SJM 别耍我啦～

ky_rin — Sun, 22 May 2011 03:25:21 GMT

I'm kind of playing catchup with the SJM comeback, and decided to make a link list so I know where to get my shows and performances ;; I'm going to link whatever I have right now, will add to it because I have two months to backtrack, and if you wanna be nice to me please link me stuff I'm missing and even fancams of excellent quality of your favourite member, I will love you forever ;~; I aspire to make this a handy link post o/ I am also in the process of ripping all the damn files from youtube or tudou and storing them away, in case people start taking them off, and that case I will share the goodies in private so we can all flail together. Ho hum. I wonder if there are places to actually get the HQ videos, but I'm too lazy to look. These days ripping off youtube is enough when I'm too lazy to try and see their pores o/

aspirin mask

ky_rin — Sun, 03 Apr 2011 04:48:35 GMT

So this is for rorie and everyone else on my tlist because it was really hard to give proper instructions over twitter ._. and I'm rather OCD abotu getting the nuances right.

Aspirin/Yogurt/Honey face mask(+scrub)
***Do not use if you are allergic to aspirin, obviously.

Ingredients
- Uncoated aspirin (cheaper, don't need the coated ones)
- Plain yogurt (absolutely NO FLAVOURING unless you want your skin doing weird things. I prefer using the NON-non-fat ones, I feel like they make thicker, better masks.)
- Honey

I use a mortar and pestle to make the mask, its convenient for grinding and mixing the ingredients.

1. grind up 3-8 tabs of aspirin (especially if coated) or soften with 2-3 drops of water or lemon juice
2. add half teaspoon of yogurt
3. add half teaspoon of honey

Apply to face and let dry, I usually leave it on for at least 10 minutes, I leave it on up to 30 minutes. Aspirin by itself will be dehydrating, and make you sneeze if you put too much of it under your nose XD

Wash off like a scrub, the aspirin bits will be like an exfoliating wash, FEEL GOOD~ My skin always feels nice and soft and pampered. I usually use about 4-5tabs of aspirin, I started with 3, but near my period I up it to 6-8, or whenever I feel like I need a deep cleansing >.>

Notes
→ I looked masks up as well when I was reading about about homemade remedies for stubborn bumps on my snug piercing (grind up aspirin and adding a couple of drops of lemon juice to make a paste and apply, which might also be a good spot-remedy for drying up pimples as well, although usually I just use my mask and the salicylic acne gels after to deal with pimples)

→ amount of yogurt and honey can be adjusted to fit the amount of mask you need for your face, whether you prefer a runny mask or not... I personally prefer it not being runny, so I use as little yogurt and honey as possible.

→ aspirin: helps exfoliate, does the same thing as the salicylic acid treatments, I kind of forgot but wiki will have the answer
→ yogurt: has lactic acid, which also exfoliates, and moisturizes
→ honey: bactericidal and moisturizes, SMELLS GOOD

Also, I've also tried variations using the clay mask (with avocado, oatmeal, kaolin clay) i bought from the store in addition to the above ingredients, and it works as a thicker mask but also dries much faster so I want to wash it off after 10 minutes because I feel my face cracking XD

Masks are such a nice luxury after I shower ;; routines, I love them. This is why I don't ever get anything else done -- too busy pampering myself after work. Whoo. Still, i think my skin's better these days because I've been sleeping more, sleeping regularly, and I eat better and exercise more by climbing stairs and walking home from work \o/ Been working out maybe once or twice a week on my yoga mat and stuff, lost 5 pounds and really think it needs to stop though, but being active is nice after feeling like I've been hibernating for several winters.

Work has been reasonably challenging and fun, even :D Now to think about what comes next and not miss any more chances!

utter bliss

ZHOU MI IN MY ALL IS IN YOU CHINESE VERSION.

GLORIOUS.

