Just an entry on the the last day of 2010.

Hi! I'm back from oblivion. Hahaha.

Today's 31st December 2010. The very last day of 2010. Everything's gotta have its end. It's been a good year. Yeah, of course there were really sad times but everything's like that right? Honestly, I think, by far, the saddest experience I've had in life happened this year. It was the passing of my grandfather. Haven't told anyone so much about this and only a few knew because they asked me the right questions. Happened in March and the whole thing was almost like a drama. I'm serious. Really shocked us. Especially my grandma. My grandpa & grandma had gone on a vacation trip to Malaysia. Two days after their return to Brunei, grandpa passed away. Another tearful thing is that now, my grandma has to deal with her diseases alone without her husband. I'll just leave the story at that. I've tweeted on my Twitter that I'm gonna do something uncommon today so I guess this is it, telling you what's been constantly bothering me this year.

Hearbreaking story aside, I've read this book by Kathy Reichs called 'Devil Bones'. It was a great book. I actually bought two books by Kathy Reichs, 'Devil Bones' and '206 Bones'. Maybe you knew already that Kathy Reichs's books inspired the TV series 'Bones'. So I thought her books would be like the TV series but hell, I was wrong. No Booth, no Angela, no Hodgins, no Jeffersonian Forensic team except for Dr.Temperance Brennan. Like 'Bones' the TV series, Dr.Brennan is the main character of the book but she's not the daughter of some criminal or a thirty-something forensic anthropologist. Brennan, in the book, is a forty-something divorced forensic anthropologist working at two places : Charlotte and Quebec. Okay, back to me. When I just bought the two books, I actually read '206 Bones' first but somehow the disappointment washing over me at that time when finding out that it's so not the TV 'Bones' totally made me disinterested so I was thinking "Maybe I should try reading Devil Bones first?" because the title was more intriguing, "plus, now I know that this isn't Bones anymore so what have I got to lose?" And I was hooked. I'm suddenly looking forward to '206 Bones' now. Haha. An interesting fact, '206 Bones' was the book released after 'Devil Bones' so I'm actually reading the books in order! How about that?

Alright, that's it for my blog entry. Enjoy your last day of 2010. Do something crazy or whatever.

My Fany is 21 yo!

HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY STEPHANIE HWANG MI YOUNG!!!!!!!

Hello blog! It's been centuries since I last updated this blog huh? Haha. I've been busy... and lazy. But I'm back today because it's Tiffany's birthday!!!!! It's August 1st 2010 !!! I was planning to put up recent pictures of her on top of this post but blogger was so bimbo when I tried uploading them so no pictures. Boooo blogger.com!!!

Yesterday was YulTi's last day as MuCore MCs and they had a special stage singing 4MEN's 'Baby Baby'. Fany cried at the last line of the song, then the other seven girls of SNSD came giving Yuri and Tiffany each a bouquet of flowers. Awwwww.... that's so sweet. I'm happy all the girls were there. I remember the first day Tiffany and Yuri became MuCore MCs - Natsun introduced them, 'That's not my name' played and YulTi walked on the runway, after that they sang to Natsun's 'Come To Play' and when the song ended YulTi officially introduced themselves as MCs. It's been more than a year since that day.

Here's the link to the video of YulTi's MC goodbye stage : Click Me!

People have been tweeting this around: Get to know the REAL Tiffany

It contains some basic background of Tiffany, quotes from her and comments on her coming from those who have met her in person. If you read it, you'll know that Tiff is a really sweet and kind girl.

In case you don't want to click on the link and read the comments, here's some of my picks:

a) “It was really brave of her, really. I had my whole family supporting me. They’re here with me right now, but she still doesn’t have her family here and now she’s so big, she’s so huge, here in Korea. And, I think her family would really be happy.” - Jessica

b)During the Variety show Champagne, SNSD’s manager picked Tiffany as the girl who would have succeeded academically because she puts the most effort in whatever she does.

c)“She really studies hard. She became the MC for a music show and she felt proud and studied even harder. Everyday she would study the script and write down things she didn’t know, and ask about words she doesn’t understand and would write down the definitions.” - Yoona on Strong heart talking about Tiffany’s improvement in Korean.

d)“Everything will be good as long as you do your best. Because if you do, there will be no regrets.” - Tiffany.

Her dedication.

e) "All of my unnies take care of me very well, but Tiffany takes care of me a lot.” - SeoHyun.

“Tiffany seems to look after the members the most.” - Maybee. “It’s because we’re a family.” - Tiffany.

f)During a volunteering activity with fans, Tiffany encouraged the group she was in to work hard and they ended up finishing first. Afterwards she suggested that they help the other group since they had done all of their work.

g)Sulli from f(x) said in an interview that Tiffany told her if she ever wanted to buy things she could use her credit card instead of using her own money.

h)“The way Tiffany unnie thinks… She is very mature. Her sense of responsibility is strong as well. There are many things to learn from her.” - SeoHyun.

i)“When Tiffany laughs, she laughs so innocently and like a child. But she’s really mature and adult-like. She’s really thoughtful and I think there are lots of things we can learn from her.” - Sooyoung.

j)“She is seriously one of the most self-less and truly loving friends I’ve ever known or met. She cares so much about every one of you, and she really does pray for all her fans, I think sometimes more than herself. She is a walking angel.” - Jaeson Ma.

Ok, i think i've given you enough quotes. Click on the link and read all of them!

I'd like to add on with this statement tweeted by 'SujuMembersFact' on twitter (since this wasn't on the site i linked you to) :

Fany's personality : "Well, she's really, really bubbly and bright in person. Very candid and clearly just says whatever is on her mind. A huge ball of energy and cheerfulness and not in that fake, overly cutesy way that a lot of Korean females use. Meeting her was great." -ginger @ soompi

I've said this on my Twitter and I'm adding a bit more to it. To me, Tiffany deserves the love the fans give her and she should be loved.She has flaws but her sweetness, kindness and thoughtfulness make up for them. Happy Birthday my sweet angel. :)

Vlahs

Hello again people!

Ok, we had CCA yesterday and you guys know that I'm in the Journalism club right? Well, at first i was thinking of quitting the club after the CCA session the week before but I've decided to stay after yesterday. Never knew interviewing people could be fun. I think the reason why I wanted to quit at the beginning was because I was scared that there would be a lot of work to do, you know, I felt like I've already got a mountain of h/wk and here comes another subject (Journalism) to just make everything harder. Yeah, that was how I felt. But the feeling's three-quarter gone now. (Three-quarter is good enough ok?!) LOL. And I think we need a photographer.

It's been a month since school started and guess what? For History, we've done THREE essays! Three doesn't sound like a big number, unless you have experienced giving birth to triplets, but it is a big number when there are so many things to write and when the deadline is coming your way in a fast pace. Haha. I'm not saying that it's bad though. Since the day I chose History as my A'Level subject, I knew I'm gonna go through this anyway.

I haven't logged on to SSF for days now or has it been a week? And Youtube too, but i went on Youtube just half an hour ago. I was watching this fancam of SNSD's The M recording and this fangirl was shouting "Fany!!!" and Fany turned around audibly saying "waaaeee...?".(Video Link) Ugh, I'm such a hopeless sucka when it comes to Tiffany that I just went "Ahhhhh, Fany you're so cute!!!!!!!" with my legs continuosly shaking giddily in an almost abnormal fast speed. That was the only video I've watched so far today, maybe I'll watch more afterwards. Do you know that I fail so much as a SONE that I haven't watched any of their 'Oh!' comeback stages?

I found this article on Soompi:

In Defense of Girls' Generation
By: ginger

In the world of Kpop, there will always be favorites. These select soloists and groups enjoy success that is almost completely clean from scandal and boycotts. They are defended by the masses no matter what the situation. Handsome or pretty enough to be admired but not blindingly attractive enough to spark jealousy, they are constantly seen as down to earth and humble. For a while, this title belonged to The Wonder Girls but has since been passed to 2NE1. These groups inspired fans from both genders. The boys thought they were cute, the girls wanted to emulate them.

