It was one of the largest turnout of fans in recent years at today’s ‘The Little Nyonya’ one and only outdoor event at Compass Point. I estimated between 4,000-5,000 people filled up every imaginable space left at Compass Point…every floor, every corner and every escalator (they were stopped momentarily and were filled with fans). Host Ben Yeo even joked that the turnout made them all felt like ‘superstars’ (you all are dear). The last time when there was such a massive response to an event was during the peak period of 绝对SuperStar (season one batch of Kelvin Tan Wei Lian, Kelly Poon, Derrick Hoh Wei Jian and Chew Sin Huey)…And the tiles of Compass Point cracked and popping out as a result of the massive turnout and the overly-excited crowd!
The crowd was still manageable when they first arrived with some pushing and shoving but it ran amok when they were leaving…maybe they were reluctant to see the stars leaving…and wanted a 'last bit of them'…
One of my female colleagues (there were a few of them from both Promo, Airtime Sales and Artiste’s Management Unit) who escorted the first batch of stars including Pan Ling Ling, Cynthia Koh and Eelyn Kok came back to the waiting room with teary eyes…she was shocked and never expected the audience (children, teens, men, women, aunties, uncles) to grab, hug and grope the artistes. She was shocked beyond words and looking really frightened as she feared their modesty might be violated as she suspected there might be 咸猪手乘乱出手amidst the chaos…
Immediately after Jeanette walked straight out from the waiting room into the crowd, the grabbing, groping and pulling started…she almost lost her balance and fell into the hysterical crowd but her manager (who is quite a muscular one), pulled her back and ‘wrapped’ her safely in her embrace (don’t play play with her two muscular arms) and they both forced their way through…as for me, I was already swallowed up by the crowd behind me (I was supposed to block them from surging forward) and I didn’t even manage to last another minute as a ‘bodyguard’… I hope those who pulled, grabbed and groped were just fans simply out of their love for the stars and not some 咸猪手 as we were not able to nail down the 'wolves amongst the sheeps'...
I better advise the Producer behind the next show ‘8频道跨年派对Channel 8 Countdown Party’ (at Vivo City and telecast LIVE on 31 Dec at 10.30pm) to put in extra security guards as the main leading stars of ‘The Little Nyonya’ (Jeanette Aw, Dai Yang Tian, Qi Yu Wu and many others) will be appearing…
By the way, the top 3 stars with the loudest cheers at Compass Point today were as followed (in order of loudness):
1. Jeanette Aw
2. Qi Yu Wu
3. Dai Yang Tian

I am one of Jeanette Aw's fan too but my blog never wrote this because I don't want people to know me. You got go to the “唯一影迷会“ right? The little girl (xiao yueniang) is quite cute actually. I had forgotten about the “唯一影迷会" and when my father called me for the news that show the “唯一影迷会" then I remember.
