On 20th April 2013, I went to U-kiss Collage Tour in Singapore.
and dare I say, it is the best night of my existance.
Although it was really super duper hot queueing in the hot afternoon in mid April in Singapore, but it was totally worth it when I finally saw the 7 perfect human beings in the function room!
Backtrack a little here, alright?
ton at the ariport on 19 April at around 10pm so I can fetch U-kiss when they came on the 20th at 5am at Terminal 2.
It was until when we checked the time at 4am that they said the flight will arrive at Terminal 3 instead!
Super flustered! Me, my sis and Aemee, plus 2 other Kissmes we met at the airport rushed there immediately.
After a few minutes of waiting, we finally saw them !! OMIGOSHH.
Eli was the first to come out, when he saw my fanboard, he smiled and looked up at me and smiled even brighter. (Need I mention that I was so elated! Damn happy that I brought my fanboard!!)
Kiseop was walking with Aj and Hoon, so he was super near us!! He smiled at my sis when he saw my sis's fanboard too !!
We couldn't wait for night to come when we will see them again, but we had to catch up on our sleep, so we went back homefor a rest.
Went down to queue at 11am. And I went to get Redbull for Eli. :D
Finally when we saw them at the function room, I couldn't react fast because Eli is the third person sitting across the table!!
Kevin was first, den Kiseop , Eli, Dongho, Aj, Hoon and Soohyun.
Kevin and Kiseop went by in a blur, actually I hadn't settled myself enough to prepare for them. Mianhaeyo !!
When it was Eli's turn, I left my gift on his table, and he said "Oooh Redbull!!!" with a super happy face !! *MELTS*
and when I shook his hand it was scorching hot. or rather, my hands were cold.
I didn't notice that my hands was super cold until I held Eli's hand.
My hands have never been COLD before. I always considered myself to have a "guy's hand" coz it's always bigger then my girlfriends and always so warm despite being in an air conditioned or cold environment.
When it was Dongho, I told him that I watced Don't Cry Mommy, and it was awesome, I sorta mumbled it, so I don't know if he understood . Very Sorry I am super nervous!!
Aj kinda calmed me down when he teased me with "Annyeong!!". I replied "Hi" But he asked "Annyeong??" again. With a mischevious grin on his face, and I relaxed a little and said "Annyeong!"
Hoon didn't interacted much with me, or rather I didn't say anything because I'm feeling nervous again.
Soohyun was being dorky as usual saying "Kamsa... Oops, Thank you!!" to me. When he was going "Oops" He didn't really say it, his mouthed turned into an oval shape and he covered it slightly.
Kyeoptaaaaa ~~~
The concert was AMAJJANG.
But I'm not going into details. Details hurt . LOL. Not really, I'm just too lazy.
I'll just write whatever happened to me there ._.
Aj gave lots of fan service! After introducing themselves, Aj blew a kiss and winked at me. I was super shocked, and looked at Xiao Yue (Since she is Aj bias) her reaction was hilarious, I completely got over the shock of being flirted at by my idol.
She said. "WHYY" in a growling (cute) manner.
Like she wanted to bite my head off. Omg. Its too funny I can't describe it.
But she is my best spazz mate for a reason, doesn't matter. LOL.
After that, Aj interacted with a girl beside my sis but she kept screaming and shouting at him(?)
Den he turned to me (idk why maybe because I was super hyper too??)
And I followed after him clapping and smiling wildly. Den he winked at me again. OMG.
In between the concert I got smiles from Aj and winks too . He almost became my bias.
Until Eli saw me and I waved frantically at him, and he smiled and waved at me.
*MELTSS*
Dongho came over to our side and rest when we screamed his name, he look at us and smiled.
Ahh maknae look so cute smiling
Soohyun came over to our side singing and shook one of the girls hands, he also threw the water bottle at us when we gestured him to do it. Daebakk.
Also,
Kevin smiled at me !! Ahh and he nodded at my sis's fanboard when she changed it to the back where it is written "U-kiss" on there.
Lots of eye contact with Kevin too.
Hoon threw his towel at us !! Hehehhe. He also keep coming to where we were standing and waved and gave lots of fanservice.
Kiseop sadly, didn't come to our side at all !!
Duper sad! At the last part, before they left the stage thou, Kiseop turned to look in my direction.
I nudged at my sis and said sharply "Kiseop!".
And he pointed at her and blew her a kiss !
In that instant, my sis went back to being his bias again..
It's funny how the rest of the member can do so much for us, but our bias will forever be our bias even a nod on the head to show they understood, or a smile that is just for us. It's so enough.
I love Aj now so so much! Previously he was just the cute maknae in Paran which I like (Coz my bias is ACE) , now everytime I see his photos , I get all fluttery inside..
Btw, U-kiss subunit uBEAT (which consists of Eli and Aj, Featuring Kevin) will be releasing their album on 25th April, and making their first comeback stage in Taiwan on 26th April.
Please do support them
Today I went to watch the much anticipated "Don't cry mommy" starring U-kiss Dongho.
For those of you who had been following my blog or twitter, I have tweeted and blogged time and time again how much I want to watch this movie. Mostly because it has U-kiss Dongho in it. :D
Also, the story is based on a true story about a girl who got gang-raped and she committed suicide. The law couldn't convict the rapists because they are minors. So the mom decided to get revenge for her daughter her own way.
Yes, Dongho is acting as one of the rapist.
"Don't cry mommy" is a really heart wrenching story about the relationship between parent and children. Which in the movie is the mom and daughter. Although I'm left quite confused about the ending and such but during the part where the mom sees the video of her daughter being abused, and that emotional climate of the whole movie where she went almost insane. That whole scene is enough to make the movie worth your money. Unless you're a kissme.. Dongho's face on HD in a super big ass screen is enough for you, i guess. It's enough for me thou.