Then, there are groups that--no matter what single, no matter what style of dress, no matter what level of performance--will always shoulder a mound of catty comments, anger, jealousy, and scandal. They're prettier than the girl next door. They're flashier, too. Their skirts are always too short, their pants are always a little too tight, their singing is always bad-mouthed as sub-par, and their songs are always the subject of plagiarism issues.

Girls' Generation came out my first year in Korea. Their single, "Into the New World" was the epitome of what I viewed Korean pop to be at the time--overly cheerful, overly cheesy, and over produced. I couldn't tell one girl from the other. Their sheer numbers freaked me out. I couldn't stand the cutesy mannerisms, no matter how catchy the songs were.

But, over time, I've definitely come to be a defender--maybe even fan--of GG. Maybe it happened just because I was bored and wanted to push buttons on the Soompi forums. The hatred that amassed for this group on the internet happened quickly and never really let up. The girls were scolded (occasionally with good reason) by the netizens (both Korea and internationally) for flippant comments made on radio and TV shows. But as time went on, these "scandals" became less severe in content but remained irrationally harsh in their reception.

I remember reading a particularly scathing thread on Soompi where Tiffany talked about how difficult it was to adapt to the culture, the loss of her mother, etc. Some of the comments were along the lines of, "boohoo, she wants sympathy? Who cares? We all have problems" and "She is KOREAN. Why can't she just understand Korean culture and just respect it?" It was disgusting to read, and it just conjured images of immature, insecure bullies picking on a classmate. It's like...when there is a target, a lot of people will just get caught up in pointing fingers just for the sake of doing it. It's a herd mentality--going with the flow, convincing yourself about a person you don't even know, and...for what? To feel better about yourself?

I guess I liked them because they were the obvious choice to dislike--they were the seemingly perfect but incredibly disdained darlings of the Kpop world. No matter how well-known they are, their strong anti-fan shadow follows them. I was at the Dream Concert of 2008, where I saw thousands and thousands of teenage girls sit down, turn off their little flashy light toys, and boo. And again...for what? I'm sure they were proud of themselves. I am guessing they all laughed about it later, chatting with their friends, "And then, we ALL SAT DOWN and ignored them. It was GREAT. I bet they feel like crap now. Hahahaha maybe they're, like, crying!! I hope so."

But even as I felt sorry for them, I did think they were a slight cut above the rest in terms of many of the Kpop girl groups. Maybe it's just due to their high number of members, but they have pretty consistent performances. I was classically trained in singing for five years, so I'm a picky person in terms of vocals, but Girls' Generation isn't nearly as bad as most people in the Kpop fandoms are quick to point out.

I mean, I love After School but their lives are usually terrible (3 of the members have yet to prove that they can even sing their single lines without quivering, cracking, of going off pitch), Kara induces cringes half of the time, 2NE1 (a fan favorite, I know) has Park Bom as their LEAD SINGER and she is almost consistently flat and strained (I don't care how many people will disagree with me and say that she is this OMG AMAZING SINGER--she's flat. She's FLAT), and the list goes on. So Girls' Generation may not have tons of competition in the pop idol sense (excluding groups like Davichi, As One, etc as they are more known for their vocals and not their idol status) but, uh, they're usually not bad. Not at all.

And finally, I met Jessica and Tiffany for the Soompi interview earlier this winter. I was a little...I won't say skeptical because that's so strong, but I was curious about what they'd be like in person. Meeting them was a huge relief. Tiffany couldn't have been sweeter or friendlier. I've met a lot of girls who are fake friendly in my life, and this girl was genuine. She's one of those girls that you think, "I bet she's a good friend." Jessica was a litle more quiet, but she didn't have an "ice princess" vibe that I had expected. Polite, attentive, and nice, just not as openly enthusiastic as Tiffany.

I don't even know where I was going with this entry. I guess, with their new single, "Oh!", a lot of backlash has already started and will continue to grow. For Girls' Generation, it's just a given. If they do something cute, they are doing "the same thing AGAIN." If they go for a more mature concept, they're "trying too hard."

For a group whose very name portrays the power of women, this group of ladies somehow brings out the worst in their gender. Their female peers will continue to sneer and sharpen their carefully laquered claws. They'll tap out the newest scandal and it will spread like a fire from Korea to the rest of the internet. They'll sit in silence during their performances, pretend to ignore them, and quietly hope that they are horribly embarrassed and upset. And they'll do all this because, I guess, they believe Girls' Generation actually deserves it. They won't pause to remember that--stripped of their heels, hair extensions, and record deals--these girls are just like them.

But c'est la vie, Girls' Generation. You'll get the last laugh. Keep kickin' up those legs, keep smiling.

What if Tiffany was one of my besties? Me want that preeetyyyy puhlease? She sounds like a kind person in a majority of the Tiffany encounter accounts I've read. I LOVE YOU TIFFANY!!! Oh yeah, I have a new nickname to call Fany :Byul. 'Byul' means star. I decided to call her that after listening to SNSD's ballad from the Oh! album, 'Star Star Star'.

Aigoo! I finally remember! I was supposed to post up Tiffany's 'Thank You' message from the Oh! album.

There we go! Click on this LINK if you wanna read the message.

And some extras:

Sorry, the pictures have been reduced to a smaller size. Blame blogger.com.

---------------------------------

This is random but yesterday, my 'long lost twin' finally knows me! Last words, I love my Byul and goodbye!

Her 'sky'.

Could this be Fany's sister, Michelle? The one Fany looks up to the most? She mentions her sister a lot so it's obvious that her sister is her role model. If you've read my previous post, Michelle is currently studying anthropology at Berkeley for her PhD. Cool~



I've seen this picture in a website somewhere before actually. Compared to the picture below, this one makes her look more like she's Fany's sister.Noticed the way she smiles? It's so like Fany!




Here, her eyes resembles Fany's don't cha think? It has the same innocent look in those eyes. A product of similar genes, I guess. Haha.


I'm curious of how Fany's brother, Leo looks like. Tiffany doesn't mention her brother a lot though. It's always her sister. Michelle is probably Tiffany's 'sky'.


Bye!

Tiffany likes HISTORY??? It's fate. lol

SOOMPI, an international KPop website, managed to interview Tiffany and Jessica!

Here it is:

We were able to catch up with Tiffany and Jessica, the lovely Korean American ladies of SNSD, while we were in Korea for a quick trip. After spending some time getting to know them and talking to them about their experiences as Korean pop stars, we were amazed at how down to earth and friendly they both were – and yes, they are as cute and pretty in person as they are in photos and videos! We asked them a few questions from you, the Soompi members, and a few questions of our own. The entire interview was conducted in English. Read on and make sure to check out the video shout-out at the end!


Soompi: One of the questions our members are really curious about is: Do you know Soompi?
Tiffany: I definitely know it and I'm amazed at how much it's grown. My sister's a frequent user. I knew it when I was back home.
Soompi: Right, it's been around for a long time.
Tiffany: But it wasn't like, this major.
Soompi: K-Pop is really making it grow and it's actually your guys' work that is making it grow a lot more. So have you been to the site yourself, then?
Tiffany: Oh, I've been to the site myself, of course!
Soompi: And were you a member back in the day? Or were just a lurker?
Tiffany: [laughs] Ah, I was just a lurker. I was just getting into the site.
Soompi: When all this happened?
Tiffany: Yeah. Yeah.


