Got back from Las Vegas last night but ended up sleeping all day today xD
I wanted to share pictures I took during the trip but... I LOST MY MEMORY CARD FOR MY CAMERA!!! *cries*
I'll just summarize a few things of my 3 days 2 nights trip in Las Vegas!!!!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Day 1 was the night of Kpop Masters Concert at MGM Grand featuring - TVXQ, SISTAR, B2ST, MBLAQ, Brown Eyed Girls, SHINee, G.na, and 4minute.
First performance was B2ST. I'll admit, I didn't want them to go first AT ALL! Save some of my favourites for last you know? They sang Fiction, Beautiful Girl?, Soom, and Shock. I was disappointed in the audience though. In most Korean/Japanese concerts, mixed fandom still cheered for everyone else that performs but in this audience, it was filled with bias lgs and parents that were forced to go because of those lgs. It wasn't even a full arena and some audience even rushed to the front seats even though they didn't pay for it; very disorganized and rude. But anyways, I'm happy there was B2ST~ but no KiKwang *sob*
Second was SISTAR. I love SISTAR just not those sparkly outfits they wore during their stage... it was too sparkly. Once again I didn't like the bias fandoms of this concert. No one really cheered for SISTAR just because they don't care. I cheered for them!! They're awesome and once again made me think that Hyorin is so underrated because of the songs SISTAR releases. Her vocals are just too good for some typical idol songs.
Then it was G.na!! As a fellow Canadian and British Columbian as well as neighboring city, I love Gna even more. Plus, her talk was in ENGLISH!! hehe. Apparently it was her 500th anniversary and I'm glad I was there to help celebrate it :D She wrote an English version of I'll Back Off So You Can Live and I seriously loved it!! I cheered for her and seriously hoped everyone else did but like I said... it was a bias audience. G.NA!!!! <333
After G.na was MBLAQ~ my friend was soo happy and so was I. I cheered for 'em too ^^. Oh YEAH~!!!~ I loved fanchanting the "Oh yeah~" part hehe. It was fun and I can't get Mir's smiley face after he took off his glasses out of my head, so cute <33 And Panda leader needed more screen time but overall I loved MBLAQ's performance as well.
Next was 4minute~~!! Woot!! Hyuna <33 She's so pretty and cute; I love her more and more despite how people keep judging her that her dances are "slutty" when it isn't and that those people obviously don't know her well enough. I loved the fact they sang my favourite songs Hot Issue and Muzik. Then again, I love almost every single one of their songs!!
After 4minute was the long awaited Brown Eyed Girls. Honestly speaking, my friend came to this concert for B2ST and MBLAQ but I came solely for Brown Eyed Girls despite myself being a girl. I kept looking forward to them singing Sixth Sense but of course they sang that last. They did Hot Shot which btw, I loved it!! So hot <33 Most of the male audience that came also attended the concert for BEG hehehe. And during Sixth Sense, THEY SANG THE HIGH NOTES!! Even the bored, older audience were finally impressed ^^. The mother who was next to me gave a sign of approval after being bored since the beginning. I know how she feels :D Afterall, Brown Eyed Girls is really awesome and those lgs just don't know what real singing and performance is!
Then, it was SHINee. As expected, the amount of lgs in the concert came solely of SHINee because they weren't there the day before. It was an earthquake. I would've cheered for SHINee if the audience cheered for everyone else before but since they didn't, I didn't bother cheering for SHINee either. Me and my friend just sat down while people were screaming like no tomorrow. Some of the parents had an annoyed face on them too from all the screaming fans lol. I can't find myself to like SHINee at all even though they're typically around my age. Their songs just don't appeal to me. They sang Ring Ding Dong, Lucifer, Hello, and something else but whenever I hear those songs, I think, why does it just repeat like 3 times? There's nothing unique about those songs at all. I wonder if SHINee was not part of SME, would they still be as popular as they are today? I just can't understand it. Plus, they're too boring of personalities to me. Their introductions during the mini talk segment was just the typical I'm this person and thanks for coming and nothing really fun going on unlike B2ST and MBLAQ. They just too much of a "good-boy" group and I just find it boring.
