Big News!!

I am so happy!! TVXQ won for this year's VMAJ2007!! WooHoo!! It just ended not long ago, in fact, it was last night, or so to speak, 26 May 07. Went straight to the website to check out the results and here it is!! Their hard work paid off, and I'm so excited to watch their performance clip!! I wanna see them take the award!! Hope someone uploads it soon, I'm getting imaptient already.


I'm thinking of what they might have sung during the awards show. I'm guessing it's their newest single, Lovin' You. It's not a song I'll like, but I won't dislike it either. The MV is not very interesting either, in fact, it's kinda boring. But what the heck, hope I'm right about their performance.

Lovin' You


Then again, they got their award for the album 'O' Jung Ban Hap, so they probably will sing the Japan version of the song.

'O' Sei Han Gou


Oh wells, watever makes them happy.

Apparently the forums and fanclubs have not posted any news on this yet, I guess I'm the kan chiong 1... but since i no longer have access to the news site for the sg fanclub, i shall not bother to inform them anymore.

This is specially for my 2 Dong Bang friends, hope you like this.

-----------------Edit-----------------

For my Dong Bang Friends:

Found the VMAJ07 TVXQ cut videos. This person is fast.. really fast.

The Redcarpet.

They look gorgeous in white suits!

The Award Ceremony

Yunho started off in Korean, then Changmin in Japanese and Yoochun ended in English.
3 Languages! Awesome!
Tohoshinki Gambate!! Fighting!

The Performance - Korean and Japanese Mix of "O" Jung.Ban.Hap.

Yays! I'm right. They performed Jung Ban Hap. Yunho is so Hot!!
Changminnie is alittle off-tune in this performance, and Jaejoong fumbled on the first note.
But give them credit for dancing and singing Live with a hand mic.
Yunho had perfect pitch for the whole song, yoochunnie and junsu too, but I'm being bias here. (:

-----------------Re-Editted-----------------

Changed my blogskin because the other one gave me problems when i upload youtube videos... the skin is too small...
This is to Qp, if you want the videos above, holler me.. I have them dl'ed already. But if you want the subbed ones, u'll hafta wait.

My 2nd Dong Bang Friend.

Oh yes! Found my 2nd Dong Bang friend, Shu Hsien. As mentioned in my earlier post, if it wasn't for Na's Haven, SH wouldn't have discovered my dear TVXQ. Yeps, all thanks to Na's Haven. (:

Read her blog a few moments ago, she changed her blogskin (mentioned in my tb) and it's freaking pretty! I'm so jealous.
I promised to help her change her blogskin, cuz she liked what I did to mine. So, I suggested her to find a background she likes and I'll make amendments for her. She ended up finding a "ready-made super suave skin that needs no further amendments because it's shuai to the Max (changmin)!!"

Anyways, she mentioned about not knowing how many names Dong Bang has, and I've never elaborated on this topic, and I've not gone crazy over Dong Bang for quite a few posts already, so here's a tutorial on Dong Bang Names.

In Korea, they are called Dong Bang Shin Ki (DBSK). This is mostly used in Korea only - especially when they first debut.

The direct translation in english will be Dong Bang Shin Gi (DBSG), which is rarely used.

They are marketed overseas as TVXQ, Tong Vfang Xien Qi. Eventually, this became their official name because the co. wanted it in chinese - 東方神起.

The direct translation in english will be TVfXQ - note the small 'f' is added to emphasize on the silent 'V'.

Around 2 years ago, they decided to attack the Japan market, follow the footsteps of their senior BoA (Bitch of Asia) and so in order to be easily remembered in Japan, they had their name translated into Japanese.

In Japan, they are called Tohoshinki (THSK), which is used in their Japanese albums/singles.

Alright, we are only done with Part 1 of the tutorial. You've only learnt the names of TVXQ in different languages. Now, I'll teach you the member's names.