Soompi: How much Korean music did you know about before you came to Korea?
Jessica: Actually, when I came to Korea I was in 5th grade and I didn't know anything about Korean music. I kind of knew H.O.T. [laugh] but like, I really had no idea about Korean music. Or well, I was really interested in this field. Well, but Tiffany had a different story.
Tiffany: Yeah, I was the opposite. I wasn't really familiar with it but I just got really into K-Pop the year I was cast. And that would be... 2003? 2004?
I immediately fell in love with it because it was just as cool as American pop, you know? Yeah, so I was um, really, really into that.
Jessica: [cutting in] When she first came to Korea –
Tiffany: I was like, obsessed. [everyone laughs]
Jessica: She was called "Little BoA" because she had yellow hair.
Tiffany: I had the long hair and round cheeks and I really admired her look. I mean, that's what made me start. Yeah, she's definitely my icon.


Soompi: Well, since you've been here, you've obviously met a lot of people in the entertainment industry since you go to a lot of performances and events. Who have you met that has blown your expectations out of the water? Like, you had a lot of respect for them before but when you met them, you were amazed.
Tiffany: [pause, thinking] Definitely BoA. And I mean, she still tends to amaze the world.
Jessica: [thinking] Um... for me... Dong Bang Shin Gi.
Tiffany: [cuts in] Yeah, I have to say that, too. They're so professional.
Jessica: Yeah, they're like different people.
Tiffany: That's why we admire both of them. BoA unnie, she's tiny and little and cute and completely lovable. And she goes onstage and she's completely different.
Soompi: She's got a lot of power onstage.
Tiffany: With both of them, that's something that we definitely admire. When it comes to music, their passion is so intense that they're like different people, and that's what we admire.

Soompi: So SM has their training program, and right now, a lot of our members are getting ready for the auditions. I'd say a good number of our members want to join the entertainment industry either as entertainers like you guys or as A&R, producers, directors, or like writers of drama. They all have these dreams and they take these auditions really seriously. So one of the things we want to know about is like, what is the day-to-day life of a trainee like?
Jessica: Actually, for us, um...
Tiffany: For us, we were pretty... pretty normal.
Jessica: Like, the whole is: we go to school and after school, we come have lunch, and then we have vocal lessons, dance lessons, and um, we practice on our own. Time flies.
Tiffany: Since I went to high school in America, I was really, really social. I loved extracurricular activities and so this was basically like extracurricular activities. It was just as fun, but the pressure was – I have to say – higher because you know, when you're in school, they cut you slack. It's part of school, you know? But this wasn't part of school so you have to be like... perfect in both. So it's not extracurricular, it's like two schools. It's like two jobs, right? [laughs]


Soompi: Okay, so since you guys are Korean Americans in the Korean entertainment industry...
Tiffany: [cheerfully] Proud to be!
Soompi: Do you feel like you have given something special to your group in particular or to even Korean music culture? Being from overseas?
Tiffany: [thinking] Um, yeah, yeah. [then with more certainty] There's always something different, once you set us girls together.
Tiffany and Jessica: [laughing, in unison] There's always something different about us!
Tiffany: So they'll be like, "okay, the two Americans, come over here!" [Jessica laughs] Because we'd like, be always talking in English and it's good that we have each other because the culture difference... it's pretty different. It's cool. And it's cool definitely when we look at the bigger picture – when we go outside of Korea and all over Asia. And we're definitely interested in pursuing careers back home, as well. I think it's cool because you can only do the whole teen pop stuff once and because it's sooo highly [searching for a word]... valued here, it's very exciting and it's an honor.


Soompi (via hirachan): What has been the most difficult thing about being a Korean American in Korea?
Jessica and Tiffany: Culture.
Tiffany: [openly] I was the wild child. [laughs] I definitely was.
Jessica: [to Tiffany] For example, for her: maybe... food. At first.
Tiffany: [remembering] Ohhh, yeah...
Jessica: She came to Korea and she was like, "I want pizza, Jessica!" and so we had to go eat pizza. And she wasn't like a Korean girl. But now, she eats dwenjangjigae!
Tiffany: I'm full Korean now! But um, yeah. I was wild. I was used to being really outgoing and making friends every moment, but then – it's the culture different in Korea – it's so calm and... ladylike... but... [honestly] I'm wild. [laugh]
Jessica: [whispers loudly] YEAH.
Soompi: Do the other members support your Korean-Americanness?
Tiffany: YES, they do. I'm glad they've become a part of it because when they go back to America with us, they're like "So this is why you're like that!" [both laugh] They like it, too! The reactions, the food, or just everything. So it's really nice, actually.


Soompi: You guys know you have big fan followings in many countries, so do you have a message for those people? Mostly the non-Koreans or Korean Americans that want to come here and debut one day?
Tiffany: I'd definitely say that dreaming is the main point because I, myself, was back home – like every other member of this site – kind of just dreaming, "What if? What if?" And then I... went wild, came here, followed my dreams, and I'm here now. So I definitely think that it's not a far away dream as long as they have that much passion and the passion... gives you responsibility. I came here at such a young age and my dad was like, "What are you going to do going at such a young age?"
Jessica: It was really so brave of her, really.
Tiffany: [continuing] All of a sudden – I don't know what I was thinking.
Jessica: I had my whole family supporting me. They're here with me, right now. But she [Tiffany] still doesn't have her family here and now she's so big – she's so huge – here in Korea. And, I think, her family would really be happy.
Tiffany: [searching for words] It's... it's... it's as much passion as you have, just follow it, and you can be where you want to be. I mean, I am.
Jessica: And speaking English kind of a... plus.
Tiffany: Yeah, a plus.
Jessica: Because if you can speak Korean, that's great. But if you can also speak English, it's a plus.
Soompi: But how good does someone's Korean have to be?
Tiffany: [loudly] My Korean was terrible, don't worry.
Jessica: But you can catch up!
Tiffany: Yeah, I totally studied. And we're not stupid back home, you know? But you come here and you don't know what you're saying so it makes you want to study.


Soompi (via maharu.): This next question is actually from one of our members: How long, on average, does it take you to learn a dance routine? And what techniques do you use to help you memorize them?
Jessica: As a group, maybe three full days.
Tiffany: For maybe four or five hours a day. But... but this is bad! We usually take longer – we take our time – but now that we don't have that much time, our bodies are kind of programmed to work faster. But um, yeah. About five days? A few hours a day... it will be solid. Um, kind of solid.
Soompi: Do you have any techniques that you use? Or is it just the whole group, coming together?
Tiffany: You know, we realized it's not technique, it's just practice, practice, practice. You just have to repeat it over and over.
Jessica: And before you go to sleep, you just think about it. And then you go to sleep and you dream about it...


Soompi: Now we have a question for each of you. Tiffany, so you mentioned in a 2009 interview with Arirang that you felt like you came to Korea too soon, so what is it that you miss about your American teenage years? And if you'd stayed, would you have gone to college and what would you have wanted to study?
Tiffany: [quiet for a moment] I think this is known, but... I thought I was Elle Woods. [laughs] So I wanted to go to law school. Why I thought I came to soon was because I came without even thinking. Like, I came within three weeks. I packed up my whole life in three weeks without even thinking! I was just like, "Yay!" And then now, as I'm here alone, and I have so much time to think, I think, "I could have gone to prom, I could have gone to Sadie Hawkins." But I definitely wanted to do law and I'm a big fan of literature and history, so I like writing and reading. It's kind of nerdy, but... [laughs]
Soompi: Well, what you're doing is definitely more fun than law school. I promise you.
Tiffany: [laughing] Well, maybe I'll go back. But yeah, definitely, I'd still be at school. And I wanted to go to USC so much! My sister was like, "Berkeley!" Berkeley law is always nice. My sister is at Berkeley right now for her Ph.D. For anthropology.


