What an exhausting day *sigh*
I arrived in Bangkok at 3:30pm, 40-min ahead of schedule. And there’s nothing inside the arrival hall. No restaurant, no coffee shop, not even vending machine. The only thing they have is cosmetic counters… and I had to spend 7 hours there T_T
Luckily by 8pm lily_white arrived, so I didn’t have to wait for him all by myself. We made our way to his gate around 9:30pm, and how different it was from last time! Only about 10-15 people were waiting with us; all mostly airport employees. I was the only one rolling a luggage with me ;P
There was already one shuttle car stationed there, and about 6 security guards. As time went by, more security guards came and more shuttle cars too (oh, they’re really better prepared this time around). By 10pm, there were about 8 security guards there (there were only about 4 in January) and 5 shuttle cars (there was none in January) ready to whisk him off. So I knew I had to move fast to catch up with the cars.
Passengers started to come out from the gate, and I saw his mom and dad out too. They waited for him at the side, then 411 CEO greeted them and took them to one of the shuttle cars. But they didn’t get in straight away; still waiting for their son to come out kkkkk
Then from afar I saw someone wearing black sleeveless shirt and sunglasses walking down the gate (I was still in the process of getting used to his new hairstyle, but when I saw him, I swear the hair looked pretty good! When it was on pics, one can focus too much on the hair. But seeing him again as a whole, he looked as good as ever ^O^) Not much screams this time around… I took one pic of him, and when I saw him getting into one of the shuttle, I ran like crazy to the immigration area. Hadn’t even had dinner yet and I was running until my breath whizzed ;P Hunger, exhaustion and thirst were all forgotten at that moment hahahaha But all paid off because I got to the immigration area ahead of the cars ^O^ I took out my phone thinking to tweet something when I saw the cars arrived, so I took out my camera instead. He looked so relaxed, with his leg out at the side tapping the floor as the car moved… then off I went to the immigration as he went into the VIP section.
When I made my way to the custom, his group was walking down toward it too. I hurried and managed to slip by the security and ended up walking behind him ;P All thought about taking pics poofed from my mind (can’t blame me. he was really too close!! ;P) All I thought about was how shiny and soft his hair looked, and how good his skin was. I could even see the little pores on his arm hahahaha ;P And he’s not as fair as I thought… a bit tanned. Only when more people squeezed in before me, I remembered my camera kkkkk
Anyway, he gave flying kiss to the fans waiting for him while making his way out to the waiting cars. More and more people squeezed in front of me, and I didn’t even try to get close to him anymore. I saw some friends and made my way to them while he went into the car.
All in all, it was a much better experience than last time. Nobody (well, only one or two) stepped on my feet this time ;P Waited for Weng to come while having super late dinner then made our way to the hotel around 1am ^^;; What a lo~~~ng day…
Thanks for sharing! Nice story as always. Keep me updated, please:)
would you please tell me how many eels waiting for him this time. just a guest. i read some sources and they said that he was not warmly welcomed in Thailand. even the ticket for his show has not been sold out yet. I am so sad to hear about it
kkkkk sorry for replying so late; didn’t have time or internet these last few days ^^;;
Rough guess: more than 500 ;P Can’t compare it with January, since he arrived so late this time (11pm) on weekdays, so the younger fans who have school the next day wouldn’t get permission to go to the airport. It’s true that the tickets were not sold out though… but I wouldn’t say not warmly welcomed since more than 3000 people showed up for the FM ^^
Shiro, you are so cute! Thanks to you we have a picture of Keun Suk in the airport shuttle with his one leg hanging out. I was wondering what he was doing with it and here you have described him tapping his feet on the floor as the shuttle was moving along! That is so adorable.
If Keun Suk happen to read your account of the efforts you have gone through to be with him, he would be very impressed. The next time, he may even be looking out for you when he travels for his Cri Shows!
hahahaha he WAS so cute!! and so child-like tapping his foot that way 😛 He was actually looking around and smiling but I pressed the shutter a second too late bcoz I was too busy looking at him hahahaha ^^;;
Yah, can totally imagine him doing that – smiling, looking around and tapping his feet as the shuttle was moving along. So child-like and cute. Wonderful to know that he was in such a light and happy mood!:)
P.S. I understand that he was playing tennis back home prior to the trip which could perhaps explain why he was slightly tanned this time.
I wonder what happened. Last year there was a sea of fans waiting for him in the airport, how could there be so little fans this time? I’m a little bit sad,and I really want to know what was the reason. 😦
