2010-12-11T04:22:00.000-08:00

What?
Sending a special gift to Yoon Leader cheering for him. As most of you might know, our Yoon Leader is currently working on a 100+ episode sitcom. Let's do something to cheer for him =).

The gift...
It'll be 50 lollipops with messages attached to it...

Why 50?
I have no idea...100 seems a bit extreme...50 is just good enough~ I don't know...suggestion?

To participate...
You can choose to donate lollipop (by cash, RM 7 per pack of 10) or contribute messages you would want Yoon Leader to see~ Maximum 5 words (make it special, something that will make him smile after reading it)...I will be writing it down and stick it on the lollipop~ Your name will not be included on the messages. I will compile a list of contributors (and messages) in this blog and send the link to Yoon Leader with the package~

Dateline
Donation: By end of this month Dec 31, 2010 (you can choose to send me lollipop as well~)
Messages: By January 5th, 2011

If I can't give it to him during the DigiLive K-pop Party, I will send the package to Cube Entertainment office~

Digi Live K-pop Party 2011
January 13, 2011 (Thursday) // Stadium Negara // 8pm

How to get to Stadium Negara?

Monorail : Stop at Hang Tuah station then walk for 2 - 3 minutes
Star LRT: Get down at the Hang Tuah station, take the pedestrian bridge to the opposite side then walk for 2-3 minutes.
*more option below~~~~

Getting the ticket

If you missed the party launch, you can still get the ticket from the following outlets
1) DiGi Retail Centre, Sunway Pyramid
2) DiGi Counter, Berjaya Times Square (first floor)
3) Victoria Music Centre, Sungei Wang
4) Rock Corner, The Gardens
5) Rock Corner, 1 Utama Shopping Centre
6) Artist Gallery , Queensbay Mall, Penang
7) Digi Specialised Store,Johor Bahru City Square
p/s: if you need any help with getting the ticket, feel free to tell me (international fans too). i see what i can do~ ^^ but full payment are required before i go to get the ticket for you~ leave a comment here or send me an email icecole.pop@gmail.com

Where to stay?
There's a hotel within walking distance from the stadium. [HERE]. It's kinda affordable too~ less than RM150 a night. Not advisable to stay overnight outside.

Budget
Roughly RM 50 will be enough (food & transportation etc). If you're staying here for one night perhaps RM 200 will be enough~

Others
Since this is a free standing & free seating show, i assume a lot of you will be camping there~ I hope this can help...
Where to get food
I'm not sure if there will be stall there but normally there is no. Prepare your lunch or you can head to the hotel to get something to eat (around RM 15 - 20)

Toilet?
You can walk to Olympic Hotel and use their bathroom.

Stalking them?
Erm...
To the airport: Take KLIA Express Link from KL Sentral. If you're coming from the monorail, cross the road and then walk along the pedestrian pathway on your right until you see a traffic light. Turn to your left and follow the path until you can see the escalator (you can see red busses / taxi etc). Take the escalator up and go inside the building. The KLIA Express link is somewhere there. It'll cost around RM 80 (2 ways).

Taking taxi: Advisable to only take metered taxi. If the taxi driver ask you for a price before boarding, don't take it. Also, this event is held on a weekday, remember to get to the venue 2-3 hours prior because traffic is really bad during rush hours (5pm onwards). If you're taking monorail or LRT then it's okay.

Not planning to stay in a hotel
Get to the golden triangle. There will be a few 24 hrs fast food outlet that you can hangout~ It's within a walkable distance around 15 - 20 mins. Get a friend to walk with you. Right outside of the stadium, walk to the right side (you can see the monorail station there) then turn left and walk straight. You will probably cross 2 traffic light to the McD (it's the only 24 hr place i know =.=;). You will pass by Sungei Wang on your left and Times Square (on your left) and it's opposite of Lot 10 (a green building).

Alternatively, you can take the monorail there. Just get down at Bukit Bintang station then turn to your right and get down the stairs.

From outstation getting to the venue
From puduraya / bukit jalil bus station: Take the star LRT (toward Sentul) and get down from the Hang Tuah station.

