NCT Life In Osaka Episode 13: Revealing NCT's Best Cowardly and Fearful Image!

It’s time to reveal NCT's Best Cowardly and Fearful Image! This gonna be a good episode, not that they have bad episode. Every episode is gold but this one is gonna be gold here and gold there. What I am saying???

 The boys are running to the next destination, haunted house since they don’t have much time and arrived in no time but cowardly Taeyong refuses to enter. Poor Taeyong. Heard that he is really scared of such things. When they went to Thailand last year, he had to make sure Doyoung are in the room every minute when he went for shower. He must be so scared.

But anyway they decide the team to three and who going 1^st. Since Doyoung lost in previous game, he is going alone while Yuta team up with Taeyong and Winwin with Taeil. Doyoung acts brave and says that he can goes in and out without screaming. Yuta doesn’t believe him and hopes that Doyoung gets scared inside.

The staffs explain that they gonna check the number of times they scream and great prize will be given according to their rank. Since there is prize, Taeyong says that he has confidence to do well now. Winwin who is still not good in Korean asks Taeil what the mission again and how to win. Taeil answers him to just don’t scream. Such a good explaination, Taeil.  

Doyoung is confident to go 1^st. Yeah, I think it’s better to go 1^st to relieve all the anxiety fast. How many times will Doyoung scream? Upon enter the haunted room, he is already scared and trembling and jumping up and down and almost curses. Haha. What? I thought you are brave and not afraid of ghost. The rest are disbelief watching him being scared.

But yeah, Doyoung forces himself enter while non-stop talking in Korean. The rest are laughing outside. Yuta says that the ghosts don’t understand Korean while Winwin tells Doyoung to quickly finish it. The moment later they heard Doyoung screams like there is no tomorrow. There is live coverage of audio outside which make the members feel like they’re next to him which make things more fun.

But that actually make the members start to feel afraid. When Doyoung suddenly gets quite near the end, they thought the end isn’t scary but nope, Doyoung scream again and this time louder. It would be a long journey, boys. Yuta is stuttering asking Taeyong to not betray each other and both are agreed to not betray one another. Winwin is wondering the possibility of betraying.

After a while, Doyoung is done and says that it is really scary inside. Doyoung says that was his first time going to haunted house and that it was really scary. He was so scared and started to wonder if he was an actual man in his 20s since he was really scared and screamed a lot that his throat hurts.

It’s Taeyong and Yuta’s turn to enter the haunted room. Taeyong says that they need a concept to go in and both decide to going in manly style and since there are two of them, they are confident that they won’t scream at all. Both walk in like manly guys but start to scamper  when the ghost near the entrance moving. Taeyong is running for his life leaving Yuta in disbelief. Haha.  Unfortunately for Taeyong though, because he is apparently running straight to the ghost lady and his reaction is gold.

Taeyong’s scream can be heard outside which make Winwin and Taeil laughing. Inside, Yuta reminds Taeyong to act manly. Yuta still keeps it together while Taeyong literally loses it. Taeyong tries to calm himself by rapping but ending up scream more. Again, make the rest outside laughing on the floor. Yuta suggests both of them to hold hand and wondering how Doyoung did it alone. Both are not wasting their voice, especially Taeyong. At this rate, they’ll faint. Poor Taeyong and especially Yuta since he has to handle the ghosts and Taeyong. Hahaha.

They finish the mission while dragging their weak body. Haha. They claim that it’s really scary inside. Yuta says that Taeyong held his hand really tight. Taeil is ready to enter but Winwin is not. He is barely entering with Taeil as his shield. As soon as they enter, both are chaos with Winwin pull Taeil back while Taeil resist. Taeil is ready to fight the ghost and with his voice. The rest are calm and having fun listening to the live audio coverage of both. Taeil pretended to be indifferent but he’s the only one screaming. Both Taeil and Winwin start to argue where Taeil yells to Winwin to not pull him and that WInwin is even more scary. Haha. But it can be heard too that Taeil also try to calm Winwin down and actually tell Winwin to hold him. What is that, Taeil? To hold you or not? Winwin says that he might cry and try to flatter the ghost lady in Korean.

