ZE:A Children Of Empire Showcase

Hello! Annyeong! I had been MIA for sometimes thanks to my assignments T__T Hope all my readers still check out my blog... Feel really sorry cause when I got time to write, I feel lazy!! Hopeless blogger.. 죄네함니다 (means I'm sorry in Korean)!

On 10/11/12, I had somehow completed one of my dream! Finally I got to meet my favorite KPOP group after Super Junior, which was ZE:A or also known as Children of Empire~

I edited this for there 1000th days since debuted :3

I had been loving them since they debuted. They had came to Malaysia once last year but that time I'm still at Taiping so it's very hard for me to come and watch their showcase! This time, the moment I know that Jazzy Group was bringing them here again, I waited 10am sharp on the day they start selling the ticket, and keep calling like a mad girl. But their line was busy for quite awhile. I almost gave up. But finally, it gets through! I was so kan cheong/nervous when the guy answered my phone! I faster bought 2 tickets one for me and another one for Pei Yie. And since I'm the first 200, we even got fan sign!!!HAPPY OR NOT!

As the date got closer and closer, I got crazier and crazier. LOL. I replayed all their songs since debuted for like 98462384 times. Seriously all the songs in all their albums are niceeeee! And my partner in crime PY suddenly could not attend this showcase because she was not really feeling well after BigBang's concert. So sad for her T_T She decided to sell the ticket out so basically I'm going to the showcase ALONEEEE....

Presents + Letters i prepared. 

Left for Junyoung and Right for TaeHun! Kekeke.
OOTD! Galaxy print tee from Adore To Style (my current favorite FB fashion store! Super good quality and very nice owner!) and skater skirt from H&M.
Sat taxi from Subang to KL Sentral monorail station. Then use monorail to reach Hang Tuah Station. Walk around 5 minutes to reach Kenanga Wholesale City. As I was getting nearer to Kenanga, I actually heard them rehearsing. I was smiling all the way. Passerby might thought I'm crazy =__=" I was really really excited! But once I reach, cannot take my ticket yet. Cause I was too early zzz.. So I decided to have lunch first cause I know I might had to wait till night/midnight only will eat again.

Had Shihlin Happy Rice Box. Cheap and yummy! Love the tofu. Hehehe.
After I finish my lunch, it's about time to go claim my tickets and fan sign pass! Finally they were in my hands! So happy *___* Like one step closer to them!

*Bling bling* Vee-Aii-Pee
 Around 4pm, all of us gather at the ground floor so that the organizer can bring us to level 15 and start the fan sign! I'm so freaking nervous. My heart went dugeun dugeun! When I reached the venus, I almost went crazy X_X My palms was sweating. I was so excited!! Finally, they will be in front of me. LIKE REAL LIFE PERSON. NOT ON LAPTOP OR TV HOR!

The venue!
Photography was strictly NOT ALLOWED. Hence no pictures of the fan sign. But here is my experience... 

First was Kevin. Cause he was the only member understand English since he grew up at Australia, I passed him my letter. I said "Oppa, please read the letter." He replied "Sure sure.". KwangHee was bit off that day I don't know why. He was pretty sulky :( Then move on to Siwan. I greeted him "Annyeonghaseyo." And he replied "Apa Khabar!" He got really flawless face and cute eye smile. Kekeke. Follow by MinWoo, HeeCheol and HyungShik. I was to nervous to talk to them or even ask for handshakes. DAMN REGRET NOW! I just greeted them with Annyeonghaseyo and they all replied me with a smile. And when it reached Taehun's turn, I quickly said "Oppa Saranghaeyo!" I expect he will just reply "Ne (Yes in Korean)" but no! He said "Chodu Saranghaeyo." while signing my poster and smile~ Then I shouted "Nomu nomu saranghaeyo!" I can see Hyungshik chuckling and Taehun just laugh. Maybe I was too loud. HAHAHA. The last member was Dongjun. He was the cutest maknae EVER! He is so small... I know he got muscles and all, but his face really shows that he is very young! HAHAHA. AND YES, JunYoung, my ultimate bias and leader of ZE:A was absent T_T Damn sad at first, but Taehun's had filled his place. LOL

We was chased to by the security to go down ground floor again to wait for the showcase to start.  

