JYJ + HoMin = TVXQ like forever?

Do you think I belong to the JYJ or HoMin stan? If you are reading this post, you ought to reply by telling me your guess.

Maybe I sound like I’m a JYJ-lover and anti-HoMin~ In my 3 years in this fandom, all I know is how to love ALL five of them. I know this is quite unfortunate for us to see them to be in this 2:3 ratio. But it’s not hard to love them as we used to. I don’t see a reason why we really need to choose a side. The only one we need to blame is that f***ing SME for causing this situation and not the boys.

I still remember when one of my fandom friends told me that she blames the boys for causing the fans torn apart between HoMin and JYJ~ I didn’t say anything as I sealed my mouth to prevent any argument erupts between us. I know the fans are in much pain but the pain that ALL five of them carries with them now is nothing compared to us. That’s why I respect them.

You know, it’s like you are complaining that your legs ache after a long walk and then you meet someone with amputated legs. Your pain is nothing compared to them who lost the chance to walk. Ok, that’s a weird example but you get my point, right?

I know how it feels to be isolated. Probably that’s why I want as much as support HoMin can get because JYJ already get attention from all the corner of the globe with their English-language album, The Beginning album. But poor HoMin who were restrained in singing for almost 2 years. That’s longer than their hiatus for Mirotic. So I kinda understand when Changmin said that he don’t want to be a singer in his next life~

If you wanna know whether I had picked a side or not, well this is my answer.

“I can never have a thought about JYJ without involving HoMin and vice versa. Therefore if I’m forced to choose a side then I’m willing to leave the fandom without a regret"

[Oneshot] Wish

Author’s note: The plot just popped out in my head from nowhere. Purely my imagination on how they will celebrate Jaejoong’s birthday.

WISH by anthra_JJ

Yunho flips through the cooking book. Obviously cooking is not his forte. “What the heck is baking soda?” Yunho scratches his head. He picks up his smart phone and type “baking soda” in the search bar. Related images and sites pop out. “Ah, BAKING SODA!” Yunho exclaimed when he realizes that he had seen the white powder in a small bottle before when he did shopping in supermarkets. “But I didn’t buy it. Haiz,” Yunho sighs. How he’s gonna bake a cake without baking soda. Yunho go through his contact list and stopped at a certain name. He touched the dial icon and waits.

“Ne,hyung” deep voice answered the call.
“Changmin-ah, help me”
“Call me…” “Changmin HYUNG, jebal~” chuckles were heard on the other side.
“What is it that hyung wants so desperately?”
“Baking soda? Could you buy it on your way home. ASAP,”
“Mweo? Haiz~ araseo,” Changmin answered in annoyance and hung up the call.

Yunho slides his phone back into his pocket and sigh in relieve. He looked at the cooking book and a wide grin appears on his face.

Jaejoongie, saengil chukahae~

*********************************************************************************************************************
“Ahjumma, do you have baking soda here?” Changmin asks the shop owner. It’s a small shop in a less crowded area of Seoul so there’s no need for him to wear a mask. “Of course. Let me get it for you, son.” “Kamsahamnida,” Changmin bows slightly. He looks around the shop and something got his eyes. A small cactus plant on the window sill.

30 minutes later…

Changmin opens the door to find Yunho lying on the couch while watching TV.

“Oh wasseo?” Yunho rose after saw Changmin enters the apartment.
“20000 won,please” Changmin said as he takes off his shoes.
“Mweorageo? A small bottle of baking soda won’t cost that much, Shim Changmin!”
“Baking soda was only 2000 won,” Changmin hands over the small plastic bag to Yunho. “What’s in it?” Yunho asked, pointing at another bag that Changmin was holding.
“I need some snacks since I had walked all the way to a small store, waited for the ahjumma to ransack the whole store for the thing when it’s just beside the cashier’s desk, walked back to our headquarters and then was brought to our apartment by our manager,”

Yunho let a deep sigh. He knows very well that he have to pay for the snacks as well because if he didn’t, then the maknae won’t help him again. Yunho take out few notes and hand it to Changmin. “Here you go. Enjoy your snack time,” Yunho said with discontentment. Changmin just smiled and walks to his room.

