MAA 2008 - the day

Okay, as a Mosh Pitter, we're supposed to be in KL Sentral by 10.45am for our 11am bus, as the letter clearly stated that they will depart sharp on 11am. Yea, trust Malaysia on this. 11am simply means 12pm ceh. Whatever, as long as I get my Mosh Pit and Red Carpet pass.

Anyway, reached the First World Lobby around 1pm, had to rush to Highland Hotel cuz I had to leave my luggage in the room the others booked. I've never been to Genting for 2 years and I freaking forgot my way around it. You know Genting's tagline? Genting, City of Entertainment. One hell of a city. Everywhere looks the same to me and I got lost on my way to the Highlands Hotel. But good thing also la, all the stars were staying in the hotel next to mine. Can see them late night and early morning.

Anyway, after dumping my luggage, went to have lunch at KFC with the fangirls... and they transformed me into a very crazy fangirl for the day.
Had glitter on my face which clearly tells people "MAJOR FANGIRL COMING THROUGH". The whole group of us did that, and when we walk pass people, everyone will turn their heads and see a flock of blue fangirls with blue glitters and blue lightsticks and fanboards with Korean words. Super chio I tell you. There are even people trying to curi curi take pictures of us. Ask la woi. We will gladly shout SUPERJUNIOR in your ears =D

Went for the Red Carpet briefing in The Pavilion, and saw Adam.C! Wait for what? Take picture la of course!

So we walked into The Pavilion and waited for instructions for us to go into the Red Carpet. A hell lot of media was there. Very proud leh. KMTV SBS TV2 took footages of us cheering for SuJu. And those stations are only the ones I remember. There are a lot more lo. Woah I'm half an ELF for the day XD

The MTV crew brought us in to the Red Carpet around 3pm where we waited for more than an hour for the stars. When they pulled back the canvas to reveal the Red Carpet, everyone was cheering! It's starting soon!

Some interesting stuffs - At one time, before the red carpet started, we shouted for SuJu and got boo-ed by the others. Why har? We didn't do anything to provoke them anyway. Maybe they cannot stand fangirls la. But after some time they started to treat us real good. They chanted SuJu along with us. I think they chanted SEJUK or SOJU but who cares. As long as they're not booing and it sounds like SuJu anyway. I even heard one of them shouting for SUPER SENIOR. I like whoever who shouted that. You made me laugh =D

It started with the MTV VJs walking in. Everyone cheered and the atmosphere was really good. And then uh.. I don't remember the others cuz it was not SuJu. I remember a Malay guy who was really nice though. He asked us who was Super Junior so we told him. He was there mainly for Pussycat Dolls. So we kind of traded. We agreed to shout like crazy for PcD while he does the same for SuJu. So retarded but fun.

SuJu came after PcD's appearance. The VVIPs were really nice. They let us in to their special spot so all of us got to see EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THEM real clear. We were like barely 1meter apart from the boys. Even get to see Leeteuk's very obvious thick makeup.

I was closer at the end of the line where Heechul was. Everyone was shouting for them, asking for signatures. And Heechul was really cute, doing the infamous Siwon gesture when he politely refused.
Not this la.
This is just a picture of Heechul about to cry because I cheered for him =)

All of them look so pretty! But they look the same to me on or off TV anyway. Still really pretty la. Most say Heechul is the prettiest, but I find Leeteuk prettier than Heechul. Needless to say, Siwon and Kangin is the one for me la.

Oh and I finally get to see the others on the Red Carpet. Donghae looks okay with his long hair! For serious! It's not his best hairstyle, but it's not bad! Or maybe it's because I'm not crazy over them so I find it okay. And Ryeowook! He is so tiny and small he looks like a kid. Eunhyuk looks angry to me. Kangin moody or maybe sleepy.

SuJu came and went, and the other stars came along. Don't remember them all, so I'm just posting pictures I took at the Red Carpet. Oh and talking about pictures, one thing that got me really mad was that NO CAMERAS were allowed in the Red Carpet and the Mosh Pit area. But I look around me and everyone was busy flashing their cameras away. Some even brought in their SLRs. WTF lor for serious?!

