I went to receive 911 at the airport and at their hotel, Ritz Carlton. It's dead posh and all those securities are dead horrible. He does not dare to holler at us but he's really fierce. Here goes...
i reached the Airport at 7.20a.m. 4 June 1998.911 was supposed to arrive at 8.05a.m.(guess i was too early!!) They arrived on BA11 and surprisingly Boyzone was with them!! Lee was really playful and knocked his knees against someone(his friend or whatever) and pretended to fall, while me and the other fans were still waiting outside Belt 23. (The same as when they came last year in May!) Boyzone smiled and then rolled off with their luggage.
911 was much nicer, Lee, Jimmy and Spike came out to talk, shake hands and hug all of us! They were real gorgeous and Jimmy looks much better and more handsome than in photos (nice brown locks)!! Lee was wearing his sunglasses but he's gorgeous (lucky he chopped off the back if not he'd look horrible like in All I Want Is You). Spike looks very much the same on TV though a little smaller. I shook Lee's and Spike's hands (It was me first encounter and i didn't dare hug them but i'll make sure i'll give them a good hug and many kisses when they return in August!)
Lee then went up the bus. He sat at the corner of the bus,while we spoke to him through the window. He told us he was staying at the Ritz Carlton. when a girl said that it was her birthday he said happy birthday to her. (they all bluffed) Then another said that her's was next saturday, he said happy birthday to her too. She told him that she was 21 and Lee than said he was 45! He's a gorgeous old daddy!(ha!ha!) Jimmy then proceeded to kiss the window while he was in the bus. It was a real wet one, all hot,steamy and slimy. Though most of the fans was just excited about Lee, Jimmy and Spike waved to the fans too when their names were called. The bus than drove off!
On saturday(6th June) me and my friend went to the Ritz! It was so hard to get pass the securities. We tried to dress properly and my friend was a little nervous but i wasn't afraid. (not that i was brave, but that i've been to posh hotels before and i think there's nothing to worry about, being nervous just gives you away.) we kept walking about while about 20 fans were waiting outside the hotel. We were real lucky to get in! Though i guess they suspected that we were one of the fans, but they had no proof so they couldn't chase us out! It was after we walked miles and miles around the hotel that we decided to stay put in the lobby! You can't imagine the amount of managers and securities there!
My friend then spotted Jimmy. We went over to him. He was talking on his handphone and ended his conversation before we approached him for an autograph. obviously we were spotted by the manager and he moved towards us, he was real fierce (if he was a dog he would be ferocius ha!ha!) Nah, but i know he's just doing his job. But when Jimmy started to sign our single he stopped moving and Jimmy asked my friend how old she was (but she didn't answer. i guess she was nervous or didn't understand) after we had the autograph, he (the manger not Jimmy!) promptly invited us out. (mean guy!) We went out, together to wait with the 20 over girls. I met my old primary school friend who skipped classes to wait for them, she said Lee was the nicest and the most obliging and even bit her pen cap! She said that mean manager (same guy) hollered at her cos she wore her school uniform (she shouldn't have though).
She said that Lee told the fans that they would be out at 2p.m. but it was already 2.30pm! Actually Lee is the nice one giving away all the info like where they are going when they are appearing! Nice n' gorgeous guy- a perfect combination! Soon Lee and the guys appeared together from the centre with the usual people around them. They were swarmed by fans but did not leave until signing a few autographs and receiving many hugs and kisses! I did not manage to squeeze through though! I was near but not next to him! i reckon i was much closer and the situation more civilised at the airport. He was wearing this beach like shirt and was dead gorgeous without his sunglasses! His eyes were so lovely!! It's all nice and blue you just want to look into it! A man then said to the girls" The boys have to go now!" Jimmy went up the bus first then Spike and later Lee who was trying to give every fan an autograph and hug they wanted.
He sat at the same corner again. (guess he love it) But i felt that it was probably cos' he felt lonely, in my opinion though, only lonely people stayed in corners. The bus then drove off while tons of fans hugged onto the bus while a man laughed and said jokingly," Careful! You might land up in the hospital!" Though i didn't send them off my friend did and she hugged Lee (awww) though she was afraid at first! ( i reckon she should have given him a full on snog, that will make him remember her!) Lee told the fans that they will be back in 2 and a half months time!(hurray!)
