I am a Malaysian but I am also a Kpoppers...

Dear Bloggers,
Today I have to apologize for any harsh words after this.. I am very sorry.. Its just that i saw this article and i just gotta say what is in my mind.. Just a reminder that what is said after this is actually just an opinion of a Malaysian which is also a Kpoppers and an avid music fan..

The Article goes like this..

K-POP 'Satu Pembaziran' - Zed Zaidi | KEMARAHAN Presiden Seniman Malaysia (Seniman), Zed Zaidi atau nama sebenarnya Rozaidi Abdul Jamil berhubung bayaran kemasukan artis Korea pada Perhimpunan Sejuta Belia, pada tahun lalu ternyata berasas.

Pernah mempertikaikan jumlah bayaran hampir RM2 juta hanya untuk persembahan tiga kumpulan K-Pop (U-Kiss, Teen Top dan Dal Shabet), Zed akhirnya terpaksa 'menutup mata' setelah Ketua Setiausaha Kementerian Belia dan Sukan pada ketika itu memaklumkan ada penaja yang menanggung perbelanjaan mereka ke sini.  

Bagaimanapun, laporan Ketua Audit Negara 2012, kelmarin, yang mendedahkan perbelanjaan itu sebenarnya ditanggung kerajaan dengan kos RM1.6 juta hanya untuk membawa masuk tiga kumpulan K-Pop itu ternyata mengejutkan industri seni.

Menurut Zed, tindakannya itu ternyata berasas apabila sudah terang lagi bersuluh ia adalah satu pembaziran dalam program berkenaan.

“Bayangkan dengan peruntukan RM1.6 juta, KBS ketika itu boleh membayar kepada kita-kira 1 juta artis Malaysia.

Malah peruntukan RM1,000 untuk penyanyi solo dan RM3,000 untuk berkumpulan untuk artis tempatan juga boleh dinaikkan jika mereka ada peruntukan sebanyak itu.

“Ketika saya mempertikaikan dahulu, wakil KBS beri alasan tindakan mereka bawa artis Korea adalah untuk menarik belia dari kaum Cina. Tapi pada saya, mereka sepatutnya mempertaruhkan artis Cina tempatan untuk persembahan, apatah lagi, artis Korea bukannya membawa budaya yang elok.

“Malah, sepatutnya kerajaan sendiri mengutamakan artis Malaysia dan saya sokong tindakan KBS yang sudah memansuhkan kemasukan artis Korea dalam program belia selepas ini,” ujarnya kepada Zass.

Zed berkata, Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah (SPRM) sepatutnya boleh mengambil tindakan terhadap mana-mana pegawai kerajaan yang didapati membelanjakan wang lebih daripada yang sepatutnya.

Menurutnya, ia bagi mengelakkan pembaziran dan bagi industri seni sendiri, ia dapat membantu lagi memperkembangkan industri dan membela nasib artis tempatan.

“Saya sokong keberanian Khairy (Khairy Jamaludin)  yang berani mendedahkan masalah dalam kementeriannya sekarang dan bertanggungjawab dengan perbelanjaan sebanyak itu biarpun pada ketika itu dia belum  lagi menjadi Menteri Belia dan Sukan.

“Sebagai menteri, beliau telus dalam menjalankan kerjanya dan ketua sebeginilah yang kita mahukan sekarang,” jelasnya.-sinar harian

Pendapat
Once again, menyalahkan artis luar. At least artis kpop itu menegaskan budaya sopan mereka apabila off stage. Kalo nk ckp bwk perangai buruk, orng kita artis/ tak pun ad jugak buruk baiknya. jgn nk asyik tuding jari pada orang lain kalau kita sendiri pun serba kurang. Kita kene balance sikap patriotik n open minded kita. Negara kita juga kaya dgn budaya sama mcm negara Korea tu.. 
Saya akui ad jugak budaya pakaian artis Kpop itu mmg terdedah tp itu krn ia mengikut demand pemint mereka..Lagipun kalau nk ckp pasal budaya pakaian, sy seuju dgn komen diatas.. Rakyat Malaysia juga ada yang berpakaian begitu dan pengaruh nya juga bukan shj dtng dr Kpop tetapi budaya barat.. Jangan lupa itu..