From KLIA: Take KLIA Express Link to KL Sentral, get down and walk pass a pathway until you see McD (can be at the end of the pathway or opposite from where you get down). Then walk towards the main entrance (Burger King is near the entrance). Get down from the escalator and turn to your left. Walk along the pathway towards the main road (you will see Public Bank in front of you). Follow the path way to your right until you saw a traffic light (or 7/11) cross the street to get to the monorail station. Take the monorail to Hang Tuah station.

From LCCT: Take the shuttle bus from LCCT terminal (RM 9 one way) to KL Sentral. Once you get down at KL Sentral, follow the pathway (in front of the bus). Walk along the pathway towards the main road (you will see Public Bank in front of you). Follow the path way to your right until you saw a traffic light (or 7/11) cross the street to get to the monorail station. Take the monorail to Hang Tuah station.

Giving them present
~~Pass to Yoseob~~ I'll try to find out whether the organizer will put up gift collection counter for you guys to deposit your gifts...you can try your luck at the arrival terminal if you want to give them in person.

Getting lightstick~
Taking pre-order now until Dec 31st, 2010. You can get it from me at the venue or i can send it to you ^^. Refer here.

That's all... If you need any info, please leave a comment.
Bye~

Wow... customer service?

2010-11-30T05:11:00.000-08:00

you idiot (is this how they refer their customer?)

I think i don't have to mention abt the name of the shop. That dude already wrote it.

This is what happen~
Last Saturday I was planning to get 2 local version of Mastermind but didn't find it at Speedy so had to go to that shop~ But I was a bit skeptical so I bought one and went to the counter to pay~ Then after I get my change, I ask the Cashier guy if there's any contest going on by buying this CD, he said "No". I was pretty sure I check the list of participating outlets at Universal Music's FB before going out to get the CD. But it's the truth that the cashier from that shop said there's no contest. Didn't even bother to double check.

Now, is that my fault that your employee brush me off? Do I have no rights to voice out my consumer's rights? I have no idea where this dude come from. But i can assume he has something to do with that shop.

And he just make a big joke of himself by sending me that hate message. It's no brainer that you shouldn't piss off your customer. Do he even know how i look like? What a brainless human~ I told him I can walk around that shop whenever I want~ this is a free country~

You know what to do...

Bye~

2pm lightstick for Mnet Ultimate Live in Singapore~ kekee

finally i bought myself a copy

first page already very awesome X).

Mini Mastermind~
Went out and bought the local version of Mastermind. Comparing it with the Korean version, i find that our local ones is very cute~ almost like a mini-me version of Mastermind~ well, it has almost all the picture inside (except for solo ones). Have a look =).

Different cover & case

Same design but different color

Identical photobook

Same design

same hotness level~

double Hyunseung~!!!! lolz

Junseob anyone?

have no idea how to rotate the picture here...by the end of this post, i'm hating this blogger photo upload thingy~ it's so annoying =.=;;;

Kwang's photo here is flipped~ the original one he was looking to the left~

they even include their names...in case we can't recognize them~ no way~ lolz

As you can see, they took out the solo pic and mix & match em' for the lyrics~ other than Kwang's flipped picture, it's pretty much the same photo you can see from the Korean version~ pls say you guys bought it too~ =). big announcement tomorrow~ or next Monday~ keep reading =).

bye~

Mnet Ultimate Live Singapore

2010-11-22T21:20:00.000-08:00

B2uties and Hottest
and fans of 2AM, MBLAQ and Miss A as well...
I'll be heading to Singapore next friday for Mnet Ultimate Live *can't wait*. I heard there will be a booth to collect fangifts~ Anyone wanna send cards / letters to the idols, particularly those birthday boys;- Junhyung, Yoseob and Taec?

Leave me a comment here with your e-mail or PM me from your facebook and i'll get back to you~ =).

