Ok....thanks to the super stupid language access of the airport internet, I shall have to type this blog in English first.
After almost fruitless encounter on 24 July, I was not too hopeful about the 25 July event. Well~~it's just not our familiar ground.
Shall not bog you down with the details at this point of time. Let me just share with you some memorable moments.
23 July ~at the Immigration area in Hong Kong. Jiro arrived from Taiwan, there was a handful of fans who were already waiting at the gate. There was quite a long queue at the Immigration area, surprisingly, Jiro and his gang joined the normal queue.Initially, both of us (to tell you who the other is upon her approval) were about 4 person behind Jiro and Amos, quite close actually.
Than, out of no where, these 3 fans just squeezed their way to the front and parked themselves behind Jiro. And could you just imagine my reaction? But, must be due to the travelling time, just too tired to even bother their "rudeness", anyway, we could still be close to Jiro, as the queue is going in a "snake-liked" manner.
YES!! There were times where he would just be standing beside us. First round, caught hold of his attention and told him that I need to pass some stuff to him. He replied ok~~
Next round, managed to pass him the presents and letters, told him that those were gifts and letters from fans, not for him to autographed. Cos, I packed our items in the blue MUA bag, worried that he might be mistaken that he needs to return me those stuff. He pointed to the bag and commented "very cute!! Don't you want to keep it for yourselves?" I smiled at him and said "No worries, I have a few of that...."
The next couple of rounds when he was standing beside us, we were so shy to talk to him, you could even spot me looking the other way~~~too shy to look at him~~~yes, yes~~~what a waste!
On 24 July, on stage during the autograph session. The crowd present was amazing! It was kind of late before it reached our turn to go on stage.
When I reached Jiro, before he could sign, I leaned forward and asked if would be possible to get his autograph in full~~at that point of time~~he had already started to sign~ stopped short and said "hmmm~full signature~" Before he could continue further, the lady assistant beside him commented "No full signature allowed, there is a queue behind....blah..blah..blah" Heehee, as I was just testing my luck, I did not insist further, just told Jiro "It's ok..."
Than I decided to continue walking, than Jiro stretched out his hand, than I realised..hahaha...I almost missed this!! Then he commented " I saw the album, I like it." Smiling gleefully, I nodded my head and said "Thank you!"
On 25 July, at the Skytrain in HK International Airport. After moments of super rushed schedules, these Hong Kong trip was going to end very soon, after we send him off~~
We cleared the immigration before him, waited for him to pass him the letters from friends. I packed it in the pouch that came together with the Limited Edition Photobook, he looked at it and asked "This is for me?" I nodded and replied "Yes, these are letters from your fans."
I did not realise that we actually need to embark on the skytrain to reach his gate. There were some fans who followed him in the Departure Hall, as usual, I just stayed a distance from him and walked.
The Skytrain arrived....fans started to move in, at the very last moment, Amos pulled him to the other cabin. Hahaha ~~expected this strategy already lah~~I followed and walked in, a few other fans also rushed in after him. I just parked myself at the empty space, and there he was, just right next to me with Amos. Amos mumbled something and shook his head. Hahahah~ I sort of guessed what he might have said~~I just smiled to myself and looked down.
I did not dare to look at him, he was so close~~Than, he suddenly called to me and said " Corina~ Corina~do be careful~it's not save to stay at the airport~~~" I was sort of taken aback~~but I nodded my head and replied "I understand." I nodded and looked down again....But deep in my heart, I was very happy that he actually showed his concern about my safety.
