Met Sziyi at Raffles City (went to buy Taimei!) and we walked to the floating platform through Esplanade. Had a few mishaps along the way but we reached the place safely, towards the helix bridge area. There were a lot of people, Singaporeans are as smart as us, opting for free concerts instead of paying to get into the floating platform. Met a fangirl who, like us, not willing to pay to get into the concert. Like us, she would pay if it was dirt cheap ($50) but not when the prices of the tickets are so expensive and we are not even that ~crazy~ about kpop anymore so...

And then... it started, the rain. It started with a slight drizzle and gradually led to a really heavy downpour. We were contemplating on whether to continue waiting as RITS might cancel the concert. The rain caused all of us to leave our waiting areas to hide in the shelters while waiting for the rain to stop. Ironically, the rain has helped us to secure a better viewing position, a position much better than the initial spot that we were standing at. The whole episode lasted for about 2 hours, which means, the rain helped us to waste about 2 hours of our waiting time, making it less draining to wait rather than not knowing how to spend our time for that 2 hours.

It is a given that we were still quite far from the stage but the screens were really clear and we were able to witness most of the happenings from the screen. The positions that we are at might be on par, or even better than those who paid for the balcony seats (which costs about $218?). I was thankful, the rain was a blessing in disguise. However, it did lead to my socks and shoes getting wet (of which I removed them as soon as the rain stopped because it felt disgusting), bag getting wet, umbrella being destroyed by the strong wind, almost dying in the process and not being able to enjoy fully.

Another thing I found out about myself, I tend to talk a lot during concerts and when I am tired, I tend to speak gibberish for no apparent reason. I am definitely not the best concert partner if you want to watch concerts in peace. Throughout the whole show, I was commenting and talking about random stuff, screaming fanchants that actually strains my voice, waving the light sticks like a maniac when my favorite groups appeared, leaning forward in hopes of getting a better view.

Pushing and pulling was common in concerts, but this person next to me pushed me towards the other side and I didn't even realize that the bag in front of me was not mine anymore. She kept pushing as if her life depended on it and when I pushed back, she just pushed against me even harder (she is not a Singaporean). Then, there was a guy behind me that kept pushing me and dripping water on me. He was such a jerk. I turned back a few times to glare at him and he took no hint. I almost wanted to kick him in his shins. A kid, about 6 years old, who stood next to that guy just kept stepping on my foot. Can you imagine this whole experience? It was practically the worst out of all concerts I have attended! But then again, I am watching a free concert so I can't complain.

After it ended, we gathered our things, mine with much difficulty, and went to the side at which most people were squealing and screaming and yelling. We could see the artistes board their vans to get back to their hotel or going to another place for food. Squinting and looking out for TVXQ and SHINee, we saw TVXQ but the rest of the people were just make-up artistes, managers, SNSD, Super Junior, etc. Left to get a cab (but I called for help from my mum after I realized that it is difficult to hire a cab and it is expensive too), squeezing through the people to get to the pick-up/taxi point. Everyone smells like rain and perspiration, it was eeky but I smell like  that too at that point of time, not complaining!


Setlist:
Removing the interludes cause they are basically the same video that was repeated for about 5 times? And I don't really remember when they play the interlude...
I remembered that one of the interludes, there was the part about trainees and they showed the red ocean. I teared. That interlude was before 'Only One" by BoA.

♫Hot Summer - f(x)
I am not very up to date to f(x) so I don't know this song. I do know the chorus though~ Hot Hot Summer~~

Introduction of f(x)
While everyone introduced themselves and spoke to us, Krystal just kept quiet. Amber actually grew out her hair!

♫Pinocchio - f(x)
My favorite song out of all the songs f(x) have released so far. Knowing the dance and dancing along with hand movements was fun. Everyone should try it!

♫Pine Tree + Polaris - Kangta
Ballad, after 2 upbeat songs. I love ballads so this was actually a plus point for me. Probably the only ballad throughout the whole of the concert!

Introduction of Kangta
He spoke in Mandarin and it sounded weird. At first, I thought he was speaking Korean until I realized that there are no translators at the start. Not enough screams for Kangta but then again, H.O.T. is not our era.

♫爱频率 - Kangta
Mandarin song, with mumbled lyrics. I can't understand his Mandarin conversational skills, what's more when he is singing? I gave up and just listened the the tune of the song. Makes me come to a realization that tune is everything in music, it is not the words.

♫今天你要嫁给我 - Zhou Mi (Super Junior-M) + Victoria (f(x))
It was a great surprise when the music played! I never expected this song (I never saw the set list beforehand) and well, if someone were to sing this song, definitely Zhou Mi and Victoria.

