Why I admire Kim Junsu of JYJ

How it started ^_^
Yes, I was bored. Literally. Watch KBS and saw Song Joong Ki in Music Bank and I was like 'Oh, this guy is so cuteeee' :p
So it happens I accidentally watch 1 episode of Sungkyunkwan Scandal (SKKS) and I was like, oh Joong Ki is in this drama..wonder how he act..And I remember that instead of just 1 episode, I sit and watch probably all the episode reruns of the week. And I was hook!!! Lol..and so I opens youtube & I google about the show and the rest is history..

Not just the story, I falls in love with the OST. So I just feel interested to know about them & I remember my sister who saw me watching SKKS in my PC said 'Eh, that is Park Yuchun from DBSK' and I'm like, "WHO???' haha..And she was like'You don't know about them? You know Mirotic?? Lol..I'm still confused until I google it in youtube and was like..'ohhh, this group....Wait, that is that Park Yuchun?The one in SKKS? haha..that is how Im so noob in all this about Kpop at that time. 
So I google & Youtube become my friend because, I just so interested with Park Yuchun at that time, but somehow, my mind is stuck with this song and the voice..


It was just diffrent from the voices of singers that I heard before..so I was intrigued and pursued my youtube searching ..and I found this...my eyes glued to Junsu & his voice in this song..
and google with youtube let me found this...

and THIS!!! lol..I'm so hooked & mesmerized with his voice ^_^


And I happen to found this!! You will surely found this if you google Junsu's name





Lol, I remember I was like, is it the same person? The person who sings all the song, who have that amazing voice & this awkward funny guy??lol..yeah..I was like, this Kim Junsu have weird diffrent kind of funny & sensitive vibe that I can connect with ^_^.

But it so happen that I saw & read about the lawsuit. I remember while watching SKKS and all Junsu's old video, my sister told me'Why you like them after they break up? They are finished..' And I was really suprised....

Suprised as I didnt know anything about kpop and all..For me,the korean entertainment for me is just abou t  the drama, listen to some ost & that's all.

But then as I read more and more about the lawsuit from blogs & forum, ---> you can read the simplified version here (JYJ Lawsuit ), my admiration to Kim Junsu, Park Yuchun & Kim Jaejoong grows day by day. How could a singer was not allowed to sing just because they filed a lawsuit? How could someone use their power and money to justified their actions just because they want it to?
That is how my feeling at that time and until now, since Junsu & JYJ was not allowed to sings in the national TV, I was mad and angry.
Angry as to think that Junsu was not allowed to show his talent & his voice just because someone who have more power & money is allowed to use it.

And now in year 2014, after almost 4 years, it seems that there is still no light in the tunnel. Hopefully their comeback in July 2014 will brings something for fans to cheer on. Yes, they are still strong, I believe among all the three, Junsu are the one who seems far from the public tv as he was more in musical, but I truly believe true art will always be the winner, The one who never gives up will always find the way to be strong. And that is why I know I will always be the fan of Kim Junsu & Yuchun & Jaejoong, as they are my inspiration to live my life in my own way. To forever pursue my own dream & live happily.

Just before I end my writing here, I just want to show a couple more vids of the awesome Kim Junsu :)..haha..coz there are a lot of video in Youtube, so here it is among my favourite, the one he sang in Mozart, which I think the lyrics really meant a lot in his life. Also my fav dance number, Fever and my favourite OST from Scent of Women ^_^, You are So Beautiful ..(I replay this song hundred times when it 1st come out~ dreamily imagine Junsu sings it to me Lol)





So yeah there it is, my short & quite simple write up about Kim Junsu ^_^, I really hope I can write more, but the time is killing me haha... but since the introduction is here, I can't wait to write more stuffs, more insightful news about Junsu & JYJ ^_^, fingers crossed you will see it more in my future post..

On the matter of loneliness

I don't think I have many friends. Not trying to be negative, but I don't think I make friends with a lot of people when I'm in school haha..I guess I spend hating myself at that time that I forgot that there are real people around me.

