Song Translation: 陪在你身旁 (Stay By Your Side) by NEX7 English Lyrics Sub

丁澤仁：Ding Zeren 爸媽教會我一身正氣
My parents taught me to stand upright
(T/N: Ding Zeren's fan chant is 一声正气丁少侠, which roughly translates to 'air of righteousness, Hero Ding) 逃避挑戰沒有意義 It doesn't make sense to escape from challenges 長大後苦練超群舞技 After growing up I practised outstanding dance skills 你是我夢想的動力
You are the driving force behind my dreams 黃新淳：Huang Xinchun 斯坦尼斯拉夫斯基
Stanislavski
(T/N: Stanislavski's system is a method of training actors involves them putting themselves emotionally into the characters they are portraying)
他沒教會我裝作不愛你 He didn't teach me to pretend not to love you 互相確認過了眼神 Exchanging mutual glances of recognition
(T/N: Huang Xinchun's fan chant is 确认过眼神是我的黄新淳, which means 'My eyes have confirmed, you are my Huang Xinchun') 你是我的意中人 You are my favourite person
朱正廷：Zhu Zhengting 人約三月草未莘
Meeting in March, the grass has yet to grow
間關探嗓幾回聞
Voices reverberating in this space 仙槎一葉偏入凡 Immortal falls like a leaf into the ordinary realm
子銜絳珠伴露生 Half-naked Crimson Pearl
(T/N: Crimson Pearl refers to Crimson Pearl Flower who is a character from 'Dream of The Red Chamber', one of China's Four Great Classical Novels, where she is watered every day by the main character Stone until she takes the form of a fairy girl) 唯有早春最知惜 Only knows how to cherish early spring 朱脣貝齒啟語箴 Pearl lips and pure white abdomen evoke an earnest warning 正是白紵鳶肩倚 Precisely this white shoulder 廷風拂揚覓無痕
The wind in the palace courtyard scatters away all traces

(T/N: The first word of each of Zhengting's lyrics is '人间仙子唯朱正廷', which means 'Human fairy is Zhu Zhengting'. Zhengting's fan chant is '人间仙子朱正廷你是我的理想型', meaning 'human fairy Zhu Zhengting, you are my ideal type'. Zhengting's lyrics is full of references to classical Chinese literature and culture, we stan a WHOLE intellectual)
合：Together 細嗅春天的味道
The delicate scent of spring 夏天的微涼 The coolness of summer 輕撫秋天的落葉 The caress of falling leaves in autumn 冬天的陽光 The sunshine in winter 越是仔細地看著你 The more carefully I look at you 越能發現你的美麗 The more I can see your beauty 我們會一直陪伴在你身旁 We will always stay by your side
Justin: 你看我來到這個地方
You see me coming here 也想要一直陪在你們身旁 I also want to stay by your side always 答應過你們會少吃泡麵多睡覺 Promised you all to eat fewer pot noodles and sleep more
(T/N: Justin's fan chant is 黄明昊，少吃泡面，多睡觉, translating as 'Huang Minghao (Justin's Chinese name), eat fewer pot noodles and sleep more'. Nanas really look out for Justin's health~) 還有一定會保持開心多微笑 And I will make sure to stay happy and keep smiling
範丞丞: Fan Chengcheng 媽媽說需要變得人見人愛
Mama said I need to be loved by all 花見花開放手放縱去愛
Handsome enough to make flowers bloom, let go and indulge in love
(T/N: Fan Chengcheng's fan chant is 人见人爱范丞丞花见花开福西西, a literal translation is 'seen by all and loved by all Fan Chengcheng, flowers bloom as soon as they see him Fu Xixi' (Fu Xixi is Chengcheng's meme and adorable side. You can tell how much Cheng stars love him~) 絕不要害怕失敗 Never be afraid of failing 沒什麼事是應該 Nothing is a must-do 輸了也絕不抵賴 After losing I'll never refuse to admit it 承蒙遇見 Grateful to have met you 一切都是命運的安排 Everything is arranged by fate
李權哲：Li Quanzhe 小倉鼠總是愛想象 Little hamster always loves to imagine 會可愛也想長大 Being cute and wanting to grow up
(T/N: Quanzhe's fan chant is '小仓鼠你别长大', meaning 'Little hamster, don't grow up'. Quanzhe's nickname is little hamster because of his cute chubby cheeks, he also introduced himself like this in the Idol Producer auditions) 有你陪我就不害怕 With you by my side I won't be afraid
畢雯珺: Bi Wenjun 我聽見夢想的聲音 I heard the sound of dreams 萌芽著嚮往和憧憬 Yearning and longing sprouting out
我拼盡全力與你同行 I'm doing my best to walk this path together with you 畢生有幸
Be fortunate throughout this lifetime
(T/N: Bi Wenjun's fan chant is '毕生有幸与珺同行' meaning 'Having fortune throughout your whole life, walking with Jun'. The first word of the fan chant is also Wenjun's surname, 'Bi'.) 合：Together
細嗅春天的味道
The delicate scent of spring 夏天的微涼 The coolness of summer 輕撫秋天的落葉 The caress of falling leaves in autumn 冬天的陽光 The sunshine in winter 越是仔細地看著你 The more carefully I look at you 越能發現你的美麗 The more I can see your beauty 我們會一直陪伴在你身旁 We will always stay by your side

