안녕! here to do a little recap on some stuff that i have not blogged about in Korea. two trips/outings that i went on before coming back. first one was to Gimhae, my buddy, Olivia's hometown. she promised to bring me to visit since the beginning of the semester. so, after her exams ended, i took the bus over and she brought me around. 

for lunch, we went to a famous 돼지국밥 (dweji gukbap) place in Gimhae. we had to take a number and wait for our turn. yea, that's how famous it was. thankfully, we didn't have to wait long.

introducing the lunch we waited for. its technically pork slices and rice in soup. its special because it can only be found in Busan. so if you go to Seoul or other places, you won't find it. i like it because it isn't spicy, it has meat and rice, my two favorite food and its the best thing to eat during winter.

 
after lunch, we took the bus and ended up at a museum. it was quite a small place and it was showcasing the history of Korea.


this is Korean hopscotch. :D


we had a drink in a coffee shop nearby because it was so hot! and then, we headed over to a park which i think is one of the famous tourist attraction in Gimhae. 

this mirror makes us look thin! haha. we loved it so much. i had to leave in the evening as i had another appointment. was really glad to have spent the day with her in her hometown. it was a very good experience and another good memory. *^^*


and about two weekends before i was supposed to leave, i took another trip down to Gyeongju. this time for the sole purpose of visiting the Sex Museum/Love Castle. hehehe. look, its not everyday and everywhere that a sex museum is within my vicinity. might be a bit NSFW, so yea. 



yes, i'm hugging a large colorful penis. *go me!*


and sitting on a penis swing.


whoa! double the fun! hahahahaha.


i might have hugged one, sat on one, had one in each hand but still, taking picture with a ginormous one was a bit too much. (;-_-)/ btw, that 'ejaculation' is activated by sitting on a seat near when i'm standing. you sit on it long enough, he will spray. ( ̄~ ̄;)

if you are interested in this kind of thing, the fee to go in is pretty reasonable. i heard they have reduced it as it was more pricey before this. its not that big but there were quite a lot of things to see. they showcased artifacts from long ago that were sexually related. very cool! i don't know, i personally enjoyed it. would have been better if i understood Korean as there were quite a lot of information and i couldn't understand a single bit. (∩︵∩)

other than the sex museum, i went cycling around. that is the thing to do in Gyeongju. i really wanted to go to the water theme park but it wasn't exactly in the plan.

 
that's about it so far. everything bloggable in Korea has been blogged. i miss the place so much but it will remain as a beautiful and amazing experience for now. because i will return again. count on it.(○゜ε^○)

  
have a great week ahead. ^^ God bless!

foreign friends in a foreign world.
Wednesday, September 18, 2013
New Year's 2013.

the program i went not only brought me to Korea but introduced me to so many other cultures, people and countries. it was really one stone and many birds. ヾ(*´∇`)ノ my colleagues/friends in English Cafe were from Cambodia. there were Nay, Sopheak and Audourm. Nay is kinda the boss/supervisor/manager of English Cafe; a really awesome guy, super kind and fun to dance with. haha. 

I wasn't very close to Sopheak unfortunately. i could tell that she was a very nice person but something was wrong with me, i think. face problem? >< haha, not really. i think i was intimidated by her because she was the better version of the person i wanted to be. does that make sense? anyway, my own pride got in the way of making a possibly good friend. <(。_。)> i am reflecting and learning from this.

Audourm is very motivated and passionate person. he is a very admirable person who has big dreams and means to achieve them. seriously, he is a great guy and i'm very proud and glad to have made his acquaintance. i'll vote for you if you run for president! (●´∀`●)

Malaysians and Cambodians.

during the second semester, English Cafe hired two new students since Sopheak and Audourm left and thus, we have Henry from Ecuador and Victor from Ghana. God was good because without them, i would have been friendless, sad, alone and depressed. so when they came to work, i spent a lot of time with them as our shifts were almost always the same. we had dinner together most days and i went to church with Victor and drinking with Henry. (*´・v・) i am really really grateful for them because going through that time on my own was just not feasible nor advisable. they really were my saviors and 오빠 or is it ahjusshis? ㅋㅋㅋ

Victor, me, Henry @ Dadaepo.

this is Jody from Jamaica, doing her masters on family psychology in Silla. it seems i have no other adjective to describe people other than nice. haha. in Jody, i see a confidence i wish i have. she's also fun to be with. (●⌒∇⌒●)


Alex from Romania. i will always remember her as my dance partner. 〜( ̄▽ ̄〜) the fact that we danced to a Lee Hom song is amazing. who would have thought that Cockney Girl will play in Korea and danced to by two foreign girls? 대박! and she's so pweeetty too!


푸푸. i think its super cute that people call him Pu Pu cus Koreans can't pronounce the F sound. his name is Fuad but he had to improvise and ended up being called Pu Pu. i think he's a lady killer, the way he plays the guitar and all the girls that he's always hanging out with.ㅋㅋㅋ


Yan Yee! i cannot forget her, also i am forever indebted to her. 언니 was so so kind and so so nice to me especially after the break up. she was a friend when i had none and i am so so grateful for all the times she teman me to the hospital and helped out by translating. plus she bought me lots of food and even helped me with my make up. i hope she gets married to a super nice and good looking guy soon! hehe.


 i think this is about it. there's still some things that i have not blogged about Korea yet. will get to that soon but now the bed calls out to me. (∪。∪)。。。zzz

나의 사랑스러운 친구들이. ^^
Tuesday, September 17, 2013
i realized i never got to blog about the friends i made over there, so i'm gonna do that now. ^^ disclaimer: long post is long.

it wasn't very easy making and keeping friends because of the language barrier and the culture difference but i think i did manage to make some good friends. i am very very glad and blessed to have met them. unfortunately, i only managed to make friends in my second semester there which meant we only had time to hang out for about 3 months. such a short time, 아쉽다. D:

most of my Korean friends were also my 'buddies' from the Buddy Program in English Cafe.

this was my Monday buddy, 충희 and if i'm not mistaken, he studies food and nutrition. he's really tall, i think about a head and a half taller. haha. whenever we went out together, he had to bend down to listen because i was speaking so softly and i had to tilt my head up whenever he spoke. :D


we managed to hang out about two times before i came back. my most memorable time with him would be when he brought me to this awesome place in Seomyeon to have supper and 막걸리. we had pineapple 막걸리 (makgeolli/rice wine) and this pork dish (bacon?) which was the best thing i've ever eaten over there. i finished the entire plate by myself and also a salad that had apple mayonnaise dressing. very special and super yummy. 

he's really cute because he would come late to our buddy time sometimes and he'd buy me drinks to make up for it. there were also some random times where he'd just drop in and pass me a bottle of drink that he bought. he's a really nice and kind guy. his English was passable and i think he kinda saw me a younger sister. heeeh. (^_^)

this is my other Monday buddy; Olivia or 재민. she's my age if i remember clearly. i think we really connected because we had quite a lot of similar interests (aka Korean actors or in general, fine-looking guys) and we would flail over them. she was the one who introduced A Gentleman's Dignity to me, one of the best Korean dramas i've watched. we didn't really get to hang out much because Korean students doesn't seem to have a lot of time but before i left and after her final exams, i managed to visit her hometown, Gimhae which i'll blog about soon. 
 

there are just some people that you meet and feel that "hey, here's a good person and a good friend." and that's what i felt with her. she's the optimistic, bubbly kind that made me feel comfortable to be with. plus her English was good since she majors in English literature. oh, i miss her. (≧∇≦)

introducing my Tuesday buddy; Jin. this is unfortunate to say but i think as of right now, he is the most handsome friend i've had. he's yea, pretty much the best looking guy friend i have. oops, don't be offended okay. i love you all the same! ^^


he's 4 years younger than me which makes him 19. just started his degree course and majoring in tourism. his was also the best English among my other buddies which made becoming friends much easier. we hung out quite often and we went visiting places around Busan together too. the best time i've had has to be the time we went to Songjeong beach. everything about that day was so perfect and so beautiful; the memory like a painting to me. i'm really glad to have met him. (◕‿◕✿)

 and now, my Thursday buddy, Lina or 경린. i love this girl, she's crazy, drinks alcohol like its water and wears her heart on her sleeve. she's one of those who feels everything, laughs loudly, gets super excited about stuff and grabs your hand when you walk together. she is exactly the kind of friend i wish i had here in Malaysia. i think all girls need a friend like her. i wish i could have brought her back with me. but more than that, i wish i can be more like her. she was the only one who cried during our final farewell. that girl ah.


