First Kind of Autograph Session

All these table tennis craze…

Was still hesitating late at night whether I should go for the table tennis stars’ autograph session at AMK Hub. Part of me was lazy to wake up so early to go to the event which starts at 10am. Yet there was quite a number of friends who tempted me to go. T_T

Woke up kinda early and told Ade that I’ve decided to go. Haha… When I took the escalator down to NTUC’s entrance, one person caught my eye immediately. Tall, wearing shades and red & white sportswear, talking on her phone - yes, Li Jiawei! Was completely stunned for a few moments, then went on to look for the queue. =.=

Got the queue ticket & poster from the security guard, and requested for two more, because Ade & Joselyn went to look for Eve to get the pingpong balls to sign, but he refused to give me. Poor them, couldn’t reach in time to get the last few tickets for the autograph session. =(

The event started with the offcials talking for almost an hour. Sorry, couldn’t help feeling restless…wasn’t even listening to them at all.

The autograph session finally started at around 10.45am. Whoa, first time I see people taking out so many barang-barangs for people to sign. Besides posters, signing on table tennis bats and balls were fine, but I see people letting them to sign on their bags, zi pai-ing etc. *faints* But anyway, this is the very first time I went for an autograph session of non-singers. LOL!

Wooo~ I was the 74th person in the queue. What happened when I went up…

  1. Gave Tianwei the poster and a ball to sign.
  2. Shook her hands and wished her “sheng ri kuai le” as her birthday falls on tomorrow. Wah piang, she a bit no response. =.=
  3. Proceeded to Jiawei.
  4. After she signed the things, I realized I forgot to pass the letter Ade & Joselyn wrote to Tianwei! I started to get fluttered, so I crossed my hands over to pass it to her, and got a shocked expression in return. (At that moment, I felt like a flyer distributor. OMG. Haha!) And thanks to my blurness, I forgot to shake Jiawei’s hands! =( But I still told her to “jia you“, and she replied, “Oh! xie xie!”
  5. Lastly it was Wang Yuegu. Nothing much (oops) but I also said “jia you” to her. Same reply: “Oh! xie xie!”

Ade & Joselyn even went to buy bats for them to sign, but the security guard didn’t allow those without tickets to enter. @#$%^&*! So being familiar with AMK Hub (hahahaha!), we knew where they would be leaving to. We rushed to the other exit of NTUC nearer to the carpark, and we were right! They went down the escalator to the carpark, but the security guards blocked us. Guess what? We ran down the stairs beside the escalator! LOL LOL LOL!!! After 2 sessions of chasing, I’m convinced that staircases are very useful in situations like these.

I think the guards thought that we weren’t that smart to use the stairs, so they loosen their security at the carpark. LOL! After Jiawei finally finished talking on her phone, Ade signalled to her to ask if she could sign on the bat, she nodded her head! By then, quite a lot of supporters came down to the carpark already, so the guards blocked everyone from going nearer to the car.

Fine. Haha… We also knew that there’s only one exit in the carpark, so we left the crowd and walked near to the exit to wait for them. True enough, the car slowed down when it was driving near the exit, so we had the chance to wave to them! Wah…but Lee Bee Wah was the first to wave back to us when we were actually waving to the rest of them! =.= Okay, but I saw Jiawei, Tianwei and Sun Beibei waving back. Hahaha!

Craziness! The past 3 weeks, though short, I’ve played really hard before IAP starts next week. At the same time, I have been working on minor projects and a personal project which will last for the whole of 2009. Woots!
