I guess all of you knew how JYJ started to tweet. It was Yoochun who caused a stir in Twit-world when he created a Twitter account with a genius work on his name. 6002theMicky. In Korean, 6 sounds ‘yuk’, 1000 sounds ‘cheon’ and 2 sounds ‘i’. So put them together and you will get ‘yukcheoni’ or rather Yoochunnie. How much I love this dork yet smart guy?

He was followed by my heart throb, Jaejoong with an account name of ‘mjjeje’. Seriously, I have no idea what his account name means. Anyone had broke the code yet? Share with me. And finally, our adorable Junsu with an account name ‘xiahtic0101’ which is quite obvious. I was only wondering why Junsu chose his registered birth date instead his real one.

I was expecting Jaejoong to be the first one to step into Twit-world because he had used Twitter in his J-drama, Sunao Ni Narenakute. He seemed like a Twitter expert in that drama but in real life, he’s more like a beginner. Junsu made us aww-ed when he was confused about how to tweet someone without others reading it. Later, his cousin helped him by telling him to send a Direct Message.

JYJ shared their experiences in New York and Las Vegas which made us felt that we were with them all the time. They were energized by the number of fans that turned up for their showcases in a land that they never performed before. And sometimes they went crazy a bit too. Jaejoong sometime tweets sill things that make me feel that he’s a normal after all.

Recently, Yoochun was ‘attacked’ by fans that tweeted something about Yoochun’s tweets when he was in Las Vegas. He left a tweet that says “Should I leave Twitter?” Jaejoong tweeted seconds later that he’s going to Yoochun’s room and afterwards, he tweeted that Yoochun is okay. So Jaejoong comforted his soulmate. Sweet~

That gave me a chill because I can’t imagine my online life without seeing the boys tweeting now that I’m used to that. I’m even looking forward for my exam to over so that I can stay online in Twitter and reply JYJ’s tweets although there are chances that they won’t read it. So please don’t quit Twitter,JYJ~

Ever heard of Tohosomnia Forums? It’s like one of the coolest DBSK forums out there. I’ve registered in many forums and yet I’m most active in Tohosomnia (but not at the moment because I’m on hiatus). So Tohosomnia have the lively shout box where members always initiate the conversations and most of the time, it’s about the boys. Who don’t love spazzing about the boys anyway? The shout box ‘dies’ sometimes but believe me that once people start chatting in it, you will know why I’m saying the shout box is one of Tohosomnia Forum’s specialty. Next is all about the administration. Admins used to be active in shout box but now you can’t see them that often. No wonder that it is such an updated and cool forum because the admins put their effort in order to maintain a nice environment for the members.

I must admit that without the translators, the forum is nothing! They work hard so that we, the members can read a much more reliable updates. Jeelim is a Korean who is currently lives in Dubai and she’s the perfect candidate to translate Korean articles to English. And we have Mandasoh, Cherie, Monica and Rara for Japanese translations. I’m sorry if I left out any other translator’s name. The recent fun was on Twitter. You can get the translation of what the boys tweeted no matter in Japanese or Korean within seconds. I trust them with all my heart.

Graphic designers always stun us with their amazing works. If I’m not mistaken, Tohosomnia Forums’s DBSK 6th Anniversary banner made by one of the graphic designer was used in DNBN. I love that banner too. Their current background is made of my all time favourite photos of DBSK. I love the platinum blonde Jaejoong in it. He’s a GOD(dess)~

The members are the highlights. Since this is an international forum, you can see fans from all over the place. I felt a bit awkward at the beginning and won’t join them in shout box. But once I get to know them, they are crazily fun! You gotta believe me. So I used to spend hours in Tohosomnia Forums simply because of the fun in spazzing about the boys. We have fruit nicknames, animal names and MMP (You will have to ask around to know what that means. They will kill me if I say about that in here). Tohosomniacs or Tohosomnians are friendly, warm, nice and hilarious!

So my word is that you should go and register yourself in this forum if you are not a member and explore this wonderful forum. Nothing beats a heaven where you can share your love for DBSK with amazing Cassiopeias.

P/S: I wasn’t paid by Tohosomnia Forums to write about their forums. This is genuinely from my heart. I’m a Tohosomnia Forum Lover ^_*

JYJ is on Twitter! How better my online life could be? Too bad that my exam is just less than 10 days away so I can’t ‘stalk’ them online. But I’m receiving updates in my phone which is always tempting enough for me to go online. These boys are having fun in Twitter and that delights the fans most. They are just the ordinary people that wake up and tweets about their cats, tweets about their composing-songs process and tweets about staying awake late in the night. There was once where we have to trend #jaejoongshouldsleepalready in order to make Jaejoong stop tweeting and get some rest. What causes sensation in Twitter not so long ago was when both Jaejoong and Junsu uploaded their semi-naked photos on Twitter. And also when Jaejoong asked his followers to learn Korean. We are more than glad to follow them at least on Twitter because it’s is the only personal channel to send our messages to the boys. The fans expressed their worry for Yoochun when he was hospitalized for his fatigue because of his Korean drama,SungKyunWan Scandal and The Beginning album showcases. Not to forget Jaejoong and Junsu appeared so cute when they showed some epic fail in using Twitter.

All these make me realized how much DBSK means to me and days without thinking about them is like a life in hell.