Soompi (via Glenn): So then, for you, Jessica, your younger sister [Krystal of f(x)] is obviously a star also at SM. Did you try to give her as much advice as possible? Or did you let her kind of learn the ropes by herself?
Jessica: Um...I tried to let her learn by herself but because I'm her sister and I'm older, she tends to ask me a lot of questions and she worries about her future. We have a lot of conversations, and actually, our members are really supportive, too.
Tiffany: It's super cute. You can totally tell... she's exactly like Jessica! It's sooo cute! I was listening to their song in the car and I was like, "Dude, did Jessica sing a song without us?" Um, I mean you can totally tell she's picked up a lot of things from Jessica. Like, her sister picked up... only her good attributes. [joking]
Jessica: That's what I'm really happy about because she can learn from my mistakes.
Soompi: And did it surprise you when she decided to get into your industry?
Tiffany: It blew us away, she was so good.
Jessica: Yeah, but it wasn't actually all of a sudden. So it wasn't really surprising.
Tiffany: [joking sentimental voice] But... it's so cute! She's growing up...
Jessica: Just seeing her on TV and onstage is really exciting.

Tiffany likes History. I chose History for my O Level & A Level subject because I like the subject.It's fate, it's destiny. LOL. She likes writing & reading. I joined Journalism club because I wanna write and I love reading fanfics (does that count? Haha). I feel so jumpy(?) after reading this. It's like we have so much in common!
Haha, Tiffany thought she was Elle Woods! Well, I never thought of myself as Elle Woods but a few years back, after watching Legally Blonde, I actually decided that I'm going to be a lawyer and was like "I wanna go to Harvard". Harvard, that was too big of a dream wasn't it? But right now, I don't really know what I want to be in the future. Ok, back to the story. You know, when Tiff said that she was the "wild child", I was really happy. To me, wild is cool and I would like her to stay like that because it means you're so open, so free which she kinda is.

What's sweeter than sugar? SNSD.

Reading this, I knew I just have to put it up on this blog!
Soy's encounter with Tiffany, Sunny, Sooyoung & Hyoyeon on Dec 28th 2009. Soy said it was on that very date, two years ago (2007), that she became a SONE.

[12.28.09] Second Year as a SONE was Epic, Original - KOREA!

Haha so today Lynn and I woke up later than usual and basically wasted like half our day inside. We decided to call up Michelle and did some (more) SPAO shopping and walked around Myungdong a bit spotting the usual SNSD goodies left and right (official and just lol random stuff with their faces printed on them). After Myungdong we decided to try the bulgogi burgers at Lotteria in Daedongmun and lol departed home.

While on the subway back home lol Lynn and I talked about how fail of a day it was, especially since it was my 2nd year as a SONE. So this crazy idea came up that we were just going to sit outside of SM for a bit and then leave. It's not something we usually do or normally do but I guess we figured we had nothing to lose and I just had a really good feeling about today.

We basically got back to our hotel lol packed my laptop and a blanket and water and our lotteria burgers and then tried our best to get a taxi to the SM building but unfortunately lol it was impossible to get a taxi this late at night. SO out of nowhere lol this rather drunk gentleman spoke to us in English "where are you going?" and we we responded back with the area/location and had this conversation to him and he showed us how to use the bus system. LOL he was pretty harmless and that was our first time using the bus system so you could say it was almost like fate.

We arrived there and basically sat behind the SM building lol and spoke in English making a lot of random fans go O.o lol. We ended up sitting and watching Invincible Youth (soshi subbed of course!) on my laptop in the freezing cold. It was like -1 C when we checked the weather. We barely waited there and lol we heard the car door open to one of the vans and rushed over there to see no other than Sunny almost going into the van. We shouted out "Sunny, we're from Soshified". And she was like "Oh Soshified! Hi". Her English was really good. We asked her where Tiffany was cause Lynn and I got them these 9 shirts and wanted to give it to them but we had to explain it to Tiffany first. Then lol she cutely pointed to the building and said Tiffany was in there. So we complimented her on how cute she is in person and how amazing the concert was. She looked even more gorgeous than last time and we told her she looked so pretty without makeup and she blushingly said "thank you!".

Then out of nowhere shortly Tiffany appeared. Tiffany looked really tired but wow her eye-smile (this was my first time seeing it in person and so up close) was memorizing. You can tell she was really tired. She was surprised to see us ... haha so we were like "Hey Tiffany, we're Soshified!" And her face lit up. Then she noticed how cold we were and hugged us. Then Sunny hugged us as well. We were like "Tiffany do you remember us from Hollywood Bowl" and she looked at us for a bit and was like "Oh yeah of course! I remember you guys.." (to be honest that made my night). Lynn was telling her how she looks a lot skinnier and I told her lol she needs to stop doing those weird diets and she was like they've been really busy lately and apparently their hell is over the 31st. So we talked about how American fans usually don't do this, lol we usually don't do this, and she was like "Yeah I understand haha". I couldn't help but focus on Sunny's face the whole time because it looked like she understood everything. Then we mentioned that we got Tiffany a bag of Cheetos from America lol but left them at Ida's place and out of nowhere to the right of us we heard this huge "CHEETOOOOS?" with a cute voice haha and it was Sunny. Her face like lit up like crazy when we mentioned Cheetos and it was the cutest thing ever. Then we talked about the gifts and how she just got them and she's been too busy lately to to logon and do much of anything. Haha she said the girls loved the pink christmas tree and it was a very Soshified thing to send them. And she was very thankful for everything. We then talked about how amazing their concert was haha and I told Sunny I realllllly enjoyed her "Sunny" performance and she was like "aww thank you!" Tiffany said thanks to us for coming all the way there to see them perform. We talked a bit about how we both came from like Southern states and haven't seen snow in ages lol and we waited for them and even about how the drunk guy showed us the bus system haha and Tiffany was like "aww I'm praying for you guys!" It was a very Tiffany thing to say at the moment and just the way she said it was in itself a blessing! Haha and she hugged again for like the nth time haha because she understood how difficult this was. And then we brought over the shirts we ended up getting the girls. They have a huge 9 on them and on the back they say "a family that prays together, stays together" and Tiffany seemed to have really liked them. We talked a bit about colleges in America and random things and she said random stuff like "Oh it's an American thing".

Then Sooyoung and Hyoyeon came out. And Tiffany was like "oh there's the rest of the girls" and said something in Korean like "oh they're from Soshified" and Sooyoung and Hyoyeon both went "oh Soshified?". Lol and Sooyoung like walked over to us lol tried to give us a handshake but we just went up to hug her haha. And started saying "Thank you ... for all the support .... and gifts ..." in like impressively good English. We were like "woah your English is really good" haha and Lynn was like "you did a good job teaching them Tiffany" and Tiffany was like "haha I know" and said that actually all the girls are pretty good at speaking English they just don't show it often. And then we saw Hyo climb into the car sitting in the passenger seat. But then we heard a huge "woah woah" and saw Hyo at the driver's seat and was like Uhhhhh. Tiffany was like "oh it's ok she has her driver's license". And we were like ohhhhh ok. Haha and I went where is yours, Tiffany? And she said it was in the process lol. And then haha some other things were mentioned blah blah ... then haha we said bye and Hugged them all again and then saw Hyoyeon backing up the car and driving them back home with no manager.

We talked a bit with Tiffany about other things. We told her our gift packages have been decreasing because this year we've been focusing more on charity donations and she appreciated that. She said that she, herself, donated to a charity in Shanghai Children's fund but didn'twant to make it public because it usually got too out of hand and became too big of a thing over in Korea.

Haha we talked about some things at the end lol and she promised us something haha and I was like "don't lie ..." haha and Tiffany held my hand and said she never lies. Her hands were extremely warm lol and I forgot to wear gloves so I was freezing.

LOL so during this whole conversation the Manager was just standing there, I guess he was overwhelmed by all of the English.

Some things were omitted from the conversation we had with the girls haha because they were pretty private so I hope everyone understands and just enjoys what I can give from this fan account.

I just want to say how amazing it is that now when we say Soshified, haha the girls know what it is exactly, that's shows that we've gotten somewhere in my eyes when our girls know and follow our site as much as they do.

