It was my second time going for an autograph session, the first being a coupla years ago when I was still into the world of WWE, and I went for their session and got kissed on the cheek by Chris Benoit, got very nice autographs, and shook hands with Tajiri and Torrie Wilson.
Anws!
So I met Jewel and Laura at 1pm at compass point, and after being disappointed and cursing ourselves for not queuing up earlier (the queue stretched out to OUTSIDE compass) and after picking a spot at the side of the stage, we went shopping at Metro. We tried on so many pieces of clothing for fun, and we always go to the Kiddy Fitting Room since the Adult Fitting Room is always so freaking crowded. =X there was only one cubicle (which is damn huge! loves) that's available so me and laura shared since it was almost 3pm, which meant IDOL ROADSHOW STARTING IDOL ROADSHOW STARTING IDOL ROADSHOW STARTING. =D
haa and this time just our luck, some rude girl was like being so snobbish and qian bian.
She was there for barely one minute, and when her mother came to check on her, she kept saying "2 people in there," "those 2 people inside taking SOO long!".
I shot her a dirty look. I swear, if she wasn't so young, I would have.. oh nvm.
Like, patience, please? And why are you such a brat and so impatient when you're barely ten years old?
ANYWAY. So after Metro-ing we went down to the spot we'd originally wanted to stand at,
(THIS SPOT)
but it was so crowded by the time we got there! Damn. We should have just stood there and waited instead of being so itchy backside and deciding to go look around.
And man, Compass Point was NEVER this crowded before. It must have had thriple, maybe four or five times its usual daily customer count. SO MANY PEOPLE. Even Jon Leong was stunned, as you'll see later. =D=D=D
We stood pretty near to the side of the stage and we got to see DANIEL ONG up close! He's much more cute in person than he is on tv.
Dan the Man (Number 15, is it? Haha) appreciating the dance by D.A.T.
PAUL TWOHILL! SEE HIS CUTE MOP? =D HE LOOKS BETTER IN PERSON, SERIOUSLY. even laura agrees.
Like I said before, the crowd at Compass was pretty huge. Those kids (and their parents) who came to participate in the Kids Central Monster Kingdom thingy constituted about a fifth of the crowd.
And Mr. Jon Leong, man you could tell by the look on his face, and how he reacted so slowly that this was prolly the largest audience garnered so far at all the roadshows done. (whether he's jus reaaaallly amazed by the crowd, or if he's always so blur, i don't know - he took so long to register that he had to turn around and sign the posters, even when all the other 3 already were busy signing, even Daniel Ong laughed at him, haha)
looking around in his shades, stunned.
Still looking around, dazed. His mouth starts to fall.
Still can't believe it! Man, gotta take off those pretty shades to take a good look at this crowd.
I think today's crowd was multiple times larger than that he sees every week at the tiny studio in Mediacorp. And honey, you gotta get used to it! You'll be standing before a crowd ten times bigger than this at the Indoor Stadium!
HADY! GO HADY! The screams for Hady were the loudest. Zafirah will be proud.
Paul Twohill being interviewed by Dan. I have no idea which chio bu he's pointing at.
Before this, the 4 idols are flinging posters into the crowd. AND I ALMOST CATCH ONE BY JONATHAN LEONG (OR MAYBE LAURA WOULD HAVE CAUGHT IT TOO AND WE WOULD BE BITCHSLAPPING EACH OTHER FOR A PIECE OF PAPER =D ) BUT THIS SCHTOOPID GUY CARRYING HIS SON JUMPS UP TO CATCH IT
AND LANDS ON MY TOE.
(there's a freakin' indentation on my big toe nail! :( )
OUCH.
and whoopie!
his daughter got the poster. GRR. she was standing right in front of us and it landed right on in front of her on the floor. IF I DIDN'T GET STOMPED ON THE FOOT THE POSTER WOULD HAVE BEEN MINE, GIRLY. GRR. ALL I HAD TO DO WAS TO REACH UP AND GRAB LIKE THERE'S NO TOMORROW. grr.
:D
JON LOOKS HERE, AND THIS IS THE POINT WHERE (WE BEING IN A SPOT WHERE IT IS A 99% MUCHOS EYELINER PAUL CAMP AND A SWOONING HADY CAMP, WHERE LAURA IS POSSIBLY THE SOLE JON SUPPORTER/STALKER.) LAURA WAVES FRANTICALLY TO JON LEONG,
AND HE WAVES BACK TO HER
AND SHE GOES BALLISTIC. =D
We went to queue up for the premiums. And omg, security cut the line into 2, the malay family in front of us could go on WHILE THE LINE FROM US ONWARDS COULDN'T GET ANY MORE DAMN PREMIUMS. AND HELLO, BEEFY SECURITY GUY, THERE WERE BOXES FILLED WITH S'PORE IDOL TEES AND POSTERS. GRR. I BET YOU'RE KEEPING THEM FOR YOURSELF, YOU STUPID SECURITY JERK. PFFT.
beefy security guy (bsg) (waves us back and cuts the line in half) : okay, move back.
me (high) : okay.
bsg (speaks on his walkie talkie) : huh. ok. (to us) no more no more.
me: huh?
bsg: no more freebies. no more no more.
GRR.
and then this sweet bald bsg at the premium table was being nice and telling us that there was no more premiums nicely. rather than the other bsg who said it so condescendingly. the sweet bald bsg was also the same bsg who thanked us for queueing up. :)
Hady signing. When the crowds cleared up. HEE.
And Jasmine. She was so sweet lor. When we were watching them leave there was this cute little girl who wanted Jasmine's autograph, and she wanted to stop and sign for her, but the BSGs pushed her away and out the building. HUR.
Imagine, we were standing at the stage, and when Paul stood up to say they were about to leave (since Dan had left the building for some reason) me and laura ran back to the exit, where they were going to leave from. HAHA.
And Jon Leong said bye to us! =D=D=D and Laura grabbed Paul's thumb.
She said it felt like a thumb, only stronger.
