Korea Craze!

안녕하세요!

Been a while since I last updated. 잘 진애? ^^

Well, CASE-G has pretty much been inactive (and I doubt we'll be active again anytime soon, though I HAVE continuously been dancing) hence the long hiatus from updating my blog.

ANYWAY!

On the 5th of November, being the crazy SMTOWN fans we were, Minmin and I went on a trip to Korea!

...

...

...

Ok fine, I was kidding. 

We went to "Korea Fair" held at ISETAN KLCC where we saw official merchandises from SM ENTERTAINMENT! 

Look at the pink logo!

And don't forget the super HD TV playing all of SMTOWN's MVs @@

Look at how 'high quality' this take of Sulli is!

And this is only like...the BIGGEST POSTER AROUND!

THE POSTER AT THE BACK! ...Told you it was big! ;)

Before I go further, lemme just take a few moments to give a shout-out to f(x) fan, Mr Thomas씨! who took great care of the 2 country girls the whole duration of this trip! Wouldn't have made it to and fro in one piece without ya! :D 

Needless to say, official merchandises were expensive, hence I didn't get anything. QAQ

Did really intend to get some things but seriously my taste was too expensive for my own good. The cheapest around was a pencil with 'XOXO' carved on it... and like "Why would I buy a pencil?"and so, I didn't get anything.  ==

I did go around taking photos though ㅋㅋㅋ 

Seriously though, crop this photo a little and it'd appear as though Luhan's looking at me ㅋㅋㅋ

So after both Minmin and Thomas bought some merchandises (Minmin got a fan of Yuri and Thomas bought SNSD goods and a Victoria bookmark), we went straight to the food section. 

WHY? 

Because we both love FOOD

...and that was when I came across this!

Pumpkinsssssssss

You'd probably be alarmed, but a medium sized pumpkin could easily cost a 3-digit price. These are the cheaper (and funnier shaped) small ones. Anyway this is not my point!

To put things simply, KLCC is a shopper's paradise. Of course, instead of clothes and stuff, my favourite department would be the food department, because they're just so many imported goods! I even had my first 막걸리 ('Makgeolli', or Korean rice wine) that day which...really just tasted like alcohol, so... I don't know, I can't get any more specific than that. /.\

And then there was banana milk! But it was really expensive so I couldn't get one (TT TT) But I did spend a lot of money on food though! Missing the bibimbap I had for lunch already (TT TT) Expensive but totally worth it. I mean... where else can you find bibimbap served with gochujang?! ABSOLUTELY HEAVENLY!!! Paradise in my mouth!!!

I bought a load of things with the Lotte label on it. "What is Lotte", you ask? Only like the most well-known food company in Korea! Bought rice cakes and Pepero~~ Ahhh~ Lovely. 

And as though we weren't usually smart enough already, Minmin and I shared the same thought of bringing home some side dishes so that we could eat it with rice（＾∇＾) , which we TOTALLY DID. Bought white radish kimchi (which didn't really taste as good as the usual kimchi), seasoned filefish slices (this one was absolute paradise) and kimchi pancakes. 

We toured the whole food department, even out of the Korean food fair. Spent a hell lotta time at the ice-cream section just looking at all the imported ice-cream. BEN & JERRY'S omgggggggggg... 

Then we got to the topic about moving out of the dorms (so that we could get a fridge and store food) ㅋㅋ What can I say? We love food. Our hometown raised us for 18 years with delicious food, old habits die hard. :P

Ahhh~ It's been so long since I had so much fun! 

I. totally. have. to. do. this. again.

XOXO,

Me!