Being bias and all, hehe... I'll start with the leader of the group. =D

Jung Yunho
Stage Name: U-know Yunho
Korean Stage Name: U-know Yunho
Other forms of spelling his name: Yoonho

Kim Jaejoong
Stage Name: Hero Jaejoong
Korean Stage Name: YoungWoong Jaejoong
Other forms of spelling his name: Jejung (in Japan)

Shim Changmin
Stage Name: Max Changmin
Korean Stage Name: ChoiKang Changmin

Kim Junsu
Stage Name: Xiah Junsu
Korean Stage Name: Xiah Junsu

Park Yoochun
Stage Name: Micky Yoochun
Korean Stage Name: Micky Yoochun
Other forms of spelling his name: Yuchun (in Japan)
The name Micky was the name used when he was in the states (Virginia), his brother's name is Ricky.

Don't think I've missed out anything. Maybe I'll return another day to give another lesson on TVXQ.

Just thought of a topic. TVXQ Couples, or to put it nicely, TVXQ Besties - Bestfriends in TVXQ. The 5 of them are very close, but for 5 guys who eat, sleep, study and work together for 365 days every year, there must be a special bond between every member.

So I shall work on that post another day.

No Fever, No diarrhoea, So what is it?

It started at 1am. It felt like I was having cramps and an overly fed stomach at the same time. I was kinda puzzled because it was too early for cramps and I didn't eat much the entire day. All I had was a chicken leg from carrefour, 1 packet of chips and 2 donuts yesterday. But I did drink 2 bottles of Apple Tea, 1 bottle of Lychee Tea and 1 bottle of Peach Tea separately for that day. I expressed my discomfort to my kor, who was busy on the PSII, so I gave up and went to bed.

At around 4 in the morning, my kor needed to cut through my room to get into his room (to sleep). I have no idea my didi had to lock the front door. I was sitting on my bed fighting the 'cramps' when he entered. Neither of us suspected, so both returned to our beds.

At 7am, things got worse. The pain was excruciating and I felt nausea. Within half an hour, I was stationed in front of my toilet seat, throwing out brown liquid with partial solids.

I wouldn't mind if my stomach could just clear everything at one go, but no, it had to give me intermissions while piercing itself while doing so.

By 9, I had nothing to throw out anymore but my stomach refuse to give up. I managed to drag myself downstairs to get some ultracarbon tablets, which I threw up again, causing my subsequent throw ups to be black in colour.

Only my kor was at home, sleeping soundly in the other room. He can't hear my screams on the other side of the door, so I gave up on counting on him. I tried to call my mom, but my hands were trembling so hard, I can't seem to call the right no. Finally, I got through to my dad.

Saved.

It shouldn't be food poisoning. I had no diarrhoea and didn't eat much either. My mom says its stomach flu, a new term for symptoms that resemble that of diarrhoea. Anything that goes into my mouth, comes out within 30 mins.

Up till now, I still feel queasy, it's like another round of torture is waiting at my door step.

Little Devils

It's been such a long time since I've had so much contact with so many kids. The last time I had interaction with children was when I was one myself.

I was asked to tend the inflatable playground in a Carnival, an inflatable that wasn't well-designed for kids. It stood at the height of 2 storeys, had really high steps (nearly the height of a 5 year old), a pretty steep slide and a very small landing ground.

I stationed myself on the top of the inflatable, regulating the traffic flow. It was total chaos at first. Fights, bullies, pushing and crying. I thought I could be a nice big sister and persuade them to play nice. But no, none listened and things got worse. Parents started intruding and shouted orders at me from below. Curses.

I have a natural stern face to start off with, so being one wasn't tough. Boys used to shun me because of that. Just a little screaming and commanding was all I need.

There were 3 boys who left quite an impression at the end of the day.

1st was Darren, 6years old. Yeps, I even got his name (: He's really cheeky and smart. He knows how to suck up to me to get away with all the naughty deeds. It started when he was bullied on his way up and I went to his rescue. He came up again offering me a candy. From then on, on every turn, he would run up and shine his bright smiley face at me, 'smooth talking' his way through whenever he cuts the queue.

He reminds me of InHwan. *Cuteness!*

2nd was a toddler. He's really small, but very brave. Most probably only 3 years old or maybe younger. He doesn't talk or smile and can't seem to follow instructions very well. I felt abit irritated at first, he was very unresponsive. It was only until his XX no. of turns when I realise he was still in diapers. All along I thought he just had a smaller build but no, he's just a brave toddler.
*Respect*

3rd is another boy, probably around Primary 4. He came up to me and tried to make conversations like an adult, but failed terribly.