♫California Girls - Jessica Jung (SNSD) + Krystal Jung (f(x))
It wasn't a wow, and I wasn't paying much attention.

♫Just the way you are - Shim Changmin (TVXQ) + Cho Kyuhyun (Super Junior)
A song by Bruno Mars and I have to say, they pulled it off well. Screams for both of them were deafening, the words are not enunciated properly but hey, I have heard enough of Kor-glish to understand the words!

♫Oppa Oppa - Lee Donghae (Super Junior) + Eunhyuk (Super Junior)
Yay! It is just that Singapore fans are not enthusiastic enough to go "Oppa" at the right moment. Well, we are in Singapore. Can't expect much from us. Sigh.

♫History - EXO-K
First time ever listening to their songs. Not a deep impression but it wasn't like I had a bad impression either.

Introduction of EXO
And wow, so many people in the group. I was shocked. The greetings seemed never ending and screams were deafening for the guy who looks like Taemin. What is his name again?

♫MAMA - EXO-M
Uh huh, Chinese counterpart of the said group. I didn't really pay attention to this song. Was more of a hit and miss type of thing.

♫Devil's Cry - Kim Taeyeon (SNSD)
I have to say that her vocals are really good but... I still don't have a good impression of her.

♫Run Devil Run - SNSD
Probably one of their worst song to date. How this song got popular was something that I have never managed to found the answer to. Probably because they released this song at the peak of their career.

Introduction of SNSD
I didn't know who was who. Mixed up Seohyun and Yuri, Don't know which person is Tiffany and how Jessica looked alike to her. Probably the angle but it is still pretty shocking. Gasp!

♫Genie - SNSD
One of the nicest SNSD songs but I still can't unsee the dance so I fought back my giggle every time the chorus played.

♫Lucifer (Remix) - SHINee
Amazing, fantastic, and it rendered me speechless. Probably the turning point to the climax because everyone went into a frenzy at almost every performance after this.

♫Superman - Super Junior
It kind of sounded like some sort of sutra that was being chanted. It is not helping that I don't understand Korean so this whole song was a miss for me.

♫Don't Don - Super Junior
The first ever song from Super Junior that I knew. It wasn't Sorry Sorry (hey, they released Sorry Sorry after I like them okay. And I liked them till the kpop boom). It has been long since I last heard this song so I was quite excited.

♫Purple Line - TVXQ
I still prefer the Japanese version and the Japanese version kept playing in my head throughout the whole song! I can only sing to the Japanese version so I was all quiet in fear of singing the wrong words (in Japanese).

♫Ring Ding Dong (Remix) - SHINee
Much much better than the original version. Maybe I am too appalled by the original due to the many people who attempts to irritate me by playing it everywhere. No offence but hey, this song would have been a hit for me if it was not for the repeated plays everywhere.

♫Bonamana - Super Junior
Not a fan of this song, but I know this song. Cannot unsee the dance due to my sister but they didn't dance to this song.

♫Rising Sun - TVXQ
I am so used to listening to this song without the other 3 members. So used to it that it doesn't sound weird to me anymore.

♫Juliette (Remix) - SHINee
Cannot listen to this song normally again because of Pamela and Angshuang. This is bad. Very very bad.

Introduction of SHINee
In which Jonghyun talked about the blue screen and told us that they would be seeing us again on 8th December. Onew correcting the translator on the date of their concert almost immediately. It sounded too cute.

♫Love Like Oxygen (Remix) - SHINee
How long has it been since I listened to this song? Chair dance, flipping of jackets (except that they are not wearing jackets), being just amazing as they would. This is the last of the remixes that they would be performing. SHINee's stage presence was great throughout all their performances. Kudos!

♫Jet - f(x)
I started becoming tired and listless so I didn't pay much attention to this song. I was physically drained. I never knew attending concerts can be so tiring.

♫Open Arms - Ryeowook (Super Junior) + Onew (SHINee) + Chen (EXO-M) + Byun Baekhyun (EXO-K)
The only high part about this was Onew but I can't even get high. I forgot how the song actually sounds like. Remained tired throughout the rest of the performances.

♫Twinkle - TaeTiSeo
This song was a miss. Not much of an impression was made and I am not saying this just cause I don't like them.

♫DJ got us fallin' in love - TaeTiSeo + D.O. (EXO-K) + Lu Han (EXO-M) + Oh Sehun (EXO-K) + Park Chanyeol (EXO-K)
I love this song. And when I say love, I mean that I really love it. However, I love the original song and not the one that is sung by them. Sorry.

♫Like a G6 - Key (SHINee) + Kris (EXO-M) + Amber (f(x))
Key being a crazy key and he just rubbed his head and his hair went "BOOM". Hopefully someone managed to capture an image so you would see what I mean. He was so adorable.

