HELLLOOOO. Its gonna be a long post ahead !
As in my previous post, I went to Singapore to see Joe Brooks plus Meet and Greet.
Before the day itself, Was rushing to finish making the personal card for Joe, not to mention the Christmas present/card to give him.
Its bloody thick.
Did my best. I hope you'll like it Joe :)
Gave him a "I Love Malaysia" shirt from Giordano.
Hope he'll actually wear it, especially if he comes down to Malaysia :)
So, On Thursday morning, woke up bloody early, met with the other winners, Lisa and her brother, Juhaidah and her sister plus one of the Sony member, Szujane. Took a First Coach bus which have quite up-to-date movies to kill our 5 hours journey.
Reached Singaporeeeee, (Taken with Canon S90)
This my sampat friend, Kong Min Xuan.
SUPPPP.
Big round ferries wheel.
Peace.
Excited to see Joe Brooks ! ♡
We're cool like that ;)
Our Personal cards :)
Have to walk abit to reach the MRT station. Slightly different from Malaysia LRT but its cool. Do you know that the Singapore Escalator is faster than Malaysia? Way faster. #Singaporefact LOL.
The ticket to travel round Singapore !
Reached our hotel just after 2 stops. Its a 4 star. Hotel Royal At Queens. Ain't that bad :)
The room ! With our luggage.
Impromptu picture.
Yeah man, taking out clothes need posing skills :D
Only have an hour to bath and to go see Joe. Was slightly more excited by then. Since we're already in the same zone/country as Joe. HAHAHA
My good good friend :D

Have a spare 10 minutes plus, so we kill it by taking pictures. Taken with DSLR.
Min Xuan and Joe Brooks Malaysia Edition CD :)
Story of my awesome shirt.
Vivien saw it at Forever 21, bought it cause Joe is British, hoping he will like it.
Anyway, its super comfortable. Worth my money plus it was on sale.
Min Xuan with my artwork.
Will you Joe? Will youuu?
Us with the Christmas present !
Then off we go ! All of us still weren't that excited. I mean we were. (Obviously) But we were all keeping it inside. Ready to unleash the excitement for later.
Reached. Have to walk for round 10 minutes till we reach Esplande Recital Studio.
Taken with Canon S90,
Some random doodle round the long walk.
Did some identification as we're from Malaysia. Saw some other people who was staring at us. Turns out, they were Singapore winners to M&G with Joe too ! :) They were a whole bunch of them. We were like such a small pack standing next to them.
The sticker badge to identify we are for the Meet and Greet.
Me with my gifts ! :)
(Juhaidah camera)
All of us before going in. (Szujane's camera)
Went in. NOW we were starting to have fan-girling moment. My gosh.
While waiting.
Lisa, Ariff, Min Xuan and me :D
(Juhaidad camera)
AND AND AND FINALLEHHHHHH, We were the first, I REPEAT, FIRSTTTT(!) to see Joe Brooks. HAHAHA. Nope, not the Singapore people. BUT US, MALAYSIANS ♡ I guess cause maybe he give priority to us since he chose us personally as the winner ♡♡
Taken with Canon S90,

Its true ! I ain't faking it !
We were waiting right outside, excited and all squealy, when we.heard.Joe.talk. Right after he talk, WE WENT INSANEEEE. We were all squealing and all. Jumping around and stuff. THEN, ITS TIME TO GO IN.
We went berserk. We were all talking in high pitch, "HI JOEEEEEEE" "THIS IS FOR YOU! "HANDS GIFT" " ETC.
Surprisingly, there were no guards or whatsoever *refers to David Archuleta post* . and we hug him. WE HUG HIM. AND HE GLADLY HUG US BACK. AND HE SMELLED SO GOOOOD. That smell can't be describe at all. LOL. I see everyone outside was peeping through the window and all squealing and I was happily enjoying myself sniffing Joe's cologne and hugging him.HAHA. Not to mention, he was super touched we got him gifts. He said he didn't expect all those presents.
OH, WHILE EVERYONE WAS TALKING TO HIM, HE RANDOMLY SAID TO ME, "I LIKE YOUR SHIRT!" DIED OF HAPPINESS. I SWEAR. HAHAHA. MY MONEY WAS REALLY WORTH IT PAYING FOR THAT SHIRT. HAHAHAHAHA.
Anyway gave my presents in a Paper bag so he didn't get to open my card while he open Lisa and told her he remember some of the drawings.
THEN, I open my Superman picture and ask, DO YOU REMEMBER THIS? He said " OH THAT, YEAH, I REMEMBER" HAHAHAHAHA. Died of happiness. Again.
None of it was taken by my camera. Either Lisa, Szujane or Juhaidah.
