GMarket Haul

Wow. It’s been a really long time since I bought anything from GMarket.

This time round I decided to make a purchase as I wanted to order the 2AM’s 2013 Calendar along with other items.

Yeah I’m much of a Kpop fan, so I usually buy my albums or other Kpop purchases from Gmarket.

I made the order along with the calendars, a 2013 Diary planner and a HOMME single on 19 Nov.

The rest of the items arrived at Gmarket quickly except for 2AM’s Calendar which was only released in Korea on 14 Dec.

So basically I waited for nearly a month for my delivery!

Nevertheless! I received my order on the 16 Dec! Fast Delivery from GMarket!

Thanks you so much.

Alright! Time to unravel the box!

Look who sent me the box!! Hehe ^^

So as usual, the items that i ordered were nicely wrapped with bubble wrap like this and placed into a big  box 😀

Here’s item no 1 : Homme’s Man Should Laugh single. It was released in Korea in 2011. I didn’t bought the single back then so I have been thinking of purchasing the item since I wanted to collect all the singles and album that 2AM have released  (including all members). It’s really hard to find the copy now as there were only 5000 copies released for the single. Great that I found one through Gmarket Synnara shop.

Here’s item no 2 : Ceci December 2012 Issue!

It’s really a great purchase for me! Ga-in graces the cover for Ceci December 2012 issue. I’m really a big fan of her! Isn’t she pretty? ^^ She’s so sexy, and do note that I’m a female. Haha..  In addition, there’s a pictorial of Wooyoung and Jo Kwon, JJ Project and Wonder Girls’ Hyelim~ Ah great. I love JYP Nation so much! 😀

The 3rd item that I got was a 2013 Diary Planner in mint green. It’s going to be 2013 soon, so it’s time to buy a diary planner! I always know that Gmarket always have very adorable stationaries. and I really love to own one. So I choose this over many colours and design.

Yeah I also bought the cute stickers. The text are in Korean but it’s ok for me since I understand the language.

So here’s the inside of the diary planner. Neat and colourful! Shall use it wisely throughout 2013! 😀

Alright at last! I want to talk about 2AM 2013 Calender!

Ah I really love this year’s packaging! There’s also a DVD of the BTS included..  There were many closeups and I love especially the part whereby Jinwoon was playing the guitar ^^ One of my complaints for this calendar is that there’s no Jinkwon (Jinwoon + Jo Kwon) because they are my favourite pairing in 2AM (besides the babo duo Seulong and Jinwoon haha)

I shall let the pictures do the talking~ Please enjoy some of the pictures taken! 

Ending off with some of my favourite photos of Kwon! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I feel great to be able to see 2AM on the calendar for another 365 days 😀

Overall, this has been a great purchase. I’m really tempted to make another order in December with all the shipping discount for fashion and etc going on in G Market!  Yep, aside from Kpop, there’s just so many things I can buy in Gmarket. Food! Apparels! Stationeries1  I love shopping in Gmarket!

2AM – For you ~Kimi no Tame ni Dekiru Koto~

English Translation : 

  I can’t put it into words

Because you may leave me

 

Those tears were overflowing

Because of the pain in my chest, I could not say anything

Why only just now that I realized that I love you?

 

Only if I were him

I wouldn’t have let you shed those tears

My true feelings can’t  be expressed anyways

Because I don’t want to lie to you

 

To give back the smile on your face one day 

I will sacrifice my all for that

I can’t put it into words 

It’s also the thing I can do for you

 

The question “What should I do now?”

Just because of those unsuspecting words, we’re falling apart

If only  you could throw the memories away, you would easily move on 

 

If that’s the thing you want

I will accept it all

Even if I were laughed as a fool

I still want to continue  protecting you 

 

My place inside your heart 

Now it’s like a mirror of sadness which captures me inside

 

I can’t put into words

Because I understand that pain

If one day I can give back the smile on your face

I will proudly tell you this feeling

 

When I can put it into words

I hope you will receive it with a smile 

 I can’t put it into words

It’s also the thing I can do for you. 

Romanization :

Kotoba ni… dekinai
Kimi ga kiete shimaisou dakara

Afuredasu sono namida ni
Mune ga kurushikute nanimo ienai
Naze imasara kyuu ni
Suki ni natte shimatta ndarou?

Moshimo boku ga kare naraba
Keshite nakasetari shinai kedo
Hontou no kimochi ga ienai kuse ni
Uso mo tsukitakunai kara

Itsuka kimi no egao wo torimodosu tame
Boku no kono subete wo sasageyou
Kotoba ni… dekinai
Sore ga kimi no tame ni dekiru koto

Dousureba ii no? nante
Muboubi na hitokoto de, mata tooku naru
Omoide wo sutereba
Sugu arukidaseru no ni

Moshimo kimi ga nozomu nara
Sono subete wo uketomeru kara
Kireigoto da to warawarete mo ii
Soba de mamoritsuzuketai

Kimi no naka de boku ga irareru basho wa
Ima wa kanashimi no kagami no naka
Kotoba ni… dekinai
Boku mo sono itami ga wakaru kara

Itsuka kimi ga egao wo torimodoshitara
Chanto, mune wo hatte tsutaeru yo

Kotoba ni shita toki
Kimi ga hohoende kureru you ni
Kotoba ni… dekinai
Sore ga kimi no tame ni dekiru koto

Japanese :

言叶に…できない
君が消えてしまいそうだから

あふれだすその泪に
胸が苦しくてなにも言えない
なぜいまさら急に
好きになってしまったんだろう?

もしもぼくが彼ならば
决して泣かせたりしないけど
本当の气持ちが言えないくせに
嘘もつきたくないから

いつか君の笑颜を取り戻すため
ぼくのこのすべてを捧げよう
言叶に…できない
それが君のためにできること

どうすればいいの?なんて
无防备なひとことで、また远くなる
想い出を舍てれば
すぐ步き出せるのに

もしも君が望むなら
そのすべてを受け止めるから
きれいごとだと笑われてもいい
そばで守り续けたい

君の中でぼくがいられる场所は
いまは悲しみの镜の中
言叶に…できない
ぼくもその痛みがわかるから

いつか君が笑颜を取り戻したら
ちゃんと、胸を张って伝えるよ

言叶にした时
君が微笑んでくれるように
言叶に…できない
それが君のためにできること

What was my disappointment about.

“OMG YOU ARE SO LUCKY YOU GET TO TALK TO KWON, I WISH I CAN TALK TO HIM.”

Most of the tweets from IAMs are happy for me, but deep inside me… I’m depressed not because Kwon didn’t answered to my questions but….

My biggest regret as an IAM has always been being unable to watch a 2AM solo concert. I got the answer directly from him that there won’t be a concert here, which means I’ve to fly to other parts of Asia if I want to watch their concert. I know he’s apologetic about it as this is not something within his control and perhaps it’s Big Hit’s planning or there isn’t a strong demand in Singapore (because ballads ain’t the mainstream here and everywhere in the world) or that the locations here are too expensive. Money and time is a problem for me because I’m not even working part time and I would have started school during that period. I don’t mind travelling for just 2 days 1 night flying back and forth and heading back to school the next day.

The problem was I already headed to Seoul in April after pleading my mum that I really wanted to but she only agreed to let me go because I’ve completed my diploma. And after looking at the stuff I bought (because she thinks that I spent like a spendthrift there), she said she won’t allow me to go to S.K. And since I couldn’t go to S.K unless I start to work and earn my own money, the only way is to wait for a concert in Singapore but it will not happen in the near future. I don’t know what sort of reaction will she give me if I tell her I want to go to Hong Kong or Taiwan just for the concert. Saying that I want go to the concert is easy, but all these reasons is making me stressful.

So far the confirmed countries are Hong Kong and Taiwan from reliable sources. I’m sure there’ll be more countries in the list but not yet revealed. Now, the only thing I can hope is there’s Malaysia, Thailand or Indonesia in the list so that I could at least… head there to watch the concert at a lesser cost.

