Hello my dear sweet cupcakes. so well here's an update? i think imma start blogging again:') okay, so my first post will be about meeting this band that i absolutely love, nope, it's not 1D(though you guys alr know of my indescribable love for them) IT'S BYE GUYS. LIKE BEFORE YOU EXIT. Haha i know a lot of you guys probs havent heard of them, but i'm not kidding you, they make really nce music & they were like just supporting acts and youtubers but now they have they're very own headlining act.
Soooo, they have 3 members, (from left to right) Riley, toby & conor . so well, jasmine is pretty obsessed with connor & i am obviously a riley girl. Heh. i swear i might have an obsession with brown-haired guys.
SO brief intro. the guys have toured with people like cody simpson, all time low, olly murrs andallstar weekend.
They usually have their live performaces with braiden and thomas but sadly this time they didnt come:'(
Here a few of their songs & covers that you really should check out.
Anyhu so when i first heard that they were coming i literally almost shit myself. i called jasmine immediately and was like screaming at work. but i kinda didn't care cos like OMG guise BYE. like can you imagine this band that you just casually watch and love on youtube that you thought would never in a million years come to singapore, is actually headlining at a gig FOR FREE. like whot even guys. So i pretty much died. Well, not really. But anyhu, after that i pretty much stalked twitter like my life depended on it, and i spammed This radio DJ for 98.7fm & won 4 passes to the BYE All Access Party @ Playhouse. Yay. (thanks to all the lovely people who helped me RT my tweets & helped me win)
After that there were other compes on twitter like spam this DJ for this prize and that DJ for another. well twas pretty messed up cos there were so many events the boys were attending i was all confused about what was what. I still remembered that on wednesday i was really upset cos apparently after i won the all access party passes they did a Meet & greet (M&G) passes giveaway too. & obviously i would rather get those. but thank god i had jasmine, she was all DON'T WORRY FRIEND WE WILL MEET THEM. So yeah we went on this crazy hunt to figure out which flight there were taking and what time they would arrive in Singapore. & after stalking several of their tweets and some calculations we figured they would land around 11-ish 12 and that would mean we would be missing our last train, at first we agreed to stay at the airport till th elast train only, but after some thought and compromise, we decided to just stay till we see them then just share a cab home.
So we arrived at Terminal 2 about 8 plus & based on our judgement(quite poor i might add) we decided to camp at terminal 3, we spent about 3 hours there, after which we had this sudden epiphany when twitter was all "sg exiter they will be arriving at Terminal 1" so we went there instead. But after loitering there for about an hour plus, we realised they were barely any exiters there. Only this one girl who we made friends with(love how fangirls clique so well) then someone tweeted that BYE was standing right in front of her & we finally figured that they were actually at terminal 2.
So we literally ran to the sky train. BUT we went to the wrong side, YES we ended up at the sky train to terminal 3. we were just like fuck it, take it to T3 then change to the opp train to T2, so we did. BUT as we were approaching T3, the train to T2 just left the station & we were like WTF WE'RE SCREWED IF WE WAIT FOR THE NEXT ONE. SO we decided that it would be a genious idea to flippin run from T3 to T2 throught the MRT station. so that what we did. genius. It was past midinight so the travelators weren't working which was pretty fucked up cos the distance was cray. Then as we reached Terminal 2, it was bad enough we just ran a cray distance, the flippin escalators were off too. LIKE WTF.. we had to climb that long ass escalator to the arrival hall (if you guys have taken that escalator, you would seriously respect us) after that we ran to the gate and we saw that there was quite a lot of people but the boys were no where to be seen, cos the girl tweeted that they were standing in front of her(we kinda figured that we were too late & they had alr come out & left) i was soooo heartbroken. like i swear i was about to cry, when i turned to the sliding door and standing at the door was TOBY. Like i didnt even have time to look for the other boys or give myself the time to register, i just ran towards him shouting to jasmine that it was toby. then we just shoved past some people and i saw connor, then right at the back, i finally saw riley.
After that everything just happened really quickly. I was like shouting RILEY and he waved and said hiiii. then i just charged straight to him and asked if we could take a picture and he was like OH SURE. & i asked for a hug and he was OFCOURSE (why are they so nice, like despite the cray 20 hour long flight, i would totes understand if they were grumpy or what, but noooo they were all sooo nice) Then i went to Toby who was just next to riley and did the same then connor too. Omg i swear it was the best feeling ever. Then they had to leave & we were all just like NOOOOO can we follow them please:( but we figured they really needed their rest. so we decided to go home:') SO here are the shots we got:')
Needless to say i cried after, like even on the cab ride home and also in my bed, i coudnt sleep i tossed and turned and fumbled in bed hugging riley(really just my pillow) & trying to sleep. so i finally fell asleep at like 545? then at like flippin 655, my mom decided to jerk me awake and shaked the living hell out of me asking what happened & she was like HOW DID IT GO BABE DID YOU GET TO SEE THEM TELL ME EVERYTHINGGGGGG i told her in possible my most slurred speech ever and literally said omg mom please fuck off & let me sleep. she just laughed and went off. HAHAHA love mommytino.