THAT IS ALL.

ok, maybe not all, how about: fucking hell, I died and went to heaven? I absolutely LOVE the Korean version of this song, and I love the Chinese version almost more but also in an entirely different way.

so it's fairly simple

heh.

ky_rin — Fri, 17 Dec 2010 06:33:07 GMT

oh, I'm actually posting when I'm not being an angry insomniac! whoo!

this is just to up girlearthless with a video of this. which I'm sure she has seen before, but needs to see again.

ah why did it take me so long to rotate back to my ingrid playlist?

and. this. oh god. ;__;

just figures that I have a soft spot for acoustic version. I can actually distinguish the english lyrics! also, jaejoong's death stare at yoochun in the interview bits.

I had to rewatch it twice, and I still want to watch it again. and jaechun facepalming to DEATH when junsu talked about pizza. dude. I bet they stole the toppings on his pizzas in korea or something. not that I really like pizza, but poor deprived child. also i will love jyj to death as long as they never sing ayyy girl again fml may that shriekfest never grow on me like ryeowook's version of insomnia did!

more songs! been on a bit of a mandopop streak, trying to balance out my playlist from being 99% stefanie sun with male vocals, or trying to catch up with the scene since 2006 >.> been looping girlfriend by gary cao ge, man he has amazing vocals. (this song also made me feel like sugergirl by sjm ripped it off.)

I've never listened to jjlin, but recently he put up an album of him singing songs he wrote for female mandopop singers in his own style, and wow damn *_* the first track of the album has lyrics by sun yanzi, and no, that was not the reason I downloaded this album at all. really.

ok. done rambling. or not.

sungmin acting
al;sdkjalsdkjasd!! the first episode is a bit ridiculous. he's all over-smiley, but the second, holy shit. idk maybe it's because I watched it without subs, but I can feel the emo all the way from over here ~~helps that he probably has had plenty of practice~~ also, JAY \o/ if he can't be charming on stage then he'll charm through tv, eh? *_*

how can something be so obnoxiously cute.

ky_rin — Fri, 26 Nov 2010 07:18:35 GMT

Recently I've discovered this Korean indie band called Lucid Fall. By recently I mean two months ago, at least. Wiki describes his musical style as pop, folk and bossanova, the last of which probably explains why I like him so much. I've always have had this thing for bossanova. I came across him on one of my music rotation journals, maybe with a reference to Nell, this other Korean indie rock band I really like and have pimped on here before, but oh hey, for all I know I probably clicked on a random link and got lucky. I've already pimped them out to Gem, and I figured I might as well pimp them out here.

I love Lucid Fall. His voice is soothing and the guitar chills me out. Maybe I'm way too easy for a guy serenading me on a guitar, but good music is good music nevermind whether the lyrics are in a language I understand or if there are any lyrics at all. Some of the songs make me wish I knew what he's actually singing about because it sounds like something I would like to get to know.

Why do I need feet when I have wings to fly is one of my favourite tracks on the first album. There are no vocals in this, only guitars. There's a song on the second album that has sounds like quacking ducks at the end that always makes me sit up and listen. This is a review someone else wrote, which I stumbled across trying to get my hands on more Lucid Fall music one day.

But listen to the first album first. Ignore Track 8. You will find out why I say this when your curiousity gets the better of you.

SPORK!

ky_rin — Mon, 22 Nov 2010 13:25:46 GMT

guess who just did her laundry at six in the morning? me. I think I got up before the construction behind my house had a chance to start, ahaha fuck them.

guys guys guys I can't get over this shit I'm not even sorry. I wish I had been at the Taiwan KRY concert. just when I thought no one could top the insanity and hilarity of SJT's KTRs? KRY/Sungmin, that's what happened. it's like a rebellion of idiocy or something untempered by the sensibilities of people like Shiwon, perhaps, although sometimes I doubt his sanity too.

hoping everyone and their mothers have seen this by now. well okay maybe don't show your mom, you might frighten her to death, and she might hire an exorcist for you.

how is this a story about a quail egg I don't even fucking know but I can has Sungmin in creepy makeup coupled with cutesy apple hair -- this. I don't know how he makes everything adorable, even when he's being creepy as fuck. and just by the way, I used to say "IMMA KILL YOU WITH A SPORK" when enraged. Sungmin is armed with a spork. sporks. he has magnetic abs. and he gives kyuhyun the fail!mathlete a lash on the wrist for doing math wrong. god that smirk *_*

idk why I like to mock them, but why do three guys have the same ring and why are they emo-ing and why does that mean you have to put that ring in your mouth? although yesung howling his head off will never not be hot. but the best part of the video is probably when the fangirls started laughing at yesung being swallowed up by the dry ice mist. he has a WHY ME?! kind of moment lolololol the fangirls wouldn't stop squawking.

moar fandom. sungmin in a suit. /flips out

alskdjasd I feel like I took a long break from the suju fandom by not visiting any fansites off lj because this is what happens when I do? I just link and spazz and start behaving incoherently while forgetting grammar and make ridiculous typos I rush to fix after posting.

