Here's the story of ,,,,,'EMBRACE' in Thailand.!!!!
Before the story of EMBRACE in Thailand , let me tell you about the word "EMBRACE" in Thai
Embrace means God,,no doesn't mean God but we pronounce "God" when you say "God" Thai People will know that you mean Embrace ,,,Ok,,now you know why God and Embrace deal together (hehe,,) but only in Thailand :PP

Now the story of EMBRACE in Thailand,,

In the year 1999 one day i was in Kitchen cleaning my dishes (oh,,yeah,, my story with EMBRACE always happened in Kitchen hehe) I heard 'Hooligan' but i never have a clue with Richard's voice i just thought 'This song is lovely,,' and when DJ said 'This is new single from EMBRACE....' i dropped dishes and ran to Radio and asked 'What? Tell me i heard the real thing!',,,hehe I know Radio can not speak.
After heard that i alway phoned to radio station and asked for Hooligan every DJ,, that day i heard of Hooligan for about 5 times !!!
When "You're Not Alone" out and went to No.1 I can't explain the feeling but i felt really really glad.Oneday in the afternoon Joey (DJ)said'Next week we have Richard McNamara from Embrace here ,,phone interview from the UK,,,don't miss' OOhh,, i can't believe my ears , i can't ,, sure i didn't missed that interview,, Embrace seem so huge in Thailand.
When 'You're Not Alone' was in No.1 for 5 weeks and 'Save Me was in no.3 i heard DJ said"Embrace are coming to BKK soon.' OHHHH finally finally,, my dream is coming true!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well after that CVR gave the tickets to EMBRACE fans ,, i tried lots of DJs but i was susseed with 'Julie' when she asked the question you know i was the first line and she asked 'Which Embrace songs reminded Football Fans in Euro2000?' And i replied 'Champione 2000' (OH,,What's a shamed!!!) She said 'Are you confusing something?' So i knew that i was the fool!!!(hehe) so i told her "OH,,wait,,wait,, Embrace's song right? ,,now i know Hooligan!!!" and she said "Yeah!" then i've got one pair of ticket!! Oh,,, i can't believe that!!!
And the night was come and i felt so glad>>>>>>


EMBRACE AT Phuture Pub ,,,
I went inside the hall with my friend,there're plenty of people,,Can't believe EMBRACE are so huge!!
I'm not at front but i can see cleary stage,,,when EMBRACE came out Danny threw yellow flower (which we called 'Dao Reung' or brigthly stars) to the Audience.I love that.

EMBRACE performed 8 songs and 2 times for 'You're Not Alone' and one time ancore ,,,they're so great,, I love EMBRACE....

I came home that night and dreaming of EMBRACE and woke up with bright memory. *_*
  Shed Seven in Thailand (and MR.Alan :))
I'm going to tell you about "Shed Seven" in Thailand and i've met 'Alan Leach" too,,it's now the story ,,,
I've been in Shed 7 gig in 1996 and can't believe that one amazing thing happened!!!!!!!!......
I've met Alan Leach the day after their show in record store (i used to work there) i saw him but no one paid him attention!! I heard someone said "Hey,,they have 'Space/Neighbourhood' single it's cool" then i turned to them ,, and i saw 'Alan Oh my God 'That's Alan ,, i told my self and told everyone but they said 'Who is Alan ,,(oh,,poor him) so i went to say hello and he seemed so glad that i can recognized him (hehe) and we talked a bit then he asked me where to buy Walkman,, so i told him and later he waved bye bye,,shortly later he came back and asked again about the place and how to go there,, and he came again (3rd time!!) and let me wrote in Thai words how to say Taxi to go there,,, one moment some good idea rose in my head (hehe),,i told him 'Well,,i can take you there.'Then he smiled and said 'Oh,,great!! that'll be great,,thanks,,thanks a lot' he seemed so delighted,,and i felt awfully great (hehe) (but firstly i was wondering why he's so delighted cos i meant to send him at Taxi,,later ,,i known that i was the FOOL!!!)so i walked with him and his mate (i'm not sure who is that!) to elevator and i told him ,, 'ok,, i'm gonna send you at Taxi,,' i can saw his face looked disappointed!! and he said 'Oh,,ok that's good' i didn't know why,,hehe,, we talked about many things and talked about the gig too ,,i told him that i was so glad to see him in Thailand and i have the best time of my life (indeed) he seemed so glad (again hehe) ,,,he's so great and cool and friendly ,,when i told Taxi Driver where to drop him and he shook my hand and said 'I'll be back next year around February ,,hope to see you again' so we waved bye,,bye,,, (from then till now he and his band never came back!!
When i went to my work place all of my co-workers said 'Hey,,i thought you were going with him,,don't you??' I said 'No,,,i should?' everybody said 'Can't believe that!!!!!!!! why don't you go with him?! he's a star,, once in your lifetime to be so close with a star like this before!' So,,, i knew that i missed the thing and i was the Fool,, dumbed!!!
But anyway i think this is really cool story (even only a short time hehe) he's in my fave band and i really don't want to disturb him much (but i think he'd appreciate if i'll go with him to buy that walkman cos i can ask to reduce the price ^_^ )
This is one of the best story i ever had :))

EMBRACE at Siam Discovery and Cool Bar...
The following Day EMBRACE went to Siam Discovery Center for signing session,,
I went there with a few friends, one of our friends gave bracelets to every EMBRACE members they seems so glad and we're proud of her :))

Before signing ,,They have mini acoustic show and they played ,,'Hooligan',Save me,,and 2 times for 'You're Not Alone',,,
One of my friends did Fireworks lyrics and tabs in paper and drew a cartoon and she wrote,,,'Fireworks please..' (hehe) and we show this paper during their show,,,Most of them said,,'What?? what's that??' then Danny walked to us and took the paper,,when they saw that paper ,,they smiled and laughted ,, (oh,,what's a lovely band hehe ^_^)
'Oh,,lyrics and tabs!!' they said.
then Danny said 'Sorry we can't play that song.' and Mickey kept the paper,,,after show they brought that paper with!!!!!
But no chance for 'Fireworks' I knew why.

Following hours that night we're going to 'Cool Bar' and EMBRACE performed a small gig,,, I can't believe ,,,I was so close to the band!!!
I sat at front and the stage was so shallow,,,I sat so close to Danny,,I've never expected that I can see my NO.1 fave band so close like this before,,, I just wanna cry. I love them soooooo much. *_*

Oh,,before the gig,,they have a quiz and I've got Heineken hat with Embrace's autographs!! I was so delighted.....

Wish i can see them soon.