Both are scream, scream and scream and at the end of the never ending scream, both are out laughing like  gone mad. Who won the haunted house mission though?

Yuta asks how it feels to enter the haunted house. Taeyong is clearing his throat which enough as answer. Haha. Doyoung says that he thought that he has a lot of fear at 1^st but then realized that he is actually quite better than the others. Taeil tries to explain that he is not scared at all but both Doyoung and Yuta finish him by saying that he screamed the most among them.

Time to reveals their scream ranks. Each of them will get some allowance to buy snacks based on their rank. Taeyong says that if he knew that earlier he would’ve held himself better. 1^st place gets 3000 yen, 2^nd place gets 2000 yen and last place gets 500 yen (that’s are really-really small amount).

The 1^st place goes to Doyoung with only 7 times scream. Doyoung knew that he would get 1^st place since he thinks that the rest screamed more than 20 times. Winwin gives him good cheerful reaction follow by Taeil to flatter Doyoung. Haha. Total kiss-up as Winwin said. 2^nd place with 20 times scream goes to Yuta and Taeyong while 3^rd place with 21 times scream goes to Taeil and Winwin.  

Doyoung is lucky. Being alone actually pretty good advantage. Taeyong is such a scaredy cat. Yuta is manly. I believe he can surpass Doyoung in this challenge but since he was with Taeyong, it can’t be help. Winwin is surely a scaredy cat too eventhough he is not scream much. He is lucky to have Taeil as ghost- blocking shield. If not because of Taeil, he is probably already faint in the entrance, Haha, Just kidding, Same as Taeyong. They should team up them both. It would be epic. Taeil is brave but yeah, Winwin scared him the most. He screams in manly voice and that’s matter.

It was scary experience but the boys having fun and since they already waste their energy and voice, they should go eat and that for next episode. NCT and eating broadcast are fate.

Going Home???

Just talked to my cousin. She is ready to go home and she is excited to go home.

I was like? What? What make you excited to go home? Basically for me, there's nothing at home. Like literally nothing. Note that me and my cousin we lived in same area. We live in same hometown. We lived there more than 2 decades already.

Yes, we have our family there. Like all the family squads are there. My brothers and my sisters' family. My cousins' family. My friends' family. Like everyone I know. Hahaha. Because you know I lived there more than 2 decades already. But other than my family there's literally nothing there.

I used to feel home as home. A place where I can found calm, peace and me. Like Hannah Montana's song " You'll always find your way back home". I lost so many time but I always find my way back when I got home. Like I felt good, peace and calm and everything that I need.

But recently, I feel nothing when I go home. I have a cold fight with my father. My father is a fighter. He is hardworking man who literally work himself a lot when he was young just to raise us up. He always want the best for us. He worked hard so that us can get good education. We did. Well, not all of us since 1/5 of us is jobless. Not really jobless, hahaha, that's so savage. Each of us have our own job. Well, as farmer. My father's 1st intention is to have us have a fix job like working with the goverment, but 1/5 of us now work with the field, trees, soil and other stuffs. So I guess, my father didn't achieve what he wants. That's mean he's failed. Haha. Sorry, dad.

Since he worked hard when he was young, his condition is really not good right now. He can't even walk properly because his leg hurts. So there's actually a thing between us that make me really mad and upset. So, I was like you know what, I am not going home this year except for Christmas and New Year. Well,  at least I have plan to go home for Christmas and New Year, and I was not saying this to them verbally like face to face but more like I talked to myself.

I felt sorry a lot but I don't think I can go home with all the mixed feeling inside me. Probably going to stress me more. When I am stress my parent would be probably stress than me. So I am not gonna stress them seeing me stress.