What an epic night! I might have forgotten certain things but forgive me haha I was too happy/cold to really remember everything. We asked for a picture again this time but haha we got something better that can't be posted but lol cause we were like right infront of the SM building haha we said it was ok cause we knew it would be difficult for her to let us take a picture like that.

That was a good read. Cute Sunny with her "CHEEETOOOS?" LOL. And Tiffany, you're such a darling! She knows the girls are freezing, and hugged them. Don't that make you go "awww"? It did, to me!

Ok, look, i know for sure that SNSD will always have antis and the hating will never end. That's just reality check and, as stupid as this sounds, it would be better if it stays like that. The antis made my love for the girls grew, thank you for that antis (no sarcasms implied). From what i've read in most of the fan-accounts, the above article as an example, these girls are really sweet. Hey, at least, eventhough SNSD has heck lot of antis; their fanbase is pretty big. Antis and fans: we're even. Hearing the antis trashing the girls is really irritating and just makes me wanna swear, I admit, but I can live with that. Heck, I've been living with it my whole SONE life and I'm still alive! Haha! All is fair in love and war. Never really get what that means though so I'm applying it with how i want it to mean. You bash the girls, you're doing what you want to do. We listen to you and it just makes us love and protect the girls. Get it? Both sides of the party get what you want. You get to bash and we get to love them. See? Fair, right? An agreement we dont' even need to sign on the papers.

Bye!!!

7 days left till school opens!

Nice to see, nice to touch. DON'T touch.

Her eyes and lips are just sexy man!

I'm so bored right now, i can't wait for school. One week left!!!

again Soy ^^.

QUOTE:

haha but we were with ida (isak) the other day and she told us about lol how they went to see new moon with tiffany and like the opening of the movie has like you know the moon coming out and apparently during that part Tiffany was spazzing like crazy haha and everyone was like "uh that's just a moon"

------

yeah and apparently they went out to eat lol and tiffany like didn't want to go with her manager so ida (isak) took her and they went to this nice restuarant and the portions there are really big but like tiffany ordered a lot of stuff lol the waiter was like "uh can the two of you finish this"and like they ordered anyways and tiffany ended up eating everything

-------

lol but we were at music bank and screamed out tiffany soshfiied and she did this really weird hand thing and screamed back YEAH rofl and the other sones were like ... what about us haha and she was like oh and sones too!

"uh, that's just a moon". ROFL!!! Omg Tiffany you're such a kid! ilu girl! i'm laughing like crazy here alone in this little room. idk, the fact that she spazzes over something like that is just funny.

ok, *still laughing*, idk what to talk about anymore.

Also, i know that there's been a rumor of Hankyung leaving SM because he felt insulted by SNSD so I hope all of you could just IGNORE THAT NEWS!!! why the heck would he leave because he felt insulted by girls?? It made Hankyung sound LIKE an over-sensitive girl! Spare his dignity please. I don't really know why he decided to leave but Hwaiting dude!!!

On December 23rd, the Chinese Fans Website published the news "Hankyung insulted by Girls Generation repeatedly, Kim Heechul could not stand it." The news came from the anti-SNSD organization (the organization maliciously against SNSD), and it was the first time that the domestic media quoted a fake news fabricated by an ANTI organization and released it to the public.

Nevertheless, anyone who understands about SNSD and Hankyung will know that the news was completely unreal.

First, the news said that "When SJ received an entertainment interview, the MC asked Hankyung that whether his identity of being a Chinese cause inconvenience while promoting in Korea. Hankyung laughed and said something optimistic, then Heechul revealed that "There was one time we're doing makeup in the dressing room (Heechul started to do gestures), SNSD came in, and Taeyeon started yelling when she saw Hankyung "What are you doing oppa? Do you think that you are a Korean just because you dyed your hair yellow?" We felt ill at ease hearing that at the time, cause being in the same group, Hankyung ,who is a foreign member, is more like our family member. However, everyone knows that, Hankyung had his hair yellow in 2006, while SNSD made their debut on August 2nd, 2007(the time Hankyung had his hair white), it was doubtless that SNSD didn't exist at that time, how was it possible that they shared the dressing room?

Second, the news also said that "On a variety show, the MC introduced Hankyung enthusiastically as a multi-talented Chinese young man, and had he showed some traditional Chinese dance. While the guests praised Hankyung with his stunning dancing skill, Taeyeon said "Is this the level of the Chinese traditional dance?" jokingly, and Jessica continued "Even kids can dance something like this nowadays" then the nine girls laughed, Hankyung face became stiff at the moment, but the MC came to smooth things out, so he didn't say more, only covered his mouth and became more and more silent."Hankyung did dance traditional dance on shows many times, but only three on Korean variety show and two of them were in 2006! The one in 2007 invited Lee Sooyoung as female guest of the music circles. Did the fabricator saw the words "Sooyoung" and mixed Lee Sooyoung with Sooyoung of SNSD? The Sooyoung of SNSD is called Choi Sooyoung!

Third, the news even said that "At the interview of the SM family (DBSK was absent), the MC asked Hankyung that had he ever teach others how to speak Chinese, SNSD at that time said "Isn't it suppose to be us to teach him how to speak Korean?"contemptuously. Hankyung forced himself to smile. (Hateful is the thing that SNSD didn't use honorifics toward their oppas, and it's disrespectful in Korea who emphasize the concept of seniority.)"Now this is making people not to know whether to cry or to laugh at. This wasn't a family interview at all; it was an exclusive interview of SNSD by TOM entertainment in 2008. Entitled "TOM's exclusive interview of SNSD: Learning Chinese with Hankyung oppa", the original content was:

TOM: Heard you learn to speak Chinese with Hankyung, did he give you lots of support?

Tiffany: We can't meet him often, he'll say hi to us with a smile if he saw us, members with better relation will even ask about each other.

Hyoyeon: It supposes to be us who teach Hankyung oppa how to speak Korean instead because he's working in Korea.

They used honorifics in the interview, and it was a casual talk, nonetheless it's claimed to be disrespectful, yet Hankyung wasn't even there at that time.

Fourth, "Yoona asked Hankyung when she first saw him "Why do you Chinese always come to Korea? You were able to enter the SM Company because of your appearance, right? I just couldn't get it, isn't China a large place?" The words made Heechul dissatisfied; he mentioned it on his Cyworld."
However, the truth is, Kim Heechul's Cyworld never had words like this; it was completely made up by the Antis.

I bolded the keywords to make it easier for you guys.

9th post of the month!

LOL. Just gotta post that up. Spreading the 2Ny love. This pairing is like my fave right now. Sunny wouldn't even let Fany get up, aww, my poor baby. Ahahaha! Somehow that was hot. Me and my dirty mind, I know. Having fun, girls? Well, I am!

Gonna share you guys this audio of Fany singing Umbrella on Day 1 at SNSD 1st Asia Tour Concert. I love you girl! :



Umberrellla eh eh eh eh~
I'm staying under your umbrella no doubt!!! The girl's improving, kudos to her!

Fan account coming through!

A fan account can't get any more accurate than this..

Oh and the event.. it was epic fail haha


I arrived a little bit late and entered as they were playing the opening clip.
It was a video with the girls appearing like angels along with their names.

The first song wasn't a remix of Tell Me Your Wish (Genie) but the original version that came out on the Genie Dance UCC!
The one where they rest a beat then say, "Sowoneul malhaebwa"! This was the original.
They sang the song wearing a white, furry jacket. The same outfit they wore to Entertainment Tonight!
They were lipsyncing~
The girls' hair styles included long-haired Yoong, long-haired Syoung, long-haired Fany, and curly-haired Taeng haha
The rest of the girls had their regular hairstyle.

