| Today i am very excited, Why? Because today Alec will be coming to Hong Kong at 10am and then he will be going to his birthday party at a very nice grand hotel in Hong Kong at the side of the sea. So whilst i was waiting i could also see the sea view. I got 2 tickets which was very lucky of me. The way to get these tickets was to buy alec's latest album and inside was a little slip to fill in and to send to his company and as i found out later, lots of fans didn't get the tickets as they ran out. On the day it was very very hot. About 32 dgrees!! I was feeling dizzy by the time i had walked to the hotel. My uncle said it was close but was it? No!! It was no way close haha I had to walk sooo long to get to the hotel! I waited in the que for about 1 and a half hours , outside, before we were let inside into the ball room. We gave in our tickets and on the right hand side was a table selling the x-mas cards and tickets to take photo's with Alec later. It was like a rush hour, everyone brought lots of tickets. Although they were 50 Hong Kong dollars each (I only brought 1 though) most of the fans brought 2 or more. When i got inside i looked around to see if i could see Alec coming from anywhere. Or which way he would come in Then 2 Hk dj's came onto the stage and said who they were and which radio staion they came from ect...and then welcomed Alec onto the stage. All the fans suddenly stood up and screamed 'You peng'!!! I quickly rushed to the front ( as front as i could as there was a barrier in front) as the fans was stood up ect..and i would soon see nothing. I'm glad i got there first as soon the other fans got there and crowded round the front. The only problem with standing at the front is...you'll find out later haha. Alec was wearing jeans, trainers, a blue t-shirt and a pair of cool sunglasses! This day the first game fans could play with Alec was with six fans chosen from the crowd. You could use anything on you at the time to make a long as line as possible and see which team had the longest line at the end. Each team had 3 members. Alec was the judge. One side, team A, had a korean fan which had come especially from korea to see Alec. She was wearing very traditional clothing. She had come with of her 3 friends. It's not very suprising that one them got picked as it was a bit impossible to not see them in the crowd:-). At the begginning of the game it was a bit hard to tell her what to do as she didn't speak cantonese. In the end the female Dj told her quietly in English. Team B even used shoelaces whilst team A used shoes, money and more. basically everything was used possible!! In the end Alec said that Team A had won as they had tied their laces ect together whilst the other team had lots of gaps in their line together so team B was the winners. The winners of each game got a picture taken by the press with Alec with alec posters or goodies off stage. Some had come from Taiwan and China to see Alec. But i don't think anyone that day had come as far as me to see Alec!:-) In another day where 2 females fans played they had come from China. they only spoke mandarin. alec kindly asked them where they had come from. he also welcomed them. The second game played was with another 6 fans. this time there wasa bowl in the middle of the table brought onto the stage and the bowls of icing and different fillings etc. They were once again split into two groups of 3. Each group had to saya number counting from 28, as Alec will soon be 28,(HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALEC!!) and every time u can't count more then 3 numbers. Everytime they said a batch of numbers they had to add some fillings into the cake. The group which had to say the number 0 was the team which had to eat the cake. The Dj asked for fun 'You Peng want to try some cake'? Fans smiled:-) Alec walked slightly back saying ' NO!':-) Again the winners took photo's with Alec and got goodies of Alec. I was right at the front. but as Tv stations and the press could go right at the front of the stage they got the best photos . Then Alec sang his main song in his latest album, Deep Love. I tried to take some good photo's. When he started singing i found a big problem of where i was standing. I t was right next to the speakers and i nearly got defened and i nearly got defended. After singing about 3 lines Alec stopped, all the fans looked suprised. then Alec said ' have i gone wrong?. Have i really gone wrong? I'm so sure i've gone wrong hehe' Then he started the songs again:-) he also told some fans to sing with him but maybe everyone was shy not many sung with him. he asked because they hadn't got much 'Deep Love' at the moment? as a joke:-) Then the Dj's choose 6 more fans to go onto the stage to play another game. This time each team had to make a birthday card for Alec out of news paper and magazine pictures, a red card and a white piece of card. Both teams used the red piece of card to make a heart on the card and Alec was at the side given tips that he liked food:-). In the end it was a draw and so both teams got to take a photo's with Alec. |
