❧ Stargazing.. (more...)

Sunday, September 11, 2011, 10:32 AM

First was shinee world, the opening was EXACTLY THE SAME as previous concerts. :) At that moment, i was really overwhelmed with excitement. Its like OhMyGod, they're really here. AND I'm here too! Yeah, Taemin appeared, then key, then onew, then minho, lastly, Jonghyun. :D They seemed so tired then. The first set, intro songs, were all dancey? so they lipsynced for Shinee world, get down - the live performances changed my opinion of the song. I really like it now. , senorita, juliette. Think amigo was live? I forgot.

Then they sang stand by me, your name, and our love still goes on live. :D :D Jonghyun's mike had some problem at the start of the concert but the staff changed his mike very quickly so it was okayy. :D After Stand by me, they introduced themselves in korean and only key said: "Hello singapore, this is key!" And everyone screamed. Haha, cute boy with his perfect pronunciation of english.

Solo stage, Taemin's 1st. It was, wow. His vocals really improved, and i'm happy to see his dancing, with my own eyes, LIVE. :D

Then it was Jonghyun's solo. OMG HE SANG THE WHOLE FIRST VERSE AND CHORUS OF THE SONG IN PURE FALSETTO. D: D: D: I was totally taken aback by his perfect vocals. Then the second verse, he went back to his singing voice, which sounded perfect as well. I liked it. :D Alot. Plus, its fucking live so, there's totally nothing to dislike. D:

Then Minho's. OH.MY.GOSH. Seriously, it was just, OHMYGOSH. HIS 8 PACK IS. $#!$^@*#$!#^ SAME AS SIWON'S D: D: D: I like the song alot, and his dancing. Plus he sang live as well, although it wasn't completely live cos he didn't sing the entire song due to the dancing so it was hard to breathe for singing? Still, he sang pretty much and sounded great. I love this man.

Then it was Key's MY FIRST KISS FEATURING. LEE.TAE.MIN. AHHHHHH!!!! So prettaye and funny and just awesome. I think it's during here i relaxed a little, cos they seemed happier. Not as tired as before.

After that, it was AYOOOO, funny and fun and everyone followed the actions of drawing hearts. :D Sweet serenades set was. Tearful. LOL. Okay what can you expect from me.

I broke down at romantic, the song that really turned me into a shawol after seeing a live performance of it last year online. It was the first ballad song from them i've ever heard, and i fell in love with Key's voice there. Then it was obsession. The song, that i listened to umpteen times last year, cos it was written by Jonghyun. I really liked their vocals in that song, it's overwhelming and just loud? for a soft rock kinda ballad. Next was graze. Another favourite song of mine. Cried. So. Hard. I'm glad i got to listened to all these songs live. Onew's was pitch-perfect, without his earpiece. So was Jonghyun.

Then they sang their debut song, replay and love like oxygen. I liked that era alot, esp LLO. :D

K, this was the part whereby i dreaded + anticipated the most. The saddest ballad they've ever had, Quasimodo. It was. Hmmm. Goosebumpish. I told myself not to cry at all, when they played the mv before they appeared and sang it live. And i remained stunned throughout the song, it was perfect. Jonghyun's I'm trying dying crying for you was so. Beautiful. Still, i hold my tears in, looking upwards so that it wont flow down. Then the last line, where onew sang, saranghae, k it flowed out like some tap water, just kept going on.

Ultimate favourite song of theirs is next. I knew it. But still, I was scared to listen. D: Don't know why. Just, it was unbelievable that i'm really listening to my favourite song of theirs live. It's been my favourite song for a year completely, ever since i first heard it last october. I lied on shan's shoulder, cos i was REALLY scared to hear it. I've probably cried 70% of the times i heard that song, and i hear it at least once per day, not to mention when i first heard it, i played it repeatedly for months. Even up till now, it's the most played song on my phone. I can never get tired of it. Fyi, second most played is Jonghyun's first ever OST, so goodbye. :P

So yeah, i got up when they started singing from shan's shoulder and just decided i can do it. I listened, teared, smiled, and thanked many in silence. Thanked god, for fulfilling my wish of listening to this live, and crying officially. :X Thanks for the song Life, which changed my life as well. Thanked them, for singing it exactly the way they always had but it was a little different cos Onew lipsynced i think, he was really tired. Plus next was his solo. So, yeah, it's still perfect. Thanked Shan, for knowing i was crying yet allowed me to, and just stayed beside me. Thanked mummy, for allowing me to go for this concert, which is the best day ever since 2011 second half year started.