Kenapa kita nak kutuk negara korea yg merupakan salah satu negara Asia tp kita worship negara Barat yg sbnrnya lagi teruk pengaruhnya? Takde bende yang sempurna dlm dunia ni.. Mereka dh trng2 dilahirkn kafir mmglah begitu budayanya..
Bab kutuk mengutuk ni.. semua ada minat masing2.. Everyone got their own taste on music and unless you want them to judge the songs or artist tht u like, please respect other's opinion and jgnlah pakai tuding jari pada orang lain.. 

Mengenai Artis Tempatan vs Artis Korea..
Artis korea/.artis Malaysia.. all ada yang bagus dan yang x bagus. Ada je Artis Korea yang menyanyi sehebat Siri Nurhaliza, bezanya x semua faham apa yg mereka nyanyi. Kita kn mahukn negara Malaysia dikenali di mata dunia sbgi Malaysia yang unik, tp step pertama utk maju adalah tengok bagaimana budaya lain. Amik yang bagus n avoid yang buruk. baik buruk utk semua orng lain.. 

Situasinya sama mcm program pertukaran pelajar antara satu negara ke negara lain. Kita hntr pelajar Malaysia ke luar n mereka hntr pelajar mereka ke sini..kita masing2 mempelajari budaya lain. Tak salah amik tahu. Xdelah digelakkan atau diperbodohkan bila kita dapat peluang untuk mengharumkan nama Malaysia di mata dunia. Saya pun nk membawa nama Malaysia ke mata dunia.. tp kene sedar.. Nak mencipta nama harus bermula dari bwh n maju keatas, dikenali, dihormati dan disegani oleh negara2 lain. 
Malah orang barat pun hormat pd negara Jepun & Korea.. Why? sbb walaupun artis Kpop mereka menari dgn style mereka yg seksi ttp bila mereka melawati negara2 tersebut, mereka didedahkan dgn budaya negara smpikan mereka terpesona dgn budaya tersebut. Malaysian sume pun mesti ada cita2 utk jadi begitu kn? Sure, negara Korea x sama mcm Malaysia.. sbb negara kita ada keistimewaan sendiri.. 

So.. dont be too close minded. Kita boleh jadi moden tp masih memelihara budaya kita sbg orang Malaysia. Jadilah mcm JinnnyBoy(cari nama mereka di Youtube) n tgk bagaimana usaha mereka memperkenalkan Malaysia ke mata dunia.. Ramai orang asing menonton video mereka n memuji negara kita yang berbilang bangsa tp masih hidup aman.. Mereka moden ttp masih memperkenalkan budaya Malaysia sprti mainan tradisional, sekolah di Malaysia dan sebagainya.. Saya bangga menjadi rakyat Malaysia bila menonton video2 mereka.

Apapun.. itu hanya pendapat saya. saya bukan belajar tinggi..saya hanya seorang manusia biasa.yang lahir dan tinggal di Malaysia.. Saya bangga jadi rakyat Malaysia.. Jadikan budaya kita kebanggaan kita di mata dunia. Setiap orang ada minat berbeza, jgn sbb minat atau hobby berbeza membuatkan kita bergaduh.. saya suka bila tgk Rakyat Malaysia tgk bola di stadium..sebab ada semangat kesatuan disitu bila kita sama2 cheer for the team..Itu shj dr saya.. maaf jika terkasar bahasa.. Ia hanya pendapat ikhlas dari saya sbgi seorang rakyat Malaysia..

One Crazy Day with Da Bestie!

Hello bloggers! How are ya?

Yup its me again.. who do you expect? Lee Jongsuk? Get outta here!

Haha.. Kidding..

Anyway, there's some interesting and hilarious moments after  my exam paper was finished.. Damn.. at one faithful day,26th of Sept, Thursday is the day of my last paper, the customer service..

It was after the paper that i met her when she decided to spent  a day together after a long time not hanging out... So we hang out and surprisingly its raining heavily that day..

Dang it!

Obviously...

Anyway, she picked me up around 2.00, ( I think! :)) and with the heavy rain, she drove us to our usual hangout spot, Sunway Pyramid! haha.. We went to eat at one of our fave restaurant, The Ko Hyang restaurant.  She has Yuk Gae Jang with rice and some banchan while i had Soondubu Jiggae with rice and some banchan..

Then, we get to talking, about all things that happen while we are not contacting each other. Turn out that there's more to tell.. so the talk is like a kedai kopi conversations.. Oh well, we are besties, no hiding anything okay!

