尋找我的一片天~ LOOKING FOR MY SKY OF LOVE
FATED TO LOVE YOU/ DESTINY LOVE MALAYSIA PROMOTION '08
To start of, here's a disclaimer: If you are not a fangirl, not a fellow spastic color creature, or if you're a oh-i'm-so-mature-fangirling-is-a-total-waste-of-time person (YOU YES YOU. DON'T LOOK AROUND, IT'S YOU), you won't be able to understand this post. Well... As much as I don't get affected by comments like CRAZY, SIAO, EEE SO UGLY or whatever, I don't exactly appreciate them either. So please, if you're planning to post something negative, kindly ignore this post (:
I'm in a pretty _____________ calm mood now, after immersing in overwhelming tian love; so I may not sound too HIGHHHH, but trust me- I WAS definitely high) Hope this will be a complete post, my mind is pretty blank now. (OKAY this is going to be long post, feel free to skip parts : ])
Materials prepared:
Board
Present for Tian
(Oh yeah, do note that I've the habit of calling Ethan Ruan Jing Tian "Tian"; Bear with it :P)
Started off this journey in looking for my SKY OF LOVE at 8am in the morning, 26th September 2008. The bus-ride was pretty fine, and despite it taking relatively long, I felt really happy and satisfied just with the thought that I would be able to see HIM in a few hours' time. It was some sort of a 幸福 feeling I guess- there was just this nice lovey dovey feeling implanted in me- not too overwhelming, just enough to make me happy. Also with much thanks to this constant thought that kept my mind occupied, very soon I got to Berjaya Times' Square.
Checked into the hotel, got a pretty hotel room - which oh shit, reminds me I forgot to take any pictures- and lugged my board out. Found this restaurant like place where we ordered BBQ sotong, BBQ lala and Horfun. The food WAS REALLY SPICY. Not the nice type of spicy, it's the spicy which lingers in your throat after going down, the very qiang4 type of spicy. I'm not saying I can take chilli very well; but even my mom found it crazily spicy. For someone who always asks for additional chilli, Well.. that has to say something. Anyway, I was kinda worried that I would be late for the private event- so I kept reminding them of the time... Since I'm the big boss (xD) there, we didn't really finish the food; and got down pretty quickly to THE SUMMIT SUBANG USJ.
Went immediately to THE SUMMIT AUDITORIUM after buying the DVD, only to realize not a single soul is there yet. Okay so there were some people in charge of registrations there- but there were absolutely no fans at all. None, zero, zilch. Hung around there for quite some time, then we decided to go get some ice-cream at MacDonalds cos it was getting REALLY HOT. I was already sweating like crazy- accordingly to my mom it's cos I'm really too nervous- but as much as I know, or as much as the inner me is willing to admit, NO, it was just really warm there. WENT down, got two sundaes, didn't really have the mood to eat them, and went back up again in like 15 minutes. -____- I know. Anyway, NOW there were A LOT of people; and I'm glad (: Met Rainbow and some other fellow FC members, chatted for a while before the official registration started, and quite a number liked the board :D :D :D Here's a confession: I didn't FULLY make the board myself, my mom helped me cut the hard plastic board (or whatever it is called). Well, THANK YOU MUMMY.
Went into the auditorium after quite a while, first thought: AIR-CON OMG FINALLY. Sat beside Angeline (invisible), Rainbow, and tadang! *drum rolls* CHEN. XIN. YI! HAHA omg. I was so surprised when I heard her name too xD Anyway, The host blabbered on for at least an hour before Tian came, and the only thought- or rather THOUGHTS I had in my mind during this period of time was: oh my god, am I really going to see him? Is this really THE event where I'm going to see him? Am I dreaming? It really wouldn't be surprising if I was actually dreaming actually; I dream of Tian so much it isn't normal. Chatted quite a bit with Angeline, since she shares a common love for JAY CHOU JIELUN xD I really like chatting with people with common interests. Sharing star encounters are just fun, and it feels like you can just chat on forever.
So one hour passed (not too fast), and finally the host announced THEY ARE HERE AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! After making us applaud (which didn't sound too enthusiastic, I blame it on the long waiting hours), they finally came out. Two words came into my mind immediately after seeing Tian- OH MY. The last time I had this feeling was when I saw Jay at the Secret premier; it's the feeling of seeing THE MAN in your dreams, THE MAN you've been wanting to see since forever, THE MAN. And really, he looks awesome. I wouldn't dare say there's no biased-ness involved in this, but IMO he really did look great. Plus, I'm not one of is superficial enough to consider looks only, I look for F-E-E-L xD
His tan looks great. It's not as BLACK as it looks, really. It's this glowing.. shining kinda shade, and it's just a omgggg *dies* kinda feel. Um.. Yes :D I'm alright, thanks.
