                I arrived at the concert venue around 11:30 A.M. The stadium wasn’t packed with fans (since they all swarmed Central World where Jae had his press con) I didn’t go to the press con because I wanted to buy the merchandise. It’s a good thing I did what I did because some of the merchandise were limited, for example the badges, the slogan towels and the shirts. The booth opened around 12. It was scorching hot by the way and I’m the type to sweat easily. All and all, I bought all the merchandise (since the hoodies wasn’t available – I saved my money for that T^T) I waited for my Thailand friend, Margie (I call her Mook) since I bought my ticket through her. My seat was in zone AL row D number 2. The seat was far from stage – yes but!!! It was a lucky seat :D

                Mook came around 1 but at that time I had my lunch, so I met her around 1:30 PM. Thailand’s weather was nice but it’s too hot for me to be out (even in Malaysia I rarely go out if it’s hot – I’m a winter, aircond-16-degrees-even-when-raining-at-night, wore-thin-layer-jacket-to-someplace-below-negative-degrees type of girl). After collected the ticket, we chatted for a while and she was so sweet. She’s nice and pretty, I swear. She didn’t managed to buy the badges so I gave one of mine (since I bought 3 lol) and in return she gave me a wrist band wore for the mourning of their late king, King Bhumibol Adulyadej. We chatted for a few more minutes and then went our separate ways – I went to collect the free gifts and she went to meet up with her friend.

                I was with 3-4 more other Malaysians (who’s also okay with Yunjae stuff). First gift I got was from an Iran (?) TVXQJYJ fansite. Then it was so hot, we retreated under the tents. We waited until 2:30 or so to continue and collected more gifts – glow in the dark wristbands, balloons, Jae’s pictures, Amouryunjae’s gifts, AACassiopeia’s gifts, TVXQFichome’s gifts etc. I didn’t bought any unofficial merchandise though. We waited until the gate opened around 4:30 PM. We went inside at 5, after we met a few tlist – Jo and Ria. The securities were strict, no greens are allowed! Yayy! My friends and I went separate ways and istg the stadium was so cool inside. I was on the even level – meaning I was directly on the same floor as the stage – and I was looking around (because no friend, sad life) when a loud step startled me. I almost cursed whoever did that! I turned around and it was ANJJANG! XD The stadium went berserk and my friend said he went up to the sound crew and hid behind the staff (even the staff was applauding his entrance lol) and he went back to backstage quickly. My Parkinson hands betrayed me when I almost didn’t get to take a video of him, glad I was able to.

                Around 6, the concert started and the crowd went wild. The vcr showed and Jae came in with One Kiss. Argh!! He was so good! It was like listening to the album version of it but it was 100% live! Then he had his opening ment – he greeted the fans in Thai and obviously the fans went crazy because HELLO ITS KIM JAEJOONG >< Then the ritual changing on stage – he wore a gold jacket and the crowd went nuts. Jae just standing there with a big smug on his face and thanked the fans for the reaction (?) IDK he said thank you after changing lol. Talented Rocker Kim /applause/ after that it was Luvholic. He asked the fans to stand up to the song. During the song, the fans crowded the extended stage and so I ran all the way back to where Jae was to enjoy his performance lol after that we were forced to go back to our seats. After that, it was Kiss B rock version. I can’t remember what happened! His iness blew my mind. What remember was I was jumping and singing along to the song. After the song ended, he showed us a scar he had (AND IT WAS NEAR HIS NIPS I JUST DIED THERE WTF KIM JAEJOONG?!) I can’t quite catch what he said because he was speaking so fast (and I was awestruck by the nips and tattoos lol) He kept on pointing at it and I just… He sang Rotten Love and I swear the emotions he had in his eyes was just so real I couldn’t help but though of Yunho lol His eyes was so sorrowful I choked on my tears (not literally). As soon as Let the Rhythm Flow started, I cried like crazy! It is one of my favourite songs of his and I just can’t. This song reminds me so much of DBSK and (this time for real) I choked on my tears, I saw nothing but mist. I bet the guards were all weirded out by my quick change of emotions – one time I was running and jumping, the next I was crying with so much force my shoulders shook so hard. AND I CAN’T HELP IT WHEN HE SAID TEXU I JUST SHOUT TVXQ I DON’T CARE ANYMORE. During this performance too his eyes were so painful to stare at. Then the VCR started to show, I just broke down. I felt so guilty for leaving him and the boys after the lawsuit but nevertheless he said thank you for waiting and he loved us so much I just can’t. Even right now, as I recall it, the guilt is still there. I shouted my sorry so many times, my voice was hoarse and the tears flowed to no end. I’m sorry Kim Jaejoong, DBSK, TVXQ, JYJ. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I am so sorry for not staying with you in your hardest time and leaving you when you need us the most. I’m sorry. No amount of words can make up for my mistakes. I’m so sorry and I love you. I wish for him to be happy throughout his life and I swear I’ll be here for him. Thank you, for loving us – your fans. After the vcr ended, he sang Drawer. During this time, Thai fans organized a fansupport project where the fans sitting on the upper level were to hold up a card that will formed wordings – WELCOME BACK KJJ ♥ I just had to watch his reaction. After I sat myself straight and I stared him throughout the performance – not looking towards the stage but towards the big screen. Then he went on with Love You to Death (another favourite of mine). The stadium was dark at first when he sang, after the song ended the stadium lit up and he saw the words. The words were so carefully placed in the seating, it turned out so well. The wording was so clear and it would be a lie if Jae – who was directly in front of them – didn’t see them. He was so touched, I think he almost cried but decided to hold his tears (if not, I bet the stadium will be a mass of crying mess). He asked whether we organized it and he said it was great (daedanhada) I can’t remember why he said sorry though lol curse my short term memory loss. Then the long awaited dress code started. The organizer photographed the chosen people before the concert started. The pictures were shown on screen then the fans identified themselves. The first one was a group of Thai fans wearing Thai traditional clothes. Then a group of fans wore fruits headband – mango, watermelon and another I couldn’t remember. I didn’t really pay attention during the segment, sorry. Then a fan who was wearing a Cony costume was chosen. Jae said the fan inside must be cute (? I think because I heard the word cute lol) The Cony also won the press con (I think because she was there too). After that, they showed three Vietnamese fans – a man and 2 women – who wore Vietnam traditional clothes. In the picture, the guy had both women on each side of him and Jae commented the guy must be famous (because he got two girls next to him lol istg kjj is so cute ><) Then he asked whether they were friends but I couldn’t hear their answer, sorry (they were holding an A4 sized banner with sentences in Korean, I guess they wanted jae to read it but he didn’t) He said sorry for not going to their country and hoped they enjoyed Thailand. Moving on the next one, they showed 3 fans – 2 was quite wuipungdangdang – and Jae asked them to pose the same way they did in the picture. Jae enjoyed it lol he’s such a cutie. He joked saying they should have come there by boat (idk kjj is so random lol) Next one was a fan wearing Thai traditional clothes with a pink wig. The thing was he thought the fan was a boy when in actually the fan was a she! He was spinning around, embarrassed and said his sorry. He bowed 90 degrees to the fan for misunderstanding her gender. He was so sorry and in the end he said thank you. After that, the fans were in my zone, right in front of me! But sadly my face wasn’t captured (damn you cameraman! I’ll make it in next time). There was this one fan who wore an elephant costume – it looked as if you are riding an elephant kind of costume – and she gave Jae the costume. Since he couldn’t ride on any elephants but his family did so she said it was for him lol. He was so reluctant to wear them, he put it on very slowly and the costumes was supposed to inflate but it took a long time. So he took it off very quickly and promised to upload it on SNS (STILL WAITING KJJ!) He said this is a concert not a fan meeting lol. The fan (with elephant costume) was in my zone next to the extended stage and just next to me (since I’m sitting at the far end) there was a couple of fans holding up a Yunjae blanket. The blanket had a picture of Yunho presenting to a shy KJJ. It looked so real! Istg I love them XD They (all the fans) were chanting