So after eating, we began our day while touring the mall. We went from up to down and up. We went inside the shops like Etude House. Damn! that shop is pretty..eventhough it looks girly..

It's a must for us to go to the Asian area which called Shibuya area..U know..where all the clothes are Asians and Kpop songs are booming here and there. Oh man, good time..

She was looking for a head bands while i was looking at some things new. We even stop by a gift shop which sells antique stuffs from Korea.. Man.. I was aiming for the Korean Pomegranate body and skin care but I didnt bring tht much money that time..so.. frustrated a bit..

Then, we go downstairs and get some ice cream.. Man! Ice cream is so good when u share it with someone.. eating ice cream while walking.. Reached the LG floor and we sat on a spot and started to take selcas for memories!.. Love that moment..

We then head back to the parking lot..Its already sunny outside.. She drove back to Aeon Bukit Tinggi for a movie..

Now, this is where the part got interesting...

So, we stop by the gas station and i went to pay for the gas at the counter while she waited at the car ready for the signal from me to fill up the gas tank.The gas station dude gave us a look and walk away.. who cares..

Then, she start the engine..
She started to say "Ah~ A&w.. Ada drive thru ta?"
She drove and i saw the drive thru and say "Tu ada drive thru.."
She responded while taking a peek.. "Kenapa, drive thru dia jaoh giler kat blkg"
I said.. " Err.. entah.."
She responded with a sigh "Ah.. Biarlah.. dh lepas pun.."

She drove and we were talking about some things and laughed. Then, she hit the brake

"La.. knp aku masuk lane motor ni?" She said..
"La.. hahaha.." We both laughed hard and she started tp reverse the car. There a several rider looked at us weirdly..

"Da.. xyah ler pndg2.. ish.." I said from the car.. Its not like they hear me.. There are even a guy that was on the bike with a guy, stole glances at us, with weird ecxpression..Man! We must look so weird..Yeah..Its not everyday u saw a MYvi car tries to went to the motorcycle lane..hahaha..

Best day of my life~~ It was a historical moments.. man!

Haha... the moments.. Dang it! ahahaha..

Then we watched a movie named The Grown Ups 2.. I did make her laughed her heart out watching that movie.. haha.. its not everyday i cn see her laughing..

All i can say is, eventhough its only for a day.. It feels like the hours are long and we spend it like it should be.. I wish our friendship will last forever. Your friendship keeps me going strong.. You understand me and i know you too.. I want to be with u when u are happy and sad..

You are my best friend... Thanks for believing me and making me ur best friend.. :)

Well, thats all for now, gotta hit the sack now. I just thought tht i must write this memories to share to you all on what amazing friendship we have.. :)

Gotta sleep now! Chal Ga yo.. Anneyong Jumuseyo~ Oyusuminasai! Goodnight! Selamat Mlm.. Salam..

Heart ripping, tears dropping.. story of my life~~

Hello evryone! 

Its been a while since i update this blog. Its getting dusty and dust bunnies roam in my blog.. Shoo!

Anyway, a lot have been happening in this semester..

Well sad to say that.. things that i expect to happen never actually 100% happen. Why is that?

I am not close to my usual college friends anymore. U know, the usual friends that i usually spoke about during my past blogs..

Yeah.. those people..

I am not all sad,(well, at first i am duh!) but as time passes and i started to drag my life alone and live like evryone else, going to classes without my cliques, doing the so unfeminine stuff that i usually hides from people at college, dress up like normal people with natural makeup and stuff..

Yeah... people treat me like i expected,, like a shit! Oh yeah! I curse.. who cares? its my blog.. if u all know i will never curse unless it really effect me deeply,ok?

Oh well, no use of whining now. I just have to move on.. But now i know what people really see me as..

They want the old, pretty, feminine me.. not the new me they see,which is partly what i really am..\\

A rebellious, out spoken,smart, standing up for whats right, care less about what people said-kind of girl..

But no.. they said i changed..

At first, it really kills me.. I cried almost everyday thinking of why they never really understand me although they have been with me since Semester 1. Then, i remember what my bff and sister used to say..

"You can never trust someone too much unless they have shown their real self to you" I quote.

Oh well, i know about tht now.. Too late though..

Oh well.. (sigh)

But its not all sucks.. oh no.. Allah is fair and everything Allah did he already have a plan for us..