Also, yes there's nothing at my hometown except you like farming, fishing, and some jungle stuffs. Sometime I wondering if all the people there feel good living life like that. Especially for girls/woman that married to men from my hometown and spend their life there. Like in that closed small place. But hey, all of us are not same. Probably they feel good with their life, something that I misses. I can't be judgemental.

The other day, my cousins and me watched the villagers playing football. The loser will pay for drinks. One of my cousin said something like "coz there's no elsewhere they can spend their money, they spend it for little thing like this". Haha, but I think game like this apply everywhere not just at our home. Even in big city. 

Anyway, it will take me months to go home. Except probably when I get really-really homesick, then I am probably just hoop in my car driving home.

"Purpose" by Justin Bieber

Feeling like I'm breathing my last breath
Feeling like I'm walking my last steps
Look at all of these tears I've wept
Look at all the promises that I've kept

I put my all into your hands
Here's my soul to keep
I let you in with all that I can
You're not hard to reach
And you've blessed me with the best gift
That I've ever known
You give me purpose
Yeah, you've given me purpose

Thinking my journey's come to an end
Sending out a farewell to my friends, for inner peace
Ask you to forgive me for my sins, oh would you please?
I'm more than grateful for the time we spent, my spirit's at ease

I put my heart into your hands
Learn the lessons you teach
No matter when, wherever I am
You're not hard to reach
And you've given me the best gift
That I've ever known
You give me purpose everyday
You give me purpose in every way

Oh, you are my everything
Oh, you are my everything

[Spoken:]
I don't know if this is wrong because someone else is telling me that it's wrong but I feel this so let me just like, try my best not to let this happen again. We weren't necessarily put in the best position to make the best decisions.

You can't be hard on yourself for these were the cards that you were given. So you have to understand that these, like... that's not who you are. You know you're trying to be the best you can be, but that's all you can do. If you don't give it all you got, you're only cheating yourself. Give it all you got, but if it ends up happening, it ends up happening.

That's what—that's what's happening with me. It's like "God, I'm giving it all I got, sometimes I'm weak and I'm gonna do it". And it's like I'm not giving myself grace, I'm just like understanding, that's just how it is.

"Life Is Worth Living" by Justin Bieber

Ended up on a crossroad
Try to figure out which way to go
It's like you're stuck on a treadmill
Running in the same place
You got your hazard lights on now
Hoping that somebody would slow down
Praying for a miracle
Who'll show you grace?
Had a couple dollars and a quarter tank of gas
With a long journey ahead
Seen a truck pull over
God sent an angel to help you out
He gave you direction
Showed you how to read a map
For that long journey ahead
Said it ain't never over
Oh, even in the midst of doubt

Life is worth living, ou ou ou ou
Life is worth living, so live another day
The meaning of forgiveness
People make mistakes, doesn't mean you have to give in
Life is worth living again

Relationship on a ski slope
Avalanche comin' down slow
Do we have enough time to salvage this love?
Feels like a blizzard in April
'Cause my heart is just that cold
Skating on thin ice
But it's strong enough to hold us up
Seen her scream and holler
Put us both on blast
Tearing each other down
When I thought it was over
God sent an angel to help us out, yeah
He gave us direction, showed us how to make it last
For that long journey ahead
Said it ain't never over
No, even in the midst of doubt

Life is worth living, ou ou ou ou
Life is worth living, so live another day
The meaning of forgiveness
People make mistakes, doesn't mean you have to give in
Life is worth living again, oh whoa oh
Life is worth living again

What I get from my reflection
Is a different perception
From what the world may see
They try to crucify me
I ain't perfect, won't deny
My reputation's on the line
So I'm working on a better me

Life is worth living, oh yeah
Life is worth living, so live another day
The meaning of forgiveness
People make mistakes
Only God can judge me
Life is worth living again
Another day
Life is worth living again

#snsd

I was sitting read some articles. Not really an articles. Okay, I read my twitter. Haha. I don't have many followers but I did follow a lot of people and mostly is sones. It's really great to actually read their twits. Sometime I leave some comments and it's feel like talking to friend who share same interest with me. It's understandable because there's not many around me who likes kpop, well some are but not a sone. My sister on the other hand really hates kpop and always tells me that she doesn't understand kpop at all. Haha. Never mind. Her perspective is not important.