Okay so day 2, we had the BYE all access party to attend @ Playhouse. SO i took jasmine, Hsiutorng & linghwee. Linghwee was with there with another of my jc friend queuing since like 1 i think? i only got there at like 4 with jas & HT. Then we queued and yadeeyadeeda and finally got in only after like 2 hours plus? but it was worth it. i have soooo many videos of the night i don't even know if i can upload them all. but i will try:')
ootd for the AAP.
So basically deekosh, ross & the muttons hosted it & they sang a few songs:') but it was so good cos i was so near, i was initally just using my phone to film them but halfway through soldier my memory died on me and i was like fuck noooooo cos i live soldier the most and i fumbled for my iPad and got to take like 2 mins of the song:') my ipad was pretty hug so yu can imagine the kinda attention i was getting from the boys like riley literally stared into my camera and even pointed at it several times i almost dropped my ipad when he did though. &&& guys, they sang all three of my favourite song:') they sang soldier, i like that & a little more you. & they're soooog ood live i can't even. PLUS toby tweaked guys. & i have footage hehehe.
Died.
Died again.
What is air
(this photo cr: nicole. love her to bits)
987's deekosh interviewed them too! Here's a super cutesy picture of them doing their funny faces!
Watch both part 1 & part of the full intervies here:
Just as the cab pulled up at the foyer/ driveway/ front of the hotel, i saw this guy in blue jumping around and instantly recognised him to be connor and omg i just screamed i was like FRIEND CONNOR FRIEND CONNOR. and ran outta the cab. JAS LITERALLY JUST THREW CASH AT THE DRIVER WE OBV OVERPAID BUT FUCK IT. LOL WE RAN UP TO THEM and we were literally shaking and we were like "we went to theairport yesterdya and got these ics with you, can you autograph them please? & omfg they we were like OH YEAH WE REMEMBER YOU. *faints* so i went to toby first, then to riley BUT he was tweeting and completely ignored, i was gutted:( so i went to connor BUT after connor signed, riley came to me and was like SO SORRY I WAS TWEETING! HERE LET ME SIGN THAT *dies* whot even.
WAIT OMG i forgot when they were getting on the van. Oh we managed to catch them cos despite our inital plan of catching them when they came back from the concert failing we manage to catch them before they left for dinner!! So they were about to leave when connor actually talked to us. like WHOT. he asked us if we were at the show earlier and we told him we went for the 987AAP one. (mostly jas talking cos i was in too much shock to form a sentence) then he said GREAT ANYWAY WE GOTTA GO, BYEEEE. And then i saw riley in the van and i was like HIIII and he waved & said HIIII WHAT'S YOUR NAME? I WAS LIKE OMFG CELESTE!!! AHHHH. he asked for my name what is air. HAHA
Well it's safe to say we were pretty damn starstuck so we just walked aimlessly to shake the nerves off. we were literally, i'm not kidding, shaking like really shaking. But managed to catch a cab back to vivo and bus-ed home.
Twas a pretty damn good day again. like i was beginning to think i was gonna run outta luck from all the luck we were getting the past 2 days. HAHA
Riley posted this on the second morning, omg bless my riley heart.
Soo the last day, *tears was their autogrpah signing session @ HMV, 313.
i was pretty kiasu and went @ like 12? when the signing was @ 4 but whatevs. so there was kinda no one. so i decided to just sit outside & wait for nicole and jasmine to come. (yes i actually went alone). Then soon after Nicole came & we started queuing hilst making cards for the boys:) jasmine cam at like 345. like omg close shave much. and the boys started pretty on time @ like 430 i think. SO we got our CDsautographed and we could get hugs from them, sigh pie:'( but i was like CONNOR CAN I GET A HUG? He said SORRY WE CANT GIVE HUGS:( BUT I CAN YOU A HIGH-FIVE! Then Toby was next & he was such a sweetheart he was like AWWW IT'S OKAY I CAN GIVE YOU HANDHUG. *highfives me and wraps his fingers around my hand like his arms would a hug* Whot even guys he is tooo sweet i was sooo touched. & riley gave me a high five too & literally interlocked my fingers & didnt wanna let go ahhhh:')
Obviously biased to riley lah.