P/s: This show will be broadcast in Mnet~ OMG...but the down side is no cameras are allowed O.o;;;

YG oh YG~

2010-11-22T20:50:00.000-08:00

November 29, 2010~

Guess by now most of you know that there's an unknown countdown clock in YG's blog~ Fans are dying to know what YG Ent have been planning with this countdown clock. Will it be the highly anticipated Big Bang comeback and new tour announcement? Will we finally get to hear the song Taeyang was writing in their reality show *dies* Waiting is hard =.=;

IceCole Pop: Batch 1

2010-11-20T04:15:00.000-08:00

Batch 01~
Completed. Thanks to everyone who trusted in me despite just starting out~

*heart*

very high quality poster *o*

i know some didn't get this...this is mine btw~

I had to reorder for Mastermind CDs from other seller because they're running out of poster. Please understand that this is not pre-order, so chances of getting their uberlicious poster is very low~ And poster is very expensive to ship =.=; (i think the box itself is RM 30 O.o;) I'll try to keep the price low wherever i can~ but if it gets too expensive i might drop it from the list~

And~!!! The seller send me one extra copy of Lights go on again poster (kyaaaaaaa~). No idea if it was a mistake or a gift~ Guess this goes to the giveaway list~ kekee~ (i'm busy now, don't ask me when or i'll bite~ lol, jkjk~) No point selling something that's so awesome and free~! I found one site that sell k-pop poster for $13~ Posters are given out for free but are limited. Don't buy from these ppl~ They're not true fan ripping off from their idols~ Wait for my giveaways~ x). Might wanna see if you guys supported them *cough*Mastermind-local-version*cough*

Thanks again~

Mnet Ultimate Live Thailand

2010-11-15T06:50:00.000-08:00

I'm excited~!!!
I wish tomorrow is Dec 4th already~! It's just toooooo long for me to wait =.=; anyway I'm looking at the list of songs Beast performed in Thailand last Saturday (talk about so near yet so FAR). Hope they had fun getting away from the cold winter for 1.5 day (lolz~). This is to Junhyung who keeps on tweet tweet-ing about the cold weather~

Beast
They performed 7 songs (and a remix?). 7 songs is good enough~ I don't ask for more, they're probably too tired practicing for their concert by the time they're in Singapore...to be able to see them is good enough for me~ Best of all, they're performing 'Soom'~!!! So gonna do the official fanchant even if I'm chanting alone... (watch their promo...gosh who is beats?). Magnae's english accent is really cute~ kekee

2PM
Who wanna see fancams? [HERE~!!!!]. You probably won't get any fancam from me cuz I'll be busy cheering during the performances~ They sung 13 songs~ that's a freakin' mini concert (so excited~!!!) was hoping that they will be performing 'Even if you leave me' but they didn't include it in... I love that song ^^

Others
PC. Wow... Can't wait to go to the Singapore event~ Hope that Beast will include songs from their new mini album~

Attn:Malaysian B2uties...
Last Saturday I went to Speedy in Mid Valley and saw Mastermind poster hanging there (so much love frm Speedy)...Not sure when did they put that up tho~ Anyway, do you guys think that if we buy the local version of Mastermind to show our endless support to Beast, Universal will bring them here again just because their album is doing well in our local market??? What do you guys think? Will you buy it?

And I also notice that k-pop CD in Speedy are getting cheaper and cheaper but I want you guys to take note on something. Even though it's important to support our favorite artist by buying their CD, it's also important to take note and buy only original. Yup, those CD/DVD featuring your fav k-pop idol in the market may not be original even if you get it from local music store. Please help to spread this word to everyone you know. This has to be stopped~!

CD / DVD released under major company like Universal / Sony / Warner Music are confirmed to be 100% original (I assume they will get royalty) but there are some CD / DVD out there featuring your favorite artist that are produced illegally where the artist gets nothing~!!! Please read the label at the back and make sure you're familiar with the original design (these companies will imitate the design to make it look like the original ones but aren't really...). Buy the ones with original design. It hurts to know there are these companies out there reaping out hard works and killing the industry here! One of such example is Big Bang (pls...buy only those imported from Korea...I'm not sure if they're signed under any major company to promote locally now but as far as I'm concern, what you can buy in the market now ain't original...*applies to the local version only*).

Another way you can show your support to your fav k-pop artist is to stream their MV/Vids from their official channel (they can get geographical statistic). So chances of letting them know that there are a large fanbase of fans here in Malaysia is high~ Go on and stream everyday~ kekee~

SHINee
Gosh, I just found out that Shinee will be in Thailand next week. Lucky fans...Wish they'll come here for a fanmeet or mini concert...Honestly I prefer concert cuz fanmeeting is just overated...only those with $ get to see them upclose and personal... Does it hurt to let everyone go up on stage to shake their hand or give them a high 5?