JYJ had rocked New York City for their The Beginning album showcase. What touches each and every single fan is that JYJ paid for the showcase using their own money therefore, the showcase is free for anyone. This was done by JYJ in order to keep their promises to their fans. JYJ have some problems with their visas and with a condition saying that the showcase must be free, JYJ decided to use their own money for the reason that the show must go on. And whether it’s free or not, more than 6000 fans showed up to support our boys. That is a BIG number of fans for artists that never perform in that land. Now, that’s what we call as DBSK and Cassiopeia power. DBSK is a global artist. They are famous in their homeland, conquered Japan and eventually every part of the world. This is the true Hallyu Wave but Korean media seems to forget that. If SNSD’s Gee was ranked in Oricon daily chart is the proof of Korean Hallyu Wave, how about JYJ’s The Beginning album that was in America’s Billboard chart? I’m on glee that my boys are unbeatable by any newcomers in Korean music industry. No offence to other idol group’s fans. Face it. TVXQ is definitely unbeatable. They showed respect for their seniors and remained humble although swept off most of the major awards for their ‘O’ Jung.Ban.Hap album back in 2006. Remember Jaejoong told us that after received all the Grand Awards in 2006, they have to return to Japan to do some promotional activities where their stage was in a university’s hall? Their down-to-earth attitude is what made TVXQ is invincible.

Here are a few things about new idol groups that I found weird and not-so-pleasant in MY eyes.

1. Too many idol groups until you have a hard time to recognize which member belongs to which group. The number of the members is also a big concern. It’s no longer trio or duo but six or seven! The logic is simple. When there are too many members, they don’t get a chance to portray their talent in singing as their parts are limited. That shouldn’t happen because they are SINGERS!

2. Off the field works like in variety shows. Singers sing. That is like ABC of music industry. But as you may have noticed, more rookie idol group members start to appear in variety shows to promote their groups. I only watch KBSWorld and this trend is a hit. KBS had started a show just for the girl band members (Invincible Youth) where 7 girls spend some quality time together by doing farm works. And I used to watch Let’s Go Dream Team Season 2 where Minho (SHINee), Danny An (g.o.d) and Eunhyuk (Super Junior) were in it. They were like the aces of the team and every week I anticipate their performances. But now, I don’t see them anymore. Great dismay for me and I stopped watching it. And if you are in K-Pop world for quite a long time, you sure knew about most of the Super Junior members have other professions other than being a member of SuJu. Siwon acts, Yesung does musicals and Heechul is a radio jockey. I really don’t know why they are in a band when they don’t hang out and create songs together. Another example to that ‘culture’ is Big Bang. They are in Big Bang but the members released solo albums. Why bother to be in a group when you don’t sing together?

3. The quality of the songs. I’m just commenting on their trend in K-Pop music industry. No offence. If I’m not mistaken, SNSD’s Gee sets the trend of creating songs with repetitive lyrics and catchy dance moves. Songs like BoBeep (T-ara), Heartbeat (2PM), RingDingDong (SHINee) and Bingeul Bingeul (U-Kiss) all have that trend. Hello? Wake up! You are not creating children songs to make it easier to remember with repeating the same part again and again. I can memorize DBSK’s Hug which has different parts for each of them. It’s not hard. Believe me as it comes from a non-Korean’s mouth.

4. Step up! Take your time and make good songs with your fellow band mates and then make your comeback with an ALBUM. Not with a single. I’m puzzled of why artists nowadays like to release a single, then a re-packaged album and finally a full album. I watched KBSW’s Entertainment Weekly last week and they featured coverage on number of hits that topped their Music Bank charts for 43 weeks. Only SNSD’s Genie was on top for 5 weeks consecutively. After that, a NEW song for every week. People’s taste changes as more songs are released at the same time.

I’m not bashing other artists. I still like to listen to non-DBSK songs like Love You More Than Yesterday by Kim JongKook, some of Lee Seunggi’s songs, FT Island and CNBlue. I love those artists that rely on their abilities in singing rather than those who promotes themselves as beast idols or sexy idols.


Attention!

From now on, ignore the previous non-DBSK posts because this will be solely a DBSK blog.

The purpose of this blog is to house my fanfics and my personal opinions on DongBang news. Leave a comment especially after you read my fanfics. I really need support from my readers in order to write more fanfics.

I had posted several fanfics of mine in several sites. Winglin, AsianFanfics and even in LiveJournal. The only problem is that it always struck me that my language sucks in some of the fics and eventually stop working on it. Remember, English is only my second language. I’m trying my best to improve it. In all those sites I had mentioned above, I used ‘anthra_JJ’ as my author name. So the next time you come across that name, you know it’s my work.

I will post one or two of my earliest works which I will edit for sure before posting it here. And after I’m done with it, I will post my new stories. So look for it ^__^

Any questions, tweet it to me.

Fan Account (Part 2)

.::. Part 2 - Show of a lifetime and bidding the boys a temporary goodbye .::.


After the lunch, somehow we lost our way to the monorail station despite the fact that we have Jo, the KL girl with us. So we just took two cabs to Stadium Negara. I was in the same cab as Jo and Jas. When we arrived at the stadium, Jas shouted ‘Junsu! Junsu’ and I went hysterical right away at the thought maybe she spotted Junsu outside the stadium. I bugged her ‘Where? Where?” and she answered “In the poster lah,” while pointing at a YooSu banner. Then she told everyone that I’m already high even before the show starts. Next, our goal was to find
the GMS (Geng Mata Sepet) to get our ‘Saranghae Project’ goody bag and my ticket from Farah. But we spotted ‘Rock Records’ booth and they were selling The Beginning album and I just bought it without a second thought. It was a great dismal that the photobook were sold out because I really want to get my hands on it. After purchasing the album, our search for GMS continues. Apparently the girls were really busy till we don’t have proper greetings.

Aina - This girl loves Junsu and she’s just as cute and adorable like Junsu himself. And pretty as well. Somehow Aina’s ticket lost somewhere and that caused a mini commotion till she bought another ticket from FatDeal.
Lea - She was busy looking for the lost ticket and being a staff for Saranghae Project. But her smile was warm when she greeted me. Lea, I can’t forget your smile LAH ;-p

Leanne - This is the girl that I bugged continuously for a few days before the showcase. She and I cursed SME and spazzed like crazy over Lee SeonJun (Yoochun’s character in SKK). She was tensed up but what funny is when she asked me “Are you Nanthini?” and I said “Yes! Leanne, I’m standing beside for the past 10 minutes,” LOL.

