Rain's New Movie

Look at this! Muahaha!! Although critics say the movie is not good, and Rain himself said, "You have to watch this movie to see Jung Ji Hoon, not Rain.", I will go watch it!

Till now I don't really understand why he said that. Maybe I'll let you know when I've watched it.

Rain's World Tour: Singapore

I WENT I WENT I WENT!!!!!! Although it was the cheapest ticket, I could see him because my seat section is nearest the stage at the circle seats. I grabbed MOS Burger from TM and took cab down to Indoor Stadium. TM was full of people waiting for cab, so I went over Century Square and there was no queue at ALL!!! Easily, I reached the stadium around 730pm. The concert is at 8pm.



The overview of the stadium. People are slowly going in. And I saw Renfred from Campus Superstar there too!



Then I found the East entrance and there was so many people. So I queued and got into the indoor stadium.

There was sales of Rain's limited edition stuff!!! OMG! There were many people crowding around the table. Hence I decided to go toilet first. And the queue was LOOOOOOOOOOONG. After toilet, I went to grab Rain's limited edition stuff! I got his calendar, program booklet and handphone strap. Total damage to wallet = $68. I regretted not getting the cap because when I saw people wore them, it was so chio loh, with his signature at the side of the cap. There was also towel set, postcards, facial masks, notebook, pendant, POP poster, DVD... And I met this IDIOTIC guy who cut my queue. TMD. Not gentlemanly at all. That explains why he is ugly, cos' he has negative kharma. BLEAH.







8pm. People were still going in. I found my seat at 815pm after waiting to buy Rain's stuff at the stall. It was then that I realised my seat was not bad. HAHA.



View from the top. See... the stage is so near me.

830pm. Fans were shouting "Jung Ji Hoon" repeatedly. And there were cheers. It's starting, I tell myself. Heart is feeling excited.



The lights went out. ~~~~~SCREAMS~~~~~~ The backdrop fell and drums thump!! Fire sparks went up. Music came. It's the arrival of a submarine. Pyrotechnics went beaming around the whole stadium. One of the central screens lifted up, and a white life-size submarine appeared. It then "exploded" into two, sideways, and there was Rain, half-kneeling, in white overall suit and Aviator sunglasses.

~~~~~SCREAMS~~~~~~

The concert started with the song - It's Raining. Fans were cheering and screaming. The atmosphere was high; warming-up was not needed. A few songs followed with great dancing steps and perfect music-dance-action-effect timings. Effects were like the stamping of his foot in-sync with the drums and fireworks. Yes... there were REAL fireworks!! And there were lotsa them!!! OMG! It was SPECTACULAR!!!

Rain spoke in English. It was not bad, though some of the words wasn't pronounced accurately. But it was good enough to let him communicate with the audience. He teased the audience when they screamed as he attempted to take off his sunglasses. He's so cute!!!! Then there was one segment where Rain changed into Chinese Kungfu clothes and demonstrated Drunken-Fist. COOL!!! At the two sides of the stage were also long red translucent cloth that wrote "Zui Quan" in Chinese and his concert logo.



Of cos, there was RAIN. It is his famous segment of all his concerts - singing, kneeling under the rain. Rain called all of us - his babies.

All his songs were with good dance steps. The song on the two conveyor belts was quite an eye-opener. He was singing with a standing microphone studded with crystals and moving sleekly on the two contrary motion conveyor belts. Who says only Stephanie Sun has crystal-studded microphone? Rain's one is a standing microphone. More crystals than Stephanie Sun. What's the big hoo-ha about her microphone?



Back to the concert.... Then there was throwing of towels after he wiped his sweat to the audience, and a bouquet of flowers. *Meltzzz* He was holding on to his left hand at the last few songs. I could feel his hand hurt but was still performing at his best. Towards the end, Rain was saying his thank you's. I was sad it was ending. I was tearing a bit because he was so sincere in saying his thanks - thank us for supporting him, and that he will always perform his best, work hard and also his uncertainty in breaking the US market. The last song was Friends. And he stood in the central stage, got elevated up, and wings appeared on the screen behind him.



Then he kissed goodbye to all of his audience. He is so dashing, so charismatic... *meltzzzz*

Encore piece....... he was dressed in red cotton sporty overall with "Rain's World" printed at the back. It was a lively piece, ending the whole 2-hour performance.

Curtain call.

Rain once again kissed goodbye to his audience.

************************************************************************************

I hope Rain will come give a concert in Singapore again.

East entrance was nearest to the bus stop. At the bus stop, there were 3 buses waiting there! Each going to Boon Lay, Tampines, and Woodlands. WOW! Got direct bus! I didn't know SBS would do this kind of arrangement. I wonder whether it was Unusual Productions who arranged for these buses. Nonetheless, the bus journey cost $2 but brought me back home in half an hour. While waiting for the bus to depart, I saw a crowd of people outside the stadium. Then there was flashes of light from cameras. I wonder if those people are taking photos with Rain!!! Cos' there wasn't many people at the bus stop!

Rain, hope you have a good rest and all the best for your world tour. I'll support you.

Sweet dreams tonight. ^_^

Screwed

Screwed my first lesson with my form class. Didn't want to. It's all because I didn't prepare well enough. Haiz. Must put more effort from next week onwards.

I went to search for my student's blog. Enter a few keywords and you can actually find them very easily. And once you find one, you find the rest. Because they are all linked.

Note of warning: It might be demoralising to read their comments.

So well, I found one. And it was on this screwed lesson. And I realised one thing - besides giving stern faces on the first day, the first lesson is equally important. It determines the impression you give the students - whether you're a good teacher or not. And this first impression is screwed by me. I hate myself.

Everything just started wrongly. We should never NEVER NEVER be introduced as trainee teachers. ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT MAKES MY LIFE DIFFICULT.

Only You

Finished another Korean soapy before school opens! This show is quite nice. The starting is fast. But however when it gets to episode 4 onwards, the show becomes draggy. It kind of spoils the good starting. Nevertheless, it has a happy ending, so you should watch. Haha!



The second female lead (in pink) is also the second female lead who acted in Sang Doo! Let's Go To School (together with Rain). She looked prettier in Sang Doo. However her role in this show wasn't bad.

The male lead (in white) has charisma. Hoo hoo. I wonder why they always never fail to charm me. Hiak hiak.

New Year's Eve Dinner

Happy 2007!! Von, JH, CP and I met at Taka Crystal Jade Ginseng Chicken Restaurant for dinner last night. It's supposed to be Korean cuisine. The cost is not cheap, plus we needed to wait for quite a while even though we made a booking. Here's what we ate:



Ginseng chicken, seafood in spicy soup (inside there's cod fish, flower crab, scallop, prawns, golden mushrooms, udon, toufu, mussels, seaweed, Japanese fish cake) and Teriyaki chicken. SO filling loh!!! I couldn't even finish my rice. Worth to eat! Will go there again if I have the chance to!!!

After drinks at Coffee Bean, CP drove us to his condo in his white Mazda 3. At his place, we played poker where Von made a lot of stupid yet funny stunts. Then she went to watch Goong on CP's pc and the 3 of us played 3-legged majong.





JH fell asleep very quickly after we turned in. Left me and Von there doing stupid things - disturbing each other on bed. Haha... in the end she also fell asleep. But it was fun. She has her cute side.
