2PM Wooyoung 1st concert 엥?CALL!

I was a kdrama fan evolve to be a kpop fan. 2PM is the reason behind it. Especially Dream High and of course I love Jason character in that drama. Wooyoung in real life is the most eloquent and funniest to me so I would not miss his Korean comeback after the legendary Sexy Lady. He held a special concert 엥?CALL! for this comeback. The word "engcall " is sound similar to an encore.

The flight ticket was expensive but I just buy the concert ticket first as the best thing about Korean online reservation ticket is that you can cancel them if you are unable to come /buying another seat. Being a promise hottest I got to purchase earlier than the public and of course, my unfit body needs to be in the seated section. I managed to buy it and like a fate Air Asia also hold a special sale using their "Big" loyalty programme. I got to buy the flight ticket at the half price from the original. I bought ticket on 10th ( afterwards JYPe announce the additional concert date on Friday, 9th)

It is Wooyoung first solo concert in Korea although he is an experienced solo singer with a tour in Japan. ( I went to Rose promotion). Anyway, I change my concert ticket from 10th to 9th as suddenly Day6 also open the additional extra ticket for their concert on the same day. The multifandom problem- "you got to attend all". As it was last minute, my cancellation was refunded with  20% cancellation fee from the ticket price. Speaking which I  do think fan club member should get discounted ticket than public ( I am official Igot7 too, fan club member ticket got discounted price to their fan meeting) I would go to Got7 fm too, if it is held on the same weekend with Woo and Day6. Wooyoung will encourage me to go to Day6 too lol, he was the special guest on Day6 April. I would say day6 is his most favorite hoobae.

The day :
The concert location is at Hannamdong Blue Square. The venue is just next to the subway station. I would not miss buying the special merchandise for the concert. Plus I need the lightstick as I don't go to 6 nights. I enter the q, 1 hour before the merchandise opening time.

The merchandise :

The miniature is the biggest hit, sold out in 30 minutes

JYP also organize an event booth "scratch and win " lol . Thanks to Egle I got a gist of the merchandise sale event. I got a button badge hahaha  ( 3rd prize). Interestingly the 4th prize is a photocard ( which I think it is better than button badge)

If you buy 100,000 won you would get a special gift. ( Wooyoung signed card of the day)

I am surprised that JYP does not put a limit on the merchandise.  I got the last key ring of the day. Phew.

Of course, I have to buy at least one of the random photocard ( 3000 won).

My seat is on the 2nd floor ( I only change from 10th to 9th because there is an available seated section ) If it standing I would skip Day6. It is the same section with VIP. After the light is off, I can see JYP and San E come and sit at the first row of my section.

Warning * limited hangugo fan account lol * Wooyoung started the concert with the dancers and going up and down on the 2 levels stage with "얘들아" ( my heart dropped every time he takes the stair -Minjun post effect). After that, he said it is majimak song like what?? but everyone just laughs it off and I think is this the "encore" concept?

Highlight:

• I was in tears during Happy Birthday as I went to Osaka on March ( my birthday month ) after I registered my post graduate program. Fast forward  I just completed it...it is hell for me. Oh, yup everyone pretended that today is their birthday when MC Woo questions the audience. ( not me tho) 

• At one time during the talk, the spotlight is not properly on him. Hottest shouted, " We cant see you!"Wooyoung reply " Go get a Lasik "Lol. He is so cheeky.

• The led stage is very impressive, they change it according to the songs. I love that I got to see Woo's Superman feat Minjun ( JYP nation stage was with hoobaes X Junkay) + DJ goin crazy
• Sexy Lady- oh man I can't believe that I got to see the stage... I even bought the CD silver and gold version to complete the photo. The fans chant was on fire!
• He sing 얘들아  again hahaha what unique concept. I got to see Party Shots again too. It seems like we are started on the ending songs section hehe.
• We got the see  Woo "Morigate Yo" MV Korean Version ( well he is the composer for Got7 song).  
• Of course, he is saying goodbye and thanks again but the staff already plan this placard event lol so I know woo you don't even sing " I like " yet. He almost chokes at the beginning of I like which makes me in tears again hahaha arayo, I like 2pm too. It just hit me this concert is on 9th before the incident...ahh I can't believe we have to go through that again...we get mad to the person that we love, because we care and love 2pm...anyway please come back as better person Minjun.