♫Dance Battle - Jung Yunho (TVXQ) + Lee Taemin (SHINee) + Tao (EXO-M) + Kai (EXO-K) + Im Yoona (SNSD) + Kim Hyoyeon (SNSD) + Kwon Yuri (SNSD) + Victoria (f(x))
When Yunho came out, they actually played "O"! I was shocked and then the rest came behind him and I was all, "oh, I forgot it was supposed to be a dance battle". Wasn't able to witness much so I didn't really went goo goo over the performance.

♫Hurricane Venus - BoA
Well, Hurricane Venus. What more is there to say?

♫My name - BoA
I heard this song somewhere but I wasn't able to put my fingers into it. Kind of diappointing but well, BoA was not my era. Even though I do listen her songs, it wasn't like TVXQ's whose songs I could name by heard the music.

Introduction of BoA
She needs more yellow light sticks to support her. There was only 2 that I spotted. If I were to be going to these type of concerts again, I would bring a yellow light stick just for her. The crowd was unenthusiastic. Everyone must be tired by this time or just uninterested in BoA.

♫No. 1 - BoA
You're still my number one~ This song was one of the first songs I have listened from her. I forgot the first and definitely will not remember every song that I have listened to. This song made a deep impression so I remembered. Simple as that.

♫Sorry Sorry - Super Junior
I used to love this song so much before the kwave was in Singapore, then I started disliking this song. I still had fun singing along, though I wasn't that crazy as before.

Introduction of Super Junior
Eunhyuk with his Singlish, "I miss you la. I love you la." reduced us into piles of laughter. He was so hilarious and everything that he said, he just added a "la" at the back to make it sound Singlish. It is impossible to not crack up at his antics. This might be the reason why Super Junior is so popular. Siwon was missing. I didn't see him at all. But this might just be me.

♫太完美 - Super Junior-M
Oh god, their Mandarin is horrendous. I couldn't make out the words at all and the person next to me was singing out of sync to the song so the whole thing sounded pretty weird.

♫A-Cha - Super Junior
Not a fan of this song, one of their worst songs to date.

♫Mr. Taxi - SNSD
Probably the only listen-able song after Genie. I prefer the Japanese version though~

♫Internet War - Kim Jonghyun (SHINee) + Lee Taemin (SHINee)
This was literally mindf. Jonghyun learnt the art of fan service and all he does in this song is fan service and more fan service. Taemin has been learning and improve his skils of fan servicing. They have been mixing too much with Super Junior and probably Heechul was the one who instilled such ideas into them. Not complaining but at the same time, I CAN'T GET THAT IMAGE OUT OF MY HEAD.
This song stole the show. The screams were deafening, even more so than any other songs that were performed.

♫"O"-正.反.合. - TVXQ
I felt like the other 3 was still here. This is one of the only 2 songs that I could still feel their presence in. No more flower petals or powder at the start and I was quite disappointed. I miss them as five.

♫Mirotic - TVXQ
I could hear the backing tracks. I could hear Junsu. They never eliminated the voices of one part and oh god, I was spazzing like some maniac. Tears threatened to fall.

Introduction of TVXQ
I couldn't really hear them nor the translator but I know that there was something that Changmin said about fans being professional. Maybe it was due to the fact that we waited in the rain for them? Yunho was being ridiculously adorable about something but I forgot what he said. Hey, I was tired. Not enough red light sticks around though. The blue ocean took it al

♫Humanoids - TVXQ
OH.MY.GOD. This song blew me away. It is a much better track as compared to Catch Me and probably the nicest track out of all the new songs they have released in Korea so far. I could do without the auto tune but honestly speaking, they can't. Their voices are not strong enough for the removal of auto tune but I take what I can get!~

♫Why? (Keep Your Head Down) - TVXQ
Fan chants from the 2 of us. Screaming at the top of our voices, I was positive that the people next to us and behind us are freaked out by us. But hey, it is TVXQ we are talking about.

♫Gee - SNSD
I know the dance to this! And I still remember the dance to this. Even though I never liked this song, the irony.

♫Kissing You - SNSD
Probably not my favorite song but I would take this song rather than the cheerleaders' song.

♫Dancing Out - Super Junior
Nope, I don't know this song. No impression either.

♫Only One - BoA + Oh Sehun (EXO-K)
The rain started and we were all fumbling for ponchos, umbrellas, and missed the whole performance.

♫Electric Shock - f(x)
Oh, I like this song too! Maybe it is because of the repeated listen once every week for about a month? That would be 4 times though.

