Currently in London... The climate is so $%!#@!@. So cold out in the open and yet, their metros are hot as hell...
Ain't in a good mood actually... Worried. For Super Junior. Bad news just keeps popping up about them. And it just seems to keep getting worse and worse. I am really afraid they might disband! T_T
If that happens, i think i am going to cry really badly. I just watched their recent performances, mostly on the Christmas special stages. And for the song It's You', Teukie took over Heenim for his part as he was not performing. I don't know why, but i got very emotional when Teukie sang finish Heenim's part.
Four members were missing from the stage that was meant to be occupied by 13 members.
Kangin - suspended from any activities till the end of the year due to drink-driving.
Kibum - Not participating in Super Junior activities due to his acting carrer.
Hangeng - MIA due to his contract issues with SM Ent.
Heenim - MIA without reason.
The most worrisome is Hangeng. He is currently suing SM Ent. for an unfair contract. So SM Ent is not allowing him to perform with the group. He has 6 reasons for suing the company:
First, the accusation argues that SME was the dominant party in signing of the contract and thus it was written in their favor. When the contract was first signed in January 2003, Hankyung was only 17 years old and he did not have sufficient information on the Korean entertainment industry. Two updates made to the contract in February and December of 2007 were also led by SME and Hankyung had no choice but to accept what was offered by SME.
Second, the length of the contract is 13 years. When the contract was first signed, it was to last for 10 years after the release of Super Junior's first album. After the two updates, the length was extended to 13 years. The contract would last at least until December 2018, when Hankyung would become 34 years old. The contract extends automatically when Hankyung takes break for personal reasons, so the actual length could be much longer than 13 years. The accusation calls this a great invasion of Hankyung's basic human rights.
Third, the contract enforces heavy financial punishment in case of a breach of contract, preventing Hankyung from seeking release. If Hankyung was to breach the contract and move to another entertainment company, he has to compensate SME for 3 times what they invested in him and double what he would have earned for SME during remaining period of the contract. The accusation argues that this makes it impossible for Hankyung to leave SME.
Fourth, the terms on rights and division of responsibilities are unfair towards Hankyung. SME is responsible for vague tasks such as "management of the artist's popularity" and natural tasks such as "notifying the artist of new schedules". On the other hand, Hankyung is to follow SME's decisions without question and without having any rights for adjustment of the contract, making the contract unfair for Hankyung, according to the accusation.
Fifth, the contract made Hankyung overwork. He was forced to pay $10 during his training period for his first offense of being late, being absent, disobedience etc. and $20 per offense after. When he could not be contacted for more than a day, SME was given the right to null their contract. After his debut as a member of Super Junior, if his disobedience resulted in damage of less than $5,000 to SME then he was to compensate $5000; if the damage exceeded that amount then he was required to compensate for whatever the damage he caused. He had no right to present his opinion on any matter, and was forced to follow SME's instructions at all times. The accusation says that Hankyung has lost his confidence due to these reasons.
Due to the fifth reason, Hankyung has not been able to rest for a sufficient amount of time since Super Junior's debut. The accusation argues that he hasn't had a break for last 2 years due to his busy schedule. Because the contract enforces heavy financial punishment and automatic extension of the contract length, he had to continue performing in poor health. According to his representatives he suffers from gastritis and kidney problems resulting from high stress, as well as back pain and exhaustion. He frequently asked for a break due to medical reasons but they were all turned down, the accusation claims.
Sixth, he was not given proper rights regarding profit and products of his performance. Rights to all songs and albums belong to SME, even if the song was written by the artist. Profit division was favored towards SME; in case of albums, Super Junior received 2% of the revenue only if the album sold more than 50,000 copies, for digital sales they received 10% of the net profit; for revenue from overseas they were given 60% of net profit. Album sales meant nothing to the artists as 2% of the revenue was divided among 13 members. Digital sales and foreign income were given to artists only when profit was made, allowing SME free from risk of losing money, according to the accusation.

This is so much like the trio from DBSK. JaeJunYoo all sued SM Ent. for the unfair contract that they were bind to. ARGH. I seriously hope this would turn out right, and that i would be seeing Super Junior with all 13 members back on stage together performing.