Yuulina - She was busy giving the goody bags and I only heard her said “Farah, Nanth 3 bags,” when Farah gave me the goody bags. And I managed to take a photo of her with Aina later.
Farah - I owe this girl a lot. Without her, I won’t make it this far. So thanks for the umpteenth time,Farah. I feel like I wanna pinch her cheeks and say “You are so cute LAH, Farah,” but I don’t get a chance. Next time when we meet up, I will sure do that.

Ice - There’s this girl who is wearing a white framed spectacles and sitting beside Swezing unnie. I know she must be someone close to GMS girls but I can’t recognize her. Then when she introduced herself, I shouted ‘Ice!Ice!’

Nia and Ayu - These Yoochun lovers flew all the way from Indonesia to see the boys and again, I can’t recognize
them because I had never seen their pictures before. Apparently Nia was selling a photobook and I didn’t hear when she said that since I was busy sorting my things. When Jac paid for the photobook, I went hysterical again. “Nia! I want one too! Sell me that one *points at Nia’s photobook*” and of course she don’t want to! LOL. Just my bad luck. And Ayu greeted me and I don’t why I called her ‘Hikarinome’ despite I already knew that it is Ayu. Sweat.

When we were busy recognizing Tohosomniacs, we heard the boys practicing inside and we can hear their voices outside the stadium. Fans went crazy (and that includes me)! I was like “I’m hearing their actual voices for the first time ever,” Around 1pm, we walked to the Entrance C and saw a huge crowd waiting for the doors to be opened. Jac,Jas,Swezin,Reyna and I were together as we all are in Free Standing Zone while Jo’s is numbered seat.
We were at the very end of the line and the heat got us. We were sweating like crazy and were tired even before we go inside the stadium. And what kept us alive were the voices of the boys singing ‘Empty’ again and again inside the stadium. There were these two girls and one of them looked so doll-ish which made us thought she is Japanese. She was holding a signage with Junsu’s picture and “Junsu nim” wrote on both sides. She and her friend came to us and asked whether this the entrance B. Apparently, she is not Japanese but a Thai. If I’m not mistaken, she went to the showcases in Thailand and Singapore before coming to Malaysia. And when she told us that she actually touched Junsu in the airport, we screamed our lungs out. I felt dizzy instantly. Then she dropped another bomb. She even touched Jaejoong and he smiled at her. Again, our screams fill the air and everyone around us looked at us. Someone from OneCassiopeia forum came to us and gave a tiny pouch with 2 sweets and a paper to write our message. She asked us to throw that thing during the last performance. So I wrote in Korean ‘Jaejoong Saranghaeyo! Junsu Saranghaeyo! Yoochun Saranghaeyo! Changmin Saranghaeyo! Yunho Saranghaeyo! DongBangShinKi Youngwonhi! Xiahzart! Lee SeonJun! Dr.! JaeJoon!” and drew a coconut tree for Junsu. Sealed with my kiss, I placed it in my bag.
After bathing in our own sweat under the hot sun, suddenly it starts to pour down. The first thing I did was protect my JYJ poster and ticket. We ran to the entrance and it was shelter enough but poor fans that got wet by the rain because no shelter. It was just like in a sardine can. People were pushing from every side and I have to make sure that I don’t get separated from my friends. Somehow only Swezin unnie and Jac were with me as Reyna and Jas ‘lost’ in the crowd. There were a few times when some of the fans chanted ‘Stop checking!’ because it takes a long time. Honestly, I joined them in the chanting. What impressed me were a few Cassies who really cared for others. They warned about the metal bars and I saw one of them holding back the metal bar away from the fans so none of us get hurt. She was holding it back so hard that it pressed deeply on which I believe a fanboy’s arm. I told her “You are pressing his arm,” and she relaxed a bit and give me a warm smile. After pushing and shouting ‘argh’, we finally made it. We practically shoved the tickets into their hands and made our way to the Free Standing zone. Red Ocean is visible as pearl red lightsticks were lit up. Again, we were at the back of the crowd. I took a few photos of the red oceans and the stage. The show was about to begin when we spotted someone looks alike Jaejoong at the backstage. I think our brains weren’t functioning well because we thought it IS Jaejoong. Of course, we start screaming! The moment the lifts were raised and the boys stood in flesh before my eyes, I’m sure I let out tones of OMG’s. The first song they performed was Empty and I wasn’t in the right state of mental from the moment I heard Yoochun start off the song with ‘Girl,I swear…” in his husky and deep voice. I was jumping and screaming at the same time. Then I noticed that there weren’t much fans near the metal bars. So I ran there and leaned over and tada! I can see all three of them performing flawlessly from a side view. I dragged Jac and she joined the madness. I really loved the ‘Let it go’ dance move and it is more special when Jaejoong was dancing that movement at the side of the stage that is close to us. I don’t really remember all the dance steps for all songs because I was busy screaming and jumping. Second song was Be My Girl which is more a ballad song. I was completely indulged in their voices. I heard from other Cassies that went to their live shows before that DBSK’s live performance is the best and their voices sounded just like in the CDs. Third song was Be The One, a song that has the right beats to make you move your body without realizing it. After that performance, it was time for greeting. As usual Junsu and Jaejoong introduced themselves in Korean which was translated by a Korean translator. As for Yoochun, he spoke in English and his accent is ARGH! No words to describe it. The host for the showcase told them that Malaysians love to add suffix -Lah at the end of a sentence and asked them to give it a try. Jaejoong said “I love you LAH,Malaysia” and as expected we went high, screaming our lungs out. Then the host asked the boys “Do you think Malaysia girls are hot?” and since it’s a Yes/No question, Junsu right away answered ‘Yes’. I think Jaejoong said ‘Yes’ but maybe the host had asked him to add more (my memory is messed up, so I kinda forgot what she asked) so Jaejoong said “I know! Malaysian girls are so beautiful,” That adorkable guy knew what to say in order to make us go gaga over him.


