Perhaps and prolly the shortest one i’ve ever written…. and the 2nd most ex hotel i stayed in HK… so far…
Hair fly…. lol…
Juz having some flashbacks…
It was sometime back in 2003 when i joined the mIRC channel for Twins Fanclub SG… every communication back then was in mIRC… coz they were coming to SG for the first time together…
TC is the first forum i joined… it was difficult in those years… to find sites in English… I got myself promoted to a moderator after a while… helping out with news translations and others stuffs… We never depended on google translate for news translation which could do an easier job… we went thru the tough way of reading and translating it as accurate as possible… though hard, but TC was fun…. the fanclub then, was a sub section in TC…
Soon… we had the so call war….. i remember it was because of a single word call “OFFICIAL”… some forum sent someone into TC to create havoc… saying TC was not allowed to use the word “official”… n that was becoz, that particular forum decided to start their own English forum… n a subsidiary of their club in SG… yes… i found it freaking ridiculous during that time… y a small country like SG needed 2 fanclubs?
Twins Fanclub SG was only a couple of us… Weimin was the boss back then… the first fanclub event i remembered clearly, was The Twins Effect movie promotion… I took over the club leadership from him when he went NS… i didnt knew how i got myself into that fix and i got stuck till now… LOL…
Few months down, we decided that we wanted our own forum n launch TAS… it wasnt easy, due to the inactivity Twins had in SG… nonetheless, it didnt deter any of us… by 2005 Feb, we officially launched with a new club tee, new membership card design and into our new site n forum… being admin on the forum is not easy… tons of stuffs to do, tons of stuffs to handle….
Y TAS? TWINS Alliance Singapore…. we were asked… we didnt pick the word Alliance for fun nor was it becoz it sounded cool? lol… unity is what we were looking at… Unite is Our Theme… that’s our slogan n it matches… but due to the fact that Singapore was used, we couldnt just use TA for many reasons… we then started having TWINS Alliance USA, TWINS Alliance Canada and TWINS Alliance Australia…
From the few ppl to the hundred over members at our peak… No doubt the membership numbers has drop over the years due to inactivity… but the friendship bond between us has kept it going….
If there’s even a single chance to see them here to promote a single album…. would TAS revive? I dunno and would never want to know….. afterall… we have survived 10 years without that chance…
Ciao… time to go stream Dave Letterman’s Late Show :D
