[10.12.02] Kim Hyun Joong’s Tampines Mall TFS store visit!
To be honest, I wasn’t planning to go, because I really don’t like crowds very much.
I was quite sure he’s not going to stay for long either.
Quite frankly, I went down only because earlier that day, I wanted to talk to bb unnie about something,
so I went down to Tampines Mall to meet the LKHJ girls who were at Starbucks instead of queuing with the rest. ^_^
However, when I went over with some others to check out the queuing,
saw our Korean friend from the airport yesterday, so went to speak with her.
Not long later, the security suddenly brought up the barricades and we found ourselves suddenly right in front of where KHJ will arrive later in his car.
It was really quite lucky.
So I decided that I should stay.
KHJ is supposed to come at 3:30PM, but by 3:30PM there was still no sign of him. It was quite a tiring wait for the fans.
Also, it started to rain at about 2-2:30PM.
I was happy because this means KHJ is indeed “비부돌bi-bu-dol” (Idol who brings rain)!
I believe my personal experience of waiting for him that day was also made enjoyable mostly by KHJ’s personal bodyguard over here. (The burly one ^.^)
Because of our Korean friend, he could recognize her perhaps, or it’s just nice to hear a familiar language in a foreign place.
They started to talk quite a lot.
His bodyguard first asked us if there is a Panasonic store in Tampines Mall. (There isn’t)
We told him that there isn’t but there are many electronic stores around. I think he could not hear it because he asked again where is the electronic store.
Later on, he came over and asked again where is the toilet.
He spoke in English however, “Toilet, where?”
Quite an interesting guy.
Our Korean friend was randomly ranting to him that it’s tiring, asking if KHJ will come soon.
The bodyguard was really nice; he called up someone and asked, “Where are you” (in Korean).
Told us that he will be coming soon (though “soon” is really an ambiguous word!)
He also told us about KHJ’s car in Singapore.
He said a BMW was chosen for him because it was bigger for men to change inside. ^_^
Our Korean friend wrote a fan letter and wanted to pass it to KHJ’s manager who happen to walk by, but the manager told her she should give it to KHJ herself later... if possible. ^.^
Later on, TFS crew arrived,
Everyone was excited for a while, thinking it is KHJ.
The next car that arrived consist of KHJ’s crew,
Mainly Cordi unnie/noona & the makeup artists.
We were able to hear the makeup artist saying to KHJ's bodyguard that she was not able to touch up KHJ’s make up for the store visit.
I guess the Press Conference earlier really ended late (He had private interviews to do after that).
Honestly, I thought cordi unnie looks kind of stressed.
(But later when KHJ came, he looked just as good though! Make up or not. ^.^)
KHJ’s bodyguard then came over and informed us that he will only be staying in the store for 15-20minutes.
KHJ came finally at approximately 4:30PM
He stayed in the car for a while before stepping out.
The bodyguard was guarding the door, and the other taller guard (also KEYEAST) stepped out of the car as well.
They open the door slightly and was in conversation with KHJ, probably asking if he’s ready or not?
Then finally, the STAR came walking out.
He was in white (as many will know by now), very handsome, and I had a great view, better than airport yesterday.
I was smarter this time and I took a video instead.
(Will upload later on when I return to Singapore)
KHJ spoke abit, basically about how he’s happy to come to SG and that he is coming back to promote his album ^_^
Oh! He also said we should buy more TFS products! ^_^
He only stayed for about 10-15 minutes and left very quickly.
However, it was quite a worthwhile wait for me, because it was nice to know that KHJ’s bodyguard is so nice. I’ve always heard about him being nice, and was finally able to experience it for myself.
He is quite understanding most of the time too.
Actually, the bodyguard even allowed fans to take the fancams for a while more before asking them to move back so that KHJ could go into his car safely.
Was a great day!
At night, went to eat at Jumbo Seafood Restaurant.
Almost all of the TFS and KHJ’s crew were also eating there actually.