Boy: So when is the President coming?
Na: The President is not coming.
Boy: Then who is coming?
Na: The Prime Minister is coming. (There was a printing error on the stage backdrop, which I wasn't aware of.)
Boy: Then can take knife and stab him?
Na: For what? You want to go jail ah?
Boy: Nevermind one, the ambulance is just there, he won't die de.
Na: .....
And it was the boy's turn to play on the slide.

Was he trying to be funny?

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

Heard from Qp that ShuHsien is a potential TVXQ fan. Most importantly, all the credit goes to Na's Haven. Woots! It proves that all my hardwork pays off, and there ARE people who actually read and WATCH my entries.

The thing is, according to Qp, ShuHsien seems to have more interest in Yunho. On one hand, I feel happy cuz Finally some1 thinks like me. But then again, it hurts to share Yunho with one more person. (Okays, I see people rolling their eyes already. Try stopping me from being emo.)

SH, if you're reading this, I welcome you with open arms to the TVXQ World.

Cleaning Out The Closet

My first time was only months ago, when I was 18 going on 19. Her body was still warm, my mom was by her side, tearing profusely while screaming for her. I didn't detect any difference at all, she was almost motionless for almost a month already. I refuse to believe my eyes.

For a moment, I understood how one's heart can actually 'think', because for once, my heart overruled my brain to be in denial.

That week, I had trouble being near her, but I missed her. I've never seen anyone in that state, and to add to it, some1 really close. I'm not scared, it just hurts too much. For those few days I needed some1 beside me whenever I visited her. I'm just not strong enough.

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

A few hours ago, just months after the first time, I encountered round 2. It was hard to handle, especially when it's somebody who's only 1 year younger. She chose to end it all at her aunt's lift lobby. I guess she needed some1 to bring her to her family.

Hearing her aunt telling others the scene of her act makes me tremble. Then, the thought of letting go and ending my story flashed across my mind. It felt good.

But seeing the grieve of her family erased bliss from my mind. The thought of her family clearing out her belongings brings me back to memories from the (not too long ago) past.

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

It still bothers me that the room is now totally different from what it was for the past 10 years. And I've never dared to admit that I've been dragging time to move in. Relatives will ask how's my new room, and I'll always try to change the subject.

I miss her so much.

Devastated.

This year, my life is fluctuating like shares in the stock market.

Today is another day I will never forget. 6 days after I turn 19, I lose another friend (sort of).

When I first moved in, her maid and my maid became friends. From them, we learnt of each other and started hanging out. She was 1 year younger, had 1 elder sis and 1 younger bro, which makes us both 2nd in place. We had picnics and played dolls. I remember once when her cousin was at her place, she fell out with him and her didi cuz she felt unjust. She left home and seek refuge at my place. We hid her and protected her until she felt she was ready to face them again.

I never suspected anything, I thought it was just another middle-child syndrome.

We drifted apart after entering secondary school. I became a girl with AP and her mother was being competitive. Soon, our conversations shortened and eventually, body language became our communication tools.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I slept late, 3 in the morning. By the time I woke up, I only had 20mins left until tutorial starts. It was nothing new because this was how life had been since start of school.

As I was rushing out of house at 9.05am, I saw her emerging from her house. There was no doubt about taking a cab, so I paused and considered to offer her a ride. She heard my footsteps and took a quick glance. I was already 5mins late and she was taking her own sweet time, so I skipped the basic courtesy of even greeting and dashed out to hail a cab.

On my journey to school, it bothered me that I ignored her because this trip might bring us closer. But judging from the time she's leaving home, it's just the right time to catch a bus to school for a 10am class. She'll reach school and still have enough time to drag her feet to class. I convinced myself that she doesn't have to reach 40mins early and stone alone.

School ended early because my lecturer met an accident. He wasn't hurt but the car was disfigured. Whatever. I get to go home early to sleep.