Please be happy Uyong! You are the best!
Can't wait to see 2pm as 6 again ( plus  I need to use the expensive light stick again haha)....take care, everyone!

Seoul in 2018 with AirAsia and Incheon Terminal 2

I am back in Seoul for Wooyoung and Day6!

The flight ticket was expensive but suddenly AirAsia drop the AirAsia Big sale, wait no more- I was able to purchase the flight ticket at half price + baggage.

I stay at Philstay Ewha Boutique . It is my 2nd time there.
- near to the subway ( Ewha) + free breakfast
- all female
- equip with privacy curtain, toilet with bidet
- I always book via Agoda to earn Big points or Traveloka if they offer a discount hehe.
This dorm definitely my favourite. They also accomodate my request to stay at lower bunk :)

click  the photo above to check availability and price

Curtain and private lamp for privacy

breakfast menu : toast and cereal

Pocket wifi:
I chose Travel Recommends.https://www.travelrecommends.com

However,  they run out a promo after I book the pocket wifi..sigh.Well since sharing is caring :

Promo code:  WIFIHUATAH 
Book by 28th February
Rm10 off.

Rm15 / day. I chose pocket wifi instead of roaming /sim card as I have Samsung Galaxy Camera. It will be my android backup should my mobile phone out of battery ( especially in winter ). I can still connect with others using message via Instagram and Twitter.

AirAsia flight experience

I am seated at aisle I can go to the toilet easily.I ordered Nasi Ayam , but I think the taste is not as delicious as it used to. I also tried their onboard only sale Onigiri. You can choose a combo set with Miso Soup. This soup is a bit salty but it was the best to warm up your body. The onigiri..is just so-so

What caught my attention is this lucky bag "Fukubukuro". I want to buy it but at the same time, I do not think I will use whatever item inside the bag. I hope anyone can share what they got if they buy this. I also noticed that AirAsia is selling the universal adaptor for rm50. Quite ok if you forget to bring the adaptor. Semestinya paling baik jangan tertinggal barang apa2, tetapi jika tertinggal hah takpe beli atas flight sahaja. Berpengalaman beli kat airport, harganya rm80 sobs.

Reach Seoul at  3pm and my first tour will be the newly open Incheon Airport Terminal 2. You can take free shuttle bus from Terminal 1. This terminal 2 only cater 4 airlines at the moment ; Korean Air, Delta Airlines, KLM and Air France. Shuttle bus is every 5 minutes from Level 3 and it will take 20 minutes to the terminal.

This hangul deco is pretty

Special desk for Winter Olympic

The Arex and Transit Train is also available at Terminal 2 ( which is now the final station )

I also like the fact that there is more toilet with bidet at Terminal 2.

Return flight.
The flight was retimed ( delay 4 hours) . AirAsia offers to change the flight for free or refund credit due to this delay but I just stick to the new flight. They send out email and sms to inform passenger about the change.I cant claim from my travel insurance tho as it is less than 6 hours. Due to a technical issue, a new plane was direct to Incheon to cater Kuala Lumpur route.

I ordered Nasi Lemak and I want to try the Festive Special  Emperor Fried Rice but it was sold out. I guess that is the bad side of seating at seat number 40+.

I discover this plane was used for Osaka - Honululu route from this menu. All in USD okay.

Since my flight will reach around 8pm , I purchase some snack which is Snickers ( I want muffin originally but it was not in stock). I also discover Minute Maid serve with ice is the best combination. Especially after late evening sleep lol.

Bye Seoul  see you and when I see you .

Hari Rabu lepas saya telah pergi ke sana ( kali ke 2) untuk makan malam. Namun pada haritu hanya Nasi lemak sahaja yang ada kerana mereka ada masalah dengan dapur.

Due to some technical issue, only "Nasi Lemak" is available last Wednesday. On a normal day, you will have a headache choosing the food. From fried rice to fried chicken.
"Nasi lemak is a Malay fragrant rice dish cooked in coconut milk and pandan leaf. It is commonly found in Malaysia, where it is considered the national dish;[6] it is also popular in neighbouring areas such as Singapore;[7] Brunei, and Southern Thailand". (Wikipedia)

Menu :

Nasi Lemak ( 7000 won) Sambal Pergh !

waktu saya pergi dengan Pakej Poto tahun lepas kami makan nasi ayam lagi ! Sedap

Tour guide kami ( orang Korea) pun suka termasukla manisan Kuih sagu Melaka.
