my long story...

well..my long awaited sammi concert is now gone..for those who wanna noe wat happen..here's a short summary of wat i have experience..

woke up at 9 am on saturday the 14th of august..feeling very excited..n not tired at all though i had oni like few hours of sleep cos the previouos nite i was watching the olympics oepening ceremony till 5 somtin am..the excitement of gonna meet sammi kept me awake...brushed up n had my breakfast..then double check to see whether i elft out anything important..then i left..my dad fecth me to the lrt station..supposed to meet alison (my roomate) in the gombak lrt station at 10.30..but i reach late..reach there almost 10.45am...she got tics for the 11 am bus...n so off we go..another step closer to meeintg sammi...

reach genting abt 12..almost the same time as cynthia..n her family..wanted to check in..but woah..damm a lot of ppl cheking in..our queue num is 188...at taht time it was oni 100..so we decided to split..cyn n her family had lunch..n me n alison..decided to meet up some SC members (SC = sammi collection = my sammi cheng forum)..met up wif esther..n her fren..wanted to join them but they were having lunch in ah yat pau yu restaturant..too expensive..so we left..then i called celine..n met up wif her n winnie wif the rest of the gang inclusive of evonne..her bro calvin...ah theng..n this anohter girl forgot her name...sry!! they were also hvagin lunch..n after taht wanted to go to the casino..me being underage n alison being kuai..stayed out..n we went back to check on our hotel check in queue..the num is moving quite fast..n it was almost our turn..so we waited and then we checked in..our room was on the 9th floor..room # 748..cyn's room is jsut next door..room #747 (ahha it reminds me of the plane..lol)..

after check in me n alison decided to have lunch..on the way out..we met calvin n his gang..they were wating at highland hotel for sammi to go for her practice session..so me n alison join in..n forgot all abt lunch..waited quite somtime...we even met the chinese boy duo BOY'Z who were also in genting to promote thier album...lol..but ahha they were pathetic..no fans at all..we SC fans all pitied them n some even took pics wif them..then we got news that sammi will be leaving thru the backdoor..not the front for the previous day sombody pulled her hair on the way out..so she is afraid..and will be goin thru the back door...we the crazee bunch went to the back door to wait for her..whihc is actually an illegal waiting place..we got halau..be notin can stop us..we went back in eventually..ahha..we met wallace while wating (wallace = sammi's manager)..calvin then handed him one whole bag of stuff for sammi to sign..n i was like shit..my albums are all in the room..luckilly we have some concert psotcards for her to sign..thanx god!! at least i got her autograph also alr..then more n more ppl came to wait for sammi..we were like..aiyoo...so many ppl..must as well we wait for ehr in from of the concert hall better not so many ppl..and so off we go..

and there we stood in front of arena of stars..not long after dat..her car came..!!! manage to cath a glimpse of her..cos her car windows got curtains..only manage to catch a glimpse..not bad lar...so..after dat no more sammi for a moment..at dat time oni we realize we had not eat anything since breakfast..so we ate in mary brown..while we were eating..some of my frens..who is extreamly crazeeee n daring..pretend to be the press..n went in to the concert hall to watch her practice..wow!! damm daring!!! they even made fake press id..with their pics on it..fully laminated..put it ard thier neck..and then walk into the hall..i was amazed!! me celine n alison being kuai enver join..or rather we dun have fake press tags prepared lar..eheh i m sure if we got we wud have gone in..

abt 7 somtin we decided to go into arena of stars..bought our blinking glo stick outside the arena..n my they werre selling her albums out so cheap..!!!..too bad i got mine liao..if not i sure grab!! my seat was lishgtly to the left side of the stage..not really center..but not too bad also..cos she always visit the left side of the stage in her concert history..tested out my digicam in the concert hall..but the pics didnt turn out good..kinda blur..haih...at that time i wish i have my SLR camera...digicam too sensitive liao..

