ok so today was the BIG DAY. woke up at 5.30am after about 5 hours of sleep only and reached Lot One at around 6.45am but by then there was ALOOOOT of people there already. we investigated abit and found out that some people had numbers written on their hands and that there already 1000 people although so many people didn't have numbers too. but bcos the person writing the numbers had a number herself on her hand, we didn't believe that those were official numbers and so, me, Zimah, my sister and her two friends stood and waited outside the main entrance with a whole bunch of other people for the door to open. it was really packed and we stood, waiting for about an hour plus. we even ate breakfast while standing!

and then the door opened at 8plus and there was CHAOS. people were pushing and everyone was squashed like crazy. you can barely breathe, it was really scary - i never been so terrified i swear. it was MADNESS. but once i got through the door, i RAN like crazy up FOUR flights of escalators (which was not switched on yet). my legs felt so weak afterwards and i was running with a heavy bag which had my laptop in it :/ on the fourth floor, everyone started queuing up in front of the escalator leading to rooftop level. and there was chaos again cos people kept cutting the line. but all that was in VAIN! one of the official staff came and told us to go downstairs and come back up later in an orderly manner and after much deliberation, we decided to go down (also because the security was making us to anyway). then there was alot of confusion. we didn't know where to go or what to do. but we later found out that the official queue was downstairs and that the numbers on the hand did mean something. although there was already 1000 people, there were so many others who continued to queue just to try their luck. but the five of us decided to give up.

so we decided to go eat and do whatever and try to go see if we can go to the rooftop at 1pm to see them. me and Zimah did abit of shopping at Cotton On with the money that was supposed to be spent on SHINee's album haha. nothing eases pain like shopping! (: and then we just slacked at KFC and i managed to do a third of my lesson plan (:

found out later that they would be doing a 'live' broadcast of the fan-signing at the tv screen at level 1 - the one used to show movie trailers and timings. there were people waiting at level 4, trying to get in the rooftop still but we doubted that they could. so we found spots in front of the screen and decided to watch it from the screen. it's better than anything. it was really hot and we formed a big crowd near the MRT control station haha.

and so yeah, at 1.30pm, the event started but there was NO SOUND! ): there was a female emcee who talked damn long and then she interviewed the SHINee members but we couldn't hear anything. and then, the members went backstage and came out again for the fan-signing. they didn't perform ): but the camera did zoom in on the members so it's not too bad! they all looked sooooo HOT! :DD and btw, we found out that you could only get one member's signature if you got the album (it was random, you can only go to the member that is given to you on the album). quite wasted actually. and hmm from what i saw, you can't even take pictures with them or shake their hands but still seeing them upclose would be so awesome. damn those lucky 1000 fans. they deserved it i guess. heard that people who queued overnight were numbered like 400plus! crazy.

here are some pictures that i took today. they're not clear cos well it was from a tv screen but it's better than nothing right. and watch the video here. the video's better though there isn't any sound.

lack of sleep for the past two days is taking is toll on me. it has been a tiring yet really fun and exciting weekend. but there's school tmr! and i'm finally going to really teach tmr. hope all goes well. and i have to go for my first training at the CCA i'm assigned to - mass dance.

enough said! :DD
