I found myself at Geylang East Library again on Sunday, just when I thought I'd never visit it again - if you recall, this was where I'd went out of my way to borrow a Christine Feehan book - but something got me there again, the New Moon Festa, organised by Twilight Singapore.
I came an hour earlier though for the New Moon book discussion - as if I could pass on that! It was a rather small group and I dare say I did a LOT of talking. Someone thought some of my comments were quite deep, LOL, and I could see some of the tangents were those that they have not thought of before. And of course, I defended everyone from Bella to Edward to Jacob. Charlie was even mentioned too.
When I registered, I got a stamp on my hand, LOL. I'm not normally a participant of an event where that happens so thought it a novelty! Yeh yeh, I lead a boring existence! =)
They had three posters of the movie up, the Volturis, the Cullens and the Quileutes. Lots of us couldn't resist posing with them, myself included. Oh, did I mention it was a masquerade-themed event? Here are some pics from the event.
Boo! Guess who?!
Three of the five gals that make up Twilight Singapore
I was feeling really sympathetic of Marcus
Some gals I met during the book discussion
We started with a viewing of all the Singapore version of the trailers. Talk about being spoilt! I'd not seen any trailer in the cinema at all and then to be treated to all of them in one night, wow! They also showed the interview that the local Channel 5 managed to get at the press junket with Rob and Kristen - Rob had a special thank you for Singapore fans, apparently he gets a lot of cards and such from fans in Singapore.
We also had a whole lot of events from guessing the characters, lines from the books, guessing the actors/actresses (their pics were distorted), and guessing the titles of the distorted songs played. But the last event was where three pairs enacted the breakup scene. They did this wonderfully though one particular girl did Edward so well, I actually got choked up!
The amazing Edward on the right, they won too.
Oh, did I mention that I won quite a few prizes? I gave the right answers for Gianna in the Characters category, Michael Sheen and Tyson Houseman in the Actors category and Friends by Band of Skulls in the Soundtrack category. Oh incidentally, I corrected them on Tyson's name. They thought it was Tyler, ha ha! Frankly, I did not expect to win anything at all. I was thrilled when I won the first item and was over the moon at the end of my fourth win!
My prizes - a bookmark of Bella, a magnetic set, three key chains and drum roll please.... four tickets to the Gala Premiere to take place this coming Wednesday, 25 November 2009! I didn't even know they have gala premieres here! I'd already got tickets for the Twilight/New Moon marathon organised by the same group on 1 December but now I get to watch it even earlier! I am beyond stoked! The four new friends that I posed with also won tickets to the Gala Premiere. More importantly, it won't be as long before I get to gush about the movie with my TA friends!
The New Moon merchandise are awesome as well. I go from zero merchandise to a few in one evening! Awesome! By the way, just to show that the spirit of Twilighters is also evident in Singapore. I gave an answer to one of the girls and another gave me an answer for the quizzes! Twilighters rock for sure!
We also got posters as door gifts. How awesome that I got one each of my favourite couple! I understand there were different ones, I overheard someone saying she'd got Jacob's poster.
And that Bella bookmark seemed to have been tailored for me. Look at what's at the back!
Definitely a fun-filled event! I'm so glad I went! Oh I mentioned TA quite a bit so let's see if we get some new members too!