Disclaimer : This is just my personal opinion.

[Fanaccount] 120719 Video Conference with Kwon

I will just talk about what happened during the video conference for Singaporeans fans.

The video conference began once everyone was ready.

We were all screaming when we saw him who was wearing a red/white stripes top.  He appeared on screen while wearing “I’m Da One” glasses and the mask.

The media had 20 mins and the fans had 10 mins.

There was a couple of questions asked by the media like “Who he will like to work with”.

I remembered his answer was Lee Hyori and Uhm Jung Hwa for Korean celebrities and Lady GaGa for international celebrity.

And of course there’s the question about his high heels.. “Painful or not and etc” But  I wasn’t listening attentively and busy snapping photos and admiring his face.  He said that the 20 cm high heels is call “Nightwalker” and was brought back by Bang Shihyuk PD-nim from New York.

And there’s a random question asking him which animal he resembles and when does he thinks he’s an animal (wild)..

He said his neck is long so people said he look like a deer and I remember chipmunk was mentioned ^^

Another question asked was to describe the suitable music style of each 2AM member?

For him, he say it’s upbeat songs.

Jinwoon – Rock (of course)

Changmin – Trot (I was laughing when I heard this)

Seulong – Ballad..

And so while he was being interviewed by the media, I guess he got bored. He started making aegyo expressions on the screen and I was squealing.

WHY IS HE SO ADORABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TOO BAD I DIDN’ TOOK VIDEO. My friend will upload soon don’t worry.

Anyway I stop filming when it’s fans’ time.

I asked the first question. “Since you told a HK fan that 2AM will be going there soon, will 2AM be coming to Singapore too”..

Then he tell me “No..”  Sigh. I was disappointed, likewise i think the rest too though I didn’t talk to them. I think Singapore wasn’t in their planning ><

After that my friend said “Saranghaeyo” then he replied “Nadu” and all of us started screaming~

Most daebak part is when YL asked him when he’s going to MARRY Ga-in ^^

I looked at his facial expression. He was stumbled  and gave a “What is this question” expression.

Again I was laughing when the translator was translating to Kwon.

But he still replied “말도 안돼” (Impossible) when i obviously saw him laughing.

I don’t believe in everything after all the FAs in Beijing xD

After that I realized that no one was asking him questions.

So I asked him what he will be doing after his fansigns end this week

(But actually I already knew the answer that 2AM will be busy with their Japanese single, JYPN Concerts and Asia Tour) like what he replied to my question.

And then Nur asked him to sing  “Just A Kiss”.. At first he was a bit unwilling but then he opened the “Animal” album and started singing the chorus for “Just A Kiss”… Lol why do you have to look at the lyrics xD  Anyway.. I feel very fortunate to be able to hear “Just A Kiss” live exclusively. When he sang finish, I shouted “OPPA JJANG!”.

And so.. I asked him again if he’s coming to Singapore..But he said no and said other things but I forgot but  with a super cute aegyo crying!!! WHY ARE YOU SO CUTE!! I CAN’T RESIST!!!

To conclude, one of us said that we’ll always support him and love him and hope he’ll come here T_T

The end.

Overall it was a unforgettable experience though I was disappointed that 2AM didn’t plan to come to Singapore. Does that mean I’ve to fly to Hong Kong or Taiwan? T_T

————————————————————–

After everything ended, I was called by the xinmsn person to film a video for them, along with YL and Valerie.

Then we talked about our thoughts winning this contest etc.

You will see us on xinmsn  website soon I guess  T_T

In conclusion, I wonder why the fans behind me didn’t want to ask questions. Perhaps it’s because the media asked all the questions and they didn’t knew what to ask. But if you’re really a big fan, I don’t think you have nothing to say to your oppas. At least saying a “I love you”,  “I always support you” is better than nothing. This is a rare chance. There’s many IAMs wanting to come to this event but they couldn’t make it because of school or work. Sigh. I’m glad that I called Nasha along with me today. I’m sure she enjoyed it ^^

Thank you for reading ^^