There were some fans around, but yes, no sign of KHJ. ^.^
However, we were there to bring the Korean and Japanese fans for a good meal, as well as to let them try out the Chilli Crabs in Singapore. Had a great time with the LKHJ girls!
Rushed back home afterwards because I have to pack for KL and get ready for tomorrow... MORE SOON! ^.^
P.S Will upload photos when I return to Singapore~
[10.12.03] @ IMM. Best Day Ever In My Life...
KHJ’s fansign event at IMM was the one that I was looking forward to the most.
This is because I was lucky enough to be selected by TFS Singapore to be one of the 10 people who will be taking a group photograph with KHJ. Really grateful to TFS Singapore!
Anyway, reached the event location very early.
There were fans queuing up already.
I think some fans tried to create a queue number list but ultimately I don’t think TFS used it, they simply allowed whoever that are queuing to enter. ^.^
Also found out that my friend had a media pass to enter as a photographer. Some of you may know her. Her name is Kandace. She was also the one who took many amazing photos during Singapore’s Kpop Night Concert! Strangely, bb unnie also knew her ^.^ Indeed the world is extremely small…
Bb unnie, miy0, lamerhui, honeyeee and I went in later because we have a different pre-allocated time for photo-takers. (Yes, 4 other girls from LKHJ were also selected ^.^)
We were brought to the location at the right side (where KHJ will be entering).
Ah-Ken (host) was playing some games with the fans before KHJ’s arrival. He threw some posters to the fans at first. Afterwards he started to get people to answer to 10 reasons why they like KHJ. Everyone said mainly the same things: Handsome, 4D, etc.
He also asked who is Hyun Joong’s partner in WGM. Everyone screamed Hwangbo. (A strange question to ask at this sort of event actually. ^_^)
Suddenly, KHJ appeared at the side while the games were going on! He was using the entrance at the side to proceed to IMM’s TFS shop. Everyone was very excited! Due to our good location at the side, was able to snap a shot of him before he disappeared again~
Shall skip the boring game parts~
KHJ finally entered again and went on stage, causing everyone to erupt into screams and cheers.
KHJ said mainly the same things that he’s happy to be here and will come back next time for his album. ^.^
Ah-Ken asked him how does he keep his skin so clean and good too~
Our HJ’s reply was sooo like him.
“Before I attend the event, I used a mask from TFS!” ^.^
His face was ever so CUTE when he said it. You know how leader had this “her-her-her” kind of laughter? ^.^ I love it when he does that, and he normally does whenever he said something strange ^.^
Then it was time to choose 3 presents and open it up.
The first present KHJ chose was from us, LoveKHJ!
Leader said he like the lion very much. ^.^ After all he wants to become one in the next life...
So high and so delighted. To be honest, that was the only moment I screamed and cheered and jumped. Most of the time I am quite the calm fan looking at him, snapping pictures and making notes to write this fan account.
The second present he chose was from SGTS~
It was a comic book written/drawn by SGTS as well.
KHJ said that he like the comic book a lot. (He still loves his comic books ^.^)
The third present he opened was one from someone we don’t know.
It was a bottle with many purple hearts in it.
KHJ said that he had received a lot of origamis but he has never received any hearts!
Then it was signature time on the huge board on the stage:
Ah-Ken asked him to explain his signature!
KHJ was so cute when he said: “Kim. Hyun. Joong. SS501. K. H. J. Year 2010, December, 03” (Please do search up fan cams and watch this. He’s so cute here!!!! )
The next activity was the auction,
where winners of the auction get to take home the KHJ Standee as well as take a photo with Kim Hyun Joong alone!
