I JUST HAD THE BEST WEEK OF MY LIFE!! You know how I always talk about SHINee, being my #1 kpop idol..?? After this week, i think it just changed...to U-KISS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well let's see until SHINee makes their comeback. The reason why U-Kiss is my current #1 kpop idol......here it goes....

On 20th June 2010, i woke up early in the morning to go welcome U-Kiss at Changi Airport with my nephew and niece. We were all tired so it started kinda quiet. Ate our breakfast at McD Terminal 2 and sat around belt 37, where U-Kiss were supposed to come out from. After a super long moment of silence, i started asking them to play games. SO then we started getting our energy. Hasif asked if we could take the skytrain, so i said ok. Thanks to him, we saw the barricade further up and so we decided to just sit there and wait since fans have already cluttered around that area. I thought it was gonna be hectic and packed like the time when SHINee came. Farah and Hasif started asking loads of questions about kpop and ofcourse U-Kiss. They were full excitement that they can't believe they are going to see U-Kiss real life.

Around 11.20 or so (i think), U-Kiss arrived, coming out from belt 37 as stated on the screen. We ran towards that direction along with some fans. Then i saw Warner Music organizer pointing, asking them to come out from the door where there's barricade, so we ran back. haha so funny. Farah said she saw Kevin showing a big heart shape to fans. SO i got more excited. Bestie were on video call so i asked Hasif to show them to her as i record that moment on my camera. I shouted like nobody's business when i saw Soohyun and ofcourse i screamed louder when i saw Alexander, my bias. haha.

Here's the video. I think you should lower down the volume before clicking the 'play' button. hehe.

SHUTTUP!! I know i screamed like a freaking psycho..hahahaha i was excited la ok! LOL. Did you see Alexander and Kevin waving close to my direction. They were actually waving to my nephew, well atleast that's what he said. haha.

After that, i rushed home coz Nofa was supposed to fetch me at 12pm for U-Kiss fansign event. Luckily, i made it in time. It was super chaotic. Need to print stuff, collect stuff blah blah blah, but we managed to handle it well. Thanks Nofa for the ride! Then we fetched Nofa's friend, Sri Cempaka, her sister Mawar Melati and their cousin Amira Sham. We reached IMM around 2pm and everybody was looking at us. I think we're like so relax so they were like, wow! you don't even bother to come early to queue is it?? hahaha Well, it's a fansign for goodness sake. We'll see them eventually.

Prepared our last minute big card for each of the member. Haha chaos again!! Then at 4pm plus, U-Kiss came and everybody started pushing towards the front. I found a nice spot where i could stand on a step higher than everybody else. I even wore my pink bunny ears that Hidayah suggested me to buy. haha. I bought that same bunny ears for Xander but in black. So it's like couple headband, you know?? haha.

They came on stage and it was "kyaaaaaaaaaaaa~~~~~~" They were super vibrant and giving fan service non-stop. This is the video that i took of them coming on stage.

I decided not to record the whole thing so that i can concentrate on them, watching them real life. If i were to record it, i might as well watch fancam at home. But this is exceptional. Ken the MC asked us to say "Sarangaheyo! Mmmmmuah!!" and blow kiss. So this is what they return to us.

Did you see how excited and touched Soohyun was when they receive that kind of reaction from us?? So cute! And Kiseop!! haha always with his body gag.

Oh and thanks to Hidayah, someone noticed me. ELI!!!! I waved to him while he was looking at my direction. He waved back and did a gesture to show my headband. Watch this. It was recorded by bestie. Thanks bestie!! (Eli waved to her first before waving to me few minutes after)

OMG!!!! I was super excited, screaming and i think beating bestie's shoulder. hahahahahaha. Sorry babe. hehe.

