Rafa at KLIA

this is the second part of Rafa-filled post, so if you're not up to it mentally, you can go now!
just want to share my experience with ppl and, its my blog newy, so you're stuck with this!
i warned you!


21-11-2007

we actually did go to Kuala Lumpur International Airport. haha.
the semangatness of us, the fanaticas.
Fizah didn't come, as she needed to go shopping with her mom.
so. me n Sya went there.
me, as usual, with super high hopes, and sya, kept on saying 'don't hope too much', lol, yeah she's right.
but i couldnt help it!

at KLIA, we waited.
i just realized i forgot to bring pen and paper! baka!
but no matter, pic with him is more important.
so i equipped myself with video cam.

there were moments we thought maybe he was on board already.
but i trust my instinct. lol.

about less thn an hour later, we saw it. the Ritz Carlton black car.
there he was. Rafael Nadal.
there were actually maybe less than 10 fans there. which is good!
outside already, i was bz with the vidcam, when i saw Sya approached him and "rafa can i take pictures with u?" Rafa "yeah sure". omg, she talked to him!! so jealous.
so, sya said to me "cepatlah!"(lol), gave the cam to someone to snap, n i quickly join them, dunno where to stand, and squeezed myself between them.
me. next to Rafa. my arm brushed against his. the Rafa.
sya said he smells nice, which i was paralyzed with shock to even noticed anything.

then we(the few fans) followed him all the way inside.
me with vidcam, the only one, mind u, i felt like an annoying paparazzi, haha.
he was actually very nice, posed for pictures, and [the pictures at left, middle one is Sya's] stopped again to sign autographs (which i didnt get!)
then some of us said stuff like 'pls come again', i said 'bye' (he looked at me!)and he said stuff like 'thnks'.
and i still
record him till he reached the lounge and watch him till he was out of sight.


now, by this time, there were a lot of 'what ifs', 'i should haves' , 'y didnt i' in my mind.
but like Sya said, focus on the good things! and the good things are very good already.



Seeing Rafa in person, he was really tall, and quite slim, not that really bulky like in tv (myb bcos of the tshirt?)! he was very quiet. not annoyed or anything, probably was in rush. but he did everything we asked. besides, he was alone! totally alone. without his entourage. After he reached the lounge, the bodyguards left him. alone. and how i wish to buy tickets on spot to accompany him. haha.

my dream came true, and im so happy of it.

Rafa, please do come again in Malaysia!
and Gasquet too, not having enough of him.
to the Ministry of Youth and Sports, pls invite them again, next year!
to those who were at klia, contact me, maybe we could fangirls 2gether and xchnge pix. haha.
Sya, Australian Open jom! lol.


will upload snaps from my vidcam later! until i figure out how... Later !