I was napping on my living room couch and it was nearly time for dinner. I heard the gate open but nobody was entering the house. It's either my mom or my dad. I was looking out because I know I'll have to wake up when they return. No footsteps, no voice. Maybe it wasn't our gate, maybe it was next door. I was probably half asleep when I hear the 'click' of the gates.

But I wasn't wrong. My mom entered and came to my side. She sounded nervous and told me something bad happened. I ignored, thinking that this is just one of her tactics to wake us up. Finally, she gave up and whispered in my ear.

She didn't survive.

Not yet 18. No one suspected. And I might be the last to have seen her.
If only I stopped to give her a ride.
If only I did more than just smiling.
If only....
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All our knowledge merely helps us to die a more painful death than animals that know nothing.

Now I'm having doubts about my belief : Time will heal all wounds, Scars will trail behind.
But true enough, Time will Tell.

I've never loved my Brother more than this.

Yes! He bought it! But he only bought 1. It costs him S$60 per DVD, so he decided to just buy 1 for me since he owe me a present and a birthday celebration. When I told him I'll pass this to my friend he exploded. Okays, I admit, I caught him in the wrong mood.

Watching it now. Sweet. Drooling when it was Yunho's solo. But there's no Changmin's solo. ): Feel so cheated larx. And Yunho's solo wasn't the one I wanted. No wait, or was the one I wanted from the 2nd concert?? Hmm.. gotta check with Qp. Their costumes are way Sexy! Hawt!

Watching this dvd just makes me itch for the 2nd concert's dvd, which I'll probably have to wait for At Least 1 more year until it's out. Grrrr...

Hectic days since the start of school. It's only the 3rd week and I've submissions and presentations already. I checked out my ex-classmates in HR's workload and found out they've only just been introduced to their project scope. Dang!
Kind regret taking Marketing instead of HR. Life would probably be less stressful.

After nailing 2 projs down, there's more installed for the next week. So far, I've 1 proj submission next week.

1 this wed + 1 this fri + 1 nxt tues = 3 projects to submit.

Anyways, I Love My Kor SooooVmuch, U-know?

Thank you EVERYBODY!!!

There's only minutes left until my birthday ends.

What a day.

One day, the three of us (my bros and i) asked my mom what time did she give birth us (individually).

My kor - late morning.
My didi - early in the morning when it was only a few hours into the day.
Me - there were only ard 30mins left till the end of the day.

So they were teasing me. Both of them had almost all day to celebrate their birthdays. I only had ard 30 mins. So technically, my birthday starts from this time of today until the clock strikes 12. Tragic.

I've been spending my entire day playing host to my friends. Yep, people came to my house, but it wasn't for a party, it was serious business. We have 3 projects due Friday(tmr), Monday and Tuesday respectively. "\(>_<) /" Now that they have left, I'll spend my last 30mins of birthday pampering myself before I head back to the dreadful proposals and write-ups. Well, it wasn't all that bad today. Sab must have told the rest that it was my bday today and they came up with comical make-shift celebration after dinner. Hmm... an 'eleventh-hour' garnish on a choc saralee cake. But it made me smile.
And they even singsong-cutcake with my parents (this time a real cake, which my dad bought, something Elements nv did. ):


Last night had a great night with Elements + Alvin & Bernard. Although it wasn't a great turnout as compared to last year's but the present from Elements made up for everything flaw. I would dare say that that present would have been sufficient.
THE BEST BIRTHDAY PRESENT EVER!!!!!!!!!!

Had dinner at Vivo in an Uber Freezing Restaurant and to think that we still had an ice-cream cake when all of us were almost frosted. We chat (gossipd) by the sea on the roof of Vivo until all the shops closed and people had to go home and prepare for sch/work.

The thing is, we saw interesting people on the deck. 1st it was a suspected les couple, which brought us into the subject of Gaysm.

Then, it was a overly intimate couple at the front of the deck dressed in working attire. We suspect they're having an affair (or a rendezvous), otherwise they could just go home and be touchy-touchy all they want.

Next it was a group of family/friends (people) with a swensens (icecream?) cake. We thought they were gonna singsong-cutcake on the deck and we will just join them. But they left soon after we've settled down. Oh wells.

