that day was also big bang's first mubank broadcast after a long long long long loooooong while!!

so suddenly this van drived in lika boss from the other side instead of walking in like everyone else and

BAM

and all of a sudden this van came in lika boss like the way GD came in again and WA TOTALLY NO REACTION TIME THIS GUY JUST GOT OFF AND FLEW INTO KBS

ate at the store outside kbs that i love again HAHAH then went to garosugil for remicone!

iconic line store that we just passed by

hehehe im quite sure its the same outlet the triplets went to too!!

and initially i didnt wna eat cos i saw godiva and i wanted to try that instead but thr was this event so we got one free so i EAT.

HAHAHA it was not bad la rly

went back to apujeong to find this cafe that kim jonghyun frequents but it closed down so we went for more

TACO !!^^

tried the cheese bacon one this time and eh i prefer the first HAHAH but the fries srsly SHIOK

i think this sparked off my love for onion(??)

odiya i also never see

can u imagine hae umma and eunhae standing thr bc i can :-(

ironman hyung!!!!!

headed over to seoul olympic park and whOA the shock of my life when u think that pre-concert sg is pretty crazy wait till u go to korea

fangirls were literally running around (STAMPEDE) getting goods from fansites i can't

its like the number of sg fans x20 I CANT I CANT

queued for merch

going to see shinee must dress like a shinee fan right

(still havent wore that dress out in sg yet dayum)

had dinner at random store opposite and promptly fell asleep after these selfies LOL

entered the area and got AMAZED bc the view was so so so so so much better than i expected :'-)

sat down and saw the fanproject of hello and immediately tears rolled down my face

overly emotional but yes

these were the boys that i grew up with, had xmm feels for, and was overprotective as hell over. shed tears when i knew kim jonghyun was dating, and ached whenever i saw his face during hello perfs (yes i was young i was a xmm too)

but then as time passed and they were not active i fell for other groups, and when they came back a long long loooooooooong while later it was a concept i was not entirely comfortable with. but it was ok. but then it became more and more often, and i felt that i could not longer 'click'

yknow how some friends just drift apart? i drifted from oppa too

and it was rly hard for me to even recognise that myself bc i am ALWAYS superly emotionally attached. always being nostalgic as hell. and always afraid of all my friends judging me for leaving the fandom bc u dont understand, how many friends ive made just from being in the fandom itself

sighs at myself bc i like oppa also must be so stressed. sigh

but yes anw, look at the VIEW (wow pun??? isit a pun??)

went over to take a group pic (i volunteered to sit apart HAHAH)

wow check out those shiny eyes

beautiful, beautiful ocean

and then the concert started and the moment the 5 shining stars appeared, my tears fell like free

like i was underwater and watching them thru a ocean of my own tears (lol)

but none of these things matter

nooooo dont cry

dubu pls :-(

it was a great show :-)

was sat alone beside two other korean fans and it was gr8

the fan on my right was super super super enthu and high she screamt and sang along to every single song :'-) and after i calmed down and all my fav songs came out (SO MANY OLD SONGS OMG SO MANY SWC1 MEMORIES!!) and i started getting so so so excited and screaming like mad also we it was like we were highing tgt :'-) and bc hysteria(??) is infectious the girl on my left bc damn high also and it says alot cos i talked to her abit before the concert started and she was so shy!!

it was such a gr8 experience bc wow language barrier and all and they kept going 'ottoke !! ㅠㅠㅠㅠ' but we were all so so so high tgt? like got xiaosobs but it rly felt like we were as one entity

and do i dare say this?

it felt like we were as one shinee world

SOBZ

i guess it rly helps that ticketing was madness so most people got single tix so u are just forced to enjoy a concert with strangers but who knew that it could be so enjoyable?? :'-)

and halfway thru the concert the girl on my right asked if i had hair tie and bc she spoke so fast i couldnt uds it at first????? LOLOLOL and thats when she realised im not korean HAHAH but rly. i thought it shld be quite obvious hahahah like im less reactive during ments bc i rly need to concentrate HARD to understand (and i gave up after the first two ments wa tiring u know anot)

all in all, it was a rly rly rly good concert. speaking as a non-fan (??). legit. they brought themselves to a whole new level :-)
