my love

I can see us holding hands

Walking on the beach, our toes in the sand

I can see us on the countryside

Sitting on the grass, laying side by side

You could be my baby, let me make you my lady

Girl, you amaze me

Ain't gotta do nothing crazy

See, all I want you to do is be my love

yours truly

周杰伦

Alright, back from my 2 month hiatus of blogging. So anyway, as you can imply from the title of this entry JAY CHOU! Today was the Gala premier of his new movie "不能说的秘密".

Reached Cathay Cineleisure with a friend around 530pm to scout the area ahead of Jay's appearance. Even at that time there were already throngs of people gathered around the metal barricade that bordered the red carpet on which Jay would be walking on. So i thought to myself apperance at 7pm still sufficient time to grab a bite. However, before that we stopped by Gramophone to redeem our freebies. As always it was a "WHILE STOCKS LAST" affair. Hence, we were out of luck in getting the Tea Party with Jay Chou. Alas, i guess 'twas not to be, but i didn't expect to get anything anyway.

Combed the area for a good spot to catch jay chou coming in. We found a seat and just stood on it till he came. With the onset of onimous clouds, the evening looked grim. Starting with a drop, then a drizzle, then it started to pour. To most, if not everyone's relief, the rain stopped in a hurry.

The time now is about 8pmish and we've been standing on this small area for the better part of 2 hours. Around this time a YES 93.3FM DJ (forgot her name) came up to warm up the crowd. Hahah if not for the first few rows of respondents i think it's safe to say her efforts were pretty much futile. Everyone's eyes were fixated at the entrance of the red carpet. Not long after, the DJ said Jay and his entourage were at Plaza Singapura, at that moment everyone bar the security guards whipped out their cameraphones, cameras and what have you. A sea of camera's engulfed my vision. Jay arrived in a white mercedes van, DAMN even the driver was giving the thumbs up and smiling to himself! And so he came, with the scream of a thousand puberscent girls,.THERE HE WAS , IN THE FLESH..... THE ONE ... THE ONLY! 周杰伦 !

As calm as ever, he walked down the red carpet, he did not stop to pose for photos, nor for autographs. Within 4 seconds he came and went. But if i had to guess, the closest he came to me was about 3 meters or so. And NO, i didn't get to smell his cologne unfortunately. In fact the air was a stirring mixture of moisture, sweat and saliva. Not exactly pleasent, but not as disgusting as you would imagine. However i'd definitely say it was worth it. With a black shirt and a grey blazer , his hair permanently fixated in place as if sculpted with cement. With every inch of him screaming coolness and suave, YES HE IS JAY CHOU. I probably sound like a girl in love for the first time, hahaha trust me i am no girl neither am i gay. But he does have an overwhelming aura that brushes off you.

Reaching the stage he and Lun Mei are introduced by the DJ. The irony!, as if 周杰伦 ever needed an introduction. To my and most others dismay, he did not perform a song. However, there was some random guy that went up to sing his song "不能说的秘密" the theme song of this movie. Jay played the piano while this other guy sang the song. I think nerves got the better of him, but who wouldn't if you had jay chou playing the piano and you're singing to couple hundred people in the open. His efforts are commendable nevertheless. At the end of the song though, Jay gave his own ring to the guy, saying that he was "gan dong". In my mind i was thinking "that lucky bastard". Further on he played a piano duet with the other lead actress, it was ok i guess. And so it was, face to face with Jay Chou for a good 15 minutes or so. Worth it or not? That's for you to decide!

The movie .... (Dont worry no spoilers la!)

The movie in my opinion was really really good. A really interesting twist to the movie i really would never have guessed! Orginal movie directed by Jay Chou i would expect nothing less. A love story with a twist to summarise. There was this ang moh guy sitting next to my friend, at the end of the movie he even had tears in his eyes LOL. Well if you're wondering what movie to catch next, i'd strongly reccommend this one. In all i'd give it 8/10 just for its story telling alone, truly brilliant.

*Note* Pictures are at max zoom and will appear pixalated.Not much closeups, reason being his swiftness along the red carpet. Some pictures are with a camera , some with a cameraphone, hence size and clarity will vary.

Chio Bu Meter for the day: 2/10. Horrendous would be an understatement here. One would think that jay chou has many pretty hot fans. However this was not the case today. Mostly Chinese Nationals (i have no idea what their talking about), Ah lians who dress as if their screaming for attention. And school girls who look like they just came back from playing basketball during recess.