OH, ZHOUMI SPEAKING CANTONESE AND FLAILING OVER HIS SHOPPING WITH EXUBERANCE MADE MY MORNING. IDEFK. I THINK I WOULD GET TIRED IF I WENT SHOPPING WITH HIM. WHY ON EARTH WOULD HE BUY A SNSD GENIE HAT AND THEN TEASE ME WITH IT. HE JUST WANTS TO COSPLAY IT, I KNOW IT. omg he would be long-legged enough to do Genie.

I like this remix of Insomnia much better. I don't think it's any less traumatizing wrt to Ryeowook trying to be sexy but I think I've gained some immunity by now, which is unfortunate. it is still bad. but HAEMIN!!! what I'd give for more of that hot. oh. and. so. when remixied linked me this she had flailed at me about Sungmin!!! Ryeowook!!! so you know that blurry, out of focus beginning when the dancer comes out? I thought it was Sungmin in drag ala Jin and Koki for Pinky. /sigh

fandom. I'm still loving the crazy ♥
oh. I absolutely adore donghae. not just because he's attempting to speak my language. 好不好？行不行？对不对？懂不懂？sungmin's mandarin is terrible, yesung's is worse. I'm pretty glad there was SJM because ryeowook's just pwning the language :D

omg will I ever stop gushing about super junior. I swear this is worse than I ever was with JE ;_; *rolls around in glee* I think I will go check out kat-tun's latest single today. Junno's a hot mess and I need to tap that.

fandom is like a love affair, sometimes you can't quite explain why

ky_rin — Sat, 20 Nov 2010 19:40:39 GMT

I get the feeling that this is either gonna be a really skimpy concert report, or a really rambly one. I'm totally the type who gets lost in the pure emotion of a moment and remember the most random details or none at all /o\ Let it be know I'm really bad at spotting shippy moments, and make remarks like a pervy ten yo boy. This is why there are fancams out there >) Also expect hairgasms. I'm sure I'm going to reread this in a year and facepalm like crazy and probably attempt to delete it from the universe but whatever makes me happy now I will enjoy it :D

Seriously, I don't know how to write this at all. Maybe you should read Gem's more concise and organized post. She has embedded picture and fancams, while I'm just gonna be a lazy ass and link.

Let me just first say that China fangirls are crazy, batshit insane. We get out of the metro station to a really crowded plaza with booths hawking fanmade merch, photographs, lightsticks etc. There were so many people, like probably about ten times more than the scene at JYJ Shanghai ;_; There's a really skinny girl ahead of us cosplaying Lady HeeHee, her blond wig is distracting and she talks in such a prissy way, omg. We get our first hint of how Heechul biased China is when I try to get a lightstick in his name -- the girls are like dudeeee Heechul's sold out hours ago! I get one with Sungmin's name instead, idk why I did because I can't read Hangul anyway but then Gem, Bren and I got an awesome threesome going, so it was plenty fine. I wish I had taken a picture of the crazy, but it you would probably only be able to see the top of people's heads and nothing else.

We get in, and the Nanjing Olympic Indoor Stadium is huge and practically all the seats are filled. Chinese fans have amazing organizational powers, because girls were giving out their fanclub banners and stuff before the concert began and all that jazz. Another reiteration of how China fangirls are crazy - whenever someone held up a Hanchul fanboard or manip the stadium would go bonkers with oooh and ahhhs. Based on the number of lit banners they had, China likes Heechul, Yesung, Kyuhyun and Siwon a lot.