Anyhoo, Self-introduction time! Tian introduced Qiaoen as the group leader which will go first. It goes like this: Qiaoen is the group leader, and Tian is the assistant group leader. The only group member- who wasn't present is Chen Chu he, haha (No wait, this should be HEHE xDD) It was definitely amusing XD After this was the time for the audience (who were picked just now) to ask Tian and Qiaoen questions, and Tian received a question first. I think the girl who questioned him called him 硬經天 (Ying Jing Tian) or something, so he was like O.O what? The girl repeated Ying Jing Tian, and this made Tian walk towards her and SIT ON THE STAGE RIGHT FACING HER. AHHH IF ONLY THAT WAS ME. After questioning, Qiaoen suggested for the girl to go sit beside Tian and HE PATTED ON THE SPACE NEXT TO HIM, PROMPTING THE GIRL TO COME SIT. AHHHHHHHHH *dies* So the girl went on and Tian answered the question.
Then yeah, the next time a guy got to ask the question, and he 理所當然的 went to sit beside Tian too.
JEALOUS I KNOW. Anyway, so the private fans meeting session was pretty much just like that, and after all the questions came photo-taking time (: Squatted down in front for the picture, HOPE I'LL GET IT SOON! Anyway, took this chance to pass Tian the heart, and he went Aww (or Ohhh), then 多謝 to me in cantonese. That stunned me for a while- like HELLO THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THE MAN IS TALKING TO ME REAL LIFE- then when I returned back to earth I realized he has stuck his big hand out for me to shake :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
Somehow I was messing with the camera in my hand, attempting to get it off or something so I could shake his hand. He could very well go off or something while I was being plain clumsy- BUT THANK GOD HE STILL HELD HIS HAND THERE! After clumsily fumbling with the camera for a million years, I finally got to shake his hand. AHH. The feeling of getting to shake his hand.. It isn't an AHHHHHHHHHHH feeling, I didn't see the need to shriek or anything, it's just this feeling of.. Idk, numbness (I really don't know how to describe this) that runs through your whole body, from your brain to your back and everywhere. And during that period of time, your soul kinda floats off to somehow non-existent, while you continue looking at *him* I wonder if celebrities are used to fangirls having this kinda reactions ._. Anyway, after a period of time (since I'm the one getting.. hypnotized now I don't actually know how long it lasted), we got off stage and quickly chiong-ed to get our belongings to rush down for the autograph session.
WE WERE DA VIPs @ THE AUTOGRAPH SESSION! Hehe. Got the crowd to part for us again, while we walked through to the media area. Tian arrived about half an hour later, wearing a new tee that fully flaunts his perfect figure and um. his "cleavage" XD SHUAI DAI LEEEEEEEEE!
Some lucky fans, including CHEN XINYI, got to play games with them on stage. The first game was one which asks for the contestants to reenact a particular scene from Ming Zhong, scenes being Qiaoen in the chicken suit, and the drunk Tian (from first ep) respectively. When it was time for the contestants to reenact Tian's scene, Tian said the main point of the whole scene is not his posture or anything, it's- QIaoen continued- HIS BROWS. Hahahhaha. It was so amusing.
Then yeah, there was another game where they got Tian and Qiaoen to stick sticky-notes (with answers) on to the bodies of two fans. I bet that fan who managed to get Tian sticking notes all over her felt awesome. Well, AT LEAST I WOULD HAVE DIED! Hahaha. Later when the host was asking questions for them to look for the answers, Tian was complaining that it's unfair to him coz he's taller XD What a boy AWWWWWW
2 people completely living in their own world, haha
Other pics:
Say hello to my dearest charcoal man XD
Anyway, then the games and interviews ended, and it's now time for another group photo! :D Tian walked over to shake hands with us first, AND I GOT TO SHAKE IT AGAIN YO. I STUCK MY HAND OUT AND HE SHAKED IT YO! WOO! SEE THAT'S WHY I LOVE HIM XD Then the press and media started taking pictures from the stage, where the host was prompting "Okay look at Tian's left side.. Now center... Blahblah" It felt... Like we are celebrities too HAHA.
