Is that you recoding Pope??!!
Ooh!. A Thai fan we met after Pope returned to his hotel room, took a picture of the card and also me with the card - I think she shared it! But I haven't seen any of those posts!!! Ahh! Please share!
Thanks for getting the card to him!!! I’ve never put my name on anything like this from following and watching Thai lakorns for over 10years! Very exciting! Am I a hardcore fan now?? Lol

Part 2 – And the Stars Re-Aligned!

Hi all!

I’m trying to gather my thoughts from this rollercoaster experience! Sorry for my long windedness! Didn't edit at all too.

Keke, saw some of you asking where did I get my info from? Gosh, I can tell you we did not have any complete info at all! It’s just hit or miss o_O

On Friday 12 midnight, I msg-ed a Thai lady who posted on a BPS FB page. Nope, I do not know her at all. :p She was posting about Pope coming to SG and hoping people will support him. Intro myself to her and asked for her help if they know any info on flight details. She was so kind to help check til 230am… And really, throughout the whole of Friday at the airport and later at the venue, she was constantly in touch trying to confirm on the flight, the changed timing, etc. Their side was having a hard time getting info as well! She said that a lot of Thai fans are rendering their support to us that we can meet Pope and really, it touched us alot! :thumbup:Seems that since this is a private event, the flight details were really kept secretive??

Back to yesterday 6pm…

After Rosi left for the day (will let her tell her side of the story as she’s off for a company retreat today/tmr:)), my friend, Michelle, came and we decided to park ourselves at the barricade area leading to the entrance. We were told that the guests will be dropping off in Porsches at the entrance. OHHH! How come the conceirge told us a different story just now? And that began a 3 hour standing exercise! We were surrounded by Avengers stars’ fans and when they saw our support boards, they were like “Who is this guy?” And so began a short intro on Pope and BPS, haha.

Really, this experience is really about meeting benefactors – the right people at the right time! So happened that another SG fan left early and this lady came to stand beside me. She’s Chinese who’s born, bred in Thailand and speaks Thai and Chinese. Came to SG for Avengers with a group of frens and was thrilled to know that Pope is attending too. She’s been a pope fan for 7 or 8 years as well! After some 3 hours after we squeezed there, I was just short of giving up hopes of seeing Pope. No sign of Pope at all. Guess he went in to the event hall by another route?? And the fashion show had ended. Was just hanging around for another SG fan to come by after work. Then something MIRACULOUS happened! The Thai/Chinese (TC) fan spotted Pope walking by behind near us??!! They ran out and I was still like huh??!! :confused12:

And gosh, there is Pope’s back facing me! He was starting to take selfies with some fans. My friend, Michelle and I were like stone statues, standing there and watching… OMG, IT’S REALLY POPE!! :aaaaa::aaaaa:


To be continued... writing!

The sequences are now based on my dazzled-by-you-know-who mind. Should be almost accurate haaa

Got Phet?! ❤
Oh yeah I didn't mention that I managed to pass him the card I made to his sister yesterday!! It was the only happy thing yesterday - and I think I was at least super lucky to still be able to meet his sister to pass it to him even though I didn't get to meet him in person.

This is the completed card which I haven't gotten to share before!


So today (26 May), a bunch of us 5-6 people including @Starsapphire and @Rosi decide to meet up at the airport at 5:30am to wait for him - was really trying out luck? Because not sure what time he would be there. We were expecting he would come in a bit later like 6am because his flight was at 7+am. Then just a couple of minutes after I arrived at like about 5:18~5:20ish, he was wearing the Hugo Boss event cap given as a freebie, and he was super lowkey and arrived at the door we were waiting at. We nearly missed him, and one of our friends spot him in time. He only came with his sister and they were lugging SO MANY bags personally.

We got autographs because @Starsapphire printed some of his photos for him to sign (thank you so much!!!!)

He looked kinda tired so no selfies - considering his schedule had been super busy, and we were really happy enough to see him already! He was really still very, very nice, and smiling even though he must be exhausted already.