PICTURES NOT IN ORDER OF APPEARANCE

Stefanie Sun and Electrico

The Script. Sorry, but who? And the lead singer actually made out with a chio girl at the post party. Wait, who is the lead singer anyway?!
TOR+ Saksit! Really nice and humble IMO.
Um.. one of the guys from Panic!
The Rexona boy. Dunno what's his name as well sorry ._.
Xiao Zhu!! Very handsome *squeals* !!
Lee Yu Chun - She wore sneakers with this outfit ._. so yeng!
Leona Lewis! Unglam I know. I find her better looking in pictures.
Nicholas Teo. Not a fan of him.
So thin la. Kesian. Become big star no time to makan liao.
One Republic.
The Click Five.
Karen Mok and Jared Leto.
Karen is very very very pretty in real life!! And her legs are <3!
Impossible to post ALL the pictures I took la. Too many ._. But fret not, I posted all the nicer ones. The ones I did not post are mainly blurry or simply because I do not wish to share =X

The Red Carpet was fun. Got to shake hands with a few stars although I forgot who. There were a lot of big group hugs with the stars because I was standing just behind this girl with the FREE HUGS FOR LUCK board. She's so clever la. Every star who walked past her is sure to sign her board and give her a hug in return. All except SuJu and Luo Zhi Xiang >.<

-------------------------

Rushed to the Arena of Stars where the award show is held. All the ELFs were standing in one corner because... Super Junior was seated there! Right in front of the fans!
Whatever la. I did not really care because I just wanted to enjoy the show. Did not take any pictures after it started.

The countdown started and everyone joined in. Jabbawockeez started the show. Then Pussycat Dolls came in with Buttons and made all the boys pee in their pants. The first award was given to Super Junior. So anti-climax lo. I haven't even got into the mood and they receive award liao ceh.

It was very noisy and I had no idea Siwon was speaking in English. I only managed to hear the last few words - love our fans forever and ever.
Neh, the cue to start screaming. Then they went backstage and that was it.

The show went on. I really enjoyed The Click Five's, One Republic's and Leona Lewis' performance. Because those are the only songs I know. Heck I didn't even know what song did SuJu perform to.

But that did not stop me from enjoying SuJu's performance. I loved the atmosphere the most during their performance. Sure I only recognized the intro of Don't Don but seeing everyone around me jumping to the beat made me really high.

I dunno why but I have this image of Jieying singing 가슴이 압바 stuck in my mind. Even those non-ELFs enjoyed themselves thoroughly. You could see them wow-ing and bopping their heads to the performance.

My favourite part of the perf? When Leeteuk flashed us his abs (stomach ._.) I squealed like hell! And also the part when suddenly all of them kneeled down and slapped the floor real hard with their palms. I was standing aligned to Siwon's position. Lagi best. I have no idea how to describe my feelings in words at that moment. I was feeling really proud that I was there to witness it! I tell you, you gotta see it LIVE to feel it.

During the whole show I saw this guy who reminds me of Siwon - from the side and back. He was standing in front of me, really tall and toned.
Stalker picture! JiaQian was laughing at me when I took this =.=
It's not like he's gonna be reading this anyway LOL so it's okay to post la.

-------------------------

Was really tired after the show. Did not get to sit down the whole day leh, who is not tired?! Plus we kept shouting and jumping lagi. After we bathed, I wanted to plonk myself in the bed and sleep right away.

It was around 11pm, instead of sleeping, we watched the MAA 2008 on TV. Waited for SuJu's performance to finish and then went down to yumcha with Max and Ping Chuan. Crazy lo going to yumcha at nearly 1am! But Ping Chuan is crazier. Purposely driving to Genting at midnight ._.
But it was worth it, right? =) At least you saw her before going back to the Phillipines!

We sat down at a cafe, and did not regret it. The post party was just opposite from where we were seated. Got to see a number of stars going in and out of the place. Saw some even crazier people actually waiting all night just to take pictures of the stars.

We saw Faizal, Pop Shuvit, Jared Leto, Panic at the Disco, TOR+ Saksit and I don't remember who else. One Republic maybe? Whatever. Finished my hot chocolate and went back to hotel room. SLEEP
or maybe not.

Sek Kee insists that we should not let our trip go to waste so we chatted and played games till 5 in the morning. And I woke up at 9am close to 10. WTF?! 5 hours of sleep only leh!!

Jel and me went to have breakfast with the fangirls and just when we're about to finish, Jieying said that the guy sitting opposite our table looks like Brian from Fly To The Sky. So I looked, and immediately - OH EM GEE! That's the Thailand guy la! neh, the one i said who looks like Hankyung and Yesung one!

We waited for him to finish his breakfast before going over to ask for a photo. Guards stopped us at first, but he was immensely nice and agreed. He looks a little shy =) SO cute!

We were so nervous before that because we had no idea what's his name or what song he sang. We only knew he won the award and that's it. Later we found out his name is TOR+ Saksit and he plays the piano. Okay, I love guys with piano. Like some certain Mr Choi from FT Island.