Last but not least was TVXQ. I loved DBSK as 5 but I guess my bias for Uknow made me get back up and watch their performance afterall. As expected though of Gods of the East that they had major stage presence. I'm happy to have watched it and one thing that really came to mind when I saw Uknow on the screen was... dang he's got some white teeth XDDDDDDDDDDDD But didn't like his outfit.. the back of it had this "wing-looking" thing attached to it and seems very heavy and uncomfortable.
They wrapped up the concert singing Arirang? and that was about it. I came to Las Vegas brining more money thinking there were gonna be lots of merchandise to spend on but all they had was Kpop Masters T-shirt and posters. So I didn't bother wasting a single cent.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Day 2 was just typically me and my friend walking down to Fashion Show Mall and back up. But I didn't regret walking for 30ish minutes to the mall. The Sanrio there was nice ^^ And they had Superdry store! I bought a jacket that was 50% off but it was like the 1 and only jacket that was left and it was my size!! *cries* I like it alot :DD We walked around the mall and browsed and ate then as we walk back up the strip, we took lots of pictures! The exteriors of each casino is something you can't miss!! We even went from inside out to see both the inside of each casino and outside. My friend took lots of pictures, I'll tell her to send them to me since I dun have any pictures to share sadly.
We went back to our hotel to drop off the things we bought and rested until it was dinner time. We were going to eat at Bellagio Buffet :D It was just a typical day where nothing really happened until.......................................... WE SAW CHANGMIN!!! On our way to Bellagio after exiting the Cosmopolitan, we saw a really tall Asian guy crossing the street we were crossing too. First thing that came to mind was, oh that guy is tall~ And as he approached closer, IT WAS CHANGMIN!! I'm not a Changmin fan and in fact, during DBSK as 5, he was the last on my list but... having a closer look at him even if it was like 2 secs, he was tall and really good looking. My friend even commented on how she didn't recognize him and just thought "he had nice hair" until we recognized him haha. I couldn't help but say... OMFG OMFG OMFG afterwards which I think he might have heard too, he even glanced at us a bit as he passed since we were Asian. But the meeting was definately a surprise since we didn't think any of the groups would stay for another day because they're all really busy people afterall. He helped make our dinner even more enjoyable LOL
As we returned to the hotel, we checked Twitter and regretted coming home too early. G.na was also at Bellagio to watch the O Show!! WE COULD'VE MET HER TOOOO!! We were tempted to run back down to the streets and seek her haha..
--------------------------------------------
Sadly its Day 3 and time just flies so fast. Our flight was at night so we had quite a few hours to kill off til then. Realizing that G.na and MBLAQ was still in Las Vegas, we walked around like we did on Day 2 hoping to see them. We kinda "stalked" the airlines on when Korea Air flights were. We predicted that they are leaving the same night too but just a bit later. We were right but sadly they were on the International Gate... sob
That was the typical trip to Las Vegas and back. I'm going to nag my friend about sending me all her pictures and videos and then share it with everyone. I'm sad I can't share my portion of the trip though. But we did practically take the same pictures because I kept telling her to take pictures of this and that xDD I didn't really buy a whole lot of things though. I bought the Superdry Jacket, a really awesome Red Monkey Cap, a box of See's Candy lollipops at the airport, lots of accessories, a scent roller from Sephora at Venetian (it was huge!!), a new camera to add to my purple collection, a key chain and a teddy bear from M&M whom I named "INO" as in the opposite of UKnow haha.
Still sad about my memory card but I had fun during the trip and got to get a glimpse of Changmin too ^^ Now it's back to studying for finals which are in 2 or so weeks. Got lots to study~~ Let's hope Vancouver will have some kinda Kpop concert in the future !!