Ok then the fansigning starts. While queuing to get up on stage, i waved to Dongho as he was free from signing anything. HE FREAKING WAVED BACK WITH A HUGE SMILE ON HIS FACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! KYAAAAAAAA~~~~~~~~~

I got on stage. First was Dongho. I told him he was sooooo cute and he looked up to me and said thank you. Then it was Eli. This is freaking embarrassing. I told him "OMG you are sooooo HOT!!" and he looked up looking all "ermmm...thank you...." hahahahaha. Paisey leh!! Then it was Kiseop. I gave him his present and he said thank you. Kibum, i just said hi. Alexander next! I told him, "oppa, i got so many things to give you". He was like ok ok..and took out the presents one by one. He took the card and laughed at his picture that we pasted. It was this picture.

His laugh was so cute! Then i moved to Kevin. I gave him a card, but it wasn't the card that we designed. IT WAS AN EMPTY PIECE OF CARDBOARD!!! He was looking at it weirdly while passing it to the organizer to keep. Luckily i noticed it on time so i gave him the correct one. Paisey again! haha. Anyway, the empty board is still with him. haha. Then i moved to Soohyun who was smiling wide but shyly, giving me my signed album. Before going off the stage, the organizer took a photo of me, bestie and Nofa with our signed albums.

Was spazzing about what happened with the girls and suddenly Sri shouted, "OMG he's wearing your headband!!" XANDER PUT ON MY HEADBAND!! But it was only for awhile so i didn't catch it.

Bestie and I decided to stay back for awhile to just look and admire them from afar. They kept giving fan service when they are free from signing, especially Kevin with his heart.

They finished the fansign event and we all waited for them to leave. They came out with bubble tea in hand and Eli skipped happily out to the back door. I was so happy and satisfied. I thought to myself, it was worth my $170.

After that, the girls and I went to Daiso to shop for presents for B2ST and some of them still shop for U-Kiss. Then Nofa sent us all home in her car, jamming to U-Kiss' music.

The next day, Bestie and I meet up early in the morning to queue for U-Kiss' showcase at.......Vivo there la. Those who know, know la huh...haha. Shhhh.....
We were number 66 and 67. Ofcourse, the number was not the official number. It was given by some kiasu fans. Then bestie left for work and i queued all alone until Nofa came at about 12pm i think.

We finally got in at about 6++. Bestie and i stood in the first row at the side. I wanted to put on my headband but some fangirl told me to take it out coz she cannot see. Whatever! When U-Kiss came on stage, i quickly put it on. haha. The showcase was so fun. With games and all. I felt like i was at a concert. While singing and dancing, the boys keep giving fan service, waving, reaching their hands out, making hearts and sang as though the song is directed to us. They were so cute and playful especially Soohyun, Eli and Kiseop. haha.

This time, i didn't record ANYTHING. I just admire their charms from the side while other fans were screaming.

After the showcase, the MC who is also a DJ from 100.3FM told us to tune in to 100.3FM as they will be interviewing U-Kiss. As soon as i heard that, i typed and send the message. After awhile, I got a reply. It said "do you wanna have a chat later with U-Kiss??" I was like "of course!! are you serious??" I was excited but abit skeptical coz i might send to the wrong number and it might be a prank. Then he replied "it'll try to fit in a call session. I'll try my best -dong"

So Nofa sent me home but we waited in the car for the call. We went crazy, singing, i mean screaming the U-Kiss' songs. When the call session starts, i kept looking at my phone. Everytime the connection bar decreases, i would shake it to make it full again. But as time goes on, i didn't get the call. My heart just broke into million pieces. I came home with a bitter smile on my face when my niece came running to me asking how was it. But i got over it the next day when people ask me how was it. I mean there's so much more nice things to remember about them. It was DEFINITELY worth my $170.

Tuesday, 22nd June 2010.
Cousins and I planned to welcome B2ST at the airport. We were not sure if U-Kiss has already left the country but from Kevin's tweet, it seems that they were still in Singapore at that time and will be going back to Korea at night, same day as B2ST arrival. So we waited at a strategic place to get a glimpse of them. We got a clear view of them but the fans were sooooooooo idiotic, they kept pushing till the point where some of them fell in a domino effect. The boys had to stop as their link were cut off and they look back to help the fans. Alexander looked worried and disturbed but still gave a smile (a bitter smile) when a fan called out to him.

