My 93rd Shutter: Off to Singapore!

Love with a Shutter

 

 
Finally the day has come for our departure to Singapore!
 
Two days before the concert, we left South Korea, B2ST oppadeul , BtoB oppadeul , some of the Super Junior oppadeul and SNSD unniedeul came to send us off.
 
It would be really more than a month time before we could see each other again.
 
 
 
 
DongWoon gave me a hug and said, “Be safe and I will miss you.”
 
“Ne.” I said.
 
 
 
KiKwang gave Chae Rin a gift and then said to her, “Wear it and treat it as though I am with you.” He said.
 
It was a titanium bracelet.
 
 
 
 
JunHyung gave Soo Ah a gift as well, it was a rose in a glass bottle, “Stay safe, rest well and do well on stage. Call me whenever you want to, if I am busy at that moment, I promise I will call you back.” He said.
 
“Ne arrasso.” Soo Ah said.
 
 
 
 
 
We went in shortly and soon, we were on the plane flying towards Singapore.
 
“Unnie, MinHyun oppa will be coming to watch out concert right?” Soo Ah asked.
 
“Ne, oppa and his university friends would be coming.” I said.
 
“We shall meet oppa after our concert, is that okay?” Chae Rin asked.
 
 
 
 
 
Rachel unnie was sitting beside Soo Ah, “I gave approval but it is best that MinHyun comes to the hotel.” She said.
 
“Ne arrasso unnie, I will inform oppa about it.” I said.
 
 
 
The plane finally touched down and we arrived at Changi Airport, Singapore.
 
There are MyStiCs welcoming us, we are pretty shocked to see them but still on the other hand, we were really pleased.
 
We smiled and waved at them before we left. The van drove us to the hotel and we prepare ourselves to get ready for the practice later.
 
 
 
 
 
There was breakfast provided and so we had our breakfast and changed into suitable clothes before arriving at the dance studio to practice.
 
We started with singing practices first and then the dance practice with the dancers.
 
 
 
Lunch time! I suggested Rachel unnie that a store sells really delicious chicken rice.
 
She agreed to it and fulfilled my wish.
 
“Komawo unnie, jeongmal kamsahamnida.” I said.
 
“Enjoy it then, don't feel too stressed out over the concert.” Unnie said.
 
“Ne, arrasso~” We replied.
 
 
 
And the best thing of visiting Singapore is that, there wouldn't be a need for a translator to be present as we are all fluent in English. 
 
“Girls, later on, there's some work regarding the Fan sign, I would need to settle it first and, you girls should first sign a batch so that it wouldn't be all in a rush.” Rachel said.
 
“Ne, we shall slightly sign some of it tonight then.” I said.
 
And then, practices goes on.
 
 
 
 
 
We had a little time to shop awhile during the evenings and we went to Ion Orchard.
 
Rather risky but, worth the risk.
 
 
 
We bought some new clothes and accessories.
 
“Unnie, igeo jowayo?” Soo Ah asked, she saw me staring at a necklace for really for long time already.
 
“It looks nice but..” I like it however..
 
“Bissayo?” Chae Rin asked.
 
*Translations: 'Bissayo' means expensive*
 
 
 
“Ne.” I replied.
 
“It's up to you. However, if we stay here any longer, we would definitely be attracting attention.” Chae Rin said.
 
I made the decision to leave and not buy that necklace.
 
“Unnie, meogeosipeoyo.” Soo Ah said.
 
*Translations: Meogeosipeoyo means 'wants to eat'*
 
And so we went for dinner at the Manhattan Fish Market.
 
 
 
I am glad that people didn't recognize us and we could have our meal at a quiet corner.
 
“Unnie, have you called MinHyun oppa to say that we arrived?” Soo Ah asked.
 
I nodded, “I didn't call though, it was so late already but I sent a text message to him last night.” I replied.
 
 
 
 
 
We finished our meal and went back to the hotel on our own.
 
Calling the van over would be too obvious.
 
“Rachel unnie, we are back.” I said.
 
