24th July 2004, 9:00pm S'pore Changi Airport
******************************************
Everybody was there to see him. The airport police had barricades on two side. Beng was there with me. Together with another two fans whom I met fromt eh forium, we waitied patiently for him. Finally, My charming Wai Zai (thats his nickname) walked out from the galss door. Surrounded by the police and bodyguards, he looked quite stunned. He was in a white tee-shirt, jeans and a black jacket and I guessed that correctly! He didn't have any moustache (the 2046 look) and wasn't in his signature uncle-looking sunglasses.
Everybody was very shocked. There were camera flshes everywhere. My friend yingying called out his name. He looked at us and smile. I was very excited and words were beyond to describe my excitement. I called him Wai Zai He turned around, smiled and waved at me! Beng manage to capture that sight! I totally melted...
The Police and boduguards escort him into the car and they zoomed off... It was indeed a short duration, but it was worth while cause its Tony Leung... Thank God I brought Beng with me. He took a lot of great pix with his trusty digicam n photography skills. With that I can "concentrate" drooling at Wai Zai

*****************************************
There was a autograph session for the 1st 80 fans. Unfortunately, I was there late! The security guards refused to let me into the queue. I almost cried. My two other friends Yingying n Michelle were in the queue and not me! I passed the card which was meant to be given personally to Wai Zai to Michelle.
At 4:00pm, Wai Zai apeared! He was in a white top (Its a promotion tee from StarHub Cable Vision Channel 62) jeans and his signature uncle-looking sunglases. He said hi and hello and the host proceed in interviewing him. He talked about his feeling when he was shooting Sound of Colours. Citing that the story was based Christmas but when they are filming, it was in Summer. It was very hot as he has to wear winter clothers. He also talked about his feelings for 2046. He said during the beginning of the filming, it was very relaxed. There wasn't any rush to it. However, towards the end of the fliming, it was very rush. There was very little time to rest. (2046 took Director Wong Kai Wai 4 yrs to film. The story was a spin-off from his previous movie In The Mood of Love. The last few mths of filming was very rushful as they plan to nomitnate the movie for the Cannes Award 2004. I heard that now he is adding more scene to the movie. The movie will be out in September 2004!!!)
Wai Zai proceed in signing the autograph while I juz look at him helplessly. The host then gave us a surprise. He offered 10 pple who is wearing green top the chances to get his autograph (It was a Starhub event, so that explain the green colour). I was demoralise again coz I was wearing RED!!! Damn It! Fortunately, Beng was wearing green! He was one of the chosen one! Thank You! I finally got Wai Zai autograph! Can You imagine my excitement? I mean being a fan of his for 10 over years, it was the first time I have his autograph!
The fans surrounded the whole pathway as he was about to leave. The Police and the beefcake bodygurad surrounded him again. When he waled out, I called him again. He shook my hands!!! I was elated! He managed to get onto the car after much help. Seeing the car drove off end my first time star chasing adventure! I truely is a crazy fan! I mean at my age still chasing after star that truly is crazy. But hey! Who cares right?! It Wai Zai, and thats worth chasing for....of coz Beng was disgusted at my behavior....
Later on, Michelle told me that she managed to give Wai Zai our cards. It was great hearing that. In conclusion, the adventure was a fruitful one and I must give my thanks, hugz, kisses to Beng aka my baby moo~moo~ Without his help, I wouldn't be able to get such clear shots of Wai Zai and of coz his autograph.... thanx a million!!!
I'll upload the pix later in the day for you guys so keep a look out....
Regards,
Clariss aka the silly, crazy little fan of Tony Leung, currently in cloud nine