Eventhough i lose friends that i thought were dear to me.. Allah replace them  with new friends that I met in Culinary Design A class. Yeah..

Their Name is Dilla and Zira.. They are as crazy as i am.. If i add my bff into this too, it will be a havoc group!haha..

They are so loud, crazy, out spoken etc and most of all, understanding.. I guess i hv a soft spot for these kind of people..

They have been with me and support me and make me happy in every situation. Zira was always the one who cheers up the situation. People who didnt know her would say she is loud and rude but they misunderstood her. She just being realistic and spoke her mind for whats right..

Dilla on the other hand, was like an older sister to me. She protect me and treat me like a good person. I helped her and she helped me back. She loves to karaoke and she is as crazy as i am..

She suit herself to every situation..

Oh well.. thats part one of a last weeks of this semester story.. I'll catch up with some more stories later ok?

I gotta hit the sack and my eyes already that heavy.. see u all next time!

Good bye.. Assalamualaikum..Sayonara, Anneyong~

The longing, the missing and the comeback

Today, August 19 at exactly 11.35..

I was writing something on paper when suddenly my phone rang, indicating that a message just came in..

I checked it and all of a sudden my heart beats fast and I felt tht all those days I've been searching and missing her were finally answered when a text with her name on it appeared on the screen of my phone saying "Wa'alaikumsalam,  I am back dear! "

I quickly go through my contacts and dialled her number. Waiting tone after after tone with anxiousness, someone pick up the phone and the next minute the cheerful voice that I hv been missing and worrying was heard from the other side of the line..
Suddenly my eyes welled up and slowly a couple of tears escaped from the corner of my eyes... not a sad tear but a tear of joy.. even just for a split second.. because there's no way I am letting her talking to me on the phone while driving. . So I told her to text me when she arrived home..

After she hung up, I was thanking Allah for keeping her safe although I haven't seen her or talked to her for some time. . I would be devastated if something bad happens to her.. because she is one of the important things in my life beside Allah,  my dad, my late mom and my sister. Losing her would've be as painful as losing my family..

Shoo..shoo.. all the nightmares I have been seeing in my sleep. . There also days where I wake up n realised tht my pilow is wet from the tears of missing my bestie. 

But now..I can finally hear her voice and meet her.. oh! You have some explaining to do.. jgn lpe story mory okay?

Dapat aku merasa bagaimna hidupku jika my bestie was not here with me..

People keep stating the pain of missing your boyfriend or your lover but I experience the pain of missing my best friend and now the missing and worrying is over. .because she is back! my BigbangLovers' s best friend who close at heart with Gdragon. . Ira Marlia. . :)

P/s: you got a lot to tell me bestie! :)

Be My Princess CHAPTER 1-

THE NOBLE ENCOUNTER

KRRIIINNGGG!!!!!!

AHHH!!!!!!  BAM!!

The sound of someone fall from bed was heard from upstairs..

“Ouch..” Annabelle, who was sleeping, fall down her bed after hearing the bell

Footsteps soon been heard walking towards her room. 

A few minutes later, her door opened wide revealing a black hair girl with papers on her left hand and a brown hair girl wearing an apron, both with a worried expression.

“What the hell happen?” The black hair girl asked. She puts down the paper in her hand on the coffee table and sat beside the confused blond hair girl who was still sleepy to realise what happen.

“Wha--? Hey, Jasmine,Hanakimi.. when did you come in.?.” She looked beside her and grinned.

Jasmine’s eyes narrowed at Annabelle who seems woozy at the time. Hanakimi went in and pick up the pillows and bolster that lying on the floor. She shook her head when she saw pieces of paper with drawings on it scattered on the floor.

“Like five years ago. Are you okay? You looked wasted.. Did you drink last night?” Jasmine said as she looked at Annabelle who was trying to get up.

“Me? Drink? No.. I stayed all night coming up with new designs for the company. “ She said as she landed herself on the bed, still feeling sleepy.

“Still, you had to sleep or you’ll get sick.” Hanakimi puts all the papers on her desk and sat beside her.

“Yeah… you know what happen when you have lack of sleep.. You’ll get crazy all day and talk to yourself.. Geez..” Jasmine said while walking towards the window and open up the curtain, revealing the beautiful sight of Amethyst in the morning.