I am so happy to say that the charity auction was so well participated. They managed to bid up to $6500. KHJ was really shocked actually as the amount kept going higher and higher. I caught a photo of him with his mouth open, like “gasp!” ^.^
The next auction was supposed to stop at $6060. KHJ personally stepped him saying it should stop here. I think he is very worried that the fans may not have so much to pay. Anyway, it was a little silly and RANDOM but people started to sing happy birthday song because of that. ^.^
However the winner goes to someone who someone else suddenly bid $6686, which is Year 86-06-06 as well. ^.^
KHJ also add on another &6866 to the charity as well, personally. ^.^
Then came the best moment in my life.
Went up to take photo with KHJ in groups of 5.
Naturally, I was with my unnies: bb, miyo, lamerhui, honeyeee.
I was the first to walk up.
I nearly died when I was up there because he looked so good.
He was really nice and kept asking us to come forward.
Thanks to the unnies who let me stand beside him (T_T),
My head was slightly below his left shoulder
Could feel his body warmth right on my ear... T_T
KHJ doesn’t seem to be wearing any cologne though~
I think he is the kind of guy who naturally smell nice without putting on anything artificial... ^.^
After the shots, he shook hands with everyone of us.
He also said “thank you” in English. It was so cute! The way he said it. His slightly airy “thank you” in his soft voice, that LEADER voice... T_T
Later on was the fansiging.
When I went up, I could not talk to him at all.
Simply found myself losing my voice... once again..
After the fansign, TFS crew went up for a phototaking with KHJ.
A little girl was brought on stage and KHJ carried her in his arms but the little child was crying badly. She literally SCREAMED when Leader carried her!
But our dearest Hyun Joong was smiling so happily~ ^.^
He took a photo with the little girl~
Ah Ken commented that this crying girl had NO IDEA how many are dying to be in her position. Hehehe ^.^ This girl.. I wonder what she will think when she grows up!
That was about the end of his fansign event.
I am very sorry if I left out anything. I am sure however, there are other fan accounts and videos out there, so do check them out as well! ^.^
I had to rush to the airport to take the flight with KHJ later on~
(Will write this part tmr. As usual, on LKHJ.com. ^.^)
Part 2 of FA:
I want to thank bb, miyo, lamerhui & honeyee once again~ T_T
Actually the day before, honeyee already said that I can be the one to stand beside him because I’ve never seen leader before and I love Leader to the max. It was really because of them that I get to be so close to leader. They do not have to do this, because I am actually the youngest of the group. However...T_T
Before our plane to KL took off, received a text from bb unnie saying they managed to take a picture of me with KHJ in our group photo that I will be happy with. T_T
My unnies are incredible to me and it’s because of them this is possible. Quite honestly, would I have gotten a ticket from LKHJ if I continue to remain a silent lurker?
The person who got me to come out off my cave and to admit that I was the one translating the videos under WonderrrLiz501 was bb unnie actually.
She was the one who noticed the resemblance between Wonderrrgirl & WonderrrLiz501... and asked if it’s the same person.
I think if she did not do this, I will still be a silent lurker, and probably won’t have what I enjoyed today.. T_T
If I did not get a ticket from LKHJ, I probably won’t have the chance to go…
As for photo taking, it was indeed completely good fortune thanks to Doreen, the CEO of TFS, she was the one who send me a message telling me about this good piece of news.
When I heard the news, the first person I told was bb unnie, because I feel grateful to her for being the person who got me to start contributing to the forum earlier before. Bb unnie then replied me something I think I will always remember. She said that when we do things without expecting anything in return, life will somehow take good care of you.
T_T
So I’m really grateful today, and more than happy.
Not only did I manage to see leader at last, and had such a good memory with him,
Leader also brought me a set of awesome friends in LKHJ.
I thought fans are just fans who gather to talk about their idols.
But the girls here cared enough for me always, to read my blog and stuff like cheering me on last week during my exams. I am very fortunate and ahhh, seriously, how can I not love leader more and more when he has indirectly brought me people like them?
Hope you girls enjoyed this way too long account, and sorry for rambling on too much! ^_^
I should go to bed now ^_^ I will write about airport encounters with KHJ tomorrow ^_^ !
