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. 😭

Credit goes to respective owners of these lovely photos (some has watermarks)

BuJo June Theme

it's late, I know, but I thought, "post this now or you never will"

So, here it is, my June Theme.

again, following AmandaRachLee's theme. I was mostly drawn in becoz of the color; Pink and MINT.

Ok, I was surprise at how many pages I used to make this. 7 pages! 

also, good. I can use up this book/journal faster. wuuhoo!

oh i just love flipping thru these seven pages. so pretty 😍🍡🌸

on unrelated note:

Current favorite song: Suho's Made In You.

. . .

my favorite color

Hi!

proper greetings this time. 👋🏼

took me a while to start this one coz I was checking whether I have made this kind of post before or not. but couldn't find anything on it. So, here we are.

...30 years laterr...
I found the post. I mentioned my 3 favorite color in here. I'm afraid I'm gonna contradict myself about how Purple isn't Male-related LOL.

My favorite color. hmm 🤔 It goes from liking Lime Green, to Colors, to Purple, to Orange, then to Mint, then anything Pastel, then Yellow. I mean, I don't know how people can have just one favorite color.

The reason why I have so many is becoz, back in high school, I remembered feeling very envy with other friends; they be buying cute items from this Knic Knac shop with their favorite color and i couldn't buy any coz they didn't have that cute thing in my favorite color, Lime Green. Apparently, Green isn't a color for a girl?
I think from that moment on, I try looking for my next favorite color, you know, just in case the no.1 color isn't available.
WHO MADE THE RULE TO ONLY BUY SOMETHING IN YOUR FAVORITE COLOR? AND KALAU NADA YOUR FAVORITE COLOR, YOU KENOT BUY? WHO?!

but that was before. I'm all grown up now and have a shopping problem. BHAHAHAAHA

sigh

anyway, my favorite colors. Lets discuss.

Pink

90s Power Ranger. Pink Ranger. Kimberly. oh how I love pink ranger! but I have to mengalah with my cousin, and ended up liking Yellow Ranger. coz she the other female ranger.
Then fast forward to high school. oh how I hate pink. coz a classmate was sooo minat Pink that everything she owned was pink. argh. but I guess I was just jealous LOL coz I wasn't 'supported' to buy whatever I want.
That was then. Now I like pink. in pastel. coz its prettier. rose gold is another shade of pink and is prettier.

Light / Lime Green

ok. this one is funny. I only like it coz I was following my sister. this is also during my highshool period. I remember she had all her stationery and books' wrap in that Lime Green color. and I was following everything she did. coz I always want to be my sister. *cue Ashlee Simpson - Shadow. LOL I think I was in that Lime Green phase during Form 5, Lower and Upper Six.
I stopped liking it tho.
but now I'm accepting it again.
coz

NCT!

Purple

This was when I began understanding that favorite color is supposed to be your own. and I remember thinking, what can I buy that represent Harry Potter? This was before the existent of Pottermore and its House Sorting. At that time I, as everybody else's too I'm sure, a Gryffindor, which is red but I don't want that to be my favorite color, so I rack my brain and came up with purple coz in book 1, Dumbledore was wearing a Purple robe.
LOL
still one of my favorite color now but the only reason i avoided it, if I can help it is becoz I don't like seeing one color in my wardrobe.

Orange

Onew. I wasn't able to buy official merchandise and I was looking for things that I can relate to Onew. and he was one of the MC on a show and his 'jacket' was orange color (other MCs were wearing diffent color from each other too). so orange.
I seldom choose this color nowadays.

Mint

SHINee World. Official merchandises are expensive as fuck. Suho mentioned recently, "capitalism". dam right it is. anyway, Instead of crying over that official SHINee phone case I can't afford, I ended up buying one that is just SHINee color.
still my favorite now. Its funny, coz this color is associated with 'aesthetic' stationery color for some reason. hence, easier to get my hands on. 👍🏼

Yellow

Now, this is from Pottermore. I was sorted once before (not Pottermore) into Ravenclaw but that was before I started picking colors that have some relation to my favorite things. Ravenclaw is blue by the way. So, Pottermore sorted me into Hufflepuff. My initial feeling was 'so I'm not a Gryffindor worthy' but soon after I'm like HASHTAG HOUSEPRIDE BITCHESSS! lol again, official merchandises are expensive as fucckkk and instead of stressing over that, I bought color that associates with my house color. Yellow.
THANK GOD for primark and online seller! #youthemvp
come to think of it, I once choose yellow coz Onew wore yellow jacket twice. Yes, i'm that crazy. hahaha

Peach 🍑

this is definitely becoz of that Ice Peach tea drink. I don't know what Peach the fruit real color is. I don't think it as pink as the emoji indicates. but I like that color. I think this is the pink that makes me like pink again. Then, I bought the Too Faced Sweet Peach Pallette. then that Nivea Delicious Drop Peach&Vanilla flavor lipbalm. then Jaehyun.

BONUS:

Red

*cue Taylor Swift - Red
LOL this one is the most random. I only ever pick this color when I'm buying gadget or its accessories. I know it started with that Sony Ericson w760 Walkman I once had. It wasn't entirely red but it accent was. I bought my sony viao, back then, in red coz it matched with my phone. I wanted to buy a red car just so it matched my phone and laptop. I didn't get to tho.
Now, I owned red laptop and a red car. but really, not becoz its my favorite. I can't put this color in my favorite list actually. Red color is more sentimental to me. My dad used to have a red car. Hmm.. I think that is why. That second last sentence, honestly, just pop up to the top of my head. huh



There ya go. What's behind the color that I pick.
but if you see me picking up color that is not in this list, its becoz its the only nice color that I can pick. Why my color not being there stop me from picking it up/ buying the thing, right? If you needed it, you just gonna deal with the color choices the kadai provides. 😜

What's your color story?

