Finally! The long-awaited day is finally here! OMG. The 1-hour showcase is too short! Too freaking short! We were all just getting warmed up when it was already time to end the showcase. T-T

Anyways, you have no idea what Jas and I went through in the morning for the showcase. We were pretty late in getting our queue tags for the free standing showcase. Actually it was Jas who overslept.. >< I came pretty early and waited quite loong for her. The actual time for queue tags distribution was 11am but they gave it out pretty early, at 1045am and that was the time we reached the place. We queued for about 20 minutes with a lot already gotten their tags.

After that, a new queue was formed for the merchandises. We queued for another 40mins to buy the pentasticks (official merchandise- yellow flag to wave during concert) I actually wanted to get the autographed mini-album, but it was pretty expensive… 30 bucks. Now after the concert I regret… sigh.

Okay after that, we had some free time to ourselves before the designated time (1pm) to queue up, according to our queue tags, for entrance of the concert. We had to queue for about 2 freaking hrs as the concert started at 3pm. It was really hot and humid. So tiring.

But when we saw FT Island coming out… yes, all the tiredness disappeared. Everyone screeeeeamed! Duh. And waved the pentasticks! Lol.

Then oh my gawd. I think it was love at first sight or something. When I saw Seung Hyun, I couldn’t keep my eyes off him!! When he took the position in the center of the stage, I thought he was Jong Hoon (the most handsome member in the band, to me) at first. But at second glance I realised it was Seung Hyun, the member who replaced a previous FT member.

Seung Hyunnie and Hongki

HE IS SOOOOOO HANDSOME IN PERSON! SO SO SO HANDSOME!! And cute and just charming. He smiled a lot during the whole showcase. I am so smitten by him~ XD

He was always “just the new guy” for me. When he replaced an ex-FT Island member, I didn’t pay much attention to him. He doesn’t look as good in photos too. I was always looking at the other members and only glancing for awhile at him while looking at FT pics.

But my eyes were like stuck to him and Hongki for most of the showcase. Perhaps also the fact that he was conveniently positioned straight in front of my view. Hongki has always been my favourite so my eyes naturally went to him a lot as well.

Okay after that, during some MC segments, they (mostly Hongki) attempted to speak in English and Chinese. It was so entertaining to watch and so cute of them to do so! Some of them said “My name is…” while some said, “Wo de ming zi shi…”

And then they cracked some jokes in English as well. Hongki was especially hyper on stage. He jumped and did some funny actions on stage while performing. He even got close to some fans while singing, making everyone scream in jealousy! Haha~ Those lucky fans in the front!!

Oh their live perf is really awesome. The guitars, the basses, the drums, the vocals. Everything was almost perfect. I can’t say perfect but really almost. They really know how to make the crowd go high as well.

I feel so weird chasing after boys younger than me. And even weirder to be smittened by a boy who is of my sister’s age!! Ack! Freaky or what?! But heck it. They are artistes. They are suppose to charm fans of ALL ages.

Oh yeah, they really look their age. Jae Jin looked like a little boy holding a huge guitar. Too bad Min Hwan was hidden in the dark corner behind his drums. I freaking didn’t see his face until the end when they came out to bow. T-T Jong Hoon looks as good as I expected him to be… so sexy with the guitar. ><

Anyways, after the concert it was not the end yet. Noooooooooooooo. Because we decided to wait at the only entrance for cars leaving the premises. Hehe. To see the boys one last time.

And my goodness. I am sooo lucky. I stood at the side where both Hongki and Seung Hyun were sitting by the doors of the car. So when their car passed us, I totally could see them so clearly and really upclose. We were just at the curb by the car with no other fans surrounding us so they were in very clear view…

BEST THING WAS… When Seung Hyun saw fans outside the car, he stuck his cheek on the car window while giving a dorky smile!! OMG I screamed when I saw him do that. He is so cuuuute. Why is he a 92’er?! Why so young?! T-T

Hongki was sitting behind SH in the mini-van, wearing white large round shades. I didn’t notice him responding to the fans outside... he was just sitting there in the van.

Yeah well, now Seung Hyun and Hongki are my favs!! I feel bad for always neglecting Seung Hyunnie in the past… X(
Now that I saw him in person, I feel like he’s a sweet and charming person. And he’s a reeeeeally good looking boy.

OMG. I LOVE FT ISLAND! <3

P.S. I added their birth year for fun and probably just to remind me how young they are.

P.P.S. FT Island will be releasing their 3rd album in July! Woohoo~~
