Naughty me, haven't posted anything in more than a month - AGAIN. I was bombarded with assignments I'm not even kidding. I'm all done with my assignments for this semester, just have to study for the 3 exams coming up! Now, notice the time I'm writing this post? Yeah. I AM most productive after midnight. Don't ask me why or how, it just happens. Anyways, how are you guys? (I don't even know who I'm talking to) I'm doing...rather well. Still single, still loving Sungmin with all my heart (God bless me but I actually BOUGHT a Sungmin pillowcase. No, I'm not even kidding.), still pissed off that the Super Junior concert in Sydney was cancelled (more to this later on), still happy and loving my fangirl life at the moment.Now, did I just say the Super Junior concert in Sydney? Yes, I did. It was supposed to be on 5th May 2012, which...could probably be THE BEST NIGHT for me and Inez. Sadly, it got cancelled and so we just had to go to Sydney just because we couldn't ask for a flight refund. We had quite a good time in Sydney because we attended this Super Junior fan gathering and it was pretty fun :) I bought a Super Junior calendar at this Asian music store. It was AMAZING. It's like buying 12 posters for the price of $15 because SERIOUSLY, it's not a freaking calendar, it's a bundled collection of Super Junior posters. You can't even tell what day it is on which date. I have nothing to complain about it. The poster list from January to June KILLED ME. I probably died for a second when I reached June. Starting from January, it was Kyuhyun, then Siwon, then Leeteuk, then Donghae on April. As I was about to turn the page I told Inez "I swear to God if Sungmin's on the next page I'll probably die,"...and I did. Because IT WAS INDEED SUNGMIN. And he was on a BED. I couldn't stop hyperventilating. The combination of Sungmin and a bed just does not do me any good.
When I could - finally - come back to life, I turned the page without any caution and there it was...my ultimate death. June is now my favourite month, hands down. Why? Because Kyuhyun, Siwon, Leeteuk, Donghae, and Sungmin - also known as my boyfriends or biases from Super junior - are THERE, collaged in one huge picture, with every each one of them giving their ultimate bedroom eyes. I...just can't. I just took a glance at my calendar and my heart still stopped for a second. I'm sorry I just...can't. This person who decided to put them together in June...God bless you.
...And I also bought this giant SNSD wall calendar for Carol. Our room is very k-pop at the moment. Who would've known? And we don't even care.
Now moving away from the K-pop topic, I can't stress how much I NEED a job. I want to buy things. I want to save for my future. I want to work and get money. Why is it so hard to find a job? :( Anyways, I've been applying to various places, like McD, KFC, Red Rooster, Kmart, Target, Coles...I don't even know anymore. :( Let's just hope I'll get a job soon, at least before I turn 21.
I wanted to write about something more personal, but I think I'm too sleepy to do so and I'm afraid I might write it in the wrong way. Let me sleep on it and write about it tomorrow, just for the sake of wording my story correctly. Good night!!

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!