his name (probably pressuring him to wear the costume lol). Then he ended the dress code segment and sang Blame. I couldn’t take this song seriously after he said he wrote this song from Hiro’s perspective. Then he sang Run Away (my number 2 most favourite song) and hearing it live was mesmerizing but I think he sang the wrong lyrics (the order of it was wrong but he kept his cool and went on to sing the song) or did he did it on purpose to cut the song short, idk. I couldn’t remember when the stage rise up, but it did lol He was so high up, he looked godly-like (I shouldn’t be saying this though lol). After that, the stage went down and he disappeared inside. Then it was the band introduction and per usual Youn Jae Won got the loudest screams from fans (because of Yunjae lol istg this people) All That Glitters played and it felt so magical, so dreamy – I love it. While listening, I noticed Sicsic was walking by and I waved at him but he didn’t wave back T^T Cold hearted man! LOL kidding. Breathing played next – we fans were sitting and enjoying the concert and I sang along with him. During this song, I felt so connected with him – breathing together with him inside the same place at the same time – it was an eleven years dream come true (the only time I’m happy to be an adult). After that, it was the vcr (I couldn’t hear jae’s words clearly though T^T only bits and pieces were understandable. I’m afraid I will write the wrong translation for it, I’ll just skip it) Welcome to My Wild World played and the crowd got up to jam on to the song! And then it was Good Luck. The energy was riling up, all were charging their hype-ness during this song. I was dancing so hard to the song, waving my light stick in the process, occasionally the guard would slipped by me to stop fans nearby from filming a video but I DIDN’T CARE IMMA JAM AND I WILL JAM. The light show was spectacular istg and on with the next, long waited song – Good Morning Night! We were jumping like crazy! I think that was like a whole year worth of exercising crammed in a single night lol I was singing and jumping, can you imagine just how tiring it was! Goodness jae, where did all your stamina came from? And his adlibs were superb! Tired as hell but vocal is still beautiful, wonderful, not affected at all. Around this time I think his makeup melted because I saw the stache on his face lol KJJ WHY YOU SO CUTE?! The song ended but obviously the fans wanted more. He asked did we had fun and the feeling of this was nice and played the verse again! I jumped so hard my calf muscles started to hurt. The verse ended then he said it would be pity to end this here and played the verse again! Around this time he was just yelling out the lyrics lol Goodness his adlibs can revive me from the dead. He asked was it fun and said the only words foreigners know is HANBEON DDO (once more) LOL KJJ AND SO WE ASKED FOR MORE. He sang the verse again! FANS PABO MR KIM! AND SANG THE VERSE ONCE MORE I WAS HELLA TIRED THIS TIME BUT CONTINUED ON JUMPING FOR KJJ.  He collapsed after and I screamed for one more time! He asked aren’t we all hot and we said no. He said I’m hot and asked again whether we are hot or not and again we said no. WE WANTED MORE MAKE US HOT KJJ MORE GOOD MORNING NIGHT! We wanted 10 more but he said he’ll do 2 more. He said the male fans to shout out for the desired times they wanted to play (I’m not sure about this though) after that he sang the verse again and per usual I jumped around again, waving my light stick. And he sang the verse again, I jumped around as I sang, changing my light stick to my left hand. AND HE SANG IT AGAIN FOR THE UMPTEENTH TIME AND I JUMPED WITH BURNING SENSATION (in my muscles). He was panting hard right about now. It was time for GOOD MORNING JAE and he said to practice – he sang Good Morning and we shout out Jae and he chuckled! Cute cute cute cute and he said we did well. He said he’ll lip sync for this part and asked us to sing instead and he really did! So I sang as I jumped as I waved my light stick then he sang the verse again! (I know we sang the verse so many times already lol) BUT I DON’T CARE I WANT MORE ACTUALLY. Now, Good Morning Night ended for real lol He asked whether we were hot and we said yes. He said Thank you in Thai, Korean and English RAWR HIS THANK YOU SO MUSH IS SO CUTE >< He wanted to take off his red jacket but the fans screamed so instead he tried to zip it up many times but failed lol clumsy hands? Idk but take the hint please jae, you are supposed to take them off XD He asked how long has he haven’t visited