I'm a very happy fangirl :') 
This is Nadhrah! The new friend who bought PY's ticket! 
We waited till 7pm and went back to level 15 for the showcase to officially START! I really had the time of my life. I was just 2nd row from the stage. So it was really really close! The whole showcase was a huge success! I can't thank Jazzy Group enough.

SOL advertisement while waiting! It's our Prince Hyungshik!

Everyone finding for their sits!

Prince Hyungshik Birthday event by ZE:A's Malaysia :)
And the showcase STARTED! Click it for a better view! 
They really performed so well and all of them were really HYPER! They sang really well and their dancing skills really daebak! Their fan services were REALLY REALLY GOOD too! They interacted a lot a lot a lot with the fans!!

Introduce and Interview session!
They introduced themselves one by one after 3 songs. Interview was carried out too~ They sat down and each of them was given a stick with hand so they need to point to the members if the questions were related with the members!




I actually wrote down all the questions and answers while they were answering on my iPod's note! Because I know I will forget if I never jot them down! So here is the interview!

The member who love to eat the most: HyungShik (All the ZE:A's were shouting his name already even before the members answer. HAHAHA. We know him too well.) He said because he eat so much, hence he is the tallest! X)

The member who is most dirty: HyunShik (I expect it to be KwangHee actually LOL)

The member who is most stingy/not willing to spend money: Kevin and KwangHee.

The member who cry a lot: TaeHun and JunYoung! (Both my bias! And I cry a lot also! HAHAHA)

If they can introduce their younger sister to a member, who would it be?: All pointed to each other. Almost all was chosen. (KwangHee probably shouting Hyungshik. HAHAHA cause he is the richest among all the members XD)

Who does the most mistakes on stage: Siwan and KwangHee. They say they will try their best to avoid mistakes~ (But from what we saw on the stage, its FLAWLESS. So don't worry k oppa? :P)

Thats all for the interview part~ They went in to change and her comes another round of awesomeness!!

MinWoo!

Prince Hyungshik!

DONGJUN'S SEXY BACK!!!!


Kekekeke look at TaeHun's flying hair! X) 
FANSERVICE TIME! They draw out lucky fans tickets and they get to come up and interacts with them!

- DELETED ALL THE MEMORIES HERE CAUSE I WAS NOT CHOSEN AND IT WAS A TORTURE FOR ME TO LOOK AT THOSE LUCKY HUMANS. TOO TORTURING I CAN CRY I TELL YOU -

So yeah. LOL. I really really cannot bear to watch please. All those fans hugged them like what only!!!! CANNOT!! I jealous >:(

TaeHun! :3

Kevin sang while waiting. 
Okay I forgot when but when they sang Someday, which is a ballad song, I cried T__T The only showcase that can make me cry. I was like, FINALLY THEY ARE INFRONT OF ME. I was so touched by their performance. At that moment, I feel so proud of them. I had always follow them since Mazeltov and till today, Phoenix. They grew so much and keep on improving day by day. I'm so glad that I'm their fans. Although they can be quite underrated and not as popular as all the other KPOP groups, but I believe one day, they will be!!

Then its HyungShik birthday event! The staff brought out a cake and all of us start singing Happy Birthday and help up the paper that we prepared earlier. He got a shocked and was really touched. Can see the tears at his eyes already. Damn cute and we were so happy that we can celebrate it with him! :')

Shocked face.

Kamsa kamsa~


Him bowing 90 degrees to the fans :) 
Smiley Dongjun :)

Kevin and Dongjun!




TaeHun waving at us~ 
Oppa I miss you! :')
Good times always passed super fast! After around 3 hours, the showcase comes to an end! They ended it with Body to Body remix version, which includes Gangnam Style. Hahaha. Super cute! All the fans stand and danced along with them. A really unforgettable 10.11.12 for me. Hope they will come back to Malaysia again!!

Kamsahamida oppas.. You guys did an superb job performing for Malaysia ZE:A's!
End this post with my course mates who are ZE:A fans too! FANBOY some more hor! Don't play play! Hahaha...

Manisnya Cupcakes

Feel weird looking at my Malay title?

