, who wouldn't be green with envy just about now?! yiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii not fair woh! xP

if my Sad Angel sang right infront of my eyes, i'd most definitely faint. or cry. plus, my hands wouldn't remain idle by my side. like these 2. my hands ah.. they'll be absently running up and down his body. lol. but yeah~ i can see them spazzing and melting there already listening to his deep shexy voice! *stabs* MWAHAHAHAHAboohoohoo.









TT______TT boohoohoo... there isn't even the slightest possibility for me to get to meet him. much less to get him to come down and do a soul concert in Malaysia siiiiiiiigh. his moustache-less image is making them melt, i tell ya. dammit lah. why'd he have to shave it off so soon? at least keep it until your first comeback broadcast on Inkigayo or wat.. Hyoshinnie oppa!! why'd you go and shave it off

they even got personalised autograph T____T. and his album looks so mighty fine, with the goldish goldish thing. AIGOO! NOT FAIR LA WEI!!

Crying in the rain..

Pictures are taken by wednesday @ Kpop Kingdom.

as tired as i have been for the past week, i have to admit, watching Rain's concert together is definitely the balm to my weakening mental and emotional state.

nevermind the sun glaring onto our shared LG-Kingdom booth, nevermind the sweltering heat, nevermind the annoying insects swarming us for annoying reasons... all that matters is that we got to spend the end of our work by huddling together in our LG-Kingdom Zone sharing a simple meal of bread that i managed to sneak into the stadium and then spazzing & shouting away like no one's business at that little sanctuary Aunty Yong found for us.

I LOVE YOU GALS~ twinnie, nwar, tasha, mel, jess, moonie, shu, mishie, felsh, hyungie, jzune, several Kingdomers who acknowledged me and said 'Thank You' plus Aunty Yong too (for that spot under the console): i don't think i could've stayed alive without you people. special kudos also goes out to to Yuri, Eeza, Nicole for the wonderful time of working on this project AND nov for driving us back home after midnight. Thank youuuuuu~! and just to make his concert really meaningful, i blew away a few Ringgits of credit to give my good friend (who's in KL currently but wasn't able to go for concert due to my negligence) a live telecast. Hope you enjoyed the concert like I did too, Kak Zai.

but all that shortlived happiness (IT WAS ONLY 1 DAY OKAY!), we eventually had to say Goodbye to Moon and Jess who have gone back to their hometown and will leave us to go to Australia for 1 year. uuuuu i can feel the emptiness already T-T. siiiigh. therefore i am Officially Dead now. my brain and body is refusing to answer to each other.

er.. that sounds like a lie 'tho. heheh. because today is my 2nd hubby Hyoshin's fifth album release. i've put his 1st single on my profile page. go and listen to it! it's beautiful comeback of my Sad Angel. seems like an apt time for his return, really. i hope he can soothe my aching heart. Dongwan's too busy snogging Hwang Jung-eum

Goodbye 2006.. Hello 2007

I'm so happy that I remained a good Laruku fan. Seems that my old hangout joint, Laruku.com, is undergoing a total regenesis. Damn. Took 5 bloody long years to kick the webbie alive again. Anyway grousing aside, they're offering a free L'Arc 15th Anniversary gift and guess what? It's the t-shirt that I featured in my blog before! mwahaha It feels good that I already own something so precious AND gave it away as a present for JerRy ^___^.

A lot of other good things happened in my life last year, tiring tho at times.. it was all worth it ^-^. So here is my summary of the year that was:

The first quarter of 2006 opened up with a rare opportunity for me to study Networking. I made new friends and passed my MCSE course. March was the revival of my love for Jrock. and ooh~ I got to meet Cha Taehyun and Song Hyegyo! In April, I started as a trial Kpop Kingdom staff under the watchful guidance of my twinnie. lol. And then we slaved for 5 months in preparation for Kingdom's first ever magnanimous KPop project: the TVfXQ Live in Malaysia Concert.

Summer was definitely our season ;D! The concert proved that Malaysia is finally being recognised by South Koreans. Plus, July had brought me closer to Super Junior. I think without their presence in Malaysia, I'd have died out of boredom (Shinhwa was too busy with solo activities and hadn't prepared a new album). However, my heart still belongs to Shinhwa oppa deul. September was the CLIMAX: I met Shinhwa with my own 2 eyes. I practically begged my dad for money to go for their State of the Art concert in Singapore!! And I shall eternally be enlightened with their love

Year End Haulings

yep. it's that time of year again. new resolutions yadda yadda yadda. my 2007 Resolutions list is non-existent. i have absolutely no idea what i want to do with my life. siiigh. when i was in primary school, my dad had this regime of getting my siblings and i (minus my sister since she was already in Uni back then) to sit together after solat jemaah, and mentally make resolutions for ourselves. so after Maghrib prayers, i would nervously wrack my brain for self-motivating objectives that will somehow be applied in the upcoming year and pray that Isya could come sooner -_-. hey, it's not easy to assess yourself AND admit your weaknesses when you're only 10 years old. but then again i guess my dad has always instilled this sense of independency from such a young age among his children.

