Went for my 1st book signing... Mitch Albom book signing @ ION... had Felicia for company...

Queue up for the signing aft making those purchase... wait~ wait~ wait~
He reached slightly after one... And gave a very interesting speech... can't rmb e exact speech... Below are some of the more impactful part that I remember...
When he reach, he start his speech with: "Woah, don't you people has a job?"
He been in Singapore for a few days... And this is the first time he came to Singapore. He shared his thought about coming to Singapore. "When my first book is out, someone had asked me to come to Singapore but I told him nah, it's too far. When I publish my 2nd book, I was asked to come over to Singapore as well, but I gave the same response. This time, my publisher sending me over to Australia and New Zealand, and told me to drop by Singapore as it's on the way. So I say why not. On the flight, I check with them the duration, only to know that the flight is 18hrs. 18hr?! That's not on the way from ANYWHERE!"
And he ended with: "I better get on with the signing of the book. I believe at least 2 or 3 of you are working. And I think a few of you look like you had skip school to come for this. You should be reading in school, not reading here. Anyway, don't have to be so serious since it's a Friday"
Had lots of laughter hearing his speech...
