Backdated: 30 Mar 07 (4th day): Watching Music Show Tank LIVE!

damn it.... a stupid lousy adapter I haf.... the power simply went off so my lap top shut down forcefully!!! ah... i as typin half way on blog n nw i have to rewrite my entry again......... arrgghh.... STUPID Adapter!!

Back to history: 29 March 07, fine weather... coolin...

its has been 4th day in Korea... we had explored ard our neighbour.... n since its Fri I had suggested to go do sm 'window shoppin' at Dongdaemun (동대문), my favourite shoppin place when i was in Seoul many yrs back.... at DDM, there are 3 main shopping buildings: Doota, Milgoire n APM. Each of them stands at least 8-9 stories high n each storey sells different items ... there r lots of variety of clothes, accessories etc. at DDM, u get to c the fashion trend in Korea too... over DDM, u get to c alot alot of youngsters too... or u may also pop by any of the roadside stall for a snack or so...

so off we went at ard 5plus... we reached DDM stadium subway station at ard 7plus... walked over to Doota. so off we went into Doota to check out the latest fashion trend.... ah... there r lots n lots of clothes... i was so tempted to buy... bt oh no i m a poor student now so i cant buy anything frm there now..... *SAD* if i had suddenly decided to go back sg n wif tat savings i had, i will surely 血拼一番!! haha.... too bad i cant so all i could do was really 'window shoppin'........

e gd ting abt DDM that i liked the most is that it operates frm the nite till dawn..... this is so considerate for the workin population... can u imagine in sg after a day at work, u decide to go shoppin to destress n wat?! by the time u really start to do ur shoppin after a dinner u realise its abt time tat shops r closing n go rushin ard like mad woman.... tis is bad.... however in DDM u do not have tat prb...u can take ur own sweet time. u can even shop till 3-4 am, it is common here...can u imagine its still very crowded at 1am in the mornin!!

so we went up n up n up... view through all the fashion items...n down down down we came. its fast browsin thru cos we aint haf the money to spend, we r poor student *rmbr* hahaa.... so off we went out frm the main entrance of Doota... to our surprize there's a huge crowd just at the main entrance... so WE as singaporeans (KAyPO) went over to haf a look... so wat we saw?! a big stage wif the wordings reading "SHOW TANK"!! so me n tiff looked at each other "music show tank"?! cant we b more heng then be there to watch show tank?!

so who r the celebrities performin tonite?! (this is the most impt question in my mind). therefore based on experienced, we looked ard for the signboards tat fans r holdin to figure out who the celebrities r... saw the names bt cant figure out who these celebrities r so we decided to gif it a miss n go for our dinner... we went past the crowd to the back....

who knws we r walkin to the backstage.... ?!! so we saw a grp of yandaos posing infront of the camera for their pics (obviously sm celebrities).... they have got sharp features... bt me wif my poor eyesight couldnt figure out who they were... so we continue to walk until we heard a bunch of gals screamin... so we stopped to see wat happened... bhind us came 5 gals ... fans screamin their names n they bowin to them... young gals probably in their 18?! oh man... i dunno who they r .... m i too old or m i out of the kpop industry for too long?! haha......... nw here we r rite at the backstage!! cool tis is a gd location!! so we decided to hang on to c who r the other celebrities *hopefully to c smone i knw of... * oh yesh... finally we saw this bunch of gals holdin a banner that read "SUPER JUNIOR" oh yah.... SHIWON!!! KiBUM!! so me n tiff were discussin shld we stay to watch or go for dinner??

so... the decision is to stay n watch.... i guess sm of u might b thinkin sure stay one mah... haha ... bt i told tiff "let's watch SUJU's performance n after tat we can go off..." so we agreed on tat n move to the frnt to watch the performance...

it started kind of late at ard 7.45pm... there r 2 hosts.... a guy n a gal... to watch the performance beta i took out my spects... so i sort of like ''ópen" my eyes n saw Battle's 신기현 (shin ki hyun)

as one of the host... so 1st short performance was by Battle whom were the guys (yandaos) we spotted backstage .... ha at least i knw someone... so its more interestin to us nw... a motivation to watch the performance...

so one by one the artists went on to perform.... we saw Battle, Wonder Girls, Ivy, SAT, sm other guy, a rock band etc its great watchin Music show tank live cos we get to c the backend productions n setting for the stage!! its so cool n interesting! the crew r extremely fast in settin up the settings n props... there r sm singers wif big props.... at time they moved up a grand piano, a bed ...!!?!

yah the bed was so Evan (aka Hosuk) which i cant even recognise him!! so sorry (sayin tis for the hundredth times to hui.... i didnt knw he is hosuk hence i didnt take any pics of him.... i was watchin e tv screen for the backend production n was tinkin in my heart wow tis guy looked jus like hosuk... (as u knw korean artists looked similar wif the same hairstyles) bt i could confirm its nt him cos i didnt hear the host sayin "HO-SUK" ............ haiz.... *shake head* who the hell knw suddenly he cameback wif a stage name call EVAN?! ahhhh..... haha k tat's one of the regret of tat nite....

so after evan's (hosuk) performance, its kind of late... so we deduced its gonna b the last performance which is the long waited SUPER junior.... so we tot we could then c SHiwon n Kibum.... n true enuff 기현 announced the welcomin of SuJu so... everyone is so hype up... n on the stage were SUJU dancin... so i searched ard for Shiwon n Kibum... bt too bad... lata than i realised its SUper junior-T n nt SUper Junior?!! so no Shiwon n kibum only kangin, eu hyuk n heechul.... 没鱼有虾也好 (bo hen he ma hou -in hokkien) so we continued to finish the whole performance....

this is so cool we get to c so many celebrities, backend productions, feel the atmosphere of a live show!! tis make me even wanted so badly to work at the backend production! haiz.... my dream... a dream i hope i can realise ...

here enjoy some pics i took frm the live show:
