So, anyways, my cousin and friend gamely accompany me to the Taipei Xiao Ju Dan after our shopping at XiMen Ding. I guess my cousin and friend can't stand it when I keep pestering them throughout the shopping trip about how the boys are here now, etc.. so they just went with me.keke..
Anyways, I wasn't too optimistic. I only went down at around 5.30pm when the red carpet started. I would have expected big crowds there already. And matters were made worse when it started to rain.. AH,,, reminds me of our Pi Boys..(Boys who bring the rain).. I was praying they would not cancel the red carpet. My friend said will not cos the news say that the organiser has prepared umbrellas in case it rained but red carpet will still go on.
Well, anyways, as expected, I can't find any space along the red carpet walkway. It's filled with umbrellas and people.. Am glad to see green balloons, the TWTS there with poster.. (After the ceremony, my friend told me that there are aunties in purple with well prepared purple balloons and props, more well organised and ahem, than our green peas who were not wearing green but just carrying some posters and green balloons. That's when I found out they were Hsiao Jing Teng's fans. My friend branded me in that age category and told me bluntly that I can't fight with all the Xiao Mei Meis in TWTS..sigh..)
Anyways, I was about to give up when my friend egged me on and say what kind of fan I am who gives up easily. I should just go out in the rain, buy raincoat or even stay out in the rain for my favourite. After their egging, I decided to just follow those men in tuxedos carrying umbrellas for the stars and left my friend and cousin in the shade. That's when I found myself in a spot near where the cars would drop off the stars. Well, I decided to just stay out in the rain with my small umbrella and camera and just wait there.. since that's the best view I can get of them, even though it's back view. At least I'm not blocked and it's not cramped.
Each star just get off the car but a bit frustrating cos they got off the other side of the car facing the stage and I can only see their backview. I can't even tell who some of them were. The rain was getting heavier and heavier and my bag was drenched while I tried my hardest to protect my new camera. I thought since I'm here, I would just stay till the end, even though I can only see their back view.
The rain was very heavy and sky was getting dark. I can't really make out who was in the cars that were lining up to drop off celebrities. I had a hunch the boys will be in the last few cars. Then, I don't know why, I suddenly had a look at one of the car, and a hunch that Baby was looking out the window. Although it was dark, I can make out his face. I was very excited.. Then as the car drove into the light to wait to drop them off, I was even more convinced it was baby and WAH!! I saw him looking out. and he was facing my side.. AHHH!!! Well, to me, I was very lucky..
Lucky still was he was a curious baby who kept looking out the window so I can see him.. and then lucky still, I thought he would get off the other side of the car like the rest, but somehow he just got off the other side facing me.. AH!!! at least I managed to catch a glimpse of him getting off the car.. They were very friendly, preferring to carry their own umbrella unlike other stars and also shaking hands with the fans as they went up the red carpet.
Although after that it was backview all the way, I was still very happy to get some shots of Baby even though it's very short. I rush back up and I can't see them at all being interviewed at the reporters side cos all the fans were cramping up front and screaming Double S Oh Gong Il. To me, they were indeed the star of the night. So, I only took vid of the big screen.
Anyways, they turn around to wave to the fans and then went back in. And WHOOH, suddenly there are lots of space in front of us at the red carpet pathway. All the fans were gone and rush back into the concert hall since some of them bought tickets. A bit embarrassing that the next one to come after them was Zhang Hui Mei, the queen of Taiwan Pop. My cousin, who's a taiwanese insisted on staying behind to support Zhang Hui Mei who came up red carpet. She told me being taiwanese should support local talents instead of running away after Korean stars. Well, honestly, it's true. So I also stayed behind.
Ah Mei was very friendly. She shake hands with some fans and stay around the fans' area. Most embarassing was Na Ying who was last to come up red carpet. All of a sudden the screen showed ending and she had to run up the the red carpet in the heavy rain. Fans were little. Ah Mei, being the nice lady, helped to wipe the rain from Na Ying's face. Anyways, what it showed me was the magnamosity of Ah Mei.
WEll, that's my story and KUDOS to my dear friend and cousin who actually stayed out in the rain throughout the 1 and a half hour just to wait for the boys to appear. .. keke..
Below are the vid I took of Baby.keke.. (Sorry, Mal was facing the other side of car so I didn't manage to film him)

Actual Golden Melody Award Broadcast
Baby and JungMin were the first presenter at the ceremony. After they presented, they just left. I guess it's a big disappointment to the TS who actually bought tickets to the ceremony to see the boys. Moreover, it's a bit boring in a sense, we don't see any jokes being cracked much with the boys.. Was actually hoping to see Xiao S disturbing them but I guess they were backstage preparing for their next performance...
Whatever, our boys are still very dashing with their megawatt smile and friendliness. As you all can see, they had to bend down cos mic is too low for them..keke.. they are too tall or maybe organiser purposely did this to them? Or they are just plain too nice to make sure their voice can be heard? keke.. LOVE OUR BOYS!
