七夕快乐 Happy Chinese Valenties day

2013-08-12T17:59:31Z

Thank you for the warm welcome back! I really mean it!

I've had a bumpy road back and still feel like I haven't reached the stop yet. Some things I need it in black and white or I'll just hope and get cynical...but your hands have reached me and it warms me even though I cannot see everyone.

Happy Chinese Valentines Day!!!(its actually a few hours left before the actual day, but in China it's already the 7th of the 7th lunar month.)

So many people around me got and is getting married this year, it's crazy. Congratulations! I will be waiting for my flowers~~ ~~Not that I think I will receive any but I can always wish right~~

[Concert] Wang Lee Hom // 王力宏 Shanghai Apr-30 2013

Wang Lee Hom Concert Shaghai Apr-30 2013, a set on Flickr.

Long time no update! I'm still living my life in Shanghai. It's surreal but I'm still breathing ^_~

A lot of things has happened. I can't keep up with all the days. I should write down a diary for each day I'm here but it's to much to cover kekeke.

Yesterday I had a wonderful day with Wang Lee Hom^^ Mid-term exam just ended so it was extra relaxing.

I don't know much about his music except for his famous hits. It was interesting to go. This is my second concert in Shanghai and once again I was thrown off by the audience. I wanted to stand up and sing and dance along....but the audience sat quietly and waved the light sticks haha

Lee Hom is really a great artist. He is very talented; can play so many different instruments and to think he's over 30's is hard!!

Next concert on the line is Jay Chou (Zhou Jie Lun)!!^^

Also G-Dragon's One of a kind tour is coming to Shanghai!? Should I go? Decisions decisions....

Happy (Chinese) New Year

2013-02-18T03:33:10Z

A new year has already begun. The days and months have past unbelievably fast! I don't have time to catch a breath, afraid I'll miss something important. Have you made any new year resolutions? This year I haven't. I don't think anything will happen anyway. The year of the snake (according to the lunar calendar) is not very good for my sign. Apparently I need to be very careful...

Life in China is different. Sometimes challenging, but all have it's place. The Chinese New Year was the most surprising thing so far. I knew that basically all stores would be closed but to the fact that there are no activity from the government's side like fireworks, lion and dragon dance etc. took me off the hook. Though the lack of fireworks and firecracker were not apparent - I could see and hear it everyday for a couple of days from the locals. I haven't really missed home but when New Year Eve came I really missed the traditional family dinner. I had my first "western" dinner for the first time during Chinese New Year...I made my own pasta. (btw, just a regular package of pasta is expensive here! So if you're going to stay in China for a longer time contact me first and see what you should package in the luggage. I can give some tips :P)

Stay healthy and happy!

Until next time~~

JYJ Press conference in Berlin 2011

[Fan account] JYJ World Tour Concert in Berlin

2011-11-07T17:22:05Z

Date: November 6th 2011
Location: Temprodom, Berlin, Germany
Length: ~2hours

The line to exchange the confirmation ticket bought online to a paper ticket (not bracelets as some info was circling about! >_<) with a seat number. So first come first served the best seat in different categories, which consisted of general, vip and super vip tickets. A total of 3000 tickets. I don't understand why the organization did this. It would have been more convenient, less paper and work if everything was set up at the online ticket site during the release.

Also like many times before, queuing seems to stir much confusion as there were three lines. Apparently one for each ticket category, but how can one guess where to stand if the signs are only visible at the ticket boots' windows. This basically means you need to be in-front of the windows to see that tiny A4 paper saying which ticket it exchanges at that particular boot. *shaking head* To make life easier I went back a few hours later hoping the lines would be shorter and it was, thankfully.

Oh yeah, there were one more line. For the goods! Together with the line to buy some fast food/hot dogs >_< How is that visible with no signs!? All in all, the organization and lines outside a arena on a concert hall have much to learn from the Japanese system...