After that little chat, the boys went back to business. The next song was Chajatta (Found You), Yoochun’s Korean drama Sungkyunwan Scandal’s OST. This was supposed to be a fan + JYJ song. But I guess we were immersed in the excitement till we missed the chants. Then, it was Ayyy Girl which incites the atmosphere. Seriously, when they sang the ‘Ayyy~ayyy girl’ part, it reminds me the ‘Are~are~are~you good girl?’ in DBSK’s Are You Good Girl song. After this performance, it was time for the boys to bid goodbye to the fans. And again, Jaejoong never fail to make me smile at his words. The host asked when they are gonna come to Malaysia again and Yoochun asked Jaejoong. Jaejoong said maybe next SUMMER. And the host told the fans, “Jaejoong forgot that Malaysia is all year summer,” Yoochun told us that they will be on worldwide concert tour which will be in June or July next year. All three of them thanked the fans and stated their hopes to meet us soon. And Yoochun ended with a loud scream of “Always Keep The Faith,” Nothing beats DongBang boys.

The last song which is an encore but a remix version Empty and this time I decided to stop jumping. Instead I recorded the entire performance which they tried to interact with the fans such as Jaejoong sing ‘Let it go,” and aimed the mic to the fans. Too bad I can’t sing because I was busy fancam-ing. With a burst of confetti, the less than an hour showcase ended. We got to see the boys walking to the backstage since we were glued near the metal bars. Jac asked me what to do with the pouch and we decided to pass it somehow to the boys. We saw the translator was sitting a few meters from us so I waved my crazily and she saw us! She walked to us and I told her --> “This pouch thingy is part of OneCassiopeia Forum and we were supposed to throw it but we didn’t. So can you pass it to the boys?” and to our great surprise, she took them! We thanked her for a few times. Can you imagine that among hundreds of the pouch that were given to the fans, only Jac’s and mine were actually passed area beyond the metal bar. LOL.When Jas wanted to hand her fan letter to personnel, they rejected it by saying they can’t pass anything to the boys. The showcase is over and only the buzz from the fans can be heard. That’s when I came up with screaming “Jaejoong” at the direction of the backstage. And we did~

We left the stadium and this time Jac and I got separated from Swezin, Jas and Reyna. In front the main entrance, someone was selling DBSK’s towels and bandanas. I bought 2 DBSK Miroticon towels and gave one of it to Jac. We bought 100 Plus to quench our thirst. Since it’s already 4pm, I thought it’s better to take a cab to the KL Sentral. We were walking to the other side of the road when Jo called and asked our whereabout. I told her it’s getting late for my train and bid her goodbye. There were another 2 Cassies who came to us and asked where we are going. We told them that we are going to KL Sentral and they are going to Sg.Wang. They asked whether they can share a cab with us and we said yes. So all the way to Sg.Wang, we interviewed each other. Those girls are from Penang and introduced them as Margaret and ChingChing. Margaret is a Junsu lover and ChingChing is a Jaejoong lover. Both of them got down at the Sg.Wang and Jac and I started to spazz over the performances.

Arrived at KL Sentral around 4.50 and decided to fresh up before sorting various things in our bags. We settled down in Burger King and sort all our things. More reddies start to flood BK. They were looking at us since we were wearing DBSK t-shirts and I was busy snapping photos of The Beginning Photobook. Around 6pm, I hugged Jac and bid her goodbye which I hope is not the last one since she will fly to Sabah on 10th December and her chances to come back to Peninsular Malaysia is very low. All we hoping for is another meet up for JYJ ‘SUMMER’ concert next year.

In the train, three girls who seating in front me also went to the showcase. I saw them holding the photobook and one of the girl’s message tone is Junsu’s voice singing ‘Saranghamnida’~ Obviously, she is a Junsu lover. There was another Cassie in the train which I knew when her ringtone is “Chajatta”. So I’m not the only Cassie in both trains I took. I reached Kampar at 8:24pm which means my wonderful journey came to an end.



Fan Account (Part 1)

.::. Part 1 - A secret journey from Perak to KL and mini meet up with Tohosomniacs .::.

When I said ‘secret’, I really mean it. None of my family members knew that I came to KL to see the boys. Nothing seems bad when it is for the boys. I woke up around 3:58 am and wasn’t sleepy at all despite the fact that I had only slept for merely 2 hours. Those feelings I had within me were mixtures of excitement and anxiety. I boarded a 5:09am train from Kampar to KL Sentral. Once I settled down on my seat, I plugged in my MP4 player and start listening to all the songs in The Beginning album. It’s a 2 ½ hour journey so after my MP4 player’s battery is low; I decided to just take a short nap. I don’t know how many minutes I slept till I heard a familiar music. JYJ’s Empty intro music. I’m already smiling before I realize it. And noticed that girls beside me were wearing red t-shirts but they were with whom I assume as their grandma. Ignoring them, I lost once again in deep thoughts while watching the sunrise. I fidgeted at the last few minutes before reaching the KL Sentral station at 7:26am.