HAHA. truthfully that was the only time i ever made resolutions. i guess i'm the sort of person that takes on life when it comes. but i have inherited his habit of planning things beforehand.. which i seldom use in serious matters. ^_^;;

anywaaaaay, back to the list. *scribbles New Year's Resolutions on a paper* let's see...... #1. Get a job. ok. next? #2. Get a JOB! Resolution Wishlist: #1. New shoes for Rain concert. my current shoe is falling apart. #2. Super Junior 2nd and BigBang 1st albums. saving money now. #3. Super Junior photobook in Malaysia. it's out of stock! have to wait for restock. #4. 2007 Calendar. either Shinhwa or Super Junior. =_=;; ok so this one is not sure yeeet... but it's so tempting! that's all for now i guess, i'll think of more later.

ah last of all, have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year everyone~!

Selamat pulang, Achik

Song Seungheon's back! he's finished his 2 & 1/2 years of military service, and today he's out out out OUUTT..

*wipes tears* uhuuhuuhuu wanjon bogoshippeoyo, oppa..... we truly waited for you. and 2 years just came and went so quick. i can't believe you've really comeback now.

thank YOU for thanking us fans for waiting. we just can't help loving this fella for his genuity, ne ;). well, Sky should already be there, welcoming back our beloved oppa at the gigantic fanmeeting.

impending good news from the Shinhwa front. it seems that Dongwan is acting in an SBS production drama starting this December (airing in January, hopefully). UNFORTUNATELY, this drama will be his last before he enlists. *sigh* one oppa comes out, soon my husband will shoulder his duty by enlisting in March next year. T  T

a nuna's tears

나는.. 채 동생들의 누나 .영원히 . NUNA NUNA YEA ♪ NUNA NUNA NUNA YEAA ♫

this nuna is crying tears of happiness.. because my beloved dongsaengies have finally put an end to my wait. thank you for coming back, SS501 dongsaeng deul. saranghae~

they've already released their HIGHLY awaited debut album, 'S.T 01 NOW' yesterday. their official comeback  was also yesterday, although M.Net M.Countdown was shown on Thursday. before this, i was getting tired of seeing so much of them on vids but with only 2 released singles... i wanted to listen to them properly.

and now, after putting in so much effort to give us fans something to love them more with (what they should've done a long time ago), their album sounds very promising! i'm loving it to bits! loving Jungmin's voice.. wuaaaah. and i can actually hear Hyunjoong singing. whee i'm sho proud of them. *throws confetti onto Hyunjoong, Jungmin, Hyungjoon, Kyujeong and Youngsaeng*

W E L C O M E  B A C K !

* NOTES: nuna = kakak; dongsaeng = adik

siiiiiigh

dagnammit! my legs are paining like mad >_paining doesn't exist in the dictionary, i swear it's the ONLY word to describe how cramped and tired my legs feel right now. yesterday morning, Citibank Tower occupants had to succumb to one of the most horrible torture regime ever created in the world: the Fire Drill. yes, a Fire Drill. i was forced to leave the comfort of my morning; my squeaky chair, my Milo left to grow cold, our air conditioned office and the huge pile of work -- and ushered to the emergency staircase to calmly and slowly climb down 38 bloodyflights of stairs! at that moment, i thanked the Mighty Lord that Oracle wasn't on the 48th floor sheesh. Assunta's fire drill was fun-er. by the time everything was done, it was already lunch break xD

todaaay pulak me and twinnie walked back to citibank from klcc after an event. i guess i'd hit the limit for 2 days. hence, my thighs are throbbing and aching. heck i'm practically waddling like a penguin instead of walking like a normal human being :x Plus, the agonizing ride back home in the LRT. aaarrgh! of all days, everyone just HAD to -HAAAAD TO!- cram the station up so damn early (Ampang Park. 4:45pm) to avoid getting caught in the rain like yesterday.

huhu. this just shows that i'm so farking unhealthy. yarr lah. always say want to exercise, but only exercise infront of computer. how leh? during that TVXQ concert, the pain was triple worse with all the running around. but then i kept on moving because my dongsaengs were there ^_^. know what, my uncle says this bad knee condition runs in my family. so does high blood pressure, breast cancer and heart attack. o_O i know i'll get to it.. someday.. soon.. maybe next year.. maybe when i earn more.. maybe never?

siiiiiigh...

rotation? for once!

no videos to download. so what did i do? i went on an mp3 splurge. puahah. last tuesday i downloaded almost 1Gig of latest Jrock releases. wheeeeeeeee xD. luckily i have my guitarwhorejrockers to fill my dreadful life during this bleak Kpop period. shinhwa's gone solo ways (yet again) and suju's practically perf-inactive.. THANK GOD that Se7en already put out his newest album. if not i'd die x__x

here's some awesome stuff i'm listening to now. UVERworld is a newfound treat~ a surprise!
