My Wanted Weekend: Sunday
Monday, September 19, 2011 @ 9/19/2011 04:46:00 PM
When your lips touch mine, it's the kiss of life. I know, I know it is a little bit frightening. We might as well be playing with lightning.
Waddup people! :D The Wanted Weekend story continues. Again, I apologise if I am too fanatic.
SUNDAY 18 SEPTEMBER 2011
Woke up around 7am. Extremely early for a Sunday, yeah? But as soon as my eyes open, my brain automatically screams, "TODAY'S THE WANTED PRIVATE GIG AT ZOUK!". Then I had the urge to give them something. So, I made cards and packed some Hari Raya cakes & treats for them. Yet, still being early for tution. Oh, my drawings on my arm could not be removed totally & I had to go tution looking like The Wanted Fan Gangster. Total idiot. Oh well, FOR THE WANTED! & yeah, I was totally made fun of by the tution people. Doesn't help that Nadd didn't come to tution, leaving me alone as the only idiot there. But I don't care. The drawings made me relive Saturday's extraordinary experiences.
"To anyone getting bullied, success is totally the best form of revenge" - Jay Mcguiness
Yes Jay, I will always remember that. Okay, moving on. Texted Nadd halfway through tution & luckily Abang Tayeb let us off 15 minutes early eventhough he said he wanted to extend the tution to 30mins. IKR, make up your mind. Oh well, went home, perfected my gifts & got ready to go to Zouk. Iwan didn't want to go at the last minute. Heh, doesn't change any of my plans. Went out at 1pm & fetch Nadd and her sister, Nadrah. & off we went to find Zouk because none of us know where it is. Dad drove in circles & then dropped us somewhere to allow us to find Zouk ourselves. Hehehe, we searched for awhile &
asked for directions. Like pure idiots, Singaporeans not knowing where is Zouk. We had an interesting conversation with a Trishaw Uncle.
Me: No, we're looking for Zouk. Do you know where it is?
TU: Zouk? The nightclub ah? Ya, I know.
Me: Can you take us there?
Me: How much would it cost?
Me: Whoa, no. We have got no money. Sorry, uncle.
TU: Okay, $20.
Me: No, no. That's too much. We don't have enough money.
TU: You go nightclub, never bring money ah?!
(That comment totally caught me off guard, so I didn't know what to answer.)
Nadd: No, uncle. We got free pass to enter Zouk. No need money.
& we went off. My God, he was totally taking advantage of us. Excuse me, we're not that desperate to go Zouk. Wow. So, we hailed a taxi & the journey only cost us around $5. Idiot trishaw uncle. There was air-conditioner and a friendlier taxi uncle, in additon to the much cheaper fare. We arrived at around 245pm & saw the expected queue. But it was not that long as I expected. So we waited. & waited. Then, they told us to register first then join back to the queue. Wow. Imagine the girls running to the registration table like idiots. Oh well, told Nadrah to save our spot in the queue while Nadd & I went to register. While waiting for registration, there was this lady with a big black camera like those they use for movies. She was filming the fans and interviewing them. She went down the line and came to me. Had an interesting conversation with her.
(I waved to the camera and her face looked puzzled at my hand.)
(I looked at my hand then remembered I had written 'MRS JAY MCGUINESS')
Me: Oh, I love Jay! (showing my writing on my hand to the camera more clearly)
Lady: Oh! Okay.
Me: Oh, & I've got this! (taking off my cardigan to show my fake lizard tattoo)
(I was wearing my cardigan from the front to hide my 'gangster' tattoos on my arms)
Me: You see, Jay has a lizard tattoo on his right arm. I love him & his tattoo so much. So, I drew this. Shows my love for Jay. (I told to the lady while she films me)
Lady: Oh! Really? (camera zooms in on my fake lizard tattoo, going up & down my arm)
Me: Okay, byeeeeeeee! (waving both my hands)
Then, we registered & got the wrist tag. We went back to join Nadrah in the queue. Saw the 98.7FM DJs as they arrive at Zouk. Then we got to go in & we rushed in to get a spot upfront. I was quite close but they were still people infront of us. Oh well, it was close enough for me. :D Then the DJs came out played some games to stall time. Lyana & I was chosen but Lyana's game was much much interesting. (Mine was just finding things that started with W, A, N, T, E ,D. I was supposed to get a voucher from somewhere but they didn't give to me. Oh well, I don't really care about the prize anyways). Lyana's game was Don't Forget The Lyrics: The Wanted Songs. & to be honest, it wasn't a tough competition. Lyana seemed to be the only person out of the 3 chosen who is a real Wanted fan. The other 2 people were as clueless about the lyrics as I am clueless about boys. & I don't know anything about boys. We are all extremely happy for Lyana & we kept supporting her when she was the first to guess the first song. The other 2 just stood there looking like idiots. & the lyrics weren't even that hard. I mean, come on. Why are you even in the Private Party if you are not a Wanted fan? That is just messed up. Anyways, Lyana obviously won even after the 2 got replaced. She got a Dr. Dre headphones and a basket of Ricola sweets, which she shared with us later on. Heheh :D
More waiting & stalling. But they put up The Wanted's songs so everybody is so hyped up. Then Lose My Mind came up & everybody started singing along & camera lady from before and film us while we sang. I got like 10 seconds of fame with the camera straight at me when the lyrics, 'I'm gonna loooooose, my mind. Oooh ooh." Haha, & my hands were doing actions the whole time. God, I must have looked like an idiot. But it made me realise how un-shy I was in front of a camera, even a big one. ACTING CAREER IS A GO! Heheh, kay enough Sofia. Then, The Wanted came out! AHHHHHH!
