Bonsang 2008

Congratulations to Shinhwa for winning the Bonsang 2008. I am so proud of them. Junjin, Minwoo & Hyesung were there to collect the award. Andy had to work.

Too bad Eric and Dongwan couldn't be there but I'm sure Eric would be home watching the awards on TV (maybe feeling sad that he can't receive the award on stage) and Dongwan (I'm sure his lovely platoon mates would be cheering & celebrating for him in their own small ways).

Proud of them for doing so well despite the lack for promotion for this 9th album. It shows their standing in the Kpop arena. Well done, boys. Waiting for you is the Bonsang 2011 or 2012. I'll be cheering you from here then. It's a date!

Miss you, Dongwan!

Heard from my friends that you are doing well in the army. I'm glad for you. I have been thinking about you these 2 days and really miss you. Eat well & be happy. Just a few more days and you'll be out & starting on your civil duties. Will your concert be released on dvd? Love u, Wannie!

Muscle man - Jun Jin

Saw Junjin & Dongwan on tv the other day. Junjin was leg wrestling with Kim Ji Hoon & Kim Jong Kook. I was so proud of Jinnie. He won every round. 2 rounds against Kim Jong Kook and 1 round again Kim Ji Hoon. Kim Jong Kook couldn't believe he lost the first round and decided to try again. Jinne won again. I really couldn't help squealing with joy. Jinnie's so strong and steady. Kim Jong Kook's face was distorted as he tried to squeeze every ounce of energy to beat Jinnie but Jinnie was basically emotionless and he looked as if he didn't use any energy at all. Winning was like taking candy from a baby! Keep it up, Jin ah!

Happy Birthday, Hyesung

Today's Hyesung's birthday. I bought a chocolate cake and sang him a birthday song. I hope his concerts went well and he's happy. Wonder if his Shinhwa bros found time to celebrate with him or gave him a call?

I'm sure they would have - how could they ever forget their precious Hyesung's birthday right?

I wish you happiness and good health. I'm still looking at yesasia everyday to see if your 3rd album 2nd side is ready for preorder...Can't wait but then, do find time to take a rest. See you soon. Love you.

Guy with the brightest smile - Kim Dongwan

Saw Dongwan on Golden Bell yesterday. He looked fresh and cheery. He did mention that his height is the thing that bothers him the most. I think Minwoo also mentioned that on Golden Bell before.

Anyway, it was nice seeing him on tv. He flashed his bright smile and made my day. Take care Dongwan!

Happy Birthday Dongwan!

Happy Birthday Dongwan. To celebrate your birthday, I bought a black forest cake and a Barcadi Breezer (orange - the colour of Shinhwa).

Dongwan, as I eat the cake, I'll think of you ....

Eat well, rest well and take care! Happy Birthday.

See you soon, Kim Dong Wan

Dongwan enlisted yesterday and I remembered to keep him in my prayers. I hope he's doing fine and adjusting.

I was so busy yesterday I could not blog about wannie. His song (promise) is on the mnet charts. M & Jinnie's songs are also on the mnet charts. So happy for them. Shinhwa members are all good singers and entertainers. That's why Dongwan also asked all fans to continue to support all other active Shinhwa members in their solo activities.

Dongwan, take care and see you in about 28 days.

M on Golden Bell challenge

Saw M on Golden Bell the other day. He was so handsome. Everything about him was perfect. His smile, his cuteness... I was mesmerised! He's so lively as compared to when Hyesung was on golden bell. The camera also could not stop focussing on M.... after some other guest said something, they would show M's reaction / smile... I guess that's because he is so charming that everyone's naturally attracted to him.

Shinhwa's 10 anniversary concert dvd

I received the Shinhwa 10th anniversay concert dvd (korean version & the Japan version) yesterday. The korean version has 2 dvds (about the concert) & a photo book. The Japan version has 3 dvds (2 about the concert & a bonus dvd - behind the scenes, etc). Surprisingly, the japan version comes with English subtitles. To me, the Japan version was a better buy than the Korean version. The boys were so sad & they cried....the concert was very interesting & I enjoyed every song they sang. I cried too when I watched them. Their love for each other is so strong. If any 3 of them were gals, the other 3 would marry them!! I believe them when they say they are just taking a short break and will definitely be back. I'll be counting down till then.

M on Vitamin

So happy to see M on Vitamin. I taped the show & watched it at midnight... was very tired but so glad to see him and I'm so proud that he has the cleanest teeth... (SO KISSABLE)

He was so cute when he tried to shake off the 2 stickers that were stuck to his face. His expressions were priceless.

Eric Mun

Time flies. Eric has been gone for 29 days now. He's almost done with the training & should be moving on to his civil duties. Just another 24 months. I'll countdown 24, 23, 22.. won't be long till I see you again, Eric.

Eric - 3 weeks down

It's been 3 weeks since Eric has been away. He has only 24 months and 1 week more before he returns. Hope he's doing well and is busy, cos when you're busy, time flies. Soon, it'll be Dongwan's turn. I hope the bros have been keeping in contact thru sms / calls. Maybe Sungie has been cleaning Ric's house for him.

Dongwan's single album

Dongwan's single album will be released on 10 Nov 08. It will be the last piece before his enlistment on 17 Nov. It is available for preorder on yesasia. He has a song on this album that's a collaboration with Younha. I would actually prefer a collaboration with one of his Shinhwa bros but then again, all of them are fully stretched. Anyway, I've ordered mine and it'll be shipped on 11 Nov 08.

JunJin's 1st album - New Decade / Together 4ever

I also bought Junjin's new decade when it was released and then the repackaged album - together 4ever. I like the song (sarang handa neun keumal) as it features Eric. Quite nice to hear Ric's voice especially now that he's not here.
I like ALL the songs in Junjin's album. They all sound catchy and easy to the ears (unlike M's music - much as I like M, I don't listen to his album as JJ's) I also like JJ's duet with Lee Ji Hoon in "For You".

Only thing I didn't like are the photos (in New Decade & Together 4ever). All of them don't look good, a little weird. It doesn't do justice to Jinnie's handsome / cute face. He always looks so perfect but .. sigh. Something wrong with the hairstylist / photographer. "Jin ah, change them".

Dongwan's album - The secret between us

I bought his 2nd album (The secret between us) when it was released a few months back. It is a very good album and I love most of the songs.

When he released a repackage of this album, I also ordered and I received it only recently. The repackage album contains many new photos - not the "Dongwan with the bright smile" kind of photos but the manly, steady & quiet side of Dongwan. The side that I seldom see on TV or videos.

An interesting side....a face that I'll miss for 2 years, starting 17 Nov 08, just a few days before his 30th birthday on the 21 of Nov.

I also bought the flower pot by Dongwan. It comes with seeds and I'll start growing them next Jan. I don't have green fingers but I'll try and see what kind of blooms I'll get. As I water the plants daily, I'll say a short prayer for Dongwan.