 every time we met up for the buddy sessions, it'd involve lots of laughing and giggling and her hitting the guy sitting next to her. she's the mood maker and i think i knew what it meant to brighten up a room through her because that's exactly what she does. i really wished we had more time to build a more meaningful relationship but still, i'm very grateful to have met her. 。◕‿◕。

my second Thursday buddy, 재빈 오빠 or Jebi. ^^ here's another fun person to be with. you can't blame me for liking Korean guys when they're like him. you know, the sweet talker, the ladies man, the kind that says things that makes you blush and your heart warm. okay, so maybe not your cup of tea but so mine. ♡^▽^♡


Thursdays were my favorite day then. and they were the ones that made staying in Busan so worthwhile especially after the break up. if it weren't for friends like them, i wouldn't have been able to face going to English Cafe or going about as if life was okay.

well, these are all my English buddies. there are others who i don't have pictures with, 주연/Ju Yeon, 유미/Chloe and Ellen. Ju Yeon was another girl who was really nice and made me feel like we're close despite the language barrier. When we were in Korea, she couldn't express herself in English and so she'd lapse into Korean but she was so excited about whatever she's talking that i would let her. i met up with her while she was here in Sunway for an exchange program. her English has greatly improved. haha.

Ellen taught me perseverance, patience and hard work will pay off or at least, that's how you should approach learning. she would come see me everyday to go over her English or correct the work she's done in the textbooks. she was so persistent with it and i felt bad looking at her work so hard whereas English came so easy for me. i really wish her all the success in world, i know she will do great things.

Chloe is another girl who was really nice and friendly and made the effort to be friends. we weren't very close but idk, i just like her. but i guess they can be different people when they aren't with me. being a foreigner tends to bring the nice out of other people. lol. oh well.

and now introducing, 동수 or Jun who is in the same gang as Lina and Jebi. he's a really nice guy but for some reason, he's not the kind of guy i would date. Lina and I actually discussed this because he's really quite a good catch but both of us just don't feel it. ( ・◇・)


there's also 미현/ Mi Hyeon who is in the same gang. they call her the chic girl and i agree. she's super cool about stuff and very kind too.

L to R: Jebi, Mi Hyeon, Lina, me, Jun

there are other friends from my first semester but unfortunately, we weren't very close. still, i cherish and hopefully will remember the short time we had together.

okay, i'm going to move to part 2 because this is really getting quite long.

lights on.
Thursday, June 20, 2013

hi, guys! missed me? (^0^)i know i know, i should be having all the time in the world (which i do) but why am i not posting anything? i... have no explanation. ㅋㅋ but i'm here now. 

lets see. what have i been up to lately? i'll start with the Haeundae Sand Festival. it was awesome! i wished i had the time and the right company to witness everything that happened in the festival but alas, i only have but one body and i can only be in one place at a time. 

you may wonder why i would say this. this is because apart from the main event, they had other stuff going on named aptly fringe event. i guess it ensured that more people came flocking to the festival but i wasn't able to enjoy every bit of it. also, maybe because i was a tad too short to peer over people's shoulders. still, they had a lot of things going on and it was a really good festival; there was a little bit for everyone, children, adults, families, couples, locals, foreigners and all. i must say, S.Korea does know how to put on a great festival.

here are some pics to paint the picture.

whats a sand festival doing if it doesn't have ginormous sand sculptures?


and this was during the opening festival, a live performance of sand art. i didn't know it was live till i saw the lady at the corner of the stage. :D


this was during the air show and it was one of the coolest things i've seen. i mean, they were so in sync and aligned! it was amazing! it was spectacular!


