D.N.A bottled water

There were some new merchandise at the 55555 D.N.A concert and amongst others were these two D.N.A bottled water. And this sucker bought them both lol!

Escape to Kaohsiung

Last weekend's trip to Kaohsiung was my second time there. There has been much changes since my last trip. The Kaohsiung MRT is now up and running. Four years ago when I was there, there were massive construction for the MRT. Getting around is now easier with the MRT. Wahey I've even got my limited edition Kaohsiung D.N.A MRT card ;)

It's winter but it was blazing hot in Kaohsiung! We Q-ed for hours in the sun to purchase the limited edition D.N.A figurines and some of us actually got sunburned XD

During our 3 day trip, we got to do a fair bit of sight-seeing, all thanks to the Mayday passport book that required us to collect Mayday stamps from various spots in Kaohsiung. It was fun! (just think Kaohsiung mini version of the Amazing Race lolz)

we got all 5 stamps!

We went to Dream Mall to get Guan You's stamp. There's a Sanrio themed ferris wheel at the mall's rooftop which offered free rides to Mayday fans (how cool is that?!) Just flash your 55555 concert ticket and you'd be entitled to two free rides.

Masa's stamp was located at Love River and Ashin's was the easiest cos it was located at the MRT station where the 「創造55555人」concert venue is [World Games Stadium 世運主場館]. Hunting for Monster's stamp took us to a little island called Cijin, which we had to take a ferry to get there. It's a sleepy fishing island famous for cheap seafood. Too bad we didn't have time to sample the food. Next time maybe.

The last stamp we got was Stone's which was located at the Lotus Pond. I vividly remember the place cos I'd been there years ago. It was the place with the tiger and dragon pagoda.

last pitstop - Stone's!

Once we had collected all 5 stamps, we made a quick stop to Stay Real to redeem the free pin badge set. We arrived at Stay Real Kuchan before it was open at 2PM and there was a massive crowd right in front. The Q was so long that it had spilled into the street! O_O I have never seen such a long Q outside a clothing store.

a round Mayday Monopoly anyone?

Back from my KL-Taipei-Kaohsiung-Taipei-KL trip :)

Before I get into the 55555 concert (which by the way was great), I wanna do a quick post on the Mayday figurine set because it's so AWESOME! This is the set that's limited to only 2,000. A big thank you to Jen and Doris for Q-ing up at 7am. We were 3rd in the Q haha

I had no idea till we saw the sample set at the merchandise booth how big the box is. It's HUGE! And I didn't know until I bought them how heavy they weighed. It's friggin' heavy - weighs almost 4kg. The MRT station was some distance from the stadium (there were no cabs >.<) so by the time I walked to the station lugging them, my arms almost fell off LMAO!


Once I had a look at the contents of the box, I was in awe. This is the coolest and most awesomeness merchandise I've ever seen. Very very impressive! It's a custom made Mayday monopoly board game.


And check out the figurines - they look soooo adorably cute!!!! There were two versions - all black or the colour one (as pictured above)

They are really well made - they look sooo good! I cant wait to find room to display them in my shelf :D

Mayday monopoly! now how COOL is that??

D.N.A live CD out today!

Greetings from Taipei ;)

I finally got my D.N.A limited edition commemorative card yesterday.

Off to pick up the D.N.A live CD later in the morning.

500th post

Today is the first day of the last month of 2009.

And this marks my 500th post!

2 days to go and I'll be off to Taiwan - yay!

The merchandise list for the Kaohsiung concert is now out - looks like I will be cashing out at the merchandise booth on the special limited edition stuffs o_O I just hope there won't be a massive queue for the limited edition, and most certainly not an overnight queue! That'd be mad.. but then again you never know how crazy Taiwanese fans can be *shudder*

looking engrossed or lost in the game?

meeting NFL's big boss who didn't know they were a band and thought they were from China o_O

The program is about 30 minutes long. I've been dying to watch this ever since I read news about it :) I was hoping to hear them speak English but all I saw was a couple of lines hehe. Ashin was particularly funny in this part in the video below: "hey hey hey you you you you you..." "this is for you.... this is also drummer"