Once left the train, I made my way to KFC for breakfast and bought a newspaper on the way. Ordered KFC a.m Twister with a cup of tea and sat down with the newspaper. Merely going through it for any articles of the showcase. Earlier in the train, I asked my unnie to meet me at KL Sentral before I meet my Tohosomniac friends. This is the first time ever I’m meeting her so I’m quite nervous. Maya unnie, I ‘met’ her in LiveJournal and we exchanged numbers after a few chats in LJ. Ever since that, I’m close to her but never met her in 2 years of our friendship. Just like I haven’t meet the boys in my 2 years of fandom. After finished my breakfast, I wandered around and since there weren’t many shops running business, I just found myself in a bookstore called Sun@Mag. I already browsed every single novel inside the store when my unnie asked where I am. So I told her I’m in Sun@Mag and when I stepped out, she was there. Smiling and walking towards me. I only mouthed ‘Oh My God’ again and again. We didn’t hug but she grabbed my wrist and brought me to a bench just near the shop. I was staring at her and speechless for a few moments. We talked mostly about our feelings on that day and how we look in person. Random talks. She gave me a bag which contains presents from her. And that’s when I felt guilty for not getting anything for her. Around 9, we went for a walk inside the KL Sentral and bought ourselves McFlurry Cornetto and Vanilla Sundae Cone. I asked whereabouts of my Tohosomniac friend, Jac who willing to hang out with me since I’m not familiar with KL routes. We walked to the KL Sentral Monorail station and all the way, we were talking how it will be different if Changmin and Yunho are here as well. At the monorail station just after few minutes we arrived, a bunch of girls in red came to buy tickets. And my scanner eyes already found a Jaejoong keychain on one of the girl’s handphone which confirmed that they are Cassie.

Jac met me at the monorail station and after bidding my unnie goodbye (since she wants to go to Stadium Negara earlier), we boarded the monorail. Inside,there were more Reddies. I can’t help but to be ecstatic to see people in red. Simply because I felt the sensation of JYJ in the town. Hang Tuah station which is the station for the Stadium Negara is a station before Imbi station which is for Berjaya Times Square. Jac and I mentally bid goodbye to all the reddies that left at the Hang Tuah station. LOL. Once arrived at the Imbi station, we made our way to ground level Starbucks and Jas wasn’t there. Then we went to the 3rd level SB and found it was empty. Went to ground level SB again and decided to change my clothes before Jas comes. Yet another surprise when Jas patted my back when I’m talking to Jac. So did we hug,Jas? LOL. I don’t remember any hugging. Swezin unnie and Reyna were with her. Swezin unnie looks so young that I would believe if she claims that she’s 19. And as for Reyna, she’s really cute! Swezin,Reyna and I decided to go to the washroom when Jas starts to tell about the showcase in Singapore the night before. A few things that I found interesting are :-

1)S’pore fans chanted (maybe) “I love Jaejoong,Yoochun,Junsu” and dorky Yoochun asked them back, “Love Jaejoong *short pause* YoochunJunsu?” (YooSu ftw!)

2)Jaejoong introduced himself in English. "Hi.I'm JJ"


Finally, like being forced to change my clothes we three headed to the washroom and all the way long, Swezin unnie and Reyna told me how the showcase was in S’pore. It started a bit late and that made them miss the flight to Malaysia eventually. I changed into a red t-shirt with my DBSK long sleeved t-shirt tied around my waist. Put on some ‘proof’ that shows I’m a Cassie as well. Actually I was tempted to change faster because I saw more reddies in Times Square. LOL.

We bought ourselves bottled fruit juices (which turns out to be the most expensive fruit juice I ever bought in my life) and went to the renowned K-Pop shop in Berjaya Times Square, MyStar. As expected, there were lots of JYJ goodies. I bought 2 name tags; Kim Jaejoong and Shim Changmin(for Maya unnie), TVXQ handphone strap, Jaejoong keychain and AKTF wrist band for RM48. After going OMGs at the goodies, we went to Old Town Coffee for lunch. Jas, Reyna and Swezin unnie had light foods like fried dumpling and dumpling soup while Jac and I had some serious lunch such as Curry Noodles and Egg Noodles Soup. As for Jo, she ate ‘breakfast’ which is egg toasts with kaya. That’s when Jo gave us the presents to compensate the lost prezzies that she sent through Pos Malaysia when we met up last June. I really felt like it’s Christmas already because I’m receiving presents! LOL.

When dreams come true~

Dreams are something perceived as wonderful or perfect. Let me tell you that certain dream when they come true, they are simply beyond wonder~ and that includes my once in a lifetime opportunity to see the individuals that I love dearly and the journey that made it possible.

I had tried my best to put my feelings that I went last Sunday in words since I’m not very good with words. But apologies to my readers because my fan account gonna be long since I’m including every single thing I did on 17th October 2010. I’m the type of person who wants to keep record of meaningful things that happened to me so I can recall it whenever I want it. So there’s gonna be 2 parts.

Part 1 - Journey from Perak and mini Cassiopeia meet up

Part 2 - The show of a lifetime and bidding the boys a temporary goodbye.

Randomness Overload~

Too many mistakes in a short span of time can make us feel miserable about our beautiful life. But doesn’t that mean we actually forgot those beautiful moments in our life in the same period of time?

The best years in my life were since 2004 till 2008. Right after I stepped out of my school with my SPM results in my hand back in March 2009, I felt an urge to return to this school and continue my studies. That is why probably I chose Form Six as an option. After almost a year, I deeply regret my decision. Maybe Form Six is way too much for me or simply, I slacked off a lot. And it is a shame that all these realizations hit me after I ended my friendship with my bestie. Like usual, she guided me indirectly. Nowadays, I tried my best to study and work on subjects I’m weak such as Mathematics and Chemistry. All I’m hoping for is to pass all four papers to show that I’m not stupid. Full stop.

