Jang Keun Suk in Singapore: JKS Autograph Signing Event

Jang Keun Suk Autograph Signing Event
April 23, 2010
Garden Plaza, IMM Mall





We arrived at IMM Mall around 3pm. There were already a lot of Eels queuing and waiting for the Fan Signing. I am so happy since the venue is an open space so we will get to see the whole action. We met Clara, a fellow Filipino Eel, there. She was already sitting in front, around 4-5 rows behind the front row of the non-VIP section.

While waiting for the event to start, there were Jang Keun Suk FM merchandise sold in the entrance of Garden Plaza. Of course, we bought JKS stuffs as possibly we can (without being impulsive). I bought a JKS Cheering Set (inclusive of cheering towel, 3 button pins, and light stick), Photo Cards, and a Janggeo Paper Bag, worth SGD 55 for all items. Ate bought a unique flash drive (which we don't know how to use until now!) with JKS printed on it worth SGD 70.


Jang Keun Suk Singapore Fan Meet Merchandise


Anyhoo, before we bought all these, we happen to see a sophisticated woman roaming around the JKS merchandise table. And I remembered her as.... Jang Keun Suk's omoni!!! Thanks to Soompi where I saw a picture of her. I really don't know what to do when I saw her. I would like to have a picture with her but I don't have the courage to just barge in and invade her privacy. I was thinking that the fans might crowd her when they realize its JKS' mom. Until I realized, heck, I went this far from Philippines and this is only a once in a lifetime opportunity to have a picture with JKS' mom (at least his mom) so I have to go and ask! But... she already left for the escalator. *sigh* Our paths crossed twice and for those two brief moments she was always smiling and really looks very nice.

Let's go on with the Fan Signing event. It was already several minutes past 5pm and JKS isn't coming out yet. Worst of all, heavy rain poured breaking the lines!  Hmmmp. The venue was covered but not entirely, so those fans outside the roof are crampping us, those inside the shed. My view should have been nice but thanks to the rain! >.< Weren't able to get good pictures tuloy. O_o

At last around 5:30-5:45pm, I think, JKS arrived and the crowd went wild (including us)! OMG! He's really so handsome! Complexion is really white and his skin looks so smooth and soft. He has some gestures which are really girly but my Ate said, it's kinda normal to Korean guys. I second the motion. But that makes him look more classy and cute! Anyway, there was a small interview done, then he went on to the Fan Sign. He was trying his best to speak in English, thankfully. Apparently, it was kind of hard for me to understand because of the loud rain and the cheering of fans plus the diction. I captured some good parts, though. Haha! Such as, "Kiss my ass!" Haha.. He said that jokingly to the gay-ish host that said something pervert. There were only 100 fans who got the VIP tickets and were allowed to have an authograph of JKS, the lucky, lucky, lucky people! The whole event lasted for about an hour or so with subdued rain showers.

Singapore, Second Time Around. (Day 2 of 4)

Day 2: April 23, 2010

Itinerary
  • Bedok
  • Fragrance Hotel Balestier 
  • IMM Jurong East (JKS Fan Signing)


Our day started with Arlyn's set homemade breakfast for us. We weren't able to bid goodbyes to their Dad, Ryan (their other brother), and Camille (Arlyn's BFF) since they have gone to work already when we woke up. By the way, their unit is quite big and is at the top most floor, so nice view! The unit, though, is at SGD 1,700 per month (almost PhP 60k)! Whew! Arlyn said this is the cheapest O_o

Some photo ops before we leave their unit. They sent us off at Jurong MTR Station.

We went to the other end of Singapore, Bedok, to meet Ico and Jen (Ico's fiancé) to get our Fan Meet Tickets and poster! Yay! :) They treated us in a Hawker Center. Finally, I get to eat here. This was my major frustration last time when the Hawker Centers are close due to Chinese New Year. I want to eat the authentic Singapore food, the common Singaporeans do, and that is, in Hawker Centers. Food here is a lot cheaper as well, meals start at SGD 2.00.



Anyway, I had Laksa, a Malay noodle soup with coconut milk. Not much my type though.

Laksa


Ate had Char Siew Rice. I should've ordered this instead. It was yuuummmmmmy!

Char Siew Rice, SGD 2.


Ico and Jen had Fried Prawn Hokkien Mie. Two thumbs up as well!

For dessert, I bought Ice Kachang for SGD 1.50. It's like the SG version of Halo-Halo but with different ingredients. It has corn and tastes like almond jelly? Basta masarap din siya. :)

After eating, we went to Ico and Jen's flat, from HDB as well. This HDB condominium, however, is newer compared to Jurong, hence, the interiors are more updated and contemporary.



Ico and Jen's Kitchen.

