2026, in search of Happiness. If it means enjoying every little trinkets and stationery on the daily, then so be it. Coz temporary happiness, is still happiness.
Suho released his 1st mini album, Self-Portrait, on 30th Mar 2020.
and it made remember why I appreciate his vocal. Please be reminded that he was in musical theater production before. To me, being in a musical theater production proves you have a vocal prowess.
anyhoo,
in his album, there's a song with the title Starry Night.
I'm freaking out becoz I was starting with my Pretty Little Liars again, the first book from the fourth and final arch, Crushed, and I just finished the chapter (spoiler alert!!) where Aria stole the Starry night painting. like! *GASPPPPPPP what a coincident!
but after that I was like, "nyeh"
ANOTHER coincidence! I had my music playing on my phone at that time and the next few song after Suho's Starry Night was BoA's Starry Night. and I thought, "Whats with SM and Starry Night eh?"
and then much much later, came Onew's 밤과 별의 노래 (Starry Night), from SM Station released, a duet with Lee Jin Ah.
like, whaaaaaaaaa
hahaha I don't know I'm making such a big deal out of this but I guess I'm a true 00s kid who grew up watching MTV. There was once a set where they played 3 videos back to back becoz all three videos have one thing in common. eg: Laundry machine place. and this is exactly what I'm doing right now: 3 songs with similar title. all under SM Ent. LOL
but I was mostly excited about that crazy coincidence between Suho's Starry Night and PrettyLittleLiar's Crushed.
Hi guys! I thought of this topic as I was writing the post with Sulli's solo; My first kpop comeback from my favorite. My first comebacks for a few favorites; SuJu, SHINee, f(x), BoA, Girls'Generation. Here's what Comeback means:
When I said 'my first', I meant the comeback that I actually looking forward to watch on KBS (the only Korean Channel available in our TV cable) 's Music Bank (a Korean music show) after I get to know the group and listening to what ever they have released prior to that comeback. So, let's go! 1. Super Junior - No Other. Ok, so, I was looking at their Single list on wiki and my first comeback should've been It's You. coz I was obsessing over SuJu since Sorry Sorry but I guess, I was just obsessing and didn't really understand the concept of Korean Music Show until No Other came out. No Other wasn't even a title song, it was from the Repackaged one. I remember the last stage they did of this song was when SHINee made a comeback with Lucifer. I remember becoz Leeteuk shouted "SHINee Comeback. something something..hwaiting" during the stage. LOL sorry, I don't understand Korean much.. Let's share that video
dam! I missed 2nd Gen group. and SuJu is my first Kpop group. Oppa-deul, saranghae 2. SHINee - Lucifer Ok, this obviously related to the above. I was beginning to obsess over SHINee at this point coz I was obsessing over SHINee Hello Baby. I'm not sure if it was but this song reminds me of how I started investing to much time and money on SMTown.
ohhhh SHINee performed first, then SuJu, coz, Goodbye Stage. Ok, understand. 3. f(x) - Danger Ok, this one kinda hazey but I remember obsessing (yes, I'm easily obsessed!) over this song the same time I obsessed with SHINee and SMTown concert. or somewhere along that road. f(x) is the first Kpop girl group that I really like.
Now I remember how the idea of this post came to me. the GIF I used on previous post was taken from f(x) Official MV for Danger. 4. Girls' Generation - The Boys I'm telling you, this list is base on that year SMTown became so big and doing world tours. around 2010/2011. The year I become full kpop stan! I wrecked my brain for stories behind this choice and actually, OH! was the first comeback I followed but only thru the Music Video. Does that count? maybe. but let's stick to comeback stages, yeah? (my list, my rules muahahaha)
I'm reminded to why Hyoyeon become my bias. Her rap here. sharp! 5. BoA - Hurricane Venus this probably was everyone's first comeback of BoA after a while. becoz this was five years after her last Korean album released. I remember watching this and thought, "that's how you do live" coz I was so used to watching her (via youtube of course) live in concert.
it was such a good performance! No one can beat this Queen. She does more live concert than live music shows! I think that is enough for this post, yes? I did say mini. So, hope you enjoy this share and maybe can share your favorite kpop comeback stage too in the comment box below. for now, ciao~ . . .
