went to Petaling Street, CM to buy KATTUN's DVD with my sarangae.I didn't planned at all to go there in fact but can't wait to watch KNS.Hehe.Finally I'm finished watching KNS.Arghhh I love Kame. Kakoi!!! Even I didn't understand at all about wine but its kind of interesting to know about it. :) and looking at Kame who is able to act as the heir of wine from his late father.I love you Kamenashi.Zutto!
Big Bang rocks my world!!

First time I heard about Big Bang was from my online buddies. They told me that Big Bang has great songs!! But I didn't take her words seriously. But I dunno, while buying KATTUN's DVD at Kota Raya;me without thinking much bought the Big Bang DVD. Just imagine!! I've never listened their songs before but I bought their DVD.Hehe.Gosh!!!

After arrived home~take my bath and Yata' it's the time to watch the DVD that I bought. I will never ever REGRET it. This what can I say after buying the Big Bang DVD.They have great songs,They can sing well!!

However there WAs a funny story act about me ~ Big Bang.

Before watching the concert I did Google them. Read about them in Wikipedia and searched for their images.I read lots about GD aka G-Dragon.Have crush on him since I heard that He's the talented one and joined the YG Entertainment for long time together with Sol.Compared from other members like TOP, D-Lite and V.I both of them seems like 'sunbae' (senior) at YG Entertainment.Haha.The funny story is I love GD~the name but the pics that I love is actually is TOP. Its not my fault since I am newbie!! When I searched for GD's images there was one of TOP'S image went out so I thought that the TOP's pic is GD.Baka ne!! This happens because when I searched for GD, I didn't care about other Big Bang's members so I dunno about other four member's name.Hehe.Still, when I watched their concert when the translator wrote TOP for the Big Bang member that I love and GD IS anyone else I still can say to my friend the translator is wrong.Haha,Pabo!! Actually the pic that i searched which I love; it is actually TOP's.Confused? Hehe. I love TOP.
Haha ~Handsome.Kame's clone~ I thought He (TOP) is the same person ~GD at first sight.Hehe.However GD is magnificient!!