♫Sherlock - SHINee
This was amazing. My first time watching the live performance of Sherlock and I am amazed at their perseverance to continue dancing in the rain. It looks amazing. And definitely the best song after Replay that they have ever released. Now, if they would remove the "SHINee's back" part with something else, this song would be perfect.

♫The Boys - SNSD
Covered the poncho over our head because we don't really want to watch this performance. The rain was really heavy and we didn't want to make ourselves suffer to watch a performance by a group we don't even like.

♫Sexy, Free & Single - Super Junior
I don't know this song and thus, this song is thrown to the back of my head. Not much of a hit either.

♫Catch Me - TVXQ
We stayed, just because of this performance. It looks amazing live but I can't enjoy it fully because of the rain. My glasses got droplets of rainwater that obstructs my vision. The wind was so strong I almost died if it were not for the ponchos.

♫Hope - SMTOWN
Super Junior, being Super Junior, was the first to run out into the rain but the rain stopped in the middle of the song and the rest of the people walked out. There were some of them who acknowledged us and waved to us. It looked like SHINee and Super Junior but I am not so sure on that. Well, at least it was heartening to know that they know that we are there.

Concert started: 7.15PM, Friday, 23rd November 2012
Concert ended: roughly 11.15PM, Friday, 23rd November 2012

Event: Nazotoki wa Dinner no Ato de Filming
Date: 8th July 2012, Sunday
Country: Singapore

Starting from the very beginning, I slept till 8.20PM due to the assurance from Amber that she would notify me if anything were to happen at the location, Merlion Park. Woke up at 8.20PM due to an SMS and also a phone call from Ellie and Amber respectively. Both were news that they were going to start filming as the crew members were setting up the equipment at Merlion Park. I tried desperately to rush there asap but I had to at least tidy up for the show that I was going to watch with my parents later.

Reached the area at about 9.45AM and missed 2 of the scenes that they were filming. I immediately looked for the group and missed Ellie completely as I wasn't paying much attention due to the fact that I had already found the group of people and took it for granted that she was also at the area. And this comes the emotional roller coaster ride story that I would be going through.

I have already started with the feeling of hopefulness when I got the phone call to panicking through my morning with the rush to look for clothes to wear and the train ride to Raffles Place. To continue on, I was excited to see him and at the same time, thoughts raced through my head as I was trying to calm myself down that today is not going to be an unfruitful day. And...

I SAW HIM. I SAW SAKURAI SHO. I SAW THIS ONE MAN WHO IS ONE OF THE FIVE THAT MADE ME LAUGH AS HARD AS I EVER COULD. I SAW THIS ONE MAN WHO MANAGED TO MAKE ME GO ALL THE WAY DOWN TO HARBOURFRONT AND WAITED FOR HIM THERE FOR A FEW HOURS AND WENT BACK FEELING DISAPPOINTED. I SAW THIS ONE MAN WHO WALKED PAST ME WITHOUT ME NOTICING HIM. I SAW THIS ONE MAN WHO IS ONE OF THE FEW IDOLS THAT TRULY STIRRED UP THE STORM IN MY HEART. I SAW THIS ONE MAN WHO FEELS SO SURREAL, THIS ONE MAN WHO FEELS LIKE A DREAM MORE THAN A REALITY.

That was basically a summarized version of the feeling I felt at the point when I actually see him, at the point when I actually layed my eyes on him. A flood of emotions ran through me and the tons of things I wanted to say just refused to make its way out of my mouth. The feelings I held in my heart for several years almost had me bursting into tears and I would have if Sziyi was actually there. I was afraid to be looked down upon by the others that were there. I was holding my tears as the flood of emotions burst through me. I was shocked, surprised and it actually feels like my heart was going to explode with all the emotions that I was feeling at that point of time. It was as if I never knew this person actually existed and I knew if I were going to narrate the whole story to someone, they would not understand and I would be the one bursting into tears during the narration.

They filmed at Merlion Park for a good few hours before they wrapped up the filming.  One of the crew member was taking videos of us, which we presumed it to be for the filming, and we didn't notice until the camera was pointing at us. We stayed in the sun for the several hours and went to get a few cups of drinks at The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaves. While we stayed in there, the filming continued and we were disallowed to go out of the shop. A staff came in to shout at us for standing too close to the exit and we were forced to retreat to the end as there were no seats available in the shop. They (Sho and Keiko) were so close. They came so close to the shop that we were only a few meters away from them. The only thought I had was that "if only there wasn't a piece of glass that separated us". It was more than just a breathless feeling. It was this feeling of euphoria that raced through me, that feeling that didn't allow me to think properly and all I could do was to stay rooted to the ground and stare (albeit rudely). Amber took a photo despite the no photos warning but it was like ninja so all was good.