Right now, twitter is mess with snsd contract news. So I try to stay away from it. For me, as long as girls are happy then I am happy. They have been for 10 years, if they want another 10 years, that would be nice but no pressure. If they want go for other road, then I’ll support them in every step they choose. They have give sones amazing 10 years so its time for them to settle with their own life. I mean being an idol is not easy. 10 years of hardwork, tears, blood, sweats and sacrifice. 10 years already great achievement. They already a legend who will not be forgotten for next 1000 years.

NCT Life In Osaka : (Episode 12) Ninja House Experience & Shuriken Class

Okay, it’s been a while. I haven’t seen NCT Life for so long since the last episode of Osaka series. Caught up with lot of things. Like, a lot of things but I am not gonna bother you with it. NCT Life 1^st, right?

Since they already have fun and play around, now time to the next destination which is Ninja Yashiki or Ninja’s House (Yuta said it), a place where they can experience everything a ninja does. 1^st of all they are introduced to the ninja master and all of them have jaw drops at the sight of a real ninja. Well, since at the entrance they were only got greet by a mannequin ninja.

The ninja master makes a fire trick which amuses the boys. Their reaction is really cute. It’s like they have returned to their childhood. They ask how the ninja did it but Doyoung says that it’s actually a lighter. Nevertheless, they are really excited.

They start their 1^st trick class which is how to escape room. There’s a lot tricks inside the room which can be an exit passage. The boys sit like kindergarten kids while the ninja master teaches them the tricks and it’s nice for Yuta to translate everything ninja master said to the members.

Ninja Master      : If your enemy comes inord you in dangerous situation, you need to run away.

But how? The ninja shows them the secret passage. 1^st is behind the scroll and 2^nd is behind one of the wall. The boys are really absorbed and attentive listening to the teacher. Haha. The ninja master tells them to use the secret passage to the next room, whether through the scrolls or the walls. Taeyong, Doyoung and Winwin choose the scroll while Yuta and Taeil choose the wall.

Yuta is embarrassing himself by pushing the wrong wall. Taeyong, Doyoung and Winwin pass the scroll comfortably and arrive earlier to the next room. Taeyong student is excited. The kunoichi (female ninja) says that there is secret passage there too which lead to another room and ask the boys where the secret passage could be. Taeyong points the scrolls but Doyoung says that isn’t and Doyoung is right. There’s no passage behind the scroll.

Doyoung point to the wall but it is not too and all of them start to point at anything. Haha. Since they already point all the walls which turn out are not, Taeyong points above which is right. The pillar on the ceiling is actually a ladder.

Since they learned everything already, they move to the next mission which is room escape mission by themselves and all of them start to move around looking for secret passage. Taeyong observes really thoroughly and succeeds. But that was only a starter. The real mission is individual room escape mission. The fastest person to complete the game is 1^st place and they start with Taeil.

Taeil is ready and full of confidence to do his mission and the rest say that they’ll do their best reaction while waiting.

Notes *

NCT Life in Osaka is only able to film up until they start the game, please imagine the situation inside the game with the audio.

Understandable.

While Taeil is challenging, what are the reaction-making members doing? The members are together and focus on watching Japanese ninja sibling drama on TV. Aren’t you guys said you’d react well to Taeil earlier? Haha. Poor Taeil. But really, they can’t take their eyes off from the tv. Cute.

