I AM M.A.D.: Monthsary Reflection on Binkan Manila 23112022, a month after.

It was an unbelievable journey I had taken in the autumn of 2022. In a way, I felt that it was my mum in heaven, wanting me to make this journey to shed the pale shadow of my former self which I had been miring in and to rediscover the joy of being me, the spontaneous, creative and adventurous good old me.

Going for Park Eun Bin Binkan Note Asia Tour Fan Meeting from Manila to Singapore and now she is coming to Malaysia, has been such a revelation. Memories I will cherish for the rest of my life.

While I had been actively promoting Binkan KL for the past week, today, I was all quiet about it because I wanted to relish the memories I had from Binkan Manila. It was a journey of my many firsts. My first fan meet, first trip to Manila, first time travelling with strangers to foreign land and staying in the same hotel room.

Picture: The three ladies of MY Bingos in Manila. We had another lady with us. She was a super duper fan. She arrived from KL just before the fan meet and left the same day, immediately right after. We didn't have time to take pictures together.

First time meeting bunny queen Eun Bin, first time having a Hi-Bye session with her. To be honest, our mission was, since Malaysia wasn't in the list of her Asia Tour, since she couldn't come to us, to go to her and let her know that she has a fan club here in Malaysia.

There were many fans in our group who couldn't make the overseas trips, ,so, we wanted to bring to her attention that we would love to have her in Malaysia, being the friendly hospitable Malaysians we were. At every opportunity, we showed our A4 signboard with our fan club logo and MALAYSIA.

To our surprise, fellow Filo Bingos were so supportive of us, we were so timid and were like little mice. They pushed us to the front to get the GMA station interviewed us, they helped us raise our signboards for Eun Bin to see and they made us felt so much warmth and happiness.

And from Manila, we got to know fans from Korea,Taiwan and Singapore. We got ourselves connected as some of us were planning to go to Binkan TH and SG as well. That was our personal journey in Manila. The fan meet itself, as I have said in my previous tweet, it was a puzzle. Every fan meeting is a puzzle with Eun Bin revealing different aspect of herself at each stop. We attend the fan meetings in different countries to collect the puzzles that will make a complete her..

The fan meeting in Manila was a love affair, a love meeting between Eun Bin and her Asian fans. It was a healing event. An electrifying, explosive, healing session right from the moment it started till it ended. I' had never felt so loved and appreciated and if I could feel it, so could everyone else including Eun Bin. The passion and exuberance demonstrated by the fans were just unbelievable.

When she cried, after watching the fan video, many of us cried. The words were taken right from our hearts and to see our feelings being so expressively well articulated were just beyond what our emotions could contain. I would never ever forget that moment.

Binkan Manila will forever be entrenched in the deepest of my heart. And because it was also the first destination for Eun Bin in her Asia Tour, I was truly glad that she had such an emotionally filled experience. And it was very obvious that night that she had let her hair down.

Seeing her being so BFF with Kring Kim, so natural, so comfortable, so friendly and unpretentious, she truly was herself that night. I was extremely glad I had made the impromptu decision to go to Manila. I was thinking of going only to Binkan SG. As much as Eun Bin is filling her Binkan with her fan meetings, we are also filling our binkan with memorable experiences from various stops.

Rewatching videos of Binkan Manila never fails to put a smile on my face.

The high feeling of Binkan Manila lasted till my journey back to Malaysia. For a week after that, I was still glued onto my phone. Abigail said I was suffering from PFMD. Post Fan Meeting Depression. It took tremendous amount of effort to finally get Binkan Manila out of my mind.

I believed that one just needed to attend Eun Bin's fan meeting once, and then to realise that you needed to see her again. Once just wasn't enough. I was extremely lucky that I got to see her again in Binkan SG which I will save the opportunity to tell my tale another time.

Binkan KL, might be the last, the second last fan meeting, I don't know. It was the rarest of all opportunities that Eun Bin's making her way to Binkan KL. I think I must've saved a country in my previous life to be able to see her for the third time. There might not be any more fan meetings.

All I know is that we have to make Binkan KL an unforgettable one for Eun Bin and for ourselves. So, let's bring the house down. Let's fill the place with Christmas cheer and spirit and our love for Eun Bin. She had sacrificed her Christmas family time for us and so had we.

So, let's make Binkan KL our Bingo family Christmas Eve Fan Meeting Party!!!!!
