went to changi airport to meet LUG in person!! 12 Sept 06

Yesterday was the most memorable.




Last night I went to Changi Airport to see off LUG. I went there early, and went into Mini Toons to buy a gift card.




I bought it, and went to Polar Cakes to eat my dinner. (Consisted of 2 black pepper croissants, and grass jelly soy drink.) Basically I spent the remaining of my $$ at that moment.)




I sat down, and a feeling of Déjà vu overwhelmed me. I felt as if I had been there. Flashes of my dream crossed my mind. Then I realized that I had dreamed of this before. Louisa had phoned me before and asked me to watch out for LUG. I spent the time waiting and drafting a short inspiring letter to LUG. She thought that I would wait for Shinhwa only, while she intended to wait for their guest performer LUG. They arrived at the departure hall around 7 plus… They told me that they bought necklaces for everyone except for Ugi, and Louisa bought him a bracelet instead. Me? Having made a mistake on the gift card, Louisa’s sister gave me a postcard for me to write instead.




Frankly speaking, I rather wait for LUG, as the chances of meeting them are higher. We waited for a while. Louisa and others had decided to wait and sing their songs, as it would attract their attention. They prepared the mini speaker, and attached their mp3 to it.

They played the songs, and practiced for a while. Louisa’s sister and her friend went to check whether LUG had arrived or not.




10 mins later, they phoned Louisa, telling her that LUG had arrived. The rest got excited.

I told myself, “ The drama begins…”




They ran over to the counters, where we bumped into the rest.




“They are coming! They are coming! We gotta wait here!!” they whispered.




Soon after, LUG appeared. Our group literally screamed. I got ready my camera and caught them on camera. All of us grabbed the chance to go up to them and present them their presents. Louisa gave Ugi his bracelet, and he accepted them with a grateful bow. She was happy and returned the bow.




I waited for him, and just stood him in front of him smiling, waiting for my turn. He was surprised and really happy to see me. He literally smiled and accepted my postcard, again ending his greeting with a more enthusiastic bow. But I just stood there with a shocked face, blinking twice. I never really expected him to bow to me, and looking at his reaction, my brain was unable to register for a few moments.


(I also felt my postcard was nothing compared to other gifts, as they bought each member a necklace, and Ugi, a bracelet. They were better compared to mine.)


I just stared at him, and he continued looking at me for a few minutes, trying to restrain his laughter. I came out of the daze and did a small bow. I imitated a camera, asking him if we could take a picture. He said something in Korean, and Louisa understood him. He turned to his manager, who was standing in front of us.


“I’m sorry, but he can’t” he spoke to us smilingly, and his hand gently nudged us away. I saw his face a bit red and I understood at that time that he saw the whole incident.




We got the message and I turned to Louisa, returning back to our spot.




“Huh? What did he say?” I asked her.


“He said that I can’t” she translated to me. She repeated a Korean word and translated it into English... I just went oh…




We waited at our spot and the rest returned to us. They tuned up the mobile loudspeaker, and went “da… da… da..” to the music. They played LUG’s songs, and began singing along. Me? I just swayed to the music but never sing along… haha.. I unfortunately don’t have their album so I don’t have the time to memorize the lyrics.




Other people came behind the barrier and took pictures of them. Excited screams rang out when one of the members glanced at us. (I’m not going to mention who screamed continuously here though.) They disappeared behind the pillar, and continued registering at the counter. The person, whom I gave the postcard to, glanced in our direction twice and I just continued shooting the video. His friends did the same.




Their cameraman took a video of us continuously… We just ignored him and continued singing. I also took a video of him... haha… It was a bad mistake here… The moment they turned towards us, my camera died on me.




To be continued…