Lisa hugging Joe.
HE SAID THAT I SHALL PUT EVERYTHING IN THE PAPER BAG.
ITS MUCH EASIER.
HAH. MY PAPER BAG IS USED FOR GOOD BY JOE.
HAHHHHHHH(!)
Look at us. All starring at whatever he's doing.
He was browsing through Lisa Artwork :)
HAPPYYY.
Picture of Him hugging Juhaidad.
I know I have a picture of him hugging me tooooo :( But its in someone camera. Even though its blurry.
From the Canon S90,
YEAH, SO CLOSE :D
I secretly took this shot while he was viewing Lisa's artwork.
SO ADORABLE. GOSH :D
Group picture timeeeee :D
YAY, STANDING RIGHT NEXT TO HIM ♡
While we were having multiple group picture shots, I was preparing my camera on the other hand, ready to snap a picture with him. (Scared couldn't have a personal picture with him)
When everyone's done with the picture, I quickly face to camera towards us, "HI JOE, CAN WE TAKE A PICTURE? " He replied, "SURE"
And there you have it.
I CAMWHORE WITH JOE BROOKS.
I HAVE A PICTURE WITH A CELEBRITY.
I HAVE JOE BROOKS LOOKING ALL CUTE WITH THAT POSE WITH ME.
I HAVE JOE BROOKS SUPER CLOSE TO ME IN THE PICTURE.
I LOOK LIKE SHIT BUT I CAMWHORE WITH JOE BROOKS.
♡
He thought he blink so he said "I think I blink in the picture" Checked, NOOOPEE, He didn't. So I told him he didn't. Kinda regret saying no, IF NOT I COULD HAVE ANOTHER PICTURE WITH HIM. Oh well. BETTER THAN NOTHING :D
Then everyone wanted a personal picture with him. LOL
Help Min Xuan took a picture.
SEEEE, ITS SO NICE COMPARE TO THE CAMWHORE ONE.
Plus the lighting was way nicer :)
Then, its time to leave. HUGGED JOE AGAIN and pester him to come to Malaysia. Told him there are alot of Malaysia Fans and he said he knows and he said, February. Not guarantee but he's aiming February (something like that) :') Died another round. I swear that place was like heaven for awhile. LOL.
Went out. Squeal somemore. Then the others went in and we continue squealing and head up to start lining up for the show !
The ticket. Free of course :)
Taken with Canon.
With Lisa Embleton :)
She's super cool !
Taken with DSLR.
3 of us !
Lisa's camera :D
With our purchase and tickets !
Wanted to get the hoodie but it was super expensive. Sing 50 dollars D:
If its in RM, I wouldn't have doubted.
But we have to convert :(
Got the shirt in the end :D
Szujane's camera :D
Finally went in and rushed to find the best seats. Turn out its a seating area with comfy chairs and movie-like seats. Means its from high to low. Super love the place of the concert/showcase instead of stuff hall/mall like Malaysia. MALAYSIA SHOULD HOLD MINI CONCERT OR SHOWCASE LIKE THIS. Much better.
Taken with Canon S90
3 of us !
I look super nice here #vainmoment
And here too ! :D
The recital hall.
Seeee. So nice. Makes you feel at home.
Perfect for Joe Brooks Acoustic showcase :)
Just perfect. the environment, the lightings. (Y)
ITS TIMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE,
Everyone screamed like mad. It was majority girls. So just imagine 200 over girls screaming in a small hall. MADNESS.
Didn't know we could actually bring in DSLR :D Was so scared they will ban our camera and have to go through all those shitty stuff like in Malaysia. WHY MALAYSIA. WHY COULDN'T YOU HAVE PROCEDURE LIKE SINGAPORE? NO GUARDS DURING M&G. NOT RUSHING US AND SHOO-ING US FROM TAKING PICTURE WITH THE ARTIST AND ALLOW US TO BRING DSLR !
Was juggling two cameras like mad. DSLR used for recording and trying to get as many good shots as possible. Although DSLR is allowed but there's one rule, NO FLASH allowed. AT ALL. Fine with me ! :)
Taken with Canon S90,
Saying bye to us all ♡
Taken with DSLR, Sent in few of really good shots of all.
Pretty boy ♡
He ruffled his hair and drank water.
HIS HAIR. ♡
MESSY HAIR.
Looks even cuter ♡
LOOK AT THE GORGEOUS SMILE ♡
Black and white, Messy hair. Whats not to love? ♡
Recorded all the videos. Am posting up a few. Do view them. Although you might wanna be careful of piercing screams. Or you can just go to Youtube find 'Joe Brooks Singapore Concert 2011' and find mine. My youtube name is riwerntlw :)
Green eyes.
