[Fanmeeting] 101204 SS501' Kim Hyun Joong 金賢重 Fans Gathering @ Malaysia

I was quite far at the back coz I didn't buy the RM300 worth THEFACESHOP product to qualify me for the special entry.. but his magnificent aura cut through the crowd and still managed to hit me right where my heart is. It's my first time following an idoru to this extent and I'm still shaken by the experience. Felt like I was walking on air right afterwards.. and up till today, I still can't believe I've actually seen hyung live.



He exists! He really does exist!!! Hyung is not just a figment of my imagination!

Rant section:

• The organizers really have to work harder next time if they want to give the best experience for the fans of a star of his stature. Quite a lot of the fans were complaining loudly whenever we were pushed to and fro by Pavillion customers who wandered into the venue. Me? I was too busy grinning / giggling / screaming and enjoying my first fanmeet experience to complain about anything, really
• Where was this event held... Singapore? Taiwan? China? Wasn't this venue in Kuala Lumpur, the capital city of Malaysia? Where's our national language? Look at the US... do the Asian Americans there use their own diverse languages in a public event? Nope.. they use standard American English. Ours is the only country in the world whose people are embarrassed to use their own national language... huh

Hyung-nim said he'll come here again to promote his first solo album. I want to work hard to get in the signing queue. Hope the date won't clash with any work-related events or my diving schedule... please, please, please. I want to see him right in front of my face this time. If I can have that experience, do you think I'll survive it? Will I faint when I see him smile at me? Kyaaaaaaaa! Just the thought of him smiling at me that up close is making me giddy... LOL

He's coming here next month!!! \(^o^)/

Can you believe that?? I literally shrieked and jumped around when I first stumbled on the news!! Then spazzed about it to hubby... (so glad he's so into BOF now coz I can talk about hyung to him anytime I want.. hehe *happy wife*)

He is set to make a two-day visit to Malaysia (as part of his Asia Tour) on Dec 4 and 5 and this will make it his third time visiting our country. What is it about Malaysia that hyung has been here so many times? Not that I'm complaining. Compare that to Gackt who doesn't even want to acknowledge places other than Taiwan, China, Hong Kong, European countries, and the US of A.. I'm ecstatic that at least one of my harem guys know we exist. Actually two.. coz Shah Rukh has been here many times too. I miss him. When is Ra-One coming out?

Who's going? I don't think I can be one of the lucky winners to get in and obtain his autograph but I do want to be in the same building as he is when he's visiting. Must scout the perimeter of this strange and unexplored area called the Pavillion.. get to know the entrances and exits, find out where he'll be holding court, etc. Must I do this alone? I wish I have a partner-in-crime. Dang. None of my friends is obsessed with Kim Hyun Joong enough to be a Stalkers UNITE! member alongside me.

Rather than look up the various blogs and news site to find out about the event, I suggest you look up the official The Face Shop facebook. You'll less likely to be led astray and you can contact them in case there are further inquiries. But jakamman yo.. what is this 'fan gathering event' about? Who's organizing it? Do we have to get tickets for it or something? The announcement is quite vague.

I've been using this low profile, not very popular internationally, nice product that I'm into simply because of its name. I like its name so I became a regular customer.. hehe. I wonder if I have to switch to The Face Shop now. For a > RM50 purchase, I need to think about this carefully. I don't want to get into a product I'm not gonna use later. Anyway, I leave you with hyung's lovely countenance to whet your appetite while waiting for D'days to arrive.

Only the Strong... the movie that got the world started on the Capoeira craze

Mark Dacascos will always be the man who introduced Capoeira to us: my siblings, my country, heck... the world! It's thanks to this movie that the beautiful art became a craze among martial arts enthusiasts. I remember how my big brother, who's the one responsible for introducing me to the love of martial arts, was so gung-ho about it. And I love to dance, so naturally it attracts me ..the beauty and the savagery of it all... although unfortunately I'm too self-conscious to actually immerse myself in it. When Mr. Stevens took a hold of that 'parang' (or short sword) in the final fight, it just hit you with a bang that this is actually a deadly sports if taken into that territory... not just a few kids having fun jumping and somersaulting around a room without a clue.

The movie was in 1993. And no one knew at the time that it's going to start a culture around the world... certainly no one in Malaysia predicted that the culture is strong enough to open a Capoeira school in Kuala Lumpur in 2007. It's called Escola Brasileira de Capoeira, or The Brazilian School of Capoeira (EBC) and the classes are held in several places. There's even a drop-in session, so it's perfect for people who want to try it out and see whether it suits them or not. Check out the website link I pasted for more details. One of this days, I'd probably go to one of them myself and watch a few demos.
