Would seriously have been hard to find, and if I was a little later having to do another loop, I woul have missed the opportunity!
Never been to Ritz before. Came out fo the lift...lost at the lobby, and tried to figure out where is the real main lobby/ reception (they had a few desks.)
Quickly figured out the main lobby and saw some people with ferrari bags. Confirmed that he wasn't there. At that time, I spun around to head back to where I exited the lift, to see someone pulling a ferrari trolly bag...red red ...hah....only saw his back...but it was him!!! wahahhaha...
Couldn't get a clear shot, coz had to take with no flash. He peered over his shoulder and i know he was looking in my direction. And kept turning to look over...I think he realised..jialat..got fan around..hahaha..I was the only one. I think he was surprised to see someone there i guess, What are the chances! hahaha...
I tell you..i started getting really nervous...haven't felt this way in ages...its a different kind of nervous..
I waited patiently from a distance though, I didn't want to be pushy, coz you can just blow it. So I felt, just wait till his free and I think ultimately he appreciated it.
I positioned myself where he had to walk past me to get to the main door. He started approaching me, when the hotel staff called him aside to sign something for the hotel...aiyo...
But when he came back by, I asked him nicely if I could take a pic and autograph...
I was just way too nervous to shake his hand or something...
I've heard he talks soft...and he did..and just said..."take..take..." in a little hurried and cheen chai attitude. Cool thing was he got his friend to help us take the shot. =)
After the shot, I said me thanks. He started walking off ...so I walked up beside him and asked if he could give me an autograph, whipping out his cap from my side bag.
He paused to look at the cap a moment, then his body language kinda indicated he was open to sign as he turned to the side...I gave him my marker and held on to the cap. He signed and returned me the pen...
One thing I appreciated was that he didnt' give an unhappy look when I asked for the autograph, and he also made sure he did a good autograph, gripping the cap and signing it slowly. Thinking back, I should've grabbed the opportunity to ask him to add my name! hahaha... I will never sell it! Might as well personalise it!!
Walking on, I said.."Thanks Fernando! Have a good trip!"
Still walking on , he semi turned and nodded absently, with a soft. "yeah..thanks.."
I was still in a I can't believe it state...heh...watching him leave pretty fast with the group.
Took me a long while to recover from the severe butterflies and warm nervousness..I felt as though I was in a dream..LOL. simply because it all happend so fast. I left home at 8.20pm, and in less than an hour..it all happened!
I guess after watching so many videos of hoards of fans approaching, yelling his name for some 'time'/ pic/ autograph...and he's rushing from place to place, you just think you have this super slim chance of even getting a decent time without being shoved.
And here, one to one!...sure..it was rushed...but I was the ONLY ONE!
heee...
after that was =( that I didn't pursue the VIP terminal access...heard he hung around there a good half hour. Oh well, I though he would jsut rush through it..
my prize!!! Pic with Fernando! Awesome! Just sad the hotel lobby so dark...so gotta have flash..=)