Autograph session next! Went on stage, and (I'm really sorry to say this) totally ignored the presence of Qiaoen. LOOK IT'S NOT MY FAULT THIS HAPPENED. IT'S THE MAN SITTING NEXT TO HER. THE MAN. As much as I love QIaoen too- she's the amazing lead for both my favorite idol dramas- I'm sorry, Tian rules. So yeah, while I floated off to my sky of love while staring at ever dearest Tian, she successfully pulled me back by saying "天黑黑? 哈哈" I dropped back to earth, OW, and realized her hand there, all ready to shake mine. Can only say, I'M SORRY. I (hopefully) gave her an apologetic look, shook her hand, and went back to my Tian XD When he looked up, he said, WITH A SMILE, "天黑黑, 很清楚 剛剛看到了 謝謝!" Nownow, guess what happened to me again? That's right- I floated right back up to the sky of love. It's like JFHJHFJSHFJHS OMG AWWWWWWWWW AHHHHHH OMG! *dies* *floats back again* Ahh. Then yep, asked him if he could sign on the FC board (which he recognizes everywhere :D) He was all ready to sign it until the *insert your own vulgar adjective here* worker stopped him and told me they are only autographing DVDs today. UGH PFFFFFFFFT. Still, THANK YOU TIAN FOR WANTING TO SIGN IT! (Yes the retarded, irritating and spastic fangirl in me is acting up now)
Oh yeah, fact is I looked extremely unglam during this whole period of time- cos I was practically dripping with sweat. IT WAS REALLY WARM, LIKE SERIOUSLY. My FSJFKJSKF hair messes up like nobody's business when it gets wet, so yeah. Sadly. Oh wells, whatever.
And so... My encounters with Tian ended like that. I'm not disappointed with him at all; he has lived up to my expectations and even exceeded it. Thank you Tian!
Thanks to fellow fangirls from Ethan's FC, especially Rainbow, Chen Xinyi and Angeline, this trip was made even better. If you guys are reading this- THANKS SO MUCH FOR HELPING ME FIND MY WALLET! You guys could have left, but you didn't. THANK YOU SO MUCH! And also for recommending places with nice food and shopping, we really enjoyed ourselves (: YOU GUYS ROCK!
(Okay this post more or less ends here, but here are some long winded reflections if you're interested)
You know, one thing that makes me like Tian so much- I love how sincere he is. The look in his eyes has an undoubted sincerity in it; and when he thanks you, you really, really feel that he truly appreciates you as a fan. (I know I've said something similar about Jam before, but it's just different) In contrast lets look at Jielun. Having being in the entertainment industry for so long, he's probably used to the fame and popularity he's getting, thus leading to him taking his fans for granted. When Jielun shakes the hands of his fans, he just sweeps across, OR randomly pats a few lucky hands; while yes- in the process killing a lot of fans simply with an electrifying glance. TIAN HOWEVER, attempts to *shake* every hand, and WAITS if you are still busy with something else. I admit this is partially because of the situation they are at, and I don't actually blame Jay for it, but really. Celebrities who have been in the limelight for a period of time tend to appreciate fans less. I shall not make a sweeping statement here lest I offend anybody, but basically my point is just, Tian is really really nice. It's not just me being biased, really- 3 random fans I met yesterday, who weren't fans of Tian, all agreed that he is really nice to his fans, and well- are converted Ethan fans.
Throughout the events, Tian fully acknowledges us. He constantly waves to the audience when he's not being interviewed; does his trademark YAY sign, and flashes a mesmerizing smile throughout. He also *excitedly* points to our FC's boards in an attempt to tell us he has noticed us already. Things like these- little actions, mean a lot to us fans. Or at least, to me. It makes me feel like supporting this artiste has been worthwhile, and the artiste appreciates whatever I've done. You might say this is stupid, I don't care, I'm happy living in this fangirl world of mine. I don't need to know the truth, I don't need anybody to come burst this fantasy bubble of mine; It's my way of living this life and I'm happy with it, thanks a lot.
Tian might seem like he's influencing my studies now- and I'm pretty confident that my mom is starting to, if not already blaming him for distracting me, but trust me. I'll prove to you that Tian will serve as a positive motivation; he'll be my driving force. I'll work hard and prove to YOU that Tian is not going to affect my life or studies in any bad way at all, he's just going to bring joy into it. Don't shake your head while snickering away, I'LL BRING RESULTS. Yes I will.
With this, I promise to start studying hard. JUST YOU WATCH.
If you stayed through this entry- hey thanks a lot! I appreciate it. If you didn't, just know that I'm really glad I actually went for this event, and I love Tian.
阮經天, 謝謝你!
不管天有多黑, 你永遠都會是我的天氣晴!
真的, 謝謝.