Hi guys. In light of the previous post with NCT light sticks, I thought I will share with you the rest of SM's artists official light stick. why? Just becoz.

SOOOO! SM is fcuking bias! EXO got 2 versions?! and BoA, their GODDESS? only got hers after 18 years since debut?! FU SM! but also thank you. Especially for SHINee's light stick. Fans said SM only managed to come up with awesome design is becoz SM had to complete with Japanese concerts' light sticks. hahahah and let's us all laugh once again in regards to f(x)'s non-existent promo.
also SM also made official electrical fan:
and I noticed that the electrical fan doesn't have BoA's, there's f(x) instead! yayy! that purple/lilac color cought my eyes! Anyways, whose your favorite among these awesome lightstick? mine is obviously SHINee's. Red Velvet's dimsum lightstick comes second. I have the need to mention this; Taeyeon said GG's lightstick looks like tooth. LOL! Ok, that is all I have for this post. Until next post, Jaane~ . . .
Coz I am jobless and hating my job (plus a certain someone) to death (╹◡╹)凸
I am making myself busy by trying to memorize this song by the end of this week.
This song was supposed to be easy because it has so much English that I don't understand why is it not in English saja? щ（ﾟДﾟщ）
But it's not easy. I'm always off key during the chorus (not saying I wasn't during any other part of the song; it's just I am more off-key-err during the chorus). and I really don't know how I else I should do it.
I only just realize that I actually have the minus one (meaning the karaoke version or on the official Track List says 'Close To Me (Inst)' Inst being instrument only) version of this song! Now I can record myself (as I usually do when I'm "memorizing" a song) and pretended that I'm in some kind of a studio, recording my new single (n˘v˘•)¬ Currently I've recorded two and I'm not very happy with the outcome.
Practice makes perfect they said.
But I say, lets just give it a rest for tonight and try again ...say, next month.
ahahahaha
So for now, enjoy.
Here's the romanized lyrics for you to read.
Let's memorize together! xD
Sitting alone kabe ni motare reminiscing
Taiyo falling thru kigi no suki ma kara
Now I'm so sorry Konnanimo afure teru
Amai kaori ni
kizuite you're my something I'll be next to you
Am I getting too close? I just want you to stay
Zutto isshoda yo and don't go away
you're always here with me Ima, ai no uta ryute tsutsumikonde hanasanaide
Sono nukumori o kawarazu ni
Now I'm getting you close to me
Mayoikonda koneko no yo It's embarrassing
Kako mo, ima mo, mirai everyday
I'm looking at pictures and know you and then donna ni datte
Aoku tada so clear
Kizuite you're my something I'll be next to you
Am I getting too close? I just want you to stay
Zutto isshoda yo and don't go away
You're always here with me imma ai no uta ryute tsutsumikonde hanasanaide
Sono nukumori o kawarazu ni
now I'm getting you close to me
You are the sin, you are the light
You are in my perfect picture, here I am
mo hitostu can I ask
Oh am I getting too close
I just want you to stay zutto isshoda yo and don't go away
you're always here with mr imma ai no uta ryute tsutsumikonde hanasanaide
Sono nukumori o kawarazu ni
and now I'm getting you close to me (close to me)
oh I'll be next to you now I'm getting you close to me
Here's also the live version
I have a love/hate thing with this live version. i hate it coz she used too much nostril voice. I love it coz towards the end when she builds up the song, it's her awesome live voice that made me love her so much! but no matter, you gotta respect BoA for getting where she is now. I know she deserves it. I'm not really a 'constant' fan of hers but from where I've been following her up until now, I've seen her hard work and versatility. I just hope she will stop trying so hard to break it into the US (as in becoming English). She is great where she is now, she should focus on that. I'm not saying she shouldn't try at all. I'm saying stop 'trying too hard' and lose focus. that's all I'm saying. Remember her Make Your Move movie? BoA was the female lead and at one point the movie was just trying so hard to make this Aya's character 'awesome' like she can switch languages without trouble; speaking Japanese to her friend and then spoke Korean with her brother in the same conversation. It's just, maybe not the best way to sell a movie? I don't know. Critical Analyzing maybe one of the Sept characteristics but Music/Movie business isn't really my forte so, imma shut dap now. Maybe I should try and stay focus instead~(◠﹏⊙✿) . . .
was looking thru my old album and found these videos from Nov 2012.