Raced back to meet the others and went on a frenzy. Everyone did. The filming then continued when they came out from the shop again. It wasn't much but it was the feeling of "being there" and seeing him in person that made us over the moon sun. Keiko went behind the screen, a place that is very visible to us, to hide from the sun and also to listen to certain instructions that was being given out. We waved to her and she acknowledged our presence by nodding at us. Not only once, but at least thrice or more. We felt heartened and contented by the fact that there was actually someone who noticed us. We wanted to wave and call out to Sho but he had this aura around him and he hid behind the giant umbrella most of the time when he walked past. It was only until the filming ended that everyone was dispersing to different areas.

We went towards the area where Sho and Keiko stood, the area where they actually did the filming. Amber and I-forgot-her-name actually went to reenact the scene and their photo got taken by one of the staff that was present. Not to mention that we actually took a photo too but hey, we were actually not part of the staff! With some persuasion on Robin's part, he agreed to send the picture to Robin. We then talked to a few crew members and one of which was this ridiculously handsome Japanese guy who spoke to us. He was the first person that made my heart race after counting each and every of my idols. The voice, his gestures, his smile~ all of it are etched deeply into my brain. I feel ridiculous for liking someone out of my league but I could not help it. But then again, he is out of the story. I am out of the story. I am not pretty, not skinny, not cute, not anything. The type that guys would never like so I practically gave up on any type of romance in my life (well, sort of!).

Stayed around the area and went into the shop where they had their breaks. It was a pub that wasn't open in the morning so they borrowed it for holding purposes and put up black paper to cover the transparent doors. We went in to take pictures and stayed in there for the cooling wind that was generated by the electric ceiling fans. After which, we went out to Fullerton Hotel where we contemplated on where to go next. Amber and her friend had to leave us after that as she had extra classes to attend.

-many things happened in between that I might fill in the next day or so-

Honda-san called to inform us that the filming is continuing at Louis Vuitton flagship shop at Marina Bay Sands. We rushed there immediately after hearing the news and even got a cab to ferry us all the way to Marina Bay Sands from Fullerton Hotel. We walked the place for 30 minutes as we could not see anything at Louis Vuitton. We took the opposite direction and saw them, rushed there, and called our group of people over. They were filming on board the river cruise boat that was circling around outside Marina Bay Sands and we couldn't get a clear view of them. However, we did notice crazy antics from the far distance that made us go "aww~".

I had to leave soon after that at about 3 so I did not get to witness anything else after that. Heard that Sho did some dance after the filming and waved at the fans. Disappointed that I missed it but not disappointed that I went for all these crazy stuff that I would probably only experience once. I am thankful for all the people that made today a fruitful day and I would never forget the whole lot of you who actually made my day despite me not being part of the actual group. Thank you for accepting me into this group.

I will not be remembering every little detail about the concert but I will try to summarise the best I can. (it has, after all, been 2 days since the concert and what makes you think I can remember all the details when I was all @_@ after the concert.)
First thing that I really feel like shouting out, "I FINALLY WENT TO A SHINEE CONCERT AND FYEAH I REALLY LOVE IT. ;~;"

Despite the fact that I met horrible people along the way, I really enjoyed myself during the concert. I got the best view (imho), right in front of the exit (at which they exited the stage) and I was only one and a half arm length away from them every time they exit. The fan service (despite it not being better than Super Junior’s) was great and I really love it.

Song list is according to someone’s videos in Youtube and I am not really sure if that is the correct order but it is most probably correct. And I re-watched some of the videos to refresh my memories!

♫The SHINee World
Honestly though, I almost cried when the music started playing and it is like… a super high tension song. And all I could think of at this point of time was “Omg I am actually at a SHINee concert,” and to me, it is really like a dream come true.

♫Senorita
I don’t really love this song but the concert made the song much better for me. The dance was so hot and everyone started screaming whenever SHINee did the hips-wave thing (whatever it is called) and it was pretty hilarious how the reaction was immediate. SHINee what are you doing to my brain?

♫Get Down
I really don’t like songs like this and this is probably the only time I will ever like this song. See what live performances do to my brain? They make me go crazy and accept songs I couldn’t accept before.

♫A.MI.GO
Everyone was going “COLD ICE BABY” when the song started. Being in front of them almost meant that we get to see the staff helping SHINee put on those harnesses and it was pretty cool how they were so fast. Jonghyun flew up and the rest of the members were shaking their heads as if they were having spasms was funny. Heh.
OH AND KEY PUT HIS ARMS AROUND JONGHYUN’S SHOULDERS AND IT WAS SO CUTE.