I spotted Jessie who was at the door of the train, and called out to her " hahaha, you managed to rush in at the last moment orh" She said something~~and than after that teasingly said to me "Happy liao lah?!" Of course lah~~~over the moon~~~
The train stopped, we started to move out~ He repeated again~"Be careful orh~Corina", I replied to him "No worries, this would be the last time I would be chasing in Hong Kong~~it's too tiring.I prefer Taiwan" He smiled and said "really, so Taiwan was easier to chase?" Heehee~I just nodded my head and replied "More comfortable lah~" Than we were out of the skytrain to continue with the journey~~
My eyes popping out now~~ shall go and take some rest ~~
出乎意料的，Mr Yam 竟然伸出他的手，問我：“Hi! Corina! How have you been? How's work?” 我趕緊起立，握了他的手，回答說：“Doing Good, Mr Yam. Thank you! ”
這個時候，他已經很靠近我的座位了，看到了我的Workstation，他就指著我墻上的照片說："Wow! You have lots of pictures!" 我列出了我最燦爛的笑容，以很自信的語氣回答他：“對！那是我的偶像！”
他也笑了～“哦！你的偶像哦！很好！” 哈哈哈～聼得我心裏甜滋滋的～～
嗯～今天還算過得不錯啦！！
這就是我的工作崗位~~喜歡嗎？
This morning, I totally dreaded coming to work~ just the thought of the loads of work on my desk irks me.
The moment I reached office, I am like glued to my chair, totally engrossed in my own working world!
Around 11am, one of my colleagues informed that our CED, Mr Yam, would be walking past our Office, thus we were told to tidy up our areas. I stared hard at my workstation, well~ should be ok, and continued with my work.
At about 1230pm, I sensed some movements and raised my head. Mr Yam just happened to walk towards my area, I nodded and smiled at him.
Surprisingly, he stretched out his hand and said “Hi! Corina! How have you been? How's work?” I shook his hand and replied “Doing Good, Mr Yam. Thank you! ” .
By then, he was just next to my workstation, he saw all the pictures, and pointed "Wow! You have lots of pictures!"
I replied gleefully in Mandarin “對！那是我的偶像！”. To that, he smiled and replied me “哦！你的偶像哦！很好！”
Today, on my way back on the MRT, I took out Jiro's Photobook again to read. This time round, I read it more thoroughly, and seemed to understand him better in his own words. It's as though I had just walked into his world~
At times, I tend to ask myself, why am I so mesmerized by a young man who is 12 years my junior?
Not to mention his look, yes, he is indeed very charming and good looking, but this is not the main point.
After reading his book, the reasons became clearer.
Unlike many artistes, his road to fame was not easy. Having lost his father during his teenage life, he knew that he needs to grow up fast to be a MAN so as to support the household. Working very hard indeed to what he is today, this is something I really need to applaud him for. A responsible and filial son indeed~
There were instances whereby we might be able to spot the youth in him, especially when he is in the comfort zone of his own fans.
Comforting crying fans, advising fans not to perform the tasks as working staff, insisting on finishing all autographs despite his own fatigue. How could we not fall in love with a man like him?
In fact, I am proud to be one of his fans. All fans should really focussed on his achievements rather than to fight for his attention.
I am praying that his wish to pursue his studies would come true soon.
This morning, I was awakened by Amelia's SMS " DONG updated his blog, can c you!" The very first reaction was to jump out of bed and activate my laptop~
Hahaha~ he did upload lots of pictures today, and yes, saw myself and friends too. But it was the content of his pictures that really touched me.
He thanked all the fans for coming all the way, from various countries and cities to support him. Of course, Jiro, that's your charm, who could resist that? I finished reading my copy of the photobook on my flight back. And did my very best to deliver the copies of photobook to those who ordered, seeing their eyes glittered when they held on to the book(s), it was really comforting.
Sidetrack abit~ cos Amelia informed that Jiro is online in Fahrenciti~ rushed over to leave him a message. He was advising fans not to be conned by the SINA account which was created under his name. He truly cares for his fans.
Okie~ back to my blog~
And seeing him complimenting his MUA team, I would say he is a good boss, knowing how to reward good staff.
For the upcoming autograph session in Hong Kong, I doubt I would be able to attend, as I got not much annual leave left ~ so SAD~~
