so yesterday was a really good day, despite waiting for some person for like 40mins. haha. i was planning to reach there LATEST by 11, since the autograph session starts at 1. cos yknow. people have been known to come like 4 hours before the event. we reached at 11+ and tada! we were the earlybirds. there were like five people there? right.

oh, there was this lucky draw thing. ten people would be given the chance to take a picture with taufik onstage. i wanted it really, really badly. i know, it's not like i've never taken a picture with the man, but please la have you seen me in sec one and two? fugly like shit ok. so anyway, i prayed when i dropped the coupon in and prayed again when he was announcing the lucky ten. trust me, praying pays off.

so i got a really cute polaroid of me and him, plus a hug. [: and i got to talk to him twice, onstage and during the signing itself. which is like damn cool cos usually at autograph sessions all you can say is hello and bye before the guards shove you away.

oh yea, he asked about costumes for the bash too. how now brown cow. i'm thinking willy wonka but we'll see. i cant wait to see what taufik dresses up as. so he sang all because of you and USAH LEPASKAN. he was trying so hard to be in the zone but hey that's not an easy feat considering the hundreds many screaming fans and flashing cameras. but still, i had goosebumps at five different parts of the performance haha. i'm not a loser, the song is just really sad ok.

at first we didnt bother waiting for him to go off. we were too cool to wait at the van la. so we had lunch first and assumed that by the time we were done he'd be gone. but nooo, the damn van was still there. ah so we succumbed to temptation and waited like losers. and waited. and waited. finally we went up to see if the event had even ended or not. apparently it hadnt. like wth what kind of autograph session lasts for an hour. poor thing. we waited at the backdoor, which was near the lift too. makes alot of sense right, he exits, takes the lift down and rush into the van waiting downstairs. sure enough he exited there. he was looking down [TIRED I BET SEE WHAT YOU PEOPLE DO TO HIM] and didnt realise we were there, so i was like HI TAUFIK. he grinned and said, pandai dia eh! alamak. it sounds way funnier in real life, i swear. anyway rai and i were too busy being amused that we didnt fully compute that he took the stairs UP and not the lift DOWN. and that was the last we saw of him. trust me, we waited some more at the van but he never came down. tell me, what on earth would taufik batisah be doing on the 5th floor of bras basah complex? it's really baffling.

we met two more famous people on the way home. we're so cool that they're attracted to us like that. the first was rahimah rahim [senior]. hahah rai got to meet her rahimah rahim after all, though not the same one. and the next one was IMRAN AJMAIN. we were stoning at city hall, waiting for the train...

maryam: OMG IMRAN!

rai: huh who?

maryam: imran ajmain!

rai: oh yeah cool!

maryam: I LIKE HIM

rai: take picture!

maryam: tak nak malu!

-maryam and rai stare with stupid grins on their faces as he and his -ahem- lady friend walk in their direction-

imran: -realises he was being stared at by two grinning idiots- hello!

we said hello back, obviously we didnt just continue staring. HE said hello to US. the star said hello to the dumbfounded fans. it's not like he's ever seen us in his whole entire life, but he was nice enough not only to look at us but to say hi. i mean come on if i were famous i would be so used to getting stares that i would just ignore them. yay imran! we should have taken a picture, but hey i'm all about respecting people's privacy hahaha so we let the dude walk on in peace. anyway this time we were so starstruck [i cant think of any other word heh] that we didnt realise we could have gotten in the train with imran and friend. so we stupidly missed another train.

but taufik made me happy enough so i couldnt care less that i didnt get to see paul or noodle, or take a picture with imran. i love taufik. [:

on another note, the only cousin i associate with got engaged today. soon she'll be married and tada maryam is cousinless.

oh, did i mention that i love taufik?