我爱的他

他很真实，不会虚伪做作，这也是我最爱他的地方。

他可以很帅，也可以很萌。

他驾驭得了浪奔，也完全适合顺毛。

他穿什么都好看，是人型衣服架子。

他皮肤白的让人嫉妒，身材好的让人羡慕。

他是瓜子脸的代表，却可以一秒钟变包子。

他笑起来眼睛眯成月牙，可爱的要死。

他一年前还是175，一年后就181了。

他有三个闪光点；
不是微笑的眼睛，就是温暖的心
要么就是我最爱的那对性感的锁骨

他觉得自己最性感的时候；
“沐浴后站在镜子前耍帅，虽然还不够性感，
但还是有些帅气的，因为只有我一个人看。”

他小动作很多,
喝水时鼓着嘴巴，撩刘海，

他皱眉成了一种习惯，让人总误以为他不开心;
紧张了就会吐舌，不自主的眼睛向上看，就像在翻白眼。

他超爱喝水，更爱喝奶茶.

他是波点控，帆布鞋控，也是帽子控，
这点都和我很像。

他会跳舞。

我第一次见到到他不会觉得怎样，

一直到那天的那次舞台才爱上他魅力四射。

他有很多昵称, 其中就是 “踩脚先生”
因为会经常踩到别人的脚。

他理想的表白方式:
在一个沙滩边看着烟花，拉着手说
“没你我不行的，我爱你，到死为止。”
我只能说，“很牛。”

他像是很酷的男友, 可是心里最想要的还是
受伤时真心地担心跑过来替自己擦药的女友。

他最关心的其实就是
入睡前和起床后的苦恼，今天要穿什么衣服好看呢？

他，如果追求超能力的话，
想能够控制心情和感情，因为
“看到所爱的人们受累的样子很会伤心啊。”

他小时候想当总统，目的是为了要当有名人。

他六年级的时候很好奇女生厕所的涂鸦，于是让朋友把风，

自己像拍007一样进里面看了涂鸦。

他小学的时候班主任说
“他前世一定是王的男人里的男主一样的人，
因为又漂亮又high。”

他小时候老参加爬山组织。
路上如果老师说“蝉”，他就会马上跑到一棵树前学知了贴在树上。

他小学时候上课时曾走错教室，灵机一动：
“嗯，我是来借粉笔的。”

他无论在哪里，和谁在一起，总会是老幺
可是也会照顾人，会像大哥一样搂着我逛街。

他是大胃王，却吃不胖，
和我一起吃饭，两人都吃得饱。

他看起来不会撒娇，像寒梅高傲，

私底下是哭包，还萌得不得了。

他笑点高，经常放空。

他平时不笑，一笑起来像天使般灿烂。

他是傲娇货，会耍小性子，却让人越来越爱，讨厌不起来。

他爱犯迷糊。
他一直以来很努力，很认真，很辛苦。

他会为了我注意形象，不会让我失望。

他不善用言语表达自己，

每一次吵架后，晚上入睡前哭着默默祈祷

“要一直在一起” 的就是他。

他外表上是个白马王子，内心只不过是个孩子，害怕一个人搭电梯。

他每次写讯息，告别前一定会写
“要永远在一起”。

还有很多很多，都是我所爱的那个他。
但不论怎样，他就是这样一个特别的存在。
他是独一无二的我爱的他。

CASE-G: " OTL " Moment

One of CASE-G's most " OTL " moments revealed!

(From left to right) Eomma Alise, Me!, Minmin & Carmen

Taken on the day of our first "CASE-G Diary" recording, we decided to snap a photo of our first-in-a-very-long-time dance rehearsal. Our classes are at different times and Minmin is always so busy... ( T_T)＼(^-^ )

So while we were trying to snap a photo with eomma's camera, eomma who also helped record our short dance practice video (which we won't be revealing .__.) forgot to switch back to camera mode and it took us a while to figure out that we were being recorded!

Look at how eomma's smile changed and Carmen's "OTL" expression after realising! But how candid is this, right?!

It's my first attempt at creating a GIF image, so please forgive the flaws. ^^
Here's the full video of this "facepalm-ing" scene!

XOXO,
Me~!

Neverland

"If you are Peter Pan, I am Tinkerbell."

The you that I love.
For taking care of me,
you are a brother.
For making me comfortable,
you are a friend.
For teaching me how to love,
you are a lover.

The you that I love,
you are not mine alone.
This love that I have to share
is alright
because I know,
the love you deserve
is so much more.

