Jakarta, Indonesia
My father asked me to come early to the airport because I will go abroad that are required to arrive 2 hours before the plane departed. I'm off to SHIA escorted by my parents and my brother. To be honest I could not sleep last night because my mind somehow think that the plane that took the fall. Perhaps because of this 3x I boarded the plane, so the bad things kept happening to my mind.
At the airport I met with other fans who will go to Malaysia to attend a fanmeeting. Although only 3 people (including me) but it was very interesting for me. We had a chat before meeting each other. Actually I was a bit disappointed because coming into this fanmeeting only 3 people. Supposedly if the promoter can get a good schedule. So, fans of Indonesia who came there were 7 people. But ... maybe the others have not been destined so can not meet them.
The more I think bad because when I got to the airport, the weather in Jakarta so unfriendly. Rain. Yes, though not heavy but smog so thick, it makes me afraid.
Luckily I had printed my boarding pass online so my friend and I go to a special immigration for Indonesian. We do not need to check in is usually quite time-consuming. We waited about 15 minutes before going on plane. There is a rather strange occurrence that is actually illegal. So... I and my friend, we sat side by side. But suddenly, when we want to occupy our seats, there is a mother and her child sit on the bench in our seats. I'm afraid I wrong, I check the back where our seats. I think the mother for the first time on a plane so he could guess arbitrarily exchange seat.
Since this is a small plane, to move was a bit hard so my friend decided to sit on actually the mother and child are. So I told the mother that I was not going to exchange a seat with her. During the trip, I just pray and I surrendered everything to God whatever happens with this plane. Oh yes I almost forgot if the plane taking me to Malaysia is AirAsia which is operated by Malaysian government not Indonesian government. Although Malaysia and Indonesia still one family and our language is somewhat similar, I still choose to speak English because there are some Malay tough I mean in Indonesian.

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

| My team. WE ARE SXF INA!!! |
Nothing 'special' in KLIA for me because I think almost all the airports would have to 'sell' a product that if caught the attention of passengers. The journey towards the exit even think almost like at Changi International Airport.
When going to the city center, we chose to ride the bus as if riding the MRT, the price is 3x the price of the bus. There is no way the price, that's a saying that I often hear in Indonesia. The journey to the bus stop can be said far and the direction arrow just makes me a little dizzy. We had to ask for the information section where the bus was.
The journey to the city center by bus is very long. Takes about 1 hour. On the way I choose to enjoy the view of Kuala Lumpur. Very similar to Jakarta but several similar places like Bandung, Yogyakarta and several cities in Indonesia. Suddenly I was a little homesick Indonesia hahaha
I hear there are some Chinese descent talking about something, I could not hear clearly because my attention was not there. But some their conversations about SpeXial. Could it be that they want to come to fanmeeting too? Come on do not be prejudiced before.
When I got to the center of town, we were confused how to go to MRT from there. Because according to the map I brought, MRT is not far away but I realized if we were riding the bus that unloaded in basment and when we go down, there are any an old man I had thought was an officer who helps the tourists. It turned out that the old man was a taxi driver. He immediately took my suitcase for a ride to his car. As we were new to Malaysia so we are less familiar with what else from the airport we did not ride the MRT so... that's it.
I and others choose to take a taxi because our time are tight. I must admit that the old man by arbitrarily giving an expensive price for us but... let it be. During our trip was silent, no one spoke, only the old man who invites to chat.
Arriving at the hotel, there were tourists from Singapore. I think they are from Indonesia because their faces are similar to us. Come on all the faces of people of Southeast Asia was similar, do not be prejudiced! When I see their passports, I just know if they are Singaporeans.
After we checked in, we went straight to our room. Cleaned up and tidied myself to fanmeeting. I just change my clothes because I was afraid my clothes smell. Once finished, we went to the mall near the hotel. Fortunately, the hotel is close to a mall, so the matter of eating, we were not afraid.
We ate at the mall. Price arguably was again similar to the food in Jakarta. It is undeniable that the food in Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore is similar and the like scattered everywhere. During the meal, we discuss the mode of transportation to the venue as if seen quite far away. Finally we agreed to wear Grab. Incidentally Grab the already operate in Indonesia so we are not so 'innocent' to use their services.
When exiting the mall turned out the rain, the rain was not heavy, but that would ruin our makeup. The journey takes about 25 minutes. Arriving at the venue, we were dropped off at the back door. Although the back door but the back door is close to the highway.
When going down, I saw some people wearing name tag SpeXial "Boyz on Fire" Malaysia Fanmeeting. I think they are the organizers or manager SpeXial who were visiting Seven Eleven next event. When logging in to the building where the event, we were a bit confused where 'the location of the show'. There is lift and we saw a poster SpeXial "Boyz on Fire" Malaysia Fanmeeting and when read it turns out there on the 1st floor. When exiting the lift, we see of fans lined up. All fans brings 'armory' respectively. We also carry it was in our bags hehehe
We thought, we just lined up to go but it turned out we had to exchange the e-ticket to the organizers to be replaced wristbands. Finally, when we saw there was a table of the organizers, we direct there and scan our e-ticket barcodes. As we were scanning barcodes, one of the organizers told her friend in Chinese that is 3 VIPs and her friend had told me here in the Chinese. Because they speak in Chinese, so once I get my wristbands, I said thank you in Chinese.

