SHINee World VI: Perfect Illumination in Singapore

Here comes 2024 Recap number 1.

I went on 2 Mar 2024.

I posted my SHINee concert pictures arah my main IG on 6 Jun 2025.

I thought I posted them arah my second IG jua before that but apparently I didn't. 

I posted gambar merchandizes saja.

Here are some pictures to share from the concert.

Finally in the pearl aqua ocean myself. 😭

I was at the side of the stage where views were only great when they go to the center of the stage and I took picture from the back LOL

PLUS cOnew nada at this concert - masih ya hiatus. He was already on one when I bought the ticket but I was still hoping in 3 months he will appear but ovvy I was wrong. I mean, we gotta support our other members ya? 🤭

They did come to the side and waved but my views were covered by tali2 stage lights ...sigh.. 

Also for this concert, I commissioned a friend (juwapapeterie on IG) to make me some charm bracelets - coz your girl nada the barang2 to create one. I created the backing card myself at least. hehe I think I did a very good job at it.

Only problem is, I didn't get to pass them around. I was too shy and overthinking and ended up not doing anything about it. huh. I was embarrassed to share them on IG coz you know, didn't share them out kan LOL but now, I think, I'm gonna face my fears and post them here (only becoz I know no one really come here ahahah). So, I guess I'm gonna have to give these out on the next concert - with new backing card obvously..#stopoverthinking

All in all. I was a little disappointed during that concert coz:

1. my expectation was Onew is gonna be there but he wasn't. 

2. I overthink about my seat mate - I came alone and I was wondering if the girl next to me was drunk or something. Nothing wrong with her enjoying herself but I also thought 'aren't you trying a little too hard?' yeah, that was bad of me trying to gate keep SHINee from this girl when in 10 seats radius, she was the only one with the correct amount of enthusiasm for the concert while I was shying away in my seat and simply wuuhuu-ing at appropriate time. hahaha

3. I don't know man. the malay word I would choose for that concert was "hambar". but then again, that was just me. I didn't manage my own expectation.

4. Song choice. either I was losing it or I was somehow unfamiliar with so many songs. LOL I am losing touch? Am I no longer a Shawol? ahahahah Ok, maybe bukn unfamiliar but they were playing mostly my least fav SHINee songs bah..yatah aku macam, nyeh...

What I'm going to take from this experience was that I didn't have to go next time if another member is missing. Coz the goal for me was to see all four of them in a concert. My first SHINee concert I went to was back in 2011 for SMTown. also in Singapore. I missed the one in 2012 when they had their concert in Singapore on my birthday. So, all I ever wanted ever since missing that one concert is to at least go to another one before I became too old to fangirl LOL - so yeah..I don't have to go if the concert is missing a member. I can go to the next one when it's confirm all four of them is gonna be there. And sekiranya lambat lagi for a SHINee World, maybe I can go to Onew's solo concert  first in the meantime. We'll see.

Let me share some photos from the Encore, when Onew finally came out of his hiatus. 😭

Oops I did Again

Happy National Day to all Bruneians!

and it's been almost a month since I last posted here.

I swear I have no excuse.

LOL

So to start of,
I finally received my POET | ARTIST album.

Received within 3 weeks after placing my ordered.
I thought that I was gonna cry when I listened to the album in my car. Yes, I ripped open the plastic wrap as soon as I got into my car. LOL patient is not my virtue. 
I didn't cry. but I guess it's only because I've already listened to the album digitally.
(side note: to me, there's different feelings when listening to your songs; digitally (which includes Youtube), physical CD, and thru the Radio. I can't explain this into words. to me they're just different).

Are you ready for story time? :)

Now, SHINee just had their 
SHINee World 2018 The Best ~ From Now On ~ concert at Kyocera Dome, Osaka, Japan on 17th & 18th Feb.

I was never one to live stream any of SHINee concerts. I have never bother searching for a link to live streams.
I especially cautious of that this time around.
Only because, I knew there'll be lots of tears.

and man, was I right!

I avoided Instagram (my current source of Kpop news :P) for a few hours on the 17th as the concert began.
but late at night, I opened IG and already reading tons from both the fanaccount I followed and from my explore page.
I felt that tuck in my heart again.
I saw a clip of Onew barely keeping it together. from then on, I chose not to open any video and scrolled up fast when a video started playing.

