19th: Visa Came Lately, Spending the Night at the Airport

We had originally planned to fly to Shanghai on 19th,
and then fly to Seoul on 20th morning...
But only got the visa on 19th afternoon around 2pm or so...
Other than saying that's really scary...
no other words could describe how it felt...
Arrived at Shanghai at 11-something in the night,
there're no more rooms at the airport hotel in Shanghai
so KaKa and I spent the night at the airport,
just like those homeless people sleeping under the bridges...
Hyun Joong-arh, don't you think it's really tough and hard for us to go see you just one time...?
But the things that happened over the next few days...
made me feel that everything's really worth it...

*bb: in case you didn't know, travelling free & easy ain't so fuss-free for chinese fans
they would need a whole lot of documents and stuff before their visas can be approved.
generally, you need to prove that you've got money or property,
or got a job that pays so well you won't stay in korea and not go back home ^^
(believe the application for a visa even involve submitting your bank statements,
property deeds, letter from the employer... etc)




20th: Filming the Ending Kiss at Ilsan

Reached Seoul at 10-plus
Went in circles at the airport at a long time before we eventually got onto the subway...
But ended up taking the wrong direction...
Had to U-turn and suffered thus...
Got to DouDou's place only in the afternoon...
There's a mad dog at DouDou's place
We gave it a nice name of The Little Moonie amongst the Dogs
Though we're already back home now, our impression of the dog remains very deep...
Okie, let's not talk about the dog, let's talk about Hyun Joong instead.
Received info... Hyun Joong would be filming the last scene at Ilsan that night...
So we had dinner, and travelled a long way to Ilsan...

Hyun Joong's van drove out from the carpark of one of the buildings at MBC
After going a few rounds, it went right into the park..
The vehicle stopped, and we all ran over with the gift that KaKa had prepared for Hyun Joong...
At that time, Cody Noona was going through Hyun Joong's costume at the boot...
From the gap through the boot, I saw someone sitting inside the car...
Aiya... Little yellow head... That's right, that's Hyun Joong...
I said to Kaka excitedly, "I see Hyun Joog..."
Kaka, too, got excited... 
During this time, the manager started to walk over...
DouDou passed the gift to him, said that's our gift for Hyun Joong...
The manager accepted the gift and walked towards the vehicle...
We emphasized to him that the gift's wine, it's Chinese wine...
The manager stared at the gift intently, 
and then got into the car to pass the gift to Hyun Joong.

We watched Hyun Joong through the window...
He seemed to be memorizing his lines in the script...
Was reading intently and seriously...
Didn't even noticed us standing outside the vehicle...
After some minutes, Cody noona too got into the car...
The drapes were the drawn...
The manager told us Hyun Joong needed to change and also do his makeup,
so please do not disturb...
So we stood and wait obediently somewhere about 200 metres away....

Some ten over minutes later, Hyun Joong got out from the car...
Really handsome... He walked towards us,
and when he was in front of us, I shouted out, "Hyun Joong" in Mandarin.
He looked at us, nodded and smiled...
Actually I usually yelled out his name in Korean,
but had used Mandarin this time 
so that he knew we're the ones who had just given him the Chinese wine.
He walked towards the park... and we just followed behind him...

Got to the set...
The crew started to set up the set and carry out other preparation work...
The entire team was so busy with stuff...
But in my eyes, I could see only Hyun Joong...
And he was the only one glowing...
We were really obedient and good... Just watching him film quietly...
He's really 4D and funny... He would break into laughter himself whilst filming..
especially during the kissing scenes... he would break into bouts of laughing fits...
We too laughed along with him whenever he laughed...
He turned and saw us laughing at him, and he would, in turn, laugh even more loudly...

There was a break in between filming... 
He ran out of the car and started practising some dance moves...
So cute I could die...
Just like that, from 10pm to 1am, we accompanied him, watching him quietly as he filmed.
Gotta compliment DouDou at this point...
Whilst Hyun Joong was filming, DouDou was writing out the letter to Hyun Joong in Korean...
When the filming was completed, Hyun Joong bowed to the PD and also the crew...
What a well-mannered kid...
And then we too passed our letter to Hyun Joong...

