On board SMCU Express to Kwangya

SMCU Express

7:12pm 1st Feb 2022

This was the best decision I've ever made; confirming order for SHINee version.

I mean, look at the color?

Ok, maybe not these (silver and brown) color

                                              👆but theseeee👇                                            👆

So beautiful.

I was blessed with Onew's poster, Key's photocard, and Minho's ID card. I got all three of them in one pull 😘💓

and oh before you panic, Taemin's in the army. That's why it's Onew, Key, Minho of SHINee instead of just SHINee. 💖

I appreciate SM's effort matching the associated color of their artists into this release; Boa Yellow, TVXQ Red, SuJu Blue, SNSD Pink, SHINee Aqua, EXO DarkGrey, RedVelvet SalmonPeach, NCT LimeGreen, and Aespa OmbreBluePink (and mixed becoming pastel purple).

Like for once, SHINee album (Ok, it's not really a SHINee album) is surrounded with PearlAquaGreen. I love it!

It's an entire SM artist winter album. The last time SM released a winter album was in 2011 and f(x) was in it. 

Bitter.

but this music video is love.

I really love how they included the iconic / legendary blue sky with cloud in the background!!! and of course, super duper appreciative of the respective artist associate colors in the background too.

Except for aespa's. They look too close to f(x) 's color. Pastel Purple is f(x) and to pass that color to aespa is making me feel bitter. but I try to remind myself about not to hold on to something that is out of our control.

Speaking of control. I was rewatching / watching videos of SMCU Express unboxing and that made me feel like I want to buy everyone's versions; Boa, SuJu, NCT, RedVelvet, just for the sake of having them in my collection. I mean, so colorful in their own color! 😍

shawolzenl unboxed 4. I have yet to learn her name and I just called her "cShawolZenL" 😁

There's also an SMtown version which apparently includes all the artist involve in this release. but that version's cover kinda boring? I duno. The chuchu train in the cover is great. I love the concept for this on the way to Kwangya thing. 

I was sooo 👌 close to order it from my trusty kpop merch seller BUTT

I stopped myself from ordering coz we don't need to collect ANYTHING!

SELF-CONTROL! 💰

We'll just have to enjoy them via other people unboxing videos.

I might go and buy the other member photocards and IDs tho. coz I see a lot of Onew's ID card on other people unboxing videos and I want one too. 🤷 We'll see.

From Now On

SHINee, The Best From Now On album.

released date: 18th April 2018.

Songs in this album consist of all their releases in Japan for the past 7 years.

final track on it is what everyone wanted to hear most (I think), coz Jonghyun's voice is included. 

sigh.

anyway,
have a listen. it's called From Now On



as always, when its a Japanese release, its hard to find original audio on youtube -,- So, the above is, I believe, an audio taken during one of their dome tours. 

I finally understand why this song was so emotional when they sang it back at their dome tours in Japan last February.

I finally really 'feel'.

Let's read the translation now:


If I hadn’t met you yet
What would I have been doing now?
Not even knowing the meaning of love
Where would I have strayed?
No words to describe
My surging emotions
But you, we understand each other
Always have, always will

I offer you all my love
And endless gratitude
I swear on the stars that fall from your eyes
I’ll be with you forever
I’ll be with you
I’ll be with you

Following an endless dream
Never stoping, I took the first step
Beliving only in your smile
Before I knew it, I found myself in this place

A view unattainable on my own (Watch it pass me by)
Things I can’t grasp (Won’t let go)
Together with you, I can find it (I promise you)
Let’s go on searching for it forever

I offer you all my love
And endless gratitude
I swear on the stars that fall from your eyes
I’ll be with you forever
I’ll be with you
I’ll be with you

I’ll never forget this day with you
No matter what the future holds
It’s this love that makes me
Even stronger

I offer you all my love
And endless gratitude
I swear on the stars that fall from your eyes
I’ll be with you forever
I’ll be with you
I’ll be with you
Forever

#gaddammit

why am I doing this to myself tonight?



. . .

a/n: I'm not being superstitious but I don't like the idea behind 'the best' album or yg sewaktu dengan nya for example Westlife's The Greatest Album. 
I just don't trust the idea behind it.

Diamond Sky

Annyeong!

Fancy seeing me posting on schedule, ey?

xD

I actually have some paper work to finish when I've composing this but FCUK IT! this is more important.

Sooo I was on Instagram (bila jua inda meliat instagram? LOL) and I saw this on my explore page.

*search for said 'findings' on Instagram web version* *11 mins later*

that took forever! and I am in a hurry!

again, the saying still hold its truth, 'Bila dicari, inda tia ada'

It's a video. like 3 seconds clip. of Onew. xD

*starts Googling instead* *2 minutes later*

You know what? 

*open Instagram app on phone, copy link from saved 'findings', email to myself, download it myself instead*

-_-

Such hard work this composing thing from video. I don't have the patient.

ANYHOO


hopes this video will want to load for me.