and who am i supposed to enjoy all these if not with my friends? ^^


there were lots of other things that happened, they had a parade and band performances and a flying robot and lots lots more. haha. oh oh, during the opening ceremony, First (a mixed idol group that i know nothing of) and No Brain performed! 

i foresee this being a long post. so, buckle up, sit tight and enjoy~ ^^

next up! take a guess?


yup, i can now safely say that i've lived and breathed Busan because i went to a Lotte Giants baseball game. :D and the best part? Lotte Giants won! the game was confusing to me since this was my first time and what little i knew came from the movies. thankfully, my Korean friends helped out with the translations. ㅎㅎ


and another proof that i have fully immersed in the Korean baseball culture; presenting the plastic bags!


we do look quite adorable, no? ^_^

and now, Silla Holic time! as mentioned in previous post, Silla Holic is the name for this year's university festival. this is why i like S.Korea, you know. they have uni festivals where they serve alcohol and have competitions on who can smoke the fastest and of course, have celebrities over to perform and all this for free!

this festival was my first and last time experiencing one, so i took it upon myself to thoroughly enjoy it sort of. haha. the idea of the festival was that each department has their own stalls where they sell a variety of food and a steady supply of alcohol. the food are mostly meat, ramyun and other street stall food. the alcohol were mostly soju or beer or a combination. there were also stalls selling jewelry and like the picture below, artists offering their services for a donation of 100won and above. i looked prettier that day compared to the caricature sketch! hrrmphhh~


at the Chinese stall. ^^


the festival was held on the field and the blue tents are stalls. other than the performances by celebrities, they had things going on like dance, band, orchestra performances and Voice of Silla and lucky draws.


and now! the celebrities! Leessang was a crowd favorite but i only got to see them from afar. Baekchigi was not as well known but there were fans around. 10cm was another popular one and of course, Ailee. she was super adorable! and all around me, the guys were going, "she's so cute!". ㅋㅋ she started off with Beyonce's Crazy In Love, sang her two title songs and some OST song. hearing her sing live was mind-blowing. i got goosebumps! the only setback was the short time all the performances were. i think the longest performance was 10cm. most of them last only half an hour or so. D: still, can't complain now, can i?


yes, you have reached it. this is the end. phew~ heeeh. that's pretty much what i've been up to these past three weeks. i'll be going back to Malaysia next week. pretty torn up about leaving, on one hand, i miss home but on the other, i will definitely miss Busan and all the friends i made here. D:

oh well. tis' life, is it not? hellos and goodbyes. 

have a good week ahead! God bless~

봄비~
Sunday, May 26, 2013

an update. does it seem like i have abandoned my blog? rest assured, i have not. heeh.

lately, i've been out and about (a welcomed change) and now, i'm gonna compile everything that's been happening in this post. ^^

firstly, during the public holiday over here two weeks back, my spring bf and I went to Songjeong beach (송정해수욕장).  i had a really great time, the kind where i can file into the 'wonderful memories in Korea' folder. the weather was just perfect to put on a dress and walk hand in hand for 8km along the Dalmaji Road to reach our destination. haha. although the truth was we took a wrong turn and ended up on the other side of the neighborhood. i'm glad for it though, it was a romantic walk. (⌒▽⌒)


the scenery was just beautiful, the sea on our right, the mountains on our left. the breeze was chilly enough to make walking under the sun not so terrible. the trees acted as shade, the air was clean and refreshing, and my company was just delightful. (-o⌒) and the sea water was coooold~ the atmosphere was really lively on the beach. lots of uni students took the public holiday as an opportunity to have MTs and lots of families were around, camping and playing with their children. there were a few couples around too, one of them who had to persuade and cajole her bf to take off his shoes and socks and enjoy the waves with her. *coughyesi'mtalkingaboutmyselfcough*


it was indeed one of the better days i've had here. that's one thing i like about Busan/S. Korea, its easy to get around and there are a lot of places like this where people can go to enjoy and unwind. i think, its a nice place for children to grow up in. :D was thinking about this on the way back from church today.