Walked around a bit, then sat the cable car to go back home =)

The SuJu experience - arrival

I'm not quite dead yet. Just really busy with assignments. A lot happened during the weekend, but I'm not quite free to blog all about it. I met Suju, went to the MAA, met Kenny Sia and shared a taxi ride with him - that was a coincidence. I'm gonna blog about it in chronological order la, but it takes some time to type it out so bear with me =)

- THIS POST IS MEANT FOR FANGIRLS. SKIP IF YOU HATE FANGIRLING -

I've been keeping myself busy with them these past few days.

So I was there when they arrived in Malaysia. You know what, forget about my previous post. I was half asleep when I wrote it.

- 31/07/2008 -

Got to the airport around 3pm, saw like.. 2 possible ELFs standing there waiting. It's impossible that there's only 2 ELFs anyway, it's still quite early, so not alot of them came yet. Well we went to deposit Jieying's heavy bag, waited, more ELFs arrive. Saw people with banners, placards/fanboards. A very kind ELF gave out blue balloons for everyone.

We greeted random tourists who looked at us holding balloons - stuffs like "Welcome to Malaysia!" "Hello!" We kept looking out for Koreans coming out through the arrival gate, cuz it would mean they came from Incheon, which would mean the boys have arrived! Then these Korean media people came out, and all of us got excited =D Obviously they were here for SuJu duh.

They started filming the fans and all of us shouted for SuJu. This lady came up to us and asked us to shout "SUPER JUNIOR 사랑해요!" which we gladly did. And then the photographer came and took pictures of us as well. Be prepared to see us on KMTV =D

The photographer who took our pictures and showed us the SuJu pics he took. We asked him who were the ones coming, and he said, "Siwon, tomorrow. Tomorrow!" which made me kinda sad cuz I was looking forward to see him.

Okay, so the boys came out around 5pm, and the airport was filled with fangirl screams. It was chaotic. Crazy stampede. I knew it was SuJu but I could not recognise who was who. All of them were wearing shades and hat. They look identical like that lor okay!

I ran to the front and managed to see Sungmin. I know it's him cuz he's not wearing shades and I managed to have a quick look into his eyes. He nodded and smiled at me, like he did to other fans as well. Weird lo, my least favourite ones are always the nicest to me. WTF same goes to MinHwan.

And I managed to take a picture of Yesung. The picture would've been nicer if it showed all of his face though LMAO. Nevermind la, this picture is so hot leh! He is better looking in person =) He's not photogenic la, macam JongHun aku.

Heard from other fans that Heechul spoke english. Full House english HAHA! Yo man, don't push! Oh yea thank you! Yo, step back! Thank you man!
And he kept protecting Leeteuk from fans all the way from the arrival gate to their bus. Like this:
I took this picture tiptoed so I did not really see it with my own eyes.
But I bet it's really cute. Heechul Leeteuk love! =D

Anyways, they got on the bus, and their manager pulled the curtains down to prevent fans taking pictures. GRRR then *boring boring boring* fangirl scream *boring boring boring* more fangirl screams *boring boring boring* guards chasing fangirls away *boring boring boring* bus finally took off.

Went back to the arrival gate to wait for SuJu M. We thought we might have to wait for quite some time, so thought of going to take Jieying's bag first. Mana tau when we were halfway there we heard screams.

DAMN

Who cares about the bag. Both of us ran back towards the arrival gate like there's no tomorrow. It was impossible to get back to our original spot so we stopped near the lift, and they were walking towards us. And that was when I saw Siwon. That boy is damn fine! The world stopped for serious. I was standing right smack in front of him. Looking at him, full view, coming closer and closer, until the guards came. Couldn't take my eyes off him, so did not see the others lo =( I wanna see Donghae also la!

So the photographer got his english wrong ._. I think he meant to tell us Siwon is coming in the next flight instead of tomorrow *shakes head* Haih, Koreans and their english.

They went into the lift, and them guards blocked the escalator. Har the guards became smart, don't wanna let us get down to their vehicle. So mad and pissed at that time cuz I still did not see Donghae yet.

And they just drove off, while some fangirls manage to chase them on the highway. Siwon took out his camera and took a picture of the fangirls chasing them ._. so wuliao. I bet they were really tired, working under that crazy dog Lee Soo Man. All four of them were sleeping in the van on their way to Genting. Siwon's mouth was widely open somemore LOL. Too bad I wasn't there. He must've looked very sexy even when sleeping with his mouth wide open =D

-------------------------

THE NEXT DAY - 01/01/2008 - Kangin and Shindong's arrival

This was much much happier and safer than yesterday for sure. Not that much fans were there, and everyone behaved kind of OK. Definitely alot well behaved than yesterday. GOOD. Guess everyone only knows how to control themselves after seeing the scary picture of Sungmin and crazy fangirls.