Unnie wasn't in the room, guess she had some work to do.
 
 
 
“Oh?” That was a pleasant surprise, “Oppa?” I saw oppa standing by the window.
 
“Min Ah.” Oppa turned to look at me and smiled.
 
 
 
 
 
I went to give oppa a hug, “Oppa, when did you come here?” I asked.
 
“Just awhile ago. Have you girls had your dinner?” He asked.
 
“Ne, we had our meals, MinHyun oppa.” Soo Ah said.
 
“Good. The concert is tomorrow isn't it?” He asked.
 
“Ne oppa, oppa eottheokae? I am feeling nervous.” Chae Rin said.
 
“Girls, just give it your best. I believe Rachel noona spoke to you girls saying that, you girls does not need to be stressed up.” MinHyun said.
 
I nodded, “Ne oppa, komawo.” I said.
 
 
 
And then.. the concert is now, going to start in 3..2..1!
 
*Boom*
 
The music blasted, 'Mythology' was the first song to be performed!
 
The loud drums, greek ancient sounding music and then, Soo Ah starts her rap!
 
 
 
"Hello Singapore! We are MyStiCal!" Soo Ah said and then started her rap.
 
And after this song, we moved on to the second and third song.
 
 
 
 
Then, we had a break whereby we have a short chat with the fans.
 
"Hey Singapore? How are you doing? Do you enjoy the performance?" I shouted and asked.
 
 
 
 
Cheerings, fans waving their light sticks in their hand, it was really a sea of Amerthyst.
 
"It's really good to be able to be here tonight with all of you, don't you think so?" Chae Rin asked.
 
We recorded a video specially for our fans in English and it was shown on the large screen.
 
 
 
 
"Annyeong~ MyStiC! We love you~ Saranghae~
 
It's really good to be able to be here to see all of you, although not being able to see you all up close but I do hope you all will come for the autograph session!
 
We hope you all would enjoy the performance today and also, Sarang juseyo~
 
Please continue to love us even more because, we really love you!" I said.
 
 
 
 
"Ne, Saranghaeyo~ *did a heart with her hands*
 
I am really excited to be meeting all of you and as you can see, this is the dance studio, where we just ended our dance practice.
 
Without all of you, this concert wouldn't be made possible and we won't have the chance to touch your hearts with our music as well, jeongmal neomu kamsahamnida!
 
I do hope everyone could be able to come for the autograph session tomorrow as there will be many fun games to be played. So remember to comedown to Novena Square 2!" Chae Rin said.
 
 
Soo Ah is now with the camera,
 
"Annyeonghaseyo, MyStiCal's Cool Rapper Maknae Shin imnida.
 
Finally, it's our first ever concert. Like what Chae Rin had mentioned, We won't be able to have this concert without you MyStics.
 
Thank you for all your support and care!! Please continue to support us!
 
We will continue to improve on our music in the future! MyStiCs, I love you!"
 
 
 
 
And then, we continued with our performance.
 
The concert with us singing 'On Rainy Days', well, this song made us known to be pairing with B2ST.
 
 
 
And then, good times will have to end, the concert ended and we went back to the hotel.
 
We got to sleep early so as to prepare for the fan-sign session tomorrow.
 
The next day, we had a light breakfast and the autograph session was scheduled to be at 3pm.
 
We went out with oppa on his car to Marina Bay.
 
 
 
 
 
Had a tour up there in the Singapore Flyer and we took pictures.
 
I am glad that it was a clear day and we could see everything really clearly.
 
And then, we went straight somewhere near Novena to meet Rachel unnie at 1330pm.
 
We then arrived at the place meant for us to make our preperations.
 
 
 
 
By 2pm, the whole venue was already packed and the guards even had some hard time to control the crowd!
 
The whole shopping mall was crowded with so many people.
 
We were rather shocked at first.
 
 
 
 
And by 1445pm, we arrived at the venue, "Unnie, Why can't we go out now?" I asked.
 
"Let's just start at 3pm then." Rachel said.
 