and last Friday, i finally got myself to the Dadaepo Sunset Fountain of Dream! and along with me were Yan Yee, Henry and Victor. the musical fountain show was simply mesmerizing, magical and a must-go. it was definitely worth the one hour plus trip there for a 30 minutes show. it was so pretty and somehow, the fountain managed to interpret the feelings of the songs. they played a total of 5 songs and the fountain operates every day at 8pm and on weekends, they have two shows. you can even request songs to be played. here's a short vid i took of two songs; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gw3MJZ8U4a4 (:


and then, on Saturday, i went hiking in Busan Children's Park (어린이대공원). i was reluctant at first but i'm glad i went. not only did i have a good time fellow-shipping with the church members but the park was really nice. again, this is what i like about Busan/S.Korea. they have all these parks and beaches and recreation places that are safe and free and people/children-friendly. it really encourages people to go out, enjoy the outdoors and spend real quality time with nature and loved ones.


these are the church members i was with. at one point, i wished that i could spend a day like this with my CG members or friends. this kind of hanging out is the best! ^^

in conclusion, the picture below pretty much sums it up.


i'm living the good life now, so grateful for every memory, every friend and every day i have left here. next week is gonna be another exciting week because its Silla Holic week, a yearly festival held here and they invite celebrities to perform. this year, the performers are *drumroll* Lessang, Baekchigi, Ailee and 10cm.

this is it for now. take care, have a good week ahead (its the last week of May!) and God bless~

웃다 울다.
Tuesday, April 23, 2013
a little update as i've been MIA for a while now. lets just say that i am definitely feeling a lot better about the whole break up thing. its always nice to know that i don't really run out of guys' attention. sounds pompous, i know but i'm grateful for their attention (and distraction), girls too. heeh. after the being heartbroken thing, its very encouraging to know that i'm not broken to these people who sees me and likes me. being dumped kinda decreases your self-esteem for a while, you know. meh. i'm much better now. ^^ i'm not gonna let this spoil the rest of Korea for me.

but looking back, i have spent half of spring cooped up in my room. oops. i don't exactly feel any loss there, not when my time has been filled with watching k-dramas full of eye candies. oh, all these tall, lanky guys with smiling eyes and beautiful teeth, why must you torture me so with your good looks and long legs? i couldn't ask for a better way to spend my time. hehe.

i started off with watching School 2013. it had really good reviews and of course, the driving force behind its success other than its real portrayal of Korean school life is its two leading actors, Lee Jong Suk and Kim Woo Bin. /cue to swoon. i can't even decide which one i like better but hey, why do i even need to choose? ^^

the plot was good, no love story in between though which was a bit odd but they did portray the life of Korean students pretty well according to what i've read. and if their life is really like that, i feel really sad for them. there's no perfect education system in any country but the societal/parental pressure here in Korea for students to succeed makes it worse. ah, i'm blabbing. in conclusion, good drama, good-looking guys, good way to spend my evenings.


then, i moved on to A Gentleman's Dignity. why didn't i find out about this sooner? i think it made a lot of noise when it aired but somehow i paid no attention to it. well, i just finished watching it over the weekend and its really good. the kind of good where i don't want to leave that world and makes me feel like crying because its over. all i want to do is cling on and yell, "don't gooooo~". ㅠ.ㅠ

of course, another bunch of good-looking men over here. all way older but no less appealing, i guarantee you. kinda makes me want to be older so that it seems less wrong to fall head over heels for them, especially Jang Dong Gun. (。♥‿♥。) yes, that's my face through out the drama. (ღ˘⌣˘ღ)

what i like about this drama is that as much as this was a romantic comedy drama, there was a lot of friendship, brotherhood, life lessons and the four of them with their own charm really pulls you in. there wasn't a dull moment and the four love stories going on doesn't leave you with time to get bored. you might get the impression that the drama may be more suitable for the older, more adult generation but i think the younger generation would have a lot of fun watching this and may even end up learning a thing or two. in general, i just super like this show okay. not to mention, Jonghyun from CNBlue and Kim Woo Bin are acting in it; pretty much covers the taste of all women viewers. :D unfortunately, this is also sparked my crazy fan mode and now, i'm all flailing and obsessing over Jonghyun/CNBlue. (●♡∀♡)

somewhere in the last week, i had the opportunity to eat meat and watch not just one but two movies with someone other than myself. heeh. i'm still not sure if this progress is a good thing but who am i kidding? i'm just glad there is someone who wants to hold my hand even when it gets sweaty. ㅋㅋㅋ i shouldn't/wouldn't/couldn't ask for more, really.