Oklah so anyway, we reached around 4pm+ and quickly went to, in my opinion, the best spot available. I learned alot from yesterday, lousy spot - cannot get to see them clear. Good spot - get to see everyone AND run away to other spots as well. Lucky thing no fangirls were standing there.

Everyone else was cramped in that lousy spot I dunno why. Even the official camerawoman and photographer oppa. Today's photographer was different from the ones yesterday, they have so many crew flying in from Korea har. Only the 3 of us fangirls were standing in that cun spot lo. We got ample space to run and jump and do whatever we wanted to attract the boys' attention =)

The photographer saw us and probably wondered why are we standing there. So he came over to our spot and wouldn't budge off after that ._. Har so now he knows where is the better position la. Not that we mind his company, he is kind of cute. Some eye candy for warm ups before seeing the boys *grins*

Thank god the photographer oppa was there lo. Cuz when Kangin and Shindong appeared, I was busy chatting with the others, and did not realize it. The photographer oppa suddenly shouted for the camera unnie to get ready, and the 3 of us only realized that Kangin and Shindong is walking towards us.


I started waving frantically at them. Kangin saw me and waved back =) So the 3 of us managed to see the boys before any other fans and we promised not to shout or scream cuz we don't wanna let the other fangirls know the boys have arrived =D Surprise them sikit mah!


Woah when Kangin waved at me, all my anger from yesterday disappeared just like that. Cuz he's waving at me, ONLY ME. I'm the only one standing there and waving at them mar, so it's obvious he's waving at me la! =D =D =D =D melt on the spot can. And the best thing is, I recorded it down so I can replay it again and again! *hwangjini dance* HIWEE!

They were walking real slow, as if savouring in their fans' love. Some fangirls even had the opportunity to talk to them. Yea they were that slow. Everyone had a good look at them. Happy event for everyone I guess.


Then they went into the lift and the guards blocked the escalator. Again. Like yesterday *sigh* But we were really lucky lo! Even the gods were on our side I tell you! The doors of the lift next to SuJu's opened and it was going down!


I went in while everyone else was still busy fussing over the escalator. No one else noticed that the lift can bring us to the boys and out of frustration and partly because I don't wanna kena bash by them, I shouted for the fangirls.

The result was instantaneous. Everyone poured in and I was squashed in a corner, with a lift full of screaming excited fangirls. We reached the floor the boys were, and everyone rushed out.

The scene was very funny. The doors to the lift opened, the first person to run out heads to one direction, and the others behind just follow blindly. Wanna know something even funnier? Everyone saw guards standing at one particular gate but still ran towards that gate.

What the...?

It seems like they were aiming for the guards instead of Kangin and Shindong.

Seeing everyone, even both my friends, heading towards the guards, I ran off in another direction. Yesterday's experience made me clever la =D The guards only blocked one gate, but left the other two alone. So I ran to the boys from the other guard-less gate and...
... TA-DAH! I get to see the boys super close and clear =D
with no other fangirls screaming next to my ear.
ALL ALONE - with only the crew and guards.
Sorry for the Kangin picture though, he looks dirty in it HAHA!

At first a guard saw me running towards them and came up to me, trying to block me. But then I was just standing there, looking at them, and did nothing else. He has probably never seen such a calm fangirl before. And he looked surprised that I did not scream, push or do anything obssessive like trying to squeeze their muscles LOL or fats in this case.

After realizing I'm not crazy, the guard left me alone and went to help out with their luggage. I then walked closer to the boys, already in their van, with no one bothering to stop me. The guards were trying to heave the luggages in the van so the boys could leave as fast as possible.
I gotta admit I was in some serious luck that day. I get to stare at Kangin and Shindong all I want. And when Shindong noticed me, he smiled and waved a little. Then went back to fix his very cute fringe. I waved back at Shindong, Kangin saw it, gave me this really cute smile and waved as well. I was standing like... an arm's length away from the door. Such a miracle leh that I managed to control myself and did not squeal.

The fangirls came not long after, and gathered round the van. They drove off, and I managed to see them recording in the van. Probably for KMTV.

