the day I met ...JESSICA ALBA!!!!

I know blogging 3 times a day is verging on obsessive but I'd really to share my experience of meeting JESSICA ALBA in person! Its surreal, I'm still quite dazed from it, who would think that on Wednesday 8th June, 2005 I would meet embark on a crazy wild goosechase in Sydney which would cumulate in meeting arguable the hottest chick on the planet! hehe

So here's the story. Kelvin called me up in the afternoon [whilst I was writing my last post in the library] and tells me that his friend, Bobby, heard from his sister that the cast of the Fantastic Four movie would be appearing at Fox Studios in the afternoon today.

So, after I finished everything at uni, [had my last peer tutoring meeting one on one with wise Dom and had an hour session of maths tuition with Sabata at the roundhouse] met Kelvin and Jason at the Anzac Pd bus stop.

Kelvin FOUND a digital camera lying around at the busstop! Quite amazing, anyway we boarded the bus and went to Fox studios. The place was quiet, at that point I was seriously doubting that they were coming to the studios. So we went up to the Cinema and lo and behold we found out that they were indeed coming, but they were entering and exiting through the back door so no public appearance. But the PR people said that the cast would make a public appearance the W hotel in Wollooloomoloo [sorry for the wrong spelling].

At this point, we didn't know what to do. We didn't know how to transport ourselves from Fox to the W hotel.

But, fortunately the PR people gave us a free CABCHARGE to transport ourselves there!

So we went there, waited 1.45 hours standing up outside the hotel for them to come, and I can truthfully say, it was so worth it!

There weren't that many fans around so I was upfront. Got to see them up close, I got autographs from Mr Fantastic, the Human Torch guy and of course, Miss Alba herself! I took photos and I even spoke to him! It was so cool!

And here's the thing, Kelvin didnt' have a camera today and would have missed his opportunity to take photos; but he actually found a perfectly working digital camera at the busstop!

How crazy is that?! hehe

Anyway Miss Alba is really good looking, incredibly photogenic. She looks exactly like she does in the photos you see of her. A bit shy in person though, I think she's probably more shy and introverted than her on screen characters- i.e. Agent 452 a.k.a Max in Dark Angel!
