Who would have thought I'd be meeting 3rdwave, Brian and Xander one day? I wouldn't, although I do hope for it...
I definitely did not expect that day to come so soon. It was really a pleasant surprise how the events turned out to be-like an early Christmas present. My first, and the awesomest (most awesome).
So I met up with Joy and all throughout the journey to the event venue, we were spazzing, trying to keep our excitement. Well, at least I knew I were.
We alighted at Kelana Jaya station and had a short walk to a.... ...residential area... It was drizzling. And we weren't sure where were we. Not good... Asked around the shop-lots and no one knew where Plaza Moyang was! Double not good... *sigh* Nevertheless, we kept moving and met a police car. Asked directions, and it happened to be just higher up the slope. We'd never expect Lincolin university to be in the middle of a residential area!
Got there, bought CDs and were seated at the Vee-Ah-Pee (VIP) seats babeh! Thanks Joy for the quick thinking.
Flashing lights came on, emcees went up and down, kids from the orphanage did some cool numbers and the stage went dark again. Guitar riffs started playing. The intro to 'I Stand'. Silhouette of a person came striding on stage. The lights came on and there Brian was! Along with pastor Johnny leading the 3rdwave band. They played and sang, and we in the audience just sat back and enjoyed the performance. I didn't have my camera with me so no fuss about capturing the moment. Did try with phone camera though but couldn't get decent stuffs. Better not be bothered and keep the moments printed in the head.
After a few numbers, they all went backstage and surfaced a few moments later. Came in Brian and PJ with some short ments before introducing their last and youngest member on stage. Xander came hopping onto stage with the Gangnam horse dance. He's really into that dance I think cause he just pop into that hopping dance whenever he thinks is appropriate. Cute dude he is.
The night flew by and soon the ushers went on stage to set up the tables for the AUTOGRAPH SESSION!!! YAY!!! WE GET TO SEE THEM UP CLOSE!!! AND SHINSHIP!!! OMGOMGOMG!!!
Joy and I were churning our brains to how to get a real close shot when they were signing. But when it came to be our turn, with our cameras ready, we were told that no photography were allowed. *sigh* Oh wells... And they wouldn't do name signs either!! T.T *wails* I want a name sign!! *throws tantrum in my head*
***conti-ed AGES later 7.10.13***
After our turn, we wouldn't give up on getting a good close shot of them so we stood in front of the stage (so much for worship concert huh? Sad...) and glued our eyes and lenses at them. Somehow, I like Brian more that night... So humble... Or Brian changed my perspective of him that night-not that it was bad initially but probably cause he was older? From the first generation of idols? I mean, I entered kpopdom when the 2nd or 3rd generation is at their peek (IF i didn't get the generation timeline wrong...nyways, entered in late 2007 so you know). Xander was cold or distant... Maybe tired? (someone shouted 'excuses' in my head and booed at him...but it's all good. I mind slapped the voice).
*Things happened during the signing and some memories had faded...but my brian will remember...so I shall not write it out.*
At the end of the signing, when they are saying their goodbyes, Xander and Brian fooled around...and I was so close to them...got a photo of it... It's in my phone and laptop and facebook... Brain, if this blog is Dear Diary, I'll know it... So I'll skip the details...or till the next time I feel like editing this...probably another year later.
That's all.
Gnights!
Ps. Pardon me for my uncontrolled Virginia Woolf writing.

Surreal Weekend 1 - Journey of Faith
Who knows what's gonna pop up in life? Nobody! Only God knows. And God is good. He's an awesome God!
So after seeing my previous angry and mad-at-everything-everyone posts, one might thought I'd never see daylight here. Or that was what I thought... But praise the Lord! He is good!
I couldn't thank Him enough for His arrangement for me. Although to some, especially some saints, it might seem that I am chasing after worldly things... But all throughout this journey, I felt, I was really trusting on Him.
Firstly, leaving campus and jaunting alone to the heart of the city, I had friends advising me against it. A complex place Bukit Bintang area is. Piercing stares at vulnerable looking targets and I am definitely in that target as gullible as I am. To make it worse, my navigation skills are at the top of the list...in reversal.
Then having an 8 pm show, predicted by the time the session ends, it would be late. Impossible for me to travel alone back to hostel, like it or not, I need to find an accommodation. So I hooked up with Joy, a friend I've met online, and we've known each other for years. Now, who says we can't trust cyber friends? Fandom friends are the best!
I know you must've started thinking how foolish I am and what a foolish thing I'm doing. Only words exchange through social media sites and texts, Facebook photos and had never met. An idea of a lunatic! Especially with all the cases happening in the world, I still am so naive to put my safely out there, risking to meet them.
Of course I had my doubts, if not I wouldn't have these sentences, they had been in my head since the beginning. Consulted my friends, my sister... My worries were shown. Was at the verge of giving up on seeing them. But prayer became my courage... Plans were that after the event, I would follow her home, which coincidentally was the week she goes back to her parents place, is where I shall spend the night. I prayed to the Lord that I'd be in good hands, His and theirs... I had nothing else but faith.. I've never felt so vulnerable. I only had Him.
Now, doubts and worries aside, it was really a blessing how it happened. It was a lazy night where I was taking my zillionth break from my books and reaching for the phone, I chanced upon a giveaway contest by KAvenyou. '25 fastest fingers to share the event photo and tag KAvenyou' wins. I'd never expect myself to be in the fastest 25. Especially not after the slow loading and KAvenyou's status update 'We've found our 25 winners just within 5 minutes!' which was updated 10 minutes ago... What chances do I have? Nevertheless, I still checked out the winners' list out of curiosity. And there I am, number 21 if my memory serves me well... OH WOW! I've won a pair of tickets to see 3rdwave's Ignite Kpop Charity Concert 2012! I was shocked! And surprised! And excited! How could I not be? I'd be meeting Brian Joo and Alexander!!!
It was just surreal.. =)