I know this is late, but dear Santa, please, i haven't been a very naughty kid. Please don't let them break up, please all all the members of Super Junior, Leeteuk-Heechul-Hangeng-Yesung-Kangin-Shindong-Sungmin-Eunhyuk-Siwon-Donghae-Zhoumi-Ryeowook-Kibum-Kyuhyun-Henry, be fine and healthy forever. Please don't let them shed anymore tears of sadness. I swear, if everything turns out right, i will be a good kid next year. Please!!
Super Junior fighting!
Please fight with courage till the end, and let nothing pull you down.
ELFs are by your sides all the way.
The new year brings hope, as Kangin, the father of the band would return, and when you have a pillar of support in the family, everything should turn out great. Teukie can then take a breather.
Merry (late) Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Two down, three more exams to go. Argh.
My head hurts... Its been hurting for some time already, i don't know if its because its been so long since i studied so hard. My brain cells cannot function properly. Or maybe i am sprouting some brain tumor. Sigh. These headaches are making me cranky. Boo.. So forgive me if i get irritated with you.
Maths would be approximately 8 hours from now. I seriously HATE maths. Freaking irritating. I don't get the freaking concepts, and i find it freaking hard to remember all the different formulas. ARGH. Had a 5 hour tutorial today (yesterday technically) on freaking maths. 5 freaking hours, and i still end up back at square one.
I mean what the hell. I did so many sums, so why is it that the methods cannot stay put in my freaking head?! 3 topics. The freaking test is just an hour long, and they test us on three topics. Topic 1 is do-able, since it's on mean, mode, median and stuff. Did before so i think i can manage. However, topic 2 and 3 are killers. I mean seriously!
Topic 2 is probability, you might think, hey! its just probability. But heck, the lecturers don't allow us to use our secondary school methods, and want us to use the new 'tertiary' methods. But hey! How are we supposed to use the new method if we don't freaking understand it??? And topic 3, seriously, WTF.
What the hell is Central Limit Theorem?? Why the hell do we need to learn Confidence intervals and shit like that?! Freaking headache inducing much? T_T I can't wait for the exams to be over, seriously, i feel as though my brain is getting squeezed empty of information space already! The constant throbbing ain't helping either.
I know, i know, since i am complaining so much, why the hell ain't i studying? Argh, my head hurts and i am getting damn pissed off at my working. I can't seem to get the correct freaking answers! 5 hours of my life was wasted on a stupid subject i can't seem to comprehend even after many tries. God damn it...
I wish the exams would end quickly... Three more exams, two more days of mugging. Hell. I wish i could go for Seoul'd Out and just enjoy the sweet beautiful music. This would be TWICE i missed Kpop concerts in Singapore. TWICE. The last time i missed a kpop concert was last year, i had a FREE ticket. 2PM was there, with ALL the members. All 7. And i could not go because of stupid exams AGAIN. I missed the chance of watching all 7 members together.
I want to go and sleep... But i highly doubt i would... Seeing how i haven't even finished a single paper for maths... Shit.
Wedding Dress by Taeyang is freaking sad... I hate the ending... Its a really nice song, but i hate the lyrics. I prefer happy endings...
Having a bad headache now... No idea why either.. Argh... Must have been because of this afternoon when i was watching my brother play gta. =[ It must have gotten worse after needing to read those articles for the stupid csas test.
Damn, the articles' fonts were like size 8. And we were given pages full of them, no double spacing ( i wish). Argh... And reading those tiny words for an hour and a half sure did me no good. My neck and head hurt right after the test was over. Crapiness.
Just finished doing to practice papers for Bmic. Hmm, i could answer most of the questions. I just hope tomorrow's paper would be just as fine. A lot of the questions were give-aways. Like the drawing of the microorganisms, and the different parts used for motility. Plus there was one question in the practice paper that was 'List two infections/diseases caused by any class of microorganism.'. A freaking give-away question. Oh how i wish it would come out again! =D
I re-watched 2PM's 10 out of 10. Haha! Freaking funny!!! xD Junsu was so cute! xD He was so dorky in the MV. Hahas, and i never knew Yoobin was a cameo in the MV. Hahas.
Shit. Junsu is freaking cute! x] I can't stop looking at him. Hahas. I'm so sorry Teukie!!! Its just a phase, which would be over soon (I hope)! Somehow, Junsu is like cooler as in, more stoic version of Teukie. Especially in
Heartbeat, Junsu looks freaking handsome with all his
I don't give a damn about anything anymore looks. =D
But when he smiles, he is so good-looking. I tell you, i have something for nice smiles. Seriously. xD Teukie has a captivating smile and now Junsu has such a enticing smile.


