Lee Dong Wook and Kim Sun A Meet & Greet Session

It was 6th December 2011 and I was looking forward to meet the stars of Scent of a Woman. Got two tickets for me and my sister (Thanks to OneTV and Astrolife), but nobody to take care of the little girl, Balqis. At last, my sis withdrew herself to volunteer jaga CikBal and the other ticket is sold to one lucky amoi.

 Dalam tentatif program, event tu sepatutnya bermula jam 5.30pm. So, cik abby pun terkedek-kedek la pegi Mandarin Oriental Hotel pukul 5pm. The long queue surprised me, sampai ke luar hotel, and of course I have to wait at the outside for nearly an hour before the Q started to move like, a step. Cik abby siap sempat susukan CikBal lagi kat lobby hotel sementara tu. 

Didn't expect the long Q

I have never been to this kind of event before, so I don't prepare, cuma bawak diri jek. Ada yang memang die hard fan siap bawak banner bagai. Yang penting, dapat jumpa LDW ok! Dalam pukul 6.20pm, akhirnya tibalah turn saya untuk register. Pas register, kene tunggu lagi rupanya. Nasib baik ada snacks and drinks tersedia. Kite pun mamam la dulu..

Macam selebriti la pulak

This is the lucky girl, apparently she was my partner from the beginning until the end

Kat depan stage

Jehan Miskin was the MC for the day. Before the show started, he asked three quick questions and three persons who can answer the each question respectively will get the chance to play a game with Lee Dong Wook and Kim Sun A as the judges. I am so proud (until today) that I was chosen to answer the third question correctly. I was the one at 1.55min.

Rupa-rupanya, kene menari tango depan diorang kan. Rehearsal la dengan penari tango 3-4 kali sebelum diorang masuk. Masa tengah tunggu turn nak naik pentas, menggigil lutut ni nak menari, tangan sejuk nervous punya pasal. Naik stage tetibe jek rasa confident menyelubungi diri. Terus menari tango yang move die ntah hape-hape. Cik abby tak lepaskan peluang menatap wajah hero time ni. Kalau boleh tanak berkelip langsung. For once, lupa pulak dah ada suami. Huhu.. Hah, korang tengok video ni, dengar betul-betul yang translator LDW tu cakap, "The lady in the blue, she just staring at me". (I am glad LDW noticed me!) Siyot punya Jehan cakap, "Eee tak malunya". Hahaha I don't care. Bukan selalu dapat jumpa. Ni lah masanya.. 

Tak caya dapat jumpa LDW upclose macam ni (Kim Sun A terus dilupakan). Dapat peluk! Arghhh seakan dunia ni saya yang punya.. Kim Sun A was so tall, I have to jengket kaki bila amik group photo.


Diorang siap sempat nyanyi duet lagi, lagu 'Us Again'. A sneakpeak of their song:

Tengah feeling nyanyi

Ada lagi video yang fans dah upoad kat Youtube, tapi xdapat la cik abby nak letak kat entry ni banyak-banyak. Tak caya ke LDW ni hensem, tengok sendiri kat sini, dan sini. Ada banyak lagi link, tapi dah malam dah ni, tak larat nak copy semua. Cik abby pun tak dapat nak amik banyak gambo diorang sebab saya atas stage. Sorry.. 


Haaa, ni lah die premium autographed photo signed by LDW and KSA yang hanya kami bertiga saja yang dapat. Jeng jeng jeng:

Thanks to the autographed photo, I became a 10 minutes attention. Hahaha. Pas diorang pegi jek, ramai nak amik gambo ngan cik abby. Korang yang ada amik gambo tu, kirim-kirim la kat sini ekk. Nak tengok jugak..


Last but not least, dapat goodies bag from OneTV Asia. Nomu nomu kamsahamnida!

Ada satu tertinggal, a poster which I gave to my partner

Bagi sesiapa yang nak share experience time meet & greet ni, feel free to contact me sebab saya amatlah berbesar hati untuk berkongsi. Jom sama-sama share!

I Won Tickets to Meet Lee Dong Wook!!

Tet Tet!! A message came in at 6.10pm. It was from Astrolife and it sounded like:


"Congrats! U hv won 2 tix to meet Kim Sun A & Lee Dong Wook live @ 6/12, 5.30 pm, Mandarin Oriental Hotel. Show SMS & ASTRO bill for entry".


The story began after a few days Astro launched a contest of Korean Stars Meet & Greet in conjunction for the promotion of a new Korean drama, Scent of a Woman, starring Lee Dong Wok and Kim Sun A, which is currently airing on channel 393: OneTV . It was a super easy contest, just log on to astrolife, and answer some related questions.


Well, seemed like luck was on my side. I was so excited I rolled on the floor. I never thought of winning it and never expected this chance would come to me like, so damn easy! ! There were 100 winners and I was one of them! 

Scent of a Woman

Last but not least, see you there on the 6th, Lee Dong Wook!! *shouting* 


Yahooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!

Let's Ride the Korean Wave!

The phenomenon is obvious. And it hit me hard! The full-of-onak-dan-duri drama (not to mention hero yang jambu), addictive rhythm and dance of K-Pop, fun and hilarious reality TVs and game show just make me want to fly to Seoul right away!

