HyunJoong ah~~~!!

First and foremost, 5 loud cheers for The Face Shop Singapore for bringing our beloved Kim Hyun Joong to the sunny island, another 5 loud cheers for their very fast response. It was almost immediate where we got our questions answered:

But nay for the ripoff. Gees, I mean, $250 worth of TFS products just for the fansign? Insane that is.

Not that I don't want to see this gorgeous. In fact, I'm dying to see him. SS501. Here. In. Singapore. Who in the world will miss the chance to see our heartthrob right?

But it's just for fansign. Like what I told Hyesa, HJL's busy schedule doesn't seem to be able to fulfill our wish for interacting with him. So it's probably 10 sentence, HJL gets ready to sign whatever that TFS gives us, chop chop sign, kamsahamnida, saranghae and poof! Annyeong. 再见. See you again. *waves*

I won't mind spending if it's a fanmeet. Where we get to hear him sing couple of songs, then a little interview. That, $250 is perfectly alright. Come to think of it, I think I spent a good $300 odd for Hyung Jun baby's. And it oh-so worth it I'm telling you.

As much as I'd love to provide live tweets for the lovelies, alot of things vary. I'm waiting for more information to come out. If there's anything more to just sign, sign, go - I'm heading for it.

Else.. Imma hiding in the blanket and go anti-social for the next 1 week after Hyun Joong's arrival.

Loves from all over the world

The peers are definitely gonna think "wtf is this? Who are this girls? They even made a video for her?"

Only if they understand the real reason why I was so immensed with twitdom. It's not only about fangirling, but the friends you made throughout.

Even more important, it's the things they do to show that you meant something to them.

Well, what can I say? The mind went blank seeing this. I really wasn't expecting it. Yes yes yes, the tap was on for abit. I was touched. (who won't?) I'm not a person who likes surprises. Because I don't know how to react to it. Or rather, I don't like people seeing me weep.

Therefore I'll try means and ways to not let myself be caught in the act. I usually prempted surprises. Most of the time.

I didn't do alot. Really. All I did was to make things less dreadful for the days when they feel shitty. That's all.

Sure, I could have gone on a hiatus without alarming them, I wanted to go off quietly for I don't want people to think I'm seeking deliberate attention. But I wanna say a proper goodbye. Afterall, it's my friends we are talking about. So I started to log in lesser, reply lesser and hinted abit here and there..

As well as the rest,

Your love seats well in my heart. :)

Seriously, when was this done ah??? How come I have no idea at all?! *ponders*

Thank you dani.. and the rest of you girls.

And Sazeena.. Read your DM. And since it's a DM, I thought it's better not to copy her entire message here.

Thank you for your heartfelt message! The things you said, trending sessions and me calming the situation, I guess that's was the only thing I could do for others. I can't contribute much actually..

No, I do not remember any angry Saz at all.. not even in the DMs. All I saw was a friend whom need a listening ear, someone who trust me, someone who is willing to share her fears with me.

A friend not only share one's joys and strengths. A friend welcomes your woes and weakness too. No? :)

I'm no one special. I'm just, me.

And I'm your friend.

Hiatus

So I bade goodbye to the girls. Those silly girls I doted like my younger sisters. :)

Their goodbyes and well-wishes sent warmth deep beneath.

Feels sorry without answering some of their questions, some, their bewilderness. Cuz if I were to answer each of their reponse, it would take forever and who knows, I might just change my mind and stay in twitter. Ummm.. That is not good.

Cath mentioned something like "so the rumour was true?" - Didn't know it'll turn out to be a rumour. Sounds... major. Lol.

Yes I'm still active in Facebook. Just not twitter. Not till that day comes.

Yes Menu I'm trying very hard to save up for Europe. The post-it promise I made to myself, must be fulfilled. Menu & Mai remains in "the girls I MUST meet" list.

Hiromi dear found a way to text me for free. Kudos. MUST meet her soon too.

Sorry Jane dear, I left without explaining. Sorry. DM me if you need me. :)

And yeah, for the antis, happy that I left? P.S. I didn't leave because of you all lah. Unfortunately.

Right. I actually have antis. Whoa. P.P.S. I have a fanclub. It's call "BBQ". The fan names are "kebabs". I named it myself. I got 4 members to date. Maybe 5. Idk. ROFLOL.

Like I said, I'll be hanging out here more often. To pen down all my thoughts and misses for whoever, whichever.

Lalalala

Abrupt end. Bye.

Trending tips!

So as most of the lovelies are aware, #501ysday will be my last till.. further notice? Lol. I've made a pact to myself. That is to arrange all 5 boys' birthday TT and I'm good.

I've done that.

In short, I won't be around for a bit.. And since I'm more known as someone in Twitter and arranging the TT sessions, amma imparting all I've learnt to you all. Let's all be a spammer! Kekeke.

Ok, back to basics!

1) Get the your timing correct. We live in different parts of the world, so time difference is definite. KST means Korea Standard Time.

2) Usual TT last for 2 hours. Officially. And our results will be finalised from that very minute. That's the fun part. (Trending is about reaching the top in a specific time given. Of course, if there are enough people to trend a topic for days, why not?

