SaengIlChukaHamNiDa!!!!!!!!

KIM JAEJOONG SARANGHAE!!!
Oops! Caught me red-handed. I'm late by a week. But better late than never ya?
This pretty boy is more than meets the eye.
A fashionista with sweet vocals.
People say his face doesn't match his body.
He's TVXQ's muscle man.
And TVXQ's Ink-man.
But behind all the masculine, all I see is this cutie pie shining from within.
Happy Birthday Jaejoong Oppa!
No matter how much things have changed recently, I still think you're an excellent singer, artiste and star.
Youngwoong Jaejoong Fighting!
Annyoung!!!

Annyoung

Annyoung means 安祥 in Korean.
(Not sure if I got the chinese words right, but you get what I mean.)

In a Korean context, this word may not fit my mood for tonight. But in a Chinese context, it aptly describes how I feel right now.

In less than a month's time, it'd have been 3 years since I last saw her. Life has been enriching and fulfilling and I believe I've lived up to her expectations of me. I've not been a let down, on the contrary, I'm exactly what she wanted me to be, an Undergraduate preparing for war in the society.

Up till now, especially when I'm alone, even when I'm overseas, I'd have wished that she could see me graduate, and prove to her that I'm not a disappointment at all.

I once thought she could be there for me even until the day I get married...

In any case, let's cheer up and pull up our socks so we can bravely say Annyoung to the people we miss.

Like what my uncle once said, "She has slogged for so many decades. As long as her departure is peaceful and painless, that's all that matters."

Untitled

While everybody is kicking out 2008 and celebrating 2009, Na sits in her living room starring blankly at the TV, getting occasional mental shocks, as if I've an assignment due tomorrow that's incomplete. My brother says it's because 2008 is ending and I must have things undone that I should have done.
Whatever.

This is it.
This must be it.

That's it?
My Darlings flew over to Japan for a mere 3 minutes screen time and their segment was suppose to be the 2nd most anticipated performance for Japan's Kouhaku Festival.
Their stage time on SBS Gayo Daejun was at least 3 times more than that!
At least that see-through outfit that revealed Changmin's *ahem* made it a little more tasteful.

Right on the day of TVXQ's last performance in Korea before leaving for Japan, my stomach started getting sick. I thought it was protesting against TVXQ's departure, but my brother says it's because of the food I ate the day before.

Then Na went: BUT I ONLY HAD 1 MEAL YESTERDAY AND IT WAS AT GOODWOOD PARK HOTEL'S HIGH TEA THAT COSTED NEARLY SGD70 PER PAX!!!!!! HOW IS IT POSSIBLE TO KENA FOOD POISONING FROM SO EXPENSIVE CHAR KWAY TEOW AND CHEE CHEONG FAN!!!!

So Na still concludes: My stomach is upset about TVXQ's return to Japan. Although the activities still continue, but returning to Japan would mean they are closer to the BigEast, they are Tohoshinki, they can't be as respected and as comfortable as they are in Korea.

Not to mention, Bolero, their upcoming Japanese Single has yet to be released but the release date of their next untitled single has already been announced to be somewhere around march (can't remember the date too clearly). I'm so gonna miss DongBangShinKi.
Maybe I should switch to take up Japanese classes instead.

And right after Na blogs about not having 3rd Asia Tour, SM announces TVXQ's 3rd Asia Tour in Seoul on 20-22 February. They might actually celebrate Changmin's birthday on the first opening concert. Sigh.
Other destinations were not announced, but what are the chances of TVXQ going to Australia...... Oh wait.. Australia isn't even part of Asia.......... right?
It'll be another concert that Na can't attend, cuz she'll be stuck in the country that is geographically secluded from the rest of the world. Dang!

And to cheer myself up,

Also dedicated to all those spending the New Year at home, and needs a cheer-me-up funny video.

Na's New Year Resolution:
Same as last year's and the previous year's and hopefully not the next year's.

Less is More

This is the Best chance to teach ALL the Hoobaes what the phrase "Less Is More" really means.

Yunho's performance in Gayo Daejeon's dance battle was expected of him.
But it's only after watching the hoobaes dances that got me screaming and melting in joy.


