WARNING: This post will be a long post. I am writing it as soon as I got back from the premiere so, the adrenaline is still here.
I had won passes thanks to the lovely people from filmink magazine to go to the Australian premiere of The Bourne Legacy, also on the guest list is director Tony Gilroy and actor Jeremy Renner. Those who know me, would know about my renner obsession. I found out the news on Thursday, and by Monday the passes still have yet to arrived. I was pissed, it was night time and I wanted my passes. That is until my mom suddenly called me saying she got an email from UniLodge telling her that I had received a parcel and it was to be collected in the reception immediately, I jumped out of my seat and ran downstairs in my pajamas (she called me at 7:58pm and the reception closes at 8pm). I got down and they were closing down but the receptionist was nice enough to give me my parcel. What do you know, it was 2 passes to the premiere. I started squealing along the corridors of Unilodge. That night we also decided that lovely Natalie will accompany me to the premiere.
Woke up 12 hours before Renner took his first step onto the red carpet, I could not concentrate the whole day. Even in class I would just stare at the ceiling and start a conversation with my friends starting with the sentence "You know what day it is today? *creepy smile* IT'S FINALLY TUESDAY." I was so excited, I wanted to puke. Literally, my stomach was just not right and I did not eat anything the whole day. So my last class ended and I straight went to the city, Natalie and I have arranged to meet up at Dymocks because we just love books don't we. On my way there, I spot a couple of fans waiting near the entrance and recognized one of them as Carina (who I have been stalking the whole day to get some renner updates) and I started talking to her and her friends.

| This is lovely Carina and behind is her friend Gino. |
- Waited for a while until they assigned us fans where to stand for the red carpet. At one point the security guard, Kevin, and his friend were talking about my friend and I as he was whispering something and dead on pointed at us. Why? The next point should explain why.
- This why Kevin is great, as they let the media people in first, Kevin told my friend and I both to come to him. We were of course confused, and turns out he got us one of the best spot. We thank you Kevin. We are very grateful.
- Carina and I started doing stretches as we wait for Tony Gilroy and Jeremy Renner to come by.
- Tony Gilroy got off from his black SUV, spoke to a couple of fans which luckily includes me too. Had a decent usual conversation with him such as "how are you?" or "how are you liking Sydney?" He noticed my pass and excitedly asked "You're going to watch the premiere?" I said yes and he looked ecstatic.
- approximately 20 minutes after Gilroy came by, everyone was wondering where Renner is. Suddenly everything went silent and the cars in the traffic were gone and WOOOSSHH sounds of motorcycle stunts were everywhere and TADA! Renner came in, in a motorcycle. Everyone cheered. A lot of us then shouted "LET'S STRETCH BITCHESSSSSSSSSSSS!" which he laughed. His publicist would later ask me "who shouted that?" I answered all of us did, she looked surprised and asked "oh you guys watched that?!" Oh yes we did.
- As he went pass through me and my friend, we got autographs and pictures however unlike the conversation with Gilroy, he had to move faster since more fans are eager to see him.
- THE HAWKWARD MOMENT I HAD WITH HIM AND HIS PUBLICIST SHALL BE KEPT AT THE END OF THE POST BECAUSE IT IS THE MOST AMUSING THING IN MY OPINION (usually my embarrassing moments are amusing to my friends).
- After meeting Renner, my friend and I decided to hurry and went into the theater since the seating is first come first serve. As we're walking, Kevin looked surprised because he didn't know we had passes. Kevin is amazing y'all.
- Walking and jumping and strutting down the red carpet like a bad ass mofo.
- The seats were quite full so we asked the usher who placed us in the first freakin row. We got first row seating.
- Renner and Gilroy came on stage for a while. Tony Gilroy recognized me and my friend from the crowd, I smiled at him and he smiled back from the stage. It was an awesome moment.
- As I haven't eaten all day, luckily Universal Pictures have given everyone in the premiere little boxes of snacks which consists of: peanuts, crackers, cheese and a macaroon. It was nice. Technically that was my whole meal for the day.
- I just love it when the crowd starts clapping at the end of the movie, which is what happened tonight.
- I know this is not related but ONE OF MY FAVORITE MUSICIAN FOLLOWS ME ON TWITTER AND IT BROUGHT UP MY MOOD EVEN MORE WHICH I DIDN'T THINK WAS POSSIBLE.
After exchanging a few words with Renner. He slowly moved along, for some reason (this is me starstruck and the fact that my best friend, Tuna, control half of my mind) I stared at his arm. And then for some reason without thinking it through, these words came out of my mouth: "Can I poke your arm?"
After 5 seconds of my brain finally working, I mentally slap myself and thought 'WHY THE FUCK DID I JUST SAY THAT THE FUCK CHRYS FUCK ICAN WUT FUCK THE HELL'
I quickly add, "Too weird isn't it? It is too weird." Him and his publicist both were laughing and said "Yeah maybe just a little bit."
HEY AT LEAST I DIDN'T POKE HIS NOSE LIKE I ORIGINALLY PLAN OK THAT WAS EVEN WEIRDER ugh what is wrong with you brain but it would make a funny story to tell the folks; the hawkward moment with the hawk.
The only regret I have is that I should have said something in Indonesian to him like I don't know on the top of my head "ANJING LO GANTENG BANGET BABI" or maybe something more subtle such as "PANTAT LO"
And so the Renner Sydney Invasion has come to an end, peace y'all x