After that we went to try and find their van so MAYBE we could see them when they were leaving. so we went through some exits(don't ask how we knew which, we just did) and shut. we found their van. like no one was flippin guarding it but the driver was inside. Then within like 5 sec, a guard came & was like THIS PLACE IS OUT OF BOUND YOU SHOULDN'T BE HERE. buuuuut we got a pic of the van wehey. HAHA
Then we were like mehh it's kay, so we left for lunch & bumped into jian hao. got cutesy pics, he's really nice!
Was having lunch & guess what happened, Riley instagramed this, & omg. Not only am i in the instead, i'm the flippin thumbnail. like guise. WHOT.
CLICK!
After lunch we headed to vivo to get some pics printed cos nicole and jas wanted to put pictures on their cards to the boys too!, Whilst there, i ran into some exiters i recognized from the 987 AAP & from the HMV autograph session and they asked me if i was going to the hotel(w/o mentioning at all where the hotel was) they clearly were just testing to see if i knew. I just said no and they told me they were going. & i was pretty damn bummed about it cos the pervious night NOONE was there but me and jasmine. we were hoping it would be the same this time. But meh we still went.
We camped outside the hotel lobby on the 2nd floor. the hotel is really gorg like i cant even. We stalked tweets to get ourselves ready for when the boys got to the hotel, but noooo nth. like hardly anyone tweeted. so we werent expecting anyth when suddenly i turned to the steps & saw connor(idk why i always see connor haha) running up the steps & i was like (again) OMG CONNOR OMG CONNOR! we just dashed ot straight away & gave them our cards. so this happened.
Me: Riley this is for youuu. *gives riley the card*
Riley: AWWW thankss! It's got a picture too!
Me: YAA Can i get another picture please?
Riley: SUREE.
Me: Can i get a full body shot pleaseeeee!
Riley: Ofcourseee!
Me: OMG THANKS RILEY! Can i get a hug pleaseeee
Riley: AW SURE! *HUGS* *dies*
ME: Thanks riley i love you.
Riley: No Problem!
*Connor*
Me: Connor can i get a picture with you? *gives him the card and picture*
Connor: Oh suree, wait isnt this a picute? *confused as shit*
Me: OMG I meant this si for you, but can i get another picture please?
Connor: OHHH thanksss and ofcoursee!
Me: THANKSSSS. Can i get a hug?!
Connor: AWW Sureeee.
*Hugs & Dies again*
*Toby*
Me: Toby this is for you *gives him the card*
Toby: awww thanks!!
Me: Can i get a picture pleaseeee
Toby: SUREE.
Me: THANKS TOBY. can i get a huggg?
Toby: Oh sureee!
*dies for the last time* (no i kid there's more)
They walk to the escalator to go up & i remember i forgot to get riley to sign my ipad cover, so i run up to him.
Me: Rileyy please sign my ipad cover! Can you make i to Celes?
Riley: HAHA sureee how do you spell that?
Me: C-E-L-E-S. *DIES BEFORE I GOT TO THE T-E
*TOBY JUST COMES UP AND SIGNS IT TOO. LIKE OMG. THEN CONNOR TOO*
US: WE LOVE YOU GUISE
*THEY ENTER LIFT*
Connor: NO WE LOVE YOU GUYS! BYEEE.
*we all die*
So that pretty much sums up the experience.
We were pretty gutted that we didnt get to them perform at colour run cos they sang their covers like Ed's "you need me but i don't you" & my fav, Bruno's "When i was your man" But we got to take pictures, get hugs, autographs & actually have like 10/15 mins of private time with them instead, which i think is truly priceless.
Well On the 19th, they were at the opening of the 1D world store too, but we missed the performance, BUT i got a high five from riley before they left for KL.
THIS HAS GOT TO BE THE LONGEST BLOG POST I'VE DONE. OMGGGG.
BUT THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE WAS TRULY THE BEST WEEKEND OF MY LIFE EVER. I WAS HONESTLY A BIT AFRAID TO MEET THEM COS THERE'S THIS SAYING THAT GOES "DON'T MEET YOU IDOLS, IF THEY AREN'T THEY WAY YOU PICTURE THEM TO BE, IT WOULD KILL YOU." BUT THE BOYS WERE EVERYTHING I PICTURED THEM TO BE, AND MOREE:') THEY WERE SO HOT, SO CUTE, THEY SANG LIKE FLIPPIN ANGELS AND ABOVE ALL, THEY WERE FRIENDLY, SWEET & HUMBLE.
WHOT IS LIFE.
HERE'S A VIDEO OF ALL THE FOOTAGE WE GOT THAT I COMPLIED OVER THE WEEKEND!
RILEY, CONNOR & TOBY, I LOVE YOU GUYS SOOOOO MUCH. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING AND PLEASE COME BACK TO SINGAPORE SOON.
xoxo
