Update:
OMG Jang Guen Suk is coming to Singapore next month for a fan meeting. In case you didn't know, he's the star of hit drama, You're Beautiful, which I have the DVD but have yet to watch haha. But don't think I'm going luh cos I'm not a hardcore fan of his and tix costs like $168 :/ Haha but if you're interested, go to the organiser's website for more details (:

I'm only going to update on one thing today and that is SHINee!! :D

So it started from yesterday. Met Nad at IMM at freaking 6.30am to queue to get the album. It was super dark luh. A group of people asked us to register and we just did as told. Apparently, we were no 857 and 858. Well, we of course doubted that the numbers we had were official and I'm still pretty sure they weren't. But it did help cos the situation was waaaayyyy more organised than the last time at Lot One. Fans were actually queuing up in an orderly manner all the way to level 3. So I'm glad for that. After about 4 hours of waiting and queuing, we finally got our albums which costs $35 each. Wasn't too excited about the album cos I already have it, but more happy for the entry pass (: And after an hour or so, we went back to see if they were still selling the album so that I could buy for my sister. And yup, they still were. They even asked if I wanted to buy one or two albums. Haha. It's such a contrast from the fan signing event at Lot One the other time cos there were way too many people but limited albums. Now, there are more than enough albums but not as many people buying heh. In fact, I heard that when they closed the booth yesterday, there were still 600 albums left unsold and they actually started selling again this morning. Interesting huh. But SHINee deserves a sold out event! (:

And actually, today, entry to the roof garden opens at like 8am BUT cos we wanted to go for the NUS Open House, we couldn't go early to get the best positions :/ Haish shouldn't have gone for NUS Open House luh cos the talks were super boring and it's not like whatever they're talking about are things that I don't already know. Plus, I could hardly sit still and pay attention cos I was too excited to see SHINee! Haha. After the talk ended at 12pm, we rushed all the way too IMM and managed to reach there by 12.30pm but of course, by then, there were already alot of people.

Waited for about an hour plus before the host came out at like 2.15pm. Yes, the showcase was supposed to start at 2pm but ah wells, it was expected. The host was like speaking in Mandarin at first but we wanted him to speak in English, for the non-Mandarin speakers like me and he nicely tried to (: Then there was just a lot of talking just to buy time luh. And finally, at around 2.30pm, SHINee came out!! They had a short introduction and stuff which I wasn't really paying attention to cos I was too busy looking at them in awe haha. Then they performed Replay (Remix) and JoJo. Then they had a short interview segment. Super cute lah all of them! And then the fans sang a birthday song for Jonghyun oppa who's birthday is only on 8 April. So, they were all so confused at first as to whose birthday it was (especially Key! OMG so cute!) but then realised that it was an advanced birthday song for Jjong! (: Then, they performed Ring Ding Dong before they exited the stage. All that in just 30mins. It's really not enough, I want to see more of them. But it was definitely AWESOME! Worth every cent and second (:

Oh but did I mention that it was raining? Yes, very heavily in fact and I was quite soaked cos we were standing at the side. We were standing in the middle at first but there were just too many people so we couldn't see anything. The view we had wasn't the best but it was still AWESOME ^.^

I want them to come again! Saranghae SHINee! (:

And here's some great fancams of the showcase from someone who was in the first row. Lucky person! Haha. They're much better than my own fancam so enjoy! (:

Here are the photos that I took this afternoon. Not the best quality, but I'm satisfied (:




















Umm here are my fancams. Gosh they're really not great. But at least I have my own videos to be reminded of this very special day (:

Oh and SHINee also performed at the Singapore Entertainment Awards yesterday. They performed the same three songs - Replay (Remix), JoJo & Ring Ding Dong. They also won the New Generation Artiste award. I didn't go for it cos the whole event was like 5 hours and in Mandarin, which I can't understand. There's gonna be a broadcast of the awards show on Starhub Channel 56 on April 2nd at 7pm, with a repeat on April 3rd at 12.30am. I didn't subscribe to that channel, so can't watch it :/ So, if you share the same fate as me, enjoy these awesome fancams from someone who was standing in the mosh pit, I assume. You can see the boys sweating and all. So damn hot haha.

Love & Respect.