I won't say I'll watch "Don't Cry Mommy" again, but it's a movie worth watching. Especially if you're a parent.
Kiseop has lots of adorable and goofy pictures so I couldn't help but do some..
As a form of apology to Kiseopieans, I did more of his glam photos :D
U-kiss AJ
It's so rarely that AJ is adorable (first & last picture).
There is too many cool pictures of him, so I couldn't decide on any, hence these few headers.
U-kiss Soohyun
Sorry but I am in love with the first header. Hahaha!
SNSD Taeyeon
My bias in SNSD is Tiffany, so I did two versions of the same picture (the last two).
These are made for my friend who is a Taeyeon bias :D
a side note before reading the fan account, AJ is already back in Korea with U-kiss promoting their latest single "Standing Still" in their 3rd full length album "Collage". I am shipping it at my blogshop . Do support U-kiss , I don't think they should always win, but they deserve to win at least once. I will update more about their new album tomorrow ! ^^
TRUE STORY / MEETING AJ
Date: October 4, 2012
Location: New York, New York
Event: None. Was just waiting for my friend for dinner.
So it was a random Thursday night and I had dinner plans with a friend. We were going to check out this Korean restaurant my Korean teacher recommended to me. My friend was working late, so I ended up just walking around K-Town to wait. As I was walking a guy nearly bumped into me so I looked up to see him smile and walk past me.
Inner thought: Wait… that… was that… Was that AJ from U-Kiss? …. He IS studying @ Columbia University right now…. it might be… but maybe it isn’t.
I decided to test my luck and approach him as he was by himself checking out a restaurant menu.
Me: *shyly… Hi…uhm… would you happen to be AJ?
He turned around, looked at me and said…
AJ: Maybe… ?
Me: Oh, I meant, are you AJ from U-Kiss?
AJ: … Maybe… ?
Me: *laughed at his playful response* Oh. Well… if you are, I just wanted to say hello. I’m a big fan and I saw your performance last year in LA @ KMF. ^__^
AJ: Wow, you know us? How?
Me: Yeah, I’ve been listening to KPop for a while now and so I know you guys and your music is really great!
AJ: Wow! Thank you! How long have you been a fan (of kpop)? Do your friends listen also?
Me: Hmm… I’d say a long time now, maybe since 2008? But before then I use to follow groups like 1TYM and Shinhwa. And yes, my friends listen to kpop also and they know you too!
AJ: Wow. That’s so cool.
Me: Yeah, so… Uhm… what are you doing here?
AJ: Oh, Well… I miss home (Korea) and I miss Korean food…(this was my “awww! moment”) so I came here… *gazes at the menu… then returns his attention to me* What are you doing here?
Me: Me? Oh…uhm… waiting for a friend. We’re suppose to have dinner nearby.
AJ: That’s cool. Are you a student?
Me: Oh… no, hehe I’m working now.
AJ: Oh what do you do?
Me: Uhmmm banking.
AJ: Wow, that’s a lot of work then. Your hours must be long huh?
Me: Yeah… I mean, it’s not bad. Only sometimes. How about you? You’re attending Columbia University now right?
AJ: Yeah, I’m studying. But I’m not sure what I want to do after.
Me: What do you mean? After you graduate or do you mean with U-Kiss?
AJ: Yeah, like after I graduate and with U-Kiss. I’m interested in a lot of things right now and unsure what I want to do exactly.
Me: That’s okay. That’s what college is for. You’ll figure it out as you go along. ^_^* Plus you’re really smart and talented, so you have nothing to worry about.
AJ: Aw, thank you. That means a lot! … so have you been in New York long?
Me: *giggles* Yes, I was born and raised here. I’m a native New Yorker.
AJ: Oh wow! I haven’t met a native New Yorker yet.
Me: Nice to meet you then! lol, if you need anyone to recommend places to you, you can let me know. ^^*
AJ: Ah that would be amazing, but I don’t have time w/ school now. My schedule is really tight and the courses are really difficult.
Me: Yeah, but you’re smart, so it’s kay.
AJ: No… I’m not smart, I’m just really hard working.
Me: I think you’ll do really well with whatever you choose to do. Don’t worry so much. Are you enjoying New York so far?
AJ: Yes, I am! Although, I haven’t had much time sight see yet.
Me: Ah, hopefully you’ll have time after finals.
AJ: Yeah… hopefully.
Me: Well, I don’t want to take away your time. It was nice to meet you and talk to you!!!
AJ: Oh, yes same here! Wait… what was your name?
Me: Oh yeah, Jackie.
AJ: Nice to meet you, Jackie *reaches hand out for a handshake*
Me: *Smiles and shakes his hand. *I was Just about to walk away…then…
Me: Oh! Would it be okay if we took a picture together?
AJ: Of course!
Me: *after photo* Thank you! I hope you have a great time here and good luck with your finals!!!
… I know somewhere in that convo we talked about school, the future, and different paths AJ could take…but I don’t remember the exact details of the convo. So I just left it as this. I definitely spoke to him for quite a while and i didn’t realize how much time passed.
AJ is very smart and very kind in person. He was also really normal. I’m happy I had the opportunity to chat with him on the off chance that I was waiting for my friend. ^__^*
I think this was the first IDOL encounter where I felt the most normal before/during/and after also. lol, I don’t know how I was able to keep my composure. Seriously, he is an incredible person. AJ, I hope you do well in the future! Fightingggg!!!
PS - This encounter was SO much easier b/c AJ was able to communicate in English with me. lol. all my other fan encounters were difficult since I have the Korean knowledge of a 4yr old. IF that! OTL…
