I'm sure you can find them, your failure rate in meeting your idol (both physically & virtually) is quite low.

AND THEN.... whooooooyay~~~~

Agnes Tan went from being "in a relationship" to "married."

Agnes Tan and Adrian How are married. Agnes Tan and Adrian How said their vows and made it clear on Facebook. They're married. They said they have dated since 2007.

AND IM GOING TO SEE THEM THIS EVENING!!!~

The Moffatts - 10 years ago.

i don't even know how we came upon this topic today on messenger
(scott, do you remember?????)
Exactly 10 years ago,
we were 14 years old, in class 2SE.
At the back of a decade old classroom, around 2 small desks,
there were about 7 girls sitting around the desks in a circle,
with no relief teachers in sight, no prefects, no rules no boundaries,
Lay Mien, Lok Mien, Lay Ching, Sook Hui, Ko Yun, Ling Li & Myself,
and with other girls watching, like Kwan Ling & Wei Leng & Sasha .....
while the girls in circles, eyeing each other knowingly, we begin a battle.....
to sing out Moffatts songs one by one in the classroom!!!!!
YEAH! like a MOFFATTS SONG BATTLE....
can you believe how insane were we???

We were battling from Track 1 - 12 plus bonus tracks,
we actually remembered every single track!!!!
every single lyrics, every way to sing, and every expression!
(no wonder our english can improve so fast ler!!!!)
From the na na na's of I'll Be There For You - click here
to the sappy love ballad Miss You Like Crazy - click here
to the song that we scream on top of our lungs CRAZY - click here
to the soooo meaningful final track IF LIFE IS SO SHORT - click here
growing up with them.....after so many years......

and suddenly phasing into a teenage angst period, these tracks developed my taste in rock,
MISERY was a hugeeeee Moffs change!! I even thought I wanna go into the production career to make MTV's after watching it!!! So i started scripting for the next possible track; (seriously, i even send the draft to Amanda Teh my senior, and HRH Kimberly some random girl who claims to be of royal blood related to Prince William, and i bet i was such a toy to her, listening to all her famous family members stories and parties, but somehow secretly believe that its true, cos she did send me really super expensive pendants.....well, i think it is, its kinda like Opal??? ANYWAYS!!!!!) I love this track, so i make an mtv story for it - WRITTEN ALL OVER MY HEART, and it was like played 100 times more on my computer for inspiration over that Celine Dion My Heart Will Go On (and i will die if i hear it one more time!!!)...

and suddenly, life caught up .... and i didnt hear from them until the....SUBMODALITIES era, seriously!!!!!!! thats why my english improve also la, their album name also so canggih, and for the obvious reason that, for every single track, there's a reason for every single word being written, a muse that inspires them to write and write and compose and compose and make it known.... from Bang Bang Boom! - I Don't Want You To Want Me - SPY -Walking Behind - i guess gradually it makes me wanna read more and read, and i begin to like to listen to rock, something really weird i cant comprehend, but it makes total sense why i like limp bizkit, linkin park, hedley, sum41 and more...

isnt it funny...... how times seems to slip away so fast, one minute you're happy, the other you're sad, one minute you're 14, the other you're 24, and for once, even if people still laugh at my taste of music, i actually can tell them, so what??? i grew up with The Moffatts,
and they gave me super lovely great memories about being young, fun, rock, no rules, nothing matters, everything matters, following my dreams, dream big, dream crazy, jump as high as you want, and knowing that when you touch the ground, you have nothing to regret about!

thats MUSIC FOR LIFE, for you!!!!!!!!!
I LOVE THE MOFFATTS!!!!! WITH DOUBLE F, and DOUBLE T!
I DONT CARE IF THEY ARE GEEKY LOOKING TO YOU!!!!!
I LOVE THE MOFFATTS!!! I LOVE CANADIAN MUSIC!!!
I LOVE SCOTT, CLINT, BOB, DAVE!!! I LOVE SCOTTTTT!!!
I LOVE MY CANADIAN BOYFRIEND !!!!!!!!
(that has absolutely nothing to do with music...but simply la...)

im going happily high and high and drunk listening to the album now....

Past & Present 2 - IDOLS leads the way.

THESE are SIGNIFICANT.

so significant that i had a really hard time

to decide whether to throw or to give these away!

i guess no one likes The Moffatts anymore do they?

They ruled my life, my taste in music, guys,

pictures, colors, dream profession,

language especially, cos i was a Chinese-Edu kid,

so i had to work extra hard to understand

what the hell are they talking abt in these mags,

i guess this is really the basis of why i fervently

aims to improve my english.... its EVERYTHING!

and it was SCARY but i think its purely a coincident

that my favorite member happened to be Scott,

its a common name aint it in Canada (?_?)

freaky, but i laugh and stash this away.

I feel like a library or something, *** SNEEZES!

I figure I can auction these away to collectors too,

but decide that the music scene is changing so swiftly,

these may not be valuable to anyone anymore,

OK...this is freaky, this is my fav guy from the group 5ive,

his name is Scott too..... this is wayyyy too scary.

BOYBANDS - MY RANKING

1. Westlife

2. 5ive

3. 911

4. 98 Degrees

5. the rest of the boybands in the world

Do you know? these magazines RULED my life from

13 to my college years? can you imagine the amount of

allowance / angpows / part time cash spent on these?