I’m not a studious girl. I spent most of my high school years by goofing around and still managed to secure second top student in the class. And I still believe that was possible because my teachers rocks in the class and I’m the type of person who depends on classroom lessons. There are few Form Six teachers that I wish to teach me in these 1 ½ year. Sir Lim just rocks when it comes to Mathematics. Although I barely passed my Additional Mathematics when he taught me back in Form 5, his lessons were understand-able by me. But now, I can’t even understand what is on the white board and Math-ing in home is just as hard. Sir Iskandar knows what his job. He entered the class, scribbled various equations in coloured marker pens and explains in detail. His English is good and I can understand what he’s trying to tell us. Now, the readers might already know what my current Chemistry teacher’s problem is. Biology lessons are sleep-causing but recently with God’s grace, I found it way more interesting than Mathematics. General Studies or rather known as Pengajian Am is uncomment-able lesson. What I should expect to learn from a teacher who is tired to climb only 4 flights of stairs and sulks at our actions? Fine. As a teacher, she should be able to control the class instead of complaining that huge number of students in the class in the reason of her mood swing. Also, she really should stop expecting us to answer exactly what is on her mind. After all circumstances, I will believe that God had shed some miracle over me if I pass all four papers. For a person like me, it’s really hard when classroom turned into hell. Nonetheless, I love every single teacher in my school.

If school has not give me enough trouble to deal with, my aunt adds up to it. Why everyone love to see Nanthini suffer? Why on earth watching Tamil show doesn’t bring any harm to my studies but watching a Korean show does? I just can’t understand the way she thinks. All she expects from me now is stay away from television and study my ass off for just another 2 months. Wouldn’t I die if I keep staring at books with no relaxation? But I did sacrifice a few Korean shows just for her.

Deepavali and my birthday is just less than a month away. And along the course is my so-called graduation under the name of Farewell Party for Form Five and Six students on 30th October. I still believe that there is a hidden wonder behind my birthday falling on Deepavali and STPM starts on 23rd November (2+3=5 is my lucky number ^_^) Hope everything goes just the way I hope.

P/S: Do you believe in Karma? Because I do believe it now. Seeing those individuals that hurt me is now suffering for certain reasons. You can call me devil for finding happiness in other’s pain but hey, even my Biology teacher said that not all of us are 100% saint.

Dilemma for a STPM student who wants to be a full-time fangirl for a day~

Mind is filled with various plans for JYJ New Album Showcase Tour 2010 Live In Malaysia. I need to have at least RM500 for the ticket and expenses. Adding to that, I still have to convince my parents and plan my journey to the capital city.

Reasons for why I SHOULD NOT go

- I have important exam in November and have lots of revision to be done in such a short time.

- My parents (especially my dad) feel that this addiction will distract me from my studies.

- The very next day (October 17th), there is a prayer for my grandfather and MOST of my relatives will be here,in Kampar -.-;;

- I have to travel alone all the way from Kampar to Midvalley Convention Center which I'm a bit afraid to do so.

Reasons for why I DESPERATELY wants to go

- It's Jaejoong,Yoochun and Junsu that we are expecting to see! Although I wish the other two will be here as well.

- JYJ's (Jaejoong,Yoochun,Junsu) activities are halted in Japan so there's a high possibility that they won't be able to make it on December or anytime later than now.

- Wanna experience the fangirling with thousands of my 'species'~
LOL

Dear Ambition

Going to change my blogging style. Shall start a post with a question and answers it based on my personal opinion. My followers can share their views as well.


Question : What inspires your ambition and how far can you go to achieve it?


Ambition is vital in order to be on the right track in your life. Some people like to plan everything in their life and some being completely vice versa by living the life as it is. I like to plan most of the things in my life such a reunion gathering or future plans. I’m not the one you expect to say “Let’s see how my results turn out to decide my future study plan.” Instead, I would tell them you that I wanna be a Forensic Scientist specialized in homicide field. Most people wowed at my answer and some of them might even think whether I have what it takes to be one.

Ever heard of famous American crime-solving TV series, Crime Scene Investigation or known as CSI? That’s what triggers my passion to study Forensic Science. When I was in elementary school, I used to read the famous Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew series of detection novels. I watched my first ever CSI episode when I was 14. Detection based series or novels or even comics like Detective Conan are just what I need to spend my time. Between detective and criminologist, I always have this feeling that detectives live a secret life and earn money only when someone assigns them for solving cases. So that’s what inspires my ambition.

After sat for PMR back in 2006, I browsed the Internet to find more relevant information regarding forensic science and once I came across an article that says good knowledge in Chemistry is essential for it. I was very diligent back then till I actually studied first few chapters in Form 4 Chemistry textbook. I kept telling myself that I need to master Chemistry in order to achieve my dream of being a forensic scientist. I was more disappointed for scrapping a B3 in Chemistry rather than my ‘almost-fail’ Additional Mathematics. But Chemistry in Form 6 was way harder than I ever imagined it will be. There’s a huge difference between Form 5 and Form 6 syllabus and so far, I did a bad job in maintaining my progress in that subject. Dear Chemistry, do you know that I love you so much? Just stay in my brain for a longer period lah! For me, public universities are the safest and cheapest way to do your postgraduate courses compared to the private ones. I had seen a few friends of me who are studying in private colleges with big financial problems. So in Malaysia, University Sains Malaysia (USM) offers the postgraduate for Forensic Science course and I believe it would be great to study in USM with all the great facilities offered by them. Two days ago, I looked up for Forensic Science course requirement (again!) in USM. It is stated that I need a minimum of 3.00 GPA overall. And I have the confident that I can score it if I put enough effort in my studies. What I want is the feeling of accomplishment that I had worked every possible way to achieve my ambition rather than give up without trying at least once. To me, it is planning your own failure. So what if I don’t make it as I wanted it to be? I will be happy enough to choose another career prospect that allows me make a great deal of money.

