AARON BUCKINGHAM (V)

'CAN YOU FEEL IT?'

YES I CAN!! after what seems to be almost a decade of going crazy over one of my favourite boybands, V, i have finally met one-fifth of the band!!

AARON BUCKINGHAM is currently the manager of 4-piece pop/rock band, LAWSON, who is in town as part of their Asian promo your before hitting kangaroo/koala land.

obviously my main aim of trying to see them when they are here was to meet the manager, AARON!!

and so i did and it was really, really fun.

i did meet all five of them (LAWSON + AARON i.e) but i just had to get my priorities right ha ha

the band + manager + crew got off the bus shortly after touching down on our soil and we greeted them before a very semi-tired, semi-drunk AARON spotted what i was holding and pointed in my direction and shouted, "V!!"

guess what i did? i walked past the band and went straight to AARON, being absolutely oblivious to the four - OOPS!!

and then i started blabbering non stop.

AARON asked for my name as he signed on my album and singles, and mentioned 'i don't recall we released that much stuff!!' and also apologised that 'the rest of the boys aren't here with me on this trip, maybe next time'.

and i made him promise, and in reply, he said 'yeah, when we, hopefully, do a reunion tour, we'd come to Asia' - AWWW!!

THAT'S NOT ALL - and as all these craziness was going on, one of the members of LAWSON, whipped out his mobile phone and started taking photos of AARON, the V album + singles and i and made sure he's got a good shot before he made his departure from us even though AARON exclaimed 'GET OFF US!' a few times HA HA!!

he also asked if V was big in Singapore then, i had to be honest and said 'no, not really'

he was quick to come back with 'ahhh so it's just you?' and a giggle ha ha

i then explained that my ex bought the album for me after we broke up because i won't stop talking about the YOU STOOD UP performance on TOP OF THE POPS with them in the shower and then we both laughed and he said 'yeah you liked that didn't you?' HA HA!! DUHHHHHH!!

and so after he made sure he signed everything, i asked for some photos for i was greedy and only one, was clearly not enough.. HA HA!! :P

here's two more with me removing my glasses which he said 'yeah i do that sometimes', also declaring that he was as vain as me.. HA HA!!
before we bid goodbye and goodnight, AARON said 'it was really nice to meet you, Daniel and im sorry if it's a little messy as i haven't really signed autographs in a long, long time' - HOW SWEET IS HE?!?

i look forward to meeting him as many times as i can on this trip ha ha :P

meanwhile, here's what he's signed for me during that 'one-to-one meet and greet' with AARON BUCKINGHAM :P
and now i got my eyes set on LEON PISANI, MARK HARLE, KEVIN MCDAID and ANTONY BRANT now to get my album and singles completely signed heh

also, please, Please, PLEASE, make that reunion a reality..

here's leaving you with some pictures of me in awe.. :P
