yst was a super busy day for me! had korean class in the morning.. after that i headed down to Plaza Singapura. FOR LEE MIN HO. he was supposed to be a 'shop manager' at Etude House for its opening at 4pm.
*fyi, in case some of you don't know.. Lee Min Ho is that main lead of the famous korean drama Boys over Flowers. this drama was showing on Channel U and yst was the finale.
okay, after class i trained to Dhoby Ghaut. i reached PS around 12nn.. and i joined the queue.. was quite near the entrance of Etude House. Heshun and co. was late.. they went to eat lunch first. LOL they couldn't get in the queue cos Heshun said fangirls were staring at him. so i had to queue more than 2 hours alone there. :(
the place was damn crowded. i've never seen PS that crowded in my life before. you wanna see how it looks like? here it is:
scary not? yes i swear it was. cos while i was there, i was constantly being pushed, stepped on my feet, deaf, sticky and sweaty, and tired.
the pushing was the scariest cos it was like the domino effect. cos of that, i lost my balance and i fell and got stuck in a squatting position. also in a way, like i was floating. hahaha. cos people were so close to each other and you can't feel the ground with your legs. LOL. first time this happened to me. it felt like i was in a quicksand pit. except that all around me was humans, not sand. LMAO.
i was queuing near the front, but cos of all the pushing and squeezing, i found myself at the back already. you couldn't even get out cos people didn't want to budge.
i didn't meet Heshun and co in the end. :/ they were at B2. it was kinda dumb to hold the event at PS. even worser, at the Etude House shop. -.-" cos everyone knows that the area was so small! and where was he gonna appear from? up the escalator in front of EH. nice one.
so when 4pm was closing, the crowd grew even wilder. during the wait, people kept screaming for nothing (i dunno why they're like that), making us think that he came already. then the security guards would be waving and crossing their hands to tell us it's a false alarm. that wasn't funny alright. -.-
and yeah, due to safety/security reasons, Minho couldn't come. i was damn disappointed, but i couldn't help it. so, i left the place and met up with Heshun and co. we left PS straight away and decided to go to Raffles Hotel where he had the press conference earlier this morning.

cabbed there. i asked the staff there and a few of them confirmed with me that he was staying there. happy to max! cos we actually wanted to go to Ritz Carlton instead. most celebs usually stay there. luckily i asked before they wanted to cab there.
supposingly after the EH event, he'd be at St. James Power Station for those lucky fans who won the fan meeting/signing event from spending $15 and above at EH. i hear previously that if you spent $200 and above you can get the VIP ticket to SJPS.

anyway, yep. we didn't go to SJPS. too late already. so we were quite early at RH. didn't see many fans yet. waited for 3-4 hours, and i was kinda stressed out cos we didn't know what time he was coming. and i was pressing for time..
i was supposed to meet Jas and Eloise. Eloise was at Jas' house for math tuition. Jas' mom cooked dinner for us. but cos i still didn't know what time he would be reaching so i was time-constrained. and i didn't want them to wait for me to have dinner. felt really bad.. but i really really reaaaaally wanted to see Minho irl cos this would be a oilt exp and i really don't wanna miss it!
all of us were getting bored and tired.. we were considering to leave, but we thought.. what if we left and the next min he came? if so, we can really go bang our heads.
so we just waited.. the van arrived around 9+ pm and there were at least 3 cabs following his van! LOL those really hardcore fans.
and finally he came. and i saw him slowly getting out of the van.
i was speechless. my jaw dropped, my mouth opened wide. my legs were soft and wobbly for some reason i don't know why. my heart was racing 100x faster than normal. my mind was blank. i was stunned when i saw him. he looked... perfect, flawless, extremely good-looking to the maximum. exactly like what you see him on tv. and even better. def BETTER.
i was in a total state of shock. i couldn't even scream his name, my hands were trembling while holding the cam.
he was the Gu Jun Pyo in BOF i watched. he was.. like in front of me??? he whizzed past me??? i could just reach my hand out to him (not for those security people. pftz). having said this, my friend Sharon managed to tap his shoulder. LOL. she was so daring! not like me, only feeling like a statue.
HE WAS FUCKING HANDSOME. WITH A CUTE MURDEROUS SMILE THAT KILLS FANGIRLS INSTANTLY. he was smiling all the way while walking to the door!!! it was really nice of him.. though he was tired after all the activites.
the whole thing ended less than 20 secs. and we went nuts after that. not only us, all the fangirls who were patiently waiting there and those that just rushed out from the stalking vans.
it was worth the wait. and i do feel accomplished for having seen him in real person.
i've never felt so tired in my life before. my back and feet were aching and breaking from standing too long at the EH event.
all my day's hardwork paid off just for this. a big sense of achievement.

still, i trained to Hougang and went to Jas' house. they had their dinner first. thankfully they didn't wait for me.. and also, they weren't angry with me at all. and i thought they were. cos i came so late and broke my promise of coming at 8+ pm when i reached at 10+ pm. ><" thanks girls.. i'm so sorry too.. had dinner (porridge <3>
