Great love and tragedy come hand in hand. All great love ends tragically, because no one can live forever. -Nicholas Sparks
That day was really tiring.. I arrived at The Podium around 11 in the morning, and found a very long line. I lined up, and eventually had my chance on the draw lots.
I was unlucky. I’ve picked “sorry” from the box.. But I believe that if you didn’t get it the first time, you should just try again.. so I did try again and finally got a printed “YES”!! :) My number though was a little letdown.. hahaha.
Here’s a view of the stage :)
And here is Nicholas Sparks with the lucky host.
See here, how many people came just to have his autograph.
That shot was taken from the 3nd floor.. I stayed there while waiting for my turn. Gaaaad, I’m 904th! Sparks signed up 1000+ books and that is just awesome! :) Hahaha.
I sat on the 3rd floor, and stared at him for 4 hours! I’m shocked that I’m not inlove with him yet. hahahaha.
For those who do not know Nicholas Sparks, here is a brief background. He’s the author behind the bestselling novels, A Walk to Remember and The Notebook. These novels together with Nights in Rodanthe, Dear John and The Last Song, were made into films and naturally made Sparks more popular.
A lot of fans may have loved him for his A Walk to Remember and The Notebook, or his Message in a Bottle.. but The Wedding actually did it for me. I haven’t read The Lucky One yet, but I plan to read it before it shows on movie theaters this 2012.
Here’s my photo with him,
and here’s the signed book
I even got a marker souveneir! :)