My very main dream after I reached Form 4 was to become a journalist. I love writing "cerpens" or also known as short stories in Bahasa Malaysia. I wrote them a lot during exams. But ever since I stepped out from high school, I never once touched BM books or write in BM again. I feel so ashamed now looking back at my cerpen which was published in my School Magazine 2 years back. May I tell you the story here? :)

          Awan-awan putih menghiasi ruang legar yang biru itu. Burung-burung menciut gembira sambil mengembangkan sayapnya. Matahari menyinari setiap inci kulitku dengan habanya yang memanaskan. Titik-titik peluh mula membasahi dahiku. Aku menyusun cupcakes itu dengan kemas. Manik-manik berwarna-warni bersinar di bawah pancaran cahaya matahari. Aku bukanlah sesiapa tetapi hanya seorang penjual cupcakes yang menjadi kegemaran orang zaman kini.

          Aku seorang yang gagal. Aku telah menghampakan kedua orang tua aku. Akulah sepatutnya menjadi harapan tunggal mereka. Abang aku telah lama meninggalkan keluarga kami yang serba kekurangan ini. Agaknya, dia malu dengan kami. Orang tua ku cukup pedih hati mereka. Namun, aku tak berdaya hendak buat apa-apa. Cupcakes, itu sahaja kepandaianku. Aku mendapat keputusan yang teruk damn peperiksaan Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia. Harapan orang tuaku musnah begitu sahaja. Hairan. Aku hanya minat dalam membuat kek-kek kecil dan comel ini. Mereka bagai rakan-rakanku yang tidak pandai berkata-kata. Aku meletakkan seluruh isi hati aku pada mereka. Ya, itu hala tujuku.

          "Cupcakes for sale. Buy 5 free 1. Come and have a look." Aku cuba memujuk-mujuk orang yang lalu-lalang di Taman Birch ini. Aku hanyalah penjaja tepi jalan yang sentiasa dipandang rendah. Siapa yang sangka, seorang wanita kecil menjual kek ala Inggeris ini di tepi jalan berhampiran dengan taman yang cukup indah. Namun, itu sahajalah yang mampu aku buat untuk menyara kehidupan orang tua ku. Tiap-tiap hari, aku mengulangi kehidupan yang sama. Pukul 6 pagi sudah mula menyediakan bahan-bahan untuk resipi cupcakes ini. Tetapi entah mengapa, aku gembira membuat kek kecil ini. Warna-warna gula aising yang menghiasi permukaan kek yang biasa itu bagai memujuk hatiku yang sepi. Dengan hati yang riang, aku pergi membuka gerai. Bukan setiap hari aku mendapat balasan yang lumayan. Adakalanya, hanya seorang dua yang sanggup membeli daripada aku. Tetapi, aku gembira ketika melihat riak muka mereka yang menikmati cupcakes aku. Puas sungguh rasanya.

          Hari ini, aku keluar seperti biasa. Tetapi, siapa yang sangka, suatu perkara yang pelik telah berlaku. Aku yang sedang mengelamun sendirian pada cupcakes itu tersedar dengan satu bunyi hon yang kuat. Tiba-tiba, sebuah kereta berwarna hitam menuju ke arahku dengan cepat sekali. Aku tergamam. Dalam sekelip mata sahaja, geraiku musnah. Cupcakes yang tidak terdaya itu jatuh ke atas tanah dan habis penyek digilis tayar kereta tersebut. Aku pula jatuh dari kerusiku. Kereta itu terbabas ke belukar. Aku yang baru sedar dari kejutan itu dibantu oleh orang yang lalu-lalang.

          "Pemandu kereta tu, buta ke? Ish...teruk betullah. Habis periuk nasi aku hari ini." Aku bisik sendirian.

          Tidak lama kemudian, seorang lelaki yang berpakaian kot keluar dari kereta itu sambil menekankan kepalanya dengan tangan. Ya Tuhanku,berdarah teruk betul lelaki itu. Tidak diendahkan lukanya, dia berlari ke arahku.

          "Miss, are you okay? Do you need to got to the hospital?"

          "Tak payah. I'm fine. Baik kamu pergi hospital cepat sebelum keadaan kamu menjadi lebih teruk."

          "Oh, kamu orang tempatan rupanya. Saya minta maaf kerana melanggar gerai kamu. Saya akan membayar ganti rugi kamu."

          "Tak apalah. Itu kita bincang kemudian."