To begin with, I stayed at my parent’s during waktu pantang after gave birth to Balqis, and my family apparently got smacked by the wave earlier than anyone else! Pagi petang siang malam, semua korea. I think I’ve been brainwashed silently and it succeed, undeniably. I don’t know why, but it seems like the entertainment industry in Korea is, I could say, far awayyyyyyyyyyyyyy better than ours (janganlah aku kene saman).

I do not subscribe to Astro before, so I watched dramas online, or just call my mama to record it for me (diorang ada Astro PVR – tapi only boleh tengok bile balik JB, lambat sangat). Hola to KimchiDramas and Jacinda1st. Sekarang dah ada Astro, no need to watch online anymore, loading lembab (berlagak la pulak). Hahaha..

I am choosy in selecting dramas to watch. It depends on the casts – the leading actor is vital (pasal heroin aku x dulik), and the plots for sure. 49 Days was the best drama so far. Dramas that still stuck in my head are You’re Beautiful, Marry Me Mary, Baby-faced Beauty, Oh! My Lady, Lie to Me, Secret Garden, Call of the Country, My Girlfriend is a Gumiho, Heartstrings, It’s Okay Daddy’s Girl and list keep goes on and on.. I am currently tengah layan Protect the Boss and Poseidon and looking forward to watch Tree with Deep Roots.

To feed my ears, I listened to K-pop songs. Somehow they amused me with their catchy tempo, besides their signature dance that just make me want to groove. Super Junior, Big Bang, MBLaq, U-Kiss, Girl’s Generation, T-Ara, Kara, you name it, you got it. Even my little Balqis nod her head when she hears k-pop songs. Seems like I brainwashed her silently too *wink*. Inkigayo, Music Bank, Seoul Sunday, and JK Hits are my ultimate source. From there I’ll acknowledge their new single, new groups, top charters etc. My iPod and USB are always welcome for new songs. The USB I connect in the car (which I address it as Robert – mengarut btol kereta pun nak ada nama), and as the songs are played, my husband will sigh. And so I said, “You'd better listen to this, radio banyak iklan”, in a soft, manja tone (Takut gak kalau-kalau die cabut USB campak luar tingkap). Suddenly, I heard something unusual coming out from his mouth. He was humming the CN Blue’s Intuition! What a progress!

Laughter is the best medicine, so I treat myself to talk shows and entertainment programs. Gag Concert really is a stress reliever and I can guarantee it will tickle you till the very end of the show. I also follow Running Men and I won’t miss it for the world. It is the best game show on earth! To fill my emotion, I tune to Strong Heart where celebrities talked about their rough journey, but still intersect with their fun stories. Honestly, I watched the show because of Teuk Academy. Hahaha.. Suprisingly, my arrogant husband started to watch these amusing programs, and he also reminded me the time it is aired. Guess I brainwashed him well huh!!

Feed your eyes, your mouth, your ears, but let’s not forget to feed your soul, aye!! It is time for Asar prayer. Chow!!

I am ONE lucky mama!!

A few months back (I think on July), I like OneTV Asia facebook page (terpengaruh dengan iklan dlm TV). Actually OneTV is my favorite channel for the time being as I’ve been hit by the Korean wave. Huhu.. And so they held a survey (I forgot already what the survey is all about *crack head*), and I was anticipated to participate in it. The questions were quite a lot, but still I answered them with passion and sincerity (almost took me 10 minutes of my precious time). Last question, complete a slogan (is slogan a question? ~duh~).

I love to watch TV because……………………………………………………………………

Arghhhh!! I hate sentencing slogans! I should have expected this from the very beginning. Hence I seek for my sister’s help. She gave me her idea and I hesitantly wrote the slogan (knowing that there is no more honesty – this is so not me!).

3 months later, I received a suspicious email. I really thought that it was a scam and I wanted to delete it right away. Just before I click on the bin icon, I saw a word on the intro of the email ‘ONE survey Giveaway: Mailing of Prizes’ and like a lightning strike, I remembered the survey I did. I never thought that they would pick some lucky winners for their survey. Ye la, kata survey kan, tak harap ape-ape la..  Agaknye berkat jawab soalan dengan jujur kot (poyo). Hehe.. Well, seems like luck was on my side. Alhamdulillah.. Credits to my sis, klux, too for a cool yet compact slogan!

I love to watch TV because it has OneTV Asia!!

The next week, I received the prizes by post. I was very excited sampai joget-joget. Balqis yang tak tau apa-apa pun joget sama. Hahaha.. They were City Hunter and OneTV merchandises. Frankly speaking, I didn’t follow City Hunter that much. Tengok celup-celup jek. Sorry OneTV. I really didn't mean it!!

Those were just a bunch of simple stuffs that I can expect people to say, “Ek eleh, bende macam ni kalu x dapat pun aku x heran!”. Say what you wanna say, kite bukannye selalu bertuah nak dapat bende-bende free macam ni. Betol tak? Grateful is the word of the day.

Thank you OneTV Asia!!!!
