solerOkay so after seeing Soler at APM yesterday, my Mom has officially sent me the ultimatum.
She said she's had enough of all my madness about the two 鬍鬚仔 (yea, my Mom never calls them Soler) and I've been hanging out way too much.
Right at that moment, the thought of "summer's over" went through me like shock.
Yea, it's over, the vacation's over, my high school folly should be over, I'm starting university, I'm starting an "adult" life. And perhaps this is the reason why I've been in the denial of summer ending and going crazy about Soler and hanging out with different friends with that I-don't-care-and-whatever attitude after the A-level results were released. Knew that not much room for craziness was left, I had to fully utilise every minute to be as crazy outrageous ridiculous as I could, now the quota's up and I have to get serious again.
Within the blink of an eye, a month has gone.
And yea, like what my Mom said, I should collect myself and be ready for the challenges ahead and handle them like a sophisticated independent university student.
Okay but I believe my Soler syndrome will last for far longer than what I've expected, coz the symptom's still showing, like these:
1) Sitting in front of the TV for three hours (okay I was watching Finding Nemo, I wasn't just staring at the TV screen for nothing...) just to wait for Soler's Smartone Ad to show up, and when it did, I shouted "Soler" then kept waving my arms while I screamed "Yes Yes Yes" (for Julio's six packs...hahaha).
2) After watching the ad, I kept singing the opening of 失魂 (which is also the ad song), to be exact, I kept singing "Yeah-ye-yeah-oooh" and my parents watched me going nuts with eyes wide open.
3) Must flip through the two Soler folders I have (they're actually folders in which I keep all the news and magazines pages and pamphlets of Soler) while listening to their album before I fall asleep every single night.
4) Smile secretly whenever someone mentions "Soler", "Julio", "Dino", "鬍鬚仔", "孖仔", "Sun", "Italy", "Macau", "Guitar" and even "Spaghetti". All these words remind me of Soler and even when I see an ad promoting Tourism in Macau, I'll grin like I'm a psycho.
5) Saw an ad about guitar lessons outside of a shop near to my home, and on that billboard, it says the teacher's gonna teach a series of new songs, I spotted out 海嘯 immediately from the looooong list and couldn't help smiling, all the way back to my flat.
6) Will grab the Soler album "Stereo" and examine it in details every time when I'm in a record store, even though I have my copy at home already (and I have the impulse to purchase a copy of the second edition so that I can have that T-shirt which Julio designs, despite the fact that I won't wear it anyway)
7) Will say "hello" and "bye bye" to any Soler posters I saw on streets, stores, MTR stations.
8) Accelerating heart beat on the way to any Soler function.
9) I really dun wanna take that many photos but with a camera in my hands, I can't help but clicking and clicking and clinking to capture every move of the two lovely lovely guys.
10) Having fantasies about Soler, like becoming their assistant and fall in love with Julio or simply falling in love at the first sight with him at a pub or concert, then tell my friends about them like these fantasies are real. And I know my friends are all fed up.
11) Nicknaming Julio and Dino, like 鬍鬚仔 (it's created by my Mom...), 眼訓仔 (refering to Dino by Angie), JuJu (haha my favourite nickname of Julio...I used to say little JuJu....well), Little Dino, Soler仔, 傻仔 (Dino), 孖仔, 大佬 (Julio), 細佬 (Dino), 龍哥 (that's what Dino calls himself), and some others that nobody wants to know...kahaaa
12) My Dad's infected!! After telling me that he knows Soler and he thinks that Soler's songs are good, he threatened me to help him with the cleaning by saying, "Soler won't marry you if you dunno how to clean up the floor!!", and I replied, "I just wanna get chosen by either one...and plus, they know how to cook." I helped anyway. Then my Dad asked where have I gone to see Soler like he's interested in watching their Live show as well.
13) I went to a clear-out of a sports shoes factory, I chose a pair of Puma over DKNY just because Julio loves Puma.
14) Choosing accessories with Rock style because of Julio.
15) Spotting out any guitar-like objects just because of Dino.
16) Organizing all the files in my computer as a result of failing to find a Soler photo.
17) Playing Soler's album whenever I'm ironing, and when I listen to Natural High, I'll start dancing like mad.
18) Checking the Soler official forum and schedule everyday.
19) Calling Kei and talk about Soler once a week.
20) Imitating Soler's accent but end up speaking like Indians talking in Cantonese.
Sometimes I do think this is way too much too silly too crazy for a 19-year-old university freshman. But as long as Soler makes me happy, I'll keep loving these two guys :)