♫Juliette
Thanks to Angshuang and Pamela, I was all hyped when they started playing this song. And everyone was going, “Juliette Ho~” and I was giggling like a crazy girl I am and smiling to myself. And then Minho did that blowing on his hand dance move and all I could think of was “O”.Jung.Ban.Hap. (missing the old tvxq now)

♫Hello
This song sure brings back pretty bad memories for Jonghyun unless the Sekyung thing was a lie. Nothing exceptionally special about this performance except for the shadow thing which I thought was very cool; and how they were in tune with the shadow.

Short MC
Key spoke in English and I was all (‘: (I am sorry that I have to add an emoticon here to express my feelings but that is the only way I can express it). And everyone introduced themselves, followed by screams from the audience. The screams were so loud I swear that if the whole concert hall is made of glass, the glass will shatter. Key introduced the next song, Your Name, in English and then the music started…

♫Your Name
I remember this song as the one that had this gigantic frame moving up and down as they move up and down and then I started crying. I didn’t know what came over me and the next thing I know, there were tears flowing down my cheeks. The frame then broke and there were angel wings behind them.

♫Stand by me
THIS WAS IS JUST PERFECT. Okay I am a sucker for this song even though I don’t like the show –cough boys over flowers cough- that this song was the theme song for. They did the “whaooo~ stand by me” action and then it was all silence for the 2^nd time and it was so funny. The audience were supposed to be singing that part!! HAHAHAHA. I swear it was in this video when Key waved to us!! And more Jongkey moments of course!

♫Love Still Goes On
I think it is amazing how I know some of the lyrics to this song despite not listening to it often.

♫Taemin’s Solo (apparently it is called Romeo + Juliet)
I don’t particularly like this song but the dance was amazing even though his costume could have been burned. It was from the Juliette era and I remember it well because I dislike their costumes and their concept.

♫Jonghyun’s Solo (a Wheesung song apparently!!)
Jonghyun’s note is amazing but other than that, I don’t really remember anything about this song. Well… it is not my type of genre I guess? Why so? I am not too sure about that either.

♫Minho’s Solo (OMG by USHER)
The whole performance is very TVXQ incorporated with TVXQ dance moves and TVXQ actions and it just reminds me everything about TVXQ. Especially when he ripped his shirt and pull it down. All fangirls were going “omg so hot. /nosebleeds” but I am going “omg I miss TVXQ”. Wrong group, wrong time but it is my brain and I can’t help it if it thinks like that.

♫Key’s Solo feat. Taemin as a girl (My First Kiss by someone I don’t know and don’t care about)
This song was all crazily hyped because of Taemin dressing up as a girl and I find it so hilarious. Taemin was doing a catwalk down the aisle and going “look I am so prettay~” okay jokes aside, this song was awesome. Even though I don’t know the singer and I don’t know this song, I think this song is pretty awesome (and now sziyi will just say I am biased again!!).

♫A-YO
In other words, the song that made me fall head over heels with the 2 perfections known as Choi Minho and Lee Jinki. I died when Minho pointed at us and Onew doing that peace sign at us right after Minho pointed at us. Can I just marry them already? Okay that was an overstatement but still… Anyway I love this song and doing the dance together with them (just the hand actions!) was pretty fun. I got to enjoy something like that even without my JE concerts. And from our place, we can actually see Taemin running out after changing from his girly costume from the Pen B exit/entrance. It was pretty fun to witness the entire thing.

♫ROMANTIC
Did I mention how much I love this song? Not to mention hearing it live for the first time? This is all you need to know how I felt when I listen to this song.

♫Obsession
I don’t really remember this song clearly. Except the fact that I was actually slanted sideways while trying to see Key (who is right at the other end of Pen B) and people were pushing me against the stupid barrier and I was practically dying.

♫Graze
This is also one of my favourite songs in their first album. We can actually see staff standby with the chairs, ready to bring them up the stage for the boys to dance with, nearing the end of Obsession and I admit, I thought it was for Love Like Oxygen. It was pretty cool I love the choreography for this song. Admittedly, I was staring at Key most of the time but…

♫Replay
First thing that hit me, “THIS IS NOT THE REMIX VERSION!!!!” My favourite song since they debut. Nothing can beat this song though admittedly, maybe some of their other songs are nicer but this is actually still my favourite song. People might say that it is not as nice as Jojo, not their nicest song, but who cares? I love it and it is all that matters. This was the song when they debut and this song will stay with them forever. Can you imagine how happy I was when I heard the music?

♫Love Like Oxygen
It was funny to see this song when they are wearing colourful costumes. I am so used to them wearing black and white when performing this song (ages ago) that it seems funny to me now. And the highlight for me is always the part when they flip their jackets but only Jonghyun had a jacket to flip this time. Regardless, this song is amazing (though not as amazing as Replay).