Saw Hyun Joong on our first day to Seoul...
By right we should be so excited we shouldn't even be sleeping...
but we were really way too tired, and fell asleep on DouDou's bed...


21st: FM + Hyun Joong Gave Treat

Arrived at the children's park in the afternoon...
There're a lot of Hyun Joong's banners being hung everywhere... posters...
and also the support items from the various fansites...
The Korean fans were all happy to hear that we came from China...
And that pretty Korean fan unnie... the flowers that she had helped us arrange were nice too...
I was so excited that I took pics of all of them...
And I also left a message for Hyun Joong:
Hyun, you're the best...
We're waiting for you in China.

Got my admission ticket...
Very lucky.... my seat was in the middle section of the seventh row...
I reckon out of the 2000 seats, other than the five rows reserved for staff,
only some 30-40 people had better seats than I did...
Here, gotta thank our dear club head for giving me the ticket...

At the start of the FM, Hyun Joong appeared like a prince before my eyes...
Sooooo... touched... that the lightboard we'd used to support Hyun Joong
from Shanghai, Hong Kong and Korea was the biggest amongst all that night...
So we appeared on the big screen quite a few times...
Hyun Joong too kept looking at our lightboard...
Coz photo-taking was not allowed inside, I only sneaked a few pics...
And there were actually two pics that Hyun Joong was looking directly at our lightboard...
Hyun Joong was very lively and was joking quite a bit...
Even though he knew that the lucky draw box was too high,
but he had purposely asked the emcee to help him draw...
Aigoo, he shouldn't be teasing and making fun of people like that... 
You, weirdo...

Later, when everyone's watching the last episode of the PK drama,
Hyun Joong was just sitting some 10 metres from me...
So whilst everyone's watching the big screen,
I was looking at Hyun Joong the other time, like some love-crazed girl...
I reckon I must have looked quite a sight then....

After the FM ended, heard that Hyun Jong wanted to give the staff and cast a treat...
so we too followed them to the restaurant...
Went into the restaurant following Hyun Joong's back...
Hyun Joong even turned around to look at us strangely...
Coz we had written in the letter we had given to Hyun Joong on the first day,
"Heard you're gonna be giving a treat tomorrow,
why not treat us too...?"
Was he thinking we were really there to ask him for a treat...? hahahaha...

Hyun Joong and company had booked the entire upper level, 
so we could only sit and eat at the ground level near the staircase.
The dancers arrived when we were ordering...
I waved to Jae Yong happily and he too waved back at us...
This was also a polite kid...
Later, Juri, Min-Ah... little Eun Jo and Lee Tae Seung all came downstairs at some point,
and we went up to chat... they were all friendly...
Juri and Lee Tae Sung signed (autograph) for me too...

Later, the crew and some of the cast were leaving progressively...
We had a feeling Hyun Joong too was going to leave...
so we just kept watching the staircase...
Not too long, we saw Baek Junior and little Baek Junior come downstairs...
Hyun Joong seemed to be sending Eun Jo off...
The two brothers seem really close.
Hyun Joong was hugging Eun Jo from behind as they made their way down the stairs,
one step at a time...
I picked up the photo and pen and rushed right over...
I continued to shout in Mandarin, "Hyung Joong..."
and tried to pass him the photo and pen, but was stopped by the manager...
Hyun Joong just looked at me and smiled... not daring to sigh...

At this point, Kaka and the two Japanese fans came over too....
What happened between Hyun Joong and them, I'm not sure
(please refer to Kaka's FA)
I was 'struggling' with the manager all this time,
cajoling him in a aegyo voice, "OPPA OPPA OPPA OPPA...."
it's really sad, other than my papa and mama,
I'd never done this to anyone else...
The manager really didn't give me any 'face' at all... T_T
Eun Jo left, and Hyun Joong went back upstairs...

Later, Jae Yong and the other two dancers came down...
Sorry, I really don't know the names of the other dancers,
so I went up to them to strike up a conversation...
I said, "Jae Yong oppa..."
He said, "En..?" and then smiled at me.
I asked him in Korean, "We'd met in Hong Kong... do you remember me?"
He replied in English, "Of course..."
I continued in Korean, "You're really goodlooking..."
He continued in English, "Thank you."
This was the somewhat mad conversation between the two of us...
I then said I wanted another picture with him...
He agreed happily. One of his hand was on my shoulder,
and his other hand grabbed the other two dancers...
So the four of us posed with the 'V' sign!
After that, I said to him, "YOU ARE SUPER DANCER.."
They all laughed happily, hahahaha...

Seems like a long time later, the bodyguard/s appeared, 
and then Hyun Joong came downstairs and prepared to go home...
When he came down, he kept smiling at us rather foolishly, 
"Hehehe.... hehehe..."
Guess they must have had a mighty good drinking session...
So this day, we too had a great and complete day...
although the autograph that didn't happen became the only pain (regret) in this entire day...


22nd: Catwalk & Wrap-up Party

Arrived late on the day of the fashion show...
Had thought that Hyun Joong would be modelling on the catwalk
so I kept looking out for Hyun Joong on the big screen,
but he was, instead, seated at the audience...
So, I felt tragically sad for not being able to go inside the show...
There're so many cute guys at the venue...
to quote something from Xiao-Bao, "I got so excited watching them..."
I even saw a few artists... But coz Hyun Joong didn't walk the catwalk,
I didn't remain sad for too long...

That night, we too went for the MBC wrap-up party.
Like the previous night, they too booked the upper level, and we were on the ground level.
Saw the manager running up and down,
and then he saw us.
Coz he didn't allow the autograph the day before, 
so I told Kaka, "I wanna kill him with my stares..."
So i just stared at him, but he didn't weaken or cringe
and each time he came down, he would toss a few looks over at me..
However many times he came down,
that's however many times our eyes met like that..
But this time, no no no... no aegyo from me to you... Hmmmpf!

Later when the party's almost over, 
Hyun Joong showed up briefly at the foot of the staircase...
Wearing a vest... still gorgeous as usual...
but he didn't see us...
The rest of the cast all left by the front door,
We said our hellos to them, and they too greeted us back in a friendly manner...
Saw that almost everyone's gone by now, but still no sign of Hyun Joong...
Maybe there're too many fans waiting downstairs, so he took the backdoor.
Heard news that they had 'round 2', so we followed them...
But Hyun Jong didn't see us..
Don't care, so long as we saw him... hahaha...


23rd: Saw Hyun Joong and His Friends

Hyun Joong was happy and in good spirits this day...
Went out to eat with some friends...
These friends too were goodlooking... and they're nice too...
They drove Hyun Joong back home...
His friends had thought we're Japanese fans, and spoke to us in Japanese... faintz...


24th: Hyun Joong Off to Beijing

Our task today...? Shopping...


25th: Hyun Joong's Back to Seoul
Kaka and I went to the airport, but we were 10 minutes late,
and didn't get to receive him at the airport... Sadzz....


26th: SoyMilk Incident

Early morning... Kaka and I were online in the hotel...
Got a call from DouDou that she'd come out without bringing her purse.
And then she wasn't sure how to get to our hotel...
so we had arranged to wait for her at the XX supermarket
so that we could pay the cabby for her...
(*bb: me thinks it's probably a convenience store)

Kaka and I got dressed and left...
Coz the supermarket's really near, so we caught up with DouDou shortly..
Coz it was windy and cold that night, we got hungry...
So we bought things to eat from the supermarket...
I was holding a bowl of noodles, Kaka was eating some sausage,
and that DouDou had bought a lot of snacks and tidbits...
We were wary about disturbing the staff inside,
so we went outside to the side lane to eat our food...
saying to head home to sleep right after eating...

When we're done, and were in the midst of clearing our rubbish,
we heard running footsteps...
Then we saw a gorgeous guy clad in very little clothes run past...
He even uttered 'Wooahh" when he saw us...
That... wasn't that Hyun Joong...? 
OMG.... that's really Hyun Joong...
and he even "Wooahh" at us... 
What's the matter? Was he surprised that he kept seeing us these few days?

We dashed over... Hyun Joong had gone into the supermarket
Coz we were afraid of disturbing him, so we didn't go in...
Just stood outside the supermarket...
Hyun Joong was going round and round inside for quite sometime...
So we quickly got our photos... books... pen... ready for him to sign for us.
Later, Hyun Joong came out, holding a bottle of hot soymilk,
then he looked at us... and then took another two... a total of three hot soymilk...
and went to make his payment....

I went up to him the moment he came out...
This time, I used Korean to call out to him, "Hyun Joong-arh,
We're your Chinese fans..."
And then DouDou passed over the book and pen,
DouDoub said, "My friends will be going back home tomorrow,
could you please sign for us?"

I was standing right in front of Hyun Joong at this point in time...
He's really beautiful... Bare-faced without makeup...
but he still looked like he just walked out from the poster or something...

Hyun Joong took the book and pen from DouDoub, and then said something...
Seems to be English... I didn't understand what it was,
but afterwards, DouDou said he was asking if we know Korean... 
Hyun Joong signed for DouDou...

DouDou pointed to Kaka and me, "They're Chinese Mother Fans..."
Hyun Joong heard "mother fans" and abruptly raised his head to look at me...
with very surprised eyes...
We two just looked at each other like that...
I reckon Hyun Joong must be thinking I don't look like a mother...
Yea, that's right, I CC really ain't a mother,
but I'm one of the members from the mother fans' group...
I handed the photo to Hyun Joong
I told him I'm called CC...
Hyun Joong repeated, "CC..."
I said, "En... C as in ABC...."
So he signed 'TO CC'

Then it's Kaka's turn...
Hyun Joong asked Kaka what her name was...
Kaka said, "Kaka..."
Hyun Joong repeated, "Kaka..."
Then Kaka knew that Hyun Joong wasn't sure how to write that,
so she quickly spelt out, "K-A-K-A"
So Hyun Joong did a 'TO KAKA' autograph...

DouDou then brought back the book and said to Hyun Joong,
Could you sign for the China Mother Fans?"
I took out the Chinese Mother Fans' namecard and said to Hyun Joong, 
"This is our fanclub..."
Hyun Joong looked at it for awhile.. should be familiar to him...?
After all, the Chinese Mother Fans had done a few rounds of fan support already...
The fan support items all had the logo that's on the namecard...
Then Hyun Joong signed TO CHINESE MOTHER FANS in Korean.

After all the signing, Hyun Joong took out the hot soymilk from the bag
and passed one each to us..
DouDou said Thank You in Korean...
Kaka and I thanked him in English...
Then Hyun Joong said, "Go home..."
This, I understood, Hyun Joong was afraid that we might be too cold,
and was asking us to go back to the hotel.
What a thoughtful kid...

Hyun Joong headed back home,
and I used Korean to shout out, "Hyun Joong arh...!"
He turned around and I continued in Korean, "You're the best..!
He smiled, turned around and ran towards home.
He was wearing too little...
I was thinking in my heart, You too quickly go home... Don't catch a cold...

Back in the hotel, we were too excited to sleep...
Kaka was sitting infront of the computer, smiling like a fool..
I was colouring DouDou's hair...
It was only at daybreak that we felt sleepy...

So our second trip to Seoul...
it was a thoroughly and completely fulfilling trip...


27th: Returning Home

On the plane, 
Kaka and I were still smiling as we were sleeping...

Thus Kaka and I both decided, 
Kim Hyun Joong, we'll be your fans forever...