          Tidak lama kemudian, ambulans pun sampai. Rupa-rupanya kereta itu hilang kawalan kerana jalan yang berlubang itu. Aku balik rumah setelah mengemas geraiku yang hampir musnah. Aku tidak putus asa. Keesokan hari, aku cuba membaiki geraiku. Akhirnya, berjaya juga. Bolehlah aku berniaga lagi.

           Setelah hampir 3 hari, aku telah melupakan kejadian itu. Aku tidak mengharap yang lelaki itu akan datang membayar ganti rugi. Anggaplah itu satu hari yang malang. Aku mengelamun lagi. Tiba-tiba, bahu aku ditepuk.

          "Hi, ingat tak saya?"

          Aku hampir tergelak melihat kepalanya yang dibalut seperti ketupat itu.

          "Tentulah. kamu lelaki yang terbabas hari itu."

          "Ya. Saya datang untuk membayar ganti rugi."

          "Oh. Kamu ingat rupanya. Saya dah lupa pun tentang hal itu."

          Dia menghulurkan satu sampul putih padaku. Mataku terbeliak apabila melihat amaun duit yang tertulis pada cek itu.

          "RM3000? Saya tak perlu begitu banyak. RM500 pun dah cukup."

          "Tak apalah. Anggap je sebagai pampasanku pada kamu. Kamu terkejut juga kan hari tu? Saya minta maaf."

          "Tapi...."

          Belum sempat aku bercakap, dia menyampuk.

          "Boleh saya cuba satu? Nampak sedap."

          Dia berfikir sebentar cupcakes mana yang patut dicuba. Dia mecapai cupcakes kegemaranku yang dipanggil Flower Dreams itu. Cream berperisa blueberry dengan inti chocolat dihiasi dengan sekuntum bunga yang diperbuat daripada gula.

          "Sedapnya. Boleh bagi saya setengah dozen? Saya nak beli untuk kawan saya."

          "Of course."

          Aku membungkus cupcakes itu dengan cantik dan menyelit cek itu kembali ke dalam kotak. Tak sanggup saya menerima wang yang banyak itu.

          Pada keesokan hari, lelaki itu datang lagi.

          "Kamu tak terima wang saya? Mengapa?"

          "Tak sanggup saya menerima wang yang banyak itu."

          "Well, okay then. Boleh bagi saya sedozen Flower Dreams hari ini?"

          "What? Sedozen?"

          "Ya, rakan-rakan saya cukup menggemarinya."

          Mulai hari itu, perniagaan aku bertambah baik. Banyak syarikat yang mengadakan majlis, menempah cupcakes daripadaku. Keuntungan aku juga bertambah. Maka, wang aku cukup untuk membenarkan aku menyewa sebuah kedai kecil dan menjual cupcakes ku di situ. Chris, lelaki itu, banyak membantu aku mengembangkan perniagaanku. Dia menolong aku membuka sebuah laman web di internet. Percintaan kami turut berkembang seperti perniagaanku. Kehiduapn keluarga aku juga beransur baik. Orang tuaku bangga melihat kejayaanku.

          Hari ini, genaplah setahun kami bersama. Seorang peniaga yang berjaya dan seorang penjual cupcakes. Padanan yang pelik bukan? Dia cuba memujuk aku menghentikan perniagaan aku dan berjanji untuk menjagaku. Tetapi, aku membantah.

          "Pernah tak kamu dengar satu peribahasa yang berbunyi genggam bara api, biar sampai menjadi arang. Itulah saya. Saya mahu menjadi penjual cupcakes yang paling berjaya."

          Dengan pelanggan tetap yang banyak, akhirnya saya berjaya. Aku telah menjadi seorang penjual cupcaes yang terkenal di seluruh Malaysia. Flower Dreams aku mendapat sambutan yang hangat sekali. Aku telah mampu menyara orang tua aku tanpa bergantung pada orang lain. Sekiranya kita hendak berjaya, kita haruslah berusaha bersungguh-sungguh dan merebut peluang yang sedia ada. Kita janganlah berputus asa.

          Aku membuka saut demi satu kedai di seluruh Semenanjung Malaysia. Kedai aku diberi nama Manisnya Cupcakes. Banyak orang yang bertanya mengapa nama itu? Alasannya mudah sahaja. Kerana aku berharap cupcakes aku dapat menjadikan kehidupan semua ornag lebih manis lagi. Aku tersenyum lebar.