| Fansite souvenirs |
Yeah I almost forgot, if the line for the VIP and Standards divided into so will not collide. We will go into the hall where the fan meeting takes place, the organizers asked me in Chinese if I bring drinking water, I did not, answer immediately in Chinese. When in fact I did bring drinking water! It looks like the organizers suspicious because I was carrying a backpack.

Soon there host out. He introduced himself that he is Singaporean. He was also speaking in Chinese. 2 of my friends do not understand what is being said so I tried to translate what he said to my friends. When finished speaking to the opening. It turns out there are 2 singers who are not familiar. They promotions and singing on stage. Very ruin my time that valuable to see SpeXial!
 |
| My prince charming, Sam Lin! |
I started to pull out a camera to take pictures and videos of him but all of a sudden a lot of fans who cover a lot of people with no politeness and put on the bench to look high and get a good photo. I think they are the fansite owners and I was disappointed in them!
Finally I just looked at them so far but still can not escape in the eye of the my prince charming who born in 93's. Indeed, I still do not believe it when I see him in person. Usually I only get to see him on the screen of my laptop or smartphone screen alone but this time I saw him in person! When they came out, they sang Boyz on Fire with the latest choreography cause 2 members can not participate in this fanmeeting.
After that, the host said that there are lucky fans were able to play with SpeXial with the proviso that the wristbands used to have blue, red and pink dots. One of my friends has a blue dot and I told her to immediately aside to tell the organizers that she was a lucky fans. But she panicked and said, how do I say to the organizers especially I could not speak Chinese at all. I just said that she must said blue color in Chinese while showing the wristbands and she finally left. Really! I was a bit disappointed not to get the chance~

| After showcase |
The first to advance to the stage are the standard ones. Because we are VIP so we had to wait until all the standard ticket holders finishes. When VIP going forward, my friends and I chose to go forward in advance so that when take picture together, we are first.
Before advancing, my friends and I agreed to introduce ourselves as a Indonesian fans because only the three of us who came from Indonesia. When will advance to the stage my hands very cold even heart beat faster. It felt like I would be executed. Not to forget I've set up a banner that I prepared beforehand. I originally thought that the earliest sitting Teddy but it turned out to Wayne.