Performance list
Empty
Pierrot
Be my Girl
I love you (Yoochun's solo)
I'll protect you from Protect the Boss OST (Jaejoong's solo) - so many green light stick were waving during his performance. I felt sorry for the other two members ^^;;
You're so beautiful from Scent of a woman OST (Junsu's solo)
Be the one
Fallen Leaves
Get Out
Ayyy Girl
Mission
Found you
Encore
In Heaven - a sea of white light sticks was beautifully formed in the concert hall. I was one of them holding the light. I hope JYJ was moved by this^^
Empty (remix)
Pictures, videos and comments
Be my girl - such a funny dance I had to record it!!! xD

The MC talk was nice and comfortable. Well almost. Jaejoong poked Junsu several times very cutely to answer the questions. The interpreters only did in Korean and English. Perfectly fine. I was afraid it would only be translated into German ^^;;

Yoochun's solo "I love you" had a lot of skinship with the dancer(s).

Jaejoong's solo "I'll protect you" was beautiful. He really sang his heart out. His movements and voice told everything <3<3<3

Be the one - a very short clip ^^;;

The last MC section was so cute. It was where Jaejoong spoke the most. When he said they'll sing the last song (before the encore) everyone was like "Eeeeehhh!!!", including me, because the time had flow past really fast. I didn't feel like it had almost past 2 hours already. So how could they end the concert so fast with their "last song". Jaejoong was cute to mimic the audiences' "Eeeeh" ^^ Wish I had it as a fancam!

Is it obvious whom I'm looking at the most from the pictures above!? xD

Encore outfit. The t-shirt was not sold on the venue. Got a gray with black print of the three standing like in the concert poster...a not so pretty designed T-shirt in my opinion.

Empty remix - OMG, look at Junsu's dance moves. Jaejoong almost slipped because of all the confetti at 2:21.

If you've seen my pictures and fancams you'll notice I'm sitting in the absolut centre of the arena. They view was great. It was way better than the press ticket I got and I "only" bought the general ticket.

Although the press conference was disappointing, both from the end of the organizer and the behavior of the three (more of that in another post) the concert made it up. I'm in love with Jaejoong, Junsu and ~~slightly~~ Yoochun again xD Since they departed as JYJ I haven't really listened to their music so the concert was a big turnover. A big rock fell off my chest. They are not over, they still exists in my heart.

Fan account: SMTown Live in Paris

2011-06-17T08:21:35Z

Highlights:
✬ Choi MinHo captured my heart. ~~Slowly turning into a SHINee fan…Wanna see Hello Baby xD~~
✬ HoMin performed great - professional as usual! Maybe too professional that they act all stiff and don't interact with the fans at all. Even ignoring the cassis section on the second day…I'll explain further down.
✬ I want to go to a SUPER JUNIOR concert!
✬ Jessica and Krystal's performance really caught my eyes.
✬ SNSD really are flawless from top to toe *_*

WARNING! Much is still a blur to me. I can't believe I was there!!! So much rabble ^^;;

Day 1: June 10th 2011
The area was crowded with fans from all Europe and even other parts of the world several hours before the concert would start. The nearest McDonald's was filed and I can say that the line to the toilet went on forever, lol. ~~Can say that queuing seems like it's this countries best friend, but that's another story…~~ The que to the venue started to shoke up and it was hard to see how one could get to the concerts goods and the concert hall. At the goods telt there where no ordinary line. You could stand wherever and they serve whomever stands next to them…At this point I already misses the Japanese concert system! Fast and efficient and no flighting over tired sales people behind the disk. I bought TVXQ's clear file and the T-shirt^^ Still haven't opened them yet xD

The cute HaPororo was there too xD

The only one that showed some real skin was SiWon ^_^ That boy is tall and he is good looking IRL! ~~Almost shining like Yamapi IRL.~~

I really loved my prestige seat in section E. Sat in the centre and I could see clearly the artists. No need to look at the big screens! ^_^

SNSD and their small waist and LEGS!