When the lights finally go out the stadium is this sea of brilliant blue -- I love them damn fangirls when it comes to things like this. The concert starts with Sorry, Sorry and tbh all I remember about the number is Donghae being lifted into the air from the circle of light like a god, although I question - why him? Why not Siwon? /smacked it was kind of like homin at SMTown but without the long legs /smacked more. He goes down and the circle of light, which is actually a stage prop of a ring of LED screens, is lifted to reveal other members of suju on their knees, and obviously I have comment about them boys being on their knees, shush. My sense of humour is ten years old, get it. People like Sungmin and Siwon pop out from underground, and I promptly want to set fire to Sungmin's tragic little ponytail. I wore my hair that way when I was four. Well it does, however, help me spot Sungmin amongst ten boys so all is good :3 Shindong pops out in front of our section. I remember finding it odd that Shindong is walking down the stairs while the other members are walking towards the center stage.

Super Junior pops and locks, stalks across the stage slowly to create ~*sizzling tension*~ lol here I need to mention that Eunhyuk and Donghae are the most amazing dancers to watch \o/ Their footwork, dammit *_____* Sungmin is unf, Siwon makes the best >| faces, Heechul smirks and smirks and smirks like a creeper, Yesung is as Gem described, an awkwardfest of limbs.

They're at the main stage when Sorry, Sorry ends and there's a frantic member swop going on -- here is kind of where I flip my shit because HENRY!!! ZHOUMI!! Super Girl comes on. I still think that Super Junior took the choreography for this song and made it more awesome based on sheer strength of numbers (the addition of less skinny members = beef ok) and variety in formations. Not that the original wasn't awesome, but surely when you have more hot people life is better y/y? God, the chest pops and stalking down towards center stage *_* Also, Zhoumi dances like a bag of flailing sticks lolol I also sadface a lot when Eunhyuk pops out at end stage, far away from us, in what can only be a ~blingbling~ costume and raps the hell out of this song. They need to release a remix for Super Girl already ;_;

Nugh, Don't Don. Sungmin is a BAMF :| and they did what they did in SMTown except with Zhoumi and Henry. Okay. So. This. Jesus fucking christ on a pongo stick. Zhoumi dressed in black, singing and rapping to Don't Don, headbanging as Heechul tries to take out the drums (sans his amazing SMTown Don't Don hair). Henry got his spotlight stolen for real. lmfao it was so great ;_;

Sungmin and Eeteuk are hauled into the air for No Other, and Kyuhyun almost falls over when the floor starts rotating (he was oddly out of it). Teukmin scatter sparkly blue confetti and other paper confetti gets shot up from below and damn it is so pretty \o/ Sungmin pretends to be a clockwork doll like the pretty boy he is ;alksdjasd makes me want to smack him silly from the sheer cute augh ♥ Teuk is a spazz and manages to lose a few of his balloons (and who knows what else)

Then comes the member introductions, which is a whole lot of what the flying fuck with crazy headgear and flasher trenchcoats. Why are they like this ;~; Sungmin, Donghae, Ryeowook, Eunhyuk running amok, having their heads bashed in by fellow members throughout the Korean version of Confession -- which was really odd since I'm so used to hearing it in Chinese ._. but the dorkery and cute, a;lskdja;slkdja;lskjd super junior this is why I love you so much.

Then they did Good Person, which was okay but I don't remember much... I think Eeteuk got bunch of pillows thrown at him, and he lay down on the stage to take a nap, yea we all know that boy needs sleep, ahaha dork. Rokkugo was next! Heechul picked up this hugeass manjuu pillow and shoved it in front of his face for his line, Sungmin unrolled a fangift, pocketed the card/letter that came with it (here is where I get ridiculously jealous -- getting letters and gifts to these kpop idols seem like such a cakewalk) and drapes the pink-with-white-polka-dots cow towel over his head for Rokkugo. Shindong is on stage with his arm in a sling and the members crowd him with concern :D (in the fancams he punches Sungmin in the gut)

Okay, after all that insanity, Ryeowook gets his solo with Sungmin on the guitar. In my opinion, it's the best version of One Fine Spring Day I've heard because the acoustic guitar is a light touch on the serious song and, no, it is not just because my bias playing it. Shut up. I spy Sungmin in tight black, ripped up pants.