Oblivion is... good. there has been a lot of end of the world or post-end of the world movies around but this one definitely came with a twist. the plot was clever, i'm still trying to figure out bits of it and well, i'm not a good critic. so like any other consumer, i can only say this, it was worth my time and money and aren't those the important factors?


now, this one, i had no idea about. it was the other only English movie that sounded reasonably okay and at first, i thought it was some spoof/parody of Twilight/vampire/werewolves by the look of the poster. turned out i was way off course. this was actually a well-made movie with a solid plot and story. i don't recognize any of the cast and i just found out that this was based on a book. anyway, this movie was good, give it a shot if it plays in your cinemas.


okay, so my update wasn't so little after all. haven't blogged in a while, that's why. 

i've been feeling very blessed, knowing that i've been blessed all along. again, i learn to appreciate the small things, the moments of laughter and peace; with friends or by myself, the wind in my hair, the cherry blossoms before my eyes and strangers who become friends. i'm still learning, still growing.

p.s. congrats on being baptised, little sister. (:


let go, let God.

미치GO!

G-Dragon One Of A Kind 1st World Tour
Date: 30th March 2013 (Day 1)
Time: 6.00pm (Korea time)
Venue: Olympic Gymnastics Arena, Seoul

asdfghjkl;asdfghjkl AWESOME. could it have been any other way?


i reached Seoul about 1pm but i kinda got lost for awhile and ended up reaching the arena around 4pm. thankfully, i managed to buy the GD ring to put on the crown light stick. however, i also accidentally got myself an extra light stick. :/ its up for sale if anyone's interested. heeh.


my light stick now testifies that i have been to two awesome concerts, Big Bang's and GD's. ^^

okay, now lets get down to business.


this was my view. i was on the third floor but pretty much in the middle, which meant the perfect view of course. the concert started a bit late, around 15 - 20 minutes later but GD is worth the wait, really. :D i'm gonna comment a little on each song based on what i remember. 

overall, the concert was mind blowing. the stage was pretty simple this time around but definitely not less sophisticated. props were big and pricey-looking like the shiny car that he comes out in in the beginning and the DJ stand thing he was in for Today. i would say that this concert and the way he wants it to be is more personal. there wasn't a lot of VCRs but a lot of the live band and him rocking his songs. i can feel that the focus was really on him and the way he delivered his songs which made them all the more potent. his performance was energy-packed and crazy. i felt drained halfway into the concert because the power and the high during his songs were like "whoa~". i mean, it was CRAAAAAZY.

MichiGo; the concert started off with a VCR of him in a futuristic car being chased by someone and GD will then appear in a shiny car, climbing out of it dressed in a racer outfit which made him look really good, matched his red hair too. okay, who am i kidding? he looks good in anything but that image of him with the shades and that smirk, urgh, i was a dead girl even before he opened his mouth. btw, MichiGo = awesome song. i am looking forward to the MV. as mentioned, its a hip hop song and lets just say, G-boy hasn't lost his touch. the song is gonna blow!

Heartbreaker + One of A Kind; right off the hat, the energy was pumped up. he moved on to Heartbreaker and i sang along (more like screamed along) to every word. oh ya, the racer outfit he has on can be unzipped and it turns into some sort of coat. and then, there was One of A Kind. i don't recall much of these perfs that were out of norm. 

Light It Up; oh, ho ho ho. guessed who showed up? Tablo! when the song started, i was like, "Noooo way~" and then he walked out and i was ecstatic. yeaa, you can imagine how i lost my voice. :D they had a video of Dok2 rapping to make up for him not being there.

The Leaders; and another guest performance, this time featuring CL! she looked gooood and to think she's the same age as me and she was 19 when this song came out. /sigh. i was sorta hoping for Teddy to join them but CL took over his verse instead. they replaced the second half of the 'whats up' chant to 'we're back', if i'm not mistaken.