We checked in first in our hotel, Fragrance Hotel Balestier, we got the room on sale for SGD 75 per day. The room and bathroom were actually small but it was clean and decent enough. They even have LCD for the TV. Plus, the receptionists are Filipinos. :)


We travelled back again to Jurong for the Fan Signing Event of Jang Keun Suk. This event is actually for the VIP ticket holders (They are the only ones allowed to have his signature!). Thank God, this is held in an open-space venue so we were still able to see him. Will blog this event in detail in a separate post. :)

After the event, we roamed around IMM mall to do some shopping. Apparently, we found nothing. Cotton On sale was tempting though, but nothing fits me. We ate dinner at the mall's Food Court and went back to Fragrance Hotel to rest and prepare for the long queue the next day.

Jang Geun Suk Singapore Fan Meet



Jang Geun Suk Singapore Fan Meet
April 24, 2010
Rock Auditorium
 

Wow! I really can't believe that we're actually going to Singapore to attend the Fan Meeting. Never in my life that I went this far in fangirling. JGS really has a special place in my heart as he is sooooooooooo adorable. I wasn't really planning to go to the SG FM, I was just dreaming then. But when I saw his FM in Taiwan and saw how he appreciated and valued his fans there, I said to myself, "I have to be in the SG FM!" I really cannot wait his Philippines FM any longer since I am not sure if he's really including Philippines in his Asian Tour.

Now, the dilemma. There was no announcement yet from the producers about the online ticketing for overseas fans. So, how am I suppose to obtain that ticket?! Thank God, Ate has friends working in SG, and really asked her to ask her friends to queue up for us. Thank God Ico (Ate's friend) was so good to be bothered by us. And come March 13, 2010, the ticket launching, Ico was able to buy us the free seating tickets (SGD 168). Wohhooooo! I'll be seeing Jang Geun Suk in more than a month from now! Whoooooowww! Can't wait!

P.S. There was an online ticketing by the way which they announced less than a week before the Ticket Launch. Though I'd rather pursue Ico queueing there since it's safer than waiting for DatzEntertainment's confirmation (They rarely reply so I was afraid my booking will not be acknowledged at all).

GuenSukPH First Pinoy EELS Gathering


Weeeeee... It was my first time to attend such gatherings (Back in my F4 days, we only attend their concerts). It was nice to be with my fellow Jang Geun Suk fans despite my Ate and I's shyness. Haha! Hopefully, in the next meeting we'll be able to participate in the games prepared and really show how we love JGS.

GuenSukPH First Pinoy EELS Gathering

February 27, 2010
Joo Sarang Noraebang
Don Pedro St., Makati City (aka Korean Town)

I. Presentation of GeunSukPH Staff
II. Fun Games (Drawing Game, JGS Trivia Quiz, Hep Hep Hooray, Survey Monkey, Pinoy Henyo)
*Price for Pinoy Henyo was FT Island Showtime Passes
III. Roll Call on kPop fandoms
IV. Picture Taking

Prizes we brought home
: DVD copies of Baby and Me and The Case of Itaewon Murder. Since Bryan (Admin of GeunSukPH) is trying to give out all the prizes and Ate and I were really not joining in the games (we're that shy), he just gave out these DVDs for nothing. Hehe. Thanks Bryan! :)

Here's our ticket for the fan gathering and our button pin freebie :)


 
It was really overwhelming seeing die-hard fans of JGS (not only him but other Hallyu stars as well). I then realized that I'm not that of a fan at all that I don't even know JGS character names in some (actually most) of his movies and dramas. What's fresh in my memory is only Hwang Tae Kyung. Hmmm I have to do some JGS Marathon to refresh my memory. Note to self: keep in mind his character names.

We heard some news as well on YB's showing here in Philippines. Hopefully, GeunSukPH can pull a screening for us Sukkie fans. Aja aja to GeunSukPH, hope to have more fan gatherings again sometime soon! :) Oh by the way, GeunSukPH is already an official fan club recognized by ABS-CBN and recognized  by Soompi as well. Good Job guys! Keep it Up! :)

You're Beautiful (Minami Shineyo)





You're Beautiful a.k.a He's Handsome / You're Handsome
October - November 2009

Jang Geun Suk as Hwang Tae Kyung
Park Shin Hye as Go Mi Nam / Go Mi Nyu
Lee Hong Ki as Jeremy
Jung Yong Hwa as Kang Shin Woo

It's been days already since I wanted to write a blog about "You're Beautiful". But I can't seem to start because I just can't stop singing A.N.Jell's songs endlessly and stare and drool at Jang Geun Suk's uber cute face..

You're Beautiful is the most recent romantic comedy drama of Jang Geun Suk (Hwang Tae Kyung), portraying as the leader of A.N.Jell band. The drama is all about getting the backstage access in a pop idol group, A.N.Jell, how idols live their life outside of the limelight. For the synopsis, you can just read it here.

I don't know but the cold hearted-stiff-guy showing a soft-spot and random comedic acts really sells to me. Cliché already, right? But I just can't get enough of it! Hwang Tae Kyung is just oohhhh so lovable and really pairs up well with Go Mi Nam! Super Kilig! I have no more words to describe it, it would be best if you, yourself, watch it! I know it will melt your hearts out. Enjoy! ;)

Note: Jang Geun Suk's adorable face etched in my heart and mind ♥ ♥ ♥
