Brand new year, 2014. It has been totally great so far. Backtrack for a little, I attended the Celebratetv50 countdown at the floating platform this year, for the first time, and alone as well, for the sake of seeing Leehom for the first time in my life ever since I started listening to his songs in 2009 (5 years already!) Even though I was alone, this year's countdown was still special; celebrating with many Mediacorp artistes, The Wanted and Leehom :) Watched my first mini-concert of the year; Leehom performed for nearly an hour after 12mn :') It was freaking amazing to see and hear him live!! Didn't sleep a wink and in the morning, set off to go to Gentings! ^_^
Day 1 (SG > Gentings) : Check-in to hotel, rested and proceed to eat dinner with parents. Wanted to try out the skyventure (that skydiving simulator thing) but ended up didn't. After that, headed to bowl and watch "Police Story 2013" with 아빠 and 동생.
Day 2 (Gentings): Lunch with parents again, then SHOPPING TIME! Bought a little, but spend quite a large amount. :<
Day 3 (Gentings to KL): Proceed to set off to KL via taxi! Reached metro hotel, waited for check-in and also my roommate, Poh Lyn. Though we met once (and literally just introduced ourselves during our first meeting), I was actually quite worried if we would talk when we meet. I know I can talk to friends online like there's countless stuff to talk about, but IRL, not so easy. I am that socially awkward person who don't know how to start a conversation. Haha, at first, it's kinda awkward, but after that, we broke the ice and started talking. I think the best things to talk about is Kwang Soo, our common interest (aka boyfriend) LOL. So, that day, we took the monorail to KLCC and I saw the Petronas Twin Tower IRL for the first time! *\^o^/*. Ate yogurt with Poh Lyn while she waited to exchange for her giraffe hats. Then we ate Penang food for dinner! ^_^ Met up with Jiayii, a Brunei fan who is here in Malaysia for Kwang Soo as well :) Same thing happened again, I was awkward around Jiayii, but was glad that we talked quite a lot at the airport! xD Took KLIA express to airport to meet up with the rest! Met up with the girls from KwangsooholicHK fanbase, Leong and two of his friends there. Set up banners and stuff, we were totally done with everything 1.5 hours before Kwang Soo's plane landed. The FaithnD organisers came as well, and when Leong introduced that I was the Singaporean fan, the organiser was like "Wei Ting ah?" and I was quite shocked yo. Haha. Anyway, we were walking around and thinking where is the best place to see Kwang Soo, ended up choosing the glass area, where we could see him the moment he exits. Well, the view was AMAZING HAHAHAHA TOTALLY LOVE IT! Kwang Soo came out, saw a lot of us waving at him, and he waved back! xD
OMO Kwang Soo yahh, I missed you so so so much ever since I last saw you in SG! The moment he walked past the viewing glass area, I ran to the outer exit (Those there would know what I meant) and when Kwang Soo came out with his guards, I tried to go as close as him as possible, because I wanna touch his hand. But epic enough, I held onto his wrist for like two full seconds.
I don't know if time had slow down when such things happened, or it's really 2 seconds long. OMO. I let go after realizing that I might hold his wrist too tight? I ain't really sure but I definitely won't wanna hurt him unintentionally. Took a video of him walking with his guards, and fans were pushing around & running, but managed to catch a few seconds of him upclose to me and he looked at my camera once (though he's in shades but I could see his face turn to my camera before he turned back). He went into the another exit, where the crowd couldn't get in. This time, I lost all my friends in the midst of the chaotic situation of chasing after Kwang Soo xD Finally saw Poh Lyn, then I was laughing hysterically like a mad woman, and tearing a little bit, then after that I zone-out nearly the entire night. Thanks to Leong, he prepared a lot of this fanmeet, he booked two minivans for almost 20 fans (we all know Leong) to fetch us back to our respective hotels from the airport.
I swear it was epic, the tap couldn't work because we didn't use it correctly, even called the receptionist up at 1 AM to check the tap. LOL!
Day 4 (KL): Complementary breakfast at the hotel! Ate quickly and met Yutong at Imbi station, went down to Hilton hotel with her & Poh Lyn. Saw Jiayii there too, met up with her, went to the M&G. I was really lucky to get this M&G pass via lucky draw T.T OMOOOO. Went into the waiting room, met up with Leong & Pau! :) Chatted there, waited for nearly 45 minutes, and we were split into two groups to enter the room for "M&G". I was looking around the room for Kwang Soo, and he greeted us as we walked in, then the rules stated was that we are not supposed to take any photos with our phones, but one brave fan took out her phone and took a selca with Kwang Soo. As humans, we seize at every opportunity to be in the same photo as Kwang Soo, so we squeezed in and it became a mini group photo LOL. I was standing behind Kwang Soo, on his right side :3 An official photograph was taken by the photographer, which is our "M&G" LOL, it's fine, I (in fact, we all fans) have think too much about the M&G, we actually thought we could have 1-to-1 time with Kwang Soo, even if it's just for 1 minute. LOL, think too much.