Dermatology Review- Trina's battle with Acne Scars and Problem Skin ft. Banobagi Dermatology

Hey everyone~ When I went back to Seoul in March, I managed to have the most amazing dermatology appointment with Banobagi Dermatology Clinic! They literally saved my exam season acne-ridden skin so that I am glowing like a goddess for Dermatology Review- Trina's battle with Acne Scars and Problem Skin ft. Banobagi DermatologySummer!

We all know that Korean skincare is absolutely amazing for the skin, and the craze for Korean products has definitely spread to the U.K. My blogpost about the skincare products I use, of which 99.99% are SK brands, is still the most popular post on my blog, so skincare is definitely something that I feel you all care about. But what happens when holy grail products aren’t enough?!

Introducing my amazing skincare experience at Banobagi Dermatology~!

WhatsApp Image 2017-04-18 at 5.30.40 AM.jpeg

WhatsApp Image 2017-04-18 at 5.30.41 AM (1).jpeg

The photos above are of the reception area. There were quite a lot of staff on hand to process my details and answer any questions I could have, and they also helped to translate when I met the dermatologist! I’ll talk about my experience step-by-step, so please join me~

WhatsApp Image 2017-04-18 at 5.30.41 AM.jpeg

The first step was to take photos of my bare face, so my skin condition could be properly assessed. I know what everyone is thinking… What happened to my skin?! To be honest, my skin was probably the worst it had been for a very long time. I was having the most awful outbreaks around my mouth and chin, and my skin was just irritated and dry, which led to the awful oil overproduction you can see in the photo above. My skin produces more oil than several oil-producing countries~

You can also definitely see my exposed pores, but what is really apparent on the picture on the left is the red marks! Pigmentation left over from acne usually takes time to heal, but with Banobagi’s super laser, it all disappeared quickly!

I then went to meet the dermatologist and told him all about my skin issues which were mainly:

Active uncontrollable acne
Oily skin
Huge pores
Leftover acne marks

The dermatologist was very thorough and asked me if my pores were a very big concern, as the treatment for huge pores could lead to some minor scabbing. He took into consideration the fact that my flight was tomorrow, and chose a slightly less powerful treatment so I wouldn’t look totally crazy for my flight!

This was the skin treatment plan I was recommended:

The One day Acne Program!

Banobagi actually has quite a few acne programs, but the dermatologist made a customised program for me to directly address my concerns and give me the skin I desired. Such a luxurious treatment, I was so touched at how well I was treated~ T_T

Step 1. Acne Full Care

The first step is what everyone knows as the traditional facial, but with a twist! The lovely estheticians performed deep cleansing on my skin to remove old sebum from my huge pores, which could lead to acne forming. They additionally did exfoliation with ultrasound, extracted my active acne, and and dealt with my flaky skin. It was actually really soothing and felt a lot more thorough than my normal facials.

