My Westlifer Story

Hey Westlifers… Can’t wait for the countdown?? Me too….. This year, 2011 have been an amazing & incredible year for me. I have so many sweet & unforgettable memories. This is the year where I bought my first car, bought two handphones & starting to pay my car installments. #thatgivesmeheadache to be honest *phew

So, how’s it gonna be like in 2012?? Never want to think of it rite now. But there's something I want to share. It's not Westlife story but my Westlifer story.

I've been their biggest fan since I was 12 and their first song I listened to is Flying Without Wings, when I was 10. I still remember I just arrived home from school & my dad was watching NTV7 which at that hour, they were playing Music Videos. Mark was singing when I just step into my house. But I was just a kid & never missed to watch cartoon that time. Yeah I still watching Sailormoon, every weekend #lol

Then again Westlife was on telly. I think I was 12 when I first listened to I Lay My Love On You in TV2 and I had a crush with Brian. That is when I started to be Westlife fanatic fan. My day is all about Westlife Westlife Westlife. It was like I lived my life for them. Gosh how stupid I feel right now. Poor all my friends, they had to listen when I brag about Westlife and my songs book, always tahe em with me wherever I go



I went shopping with my mom one day and I saw Westlife Coast To Coast album. So I asked my mom to bought it for me but she doesn't want to. I was so angry & sad. A couple of days later, we went there again but this time my dad is coming too. I told him mom doesn't want to bought me Westlife album. And u know what my dad said? He said “Where's the album?” So we went to Friendly Record because they put Westlife poster in entrance. And yeay!!! I got my first Westlife album.

Since then I've been buying all Westlife album including their concert DVD too. I use my weekly pocket money that my dad gave. Mom was very angry with me but until she watch Westlife in NTV7 for Greatest Hits promo & Soccer Match with Malaysian Rockers, she liked them too especially their song, Soledad. That is when I started to like Mark, becoz Brian has married to Kerry. So, I choose a single guy to be my dream guy. #wink

Back to my Westlife songs book collection. It's not just their songs collection in it but their news from news paper, tabloid, magazine & their pix too. When I heard my school is having sport check. I was panicked. I don't know where to hide my book & I took a very risk chance & silly too. I hide it in a dustbin at the back of our class. Lucky the dustbin is not so dirty buy fulled with papers. So the book is hard to be seen. And the teachers didn't look at the dustbin. I mean check. And why the hell teachers want to make a sport check to a dustbin, rite?

I was too fanatic with Mark & sometimes I think he's my boyfriend. Pity my boyfriend at that time. Hurm, but our relationship only last for 2 months. I've got an offered to go board school & my friends told me to go. They all said, this will heal me from Westlife ‘virus’. And they are true. I was busy study & slowly I've started to forget a little bit about Westlife. And their last album that I bought is Allow Us To Be Frank before I went to board school. Until one day, my BFF, who are also in board school with me but in different course find me and show me a magazine and say “Look, your boyfriend is a gay”. She means Mark. I was crying that nite. That's it. I've froget about Mark & Westlife after my first year in board school.

I've know nothing about their latest album or news. Finally I;m going to polytechnic. I don't know why, but when I'm 19, I visit Westlife website & watching their video Us Against The World. And Westlife ‘virus’ has attacked me once again. From that video, I've know that Shane has a daughter & Nicky has twins. But most important is, Mark still looks the same. And one of my housemates asking me “Don't u have any videos to watch? It's always Westlife”. I responsed to her “I like. What do u care?”

I might missed their latest album & songs, but it doesn't stop me from find their songs & download all of it. After I’ve graduate, I’m giving more focus in work & rarely surf internet. I have a Facebook & Twitter but I’m not a Facebooker nor Twitterazzi until I’ve resigned from my former company & working in other field a month after that. My job was easy & I’ve nothing much to do. I’m getting bored with MySpace & Tagged so I’ve become more active in Facebook & Twitter. And that’s where my Westlife ‘virus’ have be more serious.

During my teenager's life, I don't have a laptop or internet at home. So my friend and I will go to cyber cafe at our school for hours and we never miss to visit Westlife website.

