6 long bae-years...

there's one thing i forgot to post yday...

BMF's very first BYJ autograph.

when i first opened and saw what he wrote, it really surprised me.
touches me so much to think that he actually took the effort to write the greetings in malay language even it was just 2 words.

"Apa Khapar, Malaysian Family"

though it should hv been "khabar" and not "khapar", we are all deeply touched.
seriously you have to be there to know how delighted everyone was.

(apa khabar = how do you do?/how are you? = annyeong haseyo?)


********


after having celebrated the 5th anni last sunday, i began to ponder.

in fact while i was blogging about the gathering yday, my mind kept wandering backwards to those early bae-days.

5 years for BMF, 6 years for myself...
wow~ can u believe it? it has been 6 years~
sometimes i wonder how i managed to stay 6 years.
not to forget those who have been around since day 1. that certainly outdo my #6..
i really salute you~

6 long bae-years.
i never realised that i can still actually love him so much after so many years.
ppl used to tell me that...
"star idolisation wont last more than 2 years. u'll just get bored after some time. then u'll regret having waste so much time on someone who don't and wouldn't know you."

well, ive surpassed that 2 years and im still an absolute bae fan.

like i said, i didn't know that im still so charmed by him like i was back in 2002.
i only realised it last saturday when i wanted to prepare some clips for the games at the gathering.

i was searching thru and watching some of the old clips like his CFs, captures, interviews, dramas...when i found the Hotelier's dance scene of Frank and JY in diamond villa.
somehow that frank shin look just struck me.

then i went to look for WLS clips. man~ how i missed Joonsang.
and it was Joonsang, Joonsang was the one. it was his 'fault' and the rest was history.

that nite i ended up doing nothing of the clips. i was supposed to find, edit and show the clips for the games but i did non of that. instead i decided to simplify everything and just ask questions. all thanks to dear YJ for being such a distraction. hahaha...

yeah yeah...blame on the man who don't even know of my existance !

came sunday at the gathering when we were all watching dvds of him, again....i was star struck.
maybe its the effect of watching him on screen on TV. for a long time since after April Snow, ive only watch him thru the pc's monitor bcos i gave away my dvd player to mom.

i remembered when i was suddenly telling the ladies...
"oh~ darn~ why is he sooooo good looking?? he is really so good looking!"
then they were like.."huh? who? who?"
i said "aiya, YJ la of cos !"
then they replied "cheh, who dunno la!" hahahahaha..

i dunno if there'll be another 6 bae-years for me but i do know that even if one day i shall decide to call it quit, i will still cherished all those bae-days i had with the family.

to me, the past years were not just about BYJ.
it was to me a discovery of friendships, an eye-opener
i did not 'came' into the family wanting.
i 'grew' into the family accepting.

tigger and i were just 'talking' about how we missed the good old days.
yes, i admit i have been lucky. we and some of the 'oldies' have been lucky. some even luckier.
it was no doubt, the earlier days were much easier.

but that also means that our dear YJ is moving forward and upwards.
im sure u wouldn't want him to just stay stagnant and not move on.

so, never mind how many official and non-official fan clubs there'll be in the future, whether or not it is BYJ-recognised, it doesn't matter.

but, should your lucky day comes one day, don't forget to tell him your name !^^

as for myself, should lady luck drops by, i would be asking him...

"용준님, 저를 아세요?" ㅋㅋㅋ

.
.

so remember, it is only bcos of BYJ that we both know each other.

We are 5 because of you...YJ

had been wondering how i should actually start writing about the gathering we had last sunday.
i did upload all the pics to my pc once i got home but i just couldnt get my brain to edit the photos or even start rewinding the day's happening.

ok ok..i admit...im just plain lazy la ! mian~

anyway the day was........
we started, or rather, I started very early on that very day.
its NOT normal for me to wake up at 7am on a sunday morning :p

went to pick up the food from the market, came home got ready n im off to jennyT's house.

got to jenny's hse half an hour earlier, i was hoping to catch her off guard,
who knows she maybe just about to just 'kick' that last strand of hair under the sofa..hahahaha
but too bad. she was well prepared. she has even prepared some korean tea using her VERY precious set of korean teacups, which she kept reminding us how expensive it is, to welcome us. hahahaha.

ahh, told u since im visiting jenny at her new house for the first time, i bought her some toilet rolls and a bag of detergent. ^^
after some arrangment, we waited for the other sisters to arrive then we are ready to start.actually can't say its a 'start' start cause since we dont really have a specific itinerary..ahh! anyway..we just started la..
so, here's our goodies bag to welcome everyone. KTO provided us some of the souvenirs n i really like the new Korea Sparkling bag ^^

these are some of our prizes for the day's games.

somehow, the same thing always happens at our gathering.

each time there's a new single member joining us, she will be the one who will win big.

it has happened quite a few times and this time the winning baebie was Marilyn.

congrats marilyn !

and here...u may wonder what are these ajummas doing.

u know, before knowing YJ, i never knew that even ajummas are so interested in photography.
see? rosalind was so engrossed that she even needed to stand apart on 2 chairs for that shot!
what was it that made them so excited?....

wait...i'll show u later....

but first...here's our lunch. since we don't have many ppl we decided to just go simple on the food and yet we had so much leftovers. so most of us gotta 'ta-pau' (take-away).