Obsession; there was a short break before this song for him to change. i don't exactly remember what happened during the break. oops. anyway, he came out in a black outfit with a veil over his head. i know this song is all angst and pain but seeing him perform it, i really felt what the song is about. my heart was breaking as he struggled up the stairs to get to his girl who was hanging like a portrait at one corner. not to mention, there was a guitar solo that can rip right through your heart. i think i was holding my breath during the performance.

She's Gone; and of course, he moved on to another equally angsty painful song. and my heart breaks again. if GD can write songs like this, he can very well perform and portray the song too and he did. if i'm not wrong, he got rained over in this perf.

Butterfly; he lightened the mood by performing this, all sweet and cute and smiles. this performance was really pretty, kinda like the same feeling you get when you watch its MV. he had these big butterfly-like kites flying around and it was just magical. ^^ he was dressed in white and he was doing this sexy/cute hip swaying thing. i really wanted to shrink him to pocket-size and bring him home.

Missing You; you can tell even before this that he's pretty tired out. during this song, he lied down on the floor when the video of 김윤아 singing her part came on. the perf followed the style of Butterfly, there was a big tall beanstalk on the screen. very pretty. hehe.

That XX; he continued resting for a while and sang like an acoustic version of this. they brought this big chair out (like the thrones in Fantastic Baby's MV) draped in chains and shiny stuff for him to sit on. the guitarist sat at the foot of the chair to play. how is it that he can look good sitting on a chair?

결국; this was the song where Lee Hi joined him. there was something wrong with her mic, i think. towards the end, i couldn't really hear her but she sounded good effortlessly when her mic did work. 

Today + A Boy + This Love + 1 Year Station; another VCR before he came out in this round DJ stand thing with spikes all around. lol. clearly, my descriptive skills suck. anyway, he sang 김종완's part of the song too for this. then, the dancers started doing Michael Jackson moves and i knew it was A Boy. when This Love played, it went wild, not that it already wasn't but this is his first solo song. i think i was feeling slightly emotional. to be able to hear him sing it, it was amazing for me. oh, he had a very special mic shaped like a dragon. it reminded me of Lee Hom's guitar. and the mic could extend into a standing one which was what happened when he sang 1 Year Station.

Crayon + Fantastic Baby; he combined both songs like what he did in MAMA 2012. we got our cray on, ppl! he sang and rap the whole Fantastic Baby too. 

Encore, Breathe + Bad Boy; before the encore started, a short video came up and it was adorable. it showed him miming and the vid was like "get out! what? more?". then he did Breathe but the only thing i remember was him falling down on to the floor and rolling around after Breathe ended. he was exhausted and then while lying down, he started singing Bad Boy and we sang along. during Top's part, he imitated him and it was so cute. he walked and gestured the way Top does and then he danced like Taeyang during his part. he was so adorable! i think he might have imitated Seungri, i'm not very sure. D: after he finished, he introduced the band and thanked everyone. when he was supposed to leave, the dancers blocked him and was pretending to pull him back. he broke free from them and he was like "i guess you guys don't want to go home yet." kyaaa, so cute!

MichiGo; the last song of the night. after he finished, he went around the stage and bowed and waved goodbye. i think he had tears in his eyes. awwwwww~ he is so precious. its no wonder that he's my bias.

and yes, this ends my very long fan account. i don't have the words to do his concert justice. it was epic. i was like in some sort of daze when i walked out and the only thing that went through my mind was "wow. wow. wow." trying to make sure everything i just saw stay in my mind. i hope i get to catch it again when he goes to Malaysia or Singapore. the only regretful part of this concert was the duration. it ended slightly before 2 hours but i shouldn't complain. GD looked really tapped out and i heard that he had 2NE1 perform today (day 2) so that he gets more time to rest. poor bb.

to whoever that reads this, thank you for enduring all my words and i'm sure i missed out stuff. so if you have the chance to go for his concert, GO! you will not regret it. ^^


Goodnight and Happy Easter!