I wanna tell Bling Boy that I'll protect him too...I didn't get to see him when Shinee went to Singapore last month...I really wanna see him performing live~ Love his killer voice~

I guess that's all for now... I can't really explain much about how I get to know about fake k-pop CD in the market. I just want fans to know about this... no point supporting some crappy company who reaps out other people's hardwork right?

Bye-yeom~

Guide: I went to Singapore to see Taeyang

2010-11-14T06:48:00.000-08:00

Korean Pop Night Concert 2010...
I know it's like every VIP's dream (Malaysian VIP at least) to see them performing live. Chances of them coming here for concert is pretty slim (insider news *sigh*) luckily I went to see them when they came to Singapore~ Let's hope that our local organizers are willing to take a 'risk' and bring them here...Guess they're just a bunch of business person...everything is about risk, I wish they can see the potential~

Anyway, this is supposed to be a guideline for those who wish to travel to Singapore next month for Mnet Ultimate Live in Singapore in a budget kinda way. You don't need a place to sleep, just find a place to hangout and fangirl/boy with your friends (I get this idea from a discussion...and it's kinda fun). Although many were excited about hanging out overnight, most of them backed out afraid that it's not worth to attend the concert. You won't regret it...Big Bang sung 7 songs that night~ It's like a mini-showcase. You don't even get that much from our local showcase *sigh* and you get to see many different artist... I was blew away by ft.island~ Their live performance is very amazing~ So I'm pretty looking forward for Mnet Ultimate Live...

Mnet Ultimate Live in Singapore
December 4, 2010 (Saturday) // Marina Bay Sands Hall E

Getting your ticket
You can still get it from sistic. I got my ticket from a friend who's staying in Singapore.
Besides that, you can look at their official FB page and see if there's ppl selling there. Might be a lil' risky and choose only those that look genuine (with a profile pic) and don't ever buy from those who mark up the price. There was a seller there selling a pair of allegedly VIP tickets for $600! Don't fall for it... There's only one category for this concert;- Free Standing...love it or not... Bring your heels~ ^^

Traveling to Singapore
Taking first coach again this time. It only cost RM 128 for two ways and it's quite timely. Will take approximately 5 hours and you even get a 20 mins stop somewhere in Johor. Try to book for your bus ticket 2-3 weeks prior to your departure.

It'll bring you right in front of Novena Square MRT (the red line) and you can find your way to anywhere with MRT. You just have to get used to it (request for a MRT map from the information counter, it's kinda handy). To get to Marina Bay Sands from Novena Square, you can either take a cab or MRT (just 8 stations away). Then from there it should be within walking distance.

After the concert
It'll be quite late after the concert so head on fast to the MRT to get to your next stop (24 hrs shop). I'm suggesting you guys get to Orchard (take the same MRT from Marina Bay). Walk along Orchard street, you'll find a few 24 hrs McD, Starbucks, Cafe... Bring a laptop with you~ It's quite safe there so no worries about being robbed etc...It'll be fun hanging overnight there~ You can always sleep while you're on your way back... 5 hr bus journey is kinda long =.=;

Getting back to Malaysia
First coach bus will depart from Novena Square (not opposite of the MRT tho). Right next to the MRT you'll see a staircase on the left...follow that path until you see a cafe/restaurant with green sign. You can wait for your bus there...

Budget... How much to bring?
Roughly $100 will be enough for you to eat and travel there... But there's a Korean mart in novena square~ you might wanna bring a lil' more to shop while you're there... Our phone line work in Singapore but it's kinda expensive...

Going alone
Not advisable...Better bring a friend who is as crazy as you~!

Hope it helps... This totally has nothing to do with Korean Pop Night Concert eh~ kekee I bet you guys watched all the fancams, HQ photos etc etc already so I don't have to fangirl once more on it... But Taeyang is really awesome that night...He was feeling the music like it's running his soul... Love it~
That's all~ Bye-yeom~

Hello World~

2010-11-12T01:47:00.000-08:00

Getting this started~
How should I start this eh? I wanna create a blog to talk / rant / fangirl / etc etc on everything i like ^^

Well, you'll know by then =). I really love his hair and hairband...actually kinda sad when he decided to cut his hair...I really love his blond hair~ btw, my bias in Beast is Yoon DuDu *insert heart* kekee~