"Geureondae.. Unnie, there's so many people out there, how many posters do we have?" I asked.
 
"There's 5000 prepared, but I guess you girls shall just sign for 3000 then." She said.
 
"Unnie, waeyo?" Soo Ah asked, "5000 then 5000, why must we decrease the number? It's unfair." She said.
 
"It will take a long time to finish. We plan for the event to end by 5pm today." Rachel said.
 
"5000 posters is 5000 posters." I said, "Unnie, this is our first event and it's in my Mother's hometown, can I request that we lengthen the time for this autograph session?" I asked.
 
Rachel seems a little troubled, "Fine, I will talk to the organiser. You girls hold on." She said.
 
 
 
And then, it was 1455 and we went out to greet everyone, "Annyeonghaseyo, MyStiCal imnida!" We said and bowed.
 
We sang 'Twinkle' and then, we got onto our seats and prepared to start the whole autograph session.
 
Unnie told us that the organiser would give us 1 more hour.
 
 
 
 
 
We signed 1000 posters already for those who bought our albums and that would be a specially designed ones.
 
The queue went all the way out of the shopping mall and stretched all the way out along private estates.
 
The weather was really hot today and we were really worried about our fans out there.
 
 
 
 
 
After the 1000 fans who received the special edition poster, we started signing the 'normal' posters for those fans who queued for us and some even stayed overnight to get a good place.
 
We received fan gifts, fan letters and also, we made some exceptions for little children to take pictures with either one of us.
 
 
 
And then, a very special fan appeared.
 
She was on the wheelchair, slowly, she appeared in front of our sight, I noticed her paused the whole fan-sign for awhile and went down to meet her straightaway.
 
"Marianna? Why are you here?" I asked, Marianna is a girl who belongs to an association where I volunteered before.
 
"Min Ah unnie, I am here to support you. Mummy too." She said and her mother was beside her.
 
"Auntie, I am so glad to see you." I greeted and said.
 
 
 
 
 
Chae Rin and Soo Ah already prepared a signed poster and an autographed album by us to be given to Marianna, we presented her with the gift.
 
"Marianna, Auntie, could you two take a seat by the side, we could have a small talk after the whole event." I said.
 
And then the whole fan-sign continued.
 
 
 
Well, as expected, photos, videos of me with Marianna as well as the rest of the members were uploaded onto the net and we gained recognition for being 'Kind'.
 
We signed all 5000 posters! Just in time but still, we felt sorry for the fans who didn't get the chance to have our posters.
 
We had a short chat with Marianna and her mother before we went back to the hotel and took a break.
 
It was really a tiring day, our fingers are numb.
 
We took turns to bathe and rest.
 
 
 
 
 
I on my laptop and saw the pictures taken today.
 
Also, I checked for updates of  Korean groups.
 
 
 
 
 
HyunSeung oppa's birthday is coming tomorrow!
 
We called him and video chat with him when we are about to have our dinner.
 
Oppadeul were all taking their breaks from work as well.
 
 
 
Individually, we then later called our partners.
 
KiKwang phoned Chae Rin first then I got my call, Soo Ah got her call right after mine.
 
We had our private time chatting and then, we would have to be in bed by 12 midnight.
 
 
 
 
We would have to be moving on to Malaysia! Before we leave, we said goodbye to oppa.
 
This whole tour would be going over to 8 different countries!
 
 
 
 
 
We had a much more overwhelming response at Malaysia due to a bigger population.
 
It was a autographed fan given to the fan on the fan-sign session and we played interactive games.
 
 
 
Next, we went ShangHai and BeiJing where Chae Rin and I practiced our Mandarin there.
 
Then, we went Thailand. I knew Thai as I undergo language lessons and I was able to converse a little so we had a translator with us.
 
Then, it was Japan. We had a really fun time there and Ayumi Hamasaki appeared as a special guest!
 
We had 3 concerts held in Japan.
 
 
 
Lastly, we went to Australia and Paris.
 
And finally.. we ended everything.
 
We would be arriving back to Korea tomorrow!