Yuta says that he’d rather look at the tv than Taeil. Savage Yuta. The rest who are really into the TV are agreed but Doyoung seems nervous as he’ll go next. But just then, his turn is up. It’s look like Taeil is done. The members send their goodbye and good luck to Doyoung and back to watch the tv after he leaves. Haha. Even Winwin says that the drama is fun. They only interested when the member done their mission.

After a while, 1^st player, Taeil finally appears and relaxed. He just started his solo interview when Doyoung, the 2^nd player arrives. Wow, that fast? He thinks so too. Taeil who is saying that he felt like Detective Conan back there in the escape room surprises when Doyoung enter the room. Both of them say that there’s a lot of things in the escape room than what they expected. Doyoung says that Yuta will do well because he’s spontaneous. And yeah, Yuta is indeed spontaneous and done the mission in a short time. Both Doyoung and Taeil greet him happily but Doyoung more interested if he is the one who did faster or Yuta. Haha. Competitive King Game Doyoung.

Doyoung thinks Winwin will be the slowest member because he is soft and the other agreed but little they know Winwin arrives in no time. Winwin actually being manly man hitting and kicking all the wall and possible escape passage. He might breaks some. All of them then agreed that Taeyong will be the slowest member since he is still didn’t appear when the time already ticking fast. And yeah, Taeyong is taking his time strolling in the escape room.

The members act tired of waiting and sit while waiting for Taeyong to arrive. They complain to him that he took so much time that they actually have time for dinner. Taeyong is positive and confident about being 1^st. The others are in dumbfounded over that statement. Taeyong says that Taeil will be the last place and adds that he fell asleep waiting for Taeil to finish his mission. Yuta tells Taeyong that Taeil fell asleep waiting for Taeyong. Haha. Then they both fell asleep waiting for each other. 

The result is,

1^st : Yuta (2 minutes 35 seconds)

2^nd : Winwin (3 minutes 27 seconds)

3^rd Place : Taeyong ( 3 minutes 30 seconds)

4^th Place : Doyoung (3 minutes 42 seconds)

5the Place : Taeil ( 6 minutes 27 seconds)

Wow, I thought Taeyong will be the slowest one but wow, Taeil, over 6 minutes. That’s half of the others’ record. The rest start to tease him by saying that they could finish another round. Poor Taeil.

They then proceed to next place which is to learn to throw shurikens, a ninja’s symbol.  They are in shuriken throwing spot and Taeil is burning with desire to throw shuriken. Win win, Yuta and him will learn 1^st while being watch by Taeyong and Doyoung at the other side of room corner. The teacher teaches them the proper way to handle the shuriken. Winwin who is holding it wrong says that it looks like heart before the teacher corrects him. Winwin is full of love. The teacher makes a demonstration but failed on hitting the right target. Haha. The boys are having fun watching the teacher mess up in front of them.

Taeil, Winwin and Yuta start their practice. Winwin doing well (His self compliments is on another level) in his 1^st try, while Yuta also doing well after some practice and Taeil is actually really good in shuriken. Looks like after had last place in the room escape game, he becomes a front runner in shuriken. Doyoung and Taeyong enter for their practice turn along with the teacher and Doyoung pick Taeil’s room to receive Taeil’s good energy. Taeyong did well in his 1^st try but fail in his 2^nd and 3^rd tries. Doyoung is terrible and the rest couldn’t resist themselves to tease him.

Since the practice is over, now time for real match. They are given with 5 shurikens, the person who scores the highest wins. Everyone is failed in their 1^st throw except for Taeyong who did well in his 1^st and 2nd. Taeil  is catching up fast on his 2^nd while Yuta, Winwin doing poorly. Doyoung did well on his 2^nd.

The scores of the shuriken game are,

Yuta and Winwin scored 0 points each. Both cutely accept the truth. Doyoung and Taeyong scored 40 points each. The first place goes to Taeil with 50 points. Talk about plot twist. From last place in escape room to 1^st place in throwing shuriken. 

Next episode, the boys enter the haunted house. That will be fun to watch.