See what i MEAN?!!! ARGH.
My stupid second sister. She was like 'I'm going to tell Leeteuk. Fickle. I am going to tell Leeteuk!'. Hmph. As if she isn't being fickle when she is seeing Hwang Taekyung behind Wheesung's back. xD
Yes, i believe the Poon sisters are all too imaginative and have their heads way too high in the sky to have a firm hold of reality. Hahas x]
I AM GOING TO TELL WHEESUNG TOO! FICKLE!!!! xDD
4 more days to the 'Limin's House Stay'. Which means the end of exams! 5 more days to Seoul'd Out... T_T I won't be able to see the FT Island boys nor will i get to see BEG. Sigh... This is so saddening.
Ever heard the Red Light Mix for
Heartbeat? It is nice, sounds rather acoustic-like. But it isn't. I don't really know how to describe it, but yeah. Go search for it or something if you have the time. The songs i introduce are nice okays. x]
Time to head off and study again. Need to memorize the nutrition for the various microorganism and the physical conditions that are most suitable for the different microorganisms. Plus, i still need to clarify my doubts on the Carbon Cycle and the Nitrogen Cycle. I still have no idea what the two cycles are about. Bleh.
Crap. I just remembered, tomorrow is gonna be a very long day in school... T_T Right after the exams is Ms Chew's remedial for Maths... 10am-6pm. ARGH. I hate being weak in maths... It makes me incapable of enjoying a little free time off. Bugger.
Okays i had enough break time already. Time to return to the books (or should i said papers?). Hahas. See ya people! It seems, that even though its the exam period, i blog every night! Hehes, i need a break now and then too right? =D
Bye bye!
~.~
Its time, oh my.
Its getting so damn late, i hate it how i never feel the urgency of things until its too late.. In a matter of hours, i would be sitting in the lecture theater, forced to open my script and write. Exams, oh exams, who was the damn fool who invented exams?
Crap, i need to go off and bathe... The familiar feeling of an upset stomach full of butterflies is back. Argh.
Park Jaebeom, Kim Junsu,
Nickhun, Ok Taecyeon,
Jang Wooyoung, Lee Junho
Hwang Chansung, 2PM!
Weird dream yesterday (since its past 12) morning. Very weird.. I don't remember the whole exact dream, but i do remember seeing my eldest sister and Junsu. Hmm...
Exams start on monday, and guess what? I just started studying only. Just. Like an hour ago or something... I am so dead. Do you know how to spell dead? It is spelled as J-O-E-Y.
Spent the entire morning out shopping with my mum and second sister. We were shopping for water-resistant boots, as my eldest sister said that it was gonna be rather wet in Europe and sneakers or sport shoes were all gonna get drenched easily. My mum and i got our boots today, they look alright, but i find them a little pricey. Might be because, i would rather spend the money on Super Junior merchandise...
Like the Super Show 2 CD!!! I wanna get it!! 27 SGD! Damn cheap, and the pre-order ends on the 10th. But i won't be able to meet Weier to pass her money if i order from her now.. Exams are next week, i can't possibly go all the way to clementi to pay her 27 bucks right? Even if i really wanted to, my guilt would not let me rest if i did.
5 papers. I really hope they would pass real quick! Each paper except for CSAS is only an hour each. Therefore, as soon as i finish the paper, i can rush straight home or to the SAR (most likely) to study. Except for Tuesday i guess, since i would be most likely having extra remedial lessons from my CP to help us in Maths&Stats 2.
Monday - CSAS 2 4pm-6pm
Tuesday - BMic 9am-10am
Wednesday - MSt 2 9am-10am
Thursday - HPI 9am-10am
Friday - CellB 9am-10am
Saturday - Seouled Out!!!
I wanna go for Seouled Out!!! T_T But nobody wants to go with me... Hmph... Gelly keeps ignoring my messages both sms and msn... Gboo backed out last minute, and Sujan finds it a waste since she likes only BEG. The others are just not into Kpop.. Bugger. Hongki!!! Jonghoon!!! Minhwan!!! Jaejin!!! Seunghyun!!! I won't be able to see the FT Island boys...
Haiz... Need to go and sleep already.. A long day of studying (hopefully) tomorrow. I need to rush Bmic and HPI. I shall leave the rest on others days. =[
See ya.