Rambling


Listening to TVXQ’s , I’m thinking what should I scribble about this time. My blog deserves sympathy for its poor maintenance. I’m not good with words to describe my feelings so I don’t choose blogging as the best idea for me to vent out my current problems. I’m on 2 weeks holidays and the first week was spent by going to temple in my neighbourhood as there’s the annual festival that went on for 10 consecutive days. After a certain incident back in 2008, I had lost my faith in God therefore I did not do much praying last 2 years. But something struck me recently. If God was being unfair to me, then He is nothing compared to my certain friend. I did not change to 24/7 religious girl yet. But I believe I’m still doing the right thing. Respect the God just as you respect your parents. Enough said.

TVXQ, I miss them so much. Again, there’s no exact word to describe how much I miss them at the moment but still it’s the only phrase I can come up with. They are going through so much hardships and seeing some people commentating on their looks and styles but not their talent and attitude is a sad thing. I can only smile at their weird way of describing pretty looking boys. Is there any rule that says males can’t be pretty? If being pretty for a guy is called gay, then an ugly girl should be called transsexuals? Mind you, not all girls are pretty. Beauty is a gift from the God and that applies to both genders. I prefer what’s beneath the skin rather than flawless of a person. And TVXQ is just lucky to have both looks and talents. Enough said.

I have to mention TVXQ again. Simply because they means a lot to me. You might be wondering 1) How an Indian girl can be so addicted to Korean boys that she never met before nor understands their language? 2) What is about this DongBang boys that can make her thinks about them all the time? It is simple. TVXQ just rocks. They sing and dance well. They have good manners and attitude. And not to forget their great humour sense. They appear so pure and genuine to me until their sad faces can make me cry. Thanks to them, I’m crying more nowadays. It takes time to understand the great feeling of being a Cassiopeia (TVXQ’s fans). Have to admit that a minority out of the world’s largest fanbase of an artist can be really crazy and absurd sometimes but overall Cassiopeia just rocks. And wanna know the power of TVXQ? Just count their fans. Korean fans (Cassiopeias) are nearly 800,000 and that does not even count the unregistered fans, Japanese fans (Bigeasts) and International fans like me. I’m proud to be a fan of theirs because they are awesome ^^ Enough said.


By the way, JaejoongYoochunJunsu version of SungKyunKwan Scandal's OST. Finally the full version is released after so much of chaos. Hearing the three of them singing in their mother tongue after being in J-pop for so long is great ^^

Happiness comes in many ways

I must admit that I'm not a blog person. But somehow I had the urge to scribble something about my 2 weeks school holidays.

1. Never touch your books in holidays.

Holidays are the days that you ought to spend by playing random computer games,listening to songs,watching movies or simply relaxing by chatting with your siblings. Most parents have the "my child is not studying for her exam" thought when we avoid the books and I'm saying this based on my own experience. I was tired both mentally and physically after fought myself for Orientation week for Lower 6, Teacher's Day celebration and EXAMS!!! All I was looking forward for is the 2 weeks holidays and my dad nagged about me not studying =.=ll

2. Fun...Fun....And More Fun...
When you are in your late teens, you have to try a few things without getting your parents involved. And I did something with my friends~ We planned to bake pizzas in my house and went for shopping in Tesco. Even had a great time of splashing water at each other in Batu Berangkai falls. For me,these experiences were terrific! Because I always spend my time with my family or alone in the house. To be with a few of your close friends and do shopping is damn nice~ We were looking at things and said "Look! my mum cooks curry using this. what this is called in Chinese huh?" LOL....I do feel bad for the only boy (Mok Kwan Hoe) to be with us in Tesco. Pizza turned out to be err...half disaster and half delicious. But that experience is knowledge,right?

3. Family

Some people don't prefer to stay at home. Maybe thinks it's boring. especially when all you have to do is studying =.=ll I love chatting with my sisters and brother-in-law. That's why I had a great time in Puchong. (where my married sister is now living) My 4 year old niece takes a 'good' care of me XP she never leave my side even when she goes to bed. ^_^ i told my sister about the pizza and she made one for me. this time it was wayyyyyy better than what i did =.=ll

(to be continued...)

Denial...I'm keep living in denial...

I really hate to say this but the title really explains how am I actually living on this face of Earth. I'M LIVING IN COMPLETE DENIAL. So what brought me to this realization?? Hmm..the story goes like this.

Yes, it's about Jae'l Break..

For those who don't what is Jae'l Break, it's a game organized by Shades of Jae'd:The International Forum for Kim Jaejoong which is basically hunt for the lost Jaejoong by answering the questions in different DBSK online community...Ever since I knew about the game, i was excited..i love any riddle-related games..so pre-registered and waited anxiously for 1st March..

The first version of the game begun on 1st March and we were going in a smooth but hectic in someways path..so the Jae'l Break crew decided to restart the game with a more organized gameplay..and they came up with a 4 round of Jae'l break...Basically, you need to answer 7 DBSK-related questions by MAILING the answers to the guards (those who checks the answers)...

1st and 2nd round was success...Before the 3rd round begin, they announced that they will accept the FIRST 45 players who made it to 4th round...and guess what, the game begin as usual in the midnight..so i ditched my books away and stay alert even an hour before 12am...but the clue was late and it wasn't late by few minutes but AN HOUR! i knew this is a bad sign to begin the round with coz some players already have the clue and they started playing the game before i do...once i received the clue, i did what i should and answered like 15 mins later..and the reply for my answer took 2 HOURS! I had waited until 3am for the reply only saying that my answers are wrong and by that time, there are some players who already at the 4th question..but i answered the first 2 questions and went to bed at 4.30am...