The next song Show Me Show Me~~ a brand new song!
My guess would be that the title will be 'Show Me'
It was a song where 'Show me show me' kept repeating~
Listen to the Show me Show me~ It was an amazing song
The part where the girls had JeTi in the middle and circled around them while dancing was really memorable.
JeTi's english narration was also good too.
This one was also lipsyncing!

The next song was 'So Nyuh Shi Dae'! I was so surprised when the fireworks went off. Really surprise! haha
Passing on this one since it was the usual. This one was also lipsynced.

The video that came on after was a cowboy clip with guns going off. Bang! Bang! haha
And then all of a sudden the intro to a song starts and the girls appeared~
YoonA, Taeyeon, SooYoung, Hyoyeon came out wearing cowboy outfits.
And in the middle of the song Hyoyeon had a short cowboy performance in the middle of the stage.
They started dancing a different choreography in the middle and the beginning of the next song started.

------ Their outfits and hairstyles remained the same from the beginning of the concert til this point. Just that 4 of the girls threw on a cowboy vest.

Then the opening comments~
The music for the opening comments came out
saying 'Alright. Now its time to call out the girls of SNSD'
~ Attention! This is Sergeant Sica! A military type song came out and all the girls were marching and saluting haha
"Hello~ I'm Sergeant Sic! Jessica~"
and then the next one
Who's next? This is YoonA. Crocodile Yoong~ And YoonA appeared with a shy smile on her face.
Then the next one said "My name is SoonGyu, Sunny!" and Sunny appeared and said in a loud voice "Thank You!"
The next comment said "I'm responsible for the average height of SNSD" with the appearance of SooYoung.
SooYoung came out and danced a dance that brought out her long legs haha and as she walked back in, she said "Hello Everyone~" haha
"There is a elementary school kid even in SNSD. Kiddo HyoYeon"
Hyoyeon appeared and all the girls were dancing to a child's folk song haha
"Call me KkapYul~" as Yuri appeared dancing and saying, "Hi I'm Yuri. Nice to see you all~"
Then "The goddess of SNSD, Seohyun!" and Seohyun appeared along with a soothing music. She really did look like a goddes!
"Call me Jackson Hwang!" and Tiffany appeared as she was dancing, constantly making the "OW!" sound haha she was cute
And finally Byun~~~ Taeyeon! haha Just like how she appeared on Entertainment Tonight hahahaha
hahaha She was dancing all lewd and sexy haha Everyone went crazy!

After the introduction, the girls started talking!
'Are you guys enjoying yourselves? Let's all take a bow at once. One, Two, Three! Hello! W're SNSD!
Yuri- So many people came!
Taeng - I know right? I was so surprised!
Yuri&Sica - Wah~ Hello! Hello! Hi, everyone on that side of the stadium!
Taeng- I'm sweating already. I don't know whether its the heating system of the heat of the fans! But the overall atmosphere is nice right?
Sooyoung- I was so nervous before I came in.
Sica- Me too~
Sooyoung- I'm a bit nervous still, now that I met you guys. Should we tell them what song we're going to sing next?
Sica- The next song is a title called 'Fantastic'~ It's a version where all 9 of us will be singing. Should we begin?
Taeng- Are you ready?!
Fans&Members- Yeah!
Taeng- Are you ready?!
Fans&Members- YEAH!!

----- End of opening comments

Fantastic! It's the title song of Mabinogi haha It was a version where all 9 of them sang. Live too
This was the beginning of where the girls started running about everywhere.
Maknae and Hyoyeon came to my side and Wow!~ They were so pretty.
They looked like dolls with their tiny faces haha
And I saw the part where Maknae was mumbling because she forgot the lyrics haha
You couldn't really tell because they had the AR playing.

Then soon after a remix version of Etude came on with new beats! Live~
This time YoonA and Sooyoung came in front of me and WOW! SO PRETTY! just flowed out of my mouth haha
And FanyFanyFanyFany T-T also came to my side T-T.. shes so pretty.
The girls looked really free at this point haha Running back and forth, pointing at the fans haha
Hyoyeon, Yuri and YoonA were just fooling around like elementary school kids hah

And Ooh-Lala! This was also a live~
SoonGyu also came running in front of me and she really did look like a perfect size haha
They were constantly pointing at the fans in the standing section and running about.
Fooling around during the narration in the middle of the song haha

And then this time was Kissing You Remix version
during Fany's "Close my eyes and kiss your lips", Taengoo blew a really deep kiss haha
And the scene that came out on Entertainment Tonight! I thought Maknae ran over and hugged Taeng but she was hugging YoonA haha
The people in front of me were blowing kisses towards Taeng also and Yoong sent her own heart signs haha

----- So the stage ended here and another video came on

Clips of practice sessions and daily lives of the girls? And things about how the girls work to have become SNSD...
Video of Taengoo during her DJing on ChinChin. SoonGyu drinking hot chocolate while listening to music.
Clips of Sica practicing for her musical and of Tiffany out shopping
video of Hyoyeon decorating a Christmas tree and of Maknae playing piano
video of Sooyoung exercising at the gym and of Yuri cooking
and also videos of YoonA walking around on the streets while taking pictures.

----- Then the video ended

'One Year Later'! They popped out all of a sudden from the bottom haha From either ends of the stage.
Onew appeared from my side of the stage.
Sica was wearing a short white dress and Onew was wearing a white tux with white dress shoes!
Then there was a slight mistake during the song then a silence.. they must have been embarassed haha
They were walking towards each other to the middle of the stage and Onew was walking so straight trying not to veer off to the side.
That was cute haha. A bit shorter than I expected~
The ending of the song they sang together and shook hands. Exiting together.

Then Tiffany appears all of a sudden!
Sitting on the steps with an umbrella..
A thought came to me. This was 'Umbrella"!!! Ohahahaooha haha
She was singing a calm, ballad version while sitting on the steps.
But then she got up all of a sudden and the song changed to the normal version!!
Holding the umbrella!! Tearing off the outer jacket that she had on!!!
Short onepiece style, silver shining dress.. So short and revealing T-T
But she was so sexy! Her voice and everything.. the song was so nice
Her dancing was so sexy too! The backdancers were all wearing black~
When they were dancing with each other Woah! It's rainging~ Oooo Baby! It's raining~
As that part came on, she walked onto the middle of the stages. And then she sat down on the stage at the end of the song just like she does for Genie.
Her hairstyle was the long-haired Cleopatra hair~

Then the spotlights moved and Taengoo's solo!
Pussycat Doll's Hush Hush!
A pink jacket with support at the shoulders? haha
She was wearing leather pants. And the shirt was a bit short and was revealing her stomach.
Her waist was so sexy. And the best part was..
Her dance with the backdancer.. the amount of skinship!! They were so close to each other and dancing while touching haha
I panicked watching this hahaha And the EXPLOSION of Taeng's vocal!
She was soooo good at singing. Oh and she came up on the extended stage too!
And her hairstyle was a tied up style of her curly hair~

The next performance was YoonA's 'Introduce me to a nice person' Solo stage!
She was wearing a white wedding dress! With long-hair~
Super Junior's Eunhyuk and ShinDong featured in the performance haha
And most of this performance took place on the extended stages haha
But the only thing was that she wasn't loud enough T-T
There was a dialogue in the middle of the song. I could hear Super Junior really well but Yoong was so quite T-T
They were pointing at the fans saying, "This guy? That guy?"
And at the end ShinDong ran on stage with a random child haha
Saying, "It's this guy!"
The kid had the same hairstyle as ShinDong, it was so cute! haha

Then Sunny's solo performance~ She sang a song with the same title as her name. 'Sunny'. A dance version of it~
She was wearing an outfit where the top was a white tanktop with a black midriff section and the striped black and white skirt.
The most surprising part was when she came onto the extended stage and with the help of a backdancer she did a backflip!
That went well and the hairstyle was same as the beginning haha

----- Then another video clip

When this video began, I thought I was watching Iris or something haha
YoonA was driving a red sportcar and Seohyun was in the middle of a Kendo match
Yuri was a boxer and Fany was a sniper haha I thought she was a killer at first and was surprise haha
These four came on the video and along with the subtitle 'Tough Angels'

------

All of a sudden girls wearing black outfits were singing Chocolate Love haha
You can just think of their outfit as similar to the white one from the beginning just without the fur haha
This time Fany and Taeng had tied up their hair~ The dance for Chocolate Love is so pretty haha

And surprisingly Destiny was the next song!
I was wondering whether or not they were going to perform that but I guess they did haha Everyone was surprised.
This song's choreography seemed to have a lot of waves haha
In the middle of the song, there was a part where Hyoyeon, Yuri and YoonA were dancing! Just like how the song is seductive
their dance seemed to seduce me haha

----- And another video!