“Yeah..yeah.. stop yelling at me, grandma.. I know what I am doing.. I am a big girl now..” Annabelle felt annoyed and grab the towel.

BAM!!

She closed the door harshly.. leaving Jasmine and Hanakimi stunned by the loud bang from the door.

“Man, she is damn angry..I better heat up some pancakes to cool her off..”Hanakimi said while scurried down to the kitchen.

“Whatever.. I need to finish arranging these account or I will not be able to sent it tomorrow..Man! it would be better if I have my own business, so I wont have to face that scumbag everyday!..grrr…”

Jasmine closed the door and went back to her room.When she heard they both are out from her room, she started singing in the shower..

That is exactly happen every morning in this apartment when these three have their day off. Riot as ever.

Annabelle with the usual waking up late routine,

Jasmine with her habit to sleep early and wake up early to finish her bundle office 

works.

Hanakimi..well, she actually never taken a day off. If she did, she might be busy finishing order of pastries that her clients order from her for some special occasion.

How do these totally different people met you asked? Well, they were best friends since high school. Sure there will be some fights here and there, big and small but they eventually find a way to solve it.

Annabelle, she is a 25 years old girl who works as an apprentice designer at Polish company. She is a very cheerful girl with a mind of her own. She have the talent to come up with new designs every day but some of her works were never seen as a work of art because she was a newbie in the industry.

Hanakimi, she is a cheerful and outspoken 23 years old, girl who works as a part time baker on the weekdays and attending orders for her clients on the weekends. She has her way with food. She is a fast learner on that area. She used to wake up in the morning and watched cooking show with her mom on the weekends when she was growing up.

Jasmine, she currently works as an accountant at Prima CO where she was a junior accountant, who is being pushed around by the senior accountants doing their works for them. She was feel depressed, luckily she have her best friends every time she come home so that she can let it out even though she was always open to talk about feelings unlike Annabelle.

Yup, three different person with completely different personalities become friends, why.. its not impossible you know?

Hanakimi POV

“Ahh!!!! So glad to be on vacation, away from the babbling mouth of Maria..” I heard Annabelle who was already pulling her luggage from and yelling her so called freedom..

“Would you knock it off? There is a lot of people here,” I said, while fetching my own luggage. Annabelle was being surprisingly thrilled of this trip. Not that Jasmine and I aren’t excited as she is but she was exceptionally crazy today.

Maybe Maria did pissed her off that much..

“ Her? Knock it off? Seriously, its Annabelle we were talking about here. Throw her over a cliff and her voice still be heard from miles away..” Jasmine said, while walking beside me.

She seems a bit messy with her hair all over the place. Her bun was not a bun anymore, more like a ponytail now.

She seems to be struggling with a big bag consisted with files. I told her many times to not do other people jobs but she still did. Oh well..

“Yeah! Vacation!!woohoo!!”

Oh no.. she never stop isn’t she?

“Don’t get too excited, dimwit. We are here for vacation and work. Remember?” I said to her as we arrived at a hotel called Charleston Hotel where we will be staying. Well, working with big companies have its advantages thanks to Annabelle.

A week before

“Girls, I have a big happy news for all of us!” She said as she walks in, yelling from the front door into the living room.

“Let me guess, you hit a jackpot with a rich guy and about to take us on a vacation.?” Jasmine said, her eyes still focused on the television. I was just walking out from the bathroom after a day of work.

“No, I don’t get any rich guys as my boyfriends. Yes, we will all be going on a vacation!” She jumped on the couch where Jasmine was sitting on. Jasmine sits up, irritated by her shrieking voice.

“What?? Really? Where are we going? Hong Kong Disneyland? Who is the generous people who will be supporting our holidays?” Jasmine said, being sarcastic.

“Oh shut up and let me explain..”

Jasmine and I looked at each other and nodded.

“Okay, my manager have been signing a contract with a company for this huge event in Nobel Michel Castle. He is looking for caterer and event planner for that event. “ She said, eagerly.

“Wait.. Nobel Michel? That huge and legendary castle on a lone island and surrounded by the six legendary kingdom around it??” Jasmine shot up and startled us with her deep knowledge on the matter.

“Oh wait. Do you mean THAT Noble Michel? Where the annual food fiesta were held every year that displays a variety of food all over the world??”

My eyes were shining..

“Errr..yeah..uhm.. Anyway, what do you say? Go or not go?” Annabelle said while looking at over excited Jasmine and I.