When people said they have reunions, dinner & such I do get that little feeling. What if I was diffrent at that time. Again I wonder if I have diffrent kind of life around me. ^_^

But regardless of this, I hope somewhere, someone remembers about me.
That the most important thing I hope someone pray for me when I'm gone.
I hope a lot of people come to see me on that final day.
I would be happy.

If someone said that I changed their lives to be better I guess I can die happily.

That is my ultimate dream. I don't think I have a lot of times left in this world, so I just want to live happily and I hope I made others happy too ^_^. For the loneliness is in the heart & in the mind. I pray someone remember me. I pray that I do make difference in this world :)

The book that change me ^_^

Ok...im quite stressed after looking at the views of my previous post ^_^..but of coz it was a Girl good stressed practice for me..
Glad I send the email to that person in 5 minutes & really send it without thinking..
Heart knows better' ^_^..

So today I will start again. To think of how I will restart again this blog ^_^..what should I write? What should I do huhu..

Tajuk hari ini: Who's that Girl?

Aha!! The book that I read just before I turn 30..
Not the best chick lit that I ever read..but the story inspired me to think.
It was about the girl who is 30 years old & were able to go back to change her lives when she was 18 years old.
Yes from 30 --->>18 ..do you have anything that you want to change if you can go back to your younger self??

I have!!! A lot!! Lol..not even when I'm 18 years old. I wish I can go back maybe when I'm 7 years old. 
If I can go back, and meet myself ..I want to shake my shoulders really hard and knock my head so many times. And maybe then I hug myself. What I want to tell myself is 'It is ok to be diffrent. Don't be afraid. You are amazing. Love and be loved. Laugh more.Be crazy. You are amazing!!

Yes, I wish! I wish I was told with all the positive energy when I was a child. Maybe life will be diffrent. But then if it is , there will be no 'me' right now. Because right now I am amazing in my own way. All the things I learn and mistakes I made, this was an amazing 31 years I'm being alive. 

Xoxo,

Why I took the pictures

Copy paste from an email I sent to someone on 17/12/2013....

Hi..

Thanks for the early reply.I don't really have anything in mind, just this is kinda a dream sort of thing. I'm going to be 30 years old this December. 
I have a weird background of life. I was born with blind in one eye and that have make me living in a cage sort of.

I always think I'm not beautiful and pretty enough in front of camera. Since young being in front of camera scares me. I was scared people to look at the pictures and say I make their pictures look weird.
Or just looking at it and asking me a lot about my conditions.
But growing up, opening up to a lot of people and travelling have changed me. I realise that what outside didn't make the person. What is inside that matter.

So this, taking a potrait picture is one of my wishlist before I turn 30 years old.
I want to compensate the time I run away from being in front of camera & for once be brave enough to accept my disability.
For once I want a beautiful picture where I bravely look at the lenses and said Im ready, and smile..

Yeah, this is my story.Sorry for the long paragraphs and all :). This is my first time doing this & it all starts with a dream & a wish.Please let me know if you have any idea.
Thank you!!!!!..oh, by the way, if December your time is already full, I'm ok in January too.


Rgds,
Munirah Khadri


and guys...that is the reason why I took all this picture ^_^
Btw, it was not the same person who took this picture & the one I send my email above :)

Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam -the 2nd time


So here again, exactly in 1 year, I come here again to Ho Chi Minh.

The usual question is, why 2nd time? best sangat ke pegi tempat tu?

Actually I don't really have an exact answer.. I love to go anywhere, everywhere.

Be it Seoul, Vietnam, Singapore or anywhere, or even Taiping, it is not the place that matter, I guess even by going with diffrent person, you will have diffrent experience. You will probably face diffrent incidents in your travel that shape your life & understanding about the people that you travel with.

For me, as travel enthusiast, travel planner...I love to travel & I love to plan lol..that is the conclusion ^^..I don't mind to go anywhere in this amazing world.

So yeah, when a friend and uncle of mine told me that they wanted to go to Vietnam, I was excited.
Excited as this will be officially my first job as the travel planner ^^.
So here it goes after much planning, we are in a group of 6 embark on our journey to Ho Chi Minh.