Jessica's diary~ It was about the fans with the giant cameras haha
About how they always take pictures. Wondering where they upload the faces, voices and pictures of the girls.
Saying, "If you see me, say, 'Sica~ I'm here~'"
Seohyun played the role of the fan with the camera haha
And then Yuri's diary~ This was about the infamous Yuri fans vs Sunny fans battle haha
"Yuri-yah!!! Sunny-yah!!!! Yuri-yah!!!!!! Sunny-yah!!!!!"
They acted out each other's fan groups haha
They appeared in the video with short hair cuts and Yuri really did look handsome;
When they said that she looked like Kang Dongwon when she has short hair wasn't a lie.. haha
And about an incident where a fan came burst through the security officials screaming,
"Yuri-yah!!! Yuri-yah!!!!! I'm going to the army!!!! Yuri-yah!!!!"
The person who played the role of the security officer was Taengoo hahah
Saying things like "You are going to be loved at the army for your loud voice. Our fans are famous for their loudness"
And then YoonA's diary~ From when she was busy filming for the drama and the girls had to go to JeJuDo,
some older lady greeted them brightly saying, "Aigo! What brings you all the way to JeJuDo?"
Hyoyeon was standing by her side and said, "Yea! She's Saebyuk! She's Saebyuk!"
but the older lady replied, "Who's Saebyuk? I don't know who that is.. I just greeted you because you were pretty and I thought you guys were celebrities, I guess I was right.
If you are, then give me an autograph~"
The role of the older lady in the film was played by Sica hahaha
At this point in the video, I almost died from laughing when I saw Yoong and Hyoyeon doing their little neck dance hahaha
"Ahjumma, I'm SNSD's YoonA. I am a celebrity. I hope you'll recognize me the next time we meet~" was the ending of YoonA's diary.
And then Taeyeon's diary~
"We went to a special stage today~ None other than the most dependable group of Soshi fans, the army"
They screamed, "I love you Yuri, Seohyun and YoonA~ aigoo... they all like other members.. Where are my fans~~"
"I love Taengoo more than my mom~~"
And then she repeated what Psy had said before haha
'Soldiers have three things that they pledge their loyalty to when they get up in the mornings.
First is the country, the second is for the government and the third is SNSD~ hahaha'
In this part of the video, YoonA, Tiffany and Sooyoung played the roles of the soldiers haha
All three of them had a shaved hairstyle and wearing military outfits
Fany had a thick eyebrowse make up on and that was so cute haha
They were all calling out their own names haha
I was surprised at how loud their voices were hah

The pictures that were released earlier were for this film~

------

Then the performance started again with 'Honey'~ sorta of a remix version?
This was live
They were all sitting on the steps wearing red dresses~ Complete Christmas feeling haha
Fany's hair looked like a sheep's and Taeng had her hair tied up while Yoong and Syoong had long hair
Everyone got nervous at Yuri's part and started fooling around hahaha
Heheheh~ I can't remember anything from that perf. Good job today though!

Then right after, 'Merry Go Around' T-T
Getting to hear my favorite song live T-T
I was so happy haha
I always get butterflies whenever I listen to that song

Then right away they sang 'Dear Mom'
Hyoyeon, Yuri, Sunny and YoonA sang while standing on the left side of the stairs
and the rest of the girls sang sitting down haha
But Yuri was shined so brightly with the spotlights that whenever she was shown on the big screen, I couldn't stop laughing haha
And in the middle of the song, they showed pictures of moms
Tiffany must have gotten emotional while singing and couldn't finish the song.
Sica was also getting teary-eyed... Everyone was yelling out, "Don't cry! Don't cry!" ^^;
They weren't crying a lot but just a little teary-eyed~

Then next! This time!! None other than Beethoven Virus OST
'Love comes on a Melody'~
I never thought they would sing this song T-T I love this one too haha
Taeyeon, Fany, Sica, Seohyun and Sunny sang with standing mics~
The beginning of the clips for this song began with children in a white house~
The rest of the girls appeared in the middle of the song on kickboards and threw flower petals at the audience
But YoonA and Sooyoung's boards crashed in the middle haha
Then they started fooling around again by kicking over all the kickboards and making it seem like a giant accident haha

Then 'My Child'!
This time the same white background that was on for 'Love comes on a Melody' popped out haha
Hyoyeon, Sooyoung and YoonA~ Hyoyeon was sleeping with her head on a book and Sooyoung was up against the wall haha
And the background was all fairy land background~

The best of the best! The fans in section C and D must have fainted!! haha

Yuri's solo dance was... wow.. haha
I can dare say that Yuri's solo was the best

And Amber featured as a rapper haha
When Amber screamed out "Scream!!" that was so cute~
She seemed really excited haha

And last but not least, Hyoyeon's solo!!!
She was dancing to a remix version of Genie... she's just amazing at dancing. She danced hard enough to make it seem as if she'll break her bones haha
She was wearing a hiphop style hat, baseball jacket and a shiny-decorated jeans and danced on the steps of the stage.
She was dancing the robot and her Popping was just jjang.
No one can follow Hyoyeon at dancing.. I was just in awe throughout the whole perf haha

Then the girls in charge of the dancing in SNSD came out and had a dance battle~ I wasn't sure what the song was haha

The song started with 'One! Two! Three! Four!' that part was memorable.
YoonA was the first one to appear wearing a red jumpsuit? The ones people wear while working haha She was dancing with that outfit on
By this time she had removed her long hair extensions and had tied the front of her short hair haha
And Sooyoung and Yuri appeared! Sooyoung was also dressed like YoonA

Yuri had the jumpsuit tied around her waist, wearing just a tanktop
Hyoyeon came on the stage last and was wearing her jumpsuit the way Yuri was wearing her's.

----- Then another video

Taeyeon Jessica Tiffany Sunny Yuri Hyoyeon Seohyun Sooyoung YoonA

A song with this lyric as well as lyrics praising the girls was playing haha
I thought it was a song made by the fans but I was wrong haha
A video of the girls was playing along with the song. Clips of them putting on make up and clothes
Then a clip of the on a fashion show runway wearing black outfits.
The pictures for this clip was released prior along with the diary pictures and were thought to be teasers for their 2nd album but they were used at the concert haha

-----

And the sudden surprise of 'Into the New World'
I was thinking that they were going to keep 'Into the New World' as their last song but they proved me wrong haha
Their outfits were baseball jackets with white sleeves and a pink midsection. But the jacket was really really short in the midriff area hahaha
They were wearing white teeshirts on the inside~ On the left side of the jacket was a capital G embroidered haha
Fany's hairstyle for this performance was two ponytails on either side and Taeng had a wavy hair style haha
Sica also had two ponytails but I guess something was wrong with the sound system
because Taeyeon's voiced in the beginning sounded like she had just inhale helium haha
I thought it was an event but that wasn't it haha
The highlight part was 'I'll give it to you~~~' then song sending chills down my spine haha

