ryan star @ zouk kl
Note: Long post with lots of photos.
Last month, I blogged about winning passes to see Ryan Star’s showcase in Malaysia. That I went, but I didn’t mention that I got to attend the Meet ‘n Greet session held the day before too 
I left the office a good 45 minutes before the meet started. Normally that would have given me plenty of time to do whatever I had to do to get from PJ to KL. But that afternoon was hell. Don’t really want to talk about it.
Anyway I arrived at the hotel slightly late, so I had to wait (along with a couple other latecomers) to enter the suite. We finally went in, and Ryan Star was sitting there, surrounded by girls, boys, cameras, massive Channel [V] posters and lots of Channel [V] posse.
It was a bit intimidating to see him in real life, but he was real friendly and talked a lot. I just sat there and kept quiet lah, being the mouse that I am 
The small group of fans were asking him about his Rockstar Supernova experience and when his next album would be coming out and so on. I kept wanting to ask “OMG WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO MARRY ME?!?!” but luckily the angel on the right shoulder was working overtime that noon.
He then performed ‘We Might Fall’, the first song from his album ‘Songs from the Eye of An Elephant‘, and here’s a 1.35 min clip.
Ryan then signed posters, Nadia kept poking me to go get a personalised one etc etc but I told her I didn’t want a signed poster, I want a photo taken with him!
As it turned out, I got my wish. A little shaky perhaps, but I can still remember the feel of his leather jacket on my cheek…
Am I sounding like a groupie yet
The next day we went for the showcase in Zouk KL. Since it was raining and the doors would only open at a certain time, we had a couple drinks at the Terrace Bar. Alcohol always helps
Finally we strolled in at around 8 something. VJ Dom and VJ Joey G of Channel [V] hyped up the crowd with lots of shouting (”SCREAM IF YOU LOVE RYAN STAR” bla bla) and giveaways. Maya Karin and Sarah Tan were giving away nice goodie bags as well, and all the male winners took advantage of the situation and hugged the two hot VJs. Smart fellas.

Reshmonu performed for a bit, then more giveaways then finally Ryan Star appeared on stage. Yay!
Of all the songs he sang that night, I only recognised 4 — The Back Of Your Car, Losing My Religion, 11.59 and Hole In Head. Sorry lah, I’m not very good with names, it’s not like he was Michael Jackson where I had over 10 years to memorise his song titles and lyrics 
At the starting point of ‘The Back of Your Car’, the sound system fucked up quite bad. He was obviously pissed off, I mean, wouldn’t you? Poor Joey G got booed when he asked the audience to be patient, then Ryan came up and hugged him from behind and said don’t boo him, it wasn’t his fault. So cute *giggles*
Anyway after a while the sound was good to go, and Ryan went back to singing the song. Here’s the 3.15 min clip; my hand was not very steady that night so don’t watch this if you get headaches easily. Just listen to the music, I guess.
He could sing well lah. Well, we knew that from the Rockstar Supernova show anyway. I totally respect anyone who can sing live and not sound like a dying crow. RESPEK!
Photos and more photos.
So fun. I heart Ryan Star. Ikan tenggiri, ikan yu, jaga diri, I love you!
(yeah, copied those lines from GUBRA)
Left the arena to camho outside with Reshmonu…
… and a massive Ryan Star poster…
Btw thanks to Channel [V]! I don’t really watch Channel [V] (nor any other music shows with good looking VJs for that matter) but I am a StarWorld addict. That counts for something, kan?
Nearly 3 am… don’t think I can contribute anything anymore to this post that makes sense… so here’s a parting shot…
woot~ so lucky to be able to get TWO pics with him! anyways, that was a nice write up on the showcase. i enjoyed myself every single min. yah, i remember he came out and said not too boo joey G “he is goodlooking guy isn’t he?” something to that effect lah. heh

Poor guy, it looks as though he’s been in the wars (1st pic). Several black nails and two missing fingers - did someone slam the piano lid on his hands? Still, it hasn’t affected his playing - much

[...] There was the poster that Ryan Star signed for me. I didn’t request for that but he did it anyway, and although I am not one to keep posters, it seems such a waste to bin it. So I put it up on the wall next to my bookshelf. All these are like insignificant details that you don’t really need to know, but I feel so compelled to tell you [...]