Kyuhyun's solo was pretty amazing, I'm not as familiar with the song as some people are (I'm really not an oldies person) but he gets really loud towards the end (man this boy has some pair of lungs) and he seems to cry, or wipe sweat off his face, idk.

Sungmin's solo. How is he such a huge slut, idefk, my brain exploded from the hot ._. I'm trying to keep from keysmashing the fuck out of this post but it's not working so well you see :D DAMN BOY, WORK IT. That's why he was wearing those ripped up jeans \o/ Black silk shirt \\o// Opening of said silk shirt to reveal nicely toned torso *____________________* dude those bitches had their hands all over him. My brain went something like HANDS NIPPLES NAVEL LIPS before I gave up and started screaming etcetc. I shall not bore you further. His tattoo, nurghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I want to know exactly what's written there, I want to do lots of things...

Next, it's Siwon's solo like the fandom brain bleach or something. My brain takes a well needed breather.

I wanna love you, yes I do, what the flying fuck eunhae, why are you so hot and when did I start shipping them idefk, fml. Sorry I've got to say this, it's like Pin but Eunhae puts out. With a girl. Fuck yesssssss. At the start of the song the backdrop hadn't changed from Siwon's frosted church windows, and Eunhyuk's on stage shimmying up to a girl in a red corset top and black hot pants and really hot boots. I lol-ed really hard. Donghae comes out and I'm driven to distraction because hell, the way this boy dances, he has wings for feet! Or at least a pair of really bouncy springs. Such a joy to watch. He looks so fine in black dress pants and a collared shirt I want him to stay in them forever :( Just kidding, TAKE THEM OFF!!! Eunhyuk ripped his wifebeater from under his jacket in such a slick way I laughed.

I think laughing is how I prevent my brain from breaking y/y?

Super Junior T's crazy video's up next. Siwon cameos, and they have super powers. Shindong's the food monster, turning everything he touches into food, literally (stop me from cracking a lame joke about delicious manflesh -- okay I went there. you can judge me now /o/) Super Junior T (sans Shindong, unfortunately) come out of the ground with their sparkly trot jackets thrown over their next stage outfit, which sadly makes them look like the Monster of Glitter threw up on them because of the ~come hither~ looks they were sending its way. Especially Sungmin. Heechul's wearing his Boom Boom fishnet shirt underneath his jacket and it's like a fashion tragedy. But despite that, they all have cocksure expressions on their faces while mimicking knocking on someone's door. Heechul's sparkly bow is relocated from his neck to his forehead (oh hey I just realized Eunhyuk and Heechul have the same floppy blond cut right now) and, girlearthless listen up, Eeteuk has a sparkly hairclip in his hair \o/ and a fractured finger, idek, it would be funnier in a morbid way if it were his third finger but w/e. Donghae cheats on singing his line by screaming WO AI NI!!! to the fans and Heechul screams idefk what. He really does not speak anything but Korean well, okay. MOVING ON~

You&I and Song For You were just excuses for the boys to romp around the stage and be cute with each other, okay. SJT strips off their sparkles and idk, it because SJH fashion or something like that. Sungmin held Shindong's hand and walked by us and we flailed. Eunhyuk came and worshipped our section on his knees, we screamed like madwomen. I'm pretty sure it was Heechul who picked up the Eunhae manip and passed it around. He picked up a hanchul one earlier I suspect, because the fangirls flipped their shit. I'll let some gifs do the talking here, I'm tired. Just kidding. Yesung and Eunhae have a mutually abusive relationship (evidence here and if you watch the fancam of COOKING? COOKING!). Sungmin is an energizer bunny, lol.

Okay, so I did not expect what was coming next. This tall, skinny asian dude wearing Lady Gaga shades (that should have been my first and final hint) pops out on center stage with a handful of dancers and starts singing in this auto-tuned voice and flailing like the world would end if he didn't. Zhoumi o_________o this is a good reaction, okay. I laughed a lot, and screamed so much I probably pissed off the girls sitting in front of us. Oh, Zhoumi, what can I say. *dramatic sigh* I find out later he did a song by Elva -- and burst into more giggles because Elva was like the dance queen (who, imo, had a bimbotic image) during my high school years. Ah-ha-ha.