♫Quasimodo
I was bored during the video, honestly. It just shows they crying, and more crying and the video was long and blam! The music played and they started singing. I love this song though. Someone needs to put Key in an angle in which I can at least not try so hard to see him. Why does he have to stand so near to the end and make life difficult for me? /sad face But the white clothes are pretty so it is a plus point!

♫Life
I almost cried during this song. I think they should know not to put 2 sad ballads together. It will just make me feel like crying and feeling all guilty for leaving fandom. This is actually my favourite song from the second album and I actually cried while listening to the studio version.

♫Onew’s Solo (Nessun Dorma)
Not a fan of operas and I cannot appreciate them. Onew’s voice did sound nice though. I shall take this chance to say that none of the solos actually captivated me. Not even Key’s made me go, “OMG THIS IS AWESOME!” The green laser thing was pretty amazing though! The effect is very pretty.

♫I-think-this-is-a-song-for-kids…?
I don’t know the title of this song due to the fact that I am not a Korean and this is not a SHINee song. It just shows pretty SHINee angels appearing and flying to this kid who fell on the ground and Onew appearing with angel wings to hug this boy and they disappeared through the Pen B exit. And they sang of course!

♫Ring Ding Dong
I got to admit that this song really sounds better live than the studio version. Maybe it is due to the fact that the studio version just pisses me off due to repeated plays (OVERRATED!) but the live was really good. You can actually hear fans screaming to “LING DING DONG LING DING DONG LING DIGIDING DIGIDING DIGIDING DING DING” and I would that pretty hilarious because people behind me were screaming that. And JONGHYUN’S SHOES WERE VERY PRETTY: black with hot pink.

♫Up&Down
Haha this was when everyone’s tension when up the roof. It could have broke through the roof for all I know. The boys were running through the aisle and I think this was the point where Jonghyun looked at us? I remembered he looked at us but did not wave or do anything. Not sure if it is during this song.

♫Ready or Not
And everyone’s tension went higher. The boys just went crazy on stage and began jumping and running around. I still think I am amazing for knowing lyrics to songs I have only heard a few times.

♫Lucifer
It is actually the weirdest song to end a concert with. But this song was amazing except that the remix version still sounds funny to me. I was trying to hold back my laughter when they go “we are the shinee shinee shinee shinee”. It is funny no matter how many times I listened to it. The claws were pretty cool and the laser from the claws (!!); and how they actually did the ending pose with the claws and not their fingers. I was actually going “omg are you serious??!” when the next thing they showed on the screen was “Thank you for coming”. 

ENCORE

♫Jojo
I was actually waiting for the Jongho kiss but Minho only ruffled Jonghyun’s hair. On another note, I WAS WEARING THE SAME SHIRT WITH SHINEE. I was so happy when I saw that they were not wearing their own tees. Okay you know that I am weird already. It was a little bit of fashion disaster though. Who would match white pants with white shoes?! And Jonghyun actually ripped his sleeves away.

♫Bodyguard
The only thing I remembered was the boys throwing all the balls at us and I didn’t manage to catch any since the angle is horrible. Key actually kissed the balls before throwing and people were scrambling to get it. I wanted to keep one for souvenir but… regardless; it was actually pretty funny to watch. And they started splashing, pouring water over one another and Taemin actually attempted to spit water at us but we gave the very shock look and he splashed water from his bottle on us. I didn’t get the water though! HAHAHA. Taemin actually spitted the water at Jonghyun and it was pretty hilarious. Sorry Jonghyun. And all the interactions between them were very very cute.

Short Talk
I totally didn’t understand what Jonghyun was talking about and the translator actually translated it to be something like they played with water because it is a very hot day. I was thinking that I have to play with water everyday then! Jonghyun why are you like that!

♫One
Because I know it is going to be the last song… I actually almost cried (yet again). I was on an emotional rollercoaster ride throughout the whole concert.

After which, was their thank you to everyone who went to the concert and they actually picked up a couple of hats to wear and “HAPPY KEY’S DAY” banners. Taemin was such a brat. He was going “Everyone did you enjoy yourself today?” in Korean and everyone was going “YESSSSSSSS” or “DAEEEEEEEEEEEE (which means yes in Korean)” and then he said, “Do you even understand what I was saying?” Taemin why are you like that!!!

And everyone actually sang Key a happy birthday song, cued from Jonghyun. Love for Jonghyun went up a little again. Jonghyun actually said “HAPPY BIRTHDAY KEY I LOVE YOU”, and totally covered Key with pink party string spray. After that, the cue for Key’s random dance party starts (thanks to Jonghyun~)!


