It is now 4.30pm. Class ended about an hour and a half ago. Going home in about an hours time, just before it gets dark. It has been awhile since I last blogged properly. I guess I shall waste some time blogging now, just before this memory goes down the imaginary vacuum machine in the back of my head.
On the side note, I have survived long enough before this facebook timeline shit hit me. It finally came. Still finding it dumb as ever. Mehhhhh
Mumsu had an event planned out about 2 months back before the trip itself. I guess I understand why; it involved three universities : RMIT, Melbourne Uni and Monash Uni. We were to meet up at uni around 11pm, in the middle of the night as we had to head off to the city to pick up abour 20 plus people who were from the city (RMIT). Was dreading as we had to share a bus with people we don't know, and it was a midnight journey up to the mountains. Also because we had to ski immediately the next morning, that sleep was very very very much needed.
Soon the bus was filled up with Monash Clayton students and RMIT students. Assuming they were ALL MALAYSIANS as this was a collaboration trip within the three. If I was not mistaken, Melbourne Uni had 2 busses on their own? Or was it only one? Hrmmm. I wasn't too sure. I didnt get to meet many of them. I would have to say that they came with their own bus, we didn't get to mingle around much with them...? Hrmmm not too sure.
Reached Falls Creek close to 7am in the morning, it was SNOWING! For the first time in my life, I not only get to see snow everywhere, I got to see SNOW falling from the sky!! But of course, I was rather grumpy with my lack of sleep and I was seriously afraid of the cold, I couldn't bother much.
As soon as we dumped our luggage in a room, we had to get our skiing equipments (or snowboards). Then it was straight up to the peak for our lessons! For a complete noob like me, getting onto the skis itself was a big question mark for me. This was definitely something I have never thought of encoutering nor would I thought I will actually enjoy. :D Only by words that I took skiing instead of snowboarding as it was believed that skiing is much easier compared to snowboarding. What I learned that, anything that has to do with ICE and sports that is related to FEET, will be very tricky. The friction is something you have to find, in between of the balancing that is needed within the whole thing.
Learning to slow down from the slopes, learning to walk with the two heavy sticks on the end of your foot, learning that the boots are ungodly heavy (can somebody please tell me WHY ON EARTH ARE THEY SO HEAVY?! Much heavier than ice skating boots, man! D:), learning to steer through the snow. Beginners stuff, really. The temperature there is cold, extremely cold. But I guess it was the adrenaline to learn with that bizarre white layout everywhere was really distracting that it didn't really feel COLD at all. Yes it does feel cold after I realise it is cold, but it was almost immediately shaken off. Thanks to the snow on that morning, the layer of snow was fluffy and was rather nice to ski in. :D
Silly people like me, who has that thought, 'hey, I want to get down, but going down with that chair lift seems too scary... does it mean we have to ski our way down?'. So with the little experience we have on skiing, we went down the 'easiest' track. Which took us an hour because we were waiting out for one another and everybody was having problems with going down that slope. Some were thinking of walking all the way down, some were thinking of walking back up, but we all ended up going down anyways. Proud moment, actually. We all survived going down the slow with our gears! :D
But of course it scared the crap out of me. I still couldn't brake or slow down accordingly, turning seemed really scary still. Going down the slope again without anybody would probably be suicidal. LOL. Ended up hanging up there in the training grounds until I got bored before heading back to the bottom for a little rest.
Without sleep and a whole lot of skiing from 8 til 4 was pretty hardcore. :O
After getting our keys to the room, we immediately took turns to shower and went down for our much needed lunch.
We were all tired and we ended up passing out REALLY early that night. :P
HOHOHO~
same thing happend for the next day, we ski-ed from 9am til about 5.
This time, it took us half the time it took for us to go down that 'easiest' trail. Then I took up the courage to go onto other slopes as well, but only one other one though, I was still unsure if I was okay enough to tackle steeper slopes. :/
It is so hard to detect people up at the peak. Everyone has got their goggles on their faces and they were going down the slopes at different speed. You pretty much CAN NOT identify them unless they stop to speak or to take of their goggles for abit. Other than that, you would have to rely on your memory skills for remember the colour of the ski jacket that they were wearing. HAHAHAHAHAH
It didn't snow that day, and by 3pm, it was raining little droplets of ice. Worse still, it started fogging up, limited views drastically. As much as I wanted to ski somemore, the conditions were pretty much scaring me and I gave in at around 4.30pm.
The fog got me taking off my goggles just to see where I was skiing to. But the ice rain was literally poking my eyeballs with every drop from the sky! :( By the end of the day, my jacket and pants were drenched. Good thing they were water proof, other wise I would definitely be freezing in that weather. D:
My legs were pretty much jelly as soon as I took off those ski boots (seriously, why are they so ungodly heavy?!!).
Rushed down to dinner as soon as I can, as I was SOOOOOOOo HUNGRY! :X
Even sat there with a few of my newly made friends for the second round and was served more food eventhough I already had them. Since I was hungry, I went for it anyways. hehehehehe
Soon after, the Melbourn Uni people came over to our lounge and we had some icebreaking games. Made more friends, YEAY! :D Also had a game of charades. :F
That last night, I didnt' sleep at all.
Not too sure why, but something was telling me that I should be staying awake.
And I did. I ended up not sleeping at all for about 30 hours straight. HAHAHAHAHHAHA! I was half hyper to the extreme and was half DEAD. I was either doing something that I would normally do, but in a much extreme way or I would just stand there doing nothing while forcing myself to stay awake.
Left the the mountain about 2pm, reaching home at around 8.30pm.
Would have to say that the trip was rather short. But it was definitely something worth remembering. Made some new friends, and got to meet up with friends who I have met from the previous camp. The trip was seriously awesome, 3 unis of malaysian students, the mountain was literally flooded with asian kids, MALAYSIAN kids to be exact. :D
More trips like this, please? :)
I am honestly missing some of those people from the trip now. That feeling where I know I may not meet some of them ever again is SO HEARTBREAKING! :'(
Take care, people! <3