I listened to two new Japanese songs and they're both nice ballads. but of course yg ku dangar atu not full version. when one of the member's voice waver or stopped singing, i skipped that video coz I know I couldn't continue listening.
*deep breath*
anyway,
the next day happened. I finally brave myself to listen to the closing song. Jonghyun voice was included.
and I shed a few tears.
It wasn't even a long video. not even 1 minute. but seeing the 4 of them like that, so kesian. 
:'(

So, when 18th Feb concert started, I was ok to watch and read fanaccounts.
and when they said SHINee members were hyper during performing hype songs, I smiled too.
I said to myself, "they are gona be ok".
BUT
ballad songs happened and they started crying again and my heart ache again.
SIGH

Well, that's the end of my storytelling.

I decided that, this year, supporting SHINee will be very tough.

I mean, of course, I will support them in any ways I can, but it will be very difficult for my heart.

I mean, how do you handle this?

. . .

since I already take picture

I ordered this album on Dec 5th 2017. and received them on 27th Dec.
Imagine how I was feeling on the 18th Dec.
"but I just ordered his album"

Can't have them? You will find a way.

Remember when SHINee was doing this collaboration?

Well, I couldn't get my hands on any of those lovely items.

So, when I planned on going to USS (stands for Universal Studio Singapore) few weeks ago, I decided that I'm gona shop at Sesame Street Gift/Souvenirs shop.

Why Elmo? coz Onew is Elmo in their collaboration.

♥╣[-_-]╠♥


When you can't get your hands on SHINee Concert's merchandises,

USS got you covered.

 . . .

Onew Goodness

Jonghyun had his Inspiration Solo Concert last Saturday in Busan

and

Onew was there to support him.

When I first saw Onew's IG post, I couldn't really make out what it was but I liked it anyway,

coz, you know, Onew's post. XP

and then afterwards, I saw people posting bits and pieces from the concert.

So, it was a selfie (￣。￣)

Seriously, Key, teach your hyung how to take proper selfie

or Onew, please get a better selfie-phone

there's also this one

awww...how thoughtful of Jongie to take care of hyung's feelings.

below image had me laughing a long time 

coz, I literally JUST thinking about Onew being introvert during that time I saw this post.

the left picture was Minho showing his support for Jongie. if I remember correctly, from clips of videos going around that time was Minho screaming or shouting like the maniac that he is (^L^)

Here's some more

How I felt at least once during SMTown in Singapore. LOL

there was video circulating on IG, i only saw 2. its the same ones anyway. it shows how Onew remain seated and completely covering himself in his winter jacket. 

I honestly felt sorry for Onew coz he really didn't want people to pay attention to him during Jongie concert. 

or I feel like he would appreciate it if people don't pay attention to him when he's just trying to watch a concert.

Applause to Onew though coz 

DID YOU KNOW how hot it is being indoor, in a concert, and have a winter jacket on?

Hot a*s fcuk!

So, applause for being ..noble?

and then there's this

King of Poker Face. and of course he know he's special. 

He precious!

(づ｡◕‿‿◕｡)づ

OR MAYBE!

he just wasn't impress.

HAAHAHAHA

OK, fine! ↁ_ↁ

the other logical explanation would be "maybe he watched it a million times before"

but seriously, what if?! you know?! HAHAHAHA

I love Jongie but SERIOUSLY

hahahahahahaha

Ok, ok. moving on \ᇂ_ᇂ\

Final screenshot that I'm gona share here would be this

kShawol are always thoughtful. 

although, I still saw one fanacct refusing to put the video down.

As much as I want to respect his privacy and all that, he is still someone famous. *shrug*

Beside that, Onew's action is applausable

He was being a good friend, a good hyung and most of all, a good leader.

You gotta love this man.

I don't know him that well, but his actions speak louder than words.

If you mean so much to him, he express more with actions than he do with words.

that's just how I feel about him.

completely irrelevant to 'knowing him well enough'.

I'm just saying what I see and read about him.

disclaimer: I don't know who Lee Jinki is. I only know who Onew is.

a/n: all screenshot are mine. although the original IG posts belong to respective owners as cropped.

. . .

Online Shopping is very dangerous

Yes

the VERY VERY dangerous.

you order, and you continue to order. 

and your money just *flies away*

but at least I got SHINee World IV socks and pouch. 

the SWCiv stationery set is not what I think it would be. I also bought OkCat chopstick (it's that 2pm Taecyeon green cat brand thingy xD). SHINee 4th album came at the same time too. 

this should last me a life time of goodies. 

I think

. . .

SHINee World Concert 4

SOOOOOOO

SWC4 has started, in Seoul 15th and 16th May. 

You have no idea just how much I wanted to cry. I want to go butttt I think I didn't want it bad enough coz I never really make an effort to find where and how to buy the ticket.
HAHAHAH
Lazy af i tell you

that is also why I became like this last night

hahaha poor baby...