That silvery guy in a mask (if you cannot spot his few seconds of screen time) is Junsu's bestie, Eunhyuk.
I must say, after Yunho, he's the most impressive dancer on stage. That masked Jabawockees-inspired put up was excellent.
And just when I thought 2PM's Jaebum was pretty impressive as well, I spotted at least 3 Rain's dance moves in his choreo.... oh wait! Those must be JYP's moves imparted to his diciples! Chey!

Yunho's accuracy, precision, sense of rhythm and slick moves is definitely the winner. Even a non-biased passer-by would agree with me.

And there goes Junsu's shortlived moment on Na's No.1 spot.

JUNSU NAILED IT!!!!

Is Junsu my No.1 now???
Now I know why they chose Junsu for the Piano battle.

Yes! Taeyang!! You WON't Ever Dare to TRY ANYMORE!!!!
Taeyang's reaction after Junsu's performance clearly proved the winner for this battle.
I'm sooooo interested to hear Junsu singing to Taeyang's song.
When Junsu finished pulling the "Everythiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing" note, I'm sure all TVXQ fans would have a sigh of relief.

Na said: That's It!! That's It!! That's the note that makes Junsu Everything!!!!
Na says: Junsu Is My Everything, period.
*Na quivers*

Is it just me, or did anyone else realise the freakily familiar voices in Junsu's background back-up singers' voices??

And our ultimate sexy Yunho

Please don't say his dance is all the same.
He is already the best and yet he is still improving.
Undeniably our Undeafeatable Perfect Yunho shi.

And then we have Wonder Boys Part 2.
Na thinks: Jokwon *Goosebumps*

*Na sees Jokwon* *Na pukes inside mouth*
SoHee was so tickled when Maknae Taemin started singing her line. Classic.
Shindong is Wonder Boy's leader??
But I do love the Macho irony in the entire performance of "Nobody". Hilarious.
Although I'm alittle astonished at how Jokwon looks even more scary in the Macho segment. *Trembles*

Then.....
Bared-backs!!!!!!!!!!! Jaejoong's Tattoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Muscles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HoSu Dance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*Na squirms around the world wide web for download links*

And this ends TVXQ's stay in Korea.
*Hears puffs of sigh from all my Dong Bang Comrades*
Which really is a Magnificent note because they proved themselves to be the Undefeatable/Irreplaceable Power Overload Boyband of Korea.

Although Na is still curious as to why Rising Sun had an Concert Tour, O.J.B.H. had an Asia Tour, but Mirotic seemed to end pretty quickly.
And then it dawned upon Na that there are too many reasons to explain the absence of Mirotic Asia Tour:
1. O.J.B.H.'s Asia Tour dragged on for 1.5 years,
2. which probably caused the delay in the release of Mirotic.
3. TVXQ has too much on their hands being at the peak of their Japan career. It's only wise to return to Japan asap before BigEast get sick of waiting.
4. TVXQ is in demand in every country, especially Japan. From previous experiences, LSM must have calculated the opportunity cost of going on an Asia Tour and neglecting the BigEast Money Tree.
5. TVXQ is turning into Bitch of Asia, who is literally Bitch of USJapan, neglecting all parts of the world except the cash/opportunity richer land.

Somewhere inside Na is praying for a Mirotic Asia Tour so that there'll be a slim chance for TVXQ to land on the small Island of Singapore to fulfil my lifelong dream.....

Happy 5th Anniversary

In a blink of an eye, DongBangShinKi is about to step into their 6th year in the entertainment business.

Chukahamnida My Darlings!

26th December 2003 was the birth of Na's Ray of Hope.

From pure innocence of 2004,
Trying very hard to portray a masculine image despite having such feminine features.
And as their popularity begin to rise,
In 2005,
They start to lose their baby fats.
Venturing in Japan wasn't all smooth sailing at all.
And 2006 would prove their undying fame in Korea and growing recognition in Japan.
2006/2007 was when they finally manage to breakthrough in their career.
Achieved overwhelming turn outs in their live tours,
And conquering the charts in Japan.
After attaining fame and glory in the land of the rising sun, in 2008, the Gods of the Rising East can finally return home with pride.And at the end of 2008, their invitations to both countries' major year end events once again proved their popularity in the East.
Before we start counting down to the last second of 2008, they've already stormed Asia with a series of magazine shots due in Jan 2009.
And I'm pretty sure our 5 Gods will stay with us till eternity.Merry Christmas and Happy 5th Anniversary DongBangShinKi!
Saranghae ^^