AND this is the MOST EXPENSIVE of that LOT!

I always suffered that big pinch when i pay for it

but i know inside there are lots of

pin-ups / gossips / interviews / lyrics / more pictures

of everyone they i idolize..... LOL~~

yeah and im the kind who scream

when i see a good picture,

(i still do that, dont i??? hahaha)

This is the FIRST EVER concert i attend!

I was 15 years old, i was BEGGING MY DAD,

to let me stay at my friends place so

we could go see The Moffatts together!

I beg, i cried, i wrote a long letter, i wish,

i save RM90 for the tickets and i did

everything i possibly could so he'd let me go.

cos my mom couldnt handle me anymore!

EVENTUALLY, it was 12am when my dad came home,

my eyes were still red and bulgy from crying every night,

he finally said yes, and gave me more pocket money,

and the next morning, i skip school, (@_@)

so i could go to the Concorde Hotel in Shah Alam,

just so we can catch a glimpse (more like STALK)

our favoriteeeee boyband!!!!~~~

it made me feel like the luckiest person on earth

to see them performing LIVE!!!~~ and to sing

along every song and jump and scream

and NO i did not cry, and just hug everyone

after the concert ends, I LOVE THE MOFFATTS!

Suddenly i was 17 & 18 and i no longer go so crazy

about any boybands or idols or whatever....

until I saw this picture in a chinese magazine,

i must emphasize that i HARDLY look at chinese mags,

thats why I can even remember who showed it to me!!!!!

it was Caren, Mandy & Felice, we were all 17 back then.

I asked Caren, pointing at the guy in the picture

"Who is this? Looks amazing!"

"Dont you know? He is Edison Chen!"

"What does he do? actor?"

"Yeah, he was in the latest Gen-Y-Cops"

"wah......is it good?the movie? can he act?"

Caren rolled her eyes "dont u even watch movies?"

"er no.... NOT those stupid movies from HK anyway!!!"

"well,this is different, its action packed, u'll like it"

"so he speaks cantonese too? he doesnt look very canton to me"

"i think he's from Canada, and was spotted while in HK,

he speaks canton in a weird accented way"

"SEEEEEE i knewww it!!!" I exclaimed,

"if this guy were any other HK actor,

i wouldnt even asked you!!! i just knew his DIFFERENT!"

(@_@) so thats how i know EDC.

and thats why, i fuggin~ hate it when ppl judge me

"why do u like edison chen?"

well, i cant possibly just tell them

"i knew he was different the moment i saw his face"

cos it sounds f***ing shallow, right?

there are somethings u just cant explain

but it will all fall into place and its PERFECT.

and do you know why I chose Media Studies

when I have to decide a major in college?

its all thanks to Edison Chen too!

Yes, he was the basis of my course selection,

i remember counting the years,

"to spend 4 years to get education,

2 years working experience

and I should be ready to go work for EDC"

i keep this in my head throughout my years in college,

i myself know it sounds SUPER SILLY,

but you know what, if it keeps me going,

why should i IGNORE it?

i sincerely thank my family, my friends,

BL AND Edison Chen

for my good grades during my convocation,

it felt like a chapter was complete when i receive my scroll on stage.

thank you so much!

not like EDC will ever know this, but isnt it amazing?!

someone i dont even know can make me do amazing things!

just cos the first time i saw him i thought he's amazing too!

most mags are contributions from friends,

especially EdmundTan, gave me tons of chinese mags,

and ArielChong too (sometimes), cos she likes EDC too,

i think i just might be able to WRITE a LONG essay

on why i like edison chen, hahaha!!!~

And of cos, Jien,

our Malaysian Idol host

was there briefly to keep me thinking

about a profession in media industry.

College proove to be one of the most fruitful years,

the fact that i like EDC = desire to work with EDC

and so, it all begans with my first volunteer work

with a local event organizer company

in a Music Award Ceremony, in Genting Highlands

it featured soooo many chinese superstars,

from Aaron Kwok, Coco Lee, Lee Hom, David Tao, SHE etc

but my main aim was bcos EDC was there, hehehe..I also discovered some of my bestest friends there ever,

I mean, to spend day and night, working tirelessly,

these friends were those who motivated me,

by staying supportive, and teasing me abt Edison,

but i love them all. i really do.

and this volunteer / part time venture

went on for the next 4 years,

covering sooo many concerts / events

to see Jay Chow, Jolin Tsai, MayDay,

FIR, Energy, Elva and many more idols of the lot,

i REALLY lost count! The thing is, idols never seemed to die,

its a phase in my life, from The Moffatts to Boybands,

and that drastic change to EDC, including now,

the top chinese rockband MayDay,

I began to read more chinese books,

cos i've 'devoured' more time to read english mags,

than any other stuff, so i guess Mayday ASHIN came

at the time where i learn to appreciate the

chinese language... honestly, it was then,

i spend every evening in the college library,

searching for books that they read too.

and then a funny thing happen,

i watch a Korean Drama "Full House"

and i think this tall lad with small eyes

is really one of a kind entertainer!

his name is Rain. lol.

yeah, he is also the last of all the idols

that i've ever look up to,

and i said to myself

"this will be the last concert that i'll work"

and then like a chapter of my life complete

i feel good about all of them,

they have all been such positive influence in my life!