“Hell yeah I am going! There’s no way I am letting this moment go to waste..” Jasmine said with eager eyes..

Well, that is one week ago. She doesn’t seems to be that excited now. Talk about mood swings this girl have.

After waking up the next morning, we all went to have breakfast at the hotel’s Café.

“Girls, I just have to say this. The rose tea is amazing. I think it is the best tea that I ever tasted before.” I said to them while having breakfast.

“Usually, I hate tea but I like this particular tea. It has a bit..what’s the word..ah! uumph.. as you say it..” Jasmine agreed with me on tea being so delicious.

“Don’t you mean magnifique?” I took another sip of the tea, feeling the aroma of the tea seeps into air.

“ Whatever.. Its damn delicious..that’s it..”Jasmine said and got up to get more croissant..

“Hey, when are we meeting the peoples for the event?” Annabelle was so busy looking at her phone that she didn’t realised that I am asking her a question.

“Annabelle…? Hey..” I looked at her again, her eyes were so focused.

“OH MY GOD! I cant believe this.. Oh my! Oh my! OMG! OH my.. urmm..”

I was startled when she suddenly shouted like a mad person.

Gees, she need to stop doing that! Long before I am about to shut her mouth, Jasmine came and stuffed her mouth with cream croissant, causing her to stop her yapping.

“W-ehat ther?” Annabelle said behind all the croissant stuffed in her mouth by Jasmine who came back from the buffet.

“ that  is for yelling like a mad man. Next time, I will slap your face..for sure..” Jasmine snorted, sitting down.

Well, Jasmine is a hardcore girl, I’ll give her that.

“Really, Annabelle, you startled me . Thank God I did not choke on anything or I have to be hospitalized on my vacation.. Geez..”

“I am sorry. It’s just that I was so excited to see the pictures of these fine men.” She shoved her phone to us.

However, before we can see it, someone called her phone. The name “Manager” was displayed on the screen.

“Hey, your boss calling you..Answer it..” I said. Annabelle quickly pulled her phone and take the call.

“Yes, boss?”

Before we know it, we were on a limo going to the Noble Michel castle to meet the sponsor of the event. With us is the CEO of  Quid Quo, Miss Cynthia.

The sight of a castle came to sight. We were flabbergasted by how amazing and beautiful the castle.

“Oh my..” I was in awe.

“Oh..!”

“Don’t..shout.. “ Annabelle looked at Jasmine who was gesturing a slap motion with her hand.

“Beautiful isn’t it? There’s no castle in the world that could beat that beauty in sight.” 

Miss Cynthia said while looking at the view of the castle that slowly become visible.

“Incredible.. Amazing and beautiful.” Jasmine responded, also in awe like the rest of us.

“Indeed. U know there is a saying that, if you get married in Nobel Michel Castle, your love will be eternal?”

“Really?” I looked at Miss Cynthia, intrigued by the story.

“That’s what I’ve heard from the elders, but it’s impossible to get married there.’” She sighed.

“Why? It’s too expensive? “Jasmine asked,guessing that maybe money is the problem.

“Price is not the main problem. Only royalty could get married there and as far as I know, unless you are a royalty or one of the six princes from the six countries 

surrounding this island fall in love with you..”

Miss Cynthia took off her glasses and look at us seriously.

“You can kiss that dream goodbye..” She sighed.

Annabelle sighed too, maybe she was dreaming about getting married there too.

“Oh.. I see… That is a pretty impossible dream to catch.. isn’t it?”

Miss Cynthia nodded.

Sensing the cold air surrounding us, Miss Cynthia started to divert the attention to the main reason why we are here.

“So.. Can I brief you girls on which department you’ll be working on?” Miss Cynthia 

reached a file from her bag.

“Oh..that’s good. We can have a head start and know what to expect from the client.” I nodded at Jasmine’s words.

So Cynthia brief to us everything that we need to know. What to expect and what is the event is mainly about.

“This event is mainly a gathering of the six future rulers from the six kingdoms surrounding the island.” Miss Cynthia started explaining.

“ So.. does this event happens annually? Like every year?” Jasmine asked. I was busy jotting down every piece of info that Miss Cynthia gave us.

“Not necessarily, it could happen once every 6 months, depending on how things were between the six kingdoms. So far, the six princes have become acquainted with each other well..” We nodded while writing the notes down.

