Vivacious - Stranger In Paradise: December 2007

Okie.. the story goes..

I got invited and went to the Gala premiere of 'Warlords' earlier tonight..

This movie:

When I reached the cinema, it was already very crowd with fans as Andy Lau was coming to this gala. I saw the cocktail reception so I went straight there with my bf naturally as it was the only entrance, but to my horror, they say my ticket could not join the reception but just the movie alone.

I WAS DAMN PISSED!...not that want to drink or i "gian" but because yesterday I was puzzled and I had specifically asked that Senior Mgr how come theres no cocktail reception and she avoided my question and say Andy Lau will come say Hi to all our theatre halls...

She could have told me directly that I'm only "second class guest" and save me the embarrassment, shock and enthusiasm.. the next few minutes I stayed around there, packed in those crazy fan's crowd simply annoyed and don't even know how to and when I can make entry to the hall.. I got the tickets you know! why should I be standing there like a silly fan.. I don't even fancy Andy...

Finally near the end of the reception, i was still stopped behind the barrier, I came to know my entrance is suppose to be upstairs so I pull my bf to go up instead..He was reluctant because Andy have not appeared yet and he's scared we will miss Andy's entry.. But i insisted as I was angry with the lousy treatment i got .. No point squeezing with the packed crowd, I'm not interested!

Once we reached upstairs we went to search for the toilet and entrance.. it was surprising quiet compared to the chaotic cocktail reception downstairs.. too quiet, abit strange.. then there in front of me, where in the whole corridor was only me & my bf, was one group of black polo tee men walking towards us.. as they walk nearer, my bf stoned.. I didn't know whats going on, still looking for washroom.. haha.. those men are security guards.. in the middle was the Andy Lau. He was in happy spirits... humming and snapping his fingers while walking towards our direction.. We stoned and shocked for more than 5 seconds, laughing to ourselves.. then after a few mins.. my bf finally plucked up the courage and ask "can we take a picture?" I quickly followed and gestured : "Helo.. yaya can I take a picture with you please??"

Andy was smiley but kept walking and speak with his Cantonese accent Chinese to me: " Sorry, I'm busy.. I need to rush.. got work.." pointing to front.. Looking at my disappointed face, He remained eye contact and added two more sorrys with gesture plus the mega watt smile! In fact he was smiley in our whole "exchange"... Nice hor??

What "sorry gesture" he make to me? oh.. don't know whats that call.. u know "those informal salute kind, where his hand move up to near the eye brow with the head nodding"

We pardon him of course as he make his way down to the crowd steadily.. I can't believe I was really so obedient and didn't take any pic of him!.. I was really too shock to react ( i had a camera in my zipped handbag leh) silly silly silly.. and somehow i was scared those security will confiscate my camera if i too rash... I got no evidence of my "personal encounter with Andy" except my bf who can prove my words.. haha.. we both thought we were silly

hahaha it was blessing in disguise loh! I get bullied but I got even closer to Andy.. I can confirm u most people at the cocktail reception can't talk to him as personally as me.. He only come to say Hihi to the crowd (and maybe a few bosses) and be interviewed by the event host only..

My bf complained that Andy Lau answered to me, attentioned to me but not him because he was male.. =P

Okie.. then we proceeded into the cinema hall to watch Warlord and as expected.. he did come before the show starts to say Hihi to us. I went to the first row to snap his pictures,

however this time round, it's up close but NOT personal anymore so I was not as excited..

Stupid me got up close personal chance yet nvr snap a few without his permission..