Changmin place the bag on his desk and takes out the things one by one. Instant ramen, sweets, rice cakes and a small plastic box. Inside the box is a small cactus plant.

Jaejoong hyung, saengil chukahae~

*********************************************************************************************************************

“Hyung,” Junsu breaks the silence. Tonight, the apartment is quite eerily silent compared to many nights that they had spent together in the very same living space.
“Which hyung,Junsu-yah? Remember I’m your hyung too,” Yoochun said and smirks at Junsu. “I will never call you ‘hyung’, Yoochunnie. Well maybe in your dreams, yes.” Junsu answers and throws the cushion he was holding at Yoochun.

“Guys,please. Let me be in peace while waiting for the clock to strike 12,” Jaejoong said and looked at the clock on the wall. 3 more minutes.

“Any ideas on how the fans will celebrate Jaejoong hyung’s birthday?” Yoochun continue having a conversation with Junsu, ignoring the older guy who is resting his head against the black leather couch with eyes closed.

“Cut cakes maybe? Or make cards for him? I don’t know,” Junsu answers Yoochun’s question without even looking at him. He rolls the papers in his hands and murmurs something that was barely could reach Yoochun’s eardrum.

“Junsu-yah, put your rehearsing for your musical on hold. Just for tonight. We have things to do,” Yoochun remarks on Junsu’s lack of attention on their conversation.

“I think the fans would do something techie such as updating their Cyworld or homepage with birthday wishes for Jaejoong. And Twitter! They can trend something like hash tag happybirthdayjejung,” Yoochun came up with some ideas.

“They will do that?”

The clock strikes 12 am and as spontaneously, both Yoochun and Junsu jumps on Jaejoong, giving him a combined beastly hug.

“Saengil chukahae,hyung!”

“Happy Birthday,man!”

“Enough with your English and bring out the cake,Junsu” Yoochun orders Junsu. Jaejoong only smiles at their acts. He knew very well that both of them trying not to let him feeling blue on his birthday. But how could he’s not sad when he can sense the utmost absence around him. Jaejoong wants not 4 arms but 8 arms snake him while wishing “Happy Birthday”.

Junsu mumbles something and slaps Jaejoong’s cheeks gently before walking into the kitchen. Minutes later he’s return with a small chocolate cake with candles lit on. After Junsu placed the cake on the coffee table, Jaejoong can see clearly the arrangement of the candles. There are five candles and placed in a form of ‘W’.

“Make a wish,hyung. Better be a good one. Like “I wish Junsu to have a girlfriend this yea” Eun Kyang Kyang~” Junsu cracks his legendary laughter. “Such a selfish kid,” Yoochun comments on Junsu’s wish.

Junsu and Yoochun knew what Jaejoong will wish for. It would be the same wish that he keep wishing in the past 2 years. They tried so hard to uplift Jaejoong’s mood but seems like Jaejoong already forgot how to celebrate birthday cheerfully. Maybe Jaejoong will when the day that all three of them expecting arrives.

Jaejoong looks at the cake and warm tears formed at lower fold of his eyelid. He closes his eyes immediately and makes a wish.

I wish the other two are with me now~

*********************************************************************************************************************

Changmin stares at the cake with lust. He constantly licks his dry lips. Changmin wants to savour the chocolate cake that is decorated with thinly sliced almonds and strawberries but deep inside him, a fear revolves within the poor soul.

Can Shim Changmin trust his leader’s cooking skills?

“Haiz,” Changmin sighs and drops his head on the table. Yunho paused the game he was playing in his handphone and looks up at Changmin. “Wae geurae?”

“Hyung, did you follow the instructions precisely? I mean, there’s no room for errors like using salt instead of sugar,right?”

“Come on,Changmin. Although I’m a bad cook, I knew that this cake is meaningful for both of us,”

Changmin nods slowly and continue staring at cake. “1 more minute,” Yunho said as an alarm goes off in his phone. Yunho lets out a deep breath and lights the candles. There are five candles and carefully placed to form a “W”.

The clock strikes 12 and Changmin and Yunho looks at each other. Soft murmurs of “Saengil Chukahae,Jaejoongie,” and “Saengil Chukahae,hyung” were heard. All of a sudden, gust of wind from the nearby open window blows the candles off.

