THE BEST DAY OF MY FRIGGING LIFE.

APRIL 25, 2011 - AN ACCOUNT OF MY MEETING THE BAND OF MY LIFE: MCFLY.

I know it might be difficult to believe that I actually met them, after what, seven good years of waiting; heck I can’t even begin to believe it myself. Just this evening I was walking home and I suddenly had this realisation that dawned on me - I met McFly - and I got this really euphoric, tingly feeling in the stomach that literally put a smile to my face like a crazy person. Lucky it was dark so nobody saw my spazzing.

But anyways, back to Monday.

I had read Tom’s tweet the day before that they were catching an early flight back home, and knowing that they did a layover in Singapore on Thursday when they came (and some crazy fans went to find them, you know who you are!) but didn’t manage to catch them, I sort of guesstimated their flight and when they would be arriving.

So when I woke up on Monday, I checked the Facebook page / Twitter and realised at least another 3 fans - Rachel, her sister Janice, and Huizhi - were going to be there, so I made plans to meet up with them! By the way my horoscope that day said I should speak up in public and initiate meetings with new people, which I was planning to do that day, so it was pretty freaky.

11.55am was their arrival time, and knowing that they had to transit from T2 to T3 for their plane back to London (A380 wow!), I thought I would wait at T2 and wait around the sky train because according to Huizhi and Rachel, that was the only way ANYBODY would be getting from terminal to terminal. I was on the MRT at 11am, and cut it close by reaching just at 11.55am - and confirmed that their plane was about to land.

Met up with the three lovely ladies and started getting ourselves hyped up; it seemed like a pretty good chance that we would get to catch a glimpse of the boys, so that got us pretty psyched. We were pressing ourselves against the window because we wanted to spot them the moment they came, and it was sooooooooooo freaking far away…

We were basically separated from them by our glass panel, the train tracks, and another glass panel.

THEN, after waiting for like eons (!!!), I SPOTTED A BLONDE-HAIRED SEX GOD WEARING SHADES - it was Tom la, hahaha! So I freaking shouted: “OMG I SEE THEM!” and I think the rest of them also spotted them really quickly, and I was like shit shit shit (in my head), and then I started waving like crazy, went shit-ass fangirl in one snap of the fingers really.

Ya, but at first they didn’t seem like they were coming this way to the sky train because they walked a bit further down before doubling back. I saw their manager Tommy stroll past us and stood somewhere further away from us. And so we started waving and I guess somehow or another Tom and Danny spotted us, and at first I was looking at Tom’s expression, which was a look of confusion. I guess he was not expecting fans to even know about their transit at all, but guess what!

Haha, so after a moment of confusion (He gave a half-hearted wave at first and then pointed to himself like “Are you waving at us?” Imagine what he would feel if we weren’t LOL!) he had this look of “Oh okay we have four fans here, wow…” And then he motioned for Danny who saw us too, and then they started waving and smiling and Tom even pressed his face into the glass… or was that Danny… hm… oh gosh, for the sake of this fangirl post, both of them did.

 

Danny was uber cuteeeeeeeeee because he had this incredulous grin on his face, and I think one of us jumped, and he mimicked the action it was bloody hilarious! Wish I got a video of it! :) But anyway, we started taking photos and stuff, and it was so funny because obviously we couldn’t hear them, and they couldn’t hear us, so 4 fans gesturing to 2 band members = a mess.

Haha, but Tom asked if we were actually flying off somewhere and he even did the plane gesture by putting out both arms halfway and swooshing around on the spot), and we were like “No, we came here for you!” and he pointed at himself again! :)

I didn’t get to speak much with Danny because he was over at the other side (damn I should have gone over there to gesture to him but I wouldn’t know what to say!)

But yeah, we asked where Dougie and Harry were, and Tom did the smoking action - and we all understood, and Tom shook his head and headed to the tv monitors to check out his flight.

 

Tom checking out flight details.

If you want me to describe how I was feeling at that moment, I really thought it was quite surreal. It was like I was moving in autopilot mode, like nothing was real, and my hands were shaking (hence the blur photos) and because I was standing on the leg railing (as I call it), I found my legs were feeling weak too. It’s sort of an unconscious feeling I guess, because you cannot believe you are actually just right across them, and because you can’t touch them, it just doesn’t seem real?

Danny looked exactly like he looks in pictures and stuff, maybe better, but I can’t comment because we were quite far away :p But really, wearing v-neck (hehehe), and carrying this black adidas gym-like bag, that he carried on his shoulder for a bit but later put it down because the train was taking too long to come (OMG THANK GOD THE SKYTRAINS TAKE SO LONG TO COME!)

Tom had his flipflop hair, still looking gorgeous as always! He had this checkered shirt on with a white shirt underneath, like very… schoolboy kind I guess? Don’t really know how to describe it, but yes, he had his sling bag slung low. I remember him tweeting about his satchel or something right? Hahaha!

 

Look at them trying to get to us! (lol jk).

But yeah, I blanked out for awhile.

Then Tom whipped out his phone and asked us to stand closer for a picture, I was like OMG YES! So we took the picture through the glass (He took very long to take that picture and we were frozen on the spot hahahahaha) and afterwards he tweeted it.

Like seriously. Our faces. On his twitter page. In his iPhone. *flails*

 

This is him tweeting. So we checked our phones as well, and we saw his tweet! :) It was the greatest thing ever! :p

 

I’m not kidding. :)

 

Yes, so then Harry and Dougie sauntered into the picture, and we were squealing all over again. Tom and Danny probably told them to look at us, because then they were looking at us and waving too! Dougie was a bit jet lagged I would think, and tired la, so he wasn’t as enthusiastic as the rest!

 

Harry waves with a smile on his face. Dougie beside him.

But then the skytrain came, so Tom gestured for us to follow and like “let’s go!”, hehehe, so we rushed into the train cabin (we were in the front cabin, they were in the back), and waited at the window closest to their cabins. They saw us waiting there, so they all came as well, Tom led! :D Danny had put his shades on by then, Tom too I think!

Tom then went to do the cutest thing ever - he pretended like he was the driver of the train and held on to an imaginary steering wheel to steer! :) WOOOOOO.

We couldn’t see much of them in the train because it was bright out, and the glass reflected light…. so when we got off the train we immediately headed for another glass panel. This time it was only one THIN SLAB OF GLASS WALL SEPARATING US!

So Harry waved, Dougie waved(?) and walked in the direction of their gate, but Danny came up to us and started giving out HI-5s!!! We had our hands to the glass and it was awesome!!!! :D:D:D:D:D:D Tom then did the same and said “Bye!” WHICH WE HEARD BECAUSE THE GLASS PANEL CUTS OFF AT SOME POINT so we were literally breathing the same air they were LOL. And then he walked backwards and waved to us, turning back several times to wave somemore. (watch the video)

After that we were just in awe, and you know, just like typical fans. We didn’t see them anymore after that, so…

But I am extremely happy that they actually acknowledged us, and gave us a bit of their time, however little it was.

And that was the end of the little adventure!

I saw Maroon 5 after that but that’s another story.