More than this,
if you are Peter Pan,
then I am Tinkerbell.
From the start till the end,
I am and will be
in Neverland.

My dear,
you must remember this story,
of the you who stopped in time,
and the me who stopped with you.

When you are silently
bringing back joy to those who lost,
you are Peter Pan,
following Tinkerbell,
who was sent by memories in Neverland.

The place with only you and I,
we smile
eternally stopped in time.
You will always be my Peter Pan,
and nobody else would understand you
like I do.

But love,
you must know that there is more to this story,
that I am only
a little existence by your side.
Told differently,
this tale
of Tinkerbell's heart.

Of how it aches
when you look in her eyes,
or how alone
when she smiles.

I know,
one day in this life,
we'll say goodbye.
You'll find your Wendy
and leave me behind.
And I'll live in memories,
stopped in time,
and you'll never need to know
how I loved you as mine.

If you are Peter Pan,
I am Tinkerbell,
left alone
after Neverland.

---

You know,
that this is our story.
So dear,
you must promise to not feel sad for me,
though I may cry at first
you must know that I can smile
eventually.

Before Wendy,
those memories of you,
I will keep them in Neverland,
a diary of our own.
Your smiles, they'll be kept as photos.
In Neverland,
you will still be there,
remaining the same.

We will live forever
in Neverland,
like Tinkerbell &
Peter Pan.

"How much did you change while the clock's strings were turning?

I turned the last page that is written about you.

But I have no courage to read it,

I will erase the sad words.

Our story is not over,

because we will meet again."

CASE-G Diary, Ep 1!

A sneak peak into our practice session of our first 'fun cover', "Gee"! 

(Don't get too excited, we're not leaking the dance, but rather our goofball-ness on camera!)

NOTE: 

All "Behind The Scenes" idea was thought out by adorable Minmin~! ♪( ´▽｀) and none of the scenes were rehearsed. :D

We were also kicking each other's asses but we probably missed that out .___.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On the side note, doesn't this make a good cover photo? 

2 out of the 5 members of CASE-G~ 

Well, count this as a pre-debut teaser photo maybe? （≧∇≦）

"Mystery, mystery,

Molla molla ajik urineun molla~ （≧∇≦）"

XOXO, 

Me!

Practice #1!

Sorry for the short hiatus on the dance update! I AM BACK!

After the sad event of our beloved maknae (no, not the maknae of the dance group) leaving us for another college, the rest of us got into webcam craze. We started recording video messages, and I started recording covers... LOL! I meant vocal covers. (*Eomma Alise is in charge of recording dance covers .__.*)

It's taking forever to upload so I thought I'd do a better one before officially uploading it. STAY TUNED. :P

---

It's been so long but we finally got the customised "Gee" choreo and positions down!

Behold my rough position sketch! (at least compliment my writing, yo~!) 

Our positions are denoted by those alphabets, 

S referring to me, 

A referring to Eomma Alise,

G referring to Minmin~ <3 &

C referring to Carmen. 

As you can see, there are only the 4 of us, and our maknae Edwina isn't with us. Don't worry though, she didn't transfer, just...she refuses to dance the cutesy type. X)

We had to customise the 9-person choreo to a 4-person one, and so many position changes had to be done (TT.TT) Took us 2 hours in the dance room today to "trial-and-error" and only had the last 10 minutes to go through it once. 

Obviously, we didn't remember our parts and positions so practice #1 was sooooo ugly. We may or may not make our practice video open to the public cause it was sooooo ugly, but even if we do, remember to take it with a pinch of salt, just for laughs.

Eomma was holding the paper the whole time, but after the dance commented (to me) that "Your paper is confusing!" (TT.TT)

So... I promised to make a better one. (Working on it now! ...since the classes for today have ended, woo~!)

Anyway, thanks so much to Eomma Alise for helping out so much with the arrangement. Stuff couldn't have been done so quickly without eomma's witty thinking! Leader-eomma should also be choreographer now X) 

and much thanks for putting great effort in dancing. Dancing isn't dancing if you don't feel the joy doing it :)

Also, kudos to eomma's red jeans today! Also helped to pick out our styles. Eomma Alise has so many responsibilities. X)

Off to practice! 