THEY DID NOT DO POKER FACE/SINGLE LADIES BECAUSE SHINDONG WAS HURT :( Heechul did not get a solo? *SADFUCKINGFACE*

SHAKE IT U-U-U-UP~ my favourite remix ever. Excuse me while I dedicate a minute to expressing my love for Heechul's hair *_________________* hot as fuck, all swept up and away from his face. Badass eyeliner. He's the only one in red pants lolololololol this guy, I love him so fucking much, it's ridiculous. Sungmin's in his see through shirt, I rejoice. I don't notice anybody else, except at some point Siwon's srzbznz face, which makes me crack up.

I think Gem and Bren were screaming KNOCK OUT!!! during TWINS so loudly the girl in front of us turned to glare lmao idk she did that often, like whenever I chose to demonstrate how loud I could get. I flailed a lot at the sheer hot and also went wow, I didn't know the dance moves for this song were so freaking complicated. I loved watching the old videos where Heechul jumps forward like a angry cat being flung at your face, smirking with a fury. There's a dance break that reminds me of After School's Bang in the middle, and I'll stop repeating myself abotu how ridiculously good Eunhyuk is :D Heechul was at the front, which also made it entertaining to watch because he stood out - red pants, blond hair that standing up, long limbs, slightly flaily - he was good tho ♥ People who say Heechul can't dance should watch him in TWINS, but I don't think anyone doubts his ability after he did all those girl dances~

Hate U Love U was pretty, slow songs were pretty, I don't have much to say about them except that I enjoyed them and was in bliss :)

Kangin is not dead guys. Why the fuck did they have to hold a "concert" in his honour (and Donghae is playing that flute all wrong!!!) and have his ghostly apparition appear on screens to stroke the members' head I will never know ahaha. I mean, it was pretty and all, but wtf. Apparently the fangirls a row ahead of us were sobbing. Gem would later say that these fangirls would cry for Kangin but stay in their seats for a high energy number like Bonamana. (OK so this is why SMTown LA rocked, because everyone was up and jumping like the proper-deprived-excited-to-see-their-idols-for-the-first-time fangirls they were)

Yesung's solo is amazing! I love the song, I love his voice. Everybody held up the banners they were given except us I think, cos I think we forgot, lolol tbh I felt silly waving a piece of paper and they got in my way of enjoying the show if people held them up above their heads (just hold it at your chest, woman) but maybe if I cared more it wouldn't be the same. I just have different ways of showing my love. Like shouting "YOU'RE SO HOT" in Korean at the boys. Yesung looked pleased and happy to see so many signs up, I'm sure :D

Bonamana, A Man In Love, U I think I shrieked my brains out. Don't remember much except boys being hot. Heechul and Kyuhyun were to our far left and I spied them canoodling with each other while sharing a pair of blue mittens. Cute. I think Siwon took his shirt off, but he was all the way at end stage so boo :( and someone always makes it a point to pass another to him really quickly. Hey if you worked out show it off, dammit. I might have been yelling for people like Eunhyuk to take his off. I also forgot to yell at Teuk to keep his shirt on, oh snap.

Dancing Out was an Eunhae fest! Again, read Gem's post. Yes, I did make that comment about Eunhyuk's stamina. Eunhyuk goes batshit. I don't know where he learned it from, but he goes from rock pit to rock pit armed with bottles of water -- opens one, takes a drink, sprays it all over the fangirls, ruins the poor plastic bottle, tosses it to the masses like a maniac. While he's doing that, Donghae kisses the hands of fangirls and reads a card that gets handed to him, fakes giving it back to the fangirl but changes his mind last minute and pockets it with a flourish like the casanova he is. I don't even know where Sungmin is right now, not in my section, that's where. Heechul comes around, fangirls flip their shit. He sneaks up on Eunhyuk, who's jizzing all over the fangirls again, and dumps water down his neck. Eunhyuk flees, obviously. Heechul then proceeds to take another bottle of water out from his pant pocket (HOW DOES HE FIT THINGS IN THERE, I DON'T KNOW) take a graceful sip, bend over and pass it to a fangirl politely. It's like he has to prove that he can be a gentleman in the face of Eunhyuk's crazy.

oh god why am I not done yet.