These two are taken by me from this morning but I'll leave it to the rest to share the other photos/videos!

And I got the same cap as him from the event too :p (which I had to attend with my company - which is why I wasn't with @Starsapphire, sadly) hahaha

And we met up and talked with the Thai fan who @Starsapphire and our other SG friend met yesterday at the event!

Really big kudos to @Starsapphire for sourcing most of the flight info!!! So happy for them who got to take selfies and talked to him!! :p

I'm sure @Starsapphire will share her side of the story later! Haha.
I love this!! Thank you sooo much for sharing with us!! :icon12::icon12:

Part 3 – A MIRACLE, A DREAM CAME TRUE!

We saw Pope! He looked so mightily dashing in his dark blue Hugo Boss suit - a princely feel, a face of quiet dignity and charm. Nek was pushing us forward to get selfies with Pope but we couldn’t – simply cos we were still in a state of shock! Think Michelle mentioned to me the Nek (the Thai/Chinese fan) explained to Pope that we are SG fans. We then showed him our support boards (dunno where we managed to muster the courage…!), he smiled broadly and oohs and aahs. Then, I began in rapid English (I was feeling rushed that he needed to leave already!) that we are SG fans, had waited for him at the airport this morning. Actually I didn’t know what he said in reply at all as he spoke gently/softly. It was only just now when we met up at the airport for the sending off that the Nek said that Pope replied it was an “accident” in English. Oh, he understood all that we said but maybe really just very shy to reply/speak much in English? :)


We managed to take selfie with him. Had planned to flank him but he moved me to his right too, so that he, the selfie guru, could take the selfie with his all muscular hand. :naughty2: Michelle was then holding up the support board and told me that Pope was using his right arm/elbow to help raise up her hand from below too til the selfie was taken. Awwwwww~ Is it to ensure that the support board got into the picture view? And/or to relieve Michelle from the strain? Either way, it’s so sweet! :love:

Everything happened in a blur and I couldn’t really recollect alot of scenes- please pardon me~ I need other fans’ help to tell me too haa! In the midst of these, Michelle actually managed to borrow a marker and asked Pope to sign on one of the support boards. By this time, the Hugo boss assistant was already getting/pushing Pope to leave. Michelle must have shown Pope her pleading puppy eyes and being the super nice guy as always, Pope signed the board!:clap:

As he began to walk off, I suddenly recalled that oh no! I still have with me a paper bag for him! In it were the 2 SG Chinese newspaper articles, the Merlion chou chou and a short printout explaining on Merlion and the meaning of Chou Chou! Quickly moved forward and passed him the paper bag. Also told him this is from the International Fans and that we have an English online forum. :) Couldn’t recall what else I said!! Did I put out my hands and asked for a handshake?? I couldn’t recall, gosh! I asked him to come back to Singapore again and suddenly, I remembered the Thai translation that the FB Thai fan, Pat, taught me! "Ma Singapore Eek Ka"! I forgot the ‘Ka’ and Thai fans helped me along. Think I heard laughter around, maybe at my bad pronunciation, haaa! :facepalm::p

Then he walked off, leaving Michelle and I squealing! Gosh, we should have followed the entourage of fans who trailed him all the way back to the Hugo Boss boutique!

After the other SG fan, Tricia, arrived, we went to Hugo Boss and saw another Thai fan, Poon who said Pope was there til a while ago! Aiya, missed him. Nek later told us this morning that they escorted him back to the hotel area. Then we happened to see Pope sis and the Hugo Boss asst walked by.

@milquety managed to pass her card to Pope sis to pass to Pope! They were very happy to see the card! :thumbup: I asked on his departure flight details but she politely replied she can’t reveal… Ok we can understand…

We hung around MBS for a while… thinking if Pope will come down for a meal? :confused12:You know, there’s the famous Chilli Crabs! Well, no luck and we decided to call it a day… a long day in fact, with beautiful memories to last us for a long time to come…:icon12:
