It's been more than a month since I last posted anything on this blog! My bad, I've been bombarded with assignments and truth be told, I should be working on one at the moment. Hey, it's a Sunday, who would want to work on their assignment on this day? Anyways, thanks to my long absence from this blog, I have lots of things to say. And I mean, LOTS of things from different extremes. I'll start from my usual heavy metal, rocker stuff.As you guys probably know, I went to (FINALLY) see Evanescence live in concert last 26th March at the Brisbane Convention Centre. One of the best nights in my life. I couldn't even believe it until now. I could probably stare at my ticket and still wondering if it really happened.
Okay I'm just too lazy to rotate this photo. Whatever, lol. |
Anyways, I'm probably biased because I was there, but I think that was Evanescence's best live performance, ever. Even way better than the one in Paris (Anywhere but Home DVD). Not one missing or false notes. It was insane. My all-time hero, Amy-Lee, singing there live just 5 steps away from me (yeah, I stood pretty close to the stage). I sang along with her pretty much the whole time, I know every single damn Evanescence's songs by heart, lol. Anyways, I didn't really want to waste my time to take pictures since I'm short and you know Australians and how tall they are compared to me. I just enjoyed the whole show and remember it in my heart. :)
Now I'm pretty sure how all of you are aware how much I've always loved heavy metal and all that (Soundwave and Evanescence concerts in just two months lol), but I once mentioned in this blog as well how I got hooked to SNSD a.k.a Girls' Generation and how I once sort of "promised" Inez (who might as well be a Korean rather than an Indonesian, in a good way!) that SNSD would be the only K-pop idol I would be obsessed with.
I was wrong.
Referring back to the title of this post, yes, I do feel that this is my year of karma. In just the first 4 months, I felt that life had shoved me all the karma I deserved. This karma, however, isn't as epic as how I got hooked to SNSD, because, well I hated SNSD with a passion. And I just love them now. Just after I started to get over my SNSD obsession...Super Junior (Suju) came along.
A parade of fine looking lads. Me like. |
I basically got hooked up to Suju in the same way like I got hooked up to SNSD - by watching their variety shows. I just found out that Suju was waaaaaaay better in variety shows - and they're GUYS, which, in my opinion, makes it even better. For people who just started to know me after high school, they are SHOCKED as in, really SHOCKED. Not many people are aware of this, but I was always a fangirl (as a side job) since I was still in middle school. Go ask my middle school friends, they wouldn't be as surprised. I used to fangirl towards Japanese stuff though, so I never thought I could get hooked into Korean pop culture as well. Now...I've had posters of Suju in my room (next to Carol's Sooyoung posters lmao), their CDs, and I actually bought the ticket to SuperShow 4 in Sydney with Inez...which sadly, got cancelled due to stupid issue. No, I'm not going to talk about it because I'll just be furious all over again.
On a lighter note, I just want to share my biases in Suju. At first, I love Leeteuk since he was the first one I could recognise, and then I moved on to Siwon - duh, who wouldn't love him? - because I thought he's a prince charming. Then...I discovered Sungmin. Yes, the full-of-aegyo, pink-lover Sungmin. Who the hell would've thought that I would love him the most?
Yes, I really fell in love with this guy. He's perfection to me. |
UNLEASH THE BEAST, SUNGMIN!!!! |
Being pretty active and up-to-date with SM entertainment at the moment, their new, freshly debuted band called EXO K and EXO M also caught my heart. They were the first K-pop band that caught my heart from their song and not from their personalities. Their title song, "MAMA", was a huge surprise. I'd never thought a K-pop song would include a Gregorian-choir-stuff as a part of their song. I got hooked immediately on the first time I listened to that song. Anyways, this post is pretty damn long enough, I'll post about EXO K and EXO M next time ;) See you, guys!