We wish the other three are with us now~

[Trans] The reason for SM’s all-out attack on JYJ

Editor’s note: This is a translation of an opinion piece written by a Korean fan

The reason for SM’s all-out attack on JYJ is in essence due to it being gripped by a sense of crisis.

Watching the way SM’s contracted singers are coming out one by one to bash JYJ has only confirmed for me that [SM] is feeling cornered.

First of all, SM has been shaken by the success of JYJ’s solo activities in musicals and dramas after the filing of the lawsuit.

Secondly, through the showcases in Asia and 3 American cities held in the latter half of last year as well as the Seoul concert of November 27-28, SM was able to confirm JYJ’s hidden potential and star quality, and this has put them into a greater sense of crisis.

Thirdly, it is impossible to ignore the influence of JYJ’s growing fandom, which, in increasing the group’s selling power, threatens to interfere with SM’s market share and profits.

Fourthly, and this is perhaps the most fundamental of all the reasons, [SM’s] moral standing and justification is crumbling. After the decision of the Fair Trade Commission, SM doesn’t see any possibility of winning the court case. Like this, because they have lost their moral standing, their image will be tarnished and they face losing not only money but also their position in the market; hence the continuous and unending attacks [on JYJ].

Their strategic response stands on a single logic, that of ungratefulness and betrayal [on the part of JYJ], because this is the best that SM, which claims to be a company like a family, can come up with. But this is not logic but a ploy to stir people’s emotions and divert attention away from questions of human and labour rights by getting JYJ labelled as depraved and immoral. It appears that SM is determined to fight back with every dirty trick they know, knowing full well that they too will be splotched with dung at the end of it.

It looks like that’s how frightened [SM] is of JYJ and their fandom. While it is true that so far [SM] is pushing its contracted singers that can sway the public mood to the foreground and in the background mobilising the resources of the KFPCAI, TV stations and other organisations, it could reach a point where the managers of SM get directly involved…

However, what is the real face of it all?

Anyone who’s had even a modicum of experience in society or the workplace knows that ‘the logic of the company as family’ is nothing more than a smokescreen logic to suppress and exploit workers. Naturally, there are admirable businessmen who do all they can to create a family-like atmosphere in their companies. Yet, there isn’t a single worker who can’t tell the difference between a genuine family-like company and a fake one.

This fight, eventually JYJ will win.

Because they have moral legitimacy, courage and dreams, as well as a fandom that believes and supports them. Loving someone is no different from protecting that person, as the saying goes. What it means for us to protect the courageous and still dreaming JYJ is for us all to cheer them on and give them our full, most enthusiastic support. I too am planning to cheer them on and give them strength with all that I have. It’s true this could be a long-term commitment in a long fight. So, everyone, let’s go strong!

A Word of Encouragement to the International DBSK Fandom

Submitted by: Jimmie

“The compass needle that wavers is never wrong.”
(Sungkyunkwan Scandal/Islamic proverb)

By now everyone and their nanny has read some version of the AkaDong fan café’s public announcement and has heard that three other Korean fan cafés have made the same decision.


According to the AkaDong public announcement, the majority of Korean fan clubs went through an identity crisis around the time SM announced that Jung Yunho and Shim Changmin would be making a comeback carrying the name Dong Bang Shin Ki. That crisis has been largely resolved. What we are witnessing right now in Korea—the online bashing, the hacking of pro-JYJ fan sites, the irrational tantrum thrown by the DJ of MBC’s Radio Star—is simply the consequences of those decisions. The dust has settled, more or less. People are simply showing their true colours in the aftermath.


But, in announcing the resolution to that crisis, the unfortunate side effect has been to throw the international fanbase into the very identity crisis that was announced resolved. Of course, there are also many in the international fandom who had already reached their decision long before the announcements made by the Korean fan cafés. They too are now showing their true colours, sometimes rather ugly shades of it by intentionally spreading false or distorted information. The buffet of confirmation bias has officially opened and people are happily pigging out. This post is not interested in such gluttons.


This post is for the international fans that cherish memories of all five as Dong Bang Shin Ki, that can’t allocate more love for one member over another and vowed to support all five, that continue to believe against all odds that DBSK will stand as five again on the same stage. This piece of my mind and heart is for international fans who must be feeling overwhelming pressure right now in light of the decisions made by the Korean fandom to choose one side or the other, who are trying with all their might to refuse to even consider making such a decision or, if brought to the brink, can’t choose which side to go to. Although you may feel with each passing day pushed and pulled and prodded to go over to one side or the other, I cheer on your indecision.


It’s OK if you don’t think it’s right to pass judgment on Yunho and Changmin before hearing from their own mouths what they think in a setting free of SM’s influence. It’s OK to hang out on both JYJ and Homin blogs. It’s OK to feel conflicted about trending KYHD. And it’s OK to waver on the decision to buy the new TVXQ album or not. If all the hesitation, conflict and indecision are the result of a compassionate respect for each member of the original Dong Bang Shin Ki, then whatever decision you do end up making will be the right one.


Until the day he dies, Jaejoong’s flesh will testify, Accuse no man. JYJ have repeatedly stated in several interviews that they desire a reunion with the other two members, even if it means negotiating with SM. They themselves are finding it hard to let go entirely. So who has the right to belittle your inability to decide as a lack of intelligence or respect? In fact, I earnestly hope that one day history will show that you were the ones who were right all along.

[Recommendation] Fanfic : Already One Year

This is a fic written by my lovely Somnian friend, Farayas ^_^ she rocks when it comes to writing and PS. This one-shot is something that make us happy and teary by the way she portrays the characters and their longing for each other. so here you go~

Title: Already One Year
Author: kashiji @farayas
Rating: PG-13
Pairing(s): None
Warning: There is swearing in this story.
Genre: General, Angst
Length: Oneshot
Summary: As everyone counted down to the end of Christmas day, five men counted down to a new beginning.

Author's note: Got the idea for this story from a friend's tweet (I hope you know who you are) and the latest interviews the boys have done. Please don't pay much attention to the tenses. I know they're a mess.

Disclaimer: If I owned DBSK, I wouldn't be alive to write this.



-------------------------------------------------------------------


[Set to “Already One Year” by Brown Eyes]

“Earlier today, TVXQ / DBSK / Tohoshinki got together on stage to hold a concert at the Hongkou Soccer Stadium in Shanghai, China. Despite the turmoil, rumors of breakup, and lawsuit with SM Entertainment, the boys got together and put on a great show for the more than 30,000 fans in attendance.

According to fan accounts, TVXQ’s leader Yunho said: “The five of us will never part!” Even though the concert was held in China, this lead the crowd to chant “믿어요! 동방신기 사랑해” which translates to “Believe! We Love Dong Bang Shin Ki.” Jaejoong, and Micky were both seen crying around this time as well. There’s also a report that all 5 cried together at the end.”

It’s been more than a year since that day in Shanghai and the banners that they had held up for the five of them were still vividly engrained into his memory. He remembers how all of them felt, how everything was just so bittersweet.

“Hyung, I’m going out for a while. Will you be okay?” Changmin says quietly from the mouth of his bedroom door, his appearance rather solemn.

“Go ahead. I’ll be fine, Changmin-ah…” Yunho replies curtly.

Yunho hears the front door open and shut as Changmin leaves into the night. He stares blankly at the computer screen, a weary expression marking his face. The dull glow of the screen flickers in the darkness as he gets lost in his own thoughts. How did he even think that it was possible? They haven’t talked to each other in almost a year now and yet, he promised the fans that they’d never part?

Such lies, they all were. The past year has been a mess to say the least. He had never been so free in his entire life. He thought he would love the rest but…this feeling, this situation… It was something totally different than anything he’d ever experienced. Ironically, he never guessed that he’d actually miss the hustle and bustle that used to accompany the festive season. For once, he’d basically spent Christmas at home instead of on a plane.

A lone Christmas tree sat in the corner of their living room with barely any presents under it. He forgot that presents used to be Jaejoong’s thing so this year neither he nor Changmin bothered with it all. What was the point of it anyway? Neither of them were truly happy with everything right now.