SHINee's comeback starts on Monday, 18th May. 

I am exciteddddddd!!!!
already pre-order my copy! xD

 
. . .

Here come the ... spam

sorta.

hahah I told myself that I wouldn't be looking for fancams and I didn't.
Not really.
I was actually looking for a video showing the 'ocean color' during this song but found this video instead. 



cr: Kpop Boygroup 

I was surprise the boys didn't cry coz I did. I mean, argh. Shawol is awesome. 

I saw first the still image of the ocean 

and moments later i saw someone posted a video showing the ocean changed colors (Onew:Green, Jonghyun: Red, Key: Pink, Minho:Blue and Taemin: Yellow. it has been their color to indicate themselves since the 1st SHINee World concert) according to who sang during that song. It was such an amazing feeling. I would have cried a river if I was actually there. 

too bad I wasn't but I still cried. LOL

I am such a cry baby these days. and that reminds me of Usagi a.k.a Sailormoon. hahah

ah well.. point of this post is that, shawol is awesome. I couldn't find the video. maybe I Googled it wrong, I don't know. 
I guess I need to give this some times, coz let's face it, they need time to properly upload their precious fancams for us, not so lucky Shawol, to watch and leave reviews.

for now, enjoy SHINee singing live at Tokyo Dome. ;)

edited after browsing IG some more and came across explanation from urg yg actually went to the concert.

as it turned out, the Special Edition watch light memang especially design to change colors during performance. patut pun drg inda nangis. mcm, it's been planned/prepared/designed/pokoknya drg tau sudah lah. LOL ah well..feelings gone~

touch tah apa ku dsana atu...hahaha 
. . .

in honor of ...

So second day of SHINee I'm Your Boy Live Tokyo Dome edition

I did this.

hahahah

I know. the ugliest of nails you've ever seen. and I am sorry that you can't unseen this.

muahahah

well, at least, I had fun. and no, I am not going to try and attempt this again anytime soon. 
too much work. too much detail. and I just don't have the patient to.

BUTT

you can go IG and search @yagala (the one that says 'Galina' in the profile section) account for more amazing nail arts. Like, forrrrrreaaaalllll.

I would love to go and watch fancam now, but I don't think my heart can take it.

. . .

me right at this moment

SHINee Live at Tokyo Dome today.

 and also tomorrow.

Lucky Shawol be like

and then there was me.

Tunggu drg smpi ke Singapore again. I will make myself go there even if i had to swim a hundred rivers, climb a thousand walls. I will be there. (hahaha! oba~ )

Photos and GIF credit to respective owners. I'm just sharing your awesome creations. :)


. . .

another Concert

It seems like a very long time since I last post anything kpop here.

So, here goes;

SHINee annouced last Nov 1st at their I'm Your Boy concert in Hiroshima, Japan
that they are invited to do a concert at Tokyo Dome on March 14th, 2015.

Jonghyun was crying. that cry baby dino. can't he just left it in behind-the-scene thing?

(photo cr as per shown)

haha sorry, being insensitive there. he must've felt much love then. It was their long awaited dream to perform at Tokyo Dome (some kind of prestigious thing to do, like performing in Royal Albert Hall, London, I guess *shrugged*). Hence, he was crying. Key did too but more handsomely then this one. hahaha sorry dino. but come on~

anywayyyy, I was thinking, I WANNA GO! to Japan next year. visiting plus concert.

How i wish I'm super2 rich right now. 

I mean, I can't be sure if all members gonna be there, like the last concert of their SHINee World III, Onew wasn't there. I would hate to have come to the concert and one member couldn't make it.
I guess i want it to be as perfect as my first SMTown concert in Singapore. Everyone was there.

sigh.

Let us google flight tix and hotel tix for now. After I see the prices, then maybe I can decide properly.

. . .

my SHINee things

title (no pun intended. LOL)

My SHINee things. I have a collection of the SHINee World III merchandise.

Since I didn't manage to go to that concert, I figured, 'lets just bali ia punya merchandise!!'

and tada.

 the keychain

 the slogan towel

 the (not so)clear folder

and a poster.

I bought other things along too.

this is a photobook. and its English subbed!! so worth my money!

this is a calender. the year is almost over but we can still use the pictures for other things.

but the schedule book is awesome. I can be use forever. like, really. 

I love this picture (from the concert photobook). coz cOnew tangah2 and so hengsem.

*swoon*

Yeah, I made two kadai happy for those few days I went there. LOL I was so caught up in the moment when I bought them. 

Secret Box/Pop Store merchandise, anyone?