They started with smoke!
OMG. JUMPING WAS NEVER THIS SEXY.
I swear, I was in that crowd trying to hold on to my life by trying to breathe in as much oxygen as I can.
He was that close, yet so far.
More photos at Nadd's Facebook & Lyana's Facebook., when they upload them. I had so much fun singing & jumping to their songs. I did a I Love You/Rock On sign ( \m/ ) up in the air & Jay saw it! Then, he showed the sign to me! I think he remembers me from Satuday as the girl with the lizard arm. Heheh, then The Wanted was supposed to choose banners for the Meet & Greet. Aww, me no make no banner. D: But those who won really did have cool banners and posters. So, congratulations!
Oh, between a song, they gave out roses. Nadrah got one from Siva. Then there was a Q&A session. &; Nadrah got to ask, 'When are you coming back?'. Tom gave her an autographed album personally. Oh, their answer was January/February. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! <3 Can't fucking wait.
One extremely happy girl. :D (Oh, she LOVES Siva btw)
Then we went to get a drink. Coca-cola, lah please. & off we went to HMV, 313@Somerset for the photograph session. We took the bus to, I forgot where, then took the MRT to Somerset. By then, it was around 6pm. & we needed the pass to get our photo taken which is in The Wanted album sold at HMV that is apparently out of stock. BUMMER. Then, we were told we could buy the ticket for $18.90, which is like the cost of the album. Wow. But hey, a photograph session! I had the money from yesterday plus the $10 dad gave in the morning. & Nadd got $16 but I gave her the extra $3 because obviously, she is my best friend & I don't want to take the picture without her. So we bought the tickets, & with Shazwani too. The rest couldn't cause they had no money at all. Felt sorry for them but this teaches you a lesson to always come prepared. ( I researched the night before about the photograph session & I knew we had to buy the album. Told Nadd about it too.) What I was afraid of was there would be no stock of the album, which means no pass. But they sold the pass, which was confusing & suspicious. Hmm. & the lady told us to return to the cashier to redeem our album. Wait, I know, I was confused at first too. She said there was no stock of the abum & suddenly we have to collect the album later? Wow. So there was stock in the first place. Oh well, we were happy enough to get the photograph pass. So we waited in line. Then The Wanted arrived! Everybody got all excited! Oh, I showed the I Love You/Rock On sign ( \m/ ) to them. & Jay saw it again, eventhough I was so far away! He showed it back to me! *melting*
FOR THE WANTED!
We're girls & we're bored.
Then we got closer...
& closer..
& closer. (Aww, Jay showed a heart-shaped sign <3)
Until we can finally take a photo with them! & this is the moment I will remember forever & ever. So, each photo can accomodate 6 people with The Wanted. Then, I was the seventh apparently, beacuse Nadd was the sixth person. & Shazwani let me first because from the picture, you can see them standing in the sequence of Jay, Siva, Nathan, Max & Tom. So, she let me go first so that I can go to Jay straight away! & I did! OMG, I felt so happy being the only one in his arms. I gave a lady my gift for The Wanted before I went up. Had an interesting conversation with him. ;D
(Jay &; I hugged)
Jay: I really love your lizard arm. (he said in my ear as we hugged)
(by then, I was so starstruck that I just smiled & felt his stubbles on my right cheek.)
Me: Can I have a kiss? (thinking this would the last time I would meet him)
Jay: *smiled* Of course, you can. *kissed my right cheek* *smiled again* ( I could have died at that moment)
(Then, the one of the people in charge turn me around to take a picture)
I stood on the left of Jay & he held my left arm tightly. *click* (picture taken)
(I turned around quickly to talk to Jay again)
Me: Can I see your lizard tattoo?
Jay: Yeah! (pulls up is sleeve)
Me: (touching his tattoo) Oh my God, your tattoo is cooler in real life!
Jay: Oh yeah? (takes my hand & puts his arm next to mine) Yours is cool too! I really love your lizard arm! Oh look! It even has my name on it! *pointing to the 'Jay <3'*
(during this moment, somebody was pushing me to the right to keep moving off stage, but obviously I didn't want to. & my arm was still next to Jay when I was being pulled away. I think he could see from my eyes how sad I was being torn apart form him. Heheh. Then I saw Tom without anybody hugging & I rushed to hug him. But apparently sombody saw him too & stole half a Tom hug from me. D:< Idiot)
Then I went off stage. & my moment with Jay kept rewinding in my mind. I really hope my gifts were really given to them. You can't really trust the Singaporean management here. :X Anyways, Shazwani, Lyana, Nadd, Nadrah & I waited at Centrepoint for my dad to send us back home. We're girls & we're bored. So, we do what we do best.
The basket of Ricola was shared! \m/
& when my dad came. We all went home in ecstasy. Felt sorry for Lyana though, she didn't have enough money to buy the photograph tickets. But she did won Dr Dre headphones! :O