Just so happen the fandom I'm in, doesn't allows that. Hence I'm rather specific when it come to the session I arranged.) Anytime when the TT ended, sure, you may wish to trend further if you have more to spazz.

But in my experience, most of my spammers - stops soon after. Because we are usually preparing for the next TT session so we are saving our tweets! xD The newer tweeps will tend to trend after the session. The spammers, will rest.

We spam well. That I guarantee you.

3) Make sure you get the trending tags right. Simple mistake will get your tweets uncounted and hell yea, efforts wasted.

4) Get ready your drinks, tidbits. For you might not be able to have any break! In a good way, that is. Cuz you'll be having so much fun you won't wanna leave your computers. Your fingers might not even listen to you if you wanna stop.

5) Cut your fingernails. Hey, it's silly. But having nails while you type intensively is.. insane. Lol. Ok, that one is optional.

Now, comes the more technical tips. Alot of them are circulated. But I'm sure some of the rules were never known. Not unless you read Twitter's rules and regulations word by word.

(Hey, people don't term me the trending queen for nothing, ya know?)

6) Rule 1: 1 tag per tweet. Multiple tags will get your tweets uncounted.

e.g.:

I love #SS501 (counted)

I love #SS501 and #hyunsaengkyuminjun (risky)

I love #SS501 #SS501 #SS501 #SS501 (VERY risky. Pls don't do that or you might simply cause the tag to be classified as a spamming one)

Some said the tweets WILL NOT be counted. My take is, it might, it might not. But to play safe, I went ahead with my approval.

Reason being: Twitter might sense you as spamming if you tweet more than 1 tag. (Although we are, somehow. But we don't want twitter to know, do we? Cuz the consequences are... unbearable. Scroll down for more)

Say, there are REAL spammers that tweets as much as 5-6 tags in 1 tweet. This, Twitter will definitely take it as spamming. 2 tags, I'm not sure. Which is why you see me sometimes doing 2 tags together. :)

7) Rule 2: Minimal amount of Retweets. It used to be ok until Twitter changes its rules. Too many Retweets will be classified as spamming too. Unfortunately.

8) Rule 3: Using multiple accounts to tweet. Now, many of us are not strangers to this platform call "Tweetdeck". For spammers, it is almost a MUST to have multiple accounts.

And in order to contribute more tweets, we tweet using applications like Tweetdeck, which allows us to send tweets from all our accounts at a go.

e.g.:

violettacal: I love #SS501

ss501tags: I love #SS501

violettacal2: I love #SS501

All these, at 1 go. However, tweeting in format like this won't get you any further.

I realised alot of the newer tweeps are doing this - tweeting the same tweet with ALL accounts. Twitter will throw you out in no time. Probably if you do this format for... 20 times? Twitter will track you down and BAM! You bear the consequences. (I know some of you are wondering what are the consequences, patience dear. I'll touch on that soon)

9) Rule 4: Tweeting with no relevant context.

e.g.:

Jungmin is so handsome omg I love #SS501! (relevant)

korean pops are wonderful. I love #SS501! (relevant, to a certain extend)

My mum is asking me to do the chores. #SS501 (not relevant)

I'm working now. #SS501 (not relevant)

Again, Twitter will classify as you spamming because you are not tweeting to the trending topic.

10) Rule 5: Traces of publicising 3rd party sites. For instance, to a particular website of portal.

e.g.:

Omg check this picture of HJL! #ilovess501 http://www.insertwebsite.com/

Wow I love their blog! Full of SS501 stuffs #ilovess501 http://www.insertblogaddress.com/

I don't know what's the limit to this. Probably 50 times? To play safe, don't do it at all. :)

11) Rule 6: Tweet limit. Meaning you tweeted too much in a given period.

Take 1 hour as a benchmark. Some get their limits within 30 mins. Some 45, some an hour. It really depends on how many tweet you sent in, I reckon.

A quick math I did was: Approx 150 tweets in 1 hour. Any faster or more than that, your account gets blocked.

Which was why I desperately got more tweeps in to join us and subsequently advised us to tweet slowly, enjoy the process. Because the tweep-base is there.

(Too technical for you all I know. To keep it simple, GET MORE TWEEPS TO TREND AND YOU TREND SLOWLY. ^^)

There were more rules but I omitted it because I don't think it's relevant to the fandom trending. ^^ Things like excessive following and unfollowing etc. Irrelevant.

Here's the possible consequences:

a) Account gets block. Usually from 30mins to as long as 2 hours. Account will revived then.

This happens when: You tweet excessively in a given period of time. (Rule 6) Or what we usually term as "tweet limit".

b) Account gets suspended. From 24 hours to forever.

This happens when: You are suspected of spamming or publicising 3rd websites (all rules + especially Rule 5)

Consequences (a), still ok. Just that you don't get to use you main domain. The sub accounts comes in handy then.

Consequences (b), you won't even wanna go there. Period.

So here's all I can think of for the time being. It should be pretty updated.

Mostly importantly, enjoy each and every session as efforts are put in during the arrangement.

Make friends, like I've did for the past 1 year odd.

Say something that is in your mind. You never know if the boys will get to read your tweet. :)

I love you girls~!

Truly,