When I got him, I greeted him and introduced myself as an Indonesian in Chinese, opening the banner that I carry. To be honest I forgot why I had to say in Chinese. Evan very smart in English. He's also a bit confused about where Indonesia is located. Poor us! He gave the postcard directly from his hand and I thanked in Chinese. I went straight from him. Due to this carelessness, Evan called me. Luckily I remembered and shook hands with him.
Dylan Xiong (熊梓淇 Xiong Zi Qi)
When I got him, I greeted him and introduced myself as an Indonesian in Chinese, opening the banner that I carry. He looked very touched. Either he knows Indonesia where or because it's first time participate fanmeeting outside Taiwan and China. He is one of two SpeXial new members.

| Sam postcard |
Sam Lin (林子閎 Lin Zi Hong)
Once I got in Brent, I know next to is Sam. If it is allowed to be honest, when I opened the banner I brought in Brent, Sam looks very curious with the banner which I show to Brent. He's always made me fall in love! As I headed him, he saw me with the details and smiling. I was in disbelief, greet him and introduce myself in Chinese. Indeed, I can see how he is near. I just wanted to say that he is very handsome! I also did not forget to show the banner that I carry. He only glimpsed. Of course, he already saw this when I was showing it to Brent. He gave the postcard directly from his hand and I immediately handshake with him. When the handshake, I inadvertently praised him by saying that today he looks very handsome in Chinese. Ok this is my mouth inadvertence. He smiled and thanked in Chinese and I would like to thank in Chinese. I even forgot if a handshake with him to wear the left hand -.-
Riley Wang (王以綸 Wang Yi Lun)
When I got him, I greeted him and introduced myself as an Indonesian in Chinese language, opening the the banner that I carry. I forgot that he and Evan are very smart in English, why do I have to used Chinese? Indeed, I completely forgot! I also forgot how the interaction between us. Huft. He gave the postcard directly from his hand and I immediately handshake with him. He thanked in Chinese and I thanked in Chinese.
Win (風田 Feng Tian)After completion meet and greet, we go down the stage. When I get off the organizers is already waiting at the bottom to cut one of our wristbands. The organizers who cut my wristbands said thank you in Chinese and I also replied thanks in Chinese.
He was the last person I met in this meet and greet. When I got him, I say hello and I forgot to introduce myself as Indonesia especially opening banner that I carry. Looks like effect met with Sam made all my plans were dashed. I do not know how to talk to Win because he is Japanese and his Chinese is not so good. I thought he is a member of the cutest and most friendly though indeed very few fans. Suddenly he thanked in Malay. I'm really surprised. Pronunciation so eloquently. As I told you earlier that the Malay and Indonesian was like so what he says it, I understood. Because I was shocked by what he said, I spontaneously said OMG! He laughed and repeated OMG! I just smiled. He gave the postcard directly from his hand and I immediately handshake with him smiling back while said your welcome in Indonesian.
Then we lined up for a photo session SpeXial therefore benefit from a VIP while after taking postcard, standard ticket holders must go home after got the postcard. I've also talked with some SXF Singapore and SXF Malaysia for a group with our current photo session later.
There are many who do not have a group for the photo session. As we were only 6 people. While required to be 10 people in 1 group for the photo session. Finally we mix with others and unfortunately I can not stand in front of Sam. Though I and one of my friends so idolized Sam and we agreed to share Sam. But... there who take our place. So... this hope was dashed.

| Our photo grup |
I was once standing between Wayne & Ian asks to swap places with my friend who both like Sam who stand between Evan & Wayne. She initially refused but I still insist. And it came sliding shift between me and my friend. Until I felt I stepped on someone shoes but I think it's Ian or Dylan. I'm a little guilty, but I do not apologize because I'm shy hehehe
When finished taking pictures, we decided to eat because if we force it to wait SpeXial ride bus to their hotel, our rest time will run out. Moreover, tomorrow we have to go back to Indonesia. We also sore foot feels. Useless back to the hotel if you have not eaten since the hotel does not provide food for us.
That glimpse of my story all I can share with you. Hope you like it. The essence of this fanmeeting is SpeXial practically very friendly. Although there are some members who really cares about the fans but broadly they are all friendly. Until this moment I still can not believe that I met with SpeXial, the most famous boyband in Taiwan! Oh yes, all who come to Malaysia fanmeeting, will get Dylan postcard while coming to Singapore fanmeeting will not be able to got~