Also, for once, I was taller than him because I was standing & he's sitting, LOL! xD After the photo was taken, many people asked for his autograph, and all I did was putting my hand out, because I wanted a handshake. Hahaha, so, finally, I was about to be chased out already, Kwang Soo held my hand and shook it. It's not the usual type of handshake you do when you meet people, it's the "Hold-me-gently" handshake. I was KANDKIXNKSCJSWJCKSWJCLMS. I think I zoned out because I don't remember what happened next T.T Proceeded off for lunch with Leong, Pau, Yutong & Poh Lyn @ Macs at KL Sentral. Took Leong's car back to our hotel, slacked a while, then helped Irene to check in to her room. Then, Poh Lyn & I took taxi to KWC, where we meet up with Jiayii, her sis & mum too. Anddddddddddd we walked 8 flights of stairs to the 15th floor from the 7th, because the lift is seriously AJNXKSNCNSKC. The show was really amazing! I was sitting at the first row, however, the stage is still far away, and worst is that the speakers/things on the stage actually blocked some views to see him properly. However, the show is still daebak, I could see his sincerity towards his fans :') He melted my heart with his singing again, though he isn't a singer. I am pretty mesmerized by him. And there were many times he looked towards our direction, and we kept waving at him to get his attention. He sees it sometimes :3 When he was singing "I believe", he came down the stage again, and this time, I took super upclose photos of him, and even held his finger (I think it's index finger) LOL T.T WHYYYYY do I always hold the awkward places of his arms but not his palms?? During the premium hi5 session, I did something special/weird. I helped Kwang Soo wear a bracelet that I bought for myself as well. I kinda zoned out after I passed his gifts to the staff, I wondered if I greeted him before I help him with the bracelet, as I was afraid that the staff would rush me. Then since his white yarn-knitted long sleeve shirt was covering his wrist, the first time the bracelet couldn't fit the wrist, so, HE HIMSELF ADJUST THE SLEEVE UP SO I CAN WEAR THE BRACELET ON HIS WRIST. OMOOOOO his fanservice T.T then, the second time I tried, the buckle didn't lock properly, it got loose again, this time, I was so afraid of getting chased by the staff, I gave up buckling (and the staff were like "okok"), then as I walked away, Kwang Soo and my hands were touching for a while as he said "thank you thank you" with a grateful and happy/smiling face, and I said "byebye".
Am I sane? LOL. I am pretty sure I was insane after seeing him so upclose that I answered him with a byebye.
After that, I was down the stage and he was about to leave the stage, and so, I did a mega heart shape with my arms, and HE SAW AND USED HIS ARMS TO MAKE THE MEGA HEART SHAPE WITH HANDS ON TOP OF THE HEAD BACK... OMG SICSJMLOCMACSLC. Some fans stayed behind and waited behind the barrier where we saw him leave the backstage. Oppa, I miss you!!!
Went for late dinner with admins of KwangsooholicHK, LKSCN, LKSglobal, and other fans at Jalan Alor. It was a good new experience of the night life at KL. The casual yet great food places, yum! Walked back to Metro hotel with Irene+sis, Pau & Poh Lyn. That night, our withdrawal symptoms were massive. After lights out, we were still talking. But both of us were tired, and I was talking gibberish LOL.
Day 5 (KL to SG): Complementary breakfast with Pohlyn, then parted at Imbi station as she heads back to Perak and I met up with my parents at Berjaya Time Sq Hotel :( I start to miss my friends that I had met here, Poh Lyn, Pau, Leong & Jiayii. We had a lot of fun here, fanboy/girling with them, it was amazing to meet such a nice bunch of friends, especially Poh Lyn & Leong whom helped me get the ticket to this fanmeet, or else I wouldn't be able to attend. :')
That night, I was watching YouTube, which I was deprived on for 5 days in Malaysia due to my prepaid limited connectivity. Suddenly I just picked up my phone and checked for notifications and I saw the word "이광수" in my notifications. Just literally that, but I thought that there were many other people/fans that uses that name as their username as well. But, I still checked my Twitter account. Whilst checking, I was thinking "
Wah, this is not funny leh, omg" as I have gotten mini heart attacks from profiles that uses the name and retweet my tweets. I can't believe it. Went to Kwang Soo's profile, I saw the most amazing thing that I actually didn't expect it to happen to me, the
"FOLLOWS BACK" word. T.T I was smiling and smiling, then I started crying, quite a lot, *phew no one was near me when I was crying*, then I laughed (bipolar bitch), then cried a little again. As I typed this I also wanted to cry, LOL. :') I can't believe it!! T.T Poh Lyn kept saying about the fanbase that I am holding on to getting a follow back from Kwang Soo. I knew it wasn't anything easy, for someone like me who doesn't know any long korean sentences to write to Kwang Soo. But thanks to the fanbases that he follows and retweets my tweet, he probably noticed the fanbase via you guys :') thank you soooooooo much :')
This pretty much sums up my fangirling experience since 2014 started! Still having withdrawal symptoms, but hopefully I will get over it soon, because SCHOOL+ASSIGNMENTS >:(
