5th Anniversary of Meeting with IU for the First Time

  Today is the 5th anniversary of I'm meeting with IU for the first time.  The date is such a memorable moment in my life... 16 December 2018. 5 years has passed... I've love her as a fan since 2012 and have supported her ever since... Well, till today.  It's such a magical moment.  I wish I can relive it.  I used to think that if I ever want to watch her concert, I need to watch her concert in Korea only.  Then, she include Singapore and Thailand for her concert tour in 2018.  So, it's like my opportunity to watch her live.  Straight away bought her concert ticket, search for Air BnB, flight ticket, apply for annual leave. It's my first time doing this.  Went to another foreign country to watch a Kpop concert.  But for IU, I'll make it.  The only one thing that I can't do yet is probably catch her concert in Korea.  I don't know if I ever can cross this bucket list of mine.  Because the ticketing war in South Korea for her concert is way hard!

The book was actually released in 2020.   In fact, I didn’t buy it this time. My sister bought it. I just read it. Even after 10 years, I guess I still love this universe created by Suzanne.  😊💕 This is the synopsis of the book, what it’s all about.

It follows the story of Coriolanus Snow, who later becomes the tyrannical President Snow depicted in the original series. The book explores themes of power, privilege, and the loss of innocence. It delves deep into