Checked back my inbox at 11am + and saw that my answer was wrong..so i resend it with the correct answer..and this time the reply was much more faster..so i moved on until 5th question, where i sent my answers and decided to take a bath since it's near 5 then...but before i sign out, i noticed an announcement on the site's homepage..."We have chose the 45 players who made it to the next round" i was devastated! completely!

dang! i don't why i cried when i saw '45 players had been chosen' on SoJ home..

I don't why i cry 'teresak-esak' like a kid every time i think about my failure to make it to round 3...

and i don't why, i get teary now as i type this message..

i thought i still stand a chance although the replies for my email were super late...
and finally, what i had dreaded for had happened...i know late replies in this game can affect the player's chance to win this game..you know what, i got the JJ clue at 1am, answered it right away and got my mail at 3am...imagine, i had waited 2hours just to not make it to 3rd round..

what was heartbreaking is that i was still waiting for the reply from 5th Hotspot when i saw the notice in SoJ...

i dun care i lose but Jae'l Break is different..I knew very well that i stand a chance to qualify to 4th round but circumstances made me fail...i just wanna make it to top 10 or even in the finals...i dunno whether it worth my tears or not..but i don't have control even over my tears at the moment...i saw Kyra (the forum's admin) was quite upset with a player's comment in Player's Feedback..i dunno wanna ruin the good term that i had with the admins and mods because i didn't make the cut..

anyway, thanks for listening to my rambling^^

Malacca-ka

*Why Malacca-ka? Hmm...You should ask my 3 years old niece~

Day 1 (Saturday, 13/2/10)

I packed my things. Yes, I ALWAYS do last minute preparations. The train was at 1.30pm so it gaves me extra time for being lazy.

1.30PM --> Travelling in second class of KTMB. A malay boy whom I guess is younger than me (He called me 'akak' so yeah, he younger than me) sits besides me. He was sleeping throughout the journey. Fortunately he told me that he is getting down in Sg.Buloh (I'm getting down there as well) before dozing off again. I opened my Biology book and read for 30 minutes before DNAs and RNAs start swarming in my head. So closed the book and decided to snooze.

3.15PM --> Reached Sg.Buloh and hopped into my brother-in-law's car and thus, my three days of vacation begun. We were chit-chatting all the way along.

Unknown time --> Time passes quickly. Before we finish talking (We,sisters talk A LOT), we had reached Malacca. My brother-in-law who once studied in Kolej Yayasan Melaka showed us some places. We stopped at Hospital of Malacca for my sister's penpal friend came to guide us to the motel.

6++PM --> Arrived at Bukit Serindit Motel. A nice and welcoming motel next to a GRAVEYARD!!! Okay, that part wasn't welcoming. We checked in and Gobi (my sis's penpal friend) asked us to get some rest and take a bath before he come and fetch us at 7.30PM for dinner. So we were lying on the bed and expressing the coolness of the motel and the eeriness of the graveyard. Then one by one, we had our bath and get ready.

7.30PM --> Gobi came and we left to 'somewhere' (I don't know the place's name but it's situated near the Sg.Melaka and kinda like the heart of Malacca) We enjoyed the view of Christ Church in the night and colourful trishaws. We hit the Jonker Street which is kinda like night market in Kampar but it's more merrier. Adding up the normal atmosphere is the fact that it is Chinese New Year Eve. I saw loads of foreigners and they were having fun in their own way. I bought 2 pairs of wooden chopsticks for my friend,Theng and myself.

10PM--> We went to 'mamak' shop for dinner + supper. Ordered chicken murtabak and it tastes good~ Enjoyed the nighty air of Malacca as eating the food.

11PM--> Went back to motel and a FROZEN night. I should have keep the remote control for air-conditioner.

DAY 2 (Sunday, 14/2/10)

It's Valentine + Chinese New Year~

9AM--> Woke up and chit chatted as lying on the bed. Had our showers and left for breakfast again, in a mamak shop. The owner was sweet and the waiters are fast-working and nice to the customers. Enjoyed our breakfast in the roadside located shop.

10AM++ --> Went to Kota A'Famosa. A must-not-missed tourist attraction in Malacca. First, we entered the museum (I think it IS a museum). I always enjoy looking at history-related thingy, so i was the only one who enjoyed the visit. (The others just wanna be in an air-conditioned room =.=") Then, continue our journey to the famous fort. It was hot like hell and all I want is to go up there ASAP and get down ASAP. And I did that.

2PM ++ --> Had 'ais kacang' in a roadside-situated stall. It was quite refreshing after that HOT trip. Continue our journey to Dataran Pahlawan where the aunties (My mom and sister) did most of their shopping.

4PM --> Had chicken porridge for lunch + tea break in McD.

5.30PM --> Went back to the motel and decided to take a very very short nap. Woke up at

6.30PM and rushed to get ready for dinner in Gobi's house.

7.15PM --> Gobi brought us to his house. Introduced us to his family and his soon-to-be wife. There was a small birthday celebration for Gobi's brother who turned 20 the day before (13/2/10)

8.30PM --> Mom,sister,Gobi and his fiancee hit the Jonker Street this time. My brother-in-law, my niece, my second eldest sister and me stayed at the Christ Church. Waited for them until 11.30PM.

11.30PM--> Weird desire~Wanna go to the seaside NEAR MIDNIGHT! But Gobi still brought us there and I sat on the stones, watching few boats and ships on Straits of Malacca. The busiest and high risk of getting robbed by Johnny Depp (yeah,the pirates) strait in the world. We left the spot and went to took a glimpse of Eye On Malaysia in a closer view.

12AM ++ --> Had supper (steambuns and Milo ice) in a shop in Kota Laksamana. Enjoyed the night breeze and left to the motel.

DAY 3 (15/2/10)

Nothing much other than packing up our things and visiting an old friend of my bro-in-law. We reached Kl around 5.30PM. That's it. Vacation is over T_T