Before the concert, I was actually really irritated by this girl who totally spoilt my mood for the concert. She is such a bitch and she is only sec 2. And here goes the story:
She asked my cousin if my cousin wants to queue with her for SWC and my cousin said okay. I requested that she do me a favour by getting someone to stand in for my friend (Sziyi) because she needs to work. She blatantly refuse to help and give stupid excuses just to get out of helping us. I was fine with that. So on the day itself when we queue (at the official queue), I was standing quite in front with Sziyi, my cousin and another friend. She told us that she wants to cut into our queue. I told her a flat no and if she wants to, she can go and talk to the security guards. When we (sziyi and I) went off for lunch, she actually cut into our queue because my cousin don't know how to say no. SEE WHAT A BITCH SHE IS? I hate her and stupid fangirls like that just ruin my mood. She is such a bitch and to think someone like that exist...

During the concert, I was actually squashed between the barrier and the hoard of fangirls trying to squeeze to the front and there were lots of pushing. I was molested and squashed into a very awkward position and slanted side ways and trying to move away, etc. You get the drift.

But I never regretted getting mosh tickets despite the unhappiness I faced before and during the concert. The peace sign and smile from Onew, the fact that Minho noticed us, The fact the Taemin actually noticed that we were smiling at his dorkiness, the fact that Key waved at us, Jonghyun smiled at us, it was all worth it. If only I can turn back the clock, I would get the arena tickets and see this SHINee world in a whole new level.

Another reason why I totally enjoyed the concert, my soulmate was with me. Doing crazy things like buying the shirt, screaming like crazy fans we are, waiting till the crew actually chase us out of the concert hall, screaming happy birthday to key at the top of our lungs when most people left, etc. Thankyou<3



Thank you for bringing me back into the fandom, SHINee.
 

Went out at around 10.45AM to go to the airport to see U-KISS with SY. Reached Terminal 3 at around 11.30AM but there wasn't many people there... sadly. After SY came to meet me at 1PM(?), we realised that it was suppose to be at Terminal 2 so we rushed there by Sky Train and got a sit in front of the barricade. There wasn't a lot of people at that point of time because not many people know that it was at Terminal 2. FALSE INFORMATION BY SOME FORUM. ):

So we were in front of the barricade waiting for a good 2 hours before U-KISS arrived. As expected, everyone stood up about 30mins before the plane landed and we were one of the few (only <10 people) people still sitting down lol. Quite annoyed by the people behind who are pushing us and we felt to suffocated so we stood up when the plane landed for around 15mins. Almost (note the word) all the fangirls started screaming when the plane landed and it was kind of funny.

U-KISS CAME OUT 30MINS AFTER THE PLANE LANDED AND WAS WAVING TO US FROM THE BAGGAGE COLLECTING BELTS. Everyone started screaming when they saw the boys. According to some people in front, the boys waved at us so it lead to more screaming.

So, Soohyun heard fans screaming Kiseop apparently and got Kiseop to look at us. KISEOP DID THE "I LOVE YOU" SIGN TO US. Putting his hand over his head and making a heart shape if you get what I mean haha. AND EVERYONE JUST DIED LOL. It resulted in more screaming and flailing and squealing. OMG KISEOP I THINK I JUST FELL IN LOVE WITH YOU THERE AND THEN.

After which, they walked out and the screams intensified. My hand was shaking so much I could not even take clear pictures so all the pictures I took were very blurry. Alexander was waving to everyone and Kiseop was waving to our side when he walked pass. DID I MENTION? I WAS ONLY ONE AND A HALF ARM AWAY FROM KEVIN. I SWEAR THIS BOY IS PRETTY EVEN IN REAL LIFE AND TALL. I ALMOST CRIED WHEN I SAW KEVIN OKAY. LIKE OMG I FINALLY SAW HIM AGAIN AFTER 2 YEARS. /cues: sobbing/ No, all of you dont get that feeling because I waited 2 years just to see him again. Eli is handsome in real life. TV appearances dont do him justice AT ALL. Soohyun was the last to come out so uhm, sorry Soohyun but Kevin took my attention away from you.

The whole thing went by in a flash but I can say that I did not regret waiting a few hours just to catch a mere few seconds glimpse of them. I hope that one day I will be able to catch the live performance of these boys again. These boys are just, in one word, amazing. But even amazing is an understatement if you get what I mean. Fan Service is a major PLUS point for them.

Sorry if this report seemed a bit too fangirly. Haha~ And nope, I still cannot get over the fact that I am only one and a half arm distance away from Kevin.





i love u-kiss more than you can ever imagine.