Super love this song :)
Especially the starting where the way he strums the guitar.
Holes Inside. The current famous song.
Nicely done acoustic version with a change of pitch just for us.
Superman. The MOST popular song of his.
Look out for the part where someone yelled "YOOWWWW"
and he pause and laugh. SUPER CUTE.
He sang this new song he just wrote Last Tuesday.
Fell in love instantly. Its like a mixture of Jason Mraz and Maroon 5.
Its call Till My Heart Stop Beating.
VERY ADDICTIVE. Can't wait for his next album ♡
Kaleidoscope. My all time favourite song :)
Super upbeat and love how he made the lyrics :)
There's more. Alltogether there's 11 songs and there's even a video where he talk about the scarfs which is tied on to the mike :)
HE'S SUCH A JOKER. Lovely guy. Lovely voice. He can definitely sing live. And I'm always a fan of acoustic so I totally love this Acoustic showcase. He made Jokes abit here and there. And although he keep saying I love Singapore I'm sure he love Malaysia too :)
Then, when he said his goodbyes and stuff, he told us there will be autograph session and before he could even leave, EVERYONE RUSHED OUT. Every fans was RUNNING. I saw everyone ran, So we ran too. End up on the first lane. HAHAHA. It was a long long queue. Was thinking whether until which line he will sign. Turns out he even let the fans have a personal picture with him ! SEE HOW SWEETHEART IS JOE?
Taken with Canon S90,
Lisa with her ready wooden love to let him sign ! :)
MY TURN ! Wanted him to sign my Superman artwork even though they said only merchandise items. THANK GOD HE SIGNED ♡ Even made him promise me to come to Malaysia and he did. He said I Promise :)
ANOTHER PICTURE WITH JOE :D
This time, he looked so tired and I felt so sorry for him :(
My signed album.
My signed artwork.
Happy kids with our signed stuff :D
Picture by Szujane :)
This is SzuJane :D
She's sooooooo cuteeeee :D AHAHA.
Friendly and she even interview Joe on behalf for FLYFM after the autograph session.
SO LUCKYYYYY !
LOL at that.
He's so cute. Juhaidah told me he freaked out when he spelled "studying" wrong
and he keep going Oh no, what should I do? LOL.
SO CUTE ♡
With Juhaidah and her sister :D
They are only 13 and 15 years old ! :D
Decided to head for dinner as we were starving. Haven had a proper meal since morning itself. And so we took our sweet time walking back. Ate at Burger's King and chit-chatted. Talk somemore about Joe. Thinking what will SzuJane asked him about. And decided to head back to see whether Joe is still there. Being a fan girls, we sort of walk super fast and force ourself and keep saying, FOR JOEEEEEE and rushed to the place.
TRUE ENOUGH. HE'S STILL THERE ! HE ACTUALLY SIGNED AND TOOK PHOTO WTH EVERY.SINGLE.FAN. Omg. My heart totally drop by then. It was late. He was super tired ( you can see by looking at him) and he still have an interview to do. Such a gentleman. No? Tell me how many artist will actually do this?
Got a shot of him and a fan :)
He still can put on his best smile.
Sigh :)
Then szujane went in and interview Joe. It was rather long and I was wondering what were they doing in there *wiggles* HAHAHA.
Him posing with HOT magazine.
And him posing with GALAXIE magazine.
Funny. Now I know how artist poses for magazines. Always wonder how. HAHAHA. And when he pose, he thought it could be the same and turn out both magazine are competitor so he have to do a different pose. What he did? He took of his jacket. LOL. So funny !
Szujane pity him so she didn't ask much question. Seriously, I feel so sad for him. He's totally exhausted. He even tweeted about it. LOL. Plus, he's heading to Korea for his next performance. Thank god there's a few days break for him. Anyhow, the video is gonna be on FlyFm by this week so stay tune !
While she was interviewing him, we were like some homeless people sitting on the floor alone. On high because of HIV and Nerds. *inside joke* Just me, min xuan, Juhaidah and her sister. Lisa and her brother went for dinner with their mum :D
What the hell am I doing. I don't know.
(Juhaidah's camera)
Looking tired but happy!
(Juhaidah's camera)
Peace.
Taken with Canon.
Such a sexy picture of him. MEOW.
HE'S MY SEXY DUDE *wiggles eyebrow* HAHA
Then headed back to hotel, Online at the lobby bout 30 minutes and off to bed as we have to leave early the next morning.
Breakfast wasn't that bad :)
Good food !
With Szujane :D
Taken from Juhaidah's camera :)
On the way back.
Walking to MRT station.
Such a coincidence that both of us are wearing red.
HAHA
In the bus. HAPPY KID. GOING HOME.
(Taken by Szujane's camera)