Yunho sighs as he looks at the clock as it strikes twelve. Raising his wine glass in a toast to no one in particular, he whispers…

“Hana, deul, seh… Dong Bang Shin Ki imnida. Happy anniversary. I miss you guys so much.”

-------------------------------------------------------------------

“Honesty is honestly
The hardest thing for me right now
While the floors underneath our feet
Are crumbling, the walls we built together tumbling
I still stand here holding up the roof
Cause it's easier than telling the truth”

Changmin smirks at the lyrics of the song on the radio. Honesty is always the best policy so what are they even thinking about in this song?

“But if that were true Changmin, then why do you never seem to be honest about your own feelings? Why are you here, driving alone in the middle of the night? Where are you going?” A quiet voice points out to him.

He hated his demons for being what they were. The inner Changmin was so annoying sometimes.

This past year, he had fully thrown himself into individual activities. Acting, modelling, dancing and English lessons filled up the hours in the day while 4 to 5 nights at the gym kept his mind preoccupied. He had become a hermit as he slowly but surely reduced his time with the outside world. It was something he knew his fans would surely miss. Heck, he even read their complaints as he randomly looked through fansites occasionally. He just couldn’t face them. This was his way to avoid having to lie to the people who loved him so dearly. Even in interviews for the Japanese magazines, he’d always made sure to answer cryptically so that probably some fans could get what he was trying to say without having to actually say it.

Changmin’s car expertly weaves through the streets of Seoul as he heads for that one spot at the Han River. One spot he knew was still secluded enough to be unknown to the sasaengs. He needed his thinking time again. Seeing Yunho so depressed before just made everything worse.

Once he arrives at his destination, Changmin parks the car and just sits in his seat, staring out into the black night. It was cold outside but his heart was colder. The silence was what he really needed to calm his nerves.

It was now 3am and for some reason, Radio 21 was blasting from his stereo. The lyrics of Chajatta filled the inner cavity of the car and it made him furious. He switches off the radio as he leaves his car, stomping over to the river bank. He takes a deep breath and shouts at the top of his lungs.

“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Fuck you guys for leaving us! Fuck you for making everything messed up. Fuck you for…just fuck. I fucking hate you!!”

White puffs of air leaves him as his heavy breath mingles with the cold winter night. He didn’t mean what he said…then again, maybe he did? He never swore but all the things that were crappy in his life right now were too much for him to handle. He hated not being in control, not knowing what was ahead. He was tired, even though he should be happy that he’d be on stage once again. But it wasn’t the same.

He returns to his car and opens a can of beer. Another thoughtful look graces his handsome features as he realizes that he still feels the same about his three hyungs.

“I still hate you. Happy anniversary.” He mutters as he downs his can of beer alone.

“Correction. You only hate them because you miss them like hell.”

Like he said before, inner Changmin is very annoying at times.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

“Jaejoong hyung… Your tree is so empty. Aside from the decorations, there’s pretty much nothing else. Where are the presents?” Junsu points out to the elder man.

Jaejoong shrugs at the question, as if it was nothing new. “Hmmm… Honestly, I didn’t know what to get. Besides, what’s the point? I live here alone, with Jiji. And that prince gets more presents than I do these days.”

“That is true. That’s why I told you to bring the food and leave Jiji behind.” Yoochun says cheekily.

“Do you have a death wish or something Yoochunnie?” The elder man’s glare bores into the side of Yoochun’s face as the younger one looks to Junsu for help.

“Don’t look at me.” Junsu puts his hands up defensively.

The room is suddenly quiet as each of them fall into silence. Jaejoong, Yoochun and Junsu. JYJ. It just wasn’t the same.

“I miss Yunho and Changmin. I miss my servant.” Junsu thinks aloud, his hand absentmindedly swirling the glass of orange juice. “Orenji Junsu,” he adds quietly.

“Thanks for pointing that out, Captain Obvious. Without your superb observational skills, we would have never realised it…” Yoochun sends a dead-panned stare to Junsu’s way.

“You sound like that brat maknae.” Says Junsu as he scrunches his nose in distaste.

“Yah~ Play nice. We all miss them, don’t we? Yunho and the maknae. I wonder what they’re doing right now?” Jaejoong smiles bitterly.