...and re-edit my choreo paper X)

Behold le Carmen!...and eomma's red jeans. XD 

XOXO,

Me!

You: That Little Piece Of Me

I came to college, met new people.
Youngsters, and our affairs of the heart.
It was attraction, the excitement in getting to know someone new,
that I forgot that little piece of me
called you.

---

With you,
It's been 451 days.

You,
who was once a complete unnoticeable stranger
taught me that love comes unexpected.
Just a glance, yet it wasn't love at first sight.
I don't remember why
but you were there and so was I.

You,
who is perfect in everyone's eyes
made me see that you were just a boy.
Shy, vulnerable, with flaws of your own,
even taught me that love isn't about loving the loveable
but loving the little things that nobody else could notice.

You,
who said that dreams will come true if I don't give up.
I believed you,
who left your country for your dreams.
You gave me the strength to chase mine,
so that next time I can stand worthily next to you.

This story about you engraved in my heart.
You were far away,
when the person you love posted that past photo of you and her.
She wished you luck & apologised that it ended this way,
and she was getting married.
It was the first time I cried,
not because you had a lover
but for you.
"How much it must have hurt to watch her go with someone else."
You taught me
that loving doesn't need meaningful returns
and even if you never look this way, I can feel happy as long as you feel it too.

There was another first time.
When I saw your photos as a child.
With a familiar smile, exactly
like the one that I love so much:
No pretences, sincere and true.
You hugged an older friend.
It was the first time then
that I proudly said
"He's still as gentle as he was before." 


At the airport.
When I see you,
you are always alone.
It must be lonely at the top, right?
Even if you smile,
even if you say "no",
your eyes
show.

Once in this life,
if I get a chance,
I would sit next to you.
Like a friend,
I would be there for you.

To have felt such a rush when I talk about you,
to have smiled stupidly to myself when I see you smile,
to have loved when I see you loving what you do,
to have tirelessly stood all day just to see you,
to have scribbled your name in textbooks,
to the extent that my parents know your name.
People call me crazy,
and I might have been crazy before,
but it's not a feeling that everyone has gone through,
but I have because
there is you.

In my memory,
there will always be
the boy with the most beautiful smile
who dreamed of becoming president.
And the fortunate feeling
that he didn't.
Otherwise,
that smile that I love,
would it still be the same?

There are times,
I wonder who you were to me in my past life.
To have met you
now,
like this,
for you to give me so much,
for me to love you so much,
like this.

A feeling, a love
that cannot be put into words.
Many people would not understand
why in my youth
did I love you this much.
They may ask why you are worth
all my heart.
I will tell them, that
"fortitude" is not something that can be taught by anyone,
and you
gave me this precious thing.

My love,
to become someone worthy of you,
I have done all I can up till today.
To be better,
to be stronger.
To one day, be able to stand next to you
deservingly.
To tell you personally
how thankful I am to not have missed you in the midst of billions of people.
"Thank you" for your companionship
be it crying or laughing
over the past years.

We are growing up.
You,
who once said,
in 10 years,
"I want to get married."

And loving is not about meaningful returns.
You taught me.

The day you say your vows,
I will cry,
be it tears of joy or the other.
The place I dreamed of standing
will one day be taken by the person who loves you
as much or maybe
more than I do,
for me and for you.

You are,
in simple words
"a piece of me",
my life.
To you,
I am a "guardian angel".
Unworthy
of having me by your side.

Then in the next life,
you don't have to be the one to shine,
and I don't have to be the "guardian angel".
You would just be a boy,
and I would just be a girl,
and I will be able to get closer to you.
In the next lifetime,
I will still be loving you.
But that time,
instead,
let me be the one to give you courage.

But the next lifetime is still far away.
In this lifetime,
in 20, 30, 40 years to come,
the white-haired me will be flipping a yellowing diary
filled with photos of the black-haired you.
Then,
let me be the one to tell my grandchildren
that
"I used to love you that...that much..."