I can never say it's the best because, i guess it's obvious SS3 is irreplacable. The smile, look, and wave donghae gave me, in the eye, still inspires me when i feel like giving up on something up till now. He's my main source of strength these days. Still September 10th holds the 2nd best day of my life. Lastly, i thanked myself for never regretting liking them, and giving them the rights to affect my life so much.

Then it was Onew's solo. He defines perfect. That's all i can say. I liked his solo stage alot, probably the most. His voice, at times like then, really surpasses jonghyun's strong voice, because, it has the ability to touch people. He reminded me of Jaejoong. Very much.

Final set was hit songs. RDD came and it was different from other performances cos there was a dance part whereby all of them danced, and key and taemin had a solo dance part. :D It was daebak really, but onew really looked tired. X:

Up and down was happy and lively, all the members pointed to key and sang. So was ready or not, onew looked like he had fun here, i was more ease then.

Closing song was Lucifer. It was REALLY NICE AHHHHHHHHHHH. Hahahahahaha, i liked the extra rap part alot. Lasers were nice as well. :) They looked really hot, especially taemin and jonghyun.

Encore stage was fantastic. Jojo was really soothing, bodyguard was funny and high cos they started splashing water at each other and throwing balls. Key kissed every ball he threw to the audience. They then talked again, and said it was a happy and fun day and their thankful for us etc, then onew introed the last song, one.

I obviously cried lol. It was another favourite song of mine. I liked the meaning behind the song, so sweet and truthful. They sang, playing around still. :)

And the concert ended, with them bowing thrice 90 degrees to us, thanks speech and of cos key's happy birthday song. We're prepared to sing the korean version, but jonghyun led us to sing the english one instead. :D He's so cute. Key was very touched, and he was really delighted. :) :) I smiled.

Well, we didn't wanna leave so much. Haha, still we took few shots of the stage, and left unwillingly, with me still crying so much. D: AHHHHH, i'm embarrassed. Then, went to look for melody and took photos but before that both of us screamed like siao when shinee came out of the stadium in their van and me and melody ran from the side of the bridge allllll the way to end of the bridge!!!!! SO HAPPY AHAHAHAHAHAH THEY WERE PLAYING IPAD LOL. Yeah, the night ended with smiles and screams with cheryl and shan instead of tears on my own. :)

I'm happy now, that my life's complete. I've seen all the people i've wanted to in my life. It was a dream. Yet they all came true. So thankful for everything. I've said that my life would be complete if i saw shinee perform with my own eyes, and now, it's completed. I have nothing else to ask for in my life, but only wish that all the men that mattered so much to me living on the other side of the world stays healthy and happy. :)

Despite all the complains and shit in my life i have, i'm always mindful that i'm lucky to have the ability and opportunity to pursue what i really want and like. And i'm thankful, to have friends that supports me throughout no matter what happens.

It's pretty amazing how people don't know of your existence, can have the ability to change you, into someone better i guess. They changed me, alot, and i'm grateful to the most important men of my life, for allowing me to realise that, it's not always just about studies and just achieving As. It's about enjoying what you are doing, and staying happy because, you only live once. You can always freaking study hard and achieve As anytime, but attending concerts like this is once in a lifetime. You can definitely feel happy to be a top scorer in the nation, but i'm pretty sure, nothing beats having someone(s) that inspires you in the path of life to perform something you loved and that person(s) travelled half the world just to perform, and the amount of satisfaction you get from just a look, or a smile they gave, covers every single shit you have to go through.

And for this, i'm even more thankful to shinee, who allowed me to treasured whatever donghae gave me even more.

This post is wordy, and i know. It's for me to read next time, so that i'll never forget the way i'm feeling right now.

Last but not least, I wanna thank them again.

Yeah, thats the list of people that inspired me in one way or another in my 15 years of life. They're the people that touched me with their stories, or life they had or words they've said, or songs they've sang. Other than that those that i've cried over in dramas are unofficial lol, cos its in a scripted show. Like, its not really real. So, i'm sorry i can't add alot ppl in. Btw it's in no order okay. I was trying to rmb who made me cry lol. NOT IN A DRAMA ONES ARE HARD. :P

Bye. If you really read until this end of the post, i'm thankful. :)