I had a row of fanboys wearing the SNSD pink t-shirt and they all stood up when SNSD performed. Me on the other hand usually took the opportunity to rest my arms, legs and voice for the others, lol. TVXQ still hadn't appeared yet and half of the concert had passed! >_<

Actually found someone capture me where I sat!

The prince(!) and the princess. KyunHyun is so cute!

I liked the sisters performance. Should have fancamed it during the first day, cause the dance was much better viewer from the centre rather from the side.

f(x) ^_^
Lots of the SMTown scene clothes I've already seen before, so no surprise there.

Tried so zoom in on Donghae. He didn't want to stand still xD

Whenever Super Junior appeared on scene the audience went crazy xD So many ELF fans and not just that. They know how to kick life in the audience. They play, they tease and they interact!!!! Three major factors to make the concert something extra and not just a regular performance. When they were done and the special dance performance was over it went dark. Two tall figures went to each side of the extended scene sections to get hooked up for a flight in the air. People started screaming, I started to frenz with my camera and took therse shoots ^_^

He looked like a doll. A bit tired but still perfect *_*
As everyone had screamed so much just previous to HoMin's performance the audience was quite out of breath, including me ^^;;

MinHo in red <3

(forgot my watermark here, all well...)

I've dodged SHINee for a very long time. And I'm utterly aware of that. SMTown made me look at them in a totally different way!! MinHo changed my view. Read my experience on the next concert day xD

DAY 2: June 11th 2011
I think all people that came on the second day had already been on the first one. Cause everyone seemed to know what to expect. This time no one cared about the light-stick and camera rule. You could bring whatever with you into the venue, the staff didn't even glance at your purse. The good part they opened up the doors to the venue earlier and it was not choking with ppl. Cause there is no need to stand in line if you didn't have a standing seat near the scene ^_~

I had a seat with the other cassies that had bought their tickets through Phoenix - the unoffical europeian TVXQ fanclub! We had ballons and light- stick. My gawd I missed holding a light-stick. It was so weird holding up an emty arm/hand during the first concert. Something was missing xD I know that HoMin noticed us, but I feel sadden that they didn't wave or turned towards us during their short self introduction talk that every artists did after their first appearance during the concert. We say a bit to the left of the venue. Even towards the end when all SM artists come out wearing the official pink concert T-Shirt Yunho decided to go to the other side of the scene and hang out. Far way from us cassis grouped together in a section T_T Changmin followed YunHo...Probably it was decided before the concert which side of the scene they should walk, but still. I could feel that all cassis felt disappointed. When someone managed to push a red balloon in YunHo's hand he looked at the famillar ballloon and looked at us. Aww then I forgave him...a bit xD

All I could think of was MinHo. He wasn't as tall as I had imaged but that boy is soooooo goooood looooking.

During AYO performance with MinHo, Key, EunHyuk and ShinDong I had expected to see Key appear around my area cause he did it on the first day. They would enter the scene through the audience section. BUT OH SO SUPRSED I WAS! MINHO CAME FROM THE EXIT DOORS AND I FELL FOR HIM HARD!!!
Someone even captured me where I had went back to my seat, cause I initially dashed to where MinHo appeared and dashed here and there. In the video I'm holidng up my hand as he passes for a high-five. Was totally ignored like a fool haha ^^;; Thanks dubukat for finding the video.

Short and sweet:
I don't think I've felt so broke before on any trip haha. But it was so worth it!!! The concert was great! Happy that I could attend both of them. The organization in Paris was on a completely other level, though. Can only compare to Japan and they have a much better system!!! Both to the goods and the concert hall! Well structured lines and sign boards. No confusion at all compared to the first day's mess at Zenith.

Wish SM will come again to another European city!