Hi guys.

I thought, from the previous post, I should give a shout out to this mini shop I come across in Instagram.

It is called Hoppop.id

Being the avid watcher of my explore page, I came across this post.

A post shared by SHINee GOODS (@hoppop.id) on Dec 30, 2018 at 9:42am PST

I fell in love with the chicken bucket at first sight. LOL

and I fell in love with the design/idea behind the art! When i first check her account, she mostly made Onew's, which made me so happy!
I don't know about you but for some reason it was hard for me to find Onew's fanmade goodies anywhere! I mean goodies that I want to purchase anyway. or can afford. ⊂•⊃_⊂•⊃
That is why, when I saw her post, I ask how can i order straight away and was relief it was quite easy transaction. I mean, easy as in, not so much hassle. LOL I shall explain that anxiety ridden some other time.

After sleeping on it, I finally decided to blow up my wallet and ordered these!

it took about 2 weeks to arrive. 

but with one defected item: the phone case. I ordered for iphone6plus but the one yg arrived was for iphone6.

I was a tat bit disappointed and like I often do, I initially decided to just let it go. it was just a phone case. 
BUT it was one of the thing I really looking forward to having! and use!
So, I woman up and DM-ed the owner.

I informed her my items safely arrived and thank her for her hard work (aseh! so k-pop-ish text! LOL) "but," I began. and continued telling her about the phone case. 
and you know what? she was quite sweet about it. She apologized saying it must be some mixed up. She even asked if it's just not fitting with my phone or if it's for iphone6. 
I kinda made a face when she asked this but of course, she was just trying to do her job, and asked if I want a refund.
I made some more faces.
I told her I would love if she could resend a correct one instead?

I was actually scared that she would say 'no' or asked me to pay some more for shipping. But I come to my senses that as a customer, I think I have the right to ask her to send me the correct phone case.

Luckily for me, she's a good seller and she agreed to send me the correct phone case and not to worry about it.
Of course, I excessively thank her for her prompt respond.

Honestly, I was not worried. I was just sad that I couldn't use the phone case sooner.
LOL

but the correct phone case finally arrived! like, a month later. but what can you do. 

I LOVE ALL OF THEM!

She included a sticker set in the first shipment and also a pin button of Onew's Eyes On You. who doesn't like free gifts?! 
I especially love the bunny ears sticker she put on every box and bubble wrapper. So, Onew!

Since my purchased, she continued on doing some more fanmade items of the other members too. I planned on buying some more from her. not now. nanti lah.

So go check her IG out. see if there's anything you like. and if you do purchased something, tell her Vengeance sent you. LOL

Ok?

Ok.

my Baby Blue

Hello

another SHINee post

but especially today, it will be about our beloved leader, Onew.

First mini album dropped on 5th Dec 2018.

Seven songs:

1 Blue

2 거리마다 (Your Scent)

3 동네 (Under The Starlight)

4 어떤 사이 (Sign)

6 온유하게 해요 (Shine On You)

5 사랑이었을까 (Illusion)

7 또각또각 (Timepiece)

Two written by Lee Jinki:

온유하게 해요 (Shine On You)

사랑이었을까 (Illusion)

One pun: 

온유하게 해요

LOL

Gotta love this smart ass babe.

apakan?

😂😂😂

Now let's enjoy his MV of his titled song, Blue.

I kinda expected him to sing this kind of song.

At first, i was like, "eh?" and then as I continue listening on, I kinda, chuckled? 😂
coz the style of the song reminds me of an old Malay song whose titled I don't know the name of 😄
내 스타일 아니야
🙊

the rest of the songs in the album are in his normal ballad style voice, so, major2 love for them all. 

Especially Shine On You 😏



the puns, people. the puns!

but as funny as the title goes, I actually cried at the end of the song. 
the final verse of the song;

Some believe this song Onew wrote for Jonghyun.

Sun is Onew, Moon is Jonghyun.

Onew said I love you and I cried back, "I love you too"
My emotional feeling was so riddikulus last night. Like, when I finally stopped crying, I wondered what was so sad for me to cry like that. LOL.

Actually, I know why.

I'll explain in another post (if I rajin wawawa)

I found a post explaining the meaning of the MV. Kinda far fetch, kinda not.

have a read;
(click to enlarge please)

You know what? No matter how much I want this to be a happy album, it really is not.

Onew is leaving (me) for the army. 
Even though I did read somewhere that he will share some audio updates whilst in the army, I don't think it will change the fact that this album is a goodbye.

His latest post is this;

yeah right

When I clicked the See Translation under his original post, it says, "Please be good in the future! :) thank you so much everyone" and it got me upset. 
it feels like that scene I once wrote in my story, "I just got you, and now you're leaving?" *cry me a river*

Currently listening to  어떤 사이 (Sign)



This one has a festive vibe to it. He really prepared us well, huh? *hmpf* 
for real tho, I like this song. like, I picture us dancing to this. kekeke
(this song better not be a sad song! No, malas ku cari translation 😅)


Can't you tell who my SHINee bias is?

LOL!


Here, let me share you the album;



Have a listen and tell me I'm not being bias. :P

It's a good album. You'll fall in love too.