“Probably out drinking with the staff, like we are.” Yoochun adds in simply.

“We could hardly be called as such, Yoochunnie.” Jaejoong interjected.

The apartment was empty apart from the four warm bodies that filled it, three humans and one prince. Christmas was quiet this year, unlike any of their previous ones. Out of all the paths they had chosen, this was definitely the hardest. But they had no time to regret it or even to look back. All they could do is to keep on moving forward into the unknown future. They truly believe that things will work out in the end.

“Assa! Let’s make a toast. To the future!” Yoochun holds up his glass of soju and motions to the other two.

“To our two friends that we love so much!” Jaejoong added in happily as he clinked his glass together.

“To Dong Bang Shin Ki! May we rule the world some day! Eu kyang kyang~” Junsu laughed heartily, spilling his juice in the process.

“I think we almost already do. At least to the fans we do.” Yoochun added matter-of-factly.

“Oh shut up, Yoochun. Happy anniversary!” Jaejoong and Junsu said simultaneously and with that they burst out laughing despite their sadness.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

4:30am
Five phones glowed in the dark night. Most were on vibrate so they wouldn’t see that message till the next morning. But it was something that they would need for the rest of their journey.

“Oppa fighting, we'll always wait for you…”

HoMin's New Album is released!




Changmin and Yunho had just released their new album
Special Edition today followed by Normal Edition on 12th January 2011. Even before the MV released, the teasers made Cassiopeia excited with the catchy chorus and new images of the boys.



The songs in the album are AWESOME. What else can you expect from our beloved leader-ssi and maknae? To hear Changmin rap is something new but I love it~ Controversies blasted off when the lyrics were quite what we call as offending JYJ. But relax. We all knew that HoMin can't do anything regarding the lyrics as they are not the one who wrote it.


Translation of lyrics~

Keep your head down U-Know time (Max)
You know what time it is?
This is return of the king
...
(Everything has ended) I didn’t even start yet
(We broke up) I haven’t even heard the reason yet
Everyone around me keeps asking me why I’m like this
Why are you like that, why are you like that? I’m already the bad guy

(If it’s a sin) If loving you was a sin
(If that was a shin) If being genuine is a sin
(I’ll keep it low, I’ll keep it low) I’ll hold it in and stand my ground

(Keep your head down)
You look pretty, but inside you’re so different, that’s what I’m afraid of
(Keep your head down)
I said I loved you but I’ll let you go

(Why?) Did you leave me so easily
(Why?) Did I look easy to you?
(Why?) My heart is ripping to shreds
(Why?) If every moment was a dream
(Why?) If only I had the time to set it right
(Why?) I prayed for your happiness

I was always satisfied with having you
I was happy to dream the same dream as you no matter what they said
I had to let you go, but I’m just walking my path anyway
Now I’m just chillin’, Feel like I’m healing

It’s too late, you said you can’t come back
You’ve always believed that I’d crumble without you
That’s a misunderstanding, why would I do that? why, why, I told you I wouldn’t

(Hey) I was really, really sad, because you were so immature
and I was afraid you’d meet someone bad (Why? baby)

(Keep your head down)
You’re really pretty, but that’s all there is to you, there’s nothing important inside of you
(Keep your head down)
A nail is driven into the heart that is holding in the pain of love

Ha~ Don’t play with people like that
In front of me, all you do is speak of lies
You’re such a two-faced person
(Why why why) Since when did our crystal-like feelings become so opaque?
Our love has ended, I’ve let you go, and now my heart is empty
But my future is gesturing towards me to get up and smile
I’m letting you go, live happily (why why why)
One day far from now, far from now, I want to just smile comfortable

(Why?) Why
(Why?) You let go of our love so easily
(Why?) Did you ever think that someone would get worried?
(Why?) I don’t think you know yet
(Why?) Exactly just what you let go of
(Why?) Just remain there and watch me grow

(Keep your head down)
Erased, disappeared, you’ve burned to death in my heart
(Keep your head down)
Erased, disappeared, you’ve died in my heart and you no longer exist


Romanization~

Keep your head down U-Know time (Max)
You know what time it is?
This is return of the king

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.

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.