Thailand. They fans answered minus the time JYJ came to Thailand. There was a confetti stuck in his hair, he didn’t notice it at first but he gradually tried to run his finger through his hair but the confetti won’t go away so instead he did this hair flip and I swear the whole stadium were swooning, screaming their heads off because of that. His smug face is clearly evident. After that I couldn’t catch what he said because I was on the verge of collapsing lol when the fans screamed I just ignored it. He said something about wanting to come to Thailand in the next 10 years (?) and asked us to be healthy so we can meet later. And advised us to apply sunscreen (maybe bcs the weather in Thailand idk man I was hella tired around this time lol) I think he said the next song will be the last and so Mine played and I head banged and jumped around and sang the whole song. Even after countless Good Morning Nights and a talk, his voice never wavers – he sang with the most beautiful voice with no hint of tiredness. I waved my light stick along to support him, not showcasing any tiredness for him. After the song ended, we shouted his name (for encore – I’ll protect You obviously) After shouting for so long, he came out with BUTTERFLY (MY NUMBER 1 FAVORITE SONG) GOD I LITERALLY JUMPED OUT OF MY SEAT TO JAM ON – HEADBANGING, WAVING, JUMPING WAS A NORM WHEN I LISTEN TO BUTTERFLY lol THANK YOU KJJ FOR PERFROMING THIS IN THAILAND WHEN I’M THERE I CAN’T THANK HIM ENOUGH LISTENING TO MY FAVORITE SONG LIVE AND GOD HIS ADLIBS WERE SO GOOD I REALLY REALLY LOVE HIS VOICE. After the song ended, you could hear him panting, he said this is the first time he did Butterfly during his Asia tour. He avoided performing the song because it was hard on him – the song took too much of his energy but he decided to perform it in Thailand - shows how much he loves his fans >< Aigoo this man, really. How can you not love him when he showed us so much love? And he said the next song would be the last song and thank us for coming to the concert. As usual, the fans shouted our discontent for the ending (since we don’t want the concert to end T^T I DON’T WANT THE CONCERT TO END DAMN IT) He talked long as if it was the last time (it was time to end the concert) and then he started to sing Just Another Girl. We got up again to jam on. I swear by this time, the tiredness went away, knowing fully well I won’t yield to it this time). The snow like white stuff shoots out and it was so beautiful! The fans chanted his name again, since I’ll protect You haven’t played just yet. I’ll protect You instrumental played and the screen showed the lyrics in Thai and Korean. I read the Korean part while holding onto the banner for the second fansupport project written ‘Will always be here’. Then Jae came out, wearing a black ribbon on his chest and sang to the song. (The ribbon is worn for the mourning for the passing of Thailand’s late king and the fact that he wore them in Korea, in Thailand and back to Korea was touching for his fans. He even changed the usual red merchandise to black) He asked us to join him in a sing along – he sang the first few verse and we continued on. We did this twice T^T. He saw the banner we held and he was beyond touched. He asked are we for real when we promised to be beside him forever and he said he’ll trust us T^T T^T T^T T^T T^T T^T T^T He sounded so sincere when he said I’ll trust you. Like he really really trust us and didn’t take it as lip service. Then he continued to sing the song until the end. Now, I’m crying T^T I promise to be with KJJ – for you and the other boys too. He said thank you in Korean, Thailand and English and again, his thank you so mush is so cute >< He said let’s meet next time as soon as we can! And when he bowed, I got up and bowed to him too – thanking him for the great time I had because of him. I wish I’ll remember this night forever. I saw anjjang and sicsic walked by the stage again!

                After that, my phone battery died (because I was recording the whole concert, it was a ty fancam though since I ignored it and went off to enjoy the con lol). I searched for my friends and I saw sicsic again and waved again at him only to be ignored. Then anjjang came and it took me a while to register he was actually escorting the Kim family. So I met them again twice that night. We wanted to wait for jae but I guess my luck was emptied out >< Never mind. I had my fair share of joy that night. I met Jae, I met sicsic, I met anjjang, I met his family and I met awesome new friends. Let’s meet again, Kim Jaejoong :D
