Lee Minho LIVE in Hong Kong 2015!

My dream came true! Got to fly to Hong Kong to catch my favourite Minho-si LIVE in Concert! Gosh, I didn't think I will have the chance to watch his concert since his S'pore concert was cancelled. I was utterly disappointed & was depressed for a week. :( I thought his last leg of RE:MINHO @ Seoul will be the last concert. I was elated when his Encore concert @Hong Kong was confirmed! & happier when fellow Minoz, Jasmine offered to go with me if I wanted to go. :D I tell ya, this must be the craziest thing I've done so far, flying to another country just to catch my idol in concert! Haha! Sometimes, we just have to do something crazy to release ourselves! ;) 

At the start of the concert when Minho appeared on stage & sang "Painful Love", I just went hysterical! I couldn't believe that I was watching him LIVE! :D He was really tall & handsome! And playful & sporting when playing games with fans. I Heart him! 

Though Jasmine & I didn't win the Hi-Touch invite to see Hi Five with Minho (She got the invite at his Seoul concert, lucky girl she is!), I was still happy overall. I'm a happy girl! :D

 Jasmine bought her pro camera & took these well taken photos! So Clear! 

谢霆锋 - 锋味 《十二道锋味》主题曲

最近和妈妈一起在追看都会台播放的【十二道峰味】。特别喜欢谢霆锋唱的主题曲“峰味”！喜还那简单的歌词，吉他摇滚的旋律。I like the positive energy in the song! :) 听了整个人就会很有劲！

CNY catch up!

 Happy to catch up with Bee Kim together with my poly mates. Time flies, we have known each other for like almost 20 years! OMG! Happy that Bee Kim is happily married with two lovely kiddos. 

 My Bella! & Prof, his italian hubby! I'm blessed to get to know her @ Starhub. She's one of my few working colleagues who has become my buddy. :) I miss our times @ our cosy Programme Library @ Starhub. I'm happy for her that she has found her true happiness also. :)  Hmnn...by God's Grace, I hope to find mine soon.

 Ok, Violet-san took this wefie while on our way to church early morning. :D Amongst my poly mates, I'm closer to Violet-san & Bee Kim. We can talk almost anything under the sun. I really thank God for blessing me with such good friends! 

 Precious group photo taken with Bee Kim & her family. Oh isn't her two boys lovely! :D I wanna have a brood like them too! :D 

 Taking wefie again on our way to Bee Kim's sis' place. ;D Violet-san is so good @ taking wefies, selfies. haha! Good photographer, she is! 把我拍的瘦瘦的。 呵呵！

After our massage pampering session, Violet-san & I headed for lunch. Darn hungry!

 元宵，与好友芷芸和妈妈一起共用晚餐。

This year CNY was extra special coz 3 of my buddies came back to S'pore to spend this festive occasion to spend with family and friends. I was so elated to catch up with each of them! :) 

First to catch up with was Bella. She was back with her Italian hubby, nicknamed "Professor". :D We met up to have dinner @ Genki Sushi. Everytime Bella is back to S'pore, we will meet up without fail. How I miss our working times together @ Starhub! I hope & pray to be able to visit her @ Italy soon! ;) She will be back again on August.

Second to catch up with was dear Violet-san. She was back from Taiwan for 2 weeks & stayed over @ my place. Had a blessed time out with her - We went CNY church service together, had a pampering massage session together & an enjoyable 元宵 dinner together with my mum. She has flew back to Taiwan and will be back again on May to attend her bro's ROM. Violet asked me to visit her @ Taiwan. :)

Last but not least, its my dear friend, Bee Kim who's back from England with her hubby & two cutie sons! Thank God this time round, we were able to see her boys! :D Especially me & Kexin who are sooo looking forward to see them. Haha! We went over to Bee Kim's sis' place on the 5th day of CNY 初五. Though a mother a two, Bee Kim still looks so lovely & slim as ever! So, so envious of her! :) Though it was a few hours gathering, we managed to take quite a few photos together. Hmnnn...I hope to be to visit Bee Kim @England soon too. 

Gosh,perhaps I should embark on a year's journey like the author in Eat, Pray, Love. I will go to 3 countries also - England, Italy, Taiwan. ;) Dream come true! 

Gangnam 1970

Minho's character, Kim Jongdae family portrait with his foster father & sister & family friend. Minho looks good even in simple attire. :) 

 The crucial gang fight scene. It took 1 week to shoot this scene! Gosh! 

 Gangnam 1970 Movie Poster. Look @ those intense eyes of Minho! He can really act especially with his eyes. :)

A very manly Minho as Korean Mafia, Kim Jongdae. Looks like the Korean version of "Godfather". :D Suddenly made me wanna watch the Hollywood Classic. Maybe I should? Ahh...Al Pacino!

The much awaited Korean Gangster Noir Film "Gangnam 1970" starring Lee Minho & Kim Rae Won has finally opened in theatres in Singapore on 29 January! I caught the movie with a fellow Minoz whom I got to know recently @ Vivocity GV. The movie was rated R21, uncensored. Wow, this was actually my 1st Adult Rated movie. Haha! & it had to be Minho's 1st movie as lead. :O

The movie as expected, was an intense one. It was quite hard to digest with the graphic violence & 3 sex scenes ( & I mean raw graphic sex scene). 1 of the sex scenes being Kim Rae Won & his girlfriend (Who was his mafia boss' mistress). I must say WOW to KRW's hot bod. hahaa! A pity Minho's sex scene with the madam was edited out. I was so looking forward for it, especially wanna see Minho's hot bod too! （色色的我。哈哈！）

But the thing about Korean films & other foreign films who focused on storytelling & realistic action are better as compared to Hollywood films which paid attention to more of the special effects. 

Overall, I find the movie didn't really had time to build up the two main characters - Kim Jong Dae (Lee Minho) & Baek Yong-ki (Kim Rae Won). It focused mainly on the violence. Though I know its a gangster noir film but the story plot should be able to written better. Maybe I should watch the Hollywood Classic "The Godfather" to compare the difference between Hollywood gangster noir film & korean gangster noir film. 

Frankly speaking, if its not for supporting Minho, I probably will not catch "Gangnam 1970" @ all as Gangster Noir films not really to my liking. Too much violence made me yawned quite a few times. :P

& the ending, as expected, (as Minho said that its a tragedy) my guess was correct - both Jong Dae & Yong-ki died, a violent one. The only difference is that one of a quick death, the other of a slow death. 

I'm amazed of Minho's choice of this particular movie, coz' its like a 180 degree change of image! But what I like about Minho is that he's always up to taking challenging roles. I hope this will be his breakthrough role especially into the movies! More better roles for him! 

Two of my friends commented that they find that Lee Minho doesn't look like a gangster @ all in the movie, as compared to Kim Rae Won. :( & both said that KRW acted better. Its so unfair to compare when they didn't watch the movie @ all! & both coincidentally are KRW's fans. I personally find that Minho & KRW' had great chemistry on-screen & off-screen. :) & I that they enhanced each other's acting in the movie. 

Oh well, everybody is subject to their own opinion but its important to respect others' likes. Be more sensitive to others.
