Meeting my boysssss

I don't know by saying my boysssss, I mean KNK or HIGHLIGHT. Jihun or Seungjun or JunHyung. THAT'S HOW LUCKY I WAS.

last stage of the night

On the first few days when I was in UK, Zoe told me about this FeelKorea@London, which is a one day event and for the evening part, there's KNK SNUPER EXID and HIGHLIGHT. Four of them!!! Well I was always KNK's fan since they debuted and also HIGHLIGHT was in my loop playlist while studying for my last finals (literally watched all the live performance vid too) ..... SO MUST GO!!! and it costs 30pounds, two tix here can't even make me to SVT's concert!
We took a 6hours night bus from Liverpool to London, on the seat so small and hard compared to buses back in Malaysia. Reached early in the morning, bought my OysterCard, had our breakfast and freshen up in the railway station.

We then went to Victoria and Albert Museum which is near the Olympia exhibition centre where the event was held. There were so many things to see inside together with the overwhelming architectures we spent the whole morning there just seeing around, didn't managed to finish everything as I kept thinking about the concert that night XD

After having our lunch, we went straight to the venue. After two minutes, guess what, I met Jihun and Seungjun!!! They were on stage to give prizes to the dance competition earlier.
so tall even in the angmo-s crowd!!!

I thought I was a veryyyyy lucky fan, until later that night, I realize I'm not veryyyyyy lucky. Instead, I guess I've used up all my luvk GAHHHHH
We went straight to queue up after that, around 4hrs before and lucky us coz the crowd later was so hugeeeee.
endless queue, imagine the same view in front too!
We were lucky enough to be very close to the stage, around five people far from the first line. Which I am already very grateful! Coz guess what, that night later, I turned out to snatch one of KNK's signball!!! 当这个饭值了!很值!!! 
this only happens in dream!!!!!
KNK came out first, singing all of their songs with live, guess I can die in peace nowwww. After that was Yerin(?) special stage You Raised Me Up and then SNUPER stage, followed by KNK's special stage Thinking Out Loud. After that was EXID stage, then SNUPER special stage singing BTS Fire. The stage was already very lit by then. I'm screaming since KNK's stage then exceeding my limits after every single stage screaming even crazier ._.
The last one was HIGHLIGHT, and encore was together with Beast's song <3

first stage

look at dem legs thooo




I was this close THIS CLOSEEEEEEE
 Throwing a few pics that night I took and also short things that popped up my mind. Read only if you're a fan or else you'll think I'm crazy =X No joke ._.

Most of the fans are there for HIGHLIGHT, but love how they went to listen others song too 
YouJin is much more handsome and good looking in person I wonder why he doesn't look so in pictures taken ._.
KNK's height is no joke, VERY TALL.
KNK's and SNUPER performed all live songs they have I'm so blessed.
Not to mention I'm around 5th row(?) Worth the hourssss spent queuing up by the roadside
People in front of me is 'polite' WHY YOU NO SQUEEZE IN FRONT
Only realized how many people in front of me when HIGHLIGHT is out, people in front were all calm until they came out LOL
Was screaming out my lungs like MAX when KNK was out as the first group, can't believe I leveled up after every group came out next, was at another level which I never imagined myself will be at when HIGHLIGHT was out
Me: I should stop stanning Kpop group's time to be back to reality like REALITY
Also me: Queues by the roadside 5hrs earlier and screamed crazily when KNK came out
Owh yea, two girls literally fainted in front of me before HIGHLIGHT came out.
Suddenly felt all the exercise I done was so worth it XD

I'm recharged. Worth everything. I'm lucky. I'm blessed. I'm grateful. Sometimes I wonder what on earth do I deserve all this. Working hard on everything in the future just to pay back these moments. Thank you for everything.

A day in Belgium

There was one night a week ago, when I was sitting with Zoe, watching random dramas on our computer separately. Suddenly, "should I go Paris" popped in my mind. Told this to Zoe and we both paused our videos, went to search for flight tix, and ended up finding cheap tix to Belgium (abt 23euro one way, which is even cheaper than Miri to Kedah). Bought the tix, although another destination, then continue our dramas. That's how we ended up in Belgium.

I knew the country from a variety show, a few guys reaching at night, visiting the grand place with the building lights up, that's my image for the country.

Another one will be best waffles, best beer and best chocolates. Oh, and also mussels in Brussels.