I still remember when my friends and I have our own collection books, and we always change our books and borrowing each others CD. This moment is funny, I always laugh myself when I remember this. I've been scold by my history's teacher coz I'm singing Westlife's song in her class. And my classmate who is sitting in front of me. She said "Stop singing!! I want to study!!"

How can I forget all this..? Westlife have make my high school life wonderful & crazy..! I can't imagine to live in a world without their new songs in the future, but yet I still have to respect their decisions. After a great years they have make my life are.

Well, I’m really grateful that I’ve a chance to meet my new friends in Facebook & of course u all crazy like me too. Everyday keep talking about Westlife Westlife Westlfe. And one our friend design a t-shirt to wear to Westlife Gravity Tour in KL. We don’t know each other but when we arrived there, the feeling is like an old friends who haven’t met for years. We took picture together, but we don’t even know what’s the name of the guy who help us to took a picture. What we know is, we’re having so much fun eventhough we bought different tix. And thx to the girl who design Westlife t-shirt. 

Special thing about Westlife is, they're not just a band but they have united us (fans) as a family. Becoz of them, we (fans) become a good friends & we’re like a sisters & brothers now. I even make a medley video of Westlife.

Malaysian Westlifer group. Malaysian Westlifer group. This is where I met Ara & her sister, Sury and we become friends till now. If Ara didn’t invite me to sleep at her house & offer to help me buy tix, maybe I won’t be going to Westlife Concert. Thanks a lot babe!!

I’m still keeping the news sheet about Westlife are coming back to Malaysia. It’s in my laptop’s beg & I took it everywhere. I’m getting crazy on how I’ll go & watch their concert. My friend, What wants to come along but her father & boyfriend are not allowed her to go. It breaks my heart. I’ve no idea how am I going there. But thanks to Ara. She offered to help me buy the tix & sleep at her house for a nite. Thanks babe!!! U’re one of he person who makes my dream comes true & thanks to my parents also for take me to KL & KLIA just to wait for Westlife before they went to Korea.

And that’s where I met Kylie. Who would ever thought that she managed to take pic with each of them on the arrival. We’re too excited waiting for Westlife in KLIA and Kylie meet two guards asking them which gate are often been using by VIP or international celebrity. The guards are getting blur. They don’t even know that Westlife are coming. He asks his friend “Did Westlife come here?”. We told them again, that during the arrival, they don’t use arrival gates, but they come out from departure gates.

But most of the fans are waiting for them in Hilton. To see them closely for the last time. My friends, Shasha text me about their status. And she told me their flight to Korea are delayed to 10-11 pm. I can’t wait there any longer. I’ve to go home. So, I leave KLIA while Kylie, Ara & Suri waiting for them. I feel so sad. I’ve been waiting there since 6 pm coz I’ve found out that their flight to Korea is at 8.30 pm.

And for the fans who are waiting in Hilton are in different situation. Some of them are luck & some of them are not. Shasha told me, the Indian guy told them that they’re allowed to take pic with the lads if them didn’t make any noise or chaos. But it turn out differently. The Indian guy has lied to them.

Tomorrow morning, I text Kylie how is their waiting. And she said it’s worth. After I went home, they met with another Westlifer. During the waiting, there’s no Westlifer either the three of them, but when Westlifer arrived, the fans just came out of no where. I’ve told her, I can’t sleep that nite. I keep thinking of them.

And Kiki, I still remember how we met. We met in Shane’s facebook & we really did have a chat with him. And he does reply us. I still remember about the day. It was morning in Dublin & Shane is waiting for the lads & crew for a meeting. Later on, I visit Shane’s profile again & the meeting is actually at 9 am not 8 am but Nina has to lie to them. Coz if she say the meeting is at 9 am, the lads will never come early to office. But in the end, they’re still comes late to the meeting & Shane’s waiting alone.

I guess we have to thank Nina for lie to them. If not, Shane would never waste his time by online in Facebook. Maybe he never reply my tweet but at least he asking my question in Facebook. That’s where I met Kiki.

*I’m not sure if that is the real Shane Filan or not but I believe it is him because Nina was in his friend list & they’ve chat so many times.

