A Seeker

Many things happened since I last updated - my trip to tw, the mad rush before my trip, changing of my hair colour, and sg garden festival. I just didn't have the time to come online. And I'm too lazy to blog about the tw trip. There were a lot of 'hiccups' that turned out fine in the end and I would have preferred to be there with my friends. At least we wouldn't need to rest our legs after shopping for an hour in ximending. Perhaps I'll talk about the trip next time. But for now, it's the sg garden festival!

Singapore Garden Festival, Suntec Convention Center, 16th December 2006 (Opening).

Reached home at 2+ am the previous day or should I say morning from kbox. Chairmeh, amanda and eileen sang till 6am. They are seriously mad. Haha. Woke up at 8am to wait for twl to fetch us to suntec to buy our tickets. $5 for students and we get to see 2 levels of exhibition! But our main motive was, of course, to see ahzi. Haha.

Me, twl, jt and pw reached first so we went in first and the rest joined us shortly after. All blind mice. Haha. Went to the stage area and just lingered around there. The personnel seemed qt blur. I asked the person where the launch of the new species will be and she told me 6th floor. Duh. Orchids are at the 4th floor. Since I didn't get the answer I want, I re-phrased my question. I asked her whether there'll be any special appearances by anyone. Finally she got to the point. Haha. "Mr Mah, XXXX, Stefanie Sun will be coming later." Isn't my question simple?!?! The best thing was, jm they all actually went into the cordoned off area to sit but were chased out. Then later, another person let us go in to sit inside. So the few of us went in front to sit cos closer to stage and there was space. Suddenly, we spotted this person sitting 3-4 rows directly in front of me who looked suspiciously familiar. I saw mavis then we were like 'ahzi????' Imagine while we were loitering outside the area, she was sitting inside there all along!!

We shouted a few times for her but it was more of a loud whisper cos we din want a commotion. She din hear us tho. So we resulted in 'spying' behind her, whipping out our hp and cameras to take pics of her *ahem* back. Haha. Her hair was nice - tied up in a orderly messy manner.

VIPs went up to make their speeches and present prizes but we weren't paying attention. Too busy either

1. talking or
2. spying on her.

Finally it was her time to go up stage. She looked totally like a schoolgirl graduating from school! Haha. And I felt her orchid was pretty. Very simple yet very elegant. I like white. Makes it look pure. When she came down, it became a meet-the-fans session la. We surrounded her, making the pro photographers stand behind us while we used our hp cameras. She even posed for us can... And pose quite long while we talked to her at the same time. Haha. Then she let us go on the tour of the exhibition with her! So nice right???

Mavis also equally nice. Haha. Imagine if it were marcia. Wa.. Confirm must be more than 1m radius away from her la. Because we had to go in to the different exhibition halls but our passes were all in our bags, mavis simply told the guards we all had tickets (because we were all trailing behind her??). Ahzi became our ticket into the hall! hahahahhaa... We were like escorts but some were too enthusiatic. Really put the camera into her face la.. Very rude so luckily chairmeh stopped them. They never think for her lor... tsk tsk.

Then she had to go back down to meet the minister and 'talk' to him so she was like rushing down and we were rushing down only to see the minister still being interviewed by the media. Since she had the time, we wanted to take another picture with her then she gave this 'diao'-cum-'I'm soo tired' action. Haha.. But members of the public who wanted to take pictures with her could do so la! Hemmphs. Nevermind. Haha.

We even bluffed Mr Mah Bow Tan that we were students of ahzi from nanyang primary school (how can it be?? twl was there too!!! hahaha) on an excursion and our tour bus was waiting downstairs, and since it was the holidays, we weren't wearing our sch uniforms. He actually believed us la!!! And ahzi was so paiseh.. haha.. Kept covering her face and laughing. And then pw made my day!! She helped me asked mavis if I could take a picture with ahzi cos my bday was very near. And mavis said ok!! Mavis is sooo nice. Hahahaha!!! And after taking the picture, she rushed off liao but not before twl passed my cow to ahzi.. Haha.. think will either end up with jonah or sonny to bite la... hahhahaha... what a happy day!!!
