So much to write about, get into a comfy position on your seat and take a deep breath, this is gonna be a long post.
Went to HMV yesterday, checked out the release of Rising Sun DVD. Saw this on the Japanese/Korean Album Chart.
Five in The Black hit no.7 on the chart.
Glad that it's on the chart, but it's nowhere near the top but it's not important. There's better news.
Yays!!! TVXQ's Rising Sun hit No. ONE on the DVD/VCD Chart!!! WooHoooo!!
I was smiling to myself when I saw this.

Oh ya, if you haven't noticed, I'm back in Singapore, for only 3 days.This weekend, I'm leaving again, to somewhere in Indonesia for a family gathering.
Some asked why must we go so far for a gathering, that's because I have relatives there.
I'm going with my mom side's relatives.
I only learnt yesterday that my kor will be missing this gathering, not becasue he doesn't want to, but he's in reservist now.. Wahahahaha! Thought he could skip it because he's a clerk (with the help of a specialist and stuff). In the end, he's still called back to be a clerk for a week. LMAO =D
Anyways, HoChiMin(HCM) was alright. It's freaking warmer than Singapore and the Sun is scorching painful.
The place is really dirty, and the air is especially filthy, giving no mercy to my complexion. Now I'm having trouble fixing the acne troubles. ):
The food is not as great as what Sab said, not for me at least. The food was slightly too salty for my liking and they love to eat Veggies, Raw. They have all sorts of raw leafs. They also have this Vietnamese 'Pohpiah'.
Instead of the flour skin, we were given edible "plastic paper" to wrap.
Instead of the cooked cabbage filling with extra sides like prawn and crab, we were to use raw leafs with any one of the cooked dish on the table as the side.
Instead of the sweet sauce used in Pohpiah, there's this clear sweet, sour, spicy watery sauce, which I'll pass and use the soy sauce instead.
Next is the shopping. They have markets like Thailand, except it's slightly smaller, something like Tiong Bahru Market, but slightly bigger.
One thing I must mention. The walkways in between the shops are so Freaking Small!! Only One Person can fit in that space, two person will have to do the CrabWalk to pass.
There's no ventilation, with shoulders rubbing shoulders and the humidity, I have no mood to stop and browse for long in a shop, much less to say bargain for a good price.
But I still manage to buy some stuff. 2 Polos, 2 bags, 1 belt and 1 slippers.
Oh, and 1 fragrance, but that was in Singapore's Changi DFS, counted?
I have something that might freak some out, there was a roach in my hotel's bathroom on the first day. I killed it unintentionally when I close the bathroom door, jammed it in between the hinges.
And then there was something that freaked me out. There's a lizard behind the desk in the hotel room on the last day. I made my brother clear my stuff on the table and I didn't dare to go near the table for the rest of the day.
But on the overall, the hotel is good. It's only Four Star but with the good location, it was worth it.
My dad has a few Singapore friends in Vietnam, all business related friends. Only one was residing in HCM. He brought us to a restaurant on the top of a office tower where we can see bird's eye view of HCMCity. We had dinner there, some familiar food finally, fish and chips. Had cocktails that I have no idea what is it made of but it's drinkable.
The best part was the night view of HCM on the 33rd Floor. HCM is a mixture of tall buildings in the midst of the overcrowded shop houses. Nothing fascinating in the sunlight, but with the aid of the coloured lighting and luminous board signs, the place is magnificent under the moonlight.
We manage to get ourselves the best seat in the house, where we can see the suburbs of HCM, the City and Saigon River. Breathtaking.
It's without a doubt the Best Part of the Trip.
Name of the Restaurant: Panorama 33
The next trip is to yet another underdeveloped place. I'm expecting a worse hotel with more polluted environment. I've been there so I'm not speculating.
I'm not complaining, just hoping for a miracle for my complexion.

I've signed up to Clubbox. To those who were wondering, it's a Korean Upload/Download site. I've been downloading non-stop since I registered.Anybody knows any TVXQ Clubbox groups I can join for more downloads?
Yes, I'm crazy, hot-blooded, overboard. But I've been deprived for a week in Vietnam, excuse me for that.
Btw, is TVXQ hot in Shanghai? I really hope it is... I'm not sure, but I hope it's better than Singapore.
