WESTLIFE Update

1st November 1999 was the day Westlife's first debut album was released worldwide.

And yes they have since 20th October 1:10am (Singapore time) officially announced that they would split after their farewell tour in 2012. How did I find out? I was about to go to sleep when I decided to check out my Facebook news feed and the news of their split popped out.


Sigh. SMSed Lala immediately (she was also about to go to sleep =[) and yes we seeked comfort in each other till 3am before I went to bed crying. It was expected but somehow still so painful when it came true. I was already in the midst of planning my UK trip 2012 when this annoucement came and I immediately went from "Im most probably going to go" to "Im definitely going to go". To other fans who think Im doing this on impulse and that Im damn rich etc; its not so. Firstly, Ive been a fan for 14 years and this has been a dream of mine; hometown concert for at least the past 10 years. So saving up 10k in 10 years is seriously no big deal to me. Im not a new fan who is suddenly caught up in the hype just because they decided to re-visit our shores after 5 years. But yes Im not going Ireland (as of now) because the damn dates are not released and theres no Meet and Greet packages for them.

WESTLIFE has been my pillar of support for 14 years and when it suddenly comes falling down...all the times I depended on them to tide me through the rough and stressful times. For once in my life listening to Westlife songs did not ease the pain. Every time I see their picture or hear their song playing a single drop of tear falls down my cheek...unknowingly.

Yes I initially booked a pair of MnG packages (475pounds each) for Nottingham because everything else was being sold out and just recently switched them for Liverpool in June because June was a much more suitable date for MK and hopefully I can make it in time for the Dublin date as well.

I love Westlife so so much. All of you reading this should know <3


Phoebe Feehily signing off now ciao!

Super Junior's 6th Anniversary

Image
Ok this post is specially dedicated to my Super Junior boys whom I've adored for 6 years. Yes I've been a fan for 6 years. This is basically to prove that I am NOT one of those girls who suddenly got sucked into the K-pop madness recently. Ok I think I'm just gonna use this post to embarrassingly pour out all my old Suju secrets haha. When did they first catch my attention? With the song "Knock Out" which I only realised quite a while later that it was their very first song so yes I've been a fan since day 1 I guess? or song 1. or rather video 1. I was a boyband fanatic at that point in time and I knew every single boyband and all their songs including those that were not that popular especially the UK boybands so the song "Knock Out" was originally Triple Eight's. I was watching MTV at that point in time and during the JK hit this song appeared and it caught my attention because I recognised the song. Being a visual person and a dancer, t...

KOREA 2014: DAY 8 ~ SEOUL: DMZ, Myeongdong, Dongdaemun

Image
24 OCT 2014 First itinerary of the day: visiting the DMZ. There are a lot of day tours from Seoul which you can find and book online or via your hotel reception but congratulations for finding my blog, I have a good tip for you to follow: Book from VVIP Travel. They are basically the main/largest agency that eventually conducts the tour. All other agencies/hotels will arrange the pick-up for you and all of the tourists will gather onto the same bus from VVIP Travel and that is where you incur additional charges.  Guideline: A half day tour (without JSA) should cost you 40,000KRW and a full day tour (with JSA) should cost  you 130,000KRW I personally booked my tour via this website: http://www.dmztours.com/seoul_dmz_tours.htm and got an email reply from Mr Choi rather quickly =) Question: What's the main difference between the half day and full day tour (with and without JSA)? JSA tour is the only part of the tour where you will actually get a gl...

KOREA 2014: DAY 6 ~ JEJU: Manjang Cave, Gimnyeong Maze Park, Seopjikoji Coast, Jeju Folk Village Museum, Sangumburi Crater, Yongduam Rock

Image
22 OCT 2014 Final full day in Jeju; spent with our taxi driver once again. Same early morning hearty breakfast where I decided to give a shot at the home-made yoghurt. Also, her daughter gave us an A4 paper each to write something so I drew a big thank you and left a sweet message thanking them for their warm hospitality =) Taxi driver arrived punctually and first stop was: Manjang Cave. The main attraction of this place is the huge rock at the very end of the tunnel where you make a u-turn to exit. Yes, it was a one way in and one way out passage. Note the place is rather wet (maybe because it was raining) and we had to play hopscotch and step on the stones to avoid the water puddles so I guess we took a bit longer than normal. Total time spent; 40minutes. There wasn't much photo-taking opportunities with the lack of lighting but we still did with a few selfies....which caused my phone to fall into a puddle of water on the stones...and guess what?! It survived!!! Sony Xper...