*nope! it would not load for me. thus, click here for said video*  -__-

After seeing that video, I have a new found love for this song, Diamond Sky. it's Japanese.

I love it already. I just love it more when I found out that the lyrics were actually "Be My Darling"

I never looked up the lyrics before. and I thought selama ani, that sentence was 'Be My *something Japanese*' LOL
Man! was I missing!

The fact that Onew's voice is sooooooooo chocolate melt marchmallow hotness, makes the 'Darling' sound sooooooo for me.

bahahahah

#nohateplease

Should I post lyric? of Fancam Onew Focus?

You know what?

Lets do both.

Coz this is Onew's voice appreciation post. ( I just decided on that now)

Romanized Lyric

No
Oh yeah
Mou tomodachi wo furi wa shinai
Mune ga kowaresou sa

Kimi ni okuru
Me ni wa mienai (sparkle for you)
Ai no ringu sa
In the diamond sky

Mou tada no kodomo damashi janai
Kimi wa ureshisou ni
Akireta kao de
Boku no kata ni motareta

Arifureta keshiki mo mei ga ni kaete shimau
Koi no mahou ga
Nandemonai miageta yozora
Sekai ichi no houseki ni kaeru

Be my darling, my darling
Futari sotto
Kono te wo nobashite
Be my darling, my darling
Osoroi no hoshi wo noseta
In the diamond sky
Kimi ni okuru
Kieru koto nai (sparkle for you)
Ai no ringu sa
In the diamond sky

In the diamond
In the diamond sky
In the diamond (these diamonds last forever)

In the diamond sky (in the diamond sky)

These diamonds last forever

English Translation:

No
Oh yeah
I won't pretend to be friends anymore
My heart feels like it's going to break
"I didn't tell you, but
I have always been in love with you"

If the scar of that bad sunburn
Which remained on your finger since the day
A ring fell from your left hand
Will make you cry today, too

Be my darling, my darling
Reach out your hand gently
Toward the sky
Be my darling, my darling
Put your finger on that star
In the diamond sky
I'll give it to you, something which
Cannot be seen with the eye (sparkle for you)
A ring of love
In the diamond sky

"This isn't a childish trick anymore"
You, looking happy
Leaned against my shoulder
With an amazed face

The magic of love which changes
Even a commonplace scenery into a masterpiece
Changes the night sky I've looked up at countless times
Into the brightest gem in the world

Be my darling, my darling
The two of us
Gently, reached out our hands
Be my darling, my darling
And placed them on matching stars
In the diamond sky
I'll give it to you, something which
Cannot be erased (sparkle for you)
A ring of love
In the diamond sky

I lied to myself
And became good at lying
Like this
I cannot love even myself

Be my darling, my darling
I entrust these feelings
To a shining star
Be my darling, my darling
And I want you to
Always be by my side, the glistening diamond sky

Be my darling, my darling
Reach out your hand gently
To the sky
Be my darling, my darling
Place your finger on that star
In the diamond sky
I'll give it to you, something which
Cannot be seen with the eye (sparkle for you)
A ring of love
In the diamond sky

In the diamond
In the diamond sky
In the diamond (these diamonds last forever)
In the diamond sky (sky)
In the diamond
In the diamond sky
In the diamond
In the diamond sky (in the diamond sky)

These diamonds last forever



Is this going to be a long post? I think it is. but it's ok.

FlatLays

Hello friends,
Welcome.

Last week I posted a hint for today's post.

FlatLays.

and boy, let me tell you; not. an. easy. task.

Applause to those studygram people who dedicated their IG doing these flat lays.

coz, this would be my first and only time.

LOL 

the reason why I titled this post Flat Lays was because, I wanted to share with you the things I bought during my solo trip to Singapore. it wasn't much but I think it's enough to share them in this post.

and also, coz Jessica asked for it. ≧◡≦

As you all know, I'm obsess with stationery. be it Pens, journals, note pads, markers, you name it, I gotta have them all (No, not really. I wanted them all but of course I can't have them all. ingat money tumbuh on trees?!)

So, here are the things I bought:

Not so many, right?

I thought I would find some more too.

I guess, I was still full of anxiety at that time since it was only my first solo trip. Thus, because of my anxiety, I chose not to go to the places that I had list down. ┐(‘～`；)┌

anyway, 

here's a little extra:

did I ever mention that I LOVE phone cases? 

it's one of my current delima; can't buy new phone coz I have too many phone cases for my current phone. (~￣▽￣)~

So, there you go, my stationery purchased from my Singapore Trip. 


For next post, I'm gona share with you the rest of my pen collection and others.


anticipate that and I will see you then.


ciao~

OOTD part 1

So, turned out, I did make an OOTD with my red baju.
I think I wore this first day going back to work, 29th June, after the long Hari Raya holiday.

Here's my First Raya OOTD.

and if you're wondering about my tudung (headscarf), 
yes, its the infamous Royal Duck, by ...erm, I don't know how to identify them. 

but I know the product is named dUCK, and I also know one of the founder is also the co-founder of FashionValet.com. 