You know that time where you know you have to grow up,
but you don't know how to do so?
Growing up is an extremely slow process, it takes years.
Sometimes, I think I refuse to grow up.
Without a doubt, you will still need to grow up.
The moment when you think you have grown up enough, is the moment when society proves you wrong.
but you don't know how to do so?

You sit and you wonder, what to cook for dinner? What to have to lunch? When will I sit down and do my proper studying?
First day of uni, I felt the tremendous amount of stress loaded on my back. I knew I have to get things goings, otherwise, I will be losing my synchronization in studying. I prepared myself well the previous time I came, I had an allowance of a month to get used to the things here. I could easily snap back into that life if I wanted to. But I am somehow refusing to do so.
Deadlines, essay questions are being published, missed interview. It's a busy life, that I would want to live in. I know it is. But I am still refusing to sit down and start with my studying.
Yes, I am paying attention in classes. Yes, the subjects I am enrolled into this time fascinates me. But something is just not right somehow.

I watch my view number plummet from the first two months I left up til now. It decreases exponentially. I could not bother anymore. If one reads, then hooray for me. If nobody reads, fair enough. I can't force everyone to read what I write, right? Mehhhhh
Maybe because I lost interest in making my posts interesting for my lovely readers to read? :O
hahahahahaha. readers.
I am absolutely in love with the new gear my brother put up for this desktop. No idea what I am looking at, but it definitely does look badass. Definitely capable of several awesome games to game with. Also, this keyboard I am typing with right now is something I laikkkkeeeeee. :F It barely makes that superbly noisy sound normal desktop keyboards make. It still makes that clicking sound, but it is much more of a writing friendly kind. :D Not too sure how it would do when in games. Have been too used to the keypad that makes noise, so that I know how much I am pressing on the key. HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA oops.
I really need to get myself a gaming console someday.
Playstation 3 or an Xbox 360, I just need one.
My laptop is of no good. Oh the heartbreak.
Last night in Malaysia. Will be having my lovely sister as my flight companion to Melbourne tomorrow. :)
That woman is still playing blitz bejeweled downstairs now. LOL
That iPad has definitely got both my aunt and sister addicted to it. I thought I would be the one hogging it more than my aunt when I do get hold of it. BUT NO! HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHA I HAVE ESTABLISHED SELF CONTROL!!!
Though without a doubt, I have this addiction for youtube videos and 9gag now.
ooppsssss.
OKAY. I HAVES TO SLEEPS NOWSSS.
Seeing Mika tomorrow! <3

Why airstewardess?
For a chance to fly to different parts of the world, experiencing different cultures, meeting a whole lot of people all around the world.
And you are paid to do so.
Feels more like a research thing going on there. Self research, that is. But it is still a job. One that requires patience, perseverance and dedication? Also the fact that one will always be on the move, constantly moving around from places to places. Probably something I wouldn't mind. Plus the exposure would be tremendous, perhaps building my inner courage to built myself to become a sturdier individual. Just maybe...
It has been a month that I have been pampered into being my old self again. The old me who is not daring to stand up as an 'adult', the one who is highly dependent on people, the one who has brought some trouble just like always. I have totally ignored the fact that I have left for Melbourne and that I lived in Melbourne for about 4-5 months, and that I am only back for a trip. I was definitely enjoying myself. :)
But I have to leave these as it is, once again. Going back to the aussie life that I have built. At some point, I started to feel as though my 'aussie me' and my 'normal me', are two whole different personalities. Probably building myself a separate alter ego altogether. I could not relate these two personalities together at all, somehow.
Back here, I am surrounded with people. In Melbourne, I am surrounded with virtual people.
I never speak of Australia to my Malaysian friends. Thinking that it was no point sharing as it was a bittersweet start for me and it was a very long story to even present to them. People will definitely lose interest at probably the icing of the story, and then drift off, changing the topic.
Honestly saying, they seem to have stories that were much more interesting than mine. Theirs were ongoing, current, easily relatable amongst them. Who was I kidding?
Myself, definitely.
Live in my own shadows, engulfing myself with questions that I could only answer by guessing. But at least I got my answers now. Only thing left to do, is let time do it's magic. *science has thought me well in this sense, questioning and being extremely curious, then learn why it turned out that way* science freak. I love bio! :D
I want to graduate with a major in Zoology in Australia, then get a job as an airstewardess.
Owh, I will. :)

My life now, is in Melbourne.
The me now, knows that I have to return to Melbourne and live there. Current plan would be forever, but who knows, consequences will change things.
Malaysia, will still be home. A place where I can find comfort in, a place where I am familiar most, a place where it will remain as a past for me.
Macau, is the place where I see myself grow up. The time to time visits I have here, shows the vast differences from each visits I make here.
Would one say that I am lucky for having that benefit of travelling around, or would it be a sad thing that I can barely have enough time in places I'd rather be?
We humans, can never have enough of what we have; we always want more.
We always will.

Seriously the people here are cute as hell! :D
Went on a day tour to the gyeongbukdong and folk village. Surprising how small the palace is in compared with the Chinese dynasties. Also realised today that Korea is actually a so called branch from China, never united, but they have similarities in their tradition. Would have to say that the Koreans are much more humble as compared to the Chinese. This being the comparison of several thousand years ago. Life back then seems really simple. Nothing fancy like the day today. Funny how things changes drastically over time.
Folk village was quite in relation with the palace, very much the olden kind. Though they may be artificial, but they tried to mimic the olden days' picturesque feel. What stuns me most is that the people of jeju island really used pigs as their poo area. The pigs were actually fighting to eat poo right in front of us. :X Then I asked the tour guide if the people then would still eat the pig after that, she said they do. That human poo area also functions as a pig sty. ...
Places worth visiting, really. Very cultural in a way, where it is worth knowing about.
What happens after that? Shopping of course!
Stumbled upon a very big sale in H&M, could not resist the temptation to get some pretty dresses for myself. HEH!
What annoyed me is that I accidentally stumbled upon an 'everysing' stall opened by S.M.Ent, selling albums at a much cheaper price than I bought earlier during my first day of shopping here. The difference could reach 6,000 won. The annoying part about it is that, H&M was having sale where a dress could cost only 6,000 won. URGHHHHHHH!
Lesson to everyone out there: when in Korea, wanting to shop for albums, you MUST buy it from any Everysing outlet!
Besides, I don't see how you can NOT visit an Everysing outlet if you are a huge fan of KPOP. It has everything related to S.M.Entertainment, it has a booth where you can audition, it has a place where you can take pics with celebrity (sticker kinda thing where you pose with celebrities on the screen). Who knows you will be spotted to be the next kpop star there too? :P
Wheeeeee~

As a person who wants to study zoology, eating a live organism is a little too much for me to accept.
It's a delicacy here to eat live octopus. Mummy was curious in wanting to try it, there was no stopping her, really. Which was a good thing, I got to see her surrender after three tries. Pretty sure mummy wanted me to try so that she doesnt feel left out eating it alone. I, knew I can never eat it. We had to ask them to cook it for is after the surrender. Hehe! Oh mummy.
The people here are really nice. They make an effort in trying to understand you and trying to make you understand what they are trying to say too. :) Despite the language barrier, communication still could go on. Mummy and her body language, and me with my minimal Korean, things are alright. If only I could speak better Korean. :X Still, the thought of them trying their hardest to help you is really nice. :) Yes, we have bumped into a few of those who could not care less about you, but these people were not as bad as those I have seen elsewhere ( Macau is actually scary as hell in this aspect. :| ).
The people here are adorable as hell too! :D Even just now, mummy wanted to buy this s3 headphone cover, and the 'vendor' was sort of playing with me. The typical tap-on-your-shoulder-and-disappear kind. LOL! Something that was totally unexpected. The taxi drivers here, thus far are old men. One of them made that jcute laugh, i-found-it!-hehe!! laugh. Hahahahaha! Seriously the people here are adorable!!!!!!! :D
Mummy wants to be adorable too. (facepalm)
K-pop music everywhere!! A few most common songs I have heard all over Seoul : 'Day by Day' by T-ara, 'I Love You' by 2ne1, that latest song by Sistar, 'Electric Shock' by f(x) and 'Sexy, Free & Single' by Super Junior. :D
Korean wave artists' merchandise, fake ones, have got one whole shop on its own. You can easily find poker cards, files, poster, diaries, fans, small notebooks and if you are lucky, some other unusual stuff like pens and tumblers. Hahahahaha! You still need to be lucky to find those things of your fav artists. Have been searching for super junior and girls generation, but as famous as they are, they are actually really rare. At least to have the nicer ones. They normally have one design only of about less than ten prints of it. :X MOST I see around is Jang Guen Seuk. Hoho.
Myeongdong, Dongdaemun, SinChon, IDae, Namdaemun, Namsan tower... DONE!
Shopped shit loads of stuff, really. D:

Slept for about 5 hours. :D
Such a pig. We then went to dongdaemun for a little shopping, while walking along cheonggyecheon for abit. I find the idea of cheonggyecheon very smart indeed. It has a flowing river in the middle of the city, causing the air flow in it, pretty cooling especially at night. Hehehe. *you should google it!*
Still confused with the currency change here. Honestly, everything here seems expensive, because they use their money in thousands. Not too sure why, but it makess everything look expensive. Plus the fact that I have to convert the currency from won to hkd then to rm and then to aud. I could easily spend the money freely, but the conversion has confused me to and epic scale indeed. :/
Not too sure what is happening, but my tummy seems to be having problems with the food here. Maybe it's because of the spiciness, maybe it's just that my tummy is not used to the food I eat. But it isnt as though I havent ate them before. :O I am confused. :/
No doubt about it, the food here is splendid! <3 That special tang of taste Korean dishes have, mmh!!! :D
Also, the fashion here is somewhat similar to those in Australia. Had myself shopping for many pretty summer clothes. Though I should be worried about winter in aussie now. Hrmmm. I still like summer. Heh! :D
Deng this tummy pain! ><

Who are we kidding, right?
We are too busy making sure we grow up well, making the best out of our own time, looking at the world turning around, we sometimes forget we are growing up.
But if we can't even remember that we ourselves are growing, who is going to remember that our parents are growing old, too?
Watching kids grow up, is one thing, we get caught up with their joys and eagerness in learning about the world.
Maybe it's not a nice thing to say to parents; you're old! Maybe they knew, but they don't bother realising it sometimes. But right now, this Korea trip with my mom, shows me the vast difference we have came upon after such a long time. The last time we went on a proper trip was... I don't know, 6 years? From a teenager then who only buys keychains and souvenirs for friends, to an almost adult now shopping for beauty products, and apparels. Mummy is getting old. It is my responsibility to bring her around now. But I am not ready to pick up this responsibility.
I refused to go on a free and easy trip with mummy to Korea. Knowing the language barrier and that everything here is in Korean, I was afraid that I would get lost, with mummy in my hands.
I don't know.
Is it because I just wanted to have a proper rest for my holiday, with nothing to worry about...
Or
I just wasnt prepared to take up the responsibility of being an adult daughter to my aging mother...?
She looks like a child. :P

But right now, this Korea trip with my mom, shows me the vast difference we have came upon after such a long time. The last time we went on a proper trip was... I don't know, 6 years? From a teenager then who only buys keychains and souvenirs for friends, to an almost adult now shopping for beauty products, and apparels. Mummy is getting old. It is my responsibility to bring her around now. But I am not ready to pick up this responsibility.
I refused to go on a free and easy trip with mummy to Korea. Knowing the language barrier and that everything here is in Korean, I was afraid that I would get lost, with mummy in my hands.
I don't know.
Is it because I just wanted to have a proper rest for my holiday, with nothing to worry about...
Or
I just wasnt prepared to take up the responsibility of being an adult daughter to my aging mother...?
She looks like a child. :P

Sleep.
It seems like it has become a priority in my life. No matter how difficult things turn out to be, I know sleep is something I must have, regardless.
With sleep, comes dreams. It may or may not occur, but lately they have been coming into my sleep, almost everyday now. There is something about dreams that pulls your spirit into it, whether you want to or not, you will eventually have to be forced to go through whatever that is happening in the dream. That curiosity of what might happen next, that feeling as though you are really there in the dream, that emotional attachment it has. It gets a little too overwhelming sometimes, where you would refuse to wake up, just to see what was bout to occur next.
The appearance of dreams has got me feeling very attached to dreams, where I feel fear in the real world. Some sort of feeling where if I experience something horrifying in reality, it would reoccur in my dreams and ruin it for me.
Hrmmm.

Manicure and pedicure with le mumsie. Not my kind of pampering, but it is hers for sure. Seems like one thing she looks forward to when she has a holiday; beautifying herself in anyway possible. Every given chance she has, she would try to bling me up too. Makes me feel like a child sometimes. Even right now, she was so excited about making me do pedicure when I wasnt even thinking about it, that glimmer of 'oooh!! You must do! You must do!' in her eyes and her tone made me feel like I couldnt say no. Its not often that she gets the chance to do her motherly stuff with me, why not?
That was pretty much the reason why mumsie always comes to China to pamper herself, I guess I understand. It is after all, much cheaper here. All I wanted to do here, was to get a makeover with my hair. It is cheaper, anyways. Didnt really bother what it would turn out to be, I just wanted to do something to my hair. :P
Initial idea was to have the bottom part of my hair white. Mumsie went a little berserk. Hahahahaha! Friends were not to convincing either. :(((( Still wanting something different with my hair. If time allows, imma try getting highlights of blonde and red. Is it even possible? Hrmmmm. We shall see what happens. :D
Let's talk about pampering! :)
My idea of pampering is where I get to eat GOOD FOOD. And by norm, good food is rather difficult to find and is also most of the time expensive. Heh! That, is my luxury. :D I wouldnt mind spending money on good food, really. If it comes to beautifying myself... probably not yet. HAHAHAHAHA!
When it comes to food, I could go all a distance just to find them good food. The greatest bummer is when the good food is no longer there. One very good example is the good awesome 'chan bao' and 'chu pa min' here in Macau. They were so good that it was all I ever think of was to eat if I were to come to Macau. Terrible me, yes I know. >< Ultimate sadness when it is no longer here. T.T
Now my Macau trip feels incomplete. :/
Throughout my stay in Australia, I have developed a fetish for bubbletea. Initially it feels like it was the only thing that would keep me away from homesickness. But as days passed, it become an addiction. ._.

When we are given that one chance to do something for the first time ever, the scarcity of it will bring an addiction in us.
Be it alcohol, clubbing, speeding or even shopping, it can be an addiction. We wouldnt want to admit such addiction most of the time, but we know very well that we want to do it again. Maybe not all the time, but we would want to do it again, at least once. By the time we fulfil that one momentary satisfaction, we would crave for it again. The cycle then repeats itself, over and over and over again.
Unless of course you develop a dislike of it. Be it out of fear, or just plain dislike, we would just stop there at our first try.
After all, there has got to be a reason why we were not given it when we were first born or something that we should learn to have as something important in our lives as a child.

The stadium wasn't full.
How is that possible?! I blame Venetian for this. According to my mummy, the people refused to sell the expensive ones before the cheaper ones were sold out. Turns out that the cheaper ones could not sell finish either. It made the concert hall looked so empty, I feel like crying!
Then they had that ridiculous dj, blasting clubbing music as though we were in a club or something. I understand that his purpose was to keep the crowd hyped up for the coming artists, but I somehow felt it just wasnt right. He came in and play his remixes of music every single time an artist leaves the stage, in prep for the next to come out. It worked okay for the first 3 artists, but the dj somehow ruined the mood from the madness between shinee and snsd's interval. We were probably too tired after u-kiss, bap and shinee, conserving energy for snsd. Hrmmm.
The first group came out to perform! I wasnt too sure if it was ukiss or bap as I am not a big fan of these two. Only knew ukiss for its debut song and also one or two others. The members didnt really appeal to me after two of its member left and ever since 'man man ha ni', I lost interest. Never came across bap either. Except that one time I was at a karaoke session where my two kpop fan friends were singing to. Oops. But hey! I still know they exist. And I payed to watch them too. :D
I seriously had no idea it was ukiss who performed first. Thinking that ukiss debuted much earlier than bap, I thought ukiss would come in 2nd after bap. Until they introduced themselves, I WAS SO WRONG!! That silly fangirl infront of my mother was standing up, holding her sign that says: saranghae. She nicely stood there with her placard in the air, screaming her lungs off. Okayyy. I shall continue with her later. It is RIDICULOUS! Back to ukiss, I didnt recognise the first two songs they sang, wasnt til they introduced themselves I was like... Oops. Then the finally sang something I knew: 0330. Le boys were so adorable, trying to bond with the crowd, speaking English and the little Cantonese they knew. Hahahahaha! You have got to love their adorableness and their attempts! *all kpop fans will understand this* then one other song, binguel binguel and lastly, man man ha ni. :)
BAP! Had a very cinematic, concert like feel with their part! You should search for the pic if you can, it did blew me away for abit. Starting to think that laser green flight is their thing, alongside the badass bunny logo. Special. Their performance reminded me of the charismatic superjunior. :P Biasness aside, I was thinking of mblaq while watching bap perform too. Hrmmm. I wonder why. But they did showcase promising vocals with their first song, and ending their part with... 'hate you'? Sorry bap fans! D:
Shinee!
What a disappointment!! :(
First, min ho wasnt there. Second, they only performed three songs as compared to the others with 5! :(((((((((((((((((((((((( without fail, onew, jonghyun, key and minho were beautiful little beings with exceptional vocals! <3 still wondering how they manage to dance and sing so flawlessly! :O it would have been better if all 5 of them came and performed 5 songs too. Still, satisfying!!!