“ When the event going to happen?” Annabelle asked while taking out a calendar from her bag.

“ Its July 7^th today right? So I am guessing…urm..6 weeks from now..”

Six weeks? Is she serious? Talk about pressured deadline..

“ Six weeks..? that is just around the corner isn’t it?” I asked, worried expression plastered all over my face.

Miss Cynthia smiled, as if she noticed how worried I looked.

“Don’t worry, I will be by your side, guiding you on making this event works. If you need to ask about anything regarding this event, you can ask me anytime..” She gave a confident and trustworthy smile.

I relaxed my shoulder upon hearing those words.. Although, the worries still lingers in side of me whether we can pull this off or not.

The sight of Nobel Michel castle came clearly to our side. The limo slide in the courtyard via the front gate. It stopped in front of a big entrance in to the castle.

If I was flabbergasted by the sight of the castle from a far, I think I would slapped myself,waking up from a dream looking at a fairytale like castle in front of me.

I shook my head and continue watching the castle in awe. I could tell that Jasmine and 

Annabelle was shocked as I am of how huge this castle is.

As we walk inside the castle and arrived what appeared to be a huge foyer. Again, we were in awe. The mahogany coloured walls makes it look so exquisite and unique.

“Amazing.. really..” I said

“You like it? It was handpicked by Sir Michel himself.”

Jasmine, Annabelle and I turned around when we heard the voice.

A tall, dark haired man with a slight smile on his face was standing there with a high class posture in a nice suite and a smile plastered all over his face.

If I haven’t known better, I think he looks like a royal butler or something.

“Oh? Who might you be?” I asked.

“I am Jean, the Royal High Steward. You must be Miss Kim, Miss Grace and Miss Lee who are sent here to help Lady Cynthia to arrange the event?

We nodded. We exchanged look with each other when Jean called Miss Cynthia, Lady Cynthia.

“How are you Jean? I hope things are going well around here since I haven’t have the time to visit.” Miss Cynthia asked Jean.

“All is well taken care of here, like usual. Everyone is busy with the gathering event..” 

Jean smiled at her.

Jean seems to be very close to Miss Cynthia. Do they know each other that well?

If they do, Miss Cynthia must be related to the royalty or something..

“Come with me. I will take you to the lounge room to wait for Sir Michel to come down.”

We followed him into a huge room. There were couches that cost like a hundred Cruz and the view from the outside overlooking the beautiful ocean make it a much more 

lovely view.

Suddenly my stomach started to feel cramped. First day of period cramp..Great.. Just what I need.. Oh man..

Oh.. not now.. Not when I am working.. Geez..

I made my way to one of the couches and sat down to ease the pain. Soon after we all are seated on a red satin couch. We sat down and Jean pour tea into the cups in front of us.

“He will be down soon. Enjoy the refreshment while you are it. “ Jean smiled and start walking to the refreshment table.

We all took a sip of the tea.

“Camomile Tea..” Annabelle said when we sipped the tea.

“Don’t shout okay? You know what is coming..” Jasmine warned her.

I took another sip of the tea and my stomach started to grumble. Maybe I should not drink too much tea while in this condition..

I tried to hold it in but it keeps on grumbling more and more..

“If you need anything, you can just have anything on the table. Excuse me while I bring Sir Michel down here..” Jean bowed and starts walking out.

Jasmine start giving me looks, probably noticing that I am in deep pain or something.

NORMAL POV

“Your Highness, the crew for the event have arrived with Lady Cynthia..” Jean said as he entered the chamber of Nobel Michel

“Very well Jean. We must not let the people wait.. Lets go..” Nobel Michel stood up to walk out from the room when a servant came into his room.

“Your Highness, forgive my sudden intrusion, but did you see His Highness around here? He seems to disappear when I sent the breakfast for him this morning..” A tall, fair skinned guy in gray suit and a worried expression on his face.

“Ah.. Alberto. You’re here? Don’t worry, he will not go far from here. He probably wandering around the castle looking for something fun to do..” Nobel Michel smiled calmly at him.

“Even so..” The guy muttered under his breath.

“Why don’t you try looking at the stable? Maybe he was riding one of the horses?” Nobel Michel suggest to him..

“I will.. Excuse me Your Highness..” The guy went out from the room, leaving Nobel Michel and Jean..

“Shall we go,Jean?” Nobel Michel said, waking Jean from his dreaming..