So. COOKING? COOKING! Sungmin is the cutest pumpkin ever -- I don't know how he does it -- he's probably wearing the fattest vegetable costume of them all but somehow, in that so-cute-I-want-to-smack-your-face-in way, he puffs his pumpkin chest out and manages to make it ADORABLE. He was the physical embodiment of ~*~*I am a PUMPKIN!*~*~ with rainbows and marqueeing, blinking text thrown in. jesus christ. Eunhyuk bounced while the rest of them plodded onto stage. Let it be know I will never look at beansprouts the same way? Gem will probably say to me one day "bouncy towkay" and I will laugh myself to death. Donghae looked like he was gonna cry because he was a fat onion. Heechul looked like he should, hot chilli pepper idek the innuendo here. Siwon looked uncomfortable in his carrot suit. Yesung was such a boy in his broccoli suit, armed with a baby bottle soft toy, which he shoved in Donghae's face, got kicked in the arse by Eunhyuk as retribution, proceeded to attack Eunhyuk's face with it to Donghae's angry, disapproving stare. LMAO CAN YOU TELL WHEN MY BRAIN REMEMBERS THE DETAILS NOW. idefk what Kyuhyun is but he rejects Sungmin's offering of a mini-pumpkin, whips his ass with it, Sungmin turns to Siwon, who is like, I AM A CARROT, WHY ARE YOU BOTHERING ME :| I'm pretty sure Sungmin bounced off Siwon, lololololol. I don't know how I managed to keep and eye on Eunhyuk and Sungmin at the same time, but I did. Hyuk's the only one who bothered with the dance moves of the song, love that boy ♥ He's also like Super Junior's most abused member, really. Go watch that fancam of him being attacked by vegetable suits over at Gem's post. Watch the fancam if you feel like it lol

You Are The One, also known at the song during which Eunhyuk is permanently distracted from life by a toy car as spastic as he is. Trust me this is worth watching, and possibly one of the highlights of the concert. Meanwhile I love the cut of Eunhyuk's shirt, his sparkly pants, and his boots. I want them. I also want the toy car, or a spazzy little Eunhyuk. The toy is like an overexcited puppy on a sugar high, which also describes Eunhyuk. He only picks up the damn toy to sing his sad, emotional line in You Are The One, which I presume is about the one and only love of somebody's life, clings to it even when Sungmin comes over to give him a hug (resulting in this really awkward, wide-armed hug in which Eunhyuk seemed reluctant) before he walks up to the main stage, sets the toy down and continues to play with it. That's some devotion for you right there. Teuk finishes up his thank you speech and they have to leave the stage but Hyuk continues to play with the toy, until Yesung decides to be an ass. Heechul and Eunhyuk exchange a significant look+smirk which set the hyukchul shipper in me off thinking about better things they could be doing backstage --- ahem.

The time of the encore finally rolls around :(((((( I love how they always sing Wonderboy, though, it's like one of the constants of Super Junior that never change -- their sheer dorkery that shines through all the dusty grey clouds in your life (especially in Nanjing). I lol really hard when the first thing Sungmin does when he comes back on to the stage is to go straight for the remote lying on the stage and command it to flip and bedazzle. Despite having performed this song so many times, someone forgets to sing their line and it throws off everybody else, lolol, until Donghae is a genius and comes in on time for his line. So much fail all around. Teuk equips himself oddly, in the opposite manner of a mother hen - with a duck hat and chick slippers? Boy is trying to stay young. More pictures at Gem's post. Donghae acquires a pair of blue mittens too :D they clash horribly with his sparkly red bow though :|

They gather for one last talk and walkabout to say thank you to everyone. Hyukjae is carrying his little sparkly spastic toy car about. They reach the main stage and Zhou Mi and Henry come out. Henry starts talking in Chinese which sounds pretty awful and which I love him for because it sounds like the way I speak Chinese. During his speech, Heechul gets fascinated by bling bling multi-coloured toy car in Hyuk's arms and wants to see its powers. So Hyuk puts it down and shows off its driving skills and Heechul is all O.o very impressed and Hyuk is proud and then Heechul starts jabbing at Zhou Mi, who's all "I'm Zhou Mi" and for some reason everyone starts imitating him. He's pulled to the front and then he trips over the little spastic toy car and goes "oh!" whereupon Hyukjae screams out this CRY OF PAIN "OHHHHH!!!!" AND PICKS UP THE TOY CAR IMMEDIATELY AND CUDDLES IT TO HIS CHEST IN DISTRESS AND IT IS THE BEST FUCKING MOMENT OF THE ENTIRE CONCERT.