We reached at midnight, because of the one hour time difference, it was quite late. Found a random restaurant and had kebab at almost 12am, wanted to visit the grand place at night but since it was too late we ended up resting early that night.
midnight kebab
The next morning, we woke up early and walked all the way from our hostel to the center of the city, passing by so many beautiful buildings feeling the fresh vibes in Brussels.

a castle like building which is now a musuem

5euro entrance fee so we took pics outside and left XD

traffic lights here have different icons
The country speaks two languages, German and French. Everyone around me is speaking a language I can't understand but still I was enjoying it. Probably the second country I visited that I didn't speak the language other than Thailand XD

 We then passed by a flea market where people sell antiques. There's a small square but it was quite empty and there was less people as it was raining quite heavily that day.
 A seller from Algeria that has typewritters in his stall typed 'I LOVE YOU MALASIA' for us <3
This is how some of the zebra crossing here looks like, and I LOOOOVE how the cars will stop once you come near one!
A selfie with the peepeeboy which is so small in real life. Hi and bye XD
We stopped by a coffee shop for a break as it was raining quite heavily and I faced some problems back in Miri about my EPs ._.


DELIRIUM CAFE
We then found the peepeegirl opposite Delirium cafe.
 Next stop, Delirium cafe aka my paradise, early in the morning. We chose to come here in the morning as we want to avoid the crowds.
It is called a cafe instead of a bar or a pub. There's up to 2000++ type of beers here which is recorded as the most types in the Guinness World Record, separated into three catagories, light heavy and fruity. Fun fact is that the best beer here in Belgium are brewed by monks!!

The interior here is so great, this is how the basement looks like, with all kinds of beer cap in the ceiling.

Zoe had the most popular cherry beer, and I ask for a recommendation of fruity beer. The bartender gave me a ... (sry i forgot the name will update once i rmb LOL)

THE GRAND PLACE
I can't control myself but wanting to take a picture once i stepped into the square. It's a square with beautiful, grand, majestic building all around you. I passed by there around ten times and still can't stop taking pictures of it.


Too many pics I can't upload it all. At the end we sat on the floor in the middle of the square for almost two hours in the evening, feeling and seeing the whole place, greedy me still don't feel enough XD Wanted to wait for the sunset so the building will light up as that was how I had the image of Belgium, didn't get to have a look as we were rushing for the last bus to the airport that night. Well, leaving some regrets so I have a reason to come back here again.

FOOOOOOOOOOD
Another thing that makes Belgium heaven is foooood. Waffles and chocolates, desserts and all. Literally my paradise.
We bought two small macarons.
 Zoe said her dream is to be rich enough to be able to enjoy the tea sold here.
My dream would probably be tasting all the macarons XD

Chocolatessssss

Wafflesssssss

We were on a tight budget, all aiming cheap and save money. Didn't want to afford for fancy chocolates but still want to try. Well I found coupons in our hostels that can be used to exchange a chocolate at this fancy chocolate shop, I'm grateful <3

Found a bench by the roadside and enjoyed our macarons, this is small but OMG yumsssssss
We had one pistachio and a vine berry one. Both not that sweet. The first one has the strong after taste of pistachio flavor and the second one has a light sourness with a slight sweetness. 

Candiesssssssss

We decided to go all out and got us a fancy waffle. YUMSSSSSSSS.
The strawberries and the cream that was so soft and light, with nutella chocolate on top, together with the Belgium waffles aka the best waffles I ever had in life (had a one with just sugar on top which surprised me with the fact that there is such tasty food on Earth)

more chocolatesssss

we went in and out a lot of chocolate shops, just to look and drool. I'm satisfied.

Had paella for dinner. Since mussels in Brussels is a must. Decided to have a paella with a few mussels in it. Damnnnnnn it was so nice too although this is just a random restaurant. Zoe was so nice to peel all the prawns for me (Need one Zoe in life. Owh wait I have one. Blessed.)

We visited a few other places too on that day, an open mall which should also be the oldest one in Brussels (which we bought our macarons)

We also visited an art museum.
There's a lot of museums in Brussels, this was chosen by random LOL We got tired walking and I saw a huge posters with lots of words on it, which has a small FREE WIFI so we entered XD
 This place is called BOZAR(?) or maybe the current event is called so. Had a great time here looking around, should be quite a popular one. Bought a postcard here and contributed to their graffiti wall.
There's a huge QI by me and a small girl that I drew which resembles Caroline in ParaKiss. 
Have fun finding in it!

That night we rushed to the airport since the last bus was at 1030pm, spent the night in the airport before flying off at 7am the next morning. The weather was quite cold, around 9-11 degree celsius(?) Was cold shaking but there's still people there with sleeveless and shorts 6.6

This is mini Zoe aka Homeless no.2 squeezing in a small bench XD 
Btw Homeless no.1 is me which is too huge to squeeze, ended up can't sleep and took this pic XD

This will be how I'll remember Belgium in the future <3
It's a city with a pace I like, the type of city that I hope to work in the future, a city that has mind blowing waffles and a city that has two of my favorite things, choco and beer.
Will be back again in the future, hope that time I'll be speaking the language! See you when I see you!!!
