Chapter 208: The Green Hornet

I can never imagine myself to be chasing after stars, running after them, etc. Events like the recent surge of kpop trend doesnt seem to excite me at all. I still prefer my mandopop songs :) Monday 24 Jan must be the historical moment, and only one person deserves such an honour, and that person is none other than my favourite singer Jay Chou.

The Green Hornet Event welcomes Michel Gondry, Seth Rogen and Jay Chou. But how many people actually go there to see Michel Gondry or Seth Rogen!? ;) According to artist's impression, this would be people's reactions: Michel Gondry is coming! HUH WHO? Seth Rogen! Who!? Jay Chou is coming! I'M GOING!

Actually that would be my response as well. I don't care who else goes, as long as Jay is there.

Now lets zoom in to the event in story mode. Tighten your seat belts and here we go!

4.45pm after Malay Lesson, my dad came to fetch me. We went to the Cathay. My dad went to find his colleague and they talked. Later, my dad, his 2 colleagues and I went for dinner at Popeye's. I was rather stressed as i ate the slowest (because I ate 3 pcs chicken!)

Went back to the Event Area. Saw the AETOS,auxillary police, and also people distributing something which could be used to self-fan. That "fan" has the Green Hornet Movie Cover printed on it. (i hope u know what i mean.) I also took photos with my phone of the stage, etc etc. (I will upload them to facebook one day.)

Initially my dad thought that there will be passes (so we can avoid crowding). Sadly, there isnt any... so the entry to the area that is barricaded off, a.k.a. the green carpet area, is dependant on the shirt! Only ppl wearing the crew shirt for the company that is involved in the event are permitted entry. My dad's colleagues are working so they have the shirts and can enter to set up the pyro. Sadly, my dad didnt bring his working shirt!!!! Arghhhh... and my cousin didnt too as he just came from his NS duty.

SOTA (school of the arts) is jus opposite, so students from that sch can be seen watching the event too. And so we await the arrival of the guests.
Random ppl arrived first. Then came Mark Lee, the Mediacorp Artist, who said if we came to see him or Jay Chou? Rhetorical question. LOL.
And then came the directors, etc etc tom dick and harry. When Jay Chou came, the crowd just went mad. Due to massive crowding, I could not take a photo of him walking the green carpet!!!! Argh. When he went on stage, all i could take is a side view of him.... and its damn small... !!!

When he walked down to make his exit, I tried to take a photo of him as i was near the exitway. But all i got was a blurry image... (one that is in motion.)

Oh, i forgot to mention that my cousin had initially told me to buy eggs and throw at jay chou, so that he will rmb me for life and not forget me. I told him that he will hate me for life, and im not gonna make tat bad impression.. Now, to think of it, its still a bad idea. One will never make it alive after that act, the fans will kill you LOL. And furthermore, no way I'll throw egg at my fave singer Jay Chou!

My cousin then brought me along to rush up the escalators to the lounge of the cinema to await Jay Chou LOL. Managed to shoot a video of him walking out! And finally I get to see him at close range and got a quite nice video shoot of him. I'm sweating profusely by then, despite the air conditioning... and my hands are tired from constant raising of hands to take photo/vid using phone. (to add to it, my hands are tired from basketball just now...) In front of me were some girls from China, who were holding blank paper. I guessed that they wanted his signature but failed terribly LOL.

Overall it was a tiring yet exciting night. How nice if I had the pass, i can avoid squeezing with the crowd then.. Anyways, I still feel quite happy about it.

Btw, im catching the movie soon :)