And the next song. This is also a newly released?
The title would probably be 'Let's Smile' or maybe 'Be Happy' Ahah! I might be 'Be Happy' haha
Something this, something that, laugh laugh~ Don't say anything, just laugh~
A song similar to the HaHaHa song haha This song was really bright too~ a song perfect for a follow up on a title song~
The girls were once again busy running around on the stage~ Taeyeon ran over to my side and wow... she had a tiny and was really pretty
And this song had a small part where Yuri was rapping hahaha

Then as soon as that song was over, Himnae!
The girls' had rosy cheeks from running around by this and and I couldn't stop laughing haha
But they never got tired and kept running hha
At the part where Fany and Sica were singing together, the girls gathered at the back of the stage while holding hands and suddenly ran forward onto the extended stage! They seemed so happy haha
They were constantly trying to get the fans to fire up~

Then right after, 'Gee' started haha
Being a solo concert, I thought I was seeing the soldiers singing 'Gee Gee Gee Gee!' those rough voices! haha
"Listen Soneeees~" Fany's lively voice haha
"My Angel~ And my Sone~"
They started singing the first verse facing the front on the extended stage and sang the second verse while facing the 2~5 sections

In the middle of the second verse they sang while facing the 12~15 sections haha
Everyone was jumping from excitement

Then they sang 'Touch The Sky' from the 'To find my son OST'
Screaming out "Are you having fun? Let's sing together~" in the middle of the song
A few of them were getting teary-eyed again
At the end, Taeyeon said, "Everyone~ Are you having fun? There are so many fans here today, Thanks for coming~ Thank You~"
After that comment the girls walked towards the back of the stage haha
Some of the telling the other ones to hurry up haha
They were trying to create an atmosphere of a fake ending by saying things like, "Be careful on your way home~"
But the Sones are too smart to be tricked by this kind of comments haha

As everyone started screaming "Encore" from the top of their lungs, a video of the girls wearing the white outfits from the beginning of the concert came on as an ending video. Along with the girls' names
But we just kept screaming "Encore"~~ haha

As we were screaming, all of a sudden!
Dun Dun Dun~~ and 'Naengmyun' started playing!
I was looking to see if Park Myungsoo came but he wasn't there haha

I was trying to imagine what it would be like just with the girls but they completely exceeded my expectation haha
Yuri, Sunny, Taeyeon and Seohyun were roaming about on the second floor lifts

And the rest of the girls were running around the stage as if they owned it
Listening to 'Naengmyun' in the winter gave a completely different feeling haha
The funny part was when Sooyoung was singing Myungsoo's part

And she suddenly hugs Fany and sang "Heya! Heya! Fire! Fire! You believe oppa right?~" haha
And Fany singing "Yeaya! Yeaya! Warning! Warning! No! No!" her gestures were so cute, I couldn't stop smiling
The outfits of the girls were white short sleeved shirts with jeans.

The white shirt was the SPAO ones where they had their own characters drawn on them haha

Then a different HaHaHa Song!
I didn't even imagine that they were going to sing this song haha
The girls were throwing paper airplanes haha
YoonA and Fany were dancing just as the lyrics said and I started laughing again after seeing that haha
They were so cute
Their fan service was getting better and better haha
Spraying water and throwing flower petals haha

And I saw Fany messing up with spraying the water and accidentally dumping it on a person haha
The other girls were so good at it

At this point the girls were really excited and running around everyone!!
And in the middle Sica just openly states, "I forgot the lyrics!" haha
The girls were wearing Ugg boots
Seohyun was wearing a dark green, Sunny and Sooyoung were wearing purple, YoonA was wearing blue, Yuri was wearing a grey one
Sica and Fany were wearing pink ones and Taeyeon was wearing a sky blue one and I can't seem to remember what color Hyoyeon had on...
Fany was in the middle holding light sticks that the fans handed to her and was running around holding them haha

It seemed as if Fany and Yuri were the best at fan service! Oh and YoonA too!

The song came to an end and the girls said things like, "It's a sea of pink~ Are you having fun? How did you guys get here~"
Then Taeyeon's statement was the best
"Everyone~ You're hot right? You're hot right?! Our feet are sweating~ haha"

When she said, "You're hot right?" twice, I thought they were going to sing 'Let's Dance' haha
but saying, "Our feet are sweating" hahaha
Fany threw her arms over Taeyeon's shoulder and said while smiling, "Why did you tell them that~"

And Taeyeon started bowing in apologies and Fany started bowing alongside her haha
When Sooyoung said, "Why did they give us Ugg boots~ They could have sent us on stage barefoot" was epic haha
Then Taeyeon went on to say, "I'm so happy about the unexpected number of fans and the really loud cheers. Thanks for all your love and support" haha
"If there is a beginning, there must be an end right? This is reallly the last song~"
but Sooyoung went ahead and spoiled it by saying, "We might come out again if you call us~" haha
Taeyeon went ahead with the real finishing comment of, "Since we had you all excited and jumping, now we'll try to calm you guys down."
"Should we all create an emotional atmosphere then? We'll be singing 'Complete'~"
I was thinking, 'The really emotional part is going to start now' haha

The anticipated 'Complete'!
They were all singing calmly then all of a sudden the girls gathered in a circle in the middle and it seemed as if they were praying.
Then when the music started up again, Sunny was crying and the other girls were trying to cheer her up..
Then getting emotional again at the climax of the song T-T
All of the girls were teary-eyed...
At the end they all went back to the main stage and lined up to bow to the audience.
When they started walking back in, Yuri started to cry and Sooyoung led her off the stage while trying to calm her down

But we started screaming "Encore" again after listening to what Sooyoung had said~
Then all of a sudden "Baby~ Baby~ Baby~" started blasting in the stadium haha
The real last song, 'Baby Baby'~ Baby Baby!
The girls seemed really free on this song too. Running about everywhere on the stage haha
Taeyeon and Sunny were running around together and Taeng kissed Sunny on the cheeks as if she was trying to cheer her up haha
Fany and Sica got emotional again and their faces turned red..
And Taeyeon was running around in the middle of the stage by herself and let off one of her Taeng adlibs in the middle of the extended stage~
At the end the girls called the staff and the dancers up on the stage to say goodbye together
but Yuri and Fany were still off at the other end of the stage and Taeyeon was calling out to them to hurry up! haha
And seeing Fany and Yuri running across listening to Taeng haha
And running around to either ends of the stage shaking people's hands
Yuri and Sica would not let go of each other's hands haha
And YoonA was running with a light up hairband, from who knows where she got it haha
On the left end of the extended stage, the girls were taking pictures with the staff members
and when Fany saw this she ran over next to Taeyeon but the flash went off before she got there
Fany's angry face was so cute haha
Then they really gathered at the main stage to say their real goodbyes~ Thanks~ thank you~ haha
Sica with her arm over Yuri's shoulder made me think of Sergeant Sic once again haha
Thanks to all the fans from far overseas~ Thank you Thank you~ over and over again
Then running around on the stage once more haha
All of the girls were gathered on the main stage except Yuri and Sica.
So the girls were yelling out, "Tardy! Tardy!" and urging them to hurry up haha
They said their last goodbye, with a loud "Thank You~" haha

"One, two, three~ Thank You!"
"Bye bye~ Bye bye~"
"Be careful on your way home"
"We're really done! Annyeong~"
"It's really cold outside, everyone is going to catch a cold"
"You'll be back next time right? Promise~"
"I won't mess up on the choreography tomorrow so come again tomorrow!"
"Did you have fun?! aigoo~ haha"
The girls were really concerned about the fans

And finally they said along with the fans.
Right now is SNSD
From here on out is SNSD
Forever SNSD! and the concert ended~

Sica's last comment about how everyone has to be careful on their way home haha

When the girls were getting off the stage, Yuri had a regretful expression.
She couldn't decide whether to get off the stage of not haha
Until another member dragged her away haha


It was an amazing concert~





NYAH! FINISHED!
