Fahrenheit! =D♥
I went with my best friend, Xiu Ting to Fahrenheit's autograph session at IMM last sunday. (: We originally planned to just reach there by 8, but fortunately, some people who begun queuing since 3/4am in the morning, invited us to sit with them!
In the end, we managed to clinch a space four rows from the stage. Gosh, thanks girls! (:
Finally, I could see Arron in the flesh! and well, honestly, he's a whole lot more good looking than on tv and pictures. (Yup, you never thought it was possible did you?)
And once again, I did something embarassing...
when we finally managed to squEEZE our way up to the stage (gosh, everyone was pushing and screaming...LOL but it added to the excited atmosphere), I was kind of nervous because being naturally clumsy (I trip over my own feet....and once, air), I was afraid I'd trip while going up the stage or just walking across.
Fortunately, my feet decided to stay right and left that day and I managed to reach the stage quite safely. The first one to greet me was Calvin. I had originally thought that he didn't want to shake hands because right after signing Xiu Ting's album (she was in front of me), he proceeded to sign mine without looking up at Xiu Ting. It was until after a while, he suddenly looked up and smiled at Xiu Ting and shook her hand, then he turned to smile at me and held his hand out.
At that moment, I was kind of blur (as usual) and I stared blankly at the extended hand for a few seconds before startling and returning the handshake. >.<
Next was Arron. Jiro was right after him and because Xiu Ting had planned to pass her letters to Jiro, I was looking at her with my "shifty" eyes the entire time because I had a letter to give to Arron too and I didn't know how to give it. (Yes, I wrote a letter, in Chinese too...it's a miracle I managed to form coherent sentences in Chinese...okok, I included an english translated one just in case he can't make heads or tails of my horrible horrible chinese)
Well, after seeing Xiu Ting's involuntary demo, I finally garnered the courage to face Arron. hahas. He looked up after signing my album and stuck his hand out towards me. As I shook his hand, he gave me a grin and said Thank You. At that point in time, it all became a blur. lol. I merely remember mumbling back a Thank You and sticking my letter out at him with both hands and mumbling that it was for him. >.<
When he accepted my letter, he grinned at me again and said Thank You again, I don't remember whether he shook my hand again, but I think he did. hahas. Think he said bye to me too.
Ok, that was embarassing part 1. (YES THERE'S A PART 2)
When I came to face Jiro, he looked up with a big smile on his face..then I saw the corners of his lips dropped ever so slightly. I was confused...did I do something weird or wrong?
That was when I realised that I wasn't smiling AT ALL.
I guess I was so tired from the queuing and all that anticipation, I got exhausted and just didn't smile anymore. >.<
All that happened within split seconds, and I immediately grinned back at him and accepted his hand to shake. (p.s., his hand is HUGE...) His smile immediately went back to a big one and he said Thank You too. I was so awkward by then, I again mumbled back a Thank You. I noticed that his eyes were rather tired looking and bloodshot..hm..mustn't have slept much the seeing how they just held a concert in M'sia the night before.
When it came to Wu Zun, he said something to me after shaking my hand and thanking me, but I honestly don't remember what it was. I remember standing to one side of the stage because, for some odd reason, my album was still not signed by a few others yet.(Jiro and Wu Zun I believe). While I was waiting awkwardly at the side, Wu Zun suddenly turned towards me again and talked to me again...but I really really can't remember what he said. sorry. >.<>
It was a rather nice experience though. They all looked and sounded so sincere. (: SMILE SMILE!
I felt very lucky that day because I had won a ticket (unfortunately only one) to the Closed Door Event at St James Powerhouse, which was held immediately after the autograph session.
Words cannot describe the feelings and atmosphere there. It was just AWESOME.
I'll post some pictures here first, then perhaps when I have the time, I'll post some videos too. I took part by part footage of the entire "mini-concert cum interview" but I take an extremely long time to upload one video on youtube. Any tips anyone?