So... That silly girl I was talking about initially? She totally zoned out after ukiss finished performing. LMAO! Even when the dj asked us all to stand up to hype up for shinee, she immediately moved like two seats away from her original seat, isolating herself from the hype everybody was getting in. LOL! Even with snsd. I was literally screaming and jumping my ass of behind her. Not only me, practically the whole hall was so hyped up for snsd and this girl was just sitting there on her chair, zoning out. What?
HERE COMES MY BIAS!!
SNSD! The reason why I changed my flight, the reason why I was glooming badly when they went to Malaysia while I was at Melbourne, the one artist I have been supporting ever since I knew them (since debut, really). I could go on and on about my love for snsd, it is that bad that I wondered if I was a lesbian for being such a huge fan. D: THE DAY I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR HAS FINALLY COME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe this is a little too much. But I was really that hyped up to watch them live! Though I may be rather far from the stage, it was still better than nothing. =')
Le 9 goddesses stood spread out on the top part of the stage, black shadows on the red background. Their perfect silhouette. How could such people look so perfect?! D: As they descend the stairs, they stood in a straight line, immediately I screamed: sowoneul malhaebwa!!! HAHA! Fanchants were the loudest I heard whole day, people everywhere were standing up (even my mummy!) gaaahhhh!! Heaven!!! :D They looked tiny from where I stood. Had to look at the screen to catch glimpses of how they look. Not too pleased with taeyeon's and sica's makeup. Pretty sure sica's mic had some problems too. Either that, or the sound system was pure crap. As it ended, the split into three lines : Run Devil Run! :D
They were wearing white hoot themed outfits. Seriously wondering how all of them could manage to keep their bodies in such perfect shape. Their legs! OMG! ( I secretly feel like I have their legs sometimes, especially sooyoung's :P ) Then they stopped to have a little chat with the crowd, introducing themselves one by one, the crowd going wild with each of their greetings. I just realised they upgraded their greetings : ANNYEONGHASEYO! SO NYUH SHI DAE IMNIDA! HELLO! WE ARE, GIRLS' GENERATION!! :D
Ooooooohhhh! All 9 of them came! <3
Then they proceeded with Hoot! Singing to the part where yoona sings: isangi down down down~, the music stopped. Boo you haters, these girls were singing live! After the technical failure, the girls tried to make it unawkward; taeyeon and her adorableness screamed: SURPRISE!!
Hahahahaha! Tiffany stepped up to make it seem like it was a joke that the music stopped working, and the rest of the girls joined in for the fun. They sang a short acapella of yoona's part as entertainment. Adorable girls! <3 Then the song started again from the beginning for the second time. IT FAILED AGAIN!! This time at seohyun's part: odi chodabwa~ . Again, taeyeon went with her 'SURPRISE!!'. HAHAHAHAHA. They were about to leave the stage until they were done with their technical issues, but the music went on again, the girls hurried to their positions and started again.
Venetian: you suck big time today.
Forth song: The boys
Fifth song: GEE!
This gee song is that one song that brought the crowd to its wildest. :P
Taeyeon had slight difficulties with the hearing thingy during hoot, but regardless, her vocals were tops! So did sica! Yuri looked like an ultimate goddess! So did SeoHyun! Uri maknae noemu noemu yeppoyo! <3 Sunny and Tiffany were the crowd go-ers, doing extra things during their parts to make the crowd wild HyoYeon and her dancing skills! (Y) YoonA and SooYoung with their elegance!!
But really, the sound system was really bad where I could only hear chipmunks singing voices as the background voices with only a hint of the girls' proper singing voice. >=( It was difficult to hear them sing, but I could still hear them, and it was GOOD!
I am satisfied. Eventhough it may not be the best experience I can get, but it was definitely something. :)
Wheeeeeeeee~
Chiguemmuen so nyuh shi dae
