What happened in Singapore?

Well, after the Malaysia concert the guys flew to Singapore the NEXT morning for an autograph signing event, they visited the Down Syndrome Association and they had a fan meet at St. James Powerhouse... all these in just one day.. its sad to know that the autograph session was cut short because of the other commitments.. and there were news on how it turned out.. so, here's some accounts/ excerpts from the fans that were in there..

"I was one of the few who didnt get the autographs coz of the time constraint.
At 7.45pm, the H.I.M representatives said they had to stop the autograph session. A lot of fans screamed and cried, esp those just behind the barricade in front of the stage. I was half row behind but I could see what happened. H.I.M reps did not know what to do and said "Ya Lun's stomach is very painful etc etc".I saw that indeed he was using the table to support himself.After that I saw Chun discuss with the HIM rep(a woman), and they looked like they were arguing, the woman was very fierce to Chun.In the end they decided to change to a Handshake session.Then around this time, another H.I.M rep (a man) emphasized about Aaron's painful stomach again. Aaron Shouted back at him "Bu Yao Ba Wo Dang Dang Jian Pai" (Dont Use me as an Excuse!).I was shocked at that but then it confirmed my doubts about it. Obviously H.I.M screwed the whole timing up by squeezing the events too closely to each other, and now the boys cannot sign finish, H.I.M trying to find excuses to protect their own dignity and Face. And they used Aaron as an excuse. Yes his stomach was painful but it was obvious that if they had no Powerhouse event after that, Aaron would have insisted to finish signing all! During the handshake session, All of them said Sorry and Aaron kept bowing to all those who went up to shake his hand....

Actually.... I wasn't in that 'torture zone' at IMM garden plaza but I know how it's like....
(Somehow it became a blessing in disguise that I wasn't in there being squeezed like a canned sardine even though I was a little disappointed that I couldn't meet Chun close up)
They thought that by sealing off the area they can prevent people from cutting queue.LIKE REAL. Inside the barricade was another war zone altogether.People were pushing and cutting queue INSIDE the barricade.And those in the barricade were told to STAY INSIDE. No entering and exiting since 2pm.And that's why there were fans who fainted.
Can you imagine.... you are worse than a prisoner. You can't even go to toilet because it's so inconvenient to squeeze out of the crowd and back in again. So what to do? You are trapped there.so eat less and drink less. And for so many hours.

and H.I.M Singapore's statement

i actually feel bad for FRH and the fans too.. they're just both victims in these poorly planned event.. but i think that they do understand why there's a rush of emotions from the fans, and they do know that the fans were not upset about FRH but how the event went.. imagine being there for hours, and it rained too.. some of them were wet, hungry and some came straight from Malaysia.. I just thought, us being on the other side of the world, this can give us a perspective on what happened, coming from first-hand experiences of the fans in there..

Holy crum, wow. That's ... hideous. I can't believe HIM planned the events that poorly, even endangering the fans and FRH themselves. Yet another case of loving Ya Lun more and more; I'm very glad he stood up to them and made them take ownership of their own horrible mistake. And then again, I really don't think they should let that many people into events if that's the way it gets. I know it may not be very fair, but safety is more important (yes, even more than meeting Fahrenheit). No one should have to feel like a prisoner when they're there to try and have fun and meet their idols.

oh my gosh! thats crazy....seriously this isn't first time HIM has messed up either! poor FRH and the fans....i wish HIM will plan better in the future and if they make a mistake to not use FRH as an excuse but rather apologize for their mistake and somehow make it up later...