LOL!

all I know when I bought the Royal Duck is that our Crown Princess, Pengiran Anak Sarah, is the creator or co-creator. and that is all, I ever cared about.


If you want to know more, you can just Google 'Royal Duck' and there should be a lot of articles on it. it was quite a scandal. either you buy it, or you don't. 

bahahaha

*shrugged* 

anyway,

please anticipate my OOTD part 2. (●´ω｀●)

hopefully soon.

. . .

a/n: Sekali kan, our Open Office is not on 12th July. ᇂﮌᇂ)
It's been put on hold coz other unit is currently in a middle of system testing/upgrade/moving,etc. So yeah, no OOTD made on the 12th. :P


. . .

ELEVENTH MONTH

and i still have not done shit.

hahaha

but something awesome finally happened,

Onew's abs finally showed up. albeit accidentally.


















☼.☼

the fact that Professor McGonagall was used here makes me so happy 
(~￣▽￣)~

(╯3╰)

(｡♥‿♥｡)












BUTT the next day, Onew tucked in his shirt ( ･_･)

It was nice while it lasted.

hahaha

you bet your ass I'm saving all that on my phone. ヘ(^_^ヘ)

Minho also told the fan to patiently wait for Onew's abs. Minho also mentioned, "Soon".

you know what my initial thought was?

I don't want to see Onew's abs. not in an MV.

I don't know. I have this mindset already yg I respect Onew's wishes not to show case his abs to the world and his words from the last concert, "the more you ask, the more I won't show it" are already embedded in my brain. Like, it's ok that he's not showing it to anyone.

coz he's saving his glorious abs for his future wife

a.k.a. ME

bahahahahaa

#saklieh


anyway,
bulan November dah, where has the time go?

 . . .

Tsk

that one time SHINee acted like they have not been fed for days

but still cute as fck

and ain't we have a lot in common? *naik2 kirai*

hmm, I think this comment was the reason he was cast in that Eat Sleep Eat tv show.

. . .

Seriously

to all my friends yg kan go Korea sometime in the future

can you help a friend out?

singgah kamu sekajab ke SM punya SUM shop

and 

buy me these casing?!

I mean,

PLEASE???????

coz it's so hard finding SHINee casing anywhere! 

ESPECIALLY for my iphone 6 plus.

they don't seem to be making one for it.

seriously

. . .

hehehe Nail time

welp.
not a throwback post, thats for sure.

Not rajin enough kan dig my archive today. 

the ones yg I jot down was only for the month of July.
I haven't do any homework for August

If you've been reading my blog since forever, you'd know this would happen.

*laugh out loud*

an-ny-way

it took me long enough to realize that I really love playing with nail polish but I can't stand them staying on my nails for longer than a day!
I mean, I love the outcome but that is it, after I took picture, I usually removed them.

like this one,
I finally get the hang of using the nail art stamp thingy





I mean,
don't look at my fingers
focus on the art!

and the color and stamp design are inspired by

jeng jeng jeng

SHINee

*throws confetti*

the heart shape is just my love for SHINee (heart heart baby~)
the music notes is I love their music 
the Balloon is for their Japanese song 1000 Years Always By your Side
the air balloon is also for their Japanese song Lucky Star
and the butterfly is...just how beautiful SHINee had grown over the years (aseh! padahal I just thought of this now. hahahahah in all actual-ness, the butterfly was because I ran out of thing to stamp that is SHINee- related. come to think of it, 'areumdaun nabi' beautiful butterfly. an EXO song. LOL! well actual name 나비소뇨/Butterfly Girl and on my itunes I can only see Don't Go)

ANYWAY!

these didn't even survive the night. after I took picture, I removed them. 
hahaha

So much for being happy that I finally managed to nail-stamp properly 
>‿‿◕ 


alrighty then,
that is all for tonight.

I see you on my next post.

byeeee

Collections cShawol

Shawol at Heart lah kononnya.

So, been trying to collect SHINee World Theme Color; I don't know which one but Pearl Aqua Green/Pearl Aqua. sekali imbas, If i want to be a boy, dua2 light-blue-towards-greenish-color plang tu. LOL

read this article here, very interesting read. and she was right, SHINee never called their Shawol by colors like how Super Junior often called ELF, 'Sapphire Blue'.

So, my collection so far are these four items; Phone Casing, Ruler (yes, a ruler. Don't ask. obsess fan alert) and a name tag/pin. 

eh. salah picture. (esen ku, aku kn show off gambar future husband ku wawawawa)

see below please

wait, just three?? Pandai mengira inda cAz ani? LOL! Three it is! 

I hope to expand this collections. maybe turned it into my favorite color one day!

Well, inda lah kali but who knows man. Maybe if I bought enough stuff in that color, maybe it will become my favs. xD we'll see.

Next one I want to be is that Light Stick. the one from Japan Arena Tour. 

harga ebay and harga arah kadai dMall atu kurang labih jua. I hope alum akan bali. :S
