went to ximen mtr station to get our concession. it was a 5D concession, unlimited rides. decided to get it.
and off we go!!! we went to take train to 圆山 stop to change over to bus to 内湖.
boarded the bus and got off at one of the stop. the bus driver advised us to change over to another bus, if not we can walk too. decided to walk since we still have time. hehe.
Taipei roads are really LONNGGGGGGG.. we asked directions along the way. everyone tell us that 八大 is just down the street, one of the 2 buildings. we been walking and asking and everyone was saying: "下面，两栋大厦就是了." goodness.. walked and walked.. FINALLY!!! saw a group of ppl under one building and supposed thats GTV. YES!!! IT IS!! YEAHHH!! FINALLY!! ONE MORE STEP NEARER TO MEETING 小猪小鬼!!
queued up along with the group. didnt know who was gonna appear on the show. so decided to ask the people in front. haha. they told us it was 星光帮 and it was 百分百听证会. LUCKY AH!!!! i got watch taiwan entertainment programme so i knew who they were. haha. only jiahui didnt know. (see? no scv is lidat de)
we queued up for about 45mins. talked to the locals and made friends with them. took pics. there was this little girl, she was only 12. SO CUTEEEE!! goodness. i think i m becoming more and more paedophile. now even girls! haha!!!
finally, time for us to enter the studio to join the recording! YEAH YEAH!! EXCITED EXCITED!!
GOD! the lift to bring us up to the 9th floor where bai fen bai is recorded is SOOO BIGGG!! it can hold more than 50 ppl i think..SUPER BIG!!
EXCITED EXCITED! FINALLY REACHED!! waited awhile outside the studio then we were allowed into the studio. everyone instantly became quiet. the staff there then start to arrange seats for us. we were allocated to sit on the right hand side of the studio which means we will be very close to xiao zhu and xiao gui!! but, our camera shy jingmin, dun want to be shown on tv. So, we changed to sit on the floor instead. haha.
actually, the studio wasnt as big as what i imagined. its rather small as compared to what i've imagined based on watching from tv. haha. settled down for a while and then, the staff began to give out boards with the stars name. we borrowed one from the girl sitting beside and took a pic. haha.
after waiting a while more, FINALLY!! first, xiao gui came in the door behind us.. SOOOO CUTEEEE!!!! he went straight to the centre and began to get ready. HE WAS SO FRIENDLY AND CUTE!!! the fans were like: "小鬼, here here!!" then he posed for them!! SO CUTEEE!!!
after a short while, xiao zhu came in!! WAHHHHHH, i tell you!!! the superstar charisma and coolness can be felt immediately.. SHUAI DAOOOOOOO!!!! omg, i instantly melted.. so handsome!!!!
the both of them began to get ready, chatted awhile.. actually, xiao zhu on tv and away from tv is indeed abit different. he is actually more cold away from tv. BUT! STILL AS HANDSOME AND SHUAI!!!
and.. 5,4,3,2,1... 录影咯!!! YEAH!!!
we attended 2 recordings at a go. 1st is 百分百听证会. 2nd is 百分百真心听证会. i was amazed by one thing of the audience. they all know when can take pic when cannot. to do what, not to do what. AMAZED!!!
had a short break in between. the hosts changed their clothes. audience and stars had their break too!! and again.. 5,4,3,2,1.... 录影咯!!!
the whole thing ended at ard 4pm. before leaving, we expressed to xiaogui that we are from singapore and wish to take a pic with him. he say outside. so we went outside to wait.. end up? NEVER!! the staff ask us to come back at 7pm instead. so we decided to go miramar then come back.
went to miramar. went carrefour 1st to get our bathing necessities and bought some food. they do not provide plastic bags for you. you hafta pay if you want. walk ard. decided to have our meal. walked about the basement food court. i tell you. the food court in taiwan is really different from that in singapore. almost all their food courts are like high class food courts. we passed by this teppanyaki restaurant and decided to go for it.
YUMMY!!! very nice!! and pretty afforable!! NICE NICE!!!
after meal, went up to miramar ferris wheel to take pics. time to head back to 八大!!
there were quite a crowd downstairs. bet everyone's here for xiao zhu and xiao gui. xiao zhu left by the main door. everyone began to follow. me n emi didnt know who it was so asked the ppl in front. they told us was xiao zhu so we followed. nt long after, he left in his car(those ming xing kind. big black with opaque windows). he stopped awhile before the lights. he rolled down a bit of his window and looked out. he was in his shades!!! DAMN SHUAI!!! 帅到......!!!!
xiao gui left shortly too but thru the main door. haizzzz.. wasted. but nvm. had a very enjoyable time at the recording.
headed back to miramar to take our long awaited ferris wheel!!!! queue wasnt very long. took video thru'out the ride. haha. jingmin was freaked out like hell. haha. i got fear of heights also not as serious as her. she was clinging tightly to the panes thru'out the ride.. haha!! so funny!!! the view on top was really really nice.. you can see 101 and the night view...