SMTown in Singapore!
BEST. DAY. EVER!
I don't know if it'll load this time around but imma try.
IMPORTANT:forgive the excitement/fangirling moments. (LOL!) and also, not a pro at taking fan came. it was the best I could captured. there were a lot of movements. but Enjoy! anyway.
SNSD - Kissing You
I remember just how far away our seats were but it was all worth it! I regret nothing!
BoA - Only One
I was laughing so hard listening to myself screamed 'WOA! bukan cTaemin' and back then I didn't recognize him but it was actually Sehun of EXO dancing with BoA (the 'solo' dance thingy). it started raining (heavily) time cBoA atu. and it got worse and worse.
f(x) - Electric Shock
especially time c f(x). many people were leaving during Electric Shock. Zawir even suggested we left early too and I remember yg I almost nangis coz I don't wna leave just yet. LOL I know I caught it on camera. I think during Super Junior.Jan th di upload tu. hahaha
SMTown - Hope (part 1)
This right here is my most precious video EVER! Coz, weeks before the concert, I was like, mengHafal this song (and also Dear My Family - I Am OST but this one nada drg perform -.- ngaleh ja ku ngapal tu) and was super excited when they performed it last2 atu. Lucky we didn't leave early coz rain eventually stopped during the finale. and we got to scream out lungs out none stop. LOL a/n: part two refused to load. too big kali. ngaleh ku -.- oah well.. You must be wondering mana video SHINee ku. ahaha ada. ganya, not my fav song bah. yatah malas ku kn upload. hengsem plang drg atu. semestinya! bh upload sja chia. dengan intention untuk 'sharing'. Take out with full credit. aseh! inda jua berapa video ku ani. Low Quality berabis. LOL
SHINee - Sherlock
I don't have EXO. except cSehun with BoA. msa tu alum minat lagi arah EXO. they were still 'fresh'.
I could load all my nonsense fancam but the above took all night and subuh. *yawnz* maybe next time? hehe look forward to it. ;)
a/n: YAY! MAU DI LOAD! HAPPY KU! though not all but still!! YAY! . . .
weeks leading up to the SMTown concert in Singapore,
I 'studied' two important songs; Dear My Family and Hope.
why? because I wana sing-a-long with them. ahaha
wana know how it turns out?
i/they didn't nyanyi Dear My Family at the beginning of the concert. f(x) came out and sang Hot Summer instead.
ii/as expected, they sang Hope at the end of the concert but I was too busy searching for cOnew with my naked eyes to sing-a-long with them. (but i did sang Changmin's high-note like a boss..LOL)
(seriously, I'm brain dead right now. mcm, inda ku tau cna kn mengcompose post ani. LOL!! anyway~~) lets post up a couple of vids here.
1. Dear My Family (where I 'study' the lyrics)
2. Hope (I apologize my lovely readers. I wanted to upload my own vid but i duno how n when I did try, it refused to upload. So, i'll just post fancams yg dari youtube sja. its basically the same..eheh)
I'm a tat bit disappointed right now coz the vid wont load. masmeah~
BoA's Hope. I duno apa meaningnya but I still like it, esp ending part. I once read in an article that BoA admitted that she's having problems with high notes and this new album of hers proves just that (as in she hardly have a very high note to reach). Not that it's a bad thing. it just shows that she could still make it with hard work. I still think she has a beautiful voice. the fact that she openly said that she's 20% talent and 80% hard work make me respect her more. BoA jjang!! . . .
