What: 共和國 United States Album First Autograph Session
When: 22 November 2008
Where: Bookfest@Singapore 2009, Suntec Convention Halls
—
It was a last minute decision for myself to head down to Suntec 2 days before my exams. But for many others, they had been anticipating this since 6 years back.
The most memorable part of this autograph session had to be our decision to ç©¿å our shirt, that is to wear it inside out. “You must be mad!” Yes I think we are mad.
It was definitely awkward initially, kind souls politely informed us that we were wearing our shirts inside out. So imagine the look on their faces when we replied, “Yep, we did it deliberately because Rui En has this song titled – ç©¿å”. Were we amused? Maybe.
And did I mention how we went round distributing red ribbons for AIDS awareness, made on our own accord? (Details).
The day ended with a frantic chase to the backstage and of course, a hurried group photo as always :)
