Back from Bangkok.

I'm safely back in the comfort of my room!

It wasn't as bad I had imagined it to be...and we got to see the Red Shirts' protest live.

I was quite amused by this big panel advertisment for a beauty clinic at the street corner of my hotel.


I recognised Kim Joon right away. But the other 2? Are they from Tmax? *shrugs*

I think kpop is very big in Thailand. I see endorsements by K artistes (official or unofficial) everywhere. When I go to shopping malls, I hear korean songs broadcasted through the sound system. And on the second day, I came across this road show selling tv sets.And yes, Korean PVs were playing (thank god no Nobody!) - Shinee and SuJu. A small group of girls gathered behind me and one even took out a Siwon uchiwa (lol she carries it everywhere?).

Not much Jpop, but on my final day, I did spot this lady, dressed in office wear, carrying a backpack with a certain Johnny boy's photo keychain hanging from the bag.

And guess who the boy is?

My darling junjun!

Oh, shopping was really cheap there. But the most no-value-for-money (it costed a total of 300 plus baht) were these.


But I had to buy them.

Promise by Park Yong Ha

Am battling against the September vox deadline but I cannot not post this. Listening to my mp3 shuffle, and this came on.

When I first heard this song, it was just another love song. But now....if you just overlook a few lines....it's like a song preparing us for days without him. The Japanese and Korean versions are very similar to each other. I was doing a check of the Korean lyrics and started singing along to the song. And within 2 lines, I started crying. I couldn't sing at all, and I sounded so bad, I had to turn up the volume to cover my embarrassing voice.

promise one  하루에 열 번 웃기로 해요
promise two 지금보다 두 배 행복하기로 해요
promise three 힘들 때도 세 번 눈물 참기로 해요
혹시 혼자 있대도 외롭다고 생각 마요
promise one Laugh 10 times each day
promise two Become 2 times as happy as you are now
promise three Even during difficult times, hold back your tears 3 times
Even if you're by yourself, don't feel lonely