And to the other friends like Bebe, I don’t remember how we met but u’re a true friend hun!! Other Westlifers, no heart feelings okay. There’s a funny incident when I’m always chat with Shasha in Facebook and when we’re in the concert too. But we actually already met!! That’s funny, isn’t it?? I didn’t notice it until one day Ara upload our picture & Shasha comment the picture. I still didn’t realize that was her & I visit her profile & when I’m look at her picture, them I’m asking myself “I think I’ve met her before, but where?” I'm asking her about the incident which her boyfriend park his scooter near the stairs of the entrance.

And Liza, I never met her too but finally we met during the concert. She talks to me first. Me, Ara, Sury & Liza bought our merchandise together & she be our guard when we want to change to Westlife t-shirt.

Not long after that, maybe 2 weeks later, there’s a rumor about the splitting we all thought it wasn’t true until one morning Anis SMS me about it. I was in office at the time. I’m check my Facebook & in my newsfeed & group, Malaysian Westlifers, there’s news about Westlife splitting. I was so shocked! I feel like wanna cry at the time but I can’t even if I want to. Sigh.

*U know what I feel? I feel like I’ve just be dumped by someone I really love.

It took me about 2 weeks to recovered & our group are so quiet. Maybe they want to chill themselves first. I’m ok now until yesterday Westlife last Music Video is released, Beautiful World. Shane tweet that we should standby our tissue & Brian tweet he loves the video, so many memories are in it. Don’t know what he felt about Westlife splitting. Hurm

They’re not splitting yet, still have another 6 months before the last farewell in June 2012, probably they’ll closing down Westlife in Croke Park.

*No more the word WESTLIFE in news paper, magazine or media.~ Sigh.

I believe that we all are still ok because the final day is not come yet. What if the final day is getting closer & it finally ‘the day’? How will our response could be? How do we gonna live our life without the word WESTLIFE in magazine & news paper?

Yet, I still respect their decision. Because I’m a true Westlifer. They’ve light up my life since the day I know about their presence. The day that they always cheer my life when I’m sad & down. And because of them, I’ve met so many new friends and become good friends till now.

Thank you Westlife. You guys not just break music world, but you guys have break our heart & managed to get a special place in our heart [besides our parents]. You guys have become a history for the only longer lasting BOYBAND & finally transformed to be ‘MANBAND’.

Plus, they’ve prove to the world that they’re not just a band with good looking faces, but they’re talented. This is my fave statement from Attitude magazine interview of Mark & Kevin. “The fab 4 is the type of guy that every mom in the world would like to make them as son in law”.

Our life in future might be a little bit weird but that’ll never stop us from stalking u guys in Twitter. Plus, Westlife is like a part of my family now. U guys are not easily to be forgotten.

Thank you guys, for appear in our life & be our spirit whenever we fall down & give up. Westlife songs will always be our priority to begin our day & gives us spirit to keep going with our life.

#If u guys read  my blog [who knows, perhaps?] I just want to say good luck & enjoy the times u’ll have with your family. And keep tweet tweet~ Luv ya.

This is a vid that I want to share. There’s a reason why I’m choosing this video. It’s about friendship, family & love. We’ve become a good friends because of Westlife & I hope this friendship will last forever. Brian leave Westlife because of family, he wants to spend more time with his family. Now the same thing happen to Shane & Nicky. Their kids are going to school & they don’t want to be apart from their family & missed to watch their kids grow. Kian just be a daddy, of course having a new family member will make him miss his family so much if he’s away on tour. Mark is going to build his own family with Kev. And he has our support & love.

*Plus, this tour has create history for be the only boyband tour has be played in HBO Channel.

*Thank you guys for reading & sharing my blog. U guys not just reading but u've share my feeling too. When u feel happy & crazy reading my blog, it means I am happy & crazy when I'm writing. But if u feel sad & wanna cry, it means I'm in the same mood too when writing. Like I said in my previous post, my blog is my second BFF.~

[When I’m writing this post, it is 16^th Dec 2011 but it’s not the right time to upload it. When u all finally read it in my blog, that means it is the right time to upload & share it here.]
