NooOooOOOOoooOOOooOOOOooooo!!!

So, some time last night, Miss Tan and I decided to make Ah Boy's dream come true. We did all our research in one night.

"Research" in this context included checking out when the event was happening, where, what time, how to kau tim the transport, how to kau tim the accommodation, and also including interrogating Ah Boy to see his pre-reaction to the idea.

Well, if he was dead set on NOT going even if we literally stuffed it down his throat, it'd be waste of good money. So we tested the waters, attracting a huge sacrifice from my lou po zhai. One which I am now going to sincerely show gratitude for right here. =)

Okay, so we had it all planned. Bought the concert ticket, bought the bus ticket, found a tentative place to crash for the night. And we're set!

So Miss Tan and I braved the cold to walk the journey to Capital Tower to hand him his way-too-early-twenty-first gift.

When we reached, we couldn't get up cause no one answered our incessant bell ringing. So I called Shawn and his very sleepy voice assured me he was "sleeping" though he claims he wasn't. So he beeped us up, and then we heard noises from the shower. Ah Boy was taking his shower!

So Miss Tan and I decided to hide in his room. I told her, later if he come in naked leh how? But she says, he won't be so insane lah.

And Murphy's Law proves itself right again, when he comes out of the shower, draped in nothing but a towel. When we greeted him with a "HI!", I can bet he nearly jumped out of his skin! And then he shooed us out of his room whilst he got dressed.

And then, the ceremonious event began.
(Here I shall just word out the entire conversation, the actual video can be found elsewhere in time, and I will lead you to it when it is up. Currently, there is only a sneak preview there, starring *drumroll* ME!)

Miss Tan: We came here to deliver you a letter.
Ah Boy: What's that?
M: Letter, our sincere letter. Love letter.
A: Should I read it?
M: *nods* Yes.
Xin: (shouts) YES!

X & M snickers while A opens envelope.

A: OH MY GOD! NOO! NO WAY! NO! NO! NO! NO! I'm not going! I'm not going! I got exam! I got FRC! I cannot go! I cannot go! You all don't go with me I cannot go! I cannot go! I cannot go!
M: Read on, there's a letter.
X: It's a letter!

A opens up the paper that comes with the ticket.

A: NOOOO! I CANNOT GO! Wey, I cannot go! I cannot go! I cannot go!!
M: Cannot cannot go!
A: Where?
M: Xin will be going with you.

A screams.

M: But...(in a very sad tone) you are going to the concert alone, unfortunately.
A: Oh. Then why don't..NOOOO!
M: Because we can only afford a ticket and then we know that you wanted to watch....
A: NOOO! How to go? Cannot!! Then tomorrow have to study already! OH NOOOOOO!!! AAAHHHHHH!!!! I CANNOT GO I CANNOT GO HOW DO I GO!!
M: You will go and then you will stay over at some place for the night.
A: Can't I come back on the same night?
M & X: No bus.
A: Why no bus? NOOO! NOOO! That AHHHH!!! What?? NOOOOOO!!! NOOOO!!! NOOO!!! But it's under Xin Yi Tan, I cannot go.
M: Can, we checked already.
X: Yup I asked.
A: Noooo I cannot go!! Is this for my birthday?
M & X: Yaaaaa...!

M: Ya...
A: Straightaway study the whole night! OH MY GOD!
M: You said you will stay up the whole night what..
X: You said you will stay up a few nights.
A: No need lah, I don't want to stay overnight lah.
M: Then you walk back ah?

A does some action with his legs, like fidgeting his legs, like Teletubbies.

A: Xin you no need to go with me lah.
X: Oh too bad cannot.
A: Then we stay at Rachel's? I'll find a nice accommodation for us. I'll pay.
X: No.
A: No, yes yes yes I I I want I want, I'm going to find NOOOOOO!!!! DON'T!! I'M WEARING THIS XIN GO AWAY!! OH MY GOD!! I'M GOING TO WATCH CELINE DION! CANNOT! I GOT EXAM THEN HOW?

(I filmed this on video, that's why he told me to go away, and how I got all the precise words, I do NOT have such a good memory ya.)

M: I asked you all the questions that I have to ask already you know.
A: NOOOOOOOO!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOO! WHAT THE HELL WHAT THE HELL! Is it from you the both of you all only?
M & X: No.
A: Oh fun five also ah?
M: No.
X: And a lot of other people.
A: Who else?? I need to thank them.
M: We will finalise the list and then we'll pass it to you.
A: OH MY GOD! NOOOOOOOOOOO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! It's not for me!!!
M: Yes it's for you.

A: That one cause I...
X: And the part where you say "BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY"
A: But I go alone, like not nice wan...
M: No oo...

Phone rings. Chia Pei calling.

A: Eh, who's calling?

A walks to table to get phone, picks up phone.

A: Hello. NOOOOOOOOO!!!

Due to the limited space in the room, he proceeds to move on from his Teletubbies-leg-fidgeting to smelling his dirty pants to test that he's not dreaming. - courtesy of our narrator, Miss Tan.

A: AHHHHH!! I'M GOING SYDNEY ON...(hyperventilates) AHHHHHH!!! I DON'T WANT TO WATCH ALONE....AAAHHHHHHH!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! (more hyperventilating) NO NO NO NO NO NO NO HOW AHHH NO NO NO YOU ALL CANNOT NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO (hyperventilating)

A runs to computer and frivolously types on it. From a zoom-in by the camera, we can see that he's telling his friend, who attended the concert last night. A continues to hyperventilate.

A: I CANNOT I CANNOT I CANNOT I CANNOT I CANNOT. CANNOT CANNOT CANNOT CANNOT. CANNOT. I CANNOT I CANNOT. I CANNOT GO!
M: Can, you see, you already said I'M GOING TO SEE CELINE DION YEAAA! You just have to burn midnight oil and then I will provide you all the pao sum that you need to stay awake for the next few days.
A: AHHHHHHHHH!!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! OH MY GODDD!! I'm watching alone I don't want to watch alone. I don't know how to react. I'll buy for you Xin, I'm going to buy for you.
X: No! You gila! I don't want!
A: I'm going to buy for you. I'm going to buy for you. I'm going to buy for you.
X: Noo. For whaaat??
A: It's okay it's okay!
X: I don't want?
A: It's just for one day.
X: But there's no seat!
A: *silence* You just sit somewhere near so that I got memories to share.
X: I chose one very far seat, like all the seats are taken already wan.
A: NOOOOO!! HOW!! I GOT EXAM ON MONDAY! I'm sure I'll accommodate it right.
X: (to M) I think this video right, people think we take one scene, then keep repeating it again and again.
M: Ya, cause he keeps saying NOOO right.

X becomes hysterical and acts out a AhBoy-wannabe scene. - this can be seen here.

A: AAAAHHHHHH!!!! WHY YOU ALL ALWAYS SURPRISE ME WHEN I'M DRESSED LIKE THAT??

and then it shall be hung there, for the camera ran out of battery.
Now, you might be fooled as to this scene being a 3-hour-LOTR-trilogy-length video clip, but it's just 8 minutes and 21 seconds long. REALLY.

So now that you've viewed the transcript of the video, when it's up somewhere on the web, you can really view it, and then you can count my number of NOOOOO!!! and OH MY GOD!!s and you can tell me if I've missed out any.
