My FIRST time ever going for the Youtube Fan Fest, last Saturday. Youtube Fan Fest started in May 2013, where they brought famous Youtubers to Southeast Asia and other countries. Last two years, it was the Youtube Stars Concert where they invite mostly the musicians on Youtube to come to Singapore and perform. Last year, they invited more Youtubers that makes different kinds of video to come to Singapore. I still remember last year, they invited the amazing singers like Chester See, Sam Tsui, Kurt Schneider, the make-up guru like Bethany Mota and more... I didn't go for the event last year but i got to go this year!
I didn't have tickets to see any of the shows but, i saw some sources on Twitter saying that there will be a red carpet at the event itself which is located at Scape, Orchard. Since i didn't have any tickets, i decided to just go to the red carpet to get a glimpse of my favorite Youtuber, Bethany Mota (who does make-up tutorials, DIY's) and the rest of the Youtuber who is coming down for the event. Ryan Higa, Tyler Oakley, Troye Sivan, Xiaxue, Tosh Rock and more other Youtubers from Singapore and other countries were also there for the event.
Here's me taking picture at the red carpet with the larger than life poster of the Youtube Fan Fest.
(The weather was extremely hot that day so that explains why i didn't bother to dress up because i know i'm going to sweat a lot while waiting.)
I took part in some of the contest to win the Meet And Greet with Bethany Mota by HP Singapore. But sadly, i didn't win the Meet and Greet but...(stay tuned)
The 3pm show ended at 5pm and so that's when all the Youtuber will walk down the red carpet and meet all their fans that are waiting for them by the barriers near the red carpet. I saw Munah and Hirzi right infront of my eyes. I didn't bother to go to the front because i couldn't stand the pushing and pulling from the other fans so i stood at the back and just watched from afar. I only came to the front when Bethany was walking around signing autographs and taking pictures and i managed to snap some pictures of her and the rest of the Youtubers walking down the red carpet.
To cut it short, there was a surprise visit by Black Eyed Peas. The stars only got 15 minutes to walk down the red carpet before the next show. I waited till 7pm just to know who will win the Meet and Greet. They needed 100 people to do a simple video and so i ran and took part and I WON THE TICKET TO THE 8pm show on that day but.. i only got one so i couldn't go because i can't leave my cousin alone because he accompanied me for the whole day.
I had an idea. I decided to give away my ticket to someone who is really a fan of Bethany and must totally deserve it. There's this girl who won a Meet and Greet and she said that she is willing to trade for a ticket and so yeap, i did trade my ticket with her for a MEET AND GREET WITH BETH! I shall share about the experience soon, when i have the time (if i remember, haha)
This event is nothing compared to the F1 Closing Concert last year where i waited 8 hours under the hot sun just to see my babe, Justin Bieber. But, it was all worth it!
I hope to see more of this event being held in Singapore but the location seriously needs to be changed. A special thanks to my cousin who spent the whole day waiting for me and wasting his time for me to see my stars. Thanks!
Hope you enjoyed this post!
Love,