2010.01.06 Yamapi's first Osaka Concert

2010-01-10T12:19:14Z

Back home again after a long headache trip to and from the various airports to get home.
But I guess I'll jump straight to the report since its more interesting,ne^^

I'll make an exception and let this be a public post for now^^v

6th January 2010, at noon I arrived at the concert arena, waiting for the doors to open for Yamapi's 1st show in Osaka. It was not as crowed as I thought it would be and there were almost no line to the concert goods. I didn't see any posters, SBS decorations, nothing expect for the goods stand. A bit sad over that fact since I was prepared with my camera at hands! But since I had much more important things to look a head I didn't bother much about those thoughts^^

At 13.30 the doors finally opened to a X-like stage, and where I sat (D section) there was a small stage which he visited from time to time. There were two other small stages at the other end of the arena. When he came forward I could really SEE him! I saw him otherwise too w/o spyglasses (which I had totally forgot at home -_-;;) Demo up close he was only a few meters away! Gosh, he is so handsome. Like in the pictures and TV. Though IRL he had a shining aura. Really sweet and cool! He looked amazing even though he sweated, sang and danced all the time! <3

So to the playlist. He began with soft pop and then the beat became more heavier^^

1. Gomen ne Juliet
2. Yubiwa
3. Mola, he danced and the PV was played on the middle screen.
4. Yours Baby
5. Run From You
6. Crush On You
7. Aoi - This was the only song I hadn't really listened to before.
8. LOVE SONG

Break - He went backstage to get changed and FIVE entertained in the middle.

9.SNOW EXPRESS - He came back with a white coat from above in a sparkling globe. My seating position was not good for the spectacular entrance since the globe was behind a big speaker -_-;; Demo it was still wonderful!

10. ME

11. Moon Light - As previous concerts someone from the audience will be picked by a jrs to come on stage. This time not only one but two girl came on-stage, since a second girl insisted in coming as well. Yamapi said some sweet stuff about that its okay if both want to sit in the chair, sharing the seat. The fans screamed, both at his sweet words and also in short protest xD They were sitting at the stage nearest me so I was happy since Yamapi would come over to my section^^ The interaction between the girls and Yamapi didn't last long, not even a minute. Looking into the camera and doing the V-sign then leaving them with one handkerchief.

12. After the Rain
13. Loveless
14. MJ's Thriller - This was the most exciting and cool and epic part of the whole concert. The intro was really cool too! The Jrs danced really cool to various rhythms and light effects. Then Yamapi came shooting with a gun and he began dancing to:

16. Daite Senorita - when he clicks his toung to make the "ah~~"-sound everyone went hyper^^

★MC★
He was talking about the countdown and Code Blue. Also showing a short CM of the drama. There where guys that shout too and one that really shouted loud that even Yamapi and other heard. Yamapi responed my lowereing his voice and said "Yamapi desu". HAha really funny moment. The fans was all high for a guest to appear. Someone even shouted "Tacky" and Yamapi responed to the "Akanishi"-shout and said that it has noting to do with Akanishi, lol. He tried his best at MC but no guest appeared.

17.Kiss kara hajimaru mystery - Kinki Kids' song

18. Colourful - he finally announced that he had guests! Everyone shouted in excitement. Then he announced the names of two Jrs and silence almost fell immediately over the arena.

19. Himawari

20.Dance Jam

★Encore★
During the encore half of the audience just sat in silence. The other half had a hard time uniting their shouts for Yamapi. It was really lame. I felt so frustrated. Anyway he came onstage in his concert T-shirt. I was one of few that had it on me as well. In my hands I was holing the Buzzer Beat bandana, hehe ^^
He jumped on the little push carts that he used to get around the arena while singing the last two songs:

21. Ima sugu ni

22. Seishun Amigo - enidng with this song was nice and everyone that could the dance danced with him (incl me^^)

END

I rmb I left the concert thinking that the title of the concert tour is perfect. Cause it was really was short and sweet <3

My report is short. I'll try edit it to make it sweet when I have more time xD