I don't know what came over me, but i actually reached out and swiped Soohyun's abs. hahaha. Felt nice! hehe. I'm happy but not proud of what i did. I was the one who always said "why must people keep touching them" and i ended up touching them myself.

Anyway, after that, we ran down to find a nice spot for us to welcome B2ST. B2ST came around 11pm i think and i was in the middle of a group of girls at the front, at the barricade. The boys were sooo handsome especially Dongwoon. I didn't get to see my Kikwang baby coz he was so small and i was already star struck when i saw Dongwoon. Thanks to bestie who lend me her camera, i recorded the moment and when i played it back, i saw that Dongwoon was actually waving at my direction. Looks like he waved at my camera!!! Kyaaaaaaaaaa~~~~~~~ Kak era, Kak Yana, Inah and I went crazy and screamed at the top of our lungs when we saw the video. haha.

Waited for Friday to come for B2ST fansigning event. The whole thing was a chaos. The issue about official queues and again, the making of our board to individual members.

We came quite early to queue but because of the officail unofficial queue, we were at the very back. We climbed up the bench and whatnots just to see the boys clearly. The boys.....hmm..............they looked tired and not as excited as U-kiss and we were kinda disappointed at that, but they still smiled and wave.

Ok this event was a total blekh to me. First of all, why in the world did Universal Music release 3,000 albums and tickets for the fansign??? How can the boys possibly sign 3,000 copies of albums??? Secondly, if you want to release that many, how do you expect to finish it during those 2 short hours?? It was between 7.30pm to 9.30pm. They even counted down when it's like reaching 9.30pm. Wani and I were panicking when we heard coz we were almost there. Thirdly, when a fan asked them about the amount of fans, they said "we just release that many album but we weren't sure that ALL of it are going to sell" EH BODOH KE APE SIAK??!! WHO IN THE WORLD OF BUSINESS WOULD THINK SUCH THINGS??!! If you release such amount, you would expect to sell ALL of them right?? Who would ever think, "ok we release 3,000 then maybe we will only sell 1,500" wouldn't that be a lose???? So you're saying you're expecting a lose??? EH ANAK SEDARA AKU PUN FAHAM LA THAT LOGIC EH! MCM SIAK BTUL AR!

Lucky for us fans, the boys were so nice that the leader spoke up that he wanted to sign ALL of our albums. Isn't the leader just awesome?? Thank you Doojoon Oppa!

They took a small break right before i went up to get my album signed. The security was covering the whole scene but i get to get a glimpse of Doojoon and Kikwang in between those security. And guess what?? I had a looong eye contact with Doojoon and when i waved to Kikwang, he waved with a big smile on his face, WINKING AT ME!!!! KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAA~~~~ He was sooooooo handsome!! Just as i imagined he would be.

Then the fansign starts again. The security just collected the CD from us and randomly gave it to them to sign. We didn't even get to stop infront of them to say Hi. We just have to walk straight to the end of the table and the CD will be handed to us by some guy. I kept shouting "oppa, saranghaeyo" to Kikwang but he was busy signing. Well actually he's not an oppa to me la. Maybe Oppa by month only, but we were born in same year, 1990. hehe.

Came off stage and wanted to spazz with Wani when she checked that her album had no CD in it. It's not hers!! She wrote her name and date on it and apparently, i got hers! We then searched for the person in front and behind us asking if they took out the cd but to no avail. We complained to the MC, the security but nobody bothered to help us. The bloody moron even said "aiyo go copy la!" eh hello! I paid $25 just to get a copied version of the CD??? SIAK AJE!! Suddenly i got super emotional and cried. I felt so guilty that i took wani's album. I offered her back but she insisted that it's mine.

SO then we went back all gloomy. Took a cab and went home.

And that's the end of my awesome week. Sorry for the superlong post. I just wanted to type it all out so that when i read it in the future, i will feel like it was just yesterday. I want to remember every single detail of what happened since i didn't get to record those awesome moments.

Hope you guys enjoyed my memoirs of kpop fandom.

Annyeong!

BYE-YEUM!!! (ps: that's my baby Kikwang at the Hi-5 session..hihi)
