On-Hong Encore Concert - Meet & Greet Session

On-Hong Encore Concert - Meet & Greet Session
10 Oct 2009 @ 2.30pm
RedBox, The Gardens



I would say that was my first up-close encounter with both William So and Andy Hui. The last time I saw them was in 2005, during their concert in Genting Highlands. They swept me off then :p

The moment I saw the billboard by the highway that they'll be coming again for another concert, I've decided straight away that I'll go for the concert again. I sent messages to some of my friends if they'll be keen to go with me. In the end, I got Soo Mei and Wai Yee who would like to join too. And so, off I bought the tickets :D

I've added the fan page of William So in my facebook and got to know that they'll be in town for some promo activities. I contacted Candy from Hong Kong to get more details. It's so nice of her to provide me with all the details and getting me the pass for the promo event.

On 10 October itself, there're altogether 3 meet and greet / meet the fans sessions. One at 2pm, one at 8pm and one at 10.30pm @_@ I can imagine how they have to rush for the whole day.

The 2pm event was for Astro subscribers. Since I'm one of them and we're allowed to bring a friend, I went there with Wai Yee. Some people asked me since when I'm so keen on William and Andy and why am I going for the meet and greet session? Well, I have to admit that I'm not the biggest fan but overall, I do appreciate them as great performers and great singers. I also enjoy listening to their songs (though I can't sing them :p) So, I guess it's OK that I'm going there to show some support :p

That was also my first time at RedBox at The Gardens. I first went to the Astro desk to register myself. They put an Astrolife sticker on my shirt and gave me a T-shirt, which they said will be signed by William and Andy. We got the poster too.

I was surprised that the event was so nicely organised. They were using the big karaoke room for the gathering. William and Andy will be meeting with a group of about 50 fans in that room. There's a stage, LCD screen, sofas..etc.. and we were served with drinks and snacks, and not forgetting High Tea as well after the event. We were totally not expecting all these at all :)

The emcee started off with some games with the fans. Including passing the ping pong balls, some singing (William and Andy's songs) etc.. It was then that I realised the guy called to the stage for the game was someone that we know.. hahaha.. Both Wai Yee and I waved at him... and with the wave, the emcee thought Wai Yee wanted to participate with the game and she was called to join the game too :p It was lucky of her that she won a ticket to the concert (she said tho' it wasn't really her effort since our friend did all the singing lol!)


Short interview..

After that, they announced the arrival of William and Andy. The fans were very excited of course. Both looked great and jolly. The buddies have known each other for 24 years already. They mentioned another buddy of them (Edmond Leung) is still busy cooking in Hong Kong (they were referring to the show 'Beautiful Cooking' which Edmond co-hosts).


Playing games with fans

They were asked to play some games with the fans too, including one similar to Super Trio, where you have to describe the words shown on the screen for another person to guess. Another game is between 2 groups of with a black cloth separating them. And once they pull down the cloth, one must identify the person from the other group.

I must say that both William and Andy are both very humourous guys :p based on things/jokes they said and how they played the games.


Andy looked like he's so into the game


so full of expression..


So full of 'action'.. :p


A pic with fans who took part in the games

Once done, fans can get autography from Andy and William on the T-shirt given. I got mine signed too :) And don't think I'll wear that shirt :p (cuz' of the signature on it.. and also for the sad fact that it won't fit me :p).


William: Yay! Time to sign!!
Andy: Heh! Wait till your hand gone numb with all the signing


sign sign sign...


err.. are we done signing? :p


My shirt..

At first I was thinking of going for the promo event at Sg Wang at 8pm but on second thought, I was feeling tired already :p I headed home after that while Wai Yee went to Sg Wang. I heard it was good.




They looked like married couple huh? :p

And now, I'm looking forward to 14 November 2009 for their concert. For those of you who're keen to go for the concert, you can check out Genting's website for ticketing info here
