I have a confession to make part deux
Ok, this is really quite ultimately embarrassing. And I really dunno wassup with me? Am I like in denial that I am like, 26 years old?
You see, about 3 months ago (I think), in the thick of the Singapore Idol Frenzy ("SIF"), I emailed Jonathan Leong.
Then, about 2 months ago, in the super thick of the SIF, he actually replied. But it was a mass mail to all his 'fans'. The day before the finals I think. The recipients of the mass mail were undisclosed. The gist of the email was thank you for supporting me and please vote for me at the finals. [Thankfully I only voted once because my boss told me early in the day that Hady's votes were double his and I figured I couldn't singlehandedly help him win so I gave up.]
Then about 1 month ago, after the SIF, I randomly emailed him again. About a book I was reading, Salman Rushdie's Midnight's Children.
Today, 2 months after the SIF, I received another mass email from him regarding his concert (together with alot of other people) at the indoor stadium. This time the recipients list was disclosed. There were probably about 25 people on the list, of which I was one of the 25. Presumably, these 25 people emailed him in the course of the 2 months after the SIF and he was responding to all of them, I mean, us.
And when I saw his email, I totally freaked out because....
(i) I am in this list of 25 people which is probably made up of 12 year old girls who have just completed their PSLE 2 weeks ago.
(ii) Need I say more?
Ok, so I seriously reflected on my behaviour. I mean, I repeat, I really dunno wassup with me? Am I like in denial that I am like, 26 years old? I came up with some possible reasons for my somewhat inexplicable behaviour.
(i) I missed out on all this when I was a teenager. Save for the scarf that I knitted for Vanness at age 22, one of the members of the now defunct F4. The scarf is still somewhere in my room. It was my first (and last) attempt at knitting. Quite pleased with my efforts.
(ii) I am incapable of forming decent friendships/relationships with males that I know. Which is why I have to resort to emailing a Singapore Idol contestant I do not know.
(iii) I never had an imaginary friend when I was young so I have to make up for lost time by making a 'virtual' friend.
(iv) I really really want to be his friend.
Ok, none of the above makes any sense to me yeah? I'm still as bewildered as ever. And yes quite embarrassed by myself. So I'm sharing my embarrassment with you so that if it's spread out amongst more people, it will be spread thinner and therefore I will be less embarrassed.
And will I email him again? I don't know man. Maybe a month later, 4 months after the SIF. Which would bring us to 'I have a confession to make part trois'. Pretty soon, those who do not know how to count in french will soon learn. What an educational, informative blog I have. Pleased.