Missing in action is a friend who took earlier flight ^_^
After 1 hour 45 min flight, we arrived in Ho Chi Minh & went straight to our hotel, Lien Thanh Hotel. The hotel is around 10-15 mins walk from Ben Thanh market. I love it. My mum don't like it.
She said it's far. But I said its good that it is far, so your compulsive order to buy more baju kurung is limited haha.. ;)
Our room for 2 person. It was really huge!!
We book our ground package with Vietnam Asiatour. One of the easiest people that reply to my questions and my email ^_^. And yes, both of my trip, I've been using their service.

One of the best thing about having a planned ground trip is the food. Because you don't have to think about what is for your lunch, breakfast & dinner.

So here it is some of our glorious foods galore ^_^


Tomyam yg sangat best!!! ^_^..ohhh telur dadar adalh menu wajib haha
 Our Itinerary:
1st day - Arrived & shopping around Ho Chi Minh city.
2nd day - Chu Chi Tunnel & Optional Night Cruise at Saigon river.
3rd day- Mekong river
4th day- Last minute shopping!!!

Yeah, basically our time is involves with shopping & lychee yang manis^^

 My uncle trying to bargain for the lychee..but beware, the price around the city is more expensive. Like this lady suddenly took my uncle money and increase than the original price huhu..bad salesperson :(
If you"re going out of Ho Chi Minh , it's cheaper to buy anywhere along their road ^_^


@Chu Chi Tunnel

My 1st time coming here as the previous trip it was raining. Thankfully the weather is kind to us on that day..It was so sunny & hot, we are melting like a soldier :).
If I'm not mistaken, we were there for 2 hours. In a note, at first, I was actually not sure what I will see in this place. My initial feeling was more like it is just a forest and some war place.
But after walking & seeing some of the remnants of this Vietnam War, I understand why they keep this as history & important place for their country. For me it reminds me of their bravery to fight with more powerful nation, and to use all they got to defend it at any cost. Such an amazing fighting spirit. Although I honestly feel the sadness that it also cost a thousand innocent human lives, both in all sides of the war.

One, of the trap during the war.
At first, all of us, we were like "What to see??'
Down here!! huhu..crazy..
Ada kayu2 tajam yang sedang menunggu mangsanya huhu

that is not a real soldier ^^
Makan ubi kayu katanya....Bak kata paklang saya, jauh2 mkn ubi kayu dkt vietnam ni pulak ye ^_^

success!!!
Masuk yang paling pendek jer..haha..nmpk senyum tapi bila kat dalam tuh duk jerit2 ^_^

@Mekong River
My 2nd time here. Clearly the place is a bit touristy...penuh orang vietnam menjual di sini..but I would still recommend to anyone who never have the experience to some here. Especially the 'sampan' part. Menginsafkan to feel how their standard of living and compare it back at home.



fresh from the bees itself ^_^

our lunch
foods galore part 4.0 haha

pakcik saya menunjukkan skill yang hebat :)
traffic jam!! huhu
Oh dari tanah besar ke delta mekong ni kena naik bot. Memang wajib rasanya ada air kelapa bila balik ^_^
The usual pose ^^

Bonus : Shopping & RM40.00 for the city cruise 






dah kenyang dinner, makan laici dan biskut saja atas kapal ^_^

Total expenses just for the trip-Flight ticket RM420.00 & Ground package -RM800.00

Conclusion: Was this trip diffrent from my previous one? Yes.. so many things I learned from this trip.example would be:

1) Do not assume that just you are close to the person they will understand your thinking. It is important to channel your info to everyone. 
2) Make sure everyone knows the plan.
3) Plan the weight of bag accordingly haha..this one is so funny as this was my 1st time. Pertama kali memunggah barang2 di airport waktu nak check in. Bukan sebab terlebih berat tapi tersalah put the weight in 3 diffrent booking no.. so yeah..jadi la magician depan org airport tuh. But we are safe. The weirdest moment was suddenly the guy said you looks diffrent in real life than in your passport picture. Lol..igt kena tahan ke apa, rupa2 nya 'You look beautiful in real life than in this picture' Lol..nasib la abang you said I'm pretty, hilang semua penat memunggah beg tadi :p ;p

Remembering about this trip still makes me smile.
Do I want to go again?
Definetely yes ^__^

  So we could have your 1st trip, 2nd trip and so on together!!!! ^_^
