TVXQ 2007 - Behind The Scenes

OK, here is the last compilation of pictures for the TVXQ 2007 tour in Malaysia. These pictures were taken days before the concert showtime, i.e., the stage setup time, the crew at work and the last few pics of the concert.

Though I was there with them at "Dao Rae" (the korean restaurant but not sure of the spelling) after the concert for the celebration party, no photography was allowed there. So, I just ate and ate, with my camera nicely tucked in my bag!

Attacked In Broad Daylight

Today marks the first time I am physically attacked in broad daylight by snatch thieves. I was having lunch at Old Town Kopitiam, the Cheras outlet opposite Taman Midah. I frequent that place almost like once a week and never expected an incident to happen there. Here is the story...

-

After lunch, I walked back towards my car, parked about 200m away from the Old Town Kopitiam. Everything seemed normal, the heat, the people, the traffic and the cars, etc. But as I was approaching my car (about 20 feet away), I saw a motobike approaching from the other direction opposite me but didn't suspect anything. When I reached my car, I also saw the bike making a u-turn just behind me but still, I suspected nothing. As I turn back to open my car door and getting ready to enter my car, a hand came from my behind and gave me a 3-fingered scratch on my neck. I was slightly pushed forward and saw the same bike (with a pillion rider) speeding away from me.

-

Nothing was taken away from me and at that point in time, I still did not realise that a snatch attempt was attempted. I went back into my car, closed the door, started the engine and saw the same bike driving off with both the riders showing me their third fingers!

-

After a minute or so, I manage to restore my senses after the fast shock, and finally now, come to realise that I have just been attacked by a snatch thief. They were trying to snatch my necklace (I wear a gold necklace with a cross). They failed to get a grip on the necklace and instead scratched my neck.

-

What surprises me was how they managed to see my very thin necklace from afar which was partially covered by my t-shirt, especially when they were riding on a bike! I must give them fullmarks for accurately spotting my necklace but a "fail" for failing to succeed in their attempt.

-

Without doubt, I know God protected me. He always does, whether you know it or not.

TVXQ 2007 Concert "O" - Rehearsal

Alright, the pics we have all been waiting for...for over a year liao! Yes, I know they are all way overdue. But due to unavoidable circumtances, I had to delay the release of these pics. I hope the situation is now "safer" for me to show them. Nevertheless, I am still at huge risk here! Putting my head on the chopping board. Haha... Hope you guys love them.

Spread the word, let your other TVXQ fans and friends know, cause I don't know how long the pics can stay here. Cause I don't think I am allowed to show these pics. Anyway, do drop tones of comments at the comment box and make the photographer a happier fella! Your positive remarks, feedbacks and support here will also help me promote more pics when or if I am questioned by the Korean artiste management company (no need to mention names here, I am sure you guys know who I am taking about). Thanks!

[NO UNAUTHORISE USE OF THE IMAGES ARE ALLOWED] This blog alone is bad enough. Haha... :)

Here we go...fasten your seatbelts!

TVXQ 2007 Concert "O" - KLIA Arrival

OK, here they come. TVXQ arriving at KLIA for the 2007 TVXQ Concert "O" show. Hundreds of fans (maybe even exceeding a thoussand) mainly females (if not all) stormed the VIP Arrival Hall of KLIA patiently awaiting for the boys to come out. But all hell broke loose the moment they (the boys) stepped out, starting their 2-mins walk journey towards their waiting Toyota Alphards. They were then promptly transfered to the concert venue, Stadium Merdeka for their rehearsals. Police outriders were deployed for the KLIA-Stadium Merdeka journey.

Here are some pics.
