I love my pals. They almost immediately agreed when I asked them to accompany me to go star gazing – though they weren’t exactly very gaga over 林峰.
Granted Butter forgot her event was at Jurong Point – where 峰’s autograph session was held… And when she finally remembered, she went “shucks!!” But she already bought her tics to KL so… but before she left Jurong Point, she called and said again she wished she could join us, and I knew she meant it! =)
And thus, Bloss took up the big task of accompanying me to go star-gazing.
Really appreciated it cos I knew it took her quite an effort wor – considering she had to sacrifice her afternoon and evening to stand for more than four hours with me, without dinner some more – and also, she had to read the map and drive all the way from Sengkang to Boon Lay wor!
The autograph session backdrop
What's worth mentioning was Butter mms me the backdrop early in the morn, with the msg "make you gian 1st! hahah"...
峰was late. His autograph session was supposed to start at 730 pm but he made his appearance only at 8 pm thereabouts. And we just stood there, squeezing with the crowd from 5 plus all the way to 8 plus… On heels some more wor.. tiring…
Throughout the session, Bloss suggested more than once to me to join the autograph queue, or even “bribed” someone to let me cut queue, but I kept hesitating – partly cos the queue was so damn long all the way to the old JP entrance and got loops some more leh, and partly, cos I was very “shy” to join the queue.
Well, I’m always like that when it comes to stars gazing.
I am such a sucker for HK TVB stars (think even my colleagues could attest to this when they witnessed how I suddenly perked up and ran amok around our hotel to search where the TVB crew was when we spotted a TVB van near our hotel – and that was when I was literally dragging my feet and complaining of wanting to return to hotel asap, just minutes prior to spotting the van)… But if you ask me to go “chase” after them or join queue to get their stuff or autograph, what have you, I would immediately become a coward and hesitate – cos I would think “aiyoh… how old liao?… still can behave like teenager …Grow up!”
And so – for the record, during the HK trip, we finally found the TVB crew.. was some 2nd or 3rd grade actor and actress, and I “manja-ed” my colleague to go take photographs for me! Hahhaa.. See?
Anyway, I digress.
Back to my 峰 autograph session today. I was lucky to have Bloss with me – cos when the emcees announced that 峰 and his manager had agreed to extend the autograph session, she asked me again whether I wanted to check the queue out.
Again, I hesitated.
Then I think she buay tahan my wishy-washiness and said, “I’ll go check it out.” And so, I just followed her…
And lo and behold, the queue was short by then, so we immediately joined the queue… And before we knew it, the security guard came to seal off the queue entrance.
But while we were nearing the stage, one of the security guards told us that we would most probably not get his autograph cos they had received instructions to stop at a guy who was wearing black or dark blue shirt in front of us.
And guess what? Bloss actually manja-ed/reasoned to the security guard and asked him to help “bargain” and “negotiate” with the organisers to just continue and “finish the queue”, since there were only the few of us left behind that guy…
And presto! We did finally squeeze in and were among the last five to get his autograph! Woo hoo!!
Bloss’ the best! I wouldn’t have gotten his autograph nor see him so up close and personal again (since the MS day)….
Awww… up close and personal with 峰 again… He’s so 帅 lor… His cute dimples, “electrifying” eyes and shy smile… And did I mention his skin’s macham so flawless too! **meltz**
And best of all, he made an effort to look up and smiled and nodded to all those who went up on stage to get his autograph. **meltz once more**
And this Bloss actually went “谢谢你,辛苦你了!” Wah… He din look up though, when she said that. He just concentrated on signing the poster… but he did look and smile at Bloss thereafter.
And when it was my turn, I just stared so hard at him and how he signed the poster and when he was done and looked up to smile and nod at me, I just managed to mutter a soft “谢谢你”… oh man, how creative…
Anyway, the best had yet to come… after we got his autograph, we just stood at a distance, away from the stage, at the JP entrance just to see how the event was going to end…
And surprise! The route of his “escape” was exactly where me and bloss were standing… ie, he actually walked past us to get to the car park!!!
Amid the pushing of the rest to try to catch a last glimpse, I thought I let out a scream (of his name), and he actually turned, gave his signature dimpled smile and waved bye!
Awww… I’m sold.