at abt 8.20..the concert started..sammi came out n sang 3 fast songs..then she talk a little..and in the middle of the conert..there was a hand shaking session..b4 she even mention dat there will be a hand shaking session..we crazeee SC ppl edi rushed out to the grills in front of the stage...on the way out my shoe came out..i had difficulty putting back on my shoe..cos ppl were all pushing to go in front..luckilt after putting on my shoe..i manage to find a place in front!! i even sootd on top of the grill to get a better reach..ppl behind me was like puching me away...in that situation i dun care liao!! either i puch them abck or i lose out..so being mean i push them all abck..never even give them a tiny little space to squueeze in!! muuuhahahahahah....i keep pushing them abck!!!..no i m NVER ever gonna give them space!!! at the same time i was like so hoping the grill wun fall or else i wud be squashed..lol..when she reach my place..i can see sammi so scared..one of her hand was out..n another was covering her head..cos sombody ter-hit her head while shaking hands..she was like aiyak aiyak..so cutteee lar!!! n funny...n i manage to just 'touch' her hand...well..it was not as soft as the last time i shook hands wif her back in 2001...her hands now is kinda rough..i wonder y..and oohh ohh..i gave her a soft toy flower also...it's actually my frens wan..she had 3 stalk..so she gave me one to give sammi..ehhehe..when sammi got it she swing n fling it..so funny!! and another thing is dat i mange to catch her up close..VERY CLOSE!!! she is DAMM GORGEOUS!!!! so leng!!!!

at abt 10.15..concert officially ended...wanted to grab those banners outside the hall..but no time as we went on to chase sammi again..we had to run all the way uphill to trail her car..so tiring!! and then we got news she will be eating in the olive restaurant...so we watied outside the restauratn..n then ppl start flocking ard..thoe si lai n aunties were like waiting for who..? cheng sau man ar? waa..we also wait..haih...to get away from the crowd..we went to the hotel n wait..waited till abt 12 somtin..then sammi's car came..caught glimpse of her again in the car..and dat was it..back to the poster..haih..i wanted those banner wan but no chance to grab..luckily celine have a fren working in genting..she got us nice posters..ehhe at least not so abd lar..no banners still got posters..thx celine!!

after everything ended..we decided to go back to the hotel..on the way we stop by at starbucks..got some coffee...then back...celine bunked in wif us that nite...n she shared bed wif me..alison got the whole bed to herself..lucky girl..but i dun really mind lar..just to say oni..bathing was a prob that nite..the bathrooom is oni 2 feet by 2 feet wide..imagine how small dat is..there's no place to hang clothes..n we have to dress ouside of the bathroom..lucky no guys in our room..after bathing we watch a little tv...it was shwoing olympics synchronous diving..the china team damm chun!! keng!! lead all the way! then went to sleep..

slept like pig till like 8 somtin am some idiot woke us up by calling our phone..turns out to be wrong num...we dun care n went back to sleep..woke at officially at 11...surprisingly celine is the first to wake..lol..never expect it from her..clean up n then we check out at 12..

took our branch b4 we leave...and then off we go..on our journey home..everything went on smoothly n i reached home at abt 3 somtin in the noon..sunday..15th august..though i had enuff sleep i was damm tired..due to the fact that i chased sammi all over genting..though it is wa tiring thing to do..it is all well worht it..when i get to see sammi..

well..my short summary has turn out to be a very long on instead...sry abt it..:P to cut short...overall..the concert was superbly fabulous n fanstatic!! oni drawback was that it si kinda short..oni abt 2 hours..n there were no guest artist..sammi performed well that nite n i njoy the whole concert!! though the pics i took wif my digicam most of it turns out blur..some of the pics are quite sharp..and i did manage to take a vido of her singing 'zhi de'...i had n joyable moment in genting..n i m glad i had this once in a lifetime experience of chasing..n meeting sammi..an experience i will never forget!! thx to those who ahve help out n supplied information to us..thank you!! had so much fun..nad if i were to miss it..i wud have regret it the rest of my life..