food from top : curry chicken with potatoes, kuih ketayap (malay dessert: coconut wrapped in pandan flavoured rice flour 'skin'), fried meehoon (wasn't suppposed to be spicy but the lady forgot-mian~), rendang daging (spicy malay beef) and bull's eye eggs.
at the bottom there's a walnut cake made by one of the malay sisters.

btw i only had one piece of the walnut cake because i was sooo full.
the cake was really nice.

so...yati, next gathering buat lagi ye? ^^

and then, those stuff on the left...hehe..dang dang dang...

its our birthday jelly cake!

but first we had to move our bday cake out to the living room to get a better 'position' haha..see?

nice or not?

bb was saying she didn't know that our logo was blue apple. well, it has been since 2006. it was designed by one of our sisters who very seldom join us due to her work.

dida, thanks again for the design and next time make sure no more clashes with ur work..ok?

oh, why the blue apple? well, if you call urself part of the Bae family, u should know.

see the smaller jellies at the side? those are take-away for evone.
i dunno if evone like the taste of the jellies but i myself kinda like it. the blue apple has got pandan flavor while the smaller ones were coffee flavoured.

then, it was family photo time..click click...

but wait !
i forgot something really important. how can i even forget such an important thing???

it's our dear YJ's autograph to the family.
suddenly, evone got so excited. for a moment i was afraid that it might get torn or something. well, u can't blame them cause this was the VERY FIRST TIME that we, BMF, ever got an OFFICIAL autograph from BYJ.

after a while, evone calmed down. the next thing u know, ajumma photographers in action again.

seriously, you cannot imagine how happy evone was to finally receive such an 'honour' to have an autograph by the man himself to the family. and the fact that he actually wrote in malay surprises evone.

YJ, we at BMF are really so thankful to you !

JennyT our hostess of the day. forever our model-wannabe. she's the one who refused, i repeat, REFUSED to hug YJ when she went on stage in spore back in 2003.
evone who went up hugged him except her ! can u believe that?????
i remembered YJ looking confused too as she kept her distance. bwahahahahahahahahahaha !!!

i wonder if she'll do it if given a second chance. bcos she said that she hugs only her own hubby wor... :p

ok, so after all the fuss, we got together again for the family photo.

this time, its a real family photo together with YJ....in signature~

finally after all these so called 'customary' bae-routine. we settled down.

we watched his clips, twssg, asian tour, CFs, etc.
we chat, we talked, we laughed, we swooned our the man..on tv.
its really amazing how this man, i dunno about you, but to me, can still mesmerised me like the very first time i saw him in Winter Sonata back in 2002.
oh~ he's really absolutely so BYJ !

ooppss...ok ok sorry back to the gathering first...
after spending some 3 hours of BYJ+gossips talk, we decided to call it a day.

we helped jenny to clean a little before leaving n made sure evthing's in its order before we came in. hahhaha...

before i say my thanks, let me just show u what was inside our goodies bag.

all the above was sponsored by KTO except the AS folder, Keychain and of cos his autographed photo ^^

finally...

my foremost thanks to YJ for his time taken to sign the autograph for us.
애메리씨 도음 많이 주셨어서 진심으로 감사드립니다.

thank you unni for your help in buying the stuff !

thank you to JennyT for letting us use her place.

thank you to KTO who sponsored us those lovely gifts. looking at those brochure makes me wanna go korea again !

last but not least...

thank you so much to all of you who attended.
honestly, it is me who need to thank all of you who came. because without you, i myself alone cannot make things happen. "it takes two to tango" so give urself a pat on the back too.

till we meet again...take care !


ps : remember to tune in to TWSSG on Astro ShuangXin 10.30pm from June 30th 2008

BMF's 5th birthday !

it was back in may 2003 when a few of us decided to 'start a family' for the local bae fans..
there wasnt many of us but still we kept it growing little by little where we'll have someone new joining us each time we gather. and along the years we has much fun together...

come this sunday (11th may 2008) we'll be celebrating our 5th birthday ! ^^

again it'll just be a simple celebration for the family.
this time we made it different from previous years, we'll be celebrating at a fellow sister's new house. let's just hope we dont break any glasses or spill any drink on her sofa hahahaha..

problem is for me now is that until today i have yet to come up with any games for the ladies @@~
what else can we do then to just look and talk about ONE man??
funny thing is..i dont think anyone will be bored by doing just that.
sometimes i just cant believe myself why there's so many things to talk about just ONE particular man and that being someone who dont even know us !
just simply amazing !~

well, there's only 2 more day to go. so i better start cracking :p


ps : spore family JF too is celebrating their 5th anni this May. tiff, hv we ever discussed among ourselves why we chose May to start? no, right? what a coincidence. hehe.. u ladies hv real good fun over there!

TWSSG On Malaysian TV !!!

finally finally finally...

spoke to 3 person today that finally confirmed to me that..
"Yes ! BYJ's The Legend (TWSSG) will be on air on Malaysian TV !"

yes ! yes ! yes !

i almost wanted to jump for joy. but i had a little too much to do at work today to do that..hehe..
i was quite dissappointed when a previous local distributor told me that they had to 'let go' of getting the copyrights for the drama due to the $$. but when i heard spore will get their 'share' of the pie later this month, i knew i had to do something.
so today, it's confirmed that we will also be able to watch it on TV !

though it'll be on pay TV and will on air late next month, it's definitely better than nothing..right? ^^