“Oh? Yes we shall..” Jean opened the door to let Nobel Michel go through it and together they made their way down stairs to meet the girls.

Back at the room, Annabelle is discussing the interior design with Cynthia while Jasmine was whispering to Hanakimi.

“Period cramp?” Jasmine said to HanaKimi.

“Is it that obvious?” Hanakimi’s face went red, imagining how painful she looked.

“Well, not really, but you looked nervous and there’s sweat on your forehead..”

Hanakimi quickly reached the inside of her bag and took out a handkerchief. She wiped 

her forehead. Indeed, what Jasmine said was right. There are traces of sweat on her handkerchief.

“Urm.. Miss Cynthia?” Hanakimi said looking at her.

“Yes, Hanakimi? Anything wrong?” Her eyebrows furrowed looking how flushed she is.

“Could you point me where is the rest room? I think I need to use it..” Hanakimi said while holding her pain.

“ Sure. Go out from this room turn right and walk all the way until you find a purple door. There should be a gender sign at the door to tell you where to go..”

Miss Cynthia said,while feeling worried.

“Do you need me to accompany you?”

“Its okay. I can manage..Thank You..” She said with a smile and then quickly leave the room, leaving Annabelle, Jasmine and Miss Cynthia.

Jasmine cleared her throat.

“Is she going to be fine? She looked in pain..” Miss Cynthia said while exchanging papers with Annabelle.

“Its alright, It’s that time of the month..” Jasmine said, with a meaningful smile.

“Oh ,I see..” Miss Cynthia nodded

“So can you show me the budget and the things needed for the event?” jasmine sat near them while discussing when the door opened up.

They moved their gaze through the opened door. They saw Jean with an older man with a white beard. The old man smile calmly at them.

“Your highness…” Cynthia bowed to him. Seeing this, Jasmine and Annabelle bowed as well.

“ Hello to all of you. I take it that Miss Cynthia told you everything that you need to know?” Said Nobel Michel while sitting down.

“I have told them half what they need to know. The rest I am hoping you could add your opinion to it..” Miss Cynthia said while handing him a piece of paper.

“Oh,, I will.. Let see.. Miss Annabelle Grace, a junior fashion designer. I reckon that 

Miss Cynthia has told you about the design that you need to make for the event?”

“Yes Your highness.. she was telling me about it when you came in..” Annabelle said, controlling her excitement.

“Miss Jasmine Lee, an accountant and part time event planner from Amethyst.. I see..fine country that Amethyst..” Nobel Michel’s tone seem to be a bit down.

“Yes, the country is wonderful. Have you visited Amethyst before Your Highness?” Jasmine asked.

Nobel Michel look up and smile curled up from his lips.

“I had once.. when I was young. So many memories were made there..” nobel Michel seems to be thinking about a memory when he snapped out of it and looked straight at them.

“Erm.. Now..Miss Hanakimi Kim, part time baker and a private chef. Once served Chef Masaharu’s familyfor 2 years before working part time as a baker. I am pretty sure you had a little business going on, am I right?”

His question was left unanswered..

“Oh., Miss Kim goes to the restroom for a while.” Jasmine said,answering Nobel Michel’s question..

“Oh..I see.. Well, let’s discuss something else while waiting for Miss Kim..” Nobel 

Michel suggested. Jean pour tea in the cup in front of Nobel Michel.

HANAKIMI POV

Oh my.. That is such a relief. Thank God the pain is slowly went away, though my head was spinning a bit.

“I better get back to the room to meet my boss..

As I make my way back, I felt as if the room was spinning around everytime I passed by a door.

“Oh.. this is bad.. What is wrong with me?” I hold on to a railing to balance myself from falling.

I was somehow relief when I saw the  door to the room where Jasmine, Annabelle and 

Miss Cynthia were. I opened the door,revealing myself to the people inside the room.

I see the three of them,Jean and a middle aged man dressed in a fancy suit.When I took a step, my head spins like crazy..

“Hanakimi? Are you alright?” Annabelle’s voice rang through my ears.

“Oh-oh she don’t look so good.. Hanakimi!” Jasmine’s voice was the last thing I heard when my vision started to blackens. I feel somebody captured me from behind and 

stopping me from my fall.

The last thing I see was a beautiful amethyst orbs looking worriedly at me. After that it was all black..