Lastly, it was a pair of brothers. The didi was adorable, screaming and running around the deck like the 2 weird couples doesn't exist. Afterall, he's too young to realise anything, but he's presence interrupted the 2 weird couples on a few occasions, making it less awkward for us to be around them.

Oh yea! Today on Channel 51, MTV Taiwan, they showed clips of TVXQ Rising Sun Concert DVD!!! On my birthday!! WooHoo! I'll try to catch the repeat telecast in the morning (if I can wake up in time). Thrilled to see them on TV once again. Uknow and gang Totally make up for all the dreadful things (projects) I have today.

I've not been networking for a Looooong time. So I'm quite surprised that people still rmbd my birthday.

Thank you everyone for everything!

I would like to thank Sabrina, Rene, Daisy and Christina for today. I thought today was gonna be the most Dull birthday I can ever have (for the past 3years). I've had worse birthdays (Birthdays on exams - Science paper to be exact).

My parents, for giving me a sumptuous dinner at TungLok, ordering all my favourites! Although u didn't buy me the $1.4k bedframe bcuz u didn't like it but I'll make sure u make up for it next year.

And Alvin(my BBDC buddy) & Bernard(Lao Jie Mei) for attending dinner last night.

Lastly, I wanna thank -Elements: Shan, Fel, Laine, Zw- for My Wonderful Present! I Love All of You!! I Love My Present Most of All!!!!!!

I won't be thanking my kor yet. I'll wait till he returns tmr and see what he's got for me.
*Fingers-Crossed*

Hooray! Enjoying it right this moment!!!! Can't believe how Overwhelmed I am!!!!

I LOVE You, U.Know?? *Hints* ROFL

Every second is a torture.

My kor is Taiwan and I'm dying for him to return. Not because I miss him (I'm too used to his absence at home), but because he's given a very important task. (Optimistic wise,) ther's a 50-50 chance of him accomplishing the mission, but I know him too well to not keep my spirits up.

In our own ways, we are spoilt. Because he is the oldest, he learnt the ways of independence at a very young age. Among the three, he had the least toys and never dared to ask for toys. He was taught to earn for his rewards and never take things for granted. So when he grew up, he taught tuition for his gadgets and worked for his branded merchandise. (But of cuz the folks pay for the big ticket items.)

For that, he earned our respect and thus hold great authority over us. With a maid serving us all our lives, he has 2 younger siblings to add to the service. Yeps, we're often ordered around and we never refusd.

He has a goal, a goal influenced greatly by my parents. His goal is to make money and he'll do whatever (morally upright) to earn as much cash as possible. [Btw, he has his own definition of morally upright -which i will explain later.] He once said to my parents, "You are the cause of what I am now. I was told to study really hard so that I can earn lots of money and not end up a roadsweeper. So that's what I'm doing now, studying so that I can be rich."

Therefore, he took up Law because of indirect passion. Lawyers earn good income - Good income = Rich. Ultimately, his passion (since primary school) is Money.

He thinks that you can do anything illegal as long as you don't get caught. So unless you have a 100% foolproof plan to commit an offence, you're an idiot. But I'll not worry about him doing so because everyone knows that there's no such thing as a 100% foolproof plan and in an illegal act, anything that can go wrong will go wrong. He's too smart to not see that.

Yep, he's too smart. Few possess high IQ and EQ, he's one of them. People say a child's brain absorbs like a sponge, apparently his brain has never left that era, it still absorbs like a sponge at the age of 23, while I'm turning into a resistor. He's also good at networking, meeting friends everywhere we go - like all ard Singapore.

Asking him for a favour is like moving a mountain hill.

I've to:
- Test his mood b4 approaching him
- Plead him countless of times
- Make sure it doesn't affect him/give way to him
- If he refuse, end of story.

He refused my request for Rising Sun DVD. I pleaded him for 2 whole weeks, he said he'll try, no guarantee. So now, should I still be optimistic?
Truthfully, I'm only 5% sure that he'll get it for me. *Fingers-crossed*

Shite, I'm feeling shitty after writing this.

Hope Shan gives me good news soon. Can't stand the torture. I need Plan B urgently.