Okay so there you go. Did not mean for this post to be this long sorry! And I have not even started on the MAA post. Will try to make that one shorter.
Sorry again if I bored you with this! =)

Day 3

Day 3 - Birthday Party + Fan Signing Session (29.03.2008)

BIRTHDAY PARTY

Woke up together with Jel around 6am, since we have to be at the Party House by 8am to set up our booth. I wore this super striking neon yellow t-shirt on purpose since I know I'll need it to catch the boys' attention =) Lousy Party House and lousy 'booth' (read: table). Blah I don't even wanna elaborate more on that. FT Island were supposed to arrive at 10.30am but they arrived around 3.15pm. During the 8am till 3pm wait all of us (fan reps and PRIs alike) just mingled around with each other and did nothing much. zzzzzz

Finally we saw the boys arrive in their car and us fan reps just got ready at our booths. I was peering into their not-so-heavily-tinted car for signs of JongHun and met MinHwan's eyes looking at me and mouth agape. Okay the 막내 got me happy again =) I must keep up dressing so colourful-ly next time!

I forgot who got out of the car first, but I do remember JaeJin's look when he got out. He had this really heart-wrenching expression on his face, as if he couldn't believe the place he was in. I turned my face away, and then I saw JongHun. BAM! He took my breath away. again. 帅到!!

Then I heard Kelly and Geral say 감사합니다! We actually planned it beforehand to say it together but I forgot ._. Anyway, JongHun was just in front of me when he replied 안영하세요 to them. HAHA more reasons for me to drool. He was so tall O_O and his voice is so deep and sexy =P Too bad he was wearing sunnies, can't get to see his eyes up close.

Fast forward. We got in the venue and waited for FT Island to appear. Everyone sang birthday songs and FT Island appeared. All fans went crazy and screamed. At this point I realized they wouldn't notice me even though I was seated just behind the sponsors, because there were simply too many fans! Ok I need Plan B. And I got one on the spot. My hoodie from my super striking neon yellow t-shirt! =) The moment I put it on JongHun spotted me straightaway AHAHAHA~ OKlah he was wearing sunnies so I don't know if he was looking at me, but he turned his face my way and stared for quite some time la. So I'll just be thick-skinned and make myself happy =)

Self-introducing time. WonBin was first. The moment he opened his mouth to talk everyone around screamed. except for me. And I actually recoiled because I couldn't stand the screaming. One thing I don't like about fangirls is their screaming (Although I'm guilty of it as well. sometimes. =P). And JongHun looked my way at that moment. He pointed to HongKi and HongKi looked over as well. And he smirked. Thinking back of it, I think it must have been pretty obvious. Everyone around me was standing up and cheering, and in the midst of them, a person wearing a yellow hoodie was backing away. TSK TSK I hope they're not thinking that I'm an unsupportive fan =( because I did scream when it was JongHun's turn to talk. And I was the one who shouted back "I LOVE YOU TOO!" when he said "I Love You!" XD

Don't have anything much to boast talk about anymore during the birthday party cuz there are already a lot of other fancams floating around the Net which captured better stories and images than my memory can serve me.

FT Island left the venue after around 15 minutes and us fan reps bolted out using our booth as an excuse =) Jel got a wave from HongKi and I got one from MinHwan LOL. Couldn't spot JaeJin and JongHun in the car =( Kelly got a handshake from WonBin and the rep from loveft-i touched WonBin's muscle I think O_O Don't really remember. You see, us Malaysians are so well behaved, we don't touch touch around although we want to [HAHA!] Nolah, if I have the chance of course I will =D They then took off to Cineleisure for their fan signing event, and MinHwan waved goodbye to us from the car. Yes, the 막내 again =) It's always him!

After waiting for more than 7 hours, was it worth it? Maybe to some. I blame it on myself for having no camera and also for having lousy seats. Fortunately, there are some generous and selfless Primadonnas who has nice pictures and doesn't mind sharing it with us. And I'm gonna post my fav ones here!


Love this picture the most because it's JongHun! it's so HQ


Glad to see HongKi fooling around like how we know him


Like this because it's so clear and it's JongKi! <3


Smiling away so happily....




It's not a clear picture, but it seems like he's waving towards the camera yea? =)


My angel =P HAHA




This picture ada "feel" to it


____________________________________________________________

FAN SIGNING

Rushed to Cineleisure on taxi, when we got there it was packed! So proud of Malaysian FTI supporters! At least FT knows they've got a lot more fans here in Malaysia, not only those from the airport and birthday party!

I have nothing much to say here, since I was in the very last row, and I did not have the opportunity to even have their signatures, so no stories to tell. I have pictures to share though =)


Forgot where I got this picture from


Like how HongKi looks in here =)


JongHun's expression!! <3


All of them seems happy ^^

Day 4 - Concert + After Concert Party + Departure

Concert canceled, therefore no after concert party as well. So I just waited at Sunway Amphtitheatre until 10.30pm, and then went back home to cry =)

Did not go to airport to see them off. The biggest regret of the year! >.< It's over anyway. Memories will stay forever =)

And now we have to worry about the aftermath.................
