Monday febuary the 8th 1999.... 8.14 AM: I was ready to take the train to Schiphol. It was snowing and it was cold. The trip with the train went fine.
9.45 AM: On Schiphol I had to wait for the bus to Showbiz City in Aalsmeer. I was nervous, because I thought I was going to be to late, but I was in time!
10.10 AM: The bus arrived at Showbiz City and I walked to a group standing in behind a gate. It was really nice to see all the other fans, whom I kinda knew from internet. We talked about all kinds of things, while we were waiting. The "ticket window" was supposed to be opened at 10.30 AM, but it wasn't until (about) 11.45 AM before we could get our (free) tickets. When we had them we went to the main entrance and we waited again. There were more people coming. We asked to a doorkeeper if he knew anything about the time Whitney would come, and he said she was stuck in traffic, which wasn't strange, because there were a lot of traffic-jams that day (in fact the most there have ever been on the Dutch roads!).
(about) 1.30 PM: We saw the limo arriving, and that was the point I got really nervous! What surprised me most was the fact that Whitney didn't walk over the red carpet, but that she just came out of Showbiz City for a (little) while. I wasn't disappointed like some others. In fact I was glad she came outside! Then we had to wait ‘til after 2.00 PM before we could go into the "disco". They told us we weren't allowed to make pictures inside. We went inside and I stood on the second row, so I was very close to the (little) stage. They told us what would happen and we had to wait for Whitney (again). A few minutes before the performance she came on top of the stairs and I could see her very well, but like I said, we weren't allowed to take pictures (D@#%!).
AND THEN..... The intro of “It's Not Right, But It's Okey” was played and Whitney came down and started singing. I was really surprised by the sound of her voice, IT WAS GREAT! I have been singing and applauding during the whole performance. Then she went up with the "surprised" fan (called Bianca, we all didn't know her). After the performance we've seen the recording 2 times and I loved it, it was really GREAT!!!!
(Don't know the time): We went to wait for the limo to come outside again and when it did we all waved. I made a few pictures, but I couldn't get Whitney on them, although she had the window open on the side I stood. Me and D.J. started following the limo, to be able to make some beautiful pictures. But I guess only D.J. made some. After this all, we walked to the bus-stop and we went with the bus to Schiphol. When we were there we all went our own way. In the train I was very tired, but also very satisfied about what happened. I will not forget this day!
~~~IT WAS GREAT~~~
I would like to thank: Whitney (of course!) AND: Chantal (girl, without your organization of the tickets and stuff, I would never have made it to Aalsmeer!) To all the other fans who were there: guys, I liked meeting you and I would love to do it again!
Take a look at my pictures!