I. I don't even. We rewatched this so much. WATCH IT. Hear Eunhyuk's cry of utter woe over his spastic toy car ;alksdja;lskdjas;dlkj why are they like this?! Also, during the walkabout, Heechul's like this perfect gentlemen idek how he manages to catch all the stuff the fans throw at him, but equips himself with not one, but two shopping bags (designed by his fans with his 希 logo written in pretty calligraphy to put the fangifts into. I am pretty amazed, because every time he caught something he made eye contact with the fan and did a little bow/points/fires a gun with his hand/something like that, as if to say "Thanks dude I got your present, man, hella head bomb awesome!" I think Heechul loves China as much as China loves him, probably because they stroke his ego so much.

Oh my god, I think I'm done with this. /falls over If you somehow manage to read it you can have a cookie. Several cookies. I'm going to take a nap. This took me several days to write and I'm still jetlagged. Hit me up if anyone wants links to fancams or something, I have this bunch of Sungmin focused ones on hand. Who said anything about being biased? Pfffbt.

i've got an itchy ear, dammit

I figured I would upload pictures while I still have an internet connection in Nanjing, because I know I would take forever to get around to doing so when I'm back in the US otherwise. I really should be sleeping now though, but I figure I have a 5-hour bus ride up to Huangshan on which I can nap, so here we go~

day one

tour on the river. all I remember was brilliant lights, song and dance and the world warping as I tried to stay awake at seven in the evening. I was pretty fucked up on jetlag ;_;

where people came to take their imperial exams. i think.

day two

nanjing train station, heading out to zhenjiang.

damn china's transport system has transformed in a blink of an eye jfc this bullet train is cheap and awesome *_*

we're going temple-touring and pagoda-climbing. i sneezed a lot, because, hello, hugeass sticks on incense.

guan yin pu sa and idk, a sea of demons? little gods? I forgot.

if you donate to the temple you get a little golden buddha embedded in a wall, or the golden cone three pictures up with the monks.

little windows containing stories on the outside wall of the temple.

trying to get lucky

at getting some money in the beast's mouth

like wings.

getting higher.

can you believe that those stairs were actually two-way sometimes?

the spring bubbled!

really.

it was so peaceful.

next stop: the pagoda in the distance.

another temple, filled with stone inscriptions.

a bamboo garden. we also ended up following a taiwanese guide around, he was funny.

we didn't get to climb this one

but it was pretty to look at.

the climb down was better.

the yangtze river in the distance.

ok 5AM got to fucking run for the ~~hills~~ MOUNTAIN!!!

after resisting the urge to rant about it for so long, i'll try to keep it short and succinct.

omona, shut the fuck up already.

→ being fat is ok, yes I get that.
→ surely there are many different types of fat - when it borders on unhealthy obesity, wanting to lose that weight is surely ok?
→ stop judging on the girlfriend when you don't know her reasons for wanting him to lose weight.
→ dude I totally would break up with a guy if I thought he was eating his way into early cardiac arrest. sorry to say, asian dating is not about ~*true love*~ and all that jazz, there is a very ingrained sense of practicality. if it is true love and sacrifices must be made, I will respect that, but do respect the other side of it too.
→ she didn't get back with him after losing 10kg. she got back with him after 20kg. have they ever considered there are other reasons that she got back together with him? perhaps some determination, effort? it's not just numbers.
→ also, it's not as if shindong doesn't know how it feels to be fat and judged for being fat. seriously now, people.

...people.

rather unrelated to the above, but for the love of whatever higher power, do I hate getting hit on by men at work. or in general.