The atmosphere here was so relaxed, there were people on their phones while getting their treatments done, or just lying back and being soothed by cooling masks. The one thing I noticed is that a lot of people already had absolutely amazing skin?! Korean ladies are so hardworking… I need to take care of my skin too!

Step 2. V-beam Laser

After my deep cleansing, I had numbing cream put on my face and waited in a separate reception for it to work its magic. Obviously I can’t have laser without my skin being numbed, I’ll really cry~ It was a really funny sensation feeling my skin tingle!

The first laser treatment I had was the V-beam laser, which was used to treat the active red acne I had. I honestly didn’t feel anything, but I was startled by the little zaps! The numbing cream really works you guys ^^ I wasn’t afraid at all.

I’ve learnt that the V-beam laser is also used to treat birthmarks and rosacea, so it is really good for redness of the skin.

Step 3. Laser Toning

The second laser treatment was an Acne Pigmentation Clearing treatment! To be honest, the feeling was exactly the same as the V-beam laser but on different areas of my face. Neither of the two treatments lasted too long, as the lasers are very powerful. Laser Toning is used for post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation aka PIH, which many people use Vitamin C serums to fade. With laser toning however, I can throw away my smelly Vitamin C serums~

Step 4. Floracel Laser

Okay, this laser was absolutely the most intense step of the treatment program. The Floracel Laser destroys sebaceous glands which cause acne and induce collagen regeneration to tighten pores!

I can confidently say that this Floracel Laser made such a huge difference to my skin. But honestly you guys, it was pretty painful~ Despite the numbing cream, I leaked a few tears of self-pity. However, the effect it has on my skin is absolutely miraculous and I would 100% do the same treatment a hundred times over!

Step 5. High-gloss waterglow injection

After the Floracel Laser, the High-gloss waterglow injection was so soothing and relaxing. High-gloss waterglow injection, also known as Hyaluronic Acid injection, has powerful moisturising properties on dry skin and helps to maximise skin regeneration after the acne treatment. It makes sense to have it since my sebaceous glands have been annihilated by the Floracel laser~

The use of Hyaluronic Acid in skincare is really well-known, and used clinically in dermatology, it has excellent effects including improvement of skin elasticity and firmness, improving smoothness and water loss! Hyaluronic Acid is really amazing!

Here are some photos I took after the treatment:

I shamelessly took these photos in the lift haha. You can tell that my skin is a little bit red, but the staff kindly put on sunscreen for me. Sunscreen is an important part of the laser treatment aftercare instructions after all~

This is the sunscreen they used on me, I ended up buying it the next day because I liked it so much! I recommend trying it when you get the chance. It has nice mattifying properties which is perfect for summer.

And how are the results??

Well it’s officially been 2 months already since the treatment, so I have plenty of photos to share with everyone! It’s been so long already.

I’ll select some nice photos to cleanse your eyes from my oily-skinned pre-dermatology photos!

I have to tell the truth, sometimes I don’t take care of my skin too well and don’t put on enough sheet masks, but my skin is honestly the best it has ever been. I get compliments on my skin from people and even my picky mum is super impressed!

Having a good skin is a great base for makeup, but lately I have just been wearing sunscreen and undereye concealer. No heavy foundation for me~

I can’t thank the dermatologists at Banobagi enough! Their treatments have worked so well, I highly recommend booking an appointment if you have skin concerns like me.

My mum was so impressed by my skincare treatments that she booked an appointment the very next morning before our flight! She had oil-seed/milia removal. My mum has been plagued with little milia around her eyes for absolutely ages, and she even spent over 500SGD to get them removed while in Singapore. However, the place she went to didn’t remove all of them and so they grew back again……

But Banobagi helped her remove them! I’m so impressed! She even bought their skincare products to try out and have raved about them~

If your mum is as picky about skincare like mine, please try these products out! She feels that her skin is much cleaner and less ‘yellow’, and plans to go back for more treatments haha. We both had an excellent experience and couldn’t recommend Banobagi Dermatology enough!
