2nd October 2016
it was a long time since i was a fan girl, like maybe when i was still in primary school? neither was i into KPOP because i find that there are too many groups around and it was hard to catch up with their debuts. and they are more or less the same, wearing identical outfits and their dancing was synchronised. it was only till about a year ago that i started to be into Big Bang.
so everyone's saying Kwon Ji Yong, better known as G-Dragon was very popular, and i was wondering why. And that piqued my interest, so I went to watch their variety shows that featured him and also their audition videos at YG.
really love him on infinity challenge and i watched all the episodes that featured him in it, yes, which means all the music festival that he was in. subsequently became attracted to his personality (the different sides of him when he is having fun, being serious when making music, trying to be entertaining on camera) and charisma, and also envious that he's enjoying what he is doing. i would give anything to live his life once honestly, would like to experience partying on stage and have everyone else in the audience partying together. and that made me reflect on my life and i felt that i've wasted 20 over years of my life paper chasing. that was how my quarter-life crisis began.
well, i guess it's what works for each country. since KPOP is what keeps Korea going, academics is what keeps Singapore going. that explains why we are constantly paper chasing and even explains why the majors offered in our universities differ (think drama, drawing, singing and dance in Korea, and business, accounts and science in Singapore). i remember when i was younger, every time when there was a casting for child actors on TV, my mum would actually asked me if i wanted to go, but i was too shy. damn, i regret now, should have gave it a try. what's there to lose for a kid that young anyway.
so i really admire him for having the courage to chase his dreams and to be so sure of what he wants to do from such a young age. (i don't even know what i want to do when i was choosing my major when i was 18. do i even know what i want to do now?) and i also admire that he survived the uncertainty of being able to debut as a teenager, considering that he had trained for 6 years! i mean, i guess all KPOP stars went through the same uncertainty. perhaps we do not have much to consider about when we were younger, like commitments, money, etc. hence we can be more YOLO?
for me, G-Dragon is a reminder that i determine what i want in my life, and that i should also have the courage to chase my dreams.
so i was, of course, extremely happy to have the chance to see him in real life! considering that i don't have many friends who are into KPOP, and into Big Bang specifically, i'm really fortunate to have found my secondary school band mates who are as crazy for company!
fans of TOP, GD and Daesung respectively (from left to right)
but i went earlier to queue for the merchandise because i really wanted the lightstick! and i thought there would be a tentage or something so i left my umbrella at home because i didn't want to carry so many things at a concert. and oh man, there was no shelter and the sun was so strong that i became tanned again.
kudos to those who wore sweaters/jackets/parkas for the swag look! i was melting in the scorching sun.
finally got my hands on the lightstick and i feel like an official Big Bang V.I.P!!!
this was the crowd i had to deal with at about 1pm for the merchandise queue. the fan meeting starts at 5pm by the way.
all ready for Big Bang MADE VIP Tour in Singapore!! woohoo!!
it was a really great experience i must say. was basking in the atmosphere and the sea of yellow since it's not everyday that i get to be with people who are into Big Bang, always had to tone down my excitement whenever i talk about Big Bang or else my friends and colleagues would roll their eyes at me, but not anymore tonight! and it's definitely not everyday that i get to see G-Dragon in real life (though i really wish i can haha!).
damn high. B-I-G, YEAH WE BANG LIKE THIS!
but he looks kind of bored in Singapore, and i'm wondering if it's because the market here's too small or are Singaporean fans not as good in showing our enthusiasm or he just doesn't like it here.
and AWWWW! this fan is SO lucky! wish it was me instead! he hugged her too long, TOO long, my heart broke :( "you're my heart heart heart heart heartbreaker!"
GD x Taeyang Good Boy :)
i see him but he don't see me :'( left my soul with him and i don't think i'm getting it back anytime soon.
omg, the quality of the uploaded video is so bad, i'm sorry. and blogger limits the file size of the video that i can upload, which means i can't upload almost everything else. BOO! :(
our BIG smiles after.
found out that he didn't leave Singapore once the fan meet was over and i thought, maybe he doesn't dislike it here. and then found out via instagram that he was hanging out with the models here and i became sad hahaha! like wa lao, why life so unfair, i also want to know him personally. why only rich and famous people get to know another rich and famous person. why is this the way society works. like isn't he sick of facing models in his industry already. what about ordinary people like us?! we should have more "xin xian gan" right! HAHAHA! i know i'm dreaming, and i'll just continue dreaming lor :/ haha not like he'd read this anyway.
see you all at the next BIG BANG concert VIPS! <3
