I'm Friends With A Pop Star!

Last night, a few friends and I to a drive to Genting Highlands. Wasn't really thinking of doing anything, just thought we'd take a drive up and meet with some other friends for fun. You see, the other friends had tickets to a Malaysian Artist Award show. Famous local starts were at the show, including Fish Leong (Liang Jing Rue), Michael and Victor (Guan Liang, Ping Guan; I still don't know who is who Lol!), Gary (Chao Ger), and lots more.

So, after the awards and performances was over, there was a post-award party. Like what you would expect from parties with stars; There were fences set up, guards along the walkway, fans crowding the sides shouting names of whoever was walking pass, lots of flashes from fans taking pictures, stretching out their hands hoping to shake hands.

So while some of my friends were inside the party (they had tickets), the others including me (who had no tickets), just took a stroll around Genting, drinking coffee, "bird watching" and all that crap. :p

After we were done, we went back to the party, trying to catch a peek inside to see if we could find the others. They were still taking pics and hanging around. Getting bored, we gave them a call and asked them if they were coming out soon. They were, so we thought we'd wait at the fence where the other fans was crowding around since that was the only entrance and exit. While waiting, I had the chance to a pretty close look at Fish Leong, Michael and Victor who was just leaving. Tried to reach out and shake their hand. But was out of reach. -_-"

Then a friend had an idea. Lol! A wicked light bulb was burning way way bright. So we crowded at the fence, found a good spot. And camped.

Then the friends we were waiting for inside came out. LOLOLOL!! The moment we saw them, we went "WENG YEW! WENG YEW!!" "SHAKE MY HAND!!" "WENG YEW!! AAHHH!!!" and snapped photo's non-stop. Seriously, our volume rivaled those of Fish leong's fans. Lol!

But my friend just walked straight out, too shy for all that. The funny thing was, the groupies on our left wasn't sure who Weng Yew (our friend's name) was but not wanting to lose out, they went ahead and snapped photo's anyway. Next thing you know, flashes was flying off left and right at my friend. LOLOLOL!!!!

Not only that, just as we at the fence was walking away to meet them at the end of the fenced area. We heard another bunch of groupies going "Weng Yew mut sui ar?" (translation: Who is this Weng Yew?)

LOL! One of us was laughing his arse off and started dropping tears. And when we meet up with the others, Weng Yew was covered in sweat. Lol! SUPAHSTAR-DOM!!!!

And there you have it, I have a superstar for a friend. Famous for a day. Really once in a life time feeling which I would have loved to try. LOL!!!

Unfortunately, on the way home down from Genting. He got a flat and had difficulty replacing cause his spare tire was locked (from rust) to his boot. Ended up calling some other friends to make a u-turn to rescue him. Price of being famous. Lol!!!

As a sidenote, my brakes failed me on the way down from Genting. Brake fade like a #%^*^%#*@@! Shit, definitely need to improve the braking performance of my car.
