peng lah... the meet and greet was so brief lah! it was more of a meet without a greet... arghh.

So... what happened today leh? let me recall...

ok. i went to school this morn to study cos i know i would just jump around with excitement if i stayed at home. did half of cjc physics prelim paper 3 ( with much help from the solutions) then went home to get ready for the big night. borrowed yan's handbag (thank u!) to use. finally decided to bring last year's concert dvd for westlife to sign. Then rushed out to meet anna at bishan. ate at yoshi. both of us were so nervous that we couldnt finish our meal lah! Then went up to Popular to buy silver markers. Rushed to the mrt, praying that we would reach the Singapore Indoor Stadium by 7pm. That was the time the girl from mtv said to meet her btw. Got off at cityhall and took a cab. We were so afraid that we couldnt reach in time you know. Plus, it was raining when we got into the cab... lucky when we reached, we were 10min early and it stopped raining!

Then came the waiting. The mtv girl was almost half an hour late lah! Even westlife arrived earlier than her... I didnt see them arrive, but i heard hysterical screams around 7.15... so it's not that hard to guess actually. lol.

While waiting, i told mtv girl anna and me had bought tix beforehand, and since the seats mtv gave were worse, i asked if it was ok for us to leave the group and go to our seats after the meet and greet. Thing is, this woman (one of the 4 contest winners) eavesdropped on our conversation and heard that i had 2 extra tix. So she asked me for it. And i actually gave it to her!!! I so so so regret it now. she was so snobbish lah. doesnt deserve the meet and greet. I feel so cheated!!! argh. actually out of the 4 ppl who won the contest, i was the craziest amongst them. eh no, actually, anna was crazier than me! But she was the friend i asked along, so technically, i was the craziest one among the winners. =p The rest were nonchalant about this meet and greet thing! so sad...

anyway, we waited till about 8pm before we could finally meet the band. by that time i was already so sian-ded. i overheard the conversation between some angmoh and the mtv girl. he was saying westlife are running extremely late. i think he almost refused to let us meet the band lah.. wth! Then we went backstage and waited somemore. Saw jamie yeo there! mmm. anyway, anna suddenly grabbed my arm and went,"ahhhhhh!! i see shane!!!" My heart almost stopped i tell you. couldnt see him at first, but then i saw a group of people wearing white coming in our direction. I looked closer, and whoa! westlife! in the flesh! After shaking hands with the group of people in front of us they went straight into a room. Shane was first to go in, followed by nicky(my fav! =p), kian and mark. The mtv girl then said to us, "It's going to be very fast, just go in and take a group photo. no individual shots." ARGHH!!

Went into the room, saw the four of them sitting there. OMG. so handsome! they look exactly the same in photos... proof that they dont need photoshopping of their pics... haha!!

Nicky... blond hair, blue eyed cutie. ahhhh! so good looking!

Ok here comes the real sad part.

When we went in (8 of us in total), nicky was the first to speak.

"Hiya, how are y'all doing tonight?"

NOBODY ANSWERED.

Disaster lah!! could almost hear the crickets already...

We shuffled in, clutching the posters mtv girl gave. went behind westlife and had our picture taken. I GOT THIS CLOSE TO KIAN! Saw nicky's heeeuuge wedding ring. mm. We were on our way out when shane asked,"would u like us to sign?" I wanted so much to scream a "yes" but somehow, my lips were glued tight. Lucky someone else said yes, otherwise it would be damn awkward lah. Can u imagine? Your idols asks if u want their autographs and no one answers? I dont dare think about it! hmm. And hor, i didnt dare make eye contact with them! i've dreamt so much about meeting them, and when i really do meet them, i clam up. STUPID!! wanna kick myself.

And so, lucky for us, we got our posters autographed. Mark was the last to sign, so when i got back my poster from him, i said "thank you very much!"

And you know what was the response?

Blank stares from the band.

AHHHH!!! i wanted to go run and hide!!! Maybe it was because i didnt say it properly, cos they looked at me as if i was speaking arab or something. Somebody save me!! that was uber embarassing can!

Anna was behind me and she was the last to get her poster back. i was already out of the room ( i couldnt possibly stay there, could i???!!) and when she came out, she said shane and mark said thank you, enjoy the show! AHHH!! so unfair!! oh well. so basically, the meet and greet was just us walking around the same table twice and poof! we were shooed out. bleh.

The indoor stadium was just 3/4 full, and the audience was made up of people in their 20s and 30s. HUH??!! how come?? thought should be brimming with crazy teenagers like me. lol. oh we saw phyllis quek there too. saw eugene from s23, but well, who gives a damn. ha!

Concert started around 8.30 with westlife appearing from behind a black curtain and they sung Flying Without Wings. Halfway through the concert the majority of audience was still sitting down and when urged us to jump, only the front few rows of ppl jumped. ahhhh!! another disaster. During the song Senorita, the ladies were supposed to sing "I don't know what I'm thinking bout, really leaving with you"... it flopped i tell you. S'pore audience are just not spontaneous enough! could see that the band was also sian-ded... they didnt enjoy themselves! they didnt perform their hearts out. nicky forgot his lyrics and dance moves once, mark sang off-key once. But overall, their dance moves were good! quite hot. lol! and man, can they sing live!!! they do it so well! unlike most bands, who just concentrate on real hardcore dancing and cant sing for nuts. dumb. Oh and there was one part where they started "stripping" on stage, and mark showed his Playboy boxers to the crowd. The girls went mad lah!

Took pics of the band performing and u know what? This, i have to say to ah loy. YOUR CAMERA DIED ON US WHEN IT WAS THE FINALE!!! battery so short life!! AHHHHH!! i want to smash your cam!! >.<

Well that was how my night was spent. The indoor stadium is the worst place a band can perform in la wth. they should really do something about it. oh have i mentioned that i screamed myself hoarse? wahaha...

"don cha wish your boyfriend was hot like me?"- Don cha

"might as well face it, you're addicted to love"- Addicted to love

Everything felt so surreal. It's like you know they are there on stage in front of you, but you dont really dare believe it's really them.
